To answer a question means to provide and answer… duh…

Bob115: Okay, let's clear this up. Astraea is Satia. Satia is Astraea. They're one and the same. Astraea is her official 'god name'. Satia is the name she used when she met Serika. Satia/Astraea took Serika's soul in her body and sealed her own until Naruto came along. After the fusion process, there's no longer such thing as Serika's personality, Serika's memories are Naruto's memories. Serika and Naruto fused to create a person that called himself 'Naruto'. No going back. But Satia/Astraea's soul is still sealed in the body. The memory sequence is jumbled up because …well, I'm pretty sure that your memories don't return in order when you have amnesia… Hopefully that clears up your confusion.

Naruto is going to start getting depressed at this rate…

Blood, Body and Soul

Chapter 4

Dawn approached slowly. He hasn't moved from his position since last night. And the memories were still flowing back. His self understanding grew.

But right now…

Another flash.

Flashback:

He allowed her to adjust to him before moving out and entering her again slowly. Both moaned in pleasure. It was his first time, and her first as well.

"Mmm… Serika…"

"Satia…"

Her body felt so good. The creamy white skin that's as soft as it looked, the full and rounded but perky breasts; the softness of her touch, her hot and wet folds… It was all perfect… He relished in the feeling of her in his arms and continued to please the both of them.

As their feelings of euphoria reached the peak, their lips met in a loving kiss as their bodies relaxed.

He didn't know why, but he could feel his strength becoming drained when they made love.

"Serika."

"Hmm?"

"I have to teach you sex magic…" She said.

He nearly choked on his own breath. She giggled at his expression.

"What? Why?"

"You already know who I am, so there's no need to hide it from you. My body takes energy from all around it, the speed of the consummation increases when we… do… it…" Her face gained a lovely shade of red the almost matched her hair. "So anyways, unless you want to become a mummified, you'd have to learn it."

"You didn't tell me how this sex magic works..."

"Oh… well, it's quite simple really. It works by absorbing my energy at the same time as my body absorbs yours." She stated.

"Ah… I see."

"Just so you know, this is the most efficient and the fastest way of recovering mana and energy. But don't you dare go around sucking people's energy dry." She added the last part teasingly.

He smiled and decided to add in a bit for kicks. "Not without your permission."

She giggled and he chuckled.

"Well, it goes like this…" She started explaining.

Flashback END

Naruto raised an eyebrow. Sex magic? I'm pretty used to seeing myself doing things to her… but… He looked at his reflection in his sword and twitched. This is getting a little disturbing…

Konoha village archive: level 9

Uzuki Yuugao looked at the door that led to level 10 with a raised eyebrow.

It's just a wooden door… unlike the previous metal gates that had multiple layers of traps and such on it.

I wonder… She unlocked the door with a click and pushed it open.

There's only one thing in the room, something that hadn't been touched for an extremely long period of time if the layer of dust on the floor had anything to say. It was something that resembled a podium, something royal, if the gold embroidery that adorned the side of the violet drape was anything to go by.

Yuugao walked towards the podium and spied a book resting above a layer of red cloth. She carefully took the book and dusted it, blowing away the rest of the dust that had collected.

Her eyes widened at the title.

Sylphill

After exhaling a long breath, she raised an eyebrow. That's it? Seriously? Just Sylphill as the title? How lame… the ANBU flipped open the cover, and flipped the page… and flipped the page… and flipped the page… and flipped the age… then started flipping through the book at an insane speed. Her eyes narrowed. There was nothing but white pages. A seal… She muttered in her mind. Judging by the fact that the book was found in level 10, it probably can only be read by someone possessing a doujutsu. She cursed her luck.

The Uchihas are planning a coup d'état, the Hyuugas are mostly power hungry bastards… that leave just him… She shook her head. The elite ANBU swordswoman had found nothing on the name: Sylphill in both level 8 and 9 of the archive. And this book in front of her literally screamed the name Sylphill… She took the book walked out the door. Better report to the Hokage… at least I don't have to do any paperwork… She thought on the bright side, a smile quickly emerged from under the cat mask.

