Naruto doesn't cry

by Mnarutodbz

Naruto is adopted by Dante. A few years later he returns. What kind of surprises will he have for the people of Konoha. No yoai. Harem.

10. Chapter 9: The missing people part 1

Mnarutodbz "Guess who's back!"

Vergil let out a sigh of annoyance "You're still here?"

Mnarutodbz nods "Yep and I plan to stay…fortunately for you and the rest of the cast."

Vergil "What do you mean?"

Mnarutodbz "Without me the story Naruto doesn't cry wouldn't exist in this form. Of course you would exist in the videogames and other fan fictions and some of them are good…but let's take the worst case scenario…" Mnarutodbz goes behind his computer and starts to type "Here Vergil look at this one."

Vergil reads the fan fiction and the further he came into the story, the more freaked out he became. Eventually Vergil couldn't take it anymore and said "What kind of idiot would write these kind of stories!"

Mnarutodbz "Yaoi people (Not just normal Yaoi but Jiraiya style yaoi…or in other words…sexually frustrated people)."

Vergil had a look in his eyes that demanded an answer and Mnarutodbz said "I call them like that if people write stories about anime, manga, normal series or videogames that involves a lot of erotic scenes. Of course I'm not prudish but sometimes they even have small children have sex…I mean…how would you react to that?"

Vergil snorted and said "I would kill them."

Mnarutodbz laughs out loud "Good one. Anyway before I answer the reviews I would like to make something clear. Someone wrote a review why I wouldn't write lemons but that I did wrote that a 4-year old was crucified. Well it's simply because it's not purely for the gruesome picture but also to symbolize the hatred the villagers have for Naruto. I could write less gruesome scenarios but that one came to me and I thought it was a good opening."

Naruto growled "Sadistic bastard."

Mnarutodbz "Get a life…oh no you can't because you're fictional…my bad."

Naruto "…I hate you…"

Mnarutodbz "Good for you…now let's go to the reviews that I selected today."

The weird kid "Awesome chapter. It was nice and long (That's what she said. Lol). I have a question for Naruto. Who is the most attractive woman in the village? And one for Neji. *Think he forgot a few lines…reconstruction* How did Hinata's chest feel like when you struck her there? Were they soft, firm, or just plain heaven?"

Neji looks surprised "Someone asked ME a question!"

Naruto "Get a number you asshole! The first question is for me." Naruto coughs and says "Well it's hard to say but…"

Suddenly Haku comes in and Naruto startles "Well…I would say Haku…hehehe" and under his breath Naruto says "AndhinataInoKurenai…*THE LIST JUST WON'T END!*"

Neji "My turn. It's hard to say…it could be either of those three. It's hard to tell because she wears so much clothing. Didn't know if that soft thing was her chest or her jacket."

Naruto's face blanks out and says "Ehm…you do REALIZE that you two are family?"

Neji looks at Naruto with his Byakugan "Yeah so?"

Naruto "…sicko."

Mnarutodbz nods "I agree…next review."

Storylover213 "Oh I feel sorry for Neji. That poor, poor bastard is about to get a one way ticket for the ass whooping express! Now, normally I would insult you Naruto but I won't. All I have to say is that you will beat Neji so bad that he can't stand for months and humiliate him or I swear to Kami I will rag on you so hard you will be crying to your mother."

Naruto reads the review, gets his personal agenda and a pen and writes "At chunin exams: kick Neji's ass and humi…humili…embarrass him…got it!"

Kakashi does a little victory dance. Surprised, Mnarutodbz walks towards him and asks "Why are you moving like an idiot Kakashi?"

Kakashi "He didn't make fun of me…"

Mnarutodbz "Please keep at your normal character…you're too cool to do 'dances'"

Suddenly Gai walks in and says "Well done Kakashi…you finally understanding the springtime of youth!"

Kakashi's face blanks out and says "I see what you mean Mnarutodbz…I will remind it in the future."

Gai "Come on Kakashi! Now dance together!"

Kakashi looks into space and suddenly says "Did you say something?"

Gai "AWWW DAMMIT KAKASHI! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ACT SO COOL!"

Flamefoxvixen "NNOOOOO! Don't kill the writer Gaara...T^T...that would make me cry cause he wouldn't be able to update anymore...and that would make me cry...

Any who! My OC Kajikage has a question for both Dante and Vergil:Kajikage "How do the two of you manage to put up with human teenagers? The one my writer makes me watch over is a teenage girl! I need some advice! I'm only a former demon lord now all i am is a giant scythe that she can't use right! I need your advice!"

*cough cough* now on to my questions: Gaara, I am so proud of you! I knew you weren't a bad person...at least if you're not annoyed anyway. Hey! Gaara what kind of food do you like? I can cook just about anything ^^.

Now for Dante, *smacks Dante with an iron frying pan* i wanted to do from the time you started whining about your pizza. It's not the end of the world if you don't have it. Anyway, I have to say that you are a good person for taking in Naruto like that. Just for that i am going to give you a hug *glomps Dante and runs off to a safe place*

and now for Vergil, YOU ARE THE MOST AWESOME PERSON EVER! /cough cough not as good as Itachi cough* sry allergies, anyway can i have your autograph? Please?

That's it for now so update soon and i am open to be a beta if you wish for one ^^ *waves bye* Jaa ne!"

Naruto looks at the review and cries out "WOW!"

Mnarutodbz nods "This is a long one. Well first Dante and Vergil."

Dante looks like he is thinking "How to handle teenagers. Well…that's easy. Endure them and if you are having a bad day…tie them up and gag them until your bad mood is over."

Vergil "Or just read a book about how to treat teenagers."

Dante "Books are for whimps."

Vergil "And that would explain to the readers why Dante's IQ is just as high as a room temperature."

Dante "Huh?"

Vergil "Exactly."

Gaara "Everything except cookies."

Temari "But I thought you loved my cookies!"

Gaara sighs "Do you remember that your cat Munchkin died?"

Temari nods and Gaara says "And now you know why."

Dante gets hit by a frying pan and the next thing he knows he is being hugged and the girl runs away. Dante looks surprised and says "What the hell was that!"

Mnarutodbz explained what happened and Dante said "Don't know what was worse…the frying pan or the hug."

Suddenly someone in a bright orange GI steps in. He had black spiky hair, black eyes and he looks quite muscular and he asks "Did someone say frying pan? Is she here?"

Mnarutodbz looks strange and says "NO! Chi-chi is not here Goku! Go back to YOUR show!"

Goku looks disappointed and leaves. Mnarutodbz says "Next review."

Naruhina fan "YEAH, GAARA! Hey, Mnarutodbz, you should let Gaara get a devil arm. And now for questions/comments:

Naruto: Hello? I got pizza flavored-ramen! And you nor your mom are getting any! *waves bowl of pizza flavored ramen in front of Naruto and Kushina*

Vergil: PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! MY COMMENT LAST CHAPTER WAS JUST SOME DARK HUMOR! Or was it dry? Either way, it was facetious (not to be taken seriously). Any comment I make that appears to be an insult is not an insult, just a joke. Anyway, think you can teach Naruto the Dark Slayer Style, as well as make him a bastardized version of Yamato, much like how Repent is a bastardized version of Rebellion?

Dante: Remember Kyrie? Well, do this: think of her in a clothing style similar to that of Trish, with a flirtatious personality. Do you like the image I helped create?

Gaara: You don't like chocolate? Well, how about I give you three cookies. *tosses Gaara 3 cookies* One's peanut butter, one's oatmeal, and one's a sugar cookie with frosting. Tell me which one you like better.

Mnarutodbz: So, you doing my challenge? Also, HA! GAARA JUST PWNED YOU!"

Kushina yells like crazy while Naruto is trying to hold her back. Kushina suddenly screams "GIVE ME THAT RAMEN SADISTIC PERSON!"

Naruto says "Stop mom…you can't do anything about it. Just let it go!"

Kushina "Over my dead body! I want pizza-flavored Ramen!"

Mnarutodbz gets his tranquilizer gun and shoots at Kushina. Kushina falls down unconscious and Mnarutodbz yells "YEAH! Direct hit! Now for Vergil's question about the bastardized Yamato."

Vergil "No."

Naruto "Why not Vergil!"

Vergil "Because I don't want to."

Naruto "Then I'll ask Mnarutodbz!"

Mnarutodbz "NO!...or yes…hard to tell. Now the…Kyrie in Trish's clothes question…this is getting weird…"

Dante reads his part and says "I can't picture it."

Mnarutodbz "Why not?"

Dante "Trish's clothing is one of a kind."

Mnarutodbz "What do you mean with that?"

Dante "It only suits Trish's black soul."

Suddenly a hard 'Boom' was heard and Dante immediately grabbed his ear and shouted "What the hell was that!"

In the distance Dante and Mnarutodbz hear Trish's voice "I HEARD THAT!"

Gaara dodges the cookies and says "I hate cookies! Get them away from me! SAND COFFIN!"

Saiga izu "I love your story; the apparent ease that naruto and Dante have makes everything seem a log more harass.

To naruto: if you are rich because of the fourth's fortune, why do you not hire either teuchi (the ramen stand guy) or an akamichi chef to open a pizza stand?

To Dante: dude how old are you?

To Virgil: you should get into a race with the speed freak gai might(green spandex wearing freak)"

To mnarutodbz: where is Beowulf and the guitar succubus? Oh and also Agni and rhudra...they are my tag devil arms

Naruto "I can't do that! That would be immoral and irresponsible…hey why didn't I do that?"

Mnarutodbz "Because I didn't write it in this story. Naruto only owns a big house…there was no indication that the fourth Hokage left him a fortune."

Suddenly a carebear appears and says "The greatest fortune is friends who care about BOOOOOMMMM! Suddenly Dante, Naruto, Vergil and Mnarutodbz are holding smoking guns.

Mnarutodbz shudders and says "I really hate those things! They creep me out! Next question!"

Dante "I'm…old…very old…but young at heart."

Vergil "You don't know how old you are do you?"

Dante "Noooo…do you know how old I am?"

Vergil "I don't know and care."

