Chapter 285 - Chapter 17: The Grim Truth

New York City, Rinnegan Corps

"So what did you find?"

Dressed in his usual crimson, formal suit, Naruto strolled along the corridors of his company's building, moving towards the main office. Tsunade had left back to their Home Dimension after completing her task of finding the source of Trigon's indirect invasion and left specific instructions that she would be needing an entire week of lovemaking as a reward when she got back.

With what she had found, he would give her an entire month of lovemaking if she asked. While he looked at things from a different perspective, Tsunade looked for the small details. She was better suited for such tasks.

Overwhelming cosmic beings was his playing field; small frays were never in his line of thinking. He'd get bored easily and most likely destroy everything in a few miles radius.

"We have found a pattern to all the kidnappings and human possessions happening since last month" Mercy stated, walking beside him in her professional clothing. Her brown locks were as smooth as he remembered, clothes perfectly ironed and clinging to her curvaceous body like a second skin.

She was dressed in a silky white blouse with two of the buttons undone, the shirt straining against her massive mountains of flesh. The rest of the buttons looked as though they would bust any second from the sheer strain of containing such heavy spheres.

The black business skirt only increased the unbridled beauty of her thick, meaty ass, wide hips wobbling from side to side and leggings-clad strong legs flexing as she walked through the corridors with her boss

"I see. Where does it all lead?" Naruto questioned, humming in reflection. Of course the kidnappings and humans being possessed by some kind of supernatural beings would have a pattern to them.

"We have traced the fingerprints from the crystals back to an abandoned island north of Jump City. It is supposedly abandoned but according to our sources, it is inhabited by a cult led by Sebastian Blood Xi" Mercy informed casually.

"Sebastian Blood? Isn't that the real name of the guy calling himself Brother Blood?" Paradox probed interestedly. "The one who runs a cult disguised as a church?"

"The very same, sir. But his secrets turn much darker from there" the busty secretary revealed distastefully, opening the door to the office for Naruto as they stepped inside. "He has been using the kidnapped victims as sacrifices for an ancient ritual to summon a demon"

"Trigon" Naruto ended sharply, nodding in satisfaction as the patterns aligned harmoniously. "What about the crystals and the possessions?"

"From what we've gathered, the ritual is most likely incomplete and only lesser demons are able to pass through the portal in the aftermath. They then possess human hosts to sustain their forms and search for something, we have yet to find out what" the double agent brunette explained confidently, eyes glued to her superior as he sat in his chair with a contemplating expression. "The crystal serves no purpose other than to throw off the government and send them on a wild goose chase till their objective is complete"

"Hmm, it seems I may just have to make a visit to the Titan Tower after all" he pondered quietly, leaning into the softness of the chair. "There is only person on this planet who can possibly be connected to Trigon's invasion and that is Raven"

"Indeed sir" the voluptuous brunette agreed lazily, placing a deck of papers on the table before the redhead. "Before that, I need to have a word with you"

Meaty, phat cheeks deliciously squeezed against one another as the beautiful woman swayed her wide hips provocatively and strolled around the table, shooting a seductive look at her boss.

The redhead followed Mercy's movements as she leaned against the side of his table and seductively shed her clothes away. Well ironed blouse went sailing over her head, releasing a pair of giant meaty orbs of flesh bouncing out into the open air, each jiggle followed keenly by Naruto's hungry gaze.

The tightly stretched skirt soon followed suit, dropping in a dry heap beside the rest of Mercy's discarded garb as she stood before the redhead's hungry gaze in nothing but her stockings and high heels.

Mercy smiled widely and turned around to show off what she had, purposely taking her time to provide her redheaded boss with a close up view of her plump derriere and child-bearing hips.

"What now, Mercy?" Naruto asked in a strained tone, eyes taking in the sight of her alluringly wide and thick hips wobbling from side to side, temptingly longs legs on full display and strongly supporting the sheer fatness of her plump buttocks.

"Oh you know more than anyone what is going to happen next" the brunette retorted with a hungry pout, slowly sliding down the edges of the table to kneel before the redhead. "I am giving you a reward"

"For what exactly?"

"Let's just say I am in the mood to offer my … unique services and you know how much I love giving you rewards" the sexy woman countered hungrily as she unbuckled his crimson pants and reached for his slowly hardening meat. A lewd purr escaped her pouty lips when she was smacked in the face with the thick slab of cock meat, mouth already watering in anticipation. "Missed me that much, huh?"

