Chapter 4

It had been a few months after stealing the Dust Sphere. Naruto and Neo went on more jobs and Naruto had killed a few more, he was still a little unnerved that he didn't feel a thing. He shrugged as he polished the sphere of pure natural dust, they haven't found someone reach enough for it and if no one can afford it then he would just have to use it for something.

He looked down at a photo Roman decided to take a few months back, it was of him and Neo when they fell asleep after the Mason Mansion Raid. Naruto never felt so embarrassed and he knew Neo did as well judging from the same blush he had, he was going to get Roman back for that one.

Speaking about Mason, they went back and did a 'clean up' and by clean up he meant took their shit. Mason's club, the guards weapon, the vests as they were bullet proof vests, and a few things for the safe house to spruce the place up a bit.

However the police couldn't get to the mansion on time as a Goliath, a large elephant type grimm wonder near the mansion which was pretty fair from the town it was in, destroyed it including the underneath vault. They were lucky to get the Dust Sphere before that Goliath wondered in.

Speaking of the Goliath, after it destroyed the mansion leaving nothing in its wake and was deemed a dead zone, it just kept going probably to find its herd, and it was a big Goliath as well. When they had a look at the mansion for themselves there was literally nothing left or anything salvageable. Thank whatever they pray to they got both the sphere and the other gear before that extremely large Goliath.

Then there was that single question, did Naruto hate the grimm? Not really, sure he hated them for the death of his parents when he was younger but he also blamed himself for being unable to save them. He found the grimm to be...beautiful in a way, when left alone they were pretty much like any other animal except they don't kill other animals, just human and faunus.

Mainly there was one grimm Naruto wanted to kill but...he never saw it again, like it disappeared from the world in an instant.

His parents killed by grimm and yet he was fascinated with them, like they were sentient beings but still wanted to take out that one grimm that took their lives. He could remember it, the grimm that killed his parents clearly.

It stared at him before leaving, it left him alive after his parents tried to protect him from it.

Inches away from his face but it left, it didn't finish the job but that didn't stop the other grimm, that was when Roman appeared, saved the young him and shortly buried their bodies in the now dead zone town.

Such beautiful creatures in their own way, they may lack a soul but they are still sentient and that could actually be true, they are just animals trying to survive, kind of like some sort of hive mind in a way actually. However with the death of his parents, he will kill that one grimm one day if he ever encounter it. Just because he was fascinated with how grimm function that didn't mean he wasn't going to kill them.

Maybe after his parents death he changed or due to a lot of exposure to such a large and powerful grimm somewhat warped his mentality and thoughts on life. He had no idea and decided to shake this thoughts away as he continued what he was doing.

...He was really young at the time though...

He shook off the returning thoughts again. Man he was really distracted today.

He sighed as he leaned back on his chair. "Just decide on a colour damn it" He said to the Dust Sphere. When the first grabbed it it was grey then a few days later it was yellow, then red, then green and currently white. The question was why was it changing? Was it just reflecting different lights or was it due to something else? To many questions about this sphere.

"Are you really dust?" He asked it before his head slammed on the top of his desk. It was way too hard for him to figure out, if he had help that would be nice, but if he tried than someone who try to take it for themselves.

Then...what if this thing was some sort of ultra dust? Many variations in one?

Naruto's head slammed against the desk again. After giving his desk undeserved punishment he went and opened up his book he wrote in flipped to the page of the Dust Sphere. He put many details from what he knew and could see and possibly find out in the future, he also put what ifs in it as well, it was new and there was still discoveries to be made about it.

He recorded the colour changes that happened randomly and he also written down possibilities and whatever else he knew. Naruto wondered as he started to write down something else.

"What if this can attract grimm?" He asked himself writing it down. "That Goliath was away from its herd or is it acting more of a barrier and the colour is either based on emotions or what type of day or season?"

After he wrote it down he wrote down it was a possibility but probably unlikely. He then flipped through the pages until he got to his Grimmpedia.

...Yes that's what he called it.

It had information on many grimm as well as a drawing on each one. Ursa, Nevermore, Goliath, etc. Grimm still interested him a little and he put down some more thoughts he had earlier when his mind drifting. The grimm had intelligence, even to know when to wait and when to attack when they grow older much like an animal and a more self proclaimed intelligent species like humans and faunus.

