Author: Welcome to my rewrite, notes will be at the bottom as Igor will join me in this.

Igor: Yes, I have returned... reluctantly.

Author: Don't worry Igor, this story will be much more enjoyable than the original idea.

Igor: You better have improved since you've neglected your story more than Naruto has been neglected in those neglected stories.

Author: I will finish this story long nose.

Igor: You better.

Author: You guys remember the pairings, I still refuse to believe this is a harem, but I just love the idea of putting Igor's cute girls with our little fishcake.

Igor: You will be doing the modification of Lavenza right?

Author: I saw another story that at one point, had Naruto flirting with Moegi which was worse than flirting with Hanabi. I just draw the line there. Sorry everyone, but unlike Nakaba, I don't like loli pairings so Lavenza is going to be modified later in the story.

Chapter 1 - Awakening and Betrayal

*butterfly changes the scene*

Konohagakure no Sato, Village hidden in the leaves, 5 years after the fox attack

We find young Naruto in his filthy apartment given by his grandfather figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Young Naruto is sleeping in his lumpy bed tossing and turning and starts to breathing heavily. What no one realizes that he is in the middle of a dream that will change his life for the better.

Naruto soon finds himself flying through a strange endless black void while finding himself maneuvering away from miscellaneous objects flying towards him. As he flies through the endless void he finds himself landing on a gazebo with a checkered floor surrounded by marble pillars. He looks around to search his surroundings until he hears a booming voice behind him.

"Greetings young one, I find your trip interesting eh?" said the loud voice.

Naruto quickly turns around to find a strange man with a mask covering his entire face along with a white suit and long black ponytail. Naruto is scared by the strangely dressed man slowly moves away from the stranger.

The turns his head in curiosity, "It's best to introduce ourselves, My name is Philemon, I live in a realm of consciousness and unconsciousness, so tell me... who are you?" ask the man now introduced Philemon.

"My-my name is N-Naruto Uzumaki sir." Said Naruto with a hint of Nervousness in his voice.

"Well then Naruto before we move one I would like you answer some important questions, if you do not mind my asking?" Asked Philemon.

"Sure what are they?" Asked Naruto curiously.

"Young Naruto Uzumaki, what is it that you wish for in life?"

Naruto thought about it and remembered the one thing he always wanted, "I want to become Hokage so everyone can accept me, believe it!" He answered in a prideful tone.

Nodding his head, Philemon continues, "Yes now why do you wish to become hokage? It's an important and high ranking position is it not?" He asked.

Naruto yet again answered with happiness in his voice, "By becoming the best ninja there is, even better than the fourth hokage and Sarutobi Jiji!"

Philemon held in his chuckle, "Now Naruto, being a ninja means fighting right?"

"Of course Philemon-San!"

"Yes but when the time comes, why do you fight?"

"To become hokage, believe it!"

"Yes I believe it but I meant why drives you to be hokage? Fame? Fortune? Egotism?"

Naruto became confused, he always thought about becoming hokage but now the man made his dream seem selfish and pointless.

"Now Naruto I'm not saying you shouldn't become hokage but I want to know... what is it that drives you, what do you need to do be a good ninja? Better yet, the best ninja?" Philemon asked giving Naruto a better understating.

"I know now, to fight for others, to fight for what you believe in, to fight for those who can't fight for themselves and those who matter to you like... like...?" Naruto was lost at this point.

"Like someone close or precious to you maybe?"

"Yeah to protect my precious people! And soon people will accept me and I'll have more precious people to fight for!" Said Naruto who soon began to awaken to his epiphany.

Philemon smiled behind his mask and placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Splendid, not many can come here as pure of heart as you young Naruto. You have passed the first test now then, by the way have you noticed that you have more than one you in yourself? Perhaps the merciful you, the graceful angel you or the demonic cruel you. We live behind many masks, you may be wearing one now, but you claimed your name, not only that but you have shown me your pure heart and we're given a new drive to achieve your dreams. I admire your will and bestow my power onto you!" Philemon explained as he summoned what appeared to be a strange statue made of crystal on the palm of his hand.

"What is it Philemon-San and how is it your power?" Asked an excited yet curious Naruto.

"This is a Persona, the power to call on others within you, sometimes merciful... sometimes cruel. This power will help you in your quest into the future. You will awaken to it when the time is right or most dire. Go back to your world now young one. The world locked between time and space." Philemon said as he gave the statue to Naruto and created a door out of nowhere.

Naruto smiled at the statue and waved goodbye. Although this would not be the last time he would see Philemon, at least not until it was time to leave the leaf village... for good.

8 years later, 13 years after fox attack

As time went on, Philemon had to erase Naruto's memory of his realm until the time for him to awaken to his power. Philemon believed that Naruto would be some of the few in the past who would risk everything to fight for their cause. Since Naoya Toudou up to Ren Amamiya, there have been few who had this power and fought along with their friends for what they believed was right. Now we have Naruto Uzumaki, or as the hokage had been untruthful, Naruto Namikaze.

Yes Philemon has not only been watching young Naruto but other people around the village as well. How else did he know about the hokage's level of importance among the villagers? Since Philemon is not what some describe as "human" he did not have chakra nor did he fear the idea of being spotted by the Anbu or any other ninja around the village. Especially when he watches over Naruto in his butterfly form.

Over the years he saw Naruto face hardships throughout his life such as seclusion, lack of teaching during the academy and even constant scolding from his peers. It was not a pretty sight but over the years Naruto overcame these obstacles and would show greatness despite what others say. He saved his teacher, Iruka Umino, and defeated Mizuki before stealing the Forbidden scroll.

