Chapter 1 The Legend Begins

15 years have passed since the Kyuubi attacked Konoha, in the Uzumaki training grounds, a 13-year-old girl with long blood red hair that reaches her lower back, and deep purple eyes, is currently trying to use what looked like four purplish chains with kunai-like endings, that are coming out of her back. Watching the little girl were two women, one looked like an older version of the little girl with blood red hair that went down to her mid back, deep violet eyes, and a happy smile. The other women however, looked slightly strange, she also had blood red hair that went down to her upper rear, red slitted eyes, and whisker marks on her cheeks, while also having a happy smile. However, what made her look strange were the fox ears on top of her head and the nine swishing tails behind her, that all were covered in orange-red fur with black tips.

"Mom! Kurami! Look, I almost got it!" the girl squealed while jumping up and down in excitement which caused her to lose focus making the chains dissipate back into chakra causing the girl to pout and the two women to laugh at her antics.

"That was very good Naruko," Kushina told the now-named Naruko, "But next time, keep your focus and keep practicing so that you can eventually summon and use them like it's second nature." She said, while summoning her own chains, which mostly waved lazily swayed behind her except for one that went and picked up her daughter, bringing her closer to her before giving her daughter a hug, after dissipating the chains. "It also helps make them easier to control, so that you don't accidentally hurt someone." Kushina said, letting go of her daughter and seeing her nod her head up and down.

"I will, I'm just excited about almost having them down so that I can be stronger as a kunoichi." Naruko said with a big, bright smile on her face, before it turned into a sad frown, "I also miss Naruto-nii." muttered Naruko sadly, getting Kushina and Kurami to also frown sadly. Kushina and Kurami knew who she was talking about, and they missed him too.

Kurami moved towards Naruko and got on one knee, so that she became level with Naruko's height, and said, "Don't worry about your brother. He's still doing fine and I know this because I can still feel my chakra inside of him, meaning he is still alive." Kurami said with a smile getting Kushina to smile at her friend for cheering up her daughter. "Besides, we all know it wasn't his choice to leave the village." Kurami growled getting angry looks from Kushina and Naruko as well, both knowing whose fault it was that Naruto wasn't there with them.

(Flashback, One year ago, midnight…)

"What do mean I'm being banished?!" shouted a slightly deep, rough voice that indicated it belonged to a teenage boy. Said boy, was a 14-year-old boy that untamed, spiky, silverish-blue hair, and red eyes that had a touch of violet to them. He was wearing a closed black vest that had trimmings the same color as his eyes with white fastenings, black shinobi pants with lines going down the sides of his pants in the same color as his eyes as well, bandages wrapped around his right thigh that held a ninja pouch in place, with another on his right hip behind him. Finishing off his look, were a pair of black shinobi sandals, fingerless, black, leather gloves with metal plating on the back of the hand and a headband with a strange leaf design wrapped around his right arm. However, currently, he was face down on the floor, with his hands being restrained behind his back by an ANBU with grey, gravity-defying hair, with the mask of dog.

This was Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. And he was currently being banished by none other than his father, Minato Namikaze, who looked at him with a cold look in his eyes.

Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage, looked at his, "son," before replying, "You are being banished because you were found guilty for the death of your teammates and Jounin sensei on your last mission and for stealing money from the Konoha reserves." Minato said without an ounce of remorse.

Naruto grew furious at these accusations, "That's bullshit! They attacked me because they wanted to rape some of the women we rescued on the mission and I refused and threatened to report them and I have never stolen anything from the reserves! I don't even have the clearance to get to the vault or know anyone who does!" Naruto shouted, enraged at such ridiculous claims.

"YOU WILL WATCH YOUR TONE WHEN SPEAKING TO YOUR HOKAGE AND FATHER!" Minato roared, furious at how this, "demon," was speaking to him.

"You're not my father!" Naruto shouted back, "You've never treated me like a son, and clearly you must be getting old if you can't remember that since I'm being banished, that means you're no longer my hokage, which means I don't have to listen you anymore!"

Minato sneered at Naruto, before schooling his expression but keeping his cold eyes trained on Naruto, "It matters not. You have one hour to gather your things and leave the village."

Naruto glared at Minato, before Inu let him go which let Naruto get up, rubbing his wrist from being held for so long and took off his headband, but instead of handing it over to the hokage, he crushed it in his hand showing his physical strength, and dropped it on the ground which made Minato angry, as that was basically a way to say, "Fuck you!" to the village. With that Naruto left, not seeing the looks of sadness that appeared on the faces of seven women, three of which, could not be seen due to the masks they wore, and one of which belonged to his mother.

Naruto had his stuff all packed in scrolls with a backpack and was jogging towards the main gate to leave, when he saw three of his best friends waiting for him by the gate. Naruto slowed down and looked at the three girls before him.

One had black hair that they kept in two buns, making them look like panda ears, and grey eyes. She was wearing a pink long-sleeve pajama blouse with red trimmings and yellow buttons, pink pajama pants and blue shinobi sandals.

