Yo, what's up? Blaze and Twilight here for another chapter of Persona: New Era. The time skip skips the D-rank missions and starts off with the Wave Arc. Enjoy! Also, for all of you loyal Persona fans, heres a special treat for you! *winks*


Disclamier: I do not own Naruto or Persona series and/or The SMT series. If I did, Persona 5 would already be out and I would make a second Anime series for Persona. (There is an actually anime series for it. It is called Persona Trinity Soul)

Human speak: "Persona!!!"

Human think: 'I like chocolate milk.'

Persona spells/ Jutsu: "Mazandyne!" "Fire style: Fire ball jutsu!"

Persona Talk: "Thou art thy and I am thou."


Time Skip: Mission briefing room

"So, you think your team is quilified for a C-Ranked mission?" The old Hokage asked Yuzu as she applies her team for a C-Rank mission.

"Yes Hokage-sama. I believe that My team is more than capable of handling a C-Rank mission. Reason being is that even though they only graduated three weeks ago, they showed more promise than the other teams." Yuzu praised her team in high regards. Sasuke and Sakura was fully backing this idea. Naruto though.... lets just say he wants more action than a "lowly C-Rank" on his plate. However, he didn't voice it out.

The Hokage sighed and took a long wift of his pipe he was smoking before he answered. "Fine on one condition." Yuzu smirked "Name it." "A Anbu of my choice will accompany you on your mission and evaluate your team's skills." Yuzu blinked a few times. She decided to discuss it with the team. "So, what do you wanna do?" She asked.

"Take it." All three answered at the same time. "Ok we will take it. Who's gonna be the Anbu?" Yuzu asked the Hokage. The old man smirked and said "bring in Death."

A moment later, the door was kicked open and in walked a man. He wore a brown trench coat and a mask that was basicaly a skull, which freaked a few people in the room out. He looked at Naruto and gasped. Through his eyes, he saw a face from his past next to Naruto. 'Minato Arisato?' the man thought. 'The similarity is unmissable. Could he be an reicarnation like I was?' The man kept looking at Naruto, which put him on edge.

"You may take off your mask and reveal your name." Sarutobi said. The man took his mask off, revealing a man with some facial hair and a bored look, which was far from it as he kept comparing the boy named Minato Arisato with Naruto Uzumaki.

"Name's Shijiro Aragaki. Don't disappoint me, but then again you kids still look fresh from the Academy." The man revealed as Shijiro said in a laid back, but stern voice.

"Yes sir!" Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura said at the same time, showing respect for the higher up. "I told you it's Shijiro! Not 'sir'! Got it?!" Shijiro glared at the three genin. All three of them gulped.

"Yes Shijiro-sempai." They said with no ethusiasm at all. "That's better. I don't like being called sir. Gives me a baaaaaaad feeling. And I get angry if I get bad feelings from freshies like you kids." Shinjiro smiled at the look of intimidation on the three genin.

"I would like it if you stopped intimidating my students." Yuzu glared at Shinjiro. "Yeah yeah. Understandable, but debatable." Shinjiro smirked as still looked apon the team he was gonna supervise.

"Anyways, who is our client?" Yuzu asked the Hokage. "His name is Tazuna, your destination is the Land of Waves."

Time Skip: Village Gate

"You really need to lay off the sake old man." Naruto said as he stared at Tazuna with a blank stare. Tazuna just waved Naruto off and downed the rest of his sake while they waited for the rest of the team with Shinjiro. Any normal Persona user would know that all they need for trips is a few clothes and their chosen weapon..... Which would probably explain why there was a big axe on Shinjiro's back.

"So anyways Shinjiro-sempai, your an axe wielder? I thought you were gonna be the staff type." Naruto started a conversation with Shinjiro while they waited. "Yeah, I get that alot. Anyway's, I became an axe wielder because that was what fitted my Persona best. He's the heavy hitter, if ya know what I mean kid." Shinjiro explained to Naruto.

