Mission 1: Awaken! Sparda Naruto

"!" Naruto let out a silent scream as the unidentified Kusa kunoichi thrust 'her' hand, empowered by the Gogyō Fūin (Five Elements Sealing Technique), into his stomach. He felt an incredible burning sensation, one of which he had never felt before. He looked up, sending a heated glare towards the snake using 'woman', one that made her give a hollow chuckle in response.

"Ku ku ku," 'she' laughed. But inwardly, 'she' was surprised. 'She' had expected the boy to have passed out after direct contact with the seal. But to still be awake, abet barely, was surprising. This boy was going to be trouble in the future, 'she' could feel it. Not only that, but this boy had managed to somewhat break Sasuke out of his cowardly thoughts. This boy had the ability to sway Sasuke and that was something 'she' could not have if 'her' final plan were to succeed.

"Goodbye, boy," she stated with a smile as she threw him across the branch. He was beginning to fall. Sasuke saw this.

"No, Naruto!" He thought silently. With quick and tact movements, he drew a kunai and threw it in a swift motion. Luck was not in his favor, however, because the kunai missed its mark.

"Naruto," Sakura shouted as he fell to the ground. "This can't be happening!" She gave a silent prayer that Naruto survived. He may have been annoying, but he didn't deserve to die like this. She looked toward the battle ahead and saw the brutality of the battle taking place, with Sasuke on his last legs as it was. Maybe Naruto was the safest one out of all of them.

(With Naruto)

"No! No!" Naruto thought as he stared at the battle raging above him, quickly moving out of view. "This can't be how it ends! I still have dreams to accomplish!" Images of the Sandaime Hokage's hat and the Hokage monument flashed in his mind. "I have to help and be with my friends!" Images of the Sakura, Kakashi, and Sakura flashed through. Pictures of Konohamaru and his friends flashed through. A picture of Hokage-ojiisan appeared. "I won't die! I've got to much left to do!" He let out a scream as he continued to fall.

All of the sudden, he felt a rush of energy hit. The power, it felt so new. It was warm, not like Kyubi's chakra, but something more powerful. It felt as though it was, dare he say it… natural, like it was a part of him and meant for only him. The feeling kept rising. When he felt like it was almost at its peak, the world went dark.

His body continued to fall until it hit the ground below. However, if anyone up above were to look down, they would have saw a white light bathe the area and then complete darkness.

(Unknown Location)

Drip.

Drip.

These were the sounds that the young blue-eyed Genin awoke to. He moved, noticing his hand was in water, but not wet. His clothes also were dry. He moved his head and scanned the room. It was a dull yellow, with red boarders on the walls. He however could not tell if that was the actual boarding or the dull red light that leaked into the room.

Was he alive? He didn't really know for sure. If he was dead, he decided right then that the Shinigami or whatever realm he was in needed a better paint job because he was not spending the rest of eternity in a crap heap. "Well, this sucks," he mumbled to himself.

Bang!

"What the fuck was that?" He slowly stood and began to walk down the corridor. As he walked, he noticed that the hall was kind of eerie. It reminded him of the time he snuck into that R-rated horror movie as a kid. Those guys in the movie were such idiots. They always split up and they always did stuff they shouldn't. They walked down the creepy hall alone and always got killed. They panicked. They got their heads chopped off. They had sex, got stabbed through the back and into the other person. They were really all idiots in his mind.

His inner thoughts were cut off when the corridor he had walked down emptied into a large chamber. The most noticeable thing about the room was the large set of bars in back. The cold steel reflects the light from the room. Behind them was complete darkness. However, what he saw was most surprising. Three men were in the room with him. One was laughing at the other how was lying in the water. The third man was just leaning up against the bars of the cage. As he walked up, he noticed their looks better.

The man that was laughing wore a red coat, the sleeves rolled up to reveal the sleeves of his black under shirt. Said shirt had three buckles in front. He had black fingerless gloves and his silver belt reflected the light in the room. He also had black leather pants and brown and black boots. His face was rugged. His eyes were an icy blue and his hair silver.

The one who was being laughed at was glaring at the laughing man. He wore a purple-blue coat with a strange insignia on the shoulders. Below the coat was a red zip-up hoddie and a navy blue muscle shirt beneath it. On his left hand were two rings. He wore blue pants and black combat boots. His face still had a bit of baby fat. His eyes were also an icy blue and had silver hair. However, his most noticeable feature was his arm. It was red with blue glowing veins present on the arm. All and all, it looked demonic.

The man who was leaning up against the bar looked as though he was tuning out the world. He wore a long blue trench coat with three tail like designs hanging in back. Under it was a dark blue vest and dark blue pants. He also had brown combat boats. His face looked similar to the laughing man's and if he had to guess also had icy blue eyes. Kami-sama, why did they all have icy blue eyes! He too had silver hair, however instead of it being flat like the other two, his hair was brushed back, giving it spikes in back. He kind of looked like a stiff nobleman at first glance.

As Naruto continued to walk, he began to hear more of their conversation.

(With the Men)

"Oh, god!" shouted the man that had stopped laughing. "Kid, you should have seen your face just now!"

"Shut it, you ass!" shouts the 'kid', who was still lying in the water. "You don't ask another person that!"

"What, all I did was ask if the sex was good or not," the man claimed with a shrug. "Christ. It's a yes or no answer, no need for details. Of course, unless you want to share then…" he was cut off by the blushing 'kid'.

"That's exactly what you shouldn't ask! How would you feel if I asked how it was with Trish and Lady?"

"I wouldn't mind. By the way…" he paused "it was great! Especially when they both…"

"Enough," the noble looking one stated simply. Both men turned to look at him. He opened his eyes. They held a sharp gaze. "Our guest has arrived." Both men turned their heads in the direction he was looking and found their guest waiting. The first thing they noticed was the tattered orange jumpsuit. How couldn't they, it was so bright it was the most noticeable thing about him. They then looked to his face and saw it still contained a lot of baby fat. He had three whisker marks on each cheek and had azure blue eyes. He was also tan. Not something they saw every day. He currently had a blush on his cheeks, probably because he heard their wonderful conversation.

They stared at each other, not saying a word. They were basically sizing each other up, forming opinions. The previously laughing man formed a grin and walked forward towards the boy. He got behind him, put his arm around his shoulder, and laughed again. "Well," he finally said, his voice oozing with arrogance, "this is kid is him eh? Not what I expected. Shouldn't he be a badass or something? This kid looks like he wets himself at night." The boy brushed him off and threw his fist into the air, He pointed at the man, who just looked amused at his anger.

