Sorry it took so long, school has got me busy so much. I will try my best to get the next chapter out, as it is way more exciting than this on was by far. I hope this one isn't awful.
LaxyKid24- Thank you for the well wishes, and I am sorry you could not find a hold in this fic.
radeklegia- Ha! Just you wait. I got things in store.
DocSlendy- (look at comment above)
Harry Morgan Le Fay- Hmm, interesting thing that you noticed here. I can only fault myself for making it seem that way to their being so many characters in this series. I wouldn't call him a third wheel or Reyna weak, just haven't had the chance to show Reyna's strength off that much.
AlphaScribe- No problem. Here's another one
.9- Here is the new chapter...only took a few months...sorry.
Sniperbeattie- New chapter coming at ya.
Nine tails of darkness flame- Hiruzen has been through his fair share of conflict, and has the power to change landscapes at will. He has lived as long as he has because he is good at what he does, and that is kicking ass and taking names. Nobody, god or otherwise, can intimidate him, especially when they may pose a threat to something he holds dear. And Reyna is no one's sloppy seconds or rebound, but I can neither confirm nor deny that he will get together with her. Just gotta wait and see.
Seven half-bloods shall answer the call.
To storm or fire the world must fall.
An oath to keep with a final breath,
And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death….
The Seven shall journey to the land barred to the Gods,
To reveal a prophet as a fraud.
The chosen half-bloods are to stand tall,
And help the ascension or be the reason it falls…
.

Naruto had a really bad feeling churning inside his guts. This quest was already turning out to be unlike any other quest he had been on before, and not in the good way.
First, Hazel got dragged away by 'living cereal', her words exactly, who coincidentally led us to see the army that was marching to Camp led by yet another one of Gaia's children, Polyblotes, met Isis the pacifist rainbow goddess, Frank's spear can apparently spit out a super skeleton, and now they were on their way to find the seer Phineas in Portland being pulled by a whale…
A. WHALE.
From there everything settled down as they traveled. Frank and Hazel had elected, at the same time, to watch first while he and Percy rested a bit. He still didn't know what Percy dreamed about, but when he woke up, he looked shook. Like his mind was firing on all cylinders to interpret what he dreamed about. How he knew this? Well, he was feeling the exact same way after what he had experienced.
Flashback
In his dream he was fighting a cloaked man wearing an orange mask with flames that had a single eye hole. There were chains dangling out of his sleeves, and Naruto could feel the smugness wafting off of the man. His senses stretched outward, and he held in the flinch at the oppressive, hate filled waves that washed over him. They were so heavy, so evil. Almost unstoppable!
But no, something inside him steeled itself, and he knew that he had to stop it. He had an entire village of people counting on him. He had his beautiful wife counting on him. He had his son counting on him.
He had to go through the cause of this horrible night first. His brain calculated the amount of chakra he had left, and came to the conclusion that he couldn't waste anymore with this guy if he wanted to save his village.
He had to finish this here and now.
With the speed that gave him his namesake, he rushed the man responsible for already so many lives lost. His brow set itself. He needed to time this perfectly.
With a quick flick of his wrist, he threw his special kunai at the man, knowing that, in his arrogance in his unique technique, he would not even try to dodge his kunai. With the kunai thrown, he pushed some energy into his hand where his personal technique began to grow
He knew it wasn't anywhere close to being done, having tested it many times, but the damage it did was still more devastating than a Ōdama Rasengan, but it was half the size.
He got closer, and closer to the masked man, the Rasengan grew. Rotation. Power. Containment. Rotation. Power. Containment. Rotation! Power! Containment! The ball of destruction grew and grew, until he was satisfied with it. Then, with razor sharp focus, he let in the wind chakra and the luminous blue sphere turned a shade of green with his ears could literally hear the blades of wind making their way through the pure devastation in his palm. It wasn't the final product, but it would have to do here.
Under his feet he felt the earth shift a bit more from the pure raw power being thrown around in his home. The place he was tasked to protect to his last breath. He knew good men and women were dying trying to protect the citizens and their home as well. He wasn't the best senor, but even he picked up the titanic energy levels of Sarutobi flaring wildly along with several noticeable others that he knew, but they still were dwarfed by the angry malice filled chakra the Kyuubi was exuding. He needed to be there with them on the battlefield, and stop the rampage. They wouldn't be able to hold out for that much longer.
