Mnarutodbz "Here I am again with a new chapter of this story. Everyone must be dying of curiousity about what Trish is gonna do!"
Dante "Grr...shut up...they are just a bunch of entertainment seekers who want to see that my ass is handed over to her."
Mnarutodbz shrugs "It can't be that bad...I think you're just imagining things. Anyway before we get to the review I just want to say that I am applying the same option to this story as in The Saiyans new adventure. For the people who doesn't read it I will say it...in the next chapter you can ask questions to the characters themselves."
Naruto "Stupid rule..."
Mnarutodbz "Don't be like that Naruto or else you will get stupid questions because you're acting like a jerk."
Naruto sighs "Fine..."
Mnarutodbz "Alright then...reviews!"
10 tailed naruto "sooo trish is in konoha is she gonna torture naruto and dante is she is she is she telll MEEEEE:P"
Dante "Told you so..."
Mnarutodbz sweatdrops "Hehe...well...just wait and see..."
Storylover213 "nice chapter sasuke isnt a ass anymore naruto my fina become a man because of haku and dante is about to get his ass handed to him on a silver platter by trish thats just great i always found it funny as hell when trish beat dante to a bloody pulp."
Sasuke "Ass?"
Naruto "Become a man?"
Dante "Bloody pulp?"
Mnarutodbz sweatdrops "Hehehe..(coughs)..."
Dante glares at Mnarutodbz "That's number 2..."
Mnarutodbz "I know...I can count you know...next review."
Kagutsuchi Firegod "Do you plan on Giving Dante's business of Hunting demons a new name? Are you planning on turning half the Namikaze mansion his office or add on to the Mansion turning it into a small district? Pizza can be made with bread dough and tomato sauce, the rest is what you choose for the toppings. Will that help your pizza problem Dante?
A cop pulls over after Firegod pops his bone back in his leg "You are under arrest for desturbing the peace and possessing illegal fi. . (Bang)" Firegod shoots the cop in the head. "Thanks for the replacement car!" Firegod takes the cop car and drives off."
Mnarutodbz "Well...like Naruto said in the last chapter...the Devil may cry agency will move to the Namikaze compound...a small part of it will be decorated like an office."
Dante "And your tip doesn't help because it takes too long to make...grr annoying people. And don't you know that killing other people is wrong? That police officer was just doing his job!"
Mnarutodbz "Why are you in such a bad mood Dante?"
Dante "Because everyone wants that I am beaten to a bloody pulp by Trish..."
Trish walks in "I'm just populair...don't whine about it like a little baby..."
Dante "Grr...next review..."
Grocamol "Do you have plans for the other Demon containers Like Gaara? Will you have Naruto or Dante save them from the Akutski (Did I spell that right?) later in the story? Both Ramen and Pizza are the best, they both have their own greatness.
Grocamol looks back to see his OC crew stapping up with Guns and swords. Enru kicks the front door of the house "Lets go kick some demon ass everyone!" Everyone cheers, but in a good way. Everybody exits the house in a different way, some jump through the windows crashing them in the prosses, others stampede through all available doors, and one over excited Enreru blows up a new exit through the wall. Grocamol sighs "Can I crash at your place Naruto, till my house is fixed?
Public apoligy: If anyone is angered by me, please except my sincerest apologies for any spamming and rude remarks towards any of your reviews."
Mnarutodbz "Well if I have any plans you will read it eventually...I hate to spoil the rest of the story. And it's Akatsuki...not Akutski."
Both Naruto and Dante take out their guns and aim at Grocamol and they yell in unison "Don't even dare to say that pizza is just as great as ramen...pizza takes first place and ramen second place!"
Naruto "And sure you can stay...if you can find it hehehe."
aka suna kitsune "*screams like a little girl* RUN FOR COVER TRISH IS HERE *hides behind a random boulder*... if Trish is here i wonder if lady is gonna make an appearance?"
Trish looks amazed at aka suna kitsune "I didn't know a voice could get so high..."
Mnarutodbz "Well...it's unlikely that Lady will appear because it's been a long time since the Devil may cry series...but you people will hear some things about her...This also answers the review of Kokuryu-Oh."
SuperNarutoLover "Another nice chapter.
I loved the part about how Naruto got the devil bringer. I read stories that he simply "have" it without any explanation. But how did Nero die? He couldn't have died from old age and he was too cool and strong to be killed by demons...TELL ME!
(coughs) anyway. I loved the sentimental part with Haku and Zabuza and of course the explosion of anger.
I really laughed my ass off when I read that part when Naruto did his sexy jutsu and that Trish kicked him in the nuts. And since we're talking about Trish...please kick Naruto's ass since he made fun of our women shopping sense!
Good luck with the rest of the story."
Mnarutodbz "Well your first question will be answered in this chapter."
Trish glares at Naruto who immediatly starts to sweatdrop and with a scary voice she asked "Did you really do that...Naruto?"
Naruto shakes his head but Mnarutodbz nods. Naruto turns around and yells "THANKS A LOT STUPID TRAITOR!"
Suddenly Naruto feels Trish her hand on his shoulder and she says "Do you know why we women have a passion for shopping?"
Naruto shakes his head and Trish continues "To let go some of our agression!" and she punches Naruto in the face and he was send flying.
Mnarutodbz looks at the scene with a painful expression on his face "Ouch...that's gotta hurt. Well enjoy the chapter people...after the disclaimer of course!"
