Author Note: The feedback I got from the story was greater than I expected, more positive too, only constructive critics not one flame yet.

The story will follow the end of the anime, Arachne was killed and eaten by Asura who was later defeated by Maka in the dome of madness, but the Great Old Ones and Noah from the manga will show up .

Again, a shout out to SevenKings who helped me out a lot during the writing of this chapter and development of the story.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto or Soul Eater.

IMPORTANT : Naruto's family won't be villainous, neither will be cruel or too neglecting like locking him out of the house, but they weren't a loving family or showed much care and for a child that is important so that weakened Naruto which Arachne used to have him eat Asura soul, and once you are a Kishin there's no turning back

Also for the Guest that left the review about Naruto graduating, I understand your comment but I had left implied that when entered the Academy he still hoped to get his parents approval (wasn't pass that phase yet) and that after that it would be suspicious, and in this fic illegal, if the child of the Kage who was now proven capable of being a ninja suddenly left the Academy.

I did another rewrite of chapter 1, I changed some scenes to remove some cliches and make Minato and Kushina less assholes (it does not mean that Naruto will be nice with his family, he is a Kishin, he isn't inclined to be nice with anybody, only perhaps Arachne...perhaps)

Naruto's mentality will vary from fearful, a total coward, rage, sadism, loving, calm and obsessive constantly during the story, as I believe that's how a new kishin should be.

*I HAVEN'T RE-READ THE CHAPTER AND LIKELY WON'T DO TILL NEXT WEEKEND AS I WILL BE TRAVELING, IF YOU NOTICE SOMETHING WRONG PM ME PLEASE, I WILL REMOVE THIS WHEN I RE-READ THE CHAPTER

Arachne tightened her hold on Naruto as she smirked at the Hokage.

"The flames were scary..." the boy murmured in her arms the anger and cool head previous shown to Kiba and Mito respectively forgotten, his broken psych rattled with the primal animal fear of fire.

"Shhh dear, I am here now, as long as you're in my arms you have nothing to fear" she spoke softly in his ears, the boy holding to her words as a life-line against his ever-increasing fear.

She watched as Minato looked away and flashed back to the booth, taking Tsunade and his daughter with him, likely so Mito could rest.

She was sure he would bring up Naruto abnormal reaction during their talk at the Hokage office later, looking more like a PTSD patient than a 15 year old young man who's never been outside the village.

After a couple of minutes of her holding him, her hand moving through his hair, she spoke again, knowing she would have to break the results of her new great discovery on magic slowly to the young man.

But it was necessary, after all, with this she could bring back her two most loyal and useful servants.

She hugged him a little tighter as she started.

"Naruto dear, I know you might not like, but we will have two new people with us soon-" as she was finishing speaking she felt as the arms around her tightened to a hurtful level.

Luckily there were no-one sitting close by, as the entire stadium for just the parents and senseis left quite a few free spots so they sat far from everybody else.

"Am I not enough?... you are leaving me!" the boy said in a voice that was somehow soft, hysterical and angry at the same time "You will ignore me for them just like my family!".

"I won't let you..." as he said that the ends of his scarf imitated arms snaking around Arachne as well, covering her entire upper body on a scarf blanket but holding so tightly that she started to choke as the scarf tightened even more.

Even she had to admit she was nervous, she was killed by one of Asura's fits of fear last time and Naruto was becoming increasingly like a new version of him, only more loving but also with more self-confidence problems.

She knew she had to handle this calmly, leaving no room for the boy to think he was being abandoned as that would be room for his own madness to turn him against her.

"Calm down my dear, they will be here only to make things easier so I can spend more time with you, I would never abandon my dear Naruto-chan." she said softly pulling him closer to her body with all strength she could manage as the scarfs still suffocated her.

"I will always be here for you my sweet child." her worry hidden as she spoke with seeming sincerity.

She felt him relaxing in her arms, her words and embrace securing him, but he still kept a strong, painfully so, hold on her.

"But I don't know how to deal with new people, they scare me" the boy said in her arms now sounding more sad and nervous than dangerous as before.

"You won't have to deal with them if you don't want to, I will take care of everything, there will be nothing for you to be scared of" she said to him, smirking an unseen smirk at the boy as she felt him release her from the painful hug, but not letting go of her.

In the Hokage boot, Kushina was restrained by Minato and Jiraiya, as she tried to attack the "damn cougar hugging her little boy".

Arachne kept holding the young Kishin as the tournament went on, Sasuke fought and beat Sai in a quick taijutsu battle (as Sai didn't use his Ink techniques), Erza defeated Shino with some but little difficulty and Kiba easily defeated Ino.

"It appears you're quite lucky, Naruto-chan" Arachne said to the boy.

He just raised his head to look up at her, tilting his head in confusion.

Arachne chuckled at his behavior "It seems that boy you were bickering with won his match, so you might get to fight him"

Naruto's face lit with a slightly childish glee, the fear for now forgotten as expectation took hold, he would be able to go against the dog that disrespected Okaa-sama and said that she was going to leave him, Naruto wasn't going to accept even the mentioning of such thing.