He survived the bell test along with D-rank missions, Philemon however contemplated the fact that these people were to lazy to handle their own chores. Why is it a Ninja's business, nay a Ninja's duty and requirement to complete ordinary tasks that civilians refuse to do on their own? So catching a cat, walking dogs and gardening is required to be completed before doing something meaningful like protecting someone from being robbed by highwaymen? These questions would forever roam never be answered by Philemon's centuries of knowledge of the human race.

Then came the day when the mission to Wave country came, Naruto would soon be remembered as hero for inspiring a poor town to rise up against Gato, a greedy criminal, from terrorizing them any further. He held is own against Haku, Zabuza's apprentice who reminded Naruto the meaning of fighting for those who are precious to you. Eventually Naruto got through to Zabuza before he passed away as he killed Gato along with several of his hired bandits. The Great Naruto Bridge was finished a week later.

Afterwards the Chunin exams came, Naruto along with his teammates Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha survived a strange written test meant to scare them from passing. Then a man named Orochimaru, an S-Class missing nin, attacked the trio and gave his curse mark to Sasuke to convince him to seek out Orochimaru for the sake of power. Naruto soon defeated Kiba Inuzuka in the preliminaries and was to soon face Neji Hyūga who nearly killed his cousin Hinata for being a main branch member and blaming her for his father's death. Kakashi Hatake, Naruto's Sensei refused to train Naruto forsaking him by playing favorites with his other student Sasuke. Naruto was later trained by Jiraiya the Toad Sage until his finals came up, not that he was taught much other than summoning and chakra control.

The finals came and Naruto tapped into the fox's chakra to defeat Neji and convinced him why his views on fate were wrong and why Hinata was innocent. Soon after Gaara of the Sand, a Genin from the sand village, tapped into his one tailed beast form, Shukaku. Sasuke and Sakura were unable to defeat Gaara but Naruto summons Gamabunta, the boss toad summon, and was able to snap Gaara out of his tailed beast form. In the end, he taught Gaara about how they are the same and what Gaara was doing is wrong. Philemon could almost shed a tear at how much Naruto had matured since that meeting. However thing became grin when Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third hokage died in his battle against his former student, Orochimaru.

That day Naruto noticed the butterfly on his shoulder and soon smiled for some reason he didn't understand.

Soon enough Jiraiya took Naruto on a trip with him to find his old teammate, Tsunade Senju, so she could become the fifth hokage. Along the trip, Jiraiya had begun to teach Naruto the fourth hokage's signature Jutsu, the Rasengan, a rotating sphere of chakra. Although, Jiraiya would give the bare minimal of help when it came to helping Naruto understand this technique. While the self acclaimed "Super Pervert" spent his time and "his" money on women and alcohol.

This however made things worse when he abandoned Naruto who was almost captured by Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha, members of a group composed of S-rank missing nin. The Akatsuki as they were called, tried to capture Naruto for his tailed beast. At least in the end, Jiraiya made it back just in time to scare away the duo from taking Naruto.

By the time the master and student arrived in Tanzaku town, they managed to find Tsunade and her apprentice Shizune who for some strange reason was carrying around a pig in a dress. Long story short, Tsunade refused to return and refused to become hokage calling it a "fool's" job, got into a fight with Naruto, mocked him, made a bet, Shizune told a sob story about her uncle Dan who was Tsunade's lover and Nawaki Senju who was her brother that died wanting to become hokage. Naruto waves it off until the bet's deadline came and it turns out that Tsunade poisoned Jiraiya's chakra coils and knocked out Shizune to meet up with Orochimaru.

Another summary, Tsunade is afraid of blood and that almost got her killed, but Naruto saved her by using a Rasengan on Kabuto, knocking him out. Jiraiya summons Gamabunta to fight Manda while he takes on Orochimaru who flees away. Tsunade admires Naruto for reminding her of her lover and brother and returns to the leaf to becomes the fifth hokage.

In the next couple of months, Naruto saves the people of the hidden waterfall village and helps Shibuki become a proper leader. Afterwards he saved the land of Snow from Doto Kazehana's tyranny and inspires Koyuki Kazahana to become the new Daimyo of what is now called, The Land of Spring. Soon enough people in tea country cheered as Naruto helped Idate Morino cross the finish line in the annual race and free the people from tyrannical mobsters. Although in the end, the only person seething was none other than the so called elite, Sasuke Uchiha.

After a brief scuffle with his teammate, Sasuke abandons Konoha for the sake of gaining power to not only kill his brother Itachi, but to be stronger than the dead last, Naruto Uzumaki.

Thus causing Tsunade to sent Shikamaru Nara, the only Chunin in his graduating class, to lead a Genin team to retrieve Sasuke against a group of five elite agents from Otogakure. Neji Hyuga and Choji Akimichi were heavily wounded, Kiba Inuzuka wasn't as bad as his Ninken, Akamaru but was saved by Kankuro from Suna. Temari also saved Shikamaru who wasn't injured aside from broken fingers. Finally there was Gaara who teamed up with Rock Lee who happened to show up and defeat a strange swordsman named Kimimaro Kaguya.

As for Sasuke, he and Naruto clashed over and over, with Sasuke relying on his curse mark level 2 while Naruto entered his first tail of his chakra cloak. Regardless of who won, only one would be heavily battered.

"RASENGAN!"

"CHIDORI!"

"SASUKE!"

"NARUTO!"

Those watching would only notice the bright light created by both jutsu's. Even one who disguise himself as a butterfly as this battle raged on.