"Fuck you!" shouted the boy. "I haven't wet the bed since I was six. And my name isn't kid. It's Uzumaki Naruto Dattebayo! The next Hokage of Konoha." The man just gave amused grin and before Naruto could blink, appeared behind him with his arm once again around Naruto.

"You know, I think I'm gonna like you kid." He then released Naruto and walked back to the other two men. The noble looking man walked away from the bars to join the two others as the other proclaimed 'kid' got off the ground. The three stood beside one another. He spoke up again. "Well, I guess should tell you my name as well. Name's Dante, Dante Sparda." The 'kid' spoke next.

"I'm Nero," he stated simply. "Sorry about before, but as I'm sure you're already aware, Dante is an ass!" A grin was Dante's response. The noble looking man sighed, looking as though he had had enough with the other two. Finally he spoke.

"And I am Vergil Sparda," he stated with a regal tone. Naruto just stared on.

"Well that's good and all," Naruto said simply. I mean he really didn't care. They were dead anyway. "So, where are we? Heaven, Hell, Limbo maybe?" The three in front of him looked confused, Vergil included for once. "Come on, were dead aren't we. What is this how you pick on the new guy? Guess which part of heaven or hell you're in?"

Dante and Nero tried to hold, and failed, to hold their laughter back. The kid thought he was dead. Meanwhile, Vergil sighed and rubbed his temple. His brother and distant relative were complete idiots. Taking it upon himself, he decided to tell Naruto the news. "Naruto," he spoke trying to keep composed, "you're not dead."

Naruto just stared for a second. "What, you're lying. I mean, I fell from a Kami knows how high tree to solid ground. Not only that, but I'm in this shit hole."

Dante composed himself enough to speak. "Kid, this supposed 'shithole' is actually your mind." He grinned. "And you're alive, just kind of bashed up right now." Nero stopped laughing as well by now.

"So I'm not dead?" Dante nodded. "Yatta!" Naruto was alive. He could still complete his dreams. He could still… "Wait, if I'm alive, then why the hell are you guys here?" He thought about it for a second. "Wait, is this Kuybi playing a trick!" Shit. Kyubi was probably trying to get him to remove the seal.

To be honest, he had never even tried to have contact with Kyubi. He had thought it not worth the effort. Hokage-ojiisan had told him never to go near Kyubi because he would most likely attempt to trick him into removing the seal. He said that if the seal were to be removed, Kyubi would break free and Naruto would die after he escaped. That was something he could not have.

Before the men could give off a reply however, a load roar stopped them. The roar echoed across the room, causing massive waves. The waves crashed up against Naruto, forcing him back a bit while the three men held their ground. Behind the bars, red eyes with a black silted pupil peered into the room. The creature bared its fanged teeth at them.

"Do not compare me to them," the beast snarled. "I am almighty and they are mere peons! I can crush mountains, create massive tsunami's, just with a swipe of one of my magnificent tails! THEY ARE NOTHING!" The beast let out another ungodly roar.

"'I am almighty and they are mere peons! I can crush mountains with just a swipe of one of magnificent tails! I am blah, blah, blah,'" Dante mimicked, doing an interesting impression of the creature. "Just shut up you overgrown carpet. Don't make me come in there. I'll make you into my new fur skinned rug you jackass." It growled at Dante. Suddenly a massive set of claws hit the cage, as if trying to break out. Dante just turned to Naruto and laughed. "As you can see, that fur ball in there is Kyubi."

"As for who we are, Naruto, that's a different story entirely," stated Nero while crossing his arms. "I guess you could say we are your ancestors." Naruto stared on confused. These guys were his ancestors. Then again, I guess they were. Looking at Dante, he could see where the rebelliousness state of mind had come from. I mean, he was preparing to tell the fuzz butt off, but Dante beat him to it.

"You still haven't answered why you're in my head though," Naruto said, tapping his foot on the ground waiting for a reply. He could believe these guys were his ancestors, no mistake. However, ancestors are supposed to be dead, not in his head. Even he knew that much.

Virgil, for those who knew him, would be surprised if they had seen the smile on his face. Straight to the point, he liked that. At first he had thought this boy was going to be completely like Dante based on his first impression, but he had enough sense not to be caught up in the moment. He would definitely do. "We are here," he began, "to talk to you about activating your bloodlines."

Naruto face transformed to one of shock. He had a Kekkei Genkai (Blood Limit). No wait, correction, two Kekkei Genkai. He was someone considered to be a clan less loser because he didn't have any family techniques or anything. Yet, here were his ancestors saying he had a Kekkei Genkai. Only one idea came to mind.

"Ha, take that Sasuke-teme! You've got your precious Sharingan (Mirror Wheel Eye) and you're damned Katon (Fire Release) ninjutsu, but I got two Kekkei Genkai! Take that!" He started doing an embarrassing dance, while shouting things like 'I'm the greatest' and 'take that teme.' Dante and Nero found it amusing honestly. Vergil palmed his face. He had thought to soon. Maybe this would be another Dante. Oh father, help him. Virgil, having enough of this foolishness immediately appeared behind Naruto and snatched him up. He turned Naruto to face him.

"Enough of this foolishness," he declared simply. He glared at Naruto, daring him to try again. "Do you want to know about you're, how did you did you pronounce it, Kekkei Genkai, or not." Naruto shut up. Good. He seemed to have gotten the point. He dropped Naruto into the water and walked back to Dante and Nero. Nero gave him a disapproving glance and Dante, as always, just grinned. He seemed to have that habit down pat as of late. It was probably just to annoy him. He turned to stare back at Naruto, who had just finished removing himself from the ground. He looked expectant.

"Well," Naruto asked, "what are they?"

"Be patient kid," Dante said. "To understand our bloodline, you have to know about its history and know that it isn't exactly a quote on quote 'bloodline'," he made quotation marks with his hands, "but actually who you are. To put it simply, we want to make you into what is called a Half-Devil, like us." Another roar resonated from behind them.

"What, you three are Sparda's kin?" Kyubi, who had been ever silent since his last comment, looked startled.

"Duh," Nero shrugged. "We said that at the beginning you idiot fox. Seriously, you would think with your huge ass ears you could hear what we said very well."

