Ok back with part 2 of Maelstrom of SOLDIER Home sweet slum I'm thinking each chap from this point might have multiple parts dunno. The writing tool I am using won't let me edit over 20 pages long, possibly 30 or it gives me crap.
Anyway, people have been asking for Gaia even if it was just two or three since I am going to try to stick to my two chapters-a-week routine.

Home Sweet Slum Part 2
~night~
Naruto was tossing and turning in his bed sweat pouring down his face like he was having a horrible nightmare.
~Dream~
"Where am I? Is this Gaia?" Naruto asked himself as he looked around the red dead Planet with Tornado's raging and lots of buildings destroyed. Then he looked off into the distance and saw to his horror 2 amphibian titans. One was blue almost like it was Sapphire and another, which was all green like Emerald and had 4 eyes, two blue and two yellow.
"No," Naruto said in shock and terror. Then he heard a roar and looked up before he saw a giant black dragon overhead.
"This-This can't be Gaia the world...There is no world," Naruto said before he felt a tremor. Then out of the water came a gray-looking monster with huge shoulders before they opened up and started firing rockets.
But perhaps the most frightening thing about these things which Naruto could only believe was Gaia's defense. However, the WEAPONS had a pitch-black aura around them and there was a figure upon the Gray WEAPON that looked like him.
"THAT'S ENOUGH YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING FOR THE SIDE OF GOOD. SO WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING THE WORLD!" Naruto shouted which turned out to be a terrible idea when they all turned then they gazed upon him before the dark figure pointed at him and the WEAPONS let loose a fury of attacks making him scream in pain before he was vaporized just like the rest of the world.
~Dream end~
"NO!" Naruto shouted as he shot up sweating and breathing heavily.
"Gaia," Naruto called out softly before a hand rested on his shoulder before he turned his head and saw the planet spirit there smiling at him. But then frowned when she saw his state.
Naruto was a trembling mess. His body shook like he was having a seizure, his hands shook uncontrollably, and he had a huge amount of sweat pouring down his face.
"Gaia-chan is-is that you?" Naruto asked in a meek and scared voice making Gaia nod but blush at the use of her name before she sat down beside him.
"My precious Champion, what may I ask what has you so afraid?" Gaia asked before Naruto began to tell her about his dream.
~one explanation later~
"That is very disturbing indeed, Naruto-kun. It would seem you may have caught a glimpse at one of many possible futures," Gaia told him.
"But that future it can't be. It was so dark everything was destroyed. Tornadoes raged everywhere and your creations were destroying the world all in a black aura. Am I a Clairvoyant now Gaia-chan?" Naruto asked still shaking before Gaia released her power to ease his shaking, if only just a little. Then continued. "Gaia that figure sitting on the gray one's shoulders was me am I-am I meant to destroy the world," Naruto finished before Gaia took him into her arms unconsciously pushing his head into her breasts and stroking his hair.
"Be at ease, my dear Champion. That future will NOT happen because you are stronger than that," Gaia told him softly.
"But what if I stray?" Naruto asked in a muffled voice due to being in the valley of her breasts before Gaia released him. Then she surprised him by giving him a soul-searing kiss. But not just for passion but also to push a portion of her powers into him before she broke the kiss and smiled at him.
"As long as you have your precious people I know you will NOT stray. After all, I chose you to lead this world from THAT darkness," Gaia said in complete confidence, one that made him smile.
"Thanks, Gaia-chan," Naruto said making Gaia smile before he heard a soft knock on his door, making him narrow his eyes before Gaia vanished.
'Aside from Tifa, Cloud, and maybe Barret no one else should know I am here,' Naruto thought before he grabbed Ravelt and quietly made his way to the door. Before he opened it and quickly pulled the person on the other side inside and held the blade to the person's neck only to widen his eyes when he saw Elena smirking at him.
"Elena-chan? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked, widening his eyes in surprise but also confused since he thought she was still playing mole at Shinra along with his other loyal friends.
"Tseng sent me here to get the people out of Sector 7. Should the worst come to worst," Elena said, making Naruto narrow his eyes again.
"So the old fool is planning to have the Sector 7 plate dropped huh?" Naruto asked, making Elena shake her head.
"No not yet but Tseng felt it was better safe than sorry," Elena said with a smile while Naruto nodded seeing that as a good plan.
"Well if the vision Cloud and I had of the burning plate falling. I would say that is a good idea too," Naruto said Elena agreeing with him.
~Lemon start~
"So Elena-chan is that honestly the only reason you are here? Or are you here for something else?" Naruto asked, making Elena smirk.
"Well, what if I told you I want something more Na-ru-to-kun," Elena said in a sexy tone tickling his chin before she grabbed him by his shirt and led him to the only chair she saw in his room and pushed him down before she started dancing in a sexy way for him and started stripping.
"Wow," Naruto said panting, making Elena smirk seeing what she was already doing to him before she was in her bra and panties. Then she spun around and started shaking her ass.
"Just think about it, Naruto-kun. No one but you and the girls you decide to share your heart with shall ever see this side of me," Elena purred before she spun back around bent over placing her hands on her legs. Then in a very sexy way dragged them up her body moaning softly.
"Oh Elena-chan," Naruto moaned, feeling himself swell up. Before she looked down at the tent in his pants and smiled.
"Oh my, is that a carrot in your pants? Or am I making you aroused," Elena asked before she got on her knees and undid his pants before she pulled them and his boxers off him and his dick smacked her in the face.
"Oh my it seems little Naruto is happy to see me," Elena said giggling before she grasped his dick in her soft hands making him moan then she stroked him a few times making him moan louder before she took him into her mouth and started bobbing her head. While Naruto quickly pulled out a silencing seal and threw it on the wall before he shouted.
"OH ELENA!" Naruto shouted, making Elena smirk before she brought her free hand down and started playing with his balls while Naruto played with her beautiful blond hair.