He focused in on his kunai, watching it as the cloaked man's body completely ignored the projectile and warped straight through it. His mind slowed everything down for a moment. The masked man's hands rushed out at him from under the sleeves of his cloak, chains clinking along. Just as his kunai travelled the whole way to the other side of the masked man, he felt for the seal on the handle, found it, and did what he grew infamous for. In a yellow flash he was above the masked man's exposed back. Grabbing the kunai around the hilt, he turned his body downward, and shoved the Wind Style: Rasengan, right into the exposed back of the cloaked man.
The results were terrifying.
The man's body folded inward from the sheer force of the technique, and was throttled into the ground demolishing the earth beneath him, creating a large crater. The explosion of pure wind chakra pulverized everything below it, as the contained chakra was let loose in an awesome fashion. The chakra grew brighter and bright as it became harder and harder to contain until everything became white.
Slowly the white receded from his vision. Now he was in a clearing covered with snow, and surrounding by thick trees that reached into the sky. He looked around: down at the snow, up into the air, through the trees the he was surrounded by.
With no warning, from out of the shadows between the trees multiple golden projectiles rushed out at incomprehensible speeds! On instinct his mind told his body to move, but his body wouldn't move! The glittering metal links flew at him and began wrapping his body up in a glowing cocoon. He grit his teeth, and looked down at the golden…chains? The chains wrapped and wrapped around him until he had no hope of moving anything but his head and neck, but strangely, he felt no fear. No panic.
He felt kind of warm actually, not the chilling cold the usually came with touching chains.
The sound of snow crunching beneath feet brought his mind from memory lane and back into the present. He readied himself for some kind of monster, or other heinous looking creature, but from the darkness walked a woman.
The first thing he noticed was the blood red hair that reminded him of his own right down to the length it was. Her red hair was held in a high ponytail that looked like it ended mid back with two long bangs that dropped down either side of her face, and she wore a blue head band with a metal plate on it wrapped around her forehead with some sort of symbol on it. She had a roundish face that came into a pointed chin. Her skin was fair, she had violet eyes, and again he was reminded of his own colored eyes while looking at hers.
She was slender, but these chains told a different story. She was wearing a forest green jacket over a black short-sleeved shirt with black form fitting pants that ran all the way down to her calves. On her feet she wore blue sandals on her feet, and wrapped with bandages around her thigh was a bag holding gods know what. As she got closer to him he could also notice a blue and red hilt peeking over her shoulder with a wooden knob on the end, and coming out of her back were the chains.
He quickly followed the chains with his eyes to confirm it, and, yup, the damn chains were coming from her.
Being tied up, Naruto felt his body rise and move forward towards the woman. They seemed to meet halfway, and Naruto was close enough that he could see the fog from her breath.
She reached out an open hand, and Naruto prepared for an attack of some sort, but all she did was put her warm hand on his cheek in a tender fashion. He looked up into her eyes, and saw not hostility, but warmth.
Oh you look so much like me, I knew our Uzumaki blood was too strong, she said. You are on a dangerous quest right now, and it will only get harder. Once you get to Alaska, I will be waiting for you, Naruto. I hope you meet my expectations
End Flashback
He woke to drab depressing weather, as they pulled into Seattle to find Phineas. They found the pudgy blind man, and Naruto almost choked on how old he actually smelled. After talking to the blind man, and getting his and Percy's eye almost poked in, they cut a deal with him. Get a particular harpy, and he'd tell them what they needed to know. Easy right?
Wrong. Oh so wrong.
Somehow the harpy they were supposed to capture and present to him was odd, even by his standards. Not only was she being bullied by the other harpies, he dang near killed one for that, but she had photographic memory. As in she remembered every. Single. Thing. That she had ever read. Granted she did spout out random things, but it just proved her genius and photographic memory.
So, as a group, they decided that, instead of listening to the old geezer, they were going to save Ella, which was her name, by gambling with him.
Perfect. Phineas was just one of many to learn the hard way to never bet against Naruto Uzumaki…granted he did cheat a little, but hey, all is fair in poison and war right?
…was that not how that line went?
Watching the smug, old blind seer Phineas crumble into nothing but dust, leaving behind his dirty robes and slippers after he chose the wrong vial was somewhat satisfying, and he could tell that it was the same for the others even though they wouldn't say it. Percy drank the vial, the right one, and that was that. Percy did look oddly shaken after the experience though. Probably because it tasted awful.
After that episode, they got back on the boat, location of Alyconeus's fortress in hand, and Ella the harpy as a companion, and sailed to Seattle, but not without a little hiccup. Yet again, Hazel went and passed out again, but this time, Frank went with her. Him and Percy were ready to shake them awake, but Ella stopped them short with her repeating of, "Sharing. Sharing is good.", and blocking of their attempts to check them out. He was sure Frank hit his head pretty hard.