"But it's true, getting close to her will only hurt you more when she throws you away."

Naruto tensed when he heard the voice, he looked behind him, tensing even more when he saw a pale skinny man with black hair that had white vertical white like marks and three eyes.

He was afraid. He knew who the man was, his mother had showed him images and he saw the face in a mirror when reliving the man's memories, Asura the Demon God of Madness and Terror, his predecessor.

That was something that was becoming increasingly common, as time passed Naruto saw more and more of the dead god, every time his confidence was down and his paranoia up the old Kishin was there to make it worse.

"Go away, I don't need you..." he whispered, his predecessor just stared at him for a few seconds before disappearing with a breeze.

"Hmm, what was that Naruto-chan ?" Arachne asked as she heard the boy say something but too quietly for her to understand it.

"Nothing, Okaa-sama just talking to myself " Arachne looked deep into his eyes before nodding and holding him closely waiting for the screen to chose the next fighters.

Unknowing to him, she was quite nervous, while occasionally thinking out loud might be common for a normal teenager for Naruto to be doing it, it could mean a number of things, almost all of them worrying for her and the world.

She knew that he needed some distraction, she just happened to know the perfect thing. With a bit of magic she manipulated the screen making it stop on her choice.

Naruto Gorgon x Kiba Inuzuka

This time there was no reaction from the audience as they already expected Naruto's different name, though the reason of the change was still an unknown.

Naruto's face lit up like it was Rikudo's Day. (Elemental Nations Christmas).

He and the mutt quickly got into the stadium, everyone paying close attention to the match, mostly to see what Naruto would do after that strange display with his scarf.

Kiba was a little worried because even if he was a little arrogant he still knew he was a lot weaker than Mito, and considering that she still hasn't woken up his chances didn't seem that great.

Naruto just looked completely focused on Kiba, kinda like a rabid hungry lion staring at a piece of meat.

The proctor glanced at the two before bring his arm down with a yell

"Hajime!" (Start!)

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto attacked, differently from the first fight where he was mostly curious about the entirety of fighting and the origin of his sister conviction, he just wanted to hurt Kiba on this one.

Much like in the fight before, one the ends of his scarf moved like a snake, quickly closing in on the dog-boy, and while the weakest of the left participants said dog-boy still had good reflexes managing to roll to the side just before he could be pierced through.

He quickly got up looking at his opponent direction, he was surprised as Naruto was already just in front of him.

As he prepared to defend himself he suddenly coughed blood, looking down he saw Naruto arm piercing through torso, most specifically his stomach, proven when Naruto brought his arm back bringing out the Inuzuka's stomach along the way.

Kiba fell to the ground, howling in pain holding his abdomen in a desperate effort to keep his guts from spilling out, when he heard a sarcastic voice.

"Already falling mutt, but I haven't even started hurting you yet.."

Kiba looked at the voice, the pain in his torso suddenly gone, just to find Naruto in the same spot of the start of the fight. He looked down, seeing his abdomen without a scratch, Akamaru looking at him worryingly.

"Ge...Genjutsu...?"

He asked nobody in particular, looking bewildered as he never seen a genjutsu like that, most genjutsu that affect you directly, such as the Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Deathyou realize that you are trapped in but just can't break it and most terrifying was the fact that only the most powerful genjutsu can make you feel actual pain and Kiba felt as his stomach was ripped out.

"Genjutsu... I don't know any Genjutsu fleabag." Naruto said looking at Kiba with a sadistic smile.

Kiba slowly got up, still mentally exhausted from what he perceived as Genjutsu.

In the stands Arachne looked shocked.

"That was concentrated Madness wavelength, I never taught him how to manipulate his wavelength like that, how did..." she thought, worried as Naruto seemed to develop outside her predictions.

Naruto stood still as Kiba got up. After getting his bearing together, Kiba got into his clan taijutsu stance, falling on all four of his limbs, ready for another shot at the boy in front of him

"Let's go Akamaru, Bea-" He stopped middle sentence as when he turned to look at his partner expecting to see a dog that didn't even reach his knee in height he saw a monster of a dog taller that himself with three eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

As Kiba stood there frozen in the face of such a monster till the laughing started.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.."

That broke the Inuzuka from his trance, looking in the direction of the noise he saw Naruto laughing like a mad man, his back bent backwards, Kiba looked back to where the beast was, just to find Akamaru looking inquisitively at him. He looked up to see the audience either just looking confused at him or looking at the disturbingly laughing Naruto .

"It's so easy to influence you, such a fragile soul..." Kiba turned to see Naruto looking at him to what appeared to be mocking pity.

" WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THIS ?!...HOW THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THIS?!"

Kiba shouted, loosing his composure, already stressed out of his mind with all the pain and fear he felt in the last 3 minutes.

