Chapter Start

-Unknown Location-

Throughout the barren landscape, there were four particular figures that stood out. The first was a spiky blond haired man with three whisker marks on each cheek. He had a black headband with a metal plate at the front, etched into it was a metal carving of a symbol resembling a leaf. He also wore a golden open high-collared golden jacket and black pants. He was also covered in a veil of golden flames.

To the right of him was a black haired man, his hair resembling that of a duck's butt. He also had red eyes, his right being a red eye with three tomoe in it and his left being fully red with four rings coming from the pupil and six tomoe, three on each of the middle rings. He wore a grey shirt with a high collar and a strange red fan emblazoned on his back, dark gray pants, and a light purple rope belt.

Above these two was a pink haired woman who had a blue diamond mark on her forehead. She wore a black long-sleeved shirt, the right sleeve having been destroyed, and black pants.

And finally, there was a pale red haired woman with pupilless eyes that had a light glow to them. She was the source of all this conflict. She wore a high-collared kimono with tomoe running along the front and around the sleeves. She had a pale complexion, a red eye with four rings and nine tomoe in the center of her forehead, and two horns atop her head.

In this order, these were Naruto Uzumaki, Hero of the Leaf, the Orange Hokage, and the Child of Prophecy. Sasuke Uchiha, the last living Uchiha, and the Uchiha Avenger. Sakura Haruno, apprentice to the legendary Slug Sannin, Tsunade Senju. And lastly, Kaguya Ootsutsuki, Mother of All Chakra, the Rabbit Goddess, and the Rabbit Demon.

Currently, Kaguya was in the middle of being punched by the other three. Sakura was punching Kaguya from above while Naruto and Sasuke punched Kaguya on either side with an open palm.

"Rikudou: Chibaku Tensei (Six Paths: Heavenly Body Bursting From The Earth)!" Naruto and Sasuke yelled.

'Yet again... I, the origin of all chakra, am defeated by chakras that are created from but a part of me...' Kaguya thought before a frown and a look of determination crossed her face. 'No! Not again! Not this time!' she thought. Summoning a new portal.

"She's trying to escape!" Sakura exclaimed as Kaguya started going through the portal.

"Not if I can help it!" Naruto yelled, rushing at the escaping form of Kaguya. He tackled the goddess through the portal after making contact.

"Naruto!" Sasuke and Sakura exclaimed, but it was too late as the portal closed. As a look of worry crossed their faces, little did they know that this would be the last time they would ever hear of the Orange Hokage and the Rabbit Demon.

-With Naruto and Kaguya-

As the portal closed behind the duo, Naruto lost his grip on Kaguya as he floated around in the space between dimensions.

'Dammit! The sealing is still taking effect!' Kaguya thought, a look of panic coming across her face. Suddenly, it came to her! 'Asura's Descendant! Of course!'

A swift chop to the neck was all it took for Kaguya to knock Naruto out cold. She then used her infinite chakra to begin making Asura's Descendant into the perfect host body, starting with destroying his soul.

"Naruto!" the Bijuu cried out as the small fraction of their souls they left inside Naruto were destroyed. Following the removal of the Bijuu, Kaguya then started the process of destroying Naruto's memories. Starting with his most recent memories, Kaguya erased all recollection of any events.

This continued for five minutes, nearly all of Naruto's memories being destroyed by Kaguya when suddenly, said Rabbit Demon began collapsing in on herself.

"What!?" Kaguya exclaimed in confusion before it hit her. "Nooooooooooo!" she yelled as her body collapsed in on itself, sealing her away in the space in between dimensions, thus ensuring her demise. Not even Black Zetsu was able to make it out in time to escape his certain doom. After hundreds upon thousands of years, the Rabbit Demon was finally vanquished.

Meanwhile, Naruto was left unconscious floating in the nothingness that made up the space he was in. For what felt like hours upon hours, the unconscious form of Naruto floated through nothing. Suddenly, a bright white light began enveloping him before chipping away until there was nothing left.

