A/N

Hey everyone if you didn't notice. I have rewritten chapter two.

Please reread the previous chapter if you think Naruto is still called Tourmaline.

Thanks for all the feedback, I do my best to meet everyone's wishes.

Updates will be late since I'm drafting a lot of the upcoming chapters, because I changed the story, I now must edit everything I previously wrote.

But I'm happy, I like a challenge. Please beware of mistakes, I will always edit and go over my chapters to the best of my ability.

Now onto the chapter…


Chapter Three – Our Promise

A few days before Ai's return...

Naruto stood in front of the door, his hand trembling as he reached out to turn the knob. He knew that something was waiting for him on the other side, but he couldn't quite bring himself to open it. As he hesitated, strange noises started to emanate from behind the door, whispers and creaking sounds that sent shivers down his spine.

His heart pounded in his chest as fear took hold of him. Finally, with a deep breath and all his courage gathered up inside him, as Naruto turned the knob and pushed open the door. What lay beyond was even more terrifying than anything he could have imagined.

Laying in a pool of her blood was his mother, the light in her eyes long gone. He tried to scream but no sound came out; all he could do was stand frozen in terror as he was getting closer to her body…. suddenly everything went black.

Naruto woke up gasping for air and drenched in sweat, realizing it had only been just a nightmare after all.

That felt real….

Almost too real...

Looking around his surroundings, Naruto's eyes landed on his mother's sleeping form, she was breathing, and Naruto took a sigh of relief. Moving closer to Ai, Naruto moved the hair out of her face, she was truly an angel.

Naruto vowed to protect everyone this time, he won't fail. Standing up he noticed Ruby was missing, he could hear someone shouting down the hall, following the noise Naruto found his older sister screaming at a mobile phone.

"What are you doing," Naruto said crossing his arms, Ruby jumped at first before responding. "Wah... what does it look like I'm doing." She said thinking the answer was obvious. Naruto sat down with her looking at the mobile phone.

"Well to me, it looks like you're just screaming at a bright light," Naruto said trying to get a closer look at what Ruby was doing.

"Stupid, Onii-chan. I'm defending Mama from all her haters." Ruby responded, typing away arguing with many Ai haters.

Naruto saw some of the harsh comments people were writing to his mother making his blood boil, he soon understood why his sister was screaming because moments later Naruto took the phone away from Ruby and started his war with the haters.

"Give it to them Onii-chan, tell them all to die a painful death," Ruby replied watching Naruto go to work, from the looks of things you'd think Naruto was a true fan of Ai's work but, he was just a boy defending his mother.

"You both should keep your voices down unless you want to wake Ai-san." A voice called out from the door, the duo was too distracted, and they let their guards down, luckily the person at the door was Aqua.

"Don't worry Aqua-nii, I would have noticed if Kaa-san was coming," Naruto said still not taking his attention away from the phone in front of him. Ruby nodded her head repeatedly at Aqua, making him question his younger siblings.

Aqua knew just like him, Naruto and Ruby were reincarnated, but he didn't know who they were in their previous lives, or how they died in the first place.

"It's good we have some privacy because I've been meaning to ask you guys something," Aqua said getting both of their attention.

"You're like me, right? Aqua asked getting nervous looks from his younger siblings, making him shake his head. "You've been reincarnated, with the memories of your past life." He said again just with more context.

All three of them looked at each other nervously until Naruto spoke up. "You're right Ni-san, but this doesn't change a thing. It doesn't matter if we have memories from our previous lives, what matters is the present." Naruto spoke with such passion even Aqua was shocked.

Was Naruto an adult like me? Aqua thought before shaking his head.

No, he and Ruby were similar, but Naruto... he's something more, I just can't understand why.

What made Naruto so different from him and Ruby?

"We are family. The past doesn't define who we are as people, we can learn and evolve or we can continue making the same mistakes." Naruto said standing up and walking towards the window, having a look at the night sky.

"We all have the same goal, right?" He asked Ruby and Aqua, both of them nodded replying at the same time.

"Protect Mama!"

"Protect Ai-san"

Naruto smiled, at his older siblings nodding in agreement. "It's a promise then!" He said flashing them a grin, raising his fist.

"Why are you raising your fist Onii-chan," Ruby asked in confusion.

