Rias watched as the SKU Naruto was petting Queen gently as he wrote something down and she bowed kindly at her, he looked at King before he nodded. "Thanks," She said, sitting down as King moved. "Something happened, Queen is going to take a nap. Mind going on the next chapter?"

The Peerage looked at each other but nodded, Akeno took the tablet from Issei before speaking out for the next chapter...

"I have to find... anything... I barely have 10 minutes left worth of energy." Saber spoke as she held her sword at her side, just in case she had been followed across the water. She had her face covered up now, she had taken a jacket that somebody had hung up to dry outside their home, and used it to cover her features, while she used a stolen blanket to wrap around Naruto. "If only I had more time with you... to find you a home." Saber shook her head of the thoughts that she had been thinking.

The Peerage pain and sadness for the baby resurfaced fast, Akeno took a moment to collect her thoughts before moving on watching the screen as she knew what to say.

With Kushina gone, she had no more place in this world, her bond with her Master had been all that had been keeping her rooted in the world of the living. Even now, her physical body was starting to glow in some parts, showing she her living body was returning to it's spiritual form.

"It seems that Servants with a high enough bond or connection to their masters can stay a bit longer when they…" Rias didn't finish her words as it was too much for her to say. She saw death but for something this sad to happen to a child was a bit hard to speak about it.

Saber grit her teeth, before dismissing her sword and rushing into the nearest Convenience Store, sneaking into it when the store clerk wasn't paying attention to her. Sneaking her way into the office supply section, she grabbed an envelope and a pen, before stealing... borrowing some paper. Rushing into the bathroom, since she didn't have much time left, she gently placed Naruto in the sink and started to write down her thoughts.

"...She isn't…" Kiba said in slight amazement of what the Saber servant was going to do. But it might've been the only choice sadly...

Dear Naruto Uzumaki,

I pray when you read this one day, if you do read this, you'll become a fine man. There is a lot that I want to tell you, and I regret that I wasn't able to stop your mother's death. She sacrificed her final moments so that you would survive, and I just want you to know that she died with nothing but her love for you in her heart. I know she died happy, knowing she brought you into this world, and gave you the legacy her teacher gave to her. I can only pray that I will be the one that you speak with one day, but I understand that likely won't happen.

You carry on your shoulders a great burden.

You are the last of your people, but be strong, like the Maelstrom I named you after. You'll face great challenges in your life, but just know that the love your mother had for you will always be in your heart. You have a duty to her and your people to survive, become stronger and stronger, until you can avenge your people. Your mother gave you a present as she died, but I have nothing I can offer you but these words.

You are Naruto Uzumaki.

Son of Maelstroms.

All had different reactions to that letter, Rias and Koneko tried to keep a brave face as they only let out small trails of tears. Kiba lowered his head to pray for the young child for his life to have at least some solace in it, Issei was holding a crying Asia from the beautiful words from the letter, and Akeno just bit her lower lip in slight pain from the words she read.

Saber didn't sign her name to the paper, just sealed it up in the envelop, put Naruto's name on it, and put the instructions for only Naruto to open it up. She didn't know if anyone would open it before Naruto, so she didn't want to put any private or personal information like her own name or Kushina's name in it. She tucked it into the blanket, and took the jacket off as her left arm completely faded away, showing her time was almost up.

"It would be the only good thing if no one opens it at all…" Kiba muttered as he hoped that there was some kind of universal justice in this world.

Naruto opened his eyes, and Saber looked into them.

"... You have neither your mother's grey eyes... or your father's green ones... but you're hair is just as golden as a main of a noble lion... no, like the sun itself." Saber spoke as she looked at the small tuff of hair on his head. Running a hand through her own blonde hair, she winced when she realized that Naruto wasn't crying, and she didn't know when somebody was going to come into the bathroom to find him.

…

…

…

"I'm sorry did she say father?" Issei said ignoring the snickering King and now Queen, at this sudden news.

"..." They all turn to King, comically red and mouth shut as his cheeks were big and bloated with air desperately wanting to leave his mouth. He nodded as they now realized...Saber was Naruto's dad.

Naruto is the son of King Frickin Arthur!