-Outskirts of Oma-

Walking down a long rural path was a certain couple. The first was a dark blue skinned man. He had white hair that went halfway down his neck and a long white beard. He wore a tan short-sleeved shirt with matching pants, and a dull yet serious expression was on his face. Standing next to him, arms interlocked, was a woman. She was about a few inches shorter than he was, and had a cat-like appearance, brown hair, and brown eyes.

These two were Kabrok and Miranda, loving couple of eleven years. Their jolly stroll was interrupted by the sound of wind and lightning.

"Kabrok!" Miranda yelled, despite her husband being right next to her.

"I'm right next to you." Kabrok said.

"Do you hear that?" Miranda questioned.

"You mean that eerie wind and lightning sound despite there not being a single cloud in the sky?" Kabrok asked rhetorically.

"Yeah, where is it coming from...?" Miranda asked. Suddenly, her question was answered when they saw a distortion near the side of the pathway. Lightning and wind swirled around in a miniature maelstrom, the epicenter being about five feet in diameter. As the duo got closer and closer to the source, wind whipped around at their forms as the wind and lightning began swirling around more violently, reaching hurricane speed levels.

A bright speck of white light appeared. Followed by a second, then a third, until more and more came, forming a white silhouette of a small body. The light began disappearing, in its place was a small child.

The child was around 4'6" with a pale complexion. He had spiky pale red hair and two small budding horns protruding from his forehead, and he wore a small white haori with a high collar. The haori had dark red trimmings around the edges and tomoe running along the collar. After the last of the white light disappeared, the small child collapsed on the ground with a thud, seemingly unconscious, blood staining his right arm.

Kabrok and his wife rushed over to the boy, said Osamoda putting his fingers to the side of the boys neck.
"He's got a pulse, but it's feint." Kabrok said, the dull expression on his face being replaced with a look of seriousness.

"I think we have some bandages back at the shop." Miranda stated. Kabrok nodded his head and rushed back to retrieve bandages. "What could this boy have gone through to be in a state like this?" she asked to no one in particular as she cradled the boy's head in her lap, running her fingers through the pale red hair.

Suddenly, after a few minutes, the boy's eyes began to open, revealing bright cerulean blue eyes. He blinked a few times before he tried to sit up, only to wince in pain and fall back down.

"Wh... Where..." the boy began to speak, his voice no more than a whisper.

"Don't strain yourself, you're severely injured." Miranda said, putting her hand on the boy's chest to stop him from getting up and further injuring himself.

"I'm back with the bandages!" Kabrok exclaimed, handing said medical items to Miranda.

"Good, he's woken up." Miranda stated. She started wrapping bandages around the bleeding areas of the boy's body. "What's your name?"

"N... Naruto..." the boy stated.

"Naruto? What's your last name?" Miranda asked. Naruto looked down, his face riddled with sadness. "Do you... have a last name?"

"I... I can't remember..." Naruto said.

"Is there anything you can remember besides your name?" Kabrok asked. Naruto shook his head 'no'.

"Oh you poor boy!" Miranda exclaimed, pulling Naruto into a hug. "Can we keep him?" she asked, giving her husband the dreaded secret weapon that was hardwired into every female, the puppy eye look.

"Well..." Kabrok started, but then saw a fiery look in his wife's eyes, one that screamed 'We are doing this whether you like it or not. And if you don't I'll castrate you with a rusty spoon.' "... Alright."

"Yay!" Miranda exclaimed. "Hey Naruto, how would you like to be a part of our family?" The moment she asked that question did a bright smile appear on Naruto's face. He quickly nodded his head 'yes' and returned the hug. Kabrok smiled at the scene before being motioned by his wife to join in the hug, a sigh escaped his lips yet a smile was on his face as he did so.