Atop the Yondaime's head:

Naruto opened his eyes again as another flash flashed by. Finally everything was in order, every little piece of memory. He felt so tired right now… so tired that he might fall asleep any moment. No… there is something I must make sure of… He held his head high and let the natural wind billow through his long hair.

"I call upon thee, Amaterasu of the heavens, Susano-o of the hells, Tsukuyomi of the seas, Kamui of the skies and Izanagi of the earth. Show your true selves to your master once again!"

One by one, the deities appeared in front of him. Yellow kimono, black armor, white robe, silver trench coat and blue jacket, their hair and eye color were the same as their clothes. "Yes, master?" one wearing the blue jacket inquired.

Naruto hid the slight pleasure he got from being called master and gave his orders. "Destroy the contract that binds your powers to the Uchihas. From this day forth, no Uchiha other than myself and Uchiha Itachi shall have the ability to use the Mangekyo Sharingan unless I wish for it. Am I understood?"

"Crystal." He answered.

"Good. Dismissed." He gave them a small smile.

They returned the smile and disappeared. A silent message was conveyed: "It's good to be back." "We're glad."

Tsuchi no Kuni:

Uchiha Madara walked leisurely down the road, his mind plotting and planning. The Uchiha coup d'état hasn't happened yet because Itachi's absence… I wonder if I should go back and take care of things myself… He thought, gazing at the sky with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingans behind an orange mask. Kiri's Kekkei Genkai wielders' number has gone down greatly thanks to the Mizukage and his Bijuu… whom was under his control even now.

This was the sight a bunch of bandits stumbled upon. It wasn't a good idea to attack in the broad daylight, but hey… he was alone and seems like a weak little ass…

Madara felt the slight movement in the bush to his right and snorted. Insolent lowlifes… He figured that he would humor them for trying to ambush him and stopped in his steps. Soon, a dozen or so men jumped out of the trees and pointed their swords at him.

His brows furrowed. Something was wrong… normally he would be able to see their movements before they moved… His eyes widened. Could it be? Without another thought, he tried to bring himself to his personal dimension. Nothing happened. What! How can this be! He screamed in his mind and turned towards one of the bandits. Susano-o! He yelled in his mind. Again, nothing happened.

A random bandit came forth with his sword reared back.

Izanagi!

The sword impacted his shoulder.

IMPOSSIBLE!

Deciding not to take anymore unnecessary risks, he ran through a few hand seals quickly and breathed out fire from his mask with a cry of:"Ryuuka no Jutsu!"

Two of the bandits were burned to death while the rest of them ran away seeing that their target knew how to use ninjutsus.

As soon as the bandits were gone, Madara took off his mask and took out a handy mirror. He stared at his eyes that were reflected in the mirror. For a second, he saw the things he treasured most, before that reality crumbled and he was faced with the brutal truth. His eyes were as normal as any ordinary man. "No… NO… NOO!" He shouted in outrage. This was unacceptable. Totally unacceptable! All those planning… all those missions… all those risks… were they all for nothing? His eyes gleamed for a second before he changed directions. He would need a new pair of eyes.

Nagato and his group would be too difficult without Izanagi… I will have to make a trip to Konoha… Itachi should still have his Mangekyo… He thought madly with hope. Was there an error within my calculations? Were the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingans still controlled by the flow of time? What went wrong! Why would they just... disappear? He looked at the petty sword cut inflicted by the stupid lowlife and growled. Such humiliation…

He shook his head madly and broke into a sprint towards Konohagakure.