Disclaimer I don't own Naruto, Devil may cry nor any characters used in this FANFICTION.
Dante was relaxing on the couch while Kushina was busy in the kitchen.
He suddenly heard a voice he knew all too well "Sitting on your ass again lazy bum."
Dante slowly turned around and saw a woman that was covered in leather and she had blond hair. She was followed by Naruto and strangely enough also Sasuke.
Dante "Thanks for pointing out the obvious."
Trish "Just be happy I'm so resourceful or else I was still waiting at the crappy hut you call an office."
Dante "Oops...I totally forgot about you didn't I?"
Kushina came out of the kitchen and she saw Trish and asked "Who are you?"
Dante answered "She is just a business associate of mine."
Trish looked mad "Just a business associate!"
Dante sighed "Alright...alright...she is also a good friend. Please don't keep hammering on that Trish. By the way...our office will be relocated to this place...thanks to Naruto."
Kushina bowed "Nice to meet you miss Trish."
Trish just looked at Kushina "Just Trish will do...who is she?"
Dante "She is Naruto's mother...and strangely enough my half-sister."
Trish "I thought she was dead."
Dante "So did everyone else but it appears she was just in a coma and the hokage spread the word that she was dead to save Naruto from more grief."
Trish "I see. Well she looks nicer and smarter than you...well you don't place the bar that high anyway but still..."
Naruto smirked and said "Ouch."
Dante growled in annoyance and said "That was just cruel...why do you have to be such a mean hag sometimes?"
Trish got a scary glare while she dropped the suitcase and with a scary voice she said "What did you say?"
Naruto got a scared look on his face and took Kushina's and Sasuke's hand and dragged them out of there.
When they were outside Kushina released herself from Naruto's grasp and asked "Why did you do that for!"
Naruto "Trust me...you'll thank me. Dante called Trish a hag and when that happens you better stay out of their way."
As in respons of Naruto's words they could hear Dante screaming when bolts of electricity seem to come out of the house.
After a while Dante was trying to crawl out of the house and reached out for Naruto's hand as he said "Na...Naruto...please...give me a hand here..."
Naruto "ARE YOU INSANE! There is NO WAY that I'm gonna be a part of this!"
Dante was suddenly dragged into the house as he screamed "Pathetic coward!"
Sasuke looked surprised and asked "Does this happen often?"
Naruto "Nah...normally Dante is smart enough not to call Trish names."
Kushina "I'm going inside to make sure she doesn't kill him."
Naruto stopped Kushina "She wouldn't pull it off even if she tried but I will go in there in your place. I've had my problems with Trish as well and I survived it."
Naruto slowly walked inside. He almost lost conciousness when he saw the mess Trish and Dante made in their little fight.
He just walked in when Trish gave Dante a hard hit in the face that send Dante flying towards Naruto. Naruto acted on his instincts and called forth his devil bringer and caught Dante with an ethereal arm.
Trish and Dante forgot their little fight when they saw the Devil bringer and Dante said "That's the devil bringer. Where did you get that?"
Naruto explained what happened in the forest on his latest mission. When he told about the strange woman he followed Dante immediatly said "Kyrie..."
Naruto was done with the story and he asked "Dante...you seem to know about that Nero person. Who was he?"
Dante "He was someone with devil blood. He was somehow connected to Sparda although I didn't know how. It was later I discovered it."
Naruto "How did he die?"
Dante "Well let me start with a story before I tell you how he died. Nero was a very strong fighter who was pretty adept with the devil bringer. He had a lover called Kyrie. Years later Kyrie died of a disease and Nero never became the same again. The grief and serious attitude got to him."
Naruto nods "The lost of a lover can change a man a lot."
Dante "Indeed. A short while later some rookie devil summoner made the mistake of summoning someone called Nelo Angelo...the possessed devil who was once my brother. Nero fought him but something strange happened."
Naruto "Something strange?"
Dante "Yes. During their fight Nero started to...fade. The more Nero faded, the more Nelo Angelo transformed back and when Nero was completely gone my brother Virgil had returned."
Naruto "How is that possible!"
Dante "We heard a theory from someone who knows about these things. According to him Nero was the reincarnation of Virgil's humanity. During that fight Virgil's humanity returned to his original body which resulted in Nero's demise and Virgil's resurrection...and I mean the TRUE Virgil."
Naruto "So...there is a chance that your brother is out there?"
Dante shrugs "Could be. I don't know if he came here with us."
Naruto nodded. Dante told him that Dante and Trish came from a different world...or dimension. Dante told that the world or dimension he lived in came to a end by natural means. Tsunami's, hurricanes and earthquakes ended the world but a bright light appeared and the next thing Dante and Trish knew was that they were in Naruto's world. Since that moment the demon portals appeared in Naruto's world.
Dante continued "Well he isn't evil anymore...not totally anyway. My brother was never evil...just misguided. He helped me a bit with the office and later he left in a quest to find himself again."
Naruto "I will keep that in mind...just...be careful about your abilities here please. I don't want everyone to know that we are half devils or else we have a angry mob on our hands."
Dante and Trish nodded and Naruto said "What's in the suitcase?"
Trish "Dante's devil arms. Something told me that I should bring them along and luckily I did because Dante didn't tell me anything about relocating his office...although you can't hear me complain because that old 'office' is more dangerous than a demon attack in more ways than one!"