Several hours later

Philemon appeared in an infinite space where there only sat a man laying his chin on top of his hands. This man was bald with white hair hanging on the back of his head with two large eyebrows and a distinguishable long nose. He wore a black suit with a bowloe like tie and white gloves. Despite his evil looking appearance one would believe seeing his unchanging smirk, he was nothing more than a servant to Philemon.

"Master Philemon, what brings you to my space? As you can see I have not set a contract with anyone just yet." said the long nosed man.

"Igor, it's been a long time old friend. After looking over humanity myself, I have found someone for you to create another contract with in another timeline. Unlike the modern day of Japan, we are heading to a world of ninjas and samurai where a child with great power will rise up and grow strong." Philemon explained getting a nod.

"Another contract to be completed within a year I assume?" Igor asked pulling out a document and stamp.

Philemon put his hand on his chin, "No, a year is too little."

"Pardon me?" Philemon asked.

"This one is different as his goals will make a greater impact than the previous persona users. He will be the balance between life and death, good and evil, up and down. I request you summon all of your servants as this task will much more difficult than it previously has been before." Philemon explained.

"Very well, do you have a way for me to see young..."

"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze is his full name."

"Well then do you have a way for me to see the life of young Naruto? Trisha came in with a weird hairstyle and took the television to torture poor Vincent again."

"I have this crystal ball which you could use." he said placing it down and connecting an antenna to it revealing Naruto's life.

"Oh my, a rather unfitting fate for a supposed hero. I may seem some potential in this boy. Regardless, are you sure that his journey will be longer than a year? The last three saved humanity from various demigods and were fine within a matter of a year." Igor stated.

"I'm sure, leave the end date at TBD until I say otherwise." Igor nodded and started filing the contract. "I will be meeting with him first, you prepare a gate to the Velvet Room. You know the procedure Igor. I will see you in the future when the time is right." Philemon explained before disappearing as a butterfly.

"Rather strange, I wonder what it is that preoccupies the mind of my creator to meet the next user personally. It's been a while and we haven't broken protocol in a while." Igor said to himself as he watched through the crystal ball only for the satellite to short circuit. "This is rather unexpected... hopefully I can get Trisha to give back the television if I cannot fix this." he said trying to readjust the antenna.

Back with Naruto

Naruto awakened to find himself in a bed staring at the top at what appears to be a wooden ceiling of some kind. As he moved his head around, his head began to throb as he could find himself not in a hospital, but in strange space where the sky was black and the floor was shaped as if it were a checkerboard.

"Hello Naruto." Naruto turned his head to see a man in a mask with a white suit standing over him. "Do you remember who I am?" he asked.

"Philemon." Naruto answered as if it were common knowledge.

"Good you do remember. Naruto I brought you here to tell you something important." Philemon said turning serious.

"What is it?" Naruto asked.

Philemon placed his hand over Naruto's head revealing all the information he had obtained of the boy including the truth, Hiruzen's attempts to protect the boy, his godparents neglecting him and withholding his inheritance and most importantly, his parents. Kakashi returned him and Naruto only for the ANBU to escort Naruto while Kakashi personally took Sasuke to the hospital. Sakura and the rest of the village had also attempted to attack him while he was down only for Tsunade to declare temporary martial law to prevent it. Naruto was shocked by the truths and wasn't sure how to feel.

"Naruto there is something else I need you to do. I will lead you to your father's estate, it was behind the monument and can only be opened by the blood of a relative. I need you to go there and grab everything your parents did not nail to the ground. Bank documents, techniques, weapons, heirlooms, everything!" Philemon said.

"Including the machine that nails things to the ground? It's likely not nailed to the ground since you need to move it." Naruto chuckled.

Philemon remained silent and stared at the boy making him nervous, "That's an ok joke I suppose, however I recommend you take everything including the machine if it exists." he said continuing to use his urgent tone.

"Why do you want me to take everything? I get that a lot of that stuff is mine, but wouldn't it be suspicious even if I confront granny and pervy sage about it? What if they try to deny everything and lock away my inheritance?" Naruto asked.

"Naruto listen carefully to what I am going to tell you." Naruto leaned in to listen, "You need to leave the village." Philemon whispered into his ear.

"What!? Why!?" Naruto panicked.

"Naruto they are planning your downfall, I cannot explain too much for now. I will now awaken you and lead you to your father's... rather your estate as it belongs to you now." Philemon stated

Naruto nodded before being embraced by darkness followed by a bright light making him open his eyes to the sight of a hospital room at night. He looked and noticed several ANBU were knocked out on the floor. Knowing this was the chance Philemon gave him, he quickly grabbed his clothes and prepared to jump out the window when a blue butterfly started circling around his face before landing on his shoulder. Taking a moment to study the insect before realizing he's seen it a few times before including during the old man's funeral.

"Do you remember my name?" he heard a voice ask as the butterfly began to fly again.

"Take me to my real home Philemon." Naruto said following the butterfly meanwhile the real Philemon stood atop of a water tower.

"Good, while my other half leads him to the estates, I will be attending a meeting myself." Philemon said to himself before heading towards the hokage tower.

Council room

The council was in full session and Philemon had quickly gone through everything pertaining to Naruto's heritage. Birth certificate, wills of his parents and anything else of use. Having stayed over a decade in this dimension, Philemon knew exactly what to do once Naruto receives everything, all that was left was to see the outcome of what they planned to do with him. Taking the form of a butterfly again, Philemon spied on the meeting.