~30 minutes later~
"ELENA-CHAN I'M CUMMING!" Naruto shouted before he came down her throat. Which Elena dutifully swallowed it all as she made a show of swallowing it before opening her mouth and showing him it was all gone.
"Well I can clearly see where Aerith-chan gets her playful side from," Naruto said panting with a smile while Elena giggled. She wouldn't admit it out loud...Well to anyone that wasn't him but she did have fun corrupting her after she and Naruto got together.
"I don't know what you are talking about," Elena said before she sat on his lap before kissing him, and started taking off his upper clothing then roaming her hands on his chiseled
"Mmm sculpted by an Adonis," Elena moaned before she started kissing his chest but stopped and frowned when she saw the horrible scars and burn marks littering his chest
"I still can't believe those bastards did that to you," Elena said with a frown. She, like Tseng, Reno, and Rude, had seen the many scars on his chest when he was training and was horrified when they saw it.
"That was my past. They can't hurt me anymore," Naruto said before he guided her head up and kissed her again before she leaned into him pushing her medium-sized breasts into his chest. While he snaked his hands down to her butt and started groping it making her groan and moan into his mouth.
"Oh Naruto-kun I can't take it anymore please fuck me," Elena panted before she stood up un-clipped her bra freeing her breasts as they bounced and pulled down her panties before she made her way to his bed. With Naruto not too far behind staring at her jiggling ass and licking his lips seeing her dripping pussy.
"Naruto please, I need it," Elena begged, pouting at him, making him smile before he got between her legs and started eating her, making her cry in pleasure.
"OH NARUTO-KUN YOU TEASE YOU!" Elena cried but wrapped her long legs around his head as her pussy was eaten by her lover. While he brought his hands up and groped her now-freed breasts making her cry more in pleasure
~30 minutes later~
"I'M CUMMING!" Elena shouted before she squirted all over his face before she let his head go and she panted while Naruto looked at her and licked her juices off his face.
"Delicious Elena-chan now get on your hands and knees," Naruto said with a grin making Elena smile before she rolled over and got on her hands and knees then shook her ass.
"Well go on Naruto-kun fuck me," Elena said before she moaned when Naruto spanked her as her ass rippled from the smack before he pushed himself into her pussy then took her hips and started fucking her making her shout and cry in bliss.
"AHH OH FUCK YES NARUTO-KUN THAT'S WHAT I LIKE!" Elena cried out before Naruto grabbed her breasts pulled her to her knees and started pounding into her faster, licking her neck and nibbling, making her moan harder and louder.
~40 minutes later~
"OH NARUTO-KUN I'M CUMMING AGAIN!" Elena shouted now bouncing like a woman possessed on his dick having cum over five times before Naruto finally came filling her up before she collapsed falling on top of his chest and breathing heavily with sweat pouring down her face and a VERY pleased smile on her face.
~Lemon over~
"Oh Naruto-kun you magnificent stud. I am surprised with how many times you have filled Aerith and me up. We haven't become pregnant yet," Elena said, laying her head on his chest with a content look on her face.
"With everything that has happened and that is about to happen in the coming days I don't want to take any chances. That's why I placed a seal on you two to prevent that," Naruto said with a smile while Elena looked at him smiling back.
"But you do want kids eventually right?" Elena asked before Naruto tilted her head up and kissed her.
"Eventually but right now It's too risky. But when everything is all said and done and we can all be at peace then yes we will have a family together," Naruto said with a smile.
"Even with other girls that love you?" Elena asked while Naruto looked at her shocked before she giggled.
"What? Don't think I didn't see the looks Cissnei gave you when she was in Shinra," Elena said before Naruto widened his eyes.
"You mean you didn't know? Cissnei left after Zack was confirmed dead," Elena said sadly remembering how pissed she was when she heard he was killed.
~flashback~
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN ZACK IS DEAD!" said a furious young woman with a slim and athletic physique. She has tan skin, wavy shoulder-length red hair, and golden-brown eyes. She wears the standard Turk uniform consisting of a black suit, white dress shirt, black tie, dress slacks, arched dress boots, and fingerless gloves. This was Cissnei.
"I am sorry Cissnei but we were too late to save Zack. When we finally got there he was littered with bullet holes. Fortunately, he took a bunch of soldiers with him before he did," Tseng said seeing how if Zack was going to go down he was going down fighting.
"FORGET ABOUT ME WHAT ABOUT NARUTO-KUN? DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN HE FINDS OUT!" Cissnei shouted before Tseng smiled before it hit her and she gained an evil glint in her eye.
"Shinra is going to regret the day they killed Zack," Cissnei said while the others, including Elena, smirked with her.
"Indeed we even provided his escape too," Tseng said before they heard multiple explosions and tons of screaming making them nervous.
"Well I guess he wanted to send his own message before he left," Tseng said, pulling on his collar and feeling pity for any soldier that found him while Elena rubbed her legs together along with a discreet Cissnei.
~flashback end~
"So it is safe to say I caused quite the panic that day," Naruto said proud of himself making Elena giggle.
"That you did. I still can't believe you blew massive-sized holes into the building though," Elena said amused at the damage he caused. Even if they had to clean up his mess after making Naruto chuckle.
"Sorry," Naruto said, making her giggle before she closed her eyes along with Naruto before he deactivated the silencing seal.
~next day~
*knock knock*
Naruto and Elena groaned when they heard a knock before Naruto got up and got dressed while Elena got up and started dressing as well.
"I'm coming," Naruto said, grabbing his shirt and then opening the door just as he put his shirt on he saw Tifa on the other side who blushed seeing his shirtless form but frowned seeing all the horrible scars and burn marks littering his chest.
'By Gaia those are terrible,' Tifa thought in horror but frowned more when she saw a semi-naked Elena in his apartment.
"I'll see you later Naruto-kun," Elena said with a smile and kissing him.
