Review Response:
Exia Zero: I LIKE YOU, PUT HIM ON A SHIRT! I am not a Digimon fan, but I did watch the abridgimon movie, and found it hilarious. SENZU BEAN!
MEATBICYCLE: That's the idea. Nothing embarrassing for the picture, just them with a child Naruto.
Brooklyn: Ah, yeah, there might be some who are stab happy.
Archimedes: Stolas made a noble sacrifice.
Fenris Silverblood: Ah, I know, it is very heartwarming and sad. Just shows how much she cares and knows from her spending the most amount of time with Naruto, period.
Bednarczykmiki: What do you expect?
StrongGuy159: I will.
Jebest4781: That's the idea.
Gamelover41592: I have come up with an interesting reason to why Vortex and Bee split, and I will keep it close until the reveal, but I bet everyone will like it.
Dktv9: Glad I was able to get emotions, thank you. *Offers a tissue box*
MichaelTheFox: I feel the ending of this chapter will be tantalizing to the point of foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog… rabid fox.
NaruLemon Stories: Stolas is Pansexual. Technically yes, Stolas and Stella's marriage is arranged, canon states it was to 'Make an Emergency Heir'. So… I guess there is some in-fighting between the Goetia families, since Stella and her brother are from a different family.
Nathair1: Kurama and Crimson are basically mob bosses, so of course they will wanna kill each other. Stolas in the beginning is trying to make a Re-Aging Potion. Very true on Naruto staring. LOL, I know, playing frisbee. Yes, Stolas does, but he is occupied with fucking Blitz. Loona's statement is mirroring Naruto and Loona's argument in chapter 8 I believe, where Naruto says no one wants him, but Loona says there is someone who does, SO, in this instance, she specifically says SHE wants him. So, yes, it is poetic in a sense.
Hellhammer: That's funny head canon.
ShadowBloodedge9396: I feel like I could have gone another chapter of Naruto being 12, showing more of Stolas's failures to brew the Re-Aging potion, but some readers didn't like this arc, so I decided to cut it short. It worked out pretty well.
Guest: More Fluffy in the future, I promise.
Nicholas: Fuck yeah, Loona is! I do believe I have an answer to this question. And so does Vivzie. Rewatch episode 5.
Blaggut: Thank you for the answer, I let him know.
Animecollecter: That sounds fun. She will. LOL, I haven't forgotten about that either. Thank you.
Ice: Fuck… Nice.
DaftMerc39: Sadly. He would definitely want to get bird pussy out of his mouth with a healthy serving of Blitz. Hm, that's an idea. Naruto's children are gonna be menaces. Naruto will. I will draw Naruto sleeping between Loona and Verosika, I promise. LOL, true, Stolas would probably adapt to the game much easier. I will draw Naruto and his children as they appear, I promise. I'm a little confused on the last part.
Reggad the Knife: Only if she checks the file. It doesn't notify her, so it is up to Kurama to check it for any update.
Draftsack: Dude, that is awesome, I'll do it!
Vinnie: I don't know, because we don't know if Cash is even alive currently.
Shuu: I agree. What did Blitz specifically do to Barbie and Fizz? We know he maxed out Verosika's credit card on horse riding lessons.
Kenji: This is why I stay off of social media, but I didn't know that. It is messed up.
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HELLUVA BOSS!
"Hey" = Speaking
'Hey' = Thinking
'Hey' = Memory
"Hey" = To be Determined
Chapter 50: Where it Started
"I will always want you," Loona promised, lifting the potion up, uncorking it with her thumb, before holding up to Naruto's face. "Now and forever."
Naruto swallowed the lump in his throat, and leaned forward, the glass touching his lips.
Loona slowly tilted it up.
The liquid hit Naruto's tongue, and he swallowed one small gulp before Loona removed it from his mouth.
Everyone who wasn't Naruto leaned forward in anticipation for the potion to take effect.
"…"
"…"
"…"
Naruto blinked.
"I guess I'm still in a coma…" Naruto said before his arm… extended.
To the point his wrist touched the ground.