"Watch your tongue!" Apparently Kyubi was offended. "I respect your power and acknowledge that you are stronger than I, but I will not be disrespected." It moved its eyes from Nero to Naruto in one swift motion. "To think, this boy is a descendent of you three and Sparda. Well, now isn't this interesting." If animals could smirk, Naruto was sure that kitsune was.

"Be silent fox and let us continue," Virgil said without turning around to acknowledge the beast. Kyubi silence himself. Naruto was awed by the fact that he silenced Kyubi with just words. He thought the teme would go on and on. "Now, before we talk about the abilities you'll receive as a Half-Devil, its better if we tell you about our history.

"Long ago, almost 8,000 years back, there was a full out war between Humans and Demons. Humans fought to preserve their race and the demons to destroy it. The demons were led by a powerful demon prince named Mundus. Mundus wanted control of the entire human world. He amassed an army and selected demons of great power to lead them. One was named Sparda. At first, Sparda fought the humans and with his army, slaughtered many. However, one day, according to legend, he 'woke up to justice'.

"He turned on Mundus and his fellow demons and fought against them. Single handedly, he fought Mundus's armies until he finally returned to hell to defeat Mundus himself. They fought long and hard until finally he defeated Mundus. He sealed Mundus away and forced his armies to separate. He pored his entire being into his sword and sealed the portal to the demon realm. He then set demonic guards to keep the portal safe and then disappeared, only appearing in various times throughout the ages to protect humanity."

Naruto listened to the tale in awe. Everyone thought demons were bad, but apparently there was a good one out there in history. Also, to be his descendent, that just made him even more awesome.

"Of course though," Dante butted before Virgil could continue, "then daddy dearest had Virgil and I with mom. And as for Nero, well, I really don't know where he fits into this to be honest. Our old man probably had lovers or something in history, so maybe he's the descendent of one of his lovers, in which case, that means we have one hell of an incredibly older brother or sister somewhere out there, but whatever." Nero glared at Dante, even though that was probably most likely. "Now the three of us had some good times. Remember that time at the Temen-Ni-Gru and Mallet Island Virgil, good times eh." He nudged Virgil, who was also glaring at him. "And Nero, remember that time in Fortuna, where we rescued your woman and saved the city from some evil priest? Ah," Dante sighed with faked indulgence, "the memories." Nero, if it was possible, glared at him harder.

Naruto, looking at them, realized he had one dysfunctional family. One of them was always serious and composed. Another was always silly and had a cocky attitude. The other was just always getting picked on and was a mixture of both. He wondered if these guys were as all powerful as Kyubi made them out to be.

Nero stopped glaring and sighed. He should be used to this by now; this was just how Dante acted. He turned back to Naruto. "Now, we don't exactly understand how humanity basically went backwards technologically nor do we know how humans got the abilities the currently so there. Now, we can tell you the abilities you gain with being a Half-Devil.

"The first ability is basically rapid healing, avidly named Devil Blood. You already have this ability thanks to the big guy back there, but combined with your healing abilities as a Half-Devil, most of your injuries will heal near instantly.

"Your next ability, which I don't have but Dante and Virgil do, is called Devil Arm. This ability allows you to take the soul of any demon you defeat and turn them into a powerful weapon that you can use in combat. Each weapon has various powers and abilities, so there pretty damn useful to have.

"The third ability, which only I have, is called Devil Bringer." Nero holds up his red arm. "This arm can do many things. It could act as a grappling hook you could use for swinging or pulling enemies toward you. It can also emit a spectral arm that you can a tone of other stuff with. It's a really powerful tool to have. And unlike me, we'll make it so it can be turned on and off.

"Your fourth and final ability is called Devil Trigger. This ability is different between Half-Devils. No Devil Trigger is the same. You change based on the type of Half-Devil you are. For example, while these two have the full transformation, a spectral form of Sparda appears behind me. This ability basically multiplies your abilities by two times. It works really well in battle against some stronger opponents."

Nero was finished while Naruto thought in awe. He could have all of those abilities? He thought of the all of the possibilities. Most of these thoughts ended with him in the Hokage's formal dress. Before he could comment however, Vergil decided there was something else that must be said.

"Actually Nero," stated Vergil, "I believe Naruto will have one other ability that we did not have." This surprised Dante and Nero a bit. Sure, this day and age was different from theirs, but so much so that he has another ability that they didn't. "Naruto, from what I can gather from the few times you did pay attention in class," he glared at Naruto, who looked sheepish, "Kekkei Genkai are gained through contracts with demons. So, most likely, if you were to kill a demon with absolute control over darkness, you would gain Meiton (Darkness Release). So thus, I guess you could call this ability Devil Assimilation." Suddenly, in a burst of speed, Dante once again appeared next to Naruto and threw his hands in the air.

"And," Dante shouted in a voice he had heard announcers use, "all of this can be yours if you agree to become a Half-Devil!"Virgil, for what felt like the hundredth time today, face palmed at his twins antics. Nero and Naruto actually chuckled. So these were the abilities he would gain. This would certainly help him become Hokage, probably the best Hokage out there too. He'd be able to get stronger and to protect all his friends. He was definitely going to accept. But then Naruto remembered something.

"Ano, but didn't you say I have two Kekkei Genkai?" Nero looked down, Dante looked away, and Virgil just stared.

"Sorry," Nero apologized, "but we don't know much about the second one exactly."

"The only thing I can find searching in your memories about it was something you briefly learned in your academy," stated Virgil calmly. "From what you sensei said, I believe its name was the Rinnegan (Samsara Eye). But, it was only supposed to be a legend from what I've gathered." Before he could say another word, Kyūbi gasped. The four turned to him, beckoning him to explain his gasp.

"He has that blasted Dōjutsu (Eye Technique)!" He looked thoughtful for a moment when it looked like realization had struck him in the face. "Blasted, I can't believe this didn't cross my fucking thought process before! The Uzumaki are related to the Senju, who like the Uchida, are the damn descendants of the Rikudō Sennin (Sage of Six Paths)."

"And who the fuck," Dante asked hotly, "is this Rikudo-whatever?"

"Rikudō Sennin, you twit. There's a legend behind him. It's one technically I am a part of. And it involves Mundus as well.

"Vergil was damn well right when he hypothesized that Kekkei Genkai came from human contracts with demons. But, it started about 1,000 years ago. After humanity bounced back from decline, a young boy was playing near a statue of Mundus. He used that statue as an avatar to communicate with the boy. He promised the boy the power to change the world in exchange for doing a request for him, when he called upon it, must do a favor for Mundus. The boy naively accepted and gained the Rinnegan.