"Hmmmm..." Naruto dragged out, tilting his head in seemingly real confusion. "Why am I doing this... That's a good question really, I was thinking of just beating you, breaking the most bones I could, so why am I doing this..."

The boy looked genuinely confused with his own actions. It was genuine, Naruto didn't plan to do this but as his anger focused on the boy so did his Madness Wavelength and apparently using so much of it, something that Naruto never did before as Arachne stopped him saying it would draw too much attention, had side-effects on Naruto's mentality turning the boy more sadistic.

"I better end this, I am getting to into it" Naruto said frowning to himself, he loved the power that the Kishin Soul gave him, but he didn't want to lose himself in it.

"And that's why you are still weak, leave the world behind immerse in the madness and it will give a greater power than you could ever imagine. There would be no more fear, no more worry, only insanity." Sounded the voice of Asura through his head.

That actually gave Naruto a pause, for him who feared so many things daily, from the hate of the villagers, his Okaa-sama leaving him to even theories his mind created such as Kumo trying to get the Uzumaki bloodline again or the Shinigami coming for him, the idea of being free of such constant terror and paranoia was tempting.

He though back to the memories of the original Kishin, how Asura the son of the Shinigami himself, would drown in his fear, fearing everything around him, from his partner to his own shadow till finally completely surrendering to madness to escape the fear.

Asura had found a strange peace in pure madness, his behavior was a reflexion of that. As though he was the manifestation of fear and insanity he was able to calmly talk to his father, the one who ripped out his flesh and bones and sealed him in a bag of his own skin for 800 years.

Naruto couldn't talk calmly to his mother figure if he thought she may, perharps be a little disappointed with him.

Before Naruto could fall deeper into the Kishin's allure he was saved, ironically enough, by Kiba that had taken the time of Naruto's distraction to attack with Akamaru, the Inuzuka and his canine companion slamming into the kishin's abdomen with his clan's famous Gatsuga.

After the first hit Kiba followed with three consecutive ones, just to make sure, before sending Naruto flying to the wall, causing a loud impact when he hit it.

Everyone was silent, no-one expecting such a turn of events, as though the civilians may not understand why, they could see that Naruto was winning as Kiba had those sudden panic attacks that the shinobi viewers thought to be genjutsu.

The proctor was about to call the match, as one Gatsuga is considered dangerous so being hit by four straight should be enough to defeat any gennin. But as soon as he opened his mouth.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" The now somewhat familiar mad laugh sounded around the stadium. Though it sounded even more demented.

As everyone looked worryingly back to the wall Naruto was thrown at, they saw Naruto getting up, though not unharmed the skin on his abdomen, back and shoulder was resembling a whirlpool from the impact of his opponents rotating attacks.

It was worrying, disturbing and impossible. The skin was so rotated that it should have ripped some time ago. As it was, it looked more like Kiba had hit molding mass than skin.

As all looked at the boy the skin suddenly rotated back to where it was before, leaving the boy apparently uninjured.

The laughter soon stopped the boy looking at Kiba with a psychotic smile and insane eyes, but as soon as he opened his mouth to speak he suddenly widened his eyes and held his head in his hands.

It was quiet for a minute before the screaming began.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

A high pitch scream rang through the entire village and beyond with Naruto's outburst. After a few seconds the scream suddenly stopped. Naruto bending his back backwards inhumanly as his head touched the ground without him moving his lower body.

Everyone looked disturbed by the strangeness of it all, the Hokage got up to interfere and find out what was wrong about his son, but before he could interfere, Naruto straightened up.

As soon as he finished getting to a more humanly possible position, he looked in Kiba's direction, the dog-boy takin a step back as he saw Naruto's eyes unfocused, as if he was looking at something beyond Kiba.

"What was... I have to end this." Naruto said in unfocused voice.

As he finished saying that, Naruto flicked his wrist at the air in front of him in Kiba's direction, a red energy making a ripple in the middle of air and then dissipating.

First it seemed nothing was going to happen, then suddenly Kiba head inflated a little before going back to it's normal size, after that blood dripped from his nose and he was sent flying through the air.(1)

All was quiet as everyone but Arachne tried to understand what just happened. The proctor finally got his bearings back, and ran to check on the Inuzuka, finding him unconscious he declared Naruto the winner and called the medics.

Said medics soon entered the arena to take Kiba, some also tried checking Naruto but he passed by ignoring them and walked away.

When he got to a covered part of the arena, the passage, between the participant booth and the stage of the arena, Naruto fell to his knees coughing a black substance he knew to be his blood.

"You shouldn't have tried to fight the Madness" he heard a voice to his side.

Looking up from his position he saw, the form of the old god, looking down upon him.

"What is happening to me..." the boy said weakly, his eyes looking fearfully at Asura, as the old god knelt so by his side.

"That is because you're reaching your coming of age as one of the Eight Powerful Warlord" said the old god.

"What does that have to do with this pain and my loss of control?" Naruto asked still weakly and on the ground in pain.