"Well…" Naruto said as he held up his long arms, looking at his hands, his voice starting to deepen. "This isn't…"
His head hit the ceiling, his legs extending far beyond what they should be.
Naruto collapsed, everyone stepping back as he did, holding his aching head.
His face was losing the childish innocent look, gaining its more mature features as Naruto's body got closer to its appropriate age.
Naruto's torso expanded, filling out proportionately what a seventeen-year-old male of his caliber would have been, tearing the borrowed clothing he was wearing.
Leaving Naruto butt naked.
His arms and legs slinkied into their correct length
Loona watched as his limbs corrected themselves again.
'Okay, now he is at the age when we met.' Loona thought as she recognized the timeline of events.
And guess correctly Loona did as a Lycan-Turned transformation began as steam emitted from Naruto's body like sweat.
X10 Speed.
His tail returned.
His fur started to grow.
His skull contorted into that of a canine's as his ears elongated.
His legs cracked and became digitigrade.
His body once again began to grow bigger, once again becoming eight feet eight inches tall.
Yatta, Yatta, we all know the drill.
Loona knelt down and touched his shoulder, using her other hand to make him look at her, his blue eyes becoming white with the blue bleeding into his sclera.
"Naruto…" Loona said as she gently shook him, watching his eyes move in a hazy fashion before they landed on her face.
They regained focus and clarity.
A smile crept onto his face.
"Hey, can I get my clothes please?" Naruto asked as his tail wrapped around his waist, a blush on his cheeks.
Loona blinked, before sighing with a facepalm, a relieved smile on her lips.
"Sure."
Twenty Minutes Later…
"Thank you all for looking after me." Naruto thanked as he was now wearing his own clothing, large welt on his head. "I am sorry for the inconvenience."
He looked toward Millie who was sitting right beside him, taking her hand and squeezing it.
"Especially you, mom. I know you took this more seriously than anyone else." He acknowledged.
Millie rolled her eyes and hugged her son.
"Think nothing of it, hon." She stated, squeezing him. "Though if this happens again…"
Everyone shuddered at the malice Millie emitted that moment.
Hell Hath No Fury Like a Millie Scorned.
"You still have all the memories you gained while under the affects of the Youth Water?" Octavia asked, taking charge of this account to let her father relax and get some experience.
"Yes, I do. I remember everything with clarity." Naruto said, his hands moving to form a circle before his hands like he was looking through a telescope. "Everything… beating Blitz in a children's card game."
"FUCK YOU!" Blitz screamed, pointing an accusing finger at the hellhound. "YOU WERE CHEATING, I KNOW IT!"
"Sure," Naruto sarcastically replied with a cocky grin and shrug. "I cheated."
Blitz growled as he stood up, biting his lip.
"IMP." He stated as he turned to his workers. "We are finished here. Now let's go home, we got work tomorrow."
"Oh, leaving so soon?" Verosika asked her ex with immense sass.
He glared at her before rolling his eyes.
"Some of us don't earn a living by choking on clits, so we are going." He replied with equal amounts of sass.
"Well, I was ready for you to leave, Blitzo." Verosika replied venomously.
"We will leave soon, after we get our stuff packed." Moxxie told Naruto, since they had brough enough stuff for the week.
Naruto nodded and drank some water, looking in the room at the people who risked their lives to keep him safe.
He felt so appreciative toward them.
A warmth spread around and within him.
He had felt this feeling before.
Only a hand times as a human, but it was one he never wanted to get tired of.
"Hey, Naruto…" Jayjay said as she approached him, nervously holding her arm. "Uhm, now that this is over, can I ask a favor?"
"Sure, Jayjay, what is it?" Naruto replied, expecting Jayjay to ask him to take a few works shifts to cover her absence.
"Can you come with me and Vortex to visit my parents on our next day off?" Jayjay asked in a rushed, embarrassed tone.
"Huh?"
Evening, Goetia Castle…
Octavia had to cover her ears with thick sound proof headphones to deafen the squawking and screeching she could hear.
It was coming from her parent's room.