Dante laughs and says "Gotcha! You don't know how old you are either!"

Vergil looks shocked and says "O-of course I do."

Dante "We're twins so if you don't know my age you don't know yours…so take that sucker!"

Vergil "I'll be the bigger man and walk away." Suddenly Vergil throws two daggers in Dante's legs and while Dante fell down Vergil said "WALK…away. Just like I did to that guy in green spandex."

Mnarutodbz "And the devil arms are in the Namikaze estate."

Vergil "We've covered all of the reviews you picked."

Mnarutodbz "It seems so."

Vergil "Shouldn't we…use a disclaimer or something?"

Gaara "May I do it?"

Mnarutodbz "No…you did it last time remember? After you let me get beat up by Tsunade. Oh by the way…"

Mnarutodbz does some hand signs and cries out "Writer's art; Nightmare jutsu!"

Suddenly a giant cookie appears and it slowly walks towards Gaara "EAT ME…EAT ME…"

Gaara's eyes widen and he says "NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Gaara use his sand to stop the large cookie but it doesn't work. Suddenly Gaara said "Desperate times call for desperate measures…Play possum jutsu!

Mnarutodbz's eyes widens "Oh crap…we're all going to die!"

Suddenly Shukaku comes out and with a terrible attack he destroyed the cookie and said "YEAH BABY! DISCLAIMER TIME!"

Disclaimer: Mnarutodbz doesn't own Naruto, Devil may cry nor any characters used in this FANFICTION!...BABY! NOW KILL THE REST!

---

Naruto was lying in his bed. He was just looking at the ceiling and thought I'm in the second part of the chunin exams and I have to fight Neji. I can't wait until I get my hands on him.

He stopped his thoughts when someone knocked on his door. Naruto said "Come in."

Kushina opened the door and said "Naruto you have a visitor."

Naruto "Hi mom. Who is it?"

Kushina "It's Kakashi."

Naruto got out of his bed and went downstairs. He saw Kakashi sitting on the couch and said "Hey Kakashi. What's up?"

Kakashi "Hey Naruto. Everything is fine. Actually I came here because I have some news for you."

Naruto "What is it?"

Kakashi started to scratch the back of his head and said "Well…according to the rules I and Itachi should prepare you for the second part of the chunin exams but Itachi is very busy with Sasuke and well…with my missions and Ino I would barely have the time to give you the training you should have and…"

Naruto smiled "I see and now you're here to tell me to train on my own."

Kakashi "Not quite. I want to try to convince Jiraiya to train you."

Naruto "I see but why are you here first while you could pay Jiraiya a visit?"

Kakashi "Well…it would be easier if you came with me when I asked him."

Naruto "Too scared to do it yourself are we? Fine, let's track Jiraiya down."

Kakashi "You don't mind do you? That Jiraiya trains you instead of me?"

Naruto smiled "I don't mind. Either way I'm being trained by a pervert."

Kakashi cramped up a bit and said "Correction…perverts with useful techniques at their disposal."

The two left the house. They went to the house of Jiraiya and Tsunade and they knocked on the door. Tsunade opened it and she was surprised when she saw Kakashi and Naruto. She said "Kakashi? Naruto? What are you two doing here?"

Kakashi "I'm sorry to disturb you Tsunade but do you know where we can find Jiraiya? I'm going to ask if he has the time to train Naruto over here."

Tsunade "I don't know where he is but I don't think you will have a hard time to convince him."

Kakashi "And why is that?"

Tsunade let out a sigh and said "I'm busy with analyzing the blood I got from Dante and Naruto and every time I'm conducting research Jiraiya heads of and find something else for him to do."

Kakashi "I see. I will look at the bar next. Perhaps he's drinking Sake again. How is your research going?"

Tsunade "It's pretty hard. That devil blood is strong and complex but don't worry…I'll find a way to discover it secrets!"

Kakashi and Naruto said their goodbye's and went to the bar. Jiraiya wasn't there and Kakashi asked the owner if he saw Jiraiya but the owner started to shake his head.

Naruto and Kakashi were looking for an hour before they saw something. They were walking near the women's bathhouse and saw two persons sitting behind it. They decided to investigate it and they were very surprised to see Jiraiya and…Blitz there!

Blitz and Jiraiya didn't notice them and Blitz whispered just hard enough so that Naruto and Kakashi could hear him "Jiraiya…you're the dog man! This position is perfect! You can see every birthmark from here…let alone the bigger things."

Jiraiya chuckled and said "How do you think I wrote my books? This is one of my greatest abilities!"

Kakashi inhaled deeply and it looked like he was ready to shout but he stopped when Naruto poked him. Kakashi looked at Naruto and Naruto smirked evilly and put both of his hands together and only his index and middle fingers were sticking out.

Kakashi didn't know what Naruto meant at first but then it hit him and almost let out a laugh of joy. He and Naruto sneaked close to Jiraiya and Blitz and when they were both close enough they yelled in unison: Konoha's hidden secret Taijutsu technique: One thousand years of Death!

Just before the technique hit Jiraiya said "No please dddooonnn''tttt!"

It was too late and both perverts were hit by the technique, sending them through the wall and into the women's bathhouse, causing panic and chaos. Half naked girls screamed in terror and gathered their belongings and ran away as fast as their little legs could take them.

Blitz slowly got up and said "Jiraiya…what just happened?"

Jiraiya groaned and said "Kakashi used his most terrible Taijutsu technique on us."

While the two perverts were recovering Naruto laughed out loud and said "Got you there you pervy sage!"

30 minutes later

Blitz already left the group while Jiraiya, Naruto and Kakashi started to sit down near the lake. Jiraiya said "Let's forget about that thing what happened 30 minutes ago. So, you two were looking for me. Why?"

Kakashi said "Well…you know it's the responsibility for a jonin leader to train their pupils for the chunin exams right?"

Jiraiya nodded and Kakashi continued "Well…Itachi is too busy with training Sasuke and I'm going to have my hands full with my missions and training Ino, who obviously need more work than Naruto."

Jiraiya laughed out loud and said "So you want me to train Naruto over here because you're too lazy to do it? Forget it!"

Kakashi wanted to bring in some good arguments to win Jiraiya over but Naruto smiled and said "Jiraiya…I have a proposition for you." And while Naruto was speaking he got a pack of cards out of his trench coat and continued "We'll play poker and the first who wins three hands wins. If I win you will train me seriously…"

Jiraiya started to look interested and said "And…if I win?"

Naruto "Then you can hide in my house while Tsunade is researching."

Jiraiya seemed to think but suddenly he smiled and said "Fine, it's a deal but I must warn you…I'm pretty good at poker!"

Naruto dealt two cards and laid five cards on the ground and Jiraiya looked at his hand. It wasn't a bad hand, pocket kings and there was a king on the board which gave him three of a kind. Jiraiya nodded and said "I'll play this hand." Naruto smirked and said "Me too." And he showed his hand. Naruto was holding pocket aces and since there was an ace on the table he also had three of a kind but higher than Jiraiya.

Jiraiya won the second hand with a flush, Naruto won the third with a fullhouse and the fourth was won by Jiraiya with a straight.

The score was 2 against 2 and that means that the next hand would win. Naruto dealt the cards and then showed the board. It was ace of hearts, ace of clubs, 2 of hearts, king of spades and 4 of hearts.

Jiraiya looked at his hand and he saw that fate gave him pocket aces this time around. With the two other aces on the board it gave him four of a kind…a very rare hand. He heard Naruto say "I'm in."

Jiraiya laughed out loud and said "Me too. Too bad Naruto but you'll lose this one. Four of a kind. Read them and weep!"

Naruto smirked and said "Too bad indeed…for you." Jiraiya looked surprised and Naruto showed him his cards. It was 3 and 5 of hearts, giving him a straight flush! Jiraiya was shocked that he lost and said "H-How did you do that?"

Naruto shrugged and said "I don't know but I'm extremely lucky when it comes to gambling…I don't know why."

Jiraiya sighed and said "Guess that means that I have to train you."

Naruto smirked and nodded "Yep but there is a consolation for you."

Jiraiya "And that is?"

Naruto kept on smirking "While you are training me you are still avoiding Tsunade."

Jiraiya looked dumbfounded but then he started to laugh and soon Naruto and Kakashi followed his example.

The group parted with Jiraiya's promise that he would start Naruto's training tomorrow. He went on his way home. While he was walking in the village he could feel the people glaring at him with all of their hate. Suddenly he felt a pressure on his back but immediately noticed that it was Haku.

Naruto smiled and said "Haku? What are you doing here?"

Haku snuggled her head in Naruto's neck and said "I missed you so I skipped class."

Naruto "I missed you too Haku but what if you miss something important?"

Haku "It isn't something important. It's about the pressure points and I already mastered that."

Naruto's smile got bigger and said "So what do you want to do?"

Haku "How about a nice dinner. I'm starving."

Naruto looked around and he pointed towards a good restaurant and said "How about there?"

Haku nodded but then she said "Isn't that a classy place? Isn't that too expansive?"

Naruto chuckled and said "Don't worry. I've gathered some money in my ninja career and my demon hunting career so don't worry about it."

Haku nodded and they walked towards the restaurant. They entered it and sat down.

It didn't take long before a waiter appeared with a big smile on his face which almost immediately disappeared when he noticed who his clients were. He looked at Naruto and said "We don't serve people like you here so get away."

Naruto "I'll go away after I got something to eat."

The waiter said "Like I said…we don't serve to people like you."

Haku said "Naruto, let's just get out of here."

Suddenly the waiter felt something sticky on his neck. He reached for it and suddenly he was holding a piece of meat in his hand. He looked in the direction it could have come from and saw Anko Mitarashi sitting there.

He said "Did you just throw a piece of meat at me?"

Anko just nodded and said "Yeah. After I saw how you treat you customers I lost my appetite."

The waiter send a glare of hate towards Anko and said "If you're in league with this disgusting individual I must insist your departure miss."

Anko smiled and said "I wonder what the Hokage would say about this event. I suppose he would close down the place immediately."

The waiter startled and suddenly the owner of the restaurant appeared and asked "Is there a problem?"