"No-one knows exactly what the Great Old Ones were, while I was the son of the Shinigami the other ones either didn't remember their parents or a few actually knew their parents to be normal humans, but in the end they were creature beyond normal humans and witches. And while little is known about them even for me that was one of them, one thing they all had in common, during their 18 birthday, their power had a jump and their mentality became more centered around that which is their defining characteristic. For me it was Fear, for the Shinigami desire for Order, for Excalibur it was Narcissism(2)and so on, and you shall soon go through that as well." explained Asura, surprisingly serene.(3)

"If the coming of age is at 18 then why am I going through this now" Naruto continued in a pained voice.

"You've lived a reasonably sheltered life, even if you have existential problems and is on the receiving end of the hatred from most villagers , your parents didn't let you suffer too much, there were no beating, as your father is Hokage, no miss of basic needs, as even if not very attentive your parents didn't forget you to that point, and no life risk, as it's considered almost impossible for foreign shinobi to get pass Konoha's walls. Even through your training Arachne hasn't let you force yourself too hard, so even if was inconsequential for a Kishin, what Kiba gave you was the worse injure you suffered so far, and to counter it you released too much power and lost yourself in it, during that time you were more Asura than Naruto, and since Asura was already of age, your body started the process to accommodate the soul, if it had went unrestrained the process would have made you a revived Asura, completely erasing your original self, but you contained the power middle that, so now your original soul is fighting Asura's influence causing you to suffer in the process." said the Kishin..

"Why-" Naruto started before he was interrupted in the middle of the setence by another coughing fit, throwing up more black blood.

The god understanding his unfinished question continued "While mine characteristic was Fear, yours apparently is different and as when you consumed my soul your own was changed from a human one to a Warlord's soul your representation became potentially as important as Asura's Terror representation and now the characteristics of the two souls are fighting, my Fear and whatever your natural one is supposed to be."

If the situation wasn't so painful Naruto would find it funny, since the part of his soul that represented his fear was busy fighting for dominance over whatever his original representation of madness was the most dangerous moment of his life till now was also the moment where he felt less fear, ironic really.

Removing unnecessary thoughts, Naruto questioned his predecessor again.

"Why are you helping me? In your own memories you were never so helpful, not even with Vajra(4)" Naruto questioned his predecessor again, after the coughing stopped.

"While I may have the form of Asura, and refer myself as him, I am not truly him." replied the apparently not Asura.

"Then what are you?" Naruto continued.

"I am a representation of his power within your soul, simply the power you haven't completely assimilated yet. And I am helpful for as part of your soul is within my nature to help the whole, taking the form best suited to support it, even if goes against my previous personality, that is why I can talk to you so calmly." it continued.

"When I was down before you appeared to make it worse, why then?" Naruto asked his eyes narrowing slighly

"Like I said I represent Asura's power within you, his madness as well, normally I act accordingly to the nature of his madness and try to help by converting you to it as I see as beneficial. But since the madness is...occupied I am in a blank state and as such responding to outside influences and responding to your questions." Naruto weakly nodded in understanding, this was likely a one time thing then.

"When does it-" again Naruto was interrupted by a coughing fit.

"It is more violent now, as when the process began it was met with a unplanned resistance, but it will soon adapt and while there may be slight fits of pain it shouldn't trouble you so much as you had those since the sealing of the Kyuubi's left over chakra" the representation answered before his body flickered.

"I am beginning to slip, soon I will return to being just a piece of your conscience, just two more warnings from what I glimmered from Asura's memories, while there can be a number of powerful people there will always be three great superpowers in the world. You were probably destined to be one of them so there should be only two others, we know that the Shinigami exists here, though we don't know if it's connected to the one from Asura's dimension, so while two are familiar the third probably is different from Mabaa so be wary of that." The representation said as it's body began to fade.

"Wait! I have more q-" Naruto sentence was once again interrupted by a coughing fit, this one though was more powerful Naruto eventually lost control in his arms and fell face first in the ground, losing conscience as he did so, vaguely hearing the audience cheer out in the arena, before darkness claimed his vision.

00000000000000000000000000

The match between the youngest of the Hokage triplets and the youngest son of the Uchiha Clan Head was quick but somewhat more entertaining to watch for the civilians as it didn't include tactics or genjutsu that was too difficult for them to truly grasp.

It was a match full of flashy ninjutsu and beautiful kenjutsu, in the end the results were the expected, Erza won with a crushing victory.

Sasuke while a prodigy on his own right, just didn't have the talent or training Erza had.

Erza was nervous and expectant of the next match, much like her sister she shared the Uzumaki ideal of Fists of Love, the ideal that the best way of mutual understanding is through battle, so with this fight she hoped to better understand her minutes-older brother.

So after the 10 minute break to let her rest after her fight, she waited impatiently as her brother's name was called, by the proctor.

After 5 minutes the name was called, this time by speaker.

5 more minutes pass and the name is called again this time with warning that if he doesn't show up he will be declassified.