Konohagakure:

It was Monday again. The village functioned as it would on any other day. Well, with a small exception. There was a new student in the Academy. Long crimson hair, shining sapphire eyes, milky white skin. One could mistake him for a girl from a distance, especially since he was still eight and hasn't reached the age of puberty. Up close, it would be even more confusing, especially his voice, one that sounded so definitely female…

He walked through the gate of the Academy totally oblivious to how much damage a single order of his had done to a certain Uchiha. He was starting to understand why he decided to sleep thousands of years ago. Life is getting boring… and the sight of lolicons drooling at his appearance didn't help either… He had yet to figure out a way to talk to her. Not to mention a certain inner conflict that's going on in his mind right now. Kill something… no I shouldn't… kill something… no I shouldn't… etc. etc…

It was something inside of him, the bloodlust… After retrieving every single fragment of his memory, the lust for battle had come back. And without a doubt, in a few years, the lust for sex would come back too.

That was the state he's in when he opened the classroom door.

"Let me introduce you to our new student." A chunin with a scar on his nose said, motioning for Naruto to go in.

Naruto inspected the room and couldn't help but smirk. So many prank targets waiting to be hit… He walked next to the podium and introduced himself with his slightly deeper voice. "My name is Naruto, Naruto Sylphill, nice to meet you."

"Hey hottie! Come sit next to me!" A boy with red triangular markings on his face shouted.

Naruto's eyebrow twitched. Only eight and already like this? Must be from having a bossy sister… He stared at the boy and said the words that scar him for life. "Are you gay? Because I'm a male."

"Ha! Kiba you dumbass!"

The entire class burst out laughing while Kiba frowned, then sniffed the air. "But you smell…" sniff, sniff. "Like a girl."

Naruto glared long and hard, careful not to release any killing intent. "Are you implying something?"

Kiba shook his head quickly. "No, of course not."

"Alright, Naruto, you go sit next to Ino. Ino, raise your hand."

Said blonde girl raised her hand, Naruto walked to sit next to her.

"Alright, kids. Take out your History textbook. We're learning about ancient religious beliefs today. Ino, share your book with Naruto."

"Hai." She answered and placed the book on her left so Naruto could read it as well.

Naruto scanned the page and covered his face with his left hand. A sadistic smirk came onto his face. Bunch of rubbish… who published these blasphemous contents? They didn't even get the deities' names right. He thought.

Indeed, they spelled Astraea Astrea and Aphrodite Afrodight, and that was only the A's.

As Iruka started explaining the roles of the gods and their personalities in detail, Naruto starts to drift off.

"Naruto."

The sound of his name brought him back to reality. He opened his eyes and noticed everyone in the room looking at him intently. "Hmm?" He questioned.

"I asked you what you think Astrea's role was."

Naruto seethed on the inside. He pronounced her name wrong! Wait… what did he mean what I think… isn't it on the book? He took a glance at the book and raised an eyebrow. Of the dozens of gods and goddesses listed, more than a quarter had no information on them except their names, and even these were misspelled.

"She was the Supreme Goddess amongst the ancient gods. Her role was to deliver justice and cleanse injustice." He replied. "And her name is pronounced Astraea, not Astrea." He added with a hint of impatience.

"Naruto, according to the textbook-"Iruka started his lecturing…

Only to be cut off. "It doesn't matter what the textbook said, Iruka-sensei. I used to worship her." And now I am her… to a certain degree… "So I think I can be the judge of that." He failed to mention that they were looking at the goddess's body right now.

Iruka looked on dumbly as Naruto buried his head in his hair again.

Satia… I miss you…

Ino looked at the boy sitting beside her. Wow, he used to worship a goddess? Is that why his skin and hair is so… perfect? Maybe I should choose a deity to worship as well! She scanned the book and instantly found one. Afrodight, the goddess of love, ha!

Nami no Kuni:

Kaiza, a new arrival at the small town, is a fisherman that fish for a living. And today, he brought back three bodies who wore the Iwa symbol on their body. He found them floating on a few pieces of wood, unconscious. And he being the person he is, brought them back nonetheless.

He opened the door that lead to the house that he's currently living in along with its original occupants: an architect called Tazuna, his daughter Tsunami, and his daughter's son Inari. They were a friendly bunch, and the brat treated him like a father. Tsunami just treated him like any friend would. And the old man treated him like a son.