"It's a sign of our bond, right?" Aqua said stepping closer to Naruto with his fist raised.

"Yep, once we bump first, it's a promise of a lifetime," Naruto said looking towards Ruby and waiting for her to complete the circle.

"W... Well, if you put it that way, I guess it's fine," Ruby said nervously, she was quite embarrassed but kept a straight face, she couldn't let them know she was only a teenager.

Once the trio gathered in a circle, they connected their fists, solidifying the promise.

"Family sticks together, no matter what, I'll always have your backs because I truly love you guys," Naruto said with a small smile.

Ruby and Aqua both blushed Heavily. Naruto caught them off guard with that, but both of them agreed with what he said.

"I... I care deeply for you guys too." Ruby replied softly holding their hands.

Aqua didn't reply, but Naruto didn't mind, he knew that was just his personality.

"Right, let's go back to bed. Ai-San will be awake shortly" Aqua said walking out of the room followed by Ruby and Naruto.


Back to the present, the trio was currently playing around and watching the tv. Ai was out with her manager for another upcoming show.

Naruto was just minding his own business when he felt a wave of negative emotions fill the room, glancing around and looking for the source his eyes landed on the president's wife.

"Aren't I technically a president's wife? I didn't marry him to become a stupid babysitter for some sixteen-year-old Idol" she screamed throwing things around the room.

"Wait a minute... isn't this the perfect moment, not the perfect scandal." Miyako Saitou eyed up the three children before her face become darkened.

"I can sell this information and become rich!" She said to herself, the darkness surrounding her worried Naruto greatly, he didn't understand how he could see the emotions of a person, this was the first time it's ever happened.

I could sense emotions in my past life, but I couldn't see them, are my eyes special? Do I have some crazy kekkei genkai...

I wish, but that power doesn't exist here. Maybe it's just a gift from my past life... Naruto thought over still trying to decide what to do with the current situation the trio has found themselves in.

"Should we kill her?" Ruby asked her brothers, Naruto was about to talk before Aqua spoke before him.

"We won't be able to kill her, the difference in our physical abilities is far too great," Aqua replied thinking over the situation.

"Don't worry Aqua-Ni, I can easily catch Mrs. Saitou off guard and kill her," Naruto said standing up and stretching his body for an upcoming fight.

"Okay, I said that as a joke but are you two truly thinking about killing her? Surely there's another way." Ruby said looking at Aqua hoping he had an answer to their problems, while Naruto was slowly walking towards the president's wife.

Was he really about to kill someone so easily just to protect his mother?

Mrs Saitou took out her phone taking pictures of all the evidence in the room, the dark glint still in her eyes. She was going to sell out Ai's biggest secret just to become rich.

"Wait, Naruto I have an idea," Aqua yelled silently getting his younger brother to stop, Naruto looked behind him waiting to hear what Aqua had to say.

"Let's reveal ourselves, but we play the roles of gods possessing the body of children," Aqua said with his arms crossed.

"How would that even work?" Naruto asked seeing the President's wife leave the room.

"Just trust me." Aqua smiled, Naruto nodded in agreement going over to Ruby and Aqua listening to his plan.

The trio got into their positions on the desk waiting for the president's wife to return, Ruby knocked a chair over making a bang.

"Wha... are you kids doing," she asked, sitting on top of the table was the triplets, all sitting with their arms crossed looking her dead in the eyes.

Aqua in the middle and Ruby and Naruto on each of his sides he spoke the following words.

"I am... a messenger sent from heaven." closing his eyes from the embarrassment.

Would this truly fool her? Will she accept we are possessed by gods...

either way, I can't back out now... Aqua thought opening his eyes and pointing at her.

"Those misdeeds of yours are something I can no longer overlook!" He yelled, the president's wife dropped to her knees.

"A message from the gods... wait... did this baby just talk." She asked not completely believing what was happening in front of her.

"Ah, I get it. This is some tv show prank right." She said standing up and dusting off her clothes.

"Ruby, it's not safe for you to be up on the desk like that." Mrs Saitou said reaching out with her hand to pick Ruby up before she slapped it away.

"Quiet!"

"I am the embodiment of Amaterasu, I am what you call a god."

Mrs Saitou fell to her knees once again her eyes going wide in shock, this was real.

