Naruto helped Billy walk back to Demonspire, the walk was slow and difficult for the man but he didn't complain too much. The sun was already going down and the temperature dropped to a comfortable level, making the trip bearable.

Billy had told him how he came to find Maggie, how he had been scaving in Wave and heard gunshots. When he arrived, he found a young man on the ground with a small crew of raiders dead around him. The young man had asked him to find his little sister at their home and protect her before dying from blood loss, and being the kind of man he was, Billy did as he was asked. He found the home nearby and found the girl crying under the bed, her mother's corpse on top.

"She was a tough little girl too." Billy laughed weakly, "Kicked me hard in the leg when I tried to help her."

Naruto looked down and gave a small, sad smile, "Just like her father,"

"You know her dad?" Billy questioned.

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, but he doesn't deserve to be called her father, he left her mother just a few days after Maggie was born."

"Does he even know?"

"The sad thing is..." Naruto started, "He does, but she's better off without that monster in her life."

"She had on a necklace when I found her, was that her mothers?"

Naruto looked at him, "Was it a large ring with small indention's on each side?"

Billy nodded.

Naruto shook his head, "No, it was the only thing her father ever really gave her before he disappeared. It was very important to both her mother and father."

When they reached the gates of Demonspire, they were met by Lucas Simms who quickly rushed over and helped drag Billy to the Doctor.

Doc Church quickly had him put on the table and patched up quickly as possible. But as Naruto had told him, Billy's eye was far too damaged and he'd have to wear an eye patch for the rest of his life.

After paying the bills, Billy promised to quit scaving, at the threat of his leg being broken by Naruto, and he quickly got a job with Lucas as his Deputy and a part time job repairing pipes for Walter.

It was late at night after everything had been taken care of and Naruto retired to his humble home to go to sleep, planning on going to see Moira the next day to help finish up the book.

Opening the door, he was greeted by the sight of a lovely redheaded seductress laying on his bed with the sheets covering her body.

Her clothing littered the floor and she gave him a sexy wink patted her rear through the sheet. "I've been waiting for you big boy,"

Naruto cocked his head to the side and smirked, 'Who say's that a good deed goes un-rewarded?"

The sun was down and the ninjas had set up camp by a broken radio antenna, which had fallen to the side and gave them somewhat of a roof. Everyone was doing their own thing while listening to GNR and waiting for their meal.

The small campfire popped and crackled, the soft red light from the flames lighting everything up. Shizune had looked trough the ruins around Naruto's apartment and had found a small tarp. it was dirty and torn but she had kept it. Now it was slung over the tower in case of rain.

"Anko, I'm worried about Hinata," Kurenai whispered to her friend.

Anko looked to the woman then her student, who had fallen asleep while watching the moon. "What'cha mean?"

"She's always looking at the moon and hardly talks," The red-eyed beauty said.

Anko waved it off, "She's probably just having a hard time adjusting, we did live underground for years,"

Kurenai frowned, "I hope that's all,"

Unknown to her, adjusting to the sudden changes wasn't the complete problem.

Hinata looked around, her body floating above the landscape. "W-were am I?" she asked. Looking down she saw a man running for his life. He had matted white hair and wore a dirty black shirt with a pair of matching pants with kneepads. He screamed for help as he ran until a loud gunshot went off.

Hinata jumped and screamed as his left leg separated from his body, making him fall and slide a little ways on the hard ground. Looking behind him, Hinata saw another person walking over while reloading another one of those strange weapons like that hunter had.

He had on a black trench coat with a hood over his head, a pair of goggles over his eyes and a face mask over his mouth.

The man whimpered in pain as he tried to pull himself away, leaving a small trail of blood from his stump of a leg.

"Mercs like you give guys like me a bad name." the hooded man said as he walked up. "Talon company scum, your no better then raiders, only more organized,"

The talon merc grunted and then screamed as the man stomped on his nub.

"I may be considered the Harbinger of war but I do not do what you do to children." The weapon went off and the man found himself without a cock. "It takes a sick man to molest children,"

Another gunshot echoed and the mans head exploded, leaving a bloody smear and chunks of brain and bone on the ground.

Hinata awoke to her sensei shaking her.

"Hinata, wake up, it's time to eat," Kurenai said.

Hinata sat up and rubbed her eyes, 'Another dream?'

The next morning was similar to the others; wake up to a note from Nova thanking him for the fun, warm up something to eat, get dressed, then set out for that days adventure.

Today would be the last day he stayed in Demonspire, he would help Moira with some of her book, talking to her about how he survived during his travels while she recorded them. He was all for helping her but he had to draw the line at breaking his arm or leg so that she could experiment on him. He had already gave her a quick summery of how he navigated the minefield and finding food at that old supermarket.

"Oh hi Naruto!" Moira greeted as he walked in. "Just taking inventory so what's up. Here to help with the Wasteland Survival Guide?"

He nodded.

Moira grinned excitedly, "Oh that's great," she cheered while clapping her hands, "I'll get my stuff,"

She walked around her shop, gathering her papers and her recorder, probably on of the few still in working condition, before dragging him off to the side where she forced him down on the couch and pulled another chair in front of him as well as a small, rusty table.

