A helpless baby Naruto somehow found his way into the dream after experiencing what it felt like to have a nine tailed demon fox. He was clearly poisoned, bruised, and hungry. It was just like all those other fantasy fanfiction's that existed in writing.

Naruto always remembered the dream he had it every single night. Time simply passed differently whenever he was asleep in the Hunters Dream. Time stopped in the dream whenever he awoke again and he could wake up when he was in the middle of throwing wooden ninja stars or exercising. The Messenger's had apparently noticed the young baby as soon as he had arrived. "Those Messenger's" Naruto thought have always looked like dead and unborn children fused together tightly and their skin was always pale. They were always described only as the "fleeting will of the ancients" with their sole purpose only being to find the next Hunter for the Moon Presence.

"This babe was too young to be here" Gehrman thought as he could clearly see the bruised and clearly poisoned young blonde haired child that somehow found it's way into the dream. Gehrman watched out the window as the Messenger's began to play with the young infant like he was one of their own.

The Plain Doll walking behind him grabbing his wheelchair and pushing his form closer to their Newest Guest. Gehrman began to see the damage the child was poisoned, starving, sick, pale, and in constant pain probably because of the tattoo that was placed on the baby's stomach. He read the name that was attached to the clothing that the baby was placed inside of "Naruto".

"What are we to do with the boy" The Plain Doll asked the Gentleman. "I don't care but send him back from wherever he came from once your done playing with him" Gehrman said watching as the Messenger's gave the boy an Antidote. He didn't actually care how the boy got here only that it hould see himself return from wherever he came from. Gehrman could definitely see the difference between the boy and what could be described as a yharnamite.

"Gehrman breathed a sigh of relief once the baby went away only to return the next second far more healthy than when it left. His hair had slightly grown out and was scattered around color had even returned to the child's skin. Sighing again instead of dealing with this problem he decided it would be best to roll himself away.

The young one Naruto was somehow able to barely make out the Pale Doll. The child's hand's reached up for her and she accepted his hand in her own. The Plain Doll picked up little Naruto and cooed to him "he's injured again Gehrman should we treat him" The Plain Doll looked back towards Gehrman who was trying to leave. "A blood Ministration while helpful to do now will be unnecessary if he is somehow tied to the dream than that poison will only make him stronger also im not made out of bloodbag's so it's his tough luck.

The Messenger's began to play with their guest once again. ow that Naruto was fully awake and filled with endless energy.

Naruto had been able to visit the dream as he grew up every night for year's whenever he fell asleep. There was simply an endless sea of white flowers for as far as he could see and within the same dream he had every night there was a lifeless Doll and an old Man. The Messenger's told him of were what the Doll was called and they had also told him of what the Old Man's name was. That Old Man Gehrman always refused to speak to him or take him seriously at all. Hokage Jiji was concerned at first when he first found out he had a reoccurring dream but after many year's have passed they both chalked it up to being just a strange dream he had.

"You'll be able to learn when once your old enough sadly it just safer to tell you once your old enough" Huruzen told the young boy already knowing about Jinjuriki mindscape's but potentially chalking it up to it as also the seal. He was concerned when he found out that Naruto didn't sleep for hours like a normal person but that would only help him once

The messenger's had always cared for Naruto so they had always been there for a long time, they played with him when he was younger and even given him a little food. It was just always strange that nobody had a dream like him and not even the Hokage could see the friendly Messenger's.

Year's passed and by the time he began joined academy training he had gotten used to his routine. He never felt tired at all and whenever he was tired he could just sleep and wake up again in seconds. Naruto was at the academy but he noticed that he didn't recall anybody else enter the Hunters Dream like him as the Messenger's themselves called it.

Gehrman was just at first annoyed since every time the boy left he came back another day older. He knew he shouldn't or rather it wouldn't have bothered him at all if they simply never met one another again after that but it had angered him to see. The boy was just punching the air clumsily throwing his fists training. Naruto's footwork was just plain bad that fighting style was purposely designed to make sure the boy died before the battle had even begun. There was multiple mistakes that he could see his form's obviously someone had been teaching him and it was absolutely downright terrible who in the world would tell him that was how he should fight. Who the hell was teaching the boy the basics, Gehrman knew that Naruto would sometimes come here to rest when he was again obviously beaten and tired but telling the boy the wrong way to throw a punch was just plain idiotcy. The boy was throwing sharp star's like they were just bricks. He had also just begun tossing them everywhere just like where had he been aiming he had missed every single one of his shots if it was the tree he had been aiming for. It was a week of pure torment before he couldn't take it anymore and had to step in.

