A/N: Well, it's unanimous; DNA Digivolution it is! As such, he will gain this ability once he gains access to the Digiegg of Miracles (kinda obvious why) so until then, he will be unlocking some forms, including more Dark Digivolutions, and I might even make Digivolutions of those. This chapter will introduce another member of Naruto's future harem: Ranamon! Makes sense since they're in Wave Country. Though, this time it won't be a retarded encounter like some Final Fantasy shit (not hating on the franchise, just... "Random Encounter!") Anyway, I'm babbling. (I do that a lot)

Let's begin

"Okay, so... what the heck was that?!" Naruto yelled towards the Kyuubi and LadyDevimon he managed to bring into his mindscape.

"You mean Typhoonmon or Malicemon?" LadyDevimon asked.

"Akuimon." Naruto corrected/answered, wondering why she called them that.

"Your language, my language, they mean the same thing. Anyway, apparently when you saw your friends 'dead,' you attained Dark Digivolution and became him, in turn awakening the tyrant Malicemon in the Digital World." LadyDevimon explained.

"You won't be able to control him until you train with him in here, so don't even try." Kyuubi reminded him.

"I don't wanna train as him! Did you see what he did?! He killed Haku! And almost killed my friends! And for the few minutes I spent as him, my mind was clouded by hatred and anger, just wanting to kill everything to stop the hate..." Naruto became quiet at the end.

"What stopped you?" Lady asked.

"Huh?" Naruto asked back, not understanding.

"What stopped you from killing them, and everyone else?" She explained.

Naruto was quiet for a while, thinking hard about it. "...My friends... Sakura-chan, Kiba, Kakashi-sensei, Tazuna who became kinda like the drunkard uncle no one mentions in the family..." Naruto chuckled a bit at that part. "...and you, Lady-chan." Naruto added, blushing as he turned his gaze to LadyDevimon, who blushed uncharacteristically as well.

"If you think about your friends, you can fight for control of Akuimon and you can use his form at your leisure." Kyuubi interrupted the conversation, chuckling to himself at his containers and his newest friends embarrassment.

"...I'm really gonna have to use him sooner or later, aren't I?" Naruto asked.

Both LadyDevimon and Kyuubi nodded. "When I was coming into the Real World, I sensed several other entities coming in, as well. I sensed several malevolent signatures coming in, as well as some friendly ones. I actually sense one of them nearby right now. From what I remember, there were four signatures I recognized as my friends. The nearest one is Ranamon. She is a water witch, and she seems to have been injured and washed ashore." The former explained, sounding happy to hear her friend was nearby.

Naruto nodded and exited the mindscape, only to be grabbed by the real LadyDevimon in a hug once they regained consciousness, the attractive digital being laying a kiss on his cheek, causing him to blush. "Wh-what was that for?" He asked.

LadyDevimon, shifting into her human form, merely winked at him and got up and left the room, putting an extra sway in her hips. Naruto merely stared at her behind, transfixed and blushing crimson, but snapped out of it and followed her, intent on helping her find her friend, this apparent 'Ranamon.'

After about half an hour of searching the coast of Nami no Kuni, they found what LadyDevimon exclaimed was indeed Ranamon. Aside from the bruises, miniscule cuts that already seemed to be healing, and a couple scrapes, she was quite attractive. With her eyes closed, Naruto couldn't tell the color, but he saw three lines from her left eye that reminded him of his jii-san's 'makeup.' He didn't know if that was the right word for those lines, as they didn't run in the rain, but they seemed too weird to be natural. Who was he to talk, with his whisker marks? Anyway, she had a sort of aquatic-green skin pigment and on her head was some odd helmet that looked like someone put a large flower bud on their head, the tip curling a bit. It was predominantly a light blue, with dark blue at the edges and making some wave designs and around the red gems in each 'petal' of the helmet. Fin-like frills grew out the back of her head, matching ones sprouting from her hips. She wore a leotard with leggings that reached just below her knees and no sleeves, odd gauntlets on her forearms and covering her hands save for her fingers shaped like tear drops, the tips parallel to her biceps and curling at the ends. Her odd dress had a tear drop-shaped hole around her naval and an upside-down one on each inner thigh. On the knees of her clothing was a dark blue tomoe shape with a red gem in the center. She wore thick ankle bracelets and was barefoot, her feet from behind the toes forward a darker shade of green.