The other had long brown hair that was kept in a ponytail with two strands of hair framing her face, large black eyes, and a set of fang tattoos on her cheeks, signifying that she comes from the Inuzuka clan. She was wearing form-fitting grey short that end at her mid thighs, black shinobi sandals, and short-sleeved jacket that she has partially unzipped showing that she was wearing a white t-shirt underneath. And at her feet, were three grey furred dogs with white furred bellies that reach to her knees.

The third had short, dark blue hair that was cut in a hime-style with two strands framing her face, and a pair of pail, pupil-less eyes that have tinges of lavender in them, signifying that she comes from the Hyūga. She is currently wearing lavender colored pajama pants, blue shinobi sandals, and a cream-colored jacket that has fur lining the cuffs and bottom of the jacket.

These three were Tenten Higarashi, Hana Inuzuka, and Hinata Hyūga, three of Naruto's best friends. Two things that all three had in-common were that they had tears in their eyes, and they all had matching necklaces that were pieces of aquamarine carved into the shape of a fox that matched up with many other women's and girl's necklaces in the village. (A.N. Ban's sin tattoo)

Naruto looked at them with sad eyes, before saying, "Hey you three," started Naruto, "what are you guys doing here?"

The three started crying before they launched themselves at him hugging him, while crying and saying, "we don't want you to go," over and over. Naruto sighed knowing what they wanted but he knew that he couldn't stay much longer or else the ANBU will execute him on the spot.

"I'm sorry you three but I can't stay, or else I'll be executed by the ANBU." Naruto said, getting the three to let go and look at him.

"Then we'll go with you!" shouted Hana, not wanting to be separated from Naruto, along with the other two, who were nodding their heads looking at him with hope in their eyes. But that hope disappeared when he shook his head, denying their request.

"You can't do that, you guys have family, friends, and responsiblities who love you and need you here." Naruto said with a small, soft smile before looking over at Hana, "Who's going to help the animals and take care of your mom, Hana?" Naruto asked making Hana look down with a sad look.

"Or what about your dad and his shop, Tenten? Who's going to help him with all of that?" Naruto asked Tenten making her also look down with shut eyes.

"And what about your mom and sister, Hinata? Who's going to help Hitomi or your sister?" Naruto asked, causing Hinata to let her tears flow again.

"I know you guys want to come with me, but you have to stay here and help your families." Naruto explained, "And besides, I'm banished and only the Hokage can change that and I highly doubt he will." Naruto said, angry at Minato for being such a rotten bastard of a father and even worse hokage.

His words though made them realize, what if there was a different hokage. They could call him back.

"We'll find someone to become hokage and if not then one of us will in order to bring you back!" the three of them shouted, surprising Naruto with their conviction before he smiled a real and true smile that made them all blush.

"In that case," Naruto began with shadowed eyes, making the three wonder what he was going to do. Before he surprised them by kissing each of them deeply on the lips with such passion, it made their knees weak.

Afterwards, he smiled at each of them, and said, "Let that show that we will always be together, no matter where I am, and as a promise for the four of us to meet again, someday."

They all smiled before he turned around, and began jogging towards the gate before running out into the world. The four never saw Kushina and Naruko standing on a building, watching the four, while gripping their own necklaces.

(Flashback end…)

As the three remembered what happened last year, they grew even more determined to find out where he is, because a lot had changed over the past year. Before they, could continue down this train of thought, they heard two people walking over to the group and they turned to see two women standing before them.

One was a tall, blonde woman with beautiful, brown eyes. She was wearing a grey, sleeveless, kimono-style blouse held closed by a broad, dark bluish grey obi that matches her pants, black heeled shoes, with a green haori over that with kanji for "gamble" on the back. Her blouse may be closed but it still shows a considerable amount of her J-cup bust.

The other women is of average height, with shoulder length black hair and onyx colored eyes. She was wearing a bluish-black kimono with white trimmings held closed by a light purple obi that still shows she is wearing a mesh armor shirt underneath with black, open-toed sandals with low heels.

These two were Tsunade Senju, the Godaime Hokage and Shizune Kato, her apprentice and personal aid. One thing that can be easily noticed are a pair of necklaces that they were wearing around their necks, however they couldn't see the charm.

Two months after Naruto's banishment, Kushina tracked down her old sensei, Tsunade Senju and requested for her to come back and become the Hokage. At first, Tsunade refused saying it was a fool's job, until she heard Kushina begin to beg for her to come back and help her get her son back. This stunned Tsunade because in all of the time that she had known and taught Kushina, Tsunade had never seen her former student beg. Tsunade, after getting Kushina to calm down, found out the reason why Kushina was asking for help to get her son back was her ex-husband, the current Hokage, had banished him for false charges and was one of those bigoted people who didn't see Naruto for himself. After that, Tsunade agreed to come back but explained that unless Minato was forced to step down or chose to, she wouldn't be able to help. Kushina told Tsunade that she had that part handled.

Eventually, Minato was arrested by ANBU and publicly executed along with the old advisors, after it was discovered that Minato had banished his son on false charges without evidence, knew about Danzo's stealing of children from clans for his ROOT and for allowing the civilian council to commit crimes and then get away scot-free by paying him some money. Once that was done, Tsunade was inaugurated as the Godaime Hokage and she set about all kinds of changes. Like the execution of the corrupt members of the civilian council and the hiring of the new civilian council. She also took back all of the money that was stolen from the Konoha reserves which turned out to be the amount that Naruto was charged for, and put it back in the Konoha reserves and the rest of the assets were given as payment to all of the necessary sections in Konoha. This was three months after Naruto was banished.

