So it's a good thing that I am taking a little longer than I planned to with these chapters since it is allowing me to come up with creative ideas and the ideas I had that I had forgotten. Like the Restriction Gear System.

And just so you guys know this Naruto and ZRAIARZ are heavily based off of … ME!

Anyway on with the Show!

"Okay" – regular speech

"YAHHH BITCH" – unnecessary yelling

Blackout – Technique, power, etc.

"Did you just say no to me?" - Power added to voice, demons, gods, supernatural beings, when using dominance

*Cough*or *FLASHBACK* - actions or scene changes

"Fatality" – Feedback Cybernetic, or double-layered voices.

'My butt itches' - thoughts

Chapter 3: No pain no gain!

~Play – Core Pride – from Ao no Exorcist ~

It had been 2 years since ZRAIARZ had gone into Naruto to heal him and Naruto was beginning to stir awake. Naruto groggily opened his eyes. "Ahh where am I?" The changed blonde squinted his eyes as he recalled his memories. "Ahh now I remember. So I'm awake now, does that mean my healing process is over?" Naruto began to walk around the dark grounds before he found a body of water. He looked down at himself and saw that his appearance had changed again, or should he say corrected itself.

His body had grown and looked a lot healthier. He guessed that he now stood at a height of 4'6. He also became a lot more muscular having lean slim muscles and a developing 6-pack. He was still skinny but with his build he didn't have a problem with it. He felt a lot lighter even though he had obviously somehow gained weight, as if his body had just become that much stronger. Clenching his fists, he saw that his arms had gained tri-sets of tiger like stripes. There were 2 stripes on the outside of his forearms and 1 on the inside as well as a pair of stripes on both of his torso. The markings on his face had also evolved into 2 sets of 3 stripes. His upper canines had grown into fangs almost resembling a vampire and his lower canines, while not as much were pronounced as well.

He saw when he looked closely that under his eyes were tear troughs and his default expression seemed like a lazy calculating one with half-lidded eyes. These traits looked like one that would add to the dramatic effect of his expressions. His skin had gotten darker now the color of tan wood and also had a shine to it. His eyes were dramatic dragon-like violet eyes

The color scheme of his hair had evened out be now a grayish gold with but the bangs that framed his face were white. The spikes on the side of his head also drooped a little more. He was very happy with his new looks. Even if his clothes were in shreds until he felt a sharp pain in his chest and screamed and fell to his knees as black fluctuating energy shot out of his chest and collected a few feet in front of him forming the image of ZRAIARZ, who now could be a darker older twin of Naruto, and both their hair was similar now. But one things was for sure, ZRAIARZ looked exhausted.

~Play – Papermoon – from Soul Eater ~

"So the process is done eh? Welcome to the family of Denizen Naruto. Now I can get ready to teach you and explain the nature of Denizens. We have fused and so we are one for the time being until I have healed enough to permanently remain separate from you outside of the InVerse. Which I may not do because your life might become too entertaining."

There was a crack of thunder sounding before a beam of black and purple energy shot out of the floating platform above them the energy collected in front of them and became a figure as Naruto momentarily went on guard. The figure was revealed to be a person in a full body black cloak that had various chains crossing over his chest and stood at about 5'11. He pulled his hood back to reveal spikey goldish blonde hair that spiked more to one side and had blue eyes. He also had to key-like bladed weapons that he had crossing on his back held by the chains, one black the other white. He glanced at ZRAIARZ before looking at Naruto in interest. "Who's the kid?" was the question that came from the figure.

"Oh 'sup Ventus!"

"I told you my name is ROXAS now!" the now identified Roxas shouted back with a twitching eyebrow.

"Yeah but I still can't decide which name sounds better. Anyway long story short you could say that I have become this kid's Nobody!"

Roxas eyes widened as he understood the gist of what was happening as it had happened with a few Denizen in the past. Hell it happened to him! That's the main reason he became a Denizen in the first place. "So I take it you are gonna train this kid. Can I help?" Asked Roxas as he took one of the blades of his back and had a sadistic gleam in his eyes that made Naruto nervous.

