Naruto sat up in his bed and yawned, last night had been long... long, hard, sweaty, and rough. Nova had already left for work an hour or two earlier but not before telling him to come by and 'see' her whenever he was up to it.
Throwing the covers off of him, Naruto grabbed his dark blue pants and gray boxers then slid them on before walking a few feet into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and looked at the selection before him, "Hmm," he exclaimed while picking out a bottle of fresh water, a NukaCola, a can of Pork N' Beans and box with the words 'Salisbury Steak' on it and 'Just add water'.
With the breakfast/lunch in arm, Naruto went back into the living room only to find himself lacking a dinner table.
"Well aint this some bullshit," he exclaimed before placing all the food onto the top of the shelf and picking up his duffle bag, "I hope I still got the scroll with that salvaged fold out table and chair," he said speaking to himself.
Luck was on his side and soon he was moving the locker beside his front door across the room beside the other one and was placing his table there.
Fetching his soon to be meal, Naruto tore the packaging open and set it to the side, before rooting threw his bag for an old oil lantern that he put together using his survival skills that he'd developed during his childhood. Finding it, he set the small lamp up and lit it using a small fire jutsu that caught the thick rope that was soaked in the oil aflame.
After a minute his can of beans was warming over the flame and he was pouring water on his steak and giving it a test bite. He shrugged, it wasn't great... probably tasted a lot better with the gravy and all heated but considering the difficulty heating plastic without it melting....
Naruto found that he thought best while eating his meals, the only time where you really only had one thing to think about, FOOD. He needed to leave Demonspire soon, not for good but he wanted to travel around and was glad to know that he had a home waiting for him here. Maybe he would go see that Three-Dog person and find out what was really going on around there. But to do that he would need to go through the DZ area, or the Death Zone as most called it, a place crawling with Super Mutants waiting to tear you apart and eat your mutilated remains.
Naruto popped off the cap to his NukaCola and dropped it onto the table before taking a swig of it, savoring the taste. NukaCola had only come out a few years after he was born and nearly every store had a machine or sold it, he himself had drunk it with his ramen everyday he could and kept the caps for years. If he remembered correctly, he had left around a 800 of them in a metal case that the third had given him somewhere in his old apartment building. Oh well, some poor scavenger would find one hell of a payday if they found it.
The smell of cooked beans reached his nose and Naruto pulled the can off the fire, using conveniently placed rag to keep from burning himself, then digging in.
Now that he thought about it, he remembered seeing a unpowered NukaCola machine in Moira's shop, the thing worked on extremely powerful batteries that lasted years and if he was lucky, his elemental chakra might be able to power it up again. If he could them he would be able to enjoy nice cold NukaCola whenever he wanted.
Finishing his food and drink, Naruto threw on his clothes and coat before picking out a gun for the day, a 10mm pistol then walking towards the door only to pause and take the bottle cap from the table.

"Sarah, my daughter. I have an urgent mission for you,"
A young blonde woman dressed in a heavy looking set of full body armor walked up to the older man and nodded, "Yes father?"
The elderly man, Owyn Lyons looked at his child, "Our Knights at GNR have heard that there is a person capable of handling large amounts of radiation exposure," he said while fixing the collar of his blue leather trench coat.
"Amazing!" Sarah said with a shocked face.
"Indeed, but it troubles me."
Sarah gave him a concerned look, "What does father?"
Elder Lyons looked to her, "No mere human, chakra user or not, should be able to handle the demonic radiation. I fear that he may be a demon himself, slowly gaining power by absorbing the radiation so that he can take over and cause more destruction." he told her with a look of dread.
Sarah nearly gasped at the thought, "What do you wish for me to do?"
"Hunt this person down and if he proves to be a demon hiding in human form... destroy it." Elder Lyons told her, "Take the rest of the pride with you if need be and be careful."

Naruto walked down the road to the center of town after buying everything Moria had in stock for his house, including a medical station, laboratory work station, that drink machine, a work bench, and a working Jukebox. Moria was shocked to find that not only was he able to buy it all but he didn't even seem to mind the large price tag at all. (Then she remembered her 'Wasteland Survival Guide' and asked Naruto to help with the research, which he agreed with nothing better to do)
"I'm sorry dear but you don't have enough for that," he heard a woman say.
Looking over, he saw a little girl with short black hair held up with a pink headband dressed in an old beat-up white jacket with pink sleeves and blue pants.
The little girl looked sad, "But that's all I have and I love those noodles, please?" she asked sadly.
From the looks of things it seemed that the little girl wanted to buy some bowl of cooked noodles but didn't have enough caps. The woman behind the counter had a small sad frown on her face but couldn't give the girl a break or else others would expect reduced prices.