"Welcome back Naruto to the Hunters Dream" Gehrman spoke rolling up his chair beside the young boy. Naruto was a little frightened starting looking at the old Jiji that sat in a wheelchair and it was clear somehow he snuck up at him. "How did you sneak up on me, are you a Shinobi mister?" Naruto asked quickly. "No im not a Shinobi I am a hunter and I have noticed your training"

"A hunter like those guy's that leave the Village to hunt for food?" The boy asked. "Something like that except the kind of game I hunt is far different than a simple bear, dear, elk, or boar" Gehrman said chuckling at his own joke. Well yeah im training and going to be a Shinobi once im older and then im going to be the next Hokage.

"That must be the king of the Shinobi a very strong title and such a goal for one already so young" Gehrman returned saying. "That's right im going to be so amazing when im older" Naruto said but he was interrupted. "But who taught you how to throw your clearly being taught but so far you have only landed a single star and your footwork has been terrible to have to witness"

"B- But that's what I have been taught at the Academy how could it be wrong"

"Fighting anything shouldn't ever make you feel uncomfortable and clearly you have been overstepping whenever you have been practicing regularly. Now I Gehrman wouldn't know about your strange fighting style purposely and weirdly designed for hand to hand but I could clearly see that whenever you were throwing anything be it Ninja Star or Fist that you were doing it messily" Gehrman finished speaking.

"Do you think you can teach me how to throw Wheelchair Jiji, you know just like you" Naruto asked. This came as quite the shock for Gehrman but he was the Hunters Helper and it was his duty to prepare the hunter and end the night. From now on you will be my apprentice until Im ready to send you out to explore Yharnam on your own.

"What's a Yarn im" Asked Naruto

"Never you mind that yet since I've still yet to teach you the basic fundamental's. Now these weapons are clearly star's and are best not grabbed with the whole hand. Actually let's just start you off with choosing yourself a proper trick weapon from the storage box" Gehrman said showing him to the box.

Looking through the box Naruto only found three types of weapons inside. One looked like a cleaver and it was serrated on one side it had sharp teeth but it looked like it would fall apart even though it looked deadly sharp. The Axe on the other hand looked very reliable but he didn't know many shinobi who would pick a heavy axe so it would. The last weapon looked like a stick or rather a walking cane.

"Hey what's whith these weapons Wheelchair Sensei I thought you were legit" Naruto asked quizzical over what he found inside. "These don't look like normal weapons that I've seen before, I would rather have an actual sword or a Katana" He said, he was six year's old and he would be thirteen by the time he graduated.

That had been one week ago, after explaining the majesty of Trick Weaponry did Naruto finally see the bigger picture. So far his favorite was the Cane since the Axe transformed into a bigger Axe while the Cleaver just seemed Heavy but it didn't even matter since Gehrman had him learn all three of them. Once he was done learning basic dodging and basic swordplay did Gehrman just show him how to get to Yharnam. Gehrman said this to a boy who had only started his first year in the academy not even a month ago.

Naruto was allowed to enter and exit Yharnam through the Messenger's Lanterns, blue lanterns that just seemed to glow blue when lit and apparently there would be more lanterns he could light and find along the way at least he was told that much when it started. He suddenly awoke in a Hospital room it was devoid of light as well as patients.

But when he was in a place that smelled like medicine twirling his Cane in one hand. He suddenly felt a chill go up his spine. He walked up a staircase and a woman staring speaking to him.

"Are you in need of something, Are you a hunter. My name's Iosefka and this is my clinic" The woman said while looking out. "Hello my name is Naruto Uzumaki and my Sensei sent me here to gain some experience" Naruto cheerfully said energetically.

"Your just a boy, whatever are you doing alone outside on the day of the hunt" Iosefka asked while slightly leaning on her door. "Im sorry but I cannot open my doors to anyone it could endanger my patients. But you said someone sent you here to gain some experience are you learning or are you a hunter" Iosefka asked.

"Yeah how'd you know Gehrman Sensei was a hunter" Naruto had asked her. "Please take this and this Iosefka said giving Naruto a note that said "seek the pale blood" a letter as well as a Blood Vial. I- is this blood and a letter addressed directly to him. Always remember yourself Naruto you are not a beast" she said while leaving the doorway.

"Ok thanks" Naruto just turned around and tried the other way instead giving the blood to the helpful Messengers that followed him always. Stepping into a large room the largest he had seen here so far he stopped in his tracks as a

"Just go out and kill a few beasts it's just what hunters do. Don't think to hard about it once you truly learned how to hunt we'll return and continue working on your mistakes" Naruto remembering what Gehrman told him before he was sent off to hunt. Before the boy now was a Scourge beast right inside the Clinic. It was an enemy that was just feasting upon a dead man, Naruto's young mind had simply become blank like what in the actual world was that thing. Naruto to his credit had easily gone unnoticed even with his bright orange jumpsuit. Gehrman tried on multiple occasions to make him replace it before he stopped by saying it will eventually change into a darker shade on its own. Whatever did he mean by that Naruto didn't actually know but the color orange was just simply way to awesome.