'She's kinda cute...' Naruto thought, his cheeks tinting a light pink. He shook his head before his mind wandered and helped LadyDevimon carry her into the house. After they laid her down on the couch, Naruto sat in a nearby chair and closed his eyes, having received a set of memories from some clones he sent with his teammates to stand guard for Tazuna as the builders finished the bridge, the clones going to the side and training in his digital forms. At first, they unlocked some form of pseudo-transformation, unlocking the ability to transform parts of their bodies into the chosen Digimon, like some acquiring Ryukomon's gauntlets or Ankamon's creature-carrier arm. They then began training in the full forms, finding the two mentioned forms could turn into their respective elements and fly around. Koronimon had some sort of optical spell he could cast on the earth to change whatever earth or rock he chose into mud, allowing the creation of larger weapons like he made from his horns. They also found that Sosokamon could stretch his limbs by turning the space between them into electricity. They also found Taifumon could fly with his steel wings, even though they didn't move, and they worked on various weapons that could be formed from the plates/blades.

His eyes snapped open at the last memory; Kakashi was asking for him to come, that a last contingent of Gato's thugs had appeared to avenge their meal ticket, but a mysterious figure appeared and defeated all his friends. Thankfully no one was dead, but the urgency remained, so he rushed downstairs, bringing LadyDevimon with him, leaving a legion of clones to protect Ranamon and Tazuna's family in case another contingency of Gato's ex-men repeated the first pair of samurai's attempts to take them hostage. Asking why she needed to be brought along, Naruto explained how a mysterious figure defeated his friend, and he had a feeling it was one of the malevolent presences she sensed when she came into the human world.

Being a Digimon of her nature, LadyDevimon sensed the negative human emotions in the air on their way towards the bridge, one particular trait increasing to almost suffocating levels as they got there, a trait shared by Gato: Greed. She didn't want to jump to conclusions, but she had a sinking feeling she knew who this figure was that attacked Team 7. On their way there, Naruto transformed into Ankamon, planning to use the water under the bridge and the perpetual mist to his advantage. When they landed on the other side of the bridge, LadyDevimon gasped in shock and horror.

"Barbamon..." She whispered fearfully.

"Barbiemon?" Ankamon questioned jokingly, only to stop snickering under LadyDevimon's intense gaze.

"No. Barbamon. He's one of the Seven Demon Lords, those who represent the human Sins; he is Greed. Only makes sense he'd be around Gato's work." She explained.

Ankamon looked to the supposed Barbamon, and agreed with himself that this Barbamon was indeed an intimidating figure. A daunting height bordering on insane, towering over Kakashi and Zabuza when he was alive, his grey skin was hidden under a poncho-like cloak, starting with a purple scarf around his neck, to the poncho being black about halfway down, with this necklace of large rubies in golden clasps with shamanistic feathers hanging off them going around the poncho, the lower halves design a row of triangles like stereotypical sharp jaws, the top triangles orange, the bottom black, with purple trim above and below them. Granted, most of the poncho was obscured by the man's giant grey beard that reached just below his knees, the very top of the beard hidden under the golden bird mask he wore on his face, with the glaring eyes a deep crimson, his pointed grey ears framing the mask, each having two large gold earrings. From what could be made out from under the poncho, the aged man was muscular, though his forearms were covered in thick, golden bangles, his grey skin given a quality like the dead, as he had several rings with variously colored spheres on them on his fingers, which ended in large, clawed grey-purple nails, his right hand grasping a wooden staff with rings of metal with spikes around them, topped off with a demonic skull holding a large red orb in its jaws, the bottom tipped with a spike. From his back grew six, red medium-sized bat wings, also covered by his enormously grown hair that reached the same length of his beard, behind his legs, leading to his rather normal looking green-grey baggy pants and red boots with black threads forming an 'X' across them.

"...Guy needs a haircut." Ankamon commented. This time, he ignored LadyDevimon's intense gaze, and opted to stare down the elder Digimon.

"I see the rumors were true; a human has unlocked the ability to become a Digimon, coinciding with the revival of several powerful figures in the Digital World. The latest arrival of Malicemon was truly amusing; he went on a bloody rampage, slaughtering as many Digimon as he wanted until he got bored and retreated to his kingdom. I always liked him." Barbamon commented upon seeing Ankamon and sensing the combined energy of Digimon and human, his voice sounding disturbingly like a demonized Sandaime Hokage, unnerving Naruto slightly inside Ankamon. Shrugging it off, Ankamon prepared to fight. "I see you plan to stop me. But can you, human, even if you can turn into Digimon? We shall see." Barbamon questioned as he sent his mind-controlled minions that used to be Gato's henchmen to fight the humans and LadyDevimon.