He closed his book and sat it down and sighed. "What's with me today" He said as he got up from his seat. "Eh probably just hungry and tired...as well with all this information I'm putting down"

His thoughts today went from the sphere, mansion, grimm, his parents and now his book. His mind was all over he place, he walked into the kitchen to find some oranges and grabbed a few and walked back but not before making a detour to the fridge. "Hmm ah orange juice" He said with a smile before grabbing a glass and pouring himself a cup.

He walked back into his room and started peeling an orange as he wrote down in the book about the possibility of grimm exposure and influence at a young age and the grimm possibly of such things like bigger and stronger grimm, more ancient and old.

Different grimm had different abilities, so it may be possible but probably unlikely.

As he started to eat a peeled orange his scroll vibrated on the table and the message read. "Hey Naruto, I'll be a bit late today" Naruto read aloud. "It's nothing big, just a quick little job...well it's not quick if I'm late. Well anyways that was it, from your fabulously cool uncle"

Naruto just stared at the text before typing 'Uncool Roman' and pressing the send button before a few seconds later getting the message 'Ouch' followed by 'Haha very funny, good pun' making Naruto smirk.

"I guess I should head into the workshop" He said after he finished his oranges and drank the rest of his orange juice.

Naruto stopped in front of Neo's room and opened the door to reveal a sleeping Neo, she 'said' that she was going for a nap and it seems she's having a nice dream as he closed the door.

I hope the workshop doesn't wake her, unless I don't use those tools" He said.

Once in the workshop he started to work on a the same project as before, it was a very hard project and he made a lot of progress on it. The design, size and a few other things on the outside were already done, it was mainly on the inside like the programming and the functioning, it was currently working but the limit was still unknown and he still had a lot of work to do.

He had a few personal projects and this was one of them. Some personal projects took a few days while others took months like this one. He worked on the project in front of him for a bit before he went and started to work on another, taking up more time.

"Where did I put that dust powder?" Naruto looked around as he lifted looked around. Getting up he made his way to the stolen dust pile in another room, there was quite a lot which would either be kept for them or most of them to be sold at a higher price. "Earth, Fire, Lightning...where's the wind dust?"

The red head dug deeper into the vials of dust. "Don't tell me we have none" Naruto kept searching as he rummaged around the bag. "Ah! There we go!"

"Phew, we still have a few vials" He gave a sigh of relief. "Better inform Uncool Roman about it"

Somewhere Roman felt that he's dear nephew called him uncool again while someone else's pun senses' tingled to the extreme.

Naruto went back to the workshop and started apply the wind dust. "...A bit quiet..." He turned and reached over to turn on what seemed to be a scroll, a holographic tablet that can take either be small or large and the best part was it was collapsible. The small form can be used in one hand while the large form could be used in two hands.

"There we go" He said as he played some music as he went back to work while the scroll shuffled through his collection of songs. "When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher~"

He sang a few words that he knew by heart as he started to apply the wind dust. "Cause I just want something beautiful~" He sang as the song changed.

He stopped after the song when it changed as he felt someone poke his cheek. "Hello Neo" He greeted while turning the scroll's volume down a tad.

Neo continued to poke his cheek, he sighed while choosing to ignore her for now.

The trio flavoured ice scream pouted as he chose to ignore her, she started to put more pressure into her pokes and rammed up the speed.

"Neo...please stop" He pleaded as she continued her poking. "Hey, don't poke harder!"

"Come on, stop it" His pleads were ignored before he sighed. "Is there something the wrong? What do you what?"

Neo stopped her poking before putting her finger on her chin and making it look like she was thinking, her finger started to tap as she looked up at the ceiling.

She then resumed poking him.

"Oh my grimm, please stop" He groaned as two fingers poked him hard in both sides of his face. "Is it because I ignored you? If so then I'm sorry, just please stop"

He looked at Neo who sent him a smirk. "You want me to treat you to ice cream for ignoring you?" Neo nodded as he stood up. "...Don't have that smug victorious smirk..." He sighed as he looked at her, yep she was smirking.

