A/N: I received a review stating that people are not sure as to what I'm crossing Naruto over with…and it seems to my embarrassment that I forgot to put it in the description. The reason I put this in a regular fiction instead of a crossover is because people tend to ignore stories from the "Dungeon Fighter Online" world (being an MMO Beat-em up RPG and all). However, I seem to be getting a good number of reviews now, and I thank all the reviewers that have been reading this. As to who Meilan and GSD are, I have added their classes in the Vocabulary. Other than that, read and review, would you kindly?

[Konoha Ninja Academy, 2:30 PM…]

"Do you really think those two will be here?" asked Meilan with a pout on her face, waiting with Naruto in her arms, "They'll be here," he said, "in fact, they should be here right about…now!"

"I didn't know that you were bringing a guest Naruto-kun…" said Tsukiko, from behind the duo, "…although I suppose we didn't say that you couldn't bring one either dobe…" finished Sasuke, his up-front arrogance back in his voice, before the two of them finished together at the same time, "…but either way, our mom would like to meet the person that's been with you for the time you were out of the village."

Naruto had been curious…who was the twins' mother that they were talking about? "I'm glad to finally meet your mom, but I don't think I know her."

This time it was Sasuke that started the sentence. "You may not know her, but she definitely knows you…"

"…we don't know how, but we suppose she knows you enough to call for you by name."

Now Meilan was interested. What was it that the twins' mother wanted with Naruto? Even more curious was how she knew the apple of her eye by name. Was she like the other bigots in this hellhole of a village glaring at the two of them as they passed by? Nah, she probably wasn't like that…but still, she couldn't let her guard down—not when she didn't know this woman, and especially not since she noticed that several of the boys were looking at her with lecherous grins on their eyes…and even though she could take them all on, Meilan knew it was only a matter of time before she had to deal with outright rape attempts. She simply grabbed Naruto gently by the hand, and started following the twins…her guard continuously up.

…

[Fugaku's Mansion, Uchiha District, 3:45 PM…]

The mansion of Uchiha Fugaku was a place of lavish splendor—and a place of tragedy. Five years ago, the night before the disappearance of Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Itachi had murdered his own clan, leaving his mother and twin siblings alive. Nobody knew what happened—Uchiha Itachi was known to be a level-headed ninja in addition to his talent…why he would do such a thing had baffled even the Yamanaka clan. It was here that Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Tsukiko had come home to see their father dead, and their mother about to be slain. It wasn't clear what happened, but what is known is that afterwards, the twins were thrust into the duty of reviving the clan while Mikoto served as substitute head of the clan until Sasuke was of age to take command. Now however, Fugaku's mansion had been converted into a clinic for optometry and ophthalmology…and in the clinic, Mikoto was at work with a patient.

"Well then Sonozaki-san," began Mikoto, writing up her clinical charts for the patient, "the surgery's done and I've made sure to cut cleanly…but for now, keep this blindfold on and come back to me in a couple of months so that I can check up on your recovery."

"Thanks doc," said the patient, "I'll be seeing you in two months then."

As the last patient started to vacate the premises, Mikoto began to close down the clinic…she was open up until around this time. As she started closing shop, she heard the sounds of four footsteps entering the grounds followed by a unified "Mom, we're home!". Mikoto turned to see the visitors. Before her were the twins—but behind them was a little girl with a bun in her hair, and a very familiar sight she never thought she'd see again. "Welcome home kids!" she said with a welcoming smile on her face, "And who is this newcomer?"

"Mom, meet our new classmates, Uzumaki Naruto and Baihe Meilan."

She had appraised the girl Meilan with a look of interest. So this beautiful little girl was the last of the Baihe family…yes, she was such a pure specimen. Her real interest was for Uzumaki Naruto—my, he had grown in five years! The only additions she noticed on him aside from his change of clothing were the red arm that was carrying a chain seal, and the fact that he was wearing a blindfold. She turned to Meilan, and greeted her with a warm smile. "So you're the girl I've heard so much about from the twins," she began, "you're even prettier than I thought."

