Summary: A single human couldn't be this special, right? At first, he looked like every other human, but it occurred to a few people that Naruto Uzumaki was everything but normal. He would be a pillar of hope for those who seek a new home and strength. With time, he would create something special, something never seen before. A place where everyone could live no matter who it was.

Naruto was on his way home. He had a bag of groceries in his right hand. Naruto had spiky blond hair, ocean-blue eyes, and six whisker marks on his cheeks. He wore an orange hoodie, black pants, and black shoes. He was in the middle of coming back from grocery shopping.

He lived in Kuoh, a town in Japan. Naruto decided to live in Kuoh since not many supernatural beings were paying attention to such a town. It had nothing too spectacular to brag about. It had all the essentials but nothing more than that. The things one could find here were in many other places, too.

He was currently on a sidewalk, waiting until a few cars passed him. His eyes twitched when he felt how demonic energy appeared in the city. His senses were pretty sharp, and he could feel the energies from others at a reasonable distance. It was enough to know exactly what happened in the town he chose to make his home.

'One devil… shall I look what he is up to?' thought Naruto. He wondered what a devil wanted from an unspectacular town like Kuoh. Maybe he was traveling and would soon continue and leave again, but that would only show itself once some time passed.

Naruto decided that he would bring his groceries to his house before he looked atwhat the new devil in Kuoh was up to. The last three months were pretty quiet. This was the last time a supernatural being passed through Kuoh and tried to do something to an innocent human.

Naruto stopped the supernatural entity and killed it in the process. It was a fallen angel back then with two wings, so it wassomething Naruto had no problems dealing with. Thanks to his intense training over the years, he became pretty strong, and thanks to his dad, he has been able to live in peace so far. He was in some conflicts over the years, but nothing too major.

He passed the street when the cars were gone and continued his way toward his house. The sun bathed the entire city in an orange light, making it seem like the city was more beautiful than it actually was.

Not that this was an issue. Naruto loved the time period of the day when the sun was about to set. The orange color the sun shone onto the world was always beautiful in his eyes. He stopped when he heard his name being called.

"Naruto!" said an older man.

"Oh, Kled!" said Naruto with a smile. He was known in the neighborhood for always helping them out with difficult tasks. Kled already lost most of his hair through his age, but he was still fit when it came to his body. He runs daily anddoes many things he can to keep his muscles in decent shape. Many others in his age group havealready lost most of their muscle volume because of age and not enough exercise. Kled was one of the few older people who didn't need Naruto's help with carrying heavier things since Kled could still lift them himself.

"How was your day, my boy? You seem to be on your way home from grocery shopping," said Kled.

"You are right with your assumption; I am indeed on my way back home from grocery shopping," said Naruto.

"Ok, I won't take up more of your time. Why don't you come over tomorrow? We are making BBQ," said Kled.

Naruto smiled and said, "I definitely don't refuse an offer like that. You know how much I love BBQs."

Kled grinned at the young man before him and said, "Of course! That is the reason I invited you."

Naruto chuckled at the older man. Naruto had a closer relationship with Kled than with the others in the neighborhood. He got invited pretty often to lunch, BBQ, or other events Kled's family held. Kled was already retired, but he once was a part of the army, so it was no coincidence that he was still so fit and had many friends and a strong family bond with his family. He had children and even grandchildren. Everyone loved Kled in his family. His son and grandson always told him that they wouldat least try to be half the man Kled was during his life. Kled worked his butt off to provide for his family and to protect them.

Overall, Kled was an amazing man who many looked up to thanks to his accomplishments and his way of life.

"When begins the BBQ?" asked Naruto.

"At 4. P.m. like usual," said Kled.

"Ok, then I will see you tomorrow," said Naruto.

Naruto waved at Kled when he continued to walk towards his house. 'It seems like the devil has some interest at the Kuoh Academy,' thought Naruto. He could feel the devilwalking toward the Kuoh Academy.

So far, the Kuoh Academy didn't inherit any supernatural being, which wasn't really surprising since there was nothing special in this town. Since he wanted to look directly at the devil, he walked faster toward his house. His house was on the outskirts of Kuoh with a forest behind it and nothing more. It was near the abandoned church on the hill.

The Uzumaki Residence was a two-story terraced house with a white-painted exterior, a balcony on the second floor, and a red roof. A stone wall surrounded his house and made it impossible to look at the garden that went around the house from the street. From his house door was a path toward the steel gate, which was the entrance through the stone wall into the garden. Naruto opened the steel gate and entered his garden before closing the steel gate again andwalking towards his house door.