A de-aged Stolas and Stella were… procreating.
Making the sixteen-year-old Goetia shudder.
'Oh, fuck this.' Octavia thought as she got out of bed, grabbing a jacket, her phone, and earbuds.
Turning them up high enough to drown out as much sound as possible, Octavia left her room and went to the library on the opposite side of their home.
'At least its quieter in here.' Octavia thought as she turned down her music.
Sitting down, irritated and tired, Octavia grabbed a random book, starting to read.
All the while her parents were getting freaky, doing the nasty in the pasty.
Meanwhile, Lust Ring, Fox's Den…
The stage was covered in a thick fog created by Fog Machines.
The crowd witnessed lightning strike a table, that had electrical equipment attached to it, atop its surface was a corpse covered in a white blanket.
A shrill screech emitted from the corpse, its arm and legs moving slightly before lifting up.
The figure sat up, the spot lights being moved to point the figure out, the blanket falling…
Revealing Kurama.
Her usual kimono was gone, in its place was a 'torn' outfit
The shirt and shorts were red, with 'wear and tear' on them, exposing her own scarred flesh through the gaps and her exposed limbs.
Around her neck, biceps, and navel were 'suture' markings, as if she had been stitched together, with blood at the 'seems'.
She wore black eyeliner, black lipstick, and had her hair up in twin braids, looking like goat horns on her head.
*Phantom of the Paradise OST: Life at Last*
"~Life at Last…~" Kurama started singing as she swung her arm in and arc, addressing the audience. "~Salutations from the other Side…~"
Kurama removed herself from the table, her tails following behind her as she sang.
"~…I can see that you're the devil's pride
Do you realize that all of you donated
Something horrible you hated, that was part of you?
I'm your nightmares comin' true, I am your crime~"
Kurama walked along the stage, grabbing a stripper pole, her leg wrapping around it before she grinded on it.
"~Life at last!
Sit and listen while the fun begins
Hearts are broken and the bad guys win~" Kurama spun on the pole before releasing mid spin, landing on one foot before leaping through the air. "~Sit and listen all the cutting up is easy
And this isn't for the queasy or the weak of heart
You had better start for home while there's still time~"
Everyone in the crowd cheered, wooed, and clapped as Kurama danced through the air before she landed back on the stage, taking a power stance.
"~I'm the evil that you created
Gettin' horny and damn frustrated~" She sang, leaning back, pushing her breasts outward, shifting to show off her ass through the thin clothe shorts. "~Bored stiff and I want me a woman now~"
Kurama tapped her feet against the floor, leaping from the stage to engage the audience.
She smiled as she wove through the crowd as the song's ballad played.
Her blood was pumping.
She always enjoyed being the center of attention, and she always pleased the crowd for their devotion.
"~I'm the evil that you created~" Kurama sang, grabbing the mic tightly in her hand. "~Gettin' horny and damn frustrated
Each of you must stop and try me
All of you might satisfy me~"
Kurama moaned/screamed into the mic, dropping to her knees, one hand up and grasping the air, as if she had been stabbed.
She made another, which was softer, and slowly eased out as she 'collapsed' onto the stage.
The crowd's applause was deafening as she bounced back up and bowed.
"And that is our show for the night." Kurama announced as she smiled into the mic.
She dropped the mic, bowing several more times as she thanked the crowd, blowing kisses as the applause died down into murmurs and chats that blended from the sober and drunk customers of the strip club portion of her brothel, making Kurama as happy as can be.
She exited stage left, and went to her office, not bothering to change out of the costume she was wearing.
She entered her office/bedroom, expecting it to be empty so she could relax, but deadpanned when she saw Crimson sitting before her desk with two lackies beside him.
"Crimson…"
"Madam." Crimson replied respectfully to the Madam.
Kurama's brows furled as she approached her desk, sitting down, grabbing her pipe.
"What, may I ask, is it that you are here, in my office?" Kurama asked in an unhappy tone as she grabbed tobacco.
Crimson produced a stack of papers from his jacket.
