Chapter 1 **NA: I really wanted to get this out, it was such a brilliant combination I could not resist writing this. This will most likely be my greatest creation! Naruto once again is older in here, but the Kyuubi still attacked during the day of his birth, I did this to fit the story.** **I just came up with the story last night, it just came to me suddenly.** * * * ><p><strong>-Story Start-<strong> **Prologue** Pain, anger, resentment, sorrow. Emotions that ran through this bloodied child as he ran through the streets of this village, crying as he ran for his life. "Why!" he screamed, clutching his left arm as blood poured out. His blonde hair covered with blood, his sky blue eyes filled with terror. "Get the demon! Today we finish what our beloved Fourth started!" The cries and roars of the people soared through the streets as they held makeshift weapons, cleavers, and torches. Some shinobi as well joined in. The boy ran and ran as he made for the village gate, not looking back at the mob that was out for his life. "Do not let the demon escape!" The boy managed to run past the gate, but the mob did not stop, they continued on, intent on killing him. So he kept running, even when his legs wanted to give out. He ran and ran and ran, until he reached a cliff, his running had come to end. He clutched his left arm as he stepped back towards the edge of the cliff; the faces of the people glaring at him were filled with hate and anger. The shinobi within the mob grabbed their kunais and threw them at the boy. The boy tried to dodge them, but to no avail, as one blade struck his chest, sending him down to the ravine below. "We have killed the demon! We are heroes!" the people roared with joy for murdering an innocent child. Humans… such a cruel race they are. As the child fell, he wondered, if he could finally meet the parents he had always wanted to know. Did they love him? Did they want him? Did they? His body struck the water, blood flowing as he is carried by the current of the river, he began to lose consciousness as he struggled to stay awake. The water carries him further, deep into the river, until a hand grabs him. It showed a man of at least ten feet tall with strange gray armor, orange light glowing on the trims, and metallic plates that seemed to float above his shoulders. "You look human, yet you are not." The deep voice of the man calls out. He picks up the boy and carries him through some kind of green light, disappearing from the face of the planet. The man places the boy on a table, "Guarding Light, I am need of your services." The man called out once again. A spherical object with a bright blue light entered the room, "Iso-Didact, may I ask why is there a human child aboard this ship?" "He may look it, but he is no human, scan him and you will see why he is not." The spherical object known as Guarding Light did so, the sphere gasped. "By the creators, what is he?" "I do not know, but we must tend to the child's wounds, he is dying." Iso-Didact said as he felt the child's breathing becoming less frequent. "At once Didact." Guarding Light made a nodding gesture as machines and floating objects neared the child, light shimmered upon the boy's exposed skin, closing their wounds. "The entity residing within seems to be helping with the healing process, fascinating, he has the body of a human, yet he is different entirely. What do you plan on doing with him Didact? Surely you brought him aboard for a reason." "Yes, this child has power I have not seen in over a thousand millennia. He will become my legacy, my greatest creation." Didact declared. Guarding Light paused for a second before continuing with his work, "I see, true that he has power, but is it wise to entrust him with even more power?" Didact nodded, "I along with our warrior-servants and Prometheans may be the last of our kind Guarding Light, I wish to leave him with our legacy, I will teach the ways of combat. While you, will teach more subtle education, I have seen what the humans had done to him, to think their cruelty stretches to that of children. What this boy will do with that power, is up to him. As long as our legacy lives on, I care not what he does with this world." The sphere nods, "Understood, Didact." The Didact's helmet opened, revealing humanoid looking man, but with a face of that of an alien. "This boy, will become the greatest Promethean. Even greater than that fool Ur-Didact." The boy wakes up on a soft bed, wearing clean white clothes, "Ah you are awake." A voice calls out to his side. "Hello little one, I am Guarding Light, I was responsible for tending to your wounds." The child was shivering, the floating object in front of him scared him a bit, "No need to be afraid child, I will not hurt you, you are safe, far away from those cruel humans that made an