Hey ya people sorry I haven't updated this story in a while, school has kept me busy (god I hate school… T__T) Oh well at least it's Winter Break!

So without further-a-do, here's chapter 6!!

Previously

"Um… I give you permission to return to your original form?", Naruto said uncertainly, it actually coming out as more of a question than a statement.

Yet it worked.

In a brief flash of red and black light Rebellion had disappeared and now standing a few feet away was Dante.

He simply said three words that meant so much more than the trio of genin could ever realize.

"You are worthy."

Currently

"W-Worthy?", Naruto stammered out slightly, a bit confused as to what his father said, "What do you mean 'worthy'?"

"That's something you should be able to figure out on your own.", Dante said as he disappeared in a flash of black and red and Rebellion had reappeared again safely on Naruto's back.

"WHAT THE HELL DAD?!?!", Naruto shouted as he violently ripped Rebellion off his back and slammed it into the ground, very hard, leaving a small web of cracks in its wake.

"Brother, calm yourself!", Sasuke snapped at his twin, "Just calm down and try thinking for a change you baka."

"Hell's that supposed to mean Bastard!"

"I'm saying to try and figure out what father meant instead of bashing him against the ground.", Sasuke's words had effectively calmed Naruto down as he placed Rebellion onto his back again and started to figure out what Dante had meant, and if anyone had had been looking at Rebellion at the time they would've seen anime-style tears coming out of its 'eye sockets' and rolling down its 'face'.

"Know what, screw this!", Naruto snapped after a minuet of thinking with no results coming to mind, "Let's just go and figure it out later!"

The other two members of the yet-to-be formed Team 7 both let out small sighs at Naruto's little out burst, but nonetheless agreed and followed after the silver-haired boy who was walking towards a circular object that was emitting a small a pillar of light, that had appeared when the blond had said he wanted to leave.

When Naruto stepped on the circular object he disappeared in brief flash of light, his world blurring, to then find himself standing outside the door to The Office.

'That felt weird…', he thought, as Sasuke and Hinata appeared behind him.

"That was freaky.", the blue wearing boy said aloud.

"No kidding.", the female of the three said.

"Okaaaaay… how 'bout we talk about the freakiness of… whatever that thing was tomorrow after we meet with our sensei.", Naruto said getting the attention of the other two, "'Cause I'm feeling beat right now, so lets go home and get some sleep."

Naruto statement was only enforced by him yawning, which as contagious, as Hinata and Sasuke yawned, also.

"Jackass's right, we're all tired from the fight with Father, Uncle, and Lady-san.", Sasuke said tiredly, he then let out a second yawn, as testament of how tired he was.

They all quickly made their way out of the cave that concealed the door to The Office. Just like with the tower they were all on top of not even a few minuets ago it was twilight out, showing that the sun was setting.

And after a moment or two of admiring the now multi-colored sky, they kept on going. And after about another ten or so minuets of walking, Naruto held out a hand for them to stop.

"What is it?", his brother asked.

"Do you guys here that?", the red eyed boy asked.

It was then that they all heard a small rustle coming from the bushes and trees around them.

Both Sasuke and Hinata tensed. "What was that?", Hinata said to the other two.

"I don't know.", Sasuke said.

Then what it was that was rustling causing the rustling came out of hiding.

They were clearly not human, their bodies looked to be made out a bunch of rags that were quickly and very badly sewn together and on each one either one arm or one leg was replaced with a what looked like an old executioner's blade. They looked like deadly and deformed scarecrows.

And there were two dozen of them.

"What the hell are these things?", Naruto voiced, as he took his father's old sword off his back and got into a ready stance.

"No clue.", his brother said as he crouched slightly and put his hand on Yamato's hilt, and Hinata, despite the fact she had no idea what it was, reached for the odd weapon on her back, getting ready to fight if necessary.

"Well what ever these things are I doubt they're here to be friends.", Naruto said as the scarecrow-like creatures closed in on the three as they put their backs to each other in the triangle formation.

But they weren't close enough as a portal opened up behind them, in the middle of their formation, and out rose up from it was another one of the 'scarecrows', the executioner's blade replacing its left arm. And the three partial-demons all snapped their heads back, shocked, to see a 'scarecrow' right behind them and in a position to swing its 'arm' and do a good bit of damage to all of them.

And then what sounded like a thunder clap echoed in the ears of the 'scarecrows' and the three partial-demons…

Save for the 'scarecrow' in the middle of their formation, that one never heard anything ever again, as its head was blown off.

"Pathetic.", a voice said from the trees, and all who were present turned their heads to the sound of the voice.