"This is the list of men at my disposal, including weapons and ammunition logs." Crimson replied, placing them on Kurama's desk. "Just as you requested."
"You could have given them to Karen at the front desk." Kurama pointed out.
Crimson rapped his fingers against his knuckles.
"I am also here to see if there are any jobs for me and my boys." Crimson replied, tapping his finger on the desk as Kurama took the paperwork, glimpsing it before putting it aside.
Kurama snapped her fingers, a flame appearing on her thumb, using it to light her pipe.
Snapping them again dowsed the flame as she exhaled the smoke.
"You can smoke if you want." She informed the imp, having seen him smoke before.
Crimson nodded, taking out a prepped cigar.
One of his men lit it with a lighter.
"Well, jobs." Kurama hummed, leaning into her hand, which was propped up by her elbow, showing a lack of care. "Hm…"
Crimson's eyebrows furled this time.
'How did such a beast become a Marquis with this attitude?' he thought as Kurama currently was not the picture of a professional, but as a lazy individual.
"How many men do you have at the current time?" Kurama asked as she returned to skimming the paperwork.
"Roughly two hundred and counting."
"Not enough." Kurama mumbled, tapping her pipe on her desk. "Don't worry, we shall start recruiting soon enough…"
"What do you, a Marquis, need man power and weapons for?" Crimson bluntly asked, not seeing a point in beating around the bush.
Kurama didn't respond, just smoking as she looked through the weapon log.
"In due time, Crimson." Kurama said as her ears perked up, causing her to lift her head.
The door to Kurama's office opened, Stark entering.
"Hey, boss, we are running low on cocaine and other precious…" Stark said, his face caked in white powder, before he stopped. "Oh, you are in a meeting…"
Kurama snapped her fingers as she stood up, smiling as she pointed at Stark.
"There you go." She stated in a triumphant tone. "Crimson, you and your men shall secure more drugs for my employees."
Crimson had to fight himself to NOT snarl.
He was NOT a stooge who did any grunt work.
He was a mafioso… style gangster, so his men did this.
BUT he was working under a Marquis.
Should he follow his Pride… and Die.
Or…
Should he play along… and Live.
"Understood, Madam." Crimson said as he stood up. "But I want protection… that little girl with the swords will do."
"Tamamo?" Kurama asked in surprise. "Sure, let me call her."
Kurama turned to Stark.
"Stark, go get Tamamo, and have her bring her weapons."
Stark smiled like he was told he was getting millions.
"OKEY-DOKEY!" he declared before jumping through a window… leading the brothels front door.
"This guy… is an idiot." Crimson stated bluntly.
"Ugh, tell me about it." Kurama sighed in agreement. "If it wasn't for his skills, I probably would have killed him myself, but I did hire him for those skills, so, can't do much except keep him in line if necessary."
Crimson nodded.
He understood that completely.
Sometimes placating a goon's addictions/stupidity was tolerable IF they were useful.
"Anyway, here." Kurama said as she reached into her desk and pulled out a business card. "Take this, it will help you find the seller. Remember, they aren't to be trusted. Knife them before they knife you."
Crimson accepted the card, dismissing himself.
'It's as you said, Madam Kurama…' Crimson thought as he walked out, putting the card in his jacket pocket. 'Knife them before they Knife you.'
His hand grazed two items.
A Holy Gun.
A Blessed Dagger.
Weapons perfect for killing Demon Royalty.
Next Day, Paw Print Paradise…
After a hefty apology and explanation, Naruto was on his break at work, Flare having allowed him back.
'Ugh, I am so tired of having my work interrupted.' Naruto thought as he leaned in his chair, cracking his back.
His phone went off, signaling he got a text message.
Last night, I found a book on fencing. I know you are into swords, so maybe we could fence… or something. It has tips on magic swordsmanship as well. - OG
'Hm, never took Octavia for one who likes swords.' Naruto thought, interested in the idea of becoming a better swordsman (Even including magic into it) as he texted back.