"Tazuna, you in there?"

"Yeah I'm here." A voice came from the inside, poking his head out from behind a door. "Oh, so it's you Kaiza. Need a hand with anything?"

"Yeah, that'd be great. I found three people today in the sea so I came back early." He explained.

The old man put on his sandals and walked outside with him. "Ha ha, very funny Kaiza." He looked at the three bodies on the wagon. "Or not…"

"I think they're shinobis from Iwagakure after seeing their headbands." The fisherman said, unloading a black haired one from the wagon. Tazuna got over his shock quickly and unloaded an old man. And together they dragged the chubby one off roughly since he was so heavy.

"What could Iwa nins be doing here at sea?" Tazuna asked.

Kaiza shrugged. "Hell if I know. But lives are always worth saving. Let's get them some water first."

Tazuna nodded. "Tsunami! Get some food going!" He yelled to the inside of the house.

A muffled "Hai" later, the two men half carried half dragged the three unconscious shinobis inside.

It would be a while before they woke up.

Konohagakure:

Naruto followed the students to the practice dummies. There's a test to see if the students had done their homework, which consisted of throwing multiple shurikens at the same time at a training dummy.

He looked at a random boy wearing a scarf throw the projectiles and couldn't help but snicker as the shurikens went way off-mark and into the bush behind the dummy.

Iruka glanced at Naruto briefly and frowned as he heard a quiet snicker coming from him. The boy needs to learn some manners… Of course, a part of him just wanted to make him look bad for what happened in class. "Naruto, since you're new here, why don't you give it a try?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow as the line of students parted for him to walk through. Standing in the front was a boy with black eyes and hair that looked emotionless. Che, he looks like a wanna-be Itachi. Actually, didn't Itachi have a little brother? I think it was Sasuke, or was it Sasu-gay? He snickered at his own pun and held his hand out to his sensei.

Iruka looked at Naruto's outstretched hand weirdly, not knowing what he wanted. "Yes?"

Naruto rolled his eyes, as if on command, the shuriken pouch the instructor carried flew to his hand. "Isn't it obvious? I didn't have any shurikens with me, so I'll have to borrow yours."

Everyone's eyes widened in shock with a similar thought running through their heads. How did he do that?

Naruto flipped the pouch open and threw all its contents to the ground, making them clatter as they fell onto the hard earth. He clicked his finger. The weapons rose from the ground and into the air, hovering there for a second before being imbued with a layer of wind chakra on the tip. As he clicked another finger, the shurikens along with some kunais flew into the dummy and broke through it, leaving massive gashes and holes on the wooden pole. A third click sounded and the weapons returned neatly to the pouch, which attached itself back onto Iruka's hip as soon as the lid closed.

"There, happy?" He questioned, ignoring the jaws on the floor.

"Uh…" Iruka said in his stupor, pointing a finger at the dummy that had just fallen to the ground from having too many of its parts removed.

Naruto swiped some loose strands of hair from his eyes and inspected the wooden pole while making the biggest understatement of the day. "Che, looks like it broke." I guess it's my responsibility… far out… With an annoyed expression on his face, he bent and slammed a palm onto the earth. A new post completed with a red bull's eye rose from the ground in an instant, replacing the old broken pieces.

"M… moku-ton?" Iruka stuttered out, staring at the new post that mysteriously appeared out of the ground.

"Iruka-sensei, may I be excused from the class? It seems like someone's waiting for me."

The instructor turned around just in time to see a swirl of leaves with an ANBU in it.

Sasuke's eyes widened at the sudden appearance of the ANBU and shouted happily mentally. Nii-san! Then to his surprise, his brother bowed to Naruto before turning to Iruka. Just who is that girly looking guy? He thought with awe and a bit of jealousy in his mind.

"Iruka-san, I'd like to borrow Sylphill Naruto from this class. Is that acceptable?"

