Alright guys so I just read a couple of Naruto x Persona stories on here and having played the game some two odd years ago and loving the fuck out of it I figured I'd give it a shot. I don't know if it'll continue, that'll be dependent on if you guys like it or not. Just some things to keep in mind, for this story Sae will be 27. We don't know her actual age only that she's in her early 20s but for the sake of the story she'll be ten years older than Makoto. Anyways I hope you guys enjoy.

It was another rainy day in Tokyo. All around the citizens of Japan's capital hurried to the nearest shop for shelter or even underground to the nearest line. Other more unfortunate people who had somewhere to be that wasn't far enough to warrant a train ride used their brief cases as makeshift umbrellas as they scurried to their destinations. It was just another regular sight for the common resident. There was one person amidst the hustle that was far from common.

Standing under an extended roof of a nearby shop was a blond man of about 5'10". He has short blond hair that spikes up in multiple directions. He wore a white T-shit underneath a black sports blazer with matching slim pants and shoes. On his left wrist sat a nice silver Seiko watch. The mans name is Namikaze Naruto, the twenty seven year old only son of the late entrepreneur couple Namikaze Minato and Kushina.

The two were killed when he was younger when a man went into a bank and shot the place up before being gunned down. The police reported that the man was a former veteran who began having mental issues shortly after returning from service. After the incident he was forced to live with his godparents Jiraiya and his wife Tsunade in Shibuya. They raised him from that point onwards, not having kids of their own they treated him like the son they never had and he'd be forever thankful. That's the reason he sends them money every now and then to help with their expenses even though they say it's not necessary.

Naruto blinked when the feeling of his phone vibrating in his left pocket finally registered. He fished it out quickly hoping the caller wouldn't give up.

"Hello?…Yeah I just finished a meeting I only have one more thing to do today, do you think I could trouble you for two more hours? I'll be sure to compensate you for the extra time…thank you you're a life saver. Ok see you then. Goodbye." Putting the phone back in his pocket he glanced up towards the big jumbo screen where the hottest news was being reported.

A video of the famous artist Ichiryusai Madarame was displayed on screen for all to see. The man was admitting to pupil abuse as well as taking credit for others work. The man was in tears as he bowed and apologized to everyone present.

"Hmm, that's the second one whose had an abrupt change of heart. These phantom thieves…" A small smile graced his face "have access to the metaverse." He thought in wonder. "I can't wait to meet them." After checking his watch he walked off to an area with less people. Glancing around to make sure the coast was clear he pulled his phone out and scrolled through his apps until he came to the folder he was looking for. Tapping the screen he scrolled twice until he came across a red app with a black eye in the center. "Time to go to work" He said to himself as he tapped the icon. The people around him none the wiser of what he was doing.

Two hours later

"Please don't kill me I'll give you anything you want I swear." An older looking man begged in fear and pain as a foot applied pressure to his head. At a quick glance one would think he was an ordinary older man, however upon closer inspection they'd see his skin pale as well as glowing yellow eyes. The smoke being emitted from his body only adding to the fact that he wasn't normal.

"Misuse of public funds huh. Private vacations, expensive pieces of art, dinners costing more than 300,000 yen. I'm surprised you didn't tell me there was a mistress somewhere in there." Naruto recited as he applied a little more pressure on the mans head. "Is that all or is there more?"

The man, or rather the shadow of the man squirmed in pain as more pressure was applied to his head. "No that's all I promise" The shadow sighed in relief as the weight on his head was finally lifted, though he didn't try standing up less he face the mans wrath again.

"Very well, thank you for the information Masuzoe." He called out as he began walking away. As he walked through the halls of the luxurious mansion the politician saw the Toyko Metropolitan government building as multiple shadows popped into existence in front and behind him. They took the form of well dressed business men who wore faceless masks.

"Stop right there. Get him" One yelled before they melted into puddles. The puddles began to ripple as multiple monster like beings emerged from the waters.