"Ah, I only use swords, because my Persona came with his own sword and sword style. Oh and can you show me your Persona? I will show you mine." Naruto said and asked, just to quench his curiousity of Persona users.

"Nah. I think we should keep our Personas to ourselves until during the mission. After all; gotta make my hits count. That is including messing with brats like you and your teammates." Shinjiro laughed to himself as he saw the disapponted look Naruto had.

"Sorry we are late, had to get the other students their fitted weapons." Yuzu spoke as she and the other members of the squad walked up to the three waiting men.

Sasuke now had a normal katana straped to his waist while Sakura had a rapier straped to her waist. "So you finally have your weapons? Took ya long enough after all that training." Naruto smirked as he saw Sasuke and Sakura glare at Naruto.

"Anyways, lets head off now." Shinjiro and Yuzu agreed together at the same time. Team 7, Shinjiro, and their client left.

Time skip: Forest

The group that left Konoha some time ago walked by a suspicious looking puddle. Sasuke and Sakura paid no mind to it along with their client. Naruto, Yuzu, and Shinjiro on the other hand, prepaired their weapons for an attack.

Suddenly, two cloaked ninjas jumped out of the puddle and tried to strike out Shinjiro, but were blown away by a gust of wind, thanks to Naruto and Abel as he floated above Naruto, prepairing to strike again.

"So that's your Persona. Interesting kid, but watch this!" Shinjiro spoke as he was holding his ax with his right hand and his other in his pocket.

"Persona!" Shinjiro shouts as he swings his axe. Castor, Shinjiro's Persona, appeared and rammed into the two identical ninja. Castor looked like a man in armor with yellow hair riding a unicorn that was black with no legs.

"Woah! When you meant heavy hitter, you really meant it!" Naruto gazed with awe as he looked at Shinjiro's Persona with great interest.

"Yup, now lets get cooking. I want some info and I want it now!" SHinjiro unleash a huge amount of KI apon the attackers.

Some time later, they got all they needed from both the attackers and the client. Appearently Wave was under siege by a ruthless dictator and drug lord named Gatou of Gatou Shiping indestries. He took over Wave some time ago and has been bleeding the people dry ever since.

"They've given up hope. He butchered anyone who was brave enough to even curse his name. I am the only thing standing in his way. If I die, so does my village!" Tazuna begged then ninja of Konoha to help him.

"So what now?" Sakura asked them. Yuzu, Sasuke, and Shinjiro didn't have a answer.

But as for Naruto........

"What do you mean? Isn't obvious?" Naruto said. "I ain't backin down' yo! I'm not leaving these people for dead. 'Live to protect and save' that was what 'he' always told me as I took his teachings to heart! I say we go!" Sasuke and Yuzu nodded in agreement. Sakura wiped a tear then nodded. Shinjiro just smirked.

'Just like Minato incarnate. A natural born leader.' Shinjiro laughed to himself about that thought. 'But he's never quiet like you.'

'Thank you...' Tazuna sighed in relief. "You heard him, lets move out team!" Yuzu ordered her genin disciples. The client and the Konoha-Shinobi started their way again.

Time Skip: Forest, night time.

The group decided to take a break and rest for the evening. The group decided that Yuzu will take watch first, then Sasuke and Sakura, then Shinjiro and finally Naruto. Hearing this, Naruto instantly went to sleep.

However, he didn't have a normal dream. Hell, it probably wasn't a dream at all.

"Hello?" Naruto yelled out. He was stuck in a forest, alone. He saw someone runing at him, who looked like an older verson of him.

"Hey Abel! You ok? Why did you run away like that?" The man asked. "Sorry Cain, but I was told by god that I had to come out here." Naruto responded without control.

Cain's eyes darken with anger. "It's god this and god that! Always I hear about this god from you! He wouldn't even look at me! What is so great about a man who can't even watch over all of his own creations? Perfect deity my ass!" Cain yelled.