"See you later Elena-chan and thanks for the warning," Naruto said before he turned to Tifa, seeing her frown.
"So I see you met Elena already," Tifa said, crossing her arms beneath her breasts while Naruto chuckled sheepishly.
"Ya Elena is an old comrade of mine from when I was in Shinra," Naruto said with a grin while Tifa widened her eyes.
"You mean she is a spy for Shinra?" Tifa said in a panic before Naruto calmed her down and shook his head.
"I wouldn't say that exactly. Call her my spy. However, I think Tseng sent her in case people didn't believe us. Anyway Cloud and I had a vision of a burning Sector 7 plate coming down and killing everyone and she confirmed that in time it will happen," Naruto said while Tifa frowned.
"They will believe. The landlady that owns this complex is a friend of mine. If two people say the plate is going to fall and I side with you then she will believe it as well," Tifa said with a firm nod making him nod trusting his friend.
"So if Elena-chan, Cloud, and myself were to tell this landlady that the plate was going to fall and you back us then the entire of Sector 7 would believe us if this woman said she believed you?" Naruto asked making her nod but frowned for some reason when he added the suffix to Elena's name but wasn't sure why.
However, before they could continue they heard a commotion so they looked next door and saw Cloud attacking a robed man. So they intervene and Cloud says that it is Sephiroth which concerns them as they only see the robed man.
"Relax Cloud that isn't Sephiroth," Naruto said, making Cloud look at him. Then he turned back and saw a robed man who he thought was Sephiroth.
"Naruto-kun is right Cloud his name is Marko. He came here about a month ago all sick so I took him in," Tifa said not realizing she added kun to Naruto's name, and thankfully neither did he.
"Reunion," Marko said, then groaned before Tifa helped him back to his room. But not before Naruto saw the number 49 tattooed on his upper left arm.
"That is the third one," Naruto muttered before Cloud looked at him with a raised brow before he waved it off before Tifa came back out.
"Why did you think that was Sephiroth? Naruto killed him that day when he burned down our hometown," Tifa told him before Naruto jumped in.
"It must be the Cells in his body. You see every SOLDIER undergoes Mako transfusion and those who pass like Zack and I. Though both of us were thrown into the program became SOLDIERs. However, those who fail suffer from Mako poison. It could be that Hojo kidnapped both of them and injected them with Mako but Cloud's body couldn't take it and developed Mako poison," Naruto said with a frown.
"So the cells in him are making him hallucinate Sephiroth then?" Tifa asked while Naruto shook his head yes and then no confusing her.
"You see when I killed Sephiroth he was holding a head which I can only assume was Jenova. Since the room he was in was labeled Jenova. It could be that when he fell off the catwalk and into the Mako the Jenova Cells were overwritten with his," Naruto said then thought of something he had overlooked before. "Now that I think about it though his eyes were that of a SOLDIER but Hojo said I was the first to be introduced to the project," Naruto finished shocking them.
"So there is a chance he is alive then," Tifa said, touching the spot where Sephiroth cut her.
"In those injected with Jenova Cells? Maybe but not so much in body. At least I hope not," Naruto said with a frown remembering his nightmare and how terrible it was and hoped Gaia was right and that it never happened.
"Well since you helped with the job here is 500 gil. I am sorry if it isn't the 2000 as agreed but we had to use the rest preparing for the mission," Tifa said while Cloud just shrugged and said it wasn't a big deal. Before she looked at Naruto and frowned.
"I will help for free. After all, you are my friend. It wouldn't be fair if I took advantage of that," Naruto said with a smile shocking Tifa but smiling anyway. So with that Tifa led them to Seventh Heaven to talk about a job she had lined up before she saw an older woman. With a slender physique, fair skin, blue eyes, and long light gray hair tied in a large spiky bunch behind her head. She wears a long green sweater, a long-sleeved dark dress, a slim black leather belt, black tights, and black sandals. She wears a blue and gold necklace and a pair of hoop earrings. This was Marle and she was the landlady of the apartment he, Tifa, Marko, and Cloud stayed in.
"Greetings Tifa, how is the apartment?" Marle asked with a smile while Tifa smiled back before replying.
"It's good but my friend has some info I think you should be wary of. I told him that if I was there you would be more inclined to believe me," Tifa said before Naruto stepped forward while Marle smiled at him.
"I had a vision that I wasn't sure if it was true or not at first. But a friend of mine Elena confirmed it. You see I believe that the Sector 7 plate will be falling soon because of Shinra," Naruto said with a serious look while Marle looked at him seeing the serious look on his face, and nodded while looking at Tifa confirming what he told her as well as what Elena said.
"When will it fall?" Marle asked but frowned when Naruto shook his head.
"That I am not sure. From the vision Cloud and I saw and the confirmation I got from Elena it will happen," Naruto said while Marle nodded.
"Very well I will have an evacuation plan for when it happens," Marle said with a smile before Naruto held out his hand making Marle do the same as they shook.
"Thank you. If possible I would like to save everyone when it happens,' Naruto said while she nodded before the trio made their way to Seventh Heaven.
~Seventh Heaven~
"So these water filters help provide water without relying on Shinra? Crafty," Naruto said while Tifa grinned while Cloud smiled a little before Tifa led them to their first stop which was the item shop.
~Item Shop~
"Tifa how are you? So nice to see you again," the shopkeeper said with a smile while Tifa smiled back.
"Who are they?" he asked, seeing Naruto and Cloud smiling at Naruto but frowned seeing Cloud's serious look.
"These are my friends Steve. We are here to change your filter for you," Tifa said with a smile giving him the new filter. While Steve smiled and gave her the old one.
"While we are here, why don't you both look at what they have? You might find some stuff you need," Tifa said while Steve nodded so they decided to look.