"The boy then eventually discovered that humans had Chakra, which is basically in a sense a bastardized form of Yokai. He was revered by the people as a living god, performing miracles and helping people when they needed it. He then began to think that why should he have all the power and decided to teach people to use chakra. He took a few disciples, who after they completed their training, went off on their own and began to teach others.

"One day, when the Sennin was older, he heard a distant call from Mundus, telling him to return to the statue where they had first met to receive his job. When he returned, Mundus told him to begin destroying humanity and to then find the seal that bound him to the demon world and release it. The Sennin refused, knowing it would mean the end of all things. Mundus raged about how he gave him the power and how this was owed to him, but man ignored it. He destroyed the statue and left, thinking he had heard the last of Mundus. He hadn't.

"Mundus was furious to say the least. About a year later, after he had expected the Sennin to let his guard down, he used a bit of the power he could leak out of one of his avatar statues and released a seal he had placed on one of his former generals, who had betrayed him before Sparda. Unlike how Sparda did it for humanity though, he did it for power. He was a devil named Jūbi. Mundus warped Jūbi's mind using his powers, causing him to enter an enraged state. Jūbi transformed into his demon form and went on a rampage for weeks, seeking out the Sennin.

"After weeks of searching, the two met on the battlefield. They fought for days, neither one giving in. Finally, the Sennin weakened Jūbi enough and used one of his abilities to extract Jūbi's soul. He sealed it inside himself and then used his power over gravity to place his body in rock and sent it to the moon, crashing it there and then sealing it for all eternity.

"As years passed, the Sennin got older and had two sons, who would later go on to create the Uchida and Senju clans respectively. He modified the seal so that when he died, Jūbi's power would be split up and be sent into animals. Thus, on the day of his death, I received the most of the power sent out and became the great being I am today. Eventually humans figured out how to seal demons again and the rest is history.

"The abilities of the Rinnegan are vast. I happen to know all of its abilities and I'd be willing to tell them to you eventually. However, the current one I think you'll find most useful is godly manipulation over all five elements and some over gravity. I'll also make it able to be turned on and off like the unlike what the original wielder had to go through with it on. Also, in exchange for a small amount of freedom, I shall become your first Devil Arm."

Naruto actually looked shocked, trying to take it all in. First, he could have the Rinnegan, which Kyūbi said was probably the strongest Kekkei Genkai out there. Not only that, but it had godly control over the five elements and gravity. He could learn and create tons of freaking jutsu with that. And Kyūbi just offered to become his first Devil Arm and because of Devil Assimilation, he would all of Kyūbi's chakra, it was a win-win.

While Naruto was lost in his thoughts, Virgil asked the question that was on the mind of the current three Half-Devils. "Why are you willing to help him?" Demons were devious, he knew that all too well. It wasn't like them to just offer up their power to anyone. It was even an unspoken taboo that if you were to make a contact with a Sparda, you would become an outcast among demon society.

The beast just gave them a pointed stare. "Because, I know what's going to happen if I don't. He just get strong and come and take my power from me by force. He probably wouldn't even give me a bit of freedom like allowing me to feel things through his senses. Second, he's a Sparda like you. In my book, that's something I must respect. I don't agree with Dante and Nero's 'protect human' crap, but I know Sparda's are notoriously powerful. Finally, even without this power you're offering him, I've seen this kid. I couldn't corrupt him enough to let the seal off even if I tried. With this power, he'd just resist more anyway. At least with this, I can get some form of freedom." That was a good enough answer for the three of them. They turned and looked at Naruto, who looked as though he had come to a decision.

"Alright," he said with determination, "I accept these gifts." He turned to his ancestors. "I promise you three that I will do my best to live up to yours and Sparda's name." The three looked satisfied. "I also promise to you Kyūbi," he turned to the demon, "that if you become my Devil Arm and assist me with learning about the Rinnegan, then I will allow you access to my senses. This I swear this to you on my nindo. And if I go back on that nindo in anyway, I will allow you to devour my soul and take my body." The demon's face conveyed one of shock before he gave a satisfied grin. This kid was going to be interesting, he could tell.

"Welcome to the family kid," Dante stated. "I've got no doubt in my mind you'll live up to our name. One quick thing we forgot to mention though. We're going to give you info about some of our weapons and were their hidden. Weapons like Rebellion and Yamamoto."

"Also," Nero began, "I'll give you info so you can properly use Sparda's Arm and make Red Queen and Blue Rose. They really aren't things I could hide in tombs like Dante and Virgil's stuff. Hopeful you can find use for them." The three of them walked over to Naruto and placed their hands on his chest.

"Oh, by the way, you may get a bit of our personality traits," before Naruto could ask what he meant, Dante quickly counted down. "3, 2, 1! Good luck kid!" With that, they transferred everything they had to Naruto. In the background, Kyūbi roared, doing what he promised to. He could once again feel that natural power again. It flowed through him freely. Added with Kyūbi's chakra and the power felt endless. He screamed a bit. There was a white light. And then Naruto's world went black.

(Hours Later, Forest Floor, Forest of Death)

He opened his eyes groggily. This is not what he had expected. They never told him how much pain the process was going to be either, the Teme's. He moved his head from side to side, surveying the area. From the light seeping through the trees, even though it was only a little, he could tell it was day time. Most likely it was the next day. That meant his team had about three more days to reach the tower before they failed the test. That wasn't going to happen.

He pushed himself off of the floor and looked around. He had landed near a small pond. There were trees all around him, a few of which had fallen down. Straight ahead was what looked like a small path, leading down a demonic looking section of the woods? Then again, that was the direction he needed to head in too from what he could guess. He knew his team mates had survived simply because Sasuke wouldn't be killed yet without killing that guy he was looking for. He would also, even though he really did not want to do it, keep Sakura alive. Before he moved down the path, however, he decided to look at his reflection in the creek. He was surprised. It was like he was staring at somebody else.

His face, and most likely the rest of his body, had lost its tan and turned pale like his ancestors. His face only retained a little of its baby fat. His cheeks still had their whisker like marks as well. Unlike the rest of his family, however, his hair remained spiked, but it was now silver like them. In fact it almost reminded him of Kakashi's hair, except shinier. His eyes had become like his ancestor's icy blue. Overall, he liked his new face. Looking down, he noticed that his jacket didn't fit to well. Quickly unzipping it, he found that his torso had grown a bit making him a bit taller. He also noticed that he had developed an impressive six pack. Being a Half-Devil really did do wonders didn't it?