attempt on your life. Now come, my creator who saved your life wishes to speak with you." He could only nod and follow the floating ball of light, passing through the beautiful hallways, he gasped as he looked out the window… he could see the world below. "Ah yes, you are aboard a ship that travels through the stars. Now come little one, my creator awaits." The went past the last hallway, the boy walked into a room where there was a seat with multiple controls and holographic screens positioned in the center of the room, overlooking a window, this was the ship's bridge. "Ah you are awake." The man seated on the chair turned to him, revealing his humanoid looking face. He had a few hairs protruding from the back of his head, his face was not that of a human, "Hello young one, I am Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, or you can simply call me Didact. I am a Promethean of the once proud Forerunner race." "F-Forerunner?" the boy softly spoke, still quite scared at the non-human he was looking at. "No need to be fear child." Didact smiled softly, "You are here for a purpose. You are to be the greatest Promethean this age will ever know, and I wish to guide you, to teach you, to nurture you. In a way, I will become your father." "F-Father?" he muttered, tears flowing from his eyes. Didact lifted himself from his seat and knelt down in front of the boy, and gave him a gentle hug. He may be a Forerunner, but all sentient beings are never exempt from emotions and feelings. "Yes… my son, you will become my legacy. Now what is your name?" "Naruto Uzumaki." He spoke softly. Didact smiled, "Naruto, in your tongue it means Maelstrom, yes… that will be your Forerunner name, Fury of Eternal Maelstrom, signifying your new life as my son." **End Prologue** **XXXXXXXX** **Thirteen years later** **The Land of Demons** A young man around 6 feet in height walked through a snowy city wearing a cloak. Inside the cloak was armor his father had created for him, it was the armor a Didact would wear into battle. He approached the cities palace as guards approached. "Halt! State your business." "I have come here at the request of your daimyo." He pulled out a scroll and gave it to the guards. The guard who took the scroll read it, he then nodded, "You may go through, he has been expecting you." The man went through the gate and went up the large stairs that led him to the palace entrance. The doors opened revealing a beautifully built structure, bright and elegant. The cloaked man walked through hall, approaching a woman sitting on a throne. "Ah Naruto, it is good to see you once more. My daughter has missed you greatly." "Lady Yagyu." Naruto bowed, in the thirteen years he had spent with his new father, he had learnt a many great deal from him and Guarding Light. He learnt the ways of war from his father, and other forms of education from Guarding Light. He had grown tremendously over the years, he became a master tactician, a warrior… a Promethean. He would soon become a Didact as well like his father, he became a brilliant commander thanks to the knowledge his father passed down to him. Commanding a contingent of Promethean Knights, his personal guard. "How is Shion?" he asked, removing his cloak and revealing the grey armor much like his father's with its floating shoulder guards. Many of the servants and guards who had never seen him in his armor gasped at the beauty of the armor, like an angel from heaven had come down to visit them. "She misses you a great deal, refusing to meet other suitors. I must thank you once again for defeating the demon." "Think nothing of it your highness, I only did what I thought was right." During his time in the city, he helped stop a demon going rampant, the city would have been lost were it not for Naruto defeating it. Because of his actions, he saved a great many lives that day. The priestess laughed, "You are too modest sometimes Naruto, are you sure you do not wish to take your father's name, the Namikaze?" Naruto nodded, "I am sure your highness, I do not wish to take it yet as it will bring unneeded attention, for now I will keep it a secret." "Wise words young Naruto, but enough of this, Shion has been awaiting your return for quite some time now." Naruto bowed and proceeded to walk to the palace gardens; there seated on a bench was a beautiful young woman at the age of 17. She had beautiful blonde hair and purple eyes that shined like a gemstone. She was next in line to become the next priestess of the Land of Demons. He met her five years ago during his travels around the country, she was coming back from a trip when the carriage she was in was under attack by bandits and luckily he was nearby. Moving in to help them, he pulled out his pistol and fired a few shots at the bandits, getting their attention the bandits