-Two Years Later-

"Dad! Dad! Look!" a young eight year old Naruto exclaimed. Not much had changed about him over the past two years. His hair had grown out a bit, his complexion was a little less pale, and he had grown to around 5'3". He wore the same robes he did two years ago, the family having shortly discovered that the robes grew with him. His horn-like appendages had grown slightly, once being the length of half an inch, now being 1.5 inches in length.

"What is it, Naruto?" Kabrok asked, walking up to his adopted son.

"Look at what I can do!" Naruto said, waving his right hand up. The simple motion, added with the strange and foreign energy; well, foreign to Miranda and Kabrok; caused a small pure black ball that was about a foot in diameter to materialize into existence. Kabrok's eyes widened as he saw Naruto place his hand on the black ball, said red haired boy's face straining slightly as he did so. Seconds later, the black ball started changing shape, eventually transforming into a rod of the same color that was about two feet in length.

"How did you do that?" Kabrok questioned.

"I don't know. I feel as if I've seen this thing before, but I just can't remember..." Naruto said, a sad look crossing his face.

"Hey, don't worry about it, Naruto. I'm sure that you'll find your answers one day." Kabrok said, placing his hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"Thanks, Dad!" Naruto exclaimed.

"So what else can you do with these black balls and rods?" Kabrok asked.
"I don't know, I've only tried changing them into black rods or when I think about them, they appear." Naruto explained.
"Hmm, well, how about you try thinking about changing the shape of one into, say, a flat circle." Kabrok said. Naruto formed another black ball, placed his hand on it, and started trying what his father told him to. His face scrunched up as he tried mentally commanding the ball to become a flat platform. After a few minutes, the ball started to flatten out, becoming an inch in thickness and five feet in diameter. When it finally happened, Naruto's face had a large smile of success on his face.

"I did it!" Naruto exclaimed, jumping up and down in excitement as he did so.

"That's great!" Kabrok said. 'Hmm, soon enough, he'll be ready to go out and have his own adventure...'

-Seven Years Later-

"Naruto!" Miranda yelled.
"What is it Mom?!" Naruto half asked and half yelled from another room.

"Where did your father go?!" Miranda asked.

"You sent him out to get the new supply of Sadida bags!" Naruto replied.

"Well, I need someone to get this package out to Emelka pronto!" Miranda said.

"I can handle it!" Naruto said, stepping in to the same room as his mom. Over the years, he had certainly grown into a fine young man. His pale red hair had now grown out to the middle of his back, somehow retaining its spiky appearance. His haori was a perfect fit for him, the collar being opened up slightly to reveal the upper portion of his bare chest. His face was nearly devoid of any baby fat, his horns now three inches long, and he wore no shoes. Surrounding him was six black orbs, or Gudōdamas (Truth-Seeking Balls) as he called them. He stood six feet tall, quite tall for his age. All-in-all, his attire screamed royalty, but his attitude spoke the exact opposite.

"Are you sure you can handle it?" Miranda asked.

"Mom, I got this, don't worry!" Naruto exclaimed, grabbing the package and running out the room.

"Three... two... one..." Miranda counted down, not a second later Naruto ran back into the room.
"Erm, who's the package for?" Naruto asked, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"It's a regular order for some new plates for the restaurant out in Emelka. It's to Alibert." Miranda stated.
"Right. Got it." Naruto said, exiting the room once more.

-Emelka, Amakna-

It was early in the morning, all was calm as the small patches of grass gently swayed in the breeze. It was for certain that all was peaceful-

"Boom!" was the resonating sound that came from the nearby building.

"Gah! Not again!" a voice exclaimed. "Yugo! Yugo?!"

A young boy around the age of twelve groaned before getting out of bed, a small yellow circular bird falling out as the boy got up. The young boy had blond hair under a strange light blue hat with a tail and ears. He wore a yellow sleeveless shirt and light blue shorts. This boy was Yugo.