As the chunin nodded, he placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder and disappeared via a swirl of leaves.

They appeared in the Hokage's office a second later.

The old man regarded them for a second and nodded.

The door opened as Yuugao came in with a certain book in her hands.

"It's about this boo-"

He was never allowed to finish as Naruto's eyes turned red and wrenched the book from the ANBU's hands. "Who else has touched this book?" He demanded.

"No one else other than Yuugao herself." The Sandaime replied instantly.

Naruto let out a sigh of relief, his eyes turned blue again as well. "Good. This book is contagious. It can give unimaginable power to anyone that reads it. But without someone like me nearby, that power can take over your mind. Did you open the book?"

Yuugao nodded. "There wasn't anything in it."

Naruto waved a hand dismissively. "You wouldn't be able to see anything anyways, only ones with the Rin'negan can read it. But that doesn't matter right now, how many pages did you flip through?"

She hesitated. "Uh… I think I went through every page just to be safe…"

The redhead's eyes widened. "You did WHAT!" He yelled. "How long has it been?"

"About half an hour or so."

Naruto clawed his head. "Shit…" He muttered with his eyes closed. No choice then… that's another secret revealed… He eyes opened once again with spiral-like patterns in them.

Hiruzen's eyes widened, but he didn't ask any questions. Yuugao's life is apparently at stake here, and he was the one to send her on that mission…

Silence reigned the moments until Naruto closed the book and stood in front of Yuugao. "Don't move a muscle."

She nodded.

An unbelievable amount of chakra flooded the three shinobis' senses as a dull blue glow wrapped itself around the redhead. Hell it was probably more chakra than Kyuubi itself had. Naruto opened his eyes again to reveal the sapphire orbs. His face was scrunched up in concentration. "Purify!" He shouted.

The insane amount of chakra flowed from his body to Yuugao's in a matter of a second.

The purple haired ANBU had to stop herself from bending over from exertion as the process is done. The chakra was quickly taking over her main chakra circuit and cleansing out the impurities.

When the process finished her ANBU mask broke apart. Hiruzen and Itachi stared in amazement as a new one formed in the original one's place.

"Naruto what did you-" Hiruzen turned his head to regard the boy only to see him kneeling on the floor, panting.

The eight year old was slowly increasing in height and size. His hair was lengthening and turning into darker shade of red, like crimson blood. His eyes took on the hair color, red. The white shirt and black pants morphed into pieces of silver plating on top his green swordsman garbs. His sword appeared at his waist once again.

"Naruto?"

The boy… no, man raised his head. His red eyes met with those of the Hokage. When he spoke, it was a deeper and more mature voice, charming and strong at the same time. "Don't worry yourself old man. I'm still Naruto… just used up a little too much mana for cleansing out the impurities in her body." He glared at the book that's on the ground. "I'll have to take care of that before someone else gets their hands on it. My current energy level isn't high enough to stay in keep that form anymore…"

"You know, I think I want a full explanation on whatever the fuck is going on with you and what you did." The Sandaime said, crossing his arms and staring right at the now purple-haired man.

"Yeah, me too." Itachi added.

Naruto considered for a moment. "Fine, but you have to swear never to repeat, summarize or pass what I'm about to tell you to anyone, gods or men, mortals or immortals." He said, taking out a contract and signing his name at the bottom. "Sign your names."

The three readily agreed and wrote their names below his.

Naruto placed a few silence seals and created a kage bunshin to wait outside as he started his tale. "I want no interruptions what so ever when I talk, understood?"

At the three's nods, he took a deep breath and started.

"Well, my story began before the nine tailed beasts came into existence. I was a warrior that inherited my father's swordsmanship and my mother's magician skills. You see, thousands of years ago, there were ten ancient gods on this continent. I… well, fell in love with one, like she did me. There were a couple of years of peace and happiness before the other nine deities tracked us down. I nearly died then.