After the last 5 minutes pass, she is declared winner, not that anyone was caring about that as all over the arena everyone murmured of where her brother could be.

As the Hokage send a Anbu squad to look for the missing participant, she start to leave the arena going through the hallway that connects the participant booth and the arena, a place she avoided as she and Sasuke had jumped down to the arena, and Sasuke was latter taken through the medical passage while she jumped up again.

As she was walking down the hallway, she saw a shadowy silhouette on the floor, frowning as she approached cautiously, a sword already in hand, since as both daughter of the Hokage and Jinchuuriki she knew that, while it hadn't happened because of the village security, she could easily be targeted for assassinations, but as she got close enough to see the figure with more details, she quickly recognized the clothes and hair on the fallen person.

Abandoning caution she dispersed the sword while rushing to her now brother. She soon reached him, turning him around she was met with his face distorted in agony, some kind of black liquid falling from his lips.

Her eyes widened before she quickly held him and ran back to the arena.

00000000000000000000000000

Almost everyone was still within the arena, the parents talking and getting ready to leave with their children, most of the jonin wondering where their leader's son could be and in the Hokage booth, the Hokage tried calming his wife and command the Anbu at the same time while Tsunade drank and Jiraiya spoke with Hiruzen.

As everyone was busy with their own things the only one who noticed Erza running back, before she screamed for the medics was Arachne, thankfully that short time was enough for her to realize who Erza was carrying and to cast a illusion over the blood on the figure as she got up.

But excluding her, everyone's heads turned as soon as they heard the, familiar to most, voice of Erza screaming frantically for help.

In less than a second Minato flashed in, Kushina appearing in a shunshin a moment later, the Hokage almost screamed for medics before he flashed away returning with Tsunade, Kushina while that was happening was calming her daughter and helping her to gently lay Naruto on the ground.

Soon the medics entered the arena with a stretcher, getting to Naruto while Tsunade was trying to discover the problem with a analyzing jutsu, but till now without success.

Everyone watched as the medics, carefully took the boy from the ground and put him in the stretcher before speeding of to the nearest hospital.

Kushina and Erza followed the medics to keep their son and brother company, while Minato turned to look at the presence he felt from the bleachers that for all he knew could be guilty of this.

Finding Arachne standing on the edge of the bleachers he threw one of his special Kunais flashing into her side.

He simply turned to look at her with narrowed eyes, said "The Hokage Office, now" firmly, took hold of her shoulder and flashed away, taking the foreigner with him.

000000000000000000000000

It was a normal day at hospital, a few shinobi injured from missions, some acidents and a few unfortunate diseases that chakra couldn't heal a very normal day, at least till a medic group enter running with a frantic Kushina and Erza behind.

While a frantic family behind someone being carried to the hospitals was unfortunately not uncommon in a military village, what gave everyone a pause was who the family was, after all everyone knew Kushina, the Hokage's wife, the Red Death, strongest kunoichi since Tsunade, now possible even stronger than the Slug Princess and Erza the daughter of the Hokage, Jinchuuriki of the Yin of the Kyuubi and possible next Red Dead. So the scene of both of them running behind a stretcher gathered a lot of attention.

When the villagers saw who it was whispers started around the room as everyone followed the stretcher till it passed the main hall to the rooms where the Anbu that was secretly following the entorage stopped them.

Naruto was soon put into a bed, where Tsunade and the rest of the medic team started a deeper examination while Kushina and Erza were removed from the room so that the medics could work.

While they worked on the boy's body in his mind the true danger was happening.

As Naruto walked, naked as the day he was born, through what appeared to be a sewer with the walls distorted and covered in graffiti of the three eyes mark, blood runing through the sewer in place of the expected dirty water, he heard a sound through one of the many doors on his left.

He walked to the closest door, looked at it for a minute before opening, seeing it empty he closed it and moved to the next.

After a minute staring at that door as well, he opened it and like he was expecting he found it empty like the last one, just darkness staring at him. But as was about started to turn to go to next closing the door while doing it, he felt a hand grabbing him.

His head snapped to look at the hand touching his own, seeing a very wrinkled and pale hand he was about to panic and throw the strongest blast of destruction he could at the dark door when suddenly another wrinkly hand shot of the door with great speed, this one wrapping itself around his mouth, soon dozens of hands shot of darkness quickly pulling him into, his muffled screams soon silenced as the door closed.

000000000000000000000000

That happened at the hospital, an important conversation was beginning at the Hokage's Office.

"So, Arachne, you say Naruto is your adopted son, excluding how that is legally impossible as he is a member of the Uzumaki clan, explain how this began." started Minato as soon as he and Arachne finished sitting, Jiraiya standing by his left side while Hiruzen sat in the other guest chair at Arachne's right side.

"I don't know why you talk as if I committed a crime, I simply found a sad boy in need and helped him to the best of my abilities." Arachne replied with a slightly mocking smile, something everyone in the room easily recognized.