Anko nodded and said "It seems your waiter is picky on who he should serve and who not."

The owner looked at Naruto and said to the waiter "I warned you so many times that you should leave your personal feelings aside from your job. You're fired."

The waiter looked surprised and said "But sir…"

The owner said "No, I don't want to hear any more of you…I don't even want to see you anymore. Get out of my restaurant!"

The waiter sends a glare of hate towards Naruto and rushed out of the place. The owner turned to Naruto, bowed and said "My apologies for my former employee. He's a bit of a troublemaker."

Naruto nodded and said "I understand."

The waiter said "So what will it be?"

Naruto "I would like the chicken. What about you Haku?"

Haku "Hmm…I would like the beef."

The owner nodded and turned towards Anko and asked "Something else for you miss Mitarashi?"

Anko smiled and said "Just some dango as dessert please."

The owner nodded again and left to give the orders to the chef. The food arrived within ten minutes and Haku immediately wanted to dig in but Naruto stopped her.

Haku said "What's the matter? Aren't you hungry?"

Naruto sniffed and said "Something's wrong here."

He looked around and saw a bird sitting near the window. He got a piece of the chicken and fed it to the bird, which welcomed this treat. The bird ate it but suddenly it started to convulse and then it fell down. The bird was dead.

Haku's eyes widened and asked "What just happened?"

Naruto glared towards the kitchen and said "Those bastards tried to poison me!"

Anko got up as well and while she got up the chair fell down. The sudden sound brought out the owner and the owner asked "Is there a problem?"

Naruto "Nothing much except the fact that your food is poisonous." And Naruto pointed towards the bird. The owner paled and said "How can this be? The chef is absolutely trustworthy and he didn't even know that you were the customer…not that it matters to him anyway but still…"

Naruto "Escort me to the kitchen and let me talk to this 'chef'."

The owner nodded and Anko said "I'm coming too."

The owner led them to the kitchen and the chef said "Boss? Is something the matter?"

The owner of the restaurant nodded and said "The chicken is poisonous."

The chef startled and said "How can that be? I prepared that bird myself and I know for sure that I didn't put any poison in it!"

Naruto could see from his face that the chef wasn't lying and Naruto asked "Did you have your eyes on the chicken the entire time?"

The chef said "Yes…although…no…I had to go to the freezer to get the beef!"

Anko went closer and went through her knees. She looked at the ground and said "There is some dirt on the ground…and it's leading towards the backdoor."

Naruto "If we follow that trail we will know who tried to poison me!"

Anko nodded and said "Let's meet that guy. Guess we both want to exchange some words with him."

Haku, who followed Naruto, said "Not only the two of you…me as well!"

Anko walked to the backdoor and opened it. She saw clear footprints in the sand and it went to the back alley. She, Naruto and Haku went into the alley. No one was there…although…Naruto heard a noise just behind a big wooden crate.

Naruto's arm was suddenly covered in chakra and he punched at the crate. With the power of an explosion it was torn apart, revealing the one who was trying to poison Naruto…it was the waiter who recently lost his job!

Naruto looked at the waiter and said "I thought I was hunting a big fish but it seems that it was nothing more than a pathetic rat."

The waiter wanted to run away but suddenly he was trapped by a prison made out of icy spears. Haku said "Darn I missed…I was aiming for the crown jewels…"

Anko "No abusing please…at least not now. I will take him into custody."

The waiter smirked and said "Like I would stay in prison…my friends will come to free me!"

Anko looked at the waiter and said "Who ever said you would go to jail. You are going to Ibiki together with me. The fact that this young lady would castrate you would seem a happy dream when Ibiki and I are done with you."

Anko walked towards the waiter, grabbed him by his shirt and dragged him THROUGH the icy spears. The waiter was screaming to release him but Anko just strengthened her grip as she kept on walking.

Naruto and Haku went back inside and the owner asked "Did you get him?"

Naruto nodded and explained that it was the former waiter. The owner was shocked and said "I never thought he was capable of that! The chef prepared another chicken and beef for you two…but where is Miss Mitarashi?"

Naruto "She took your former employee into custody…why?"

The owner sighed and said "She hasn't paid for her meal yet."

Naruto "Put it on our tab. That way I can repay the fact she stood up for us against that waiter."

Naruto and Haku started to eat and this time around the food was pretty good. Naruto asked the bill and the owner gave it to him and Naruto paid for the food he, Haku and Anko ate.

Naruto and Haku just left when Anko came back and she said to the owner "My apologies for leaving without paying but I had to take care of something. How much do I owe you?"

The owner started to shake his head and said "Nothing. Mister Umami already paid for your meal."

Anko looked surprised and said "That's pretty decent of him. I normally eat here when I receive a bonus or else I couldn't pay for it."

The owner smiled and said "He didn't even flinch when he saw the bill. He said he was happy to pay it because you stood up against my previous waiter."

Anko was thinking and she said "Strange kid. Decent but strange."

Somewhere else in Konoha

Orochimaru was in his secret hideout. Suddenly Kabuto appeared. Orochimaru let out a sigh of relief and asked "And did you find anything out about that Uzumaki kid or that Vergil person?"

Kabuto started to shake his head and said "I used all my skills and charms to get the information but it seems they know just as much about them as we do."

Orochimaru looked like he was thinking and said "Well…than we have to take a more direct approach…we'll take someone who might know something about him and…"

Kabuto interrupted and said "Would that be wise Lord Orochimaru? If something goes wrong it could mess up your plans."

Orochimaru thought it over and said "Guess you're right…do you have any good ideas Orion?"

Orion "Well…why doesn't Kabuto sneak into the village archives and search for the files containing information about that Naruto person?"

Kabuto smiled and said "I've done that already but unlike other ninja the Hokage doesn't have any useful information about him."

Orion "Have you also investigated if someone outside of the villages might know something about that guy?"

Kabuto looked surprised and said "I haven't thought of that yet!"

Orion "Than I suggest you would try that."

Kabuto immediately disappeared. Orochimaru slowly said "I don't know why but that Naruto kid won't leave my mind…there is something off with that child."

Orion shrugged and said "Perhaps you're intrigued that he was able to stand up to you."

Orochimaru "I guess but when I looked at him he reminded me of someone but I can't quite remember who."

At the Namikaze estate

Naruto was training on his own in the training room. He removed the trench coat so that he could move more easily. He was just busy with some sword exercises when someone opened the door. Naruto was very surprised when he saw Itachi.

Naruto asked "Itachi? What are you doing here?"

Itachi "I wanted to check up on you. Sasuke is resting now after a hard training session."

Naruto nodded and said "Right…well I'm fine. Jiraiya will come tomorrow to help with my training."

Itachi nodded and said "It seems you found yourself a good substitute teacher."

Naruto smiled but suddenly he looked serious and asked "Are you okay Itachi? You look a bit pale."

It was true. Itachi was very pale and he looked pretty sick. Itachi said "I'm alright. It's nothing I can't manage."

Suddenly Itachi started to cough and suddenly his hand was covered in blood. He looked hazy and fell down.

Naruto started to yell "MOM!"

It took less than a minute before Kushina entered the room and said "What is…" she stopped when she saw Itachi on the ground and Naruto said "Run to Tsunade's house as fast as you can. Something's seriously wrong with Itachi!"

Kushina nodded and ran away to get Tsunade. Naruto kneeled down next to Itachi and turned him around. It looked like Itachi had trouble breathing.

Naruto thought This isn't good…do you know something about medicine Kyuu?

Naruto heard Kyuubi's voice in his head and she said A little bit…let me out so that I can examine him.

Naruto let the Kyuubi out and she started the examination immediately. After a while she started to shake her head and said I'm sorry Naruto but he is suffering from a serious disease. It can't be cured by our medicines.

Naruto looked frustrated and said "Isn't there anything I can do!"

The Kyuubi seemed to think and said Perhaps there is one way but…it is risky and I don't know if it will cure him.

Naruto "What is it?"

The Kyuubi said Well…I only heard legends and the theory of it but there is something called 'the bond'. Since the beginning of time it has only been used 1 time when a demon fell in love with a mortal and tried to save her with this technique. She couldn't take it and died.

Naruto asked "If we don't do anything he will die anyway right?"

The Kyuubi nodded and said But no one really knows what will happen if it succeeds. It could be that we make matters worse and remember, the last time it was used a demon performed it. The blood of a devil…even a half devil is much stronger than demonic blood.

Naruto seemed to think things over. Although he had the chance to save Itachi, there was a big risk and insecurity if he decided to go through with this. He looked at Itachi, who started to look worse with every second and Naruto said "Let's do it Kyuu!"

The Kyuubi looked serious and said As you wish. She stretched out her hand and a dagger appeared and she said Give me your hand Naruto.

Naruto gave Kyuubi his hand and she made a cut in it. She did the same with Itachi's hand and said Naruto, take Itachi's hand with your wounded hand and whatever you do…don't let go understand?

Naruto nodded and did what the Kyuubi wanted him to do. The Kyuubi started to speak in a language long forgotten by humans. Suddenly wind started blow in the room while there wasn't any way wind could reach them. Outside dark clouds gathered and lightening filled the area.

Suddenly Naruto felt some pressure on his body and Itachi started to breath heavier than before. Small sparks of lightning came from their hands. Suddenly a small shockwave appeared and all the chaos that started when the ritual began stopped.

Naruto looked at the Kyuubi and said "Did it work?"

The Kyuubi said I don't know. We have to wait. He either survives the night or he doesn't. It's as simple as that.

Naruto heard the front door open and he said "Come back Kyuu…my mother mustn't find out that we did something to Itachi."

The Kyuubi nodded and returned inside Naruto's body. Tsunade saw Itachi lying down and immediately started an examination on him. She listened to his heart and she said "I think the worst is over but I would recommend bringing him to the hospital just to be sure. I will examine his blood for any kind of diseases."

Naruto nodded. This came out perfectly because now Itachi would be monitored by the nurses and they could step in if anything happens. He said "Do that Tsunade and keep a close eye on him."

