Chapter 2

"Wh-where am I?" the girl asked as she laid under the morning sky. The darkness of the night was slowly being replaced by the vibrant orange light of the rising sun. The clouds suspended on the skies looked like the soft feathers of a free bird.

The girl stood up and noticed she was standing in a clearing in the forest near a stream.

"Oh Aria-san, you woke up" Naruto smiled. She flinched and looked away, trying to avoid eye contact. "Now " he turned serious and stared at her causing to shiver. "Look at me" he demanded with a dark tone. She refused to comply and continued to stare at the dirt beneath her. She was afraid of this man, no this monster.

All she had was gone: her parents, riches, slaves and guards. Everything was taken away from her and for what? Torturing a few cows who had dared to be better than her? Nonetheless, this was all irrelevant as she only had one obstacle until she escaped. It was the blonde sitting there in front of her, giving a glare that could burn holes into her body.

Naruto reached out for her chin. "DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME YOU MONSTER!" she shrieked as she backed away slowly as if he were an animal. Naruto's frown deepened but he continued to approach her despite her desperate attempts to get him to leave her alone. She then was back up to a tree, and she watched as Naruto slowly approached her.

CHOMP!CRACK!

The tree she was against was bitten in half by a giant black wolf. "Hh-huh!?" she stattered as she found herself in a princess carry. "You owe me two, I saved your life twice, " he said, his eyes not leaving the growling monster in front of him. A horrified look appeared on her face and she pushed her face into his chest.

POOF!

"Guard her"

"Right" the clone nodded as she took the girl from the original. "Hh-how did he do that? is this one imperial arms I have heard about?" she looked awestruck and watched as Naruto slowly approached the beast.

Naruto OST Madara's Theme

It was a giant wolf with jet black fur and had blue streaks on it. Its teeth were quite sharp and jugged, making it look like a monster that came out of a horror movie. It had 3 eyes, all of red and one was on its forehead and the eyelids were split vertically on the third eye. It was 3 meters tall.

"Now then, let us see what you got danger beast," Naruto said with a hint of excitement in his voice. As if understanding him, it melted into the shadow of a nearby tree. "Huh?" he tilted his head in confusion.

He jumped onto a nearby tree, dodging a sword protruding from another shadow. "It can make shadow swords... That is so cool! I gotta capture this beast". "Naruto you fool, that is the Inugami danger beast and it has the ability to manipulate shadows! Stay in the light!" Aria's voice echoed.

"I see" He backflipped, dodging another sword. He pulled out a kunai and deflected multiple sharp projectiles being shot from the shadows. Naruto weaved a few hand signs. "Fire Style: Demon Lantern"

Red fiery orbs flew out of Naruto's body and illuminated that part of the forest.

"GROWLLLL!"

Naruto turned to his left. "Oh there you are, I was just thinking about-"

WHAM!

He was sent crashing through the trees. He spat out some leaves and coughed. He then noticed the state his new shirt was in. "Aww man, I just got this" he whined, jumping away evading another blade.

He then moved his kunai to black a large, clawed paw coming from his shadow. "Oh, my shadow too" he muttered blankly. He grabbed it and yanked the giant wolf out and punched it sending it through a few trees. It got and stared at him as if analyzing what he would do next. "I see, so you are intelligent as well huh?".

Instead of answering, it turned into a black bullet and attempted to plunge into him. Simultaneously distorted blades sprouted up, attempting to skewer the blonde but he was having none of it. Naruto disappeared from the spot his standing on and landed an uppercut on it. He then jumped into the air and landed a follow up with a round house.

The wolf yelped as it sailed through the air. "Giant Rasengan" a basketball sized ball of blue energy slammed onto its side causing it to howl in pain. Suddenly the ground, the trees started becoming darker and darker, until nothing could be seen.

The Inugami's third eye glowed ominously as it became one with the shadows. Naruto whistled, impressed by the power. "Not bad, almost the whole forest is covered in darkness," he said in a happy tone.

He looked over to his clone and saw it floating with Aria still in its arms. She looked content as she felt safer off the ground.

Thousands of swords sprouted from the forest floor. "Shit…"

Clang! Clang! Shing!

Sparks flew out of his Kunai met some swords. He leapt over a sword, before catching one and throwing it to the side. He backflipped at incredible speeds evading even more blades. He jerked his body to the right dodging even more. He turned abruptly and made some hand signs "Earth Style: Iron Spear!"

His skin became grey as it became an impervious armour. At this point, the swords kept breaking, reforming then breaking again as they made contact with him. "I need to find it" He reached into his negative sensing power.

