Memories of the past/Flashbacks

The full moon was high in the sky and illuminated Kuoh in a mysterious light. Most animals who hunted in night used the opportunity. Because of the full moon everything was lit up even when it was in the middle of the night. Even at 3 a.m. somebody could see everything clearly as if it was in the morning and the sun was already up to a certain degree.

Even in the dark apartment from Naruto was a certain degree from moon light even when all the curtains were in front of the windows. Naruto was laying on his bed with a neutral look on his face.

Naruto's body twitched a bit when he felt something over himself. The light that shone through the window at his face wasn't there anymore and it felt like something, or someone was right over him.

Naruto's purple eyes opened slightly. He didn't see much but he knew he shouldn't move, or he would lose his right eye. Directly in front of his right eye was the tip of a sword which would only need a very little distance to pierce his eye and his head. His purple eye wandered up the sword and saw who wielded it at the moment.

It was a woman with black eyes like the endless night, raven black hair with some spikes in it, tied up into a high ponytail and 2 long bangs that framed her face. She had pale skin and her face looked almost identical like Naruto's; cold and blank. Her eyes were focused on his purple ones. The type of sword wasn't seen often in the world. It was a Kusanagi with a black handle. Her right hand was around the handle.

Unlike most females from the supernatural world, this woman over him wasn't very curvy. She didn't have those massive breasts that most female supernatural beings had or the other curves. She wore a grey top under a black leather jacket with short sleeves, blue pants, black leather boots and a silver necklace around her neck.

Naruto couldn't help it but think that he saw this woman somewhere before. He couldn't remember it right now, but he was sure he saw her somewhere before.

"Is your name Naruto Uzumaki?" asked the woman with a cold voice. This voice could send a shiver through the body from someone, but Naruto wasn't affected by it.

"And what? You want to kill me? Fine, do it then," said Naruto without any hesitation. He didn't make a motion that he would resist or move in any way. He simply laid there while his entire body was loose.

The woman looked into his purple eyes, and it seemed like she tried to find something in those blank purple eyes. She took her Kusanagi away from his face and sheathed it in a black sheath on her backside.

She stepped down from his bed and stood now on his right side. Naruto looked at her and asked, "That was all? You don't kill me?"

"No," said the woman and walked towards the door. "I am only here to confirm your existence, Naruto Uzumaki. Nothing more and nothing less."

"Disappointing," said Naruto and simply looked at his ceiling again and closed his eyes. "When that was all, leave my apartment and the next time simply knock on the door." He heard how the woman walked through his door and stopped. He waited a bit and didn't hear how she walked away. He frowned and opened his eyes.

He turned his head to the side, looking at the woman in his doorframe. "Anything else? I want to sleep; I had enough shit to deal with in the last 2 days. I simply want my peace as long as it lasts."

"You don't seem to care that I found you," said the woman.

"Why should I care that a woman found me? I am not hiding," said Naruto,

…

The woman remained silent for a few seconds before she said, "You really don't care, are you?"

"Should I care?"

"Probably," said the woman.

"You know… I stopped caring when everyone was against me. After 18 years of a shitty life, you simply don't care anymore," said Naruto before he turned away and closed his eyes. "When you don't want to kill me then fuck off. I don't have the nerve to deal with more shit right now."

Naruto tried to keep sleeping but when he heard how the woman began to talk to someone, he opened his eye again. He looked over his shoulder and could see how she was holding a phone to her ear.

"Yes… he is Naruto Uzumaki," said the woman while she was holding her phone to her right ear. She looked at Naruto, listening to the voice on the other side on the line.

Naruto stood up and summoned Intetsu. He charged at the woman and made a slashing motion. The woman had her Kusanagi in her free hand in a flash and blocked the sword slash from Naruto. Both blades were rubbing against each other while Naruto looked into her eyes.