Tsunade turned to Kushina and said "Kushina, can you get a blanket while I go to the hospital to get some people and a stretcher so that we can transport him?"

Kushina nodded and went upstairs to get the blanket while Tsunade went outside. Naruto was alone with Itachi and thought Did I do the right thing?

Inside the Kyuubi said You did all you could. If you didn't do it he would have died within weeks, perhaps a few years if he used medication to prolong his life at the cost of severe pain.

Naruto Perhaps but I wish I knew what will happen if it succeeds. Will he be the same or will he be different?

The Kyuubi sighed and said You really think too much. You can also think that a meteor will hit Konoha. Things will go like they should and what's done is done.

Naruto Guess you're right…nonetheless I will keep my eye on Itachi. If something goes wrong I can step in…it's my responsibility if something happens because of the technique you just performed.

5 hours later

Itachi was lying on a hospital bed. He looked peaceful…almost like he was having a nap. But inside his head it wasn't as peaceful…

In his head Itachi was in a dark void. He looked around but he saw nothing except pure darkness. He thought to himself Am I dead or am I just dreaming?

A voice from the darkness said "You're very much alive Itachi Uchiha…even better…you're more alive than ever."

Itachi looked around and his eyes pierced through the darkness. Even with his sharingan he couldn't penetrate it and the voice said "Your sharingan doesn't work here…because the sharingan can't be casted on the user itself."

Itachi looked surprised and said "Am I in my mind?"

The voice chuckled and said "Bingo."

Itachi said "But why can't I see anything? Why is everything dark?"

The voice said "Because you are not thinking of anything. Until recently you thought you were dead…no wonder actually because you almost were. Just think about a place and the darkness will disappear."

Itachi thought about something and suddenly a forest appeared…the forest he usually practiced in. He looked in front of him and he saw a man who resembled him a bit. He had the same kind of hairstyle and the same facial features. The only thing what set them apart was the hair color, the eye color and their clothes.

The hair color of the man was silver. The eyes was yellow, not bright yellow but more like the eyes of a cat. The man wore a long black cloak with silver tribals on it.

Itachi looked at him and said "Who are you? Are you a creation of my mind?"

The man laughed and said "No Itachi, I'm not a phantasy. You know who I am…you can feel it…deep inside."

Itachi looked like he was thinking but suddenly said "The…devil arm I obtained?"

The man showed a big smirk and said "Yes. It's me…Abyss."

Itachi looked very surprised to say the least and said "But I thought you were…"

Abyss smirked and said "Just a weapon? Now you have hurt my feelings. No, devil arms are more than just weapons…they are allies, extensions of our masters will."

Itachi "But why do you…?"

Abyss "Look just like you? That's simple; when you obtained me I became part of you and you a part of me."

Itachi "But why are we here? Why are we talking like this? What happened?"

Abyss started to shake his head and said "So many questions. Oh well, since we have enough time I can better explain. Normally we devil arms don't manifest like this. We keep lurking, deep inside, waiting for a call from the master to come out. Only this time something else happened…do you remember what it was Itachi?"

Itachi seemed to think and suddenly remembered something…

Flashback

Itachi was standing in front of Naruto but suddenly he had to cough and he could feel his consciousness slipping. He lost his balance and suddenly it went dark. He was in a dark void but in the distance he saw something…it looked like a portal or something. Suddenly Itachi felt like the portal wanted to suck him in.

He looked everywhere to grab hold of so that he wouldn't be sucked in by the portal but there was nothing but the ground he was standing on. He could feel that he was coming closer and closer to the portal and suddenly a lot of different arms were coming out of it, trying to grab his legs and pull him in.

Itachi started to feel helpless as the arms started to pull him in but suddenly he felt something. It was like someone stabbed his hand and when he looked at it he saw a pretty deep cut. The next second lightning erupted from it and after that purple energy leaked from the wound. The purple energy enveloped Itachi's body and with a loud, inhuman scream the arms let go of Itachi and the portal disappeared…

End of flashback

Abyss smiled and said "I see you remembered…"

Itachi nodded and said "Yes although I don't really know what happened. Did you save me?"

Abyss started to shake his head and said "My powers aren't capable of that. My powers only manifest together with the one that wields me. The energy you saw was devil energy."

Itachi slowly repeated to himself "Devil energy…Naruto?"

Abyss started to speak again "I don't know what that…Naruto person did but you owe him big time and you should return the favor. Actually…you don't have much of a choice."

Itachi "What do you mean?"

Abyss smiled and said "Now I will explain the reason why I am here…I have to explain what happened before you go mental when you wake up and notice that something is wrong. That Naruto did save your life but whatever he used to do that caused that you two are now…'connected'."

Itachi "Connected in what way?"

Abyss "It's something like a contract. You gain certain things he has while he gains certain things you have…you will understand when you wake up."

Itachi "What do you mean with that?"

Abyss suddenly looked up and said "I guess our time is almost up. Search me up in your dreams when you need me…and call me in battle of course…I'm craving for a good fight once in a while."

Abyss started to float away but Itachi yelled after him "But what did you mean with that I have to return the favor!"

But Abyss couldn't answer anymore because the forest disappeared and a big white room appeared. He looked around and saw no one. Just next to his bed there was a vase with fresh flowers in them. Suddenly the door opened and a nurse came in. The nurse saw that Itachi was awake and said "You're already awake?"

Itachi slowly sat up and said "I thought you people were hoping for that…most nurses do when it concerns patients."

The nurse laughed and said "Of course we were hoping for that but we wouldn't suspect that before tomorrow. I'll get the doctor."

Itachi lay down and thought Did I just had a dream or was it real?

The door opened again and an old man walked in. He looked on the chart and said "So Mr. Uchiha…it's good to see you are alright. We weren't expecting that so soon. A lot of people were worried about your condition."

Itachi said "I see. When can I leave. I would like to tell them myself that I am feeling better now."

The doctor started to shake his head and said "You are not going anywhere until the blood result comes back…although we might have a clue what it contains. We had contact with a certain doctor in Tanzuku town."

Itachi paled a little bit because that's the doctor that diagnosed that he had a terminal disease and Itachi said "You haven't told Sasuke or anyone else about my condition right?"

The doctor started to shake his head and said "It's a doctor oath to secrecy. We may not tell anything until you give your permission. Lady Tsunade will find out soon as well because she took a blood sample and she is examining it right now."

Itachi looked worried and mumbled "Dammit…and she can't keep a damn thing for herself."

The door opened again and Sasuke barged in and cried out "I came as soon as I heard from the nurse you were conscious again! What happened Itachi?"

The doctor coughed and Itachi said "They are examining my blood right now but I think it was something I ate that made me fall unconscious."

The doctor glared to Itachi and Sasuke noticed it and said "Tell me doctor…is there anything I should know?"

Before the doctor could answer Tsunade walked in and said "I have the result from the blood test!"

The doctor said "Should I escort Sasuke while you give the result to Itachi or…?"

Tsunade looked dumbfounded at the doctor and said "What for? Itachi is completely healthy."

Now the doctor looked completely confused and said "But…but…"

Tsunade "But do escort Sasuke just for a moment. Although Itachi is perfectly healthy I wanted to ask him something."

The doctor nodded and pushed Sasuke outside. Tsunade sat down next to Itachi's bed and she started "I've examined your blood Itachi and…"

Itachi interrupted her and said "I know what the outcome is. The doctor from Tanzuku town told me a while back. It's terminal."

Tsunade nodded and said "I already knew that…I'm not an idiot you know but that's the strange thing…I wasn't lying when I said you were completely healthy."

Itachi let out a gasp and looked at Tsunade like she was a world wonder and he said "But how?"

Tsunade said "Yes how is the question I've been asking myself over and over again…until I compared your recent blood sample with an older one. Strangely enough they didn't match and suddenly I got an idea…between the time Kushina went out to get me you were alone with Naruto, so I got Naruto's blood sample that I took a while ago to examine it for the medical reasons of devil blood and I noticed some similarities."

Itachi looked at Tsunade and said "What are you saying Tsunade?"

Tsunade "That you are cured…and that you have devil blood now. I don't know until what extent but you do have it."

Itachi looked at the ceiling and thought So it wasn't a dream after all…is this one part of the 'connection' that Abyss was talking about?

Tsunade continued "I suggest we keep this a secret until we really know what is going on but we should really ask Naruto what he did."

Itachi nodded and suddenly asked "Why is my body tingling all over?"

Tsunade looked strange and said "What kind of tingling is it? Does it feel like your body is going numb or another kind?"

Itachi "No it is not going numb. It's hard to explain but it feels like my body is pulling and stretching."

Tsunade said "Let's take a closer look." And she grabbed the sheets and revealed Itachi's torso. Both she and Itachi looked surprised. Although Itachi was trained he didn't have much muscle mass because he also trained on agility but suddenly his arms looked more muscular than before.

Tsunade said "Now that's something you don't see every day."

Itachi "What's happening to me?"

Tsunade looked serious "I have no idea."

Itachi "Not even a theory?"

Tsunade seemed to think and she said "Perhaps it's related to the fact you now have devil's blood running through your veins. My theory is that your body is adapting in a way to synchronize with it but I have to research it to have a plausible explanation. I'll be back later to take a tissue sample."

Itachi nodded and Tsunade stood up and said "I'll let Sasuke in. He has been waiting a long time before you woke up."

Itachi nodded and said "And in the meantime?"

Tsunade "I'll leave you here until tomorrow morning just to be sure. First I'm going to Naruto and try to get some information out of him and then I'll come back to get a tissue sample from you. If everything works out we have an answer before tomorrow morning."

Itachi nodded and said "Fine…by the way can you do something for me?"

Tsunade "What is it?"

Itachi "Can you get Kakashi Hatake in here? I wanted to ask him something."

Tsunade nodded "Sure."

One hour later

Naruto just got out of the shower after a hard training session. He was wearing short blue pants, a blue vest and black sandals. He was just having a simple conversation with Dante when Tsunade came into the office.

Naruto looked surprised because normally Tsunade wouldn't come in without a reason and he said "Hey there Tsunade."