"What are you three doing?" asked Tsunade, with Shizune sharing a curious look.

"We were training and then talking about Naruto and how much we miss him." Kushina replied, getting sad looks from both Tsunade and Shizune. Tsunade because she wasn't around to meet or try and help her godson and Shizune because she would have very much liked to meet Naruto.

"Don't worry, I still have the scroll with the recall message ready for when you find him. Just keep looking and I know he'll turn up eventually." encouraged Tsunade getting huge smiles from all of them.

Kurami then realized something, "Hey, what charms do you have on those necklaces of yours's?" This brought the attention of Kushina and Naruko onto Tsunade and Shizune. Who both look surprised by the sudden question, but they pulled them out and showed the charm. When they saw the charm the Kushina, Naruko, and Kurami were all shocked to see two aquamarine fox charms.

This shocked the three because they knew that only Naruto makes those charms and he hadn't been seen in over a year. And they remember Tsunade and Shizune wearing those necklaces when they came back to the village.

Kushina shakily asked, "W-Where d-did y-y-you get t-those?" Naruko and Kurami were looking at Tsunade and Shizune intensely, awaiting their answer.

Tsunade and Shizune were confused by these reactions but Tsunade decided to answer, "We got them a year ago from a 14-year-old boy." Tsunade answered then asked curiously.

"What did he look like?" Naruko asked.

"He was 5'7" with wild silverish-blue hair that extended past his shoulders with bangs beginning to grow over his face, crimson eyes with a tinge of violet, wearing a grey muscle shirt and black pants with black combat boots. Why do you ask?" Tsunade asked after describing what the boy looked like.

It was then Tsunade and Shizune's turns to be shocked when they saw Naruko and Kushina pull out their necklaces that were exact replicas to their own.

"We're asking because you just described Naruto." Kushina replied, "And also because only he knew how to make those necklaces, anyone who tried to make them failed and the necklace was either broken or misshapen."

"How long ago was this?" Naruko asked, hoping for a trail on her brother.

"It was about a two weeks before you came to me Kushina. He had met us and we all started talking when my debt collectors found us and tried to get me to pay. He then asked if they play a game, where if he won, they would forget the debts, and if they won, he would take the debts on himself. He won, and then actually made a bet for my family necklace and when he heard me say it was cursed, he simply laughed and said his luck would be stronger than some stupid curse. He saw how much it meant to me and he then gave us both these necklaces." Tsunade replied, feeling shocked at unknowingly meeting her godson who helped her with her debts.

Kushina, Naruko and Kurami all had smiles knowing that he was okay, however before they could celebrate his safety, ANBU Neko appeared with a stack of papers and a small black book.

"Hokage-sama, I have brought the latest edition of the bingo book, as well as some wanted posters." informed Neko, revealing that this was a woman.

"Thank you for the bingo book, but why the wanted posters?" asked Tsunade politely, after taking the bingo book and posters, curious about why they are there.

"The wanted posters come from the continent of Britannia and are the members of the group known as the Seven Deadly Sins." replied Neko, earning intrigued looks at the name of the group and shock that they received wanted posters from Britannia.

You see, it was over the past year that Britannia was discovered by the Elemental Nations far across the ocean, travel took a week to get to Britannia but they made it and established trade routes through Nami no kuni in order to get items such as cloth, food, and sometimes bounties in return for copies of the bingo books.

"Thank you for this information Neko," thanked Tsunade to Neko who nodded her head and was preparing to return to her post when, "Before you leave, can you tell me why this group is called the Seven Deadly Sins?" Tsunade asked curious about the group's name as well as the other four present.

Neko nodded and said, "Of course Hokage-sama. Apparently, the reason they are called the Seven Deadly Sins is because they are seven of the most brutal criminals in Britannia who carved symbols of seven beasts onto their bodies. They are; the Dragon's Sin of Wrath, Meliodas, the Serpent's Sin of Envy, Diane, the Grizzly's Sin of Sloth, King, the Goat's Sin of Lust, Gowther, the Lion's Sin of Pride, Escanor, the Boar's Sin of Gluttony, Merlin, and the Fox's Sin of Greed, Ban. These seven were the most brutal of criminals who were eventually brought on as the strongest and cruelest chivalric order of knights in the kingdom. However, apparently they betrayed the kingdom by murdering the Great Holy Knight, Zaratras."

Tsunade heard the wording of the final sentence describing their crime, "Apparently?" asked Tsunade with a raised eyebrow.

Neko nodded, "Yes, apparently because it has been discovered by some spies that we have in the kingdom that the Holy Knights are not as "Holy" as they appear. They have a secret history of performing crimes, such as raiding, pillaging, and rape, all while stating that they have the power to do so, simply because they are Holy Knights with only a select few being honorable." Neko informed, while sounded venomous at the end when talking about the Holy Knights. The others were no better as they too, were furious at how these so called "Knights" acted simply because they had power.

Tsunade calmed down, and asked, "Thank you, when was it that the sins apparently betrayed their kingdom?"