'Hmm, I'm good on potions. I have like 50 in case of an emergency. Though I am running low on antidotes. I have like 10 left, better get 70 more. I never know when I might need them or anyone else,' Naruto thought, so with that he got an extra 50 and paid for the amount which was no big deal to him because he had 300.000 gil on him.
"Wow, you sure you need all those Naruto-kun?" Tifa asked not noticing she added kun for the second time making Cloud smirk.
"Better safe than sorry as Tseng was always quick to remind me back when I was Shinra," Naruto said with a chuckle, making her giggle seeing his point.
"This Tseng must worry about you then kid," Steve said with a smile making him nod.
"You could say that. Even saved me from this 1 woman before I abandoned Shinra after a certain incident," Naruto said with a shiver while Tifa looked at him remembering what he said and was happy he managed to get away.
"Girl trouble I take it?" Steve asked while Naruto shook his head.
"More like she-demon," Naruto said thinking back to what almost happened if he didn't have that remote tracker but also making Steve shudder before he paid Naruto despite him saying he was doing it for free which Steve said he insisted.
Then she took them to Marles who gave them the money but became concerned when she noticed the bags under Naruto's eyes.
"Are you alright? You seem stressed?" Marle asked while Tifa looked at Naruto and noticed the bags under his eyes as well.
"Ya, I am ok. Just a nightmare that sometimes springs up ever since I killed Sephiroth, nothing I can't handle," Naruto said with a smile which seemed to work for Tifa and Marle but didn't convince Cloud one bit.
'He is lying to not worry anyone. Naruto, just what kind of nightmare did you have?' Cloud thought concerned about his friend and figured he would ask him later.
Soon they made their way to the weapons shop, however.
"Noway you expect me to pay for a filter that didn't even work," the shopkeeper said irritated that he was given a filter that didn't do its job until Naruto stepped forward.
"Please we will make sure this next one works as it should," Naruto said smiling while the owner looked shocked but for some reason smiled.
"Very well here is your pay as well as the old filter. The name is Jack by the way," Jack said, handing over the old filter along with the gil.
"You did well Naruto. I am impressed," Tifa said with a smile while Naruto grinned at her.
"Brute force isn't how I like to do things. Unless it's Shinra I am dealing with," Naruto said while Cloud chuckled before the three left.
But then Naruto went back inside and looked at Jack as if remembering something.
"Hey, now I remember you. You're the guy that gave me Ravelt," Naruto said while Jack looked at him with his eyes wide before he chuckled while Tifa looked confused.
"Afraid that was my twin you are thinking of. Though he did tell me of a nice young man who came into the shop as if being called," Jack said, seeing the sword he carried.
"Ya works like a charm. Even figured out how the other forms but sadly one doesn't work well with me," Naruto said, making Jack raise a brow.
"I can't use one of the forms because I don't know how it works," Naruto said, making Jack frown.
"Well don't worry I am sure you will figure it out. If we still had the notes on the blade forms we could help ya but sadly they got lost," Jack said while Naruto smiled.
"Oh well I like a challenge," Naruto said, making him laugh before he left the shop.
Naruto, Tifa, and Cloud headed upstairs to see Biggs and Wedge in another room where they told them about the neighborhood watch.
"So this watch is so monsters don't wander into town and start causing trouble?" Naruto asked while Biggs nodded before Wedge came into the conversation.
"It is our job to keep an eye out for the people in the Sector 7 slums and it also doesn't hurt that people will start asking for your help and provide more jobs for you to take," Wedge while Naruto nodded seeing his point.
"So Scrap Boulevard then I take it?" Naruto asked while they nodded before Naruto took out a digital map he made a few years ago when he was here to see if anything had changed.
"Wow that is a pretty detailed map you have there bro," Wedge said, seeing all the locations of the Sector 7 slums.
"Thanks, it isn't complete though. There are still places I haven't been to yet down here," Naruto said, not even bothered that he was called bro again.
"So you have no idea where Scrap Boulevard is right?" Tifa asked with a grin, receiving one in return.
"None at all," Naruto said, brave enough to accept help if she was offering like he thought she was.
"Well allow me to show you the way then," Tifa said while Naruto nodded while Cloud only nodded his head as they left.
~Scrap Boulevard~
"So this is it huh?" Naruto asked ready to map the place as he navigated while Tifa nodded.
"Well let's go monster hunting," Naruto said with a grin before opening up the gate as Tifa and Cloud entered and began hunting.
"There's a cave let's check it out," Naruto said before they made their way inside the cave and saw a green glow and picked it up feeling the coldness of it.
"Tifa-chan catch," Naruto said unknowingly, putting chan at the end of her name making Cloud smirk while Tifa blushed but caught the orb and noticed the slight coldness to it.
"Ice Materia?" Tifa asked while Naruto nodded before they continued and saw their first target. Before Naruto took out his blade and switched to Eisenmeteor. Eisenmeteor is a large metal broadsword and its rain-guard is triangular, with intricate patterns embellished on it.
"LET'S DO THIS!" Naruto shouted as he, Tifa, and Cloud started laying waste to the monsters there.
~a few minutes later~
"Phew, that was a good workout," Tifa said while Naruto and Cloud nodded before Naruto changed his sword back to its final form again before resetting his Materia back into place making Cloud raise his brow.
"Hey Naruto, instead of changing your Materia wouldn't it make more sense to use what you have set already?" Cloud asked, causing Tifa to look at him then Naruto, and then the sword feeling the massive power coming from the 6-linked Materia in there making Naruto shake his head.
"If I did that then I would be one shooting these monsters,' Naruto said, making Tifa widen her eyes before she decided to ask.
"Just how powerful is your Materia Naruto?" Tifa asked, causing Naruto to turn to her and show her.