He decided to throw away his orange jacket, seeing that it wouldn't fit, leaving him with a blue muscle shirt and orange pants that barely fit. He was going to need some new clothes, that's for sure. He noticed the he had a tattoo with a fox head on his left pectoral.

"Good to see you noticed my sealed form, kit." He looked around for the voice, but couldn't find anything. "Boy, it's me, Kyūbi. I'm talking to you from the new seal. This will allow me and you to communicate."

"Good to know," Naruto replied, noticing his voice was a bit deeper than before.

"You should think to communicate instead of talk. No one's around now, but we don't want people to think you're a raving loon."

"Right," he stated simply. "So, did you also notice that demonic presence in this area?" Ever since he had woken up, he felt something weird about this section of the forest. It felt oddly demonic. He thought this feeling to probably be the new and improved senses he had gained after the transformation. With it, he felt a large source of demonic energy in the area.

"Indeed. It's probably a plant like demon. It will be easy considering my Devil Arm is fire based. The source is straight ahead. Just follow the creepy path the demonic looking trees and that will get you where you need to go to find it."

"I picked a perfect place to land, didn't I?" Muttering to himself, he began to walk forward.

"Hold on." Naruto stopped. "Maybe you should practice with Devil Bringer and my weapon first before you go on. Spamming demons with your Kage Bunshin will only do so much."

"Hey, that wasn't all my skills before this!"

"… Bullshit and you know it." Seriously, who did this kid think he was fooling? He was a demon that had been trapped inside Naruto since birth damn it! He knew everything about his former jailor, including his skill set.

"Fine, I'll practice first." Naruto turned back and walked to the middle of the clearing. He summoned Devil Bringer. Naruto noticed that his Devil Bringer arm was black and that the veins were red. The claws that made up his fingers on the hand were also red. He honestly thought it looked pretty sweet. At first, it felt a little different from his normal arm, but he quickly adapted.

He gave a quick uppercut to the air and pretended to grab an enemy. Exerting a bit of energy from his arm, he slammed downward. He found that the energy that was being emitted acted like a booster to increase the force of the slam. That would be useful knocking someone out or with enough force, to smash their head in. He moved his arm back to its normal position at his side. Quickly, he shot his arm forward. An ethereal hand shot forward like a grapple. Grabbing someone from long distances would also be helpful as well. He decided he would try and make the larger ethereal arm later. He deactivated Devil Bringer and his arm returned to normal. Good, everything worked well so far.

He grinned as he got ready to test his first Devil Arm. He wondered what Kyūbi would turn out as. Well, the only way to know was to try. "Kyūbi!" he shouted. Suddenly the air around both of his hands warped. What appeared there was shocking. Kyūbi was a pair of 8-bladed Chakrams. They were circular, their round edges bladed. 8 spear tips protruded out of them, sharp to their very tips. The bladed metal was black. Around the inside was red metal. A black cross was there for holding the weapon. Red circles connected them to four of the spikes. All in all, it looked pretty cool to him.

To be honest, he was expecting some kind of sword or something, but this was pretty cool too. "Thanks kit." Seriously, why did everyone want their fucking Devil Arm to be a god forsaken sword! "Now, here's a quick lesson in wielding me. I can be wielded like a shield to block attack, be thrown at enemies like a boomerang, and be used for melee combat as well. One special thing about me is I can light on fire like so." The Chakrams lit on fire. The fire also rolled up Naruto's arms. He at first thought they were going to burn, but they didn't. "Don't worry; these flames won't burn you, only your enemies. Try to throw me around kid." Naruto did as told. With a quick throw at two different trees, they flew toward their intended targets. They brushed around the trees, leaving scratches and scorch marks along the tree and returned. Without a second thought, he caught them. "At least you know how to throw them. I guess we can head out now."

"What, I thought you were going to teach me more moves!"

"And I will. However, you'll learn a few in actual combat too. Plus it's good experience too. Also, shed plenty of blood with me. The more you shed, the stronger I get."

"Will do, Kyūbi," Naruto said as he toward the trail. He stopped right before the entrance. "Well then, let's rock." Naruto grinned and began walking down the path.

(5 Minutes Later)

As he walked, he noticed that many of the trees on the path were either discolored or looked completely broken. "You would think a fucking plant demon would take care of the forest. Instead, this happens. I mean, look at this place, it looks like shit!" Not many people may have known, but Naruto actually liked to garden. On his window sill at home, he had some followers and an abundance of other plants. When he saw a garden in bad shape, he would freak. The only reason no one knew was because he would never go to the Yamanaka's flower shop. If he did, Ino would tell everybody and quite frankly, he didn't want to deal with the shitstorm that would create.

He stopped when he suddenly heard a rustling sound. Out of some nearby bushes comes something that reminds him of a brown sack. The sack was burlap, with small little tiny bugs falling out from some of the small holes. It had a blade on its arm. The face kind of reminded him of a clown's. This, if Dante's and Nero's memories served right, was an Arm Scarecrow. Naruto raised an eyebrow. "I know I'm new to the whole demon hunting business, but this is just insulting! They only sent one of you after me!"

"!" It let out a small cry. Suddenly, black circles appeared on the ground and released black light. Through the circle, more Arm Scarecrows appear through the portals. There were now about six of them.

"Great, me and my big mouth," Naruto sighed. He held his arms out. "Kyūbi," he whispered. Suddenly, the red and black Chakrams appeared in his hands. "Well then, if you're all so intent on fighting, then let's get crazy!"

Naruto ignited the weapons and swiftly threw them at their targets. They hit their marks, quickly sending them into the air. Naruto ran toward the Chakrams on their way back and grabbed them. He appeared below the two airborne scarecrows and jumped up in a spinning motion, his arms extended to their full reach. Suddenly, the air around him ignited, creating an airborne fire cyclone. The spinning fire cyclone hit the two scarecrows, igniting them on fire as well as hitting them with the blades of the Chakrams, which were mixed in with the blaze. The cyclone exploded, sending both scarecrows crashing to the ground. They tried to stand up, but the flames made them weak and they dissolved into nothingness. An unharmed Naruto fell to the earth, a smirk place upon his face.