Dante "Well...at least I have room in this place to store my devil arms safely."
Naruto "Trish...would you like to live here as well? It's not like you have a place to stay anyway and I wouldn't like to send you to a hotel."
Trish "Sure...but why isn't it a good idea to stay at a hotel?"
Naruto made a gesture with his hand "Too much perverts in Konoha..."
Trish nodded "Oookay."
Suddenly Kushina turned her head around the corner "Is it safe to come in?"
Naruto nodded "Sure mom...everything is worked out...for the moment."
Kushina gasped when she saw the destruction of the living room. She got mad and said "Look at this mess! Who is going to clean up!"
Dante got a startled look on his face and said "Ehm...I gotta let my clients know that my office is located here...see ya!" and he disappeared using the Quicksilver ability.
Trish whispered "Dammit...asshole."
She walked to the door but Kushina got in her way and with a angry voice she said "Where do you think you're going?"
Trish looked at Kushina "Outside...I wish I could help to clean up but...do you know how hard it is to bend when you're wearing leather?"
Naruto got a disturbed look on his face while Sasuke, who was still waiting near the front door, started to drool a little as wild fantasies ran through his head.
Trish left the house while Kushina started to clean up the mess in a angry mood.
Sasuke "I'm going back home. Guess Itachi is waiting for me with dinner."
Naruto had a deadpanned expression on his face "Your brother can cook?"
Sasuke "Yeah...why?"
Naruto "Well...he doesn't look like someone who can cook."
Sasuke "Well his cooking is great...although he makes me eat things like sprouts and broccoli...I hate those things!"
Naruto smirked "Thank Kami I don't have to eat those things...but anyway see ya around."
Sasuke "Bet on it!" and he left for his home.
Naruto walked into his home and saw that his mother was cleaning up in a angry state. He said "Do you need help mom?"
Kushina "No...just let me be for a second."
Naruto shrugged and walked upstairs. He knocked on Haku's door and opened it. Haku let out a scream while she quickly wrapped a towel around her private parts.
Naruto started to sweatdrop "S...sorry Haku...I didn't think you would be...naked."
Haku "Don't you know that you should wait for the 'come in' part before you enter the room?"
Naruto chuckled and said "Sorry...I lived on myself for so long that I forgot about that little detail."
Haku glared suspiciously at Naruto "I don't think you forgot and if you did you forgot on purpose."
Naruto "No...no. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable here. I lived on myself the first few years of my life and the rest I lived with another guy so it isn't that strange that my skills in etiquette are a bit...rusty."
Haku smiled "I forgive...on one condition."
Naruto "And that is?"
Haku's smile grew bigger "A date...tomorrow."
Naruto smirked "Great...I promise I'll be on my best behaviour."
Haku walked past Naruto on her way to her walk in closet and with a wink she said "Who said I want you on your best behaviour."
Naruto looked stunned but soon a big smirk was on his face.
He walked out of the room and suddenly heard someone whistle. He looked around but no one was there and then he realised that the whistle came out of his mind. It was Kyuubi.
Kyuubi whistled again and said And that's number one.
Naruto Don't push me Kyu.
Kyuubi said with a comical teary voice Little Naruto is growing up so fast.
Naruto growled a bit What do you mean by that? It's just a date!
Kyuubi If you think so...I know better.
Naruto Huh?
Kyuubi sighed You're very slow today. Haku is normally a very silent and serious person. Suddenly she is flirting with you...don't you find that a bit strange?
Naruto Perhaps she is opening up.
Kyuubi growled Yeeeeaahhh...right. Or perhaps you accidently let out a little bit of pheramones.
Naruto startled Are you serious!
Kyuubi started to laugh Don't worry...it was only a little bit and it only affected her because she was already attracted to you. It isn't enough to make her fall on her knees and beg you to...
Naruto ALRIGHT! I get the picture.
Kyuubi laughed again Good...anyway you have that date in your pocket. You can even bring her to a prison and she still consider it a great date.
Naruto I know already...oh well it will be the most interesting thing tomorrow because first I have to do some boring D-ranked missions.
Kyuubi They should give you some more important missions. If you get that mission with that cat tomorrow...please do Konoha a favor and slice that cat's legs off!
Naruto You're feeling sadistic today Kyu.
Kyuubi What do you expect? Those so called 'missions' are just a replay of the same boring stuff over and over again.
Naruto Then I might have an interesting offer for you...
Kyuubi Hmm?
Naruto If you help me with some certain techniques...as a sparring partner of course...I'll let you out while I am doing missions tomorrow. How about that?
Kyuubi Grr...last time I was your sparring partner it hurt like hell...on the other side those D-ranked missions are boring as hell. So no matter what I chose it will still be hell.
Naruto smirked So you'll feel right at home.
Kyuubi growled but suddenly she chuckled It is because you're a handsome devil or else I would've kicked your ass. Fine I'll help you with your training.
Naruto went to the nearby forest and summoned Kyuubi from his body. They started to train and they kept training until it was dark outside. Kyuubi returned where she belonged and Naruto went back to the Namikaze estate to eat.
He came into the dining room and saw that everyone was waiting for him. Naruto smelled something delicious and he sat down. Kushina came out of the kitchen with several platters and Naruto and Dante were surprised when they saw that Kushina made pizza's.