So, they left them to 'share'. It also gave Naruto an excuse to talk to Percy about what was going to happen next.
"Percy," he called to grab his attention.
Percy took his eyes off of his two friends' unconscious bodies, and looked at Naruto. Percy wondered in a small part of his mind if his hair and eye color were genuine. Putting that off until they weren't on a quest that could mean the life and death of hundreds maybe thousands of people, Percy raised an eye brow prompting Naruto to continue.
"Once we get to Seattle, let me speak to the Amazons. I promised Reyna that I would at least try, and I never go back on my promises," He told Percy and showed him the silver ring around his finger. "Reyna's sister is there. She told me to show her this ring when I found her."
"Reyna has a sister?" Percy asked. He thought she was an only child like he was since there were no other children of Bellona that he had seen.
"Yeah, but if she is anything like Reyna is, then we should be careful. The Amazons hold a reputation that even mortals know about. I don't know how they will react to us since we are demigods, but be ready for anything," Naruto said.
Percy nodded his head in agreement, and refocused on steering the ship when Naruto said nothing else and went back to staring out at the water while fingering the ring he had around his digit. Hazel and Frank were still out of it, and the sun looked to be on its way down.
An idea struck him. He looked back to Naruto and asked, "Hey, Naruto, how did you and Reyna become friends?" He was honestly curious.
Naruto looked at Percy and smiled wide before answering, "Well, it wasn't easy. I'll tell you that…"
It was the next day, and Naruto looked out and could see buildings in the distance. He clapped his hands together to get his blood pumping. All this sitting around wasn't for him.
"I'll get Hazel and Frank up since we're almost there," He volunteered.
Naruto went over to Hazel first, and shook her awake. Lucky enough, it worked, and she began to stir almost immediately.
As she was getting up, Naruto went over to Frank and did the same thing to him, but a little bit more forcibly. In no time they both were getting their bearings, and ridding themselves of the last of the grogginess that they both felt.
"We've reached Seattle you two, so get up," he told them, but they didn't look like they heard him. Instead they looked at each other confusedly.
Frank rubbed his eyes, "Did we just…was I just…but how-?"
"You both passed out," Naruto told them. "We, Percy and I, tried to wake you up initially, but Ella stopped us. Said something about you two sharing. Care to share?" He asked with a raised brow at the two of them.
Ella swooped down from her perch to land on the railing besides them. She crouched down and preened herself, like most birds did, but to Naruto it looked very odd considering she wasn't full bird. "No more blackouts. August 14, 2003, biggest American blackout. Hazel shared. No more blackouts."
Naruto ran a hand through his hair and sighed." Yeah, I have no idea what she is talking about, and she has been going on like this all night. Just ask Percy."
Again, they both seemed to ignore what he just said, as Hazel turned to Frank and regarded him with a bewildered look as her hand went to her side, feeling for something he guessed. His brow twitched at being ignored for a second time. He felt the boat come to a stop. Percy must've been done docking the boat. It was time to start looking for Reyna's sister, and by proxy, the Amazons themselves. He sighed to himself as he turned away from the Hazel and Frank, they looked to be sharing a moment anyways if the look in their eyes were anything to go by, and went to grab his stuff. Maybe he should think positively this time around. I mean, how hard could it be to find a tribe of female warriors in the city of Seattle of all places?
"Oh, now it can't be this easy?" He wondered aloud to himself as he stared up at the building in front of them.
Percy stepped up to him and smiled as he crumbled the wrapper of the caramel chocolate he just finished that they got from this candy store and threw it away in the trashcan to his left. It was pretty good, but he felt as if he had tried something better than it before. "C'mon Naruto. This should be a good thing, right? We are on a time limit," he said.
"Uhm, guys," Frank said from Naruto's left, "This is a modern thing, you know that right? They're a company. They sell stuff on the internet. I don't think female warriors fit that mold."
They all took a moment to stand outside the brick and glass office building which had the words AMAZON etched on the glass of their front doors. They had been searching for a few hours, but, to Naruto, it felt a little too easy to him. His instincts were telling him something were up, and they were hardly ever wrong.
Percy shrugged his shoulders, "Only one way to find out then," he said and walked through the doors. Naruto had a bad feeling about this place, but followed Percy in anyways, but kept his senses open for anything out of the ordinary.