"It was about seven years ago when the death of the Great Holy Knight and the framing of the Seven Deadly Sins took place. After the event, they scattered all over Britannia and they have not been heard from except for Ban who is being held in a prison that is the same as the lowest level of a blood prison," Neko informed, which received looks of surprise, shock and horror, but Neko continued, "However, he wasn't arrested, he simply walked in and turned himself over while saying, 'It might be fun to experience prison here,' before they locked him up in a room while pinning him to the wall with steel spikes piercing through his limbs holding him with a curved, double-ended spike holding his mouth shut." Neko informed, causing the looks of horror to increase in severity at the cruel punishment.

"H-How c-can they d-do something l-like that? A-And why w-would he s-say it would be f-fun?" asked a shaking Naruko with Tsunade, Shizune, Kushina and Kurami looking to be thinking the same questions.

Neko understood their reactions for she had reacted much the same when she heard this information. Neko then decided to inform them of some information that had also surprised her when she heard it, "Do not be alarmed just yet. Another epithet Ban goes by is, "Undead Ban," because he has proven to take any punishment, no matter how severe and fatal the wound, he always comes back looking just as fine as before he received the injury. He never dies and when he does, he comes back looking just as alive as before." Neko informed, which instantly changed all of their looks from horror to surprise, amazement, and intrigue at how such a feat was possible. Neko then said something that surprised them all, "It has also been said that the seven deadly sins Ban, knows the location of a certain someone that I am sure will shock all of you." Neko said cryptically, getting the group to focus on her again.

"Who?" asked Kurami, curious about who Neko could be talking about along with the others.

Neko looked at Kushina and Naruko and said, "Apparently, he knows the last location of your son and brother, Naruto."

Naruko and Kushina went wide-eyed at that along with the others and shouted, "He knows where Naruto was last?!"

"I have no guarantee," said Neko while shaking her head, "but it could be possible to ask, and see if it's true because apparently, he based his looks off of Naruto."

Tsunade nodded her head at the idea before, "That is an excellent idea!" Tsunade exclaimed, before turning to Kushina, "We will send a group to Britannia in search of Ban, and should they meet one of the other sins, they will ask if they can assist in searching for Ban." The group nodded in excitement, before Tsunade said, "But not right now."

"Why not~?" asked Naruko and Kushina, showing that even though one is a full-grown woman and Jounin, they can still be childish.

Tsunade shook her head at their antics, "Because right now you aren't strong enough Naruko. I know you want to go and see Britannia and find your brother, but right now you need to keep training to get stronger, so how about this," Tsunade explained, "if you can get stronger and keep training, I'll let you go with the group in three years because that is when I will send them in search of this Ban."

Naruko thought about the deal, it had always been a dream to see Britannia when she heard about a continent far across the ocean. She thought about it and realized that it was the best she would get, if she got stronger, she could better protect herself and when she finds her brother, she could show that she can stand by his side as an equal. She looked at Tsunade with a fierce look of determination in her eyes and nodded her before she looked at Kushina and said, "Kaa-san, let's get back to training."

Tsunade and Kushina both looked on in pride at her sudden attitude and both knew that no matter what came she would go far in the future. Naruko looked at her necklace one more time, before she closed her eyes and thought, 'I will see you again someday, Naruto-nii.'

(The next day…)

The entire village was gathered in front of the Hokage tower waiting, because they had received a message saying an announcement would be taking place. The whole village waited, wondering and chatting amongst themselves about what the announcement could be. They didn't have to wait much longer as soon they all saw Tsunade and quieted down when she raised her asking for silence to speak.

"I know all of you are wondering what this announcement is going to be about, and I will tell you. I have decided, that in three years' time, we will send a group of ninja to the continent of Britannia." Tsunade announced, which shocked everyone and caused them to start talking amongst themselves about why she would do such a thing. Tsunade let them talk for a minute before raising her hand again, getting everyone's attention and quieting them down. "I know that this seems strange and sudden, but there is a reason for this. We have recently obtained information about the last known location of clan heir, Naruto Uzumaki." announced Tsunade, who was met with stunned silence from the village at the possible location of one of their heroes.

You see, when Minato was arrested and executed along with the corrupt council, Tsunade set the record straight about how Naruto was just like Naruko and was a Jinchūriki that helped keep the village safe by holding half of the Kyuubi and that should he have died all those years ago due to the villages abuse, then they would have unleashed the Kyuubi onto themselves. This information shocked the entire village that they had been mistreating one of their heroes. Once this was known, all of the villagers, who took part in Naruto's abuse growing up, payed repercussions to Kushina and returned all of the extra money they took from him. The shinobi who took part, were given the choice to be executed and have all of their assets seized and given to Kushina and the Uzumaki clan or, be placed on 1-year probation of no work and no paid leave, public apologies to Kushina for the mistreatment to her clansmen and son, go to Inoichi for therapy and to see if they are fit to continue as shinobi for Konoha, and finally, they had to undergo any punishment assigned by Kushina. Kushina knew it wasn't their fault that they were misled, and decided that when Naruto returns, they will serve Naruto however he wishes, and will not complain. The shinobi agreed wholeheartedly, knowing that whatever gave them this second chance, they would not waste it.