"Don't get me wrong, whoever you are… if you don't want to kill me then leave my apartment or I will kill you right now," said Naruto. The woman pushed him away a bit while she said, "Sorry, I have to deal with something here." She put the phone into her pocket before she looked at Naruto.

Naruto stood there with Intetsu in his right hand, loosely at his side. "So, what would it be? You killing me or I am killing you?" asked Naruto.

"Wait, Naruto. You don't stand a chance against her," said Intetsu.

"I don't care. When she is stronger than me than she can kill me, a win in my book," said Naruto.

"You don't understand! This is the red dragon empress. Her partner is Draig, one of the heavenly dragons. She is not just a bit stronger than you; she is a large amount stronger than you."

"The stronger the better," said Naruto while he walked towards the woman.

"It seems like your partner want's to die, Intetsu," said a deep and powerful voice. A green orb appeared on the left hand of the woman.

Naruto slashed at the woman, and she blocked. "Are you really Naruto Uzumaki?" asked the woman before both exchanged 3 sword strikes in quick exchange. Yellow sparks flew around in the darkened room and lit the room up for a brief second.

Naruto was pushed back a bit before he said, "Are your ears really working? I didn't think you would be a woman with a terrible hearing ability."

The woman didn't react to the provocation and simply sheathed her Kusanagi again into the sheath behind her. She raised her right hand and held it open like she was grabbing some kind of round object. Naruto raised an eyebrow before his eyes widened when he saw how white lightning appeared around her right hand. It looked like an orb of white lightning was inside her right hand before it spreads and was dancing around her right hand.

"Come on, Satsuki! Come back to Konoha, it is not to late! You have the support of the entire village, why are you trying to go to that traitor Orochimaru?" asked Naruto while he stood in some kind of alley. He was wearing his Chunin outfit even when his flak jacket was shredded, and he had some bruises all over his body. His ocean blue eyes looked into the red eyes with 3 tomoe from the girl who was once his teammate.

6 meters away from him stood Satsuki Uchiha, one of the last living Uchiha in the elemental nations. She had long black hair with some spikes. Her long raven black hair was tied up into a high ponytail with 2 long bangs framing her face. She wore a blue shirt with a high collar, white shorts and blue sandals. Her headband was nowhere to be seen on her.

"I already said to you, Naruto… I chose this path for myself. You can't change my mind, you will have to kill me or otherwise you won't get me back to Konoha," said Satsuki. Her full evolved Sharingan in both eyes were spinning a bit before they calmed down.

"Don't try to use Genjutsu on me, you know that doesn't work on me," said Naruto while his eyes became blood red with a black slide. Satsuki simply scoffed and said, "I will win! I have to! I won't get strong enough in the village. I am too weak for my ambition, and nothing will stand in my way, not even you!" said Satsuki.

She made three hand signs and held her right hand up a bit. Blue lightning appeared around her right hand before she looked into the blood red eyes from Naruto. Naruto didn't say anything and simply created a rasengan without the help from a Kage Bunshin. It was only 2 weeks ago when he finally mastered the Rasengan with one hand.

The water began to ripple uncontrollably. Naruto and Satsuki didn't move while they watched into the eyes from each other. It was like they were doing a silent conversation just with eye contact. After a few seconds flew a single leaf between them into the water. That was the moment when Naruto and Satsuki charged forward towards each other.

'Was it because of me? Should I have stayed in the team?' thought Naruto before both were in front of each other. "RASENGAN!"

"CHIDORI!"

Both jutsus from A-Rank clashed into each other and shortly after a white sphere was surrounding both before the white sphere exploded and lit up the entire valley.

Naruto looked at the hand from the woman in front of him and then into her eyes. 'What?' He lowered his sword a bit which was noted by the woman. The white lightning around her hand vanished and she took a step forward.

"It seems like he remembers something, Satsuki," said Draig.

Naruto's eyes widen when he heard the name of the woman who looked exactly like Satsuki Uchiha from his memory just a few seconds ago. "That can't be…," said Naruto.