"Seeing as he lost control and according to the testimony of Sasuke Uchiha. Naruto Uzumaki is to be punished for attacking and nearly killing a clan heir." Tsunade said impassively feeling as if she was doing justice. "He will be sentenced to blood prison for the next two decades of his life and will be stripped as a shinobi and used properly as the villages jinchuuriki." and before anyone could cheer someone spoke up.

"Or better yet, I take him out of the village along with his properties, titles, wills, and anything likely incriminating against the village." everyone started looking around as to who said that.

"Who said that?" asked a civilian.

"I did." everyone turned their heads to a blue butterfly floating on to the open center of the U shaped table which they use before the butterfly turned into the shape of a man in a white suit wearing a mask. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Philemon, a from the realm of consciousness and unconsciousness." he said.

"ANBU!" Tsunade yelled.

"Dormina!" Philemon cried out making all the ANBU pass out from exhaustion before they landed. "Let us not be hasty, I'm sure had one of your predecessors been here, they would have talked things out and analyzed the threat level of the person they would have spoken to. Perhaps this became a fools job once Hiruzen Sarutobi passed away." Philemon said making Tsunade grow a tick mark.

Philemon started to sweat drop at the random chatters of the civilians and shinobis either demanding respect or demanding his surrender. He had an idea of where his next trip would take place so no soul would ever be tortured by this kind of stupidity. His thoughts stopped as he shoved his leg backwards and reached for the back of him grabbing someone's hair and tossing his would be attacker into the wall.

"You wonder why all three of you were a failure in his eyes." Philemon said to his attacker who turned out to be Jiraiya.

"You have a lot of nerve breaking into a private meeting and thinking you can challenge a sannin with decades of experience no less." Jiraiya said forming a rasengan in his palm.

"Decades? Young man I have lived since the dawn of humanity, watching over it's pluses and failures, judging every action humanity has taken as a whole and you assume all the strength you gathered from prostitutes and alcohol would be enough to defeat me?" Philemon asked dodging Jiraiya's attack and grabbing his arm followed by a punch into his elbow making him howl in pain. "Nara do not think about using that technique on me, it has a limit and I can snap it like I can snap you." he said bending down and grabbing the shadow used in the Nara clan's possession jutsu.

"How did you...?" Shikaku trailed off before falling on his back in pain as the shadow was snapped in half like a twig.

"I would recommend the rest of you stay seated as your attacks would put you and others in more danger if you haven't realized you are in a closed space." Philemon said making the shinobi side stand down. "Good all I wanted to do is let you know about my plan involving Naruto Uzumaki."

He sweatdropped more as there were calls for him to die or be imprisoned.

"This ignorance is the exact reason I will be taking him with me, but not without these." he said waving several documents around. "Two of which are the wills of his parents who died during the nine tailed fox attack and another a message from Hiruzen Sarutobi from beyond the grave. Would anyone like me to disclose of these documents?" he asked.

"Those are classified documents! You have no right revealing them to anyone!" Tsunade yelled slamming her desk.

"You see deary, you forget that you are no longer in control. You are not a princess, you are not a war hero, you are a failure, a disgrace and a coward. These documents will see proof of that. Now, who else wishes to interrupt me?" Philemon asked.

Several shinobi were ready to take their chance, but stood back seeing Shikaku signal them to stand down. He may have been king of the sloths, but they were genius sloths. If there wasn't a reason to fight, he would be that reason.

"Very good, now let us start with the third hokage's letter. As you know, I am very good with voices." Philemon boasted before clearing his voice. "How do I sound?" he asked in a voice identical to the late third.

To the current hokage of Konohagakure no Sato,

By now I have either stepped down or have passed away, this letter is a message to the current hokage pertaining the contents of the letters and other documents you have found. You see what was a little over a decade ago was the attack of the nine tailed fox, many people lost their lives including our fourth hokage, Minato Namikaze. However, Minato left not only his belongings, but his legacy. However there was a dark secret behind the nine tailed fox attack.

Minato was married to the sole survivor of Uzushio, not only that, but she was the the niece of Mito Uzumaki. Mito Uzumaki was the wife of the first hokage Hashirama Senju and first jinchuuriki of the nine tailed fox. To keep it brief, during the battle of the valley of the end, Madara Uchiha utilized his Sharingan to manipulate the tailed beast in hopes of gaining the upper hand. However, Mito joined the fray and with her clan's advanced sealing techniques, she sealed the beast inside of herself giving the her husband the victory he needed ending Madara's life.

Years later, Mito grew old and had to reseal the beast inside someone else to prevent the beast from ever being unleashed among the shinobi world for a second time. The second jinchuuriki was Kushina Uzumaki and sole survivor of Uzushio and the fourth hokage's wife. Yes he was married to her in secret a year before the attack and soon found themselves expecting a child. There was one problem, a side effect of the pregnancy involved a large hole for the tailed beast to escape through.

The night of the attack, Minato told me that a man wearing a spiral mask claiming to be Madara Uchiha had broken in and killed my wife Biwako along with several other ANBU and nurses before kidnapping Kushina and releasing the nine tailed fox onto the village in hopes of destroying it. Minato defeated the man, but he escape using a space time ninjutsu freeing the fox from his control. However, Minato knew his wife was too weak to contain the fox any longer.

In an act of desperation, Minato had to sacrifice someone close to him for he could not ask another parent to give up their child. He used the shiki fuujin to cut a deal with the shinigami to sacrifice his own life in order to seal away the fox inside his own son. Kushina died slowly after cradling her child bearing tears that she would never see her child grow. The fourth's final wish was for his son to be seen as a hero, however that was denied and the villagers would rather kill a jailer for personal honor and glory claiming it to be in honor of the fourth.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki's son is to receive these documents once he reaches 16 or becomes chunin. Should I be gone before then, I request that he be given the proper guidance and teachings for I fear my two remaining students would either neglect or purposely stunt his growth. Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze is to be protected at all costs.