Minato's eyes narrowed. As a experienced shinobi he could easily see the mocking tone on her voice, it was like she wasn't even trying to conceal it. He decided to let that go for now, he would go back to it later, taking a deep breath he continued.

"First things first, I assume you have the entry permission?" Minato asked, the entry permission being proof the gate guards found no obvious reason to stop you from entering the village, not having it and being in the village automatically booked you a one way ticket to T&I.

Luckily, Arachne had done her research years before, and it was easily enough to cast a spell over the two chunin that seemed to always be at the gates.

"Of course Minato-san" she said showing the document, the Hokage took it, checking to see its authenticity, his frown deepening from the lack of respect using his name and "san", not his tittle and "sama" as it should be in this kind of meeting. But decided to let it go as well.

"Very well, everything seems to be in order, continuing then where are you from?"

"Oh, far away..." the woman said, hiding her the lower part of her face behind her fan, not that it did anything as you could practically feel her smirk. Unfortunately Minato wasn't in mood for playing .

"ENOUGH! If you don't answer my questions willingly you will by force, I will give you one last chance before I have you sent to the T&I department." Minato said, quickly loosing what was left of his patience from today's events, with two of his children in the hospital he wouldn't waste time with the woman, likely at least partially responsible for his son introvert behavior, dancing around his questions.

Jiraiya and Hiruzen just watched silently from the frontlines, Jiraiya frowning slightly from how quickly his student lost his calm and Hiruzen just sighted knowing the mental exhaustion being Hokage sometimes caused.

Arachne frowned slightly behind her fan, perhaps it was better not to provoke him while Naruto was at the hospital, she knew that while inattentive the man cared for the boy.

"I am from Demon Country, Hokage-sama" Arachne said, this time in a more polite voice. It was a lie she thought a while back when she was studying the land.

Demon Country was known to have the most Kekkei Genkai over all Nations, most of them being the results of mutations from contact with the various demonic creatures sealed within the land, the most notorious being Moryo.

The only reason the other nations didn't try to conquer it was because any instability within the land may release the demons something no-one wants, so just before the Second Shinobi War a pact was made that said that any nation caught doing anything that may unbalance the stability of Demon Country is to be considered an enemy of the entire Elemental Nations, the pact was made between the Daymios of all countries, the kages from the Five Great Villages and the leaders of various minor villages.

The Hokage looked her in the eyes, his narrowed eyes trying to look into her soul, trying and failing, after all trickery was her game and she had more than millennium of experience in it.(5)

"Saying you're from the Demon Country is the most common excuse in the book, I hope you bring some proof of it." the Hokage said after a few moments of staring.

"Of course Hokage-sama, I think a show of my own Kekkei Genkai could suffice, I hear Jiraiya-sama is a sage so he could feel the demonic presence in it to confirm" she calmly replied with a seemingly polite smile.

"Yes, that would give your story some credibility, let's go to the arena to get that out of the way, I will confirm that before my other questions" Minato said getting up.

"There's is no need for that Hokage-sama" Arachne said still with her confident smile

Minato narrowed his eyes thinking she was somehow trying to delay the trial, when suddenly the room's walls were covered in a shadow with a white web design, getting up alarmed the Hokage quickly got two of his kunais at hand, aiming them at the principal suspect.

"What is the meaning of this!" he said strongly.

"Ara, I only wanted to help Hokage-sama, after all weren't we going to the arena" Arachne continued her smile still seemingly kind.

As she finished saying that the darkness that had surrounded the room vanished, astonishing the three shinobi as they found their selves in the Hokage booth overseeing the now empty arena.

"How... Jikuukan Ninjutsu?" said the astonished Jiraiya, he didn't know what he preferred to believe, that this was a new space-time ninjutsu the woman created or that this was her kekkei genkai.

In the first option that would mean that she was at least incredible intelligent, if not powerful, as the space-time branch of ninjutsu was the most complex one, with the only acknowledged masters being the Nidaime and Yondaime Hokages, and moving moving three persons without previous marker, as she never entered the booth only waited with Iruka outside, is a master level technique. On the second chance if a power like this is her kekkei genkai, she could be the start of an incredibly dangerous clan, and while they could try forcing her to stay in Konoha, the village followed and showed a pacifist image, if they started forcing kekkei genkai users into their ranks they would lose what separated them from Iwa or Kumo and allowed them to proudly hold the title of the strongest village with the smaller dependence on the darker side of the shinobi between all of the Great Five, and that is including Danzo actions.

"That is Spatial Magic, my bloodline" Ah so it was a kekkei genkai.

"Spatial...Magic, while I can understand the spatial part, why not Spatial Release, what is this, magic?" questioned Hiruzen(6)

"It's a chakra bloodline, magic is just how I call the energy resulted from the demonic mutation." easily lied Arachne., none of the experienced shinobi being able to catch the millennium old witch in the lie.