"Does that mean he is King of England now?" Issei chuckled only to give an awkward pause in that...does it?

"Wait...how...is she...you know-" Kiba blushed as he tried to keep his mouth from saying-

"Futanari/Futa/Futanari?" Akeno, Issei, and Rias said together although all look at each other for their same timing. They once again looked at King before he smiled, he pointed at the tablet clearly meaning they had to read to find out.

She didn't have enough time to take him to a new home.

Shattering the glass in the bathroom mirror, and glass rained down everywhere. She winced in pain when she saw shards of glass cut into Naruto's face, marking his cheeks. With baby Naruto starting to cry, and the loud sound of shattering glass being no doubt heard by somebody outside the bathroom, Saber's job was finished... to the best of what she could do within the time granted to her.

The peerage eyes widened as Naruto's face was now scared due to the shards slicing his face. But what hurt them more was the sad look Saber had as her body started to fade altogether…

She faded away completely.

Just as the bathroom door opened up.

"Who is breaking glass in... oh my god it's a baby, and it's hurt!" A young adult woman, bright pink hair in twin tail fashion, no doubt in her later teens, shouted as she rushed into the bathroom. She looked and saw the bleeding baby, whipping her phone out instantly so that she could call an ambulance just to make sure the baby was alright. "Come here you... are you hurt anywhere, oh Naruto Uzumaki is an interesting name, else?" She asked mostly herself as her scatterbrain kicked in for a moment when she saw the baby's name.

"I swear I've seen her before…" Koneko said with a title in her head, as Issei and Rias knew it was one of the girls in his anime alarm clock...it was really REALLY odd to see her as a living person.

She could have sworn she saw somebody go into the bathroom, then again she never paid attention to what was going on in the store as she did her job.

"Hello, what is your emerg-"

"I found an abandoned baby in the bathroom, and it... he is bleeding. I need somebody to come fast to make sure he's okay." The girl interrupted the operator, and she quickly gave them the address of the convenience store. Holding the baby in her arms, she put the phone between her shoulder and neck, balancing it perfectly.

"Maybe things are looking up for Naruto…" Asia said hoping that this lady would adopt him.

-Later-

"Momo Momozono... you wouldn't have happened to see the mother or father of this baby, would you?"

"I saw somebody with a hood on go into the bathroom out of the corner of my eye, but I didn't see anyone leave... I heard glass shattering and a baby crying and rushed to see what was going on... and I found him." Momo spoke as she looked down through the window at Naruto, who had been placed with all the other newborns at the hospital. Once she had gotten to the hospital, she had been pulled aside by the police, who started to ask her the typical questions. "Do you know who his family is?"

"It would be hard to figure out how the person left they couldn't leave a room without escape...for human standards." Akeno deduced her reasoning for Asia and Issei who probably wonder how the human's who didn't know the supernatural would be so easily confused.

...

"He has no family we know of, we're actually curious if you know anything about him more. We were sent distress calls hours ago by the Uzumaki family on their clan island." The police officer didn't mention the fact that when the officers dispatched got there, hundreds were found dead, murdered rather horribly. They were going to be cleaning up the island, but a baby Uzumaki being found in the bathroom the same night as the entire Uzumaki clan had been murdered... it was suspicious to say the least.

"H-Hundreds…" Rias muttered, if Kushina was someone from a clan with amazing powers...how could hundreds be slaughtered in such a few hours? Her eyes widened at a few certain possibilities, one being something she hoped it wasn't true.

"Distress-"

"My partner shouldn't have spoke, it's classified information, we can't say more. As the one who found the infant, before we send him to an orphanage, we would like to know if you would be willing to adopt him. The doctor's have informed us it seems he was born just today." The officer spoke as he gave her the offer.

"Somethings not right…" Kiba said with a hard look in his eyes, "Why would that be classified? I understand if it was near their city, but on a clan island with most, if not all, the members dying didn't seem to be something to be kept under wraps."

"Maybe someone knows the supernatural and tries to keep from being exposed?" Issei offered as Rias nodded to his logic.