-Hiruzen Sarutobi, third hokage

Philemon finished the letter completely ignoring all the random yelling that occured during his reading while constantly blocking and countering all of Jiraiya's attacks.

"Perhaps I should have made my appearance sooner, regardless I can see you don't need him so I might as well take him myself." Philemon said ignoring the few faces of people who were genuinely shocked by the news. "Oh would you look at the time, I guess I don't have time to read the wills out loud. If you would excuse me, I need to help a certain someone take back what rightfully belongs to him." Philemon soon escaped with the documents by transforming into a butterfly and leaving through the vents.

"That man is too dangerous to live! Tsunade do something!" Danzo yelled trying to avoid his weapon from being snatched away.

"I know, Jiraiya I need you to round up some ANBU and get to Naruto at the hospital before that man does." Tsunade commanded.

Jiraiya nodded and ran off before Tsunade could put the village under high alert.

With Naruto

While aimlessly following the butterfly around, Naruto stumbles upon a large mansion like building covered in vines and moss. The butterfly flew above Naruto and flapped its wings rapidly creating a powerful gust of wind blowing all of the vines out of the way. Upon closer inspection, he could see the Uzumaki spiral and Namikaze shuriken on the doorway. Continuing to follow the butterfly, Naruto saw the seal glowing rapidly as he approached.

"Naruto, it is what you call a blood seal. Only people whose DNA would match will be able to access the contents behind these doors." Philemon explained making Naruto nod as he bit his thumb and rubbed it over the seal making it glow brighter.

The doors clicked and opened slowly revealing the entrance and triggering the lights to go on. Going in Naruto could see the spiraling stairway leading to the next floor. Naruto continued to look around before coming face to face with a large painting of the fourth hokage holding his arms around a beautiful red haired woman.

"Kushina Uzumaki, according to the files I found in the hokage's office, she was your mother and the second jinchuuriki of the nine tailed fox." Naruto looked at the butterfly in shock, "I'm sure your tenant will explain things once you come into contact to him. For now, I leave you here."

"Wait, so what am I supposed to do? You can't just leave me here!" Naruto yelled in fear.

"Naruto, retake what belongs to you. When you are finished, my most trustworthy servant will find you. Good luck Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, from here you will pave the road of your destiny for as powerful as I am. I cannot bend it myself." and with the butterfly disappeared into the night.

Naruto took a deep breath as he started thinking everything over. After a few calm minutes, before making his fingers into a cross creating at least a hundred shadow clones.

"I want you all to take everything! Anything that isn't nailed into the ground goes into sealing scrolls! I don't care what it takes! Konoha has lost its privilege and by taking away from me, I want to take away from them! Well what are you waiting for!?" Naruto yelled making all the clones run around and start tearing the place apart for anything of worth. Whether financial, emotional, some technique or message, nothing was staying behind.

Naruto for his part found a large storage of sealing scrolls and started handing them out before grabbing some paper and stationary to begin leaving his messages behind. He may be a missing nin for this, but that doesn't mean he won't tell anyone about his side of the story. Whether people believe him or not, his voice will be heard and people will know that Tsunade and Jiraiya were keeping secrets from the village. As much as he wishes to stay and work things over, he knew his time came and had to leave before matters became worse.

An hour had passed, Naruto had cut out the painting of his parents and quickly sealed it away shortly before noticing another glowing seal. Putting his bag on the ground, he quickly bit himself again spraying the blood over the seal revealing its contents. Inside was steel container similar to a safe only all the defenses opened feeling the blood seal being opened revealing two things.

Naruto reached for them, one was a tri pronged kunai with a scroll wrapped next to it and a handle with one more seal on it. Placing his blood once more the handle sprouted a tendril stabbing him in the hand forcing him to take a knee until the pain subsided making the handle grow revealing a blade taking form of the shape of a butcher knife. Despite the impressive size and threatening look it gave, Naruto did not have time to admire as time was of the essence prompting him to seal it and place it with the other scrolls in his backpack.

Taking a good look at everything one last time, Naruto ordered the clones to set up explosive notes all over the mansion and slowly dispel themselves one by once they've finished. As this this was going on, Naruto quickly dashed out the mansion only to find several ANBU and Jiraiya in the way.

(Persona 5 OST - Desire)

"That's enough brat! You're in trouble as is for your stunt during your mission! Now put everything back and come with us so I can seal away your chakra!" Jiraiya ordered.

"To hell with you Jiraiya! You're nothing, but a disgrace and like Tsunade you've hid behind your status as sannin to run around and do your vices. The old man was a fool to let you run around. He was too kind hearted and that was the reason Orochimaru got away!" Naruto yelled back.

"Don't bring up Orochimaru brat! You managed to bring back your teammate, but at least I didn't use excessive force on mine when he tried to defect!" Jiraiya argued.

"The only difference is Orochimaru was an orphan like me! Besides it's not the like the village really cares for Sasuke, the second more Sharingan babies come, they'll dump him. Sarutobi should have been more strict, but he was too scared you two would run off and become missing nin had he forced you back. Face it pervert, what purpose do you have here?" Naruto asked.

"I have a spy network and I'm the toad sage! Not only that, but I'm the teacher of the fourth hokage!" Jiraiya yelled acting as if he were the hero here.