Meilan simply turned red from embarrassment at the compliment. "Oh…no, I'm not pretty—I've a long ways to go before I can even deserve being called that."

Mikoto chuckled—the humble ones were always the more fun to tease. "You don't give yourself enough credit…if I didn't know any better I'd say you'd be a rival in a beauty contest with Tsukiko." Tsukiko heard the jib at her, and simply blushed. "Mom!"

"All joking aside though, why don't you and Sasuke take Meilan with you on a tour of the mansion? I'm pretty sure you kids will have much to talk about afterwards." Upon hearing that, Tsukiko and Sasuke simply nodded in acknowledgement and took Meilan by the hand, leaving Mikoto alone with Naruto. She simply sighed…so long had she wanted to bring Naruto here, and away from the torment of his life prior to his training trip. So many things had gotten in the way…but given what happened in the past, she knew she had to take him in slowly. It was already bad enough she failed him and his parents, she did not want to make things worse by revealing to him what was done behind his back. "Naruto, if you'll just follow me, I'd like to do a checkup on your eyes."

"Sure thing ma'am, but I don't think I can pay you…"

"No worries, I do checkups for free," she said quickly cutting him off with a very motherly tone, "so you can just relax your sunny little head."

Naruto wasn't sure, but he was sure he'd heard that voice before…but it was so long that he doesn't exactly remember…that said, he was led by the hand to a chair. "Now, I'm going to need your blindfold off for us to start."

"Sure thing." There was nothing to it…just a checkup, and that would be all…he'll contemplate the familiarity of that voice he heard from Mrs. Uchiha. Mikoto on the other hand, watched as Naruto untied the back of his blindfold, and opened his eyes—what she saw had brought pain to her heart. As she inspected the eye, she remembered that the Naruto she knew had the cerulean blue eyes of his father, and the glittering of his mother—these eyes were frosted over with cataracts. But even under that fog in his eyes, she could still see his parents in him.

"Hmm…chakra damage to your eyes has caused cataracts in them," she began, continuing to investigate further, "this is common in people with dojutsu. How did you lose your sight?"

"I lost it while learning a technique from my sensei," he began, "he taught me a technique, and then I accidentally learned another one through it. After that, my world started going dark."

"The price of the gods."

"Yes, how did you know?"

Mikoto simply sighed. "When Uchiha get to a certain part of their lives, normally at the peak of their power, their Sharingan changes to become more powerful…however, this comes at a price as they keep using the special variation the Sharingan more. The Uchiha that keep using this special variation of the Sharingan eventually go blind…how that's possible, I'm not sure, but legends say that this is a price of the gods for attaining power."

It was then that Naruto grinned, and started speaking quietly. "You're very insightful…and I can definitely see that your daughters have inherited more than just your smell of cedar wood."

She turned and looked at Naruto with surprise in her eyes. Naruto knew? Before she could deny anything, Naruto continued in his quiet voice. "I'll admit, the genjutsu was able to fool my ears and (to an extent) my chakra sense, but it couldn't really fool my nose. For you see, while a man may very well have same scent combination as his twin sister, the difference is in the intensity—the scent of a man often hits my nose like a bear mauling a tiger, while women tend to have a much gentler edge to their scent combinations…and both Sasuke and Tsukiko had really soft scents. The only question I have for you now, if you don't mind me asking, is why the deception?"