"I'd normally say that this is not the time" Naruto groaned softly as he tried to control himself while the beautiful woman laid wet butterfly kisses on his shaft for lubrication before moving away, arms hanging limply beside her thick legs. "But I guess I can 'endure' your generous services for now"

"We only have 15 minutes before the bald bastard realizes that I am missing and find some way to occupy my time" Mercy purred back, shooting him a seductive grin from between his spread legs. "Meaning you have 15 minutes to fuck my face to your heart's content"

"Huh?"

"You heard me. Just grab my head and shove your cock down my throat, I don't mind" the brown haired seductress stated casually as she opened her mouth, eager to service the Uzumaki dong. "This is your reward after all, use my mouth like a cock-sleeve and dump your load into my stomach"

Even Naruto couldn't control himself after that incredibly tempting offer. "You have been a very naughty girl, Mercy, who knew you could talk like that? I will have to punish that vulgar mouth of yours"

Grabbing the woman by her hair, the redhead eagerly shoved an entire foot long slab of cockmeat down her throat, groaning in bliss when the traitorous secretary only moaned and gazed up at him with foggy eyes of adoration and lust.

He absolutely loved this woman!

Gym, Mount Justice

It took more than her fair share of confidence, mental preparations and other overdramatic procedures before Artemis could finally open the door to the gym of the Cave and walk inside in her workout clothes.

The blond archer was dressed in simple black booty shorts which, quite obvious from its name, showed off her plump booty and thick thighs quite well, as well as she wanted them to be. A black tank top barely stopped her still developing funbags from tearing it into shreds and bouncing out into the open air in all their jiggling glory.

While she admitted that she was no Wonder Woman, Black Canary, or even the busty Power Girl, she still knew that she was gifted in all the right places. Maybe a little less gifted in the chest department for the time being but then again she was still growing, so there was that to consider.

Nevertheless, she knew one thing for certain. Her body was enough to hypnotize any normal man into a drooling beast of hunger and lust at the mere sight of her. She just hoped the same was the case for the man she wanted to turn into that beast.

"Good morning Paradox" she greeted softly, unintentionally layering her voice with a hint of hunger as she approached the redhead. "You have been do…."

Whatever she was trying to say stopped right there when she saw the man of her recently wet dreams.

Artemis could only gape in absolute astonishment as she watched the sinful but divine sight before her young and impressionable eyes. Right in the middle of the large gym and right in front of her lust-filled and hungry eyes was a shirtless Naruto doing a set of pushups.

Glossy red locks gleamed in the light like ruby, accentuating the sheer glow of his mesmerizing blue eyes. Steel-like and indestructible tanned skin pulled tight over a layer of bulging and stuffed arm muscles, connected to a pair of broad muscular shoulders strong enough to hold the weight of the world.

Stone-like chiseled chest resembling the statue of a fantasy based warrior flexed and twitched as Naruto continued with his workout, inciting a pleasurable wave of tingling sensation to rush through her spine and reach her moistening pussy.

Diamond-like droplets of sweat trailed from his chiseled chest, down his washboard abs resembling a land of steel-like hills stuck upon his abdomen and dripped down onto the floor.

And finally her eyes naturally fell downwards.

'Oh my God, is t-that his…!' Her already gaping wide eyes widened even more when she saw a large bulge in the crotch of his workout pants, no doubt from thick slab of man meat hanging between his muscular legs.

"Hello Artemis" Naruto greeted gently, giving the blonde bombshell a look over his shoulders as he pushed his body up and down. She had no idea just how much weight was actually placed on his back. Sometimes Genjutsu was really neat.

The busty heroine coughed into her hand, shamelessly ogling the redhead as he flexed his body muscles. For fuck sake, why the hell did he always make her dripping wet by just being there!? It made no sense. "B-been working out for some time, huh?"

Once again, she had no idea. "Yeah, gotta keep myself in shape, you know"

"Yeah you do… I mean yes, keeping that delicious body … I MEAN keeping yourself in hunky…. I mean good shape is a necessity of our job"

If Naruto noticed her continuous slips of the tongue, he didn't comment on it, merely nodding in confirmation while moving forward with his bone-breaking workout.

The blonde archer, on the other hand, was mentally slapping herself silly. All those mental boosts of confidence for this? To make a fool of herself in front of the hunk? Way to go Artemis!