"That thing in there was eating somebody's body" Naruto frantically thought besides the point. He didn't know if he was actually ready to kill it. "But it was eating a human" Naruto repeatedly told himself. "It was in the same building as he and Iosefka" Naruto continued to worry about the kind lady and all of her patients within the clinic. That was the only reason he talked himself into acting those patients were completely unprotected and Gehrman wouldn't be any help in his wheelchair. He grabbed ahold of his Threaded Cane and approached it from behind making sure to not make a sound. He hit it as hard as he could causing it to let out a whimper like a regular dog would make when struck. Switching his weapon into a whip he noticed that it had staggered and fallen slipping upon the blood. He switched his cane into a whip and started slashing just like Gehrman taught him how to do.

Once it died he stood in place completely completely covered in blood. Now he realized why Gehrman didn't care is he changed his clothing or not. He was completely covered in blood from head to toe and all his orange clothing turned into a very dark red color. He returned to the Hunters Dream after calming down to tell his story to Gehrman and the Bath Messenger's.

"Calm down kid this place was once a safe Haven for Hunters that fought against beasts like the one you just slew now you know the type of beast's I hunt. This Dimension will bring you back from death as many time's should you die out there but the blood you might find will have very little use in healing you until you get yourself a proper Blood Ministration.

"How will blood help with hunting monster's" Naruto asked already feeling confident in going back out.

"Yharnamite's blood is very special say if you ever get hurt just pop open a Blood Vial and your wounds will heal far quicker than normal. But you seem very green if just that much made you piss yourself" Gehrman shot back.

"I didn't piss myself" Naruto countered back with his retort.

"Right well let's just move on to our next lesson fighting off multiple enemies" Gehrman said.

"Why would I need a gun when i could use Kunai, Guns are still just so loud?" Naruto asked after firing off a weapon. "It's best to be prepared and not need one than need one and not have it, there is nothing wrong with a good knife but a gun just has a certain kick to it so just trust me when I say you'll be needing extra firepower on your hunt. Wrong footing, try again your feet are unbalanced when you shoot" Naruto remembered Gehrman telling him as he side stepped the enraged Yarnimite. He looked like he was already afflicted by the curse so Naruto felt better that he was at least able to put another person to rest at least he thought he was doing good work.

He found a lever and pulled it after searching around the area and finding a cool Molotov Cocktail. When he began climbing up the ladder he heard a large screech from something way over in the distance that made his blood run cold.

"My name's Gilbert and your not from around here are you kid" Gilbert said breathing harshly. "There is nothing to be gained from here this place will do more harm than good so try to leave this place for your own sake" The sick man tried to say while he was coughing. Don't go over the edge boy don't become another Yharnamite run while you still can.

My name's Naruto and Im a hunter out on my first hunt just like Gehrman Sensei, are you sure your ok old man do you need any help or something.

"Your definitely not from Yharnam kid" Gilbert laughed. "People around from Yharnam aren't real nice to outsiders just so you realize. Life here is cruel on the best day and the Night of the Hunt turns everyone into their inner beasts. So no I don't need any help, tonight Is going to be my last night I can feel it in my tired bones and im ready to face it since im old and already lived a full life. But you said you were a hunter that's sad so here have my personal Flame Sprayer it has served me well my whole life and it should serve to protect you on your first hunt.

"Thanks old man for the weapon I'll be sure to visit you later to tell you how everything went" Naruto said while walking cane in hand. "Yeah hopefully I'll see you again" Gilbert said while going to sleep not planning to ever wake up again.

Naruto had run into trouble the moment he found the next group of enemies. It was a dangerous task he had been set out to do but it was required at least the boy had thought so. Naruto just had a second sense on who to trust like that old man Gilbert or Iosefka but everyone else that lived here just rubbed him the wrong way.

"Who'd open the door on the night of the hunt you must be mad, Lousy Outsider's leave before we open fire at you. Don't want anything to do with you kid your probably just a beast trying to make me open the doors.

Bells Tolling in the distance Naruto had also heard the sounds of crying people or women far in the distance. Pyre's and crucified body's where on every corner of every street he visited. Carriages and Coffins left opened up and abandoned it was all tremendously difficult for the kid to handle the situation like an adult.

Garbage Bags, filth and statues that always just seemed to always be looking directly at him littered the streets. Sometimes he would find a corpse without a casket or any limbs still attached. An executioner had just been staring back at him through a gate waiting for him to get near.

