Author's Note: Yo Unforgivenone here and I would just like to say sorry for my long absence, but during the time I have been absent I just didn't have the will to write anything, I was in a deadend job doing deadend work with nothing to really show for it and just getting angrier and angrier each day, plus with the added stress of still being a student, my fanfictions just got away from me. But I am back now and this fic has been circling through my head constantly for the last little while. Now my first order of business is to tell you all my fics will continue but I will try and edit them to better reflect my style of writing and so that I don't just let them stagnat becasue I have written myself into a corner and don't know how to write myself out of it. Secondly please review I like to get feed back (that is constructive) so I can see how people view my writing and point out any mistakes I may have made gramatical or story wise. Thirdly if you are going to flame my stories with stupid comments or some such stuff I will ignore and delete your review. Now this fic is a Naruto cross over with elements from Monster Musume, Monster Girl Doctor, High School DxD, and some elements from the Gamer, so if you have Ideas for equipment please either put them in a review or message me directly. With Out further adue Imma Gonna Shut My Big Yap and get on with the fic

PROLOGUE:
It was supposed to be a time of cheer and celebration, but instead, it was a time of mourning and sorrow. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, had perished while fighting off the Kyūbi no Yōko. Thankfully, their newborn child, Naruto, survived. A duo of elderly figures approached the bodies of Minato and his wife.
"Dammit, Minato!" One of them, an older man with light brown hair and a matching goatee, said. "I told you to let me seal the Kyūbi into Naruto. Now look at what you've done." Tears flowed freely down his face.
"Hiruzen," the figure next to him, an older man with shaggy black hair and the right side of his face bandaged, began, "Now is not the time to grieve for the former Hokage. We need to tally our dead, heal our wounded, and secure our borders. Let me take the boy to Lady Gremory while you find out the fate of Lady Biwako." He approached the young babe with blonde hair and fiery red streaks throughout.
Hiruzen, as he was now called, looked at the second man with a pained expression. "Thank you, Danzo, but I'll be taking up the mantle again due to Minato's unfortunate passing. My first order will be for you to take Naruto to the Hokage office. We need to ensure he is kept safe without putting anyone else at risk. Minato and Kushina had just as many, if not more, enemies within the village as they did outside. Given their proclivity for empathizing with the demi-humans, placing Naruto with another family, even temporarily, may endanger them. He will be safer in the Hokage Tower, surrounded by ANBU guards."
With that said, the two men began their respective tasks, each burdened with the weight of their duties and the somber reality of their new roles. Danzo stood there, looking down at the child for a moment before glancing at Hiruzen's retreating form and then back down at Naruto.
Sighing deeply, Danzo bent down and picked up the child. 'Hiruzen sees only the surface of tonight's tragedy,' he thought. 'There is more to Minato and Kushina than meets the eye. Their secrets and power extend far beyond what's known. Little one, despite your innocence, you are heir to a legacy that is older and more potent than even I can fully grasp. There may come a time when the power to shape or reshape the world rests in your hands. For now, though, try to hold onto your innocence and hope for a normal childhood. I will follow Hiruzen's orders for now, but know this: I will always try to help you through the hardships you will inevitably face, and perhaps hint to a few that they should introduce their children to you when the time is right.'

TIMESKIP: SIX YEARS LATER
—
Six years had passed since that fateful night, and though the village was rebuilt some scars never heal. Though all the physical scars left by the Kyubi's attack have vanished from the village, the emotional ones are still present and still very raw. For you see every day they had a walking, and talking reminder of the events from 6 Years ago in the form of a now 6-year-old Naruto Uzumaki. Now at 6 years old Naruto has longer blonde hair with fiery red streaks spread throughout it. He wears a tight black and sleeveless shirt with silver accents that outline his developing muscles, a metal plate on his collar, and black pants with two black straps on each thigh and another two strapped around his shins separate from each other. He wears black metal-plated shoes which appear to connect to his pants. As he walked through the bustling village he could feel the villager's cold stares boring into his back, although he was not sure what was worse the cold stares or the not-so-quiet questioning whispering of the villagers enquiring as to how and why he was still alive and why hasn't anyone finished what the fourth had started.
'Why do they constantly stare at me with those hateful eyes?' He thought 'Why do they wish me dead?'
His thoughts continued to decline into a deeper and deeper darkness until a soft whimsical voice interrupted the dark internal monologue,
"You, thinking dark thoughts again, fishcake?" the voice said, causing Naruto to look up and see the comical sight of a young girl in an oversized Miko outfit. The robe is too large for her tiny frame, the sleeves are bunched up around her wrists and her hakama pants are gathered around her ankles, almost as though she was playing dress-up in an adult's uniform. She has fiery red hair that flows freely, she has deep amethyst-coloured eyes that seem to have a shimmer of mischievousness and wisdom. The Miko uniform drapes loosely around her.