"Please Ms. Stahl?" the girl begged, " I know I don't have enough but I can clean up or something to pay you back."
Naruto was about to just walk away and ignore the poor girl but froze, memories of him saying the exact same thing to the ramen stand owner assaulting his mind.
"Damn it," he muttered to himself. He knew exactly how the girl felt, to be poor and unable to buy something you loved. For every cold blooded murder he committed, the feelings he got then couldn't begin to compare to the amount of pity he felt now.
Reaching into his pocket, Naruto felt for some of the loose caps he had from his shopping trip at Moira's and walked over, "Miss?"
The woman, a brown haired woman wearing a yellow version of the jumpsuit Moria had looked over, "Yes sir, how can I help you?"
Naruto motioned to the girl and walked to stand beside her, "I'll pay for her meal," he said while pulling out a few caps.
Both girls looked at him with surprised faces, "A-alright sir, if your sure," the woman answered.
Naruto nodded, "I'm sure,"
After paying for the girls meal, Naruto reached into his pocket and felt the lone cap. Thinking about it for a minute he pulled it out and placed it on the counter by the young girls hand before walking away.
"Hey mister, you left this," the girl called out.
Naruto waved it off, "Keep it," he called never looking back, "Maybe it'll give you good luck,"
He kept on walking and passed Lucas Simms who watched the whole thing while leaning up against a corner of a building.
"That was nice of you to do partner," he said as Naruto passed, making him stop.
Naruto glanced back, "What was?"
Lucas shook his head, "You know what I'm talking about, paying for Maggies meal."
"So what?"
Lucas crossed his arms, "Billy Creel's been having a hard time, he does all he can to make sure Maggie has a nice childhood, playing with her when ever he can, buying her whatever she wants if he can. Sometimes he has to leave and go scavenging and gets either Lucy West or Mother Maya to take care of her while he's gone,"
Naruto was silent for a while, "And you telling me this... why?"
Lucas shrugged, "I don't know... maybe just to pass the time, she's been lonely and depressed ever since he left, he should be back soon... But I want to know, why did you pay for her food?"
Naruto looked up to the cloudy sky, "I don't know, maybe pity, maybe because I know how she felt... maybe I was in the same position as her when I was her age," he said before looking down, "Have a nice day Sheriff,"

Naruto walked into his home and began to secure the place, using seals to lock the place up and keep his stuff safe from any would-be thief's. Everything from the lockers, the fridge, and even the door was sealed. (On his way out)
The first thing he needed was to travel west towards an old supermarket by the river to see if there was any supplies left there at all, then travel across the river and go north towards a minefield to try to get through... well without dying a horrible death by having his legs blown off in separated directions. Not only did Moria expect him to traverse said mine field but the girl also wanted a frag mine of her own, god only knew what she planned to do with it.
Locking the door, Naruto left his house and made his way out of the town before taking his goggles and placing them over his eyes then dashing off towards the supermarket.
Running on the dirt roads made quite the dust trail, it stretched for at least a few hundred feet behind him. This was the best way to burn chakra without destroying things, channeling his excess energy and chakra all over his body and running flat out. He had done it so much that he had figured that he could run flat out with chakra for 30 to 40 miles before a bead of sweat would run down his forehead depending on how he felt and that he could run for 10 to 15 without chakra before his hands started shaking. But to run with his chakra he had to channel it to his ears, nose, and eyes to help them keep up with the extra speed as not to just plow into one of the few trees or trip on a rock.
His senses picked up a scream, sliding to a stop he jogged over the next hill, which turned out to have a steep, cliff-like drop, to see that he was now a few hundred yards from the rear of the market where he saw that the raiders had set up shop. After all, it had all the symptoms of a raider infestation, blood on the walls, bodies hanging on hooks from chains, tortured bodies tied to rocks or nailed to walls.
Around the corner a pair of wastlanders ran screaming, one was a ragged looking man following after a woman with cream colored hair. Both screamed as a group of laughing raiders chased after them holding bats, knives, and one holding a earlier model of the revolver.
A gunshot echoed and the man was sent to the ground, a bullet wound in the back of his head. The girl seemed to run even faster, as if the man had been weighing her down before and his death had helped her realize that she needed to run faster. He could hear her ragged breathing and see her flushed face, if she were to be captured by the raiders her death was almost certain, that was, if they didn't decide to rape her first.
Drawing the 10mm pistol, Naruto stepped off the side of the steep hill and slid down while aiming his pistol, firing at the raiders. Two suffered quick deaths from the bullets hitting vital areas while another had a bullet lodge itself in his throat, forcing a slow and painful death upon him as he choke on his own blood.
As three of the raiders were downed, the rest finally wised up and realized that they were being attacked as well. They all turned towards their attacker and was surprised to see a single person standing at the base of a hill, calmly loading his pistol.