"But she took my soul into her own body and sealed her own away somewhere in this body. I unsealed the Juubi and incapacitated the nine gods and goddesses after realizing what they did to me and her. I fell asleep after the battle and the Juubi guarded my body. However, my son… yes, she and I had a child… sealed the Juubi into his own body after he grew up because he thought it was the Juubi that took me away from him. Of course, his seal wasn't strong enough to hold back 100% of the Juubi's power and small amounts of knowledge and power flooded into his own body."

At the surprised looks on their faces, he stopped for a moment and smiled with pride. "Yes, he later became known as the Rikudou Sennin. Near his death, he split the Juubi into nine parts and that was how the nine Bijuus came into existence. Centuries after, I was born. Yeah, it's kind of hard to understand, but just keep on listening. So anyways, I was born. And wasn't treated like a hero my father wanted me to be known as. It was during a particular incident that a remnant of her came and cared for me. Yes, her. She told me of my abilities and the prophecy before…"

He stopped. All three of the others' eyes widened.

"… they killed her." He stopped a tear that threatened to spill. "I tortured them to death with a Mangekyo Sharingan technique called Tsukuyomi and let's just leave that part. So, two years later, the prophecy was starting to come true. I felt… me waking up somewhere in Tsuchi. And after you persisted for Itachi-san to come along, I left with him to the ruins there. I battled the Tsuchikage and his followers. I teleported the Tsuchikage somewhere unknown with a technique called Kamui and fused with myself to become the person I am now. After that, we took care of the reinforcements and came straight back.

"My memories have all returned in the span of the last two days. So all in all, my old self and my current self are all in her body with her soul sealed somewhere in the body. I can level this whole continent in a second when I'm in my top condition. And I still have enough strength to wipe out half of the continent after using the chakra to remove the contamination in Yuugao-san's body. However, I can't go back to my eight year old self again anytime soon. And I'm still looking for a way to go into my mind. That's it. Got anything to ask?"

Exactly five minutes past.

"I see." The Sandaime said, lighting his pipe.

"…"

"I've got a question." Yuugao said.

"Shoot."

"What would happen if you didn't purify the contamination in me?"

"Good question. You would have been driven mad and start destroying all that's important to you. The harder you fight it, the more you would want to destroy."

"Oh…"

"Yeah, so now you know why I was in such a rush to get you fixed." He added the last part with a wink.

Yuuugao blushed behind her mask and asked. "And how would you get all the chakra you used back?"

"Well, there's a few ways I can think of. The first is to go on a killing spree, which helps collect energy; the second is just to wait for a few weeks; the third… however…"

"However?"

"Is to have sex with women, you don't happen to fall into that category do you?" Naruto asked with a teasing smirk.

Yuugao blushed harder under her mask, her mind already having strange fantasies about the closest being to perfection on the continent. No no, you've already got Hayate. Bad girl Yuugao… But still, even she admits that Hayate wasn't really good in bed, she had to take care of herself almost every time after they did it. And he said women instead of woman… must be skilled… She slapped herself mentally and opted for a mutter. "Sorry…"

Naruto chuckled at her expense. "Don't worry about it. I need her permission first anyways. And I have yet to see her again…" His voice drifted off in sadness.

"Naruto, you say that you haven't made contact with her yet no matter how hard you tried?" Hiruzen asked.

Naruto nodded.

"Well, I heard that the first time a Jinchuuriki meets his/her tenant is when they ask for their chakra."

Naruto's eyes widened in hope and disappeared straight away with a "thanks, old man", leaving the three alone in the office.

"So, want to go get wasted?" Yuugao asked, still a little red behind the mask.

"Yes, let's." Itachi responded and shunshined out along with her.

Hiruzen took a deep breath and took out the hidden sake bottle under his desk. I haven't drank any in ages… this is probably the best chance I'll get. He popped the top and took a gulp. "Ha! Sake is good!"

Chapter 4 END

Like, dislike? Tell me what you think, please. (puppy eye no jutsu)

P.S. Ino's appearance didn't really mean anything in the chapter.

Anyways, reviews?