"Kiyomi, what have I told you about calling me fishcake?" Naruto asked with a slightly annoyed look rising to his face.
Kiyomi raised a hand, which caused her sleeve to fall and drape in the crook of her elbow, to her head and pointer finger on her chin, cocked her head to the side, a mischievous smile spreading across her face.
"Ummm, something about the next time I call you fishcake you're gonna try and fail might I add, at trying to prank me into my adulthood, well it was at least something along those lines. Why are you going to try something?!"
Naruto was about to say something before realizing that Kiyomi was trying to egg him on and get a reaction out of him. So he shook his head and started walking toward his destination again.
"So Fishcake, where you going?" Kiyomi asked once again using the nickname she new he disliked,
"I'm going to try and get some training in with some of the Liminal families if they're not busy, and then I was hoping to try and get some ramen," Naruto said as he continued to walk toward Konoha's demi-human district. Kiyomi looked at Naruto and grinned,
"So you aren't going to do or plan any pranks today?" She asked causing Naruto to look over his shoulder a glint in his eye and a wide smirk showing off his slightly extended canines giving him a more feral look,
"We'll see." Was all Naruto said turning back towards his destination. Understanding the message that Naruto was hinting at, Kiyomi started to laugh.
"Well then I'll be sure to enjoy the festivities as they were." She said as Naruto continued toward his destination, all the while continuing to chuckle even as a pair of figures crept up behind her.
"Must you bother him so?" A male voice asked in a serious voice causing Kiyomi to look up at the speaker.
"Aww, having a hard time dislodging that stick from your ass today Sparkles?" Kiyomi asked, causing the second figure to snort.
"So," Kiyomi began, stretching with a playful smile. As she did, her body began to change before the pair's eyes. Her oversized miko uniform, which had once been too large for her, now began to fit her perfectly. The fabric of the robe started to adapt to her form, accentuating her curves and contouring to her shape. Her arms and legs seemed to grow into the sleeves and pant legs, which had previously bunched up comically around her. The once-loose garment now draped elegantly around her, as if it had always been tailored to her figure, and almost as though to refine her appearance better, two fox ears sprouted from the top of her head, while nine fox tails emerged from her lower back, her once human eyes narrowed into vertical slits, and fur started to grow on her arms and legs, giving her overall appearance a more feral look to it.
"Remind me again why we don't just grab the target and bring them back?" Kiyomi asked, looking over her shoulder at the two figures behind her.
"Because," the second figure started "We have direct orders from Lady Shirami and The All Mother. Lady Shirami has read in the stars that the opportunity will present itself within the next year."
"Oh, a year? Do tell me what does your All-Mother think of this?" Kiyomi asked while cocking one of her delicate eyebrows.
"The All-Mother doesn't like it but given that we only have to wait another year she understands." Replied, the figure that Kiyomi called Sparkles.
Sighing, Kiyomi turned around facing the two figures. "Well then do give my apologies to Naruto when next you see him and tell him that while I would have loved to see what he has in store for his coming pranks, I unfortunately had urgent business elsewhere."
One of the figures looked at Kiyomi as she walked past. "So you want us to tell him you moved and couldn't see him off. Why can't you just do that yourself?"
Kiyomi stopped and looked over her shoulder, her amethyst eyes almost seeming to carry an ethereal glow to them.
"Because I am still hunting down the one that took the Lady from us, and when I find them I will have them begging for a death that will never come. That is the price they will pay for the sin they have committed." Kiyomi stated the conviction, reverence, and sheer hatred evident in her voice. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a job to do and a- well you get the point."
With her piece being said Kiyomi gave the two figures a wink and then disappeared in a swirl of Violet Flames.
"I would say I pity the insect, for when Kiyomi finds them, but I find myself with a lack of caring for the life of one lowly insect." One of the figures stated "Let's go, we have our work to do and we have a meet- Rather I have a meeting with Lady Gremory. While you do whatever it is you plan to do."
With that being said the two figures walked off in separate directions going about their business with no one seeming to care.

Meanwhile With Naruto
—
After leaving Kiyomi to her own devices and having no knowledge of what transpired after his encounter with her, Naruto approached the gate leading to Konoha's demi-human district. As he neared, he saw the imposing figures of the district's guardians. Wary of past confrontations with some of the guards, Naruto muttered "well hopefully these two are nicer than some of the others."
Upon closer arrival to the gate he saw that on the left side stood, a formidable female Minotaur at an impressive 7'2". Her olive skin and large, curved horns added to her intimidating presence. She had cow ears, a tail, and hooved feet covered in deep brown fur. A large, decorative cowbell jingled softly around her neck with every subtle movement. Her striking two-toned hair—white at the front blending into black—flowed into an elegant ponytail. Her dark blue shinobi attire highlighted her muscular build and functional strength, and her deep green flak jacket was adorned with a detailed security emblem: a shield divided into four quadrants, each featuring different symbols of strength, balance, protection, and security.