"Well, when I was in Shinra I had a chance to upgrade my Materia to their highest tiers. These are called Hell Materia which is a HUGE step up from the lower tier Materia. I have Hell Lightning, Hell Ice, and Hell Fire. Then there is the second tier which is Dark Lightning, Ice, and Fire. Then there is the lower tier which is the Ice I picked up and gave to you Tifa. Shinra controls the Hell and Dark tiers but the reason I don't use them is because I have to be careful or I would end up not only killing myself but you too," Naruto said, shocking Cloud now knowing why Naruto doesn't use the Hell tier whenever he wants and worrying Tifa.
"So that is why you used Hell Lightning on that scorpion," Cloud said while Naruto nodded.
"Yep, it comes in handy for the big guys. Though when I see Hojo I am going to blast him with Hell Lightning," Naruto said with a vindictive smirk making them laugh nervously thankful Naruto is their ally and NOT their enemy and also making Tifa rub her legs together which thankfully no one saw.
"Anyway let's get going before they respawn again," Naruto said, making them nod and make their way to the gate.
"By the way Naruto I found this near a gate with yellow tape inside a chest," Tifa said, missing his slight freezing when she said locked and yellow tape before she showed him the antidote.
"Keep it on you Tifa it cures poison. Besides I have 50 since I only had 10 left," Naruto said, making her nod and smile before they made their way back to Biggs and Wedge.
"Now that that's finished, why don't we go talk to Wymer? He should have some work for you," Tifa said while they nodded and followed her.
~with Wymer
"Well, I see you dealt with the beasts. If you like I could set you up with more jobs?" Wymer asked, making the two nod.
"Ready to go anytime," Naruto said, making Wymer laugh and Tifa giggled while Cloud smirked since his friend was always like this and was glad he no longer allowed revenge to consume him.
"Um excuse me?" a kid with white hair and what looked like a visor on his left eye called out while Naruto looked over at him.
"Can we help you kid?" Naruto asked while the kid nodded and explained that his name was Chadley and that he was a researcher but was looking to undermine Shinra before handing them an Assess Materia to scan enemies which they took as Cloud equipped it.
Naruto then opened up the digital map and expressed surprise at what he found.
"What did you find Naruto?" Tifa asked while Naruto looked at her.
"There seem to be 5 side icons on the map, somehow one saying Rat problem. 2 saying Nuisance In the Factory. 3 says Lost friends which possibly means missing persons or animals. 4 says On the Prowl. 5 says Just Flew In from the Graveyard. Hmm that last one sounds creepy," Naruto said while the others nodded.
"Well let's go down the list. Does it show the details?" Tifa asked before Naruto clicked on the Rat Problem quest.
"It says we have to talk to Steve," Naruto said, making them nod and head to Steve's Item Shop.
~Item shop~
"Hey Steve got an alert from my digital map that there is a Rat problem you need taken care of," Naruto said while Steve nodded.
"You heard right. The little bastards keep raiding the stores looking for food and they made a hell of a mess," Steven said while Naruto nodded.
"One rat extermination coming up," Naruto said while Tifa and Cloud nodded their heads. While Steve nodded thanking them, and told them they were on the outskirts making them nod
"Sure thing those rats will be a thing of the past when we get done with them," Naruto said, making him nod before he stopped them for a quick moment.
"Oh and one more thing a weakened rat will call its friends for backup," Steve said before they nodded again then left and headed for the outskirts.
~Metal Tunnel~
"The outskirts are just through that tunnel so we must be close," Naruto said before he, Tifa, and Cloud headed for the tunnel and ducked under the gate.
"Well there are Rats but not sure they are the rats Steve was talking about," Cloud said before they rushed in and started attacking them. Before Cloud assessed them and told them they were Wererats and that they were weak to Ice so Naruto switched his Hell Ice to a weakened Ice level while Tifa equipped the Ice Materia Cloud gave her and started freezing them.
"Well that was easy," Tifa said, making them nod until Naruto frowned.
"Ya but I wonder if these were the rats Steve meant," Naruto said before Tifa offered up some advice.
"Well, we could wait a bit longer to see if others come," Tifa offered, which they nodded and decided to wait to see if more would show up.
~10 minutes later~
"Hey, what's that?" Cloud asked before they saw a dust cloud and saw more rats but these were a bit bigger before Cloud assessed them and saw they were Doomrats.
"Alright, these must be the target. Tifa, Cloud, CHARGE!" Naruto shouted before they charged the army of rats and just like the ware rats took them down with Ice as well until they were all dead.
"Phew, now that was a workout," Naruto said, making them nod before Tifa looked at his leg.
"Naruto you're hurt," Tifa said before Naruto looked at his leg and noticed a bite mark.
"Well, what do you know? I finally got injured. Well I guess my long-time record as the longest person to ever be uninjured has finally been broken," Naruto said like it was nothing and just used a low-level cure spell on himself
"You mean you've never been injured before?" Tifa asked, making Naruto shake his head.
"Granted I have always used Silfarion's speed to avoid being injured," Naruto said before he was good as new.
"Well, shall we go now?" Naruto asked while his teammates nodded before they made their way back to Steve. While Tifa kept glancing at Naruto and Cloud smirked noticing the looks she was giving him.
~Steve's item shop~
"Mission accomplished Steve. Though we did have to wait since we encountered wererats and were not sure if that was the Rat problem you mentioned," Naruto said making him nod.
"Well you three make for a perfect team, a well-oiled machine,' Steve said while Tifa and Naruto smiled and Cloud nodded, handing him 5 Hi-potions.
"Well be seeing you," Naruto said before they walked out and Wymer stopped them.
"What can we do for you?" Naruto asked before they were told about a Shinra dog gone feral and needed to be put down.
"So Scrap Boulevard huh? Sounds like monsters like that place a little too much," Naruto said while Cloud and Tifa nodded before they headed to the place.
"Hold up a minute first we need to pay a visit to Chadley and hand in the Intel we got for him," Naruto said, making them nod and make their way to Chadley.