"I officially take back any original thoughts I had about this not being cool." Four more left. "Time for a bit of melee," he thought. He rushed forward right into the group. He swiped at the scarecrow in front of him back and forth, constantly hitting him. Using a newly developed sixth sense, he quickly turned around and parried the attack. He quickly threw the Chakram he wasn't parrying with and hit the burlap colored demon up into the air. He jumped up and brutally slashed at it with the weapons. As it fell to the ground, he threw the weapons at it and pinned the demon to the ground with it. The fire ignited the scarecrow on the ground, turning it to ash. He landed next to it and picked it up. Suddenly, he staggered forward after a slash to the back. Kami, that hurt like a bitch. He could already feel the wound healing, but his shirt would not. He turned around and glared at the three remaining Scarecrows. "I hope you fella's have enough yen to pay for the tailor's repair fees?" When he saw them just standing there, he grew a tick mark on the back of his head. "Now there's gonna be hell to pay!"

He rushed forward quickly spun around in the middle of the group on the ground. Once again, a fiery cyclone swirled around his spinning form. His Chakrams cut the scarecrow while the fire burned them. The cyclone exploded, forcing the enemies away. When their bodies hit the floor, they turned to ash. Naruto looked at the destruction he caused and whistled. "Well, looks like they couldn't stay for the party that demon's throwing, too bad, it looks to be a real promising bash. Hopefully the other guests don't burn this easily though." He laughed at his own joke. Apparently Dante was right; he did get a bit of their personalities. He was cut from his thoughts when Kyūbi began to speak.

"Not bad for a beginner," Kyūbi praised lightly. "I'm actually surprised you did it so easily. And without the use of your blasted Kage Bunshin either. I'm impressed."

"Are you sure you're Kyūbi? You seem to be, I don't know, nice!" He couldn't get it out of his head. He was told that the Kyūbi no Yoko was a beast of pure hatred. He was told he would basically light a town up for just breathing in his presence. Yet this guy here is being somewhat pleasant. He didn't understand it.

"To other humans, yes, I'm 'not nice'. However, there are a few things different about you. One, you're a demon, albeit half. I dislike humans and will only give some respect towards other demons that are of equal rank or higher. You, being a half-devil, could be considered the same rank as me or higher. Second, you are a Sparda. They were feared throughout the demon world and history. No demon except those who are brain dead, want glory by defeating them or someone like Mundus wants to fuck with them. Third and finally, I was stuck in a seal to begin with. I could have tried to corrupt you, but looking through your memories I can see that it would have been impossible. That in itself has my respect. Finally, you trusted me to keep my word. I wouldn't have expected that from you, kit. I am the reason your life is miserable. That alone, even if you were still human, had gained my faith in you."

"I'm touched Kyūbi. I think we just had our first sentimental moment in our partnership! This is a great first step on the path to forming a true bond of friendship!"

"You just killed the moment you bastard. Besides, don't think this will happen again. I am still the great Kyūbi no Yoko!"

"Sure you are. Sure you are." Naruto just shook his head as he walked down the trail. He began to think he should hurry faster. Sakura and Sasuke probably thought he was dead. That and he wanted to get some supplies to build his new gadgets already. He was probably going to have to borrow some yen from Hokage-Ojiisan. And if not that, have Konohamaru steal some money from his clan vault to help fund his project and make him a gun similar to Blue Rose. Come to think of it, he just had his first true devious thought.

He was cut off from his thoughts when he entered a clearing with a small creak, probably leaking into the pond near where he fell. He saw a few seed pods on the ground as well. 3 Scarecrows and a green lizard type beast with a shield showed up. This green lizard was an Assault demon. Suddenly the pods near them exploded, revealing small plant like beings. The rushed to the larger demons and attached themselves.

"Joy, now they're Chimera Scarecrows and a Chimera Assault." He summoned Kyūbi as they drew near. "Well then, guess I'll give the hedges a good trim. But, I think I'll need a little helper." He crossed this index and middle finger from both hands. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! (Shadow Clone Technique)" A clone popped up next to him. The clone shifted his arm into its Devil Bringer form. The clone grinned. "You, take the Scarecrow group." He pulled out a few kunai with explosive tags. "Use those to stun them before you kill'em. Those plants on their heads are nasty bastards, you know." The clone just nodded in response and went to work.

Naruto turned his attention back to the plant infested assault in front of him. Quickly he threw his Chakrams at the enemy, sending it into the air. He ran under it, grabbed the pair of weapons, and began juggling them almost. He threw them in a circular pattern. As soon as the first one hit the target, he would throw the next one as the first one made its decent. He did this twice before he let it hit the ground. "Ouch, that looked like it hurt." He noticed it was getting back up. Yup, defiantly stronger than the Scarecrows, that's for damn sure. He spun and ignited the air around him, performing what he had just dubbed the Jigoku no Arashi (Hell Storm). He slashed and burned his opponent, causing it to screech in pain before shooting its roots at him, only for them to get burned. His opponent soon turned to ash. "Humph, to easy, probably should have taken the clone's group."

(With Clone)

"Of course, boss gives me you guys," said the clone with a sigh. "Would have thought the boss would have wanted this group, but oh well." One of the Scarecrow Chimeras rushed him. He smirked and threw one of the kunai with an explosive tag. It hit it right in the chest and exploded, sending it flying backwards. He shot his arm out, pulling it back towards him with the ethereal grapple. He grabbed the head and when the other two approached, slammed the head down with enough force to knock the two into the air. He threw a kunai and explosive tag combo at one of them and slammed the head of another on top of the chimera with its head still in the ground. He stabbed his last explosive note kunai threw both of their bodies and jumped away as it exploded, killing them both.

He jumped towards the still flying chimera, grabbed its head, and with a ton of force smashed into the ground. He quickly pulled up and smashed it one last time with Devil Bringer, killing it instantly. He dropped the body to the ground as it dissolved. He rejoined his creator and gave him a high five, dispelling a minute after.

"Hm," Naruto thought, "it's almost as if I killed them myself .So I guess this means Kage Bunshin transmit memories and info learned. I wonder if this would work for training." Filing it away for later, he continued onward to the path near the other side.

(5 more minutes later)

After walking down the path a bit further, he saw a rustling in the bushes. A Chimera Seed jumped out and moved toward the clearing at the end of the trail. As he walked a bit further, he noticed that it was crawling toward a giant closed up flower planted in the ground. Not sure what the fuck it is and not wanting to the creature to get near it, he throws a kunai with advance procession, striking it in its head and killing it. Suddenly, a shriek echoed the clearing and the closed flower bloomed.