"We do keep some humans on retainer to help limit certain places from being exposed, even the Angels and Fallen Angels have to do this as well or all hell would break loose. Uh, figuratively speaking." But she stopped before telling Akeno to halt on her reading. "Let's think for a second...isn't it possible that the Uzumaki were poisoned or there were some other conditions that would have made them weaker when they fought?"

"No, most Uzumaki's are highly resilient to poisons, conditions in their land is nearly impossible." King declared as the rest soon wonder now...

"How can a clan be wiped out?" Rias mumbled as the original pure families were slaughter in the war, but for a whole clan...and why?

"Mito said the Uzumaki weren't famous, but maybe working with Azazel actually ended up dooming them, because of the added fame." Kiba stated as Rias nodded to that.

Akeno also agree to that theory, most races would have a huge grudge with one human being allied with one major faction, and would take drastic measures to ensure they wouldn't gain more power. But...

The thought came to the Devils who were more experience than Issei and Asia, who would have known Mito were friends with Azazel?

She bit her lip nervously.

"I just..."

"We understand if you can't."

Asia lowered her head, it was something that she was hoping but it sadly didn't come true. But maybe he will be friends with others in the orphanage...

"... I'm sorry, I'm not ready to be a parent." Momo spoke as she bowed to the officer, knowing that she was dooming the child to an orphanage. She wasn't a parent, and wasn't ready to be one. Finding the baby had been all she did, and finding a baby alone wasn't enough to give her the maternal feelings of the one who birthed it.

"In a sense it might be a good thing," Rias nodded, one could take the child but she could come to hate it for taking her life away to raise it at such a young age (to a devil at least). Sometimes the moral thing was the best thing to do, and the hard choice was often the right one...

Not to mention... he was blond, with blue eyes... and peach skin.

He just looked so... foreign that she could tell he was going to get judged a lot for his appearance as he aged. She didn't know if she was ready to be a mother to a son that might turn into a delinquent because of how much he was bullied. She wasn't ready to deal with any of that either, not just being a parent, but being a parent to such a... foreign looking child would make people add judgements onto her as well. She was already judged a lot for dying her hair pink, when most people had black or brown hair.

Rias once again agreed with her head bobbing along with her thoughts, she was beautiful, exotic and most of all had status. That nullified most prejudice for men and some to women, being kind and helpful also made the rest trust her. But it took years to build that for her, Sona looked like most Japanese students so they weren't afraid of her. It was lot just to fit in a country that is xenophobic as Japan is...

She hoped he found a good home one day though.

-1 Year Later-

"I'm sorry... but he's got scars on his face, and his looks... he just doesn't seem like a normal Japanese child... and his last name is Uzumaki, like that family that was murdered years ago. That's bad luck."

"No…" Rias said as her fears came true...they judge him simply on his looks but way worse than she ever got. Even his family clan's death was just as bad, as Japan also believed in superstitions often too much as well as their fear of outsiders.

The caretaker sighed in understanding as she failed to get another set of parents to adopt the young boy that had been left in the care of the orphanage.

"They reject a baby for those reasons?" Kiba gritted his teeth as he would have taken in Naruto if he could...but they couldn't have known what happened.

-1 Year Later-

"Look at him... what would it look like on us if we had a son like him?"

The caretaker was forced to nod and smile, understanding why they were chosing to adopt a different child instead of the one that had once more gone a year into being without a family.

"...Dicks…" Issei clenched his fist at the rude tone, his parents made fun of him, but they always believed in him even when he was a big pervert to them. They would have taken in Naruto unlike this bastard and his bitch of a wife.

-1 Year Later-

"I'm sorry, but we would like to adopt another child, not one that looks like he came overseas, and I would appreciate if you didn't try and force him onto us."

The caretaker looked around, and saw the other children were listening in on the conversation, like they always did, and sending Naruto strange looks as he looked saddened by the news he wasn't going to be adopted. She felt sorry for the child, but she couldn't show him any better treatment than any other child, even if he was one of the ones that often went completely ignored by most adopting couples that visited.

Asia only gave a quick prayer, then nursed her head, when Naruto's painful look hurt her heart. How could adults say such things in front of children?

-1 Year Later-

"Look, he's not playing with the other children, with that attitude and his looks, he's going to be a delinquent when he gets older. We would rather have a child who will grow into a proper person one day."