~with Chadley~
"Wow, I am surprised you're back so soon," Chadley said with a smile before he handed them their pay. Then Naruto asked to see the inventory and Chadley nodded before Naruto looked and selected a Wind and Auto-cure Materia and paid him 200 gil before they left to find this Hound.
"These two are for you guys," Naruto said handing Cloud the Wind Materia and Tifa the Auto-cure which she took with a frown wondering. Why would he just give away something he bought but decide not to dwell on it since it was a nice gesture nonetheless.
Then they made their way to where the Hound was before Naruto spoke up.
"Tifa be on guard, these dogs of Shinra are pretty fast. So we will be counting on your speed," Naruto said while Tifa nodded her head.
"Got it I won't let you two down," Tifa said with a firm nod. Making the two of them nod and bad their way to the scrapyard.
~Scrap Boulevard~
"Well we are here now to look for that hound," Cloud said before Naruto pushed Tifa out of the way as the very hound they were looking for tried to attack her.
"Ok that was uncalled for you mutt," Naruto said not happy with the sneak attack unaware that his hand was on Tifa's left breast or that Tifa's face was so red she couldn't say anything before he got up and offered Tifa a hand which she took and they got ready for combat and charged the dog with Naruto changing to Silfarion. While Cloud assessed it and found it was weak to Ice.
~5 minutes later~
"Well that was annoying," Naruto said with an annoyed look at the now-dead Wraith Hound while the other two nodded before they returned to Wymer.
~with Wymer~
"So you dealt with the hound huh? Well that's good here is a reward for your troubles," Wymer said, handing him an Elixir.
"Thanks, Wymer," Naruto said as he nodded before he turned to Cloud and Tifa.
"Ok, the next on the list is Nuisance in the Factory. Says we should talk to a Junk Dealer for the details," Naruto said, making them nod before they headed for the Junk Dealer whose name happened to be Narjin.
~with Narjin~
"Tifa? Don't tell me you're here to take care of those baddies in the Factory all by yourself?" Narjin asked while Tifa shook her head.
"No, I have two friends of mine to help me," Tifa said before Narjin looked at Cloud and frowned, then looked at Naruto and couldn't help but smile seeing his friendly grin.
"Well, they seem capable. Well ok then here is your target there is a Gorger and a Lesser Drake. Be careful though both beasts are really brutal if you let your guard down," Narjin said while they nodded before they walked into the Abandoned Talagger Factory.
~Talagger Factory~
"Ok like Narjin said don't let down your guard," Naruto said while Tifa and Cloud nodded before they walked in and spotted what they hoped was their first target. Before Cloud assessed it and found it to be the target's a three Gorger which was weak to Ice.
"Perfect," Naruto said, charging the enemy staggering them with Ice before they knew what hit them and killed them.
"Well that one was easy," Cloud said while Naruto nodded while Tifa smirked.
"Teamwork," Tifa said before they went further and found three fliers which Cloud assessed and found they were the Drakes and that they were weak to wind which was convenient for them since Naruto picked up a Wind Materia from Chadley.
"Watch out these things are tough," Cloud said but was interrupted when 1 Drake launched a Tornado at Naruto's blind spot which threw him against the wall before he dropped down to the floor groaning.
"NARUTO-KUN!" Tifa shouted before looking at the Drake that struck her friend with a pissed-off look making the Drake shiver like death was upon it before it flew off in fear before Tifa gave chase.
"GET THE FUCK BACK HERE YOU COWARD!" Tifa shouted before she jumped at the Drake and started beating on it and this was the scene Cloud and a now healed Naruto walked in on.
"Um, Cloud shouldn't we stop her?" Naruto asked, watching the scene in shock before Cloud shook his head slowly.
"I don't think we should. Unless you have a death wish," Cloud said before Tifa took the Drake by the tail and started spinning and tossing it while Naruto stepped to the side as the Drake crashed then let out a painful screech and died.
'I am not sure if I should pity that now-dead Drake or not,' Naruto thought before Tifa walked back to them and hugged Naruto like nothing happened. Although Naruto felt her large breasts pushed into his chest before she let go and they left.
~with Narjin~
"Excellent you defeated them," Narjin said while they nodded.
"We sure did. Although Tifa went insane when a Drake got the drop on me before we could attack and threw me into a wall," Naruto said before he hunched over when a blushing Tifa elbowed him in the gut while Narjin laughed.
"Well anyway here is your reward for defeating them," Narjin said, handing him 500 gil before handing 200 to Tifa and 200 to Cloud and keeping the last 100 making Tifa frown seeing as they weren't equal.
Then before they left the Factory they heard a commotion and decided to check it out before they saw two Shinra troopers roughing up a guy with red hair, an open gray shirt, and gray pants before being blindfolded. This was Johnny or as Naruto would come to know him as a public Nuisance he would have to deal with for Tifa's sake.
"Come on we have to help him," Tifa said a bit annoyed which Naruto picked up on.
"He Avalanche?" Naruto asked Tifa, making her shake her head.
"No, he doesn't know what we do. But he is a talker," Tifa said, making them nod before they followed them while Johnny complained the entire way.
"Boy for a non-Avalanche he sure complains a lot," Naruto said while Tifa nodded.
"I have an idea," Naruto said before Tifa could say anything before they looked at him with a look in his eyes that was a bit playful.
"Oh boys," Naruto called out, making the two troopers see him.
"What do you want?" a trooper in red armor asked before Naruto took out his Morph Materia and transformed into a woman.
A sexy and very naked woman stunning Cloud and causing Tifa's face to go atomic weather from anger or something else was unclear.
"Why don't you come and play with me," Naruto, or rather Naruko as he called this form said, turning around and wiggling her ass before turning her head winking. Then the troopers passed out from nose bleeds and Naruko turned back into Naruto who rolled on the ground laughing up a storm.
Then Cloud walked past him with a head shake and a chuckle while a still red-faced Tifa walked past him unable to look him in the eye.