Now she was impressed, Mikoto knew that because he was blind, Naruto compensated for it with his other senses. To know that even his nose was that powerful really spoke volumes of his perception to her. She knew that she had a secret to keep…but at the same time, it was kind of useless to keep the secret in front of someone that already figured it out. She let out a sigh…whether out of frustration at the fact that they had been found out, or the fact that Naruto just pressed the issue a bit, she didn't know. She checked around to make sure nobody was around before she activated a high-level privacy seal on the door. "By Uchiha Law, the only time when women can take any sort of power in the clan is when there are too few clan members and the heir is too young to take up the position of clan head…the only problem is that the heir has to be a boy. If there is no male heir, then the female heirs of the clan have to produce a male heir by the age of seventeen or face disownment. The civilian council has left my daughters alone because of this law and the genjutsu that my husband had placed—if they find out the true identity of my girls, then I fear for their safety…the Ninja Academy is yet another buffer, but if they are discovered to be girls, then they could still be kidnapped for sinister purposes whether or not they are students of the academy. The only time I can think of that they'll be safer is when they are at least genin-level ninja—but even then, I'll fear for their safety because they are still my little girls."

Now Naruto understood…he had seen firsthand the corruption of the civilian council due to the fact that he taken his fair share of beatings, but he was not sure how the twins would handle possibly worst fate to ever befall him—and that would be rape attempts. As he contemplated his options, he knew what his answer was. "Your secret is safe with me…but out of curiosity, what is Sasuke's real name?"

Mikoto looked at the boy with relief in her eyes. Even though his eyes were frosted over, she could tell he meant it. "Her name is Satsuki."

Before she could continue hugging Naruto, the metal chime at the front door of the mansion sounded off. "Now who could that be?" As she contemplated on the identity of her visitor, she turned back to Naruto. "How about I take you to the dining area? I've just boiled a pot of tea."

As he stood up, Naruto started putting his blindfold back on. "That'll be nice…although shouldn't we wait for the others to be at the table?"

"Good idea…I'll see if I can get those two to bring your friend over…"

…

[Fugaku's Mansion, front gate…five minutes later…]

Higurashi Tenten had just arrived at the front door of the Uchiha Mansion. She knew that during her career as a ninja, Uchiha Mikoto was a frequent customer of her family's arsenal, so it was no wonder she made friends with her father…even though her new career was as an eye doctor, and that all of her scalpels are special-ordered from Higurashi Arsenal, that did not seem to diminish the friendship she still had with Hiten. Although it was a bit of a surprise that she had ordered weapons for once…sure, they were iaito, but still…

Before she could think anymore on that, or even ring the chime again, she saw the gate open, and one woman standing in the doorway. "Ah! Tenten! Good to see you. I trust you are well?"

As she studied Uchiha Mikoto, Tenten noted that this was a very beautiful woman. Midnight black hair that matched her coal-colored eyes, a fine hourglass-shaped figure that recovered well after giving birth to twins, pale skin, D-sized breasts…why this woman has not remarried by now, she'll never know. But either way, she has some business to take care of. "I'm fine Uchiha-sama," she said, "I trust your day has been as productive as mine? Anyway, I've brought your order for two iaito…dad told me to tell you he was sorry for the delay—he's had to argue with quite a few ninja accusing him of selling them defective weapons. The nerve of them! Our weapons work fine!"

"Well, we can talk about it later. I seem to have left my purse in the den…why don't you have a walk around the mansion? Don't worry about finding me—I'll find you."

…

[Dining area…]

Naruto walked around in the dining area—feeling around, he had found the dining table, the cushions for the family to sit on, and several other things. The room itself was the traditional-style room, if the tatami mats covering the floor were any indication. As his touch began to find its way to the walls, he found that it was not an overly large room—not too small as to be inhospitable to guests, but not too large for a small family either.

His hands continued to wander around until they found a door with a knob…and a small one to boot. What could be behind it? Once he turned the knob, his hands had started ruffling around in the closet until he found something. His fingers had rubbed along the surface of something made of lacquer-coated wood—it was small, and sort of rectangular. As he continued to feel around the wooden object, he found a sharp edge that led into a hole in the object before he felt three large wooden pegs with what he assumed was silk being wound through them, and then he finally found the reason why those silk strings were tightly wound around using three wooden pegs the second he plucked on one of them along a long and thin wooden shaft. He had just found a samisen! Although judging by the fact that the sound was very abrupt, Naruto ran his hand down the strings of the samisen, and found that the bachi was being held in place by all three strings.