Naruto "Mom...how did you know how to make these?"
Kushina smiled "Dante told me how to make them so I tried to do my best!"
Dante looked at the pizza "It smells about right...but what are those green things on it."
Kushina "You said that someone can choose which toppings to use so I chose broccoli."
Naruto and Dante had a scared expression on their faces.
Dante "Broc..."
Naruto "...coli?"
Kushina "Yeah...so?"
Trish was already eating and she said "Come on guys...it isn't that bad to tell you the truth."
Naruto slowly picked up the pizza and started to eat. He had to admit that broccoli wasn't that bad. Only Dante didn't try it. Trish thought it was rude so she pulled Dante's ear and ordered him to eat it. He finally surrendered and he found out the hard way that he didn't like broccoli.
Kushina crossed her arms "At least you know now for sure that you don't like broccoli. Now you can remove the remaining broccoli off your pizza and eat the rest.
The next day
Naruto woke up in a bad mood. He knew he had some boring missions today. He got under the shower and dressed up. He summoned Kyuubi from his body so that he fullfilled his promise to her and left the estate.
He got to the training area where the team usually meets up. He already saw Ten-ten and Ino. They were still waiting for Kakashi and Itachi. To their surprise they were early for once.
They explained the 'mission'. They had to deliver some goods in town and after that they had to clean up near the river. Naruto sighed because he already knew that the day would be boring as hell...
Somewhere in Konoha
Two people dressed in black cloaks were walking through the village. One was bigger than the other while the other one was smaller. People who were observant could clearly see that the big person was a male while the smaller one was a female, because of the way she moved and her figure.
The big person said "Are you sure we can find the demon in this village?"
The smaller person nodded "Yes. The one who gave us the order said that he was here."
The big person asked "And how did he looked like again?"
The smaller person "He looks like a boy, has blond hair shaped like a mop and carries around a big sword."
The big person sighed "I really hate it when we don't get enough information. The client only said that the demon returned here recently and looks like a small boy around 13 years old."
The small one replied "Don't complain. Be happy we get any jobs at all. I only hope this isn't another wild goose chase."
The big person said "Well...the client looked solid. What was the name the demon had again?"
The smaller person said "Naruto Uzumaki..."
With Naruto
Naruto just delivered some old scrolls to a shop in Konoha. He was bored out of his mind and wished this day would end soon so that he could train.
Soon he returned to the training field and saw that Kakashi and Ten-ten were waiting for him. Ino and Itachi haven't completed their mission yet.
Kakashi eye-smiled "Ah so there you are Naruto...did the delivery go well?"
Naruto nodded slowly "Yeah...it was really boring. I wish something exciting would happ..."
He suddenly stopped talking while he was looking around. Kakashi noticed it and looked around as well. Ten-ten asked "Naruto...what's the matter?"
Naruto "Something isn't right here. We are being watched...and not in the good way."
Suddenly an arrow rushed out of the nearby bushes and Naruto quickly jumped aside. There was an explosive tag on the arrow and it exploded but Naruto was too far away from it to get hit by the blast.
Ten-ten got her scroll and summoned a lot of kunai and send them to the bushes where the arrow came from. A small person dressed in a black cloak came out of it.
She stood in front of the three ninja and suddenly a second figure dressed in a black cloak appeared beside the small person.
Naruto thought There is something strange about that smaller person although I can't really put my finger on it.
Naruto "Who are you and why are you attacking me?"
The big person started to chuckle "Please don't play the victim here demon!"
Ten-ten "Are you blind! Naruto isn't a demon idiot!"
The smaller person started to talk "We are from the order of light and someone hired us to kill the demon that calls himself Naruto Uzumaki."
Ten-ten "Order of what!"
Naruto glared at the two "The order of light. They are a bunch of amateurs that can only take out lower and middle class demons. They are a bunch of idiotic extremists that kill first and ask questions later. Some even made human casualties because of that attitude."
The big person said with a angry voice "Don't mock the order!"
Naruto shrugs "I'm simply stating a fact. Don't blame me for the incompetence of some of your fellow companions."
The big man attack in a wild rage. The smaller person told him to stop but he didn't listen. While he was rushing towards Naruto he got a blade from beneath his cloak and made a attempt to cut Naruto in half.
Naruto simply got Repent off of his back and blocked the fierce strike. With almost no effort at all Naruto threw the big man back who landed on his butt.
The big man chuckled and said "That's the proof I needed. Only a demon could do that without any effort...you're exposed demon!"
Naruto glared at the big man "That doesn't proof I am a demon. It simply proves that you are a weakling and a amateur."
The big man snorted "I am Obo Agitawa and I've slain more demons than you know!"
Naruto sighed "How can you be so proud of beating so many demons even a chunin can handle."
Obo "WHAT! I oughtta..."
Naruto interupted with a mad voice "No! You should listen! I am much stronger than you realize. I could even kill you without ever feeling any remorse because the way the order of light acts damages innocent people more than helping them. So let go of your high and mighty attitude and use that small thing between your ears!"
The smaller person stepped forward and said "Obo...that's enough. He is right. If he was a demon you would already have been killed when you landed on your behind."
Obo "B..But Maya."
Maya "It seems we were send on a wild goose chase again. This boy isn't a demon."