"Now, why don't Jiraiya-sama go into this sage mode so we can get this test done, I admit I am quite curious about how senjutsu works so this will be a learning trip for all of us." she said, talking as if the four of them were old friends, not a millennia old manipulative witch and three experienced war heroes all trying to be the smartest person in the room...booth.

Jiraiya would normally use this as a chance to brag to the woman he had to admit might be the most beautiful one he ever saw, excluding perhaps Tsunade, but he could see that this was a serious matter for his student so he decided to be serious for now. The beating he knew Tsunade and Kushina, maybe with even Mito and Erza would give him if they discovered he tried flirting in such situation had nothing to do with it, yes, nothing at all.

So after Jiraiya summoned Pa and Ma, explained what was happening to them and got into sage mode they were finally ready to begin.

"Hm, since its only to confirm the nature of my power, something simple will do" said Arachne before summoning three purple disks that levitated around her as if in orbit.

"It's has traces demonic power in it, it looks a lot like the kind of power I seen from Demon Country mutated bloodlines" Jiraiya commented.

"I see, then I apologize for the trouble miss, but we needed confirmation" said Minato, though she was still likely using his son for some kind of plan she was now also a great asset for Konoha.

And who knowsm if what she said was true and she just helped Naruto while he was in a bad spot and kept him company since then, there was no reason he shouldn't be polite, so he would be, for Konoha and just in case.

"It was no problem, as leader and a father you have to make sure unknowns aren't threats, it's understandable" replied Arachne, with her motherly smile.

Hell, now he understood why his son saw her as a mother figure, as an orphan he almost wanted to hug her because of that smile. If only he wasn't sure Kushina would kill him if he did.

Closing his eyes for a second to get his bearing back he continued.

"Well then, you will be allowed to move through the village for now and I think it's obvious but you will be kept under watch by a Anbu squad until I feel you have shown to be trustworthy." was the Hokage's decision, he stopped for a second before continuing, with the possibly most important question.

"Now then, Arachne-san, why was Naruto so fearful when attacked by the Katon jutsu, while freezing in fright or something of the kind is expected, his reaction was completely different from the expected." Minato asked seriously, the greatest reason he was so doubtful of the woman was because of his son's behavior.

Arachne frowned sadly, as if troubled, an expression that looked truthful even to the trained shinobi.

"I do not know of where his fear came from, when I met him he was a fearful child, though the reaction to the fire surprised even me." she said, sounding deeply troubled.

The three shinobi stared for a moment, before Minato turned to look at his sensei, who was still at sage mode, with the two elderly toads on his shoulders, both human and amphibian shook their heads negative, being unable to feel a lie while in sage mode. Believing in his sensei capability, Minato decided that until further evidence showed she was likely saying the truth.

"I see, I will have to look further into that later, but you are likely not guilty of that so I will let go for now." was the Hokage's decree.

Arachne simply gave a smile before frowning as if just remembering something.

"I hope it won't be a problem Hokage-sama, but there were two old acquaintances of mine that were coming to stay with me." She said still frowning.

Minato narrowed his eyes in thought for a moment, before slowly nodding, after all though Konoha was a military village it was also considered a large and high traffic city.

It began during the Shodaime's time as the hidden villages were just supposed to put the clans together, not be a military force, so it would be no problem to be opened to tourists and immigrants, who at the time wanted to see the impressive ninja clans. Unfortunately when the Fist Shinobi War Began, the fact that Konoha was a tourism hot spot, even with the traveling restrictions served as a security weakness, but it wasn't removed since during times of peace it was part of what made Konoha the strongest, as the people that visited the village were more comfortable hiring it than the others more closed off villages, not to mention it brought immigration and with it, new recruits

"Very well, your acquaintances may stay with you, speaking of which, where in the village do you live?" Minato allowed and questioned.

Arachne frown turned true at that point, she knew that the forest she stayed was probably off bounds, she never managed to get the complete laws of the place while in hiding, and it may very well destroy her first choice of plans, which needed her in the village and her residence may cause her to be forcefully removed by the Hokage.

"I stay at the place known as the Forest of Death, Hokage-sama" she said simply.

Everyone's eyes widened, while her power seemed impressive she looked like the kind of person that leaded from afar, but to survive on the training ground she must know how to use the power effectively.

What Arachne didn't know, was that while the forest was covered in warnings to stay away, it actually wasn't outlawed for civilian, local or not, presence.

Some Konoha training grounds were public, so that ninja could show off the non-secret skills to possible hires, so while most grounds were restricted the 44th was just so naturally dangerous that no-one ever bothered officially restricting it. As such Arachne was surprised when Minato continued.

"I see, it's impressive that you managed to survive in such place, I am sorry but you will need to relocate, though staying in the forest is not strictly illegal it would complicate things, a hotel room will be provided for two moths so you can have time to find a place to stay, my secretary shall give the address of your temporary home" he said, in a tone of finality, while he had other questions he wanted to see his son and daughter at the hospital, even if the second one wasn't very injured, for a shinobi.