Naruto scoffed, "And where exactly were you when he sacrificed himself? Where were you during the fox attack? What exactly did you contribute before and after it was all over? Play the sad old man who lost his famous student? Did you even feel remorse when he died or were you like Tsunade and used Dan and Nawaki as an excuse to run away?" Naruto asked.

"Don't bring princess into this! She suffered! Unlike...!" he trailed.

"Unlike who Jiraiya!? Like me, I had no one! Everyone lost people! Tsunade lost her boyfriend and brother while other people suffer the same and even worse! Iruka sensei lost his parents! I lost my parents! Sasuke lost his clan! The first two hokage lost many clan members and their family before they even established the village and what did they do?" Jiraiya wanted to argue, but found himself forced into silence as if he couldn't dodge the question or lie. "Exactly and what about you? What did you lose? A student only for you to dishonor him by letting his son fend for himself!"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth as he was unable to say anything and it was only a moment later that Tsunade would arrive with extra ANBU.

"Brat, I heard everything and you are absolutely wrong about..." Tsunade soon felt a painful lump in her throat forcing her to say something else, "Nothing." she clapped her hands over her mouth.

"I knew it. And who was the real victim?" Naruto asked.

"You." Tsunade gasped as she lost control over her own voice.

"Princess what are you doing?" Jiraiya asked in a concerned voice.

"I don't know, for some reason I can't lie." she did it again. "Regardless, ANBU surround him. Naruto Uzumaki is to be arrested and charged for breaking and entering the fourth hokage's mansion and stealing clan property!"

Naruto was having enough and noticed the ANBU slowly approach him with their blades out. Naruto soon felt a pain in his gut that forced him to on his knees as he gripped his head in pain.

"What's he doing?" Tsunade asked.

"He's faking! Sarutobi sensei said he was a goofball and a prankster! ANBU don't let him out of your site!" Jiraiya ordered.

As Naruto gripped his head in pain, his eyes began to change into yellow as small blue fires appeared around him. The ANBU jumped back as several black chains wrapped around him as the fire began to grow and cover him. The two sannin looked around wondering what sorcery was causing the attack on him all while Naruto ignored the events unfolding as the pain was unbearable.

"Is this how it ends? You are given the hope of freedom? Hope to become strong? Will you choose to be enslaved as a weapon?"

Naruto grunted as the voice entered his mind, but didn't say anything as the flames grew brighter and the chains restrained him tighter.

"Or will you overcome your oppressors? Will you be the single flames that lights the darkness? Would you become the savior and redemption of humanity? Choose now!"

The flames completely surrounded Naruto distorting the view of the sannin and ANBU before it exploded causing several debris of burning chains to fly out towards them.

"A slave or a savior?"

(End of Song)

Out of the flames appeared a figure in a black outfit. He had black hair in the shape of bangs with one being red and the other being yellow. On the lower part of his cheek, some clay or rubber material formed as it were covering part of his face. His attired was composed of a grey muscle shirt under a black trench coat with white symbols for the Uzumaki and Namikaze clan on each individual shoulder. He wore a pair of tactical pants holding a foreign weapon on his leg along with a pair of steel toe boots.

"Pain will either break or build you. You either learn from your mistakes and see the world or live in ignorance and forever remain blind. I choose to become strong and stare down whatever opposes me!" he said as he stuck out his hand summoning the large blade.

"Come forth Knights of the round table!" Naruto yelled as the mansion behind him blew up followed by three large flames revealing three knights.

(Persona 5 OST - Awakening)

"What are you waiting for!? Get him!" Tsunade ordered.

The ANBU nodded and charged only for one of the knights to get in the way, "Hiding behind masks? Fall before my blade cowards! Garula" said the knight as he drew a large blade with a golden handle and crest creating a gust of wind sending them back.

"Don't count them out just yet King Arthur!" Naruto yelled connecting his blade against several tantos behind him. Naruto smirked as he swept their legs and jumped back as another knight jumped in front of him.

"I will deal with them sire! Makouga!" he yelled summoning several spikes made of light knocking the ANBU out.

"I owe you one Galahad." Naruto said before finding himself trapped inside a wooden cage.

The lion masked ANBU smirked behind his mask to get stabbed in the leg from the third knight, "Screwith thyne jutsus, we have chivalry!" he said before slashing at the ANBU's back and burning the cage away.

"I'm glad I can count on you too Perceval." Naruto said getting a thumbs up.

"Ok that's it no more messing around!" Jiraiya yelled as he jumped in front of Naruto.

"I was wondering how long you were going to take until you showed your face." Naruto said holding the sword over his back.

"Damn you brat! I'll permanently seal away your chakra for destroying Minato's legacy!" Jiraiya yelled forming a rasengan only narrowly avoid a sword strike.

"You are the bigger fool. You should have taken his place instead and maybe the village wouldn't have needed the sannin." Naruto said coldly swinging more until Tsunade jumped in punching the ground creating a gap on the ground Naruto stood on.

Naruto quickly jumped away and made several clones that distracted Tsunade, "Really brat I thought you would have learned by now." she said smugly only for one of the clones to blow up the moment she punched it out of existence.

"You honestly think a clone master wouldn't develop his own technique further?" Naruto asked blocking Jiraiya's strikes followed by a frontal kick to his head.

The ANBU attempted to regroup and help out the sannin only to be boxed in by large flames, "None of you are going anywhere! Our fight has not ended yet!" said King Arthur charging in with his sword with Percival and Galahad by his side.

Tsunade gritted her teeth seeing that these new summons stopping her ANBU. She then turned her attention back to the clones, weary that they could likely explode the moment she makes contact with them. Of all times, super strength had to be her trump card only for that to be nulled. Meanwhile Jiraiya was quickly getting frustrated as Naruto was much more quick and nimble than before. He knew he had to end this quickly before this dragged on.