"Now what?" Tifa asked while Naruto took out Ravelt.
"He's a talker," Naruto said walking to Johnny who panicked and told them he wouldn't say anything and that he would leave town before getting up and running away...With his hands still tied behind his back.
"He could have at least let me cut him free first," Naruto said amused by how fast Johnny ran away making Tifa and Cloud giggle and chuckle now knowing Naruto wasn't honestly going to kill him.
"Well let's go get this last side mission over with," Naruto said while the others nodded before they saw a woman arguing with two Shinra troopers about a Cerulean Drake but they were doing nothing about it.
"You are wasting your time. Even if these guards are doing their jobs they are nothing but mindless drones doing the bidding of their Masters to be scared to bite the hand that feeds them," Naruto said with a sneer making the woman turn to them.
"Finally someone competent. Hey Tifa, maybe you and your two friends can help. A Cerulean Drake flew into the Factory but you need a Security key to get in which should be in some boxes but I forgot which one so just break them all open. The woman said while the three nodded.
~Talagger Factory~
"Well here we are again," Naruto said while Tifa and Cloud nodded before going inside and taking out the Gorger and Lesser Drake while the Drake prepared to attack Naruto with a Tornado. However, one look from Tifa sent it flying away scared out of its mind making her smirk.
"That was the same one you clobbered wasn't it?" Naruto asked only to see Tifa's smirk before they took off again. Then found a dead end like the woman said and doubled back to the previous room and opened the Garage door.
"Hey look at this another Materia," Naruto said before picking it up and noticing a certain hotness to it.
"Yep it's a fire Materia alright," Naruto said tossing it to Tifa who took it and equipped it.
"There is a bench if you need to rest," Cloud said, seeing a bench while Tifa and Naruto nodded and decided to rest before continuing. Although when Naruto sat down Tifa decided to be a bit bold and sat down on his lap surprising the two men.
"Ya know something? I am not sure who is more bolder anymore Elena, Aerith, or you Tifa Naruto said, making her giggle and looking back at him smirking.
"Maybe there are a few things you don't know about me," Tifa said giggling more before she slid over to the seat next to him where they rested a few moments longer.
~a few moments later~
Soon after a few moments, the group gets up then proceeds to destroy boxes until Tifa finds the Key they need then they go back to the room and open it up before going in deeper and finding their target before Cloud uses assess and finds that it is weak to wind before they charge it with Cloud using it's weakness staggering it and unleashing all hell.
"I have an idea Tifa launch me," Naruto said when he saw it take off into the air again so Tifa cupped her hands and threw Naruto before he brought his sword down on it, killing it.
"Well that wasn't too bad," Naruto said with a smirk making them nod and head back to the woman and the two drones. As Naruto was quick to call them much to their annoyance, making the woman whose name was Gwen along with Cloud and Tifa laugh.
"So what is the last side mission?" Cloud asked before Naruto took out his digital map showing the areas they had been to.
"The last one says, Lost friends. According to the details this little girl Betty lost her three cats and needs help looking for them," Naruto said while the two nodded before looking for the little girl.
~with Betty~
"Um excuse me but I was hoping you could help me find my friends," Betty said before Naruto got on his knees and kindly asked her to tell them about the cats which she did with a smile.
"Ok, our best bet is to split up. Cover more ground that way, making them nod before they split up to look for the cats while Betty wished them luck.
~with Naruto~
'Hmm, Betty said they have a distinct meow,' Naruto thought before hearing a meow and followed it before finding a white cat.
"Hey there girl. Are you hungry?" Naruto asked, holding out his hand as the cat walked up to him. Then Naruto placed the food on the ground as the cat ate.
"That's a good girl. You know Betty is worried about you," Naruto said before the cat looked at him, meowed, and jumped into his arms making him smile as he returned to Betty.
~with Betty~
"Wow that didn't take you long at all," Betty said in amazement making Naruto chuckle and rubbing the back of his head since it was true. He always had a way with children and animals before they waited for Cloud and Tifa.
~5 minutes later~
Soon after 5 minutes, Naruto saw Cloud and Tifa come up to them...Though Cloud had a few scratches here and there.
"What the hell happened to you Cloud?" Naruto asked but Cloud refused to say before Betty cut in.
"Kitty said the man was scary and she attacked him," Betty said while Naruto smirked and Tifa tried not to laugh while Cloud just looked at them annoyed. Though mostly at Naruto who decided to pull a prank on his blond friend which turned out to be a bad idea.
"Oh Tifa-chan the scary man is staring at me please make him stop," Naruto said while hiding behind Tifa who was about to get in on the fun before they heard three hisses and looked at the cats they saved stalking towards Cloud.
"Um uh-oh you might want to run Cloud," Naruto said before Cloud was already gone with the cats on his ass.
"Will scary man be ok," Betty asked while Tifa and Naruto nodded.
Don't worry Cloud is faster than a bunch of cats. No offense," Naruto said before hearing Cloud's shouts of pain.
"NOT THE FACE NOT THE FACE!" Cloud shouted before Tifa and Naruto sweat dropped.
"I am suddenly having flashbacks of Tora," Naruto said not knowing if he should feel amused or pity for his friend.
~later~
"I think I hate cats now," Cloud said with his face healed. While Naruto chuckled and Tifa giggled.
"Oh cheer up Cloud, it was a few scratches and you're all healed now," Naruto said, patting Cloud on the back.
"Whatever, I am going to go lay down," Cloud said, opening his door and closing it while Naruto and Tifa looked at each other.
"Ok so maybe that was a bit much. Hey how was I supposed to know the cats would attack him," Naruto said before patting his shoulder.
"I am just as guilty as you. I was going to help you before that happened," Tifa said with a grin. Which Naruto returned before he made his way to the apartment before Marle stopped them and asked them to change their filters as well, making them nod.