The blond glanced at them, his face showing nothing but annoyance at having to deal with low level shadows. "Kurama" He called out. The shadows took a step back as a giant dark orange fox with nine tails appeared behind the man. It barred its fangs them, daring anyone to try and attack. "Well? Weren't you going to get me?" He questioned mockingly.

"Zio!" One of them yelled as it raised its arms up. Up above yellow lighting struck down aiming at the lone man. As the lighting gathered around him it simply disbursed leaving him without a scratch. Soon after each of them tried their own magic attacks none of which did any real damage.

"Well you had one chance and you wasted it. Should've stayed out of my way." Behind him Kurama pointed six tails, one at each enemy and began gathering energy at the tips. In seconds six small purple orbs were hovering in place, waiting to be used. "I'll give you a chance. Give me all the money you have and I'll let you live. Try and fight and I'll just erase you."

He didn't know how it was possible but they began sweating before throwing stacks of bills at his feet. Their hands were raised in surrender and they jumped backwards disappearing into the air. Behind him the fox snorted in annoyance as it released the technique and disappeared into light particles.

The blond shook his head as he picked up the stacks of 10,000 yen. While those shadows were decent compared to weaker people, against his persona they were but ants. Persona's are the manifestation of ones personality. He wasn't sure why but when he awakened his power all those years ago he soon discovered he had access to multiple. Each stronger than the last.

His most powerful took the form of a giant nine tailed fox. He was pleasantly surprised to find out it could talk and was kind of a smart ass when it wanted to be. Normally that would annoy him but seeing as it was his strongest and was a big reason he got so much money he put up with it.

"60,000 yen. Not bad." He said as he finished counting the money on his way out. Once outside he pulled his phone out and tapped on the same red icon that he used to get here.

"Now exiting the metaverse. Thank you for your work" A voice from the app recited. Around him red rings manifested that began moving in an almost hypnotic fashion before disappearing. The surrounding area also changed back into the dreary city streets he was previously in. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw the time. Quickly going through his call log he tapped on the most recent.

"Hello…yeah I'm on my way…I'll be there soon." Tapping his pockets he made sure all the money was in there before jogging off. A couple minutes later he arrived at a small apartment complex and walked up the stairs. He walked down the hall until he got to the one he was looking for.

Tapping the door three times he didn't have to wait long before the door opened revealing a young woman. She seemed to be in hear early to mid twenties with light skin and short hair. She wore a yellow shirt with white horizontal stripes along with a denim skirt that reached to her shins. She was a teacher at Shujin academy who he'd learned took odd jobs on the side.

"Kawakami-sensei I hope I didn't inconvenience you." Naruto apologized as he bowed slightly. The woman looked tired and he hoped it wasn't due to him.

She shook her head and waved her arms out in front of her. "No no no it was no problem at all. I actually had no other jobs lined up today so if anything this really helped me out." She said before pouting slightly "And I told you, you can just call me Kawakami. No need for the sensei. Oh excuse me please come in." She told him before moving off to the side.

Thanking her for her hospitality he stepped in and removed his shoes and placed them off to the side before actually stepping further in. She offered him a seat on the couch and offered him a cup of coffee which he politely declined.

"He'll be right out. He just needed to use the restroom." Kawakami told him noticing him looking around the room.

"I hope he hasn't given you too much trouble."

"No not at all, he's a total sweetheart. He even offered to help me with the dishes even though he's not tall enough to see over the counter. He did his homework and then drew a nice little picture." She informed him as she handed him a piece of paper.

On it was a crude stick figure drawing of a yellow man with spikes on his head, which he assumed was him. Next to him was a smaller yellow haired boy whose arm was connected to the taller one. His other hand was connected to another figure, though this one had grey lines on their head flowing downward.

He smiled bitterly at the photo knowing exactly who was who. He looked up when the sound of footsteps was heard coming fast. In a split second a yellow blur crashed into him in the couch. "Oof!"