This was good…perhaps this was a good review for him—prior to his blindness, Old Man GSD had taken him to the Baihe estate to learn from their musicians about the intricate details of rhythm using music. All he said back then was that one of these days, what he learned there would have a lot of value in the future. It was there that he had met Meilan…she had taught him how to play his first instrument, which was unsurprisingly the samisen. Their relationship wasn't exactly the best at first, but it wasn't long until they became closer…and as their relationship blossom, so too did Naruto's skill in playing. By the time Meilan was the last member of her family Naruto mastered his skills in playing the samisen to an adept level, was barely competent the biwa, and was a beginner with the koto.

Taking his thoughts back to the area he was in, Naruto eventually found himself wandering further into the closet—he began to realize, upon finding other instruments, that he had stumbled upon the music closet. Looks like someone had a liking for music! As he continued to feel around the closet, his hands had eventually found another instrument—with what he assumed were metal bolts that tied down six metal strings, a flat bridge, and a hollow body with a flat almond-shaped object held down by the strings near the head…oh he knew this instrument! It was an instrument from Kaminari no Kuni…how the Uchiha family had gotten their hands on it, he may never know…but what he did know was that this was his favorite instrument! He picked up the instrument and started walking out of the closet…once he found a spot on the floor he could sit on he pulled the pick out of the strings, and started strumming at each string—making sure they were tuned just right. Once he was satisfied with the sounds coming from the guitar, he simply relaxed, and began playing…it was a song he had thought of that evoked images of a home. A place where one would belong…and with that, he continued to play before the scent of other people being nearby started filling his nose. They had come to investigate the song he was playing no doubt, if the slower steps were any indication…ah well, better greet these people now…

…

[Outside the Dining Area…]

She could not help but marvel at the sights she was seeing as she walked through the mansion. True, she had seen her fair share of mansions, but the Uchiha mansion seemed the most dignified of them all. The cherry trees, the peaches, even the Zen garden were things she seemed to appreciate. Before long, Tenten had heard a strange sound from afar—at first, it sounded like just a few strings being plucked, and then it started being more coherent…and the few strings being plucked started to soothe her as she started moving closer and closer trying to find the source of the beat. She was not an avid listener of music, but even she could tell the sound of talent from afar.

Tenten walked around and around the mansion, trying to find the source, until she found herself facing a shoji door where the music was at its loudest. She walked closer and closer until she found herself a few inches away from the door. The curiosity was gripping her…compelling her to open that door to see who it was that was playing such fine music. Some part of her however, said that perhaps whoever it was did not want to be disturbed. She then reasoned that a quick peek at the musician wouldn't hurt…and so she slid the door open ever-so-slightly to allow her to peek into the room. She scanned the room, and the first thing she noted was that she was looking at someone's back…he was wearing a black hooded vest, and gray pants, and his right arm was strumming whatever instrument he was playing,

As he continued playing, apparently not noticing that she was in the area, she slowly started to open the door a little more. "So someone has come to hear me play," he said a little louder over the music, something about that voice turned her on, while at the same time, she felt she knew that voice, "let's see now…judging from the sound of your footsteps, I would guess that you are about 45 kilograms and stand at roughly 154 centimeters tall give or take—a very healthy statistic for a girl about thirteen years of age such as yourself."

Now she was impressed…Tenten opened the door a little wider and started taking in a little more of the stranger, "You're very good, but how did you know I was thirteen?"

"I could hear your heartbeat; it was too strong and healthy to be that of a woman of about say…seventy years? Either way, it was a bit of a guesstimate."