Tsunade "Hi Naruto. I need to talk to you…alone please."

Naruto "Just talk. Dante almost knows everything what happens in this house and we have no secrets."

Tsunade nodded and said "Well…it's about Itachi…"

Naruto "What about Itachi? Did he…?"

Tsunade smiled and said "No he isn't dead. He woke up but that wasn't the thing I came here for."

Naruto "Then what is it?"

Tsunade "When I examined his blood I noticed something…out of the ordinary."

Naruto "You need to be a bit more specific. What is out of the ordinary?"

Tsunade "Don't act so ignorant. I discovered that you must have done something to Itachi when your mother went out to get me!"

Naruto made an arm gesture and said "Oh you mean that. Yeah I did something. Why? Did something happen?"

Tsunade "If something happened? He's suddenly cured from a terminal illness, he suddenly has devil blood inside of him and his body changing so you tell me if something has happened!"

Naruto "Oh that's all for the better right…"

Tsunade "Why didn't you say anything?"

Naruto "What should I have said? 'Oh Tsunade, I did a technique on Itachi. Of course I don't know if he will survive it and I don't know what will happen if it works. Oh yeah a demon performed it a long time ago but the person he did it on died in the process'. Then you would give me an endless speech about how immoral and irresponsible it is."

Tsunade looked angry and said "You deserve a kick in the groin! Who knows what will happen next…perhaps he will grow a second head or starts to breathe fire or something!" (AN: A little bit of humor about the great fireball jutsu.)

Dante stepped into the conversation and said "Correct me if I'm wrong but…if Naruto wouldn't have done something…what would have happened to Itachi?"

Tsunade suddenly calmed down and stuttered "He…would have…died…"

Dante "So what Naruto did was save his life right?"

Tsunade "Yes but think about consequences. Who knows what will happen to Itachi in the future because of this."

Dante "But at least he has a future. It's as simple as this 'Naruto had the power to save Itachi and he had 2 choices…or he could have let him die from the illness or he would use his power to save him.' So let Naruto handle this in his own way and if something goes wrong he can settle things from there."

Tsunade nodded "Fine, then I hold you responsible if something goes wrong Naruto. I think Itachi want some answers too when he is released from the hospital."

Naruto shrugged "Fine but I don't have all the answers…because this is the first time the technique succeeded."

Tsunade "Then you can explain him that…anyway…I'm off." And Tsunade left the office.

Dante turned to Naruto and said "She is a bit overdramatic isn't she?"

Naruto nodded "Yes although I can imagine that she is a bit concerned about Itachi's wellbeing as a doctor."

Dante "But I am wondering….what's going to happen next? I mean Itachi lived his life as a human so far and now he suddenly has devil blood. He needs to know what he can do with it."

Naruto "Well…he is my responsibility so I have to take care of it."

Dante "Perhaps it would be a good idea if you inform Vergil. He has a lot of knowledge when it comes to devils and demons and perhaps he can find out what exactly happened to Itachi or what will happen."

Naruto nodded "Good idea Dante. Only keep this a secret from my mother will you? I have the feeling she isn't completely comfortable with the idea of demons and devils."

Dante "Sure…"

In the hospital

Itachi was still lying in the hospital bed. Sasuke just left after Itachi told him countless of times that nothing was wrong with him. Itachi was thinking I wonder if Tsunade will be able to find out what is going to happen to me…I hope it isn't anything serious.

Suddenly Itachi heard a familiar voice in his head Don't worry too much about it or you will get wrinkles.

Itachi startled and thought Abyss? Can you speak through my mind every time you wish?

Abyss chuckled and said Yes although I don't plan to make a habit out of it.

Itachi Do you know what's happening to my body?

Abyss Of course I do. I'm a part of you so I know everything what's happening to you. That lady you were talking to earlier was pretty close with her theory.

Itachi So my body is adapting to contain the devil blood?

Abyss Well actually…it's the other way around. The devil blood is enhancing your body so that it can be used in the most effective way. Devil's aren't only known for their powerful energy but also for their inhuman strength. That strength couldn't be obtained with your old body.

Itachi I see…does it do that with every part of my body?

Abyss I don't really comprehend the question.

Itachi I unlocked something called the mangekyo sharingan some time ago. It's powers are so much stronger than a normal sharingan but that power comes with a high price…every time I use a strong technique with it my eyesight degenerates.

Abyss I see…I don't know if the devil blood can cure that problem…you have to find that one out yourself.

Itachi Now I have only one question…am I the same as Naruto? Some sort of human/devil hybrid?

Abyss No, you are not a half devil. You only have attributes like a half devil…you can call it some sort of pseudo half devil form and your powers are somehow linked with Naruto's.

Itachi I think I understand only I'm worrying about the extent I'm linked with Naruto.

Abyss let out a sigh and said Don't worry about things you can't change anything about. What's done is done and the consequences will reveal themselves in time.

Itachi Guess you're right…but I'm wondering…why are you suddenly talking from the moment Naruto did something to me?

Abyss I was always here but it's hard to find a mental link…especially with humans but I think your newly acquired devil blood works as a conductor but we have to end our conversation now…that lady is returning.

Abyss just finished the sentence when the door opened and Tsunade came in. She said "I've examined the skin tissue and I have to say that it's quite amazing. I was wrong with my theory…it's not your body that triggered the change its…"

Itachi interrupted her and said "It's the devil blood inside of me."

Tsunade looked surprised but then she nodded and asked "How did you know?"

Itachi "A good guess."

Tsunade looked suspiciously at Itachi and said "Well anyway…we won't have to wait until tomorrow…you can leave right now if you wish."

Itachi nodded "I think I will do that…there are a few things I want to ask Naruto."

Tsunade "I already saw him. I didn't get much information out of him…simply because he didn't know much."

Itachi "So he doesn't know what's happening to me either?"

Tsunade started to shake her head and said "No…he only said that he used a risky technique. You either survived or you died from it."

Itachi looked at the ceiling. Tsunade noticed it and said "I already wanted to give him a piece of my mind for that but…"

Itachi interrupted her and said "I don't mind. I would've died anyway from that disease."

Tsunade looked surprised and said "But don't you think he took too much risk. Perhaps we could've found a cure in time."

Itachi showed a faint smile and said "The doctor from Tanzuku town already told me that the chance was very slim that someone could find a cure. I could have prolonged it with medication but in time I would suffer greatly. I would rather die because someone tried to save me than from that disease so in the end Naruto did me a big favor."

Tsunade heard Itachi's speech and said "Guess you're right. I will go now so that you can change. Your clothes are in the closet over there."

Itachi nodded and Tsunade left. Itachi got dressed. He noticed that he was a bit stiff and his body was still tingling but it didn't bother him too much. He left the room but suddenly bumped into Kakashi.

Kakashi looked at Itachi and said "Hey Itachi…I was just on my way to see you. Are you discharged already?"

Itachi nodded and said "Yes. It wasn't too serious."

Kakashi seemed to think and said "Okay…well you should take it easy…just to be sure."

Itachi "I will."

Kakashi nodded but suddenly looked serious and said "Perhaps I'm crazy but…you look kind of different Itachi."

Itachi "What do you mean?"

Kakashi "When you spend time with someone you get to know him. I already noticed something is different with you just by looking at you."

Itachi smiled and said "Well there is no tricking you Kakashi but first I have to confirm something before I can tell anything."

Kakashi nodded and said "I understand but I expect that you say something if it interrupts with coming missions."

Itachi "I will. So I just want to ask something…how is the training with Naruto and Ino going?"

Kakashi started to scratch the back of his head and said "Well…Ino is showing a lot of progress because Ten-ten helps her out as well but…I don't know anything about Naruto because I asked someone else to train him."

Itachi glared at Kakashi and said "You know we should train them ourselves right?"

Kakashi sighed and said "Well…you were busy with Sasuke although he isn't part of your group and I'm busy with Ino and my missions and I couldn't find the time to train Naruto thoroughly so that's why I asked someone else to step in."

Itachi "And who might that somebody be?"

Kakashi eye-smiled and said "Jiraiya is helping Naruto out with his training."

Itachi relaxed a bit and said "Well…that's good. He did train Naruto's father well. Let's hope he can do the same with his former pupil's son."

Kakashi "Well I wonder if that's necessary. Remember that even we don't know what Naruto is capable of and what knowledge he possesses. You weren't there during the fight against Kiba but I could clearly see that Naruto was playing with him from the start."

Itachi "I think his strength will be tested when he has to fight Neji. Neji is a lot stronger and smarter than Kiba."

Kakashi "I wonder…"

At the Namikaze residence

Naruto just explained to Vergil what happened between him and Itachi and what happened to Itachi after that. Vergil became very intrigued by Naruto's story just like he is intrigued by everything that was connected to demons and devils.

He said to Naruto "This is all very interesting. I never heard of a technique like that. I wonder if there are some books around that can provide us with some answers."

Naruto seemed to think as well but Dante suddenly said "Well…we can ask Blitz. That guy always seems to get information and perhaps he knows where you can find books about this subject."

Naruto said "Him?"

Dante nodded "I think he would be the perfect person to ask. He did know about that Orochimaru fellow while we didn't which proves that he already started investigating this area."

Naruto let out a sigh and said "Guess we have no choice. Where could we find him now?"

Dante "Let's ask the Hokage. Perhaps he might have a clue because he always knows what is happening in the village."

Naruto and Vergil nodded and left the mansion and went to the Hokage's tower. They entered his office. The Hokage looked surprised when he saw the three people entering his office and he said "Naruto? Dante and Vergil? What great timing…I was just thinking about the three of you."

Dante smirked and said "Only good thoughts I hope?"

The Hokage looked serious and said "It depends. I heard what happened to Itachi. Tsunade and I had a good conversation. Do you wish to explain what happened and what will be happening Naruto?"

Naruto "We are trying to find that out and that's why we went here."

The Hokage looked surprised and said "I don't know anything about the supernatural…that's your department."

Naruto laughed and said "I don't mean that old man Hokage…we are looking for Blitz who might know something and that's the reason why we are here."

The Hokage "Ah that man who sticks his nose into certain affairs."