Satsuki stood now right in front of Naruto, looking straight into his purple eyes. "So, you are the loser I once knew," said Satsuki with a slight smirk.

Naruto narrowed his eyes and said, "If I am such a loser, what makes that you giving fact that you are here because of me? A lost little birdy?"

Satsuki lost her smirk before she narrowed her eyes. "Say that again, dope."

"Lost little birdy," said Naruto without hesitation.

Satsuki was surrounded by a golden aura for a brief second before she vanished. "Calm down, you are here to protect Naruto Uzumaki not to kill him. Remember that," said Draig.

"Naruto, you should not provoke her. It seems like you know her?" asked Intetsu.

"Not personally… you know about my weird dreams. I saw her in one of those dreams," said Naruto. "She looks exactly like in my dreams and even this lightning technique she just showed us was like the Chidori she used in my dreams."

"Anyway, why are you here, Satsuki?" asked Naruto while he went to his bed and sat down.

Satsuki went to the light switch and switch in on. Light came to the room and now Satsuki could look around for a second, analyzing Naruto's living arrangements.

Naruto didn't blink when the light switched on. "Definitely better than your old apartment back in Konoha," said Satsuki.

"Should I know this place called Konoha?" asked Naruto.

Satsuki looked at Naruto. "You don't know what Konoha is? It's the village we both lived in our previous lives," said Satsuki.

…

Naruto didn't say anything. "You really can't remember that?" asked Satsuki.

"No. I had weird dreams my entire life, but I never really understood what was said. It is only since 2 days ago that those dreams became clear, and I could actually understand what happened there," said Naruto.

Satsuki remained silent. 'So, he wasn't born with all the memories from our past lives like me… that would explain why he doesn't know me,' thought Satsuki.

"I will ask again, what are you doing here?" asked Naruto.

"I was sent here to confirm that you are really real," said Satsuki.

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Why would someone think I am not real?"

"You are the last living Uzumaki. For 200 years no one saw an Uzumaki since your clan was hunted and all believed that no one survived," said Satsuki. "I didn't even believe that you were real when I heard about the Uzumaki Clan. I thought I was the only one who got reincarnated into this world after I died in the elemental nations."

"Ok slowly… why was my clan hunted and why didn't someone know I existed? I was fighting in many underground clubs and in the streets. I didn't even try to hide my identity. I was a well-known fighter in the underworld. Next… what did you mean by reincarnation? Are you really the Satsuki from my dreams and do you say I am the Naruto from my dreams?" asked Naruto.

"I can explain why your clan was hunted, Naruto." Said Intetsu while it began to glow grey. Naruto looked at Intetsu that was lying beside him on the bed. He took Intetsu in his hand and hold it in front of him.

"I am all ears," said Naruto with narrowed eyes.

"The Uzumaki Clan had a long story in this world. Thousands of years ago, they sealed away a dangerous beast. No one knows where they sealed it and how they managed to seal the beast. The Uzumaki Clan was known for their usage of sealing magic, a very rare form of magic that was only available to the Uzumaki Clan. Many tried to copy sealing magic, but no one was able to recreate the seal magic that the members of the Uzumaki Clan could use. No one even knew how they got the knowledge for that.

It was later found out that every Uzumaki was special in some way. Not just because of their sealing magic or they longer lifespan up to 200 years beside normal humans… they all had dreams about another life."

Naruto's eyes widened. "Wait… so you tell me all my ancestors had those weird dreams as well?"

"Yes. They all dreamed about a life were they weren't from this world. It was never truly revealed what exactly they were dreaming about and in which world this dreams took place, but I would bet that they also dreamed about this elemental nations Satsuki talked about."

"So basically, I am not the Naruto from my dreams, I am my own person," said Naruto while he looked at Satsuki.

Satsuki simply stood there without saying anything. Naruto looked at Intetsu again and said, "Continue," said Naruto.