"Your not from around here are you" the women said laughing with her friends. "stuck outside on the night of the hunt, oh you poor poor thing" She said laughing at the boy left outside. The bells tolled again and whispers started coming into his ears like he was clearly missing the bigger picture in all of this. He didn't actually care if everyone here treated him like he was a stranger because he was a stranger. At least they didn't go out of their way to beat him up like the villagers usually did

The Giant's he seen around had been frightening at first glance. Naruto was fully equipped to deal with them by now shooting them at just the opportune moment. Any time he encountered a large group of enemies fire worked best oftentimes he would toss a molotov at a group and their beast side would become affected by the flames. He thanked Gehrman Sensei for convincing him to always bring a gun along to hit his enemy's down while they were at their weakest. Besides that there was only a flock of giant Crows in the area that he had slain with a single Molotov.

He hadn't died once and he wasn't planning on dying any time soon. While he was in Konohara he relaxed himself and took the time to enjoy being a student at the academy. His grades have begun steadily increasing and he was sure he wouldn't flunk enough times to get expelled. He was still in his first year in the academy but he noticed that the teachers weren't truly instructing him on how to properly mold his Chakra. So far the only Jutsu he learned was the Leaf Sticking Exercise. Noticing this he had gotten better at his stealth and started pulling pranks on his teacher's. It was very difficult to convince himself to stay brave and push forward but he had an iron will so it couldn't ever be broken. All he had to do was survive this madness and with the help of Wheelchair Sensei he could be the greatest Hokage and save the people of Yharnam.

Naruto noticed he could take stuff into the dream as well as bring stuff out with the help of the Messenger's. He planned to make use or abuse this ability to bring some Ninja Rope or even to make upgrades to the Workshop since that place is just tombstones. So far he used it for smaller stuff like food or clothing but he found that the Messenger's were always helpful enough to supply the shop with all types of food and extra pairs of his favorite jumpsuit. He was especially hungry after a long hunt through the night. But the cost of such amenities had to be paid in blood echoes it was stuff he sort of picked up whenever he killed a beast or popped a cold blood. He didn't know what it was or what it could be used for but after asking Gehrman only said that Echoes would be helpful to have later on.

Naruto was able to hear the distinct sound of Music playing behind a locked gate. He would easily be able to climb over the locked gate or even if he wanted squeeze around the wall. Even though he could have done so he pressed on since he wanted to clear the area of any immediate threats before he continued on opening every other path.

He came up on some stairs after defeating a giant and looting all the item's that had been around it. He came face to face with more than one dog this time but he had faced a larger group the last time. Upon reaching the top of the bridge he could see that the bridge was occupied by two Scourge Beasts like the ones he had killed in the Clinic. Beyond them there was a few Yharnamite's hiding behind a wall that were trying to ambush him. Beyond them from what he could see was another Brick Troll surrounded by a flock of crows.

There was another path he could take one that went down a single stone staircase. He found that this area oversaw the area that had the largest group of Yharnamite's very crazy population. Any enemy that he slayed always left their corpses behind, so new enemy's ether came from somewhere else or grew again somehow. This wasn't the same with large populations that usually shambled in from another part of Yharnam.

It was just strange that whenever he was mid battle and covered in blood he felt a small part healed and powerful. Another part of his soul ether wanted more and begun begging him to drink from the many Bloodbag's he found around. He'd never purposely want to use the Beasts Blood so he had never have a Blood Ministration but sometimes a little bit of blood would go down his throat whenever he had to breathe mid battle.

Right well he had tied a rope leading down into the city from where he was at for later. Instead of going down into the sewers from what he could see down a ladder behind a Monolithic Grave he went and fought the two Scourge Beasts instead. The two Scourge Beasts had put on a decent fight. He had a keen sense and timed his attacks correctly. His dexterity was amazing since he always was practicing with his fingers and he knew every single Shinobi Hand Sign by heart. Naruto wanted to fight them one on one but the second one joined the fight.

Naruto had to jump between them and escape from being cornered. He had underestimated this enemy because that one he had slain in the Clinic had been easy. Naruto swung hard an blood started flying towards him instead of dodging it he tried drinking in am much as possible for that power boost that it gave him. After getting so much stronger he had easily been able to cut through the two wolves the Yharnamite's and the Brick Troll that had noticed his commotion.

He was slightly tired but it was nothing to be worried about, he was coughing some out some blood but it wasn't his, he strangely felt full but his hunger quickly returned after resting for twenty minutes. Blood apparently gave him some kind of power boost when it was inside of him and more blood would cure his illnesses. He began to feel hopeless while he was here he had to slay monsters before they could hurt people but it began to feel like an insurmountable task. Is this what it feels like to want to become the next Hokage he would never give up on his dreams but he had to take the first steps in order to climb this monstrous mountain.