The quartet stepped inside of the nice office like building. There was a fish tank on the back wall, Naruto noticed there were no fish in it which was odd, and next to that was a stone staircase that led up and down. In the middle of room stood a tall dark skinned young woman in a dark green pantsuit with matching open toed heels on her feet. Her auburn hair was long and wavy with her bangs going parted to the left side of her face. As they got closer, Naruto saw her name tag said Kinzie, which must've been her name. She saw them walking in, and she smiled in a friendly manner that Naruto had to admit look genuine enough. What gave her away was the spike of negative emotion he felt come off of her as her eyes skimmed over him, Percy, and Frank. Instead of doing the same to Hazel, she was where they focused on.
Kinzie nodded at Hazel, ignoring him and the other male member of their group and asked, "May I help you?"
Naruto felt his irritation rise. What was with everyone ignoring him today?
Hazel spared a quick nervous glance at them before answering, "Uh…hopefully? We're looking for Amazons."
Naruto saw her eyes quickly dart over their weapons they held, from Hazel's sword to Frank's spear, which should've been hidden by the mist from mortals. He narrowed his eyes at her, unseen due to her paying attention to Hazel and pointedly ignoring anyone in the room of the male gender.
"This is the main campus for Amazon, yes," she told her slowly, cautiously. "Did you have an appointment with someone her, or-"
Percy stepped up, interrupting her, and said, "We're looking for-"
Naruto had to give it to her, she moved fast. Really fast.
Kinzie lashed out with a straight kick that connected with Frank's chest and sent him flying back towards the front door. With the same leg, she pulled it back, twirled, and swept Percy's legs out from under him knocking him down onto the hard floor. She pulled a sword out of nowhere, twirled it around, and swung at Naruto's head with the handle.
Her swing was stopped cold, as he gripped her wrist and stopped it. She was fast, but he had seen faster.
The, now apparent, Amazon, recovered quickly, and kicked at his knee. He blocked her kick with his leg, and raised his arm in time to block the follow up roundhouse to his head. Kinzie yelled and threw furious and swift jabs at his face that forced him to let go of her wrist in order to block them all. He disengaged, and set himself to defend.
In a heartbeat, the girl was upon him with a yell, swinging her sword, blade first this time, down at his head. He swayed his body to the left, dodging the quick downward swing, and swayed back to dodge the follow up attack. Quick as a bullet, Naruto dashed into her guard before she had time to pull her arm back to defend leaving her at the disadvantage. He threw a swift left hook then right cross that connected with force, but to his surprise, Kinzie powered right through his punches and head-butted him right in the nose. It connected with the force of a hammer that left him dazed. His instincts screamed at him to dodge, and he listened. He ducked the swipe with the sword at his head, and rose with a right uppercut that she was forced to lean back to avoid. He then threw a quick left jab at her head that she dodged. She slapped down his extended arm, throwing him off balance, and kicked the inside of his knee with her heeled foot. Balance now thrown off, she folded her arm and threw an elbow into his chest. Luckily his armor staved off the worst of it, but it still hurt enough.
Naruto wasn't one to stay on the defensive for long, and with quick thinking he hooked his leg behind one of hers, and tripped her making her fall onto her back. Quickly he took the advantage, and got on top of her, and began raining blow after blow into her guard.
He felt her hands grab onto his arm after one of his punches, and wrap it tight to the point he couldn't pull it back. She pulled him down and elbowed him onto the top of the head a couple times. He felt her legs wrap themselves around his head and neck, and began to squeeze. She was trying to choke him out.
With his free hand he pounded on her ribs with punches, but choke hold via legs was unrelenting, and the force was only increasing. He grabbed onto his hand with his free one, and staggered up onto one leg.
"AGH!" He yelled as pulled her up into the air with him as he stood up.
If she wanted to handle this the hard way, then he was going to handle it the hard way.
Now standing up, he spotted the fish tank on the back wall through his darkening vision. He ran to it, putting Kinzie in front of him. He felt her tighten her legs, constricting the air to his lungs and increasing the pressure on his skull even more.
SMASH!
They collided into the fish tank with the sound of glass breaking and water rushing out of the now huge hole in the tank. The impact shocked her enough to allow Naruto to get free, and he did. He staggered back, gulping down air in an effort to refill his lungs. Getting suffocated was not pleasant at all.
"Uh…Naruto?" He heard from behind him. Naruto suddenly remembered about his partners on this quest, and turned around to check on them.
He turned right into a fist.