She removed her hood. She had blond hair and some small bangs were hanging in front of her had one grey eye and strangely enough one red eye and those eyes were looking into Naruto's eyes. Obo removed his hood as well. He had the face of a professional boxer. He had short, spiky black hair and two dark blue eyes.
Maya bowed and said "I am Maya Ateme and this is my partner Obo Agitawa. I'm sorry for the mistake. Our client gave us the order to eliminate the demon threat called Naruto Uzumaki."
Naruto "There is no damage so it's alright. But next time investigate if your 'target' is really a demon. If I didn't had my guard up you could have injured, or even worse killed me."
Obo "The client gave us a story that indicated you were a demon. The story was plausible."
Kakashi "And what kind of story was that?"
Obo "He said that the nine-tailed fox attacked the village a few years ago and that he since recently has returned in the form of a young boy named Naruto Uzumaki."
Kakashi had a shocked expression on his face but Naruto started to chuckle "So your client said that? Even if that was true it would make me a jinchuuriki (demon vessel), not a demon."
Obo growled "They're the same thing."
Maya "Obo...that's enough. They are not the same things. Demon vessels contain demons. In a way they prevent that the tailed-beasts roam free in this world. People don't know the difference between being a jinchuuriki or being possessed by a demon. The way you are thinking now is the reason why jinchuuriki are hated."
Naruto "It seems you partner has more brains than you Obo."
Obo started to curse and to swear but Naruto didn't hear him anymore. Instead of that something else happened. He saw it was getting darker and he heard a voice in his head "Young companion of Dante. The girl is mine. Don't interfere or you will die with her!"
Then everything returned to normal and Naruto could hear Obo should "ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!"
Naruto could feel that some alarm bells were going off inside his head and he jumped towards Maya and tackled her.
While Naruto was in mid-air Obo shouted "WHAT ARE YOU..." and suddenly some claws came out of the ground where Maya was standing.
A big hole appeared and a big demon crawled out of it, followed by some small demons.
Kakashi, Ten-ten and Obo started to fight the small demons.
Maya looked at it and said "Thanks...I owe you one."
Naruto "No prob...stay close to me. He is after you."
The big demon started to talk "Young one! I thought I told you to stay away from the girl!"
Naruto "Did you really think I was gonna do that? That would be boring."
The big demon roared and said "You dare to defy me! Fine then it's time you meet your doom!"
The big demon pulled his arm back and he punched toward the direction Naruto was. Naruto jumped up and just in time because the place he was standing turned into a unrecognisable mass of debris.
The demon couldn't see where Naruto jumped to because he was too busy with his punch and he looked around. He heard Naruto whistle and to his surprise Naruto was lying in a comfortable position on his shoulder.
Naruto "I gotta say...I love the view from up here."
The demon growled "You insolent little..." and a 'boom' sound was heard and the demon screamed while he was reaching for his ear. Naruto shot off a big part of it.
Naruto "Please don't insult me...I am rather sensative."
The demon said "I will find out how sensative you are...when I'm squeezing the life out of you!" And his free hand tried to take Naruto but he quickly dodged it and jumped down.
The demon made a quick step with his feet and stepped on Naruto. Maya's eyes bulged out and she screamed "NARUTO!"
The demon laughed evilly but suddenly a surprised look appeared on his face. His foot was being pushed up and Maya could clearly see Naruto.
Naruto had a disgusted look on his face "Damn that smells...haven't you ever heard of water? Your feet smell like a pile of rotting corpses."
Naruto pushed the demonic foot higher and the big demon lost his balance and fell down, conviently crushing some of his minions.
Naruto took advantage of the situation and ran up his body and in no time he reached the head of the demon and he pulled out his guns.
The demon's eyes widened and he said "You...you're not human.."
Naruto "Perhaps you're right but at least I am not a demon." and he pulled the trigger and kept shooting until there wasn't any face left.
Suddenly the minions of the big demon stopped and ran away when their master was killed.
The 5 people chased and killed them until every single minion was dead.
Everything was over but suddenly Obo aimed his sword at Naruto and with a icy look in his eyes he asked "What are you?"
Maya pushed Obo's sword down "Stop it Obo. He isn't our enemy."
Obo had a surprised look on his face "But Maya...you saw what he did right? There is no way a normal human can do that! That demon was a high middle class or even a low higher class!"
Maya "I said stop it Obo...or do you want to pierce me as well?"
Obo looked down and Naruto thought What does she mean?
Maya bowed and said "Thank you for saving me and killing that big demon. If there is anything we can do just ask."
Kakashi stepped forward and said "We would like to know who gave you the order to kill Naruto."
Naruto looked strange at Kakashi and Kakashi said "I suspect it is someone from this village Naruto. If we don't find out who he is he could possibly try to get hold of another demon hunter."
Maya nodded "Alright although it goes against the order's policy. The name of the client is Amoni."
Naruto looked strange at the name but Kakashi nodded "It's the chef of the Akimichi restaurant in Konoha."
Ten-ten "Do you think the Akimichi-clan is behind this?"
Kakashi shaked his head "No. I know Choza Akimichi, Choji's father, and I know for sure he doesn't wish that anything should happen to Naruto. I would rather suspect the Hyuuga-clan for something like this but not the Akimichi-clan."
Ten-ten "But why would someone want Naruto dead?"
Kakashi "Well..."
Naruto sighed "Well you're gonna hear this one day or another. The reason why the people of Konoha hate me and did those terrible things to me is because...I'm the jinchuuriki of the nine-tailed fox."