Naruto was energized with his conviction he will become the next Hokage he can survive this nightmare and nothing will stop him from saving everyone. Right as he was about to go up to the large wall did the air suddenly change dramatically. It was the Cleric beast a monster that had once been a hunter and it had looked at Naruto like it was just a little snack. Naruto looked back at the huge building sized monster fear started setting in while he faced this insurmountable thing blocking the way. It had started chasing Naruto across the bridge tearing through the archway that seemed to be keeping the thing from just destroying everything else. He seemed to just momentarily pause thinking how such a thing even existed in the first place.

The beast didn't care for what the bow was thinking at the moment bring his claws to crush and tear the boy apart. It was the Apex beast in the area it would simply destroy the boy and leave to prowl around the area once again. Naruto snapped out only to nearly get his head taken off his whip did little damage but there was blood just everywhere he was completely drenched in blood. The beast only continued to bleed and the boy took the opportunity to get stronger as the fight progressed. It was the Cleric Beast's blood that substantially boosted Naruto's chances in the fight while the Cleric Beast continued to get weaker with the amount of blood loss it substantiated.

Naruto had no other method than being a leach that wanted to survive the Night. When the Cleric Beast finally fell dead did Naruto try and rest. His person was simply covered in a dark red his Orange Jacket was no longer Orange and he would need to buy another set from the helpful Messengers. He found that the Cleric Beast dropped a Hunters Badge and a lantern leading back to the Hunters Dream had appeared on the bridge.

Once he returned to the Hunters Dream did he witness the unusual sight of the Broken Doll just waiting for him. He blushed at how pretty she looked now that she was awake. "Welcome back Naruto" she said in a very nice female tone. "Hello do I know you?" Naruto asked. "No not really but I have always known you ever since you were little" She Giggled. "Me and Gehrman had seen you grow into the young man that you already are, but I have always been here waiting for you to gain a little Insight" she said enthusiastically.

Naruto somewhat remembered looking at her moving once but he had gotten used to her as an unmoving object. "Insight what exactly is that and how did I get It" Naruto asked. "Insight is something that gives you clarity, If something is secretly watching your every move you'll be able to feel it. It might also help you make the correct path if your stuck on a difficult pathway. Insight like the name suggests make you realize important information willingly or not. Having a lot of insight could protect your mind but it was make you overthink thing's and sometimes ignorance is bliss.

"Oh I think I understand, having Insight will allow someone to see underneath the underneath" Naruto said plainly thinking on how it would be useful for a Ninja to have. After repairing his weapon he decided to talk with the Doll again.

"Would you like me to channel your Blood Echos for you" The Doll Asked. "What can I do with my Blood Echoes and how do I get more?" Naruto asked. "The Echos you have can increase any of your attributes and you gain Blood Echoes by using Cold Blood or slaying enemies, Vitality increases your overall health it is useful if you plan on tanking attacks and it increases your base health but it might not prevent you from getting crushed or surrounded. Endurance will allow you to stay in a battle longer and with a large stamina pool you'll find yourself less likely to be tired in the middle of a fight. Strength makes you stronger while skill improves your finesse with a weapon's. For example those shuriken that you carry will have drastically improved damage if you increase both those stats. Bloodtinge increases your chances on landing a Visceral Attack after firing at a vulnerable enemy. It also give better aim during high speed battle's whenever you use knives or any kind of ranged weapon's. Arcane is the final stat and the most mysterious some Hunters had said it increases their ability to find useful item's such as useful Cold Blood. But it's main use is useful in preforming abilities that require internal energy. It's unusual but you also have a completely different stat that is almost at max level Ninety Nine" she answered. "What happens if a stat reaches max level" Naruto asked. "Nothing but it will be beyond my ability to improve it further but the weird thing about you that I've noticed is every point you place continues to strengthen a completely different one of your stat's.

"I get it now my luck also increases my Arcane but if I put in points into Arcane it will increase a different stat. Naruto decided to place a single point into Arcane to test it out.

Arcane 20

Luck 100

"So it increases my luck over a hundred automatically then but that also means that the more points I place in now will only help me out way later on" Naruto said aloud. "Not necessarily young hunter attributes like strength and skill can increase by themselves overtime if you put in the extra effort of working out but it all depends on what you train, I can only push you to level ninety nine" The Doll said. Naruto was listening but he needed way more echoes early to properly grow way stronger now. He could work out way later once he reaches max level. "Right from now on whenever I visit just increase all my stats increasing the lowest one first" Naruto asked trying to secure his late game build early. Arcane and Luck were tied together, Vitality was tied to Endurance, Strength was tied to Skill and Bloodtinge was tied to Chakra Control.