As she looked on at the stranger in the house, she noted that he had defined arms, and a very well-sculpted body—but what really stood out to her was the fact that he was wearing a blindfold, and that his head was covered in a short mop of spiky, sun-kissed hair. She knew something was familiar about this boy, and now she knew who he reminded her of…and the fact that he had three whisker-marks on each of his cheeks had confirmed it! "Foxy-kun?"

The boy simply flinched upon hearing that name…and then turned to face Tenten with a look of recognition on his face. Yes, this was Uzumaki Naruto—the friend she had made almost seven years ago in the slums. She watched as he carefully put the instrument down and started to lift both of his hands cautiously before settling them both on her cheeks…and she started feeling hot as he started running his hands all over her face gently—glad that he was not able to see the slight tinge of red she was taking on. As she felt his hands exploring her face in an innocent-yet-sensuous way, she remembered all the times she had shared with him—from the day she first found him in the bushes when she got lost in the slums, to the day before he left Konoha on that training trip of his.

As he stopped exploring, he had gently pulled his hands off her face—much to her slight displeasure. "Is that you Tenten?"

No sooner than he had posed the question, Tenten simply didn't care about her image as a tough girl—she just wanted to pull him into a hug as she started letting out tears of joy…angry as she was that he didn't try to find her, she was too happy to see Naruto to care. And besides, how she was hugging him would be both a punishment and a present as it were. "I was afraid I'd never see you again!"

"I'm sorry I didn't try to find you sooner," he said, blushing madly as his face was pressed into Tenten's breasts, "but would you please let me go? I'm pretty sure that this is an awkward position for you."

"Well isn't this an adorable sight?"

Upon hearing that one line, Tenten looked up and noted Mikoto standing outside the dining area with a cat-ate-the-canary grin on her face, and in her hands was the purse she had been looking for. She immediately let go of Naruto with a reddened face.

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me Tenten," added Mikoto, the amusement still on her face, "would you like to join us for tea?"

"Um, sure thing Uchiha-sama."

"Splendid…as for you three—since you're here, you might as well make yourselves useful and bring out the crackers!"

Tenten wondered exactly why she made mention of three others, until she heard the sound of a shoji door opening—and in walked the Uchiha twins, and a girl she had not seen before, all glaring at her with daggers in their eyes; jealousy no doubt at the fact that she knew Naruto before any of them did…all she could do however, was glare back. Due to the intensity of the glares, one could swear they heard the crackling of electricity in the air from the apparent four-way rivalry that had developed between them…

…

[Two hours later…]

The tea party had been over almost an hour ago—Tenten had gone home with the pay owed to her father for the iaito Mikoto had ordered, Meilan had led Naruto away by the hand to their apartment, and the twins stood waiting in the training ground waiting for their next lesson in the exquisite art of swordsmanship. The light and bouncing 'clack, clack' of the twins sparring with each other filled the air as they cried out the names of the strikes:

"Men! Men!"

"Do!"

"Kote! Men!"

"Do! Men!"

As she walked towards the training ground carrying a shinai, Mikoto looked back on everything that had happened so far concerning Naruto. When she had heard from the reading of Minato and Kushina's will that she was to be his legal guardian, she had mixed feelings about it…before she settled on confidence—confidence that she would not disappoint her two best friends. She had resolved that little Naruto would grow up with love and a proper family, and become a ninja that would make his parents proud. Once her mind was made up, she had made the trek to Konoha General Hospital to pick up the child so that she could do her duty…the second she stepped into the room where she had left young Naruto, she saw Sarutobi there. She didn't have a good feeling about his appearance, and when she saw that Naruto was no longer in his crib, she began to question him about it. When she learned that Hiruzen had sent Naruto to live in an orphanage, this had begun the first of three earfuls he would be receiving from her…not to mention all the glares of utter contempt he would be receiving from her and all the other clan heads upon learning of his fate.