"Cain? Your scaring me! Plus you aren't supose to curse! God said-" Naruto spoke without control again, but was interupted by Cain. "I don't care! God wants blood eh?! I WILL GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS! I WILL GIVE HIM A LOT OF IT!" Cain yelled out. Cain then picked up a rock and was about to smash it in Naruto's face, but Naruto blacked out before that.

"Naruto. It's your shift." Shinjiro spoke as he woke up Naruto. Naruto got up and shaked his head. Breathing in and out slowly to process what he has seen.

"You ok kid? Bad dreams?" Shinjiro asked as he looked at Naruto, concerned.

"I will be all right. Get some sleep, I will take over in a few minutes." Naruto replied as he got up and dressed in a new set of clothing that he brought along.

He Now wore a black long-sleaved mesh shirt, showing off his well toned body. He also had black cargo pants that were tucked into his boots, completed with a belt that was completely black except for the belt buckle that was silver and shapped like a fox head. He also had black fingerless gloves that had holes around the knuckle parts. He put his sword on his left hip and walked out of his tent.

In another location

"Hey! Your men failed to complete the end of the deal! How are you gonna compensate for this? I told you I want that old man's head on a fucking stick soon or no pay!" A snobby looking man yelled at another man who was sitting on a couch. In a swift movement, he brought a huge Zanbatou to the snobby man's neck.

"I told you that I will get the job done. My men's failure is a minor set back that I will take care of myself. Just prepare the money!" The man said. He had his lower half of his face covered in bandages. Spicky hair that was brown and his hitai-ate (finally know's how to spell it right.) was that of the Village Hidden in the Mist and was put on side-ways. He wore camo-pants and shinobi editoned sandals.

"You better hold your word!" The snobby man snarled and then left the room. From the shadows, a girl the age of 13 walked out and spoke "Do you think we should trust that man Zabuza-sama? I see betrayal in his eyes." The girl spoke. "For now yes. Let's go pay our target a visit Haku." Zabuza answered the girl named Haku.

"hai... Zabuza-sama." Haku replied.

OMAKE: What two fanfiction brothers do in their spare time PART 2.

Blaze was walking to the park with Twilight when he saw a girl. Not just any girl, his crush Alyssa. Twilight saw her and then looked at Blaze and snickered.

"Hey bro, gonna ask her out yet?" Twilight laughed as he saw the priceless look that Blaze had.

"Maybe...?" Blaze said quietly. Alyssa was walking towards both Blaze and Twilight slowly.

'Oh god! Oh god! oh god!' Blaze was currently praying not to embarass himself infront of his crush. She was a thing of beauty to the poor Author.

Alyssa walked up to Blaze, stareing at him for awhile. She then said "Blaze I- BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"

Blaze awoke to the sound of his alarm clock. "Damn it was a dream." Blaze sighed. "Well might as well see if anyone is interested in my Challenge." Blaze walked to his desk and checked his email. "Oh whats this?" Blaze clicked on an unkown, unopened, message.

"Look out your window if you want to have an adventure?" Blaze followed the instruction. He saw something unbelieveable. He saw..... A mountain completely made out of candy. "CANDY MOUNTAIN!!!!" Blaze ran straight to candy mountain.
When Blaze arrived, he saw Twilight on the ground. "R-run! They took my kidney." Twilight warned Blaze.

It was to late for Minato Arisato was there with a evil grin and a knife. "No! I'm sorry you had to die, but don't take my kidney!" Blaze begged. He then heard laughing. Twilight and Minato was laughing. "Oh that look was priceless." Both Minato and Twilight agreed.

Blaze was getting angry, and you wouldn't like him when he is angry. "PERSONA!" Blaze yelled as a Persona that looked like a metalic angel appeared and vaporized both Twilight and Minato.

Twilght: HEY! Why did I die?!

Blaze: Because you have no life! Thats why!

Twilight: You don't have a life either!

Blaze: That's beside the point!