The time he spent in Konohara was enlightening since he fought that Cleric Beast. Sometimes he would hear whispers when he put his ear against the wall which is weird since he no longer had any neighbors. He would sometimes go to school and now he stopped bothering the pretty pink haired girl because his intuition told him it was simply a bad idea. His newfound intuition simply helped him not make basic mistakes like eating spoiled milk or going through a certain area. It could also be that his Arcane was changing the world around him nine extra points and he found himself finding abandoned item's as well as money under rocks or in the river of all thing's.

His Academic education was progressing nicely and he decided to take a small brake in order to try and at least aquire a Jutsu. If his Arcane increased item discovery his Luck stat increased his item Quality then it was only a matter of time before he discovers a new Jutsu.

Today he was sitting by the cool river waiting for a new Jutsu to float down the river. Any Jutsu would be helpful to have in Yharnam if he was caught unaware by the danger. He attributed his no death down to being a lucky bastard but going any further than he had without Jutsu sounded very bad. He started scratching his head in annoyance once nothing happened. "This is a complete waste of time" he shouted out loud after five seconds of waiting by the river.

"Speak for yourself dummy" Naruto heard a voice say. "Hello is anyone there?" Naruto turned and asked aloud before he just heard a splash in the river. Turning around again quickly he only saw random ripples in the water. Naruto had just heard a splash it was just that a strange occurrence as he continued to go to school eat and learn how to be a shinobi. Nobody wanted him to get a Jutsu since he was still in his first year. "Hey Sensei can you teach me a new Jutsu" Naruto asked. "No Naruto we don't teach Jutsu yet, not until the final year of the Academy" Naruto's current Sensei said while letting out a sigh. "Keep practicing the Academy fighting style just like I taught you and im sure you'll soon be able to use Jutsu naturally one day" He said playfully.

"So you've killed yourself your first real beast, it's about time I say" Gehrman said wheeling his chair closer. "I baffled to admit that I foresaw you die many time's before you would have eventually succeeded" Gehrman chuckled to himself.

Naruto continued to flip central Yharnam over again chucking any important item's he might have accidentally passed by. He decided to try out that tunnel filled with rats that he skipped by for gear and item's since none of his Academy teacher's wanted to take him seriously.

When he was exploring and killing a few wild dogs when he heard an old woman ask if he knew about any safe places. He responded with "No not yet Granny I can't think of any place not even Iosefka's clinic would be willing to open it's doors to outsider's" Naruto said knowing how Iosefka didn't even let him look around inside.

"A young boy are you and out and about on the hunt well you remember your obligation to help me" the Old lady had threatened out her door.

"Alright Old Lady, jeez I'll come back for you later once I find a safe enough place to leave you" Naruto answered back.

"You very well better, since this entire mess is your Hunters falt. If ony you lazy bum's got off your lazy ass and fixed this problem we wouldn't even be happening in the first place" She yelled out.

"Alright grouchy old lady I come back if i hear any place that's safe" Naruto said continuing on. It appeared like every monster he had continued to slay dropped some kind of item probably because of his high Arcane and luck stat. He could literally sell off the excess stock should he need to do so. Naruto had so many bloodbag's in excess that he didn't know what to do with them. He knew such blood was valuable and used in Blood Ministration but he didn't require one and he had seen what the blood has done to the regular people. The Messenger's that had raised him were always helpful in taking off anything excess he couldn't carry off of his hands, so maybe he should open his own shop with the help of the Messenger's in Konohara they had already followed him whenever he required them. He could even introduce new items for extra cash but he wouldn't ever introduce the blood to anyone unless he absolutely trusted them.

He had continued to find Cold Blood, Quicksilver Bullets, and Blood Bags. He had found a Saw Spear on a body hanging from the ceiling a pretty cool weapon with two serrated edges he would just take back into the workshop. As he wondered if he could introduce the idea of Trick Weapon's to a blacksmith. He saw a Rat chewing on a body of a young man that seemed to be holding on to a Glowing Skull.

He had grabbed the skull a bit too tightly and his Insight had gone up. He could tell what kind of dangers would be present in the sewers. "Note to self Glowing Skulls increase Insight" Naruto said putting the note inside of his Notebook. Anyway he was encountering Giant Rats and Wolf Yharnamite's or men that looked like they have been Beast's for a longer period of time.

The Rat's were a easy enemy but the Beast Men were stronger and knew how to still use weapon's. He had no other way forward to go besides the Sewer System every other way seemed blocked.

So far with the training he did in the Ninja Academy it helped him reach hard to reach places.