What they saw was a man with blue eyes and slightly messy silver hair wearing blue-purple trench coat with a red hoodie/vest underneath it and a navy blue muscle shirt underneath that, along with blue jeans and brown boots.

He had a body-length sword on his back that looked somewhat like a cleaver with an odd shaped hit and had an odd metal weapon, that resembled the ones Hinata had, in his left hand as the arm attached to said hand was fully extended forward, there was a small bit of smoke trailing off the end of the weapon that was pointed toward the group.

Yet the most noticeable thing about he man was his right arm, it looked like it more belonged on a demon than a human. It looked like the skin was glowing blue and scaled, covered by red bone-like armor.

'Who is this guy?', Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata all wondered. The 'scarecrows', however, all seemed to know who this man was though, as most were backing up in fear, but some ten or so were bravely (stupidly) moving forward toward the silver haired man.

'Idiots', the man thought. He then put his odd metal weapon away and grabbed his blade from his back with his left hand he sped forward and let out a horizontal slash at two 'scarecrows' sending them back along with one other, while crying out, "Streak!"

He then put his sword on his back and pulled out his odd metal weapon again and twice more it sounded like thunder clapped and one 'scarecrow' had found its head blown off while another found its left arm in searing pain.

And the one that came up behind the man in attempt to get the drop on him while about five others circled around him, found one of his legs in the grasp of the man's right hand and then being twirled around slamming it into it fellow badly-sewn-together friends sending them flying before he threw the one in his hand towards some of the few who were smart enough to back away from the man, the blade that replaced the thrown 'scarecrow's' arm had also impaled the face of another, killing it.

It was then that the badly sewn scarecrows decided to get smart and run. Portals opened up underneath each 'scarecrow' they all sunk into them leaving no trace that they were ever there aside from the quickly disintegrating corpses of their brothers.

"Damn, Scarecrows.", the silver haired man mumbled, "Always so annoying."

"OI!"

"Huh?", the man turned around to see Naruto looking at him like he wanted some answers.

"Alright pal, who or what are you, and what the hell were those things you just fought off?!", Naruto demanded rather loudly.

His teammates were looking at like he nuts. The guy in front of them had just fought off over a dozen of… what-ever those things were, and Naruto was demanding things out of the guy.

'Brother either has balls of iron or he is seriously an idiot.', Sasuke thought..

However the man looked slightly amused. "Well kid ya got balls, demanding shit out of me, I'll give you that.", the man said with a smirk, "But I guess you get that damn trait out of Dante, right?"

The three partial demons all stiffened. This guy knew about Dante? Now they all had some questions.

"Bet you're wondering who the hell I am right now.", the man said, "Name's Nero, I'm an old friend of your guys' parents."

"You… you knew our parents?", Naruto asked shocked.

"Yep.", Nero said, "And let me tell you; Dante was annoying as hell."

Rebellion started clacking instantly. Nero looked at it oddly.

'The hell?', Nero thought. Then a flash of black and red came from the sword, and when it cleared it revealed Dante standing there with his arms crossed and he had an annoyed look on his face.

"Who's annoying now, Nero?", the red wearing Devil Hunter asked, "I don't think I quite heard you right."

"Wha-?! You?!?! You're supposed to be dead!!", Nero shouted in shear shock.

Dante snorted, "Yeah right Kid, if you want to call someone annoying, call Vergil annoying."

Then a blue and white flash erupted from Yamato, and Vergil was then standing in front of Sasuke and was looking at Dante with a raised eyebrow.

"You believe me to be annoying?", he asked in a cold voice.

"Damn straight I do!", Dante responded as turned to look at his twin.

And Nero… looked like he was about to faint.

Which he did after about five more seconds.

"Nice.", Hinata heard someone say. She snapped her head around looking for whoever it was that just spoke. It appeared the others didn't hear anything.

'Who…', the Hyuga Heiress thought.

"Don't worry I'll explain later.", the voice said, 'Just go home and get some sleep, I'll tell you everything in the morning."

"Okaaaaay…", Dante said as he looked at the unconscious Nero adn kicked it lightly, "Should we just leave the poor idiot there or what?"

Vergil smacked his brother over the head, "No, we take him back with us, now help me carry him."

"Fine.", Dante grumbled, he then bent down and slung one of Nero's arms over his shoulders and Vergil did the same with his other arm.

"Well lets go.", Dante sighed as he and Vergil stood up and walked off dragging Nero with them, the three partial-demons following them, and Hinata still wondering who it was she heard.

Hope you all like this chapter! And I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