The petals revealed a woman. She was brown and covered in scales. Her breasts were uncovered as well. Her face was pale and her lips black. Her hair, if it could be called hair, was two separate scaly pieces that if they connected would look like a tongue. Her torso was attached to 'petals' with razor sharp spikes. This was probably the demon he was looking for. If memory served right, Dante and Nero fought her. She was called Echidna, the plant type demon.

"How dare you!" She bellowed. "You killed my child and in front of me, his parent no less!" Nope. She was not happy.

"Look lady," Naruto said casually, "those things have been trying to kill me. Honestly, you have one fucked up sense of justice. I'm seriously the bad guy here for protecting my skin?"

"You're just trying to ruin my plan. I have been dormant for almost 125 years; I shall not be denied my ambition!"

"125 years, huh, that's a pretty long time. Out of curiosity, did you give a boy named Hashirama Senju his Mokuton (Wood Release) capabilities?" He saw her look thoughtful for a moment.

"Ah, yes, him. Yes, when he was small, I gave it to him with the promise that when he was older, he would build me this forest. He was easy to trick. Most people, from what I understand, just believe he had it by combining their earth and water chakra. When they tried to replicate it in his clan, they couldn't do it, not even his children. The reason why nobody could use it is because unlike my other demon brethren, I only made it so he could use it. It was genius really."

"Then how can it harm other demons then if its demon made?" Seriously, what the fuck? It was made by a demon and could be used to pacify demons, why make something that could come back and bite you in the ass?

"Like I would really tell you the reason," she quipped fiercely. Didn't she just answer his other question? Why the fuck wouldn't she answer this one. "Besides, you're about to become a new servant for a child of mine!"

"Bring it bitch!" She roared. Suddenly, her pedaled body burst from the ground, flying into the air to reveal a long scaly green tail with a spike at the end. "You know, you were pretty damn ugly before. Now, you've managed to top yourself yet again! Congratulations, someone give this woman a medal!" She growled. Apparently female demons didn't like being called ugly either, who would have thought?

She whipped her tail out. Quickly transforming his arm into the Devil Bringer, he grabbed the tip of her tail with it. So shocked that somebody had grabbed her tail that she didn't notice the world around her, he quickly spun around and threw her at the large tree at the end of the clearing. Snapping out of her shock after the impact, she flew into the air and transformed. The 'flower' once again closed up, revealing it to actually be a dragon like serpent and not a closed flower. How did he think it looked like that, he'll never know.

The dragon form of Echidna flew into the tree brush, making her not so noticeable. He closed his eyes and listened to the world around him. He heard a rustling coming from the side. Turning sharply, he without thinking created an enlarged ethereal Devil Bringer and punched the demonic serpent square in the face with it, knocking her away from him. She spiraled in the air a bit before flying up into the air. Her tail contorted and as it came to the ground split to reveal a giant egg sack. Dismissing Devil Bringer, he summoned Kyūbi to assist him. He threw the Chakrams forward and hit the sack. Echidna screamed in pain as their flames ignited it. However, that didn't stop a egg from falling through and hatching to reveal a fully matured Chimera Seed.

He called Kyūbi back and threw one of the Chakrams while rushing forward to fight the seed. As Echidna once again screamed in pain, Naruto started slashing the seed with his ignited weapon, lighting it on fire. He then smacked it into the air and, after quickly activating Devil Bringer, grabbed his head and smashed it down, creating a killing impact. The other Chakram flew back just as Echidna closed her body and whipped out her tail, smacking him into a tree. As he got up, she flew toward him and smacked at him again. Naruto jumped right over it and threw a kunai that hit her in the face. She pulled it out and noticed the explosive note, but before she could throw it away, it exploded. Naruto burst out laughing. This was just too much.

The plant demon flew up into the air and came straight down, burying her tail into the ground like when he had first found her. Rushing forward, he rolled to the left as a spike came out of the ground, trying to pierce him, and threw one of the Chakrams at her. It hit her right in the chest, acting like a flaming buzz saw of death. Narrowly avoiding another spike, he ran forward and started slashing away at her. He grabbed the other one and began to spin, activating Jigoku no Arashi (Hell Storm). The spinning cyclone of fire really did a number on her.

The petals snapped shut, forcing him away from her. Transforming into her serpent form again, she flew into the forest. He quickly dodged an attempt to hit him be rolling to the left. He looked to the side only to see her tail getting into the forest. He felt an attack from behind. He jumped into the air and as her body passed, fell on top of it, he made several slashing motions on her body. She let out a dreadful wail as she slew into the air to get him off of her. As he hit the ground, she appeared in front of him, in her hybrid form once again.

"So, are you done throwing a tantrum yet?"

"How dare you! I can't believe you have forced me to go this far!" Her form was surrounded by a gold energy. Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"What are you, a Super Sayin?" He thought about what he said. What the fuck was a 'Super Sayin!' He didn't know, but it sounded pretty fucking stupid to him. In another universe, a short man with black hair and a tail threw a tantrum suddenly about 'somebody not knowing about Sayins' and their 'great power.' Back with Naruto, the insult seemed to stick for some reason because she didn't like it.

She flew right at him, her movements faster than ever. Right, seems like her strength just doubled. He jumped to the right. However when he turned she ran right into him. He clamped his hands on hers and pushed back. Slowly, they stopped moving. When they came to a full stop, he slashed at her face with a chakram. She reeled back as he jumped at her and started slashing away, leaving cuts and scorch marks on her body. She slapped him away with her hair and fired seeds at him. As he flew, he threw the chakrams at the seeds, cutting them before returning to him. He landed on his knee and looked up to see her coming down, her egg sack once again showing.

The sack proved to be a little more difficult this time seeing how it produced eggs faster. Oh, great. Quickly performing a seal, he shouted "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" He created three clones who activated their Devil Bringersto deal with the rapid egg rush while he focused on the sack. Rushing forward, ignoring the hatched eggs, he slashed and slashed at her sack. He then unleashed a Jigoku no Arashi right there, burning the sack and anything that may have been under it.

She quickly closed up the sack area once again, but before she could escape, a clone grabbed her tail with their Devil Bringer. He spun around once again and fired her at a clone that had just jumped into the air. Cupping his fists together, he brought them down like a hammer, smashing her tail first into the ground. Naruto then rushed forward and delivered a few more well placed slashes and one final Jigoku no Arashi. He jumped back. She was on her last legs. Echidna was all out of energy.