"Get 'em," one yelled, forgetting the girl and charging the man with the others following.
Naruto smirked and holstered the gun before popping his neck and rolling his shoulders. The one who yelled reached him first, swinging his bat at Naruto who sidestepped and buried his fist into the raiders gut before stealing the weapon.
The girl slowed to a stop and hid behind a dumpster, peeking out and watching with astonished eyes as the blonde bashed another raiders head open with the bat, sending blood and greymatter flying into the air.
"DIE BASTERD!" a female raider yelled pulling out a switchblade and stabbing at the blonde, somehow getting behind him.
Naruto turned and grabbed her hand, stopping the blade a foot from his body, "Foolish little girl," he spoke with a smirk.
The female raider never saw his fist until a secound before it impacted with her skull and blacked out before she met the stone wall of the supermarket with a thump and fell to the broken cement ground where Naruto threw her, impelling herself on her own switchblade as she landed.
The last raider shook as Naruto turned his sights on him, the revolver in his hands shook because of the fear he felt.
"P-p-please let me go, I... I promise to straighten out my life, just please don't kill me," He choked out as Naruto stepped closer.
"Ok,"
The raider froze, "Really?"
Naruto nodded, "Sure, go on and leave,"
"Promise?"
Naruto gave him a smile and nodded. The girl was shocked, he was about to let that raider live? The one who had wanted to rape her and sell her as a slave, the thought infuriated her. Her anger instantly disappeared as she saw the raider turn to leave and the blonde pull his pistol.
The raiders head jerked forward as the gunshot echoed across the barren wasteland, only a secound passed as both the shell casing and the body hit the ground at the same time.
"Opps..." Naruto started with a toothy grin and holding up his crossed fingers, "Had my fingers crossed,"
Naruto holstered the pistol and walked over to pick up the dead raiders revolver. Uncocking the handle and putting the safety on he turned towards the woman and walked over.
"Will you live?" he asked as he found the older woman pressed up against the wall.
She looked up to him and nodded, "Yea I reckon, thanks for saving me kid, the names Silver," she told him while standing up, "If it wasn't for you, those raiders would've made me their plaything,"
"It's nothing," he intoned before holding the revolver out to her, "Here, take this and whatever you want from the bodies, you'll need them more than me or them,"
Silver was slightly surprised but wouldn't decline his offer, "Well thanks kid, I really appreciate that... You like the first guy to ever give a damn about my needs,"
"Naruto,"
"Huh?"
Naruto gave her a firm stare, "My name's Naruto, not kid and don't mention it, considering how the world is these days... Well have a day Sliver," Naruto turned and started walking around to the front of the store.
"Hey, if you ever need a place to stay I live in one of the boarded up ranch houses a ways away from Demonspire, come and drop in sometime." Silver called as he left.
Naruto waved over his shoulder and disappeared around the corner of the building.

The ninja trekked through the desert-like terrain, had the heat gone up like it did during the dead of summer it could've been confused with the desserts around Suna. The trip was spent mostly in silence but every once in a while someone would start a small conversation. They were near the ruins of Konoha's main gate now, close to where Naruto's old apartment use to be.
"Hey look!" Sakura stated, pointing at the ruined building that was in better shape then most.
Everyone looked.
"Hey... that's Naruto's old place," Hinata stated looking at the building she had watched daily.
A low growl reached them and Akamaru started growling back with the hair on his back raised.
"What is it?" Ino asked while everyone else got ready for a fight.
Out of the dark ruins stepped a hulking reptile-like monster around ten feet tall with sharp claws and a pair or curved horns on its head. It's claws were around six or seven inches long and its eyes were a dull yellow.
"My god!?" Ino gasped watching as it flexed it's claws and growled before running at them.
A loud bang echoed, and the monster was knocked off balance as something hit it, a bloody hole appear in its chest before another series of bangs sent it to the ground, multiple holes appearing in it's head and chest.
"You folks al'right?"
The group looked over and was a dirty looking man in a thick jacket holding a long weapon made of metal and wood.
Being the leader, Tsunade stepped forward, "Yes we're fine, who are you?"
The man smiled and scratched a scruffy beard. "Well I'm Kenji, I hunt and sell the meat I get to settlements all across the wasteland and to the travelers I meet, would you like something?" he asked motioning to what looked like a mutated cow with two heads.
Tsunade shook her head, "Sorry, we don't have any ryu,"
Kenji blinked, "RYU!?" he asked with a chuckle, "That paper isn't worth anything now-a-days, NukaCola bottle caps are the currency now." he said looking at them.
"Your serious?" Choji asked, being a lover of the drink himself.