He had continued to find Blood Stone Shard's and Throwing Knives stuck within enemy's. He came upon a Ladder that almost went up to the bridge he faught against the Cleric Beast. He wasn't going to let a shortcut pass him by if it offered itself up so he went up a ladder. He found another one of those Glowing Skulls Guarded by crows this time. "Having more insight didn't seem to affect him in any negative way" Naruto thought and shrugged crushing the item within his hand. He simply felt a presence in the back of his mind that something was wrong or eye's were watching him. That was a normal feeling when he was in Yharnam but it changed into something else when he was in Konohara.

He encountered a Brick Troll this time holding onto a statue after crushing the skull. Some people lived here but like always Yharnamite's were rude to outsiders. He was able to hear a music box the same music box that he passed by before because the gate was blocking his way. He went up the ladder after killing the Brick Troll and he was on the other side of that gate he passed by. After pulling the lever he had been able to open the gate even though he could have just climbed over it or even squeezed around the architecture it felt good to open up another pathway.

"I know that smell are you a Hunter" Naruto heard a young girl voice say. "Can you please look for my mom

Daddy never came back from the hunt, she went to find him but she never came back please im all alone and im scared" She said.

Naruto looked back at the girl in pity "im sure your mom and dad are both safe out there" Naruto replied. The night of the hunt was a dangerous time to be wandering outside so he should know how dangerous it really is.

"I promise to and I never go back on my nindo it's my ninja way. If their both out there I promise to find them or bring them back and that's a promise. Hey you know what's so special about making a promise with me" Naruto asked the cheerful Girl.

"What" the girl asked.

"Making a promise with me is special because I would never break a promise ever" Naruto replied back to the crying girl.

"Than what's your name" she asked him. "My Name is Naruto Uzumaki and im going to be the one that finishes off this hunt.

"You act so silly but alright my name is Viola Gascoigne, I can believe in you Naruto please bring them back safe" The girl blushed happily at seeing such a cheerful individual just like him. She had blushed in embarrassment at just having to see his smile since a smile like his was just so unusual to see in Yharnam. "Just what kind of hope did Naruto have to have a Smile so bright"

My dad has white hair and my mother wears a Red Jeweled Brooch you wont miss it, it's so big and beautiful. If you find my mom give her this music box whenever our daddy forgets us we play it for him so he remembers us again. Thank you so much I know you can do it" she happy said smiling and waving him goodbye. "Just remember it plays daddy's favorite song so you'll know it's him when he remembers us"

"Do you have any other family I should be looking out for as well Viola" Naruto asked. "My uncle and my sister should be out there looking for them as well" she finished speaking.

Naruto had gone around town using the Music Box hoping to find any trace of Gascoigne family only for it to make sense that Viola's family would have to be somwhere he hadn't checked yet like the Chapple. He found an extra Hunter's mark in the sewers beside a now dead Man Eater Boar. He completely went under the angry mob and the trap the Brick Troll that looked suspiciously like a trap.

"Was that a white haired man chopping up another man" Naruto hoped Gascoigne wasn't the one chopping up body parts or getting chopped up himself. "You'll be a beast sooner or later" The white haired man said aloud. "Wait are you Gascoigne your daughter" Naruto tried to ask but the man interrupted with an attack because he was just too far gone. Instead Naruto tried speaking about his daughter's and using the Music Box. The music stunned the man into clawing at his own face until he got ahold of himself again.

"Please stop and think about your family" Naruto shouted out playing the music once more.

"Try to listen to the music box, we don't have to fight one another. Your wife is still out there looking for you she may be in trouble". He had ran around the area and spotted a Blonde haired Woman wearing a Large Red Jeweled Brooch that had the name Viola same as the music box. The dead woman and their daughter were both given the same name.

Father Gascoigne turned into a beast that completely resembled a monster after he used the Music Box too many time's. He was too late to save him Father Gascoigne had completely lost to the beast within. Father Gascoigne turned into a beast right before his eye's. Naruto knew it was too late and he wouldn't allow Gascoigne's daughter Viola to get anywhere near this monster.

During the fight he had been able to use the Music box to his advantage since Gascoigne still couldn't handle hearing it play. Naruto realized that Father Gascoigne couldn't be brought back he had butchered his own wife and wouldn't dare remember what he had done to her.

Just as Naruto was about to leave the area did he sit down and cry the body of Gascoigne had begun to turn back into what it once was. "Well done boy you have defeated me, take this key and open my stash inside the shed under where my wife body lay" Gascoigne said while passing over the key.

"Are you still fine do you need blood" Naruto asked desperate to keep the man who regained his sense of self back.

"No time for that, just take care of my daughter's they will need you" Gascoigne said while passing over the key. "Besides my body is dying the beast within is causing me to f- forget and I wish to join my wife in the afterlife. Thanks your a lifesaver kid" Gascoigne said before he simply lay there unresponsive.

