The Cathedral

A grassy hill overlooking the town of Tristram

"What do you think?" A woman who looks about twenty with long blue-black hair, pale indigo pupil-less eyes and a lithe athletic figure, wearing a leather armor with leather greaves, boots and gauntlets asks her two companions, two hunting daggers are at her waist with a yew longbow and a quiver of arrows on her back.

"This place, it has been tainted with evil. Even so, the Kyūbi's Youkai was far more potent, hell even Shukaku's Youkai was more potent than this, but this evil. It's far more intelligent, more sinister" One of her companions, a blonde haired, blue eyed man around the same age as the woman but slightly taller with a solid build showing years of hard training answers, covering him is a set of mail armor and hanging off his belt is a sheathed golden sword and on his back is a tower shield with a weird pointed whirl symbol on it.

"I think it's all so troublesome, however we should deal with the trio walking up behind us first" The third companion, a man the same age as his companions with spiky black hair done up to resemble a pineapple with a lean build similar to his male companions but less muscled, like the woman he is wearing leather boots, gauntlets and greaves with the exception of his chest armor which is mail instead, off his back a axe hangs with a chained book hanging off his belt.

The blond nods "I agree with you Shikamaru, Hinata want to roll out the welcome wagon"

The woman, Hinata nods "Sure thing Naruto"

The three turn around to see a woman wearing leather armor similar to Hinata's and holding a longbow with an arrow notched ready to fire, a man in steel plate armor wielding a claymore and a final man garbed in flowing robes wielding a wooden staff that crackles with lightning slightly walking towards them with obviously hostile intentions.

Naruto holds up his right hand "Hold it, we mean you no harm, we've come to combat the evil that has infected this town"

The man relaxes instantly "Then you are welcome here, my name is Aidan Leoricson. These are my companions Moreina Saradotir and Jazreth Ab-Leth. We have also come to cleanse this town of evil and on a more personal note, I am here to find what has happened to my father, King Leoric and the rest of my family"

Naruto nods to Aidan "A fair reason to come, I am Naruto Uzumaki, my companions are Hinata Hyūga and Shikamaru Nara. We are remnants of the great city Konohagakure no Sato, after evil destroyed our home we and the rest of the survivors swore to hunt evil in all its forms until the end of time" Both Hinata and Shikamaru nod at Naruto's words showing their agreement.

Aidan then nods to the group "It has been a pleasure meeting you…" before Aidan can continue Moreina walks up.

"I have a proposal, since we are all here to fight the evil. Why not work together? Six people can accomplish a lot more than three can"

Jazreth nods in agreement with Moreina "I agree, what say you Aidan and you three?"

Naruto looks to Hinata and Shikamaru who nod without hesitation "We agree with you proposal Moreina, I look forward to working with you"

Aidan nods "I agree as well, now not to sound rude, but may we hurry. I wish to learn more about what fate has befallen my family"

As they hurry towards the town Jazreth asks Shikamaru a question that had bothered him for the last five minutes "Shikamaru, may I ask you a question?"

Shikamaru looks over at Jazreth and says "Troublesome, sure what is it?"

Jazreth nods towards the book chained at his waist "That book, why is it chained shut?"

Shikamaru laughs "When we three left to come to Tristram, my father gave me this book, it's… enchanted. It holds a copy of all the… spells used by my clan the Nara, the book will only unchain itself as I grow and become ready to learn the higher levels of magic known to my clan. Hinata also has a version of this but it's a scroll that's sealed with magic by itself instead of magic and chains"

Hinata nods at Moreina who'd started to look at her questioningly "It holds the instructions for the sacred martial arts of my clan the Hyūga"

Naruto smiles as Aidan looks at him with the obvious question in his eyes "Yes, I also have a scroll. But mine is sealed to prevent others from reading it, I have no limits on what I can learn as I'm the last of two clans, the Namikaze and the Uzumaki. But out of respect for my mother and having had the name for most of my life I remain an Uzumaki unless I'm speaking formally with the other clan heads from my home, then I'm Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki"