Dante nodded and said "Yes that one. Do you know where we can find him?"

The Hokage said "You can try training field 2. For some reason he is always to be found there."

Vergil nodded and said "Then we will go there."

The three left, leaving a surprised Hokage because he wanted to ask Naruto some other questions but they left so quick that he barely got a chance…

At training field 2

15 minutes after the conversation with the Hokage Naruto, Dante and Vergil arrived at training field 2. It looked deserted and Dante said "Guess he isn't here. We have to look further."

Vergil looked like he was focusing on something and said "Stop talking and listen."

It became quiet and all three of them were listening and Naruto said "Do I hear someone snoring?"

Vergil nodded and said "And it's coming from that tree over there if I'm not mistaken."

The three men walked towards the tree and looked up. They all saw Blitz, sleeping on a branch. Naruto said "Is this his regular sleeping location?"

Dante shrugged "I don't know. I barely saw him after the chunin exams."

Vergil "We need information. Let's wake him up." He unsheathed Yamato and slashed towards the branch. Yamato itself didn't cut the branch but some sort of energy that came out of the sword did and the branch came down together with Blitz, who woke up in mid-air and fell down with a scream.

Blitz slowly got up and with a lazy voice he said "You're crazy man. Did you really need to do that?"

Vergil "We need information and you were sleeping in a tree."

Blitz "You could've yelled to wake me up man."

Naruto "Do you normally sleep in there?"

Blitz nodded "I don't have a place on my own here so I don't have another choice."

Naruto "Well in that case…perhaps you're interested in a deal."

Blitz looked surprised and said "A deal?"

Naruto nodded "If you use your…expertise for the Devil May Cry Agency you can sleep at my place…starting right now."

Blitz "That's fine by me homes but what do you need?"

Vergil "We need to do some research about demonic and devil techniques. Do you know if there is a book in this area about that subject?"

Blitz seemed to think "Well…I did find out that the Hokage has a pretty big library and that there is a book collector in a village 10 miles from here."

Dante "Didn't I tell you guys? He always seems to get information from everywhere."

Naruto "I'm convinced. Let's try the closest possibility and try to find out if old man Hokage has the book we need."

Vergil nodded and the four men went back to the Hokage tower. The Hokage was surprised to see Naruto, Vergil and Dante back so soon and he said "I see you found Blitz."

Naruto nodded and Vergil said "He told us you have big personal library which might contain the book we need."

The Hokage said "I have a personal library but most books are simple novels."

Blitz said "That's not what I heard. Some kid told me that you have a 'secret' library which contains information about ninja and since recently some books about demons."

The Hokage looked at Blitz with some humor and said "And you believe the word of a child?"

Blitz "I do if that kid is your grandchild."

The Hokage startled and Naruto noticed it and said "Please old man Hokage…one of those books might tell us what can happen to Itachi because of the technique I used."

The Hokage seemed to think but suddenly he nodded and said "Good but the books remain in my library. If you want to read something you can do it in there."

The four people nodded and the Hokage turned to Blitz and with a sly smirk he said "Well…since you have so much information…can you find out where my library is?"

Blitz smirked. He saw this as a challenge and he said "Well…the kid told me it could be somewhere in your office."

And he walked towards the bookcase and looks at the titles. He suddenly said "I notice one thing here. I did some research on this village and the previous leaders. The first Hokage was called Hashirama Senju, the second was called Tobirama Senju, you are the third called Hiruzen Sarutobi and the fourth was called Minato Namikaze."

The Hokage nodded and said "That's all correct but where are you going with this story?"

Blitz smirked and said "I noticed that the four names I just mentioned also appeared on some book covers…like this title 'Dream manifestations by Arazi Hashirama' and a bit further I see 'Biological wonders by Tobirama Sabu'. So perhaps if I do this…"

And Blitz started slide some books towards him and suddenly a 'click' sound was heard and the bookcase opened.

Vergil raised his eyebrows because he was surprised that Blitz was able to find an answer to such a complex system but Dante whispered to him "Blitz is a genius although he acts stupid sometimes. He managed to hack into NASA computers and crash them when he was only fourteen and solves almost impossible riddles like they are nothing more than mere crossword puzzles."

Vergil "But why does he work as an informant?"

Dante "He told me once that he developed some sort of machine but he wanted to put it on the market by himself and that required a lot of money. To get money he started counterfeiting but they were discovered by an undercover policeman. Blitz 'partner' killed the police officer but blamed it one him. Blitz was convicted and got 20 years but he managed to escape and worked as an informant ever since."

Vergil "But why does he speak like some sort of gangster?"

Dante "That one is obvious…that way people think he is ignorant and that way he can get information he couldn't get otherwise…but he can also speak like a gentleman if he has to."

Suddenly Blitz said "Yo! Are you two ready to start some research dawgs!"

Dante shrugged and he, Naruto, Vergil and Blitz entered the Hokage's library. It contained a lot of books about various subjects. Blitz looked around and said "This is really going to be a pain in the ass man!"

Naruto "Let's just start. The sooner we begin the sooner this is over with."

The four started investigating. There were some good old books but still they haven't found what they were searching for. Eventually Blitz cried out "I think I found something."

The other three gathered around Blitz and Naruto looked at the book and said "What the...I can't read that."

Blitz "I can read it reasonably. There are some similarities between this text and old Celtic runes so I can fill the gaps if I can't translate certain words. I will translate. This chapter is about contracts between devils, humans and demons."

Vergil "This might be what we are looking for."

Dante "I didn't know you could read something like this."

Blitz smirked "I'm a man with many talents ya dig!"

Naruto "Yeah, yeah, just read the text!"

Blitz seemed to look at it and said "Ah…there is a piece about a contract between a devil or demon and a human…let's see…it's about a demon who used this technique to save his mortal lover but she died because of it and this is a well-founded theory of what might have happened if it succeeded."

Naruto looked disappointed "Just a theory?"

Blitz "According to this text the technique never succeeded so there wasn't a reason to know for sure and this is the closest thing we might get."

Vergil "What does it say?"

Blitz "It says: We believe that if the technique succeeded the demon and his lover would be connected for the rest of their lives. What's his is hers and what is hers is his. The two would remain the same but through their connection they gain certain qualities from each other."

Dante looked at Naruto who looked quite surprised and Naruto said "Does it say anything else?"

Blitz looked further and said "Yes…there is something about the giver and the taker but I can't figure out what the text means."

Vergil "Just read it out loud. Perhaps one of us might find out what it means."

Blitz "The giver takes superiority and the taker takes from him what's rightfully his by birth. They share what can be shared and feel need when needed."

The other three looked confused. They didn't understand it either. The Hokage listened in as well and suddenly coughed. He said "Correct me if I'm wrong but the text says something about a giver and taker right?"

Blitz nodded and said "Yes that's what the text says."

The Hokage said "Well…Naruto performed the technique on Itachi so would that make Naruto the giver and Itachi the taker?"

The four people looked at each other and Vergil said "That is a plausible theory."

Dante "But what the hell does the rest mean? And what is that connection the text speaks about?"

Vergil "Well…Naruto told me that Itachi is cured from a terminal illness and that his body is changing because he now has devil blood. Perhaps that connection represents that Itachi acquired devil blood from Naruto."

Blitz "That makes sense but what about the rest about that giver and taker part?"

Dante "I have no idea."

Vergil "Me neither."

Naruto "Hey don't ask me…you are the smart guys."

Vergil said "At least we made some progress…"

Naruto let out a sigh of annoyance and said "No we don't…it's just an explanation from the things Tsunade already found out…we want to find out what will happen next."

Vergil "We probably won't find anything out because no one ever succeeded this technique."

Blitz said "I'm sorry bro but I agree with Vergil over here."

Naruto sighed once again and said "Guess you are right…we have to find out the rest ourselves."

Blitz "Some people I used to know always said "Knowledge is power but just like a diamond it has many facets."

Everyone looked at Blitz and Vergil said "And what's that supposed to mean?"

Blitz smirked "That knowledge can and must be gained by more than 1 ways…not just books but also field work, experimenting and stuff like that."

Naruto looked dumbfounded at Blitz but suddenly he started to laugh "Supposed you're right. Let's go home."

The four people were ready to leave but the Hokage suddenly said "Wait a minute Vergil. I heard that reading books about demonology is a hobby of yours."

Vergil turned around and nodded and the Hokage walked towards a shelf and got a book that was concealed. It was a black book with some weird runes on the cover and the Hokage said "The one who gave me this said this book is worth reading but I don't understand it…probably because of my lack of knowledge about demons, devils and other supernatural occurrences so I'm giving it to you."

Vergil took the old thick book from the Hokage and looked at it. The cover said "CCD" Vergil looked strange at the title and opened the book. The first page said "Cronache confrontare Diavolo". Vergil was examining the pages and said "How did you get this book?"

The Hokage said "Some old book trader sold it to me. He said he found it somewhere and wanted to sell it because it gave him the jitters…why?"

Vergil "No wonder he got frightened from the book…do you know what material was used to make this book?" The Hokage started to shake his head and Vergil said "The cover is a mixture of bones and carton, the pages are made out of human skin and the letters are written with blood."

The Hokage looked at the book with a disgusted look on his face and he said "That's terrible!"

Vergil nodded "It is but it also says something about the book. It means it must have some importance and can contain rich histories about demons and devils alike. It might prove useful in the future."

The Hokage nodded and said "Just take it with you…I don't even want it back in my library again now that I know what they used to make it."

Vergil "Thank you. Let's go."

And Vergil left the office followed by the other three people.

The next day

Naruto just got out of the shower. He got dressed and went downstairs. His mother was out shopping and Haku had medical ninja class. The first person he saw was Blitz and Blitz said "Yo man…this house rocks! How are you able to finance this place?"

Naruto glared at Blitz and said "I inherited it from my father."

Blitz "I thought you or your mother was rich. Do you know how much tax benefits you can get with a place like this?"

Naruto raised his eyebrow and said "Don't tell me you know something about finances as well."

Blitz smirked "Remember I'm a man…"

Naruto ended his sentence and said "With many talents…you said that before."