Tsunade then decided to continue, "You see, early yesterday, I had received my new copy of the bingo book along with seven wanted posters from Britannia of seven people who all together make up the group known as the Seven Deadly Sins." this received reactions of curiosity on why this would be important, Tsunade then explained, "This is significant because the sin known as Ban, was the last person to ever see Naruto, and so the group will go to Britannia in order to seek him out and ask about Naruto's location." Tsunade finished which got everyone to understand now, why she mentioned the group known as the Seven Deadly Sins.

Tsunade then added, "I will be deciding the group a month before the designated day that the group will leave in search of Ban," this got many of the shinobi excited at possibly getting a chance to find Naruto and see Britannia, but then Tsunade said, "However, only a group of six to eight shinobi will leave to Britannia in search of Ban. Therefore, if you wish to join the group, you must have a valid reason for wanting to join, otherwise, your request will be denied." This got many of the shinobi to drop their heads knowing that they didn't know Naruto well enough to give a good reason. However, among the shinobi present a group of women and girls knew exactly why they wanted to be the ones that go to Britannia. These women all looked different, and all had different jobs, however something that they, along with many others, had in-common, are the necklaces that all share the same charm.

A hand-carved, aquamarine stone in the shape of a fox.

(Meanwhile at Britannia…)

In Britannia, near a town called Dalmary Town, there is a prison called Baste Dungeon. Inside the dungeon is a cell that is guarded by two guards, who were talking about what food to eat later. Inside the cell however, is a prisoner, who is being held by eleven steel spike that were pierced through his limbs with another curved, double-ended spike being held where his mouth is, in order to prevent him from talking. He was 6'11" and was currently shirtless with only unbuttoned, purple pants with metal studs covering his lower half, he had long silverish-blue hair and matching facial hair that had started growing out. He had spikes in his shoulders, his forearms and an extra spike in his right bicep, spikes in his thighs, shins and feet. All of these spikes pierced all the way through his limbs into the wall behind him, and ended with big loops, in order to prevent him from sliding forward to escape, with some of the spikes having bits of chains connected to the hoops. On the left side of his abdominals, his has the tattoo of a red fox looking over its' shoulder with a mark that looks like a circle with eight lines of different lengths extending from it. (A.N. Regular Fox Sin of Greed symbol)

This was Ban Fox, the Seven Deadly Sins', Fox's Sin of Greed, and he was currently sleeping. Now normally, one would be in immense pain from this form of imprisonment, but Ban didn't care and just continued to sleep through this. Suddenly, he began to stir and opened his eyes revealing crimson red eyes that had a tinge of violet to them that looked around in curiosity before he began humming a random tune while thinking, 'I wonder what the others are up to, and how everyone is back home? They probably forgot all about me these past several years.'

(Time skip 3 years…)

It has been three years since Konoha found out on a possible lead to Naruto's location. Over the last three years Naruko trained with all her might in order to become stronger, so that she would be able to leave with the group to Britannia. Going along with Naruko were her mother Kushina, her teachers Anko Mitarashi, Kurenai Yūhi, and Hana Inuzuka, her best friends Hinata Hyūga, Tenten Higarashi and Satsuki Uchiha, with the latter of those three being her rival. They had left the Elemental Nations over a week ago, and had already arrived in Britannia. (A.N. They are all wearing their Shippuden outfits and I will describe Kushina, Naruko, and Satsuki)

Once they arrived, they began asking people on if they knew where the Seven Deadly Sins were. However, instead of being told, they were chased out of the port they had arrived in and were now currently traveling across the lands, asking towns and villages they pass if they had any information on any of the sins. This received results when they were told rumors of a wandering rust knight that was supposedly one of the Seven Deadly Sins. With this new information, they began searching for the knight but came up empty. Currently, the group was resting in a tavern called, the "Boar Hat," that was filled with drunk men.

"So, any news?"

This was asked by Hinata Hyūga and she came along to find her shared boyfriend Naruto.

"Nothing, we couldn't find out anything new other than what we know."

Hinata's teacher, Kurenai Yūhi answered and she came along to help find Ban and provide support by using Genjutsu to allow easier escapes and retrieve information easier.

"Damn it! Why can't we find anything!?"

This was exclaimed by Naruko, who had definitely grown up over the years. Naruko wore a red kimono-style blouse with black trimmings over a mesh armor shirt, black bicycle shorts and a red apron skirt with black, low-heeled sandals. Strapped to her hip was a katana with a white wrapped handle and a black sheath that had a red fox design.

"Calm down Naruko. Remember, it takes time and patience to get information."

"Yeah. You can't expect information to just come to you and go, 'Hey, here I am!' without you having to lift a finger."

These two were Anko Mitarashi and Hana Inuzuka. Anko came in order to retrieve information from any enemies they encounter and capture. Hana came for the same reason as Hinata, to find her shared boyfriend.

"Their right you know. The best things always come to those who wait."

This was said by Naruko's mother, Kushina Uzumaki. Kushina now wore a black, short-sleeved shirt with a red hooded jacket vest that had white fur lining the hood and black, form-fitting pants with black shinobi sandals with her signature katana, "The Red Queen," strapped to her back.