How the hell could she lose to him? She remembered her battle with that young boy Nero and that Sparda boy Dante after which she became his Devil Arm. This boy in front of her had similar powers to both of them. Could they be related? If so, she would not be defeated again by one of them again.

With the last of her strength, she burst from the ground towards Naruto, ignoring his clones, with a roar "Die boy!"

As she drew near, Naruto smirked. Pouring chakra into Kyūbi to up its sharpness, he twisted back a bit before throwing the chakrams. They blazed to life as they head towards her. As they reached their intended target, she could only let out a silent scream as they cut straight through her, killing her instantly. As they flew back, Echidna's body fell to the floor in pieces and his clones dispelled. The pieces dissolved revealing a green light.

"Kyūbi, what the hell is that?" Naruto was curious to be honest and he really didn't feel like trying to remember how it worked, so he asked him.

"That is Echidna's soul. You can turn her into a weapon and it will most likely give you Mokuton. She'll also probably explain why it can stop yokai too."

"What do you mean she will explain it? Didn't I just kill her?"

"Yes, but her soul becomes the weapon. Like me, she'll tell you about the weapon and if you're lucky, maybe she'll teach you about Mokuton as well."

"Guess it's worth a shot. Even if she doesn't, I still get a weapon to add to my arsenal." He walked toward the green light. He stood in front of it, stuck out his hand, and grabbed it. He was surrounded by a bright light. His appearance changed. On his body was a set of steel gauntlets, steel greaves, a steel mask, and steel back armor that looked like butterfly wings. On the shoulder portion of the gauntlets were buzz saw like blades with a red dot in the middle. All of the equipment had a set of symbols that constantly changed color from red to purple. The name of the new weapon hit his mind. "Gilgamesh is your name, huh? This is pretty sweet."

"So," began Echidna's voice, "I guess I once again have ended up in the service of a Sparda. Very well then, I shall assist you in learning to use this weapon. Also, now that you have me, you can also use Mokuton now as well. Like the young man before you, I shall also teach you to use it."

"We'll have to start learning Mokuton at a later date. Right now, give me the lowdown on Gilgamesh."

"Very well then, Gilgamesh is a unique Devil Arm. It is made from a devilish metal far stronger than steel but has a similar appearance to it. It has thrusters on the gauntlets and greaves that when powered up help more than triple your strength. There are also small extendable drills on the gauntlets and buzz saws on the grieves. The thrusters can also help speed you up as well. They're very useful"

"Very well then, please give me any info on any possible moves that I may be able to perform. And Echidna…"

"Yes?"

"Welcome to the team. It's great to have you with us." Echidna was shocked. Dante, while she was in his service, never thanked her once. But here was the new Sparda, thanking her just for some information. She had expected him to be a jerk, but she was wrong. Well then, if she was stuck with him, she might as well help him as best as she could. She was brought out of her thoughts when he asked her another question.

"Echidna, you know this forest like the back of your hand. Can you get me back into the human portion of the forest?"

"Yes, use the path straight ahead. It should take you there."

"Right, thank you." Naruto deactivated Gilgamesh. He lifted up his sleeve to reveal a tattoo of a flower on his right arm. He put the sleeve down and began to walk forward towards the exit Echidna had indicated. He didn't know what the future would bring, but he knew now without a doubt that as he learned to control his new powers and abilities, he could do step up to the challenges ahead.

Brushing his thoughts aside, Naruto jumped up some of the lower tree branches and began jumping to a few a bit higher. Now he just needed to find his teammates. Hopefully they hadn't gotten into too much trouble, right?

Next Time: Mission Two: Capture the Scroll, Find the Team!

Authors Note:

And this is my new Naruto/Devil May Cry crossover. So, you probably are wondering a few things. For one, why is Kyūbi a pair of Chakrams? Well, for some reason, most of the Naruto/ Devil May Cry fic's I've read usually have Kyūbi as a sword. I wanted to try and branch away from that and do my own thing. Chakrams are a neat weapon and are pretty unique in themselves. I would like to mention that Kyūbi isn't designed like the average Chakram but more like Chinese Wind and Fire Wheels. I kind of based these off of Axel's Chakrams from the Kingdom Heart Series (Yes, laugh. I played the game when I was a kid, wanna fight about it?).

Some of you are also wondering why Kyūbi seems so submissive and why he did what he did. I've already explained it in the story. If it really doesn't make sense to you, oh well. There will be Naruto- Kyūbi bickering in the story so it will probably give Kyūbi his old appeal, but for now he just helping so they can get out of there and onto training.

Also, did any of you notice I didn't give Naruto Rebellion and Yamamoto first like in some stories where they just hand it to him out of the blue? He's going to have to search for them first. They can't just magically appear out of nowhere like some people suggest. Dante and Virgil are just like "Yeah, here you go." There will be most likely be in my story trials he needs to go through to get them. If you have any questions, please PM me and I'll try to explain. Also, if you have a Devil Arm you would like to see, please leave it in your review. I have some OC Devil Arm ideas, but I want you thoughts.

As I've mentioned in the story, Naruto will adopt a mixture of his own personality and theirs. This chapter seemed like he was a Dante clone, I know. However, he hasn't had any situations yet where the Vergil and Nero personalities will show, so give it time.

As for pairings, I'll tell you this once, I will not do the HinataxNaruto pairing. I have many reasons why I won't do it. One reason is because they show up way to often in the weirdest of fucking ways possible, shit that doesn't even sometimes make sense in that universe most of the time. The others are just too much to explain. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Hinata, but for some reason in rough drafts for my other story ideas, I just can't do it. So maybe tomorrow or by sometime at the end of the week, I'll put up a poll for the pairing. I'll put up the girls from Naruto and maybe the women of Devil May Cry if I can think of a way to work it in. And yes, there will be a Harem option. In fact, that was the default pairing, but I want to know what you think. Also feel free to drop your pairing ideas in the review.

One last thing, to the readers of my story "Dueling Monsters", an update for that story is on the way within the next month or so. I'm sorry I never put up the hiatus notice; I was spending my time re-familiarizing myself with the YuGiOh and Rosario +Vampire. I apologize if you felt abandoned.

So, Read and Review. Also, if you have any criticisms or things you think I could improve on, feel free to put them in your review. But I swear, I one of you flames; I will find you and have Kyūbi devour your souls.