"Coming." Yugo said, heading down the stairs of the building, the bottom floor being encased in a cloud of black smoke. "*Cough* What is it? *Cough* Dad?" Yugo shortly made his way to the kitchen, his small yellow bird companion, Az, following shortly after. Inside the kitchen, a large man with a large mustache wearing a chef's hat. This man was Yugo's adopted father, Alibert. "Dad's baking bread!" Yugo exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air. "The fun never ends around here!"
"*Cough* It's not funny, Yugo! Now go to Jason's and get five loaves." Alibert said, walking over to the trashcan and dumping the batch of burnt bread into said waste disposal. "And be quick! We have some Gobball Stew to prepare! When the sun shines-"

"When the sun shines bright, the guests are in sight. Yeah, I know!" Yugo said with a grin. "Come on, Az! Last one there is a Bwork!"

"Such a good boy!" Alibert said with a chuckle.

Yugo ran outside, his faithful companion Az following after him. The boy ran ahead of Az, confusing the bird as to where his long-time friend went. The little yellow bird walked around, searching for Yugo. Said boy jumped out from behind a tree.

"Bah! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Yugo exclaimed as he surprised Az, laughing before running off. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going and ran into someone. "Oof!"

"You alright, kid?" a familiar voice asked. Yugo looked up to see the looming form of Naruto.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." Yugo said. "And hey! I'm no kid! I'm twelve!"

"Whatever you say, kid." Naruto said. "If you want to make it up to me, can you point me in the direction of where one 'Alibert' lives? I have a delivery for him."
"Oh! You're looking for my dad? I can take you to him as soon as I get some bread from Jason's." Yugo stated.

"Sweet!" Naruto said. "I'm Naruto." he said, offering Yugo a hand, to which the boy accepted.
"I'm Yugo." Yugo said.

-With Az-

The little bird Az, flew around until he saw a bright gleam in the grass. Approaching the object of interest, Az saw it was a single kama. The tiny yellow bird landed on the golden coin, settling in with a sigh.

Another tiny yellow bird appeared and started pestering Az, the latter squeaking at the other bird, as if to tell the other to back off. The bird flew away, causing Az to settle back in on top of the kama. Until the other bird came back, charging into Az and knocking said bird off. The bird squeaked in rage before settling on the kama. Az flew back to the other bird, the two having a short argument before Az took to the skies. Seconds later, Az came crashing down and started jumping up and down on top the other bird until it got off the coin so as to not get jumped on. The two birds then landed on the kama and started pushing against each other, both screaming as they did so.

"Hmmmm!" an elder man said. He wore a light gray giant shirt, a sash, and wooden open-toed shoes. He was bald, but had a white beard and bushy eyebrows. In his hands, he held a shovel-like weapon. This was Ruel Stroud. "Which one of you bird brains wants a piece of Ruel's shovel?!" Ruel exclaimed, hefting his weapon in the air. The two birds soon went flying away, screaming in fright. Ruel quickly twirled his shovel and slammed it down, causing the kama to fly up before he caught the single coin. "Mmm... Now even the birds are out there trying to get rich." he said with a chuckle at the end. "My purse gives meaning to my life."
"Excuse me!" a young woman called out.

"Oh no you don't! It's finders keepers, losers weepers!" Ruel exclaimed.

"Uh, ehehe, is this the way to Emelka?" the young woman asked. Getting a better look at who he was talking to, Ruel saw two people. The first was a blond haired seventeen year old girl wearing a parka, and the second was a green haired tanned fifteen year old girl, who also wore a parka. Both were riding on Dragoturkeys. But that wasn't what caught Ruel's attention. No, what caught his attention were the golden objects that were with the two women.

"Hmm?! Hmm... Yes!" Ruel said, laughing a little as a certain money gleam came in his eyes. "Absolutely! Been here before? If not, I can give you a tour. It would be five kamas, plus meals on top."
"No thanks!" the blond haired woman said before going off.

"Goodbye, old man!" the green haired woman said.

"I'll get you a good discount on the meals! The innkeeper is a good friend of mine! Come on!" Ruel shouted. "Hmmm! Yet more tight fisted country bumpkin tourists!" he said before going off, singing a song as he did so.