Jiraiya jumped back creating two shadow clones and attempted went through several hand seals only to be interrupted, "Makajama!" suddenly Jiraiya's hands went limp and started slapping each other. He bit himself and stomped on the ground a few times trying to summon the toad sages.

"Why the hell is this working?" he asked slapping his hands together some more.

"I temporarily erased your memory of all your techniques. You can only use taijutsu at this point pervert." Naruto grinned before poofing away.

Tsunade managed to finish off all of the clones with the few elemental techniques she knew outside of medical ninjutsu before finding another clone grab her from behind.

She was about to attack when Naruto dashed towards her, "Five Pronged Seal!" Tsunade fell on her knees before feeling her genjutsu slowly disappear.

"What did you do brat? That technique only works over other seals like the one you have!" Tsunade yelled while he grinned.

"Philemon modified it so it could affect anyone who's constantly making chakra flow over their body. A bad time to be a med nin who needs to maintain perfect chakra control right?" Naruto asked making her glare daggers.

(End of Song)

Naruto looked back seeing the ANBU defeated, "Well I should get going. Hopefully my clones did their job. Now as a parting gift I'll give you this." Naruto approached her with glowing fingers, "Evil Touch!" Tsunade soon found herself in a paralyzed state with wide eyes and started murmuring something he couldn't understand.

"What did you do to her?" Jiraiya asked running to her side.

"Full Tune Blast! (OC skill)" Jiraiya soon found himself screaming at the top of his lungs trying to cover his ears as he hears the voice of a vulgar teenage boy singing a song called "Last Surprise" on full blast.

"Well that's the end of that. Come on boys, we did good, but we have to head out now." Naruto said grabbing his bag and running off as the three knights entered his body.

Seeing that the village was under heavy lockdown and after listening in closely, he could hear that they were on high alert trying to look for him. Either they noticed he was gone from the hospital or Philemon did something to stir up trouble. What are the chances his new guardian watcher would sell him out and expect him to figure things out on his own? Oh wait... he just pulled a Jiraiya.

Naruto sighed hoping he wouldn't have to put up with another set of sannin, one tried to kill him, another barely trained him then almost killed him and the final one backstabbed him and tried to arrest him. Noticing several guards at the gate, Naruto took his chances and made a clone of himself disguised in his original outfit and hairstyle. The clone jumped down grabbing their attention.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'm going to be hokage dattebayo!" the guards just stared at him blankly, "I'm also going to be referred to as Boruto's dad in the future." he said dryly.

"GET HIM!" they all yelled chasing the clone all the way to the hokage monument.

"I did not get this far just to be called Boruto's dad. Regardless, I'm not coming back so I better get rid of these." Naruto said with a frown as he removed his forehead protector and necklace before making two clones. "Give the necklace to Shizune, she'll know what to do. Give the forehead protector to Iruka sensei, it's his anyways." he ordered before taking off to the outskirts of the village.

In the distance two Hyuga can see Naruto running off, "Hey there he is! Let's catch him!" one of them said.

"No you idiot! That guy is wearing all black meaning he's a badass on an awesome journey. Look, just use the Byakugan and check." the other said getting a nod.

"Yup you're right, I can't see any disguise or high levels of chakra." he said scratching his head.

"See what did I tell you?" Naruto would be laughing if he could hear them.

A while later

Naruto stopped for a moment to catch his breath before realizing he had no direct destination. Philemon said that he would be on his own and that he would be left in the care of an associate of his. Naruto groaned realizing that this new guy pulled a Jiraiya on him. He took a seat by stump and decided to think about what to do next now that he was lost and to make matters worse, he was a missing nin.

First step was to figure where to go, Wave country a nice place where he is accepted and recently heard he was called a hero... Konoha could easily destroy the place if it meant catching him. Ok, how about Snow country, there are rumors that Spring finally arrived and it's pretty far and has its own hidden village and elite guard. Wait would they change the name of their village due to change in climate too? Regardless, it's too FAR AWAY! Then there's Taki, Shibuki could let him in being leader and all, but they're a smaller village and with the whole balance of powers thing, it might be a bigger mess than if he went to Wave.

Naruto sat up and stretched his legs, Snow/Spring might be the best place to go with the least trouble and hopefully he can raise the money to pay for a boat ride. Just as he was ready to go, Naruto felt some heat in one of the pockets of his jacket. Digging through his pocket, found a strange blue card with a mask that was half black and half white. As he studied the strange item he felt a weird vibration coming from behind him putting him on the offensive.

Looking at the sign of the vibration, he saw a blue ghost like gate in the middle of the road. Approaching it, he noticed a rectangular imprint on the lock. As he looked back at the card, he felt it vibrate as it came closer to the gate lock. Putting two and two together, and watching out for his personal safety, Naruto made a shadow clone and ordered it to connect it with the lock. A second later the lock made a clicking noise before dropping the card and opening.

The clone dispelled as Naruto picked up the card and decided to stick his arm through the glowing entrance feeling nothing, but air. Letting his curiosity get the better of him, he sticks his head out which forced the gate to close behind him pushing him in all the way. Quickly composing himself, Naruto looked around to find himself inside the courtyard of some mansion. As he looked around, he noticed a blue butterfly spinning around in the air before entering an open window and landing on someone's finger that was stuck out.

"Prick." Naruto said not noticing the butterfly somehow grow a tick mark.

Having an idea of what was started to run up to mansion and knocked on the door. A moment later, he heard several footsteps followed by several loud crashed and sounds of broken furniture.