Blitz "But yes I do know some things about finance…I even worked with it a few times and I only failed once."

Naruto "You failed?"

Blitz let out a sigh "Yes…I couldn't fix Dante's finances…that guy had too many debts! It was an accountant's nightmare. Imagine it like this: Ä busy day in an office is like a dog but Dante's paperwork was like an elephant…no a dinosaur! It was like a stream with no beginning and no end!"

Naruto let out a laugh and said "Yes I heard that from Trish. But to go back to the topic, if the time ever comes you can do the taxes."

Blitz smirked "For a small fee of course."

Naruto smirked back and said "We'll see when the time comes."

And Naruto started to walk to the part of the house where Dante's office was. He saw Dante on his chair…relaxing as always and Vergil was leaning at the end of the desk reading the book the Hokage gave him.

Naruto said "Hey Vergil…what are you doing in Dante's office? I thought you locked yourself up in your room."

Vergil "No I didn't"

Naruto "Why not? Not that I mind or something but you like peace and quiet when you are reading and normally you can get that in your room."

Vergil "It was impossible to do it."

Naruto "Why?"

Vergil "Trish is upstairs…the air she spreads is enough to lose my concentration."

Dante answered without opening his eyes "Trish is okay. She certainly has her moments."

Vergil "The only moment she has is when her eyes are closed…preferably forever."

Dante "That's harsh Virge."

Vergil "So was your birth but you can't hear me complain about it."

Dante growled "You are in a bad mood."

Vergil "Because I'm surrounded by people who do nothing more than talk about useless subjects."

Dante wanted to reply but someone knocked on the front door. Naruto opened it and he saw a man in a suit. Naruto looked at the man and concluded that he either had a lot of money or was a salesman. The man adjusted his glasses and said "Good morning sir. Could you tell me if a man called Slayer lives here?"

Naruto "Yes…"

The man said "Can I speak to him…I have a job for him."

Naruto invited the man in and guided him to the office. Vergil looked up when he saw the man and the man said "Ah there you are. My boss and I have been looking for you for quite some time."

Vergil "You have been looking for me? That means you and your superior have a problem."

The man nodded and with a smile he said "Like always when we are contacting you."

Vergil "What kind of problem is it?"

The man said "In my boss his home village people are being abducted regularly. It started a few months ago and they crossed the line when they abducted my boss's niece."

Vergil "What kind of people are being abducted?"

The man said "It started with homeless people but now it's mostly children."

Vergil nodded and said "I will take the job. The payment will go according to the usual procedure."

The man smiled and said "We know…here is the first half."

The man handed Vergil a piece of paper and a check. Dante took a quick glance at the check and he paled a little bit and said "WHAT THE! Which god did you please to earn this amount of money!"

The man looked at Dante and asked Vergil "Who is this individual?"

Vergil "My twin brother."

The man looked surprised and said "We didn't know you had a brother."

Vergil "It wasn't relevant. Our relation is strictly professional…I stay out of your business and you stay out of mine."

The man nodded "Of course…we always value your work because you are so discrete."

Vergil looked at the piece of paper. It was information regarding the mission. Vergil said "Your people saw men from The Order of Light near the area?"

The man nodded and Vergil said "The first time they were noticed is around the time the first abduction took place. I think those two are connected…we need someone who knows something about the methods of The Order of Light."

Naruto "Why don't you ask Maya?"

Vergil seemed to think and said "Oh yes, the descendant of that lady with the weapon fetish." And Vergil turned to the man and said "You can tell your boss I accepted the mission."

The man bowed and left the office. Naruto saw the man leave and said "Do you need help Vergil?"

Vergil "No. I took some missions from them and most of them weren't very difficult. And on top of that…don't you have to train for the chunin exams?"

Naruto smirked "That's why I want to come. There are a lot of distractions here with this entire Itachi stuff going on and this mission might be the break I need."

Vergil "If you see it that way then you may come."

Dante "What about me?"

Vergil "You have your own business."

Dante "But no clients at the moment!"

Vergil "If you really want to but you will have to do things my way."

Dante "Fine…I'll ask Trish if she wants to take care of the shop in case someone arrives."

Somewhere else

Itachi finally came home. After he got discharged from the hospital he went to the lake near Konoha. It was the place where he loved to think about difficult matters. Itachi closed the door and suddenly saw Sasuke.

Sasuke looked very surprised and said "Itachi? But I thought you had to stay at the hospital!"

Itachi smiled and said "It wasn't as bad as they thought and they discharged me."

Sasuke looked suspiciously at Itachi but suddenly he shrugged and said "That's good then."

Itachi nodded and said "It is…only we have to wait a few days with your training…there is something I need to figure out."

Sasuke "What is it?"

Itachi started to shake his head and said "I can't tell you yet before I know all the details. Have you seen Naruto by any chance?"

Sasuke "Naruto? Not recently…why?"

Itachi "I just wanted to ask him something."

Sasuke "Last time I saw him he was busy with training in his mansion…if it's urgent you can find him there I suppose."

Itachi nodded "Then I will go see him…I'll be back in time to make dinner."

Sasuke nodded and Itachi left the house.

With Naruto

Naruto, Vergil and Dante were on their way to Kurenai Yuuhi's house. They left Blitz at the mansion. Naruto knocked on the door and Kurenai opened. She looked surprised when she saw the three people and asked "Naruto? Can I help you with something?"

Naruto smiled and said "Perhaps. Is Maya there? We need to ask her something."

Kurenai nodded and said "Come in."

The three people followed Kurenai and when they reached the living room Kurenai said "Maya, Naruto, Vergil and Dante are here to see you."

Maya looked up and said "Hi Naruto, what's up?"

Naruto "Nothing much…we came here to ask you something."

Maya nodded "Sure, what is it?"

Vergil stepped forward and said "I received a mission from a frequent client. In the mission's details I saw the name of The Order of Light a few times and we suspect that my new mission and The Order of Light are connected."

Maya nodded and said "And you are here to ask me some questions because I worked for them."

Vergil nodded and gave Maya the paper with the details of the mission. Maya read it through and said "Perhaps they are there because they suspect demon activity there."

Dante started to shake his head and said "I don't think so. The paper says it started with homeless people and after that that target changed in children. Demons are always consistent with their prey."

Maya "Perhaps you are dealing with two different demons?"

Vergil "That could be but that is speculation. The only facts we have are that homeless people and children are being abducted and that The Order of Light is there."

Maya "Well I don't think I can help you. I only know how The Order of Light operates in various situations and that they are hunting demons."

Maya read the paper another time and she suddenly said "This paper says that someone appeared who is slim, has medium long blond hair and is wearing a black robe with a white cross on it."

Vergil nodded and Maya continued "Be careful if you meet him. He is one of the higher class warriors with The Order of Light and should not be taken lightly if you should cross paths with him."

Vergil "I will remember that. Thank you for your information."

Maya returned the paper and said "You're welcome Vergil."

The three men left the house and Vergil said "Well, I suppose that is all the information we can get from here. We will take 2 hours to prepare. We will travel light so don't bring too much items with you."

Naruto and Dante nodded and they returned to the Namikaze estate. They entered the house and Naruto saw Kushina in the hallway.

Kushina said "Naruto…you have company. Itachi is sitting in the living room."

Naruto let out a sigh and said to Vergil and Dante "You two should prepare yourselves for the mission. I'm going to speak to Itachi…alone."

Dante and Vergil gave an understanding nod and went upstairs. Naruto entered the living room and saw Itachi sitting on the couch.

Naruto said "Hey Itachi what's up?"

It wasn't the most sensible thing to say in this kind of situation but on the other hand…what is?

Itachi showed a sarcastic smirk and said "Same old…floating between life and death, being saved by a student by the means of a dangerous old ritual and a body that is changing."

Naruto started to scratch the back of his head and said "I'm sorry Itachi but you were in mortal danger and well…it was either this way or certain death."

Itachi smiled and started to shake his head "I'm not mad about the fact you use a…unorthodox method to save my life. I'm just here to find out what the consequences are for using such a technique and what is going to happen to me in the future."

Naruto "Well…I don't exactly know either. We did some research and found an old book that contained some information regarding the technique I used but it was a bit confusing."

Itachi "What did it say?"

Naruto "I don't know exactly anymore…it was something about a giver and taker and stuff like that…I believe Vergil has the book. But it's nothing more than a theory."

Itachi let out a sigh "So even if I know what the books says I am still unable to know what is going to happen to me exactly."

Naruto nodded "Indeed…did you notice something else that's…different?"

Itachi "Well…I don't know if it was real or a dream but I saw something that represented my devil arm Abyss."

Naruto nodded "That can be…Devil Arms are sentient weapons. Dante has a lot of them and each of them has a will of their own. Try to summon your devil arm Itachi."

Itachi nodded, stretched out his arm and Abyss appeared in it. Naruto and Itachi both saw that Abyss was different. Normally it looked like a normal scythe although it was completely black. The blade was now completely silver and the handle was black with silver graphics on it and the end was decorated with a silver skull with rubies as eyes.

Naruto said "It probably got an upgrade when your body started to change. Now focus on Abyss…try to call him forth in a physical form."

Itachi did was Naruto asked him to do and suddenly an ethereal entity appeared. It looked a lot like the grim reaper. It looked around and said "Why have you summoned me here?"

Itachi said "You appeared in my mind and Naruto just taught me how to summon you."

The ethereal entity looked at Naruto and said "So you are the devil hybrid that saved my wielder. And let me guess…you summoned me to find out what's happening."

Naruto nodded and Abyss said "I don't know the specific details and the things I do know you two must find out on your own. Don't summon me for trivial purposes ever again."

And with that the ethereal entity disappeared. Naruto cocked his eyebrow and said "Well he is a real mister nice guy."

Itachi "Well it was worth a try. Guess we have no other choice then to find out what will happen next."

Naruto nodded and with a smile he said "Don't worry…we'll find out soon enough."

Itachi nodded and said "Indeed. I am going to leave now. I'm going to continue my brother's training."

Naruto "Please do and give my regards to Sasuke."