Hiruzen had assured her and the other clan heads that this was the best thing for everyone in the long run. To be honest, they all knew he had a very legitimate reason for doing this: Konoha was weakened as many of the ninja had died sealing the Kyuubi no Kitsune into Naruto, and the second that her enemies heard of this, they would move on in. This would have been exacerbated by the fact that if people had found out that the Yellow Flash had survived by a son, then even Iwa would find the allure of revenge too strong to resist. Yes, those were legitimate enough reasons behind his actions, but it still didn't remove the bitter taste in her mouth, knowing that she had failed in her promise to Minato and Kushina…that did not mean however, that she gave up.

The second she got home, she found Itachi and privately requested that he go out and find the orphanage Naruto was located at. A few days later, Itachi had returned—with a disgusted look on his face. According to him, the orphanage matron had given Naruto bad milk, and several villagers tried repeatedly to stab him to death more than a couple of times before he and other ANBU (apparently from the other clans) stopped them. Yes, this was disgusting…how far the villagers would go simply to harm one child who had nothing to do with the deaths of their loved ones…and then she realized that there was another reason she started hating Hiruzen along with several other ninja: and that reason came about when that foolish old man revealed to an ignorant civilian populace that the Kyuubi no Kitsune was sealed into a child. Since then, she had started making discreet trips to the orphanage Naruto was at to make sure he was well taken care of…giving him better food and advising him not to share it with the other orphans—those kids were being raised to hate him, so why share with people who didn't deserve it? In the meantime, she had continuously sent in numerous adoption requests—all of which were turned down both by the civilian council, Sarutobi himself (albeit reluctantly), and unsurprisingly her own husband (Fugaku absolutely hated Minato…and this was mostly due to the fact that the latter became Hokage and he didn't).

Two years into her quest to get Naruto a proper family, she'd heard rumor from Hyuuga Otome (heaven rest her soul) that she was not the only one trying to adopt him; while she couldn't count the other ninja that tried to do so, she did know that Nara Shikaku had made thirteen attempts in total so far in that week, Yamanaka Inoichi had made twenty, Akimichi Chouza tried twenty-four times this month, even Hiashi and Otome herself had tried to adopt him almost a hundred times for the past month, to the point that Inuzuka Tsume had tried almost thrice daily for the past two years by every other member of her clan—one of the few clan heads that didn't participate in this was Aburame Shibi, not out of any malice for Naruto but for the fact that he lets out an aura that slowly kills their kikaichu beetles, and out of those clan heads he was the only one with a legitimate reason.

Once Naruto reached five years of age, he was literally kicked out of the orphanage at night—and in front of a crowd that immediately started stomping on him the second he hit the floor. After that event, she eventually took him into the Uchiha safe-house in the slums before she stormed into Sarutobi's office and gave him his second earful—being longer than the last one, due to his response that he wanted Naruto to grow up with a normal childhood. Upon hearing that, she didn't care anymore…she wanted Sarutobi to pay for his inept care of Naruto, and for disregarding the last wishes of a true hero of Konoha. True, he spent some time with Naruto and treated him like a grandson, but considering how important the boy was to the village Mikoto thought he would've taken better care of him. Her days of keeping him incognito were limited, but they were some of the most joyful days she had next to spending time with her daughters—right up until Hiruzen got him a small apartment to live in, and forbade her from ever visiting him.

When she got home that day, Mikoto found herself siding with Fugaku in his coup and turning a blind eye to the crimes of her clan if only to protect her family—and to make sure that after the whole mess was over, she could finally start to do her duty as Naruto's guardian proper. When she heard of her husband's true intentions for Naruto a few months down the road, Mikoto immediately told Itachi (whom at this point, she had suspected he was very likely the spy for the Hokage) to tell Sarutobi she was willing to cooperate, and that she had a written message for him. The exact contents of this missive, word-for-word was: "Don't mistake my assistance for a sign of forgiveness—I hate you with all my heart for what you did and didn't do for Naruto, and nothing is going to make my hatred any clearer. Keep in mind that I'm giving you all that I know because I hate Danzo even more, and so before I give you this information, you must give me a written promise that you'll grow a spine and show the civilian council their true place in this village—and if you still lack the courage to do so, then at the very least you'll promise to take better care of Naruto."