She came along because she wants to find and reconnect with her lost son.

"So relax a little."

"Yeah, can't have my rival getting weak and tired because she was stressed and didn't relax."

Chided the voices of the two final members of the group. One was Tenten Higarashi, and the other, was Satsuki Uchiha, twin sister of Sasuke Uchiha, King of all emos. She had onyx black hair that reached to her up back with shoulder length strands framing her face and matching eyes. She was wearing a black kimono-style blouse with white trimmings while underneath she was wearing a mesh armor shirt and had bandages wrapped around her chest. She also had a black apron skirt and short shorts, with black, low-heeled sandals. She was also carrying a katana that had a white wrapped handle and a black sheath with her clan symbol of a red and white fan designed into it.

Tenten came along because she wanted to find her shared boyfriend and Satsuki came along so that she could also train and memorize training techniques used in Britannia for the Elemental Nations.

"I know, it's just that it's been almost a month since we've been here and the only lead we have so far is this so called, 'Wandering Rust Knight.'" Naruko replied, and the group understood how she was feeling when they were suddenly brought drinks.

They turned to the person to see a small kid with messy blonde hair and green eyes. He was wearing the bar uniform that consisted of an ordinary, clean white button-front shirt and a black sleeveless vest on top with a loosely worn tie. While wearing white pants that end at his knees and a pair of black boots but doesn't wear socks. On his back is a little green bag with a purple zipper along with a sword scabbard with a sword handle appearing over his left shoulder that takes the shape of a green dragon.

"Here go. You girls look kind of stressed about something so I figured some drinks would help." the boy said.

"Thank you, but aren't you a little young to be working as a waiter?" asked Kushina, feeling her motherly instincts kick in over the young boy.

"I'm not a waiter. My name's Meliodas and I'm the owner." replied the boy with a smile.

This got confused looks from everyone on how a little kid could be the owner and where they heard his name.

"Hey sonny, what's that there sword you got?" asked another drunk man.

Before the boy could answer however some bandits with swords came in and began shouting, "Alright! Hand ok very your money, you old folks," then they spotted the group of women, and looked at them with lust, "and you women are coming with us as well." One of the bandits said, before he kicked lips which got the women to cringe in disgust.

Before they could defend themselves however, the boy from before appeared in front of the bandits with a plate of food and said, "Hey, do want some food first?" The bandits and women looked at him like he had grown a second head, while all the men shuddered in fear for a second.

The bandits looked at the food and saw that it looked delicious and decided to eat the food and then continue with their rubbing of the people in the tavern. However, the instant they all took a bite, the bandits began spitting out the food with cries of disgust. The shook his head and shrugged his shoulders while calmly saying, "Oh well, still gross."

"If you knew it was horrible then why did you feed it to us?!" shouted the bandits.

"So you can tell me if it's still bad." the boy replied calmly.

"We'll kill you!" the bandits shouted.

"Clean it up." the boy said with a serious face before snapping his fingers.

"Geez, what a pain. What do you want from me? Oink" said a talking pig that was walking over and was pink with a clover shaped mark on its' rump.

"Hawk, clean the floor." the boy said.

"How about feeding me some better scraps?" Hawk said.

The boy must have taken offense to that because he then turned around and said with a serious face, "If it's a whole pig roast, I'm confident I could do it."

Hawk then began exclaiming how the scraps were absolutely delicious and the best in the world. This got the reaction of making everyone laugh at the duo's antics.

The bandits were starting to get annoyed and were about to begin shouting again when Meliodas appeared in front of them and said, "I suggest you fellows leave before I get upset."

The bandits grew fearful and ran away.

"Hey boy, can you really fight with that sword?" asked one of the men, which gained the attention of everyone onto the boy.

The boy just smiled and shook his head while pulling out the sword, and putting it straight into the air, to show that it was a broken sword with only three-quarters of an inch being the actual blade, "Nah."

This received even more laughter from the people including the women who despite being shocked at the display, couldn't help but find the situation funny. Before anybody could say anything else however, a man burst in, panting with a scared look on his face. The man then looked at everyone and said.

"I saw it."

This got everyone to quiet down and listen as the man sat down and began to tell everyone about the knight. This got reactions of people saying that they were just stories that parents used to tell their children to behave or else the Seven Deadly Sins would come and get you in blood rusted armor. (A.N. Basically the part in the anime when they are all talking.)

Suddenly, everyone began to hear a loud, metallic thumping sound coming from outside the door to the tavern. Everyone began watching as suddenly the door opened up to reveal a large figure wearing rusted armor walking in, before saying, "The… Seven…"

This got all of the men to run out of the bar leaving only the curious, young bar owner, and the group of women, who all looked surprised to find the person they were searching for suddenly do the exact opposite of what Anko had said earlier.

"Hello, would you like something to drink?" asked the young bar owner, getting looks from the women like he had grown a second head.

"The… Seven… Deadly… Sins…" the knight muttered one more time before falling backwards to the floor, where the helmet fell off revealing the face of a girl with silver hair covering her right eye and an earring hanging from her left ear that had a blue gem with the designs of a sun and moon with stars in it.