Likewise on the right side stood, a colossal female Centaur of monstrous proportions, standing at a staggering 16ft tall, with her lower horse-half stretching an extraordinary 23 feet in length, She is truly a pinnacle example of her speices. Her long blonde hair, elegantly curled at the ends, contrasted with the snow-white fur of her lower horse-half. Her light skin and striking brown eyes conveyed a deep sense of calm and resolve. Her flak jacket, similar in design to Thalia's but tailored for her larger frame, featured the same security emblem and provided comfort and protection with extra padding and an integrated neck guard. Her muscular build and imposing stature reflected both strength and nurturing capability.
Together, the Minotaur and the Centaur stood vigilant, embodying the fierce strength and noble grace of their respective heritages.
As Naruto approached the gate, The Centaur held out her hand.
"Halt," she said. "You are approaching the Liminal district. What business does a human have with our kind?"
Before Naruto could respond, The Minotaur spoke up.
"Naruto, you're back?! What brings you here today?" she asked, prompting the Centaur to look at her friend with curiosity.
"You know this human, Thalia?" She asked, to which Thalia nodded.
"Of course I do, Elysia," Thalia said. "He's been given special privilege to enter by the Draconess Lady Skadi."
Elysia looked at Naruto, then back at Thalia.
"Well, if that's the case, state your business," Elysia said.
Naruto met Elysia's gaze. "I'm here seeking training from any of the liminal families that have the time to spare."
Elysia rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Of course a human would refer to us a Demi-" she started before her eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, did you just refer to our people as 'Liminals'?"
Naruto cocked an eyebrow, closed his eye and exhaled in annoyance at her sudden change in attitude and nodded slowly. "Yes I did. Why wouldn't I? I'm here to ask a liminal family, if they should have time to spare, to use what little free time they might have to aid me in training. So it's only proper that I use the proper term not only because it's more respectful but also because it's the proper term to use when referring to your people." Naruto said, hearing Thalia snort he opened eyes and beheld Elysia's expression, her eyes were wide with surprise and her jaw was dropped in shock, upon realizing what she must have looked like Elysia coughed into her raised fist and tried to regain her composure.
"*Ahem* Well then its good to know that at least some humans know how to properly refer to the people. You may enter but know that all eyes are on you, and should your intentions prove to be less than pure we will know and promptly remove you from the District."
Elysia said causing Naruto to nod his head start to move but then immediately stop.
"Before I go, I apologize if this seems rude, but you wouldn't happen to be part-giant, would you?" Naruto asked the innocence of the topic clearly evident in his voice.
No sooner had the words left his mouth did Naruto notice Thalia wince at the question, and then he saw Elysia's eyes widene in surprise, her jaw dropped slightly. The unexpected question momentarily catching her off guard.
"Naruto, thats a very touc-" Thalia started to say before Elysia stopped her.
"Its okay Thalia, listen Naruto was it," Elysia started and upon recieving a nod of acknowledgement from him she continued her voice steady but tinged with a hint of restrained emotion, "Listen Naruto, while it's not technically rude to ask, some of us Liminals prefer not to share their heritage, not out of a need for secrecy mind you but because people can be cruel. In my case I usually prefer not to disclose the situation of my birth, but due to how you asked and your innoncence in regards to the topic I will answer your question, Yes I am Half-Giant. Now run along we don't get paid to just stand here and chat with everyone alright."
Naurto looked Elysia in the eyes then looked down, it seemed like he was wrestling with something before he looked back up at her nodded his head and said
"Thank you for your answer and I'm sorry if my question brought up something unpleasent."
With that being said Naruto finally entered the Liminal district.

Well that is the Prologue of this fic tell me what you think tell me what you'd like to see go on. I did fail to mention one thing above there will be elements of slavery in this fic and Naruto will have slaves, but before I spoil anything I will let future chapters show his attitude and reasoning for owning slaves and what he has planned. So until then if you are offended by the thought of Naruto owning Slaves then please do me a favor and don't read this fic and don't just post a review that has nothing to do with the fic I plan on making the scenes where slavery is involved humane, tasteful and as respectful as I can. I in no way shape or form condone the owning of slaves in a real life scenario but this is pure fiction with no real basis on real life so that is why I feel I can write this with a clean and clear concience. Now ONE MORE THING that I failed to mention above is that there will be characters being transformed into monster folk and so I hope to keep you intrigued and would like to hear your opinion on the matter. Now before I spoil anything Imma Shut My Big Yap.