"Hold on now, I will be with you in just a minute." he heard the voice say.

Naruto sweat dropped as he could hear more sounds of broken furniture and sounds of tripping, "Please bare with me. I am rather blind and unable to do most things besides play the piano. However, I am also a great cook and housekeeper." the voice said followed by more broken sounds. "You know what, how about you just let yourself in." the voice said.

Naruto grabbed the handle and turned it only to feel that it was locked, "I can't get in, you have to open it from your side." he said.

"Oh my, this will take longer than expected." the voice said followed by more stumbling.

"You want me to pick the door?" Naruto asked.

There was silence until the door was finally opened revealing an older man wearing a blindfold, "No need sir! Welcome to the Velvet Room! My name is Nameless." he said sticking his hand out the wrong way.

Naruto turned him and shook his hand, "So you don't have a name?" he asked.

"No, it's just that Nameless is my name." Nameless answered, "Anyways come in, we've been expecting you Mr.. er?"

"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto answered walking in to a dark room. "Is it always this dark?" he asked already realizing his mistake.

"I am blind." Nameless deadpanned before stumbling away in the dark.

(Persona 3, 4, & 5 OST - Poem of Everyone's Souls/Velvet Room)

Several lights lit themselves revealing a desk and man whose face was covered by the shadows, "I take it your journey was rather exciting?" he asked.

Naruto took a deep breath before answering, "Exciting isn't how I would describe the fact I had to run away from my home. Although, there's the fact I can't return there ever again." he answered making the mysterious figure nod.

"Now that you are without a home, do you feel out of place? Perhaps you feel that you are missing a purpose?" the figure asked.

"What purpose? I've been lied to my whole life and some of the people that I thought I could trust are either gone or betrayed me. I'm only here because a man I saw in my dream granted me power and revisited me again to save me only for me to end up on my own." Naruto explained.

"So you believe that although you've gained your freedom, you have found yourself alone in this world based on the directions a stranger has given you. Is there someone out there you are willing to turn to now that you are alone?" he asked.

Naruto sighed, "I can imagine a few people who are willing to give me a chance, likely at a price once they figure the trouble I could cause just by being around. So in reality, no I don't. I'm alone and don't have anyone, but myself and personal morals to fight for." he admitted thinking about his aimless journey.

"What would you say that you did have a purpose? That somewhere out there, a divine being or something of great power would demand that you reach greatness? Are you willing to ignore the call and continue searching aimlessly throughout the elemental nations on your own? Or will you take on this task just to find some purpose and direction?" he asked.

A long silence came and Naruto finally answered after taking a long time to think, "I have nothing else to do. I would accept the job." he stated impassively.

The man grinned as the light grew brighter revealing his face. He had a creepy smile, he had big eyes and a long nose with white hair growing on the back of his head while the top was bald. His attire was composed of a black suit with white gloves.

"Come here boy." Naruto walked up to the man, "I'll give you a choice boy, you are not obligated to do as you are told, but I will give you a chance to think twice. Will you continue down this path as Philemon had instructed you until now or will you return to the Elemental Nations down your aimless journey? Choose wisely." he said.

Naruto thought about and looked back at the door that opened on it's own leading back to the gate that was opened again. Thinking back to it, he didn't have much of a choice. At this point in his short life, there were only two options he could pick from. Bad and worse. He looked back at the long nosed man.

"I wish to continue." Naruto answered causing smoke to appear on the man's desk revealing a sheet of paper.

"Thus the contract has been signed." he said as Naruto looked down to see his name being written on its own. "I am Igor and I welcome to the Velvet Room Naruto Uzumaki. You are welcome to stay here until you contract is fulfilled." Igor said.

Naruto sighed yet again wondering what he got himself into.

To Be Continued...

Author: Will that took a while and it took a lot for me to ignore my procrastination.

Igor: Don't you have a chapter to finish for another story you adopted?

Author: F*** my life!

Igor: And you start that new job giving you less time to write.

Author: *Screams at the air*

Igor: You also have to finish your current stories including Konoha's GioGio which you will edit and delete some chapters like you did for this one.

Author: I am now sad.

Igor: You also won't be able to stay up until midnight to work on this anymore.

Author: Why does my life hate me?

Igor: Regardless, what are the new updates?

Author: Lavenza would you be a dear and tell the readers what we've changed. Oh and to everyone else, when I made my notice for this story, I accidentally wrote Veronica and not Lavenza.

Lavenza: I took offense to reading that myself.

Author: Not my fault that Seven Deadly Sins happened to have two sisters names Margaret and Elizabeth only for the third one to have a different name. Regardless what are the updates?

Lavenza: You combined the first four chapters while releasing Naruto's three personas ability early. Kakashi hadn't made an appearance during the fight and Naruto didn't make a confrontation with Jiraiya and Tsunade earlier. Finally you took away the pointless conversations at the beginning and end of the chapters.

Author: Yeah, I will just replace those with notes and other updates. I really wanted to fix the story since someone pointed out the pointless direction the story was heading towards so now I have an organized idea ever since I worked with Seven Deadly Sins.

Lavenza: What will Naruto be facing in the next chapter?

Author: It will be a series of timeskips including Naruto's training regiment and his sudden cold attitude where he won't be as trusting anymore.

Lavenza: But what will that mean for me and my teddy bear?

Author: Don't worry you'll always be his princess. Especially when he opens at the end of the chapter. Anyways, I'll see you all for the next chapter of Seven Deadly Sins and then I'll release the remake of Konoha's GioGio.