Kenji nodded, "Hell yeah, man I've heard a rumor that someone went to the NukaCola main factory and jacked almost the whole supply, how he did it I'll never know, must've had a whole army or wastlanders or a hundred brahman to carry all that. Personally, I think it was the legendary Villain of the Wastes, he was seem working around there and wouldn't pass up a chance to get a lot of free caps."
Choji walked forward, "Tsunade-sama, I need to go look for something right quick, I'll be right back,"
"Hold on, Asuma go with him just in case," she said making the smoker nod and follow his student into the ruins of Naruto's apartment building.
"You hear things?" Tsunade asked, looking back to the hunter.
"Yep," Kenji said proudly, "People usually say things around me when I'm selling my stock in towns, I guess they figured that I really didn't have anyone to tell since I live by myself out in the wastes."
"Then can you tell me if you heard about a man with crystal blue eyes and sun kissed blond hair? His name's Naruto Uzumaki." Tsunade asked.
Kenji looked thoughtful, "Can't saw that I have, I'm real good with names but unless he's done something big that got a lot of attention or talked to me directly, chances are no ones gonna remember exactly what his name is, it'll be, 'A guy from somewhere did this,' or something like that."
The whole group sighed, "Well thanks anyway," Tsunade said
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Choji what are you looking for?" Asuma asked as his student as the boy pushed parts of the collapsed stone ceiling to the side.
"That guy said NukaCola bottle caps were valuable now right?" Choji asked as he moved the last part, exposing a rotten door.
Asuma nodded, "Yeah but why are you trying to get inside this room?"
"Well, both Naruto and I happen to love NukaCola, we used to drink it anytime we could and Naruto would keep the caps in a metal box that he kept in his apartment. I used to give him mine and last time I checked he said that there was a couple hundred in there, I was thinking that we could use them... if they were still there," Choji said, jumping back as the door fell towards him.
Asuma followed Choji into the room and noticed that while the room was ruined, the apartment itself was in ok condition.
Choji reached under the bed and found the box before pulling it out and opening it,
"Woah!" they both stated with wide eyes, that was a lot of bottle caps.

Naruto crept the supermarket door and looked around the corner, the shelves were haphazardly moved around and some had metal grates connecting them like walkways. A few raiders were walking around with guns and swords while some were drinking and laughing with each other. They had to have heard the gunshots but probably thought it was the raiders running after Silver and that wastelander.
Pulling off his coat, Naruto hung it from a piece of rebar jutting out of the wall and bit his thumb before unsealing a (Chinese) assault rifle and pulling the slide back. Under his coat Naruto had on a combat vest with a few extra clips inside the pockets and a belt around his waist with the holster to his pistol and a few other pouches that held his supplies.
Walking into the shopping area, Naruto ran and leaped up to where a raider was walking on top of the shelves and kicked him off, down to where the others where. The other raiders with guns on top of the shelves looked over and aimed their guns while Naruto did the same. Raiders were terrible shots, relying on numbers to really with fights. Naruto however was a good shot, his rifle fired loudly, sending the bullets flying towards the raiders where they ripped into their flesh and knocked them over the edge and to the ground.
Naruto jumped to the ground and walked down the long shelf, dropping the spent clip and switching it with another while any raiders that had guns tried to shoot through the wooden racks where they though he was still standing behind.
"Were gonna kill you you piece of shit," yelled a raider while Naruto made a hand seal to make a team of shadow clones before walking around the rack.
"Oh yeah? You and what army?" he yelled back before the clones jumped to the high shelves, each holding a rifle, "I got mine,"
The raiders were decimated, everyone of them were killed and the few who had fell to their knees and surrendered got the barrel of his rifle shoved in their mouths and had their brains splattered on the wall and floor. Walking around, Naruto had his clones take any ammo, weapons, food they found while he went into the back supply room which had a locked metal door blocking it.
"Ahh," a quite moan echoed.
Walking away from the door and towards the noise, Naruto found a bloody raider crawling on the floor towards a revolver and walked over, stepping on the outstretched hand until the bones popped and crunched making the raider howl in pain.
"You should've just laid there and stayed quite," Naruto told him, bending down and picking the gun up. "You might've lived longer,"
Cocking the hammer back, Naruto aimed it at the raider and pulled the trigger.
-CLICK-
The raider flinched and Naruto looked at the gun with a frown, "Well aint that a bitch?" he asked tossing the gun away and pulling the rifle from his back. He held him down with his foot and open fired, filling the raiders body with lead.
An hour and a half later, Naruto walked into Moira's shop and told her what happened, she nodded happily and wrote it down for her book. After that he left the store, ready to get some peace for the day.

Naruto needs a main weapon so give me some ideas... A Pistol, Revolver, Magnum Revolver, Assault Rifle, or Shotgun
He also needs a secondary weapon. (Melee)