The caretaker didn't mention that the other children were the ones who, after learning from the many, many, couples who chose other children instead of Naruto, ignored Naruto and didn't let him join them when doing anything. She didn't mention the fact that Naruto was perhaps one of their most friendly children, but he had a bad look on his face because of his scars, and the fact that he was always being treated... lesser than those around him.

Koneko glared at the next pair of parents, she understood being judged by association but never outright prejudice on looks. Naruto was the one being bullied by those kids by alienation...she wished she could knock their blocks off.

-1 Year Later-

"He got into a fight with another child, a child like that won't grow up to be a good person, even with parents as great as us. Do you have any other suggestions?"

The caretaker had to agree with the future parents, Naruto had been getting into more fights with other children as of late. She understood why they didn't want to adopt him, even though she was suggesting that they do. Heck, she herself had been becoming more distant to the boy since his attitude started to change. She didn't see what the other child said to him, but now he was starting to show a lot of anger towards the couples that started to visit the orphanage.

Akeno loved people in pain but...this was just plain cruel to read/watch to a child. His friendly aura was now a dark and violent one that anyone could plainly see. It was because of children inheriting their prejudice for Naruto…

Inheritance...something that only added fuel to what she hated herself...the priestess only wish she can tell Naruto anything for comfort.

He didn't smile anymore either, not that she could see anyway.

-Years Later-

Naruto spat on the ground as he rubbed the blood from his nose, having just gotten into a fight with some people who picked on him for his hair.

"It's that boy... Uzumaki... looks like he got into another fight. Why don't they just throw him into jail already? I know he is underaged, but that is where he belongs."

"Shush, if he hears you, he might attack us too."

Naruto looked at the two women who were talking about him, and they yelped when they saw that and started to actually run in the other direction. Naruto frowned, and turned his head, putting his hands in his pockets and walked away. His stomach growling, he pulled out his wallet to see how much of his money he had left. Seeing barely anything, he changed directions and started to head towads the nearest river, knowing that he would need to go fishing if he wanted to eat anything tonight.

"He has to work to eat…that's messed up man…" Issei said feeling guilty that he has food from his parents to eat every night while someone like Naruto was...was just working hard to get something.

"Did you see that, he just threatened those women."

"Delinquents like him should just die already, don't they know they're just making everyone else uncomfortable?"

"The hell?" The white haired girl said in astonishment, "They saw he just looked at them, yes he was angry but it wasn't at them!"

Rias could understand the dumbfounded reaction for that reason that humans had, but again they all have mob mentality in certain people.

'I didn't even say anything to them...' Naruto thought as he walked faster, not wanting to get arrested for attacking somebody who hadn't attacked him first. He would feel better when he had some more money, and could get his favorite comfort food. Naruto didn't let the comments go without a reaction though, Naruto stuck his middle finger up at the couple who whispered about him. He hurried up anyway though, instead of saying anything.

If he didn't catch anything before nightfall, he would be going hungry again.

"..." The peerage once again gain a sour and somber mood around them, how could fate do that to a child so many times? He was something like Kushina, someone kind and honest even for a few lines of dialogue...but her son, someone who was King Arthur's son. Was now something that people expected had become.

Rias closed her eyes as her hands rubbed on them, trying not to show tears and cover it as her just brushing away tiredness. She turned to King with a stern look, "Are you… can you tell if it gets better for him soon?"

The King didn't speak but gave a small smile, "Not soon, but he will…" He declared as the woman took it as her prize...if she has to see more pain for him to be happy. They said it was okay… "I want to talk to your superior...I want to talk about-" She leaned into whispering for the King to nod.

"Got it, I will talk about it with the big man, anything else?" he asked, surprised Rias nodding.

"I want a list on the servants Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki had-" "Nope, gotta figure it out yourself." "Fine." Rias huffed in a angry pout, "But-"

King nodded, "I will tell you if you're right or wrong." She took it well as Queen stood up, eyes now more happy than her low mood from earlier.

"Alright choose." He said pointing to the sheets that SKU left for them. "Your servant…"

She nodded and went to the taller figure as she pulled the fabric off the Servant… "You're…"

"I have come at your request ma'am."