Later on, we find the group in a room, with the young girl laying on a bed and the rusted armor lying in a corner. The young girl was wearing a black, skin tight jumpsuit with black leggings that extend from her mid-thighs to just before her toes with matching black wraps on her arms covering from her wrists to just before her shoulders. The group, young bar owner and Hawk had all been surprised, except the bar owner, at seeing such a young girl wearing all of that armor. While they were initially surprised, the group then became protective when they saw the young bar owner try to grope her chest with the excuse of, "making sure she was okay and alive." This got him thrown out of the room by the group of women before they asked Hawk to get a basin of cold water and a towel.

Currently, the girl was resting on the bed, with a towel that was soaked in cold water on her forehead, sleeping peacefully, while the women were talking about the girl.

"So, any ideas on why she would be walking around in such a big suit of armor in this heat, clearly for a long time, if the heat stroke she is suffering from says anything." asked Tenten, knowing from her background as a co-owner of a weapons shop that metal armor will build up heat from being in the sun and when it's hot.

"No idea, but we could ask her when she wakes up." offered Naruko which got the group nodding in agreement, 'And maybe she knows something about the Seven Deadly Sins from what she was saying.' Naruko mentally added, figuring that the girl must know something.

"That is very true, and she also seems to have some strange energy coming from her but I cannot tell what it is."

Naruko didn't react to the voice in her head because she knew that it was Kurami talking to her from inside the seal, for you see, when Naruko was training when she was younger, she used too much chakra at one point and knocked herself out, where she eventually found herself coming face to face with Kurami, who explained that she didn't want to attack Konoha because she actually liked Konoha, if only because it was Mito's and Kushina's home, and that she had been forced by an Uchiha who called himself Madara. This had shocked Naruko, but she decided to trust Kurami and told her mom when she woke up, where they decided to look at the seal and rewrite it so that Kurami could have a body outside but her power would stay inside the seal and be regulated by Naruko, so that she wouldn't die because she was not strong enough to survive having a bijuu removed from her seal like her mother was.

'Okay, I'll keep an eye on her just in case she turns out to be dangerous.' replied Naruko.

"Okay kit, and I'll let you know when we start getting closer to Naruto because currently, it feels like he is stationary and has been for a few years now." informed Kurami.

'Got it.' Naruko answered before snapping out of it when she and the rest heard the girl begin to stir. The opened her eye to show a dazzling blue eye before she looked around curious about her surroundings and was surprised to see the group all either standing or sitting around her.

The girl gained a slight flustered look and stuttered, "H-Hello, there." while waving her hand.

"Hello, it's good to see that you're up and feeling better. You gave us quite a scare there when we saw you passed out from heat stroke." informed Hana, having some medical experience even though it was mostly towards animals.

The girl looked even more flustered at that, "Sorry about that." she apologized while bowing her head.

The group just giggled at her antics and told her it was fine and that she didn't have to bow. They soon found out her name is Elizabeth. They then began to talk about what she was doing, wandering around in such big armor in this heat, and she informed them that she was looking for the Seven Deadly Sins. The group and Hawk were all surprised at hearing that answer. Before they could continue however, there was a loud noise from outside in the main part of the tavern where they heard a bunch of knights saying they serve under some, "Lord Twigo," in search of the Rust Knight who had been spotted in the area. The group came out of the room, after telling Elizabeth to stay put, and were prepared to defend the girl when they heard the bar owner say that he knew where the rust knight was and then Hawk exclaimed he was the rust knight when he came out with random pieces of the rusted armor that Elizabeth had been wearing strapped to his body.

Before anyone could do anything, a knight outside began shouting about a woman running into the forest. The knights gave chase to Elizabeth, saying they just had to tire her out before Lord Twigo arrived.

As the knights were chasing Elizabeth, they were being attacked by the group and Hawk. This caused the knights to focus on the group and not notice Elizabeth being picked up by two people into a tree, before the last knight ran off the cliff.

In the tree, were Elizabeth, Meliodas, and Naruko looking down as the knights fell.

"So, how does the rest of that story go? /why are you looking for the sins?" asked Meliodas and Naruko at the same time, just as the rest of the group began appearing.

Elizabeth began explaining that she was looking for the Seven Deadly Sins, in order to stop the Holy Knights. As she was explaining all of the horrible things that the knights did, they were unaware of another presence approaching them. Meliodas began saying how it might not be possible to find the sins because of some rumors that they all died, when Elizabeth exclaimed that they were to amazing in order to die so easily. The group looked at her in surprise when suddenly the ground began shaking.

It turned out, that the cliff had been sliced clean through and was falling to the ground. Standing on the area where the cliff was sliced, stood a knight with a thick mustache and dark red armor.

The knight looked down and said, "Confirmed! Ten unknown people, dead!"

He then looked behind himself, "Is that alright?" He was asking the four knights that were standing behind him.

"B-But Mr. Alioni was beneath the cliff." said one of the knights.

"Then we can say eleven dead."

The knights were shocked at how calmly this knight said that and said, "B-But! Lord Twigo, that's horrible!"

The now named Twigo turned them and asked, "Then, fifteen dead?"

"Anything but that!" the knights shouted in fear.