Odeon Tomb Key

Naruto did as instructed and found a treasure chest. He was able to open it up with the key. What lay inside well nothing of significance except Gascoigne's own written experience with the hunt. Family photos, A super shotgun, a Kin Cold Blood as well as a Workshop Tool. He had locked both body's inside the building and locked the door again.

That are had been completely dangerous experience one that forced Naruto to grow. Naruto had begun to let his tears escape him. The tears weren't for his own hopelessness but of sadness that he hadn't been able to keep his promise to that girl, the girl that had lost both parents. He didn't know what to say when he returned to her about her parents. So instead he opened up the Tomb of Odeon and made his way inside Oderon Chapel the center of Cathedral Ward for now.

The smell of Incense was so heavy and he saw a blind dweller covered in a red robe.

"You must be a hunter, very sorry the Incense must have just masked your sent" The Odeon Chapel Dweller said. "Everyone is welcome here hunter people are waiting it for it to end but Yharnam is done for I tell you" Chapel Dweller said.

"Please tell others about this here Chapple if they seem worth being told that is because there is no safer place in all of Yharnam than this here Chapple" The Dweller said.

"Right I'll be sure to bring people here" Naruto said before lightly sobbing.

"Are you alright you don't have to hold back, my mom said that I wouldn't amount to anything just because of the way I looked" The Dweller said learning to live with it.

"It's not you, it's just something sad has happened recently but I'll tell others about this place. I just need to sort myself out before that" Naruto asked returning to the Hunters Dream after lighting the lantern.

"Really that's great I mean it's great helping out others but I honestly hope you get better soon" The Dweller said.

Naruto had returned to Konohara for now to get his thoughts all sorted out. Huruzen had noticed the change his surrogate grandson had been going through. He had begun showing improvement in every single one of his classes this past year.

So he invited him to eat something that would always cheer him up. Sorry Jiji I've been having strange dreams lately" he said while slowly slurping his Ramen down.

Huruzen did think the boy looked at least a little bit more down than usual. Considering the situation how could I help if you don't tell me about it" Huruzen said aloud to the boy.

Naruto was able to muster up the courage but started off by talking about Viola then went on to talk about the rest of Yharnam ending with the Chapple Dweller.

"You shouldn't be so worried about it if it was just a bad dream" Huruzen said aloud smiling at the boy.

"Yeah right I know but everything there just seems so real and I've recently been able to take stuff inside and outside of the dream.

Now that got Huruzen's attention "You are able to take stuff outside" Huruzen said now alert. "Yeah with the help of the Messenger's, normal people aren't able to hear them but they do manage everything I pick up" Naruto answered back pulling out a Trick Weapon from nowhere and handing it to the Hokage.

"Naruto this may not be a dream that your having if it can have an effect on reality like that" Huruzen said while admiring the dual purpose of a trick weapon.

"Whoa do you mean to say that everything that I did in there was all real" Naruto shouted out. "But doesn't that mean that Gascoigne and his daughter's" Naruto asked aloud.

"Now I see the burden you bren carrying, you don't want to break the news to this girl you promised. That her father killed her mother and you tried to stop him. But you did the necessary thing and gave him rest when he turned into a monster. That Chapple seems to be the safest place for his daughter and the Dweller seems like a good one to trust.

Naruto I can't stop you from going into the Dream but I must advise you to be very careful from now on. So far your luck has been carrying you so far but eventually you may face something that requires you to become skilled. My advice is for you to learn whatever you can here, try to take time on mending yourself and your mind" Huruzen said sagely.

Already Huruzen was thinking of his own plans concerning the boy. He would have to spend some time going over what he heard. That spark in the boy was still there but he wondered how this Nightmare came to be. He was the Hokage and he hoped that the boy would continue to find friends and loved ones here and continue chasing his dream of becoming the next Hokage.

"Should he spend time teaching Naruto he was the busiest man in the whole village. Perhaps a Yamanaka would be able to help him cope with his troubles. Ninjutsu on the other hand could help him alleviate his troubles in the dream if they worked but it wouldn't tie him to the village. Perhaps he should send him Scrolls on Fuinjutsu or something about his family, maybe starting a small friendship and marrying him with a clan heiress could also work. Perhaps he could influence the team templates and spark or ignite something between teammates that would further tie Naruto to the Village" Huruzen thought through his calculated mind.

Whatever im going with the plothole that Naruto failed the Academy Exam three times. This didn't mean he was held back at all but he could have been in the Academy at the same time as Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee. Students study Shinobi Academy for four year's before graduation at age Twelve.

Next chapter he should be at year two and Rock Lee, Tenten, Neji should be at year three. Oh and a new story im just practicing my writing hopefully soon I'll be able to finish all my projects but still get experience.