"Ok, please tell me what you did during the Fallout."

Naruto got comfortable, "Well..."

"During the first year, the radiation quickly killed everything, it even blocked out the sun and covered everything in a greenish haze, almost like a thick fog in the early morning. In a matter of days the grass and leafs wilted and blackened. After a few weeks those without the slight immunity that some had died and those with it slowly started rotting. The poor souls that are now known as Ghouls. I've always had a strong immunity to demon chakra and it rivals that of the super mutants. Maybe a old bloodline from my family that i've never noticed of something but it really doesn't matter now."

Moira wrote some quick notes while he spoke into the small microphone, "If your immune to the radiation, could your blood be studied to hopefully find a cure?"

Naruto nodded, "In theory it could, but any equipment needed to study DNA and blood was ruined or lost,"

"Well tell me how you lived during the early years,"

Naruto laughed, "Early years... it's only been a few years since the world fell into ruin but it seems so long ago. I traveled the world, any ties I had before were lost so nothing tied me to one place. For too long at least. But even before the fallout I was pretty good at taking care of myself and surviving on what I had. The first thing I really had to do was to find something to protect myself, guns were a relatively new thing at the time and each country had just started to make their own. Assault rifles in Iron, Snipers in Kumo, Iwa was modifying stolen rifle plans and mass producing them, even Spring/Snow was getting into it, taking fuel and grease from the new trains to make flame throwers, they even made missile launchers.

"What about Konoha?" Moira questioned.

Naruto shrugged, "I really don't know, I was banished from the village at the time. But knowing how they worked, I wouldn't be surprised if they stole plans from every country and were trying to outdo every other country,"

" After having something to protect yourself, either it be a gun, knife, or even a sharp stick, the next thing is shelter to keep the things creeping around at night from finding themselves a late night snack. Usually a fire can scare the smaller things away, animal instincts tell them to keep away. But a shack is the best option, the smoke from a fire won't attract attention and it'll keep you out of the elements. Then there's food, water, and meds, it's pretty basic. Hunt, barter, scave, there's many ways to find what you need.

"What about Raiders or Super Mutants?"

"Just like Three-dog say's on his show, If you got the guns and the guts, kill them all. Super Mutants are twice as dangerous and need twice the caution, use your head."

Moira smiled and clicked the button, stopping the recorder, "That should be all, thanks for the advice and history, I'll make sure to add you as my Survival Guru whenever I find me a new research assistant to finish my research."

Naruto leaned back on the light green couch, "Well good luck with that, don't get me wrong, I don't mind helping but I'm not breaking my arms or legs for you to play amateur doctor on, nor am I going get myself radiated to the point where I can be my own night light,"

"Aww, but that would be so cute!" Moira sighed dreamily.

Naruto snorted, "Yeah, walk around with my thing looking like a glow stick. Besides, I'm immune to it remember?"

"Oh yeah..."

"Anyway Moira, I need to buy some supplies," the blond says while standing up.

"Another job?" the redhead questioned.

He shook his head, "No, I'm leaving Demonspire, maybe head to the capital of Fire country."

"Aww, your leaving?" Moira said sadly, making naruto nod his head, "Oh well, it's a big wasteland out there, but I'm sure you already know that, So is there anything in particular you need?"

"Besides shells for my Sawed-Off and some Stimpaks, just a few bottles of purified water, I got the rest at home."

The pair went downstairs, passing the sleeping mercenary that Moira had hired to protect her shop during the day and to the counter. She went over to the lockers where she kept her wares and opened one of the lower doors before bending over and fishing out a pair of red boxes with green sides and a metal case with the first-aid symbol on it. She muttered and mumbled while going through the rusty metal box.

Naruto leaned on the counter and watched, his eyes on the rear of her jumpsuit. The Rob Co. jumpsuit, uniform of the company to make Golems before the fallout, hugged her ass in a strangely erotic fashion, The way her ass shook side to side as she searched the lockers seemed to call to him, pleading for him to grab a big ass hand full.

Naruto stopped and took a sniff, the room smelt like chemicals as always but two more smells made themselves known, One he was very familiar with, a mix of musk and vanilla, the next was rarer but not unknown to him.

Silently creeping around the counter, Naruto stood right behind her and put a hand on her hip, making her stand up straight in an instant. Pulling her back, he pressed his crouch into her rear and then used his other hand to pull her into his chest.

"Ant Queen Pheromones?" Naruto asked breathing in her scent, "Are you trying to seduce me my dear?"

The sometimes absent minded woman moaned, only to have Naruto put his hand over her mouth. "Shh, not too loud, you'll wake that Merc up." he whispered into her ear in a husky voice.