"The Uzumaki were hunted because they had the key to unseal the beast that was sealed away all those thousands of years ago. It was speculated that they all had the knowledge because of their dreams."

"So, you tell me… that I would sooner or later dream about something that would give me the knowledge how to unseal that beast and where it was sealed?" asked Naruto. "How does this even work? When something got sealed in THIS world and not in the elemental nations, how should I dream about it? That's just stupid. There was also the fact that in the elemental nations something called chakra was being used and not magic like here."

"I can't say this to you since no Uzumaki ever told someone this information. The Uzumaki Clan were the guardians from the seal that held the beast at bay. It didn't matter if an Uzumaki got captured and tortured to death. No matter how many pain was inflicted to them, they never revealed anything."

Naruto's eyebrows were showing that his blank face wasn't present right now. His face slowly filled itself with anger and rage. "Who did this to my clan?"

"Every faction over the thousand of years. Every major faction hunted a member of the Uzumaki Clan at one point or another."

"I would suggest you leave, Satsuki. Since I am not the Naruto directly from your old life, you don't have a reason to be here any longer," said Naruto. In his eyes was raging a fire of pure anger and rage.

Satsuki simply turned around before she looked over her shoulder. "I will be around Kuoh. When you calmed down, come to me," said Satsuki before she left the apartment. Naruto laid down on his bed, deep in thoughts.

"Hey Intetsu…," said Naruto after 5 minutes.

"Yes?" Intetsu was still in Naruto hand.

"Anything else you didn't say to me so far?"

"No. I had told it to you in the next days after you would have calmed down but now everything is said. No more surprises," said Intetsu.

"Really? I think you still know something that you should tell me," said Naruto while he looked at his ceiling.

Intetsu was silent before it began to glow. Naruto raised himself into a sitting position when he felt how Intetsu began to flow into the air out of his hand. Intetsu flew into the middle of the room before it changed its form. A stunning woman with long black hair and grey eyes appeared in front of him. She was wearing a grey armor where her belly was revealed to some extent and a part of her cleavage with 2 grey metallic wings behind her.

In a feminine voice said Intetsu, "This is my true identity. As you can see, I am not just a sword. I once was a Valkyrie."

Naruto nodded and turned back to laying on his bed. "Ok. Thank you for being honest, I will sleep. You can go back inside of me," said Naruto.

"As you wish." Intetsu changed back into a sword before it vanished in a grey light.

When Naruto opened his eyes, he was in a black void. He could see his own body but beside that everything was pitch black around himself. He didn't know how long he simply flowed in this black void before something caught his attention. He looked slightly to the right when he saw a little flame in the distance.

The little flame turned into a light before it became stronger and shortly after was so bright that it lit up the dark void. Naruto held both hands in front of his face while he closed his eyes. He could feel a warm feeling inside of his body while the light lit everything up around him. Naruto opened his eyes and took his hands away.

He stood now on some kind of graveyard. The graves were all well done, and it was clean for a graveyard. Every single grave stone was clean, and he could read every single name and word. He walked through the graveyard and looked at some names on the graves. One thing was clear very fast; every single grave was from an Uzumaki. The second name was always Uzumaki.

'Where the fuck am I?' thought Naruto confused. He really didn't know why he was here.

"Naruto." He turned around when he heard a gentle feminine voice behind himself. He could see a beautiful woman with long red hair and purple eyes. He didn't know why but he thought he saw this woman before.

"Who are you?" asked Naruto while he walked towards the woman. The way she looked at him was full of love and understanding. He couldn't help but feel drawn to her. It was like an unknown connection that bound him and her together.

"My Name is Kushina Uzumaki," said Kushina while she turned slightly to the right and signaled him to follow her. Naruto simply did what she told him to do and while both were walking through the graveyard, they had a conversation.