It only took Naruto a minute to walk into his kitchen andplace the groceries in the places they needed to be before he walked out of his house again. He began to walk toward Kuoh Academy, wherehe attended.

It wasn't a big school. The school only was one building surrounded by forest. It had to be expected from a small town like Kuoh, where nothing much happened. It was even a rarity that a supernatural being like a devil appeared here.

Naruto was using some secret passages a normal human couldn't even dream to use. With his superhuman abilities, thanks to his training, he could use passages others couldn't. It wasn't like he could fly since he was only a human and not a devil, fallen angel, or other supernatural being with wings.

He could technically move through the air, but this was something he didn't want to use in public. A human running through theair would definitely gain attention from others. No matter how good, Naruto would try to hide his activities. Such a moment would be noticed.

After 2 minutes, he walked out of a side ally before the school grounds. To get to the school, someone had to follow a path through a forest for about 200 meters before he would see the school building.

The School building was three stories high, with the third story serving as a clock tower. It had been painted white and had a black roof with vines creeping up to the second story. Around the school building was a dense forest, with a path leading from the old school building to the main street.

Naruto didn't even need to cross the street and walk the path toward the school building since the devil was still on the main street, looking around. From what he could see, the devil was ayoung woman.

He wanted to go and talk with her, maybe get some information about her, but he stopped in his tracks when someone else was moving at high speed toward Naruto's location. 'This energy… why is someone like that here?' thought Naruto.

He stood agood 15 meters away from the devil, so he saw how the devil suddenly turned around and looked at Naruto with a glare. Naruto turned his attention back to the devil, confused. Why was the devil glaring at him?

"How long will you pretend not to watch me?" asked the devil.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make this impression," said Naruto, bowing lightly. "You are just a very attractive person, and I couldn't help myself but look at you for a moment."

The girl glared daggers at Naruto and turned toward him. Naruto's gaze was toward the side, where he could feel the energy source getting closer to his location. If he weren't careful, then he would get busted, and everyone would know that a human was living in Kuoh with the ability to fight the supernatural world. This would only get him unwanted attention.

"Hey! What are you looking at?" asked the devil. Naruto turned his attention back to the devil and said, "I'm sorry. I guess it would be best if I go now. I don't want to make a false impression on you. I hope you can forgive me formy mistake."

The girl crossed her arms under her chest. The devil was a beautiful young woman of average height with a beautiful face, white skin, and ruby eyes. She had long crimson hair tied into twin tails using yellow ribbons. She had a curvy body with giant breasts. To make it simple… the devil was a true beauty. But this wasn't really a rarity in the supernatural world. Many female supernatural beings were beautiful.

Since the devil only glared at him, he took this as his chance to walk away from the situation that would follow shortly. He turned around and began to walk away from the stunning beauty behind him.

He began to breathe in and out in a specific manner before he suddenly wasn't there anymore. The devil got wide eyes when she didn't see Naruto anymore. It was like his existence was deleted from this world. In asecond, he walked away from her, but in the next second, he wasn't there anymore. It wasn't a fast movement or anything related to that. Not even teleportation was like this. It was really as if someone deleted his existence altogether.

Naruto smiled and continued walking away from the devil. He didn't need to watch over his shoulder to imagine what face the devil made. He was using a special movement technique to slip into the subconscious from others. The brain didn't think that Naruto would be necessary information, and this way, it didn't take notice of Naruto altogether. It had to do with breathing and the right movement to accomplish this. He called this movement technique Nukiashi (Trackless Step).

This was an easy way to vanish and get away from others. He stopped his technique when he was around a corner and out of theeyesight of the devil. He wouldn't vanish, but he would look from afar how the meeting of the devil and the newcomer would go. He wanted to make sure the two wouldn't hurt any humans.

Since Naruto lived here, he hasalways protected the innocent humans in Kuoh. Naruto didn't have to wait long for the new person to appear. The person wasn't a devil like the beautiful young devil but rather a special human of sorts.

The special sort of human who protected normal humans from the supernatural world. Those special humans were a warrior clan, so to speak. All of them wore some kind of weapon, mostly swords, but also some kind ofspecial type of weapon like a spear or even a tool to cast magic.

The speech was of the hero clan, a group of humans who got their powers from a group of special gods thousands of years ago. No one really knew when heroes got their powers from that group of gods. Still, they were granted this gift so humanity could defend themselves against devils and other supernatural beings.

The hero appeared not too far from the devil. 'Let's see how this meeting goes,' thought Naruto. He would make sure nothing too major would happen. He didn't want a disaster to occur in his hometown. It took him a long time to find this specific town since many were similar, but only Kuoh had everything he wanted.