The five knights then heard several sighs of relief and turned to see the group of women with a redheaded teenage girl carrying Elizabeth and Meliodas carrying Hawk and Mr. Alioni.

The four knights shouted in surprise and relief, "Mr. Alioni!"

Twigo however, "What are you all doing alive?! Don't change my confirmed death toll!"

The entire group minus Elizabeth and Mr. Alioni all shouted or calmly said, "Don't confirm it on your own./!"

As the group, was checking on each other, Twigo saw Elizabeth's earring. "Well, it seems I'm in luck! That symbol is of the royal family. Which means you are, confirmed! Princess Elizabeth!" he exclaimed getting shocked looks from the group except for Meliodas.

"Princess Elizabeth? As in the princess of the kingdom?!" the group and Hawk shouted in surprise, while Meliodas just looked curious.

Twigo then said, "There is a search order for you throughout the kingdom. You won't run, will you? The order is for your capture… but nothing can be done if you were killed in an accident."

The group began running into the forest, with Elizabeth shouting, how she can't be captured and that she won't give up.

Twigo then swung his sword in their direction while shouting, "Confirmed! Accidental death!"

Once he swung, he caused the entire forest to be cut down, but everyone was okay except for some scratches and dust with Hawk being the worst with a stick being stabbed into his rump and Meliodas having his left sleeve blown off.

Elizabeth was lying on the ground crying about how she was being saved by a group she didn't know and a man whose name she didn't know. Meliodas than smiled and told Elizabeth, that his name was Meliodas, causing her to be surprised and she along with the rest of the group, all finally noticed the symbol on his arm.

"A-a dragon?" Elizabeth stuttered in shock, with the others being surprised as well.

As she was saying this, Twigo came up to them and swung his sword down on them, causing a huge cloud of dust to appear. Twigo stood there thinking this time he got the group of people, when suddenly he was hit with a blow of strength, blowing him back. He looked up and everyone was surprised to see Meliodas wielding his broken sword in his left hand.

Twigo grew angry at this and began shouting, "You!? You plan on fighting me with that trash!?"

"Trash is just fine." answered Meliodas.

Elizabeth then began asking, "Are you really that Meliodas?"

Twigo was shocked hearing this, "Meliodas?! W... Wait, I remember seeing your face before…! No… If that's the case, then why do you not look any different from before…!?"

Meliodas then stood with his sword ready as if to swing from the right to the left with his knees bent, "Have you figured out… Who I am?"

Twigo got a look of fear and began shouting, "It… It can't be! Truly, you are…" Twigo then swung with all his strength shouting, "YOU AAAAAAAREEE!"

Meliodas then swung his sword out and introduced himself, "Seven Deadly Sins- The Dragon's Sin: Meliodas!"

Twigo was then hit with all of the power that he used when he swung sending him flying. The group and Elizabeth all looked at Meliodas in shock as Meliodas just calmly watched Twigo go flying as he said, "Ohh! He sure went up high!"

He then resheathed the broken sword, turned to Elizabeth and said, "Well, looks like you found the first one… Elizabeth! About the remaining six, I've actually got business with them too, so I've been searching for them as well as of late. I've been using the bar in order to find information about them. If I had a serving girl, then I'd be able to get more customers and more information. You'll come with me… right?"

Elizabeth looked shocked at the offer and smile brightly while exclaiming, "Yes!"

"Actually," a voice said, this earned the attention of Meliodas and Elizabeth who both turned to see the women standing looking at Meliodas with serious looks, "we will be coming along as well."

Meliodas and Elizabeth both grew confused, "Why?" asked Meliodas.

Then Naruko stepped forward and said, "Because we have been looking for the sins, in order to see if they would help us find someone."

Elizabeth then decided to ask, "Who are you looking for?"

Kushina answered this time, "We're looking for my son. He was mistakenly banished from our village by my ex-husband simply because of something that he held and for false charges. We want to find him and bring him back home."

"Why do you think we would be able to help you?" asked Meliodas with a curious yet serious face.

"Because we received information that the Fox's Sin of Greed, Ban, has the last known location of my son, Naruto." replied Kushina.

This caused Meliodas to go wide-eyed as he then answered, "I know that name."

Everyone looked at him in surprise, "You know Naruto!?" asked the group of kunoichi.

Meliodas nodded his head, "Yeah, Ban used to talk about that name all the time. He told us stories about many adventures that he said were told to him by Naruto."

The group grew extremely happy, knowing that they now had a solid lead, "So can we come with you?" asked Tenten.

Meliodas just smiled and nodded his head saying, "Sure, I think it'll be fun and amazing to help you guys out. Besides, one or two of you became serving girls as well, and can help cook, that'll also let us get more information."

Suddenly, a giant green pig appeared and everyone noticed the Boar Hat on its' back along with Hawk, who had run away earlier.

"Nice timing Hawk's mom!" exclaimed Meliodas, and then he and everyone else climbed on Hawk's mom. With this everyone looked forward, all of them ready to continue their journey, Elizabeth and Meliodas to find the other seven sins and the group of kunoichi to look for Naruto but decided to help Elizabeth along the way. None of them knew what was in store for them but they all knew one thing; no matter what happens on this journey, it was going to be one HELL of an adventure.