Itachi "I will." And Itachi left the house. Naruto shrugged and went upstairs to prepare for the mission with Vergil and Dante…

1,5 hours later at the gates of Konoha

Naruto, Vergil and Dante were ready to leave and Naruto asked "So, where are we going?"

Vergil "The mission details say the town is called Ouzuki. It's a town not far from here. It is a wild with a lot of shady characters who don't like strangers."

Dante "Sounds like fun."

Vergil "Remember that we are playing by my rules so we will try to keep a low profile. Don't immediately walk in and shoot everything on sight."

Dante "Yeah I remember…only do something when either the time is ripe or when we are being attacked."

Vergil nodded "Exactly…let's start walking."

The group started walking. After four hours Dante said "Hey Vergil…you said that the town wasn't far away from Konoha but we've been walking for four hours straight."

Vergil looked irritated and said "Stop complaining. It won't take long before we get there. You can rest there."

Dante "Do you have something planned already?"

Vergil "I normally have a good approach. I go to the nearest bar."

Dante "I didn't know you drink."

Vergil "I don't but others do and the alcohol make them more talkative. It is a good place to get information swiftly."

Naruto "I never thought of it that way…although it explains the success we had during a mission around one year ago."

Dante "Oh you mean while we were in that bar with those tough guys."

Vergil "What happened?"

Dante "Well we couldn't get any information and someone suggested a wager…a game of poker. If we win that guy would give us the information we needed but if we lose we had to leave the town forever…"

Vergil "That couldn't have ended well knowing your luck with gambling."

Dante smirked and started to shake his head "I didn't play…Naruto did. I can't really explain it but his luck with gambling games is extraordinary. That poor guy lost one game after another and in the end he had to spill the beans."

Vergil "I see."

Naruto looked in the distance and he saw the outlines of a town and he asked "Is that Ouzuki town?"

Vergil nodded "Indeed."

They increased their pace but suddenly they stopped when four people appeared and blocked their way.

One of them said "If you want to reach Ouzuki town you will have to pay the toll."

Vergil "Last time I was around this area there wasn't a toll."

The man said "Well that was then and this is now. Pay the toll or turn around."

Dante "I choose option C…going to Ouzuki town without paying the toll."

The man smirked and said "Don't you see that you three are outnumbered. There are only three of you and four of us…and we're all former ninja!"

Dante looked at Vergil and Vergil said "And how much is the toll?"

The man said "2000 each."

Vergil "That is a high price just to get into Ouzuki town. I have something better than money to pay you scoundrels."

The man looked slightly interested and asked "And that is?"

Vergil grabbed the handle of Yamato and suddenly a click sound was heard. The next second the clothes of the scoundrels was torn into pieces and Vergil said "I will let you live."

The eyes of the man widened and said "Good enough…" suddenly he turned around and screamed "LET'S GO! THESE GUYS AREN'T NORMAL!"

And the four people fled into the bushes. Vergil snorted and the three people kept on walking. When they reached the town Vergil said "We'll go to the 'Roughneck', it's a bar with a lot of shady characters. It would be best to keep Naruto outside."

Dante looked at Vergil and said "Why?"

Vergil "With a child with us we would make fools out of ourselves and we can waste valuable information."

Dante seemed to think and said "I don't agree with you on that one."

Vergil "Why not?"

Dante "Naruto isn't your regular kid and sometimes he can get information we can't get otherwise. One time he got information from a few ladies just because he looked…well the word they used was adorable."

Naruto growled "Please don't tell me I have to use the 'cute act' again?"

Dante smirked "Only when it's necessary."

While Naruto sighed Vergil said "Fine…you have convinced me Dante. We will take him with us."

Dante and Naruto nodded and followed Vergil to the bar. It wasn't far and they finally reached it after 5 minutes. When they went through the door they got almost blown away from the amount of smoke the 'guests' were spreading. It was a complete mess. In the background they heard something that was supposed to be music which was totally overwhelmed by the screaming and laughing from the visitors of the bar.

The three of them saw a rough looking guy. He was over 7 feet and he was very muscular. Vergil said "We will try to get information out of that person."

Naruto looked around and he saw a few women talking together. Naruto said "Vergil, before we try that, can you give me the mission details please."

Vergil "Why?"

Naruto "I think I have a safer way to get information."

Vergil looked strange, shrugged and gave Naruto the mission details. Naruto took a quick glance at the paper, gave Repent to Vergil and said "Okay…wait here for a minute."

Naruto walked away and Vergil asked to Dante "What is he doing?"

Dante smirked "You will see…"

Naruto reached the groups of ladies. He didn't look the way he normally did. He looked more helpless and scared than anything else. One of the women noticed Naruto and said "Hey gals…do you see that?"

A younger woman saw Naruto who looked helplessly around. She got up and walked towards Naruto. She said "Hi little guy…are you looking for someone?"

With a tearful voice Naruto said "Ehm…ehm…yes…I'm looking for my big brother."

Another woman joined them and she said "Ah look at that poor thing…he's soooo cute."

Eventually the entire group was surrounding Naruto and the young woman explained to the rest why Naruto was in the bar alone. One of the women asked "How does your brother look like?"

Naruto "Well…ehm…he is around 6.6 tall…he has medium long black hair…around 18 years old and he has a tattoo of a dragon on his right arm."

The women started to talk together while they were looking shifty at a certain man in the bar. Naruto noticed it but he didn't look that way because he didn't want to blow his cover…especially not now it's working like a charm.

One of the ladies said "Sorry child but we can't help you."

Almost immediately Naruto's eyes started to get wet. One of the women cried out "Please don't cry…he might be in the caves in the north!"

A few women looked mad at the woman for giving away secret information while Naruto thought Jackpot!

Naruto wanted to finish his act but it wasn't necessary anymore because the women started to yell at each other.

Naruto snuck away and joined Dante and Vergil. Vergil was amazed. He used his heightened senses to listen to Naruto's conversation and when he gave back Repent he said "I'm very surprised to say the least."

Dante smirked "I told you so…I don't know how he does it either but once he puts on his puppy eyes every woman melts like butter in the sun."

Naruto "Except Trish."

Dante "I said woman."

Naruto "True true. By the way the women were acting strange about the guy sitting at the bar…the one wearing the white jacket."

Vergil "We will wait until he leaves the bar and then we will follow him."

Dante and Naruto nodded. Dante looked at the guy and he seemed to think about something and softly he said "I know him but I can't remember from where."

Naruto "Really?"

Dante "I'm sure of it…if I can only remember where from."

The man at the bar left some money on the counter and he got up and he was ready to walk out of the bar until he saw Dante. The eyes of the man widened and suddenly he turned around and started to run to the backdoor.

Naruto said "I think he remembers you too Dante…let's go after him."

Dante nodded and he said "Let's go Virge!"

Vergil didn't answer and that wasn't strange…because he wasn't there anymore. Dante looked surprised and said "Where is he?"

Naruto "I don't know. Let's just follow that guy before he gets away."

Dante and Naruto started to run and they went through the back door. It led to an alley and they suddenly saw 4 other people with the man they were following.

The guy Naruto and Dante were following said "Take care of them guys! I'll give 10.000 to the one who kills the guy with the white hair!"

The four people started to smirk evilly and they got out their knives. Dante and Naruto smirked out as well and Dante said "You people are going to face us with those toothpicks? Sorry but I'll prefer this." And he got Rebellion from his back while Naruto got Repent.

The four people seemed to hesitate but suddenly one of them said "Don't be afraid men…they are outnumbered. ATTACK!"

And the four people rushed at Naruto and Dante. Naruto dodged the first guy and while the guy that momentum Naruto stretched out his leg and the guy fell down face first. The second guy saw his chance and he tried to stab Naruto but Naruto skillfully dodged it, turned around the man and he hit the guy on the back of his head with Repent's hilt, leaving the man unconscious.

The first guy slowly got up. He was still quite dizzy and he saw his teammate unconscious. Enraged, he rushed towards Naruto. Naruto stretched out his arm and a blue swirling ball appeared in it. The guy came close and Naruto thrusts his arm forward and cried out RASENGAN!

The guy screamed out in pain as he was spinning back the way he came. His journey ended against the wall and he fell unconscious.

Naruto looked at Dante and saw that the guys that Dante was facing were also unconscious. Naruto and Dante looked at the guy they were chasing from the beginning. The guy looked scared and he turned around in an attempt to run away but he suddenly saw Vergil who said "Are you going somewhere?"

The guy stuttered "W-why are you people f-following me?"

Vergil "We want some information regarding the people who are disappearing."

The guy said "I don't know anything."

Vergil suddenly got a stern look on his face and he said "We can force it out of you if we want to. You have two choices. You either tell us what we want to know or we will torture it out of you."

The guy started to sweat and he said "I-I'm just an errand boy for them…"

Vergil "For whom?"

The guy said "The Order of Light…I gave them information for suitable candidates."

Vergil "Suitable candidates for what?"

The guy said "I-I don't know…I just give them information and they take care of the rest themselves…"

Vergil "Where do you usually meet your clients?"

The guy said "W-We meet on appointment…"

Vergil "And when is your next appointment?"

The guy said "Tonight…in the alley next to the Abolon Inn."

Vergil nodded and said "You may go but remember this…if we find out you have informed them about our presence we will find you."

The guy nodded very quickly and ran away.

Dante "It's always The Order of Light that screws things up…I wonder what they are up to know."

Naruto "We will find out tonight…"

---

Mnarutodbz "And that's the end of this chapter."

Naruto "Really? What happened to the chunin exams?"

Mnarutodbz smirked "You will find out next chapter. In the normal series you have a filler that you meet Jiraiya but you already know him in this story so I have decided to let you go on a mission."

Naruto "I see but what took you so long to complete this chapter?"

Mnarutodbz "Well…first I had to finish the chapter of The Saiyans new adventure…and after that I had exams at school…and I finally got some sun during Easter because it was around 22 to 25 degrees Celsius here…"

Naruto growled "Lucky bastard."

Mnarutodbz "Anyway I will try to update quicker in the future…please review and until next time."