foolishly charged to attack him, angry that they ruined their fun on planning to ravage the blonde girl, he activated his energy blades and slashed at them, because he was a Promethean, he had telekinesis, lifting one of the bandits and choking him to death, the rest was a blur as the bandits were ripped to pieces. Unfortunately Shion's guards were all killed in the attack as they were caught off guard, Naruto in turn offered to escort her back to her home, she graciously accepted as she couldn't keep her eyes off the blonde, his beautiful face, his mesmerizing blue eyes, his sun-kissed blonde hair that shines when the sun touches it. What caught her eye as well was the strange but beautifully designed armor he was wearing, it was gray but glowing blue energy shining within the armor's trims, and the weapons he carried that seemed to stick to his back and sides when not in use, what astonished her were the shoulder guards that floated above his shoulders. All in all, he was her knight in shining armor that came and rescued her. Over the five years, they had been seeing each other, going out a few times, the Didact was amused with their relationship and courtship, and approved of it, the girl had strange powers of foresight. They grew closer as they spent more time together, until they had their first kiss in this very same garden. And now it had been six months since they had seen each other, and he was back to see her once more. "Shion…" he softly called out to her. "Naruto-kun!" Shion jumped from the bench and fell into his embrace, passionately kissing him. "I missed you." "And I you my love." "Will you be staying long this time?" Shion asked him with a pleading look. "Yes, I have come to like this country, and its people, but mostly because of a certain special someone." Naruto said, kissing her once more. "Fury of Eternal Maelstrom, to think that there are beings from other worlds." Shion's bloodline granted her the ability of seeing multiple futures, or basically different outcomes of a future. One of them was a vision of beings from another planet with technology and power that rivalled that of the demons of their world. She was the only one who knew Naruto's Forerunner name because of those visions. "There are more than that Shion." He said while cupping her face, "And I cannot wait for you to see it all." "And I cannot wait to see it Naruto. Are you sure you will be coming back to Konoha for the Chunin exams?" she said with worry, she was aware of the history he has had with them, and the pain he endured, she did not like the idea of him walking the streets of that village again. "I will, but not as their shinobi, but as a shinobi of the Land of Demons. As your shinobi." He took her hand and kissed it, smiling at his lover, savouring the scent of her hand. "I love you Shion." "I love you Naruto." She said leading him to her room, her eyes gazing at him lovingly. "Stay with me tonight." "As you wish." * * * ><p><strong>NA: Oh I think I did a pretty good start for this. Yes he is older once more; I think he is a better character if he is older. So I paired him with Shion who is older as well, one of my favorite Naruto girls.<strong> **He is wearing the armour much like the Didact's from Halo 4, just custom fitted to his size and frame. His weapons are the Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon or the Suppressor, the Z-110 Directed Energy Pistol or the Boltshot, and wrist mounted energy blades. He will sometimes switch to a Z-250 Directed Energy Engagement Weapon or LightRifle if need be. His armor energy and weapons glow blue instead of Ur-Didact's orange.** **Yes he is a Shinobi of the Land of Demons or Oni no Kuni. I doubt this has ever been done before or much.** **I will see you guys later!** 2. Chapter 2 **NA: Am I the only one who thinks the Boltshot is overpowered? I mean it can kill in a single shot at the correct distance, then again they did nerf it. But it is still powerful. Well enough of the rant and let's get on with the story. So the terrain and climate of the Land of Demons will be different compared to canon, it will located to the north, and it will be a snowy region, I just thought it would be more fitting.