"There!"

A great screeching sound was heard throughout the forest. "Wind Style: Mini Rasenshuriken!"

A dome of blue energy appeared on the centre of what was supposed to be the clearing. As soon as it dissipated, the darkness followed revealing the wolf. Naruto pulled out a tanto and some ink and approached the injured monster.

It did not resist anymore, knowing its fate is sealed. "Uzumaki Style: Evil Banishing Seal!".

And it was sucked into the tanto. The seal glowed bright red before it lost colour and blended with the silver colour that was the tanto.

The clone disappeared after lowering the girl to the ground. "Come here" he called. She did as she was told and approaching him with caution. "Do you realize how much pain you have caused?" he asked. "Shut up. They deserved it" she whispered as tears began falling from her eyes. "Why did you do it?" he asked, as he faces got closer to her hers.

She was silent. Naruto watched her closely, ignoring her tears. "My parents were wealthy and taught me that if I am rich I am better than the poor" she whispered as more tears fell on the ground. "WHAT GIVES YOU SHITTY PIECES OF .. OF… SHIT THE RIGHT TO DO THIS ME!" she suddenly shouted, then broke down.

Naruto sighed and looked up to the sky and kept silent. "Just kill me" she whispered as she stared the ground. "No, because I saved you twice, I have the right to do as I wish with you," he said neutrally. "What you will torture me as well!? Use my body to satisfy your lustful urges!?" she began screaming.

"No" he responded. "You know, this is your only chance to repent right?"

She glared at him. "I DID NOTHING WRONG!".

Naruto sighed in exasperation and palmed his face. "What goes around comes around. What you do to others might be done to you. The fact that you were almost killed yesterday proves it. You killed hundreds of people and the night raid came for you to do the same. It is a mystery that you were not tortured" he said as he eyes landed on her.

"You breathing right now is the result of my mercy. So you will shut up and do as you are told" he said darkly. Their eyes met, a pair of cold calculating eyes and another pair of blue tearful eyes. "When you kill someone, their friend's love for them causes them rage and despair. ". She recalled what happened when Tatsumi saw his friends in the state they were in.

"This then causes them to seek vengeance and they kill you which causes your loved ones to do the same, forming an endless cycle of hatred" he explained. "A cycle.. of .. hatred?" she tested the words.

"Yes, a cycle of hatred" he responded, "Humans no matter how small the reason fight each other without ever attempting to understand one's reason for doing something and blindly attack each other." He continued. She stopped crying and looked at him.

He offered his hand to her which she took immediately. "I saved you because I saw that you have the potential to make a difference with. You are young so you will have time" he spoke in a tone full of confidence. He began channelling his chakra.

She saw images of him suffering but somehow staying happy. She also began feeling all the pain he felt when he was tortured by the villagers. He made her feel all the emotions of the deceased people in that shed she had.

"I .. caused this horrible feeling," she asked in horror. "Yes, " he responded, "What you did was unforgivable but you could at least try making other people's lives better" he continued, with a small smile as she had a look of realization.

"But the empire and Night raid will come after me," she said as if she lost all hope. "No one will touch my maid and disciple," he said. "Maid!?" she yelled in horror. He nodded, "someone has to make my ramen, wash my clothes and prepare my bed after all," he said nonchalantly.

She gained the look of someone who was depressed. She began sulking. "So do you accept?" he asked.

She nodded meekly. "But we won't survive them so you better enjoy yourself while this lasts m-m-m-" she spat on the ground and glared at him. Naruto smiled brightly and gestured for her to continue the last word. "Master," she said in disgust.

"Now, now Aria-chan" he crooned as he stroked her hair. "You not need to worry about them. Your master here-" he puffed his chest and he got a glare in response. "-has a forbidden power that can either bring the world to its knees or utterly destroy it, leaving nothing but dust particles in space. So you need not to worry about them" he said.

"I see" she sighed and stood up. "how will you connect everyone's hearts then?"

Naruto smiled. "I will make myself immortal and have everyone ran their emotions through me so that I send to them to everyone else. And answer their prayer if I need too through a technique created by my ancestor. It is called Ninshuu. You and I connected now and you feel everything I feel" he said.

"He is right," she thought as she was bombarded with feelings of happiness, joy and a bit disappointment.

Later

A young man with shoulder-length green hair that covered his left eye, green eyes and red goggles on his head. He wore a long green jacket with a fur-trimmed hood over a white and red ringer shirt and blue jeans with brown shoes ran into the main corridor of the night raid hideout.

"What is wrong Lubbock?" asked a silver-haired woman who was sitting on a chair and had a mechanical right arm.