"Are you real or am I just dreaming again?" asked Naruto while he looked up into the sky were a purple sky was. He never saw such a sky before in his life. He already saw a blue, a red, orange, pink but never purple.

"Yes, I am real but not in the sense that I am still alive," said Kushina.

Naruto looked towards Kushina and raised an eyebrow. She looked at him with a warm smile. "You really are just like your grandfather. He was always so grumpy and clam. Sadly, you didn't get the personalities from me or your father."

"Wait! Are you saying you are my mother?" asked Naruto with wide eyes.

She only closed her eyes and smiled at him. Naruto looked at her with a shocked look. "W-what?"

"I know that you are going through a hard face right now and I would love to help you directly, but I am already dead," said Kushina. She stopped and reached out to him with her hand. Just when her hand was about to touch him, her hand simply phased through him as if she was a ghost.

Naruto could feel something that he never felt before when her hand went through his body… an unknown feeling so strong that it burned stronger than every sun in the entire universe. He couldn't describe it. It was a feeling that gave him a sense of comfort and safety. As if everything that happened was not important anymore. Gentleness, warmth, worry, a bit of anger, an unbreakable will and other things. It was indescribable.

He looked up to his mother and found his answer when he saw her tears in her eyes. She had a sad smile on her face while her hand was still in Naruto's chest. "I am so sorry Naruto."

"Huh?" asked Naruto a bit overwhelmed with the emotions that rose inside of himself. "You were alone your entire life. You had no one to explain to you the giant responsibility that came with being an Uzumaki. I wanted to see you grow up and raise you, but I couldn't because I failed."

Naruto looked into the teary eyes from his mother, unable to say any word. His feeling was a roller-coaster of emotions. He wanted to yell, to scream, to cry, to jump into the air because he finally saw his mother, he wanted to kill someone, he wanted to embrace his mother but, in the end, he did nothing from it. He simply looked at his mother with his full attention.

"I had to decide an hour after you were born. Either it was fighting an overwhelming opponent or giving up on you and flee. Since your father and I would have never leave you alone it was clear what we had to do. But we weren't strong enough because we were both killed in the end even when we killed the enemy as well," said Kushina.

"W-why didn't you simply leave me back? I was just a baby! You two could have just made another baby. I was alone my entire life and simply wanted to die! I was raised in an orphanage and got harassed by the other kids because of my red hair. I never found friends because the other kids spread rumors about me. At some point I just wanted to die but no matter what I tried; I simply couldn't die! I wanted to be reunited with you and dad, mom!" said Naruto while his vision became blurry because something wet was gathering in his eyes. "I never wanted this! I just wanted to be loved by someone!"

"Even when I began to fight with thugs or criminals, I couldn't die because I always won! Whatever I did, nothing worked, and my life became worse and worse with each passing day! I lost my sense of love early on in my life. Even when I tried to get the love and the respect from others, they simply ignored or assaulted me."

Naruto looked at his mother while the tears were flowing down his face without an end to it. "Why couldn't you just leave me and have another child? I hate my life and this way you two would still be alive and you would be happy!" His knees became weak when all the emotions from his entire life came to the surface. All the emotions that were being sealed away inside of his soul were breaking free now that they had the catalyst to finally be free.

Naruto got on both knees and simply cried. He didn't look at his mother anymore. He couldn't take it anymore. Why did he have to be the one? Why couldn't he be just a normal kid with a family? That's all he ever wanted. A family that loved him for who he was and nothing else. He gives a shit about everything else.

A family. That was everything he ever wanted from the start since he was a little kid.

His eyes widened when he felt how 2 arms were being laid around his head. He could feel a physical contact. He was gently pressed into the chest from his mother while she began to sing a song for her crying son. Naruto hesitated for a second before he hugged his mother.

He didn't know why she could touch him out of nowhere but that wasn't important right now. He simply wanted to feel her touch. Just like before washed an overwhelming feeling over his entire body. His shaking body calmed down a bit when the warmth spread to the last cell of his body.