** * * * ><p><strong>-Story Start-<strong> Morning had come in the snowy city of the Land of Demons. The country got its namesake for imprisoning a demon at the center of the country. It then somehow escaped, but thanks to Naruto it was forever defeated thanks to his powers. A demon was no match for a Promethean who is also a demon container. On the bed with his combat skin lying on a table, a beautiful blonde young woman snuggled onto his chest. Their naked forms covered only by the sheets of the bed, sleeping peacefully. Despite the cold climate the people were used to it. The sun's light revealed itself into the room, passing over Naruto's and Shion's faces. They fluttered their eyes and slowly opened. The first thing they saw was each other, Naruto with his hand on her shoulder caressed it. Shion moved a bit up and kissed him on the lips. "Good morning." She finally spoke. Naruto returned the kiss, "Good morning my princess. I wouldn't mind waking up to this every morning." The blonde princess giggled but then tilted her head in confusion, "What do you mean?" "I mean, living here, with you." Shion's eyes slowly widened, "Meaning, you're staying here?" Naruto nodded with a smile, caressing her beautiful face. She put on a smile and embraced him, after all these years he finally decided to stay here, with her. **XXXXXXXX** Lady Yagyu, Shion's mother wasn't surprised to say the least, she knew he would decide to live here eventually, after all she was the one who offered him a place here. "So you have finally made your decision to stay." "Yes, there is no other place I would rather be." Naruto smiled, his arms around Shion's hips as she lay her head on his shoulder. "Well at least with you here, you can scare off those annoying suitors always vying for her hand in marriage." Lady Yagyu jokingly said. "Suitors?" Naruto turned to Shion, "You never told me about the suitors?" "They weren't important." Shion argued, "Besides I have you now." Naruto grumbled, "You should have at least told me, I could have dealt with them." "No, no you are not killing them; it would look bad on all of us." Shion chastised her lover. "Very well." He sighed in defeat. "Now then you two lovebirds, shall we go have some breakfast? The food is ready." Shion's mother asked them, at which they both nodded and followed her to the dining hall. **XXXXXXXX** **1 month later** A month had passed since Naruto decided to stay and live in the Land of Demons, the people were floored at the sight of the _Fury's Ascent_, a massive starship of epic proportions descended from the sky and stopped right over the mountains. The ship was over 142.7 kilometres long, 138.6 kilometres wide, and 371.4 kilometres high. It was one of the three remaining ships of its class. The other two belonging to the Ur-Didact and Iso-Didact. Naruto's father the Iso-Didact had named him Novi-Didact and gave him the _Fury's Ascent _as a gift. Naruto was saddened that he had to leave and explore the stars, but was also happy that he had been given charge of his own ship. The many Promethean Knights at his command were also at the service of Demon Country, since they swore allegiance to it. Lady Yagyu may had been shocked to say the least, never in her mind would she such a sight. _Flashback_ _1 week after Naruto decided to stay_ _"Lady Yagyu!" a guard called out from the door, "Lady Yagyu something is coming out of the sky!"_ _"What?" Lady Yagyu and her daughter said in unison, they were just casually talking on the balcony. The guard pointed up, and what they saw was a sight to behold, a large metallic object came down from the sky. It was like nothing they had ever seen. The people down at the village just looked up and thought a deity had come. The massive object just stopped and hovered over the mountains. Naruto flashed into existence behind the two women._ _"Naruto! Are you seeing this?" Shion said with her eyes widening, waving her hands and pointing at the large object in the distance._ _The Novi-Didact just laughed, "No need to panic Shion, it's just my ship."_ _"Eh?" the two women turned to him with a dumbfound look, "What do you mean your ship?" Shion asked, she was now confused._ _"The Fury's Ascent, a Forerunner dreadnought created over a hundred thousand years ago by my Father. He gave it to me as a gift before he left to explore the stars." Before he continued a spherical object appeared before them, it had a bright blue light at its center. "Ah I would like to introduce to you all to 097 Guarding Light."_ _"Greetings, as the young master has said, I am 097 Guarding Light, I am both a wartime and a lifeworker Ancilla."_ _"L-Lifeworker? A-Ancilla?" Lady Yagyu stuttered, she was still shocked by this whole ordeal._ _"An Ancilla is what you people call an Artificial Intelligence, we are artificially created sentient beings. And a lifeworker is someone who specializes in medicine and study of life in all its forms." The Ancilla explained._ _"This… is so amazing." Shion breathed heavily as she looked at the Fury's Ascent and then back to Guarding Light. "So that ship is over a hundred thousand years old?"_ _"Yes." The Ancilla nodded, "I too am also a hundred thousand years old, in a way I have helped raised the young master here and helped shape him into what he is today. While his father taught him the ways of combat as a Promethean, I taught him in the ways of a lifeworker and academics."