Unknown to him, a small robotic insect watched the elder man, snapping a picture as it did so.

-With Naruto and Yugo-

Yugo started cooking up Gobball Stew using his unique style of cooking.

"Ta-daaa! One Alibert Special!" Yugo exclaimed from inside the kitchen.

"-Alright, just sign here, here, and here." Naruto said, holding up a pad with a piece of paper in one hand while the other held a small cylinder-like package.

"Okay, there, there, aaaannnnddd there." Alibert muttered, signing his name where Naruto told him to. "Wait, how did you fit everything in there?"

"Trust me, you don't want to know." Naruto said, handing the package over to Alibert and storing the pad in one of his sleeves.

"Why don't you stick around for some Gobbal Stew? On the house!" Alibert said.
"Really? Thank you!" Naruto exclaimed, bowing his head slightly before sitting on one of the stools at the counter. A minute later, the doors opened up, revealing Ruel.
"Mr. Mayor, good day!" Ruel exclaimed.
"Well I'll be a greasy Gobball! Ruel Stroud!" Alibert said. "Come to pay your tab?"
"Alibert, it's a lovely day, so please don't go spoil it for me." Ruel stated.
"Have a seat, you old coot! So what have you been up to?" Alibert asked.

"Oh, you know, another day another kama!" Ruel said. "You were so right Alibert, a life with a shovel is no life at all!" As he continued talking, Ruel sat at the stool next to Naruto, said stool having a nameplate that said 'Stroud' on it. "I was thinking about hanging mine up too and open a restaurant in Bonta or maybe put together a Gobbowl team."
"But just as you were about to take the kamas from your pocket, you got cold feet, right, haha!" Alibert said jokingly.
"Ohh, I see! I open my heart to you and what do you do? You just make fun of me." Ruel said in mock sadness.

"Same old story, you old crook! You've told it to me every day for the last ten years ha! Alibert exclaimed.

"Hmmm!" Ruel just grunted but didn't deny the accusation.

"Yugo, add a plate of Gobball Stew for this poor Enutrof!" Alibert said.

"No problem, Dad!" Yugo yelled from the kitchen.

"So what's the story? How do you two know each other?" Naruto asked.
"Well, he and I go way back. Long before I even settled down." Alibert stated.

"What made you settle down?" Naruto questioned.

"And you still haven't told me how you got Yugo." Ruel added. "So who was it? Falis, Folus, Folis..."

"Well..." Alibert started.

Flashback Start

A younger Ruel and Alibert stood next to a man wearing ragged clothes and a cloak.

"Oh come on, you're not gonna throw me in the slammer for stealing an api, are you?" the man asked.
"I hope you like walking as much as you like talking, cos we've got a long way to go before we reach your new home." a younger Ruel stated, eating said api while he did so.

"It was just an api. A tiny little api, eh?" the man questioned.

"Yeah, but you know the proverb, Jason, 'He who steals an egg will soon steal a Gobball.'" the young Alibert stated.
"You bounty hunters are all the same. You're hypocrites! I stole to feed my family, so you can spare me your petty sermons. You don't understand anything!" the man, presumably Jason, exclaimed.

"Are you really asking us to believe you have a wife and kids when you have a face like that?" Ruel questioned.

"You dirty-" Jason started.
"Daddy!" a young voice called out. Turning to the source of the voice, the trio saw a little girl in rags, her eyes widened and filled with worry.
"Mia, go back home." Jason said, pulling his cloak to cover his handcuffs. "Tell Mom I've got an errand to run. I'll... I'll be back later." Tears started to well in Mia's eyes.

"Don't cry!" Alibert said.

"Mmm... Oh dear me, I know that look." Ruel stated.
"Sorry, Ruel, I don't have the heart for this anymore!" Alibert said, raising his shovel up and slashing the handcuffs off of Jason. "Get out of here, before I change my mind!"

"Phew! Come on!" Jason said, picking up Mia and walking away wearily, his eyes trained on the duo as he did so.