"Tazuna-san, please return to your house! This is going to be a war. We... apologize in advance for any damage that may happen to your bridge." Kakashi advised Tazuna, sweat dropping near the end.

"If my bridge is destroyed, I'll take it out of your hides!" Tazuna yelled as he ran home with his workers, leaving Team 7 plus LadyDevimon to fight off the controlled goons and Barbamon.

"Kiba, Sakura, do you think you're ready to fight these men?" Kakashi questioned of his genin.

"Definitely!" They answered together, Sakura tightening her gloves and Akamaru jumping from under Kiba's hood.

"Then lets go!" Kakashi ordered as everyone jumped forward to meet the thugs halfway.

Ankamon attempted to head straight for Barbamon, but the human thugs kept getting in the way, so he had to take them all down before making his way to the mastermind. Bashing in faces with his scaled - and metal/bone - fists, manipulating water to toss thugs over the edge into the water below, trip them up, or make them pass out from drowning with water bubbles, and sending Ikimono to cause some good ol' chaos.

Sakura was wasting thugs with her monstrous strength and throwing them around with water jutsu, Kiba supplementing with Inuzuka and earth techniques, Kakashi easily bringing down thugs with his superior skills as a Jounin and the famed Sharingan no Kakashi, and LadyDevimon batting away humans with her claw or scorching some with her bats of darkness.

Within half an hour, all the thugs were defeated, and that just left Ankamon, Barbamon, and LadyDevimon; however the fair lady decided to stay out of this fight to truly test Naruto's abilities against someone of Barbamon's caliber. If he's here, then the other Demon Lord Digimon should be as well. They would be a true test of Naruto's abilities with his digital powers.

"So it's just you and me, child? How cliché. But so be it." Barbamon resigned himself.

"Don't act so sure of yourself. I might not know everything about Digimon or how these powers work, but I can learn and I'm ready to kick your ass." Ankamon snapped back, swinging his anchor like a bolo.

Barbamon chuckled at his eagerness to fight him. "Why fight me..." He began, disappearing in a blur and appearing with Ankamon's guard, holding his anchor back with one hand, the other glowing an evil black. "...when you can fight yourself?" He finished, slamming his darkened palm into Ankamon's stomach, causing a transformation within the fishman-like digimon.

"Ugh! What... what did you do to me?!" Ankamon questioned, dropping his anchor and holding his stomach as the darkness spread across his body from the contact point, changing him. He came to a disturbing realization when he recognized this feeling. "Dark Digivolution..." He whispered as he, and the area they were fighting in, exploded into darkness.

Barbamon's chuckle grew into a nefarious laughter. "Now... arise, Abyssmon." He said under his breath as the darkness absorbed him.

In the heart of the shadows arose a new form, the dark transcendence of Ankamon, into Fuchimon. Being a Demon Lord, Barbamon could see clearly in the darkness, as he gazed upon his changed opponent.

Skin as black as midnight, eyes an eerie dark blue that somehow glowed against the obsidian skin, a bulb of light dangling from a stalk on his forehead, as a line of segmented white formed where his mouth would be, only for said line to snap open, showing a bottomless maw of teeth surely too large for his head, yet there they were. Slowly, more white shapes formed along his body, becoming the skeletons of several deadly creatures that lived in the abyss in the depths of the oceans; anglerfish on his shoulders, eels down his arms and legs, various other unidentifiable, but still disturbing, undersea creatures, as well as bone-like imitation of a giant squid on his back.

"Ahh, Abyssmon, scourge of the oceans. You hunt deadly Seadramon for sport and terrorize other Digimon who cross your waters. Truly, it is nice to see you again." Barbamon said with false nostalgia.

Fuchimon merely roared/screeched at him as his body began to blend with the darkness he cast, the carious carapaces acting as armor coming to life and 'swimming' through the darkness like their abyssal origins, heading straight for Barbamon.

"Greedy Wand!" Barbamon attacked with his staff, tossing aside an angler skeleton as it attempted to take a bite out of his head. Turning to another group of fish skeletons attempting to flank him, he raised his hand. "Dark Inferno!" His hand caught on fire with black flames, the obsidian fire attacking them and scattering them to pieces, only for them to reform. "You are quickly becoming a nuisance, boy." He drolled. HIs masked eyes widened at the reply he received.

"Too... bad..." A rasping whisper came from behind him, shocking him that the boy kept some form of consciousness through this form so much that he didn't block the attack, and was thrown into the ground before him, as the darkness had destroyed all semblance of the environment, an empty void of nothing, including obstacles. Abisumon reformed the rest of his body, staring at Barbamon, as Naruto seemed to have control over this form. Perhaps he had control because this was forced instead of 'natural' through intense emotion and he was blind with said emotion. But Barbamon was right; he would have to fight to maintain control.

