Chapter 39 - Chapter 41

"So let's start the introductions." Dragon said and nudged his son to start.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, a good fight and my dad. My dream is to knock that Hokage hat off old third." Naruto said with a beaming smile aimed towards the boy with orange hair in front of him.

"Nice to meet you, Naruto. My name is Jūgo, 15 years old. No family. I am a student of master Dragon. I like master Dragon for his kindness and strength and i also enjoy ramen." This was Jūgo's first introduction ever, so it was a little awkward because he didn't know what to say.

"OH! Ramen is the best, right. I will take and show you the best place ever." Naruto said with enthusiasm.

"Later, Naruto. Now that introductions are done, Jūgo and i have something to do." Dragon beckoned for Jūgo to come and sit in front of him.

"This will not hurt but it might feel very strange. Remember to focus on staying calm, that will make this easier." Dragon placed his hand on Jūgo's head and the boy closed his eyes on command and concentrated on keeping his emotions in place.

'Do it now'

The process started and Jūgo immediately felt the natural energy inside his body essentially being guided bu an unknown presence. Suddenly it was like there existed a void inside his body and that's now where the energy were being led to.

"Stay calm, Jūgo. I can feel your emotions going astray." Dragon said and watched the boy breath in and out with a lot of difficulty.

Killing intent started to rise in the surrounding and it kept growing while the boy in question was frowning and feeling his control slipping away from him slowly.

"Master, i can't h..hold on.." Jūgo was struggling and he felt like he would loose it in just a few seconds. Dragon started speaking with a voice full of kindness. And an aura of tranquility and calmness appeared and combated the ever-rising killing intent.

"Jūgo. I am here for you, you are safe here. You are the master of your own body and it's energy. It can only control you if you let it." The aura of tranquility and kindness grew so strong that even Naruto that was watching on the sidelines started tearing up.

"I can't hold on.. It i-is taking over." Jūgo wanted to scream and the feeling to destroy and kill grew almost higher then ever before.

A hand suddenly landed on Jūgo's own.

"I don't know what's going on with you, Jūgo. But trust my dad. He is kind and caring. He is strong and handsome." Naruto said with a kind and also a mischievous smile.

"And some times even a little too overprotective. But I believe in him and so should you. Don't let the bad thoughts take hold off you. My dad helped me deal with them, now let him help you as well."

Naruto felt a connection to the struggle going on inside Jūgo. Naruto's chakra was transferring over to Jūgo and with them came all of Naruto's genuine feelings.

He couldn't explain how he knew or how he felt it. But he did. He could feel the anger, anxiety and fear that existed within Jūgo.

"You are among family, Jūgo. We take care of our family." The interjection from Naruto seemed to have helped because tears were falling like a waterfall from Jūgo's eyes. And he could feel the kindness and care to come off the two people in front of him.

"I-I'm fine..." He couldn't believe it. The anger, the killing intent. It was diminishing and he didn't know-how.

"You no longer have to fight that horrible feeling within you. From now on. I can properly start your training. I will teach you to master the natural energy within you." Dragon said and removed his hand from Jūgo's head and smiled like the kindest old man.

"Thank you, master Dragon." Jūgo said and bowed while wiping the tears from his face.

"You see! I told you our family is the best!" Naruto said and gave Jūgo an encouraging hit on the back. He used a little too much force and Jūgo fell forwards.

"Naruto, He is a fellow student now. Don't hit him with that much force." Dragon said with a real parent tone.

"Sorry, sorry, it was a little payback for attacking me out of nowhere." Naruto rubbed the back of his head nonchalantly.

"Okay, come on Jūgo! We have some Ramen to eat!" Naruto grabbed Jūgo's arm before he could interject and was quickly dragged out of the house.

As they disappeared, Dragon sat there and pondered about what to do. He wanted to go and meet Gildarts and Sylvia again, but he had no idea when to leave, how to explain it to Naruto, or even if he should. He just didn't know what to do.

'System, can you make it so that the only form that anyone that ever met me will know is this one i am using now. Like how you did here with putting me into the history books.'

[Yes. It is possible. The system needs another 6 months and 3 days to fully get back all the lost divine energy.]

'That's fine. How long until the Uchiha massacre is supposed to take place?' Dragon had a plan regarding this. He planned to stop it and take control of the clan entirely. He researched what becomes of Sasuke and Itachi and he doesn't want that for either of them.

[Danzo Shimura has already told Itachi about the ultimatum. Shall the system notify the host when Itachi and Obito Uchiha is about to act.]

'Tell me a week before it happens.'

He believed that now that he had the capabilities of doing something about that, he should. He knew who made it happen and he knew who would help Itachi that night. That spiral kid is about to experience the scare of a lifetime.