"No way he is my toy first! You can play with him later." Okay now Naruto was starting to freak out, he also remembered what he did to his toys, and started to edge away as ZRAIARZ appearance became more ferocious as he grew wolf parts as he was talking. And why was there a city forming around them with the tallest buildings he had ever seen. ZRAIARZ saw Naruto inching away and that just fueled his sadistic excitement.

"Ohoho we have much to work with. As a Denizen you should be in control of your emotions. You know I could be nice and go into more detail about what a Denizen completely is but you can find that out later. But I will tell you one thing and that's that the bodies of us Denizen adapt hmhmhm very quickly… So the first lesson for the first day of your new life will be…"

Naruto saw ZRAIARZ vanish from sight with a low boom of sound (Sonido style!) before he felt a gigantic pain in his core from ZRAIARZ full on rail gun punching him in his gut, there were sparks and everything that caused him to buckle over and cough up blood before the force of the punch caught up to him and sent him flying. Naruto went tumbling through several buildings with his momentum not slowing at all. But after he crashed through the fifth building his flight abruptly ended. It ended because ZRAIARZ suddenly came from the sky above him as he sky stomped him into the ground heavily stopping him quickly and leaving a 11 foot long trench with his body.

"… Will be PAIN TOLERANCE!" came from ZRAIARZ above him as said persons eyes had turned red and his clothes wilder.

'This is unreal! I mean sure I have been through torture but this instant pain surpasses that. What have I gotten myself into!?' was Naruto's thoughts before he fell unconscious.

"Oops looks like I overdid it a little. Oh well you know the old saying" as ZRAIARZ looked to the 4th wall that magically appeared, "No pain no gain!"

Roxas suddenly appeared next to them and surveyed the damage. "You asshole you went too far and you just jumped from GEAR BASE to GEAR 5, didn't you warn use not to do that because of the damage it came cause us, especially if we are in a weakened state?" he asked with his arms crossed and scowl present."

An staggering shock of pain shot though ZRAIARZ's body as he coughed up blood. "Heh heh! Oops I forgot. Goodnight!" he waved at Roxas before he passed out from the pain on his weakened body.

"Tch looks like I got some work here. Maybe I'll stick around. I wonder if any of the others would want to help out." Roxas started to walk off not caring about the 2 beings violently passed out on the ground.

*End*

AN: Well guys that's it. Its not as short as other chapters but it is shorter than I wanted. I was planning on getting to 10,000 words total for this story with this chapter but obviously that didn't happen. I'm just running out of time. I actually started this the day after the last chapter but I ran out of time before I got my thoughts flowing. I can do like 1000 words an hour once my thoughts get going so that's good. I'm stopping this chapter not because I don't know were I'm going but because I ran out of time and really wanted to get you guys a new chapter.

Anyway I like the popularity this story has gotten but I need a lot more reviews. I know a lot of you have questions so ask them I am likely to answer them. So anyway I have been tossing around the idea of making all the sannin female whether they are with Naruto or not because I don't know what is wrong but many of his characters would be better and more interesting as girls. Sasuke will have sharigan starting from academy years to further cement his status now this doesn't mean I like sasuke in this story. No that is just to make his ass beats from Naruto more awesome. Also I don't know if anyone got this but everyone will be graduating at their shippuden ages so unless I state differently there looks are that of shippuden. Naruto's will be a lot different. Hinata's will also be different yet similar. Also someone wanted Rias Gremory to be with Naruto. Now I didn't care that much at first but now I figured out how I could make it work. So far I plan on making her the Fire Daimyo's adopted Daughter. I need more votes on my poll on what kind of female partner should be with Naruto which is another reason for this short chapter because he will be in the academy next chapter and so it might be too late. The leading results are monster and supernatural which with the way I have the story planned is already Kyubi. So maybe I will make it a vampire or Youkai so people give me ideas on those. Or it will be a weapon girl which will probably be Tsubaki which I might make a vampire.

A lemon or a lime which I have been planning since the start of the story is coming up. See if you can guess who it is with.

Anyway next chapter I plan on being longer and will hopefully cover:

Academy, Training, Meeting Kyuubi, Hinata's Role, and possibly Graduation.

So Review and Vote!

JA NE!