"Ai Hoshino has been chosen to become the goddess of celebrities. You've been blinded by the things In front of you, and now you're on the verge of gods will." Ruby spoke in the manner of a child truly possessed by a god.

She should be an actor Naruto thought looking at his older sister in amazement.

"Its gods will that Ai Hoshino's children will carry great destinies, just like their mother, in that will, you will protect and nurture her children."

"God's will?" Mrs. Saito asked out to them in a whisper.

"Your current actions go against the gods, if you continue any further you will face divine punishment." Ruby looked over at Naruto signaling it was his turn to take over.

The stars Naruto's eyes both turned black as he stood up, cracking his neck. The president's wife looked at the younger sibling cautiously.

"Divine punishment?" She asked looking at Naruto.

"If you continue on this dark path, I the embodiment of Tsukuyomi will end your life," Naruto said releasing his small killer intent, it wasn't a lot but under these circumstances it was perfect.

"I will die..." She asked herself, small tears began to form around her eyes. She grabbed Naruto by the shirt in desperation.

"Please tell me how I can atone for my sins." She begged while Naruto stared at her in disgust.

"Easy, you protect the secret of Ai Hoshino and her kids, dote on them, and listen to everything they say. If you can do that, then you would have atoned for your sins" Aqua replied taking the heat off Naruto, from the look in his younger brother's eyes, Aqua felt like Naruto was being true with his words, but then again, he was too.

Both of them would kill to protect Ai Hoshino.

"I'll do it!" She said without a second thought, letting go of Naruto until he grabbed her right back giving her a death glare.

"If you fail, on the next full moon your life will end," Naruto said letting go of her and jumping off the desk, and walking away.

"If you continue looking after her children you might even remarry a hot new actor" Aqua replied trying to lighten the mood.

"Then it's no problem at all! I'll listen to everything they say, heck I'll even lick their shoes if that asked." Mrs Saitou replied smiling holding up a broom and saying hotties rock walking away leaving the pair alone.

"Do you think that was good enough?" Ruby asked Aqua, while he was thinking over the last events.

"I think it went very well, we needed an adult ally somehow." He replied smiling at his younger sister.

"Anyways that was some amazing acting, were you an actress in your previous life." He questioned her, Ruby looked at the floor, in her previous life she couldn't do much let alone act.

"No... that was my first time. I lived in a not-so-normal environment." She said sadly, Aqua could tell this was a sensitive subject for her and decided to try to lift her spirits.

"Well you have raw talent, you should be an actor in the future." He said leaving Ruby shocked, her being an actor.

She hadn't thought much about the future but even so, that comment was enough to fill her tiny little heart with love.

"Thank you, Onii-chan." Ruby smiled happily walking with Aqua.

"Who do you think Naruto was in his past life?" Ruby questioned her older brother, Naruto's acting didn't truly feel like he was acting at all, it felt like he had been threatening to kill people all his life.

"I'm not so sure," Aqua said thinking about who his little brother was, they all had secrets about their lives but Naruto had the biggest.

"I'm beginning to suspect Naruto had a very hard life that involved killing people." He said to Ruby making her eyes widen.

"Really" she replied, you could tell she was a little scared to know her little brother could have been a murderer in his past life.

"You shouldn't be afraid of him, remember our promise. Naruto has already said he loves us greatly." Aqua said patting Ruby's head.

"Stop worrying too much, your brothers will protect you," Aqua said making her blush, she liked having her head patted on, it gives her a scent of comfort.


Naruto was looking out his apartment window, it was a warm summer night in Tokyo. The air was thick with the smell of exhaust and sweat, but it didn't dampen the excitement that filled the city.

He had been looking out his apartment window for what felt like hours, watching as people below went about their business without a care in the world.

He was annoyed at himself for letting his emotions take control of his situation he had to be better. But Naruto knew that it wasn't possible, not right now anyway, so instead, he focused on taking comfort in small things: watching clouds drift past against an orange sky; listening to children laughing down below; feeling a cool breeze brushing against his face through slightly open windows... In those moments, Naruto felt contented despite everything else going on around him, a small crow landed on the window taking him by surprise when her heard a voice behind him.

"It's about time we met, Naruto Hoshino"

Turning around Naruto was saw a young girl, with an overall demeanorr of a creepy child, she had a creepy smile on her face looking directly at him.

Naruto could sense it, this girl was dangerous.