Maya "So you really are the jinchuuriki of the nine-tailed fox."
Naruto nodded. Ten-ten was surprised...she didn't suspect that Naruto would hold such a big secret but it all made sense. The icy glares filled with hate that were aimed at Naruto while he was walking on the streets of Konoha...the silent whispers...the strange responses of her parents when she asked about Naruto.
Obo was surprised as well "But why were you away for so long...the last time the order heard something about the nine-tailed jinchuuriki was around 8 years ago or something."
Kakashi "That's easy. Someone took him away after some Jonin crossed the line."
Obo "Crossed the line?"
Kakashi nodded "They crossed the line when they crucified a 4-year old boy."
Maya's eyes got filled with rage "How terrible! It isn't his fault that he is a jinchuuriki!" then she calmed down "But thank you for telling us. Now we can put you on the order's list."
Kakashi looked strange "What list?"
Maya turned to Kakashi "The order has a list of all jinchuuriki because people sometimes hire us to kill demons and later we find out that the target is a jinchuuriki. The order took measures to prevent that and made a list of all known jinchuuriki. If someone hire us to kill a demon and the name is on the list then we refuse the job."
Kakashi nodded and Naruto said with a serious face "Nice but I don't think everyone in the order thinks the same way. Jinchuuriki are hated and feared and in return Jinchuuriki become instable because of the pain of being alone."
Maya "Pain of being alone?"
Naruto's face cleared up "Nah...just some good old jinchuuriki talk. Just forget about it."
Kakashi turned towards Ten-ten "You may think about Naruto what you want but know that this information is classified."
Ten-ten "Don't worry. I don't think of Naruto any different, as a matter a fact I'm more angry on the villagers. It isn't his fault and yet they did terrible things to him. They should be ashamed of themselves."
Naruto "Thanks Ten."
Ten-ten glared at Naruto "Of course I can change my mind if you keep calling me that...Naru."
Naruto crinched his right eye "Agreed...I don't call you Ten and you don't call me Naru."
Kakashi started to laugh followed by Maya. Maya said "Well...it's time we took our leave. We will return to the order and report about this job."
Kakashi nodded "And we will take care of Amoni."
Maya and Obo bowed and Maya said "Thank you for all that you've done and perhaps we will cross paths in the future. Until then...farewell."
And they fazed out of existence. Naruto looked at the place the two were standing before and thought And still...there is something strange about that Maya person...
Naruto turned around "Let's keep this little adventure from Itachi and Ino."
Kakashi "Why?"
Naruto "Or else they are gonna nag again about how dangerous it is to fight demons and ask questions I don't want to answer yet."
Kakashi "Fine...but you know that Itachi will hear about it when I report this to the Hokage right?"
Naruto "I don't care...at that moment I am not in his presence so he can't complain about me."
Shortly after this conversation Itachi and Ino appeared and they all left together for some lunch.
They were walking and suddenly Ten-ten said "Oh no...there is Sasuke-bastard."
The group looked and indeed there was Sasuke and his squad.
Sasuke smiled when he saw the group and said "Hey you guys."
Naruto saw that Sasuke was carrying the annoying cat every genin team has to retrieve and said "Hi. So you have that annoying mission too?"
Sasuke growled "Yes...it's really annoying. I just wanted to scorch a little bit of it's hairs with my fire style jutsu but everyone protested that it wasn't right."
Naruto snickered "Well...you will get your revenge. Just wait and see when you give it back to it's...respectful owner. You will even feel sorry for the cat."
Ten-ten looked confused "Wait...you two hate each other...since when did you became buddy-buddy on each other!"
Sasuke looked at Ten-ten "After the last mission we had together I started to think about my attitude and my personality. I've been cruel to people who wished the best for me and it isn't right so I decided to work on myself."
Ten-ten was surprised and Ino cut in the conversation "Yeah it's true. He even came to my house yesterday to apoligize."
Ten-ten "Amazing. Who would have thought!"
Sasuke snorted "Don't get any ideas. Although I decided to change my attitude doesn't mean I am the ultimate mister nice guy."
Sakura "Really Sasuke...why didn't you tell me? Would you finally go with me on a date now?"
Sasuke shuddert a bit and simply said "No."
Sakura let her head down while thunderclouds were over her head.
Kiba "Don't we have a cat to deliver? Akamaru is getting anxious and I don't want to spend time with pathetic weaklings like Naruto."
Sasuke glared at Kiba "If you want to take him on...be my guest. It's your funeral. I can take you on with one hand tied behind my back so probably one sneeze of him is enough to knock you out."
Kiba growled "Yeah yeah. The great Naruto Uzumaki. We'll see when the time is right. Anyway I wanna deliver this filthy creature and complete this mission."
Naruto "Which one do you mean...the cat or the dog?"
Sasuke hold in a laugh and even Hinata had a little bit of trouble while Kiba looked like he just ate a lemon.
Kiba "Like I said...we'll see how great you are when the time is right."
And he got away with big angry steps.
The leader bowed "I apoligize for my student's behaviour. He is a bit of a hothead some times."
Naruto "No prob...anyway...I don't think we ever met before."
The leader's eyes widened a bit "I'm sorry. My name is Kurenai Yuuhi."
Naruto "Nice to meet you. My name is Naruto Uzumaki."