"Some tripped one of my wires" he stated.

"Get the others" she ordered.

With the blondes

"Got him" Naruto called out. "Very impressive" Aria stated blankly as she watched Naruto wrestle a bear. "Tell me why you are wrestling bear again?" she asked with a neutral tone.

"We are going to eat him" he responded with a wide grin as he punched the bear in the face. It roared, then started running around in circles attempting to smash the human on its back. "Now, now Kuma-kun I have been dying to taste what bear ramen tastes like" he drooled as he got a disturbing expression on his face and stars replaced his eyes.

The bear shivered and began panicking. "Bear ramen, bear ramen" he chanted as his arms wrapped around its next and squeezed. It tried to claw his hands off but to no avail. But luckily for it...

CLING!

"W-what? how did he do that?" she spoke with shock ridding her voice

Naruto was in front of Aria. "W-w-what was that?" she asked nervously, watching the bear run for its life. "A bullet" he responded.

"Go hide, if they find you I will appear by your side" he ordered as he got into a stance. She nodded and ran into the forest, following the direction of the bear. "I know you are there, you may come out now" he called. Naruto faced Myne's direction with a smile and thumbs. "You almost had me there, great job!" he called out.

He jumped over some large scissors and kicked a purple haired woman away. He leaned to the side, avoiding a familiar Katana.

"INCURSIO!"

Naruto caught an armored man's fist with ease and sent him flying to a near by tree. He then found himself in a field of wires. "Ah, the good old days" he recalled with a smile, remembering all the times, he pulled pranks with ninja wire. "But sadly for you, I mastered wind style," he thought.

"Wind Style"

All the wires were cut and he cartwheeled to the side avoiding a blast of energy. A familiar blonde rushed at him. She sent jabs at him and he effortless dodged and parried. She grappled him and attempted to throw him to the distance.

He grabbed her by the wrist and turned his body to land on hers, forcing a piggyback.

"It has been awhile one-chan" he said with a small smile. "Yes it has been a long 12 hours" she responded with a smile. "So whatcha doing here?" she asked. He jumped off her back in time to over being sliced in half by some giant scissors.

"Oh ya know, hunting a bear. That stupid thing made us run for like 30 kilometres" he responded with a shrug. "You know this person Leone," said the purple haired woman in a Qipao dress. "Yup, he is the one who made us fail the mission" she responded.

Naruto turned, backflipped and hopped around at high speed evading a bunch of energy shots. "Will you stop trying to-"

He ducked under a sword.

"-kill me?" he pleaded. The purple haired woman stood up and glared it. "Sheele, be careful! That boy was able to overpower Akame without trying to kill her." Yelled the girl with large breasts. "I will Leone" Sheele responded.

She turned to Naruto. "I will not allow you to hurt us you bastard! We will kill you and that monster you are protecting". With that she charged at him, swinging at his midsection. Naruto felt another presence behind. He pulled out another kunai.

CLANG! CLANG!

He blocked two jabs from a spear. He rolled away just in time to avoid Sheele's scissors. The armoured man charged once more and thrust his spear at Naruto. He jumped and landed on its tip. "W-W-WHAT?" thought the armoured man. Naruto then proceeded to kick the living hell out of him before, hitting him with a chakra enhanced punch. "That armour is really durable and the user is quite fast too" he observed. From the corner of his eye, he saw purple.

He caught Sheele's wrist and slammed his foot into Akame's gut before punching Sheele. Leone attempted to drop kick him. He shifted to his left and sent drove his knee into her exposed belly.

GAH! She spat out blood. He sent her into a nearby tree with a palm strike.

"NARUTO!"

He sighed in annoyance and caught Tatsumi's wrist. "Sup" he smiled. Tatsumi looked crazed and was thirsting for blood. "Where is she!" he asked.

"Over there" Naruto pointed behind a bush which shook a bit. "Now, now Tatsumi, I am your opponent." He said with a smile. "Eliminate"

He was nicked. Naruto grunted in pain as black kanjis for death crawled up his skin. Mine smiled in triumph, Sheele sighed in relief and Tatsumi grinned darkly. "We won! Let's go find that bitch" Tatsumi said. He rushed towards the bush with his sword drawn. "is this the end? If it is, then Naruto lied to me"

CLANG!

Naruto was once again in his way. "You should be dead!" Tatsumi roared. The orange pigments on his skin were slowly fading away. "That is what they all say" he responded neutrally. Myne, Sheele, Tatsumi, Lubbock, the armoured man and Akame especially Akame stared in shock. Naruto's mouth twitches upwards, "Not bad. That poison isn't strong enough to kill me though" he chuckled.