Sarah Lyons grunted as she climbed over a pile of rubble with her laser rifle slung over her sholder. Why they had to set up their headquarters in not only the most dangerous areas of the wasteland, but most of the streets were blocked by fallen buildings, meaning that you climbed over them or used one of the tunnels. Sadly for her, the tunnels only went around the capital with only a couple leading out of the city,

Turning and helping one of the pride up the pile of rubble, the heavy gating laser weighing him down, Sarah found herself hoping that the chakra user they were searching for was human and not a demon hiding in human form. From what she had heard about him, he could absorb demonic chakra and somehow contain it so that it wouldn't effect the surrounding people. If he was human, it would mean that there was a possibility of a cure or at least a vaccine against Rad sickness.

"DIIEEEE,"

Sarah cursed as a Super Mutant got the drop on them, She and the other two knights pulled their weapons and shot at the green near seven foot tall hulking man.

The red beams from the chakra weapons made quick work of the lone super mutant and it dropped to the ground with the sledge hammer it wielded failing up and hitting it in the mouth.

"Haha, the bigger they are the harder they fall," the one with the gating laser laughed.

Naruto waved back to Moira who was leaning against the door frame.

"Bye Naruto-kun!" She said happily, despite the sadness she felt that he was leaving and the numbness he caused in her legs. "Come back and visit sometime!"

Naruto waved again, "I'll try,"

Walking back to his home, Naruto started sealing some of his stuff, mainly some of his food and ammo, He wasn't leaving forever so he wasn't taking everything, besides, when he was gone, good old wadsworth would protect against his stuff from thieves. having been outfitted with a flame-thrower and built in turret.

"Going away sir?" said robot asked floating over, his sensors seeing him packing up.

"Yep, gonna go see old three-dog , You know what to do right,"

The robot seemed to nod, "Of course sir, anyone my sensors don't recognize will be dealt with,"

His departure from Demonspire was a quite affair. He stopped by various places to tell some of the people goodbye, the first being Moria, followed by Nova and Billy, then to the church to tell Maggie and Maya that he was leaving.

The little girl hugged him and asked him to come back some time, making him smile and pat her on the head, telling her that he would one day.

It was tougher than he thought, Maggie was the only remaining connection left that he had to Tsunami and Inari, two of the people who welcomed him with open arms after he was banished.

Looking down, he swore that the little girl was replaced by her mother, smiling at him with her eyes closed.

"Hold on," he started while reaching into his trench coat, digging around before pulling out a faded green bundle. He knelt down on his knee and unfolded it to reveal a small cloth bag in the shape of a frog that was worn from age but well cared for.

"Maggie, I want you to hold onto this for me. " he told her as she took it with a look of childish awe. Most children didn't have a lot of choice in what to play with, mostly teddy bears and toy wagons so receiving this new toy was one of the most exciting things ever to the little girl.

She hugged it to her chest and smiled at him, "Thanks Oni-chan!"

He just gave her a sad smile, "Your welcome Maggie... and happy birthday,"

She stopped and looked up, only to see that he was missing, 'How'd he know?'

Naruto stood on a hill facing away from the town as the memory of his shadow clone reached him. Poor little Maggie, she had no idea who her true father was and truth be told, she was better off without knowing. Billy was a much better father and caregiver anyway. Billy would be there for her, always protecting her as best as he could, he on the other hand, was always on the move, usually in danger, and taking part in morally questioning jobs.

Even if he had taken her with him he would never be able to keep her completely safe. The last thing he wanted was for her to become a plaything for some raider on the off chance that they were separated. The amount of trauma she would suffer would be immense, not only because of what those sick things would do to her but the sight of what he would do once he caught up to them. For every second that she cried, he would torture them until they were ready for death, heal them and do it all over again until he got tired and move on to the next one.

Naruto almost looked back but stopped himself, forcing himself to look down at his feet. He couldn't allow himself to look back, he couldn't let himself get attached to the girl. She was a child with a bright light in her eyes that could price your soul, a child who could easily grow up to be a doctor to help people... maybe even help make the world like it use to be.

He couldn't get attached...

For he was a monster, a killer, he was the Villain of the Wastes and he had no right...

Naruto pulled a thin chain necklace from his pocket, it was in the shape of cross that had been cut down the middle. But as he did a small photo fell to the ground, making him scramble to catch it.

The edges were worn and wrinkled from less than careful handling, but he ignored it and looked at the picture, it was of him and Tsunami, who had been carrying Maggie for close to 7 months. She was holding his arm and they were kissing.

He was a monster, he had no right to be a part of her life more than he already was. He didn't deserve to be call her father after leaving them behind. The kyuubi was no longer his biggest secret, it was that he was a pathetic excused of flesh for leaving his newborn child.

He couldn't allow anyone to know, it was his greasiest shame, something that he couldn't bare to let her know until he repented for his mistakes.

He knew what he had to do, he would repay his sin one way or the other. He would make it up to her one way or the other even if she didn't know it... and even if it killed him.

The demonic fallout caused all this and kept most of the world barren and made farming near impossible. So he would use his burden to absorb it all and do what he had to so that the world could begin anew.

He had already taken care of a lot of it, absorbing the larger batches from things like the Spire in Demonspire, all that was really left was the worlds water supply, which meant that he had to find a way to clense the entire worlds oceans.

Replacing the chain and picture, Naruto started walking away, once again leaving his child behind.