_ _The two women were shocked beyond belief, in front of them was an ancient being, someone far older than the Sage of Six Paths. "The why are you here?" Yagyu asked._ _"The young master has told us that we can call this place our home. The young master had been named Novi-Didact of the Promethean forces inside the Fury's Ascent; in short he is their commander. if you would permit, we would like to call the Land of Demons our home as well, and swear to protect it." The Ancilla explained to them._ _Yagyu was speechless, a contingent of a highly advanced ancient race swearing allegiance to her country. She was in a dream she must be! She slapped her face, trying to wake herself up. Naruto chuckled, "Lady Yagyu I can assure you this is no dream."_ _The high priestess started mumbling in gibberish, Shion was rendered speechless. Once again her lover had done the unexpected. He truly was an unpredictable man._ _End Flashback_ Shion was looking into the distance, gazing at the magnificent ship that is the _Fury's Ascent. _Naruto walked behind her and placed his arms around her by the waist. "Magnificent isn't it?" The princess sighed in awe, "It is, I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing something like that. An ancient ship with advanced technology this world has never seen. And it's yours." "Ours…" "What?" "Shion in the five years I have known you, I have grown closer to you, I have grown to love you more and more as time passed by. You filled the void in my heart, something that I have longed for. You have become my love, and my life." He dropped to one knee, opening a small box, revealing a ring of Forerunner design, the ring was white, a light illuminating on the top. Shion gasped, bringing her hands to her mouth, eyes watering but showing joy. "Princess Shion of the Land of Demons, will you be my wife?" Shion breathed hard, and then…. "Yes… yes I will marry you." **XXXXXXXX** The entire city celebrated. The hero of the Land of Demons betrothed to their princess. From simple cheers to a festival, the city was alive. Music, dancing, and food were everywhere. Inside the main hall, tables were put out for the guests as they enjoyed their food. The many suitors who tried to get Shion's hand in marriage were present as well, they were all jealous that he of all people was chosen to marry her. But how could they match him? He defeated a demon, his prowess in combat was unmatched. And he had the command of the most powerful army in all the Elemental Nations. Although only the country itself knew of their existence. Thanks to advanced Forerunner technology, the _Fury's Ascent _can cloak and render itself invisible to the naked eye. Then again Demon Country barely gets any visitors to begin with as to the rest of the world, they weren't that special. Naruto had been preparing himself for the Chunin exams that would be held in that accursed village he once called home… Konohagakure. He was already the Novi-Didact, commander of all Promethean forces in the Land of Demons and to extension the entire star system, so there was really no need for him to become participate in these exams. But he wanted to show them, he wanted to make them see, how powerful he was. He wanted to see the regret in their eyes, the guilt. But most of all, he had questions he needed answered from the old man himself, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, for lying to him about his parents. He knew his father was dead, but as for his mother… he did not know whether she was alive or not. So he needed answers, and he will force it out of him if he has to. Right now he sighed in content with his wife to be as they ate their food. Another thing Naruto never expected was his status as a Jinchuruki. The people praised him that such a man could hold the most powerful bijuu back. The country's seal masters were amazed by such a complex seal being used, especially the female seal users who were eyeing his abs where the seal was located… Shion got irritated and many of the female students of the seal masters received a beating from the princess for trying to feel him up, claiming they were 'examining' the seal. After the dinner the soon to be wed were on the balcony looking into the distance, where the _Fury's Ascent _was currently hovering above the icy mountains. "So a new chapter of our lives begins." Naruto said. "Do you have to be so formal sometimes when you speak?" Shion giggled. "It's how I was taught to speak by my father." "I like it, makes you unique, one of a kind." Shion snuggled onto his chest, he wasn't wearing his combat skin at the moment. "I love you." "And I love you." Shion frowned a bit, "Tomorrow you go to Konoha, do you have to?" "Yes." Naruto nodded, "I have questions that need to be answered, and the only place I know that can be answered is within that accursed