As he made his way to treat her to some ice cream he glanced at the wall, photos of him and Roman throughout the years, a few of his parents, the whole family together, some of just his father, mother, his mother and Roman, father and Roman, him and his father, him and his mother, the three together and the same one but with Roman.

So many different photos, so many distant memories. However now with Neo living with them, there was photos of her on the wall by herself, with Roman, with him and the three of them together, much like the old family photos.

He felt Neo tug on his shirt. "Eh sorry about that Neo, let's get going"

Naruto went and bought some ice cream, a lot of it actually, and headed back to home. It was a good thing his face wasn't known and just the mask, Neo could easily disguise herself if she needed to.

Once the two were home and the ice cream put away except for a big bowl of the stuff as he looked at his Grimm themed wallet. "Okay, I bought you some ice cream" He informed her as he put his wallet away as Neo just sent him a look. "What? You want me to feed you?"

She nodded. Naruto went to stand up but Neo quickly grabbed his arm as she gave him another look. "Fine..." He gave in as he sat back down opposite of Neo, how could he say no to the look she gave him.

...It worked almost nearly every time!

He picked up the spoon as Neo's eyes were locked onto the ice cream fulled spoon. Naruto moved the spoon left, she followed. He gave a small smile as she opened up as he fed her.

Getting another scoop he moved it right and she followed before moving it left. Right. Down. Up. Left. Down. Right. Up. Left. Right. Left. Right. Up. Down. Up. Down. Neo followed it all the way as the same speed as he gradually picked up speed.

He then let her eat it before she sent him a smirk, she played along with him. She knew that he found it cute and judging by the blush he had when he looked away said it all.

As he picked up another spoon full and let Neo eat it, he had a weird feeling he was being watched...and not by Neo.

Weird.

"Good thing uncle isn't here" He said. "He's been getting way too much blackmail lately"

Neo just smiled. "Okay, okay, I know I'm not done yet" He said as he went back to feeding Neo.

Meanwhile Roman was looking at his scroll. "Hmm, nice photos" He said looking at Naruto feeding Neo, he was originally going to be late but it turned out he finished much early than he had anticipated. "I guess I can be a few minutes late" He said as he continued to take photos of the two.

"Hehe" Roman cackled quietly.

It was times like these where it was a good to be alive, he was glad he found Neo that day, that was for sure.

Roman looked down as the two left and he let himself into the kitchen. "At least wash the bowl up" He sighed as he grabbed the bowl. "Leaving me to clean up after them..." He mumbling became harder to here and understand as he started cleaning the bowl.

Roman had a smirk on his face. "I'll show them, I post those photos all over the house!"

Roman's evil revenge laughter echoed through the kitchen. He was going to enjoy every bit of it.

OMAKE

The Puns!

Naruto just sent his uncle the 'Uncool Roman' text message followed by another that said 'See why you are called Uncool Roman?'

'I might be uncool but at least I don't give any PUNishments'

'...'

Somewhere with someone with long blonde hair looked up. "People are talking about puns! Don't stop and Yang in there!"

'...Did you feel like...someone is encouraging our puns?'

'...I do...'

OMAKE

Senses Tingling

Neo stopped whatever she was doing. Somehow she had the feeling that they ran out of ice cream.

Naruto stopped eating his ramen as he was stuck in thought. "It seems like this...doesn't have any miso in it"

"What is this? I get the feeling those pesky kids of mine are getting into trouble somewhere" Roman thought as he cleaned a plate wearing a apron that said 'evil mastermind' on it as well as red gloves. "But that's what they get for being conceited" Roman's scrubbing only increased in speed afterwards, unknown to what Neo and Naruto were doing after their senses went off.

Currently Naruto's Harem consists of Neo (Main girl) and Emerald. If Mercury becomes a girl then he/she will join and possibly Cinder might join as well.

Well we already had a timeskip of a few days to months now, the next timeskip might be a year, one more year closer to canon. This may happen after a few chapters.

I got to say that the votes for Male/Female Mercury are split...at least for now.

I also have to say that if either Male or Female Mercury wins, I got two different ways/paths the story can go down. One for Mercury and another for Fem Mercury, so a possible Naruto Torchwick: Alternative is possible for which ever way the poll falls. Basically two different versions for both male and female Mercury.