"Hmmmm." Ruel grunted. Alibert threw his shovel on the ground, taking a seat on the nearby bench. "So that's it, you've finally made up your mind, huh? You're hanging up your shovel?"

"Yes, older brother, this is where we go our separate ways." Alibert said, the two shared an handshake.

"May the Great Enutrof watch over you! Good luck, my friend!" Ruel said before walking away.
"Mmm... Good luck, Ruel. Take care of yourself!" Alibert said, sitting back on the bench with a sigh. 'I never was able to dig up anything half decent with this shovel anyway.'

Suddenly, a thick fog rolled in, followed by a whooshing noise.

"What's that noise?" Alibert questioned. Seconds later, the mist disappeared. "Is there anybody there?" he approached the nearby tree, only to see a small blue bundle. "Oh! Aahh!" The sound of a baby giggling followed shortly after. The baby that was in the blue bundle was Yugo. Alibert looked around to see if anybody left their child, only to find none. "By Enutrof!" Alibert said, picking up the baby Yugo. Suddenly, a small little bird popped out from inside the blue bundle. "So what are you doing here, little munchkin? And you, you little ball of feathers?" The baby Yugo's face scrunched up slightly and shortly after, the sound of someone breaking wind was heard. "AaH! Well, my little Gobball, is that how you say hi where you come from?" Alibert soon laughed before the baby Yugo pulled out a glowing blue feather and started shaking it around. "And what's this here?" Alibert plucked the feather from the infant's hands, holding it up for examination. Suddenly, the blue feather flew out of his hands and started writing strange symbols in a circular pattern in the air. As soon as the writing came full circle, the symbols shot out at Alibert's eyes. "Well I'll be darned! All I needed to do was hang up my shovel to find the most priceless treasure of all!" The baby Yugo stared at Alibert before smiling and giggling.

Flashback End

"-And that's when I settled down in this town." Alibert finished.

"So just to be clear, it wasn't Felis?" Ruel asked.

"No." Alibert said with a deadpanned expression.

-With Yugo-

"One Gobball Stew comin' up!" Yugo said, placing a pot of water to boil and slicing up a carrot midair, the slices landing on a pan. "Chop-chop! Watchout, Az, things are gonna heat up!" Various condiments and food items flew up in the air, one causing Az to fall into a flour bag and another knocking a shelf down. "Watch out!" Yugo exclaimed, thrusting his hand out as it lit up a blue color, causing a portal of the same color to appear on the ground, the contents of the shelf that was knocked down falling in said portal. "Ah? Did I do that?" Yugo walked over to the spot where the portal appeared and touching the ground. The boy channeled wakfu into his hands, causing a blue spark to fly out. Yugo channeled even more wakfu into his hands, causing another portal to appear, sending the contents of the fallen shelf flying out.

"You ok, Yugo?" Alibert called out.

"Eh-Yeah! Just fine!" Yugo replied. "Sheesh, I better clean this up."

-With Naruto, Alibert, and Ruel-

"You sure everything's okay back there?" Naruto questioned. "I'm pretty sure that the sounds coming from that kitchen mean something happened."

"Yugo has his own way of cooking. Very unique." Alibert stated. "But trust me, he'll make a worthy successor."

-With Yugo-

"Mmm, I'll try that again later. First I have a meal to serve." Yugo said, walking off to finish the orders.

Az jumped out of the flour bag. After the tiny bird recovered, Az noticed a glowing blue feather sticking out of his back. He tried shaking the feather off, but failed to. With a sigh, Az just accepted the fact a new feather just popped out of nowhere.

"Everyone watch out! Nobody move!" Yugo exclaimed, tossing the first of four plates he balanced on his head, in his hands, and on his right knee. The plate landed on one of the customers' tables, followed by a cup, a fork, and a knife. Yugo jerked his right knee up, catching the plate in his empty hand before walking up a stair railing, tossing another plate at a second customer. Yugo held the last two plates up, a look of determination on his face as he threw the last two plates. Naruto grinned and caught the flying plate, moving it around so that the projectile fork and knife were caught on the plate. Ruel, however, was not so lucky, his plate landing on his face.