"I am sorry Naruto, but your father and I could have never left you. We love you too much for that," said Kushina while she strokes his red spiky hair gently.

Naruto's eyes widen when he heard it. He leaned a bit back to look his mother into the eyes. She smiled at him and said again, "We both love you more than anything else Naruto. You were the most important thing for us the second we knew you were in my belly."

He opened his mouth to say something, but his voice didn't come out of it. Kushina simply hugged him, and he hugged her back. 10 minutes later Naruto had calmed down and was now sitting beside her on a bench that appeared out of nowhere. Both were smiling, especially Naruto who didn't look anywhere but at his mother.

"I still have to explain to you what it means to be an Uzumaki," said Kushina.

Naruto got a bit serious and nodded. "Yes… you mentioned something like that before. I only know that it has something to do with a beast that was sealed away and my dreams about another life."

Kushina nodded. "You are right, but there is more to it than you can possibly imagine," said Kushina. "Listen carefully, I will now explain everything to you. You are now exposed to the supernatural world and therefore it is time that you learn really everything that you need to know."

Naruto nodded and gave his full attention to his mother. He still remembered the words she said.

"I love you."

Only 3 words… but for Naruto those 3 words meant everything to him. Those three words were everything he ever wanted to hear and feel.

After Naruto have heard everything, he needed to hear from his mother, his mother told him something. "You ask yourself how no one found out about you, right?" asked Kushina.

Naruto nodded and looked into the purple sky. "I asked myself that question since I learned everything from Intetsu. How could I remain unknown when I moved from city to city and became a topic in the underground? Someone had to know me by now, but this all mess started 2 days ago when I turned into a devil. It was like a switch was turned around."

"This has something to do with an agreement your father and I made with the Gremory Clan," said Kushina. "We knew of the danger that was following us around. If really ever something happened to us, we wanted at least you wouldn't need to deal with the supernatural world as long as possible. Sirzechs Gremory has made the deal with us that he and his family would hide your presence from the supernatural world."

Naruto understood now why Rias Gremory always tried to talk to him when he was in school. Even when this was a rare occasion. She always tried to talk to him about something even when it wasn't important. He would bet that she knew of the deal and of his existence and his role as last living Uzumaki. He had a huge burden to bear, and he was sure that Rias also knew it. He was also sure that she was it who reincarnated him into a devil.

Technically had he a dept to pay off since she saved him a few days ago. Would he be dead then a catastrophe would be triggered and that wouldn't be good for the entire world.

Kushina looked up into the sky and sighed a bit. "Sadly, our time is over, Naruto-kun. I wish I could have spoken more with you," said Kushina.

"Wait! I still want to ask you so many questions," said Naruto while he stood up.

"We will meet another time, don't worry my son. At one point, you can visit this place when ever you want. But until this moment is reached, we have to say till next time for now," said Kushina and stood up. Naruto and Kushina were hugging each other with Kushina giving her son a kiss on the forehead. Naruto hugged his mother as if his life would depend on it. Kushina smiled and could see how Naruto slowly but surely vanished from the scenery.

Before Naruto vanished completely, he said, "Thank you, mother… I love you."

She got a few tears in her eyes and said, "I love you too my son. I am proud of you and happy to be your mother."

When Naruto opened his eyes, he had a few tears still on his cheeks. He raised himself into a sitting position and wiped away the tears. He remembered everything that happened and also the words from his mother.

"I love you."

How long had it been since he smiled in the real world? A few years if he had to guess. It was only a small smile but Naruto Uzumaki, the legendary delinquent who wanted nothing more than to die smiled. It was unusual to see his face so… peaceful. That would be the best word to describe his face right now.

"Hey Intetsu," said Naruto. Intetsu appeared in his right hand.

"Yes, Naruto?"

"I know now everything, and we need to talk."

"You seem different."