While he could have lied and saying that the forests was one of the off-limits grounds to put her through at least some basic interrogation, even as leader of a military village Minato wasn't the kind of person to use such underhanded methods, he prided himself in not using them.

Also, on the off chance he was wrong about her, he would try not needlessly harming the woman his son seemed to care so much for.

Understanding that the meeting was over and she was being dismissed Arachne got up, bowed at he waist and left. She didn't hold enough cards to go against the Kage, even with her power-ups he was at least as strong as her and the other two in the room would assure the battle went in his favor, not to mention she would've the entirety of the strongest village coming after her if she managed to escape.

She needed her subordinates back so they could help her create a power-base, and Naruto needed to mature into his power so he could serve as her greatest asset. She admitted she liked the boy, even felt some motherly feelings towards him, but in the end he was too valuable as a weapon for her to not use him as such.

As so, she left the room planning for the future.

000000000000000000000000

In a dark room, somewhere within Land of Sound, formally Land of Rice Fields. A woman sat reading the reports of her intelligence network, currently she was reading the reports from Konoha to be more specific.

"Hm, hm, hm, oh" as she was humming, reading to reports of low importance, she stopped as one truly got her interest.

"The Hokage's supposedly failure child fighting using a strange moving scarf, changing his name to Gorgon..." there was silence for a few moments before laughter filled the room, scaring everyone that passed by, when "Orochimaru" laughed it was never a good sign.

"So dear sister did find someone capable of being the vessel for the Kishin's soul, I suppose that arachnid is good for something at least" Medusa said, a cruel smile on her face. The smile stayed for a couple seconds before suddenly turning into a frown.

"The bitch, has the lead again, I have to find a way to get the new Kishin's loyalty, I will find it" she said looking at the small window, at least this time she was the one with a huge organization under her thumb, unfortunately a million pawns are still not worth a God.

But still, she felt the ripple of madness wavelength around 5 years earlier, knowing her sister wouldn't allow the boy to drown in his glorious insanity the vessel should still be unstable and as such vulnerable to influence, so now she only needed the chance to meet the child, another problem considering his parentage, but she would win, she would control the Demon God.

000000000000000000000000

As the Gorgon sisters, planned for control over the young God a new presence appeared in the Elemental Nations.

In a clearing all was quiet, as the place was empty excluding a piece of paper floating in the middle, the floating paper was covered in seemingly senseless drawing, suddenly those senseless drawing started to shine before a flash lightened the clearing.

As the light faded, you could see two figures standing in the previously empty clearing.

The first was a young man with oiled-up and slicked back black hair and dark blue eyes with rings on it and lacking visible pupils he was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with a Peak vest over it and black pants.

The second one was older dark skinned man with silky black hair, he was wearing a plaid military cap, a black opened jacket underneath which was a white tank top and two necklaces of different lengths, on his lower body were black pants held by several belts, on his left hand was a large book.

"Hm, so this is where, is where the Kishin's soul is" the older man said.

"It may have to travel through time and dimensions but I will have it in my collection" he said grinning madly towards the end.

"Let's go Gopher, I want to see what else this world has that it's worth being in my collection" he said walking out of the clearing, a cry of "Hai, Noah-sama" ringing through as the first man followed him. The various creatures on the book stirred with the change of environment.

And so Madness through Knowledge and Madness through Power entered the shinobi world. (7)

000000000000000000000000

In a ruined temple with the once proudly displayed Uzumaki emblem, now in disrepair and almost falling to the ground, sat a large display of masks, the eyes of a mask lightened.

So that's it, a bit shorter than the first chapter, but still a large chapter.

SOMEWHAT IMPORTANT: I may start another story, mostly because when I began this story I had only the end truly planned the rest I am just putting together so I can get to that end, also because after that end I thought of a DxD crossover, so if I manage to finish this story, Kishin Naruto might go to the DxD universe. Spoiler about that story, he will likely be Trihexa.

Explanations

(1) Like with Kid and Black Star when Asura is released

(2)In my fanfiction Excalibur's soul is actually Narcissism, they only called him Madness through Rage because he was so annoying with his Narcissism that he induced that, and it sounded cooler.

(3)The Eight Warlords were left quite mysterious, so I decided to use them, If I managed to get the story to where I want, what the Great Old Ones were will be both important and clearer.

(4)I worked with the assumption that since they were partners, Vajra was the closest thing to a friend Asura had.

(5)No idea her exact age, but the Grim Times were around 800 years before the start of Soul Eater and she was quite active at that time so I also worked under the assumption she was reasonably old 800 years ago, as such more than a thousand years old.

(6)In a world where chakra exists, stories of magic and witches wouldn't make much sense as they could just be manipulating chakra so magic can not become myth and since witches from Soul Eater didn't exist there before it wasn't real as well so nobody ever heard about it.

(7)I didn't want to use Noah, but I needed the Book of Eibon and the Black Mass inside it for future plot.