Regaining his breath he smiled as he looked down to the small blond bundle currently hugging him.

"Hey little man did you miss me?" He asked as he rubbed the boys hair. The young boy nodded at him before taking a seat next to him. Similarly to Naruto he had short blond spiky hair and similar facial features. The only thing that stopped him from being a carbon copy of him was his eyes. Whereas the older blond had blue eyes, the younger one had brown, almost red eyes.

"We're you good with Kawakami-sen… Kawakami?" He asked correcting himself in the process.

"Yeah, I was good." The boy replied happily. "I even finished my homework wanna see?" He asked as he got up to search his backpack.

Chuckling at the boys enthusiasm he shook his head. "Why don't you show me at home. We have to let Kawakami have some time for herself. Go and put your shoes on." The boy looked off put about not being able to show his work but did as he was told.

Standing up Naruto reached into his back pocket and fished out his wallet. He ran his fingers through a few bills counting softly as he did so before pulling them out. "Thank you again for looking after him these past four days. Work has been really hectic.

Here's 30,000." He said giving her three ten thousand yen bills. "And an extra 10,000 for those extra two hours today." He handed her two five thousand yen bills.

Just like two weeks ago she begins explaining how that's too much since it wasn't that much work. He smiled and shook his head. "You've helped look after my son and didn't complain when I needed an extra two hours. Please take it." He waved the money in her direction.

She sighed but accepted the money with a smile. "Thank you so much…" She trailed off looking almost like she was going to cry. He didn't know why that would elicit such a response but figured she really needed it and was trying to be polite by refusing more than the usual amount.

"No worries, now if you'll excuse us. Come on say bye to Kawakami." He told his little boy as he took his hand. Using his free hand the boy waved before using it to cover his mouth to yawn.

"Bye Hajime-kun see you next time. Be good for your dad ok?" She waved at him as they walked off. They had gotten lucky the rain seemed to have stopped for the time being.

A couple days later

"Interesting" the blond thought as he walked down the streets of Shibuya. Everyone was surprised that morning as thousands of calling cards adorned the streets. From small stands to large buildings, calling cards were present. Walking over to a small stand he picked one up and saw the phantom thieves logo on the front. Flipping it around he saw what seemed to be letters cut out of magazines glued together to make a message.

"Sir Junya Kaneshiro, the money-devouring sinner of gluttony. You indulge in scamming others with horrendous methods that target minors exclusively. We have decided to make you confess all your crimes with your own mouth. We will take your distorted desires without fail. From, the phantom thieves." He read quietly to himself.

"They planted these all over Shibuya because he targets everyone. Looks like we'll be meeting sooner than expected. I'll head in tomorrow and see if I can catch them."

Tomorrow couldn't come fast enough. The following day Naruto had once again asked Kawakami if she could look after Hajime after school. She mentioned she had another job that day but told him she'd do it since he paid better.

He now stood in an alley in Shibuya. Making sure the coast was clear he tapped the app. "Kaneshiro, Shibuya, Bank" He spoke smiling as the target was found.

The world distorted once again, the city turned dark with a greenish tint. Walking into the main street he noticed the people were turned into walking ATM machines. Of course a crime boss/ scammer would see people like this. Looking upwards he noticed a giant disk in the sky with a set of stairs leading up to it. "Huh, it's never this easy…" He said to himself as he walked up the path. He stopped and suddenly looked down. Sure enough his clothing had changed. Usually it only changed when people saw him as a threat.

Currently he wore a black short sleeve shirt with black pants. Over his torso was a grey lightweight plate of armor along with grey guards covering his forearms. Finally a white porcelain mask with an upside down red triangle at the top and two thin red lines that stopped just under his eyes adorned his face. It had two eye holes to look out of though from the outside you'd only see black holes.

Continuing his trek he was surprised there was no guards along the stairs. It took him several minutes to reach the top of the stairway. He looked around and frowned as there was no shadows around still. Walking into the bank he noticed what would be a standard lobby was still devoid of security.