"Heh-heh! Two out of three! Not bad, huh?" Yugo said. Naruto held up a sign with a 8.5 on it. "Aww! Why not a nine?" Yugo whined.
"You forgot my drink." Naruto deadpanned. Yugo smiled sheepishly as Alibert quickly helped wipe away the splattered food on Ruel.

-Outside The Inn-

A young man giggled perversely as he read a magazine depicting a shot of a woman playing Gobbowl. An explosion sound was heard, causing the man to break out of his stupor. Looking out of a crack in the outhouse, the man saw an explosion happen near one of the buildings. An orange blur hopped from building to building, causing explosions as he did so.

"Hey, can't you wait your turn? It's occupied!" the young man said.

-Inside The Inn-

"Here you go. Sorry about that again." Alibert said, giving Ruel a new plate of Gobball Stew. "Though I'd be a lot more sorry if you had actually paid for the meal."
"I forgive you. All artists can be forgiven, Alibert. And you are the greatest artist of them all!" Ruel said, pulling out a wooden spoon

"More of your flattery, eh?! Alright, I'll get you some dessert." Alibert said with a hearty laugh.
'If I could pay all my meals with flattery, I wouldn't be all skin and bones!' Ruel thought. "So what brings you out here, young man? You look like some type of noble." he asked, directing the question at Naruto, a certain familiar gleam entering his eyes.

"Sorry, but I'm not of any royal descent." Naruto stated, causing Ruel to slump over in defeat.
"But the robes...?" Ruel said.

"When my parents first found me, I was wearing these same robes." Naruto stated. "Apparently, these things grow to fit me as I grow."

Before their conversation could continue, an explosion was heard, followed by another explosion that blew the door back. Standing in the doorway was some kind of demon with long orange hair wearing a sleeveless white shirt with red trimmings, black pants, and shoes the same color scheme of its shirt. A third red eye with a red trimming was apparent on the demon.
As it walked through the restaurant, various customers started trembling. It turned its head to look at the frightened customers, causing them to shoot back in fear slightly. One pair hid their heads in the menu, another freezing up. The demon was not focused on them, however. Instead, it was focused on the trophies that sat on a nearby shelf. Walking over to said shelf, the demon picked up one of the trophies.

"Pret... ty! Nice!" the demon said.

"Forget about that, idiot, we have other things to do!" another voice said, coming from the third eye. "Destroy! It's time to destroy!"

Suddenly, a wooden fork was thrown at its head, causing the demon to turn to the source, only to get hit with a stool.

"Did you just throw the stool you were sitting on?" Ruel questioned.

"Maaaaaaayyybe..." Naruto said, heeding no mind to the angry demon as he continued eating with a spoon. A growl escaped the demon's lips when a tablecloth was draped over its head. Looking down, the demon saw a pissed off Yugo.

"Hey you, look at the mess you've made!" Yugo exclaimed. "If you think I'm gonna clean up after you, you're crazy!"

"Huh?" the demon grunted confusingly, before roaring and pulling its fist back.
"Yeah, that's it! Let your hate out." the third eye said. The punch crashed into the floorboard, leaving the demon confused as to where its target went.
"Well, good thing I don't get that upset every time Dad asks me to clean the inn!" Yugo said from atop the demon's head. The demon growled before throwing a punch at its own head. Yugo jumped away just in time for the demon to punch itself in the head. After it recovered, the demon growled in rage, causing the frightened customers to start running and screaming. "Dad! Those people haven't paid!"