He grabbed his head as another wave of dark feelings pulsed through him. 'So dark... so cold... I'm drowning. Drowning, drowning... Why is it so cold?" He thought as the dark hold was tightening around his mind.

'Naruto! Keep control! You had control then and you can have control now! Just tell yourself why you have these powers!" Kyuubi reminded Naruto, breaking him from his downward spiral of darkness.

'Why I have these powers... Why do I? I remember! My friends... my precious people. I have these powers to protect them. Because I have these, people like him are coming. But people like Lady-chan are coming, too... I have these powers to protect them! I must protect them! I will!' Naruto reminded himself with conviction, as a blue light formed on his dark chest, a familiar symbol appearing. When the light died down, the symbol of Reliability was formed, showing he had complete control on the now ex-Dark Digivolution. "On your feet, old man. Lets get serious now!" Fuchimon snapped at Barbamon, seeing the old man was still on the ground, on all fours.

During Naruto's inner monologue and self-discovery, Barbamon was beside himself with this newest upset. The boy wasn't supposed to be able to conquer the darkness in his heart; he was supposed to go mad and listen to his whims so he could sic him on his allies and friends like a rabid dog. But he somehow learned to fight the darkness and now had the upper hand. He could only see through the darkness because his opponent wasn't using it to the maximum effect, but now that he was completely conscious of thought, he could overpower the darkness and cloud his sight. However, hearing him address him in such a way lit a fire under Barbamon and reassured him he would win. "Very well, boy, if you wish to die, then I shall oblige you!" He answered, standing back up. "Since you seemed to have fought the evil of Dark Digivolution, Death Lure will have no affect on you. That just leaves me with this! Pandemonium Lost!" He yelled, snapping his fingers as the energy of his home in the Digital World, the Dark Area, concentrated in the dark space they inhabited and exploded violently, rocking the very earth. His attack proved fruitless, however, when the darkness remained, showing that Fuchimon wasn't destroyed by the explosion. Indeed, the dark figure of his opponent formed in front of him and a line formed from the corners of his mouth and traveled all the way to either side of his waist, perfectly framing the lower jaw of a giant Anglerfish he wore on his torso, his chest snapping open, showing it was a massive jaw connected to his relatively small upper jaw, as he attempted to swallow Barbamon whole. The aged Digimon dodged, however, and sent another Dark Inferno into the gaping maw, hurting the creature and forcing it to snap its mouth shut, as well as dispersing his 'parts' to the void, the skeletons swimming around lazily.

Until the giant squid came out of seemingly nowhere and bashed its mantle into Barbamon, sending him flying in the darkness. The various skeletons began to swarm the airborne Digimon, bashing him about. As he caught his breath and nursed his wounds, Barbamon heard Abisumon's voice in the darkness. "This was your mistake, old man; coming to my world, threatening my precious people, and attempting to corrupt me. Do you know who you're fucking with?" He asked.

Barbamon scoffed. "A miserable human who thinks he can take on the world because he can turn into a couple of monsters." He answered.

"Wrong." Fuchimon responded. From the darkness came Naruto, his fist glowing with chakra. "I'M NARUTO, YOU OLD SHIT!" He yelled as he buried his fist in the aged digimon's face, shattering his mask and sending him flying into a tree, the darkness surrounding them fading. "And you made the mistake of threatening the people I love, and for that you'll pay! I'm gonna give you a treat, old man; before I came here, my clones unlocked a little something for me." He said, quickly turning into Ryukomon, a sphere of data surrounding his right fist. "Burn with me." He finished darkly.

From the other side of the bridge, all Team 7 could see was fire. A great towering inferno that pierced the heavens, the ungodly screams of their otherworldly opponent somehow overlapping the screaming flames. After almost a minute of the embers reaching through the clouds, they suddenly stopped, the oppressive heat disappearing almost immediately. From the mist came Naruto, a grim frown on his face. "Naruto, what happened?" Kakashi asked, worried for his student.

"I beat Barbamon." He answered simply, seemingly lost in thought.

"How? All we saw was fire. I didn't know Ryukomon could create a towering inferno." He inquired.

"...He can't." Naruto simply responded as he walked passed his teammates and headed back to Tazuna's house to tell him he was safe and it was okay to complete the bridge, the consequences of his actions weighing heavily on his mind.