It wasn't long until Mikoto received the response that she gave up what she knew of the plot, and everything she had turned a blind eye to. When the day came that Itachi was sent to kill his own family members, she was prepared to die for taking part in a plan that would have involved Naruto being tied down to a table and then raped by every female member of the clan using him as breeding stock, and her own daughters possibly being a part of this corruption started by their father. What she was not prepared for was Itachi sparing her and the twins, placing them in the genjutsu world of Tsukuyomi, and hospitalizing them on the same night that Naruto had gained that demonic arm of his…while in Tsukuyomi, Itachi told her that the reason he spared her was because he knew her motivations for her support of the coup were pure and that that someone needed to make sure the twins would walk down the right path.

When she woke up a couple weeks later, she saw her daughters asleep and in each others' arms…and that Satsuki's identity as Sasuke was not compromised much to her relief—she knew the clan law, and so did they. But then she realized, now that the three of them were the last Uchiha alive, sans Itachi who she knew would be forced to go on the run after his actions, she now had the chance to adopt Naruto…and so she called Sarutobi to talk about the massacre in private. To her rage, she had learned that Naruto was no longer in the village, and that he was taken in by a blind swordsman to be trained to defend himself before he comes to the academy…that was the third and most recent time she had given Sarutobi an earful—and she knew he had a right to feel guilty. If he had thought out his actions more carefully, if he had taken better care of Naruto, then he would not have needed to be taken out of the village for training this early in his life.

Now however, as she stepped into the training ground with the twins ready and willing for the next lesson, Mikoto wondered if it was too late to be Naruto's guardian…

…

A/N: No action now…just reunions. The guitar Naruto found/played would be an acoustic Gibson Les Paul—the way I see it, if the Naruto world has TV's and radio headsets, then why can't they have guitars and guitar amps? As to Mikoto, I decided to tell why she was not able to take Naruto into her family, and decided to tie it in to why she survived the Uchiha Incident.

Vocabulary:

Fighter—a class in Dungeon Fighter Online that specializes in hand-to-hand combat…they use gloves, claws, gauntlets, tonfas, and boxing gloves (only if they are Strikers). Their subclasses are Grappler (lots of throwing techniques), Nen Master (a lot of light-based magic and one of the best defensive play-styles in the game), Brawler (does a lot of poison and blind attacks), and Striker (very fast melee attacker, and has the best offense game). Meilan is an OC of this class…not sure which subclass she'll be yet, but I'm leaning towards Nen Master.

Slayer—a class in Dungeon Fighter Online that are known for their demon-possessed arms. They wield short swords, katana, maces, zanbato (sometimes called great swords), and lightsabres (only if they are Blademasters). Their subclasses are Soul Bender (summons ghosts that buff him and his party, he has the best control game (you trick your opponent a lot)), Berserker (takes lots of damage in order deal more back to the opponent; his techniques tend to inflict the 'bleed' status effect), Asura (specializes in using waves of energy to attack enemies, practically immune to the 'blind' status effect due to being blind himself), and Blademaster (fast melee attacker, uses all Slayer weapons best, has fast weapon-switching speed). Naruto and GSD are both Asura-subclass Slayers, the latter being the NPC that teaches techniques while the former will start off as an Asura before he learns all the techniques of the other Slayer subclasses. Later on, Satsuki and Tsukiko will both be Slayers after Orochimaru gives them the Curse Mark…not sure which subclass they will be and the weapons they will use though.

Samisen—a Japanese string instrument in the shape of a guitar; has three strings, hence its name, and is played using a plectrum (bachi). It has a sound similar to a banjo.

Biwa—another Japanese string instrument; this is a lute with four or five strings.

Koto—a Japanese string instrument; this is a very big zither with 13-17 strings, played on the lap.