He looked around before heading to the left and up a set of stairs. Fortunately for him the deeper he got into the building he did manage to find some grunts to sneak up on. He found that unlike some of the others, these had more money on them than he was accustomed to. "Maybe cuz they work for a mobster" He said to himself.

He continued for another half hour checking every room and making sure to not be caught before he found an elevator. Pressing the button and stepping inside he took it to the highest floor he could. Upon stepping out he found there was a straight path to another elevator. Someone had already been here, he was sure by the way this place was designed that this was a security measure that had already been breached.

As he scoped the place out his ear twitched as he heard the sound of a door opening. He hid himself around a metal wall and peeked around as several figures stepped out of a room.

"The phantom thieves. Huh, they're younger than I expected." He thought as he looked at each of them. He managed to distinguish that their leader was the one with the black and white mask covering his eyes. He looked at all of them including a cat that was speaking in human tongue somehow. His eyes widened however as he looked at the last one.

He knew that short brown hair. He'd seen it plenty of times over the years. "Makoto is a phantom thief." He watched as they took the elevator up, talking amongst themselves as they did so. Waiting a few minutes he walked up to the elevator and clicked the button calling it back down and followed them up.

To his surprise they were already engaged in a battle with the shadow form of Kaneshiro who seemed to be a fly of all things. Not only that but he was also summoning a giant metal pig of all things to help him.

Making sure to keep himself hidden he observed their battle, taking mental notes of what he was seeing. "They have decent power but waste too much energy on their attacks" He whispers to himself. He covered his eyes to stop the blast of wind generated from one of Makoto's attacks and resumed watching.

It took several minutes and a lot of medicine on their part from what he could see but they had managed to get the upper hand. The blond one had thrown something onto the floor which distracted the fly Kaneshiro long enough for them to finally defeat his pig and him.

He couldn't help but shake his head as he heard the pathetic man try to bargain with them to save his skin. He even tried to make himself look like a victim. He was about to reveal himself when he heard the man tell them there's someone else using people's palaces for his own agenda's. That raised some concerns as he wasn't aware of anyone else that could enter the metaverse.

"I'll deal with it later. That's my cue" He walked towards them, his footsteps resonating through the building as he did so. Everyone turned around and all but their leader were on guard.

"Who the hell are you?" The blond one asked.

"It's common courtesy to introduce yourself first isn't it?" Naruto shot back amused. Before the skull wearing thief could retort their leader raised a hand.

"Why don't we deal with Kaneshiro first and then we can talk." Naruto was going to agree and wait before he thought of something else and began walking away.

"Get in contact with me once you leave the metaverse." He said without turning.

"How will we do that if we don't know who you are." Their leader asked.

Naruto smiled behind the mask and turned his head slightly. "Have Makoto get in contact with me and we'll go from there." He pulled his mask aside so that the now frozen young woman could see his face. Once he saw she got a good look he put it back and place and exited the palace.

Later at LeBlanc

"Ok Makoto who the hell was that guy? How did he know who you were even with your costume on?" Ryuji asked in a panic.

While the others wouldn't have asked like that they were also curious and apprehensive about this new player.

"You don't think he'll report us do you?" Ann asked, clearly frightened.

The brown haired young woman frowned in thought before shaking her head no. "If he were to do that he wouldn't have shown me his face. His name is Namikaze Naruto, he's my sisters ex-husband." She revealed.

"Get in contact with him and let's meet him." Ren told her. She nodded and began typing a message.

"Done. Now we wait to see what he wants."

So what did you guys think? I didn't wanna do a 'Naruto takes jokers place' type story so I cooked up something else. Again I don't know if this will be updated regularly as I'd like your feedback to go off of. Though in the event that you guys like it I do have an outline of how it'll play out. As for his son's name I heard it on Beelzebub and liked the name cuz lord knows i wasn't gonna name him boruto. Anyways if you guys have suggestions or comments feel free to leave them in a review or PM me.