"OW! Ah, shit that hurt!" He yelled out in pain as his hands flew up to his nose. There was now an even worse dull throbbing in his nose. He opened his watering eyes to get a look at the jackass who just decided to punch him in the nose like that, and his eyes widened in shock.
His hands slowly came away from his nose, (was that blood dribbling down onto his lips), and he put them in the air. Why? Well, there were 7 young women decked out in armor with shields, spears, and swords, all pointed at either him or his companions.
He chuckled nervously as sweat dribbled down the side of his face. "Ehehe, sorry about the fish tank?"
In a few tense moments, their extracting their fellow Amazon from the fish tank was funny to him but he could assume that laughing would get him skewered by the auburn haired Kinzie who looked like she wanted him to spontaneously combust into a ball of flames with the way she was glared at him.
The effect was kind of lost on him though due to the bruises she had on her face and her damp hair. Plus, he had experienced worse from Reyna. Ah, Reyna. Now, that reminded him of their original purpose here.
"I'm telling you, we didn't mean to trespass or break your fish tank. We just came here to talk to Hylla," He said trying to reason with her. One of the girls poked him in the back with her spear, but he just rolled his eyes at her attempt to get him to be quiet as they kept walking down and down and more down the stairs.
The one in the lead, Kinzie, didn't answer him. He knew she was ignoring him. Apparently they didn't respond to males, only females. Why? Because all males were inferior according to them.
In what seemed like forever, and so many stairs, they finally emerged into a huge cavern so big that Naruto had to crane his neck all the way back just to see the top. It was like one of those factories with the conveyer belts winding around with items rolling across them. There were mechanical cranes and other machines helping along with the process, as things clanked in and out of their place only to move somewhere else.
They continued to walk on forever and ever, and Naruto chanced a glance back at his companions to see how they were faring with all of the walking.
About as good as he was.
"The Underworld isn't even this big," Naruto heard Hazel mutter in exasperation.
Apparently Kinzie heard her as well, minus the exasperation.
"Ah, yes, you admire our base of operation," she said as she stopped them. She breathed in deeply and smiled wide at Hazel…ignoring the males…again. "We are worldwide. It took many years to build it up to what it is now, and cost us most of fortune. Now though, we're finally turning a profit, and what a profit it is going to be. Soon, we'll be richer than any mortal nation. Then, when we are at our peak and the mortal cannot hope to to contest us, then we will begin the revolution!" She finished excitedly.
Frank rolled his eyes and grumbled, "Oh yea, and what are you going to do? Cancel free shipping?"
The guard next to him heard him, and slammed the hilt of her sword into his gut. Naruto saw this and moved to help Frank up, but the other guard pushed him back at sword and spear point. He looked and saw Percy in the same position, but, alas, not Hazel. Like, really? What's a guy gotta do to not get a pointy thing pointed at him? Not be a guy probably.
"You will learn respect," Kinzie hissed out at the downed and groaning in pain Frank. "It is idiotic males like you that have ruined the mortal world. Only women, who are smarter, more harmonious,-"
"More humble too I'm guessing," Naruto said. The guard tried to hit him, but he swayed and ducked under the blow. To everyone's surprise, it was Kinzie who held a hand up to stop them from all taking a crack at him with their weapons.
Kinzie pushed her bangs out of her face and scowled at him. Naruto smiled back at her heated glare. "You have to be the worst of the worst. You must not be the brightest of your little group. I do hope Queen Hylla puts you in a collar to show you your true place." She growled out at him and stepped up to get in his face.
Naruto smiled even wider, showing off his canines, "You are so lucky that you had your friends here to stop me. How did that fish tank water taste?" He asked innocently.
Kinzie raised her hand to slap Naruto, but Hazel stepped between them.
"Stop it!" She said. "Hylla is going to be the ont judge us, right?" Kinzie nodded. "So take us to her. All we're doing here is wasting time."
Kinzie lowered her hand and nodded. "You are right. We have more important problems, and time…time is definitely an issue."
A guard, a broad shouldered one who was even taller than Kinzie, grunted out, "We could take them straight to Otrera. We could possibly win her favor that way."
"No!" Kinzie all but snarled at the guards to Naruto's surprise. Who was this Otrera? Oh, there goes that feeling again. "Hylla is queen, and that is where we will be taking them." She said with a tone that left no argument. She turned around curtly and began walking again with them following after her slowly.
Naruto's ears twitched as he heard one of the guard mutter low under breath, "Not for long."
They continued on for a while, crossing through forklift traffic, ducking and maneuvering around conveyor belts, and avoiding mechanical arms as they went about their programmed business.