Kurenai "I know who you are. Almost everyone does. But now we must take our leave or else Kiba would have delivered the cat before we are present."
Kurenai rushed off followed by Hinata and Sakura. Sasuke said "Well...catch ya later Naruto. Don't forget that we will have ramen the day after tomorrow." And he rushed off after his team.
Ten-ten "I still can't believe it...he looks almost...human."
Ino "Yeah...imagine my surprise when he came to my door yesterday...I was just as shocked as you are now."
Naruto "Well he isn't so bad. He just let the bad things that happened in his life take the upperhand in his personality and now he is changing it. I think it's great...he can be a great friend if he keeps this up."
The group continued and went to the hokage tower. Strangely enough, before they entered, they saw a cat running away while a chubby lady was trying to catch it.
Naruto sighed "And there it goes again. Perhaps Itachi is right about cutting it into pieces...or at least chop it's legs off."
Kakashi "Let's just report about our missions so that can go home. I have stuff to do."
Naruto glared at Kakashi and with a mockingly voice he said "Stuff?"
Kakashi simply looked at Naruto with his visible eye and said "Yes. Stuff."
Naruto "Hmm strange...last time I heard you talk I thought you said your novel will come out next month."
Kakashi growled "That's right but I'm talking about personal stuff now."
Naruto "Fine...let's report...I also have something to do tonight."
Kakashi glared at Naruto "Now you're making me curious."
Naruto grinned but didn't say anything which made Kakashi only more curious. Itachi sighed and thought Really...sometimes I could swear those two were real brothers.
They moved into the tower and made a report. After that everyone left but the Hokage stopped Itachi and Kakashi.
Kakashi sighed and said "Is it important Hokage? I have something to do today."
Hokage "I'm fully aware of that but this is important or else I won't stop you on this day."
Itachi "What is it?"
Hokage "As you might know the chunin exams is coming up."
Itachi "I am fully aware of that."
Hokage "I want to ask you two...are your students ready for the exams?"
Kakashi "I'm surprised you asked so soon. But if you want my honest opinion...yes. In my point of view they are ready and capable to become chunin."
The hokage nodded "And what about you Itachi?"
Itachi nodded "In my opinion they are qualified to become chunin. Their teamwork is flawless and their individual skills excellent."
The hokage "The come here tomorrow morning around 9. Every squad leader will come and I will ask them the same question and they will receive the chunin application forms."
Kakashi "I see. Then I take my leave today. See you tomorrow."
Itachi saw Kakashi leave and thought Why is he in such a hurry?
At the Namikaze estate
Naruto came home and saw Dante sitting on the couch.
Dante "Yo squirt what's up?"
Naruto sighed "Nothing much. These D-ranked missions are so boring. The only highlight of the day is that I met two demon hunters of the Order of light with the mission to eliminate a 'demon' called Naruto Uzumaki and that a demon appeared."
Dante chuckled "I don't know who I feel sorry for the most...the order of light scumbags or that demon."
Naruto shrugged "Well...it seems a villager placed the order. Only I can't get one of them out of my head. One of them was a girl that..."
Dante interrupted when he whistled "A lady huh...been there, done that and it really sucks if you can't get them out of your head."
Naruto growled a bit and said "It's not like that. There was something about her that didn't feel...normal."
Dante "How did she look like?"
Naruto "She is a bit shorter than me, blond hair. She had two different eyes. One was grey and the other was red."
Dante "Two different eyes huh..."
Naruto "What...you know her?"
Dante "No...just thinking back about someone I knew some time ago. It was a fiesty woman and she could go over the top sometimes but she was good at hunting demons."
Naruto "Is she here too?"
Dante shaked his head "No...she died."
Naruto "The demons got her?"
Dante "Nope...I don't know how she died. I just received an unsigned letter that stated that she was dead and that her will stated that I got some money she owed me."
Naruto's eyes widened "What...let me get this straight...she owed YOU money? That's against your policy! You have debts with people...not the other way around."
Dante "Yeah yeah shut up."
Naruto chuckled but suddenly Kushina walked out of the kitchen.
Kushina "Hi Naruto...how was your day?"
Naruto shrugged "Nothing much...how about you?"
Kushina "Fine. I'm going out for a bit. Feel free to make something in the kitchen yourself."
Naruto "Nah that's fine. I'm having a date tonight with Haku."
Dante's eyes widened "W..what! A DATE!"
Naruto "Yeah...so?"
Kushina "Let him...he's a big boy. Anyway I must go. See you later."
Naruto "Where are you going mom?"
Kushina "At the memorial stone. Today is the day that Obito died and I decided to pay my respects."
Naruto seemed to think "Obito...I heard that name before."
Kushina sighed "It was a student of your father and Kakashi's teammate who died and gave Kakashi his sharingan."
Naruto "Oh yes now I remember. I will see you later...and give Kakashi my regards."
Kushina "Kakashi?"
Naruto "He said at the hokage tower that he wanted to report as soon as possible so that he could attend to some 'personal stuff' that wasn't his erotic novel so I think he is already there."
Kushina smiled "Guess you're right. Anyway see you later...and let me know if you got your first kiss."
Naruto growled "mom" while Dante was laughing out loud.
At the memorial stone
Kakashi was standing before the memorial stone while he was thinking about the past, about team Minato and his former teammates. Suddenly he heard a voice behind him.