Sounds like a good idea, but I am going to be gone on my next day off helping a friend. Maybe on the day after? – NU
XD! - OG
Breaks over, text after work. – NU
Naruto exited the breakroom, phone in pocket as he thought back to the request Jayjay asked him.
Flashback…
"I want to visit my family… my human family." Jayjay said, her eyes silently pleading. "I haven't seen them in many years… they probably moved on, either believing me to be dead or having run away, but I…"
She nervously gripped her elbow.
"Okay."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I am willing to help." Naruto replied, holding his hand up with his index finger extended. "Though I do ask we wait until my next day off, because…"
"Flare." Both Naruto and Jayjay said in unison.
"Thank you." Jayjay said, tears in her eyes as she gave Naruto a hug.
End Flashback…
Naruto sighed, rubbing his face.
'Why do I always say yes?' He questioned.
The answer is simple.
He is a nice person.
Two Hours Later, Dry Fuck Studios…
After their most recent job, Millie and Moxxie returned to the studio, showered and changed clothing, and were currently packing their belongings along with Naruto's with Verosika's help.
"You know," Verosika said as she sat on the bed. "You guys could live here with me and the others. It would probably be safer than living in the house."
Moxxie and Millie looked at each other.
"I mean, we have a portal to the human world, which we use to escape the Purge." Verosika continued.
She didn't want to sound desperate, but she had enjoyed the different air the imps, Naruto, and Loona had brought to the studio.
…
…
…
Okay, she will be nice and include Blitz in that list, but only because he was Loona's dad via adoption.
"It is a tempting offer, Verosika." Moxxie said with a polite smile. "But…" He looked at Millie, waiting for any difference in opinion. "We will decline."
Verosika smiled and nodded.
"Well, if you ever change your mind, the offer still stands." She replied.
"Ah, don't be all pouty." Millie said as she jumped onto the bed, putting an arm around the succubus. "We are still gonna visit and vise versa, so turn that frown upside down."
Verosika smiled, but could not help but feel sad.
"You're right, Millie, thank you." Verosika replied as she continued to help them. "I am gonna miss seeing Naruto all tiny and small."
"Me too." Millie said as she became melancholic.
"But was it worth it?" Moxxie asked, not trying to be a dick, but offering a different angle of opinion. "I mean, the stress you underwent when he reverted to that child form, I don't think it was."
Millie… couldn't really argue with her husband.
She had gone off of the deep end…
BUT WHO COULD BLAME HER!
Her baby boy had become vulnerable.
The trio finished packing up and loaded one of Verosika's cars.
Verosika got behind the wheel, and scared the living daylights out of Moxxie as she sped through the roads like a Human high on Speed while Millie cheered, enjoying the thrill.
Arriving at Paw Print Paradise, Naruto jumped in the car, having gotten off work.
"I can't wait to get home." Naruto said as he leaned into the passenger seat. "I wanna play God of War."
"2005 or 2018?" Verosika asked with a smug grin, elbowing him gently, taking a sharp turn.
Naruto snickered.
"Yes."
The two chuckled, making Moxxie and Millie smile.
After several more minutes of hectic, and dangerous, driving, the group of four arrived at the house.
They got out, with Verosika popping the trunk open.
The moment it finished opening, they heard an irritated groan.
"FINALLY!" a familiar voice growled. "I've been waiting for you for days."
Millie's eyes narrowed as she turned toward the house, looking on the roof to see…
Melani.
"You." She said, scowling.
"What about me?" Melani asked as she flipped the imp off before turning her attention to Naruto. "You, pretty hound, are coming with me. My boss wants you, and ordered me to bring you to her."
Millie, without breaking eye contact, grabbed her axe from the trunk.
"Naruto, Mox." Millie grumbled, taking steps toward the house. "This one is mine…"
Chapter 50, DONE!
... wow, fifty chapters in 16 months.
Rematch: Millie VS Melani. Come back next time for the grudge match. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Yeah, I noticed a lot of people didn't like the child Naruto stuff, so those who didn't like it can breathe easy now that it is over.

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, and if you did, please leave a review, even if you disliked it as it helps me become a better author.