Finally they entered a smaller room that look like a weird combination of a throne room, the guards, the door, and a loading area, the forklifts, the shelves stocked with…animals? Notjust normal animals either, but giant eagles, black mastiffs, and was that a gryphon?!
At the end of the room at the throne, if it could be called that. It was constructed of a bunch of books, and as they got closer he could say that they were all the same book called, 101 Tips for Highly Aggressive Women.
What a weird book.
At the base of the book throne, several women, Amazons, in camouflage were arguing while who Naruto could assume was Queen Hylla, Reyna's sister, sat in her throne and listened to the crowd of bickering Amazons.
Hylla was in her twenties, clearly, and she was lithe and lean like a tiger almost. She wore an all-black leather jumpsuit, with matching dark grey gauntlets and boots that went to the bottom of her knee. She wore no crown, but instead, along with a holster that was strapped around her waist holding a dagger, wore a golden belt of interlocking links. Naruto could definitely see the resemblance her and Reyna shared. She looked just like Reyna, but older. He couldn't describe it any better than that.
Kinzie made a sound of distaste as she saw the Amazons who were arguing.
Suddenly their group stopped abruptly due to Hazel. They all looked at her, and saw that she was staring at something. They all looked to see what caught her attention, and saw a horse. Not a winged horse, just a regular one. Naruto saw powerful muscles flex underneath his almost golden coat. The horse whipped around his dark mane of hair, and Naruto could swear that the stallion was looking right at Hazel.
Weird.
He only paid attention with half an ear to what Kinzie was talking about regarding the horse, something about Hazel wondering if he was for sale, and then learning that he wasn't because of how difficult he was to handle. The group started back on their way to the queen, and Naruto saw her eyes lock onto them for a moment, before going back to the arguing group in front of her.
She barked, "Enough!"
The bickering Amazons shut up immediately, and the queen waved them aside and beckoned Kinzie forward.
The guards pushed them up, and Kinzie shoved him in particular. He was going to get her back for that.
Kinzie spoke up, "My queen, these demigods here wi-"
The queen stood up, motioning for Kinzie to be quiet. She strode down from her throne, and down to the four of them. She got down to them, and unsheathed her dagger from her waist. She walked in front of them each, dagger skittering dangerously close to their throats before she ended at Percy.
"Now tell me, Percy Jackson, why I should even listen you? You, the reason why I and my sister had to struggle like we did? You and that blonde haired wench have caused me nothing but problems, so humor me before I decide to have you and your friends collared and put to work," she ended with a threat as she pressed her dagger to his neck.
Percy, eyes wide, pointed at him very quickly and rapidly. Queen Hylla turned her hard, molten glare onto him, thanks a lot Percy, and he tried his best not to sweat. Was this how Reyna's glare was gonna turn in a few years? If so, then he wanted to be on the receiving end as little as possible.
She walked in front of him, dagger pointed, and Naruto spoke up before she could say any more threatening phrases. Time to use all of those diplomacy skills that Reyna drilled into his skull.
"We're here because we need your help, Hylla," He told her calmly despite his instincts telling him to get that dagger away from his throat.
She scowled even deeper, "Who are you to address me with such familiarity?"
Naruto held up his hand with the ring on it, "I know your sister, and she sent us to seek you out. If not for us, then for her."
The queen's eyes widened a bit, and Naruto heard the tiny gasp escape her from how close they were. The color drained from her face and it took her a moment to collect herself. It was quick, but Naruto noticed it. Her eyes hardened and she frowned. To him she looked even madder than before, but she sheathed her dagger, which was a good sign?
"Explain this," Her glare turned even harder, and Naruto felt a shiver go down his spine. "Now."
And so he did.

A man sat at the top of his tower, uncaring of the pouring rain that fell down on top of his orange hair. The water dribbled down the many piercings he had in his face as he stoically gazed across the horizon. He could care less about the rain that never seemed to end here. No, he had bigger things to worry about.
Whether it liked it or not, this world was going to change. It was going to change as he declared it to, for he, he was the ultimate power. He was the judge, jury, and executioner. He had this power, this terrible power at his fingertips, and he was going to use it. He was going to force this world to see the error of their ways. He would show them the light when the world was shrouded in nothing but darkness.
He would show them pain.
His purple ringed eyes gazed impassively through the rain. He stood up, his all black cloak with red clouds dripping wet, and turned around as he sensed the presence of his most trusted ally. It was time to seal away their most recent capture.
He would show them pain, and then and only then would this world know true peace.
He would make sure of it…