"There are some people who would take advantage of anything. But don't worry, son. I'll recognize them." Alibert said, quickly ducking under a flying projectile. Yugo jumped at the demon, only to be swatted away by said demon, sending him flying into the kitchen. "Yugo!" Alibert exclaimed. The demon roared before Naruto stood up, dashing at the beast. A Gudōdama appeared next to Naruto's right hand, the red headed man quickly grabbing the ball and morphing it into a black rod about four feet in length. Naruto jumped up and pushed off of the demon's head before swinging the black rod in his hand at the demon, knocking him to the side, but not enough to make him topple down. Naruto swung the black rod once more, only this time the demon caught the rod, tearing it away from Naruto as it lifted him up. Just as it was about to punch Naruto, a familiar shovel blocked the fist courtesy of Ruel. The demon growled before swinging Naruto at Ruel, sending them both flying into the wall.

"Why does this sort of thing always happen to me whenever I try to complete a task?!" Naruto cried out, comical tears falling from his eyes.

"Is there anything broken?" Alibert asked. He received no answer as Az started chirping at Yugo, waking the boy.

"Now, crush them! Destroy them!" the third eye exclaimed. Currently, Naruto and Ruel were at the mercy of the demon as it held them in each hand.
"A Shushu! He's possessed by a Shushu!" Ruel exclaimed.
"Hey! What's a Shushu?" Yugo asked after throwing a piece of rubble at the demon.

"It's an evil spirit. A demon trapped in an object. When it's badly controlled, it becomes free and possesses its owner!" Ruel explained.
"Gramps there seems to know what he's talking about. Get rid of him!" the third eye said.

"Oh yeah? We'll see about that!" Yugo said, his hands getting a glowing blue color as two portal appeared, one above the demon and the other in front of Yugo as he jumped through, appearing on the other side.

"Now you're thinking with portals!" Naruto joked.
'The... The message...' Alibert thought with wide eyes.

Flashback Start

"This child and this Tofu are very special." a deep male voice said along with the strange blue symbols. "I have chosen you to take care of them. Raise them well! Protect them from harm with your life. One day, the boy's powers will awaken and a message will appear, telling him where to find his true family. On this day, he will have to set out to find them. The future of the world depends on it." Once the voice finished speaking, the blue glowing symbols shot out at Alibert's eyes.

"Holy Bwork!" Alibert exclaimed.

Flashback End

"What are you doing, you brat?! Let me go!" the third eye exclaimed as Yugo pulled on it, red sparks flying off of it as it did so. After Yugo pulled the eye off, it became a small black sword with the same red eye as part of the guard.

"Yugo! You okay?" Alibert said as Yugo laughed.
"Mhm!" Yugo said. Suddenly, the fallen demon started glowing.

"Eh?" Alibert questioned as the demon shrunk until it became a seventeen year old man with orange hair that seemed to defy gravity.
"Wow, did he shrink in the wash?" Yugo joked.

"Ohhh... There's something I absolutely must tell you!" the man exclaimed.

"Hmm?" Ruel questioned.
"Zzzzzzzzz..." the man snored.

"He's out cold!" Naruto stated. "Well, kid, that was some pretty impressive stuff!"
"What was that game of hide and seek you played, Yugo? I've never seen that kind of magic before." Ruel asked.

"And what about yours?" Alibert asked, directing the question at Naruto. "I've seen all sorts of magic before, but nothing like yours."

"It just sorta happened." Yugo replied. "Pretty cool, don't you think? I just discovered it when I was doing the cooking."
"I've always had these powers." Naruto stated, shrugging his shoulders. "I don't know how I got them, but I've gotten pretty good with them if I say so myself."

"Yugo! I have something extremely important to tell you." Alibert said. "When I fond you, there was a message in your baby carriage. It spoke of your powers and your real family..." Before he could continue, a scream was heard outside.

-Outside The Inn-

A man screamed as a black miniature creature touched him, turning him into a immobile vegetation statue.

"What's all that racket?!" Ruel asked, the group poking their heads out the doorway to see the madness happening outside.

"Things are always so exciting whenever I go out!" Naruto exclaimed, a grin on his face.

Unknown to the group, a robotic lens captured both the blue energy that Yugo used and the black rods that Naruto used.