Kushina "Sentimental?"
Kakashi "Always."
Kushina "Liar."
Kakashi "Perhaps."
Kushina was standing next to Kakashi "From all the people that died in that war Minato found this one the worst. He was so full of lie and always eager to help his friends...even if that went against the rules of a ninja."
Kakashi "Sometimes I wish he was still around. He would've been a great ninja but an even greater man."
Kushina "You're the only one that can hold up the name of the three deceased members of team Minato."
Kakashi eye-smiled "I do my best and try to pass on the things they teached me. That is the least I can do."
Kushina "Minato said you always was the most talented one of his team but he also said that you hardly had a personality. He said that if you developed a good personality that you would be one of the greatest ninja that Konoha ever had and it seems that he was right."
Kakashi "Thank you...Kushina."
Kushina "You know what my greatest fear is?"
Kakashi "Hmm?"
Kushina "That I see Naruto's name on this stone while I am still alive. Of course it would've mean that he died like a hero but still.."
Kakashi "I know. No parent should bury their children. Don't worry about that now and even if there is danger...I will protect him with my life...I promise."
Kushina "Thank you Kakashi...it seems you really are the carrier of the will of fire from Obita, Rin and Minato..."
The two stayed there until it was starting to get dark...
At the Namikaze estate
Finally evening arrived and Naruto put on his best clothes and saw Haku coming down in a beautiful kimono.
Naruto whistled "You look good."
Haku blushed a bit and bowed "Thank you."
Naruto "I have something for you but I don't know if you like it."
Haku looked strange "What is it."
Naruto got a black cloth "A blindfold...it's a surprise where we are going."
Haku giggled "I'm curious."
Naruto binded the blindfold and led her to the place he picked. When they finally arrived he removed the blindfold from Haku's eyes and Haku could clearly see they were on top of the mountain where the hokage faces were carved out.
She could see a table with candles with delicious food on it and the lights of the village completed the romantic scene.
She started to giggle "Never thought you would be the romantic type."
Naruto smiled "There are many things you don't know about me Haku. I'm a man with many talents."
They talked, they laughed and they ate. They had a really good time. It has been a long time since Haku laughed this much. Naruto had the strange effect on her that she could feel totally secured with him. It was something she couldn't explain...it just was.
She told Naruto that she wanted to be a ninja that supported her team with her kekkei genkai but she also wanted to learn medical ninjutsu.
Naruto smiled "You would do great as a medical ninja."
Haku "What makes you say that?"
Naruto's smile grew wider "Everytime I see you, you heal me of my bad mood."
Haku chuckled "You big flirter."
They kept on talking and teasing a little and eventually they went closer and closer together. Soon they were lying on their backs beside each other, looking at the sky that was filled with beautiful stars.
Haku "Naruto...do you think...Zabuza is watching from up there?"
Naruto looked at Haku "Where does this come from?"
Haku "I was just thinking..."
Naruto looked at the stars "I don't know..."
Haku "Don't you ever think that people that died look down on you from the skies?"
Naruto "I don't know...I never thought about that...because I never had friends before and the people I consider my friends now are all alive."
Haku "And...what about your father?"
Naruto "It would be a comforting thought but I never thought about it. I hope it's true so that he can see what I've become...but on the other side I am afraid that he can see it because his last wish to the villagers of Konoha was rejected."
Haku "Good and bad things happen. it's just a part of life we have to deal with if we want it or not."
Naruto smiled "Indeed. I try to keep things positive although most of the time it's hard...you know...memories from the past and stuff like that."
Haku looked at the stars. She knew about Naruto's past and the reason behind it. He told her some time ago and she couldn't believe how the villagers treated him...no still treat them. Although they don't use physical force anymore she could still see the icy stares and hear the terrible whispered conversations.
Haku "I don't know how you do it Naruto...normal people would have gone insane or would at least hate the villagers. But most of the time you are happy and you're goofing around."
Naruto "Goofing around?"
Haku smiled "Did you really think I wouldn't notice? You've been holding back from the start...even when you were fighting that demon. You're just holding power back so that your teammates won't get scared of you and call you a freak."
Naruto smiled "You really seem to know me...Haku."
Haku smiled back "What can I say...you're really interesting."
Naruto "I'm not the only one...you are too."
Haku giggled "You know what else is interesting?"
Naruto gave Haku a confused look "What?"
Haku "This..." And she kissed Naruto on the lips. Naruto was surprised because he didn't expect it so suddenly but the next second he answered her kiss.
The kiss seemed to last an eternity but finally they broke up and deeply stared into each others eyes. They cuddled a little bit while they were still watching at the stars and eventually they went home.
Everyone was already sound asleep and Naruto kissed Haku goodnight and went to bed because who knows what will happen tomorrow.
Mnarutodbz "And this seems like a perfect moment to stop...after all the romantics."
Naruto
"WHAT! What's so wrong about it!"
Mnarutodbz shrugs "Nothing...why are you being so defensive all of the sudden?"
Naruto "Because you make it sound like it's bad."
Mnarutodbz "No I'm not...anyway...what I wanted to say before sissy boy here interrupted me; Don't forget to review and/or ask questions to the characters!"
Naruto "I show you who is the sissy here! EAT THIS!" And Naruto farts near Mnarutodbz who is gasping for air.
Mnarutodbz "Damn the inventor of chili!" passes out...