"One thing, Naruto right?" Marle asked, making him nod. "Be a dear and look out for Tifa would you? She needs a friend. A real friend," Marle said, making him nod again.
"Sure thing Granny Marle," Naruto said before he left to complete his job. Missing Marle's shocked look but smiled anyway having a feeling he didn't mean anything behind it.
Then Naruto went into his room and changed his filter which was simple enough. Before he went to Tifa's room.
"So after you left the Village what happened?" Tifa asked but deep down she realized she should not have asked when she saw the sad look on his face.
~flashback~
"Damn it, how long was I out for?" Naruto asked himself waking up before walking outside and seeing the town deserted and burnt.
"TIFA? CLOUD? ZACK? ANYONE THERE!" Naruto shouted running through the town which soon became hopeless as there was no sign of life anyway.
"Sephiroth, how could you do such a terrible thing? What made you snap?" Naruto asked himself missing the only building that was left standing, which just so happened to be the Shinra mansion.
~flashback end~
"Had I checked the Shinra mansion I probably would have found Cloud and Zack earlier and he would still be alive and back with Aerith," Naruto said clenching his fist and cursing himself that day for not looking in that building.
"But you didn't know. Not even you could have predicted they would be there. Or that Cloud would have Mako Poisoning," Tifa said, placing her right hand on his shoulder in a comforting way.
"Ya well when I find Hojo I WILL mount his head on a spike," Naruto said darkly making Tifa nod knowing Naruto was entitled to his revenge.
"As long as you remember the people that love and care for you," Tifa said gently, making him nod with a smile.
"Hey I know let's go out," Tifa said before she blushed seeing Naruto's teasing grin. But before she could take it back Naruto teased her.
"Why Miss Lockhart are you asking an Ex-SOLDIER out on a date?" Naruto asked before she stuttered.
"N-No I just meant dress up," Tifa said before she backed up and spread out her arms.
"Which do you think would look good on me?" Tifa asked
"Hmm, maybe I am not sure, something exotic? Or perhaps sporty," Naruto said, making Tifa smile.
"Hmm, exotic or sporty huh? I'll do my best," Tifa said with a smile before they headed to the bar.
~Seventh Heaven~
"How about a drink?" Tifa asked while Naruto shrugged.
"I usually don't but it couldn't hurt," Naruto said with a smile before Tifa went behind the bar.
"So what will you have sir," Tifa said with a smile making Naruto grin seeing what Tifa was doing.
"Whatever, the bartender recommends," Naruto said, making Tifa nod before she started working then slid Naruto his drink.
"I call it the Cosmo Canyon," Tifa said with a proud smile before Naruto took a sip and loved the taste of it.
"Magnificent the taste of it. It's so divine," Naruto said, making Tifa giggle.
"Why thank you I never had a customer say that before," Tifa said before she saw Barret and the others.
"Come on Tifa double time," Barret said before looking at Naruto giving him an apologetic look before he and Tifa went to the pinball machine and the floor moved down. (I always liked that about the OG and how you could go down and wished they kept that feature in the remake)
Then Jessie walked in a few moments later seeing Naruto sitting there and tried to sneak up on him before he spoke.
"They're downstairs," Naruto said, making her smile but frown before he continued. "Tifa will be joining you by the looks of it," Naruto said before looking her way as she nodded.
"She was never onboard fully with the bombings," Jessie said before she finished. "Naruto-kun if it comes down to it," Jessie said but was interrupted by a smiling Naruto.
"Don't worry. I'll be more than happy to back up Avalanche," Naruto said, making her smile before going down.
~a few moments later~
As Naruto sat there drinking he heard the machine before he turned and saw Tifa with a frown.
"Heard you are having second thoughts that I did," Naruto said, seeing her frown.
"I know we have to think big. But I don't know I just feel trapped," Tifa said before she gasped when she felt her shoulders being rubbed so she relaxed and closed her eyes before sighing.
"If it makes you feel any better I told Jessie I would help you guys," Naruto said whispering into her ear making her eyes widen before she moaned when Naruto loosened a big knot in her shoulders.
"I can't ask you to do that Naruto, it's too much," Tifa frowned, feeling like she owed him too much already making him chuckle.
"You are my friend Tifa. I am happy to put my life on the line for my friends," Naruto which made her widen her eyes further, then looked at his smiling face.
"Thank you Naruto-kun," Tifa said smiling, this time being aware of the kun suffix she added, making him grin and hold out his fist which she smiled at and bumped with hers.
"No problem Tifa-chan," Naruto said, making her flush a bit at the chan he added to her name before they saw Barret and the others.
"Job is completed. Afraid we won't be needing you after this," Barret said like he honestly felt bad for saying it before Naruto shook his head.
"Nah if it is all the same I think I'll join you on this one. For some reason, this is giving me a bad feeling and I would feel better if the team was ok," Naruto said stunning Barret before smiling.
"You really do look out for your friends don't you?" Barret asked, making Naruto nod. Then he joined Avalanche making them smile seeing a new member and making Jessie and Tifa smile before Jessie saw Tifa stare at Naruto with a look.
'So she is starting to fall for him huh? I can see why after all there is just something about him that draws people to him and makes you want to trust him,' Jessie thought before they listened to what the next job would entail.
Little did they know it would lead to Naruto and Cloud's vision coming true.
Well, there you have it folks we are at the end of chapter 3.
I would like to think a lot of interesting things happened here.
A horrible prophecy that may or may not happen.
Elena is a spy to warn the people of the doom that will soon happen. Followed by a nice lemon between the 2.
Tifa and Naruto's growing relationship though both tried to deny it.
A night on the town though I suppose it could also be interpreted as a date.
Then finally Naruto agreed to come along on their next mission.
The Harem is as follows:
Aerith
Elena
Cissnei
Tifa
Yuffie
Jessie
Shiva
Gaia