"How are you alive," she asked shakingly. He merely shrugs. "Hey Tatsumi"

"W-w-w-what is it?" he responded with a shaking tone. He was so blinded by his rage that he forgot they were fighting a man who killed an earth dragon with a single casual kick. He was playing with them and he knew it.

Naruto steps back and pulls out the tanto from his pouch. "I call it Canis Lykaon" Naruto said as Tatsumi grasped it. The sword was absorbed into his body and he roared in pain. "TATSUMI!" His teammates roared.

They all charged at him in panic and he jumped over them and landed where they were standing earlier. "This should even things out," Naruto said with a smirk. Tatsumi rose as wisps of black energy were flowing out of his body. A small black puppy with a sword coming from its jumped out of his shadow.

They stared in shock. "A biological teigu?" thought Akame. Naruto threw a hail of kunai and shuriken at them.

Akame and Sheele began deflecting the projectiles. Tatsumi looked at the puppy which seemed to be awaiting his orders. "Get him," he said.

The puppy melted into his shadow and came out of Naruto and attempted to bite him. He leened to the sides as he was relentlessly attacked. Akame joined in and began slashing at Naruto.

He laughed in joy. "Yes, that is how I love it"

He weaved two hand signs. "Wind Style: Breakthrough"

They were sent flying back. Myne began shooting at him as the armoured man disappeared. She stopped shooting and watched as Leone engaged his in hand to combat. Naruto jumped back to avoid the scissors, and kick her back, again.

Akame got to her knee and nicked herself. The puppy transformed into a sword and thrust itself at Naruto. He caught it and threw it to a tree. "What is Akame-san doing, and where is that armoured guy?"

He jumped over a spear. "Oh there you are," he said neutrally.

He leaned back, a katana missing his hair by millimeter ."Oh now, you look scary" he said as he leaned to the side, back and to the right. Akame's eyes had become blood red and she got orange marking on her skin. Her scelera became black giving her a giest like appearance."Eliminate" she said as thrust her katana.

Naruto grabbed it, causing him to bleed and punched her in the face.

"That's enough" called an unfamiliar voice. Everyone stopped including Naruto. His skin once again riddled with cursed marks. They slowly disappeared like earlier.

A silver-haired woman revealed herself. "If Kakashi was female," he thought blankly. "A good day to you" she greeted. Naruto smiled, "Good day" he responded. She approached him, "boss, be careful, he is incredibly dangerous," said Tatsumi. She raised her hand to silence him.

"You could have killed them all," she said. "Maybe" he responded in a sing-song voice. She bowed, "Thank you"

"You are welcome, they merely wanted to kill me to protect each other so it's fine" he responded. She nodded and looked him in the eye. "Tell me, what is a warrior like yourself doing here?" she asked.

"My maid and I were hunting a bear so we ran in this direction by chance" he responded ."So you guys are night raid ?"

She began sweating slightly. She stayed silent for a bit before she nodded slowly. "Yes," she finally responded.

"What is your goal" he became serious and added a bit of KI. She flinched and began picking her answers carefully. The others were frozen by the dark aura.

Akame dropped her sword, Tatsumi fainted causing the puppy to stand by him though avoiding Naruto for obvious reasons, Lubbock was sweating, Sheele was shivering along with Leone and Bulat.

She gulped and opened her mouth but the words would not come out. "Well?" his voice deepened. "W-w-we rid, the world of scum who, who, who make life a living hell f-for o-o-other-r-r people. Y-your girlfriend is no exception"

"I AM NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!"

Naruto chuckled, and the pressure disappeared. "I see." He responded, "Perhaps I should join you. But I hate the killing part" he said but then he sighed. "Perhaps you should" she saw the opportunity to turn the tides of the war. "Esdeath won't be as worry some with him here"

"Okay I'll join," he said with her smile.

They all sighed in relief. "Aria let's go"

"Yes m-m-m"

"Master" he helped

"master" she spat out. Naruto blushed and began dancing in joy causing everyone else to sweatdrop.

Naruto approached Akame who collapsed as the cursed marks disappeared from her body.

END

After thinking about it, Bulat is more likely to survive when Naruto is present. Meaning that he will keep incursion. I gave Tatsumi, the Canis Lykaon and I feel like it is a suitable replacement for the incursion armour.

Also Naruto will not join night raid officially. He will be their security of sorts. Also Aria is safe from Tatsumi as long Naruto is around, we all know Tatsumi isn't dumb enough to attack him.

Aria will be a type of Grayfia to Naruto