"I am," said Naruto with a focused gaze. He could see that the sun was just about to rise above the horizon. "It's time for an intense training. I need to clear my head and training should help me with that."

"You and training? You never trained in your life."

"I know. To this point, I didn't have a reason to life. Now I have a reason to live and continue the legacy from my clan."

Intetsu didn't say anything. She was surprised when she was honest. She didn't think that Naruto would get the hang of it so fast. She thought he would need 2 days or something like that. Something happened to him, and it had a huge impact on him. Like not even kidding, just 2 hours ago when he continues to sleep after he learned about everything, he looked simply like a puppet without feelings or care in the world but now he looked like a real person with life in his eyes.

"What happened?"

"Let's say I met someone very important to me. This person told me everything what it really means to be an Uzumaki," said Naruto.

"I won't ask any further, but I am glad you are now willing to life."

"I wanted to talk with you about a good training plan. I have all the knowledge and the skills from your abilities, but I am sure you can give me exercises that would improve my abilities in general."

"That won't be the problem. I will give you the perfect training when it comes down to your body, don't worry."

"I am looking forward to it." A few hours later Naruto was doing his training.

Naruto never knew how refreshing an intense work out session really was for body and mind. It was liberating, there was no other word to describe this feeling. The feeling of sweat over his entire body because you did an intense work out training was a very good feeling.

He did many full body exercises since he wasn't a power type. He always had a body that was more built for speed and stamina not for raw power. His martial arts and Intetsu gave him the power he needed to defeat his enemies.

He was at the moment doing a 20-kilometer run to finish off his training for the first day. This way he would learn to control his breath better and he would build up more stamina, which was a huge factor as Knight. As a Knight you had enhanced speed, but the enhanced speed also drained your stamina faster.

He always had high stamina, but it was never bad to build up even more stamina. Lasting long enough was sometimes the only way to win in a fight and since he now realized that he really needed to get stronger, he wouldn't hesitate to train as much as possible. He was still a new devil and wasn't as strong as he would like to be. Most supernatural beings could defeat him right now, at least the stronger ones. Satsuki was definitely way stronger than him right now.

20 minutes later he was finished. He was sitting on a bench inside of the park in Kuoh, drinking a sports drink which he bought on his way to the park after he finished. He looked at his hand and flexed it a bit. 'It's only the first day but I feel already better than before. I should have begun to train a long time ago. It is really a good feeling to train,' thought Naruto.

He took the drink away from his mouth and sighed satisfied. He looked up into the blue sky and watched the clouds for a few minutes until someone walked past him. He knew who walked past him. It was the Ice Queen from Kuoh-Academy. That woman was cold to everybody, no matter who was in front of her.

"Uzumaki."

"Vali."

Naruto lowered his head and looked into the silver eyes from Vali. One thing wouldn't change about Naruto. Even when he now had a reason to live; he was still the calm type who mostly had a blank expression on his face. He had found what he wanted after all those years… but that didn't change his past automatically in an instant. He just had too many scars from his past to be able to really smile like he should be.

He could enjoy now things but that did not change that he would still be seen as the delinquent because of his looks and his way of speaking.

"You met the red dragon empress by any chance?" asked Vali.

Naruto didn't flinch at the cold gaze she had on her face. "Yes."

"Where?" asked Vali.

"At my home," said Naruto.

"Why?" asked Vali.

"The question is self-explanatory," said Naruto.

Vali simply looked at Naruto and said after a few seconds, "I guess you know about everything then," said Vali.

"Yes," said Naruto.

"I see," said Vali. "Follow me then."

Naruto looked at Vali "You are part of Gremory's peerage?" Naruto stood up when Vali simply nodded. He followed her and drank his sports drink during the walk to the Kuoh Academy. It wasn't even the sunset and because of that there was enough time for the meeting that would have happened tomorrow anyway. He would have gone tomorrow to the Kuoh Academy to get new uniforms.