"Any plans for the Halloween Celebration, Artemis?" Naruto asked idly, moving to one-handed push-ups as he stared at the blonde for the first time, mentally smirking at her choice of dress. The little minx was out on a hunt and it seems he was the prey.

The masked heroine was grateful for the distraction, mentally sighing in relief as she prepared herself for the conversation. She needed to get a hold of herself or the powerful redhead would never take her seriously when she made the move.

"Nothing specific, I am not much of a party person" she replied guardedly, dropping her bag of gym equipment of a nearby bench. "I might just go with the flow and see where it takes me"

"I see"

A dead silence blanketed the large room soon after, only sounds of Naruto's grunts echoing around the chamber as he continued his workout and mentally counted down the time it would take for Artemis to finally snap and make the first move.

There was no way in hell he was making a move on her.

Listening to the redhead grunt like a disturbed beast, seeing his muscled form flex and rip in ways that made her wetter than she had ever been, Artemis could only try to keep her sanity in check while inside room.

She had come down to talk with the redhead and hopefully get somewhere in this whole crush thing. But it was getting harder to even breathe let alone talk from the hotness of the room.

She hadn't been able to properly sleep after hearing a rumor that the redhead was not only involved with Wonder Woman but also Black Canary and Hawkgirl. The princess had personally admitted that it was indeed the truth.

Whatever reservations she'd had about making a move on another woman's man were long buried. If he was ok with the 3 women together then there should be no reason for him to have a problem with one other joining in.

Besides she was only asking for some quality, mind-numbing fucking from the redhead when the mood strikes her. No sentimental and mushy stuff. Just mindless rutting in times of desires and needs. That was all she was asking for.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

'Say something, you redheaded hunk! Anything at all, just say something or I am gonna go crazy from all these hormone-enhanced thoughts flowing through my head!' Artemis screamed in her mind, almost on the verge of pulling out her hair in frustration.

"Alright, that's it! I can't take this anymore!" she screamed loudly, throwing her hands in the air in frustration as she rounded up on the redhead and glared at him, hands placed on her wide hips. "Can't you see that I am practically begging you to bend me over that bench and fuck me like a bitch?!"

"Artemis, what…"

"I have been giving you tons of signals that I like you, heck I even said it out loud on that mission to the Indian jungle that I fucking want you! Did you give me a response? Hell no!"

"Look Artemis…"

"What's a girl gotta do to make you understand that she needs a big fat cock in her damn pussy?!" she continued on, voice increasing with each word as she irritably approached the now curious redhead. "Does she have to get down on her hands and knees, offer up her greedy cunt before you get the hint to shove your dick where it belongs, huh?"

"…"

"Or maybe you would like a big advertisement board with 'Artemis wants Paradox to fuck her brains out' in bold letters all over the damn continent!" the frustrated blonde screamed out, panting heavily as she stood face to face with the deathly quiet redhead.

Sweat was dripping down her brow, trailing down her beautiful face as she glared daggers at the redhead, pouty lips opening and closing to get as much air as she could to regain her composure. A hint of redness was flashing on her cheeks, both from embarrassment and anger.

"Finally got that out of your system, huh? Feels good, doesn't it?" Naruto commented cheekily, earning a heated glare of mortification from the busty blonde as she realized what she had done.

"Oh s-shut up"

"A girl doesn't need to get down on her hands and knees or any of the stuff you so vividly described, to get my attention" the Dimension Hopper explained gently, wrapping a hand around the blonde's slender waist to near her to his shirtless form, much to her awkwardness. "What she needs is the guts to come clean about her feelings and handle the response"

"…"

"Are you gonna keep rubbing your face into my chest or actually say something?"

"Which response are we talking about? I am a big girl, I can handle both … responses" Artemis finally stated in a hungry voice, wrapping her arms around the shirtless redhead as she gazed into his eyes with open lust. "Care to find out firsthand?"

"Oh you naughty little vixen..." the former Shinobi grinned a foxy grin, inwardly flashing a victory sign at himself when Artemis purred like a horny cat and slammed her lips into his own with animalistic intensity.

Halloween just got a whole lot interesting!

Mission Room

After much intense deliberation and a whole lot of cold water showers, Naruto was able to convince the blonde heroine that it was not time to indulge in their primal activities and that she had to wait just a little bit more for the finale.

She had vehemently refused any and all suggestions, intent on riding him till she was unconscious. He had been left with no choice to move towards second base to appease the girl.

Fingering the living daylights out of her dripping cunt and the explosive orgasm had satiated the girl enough to listen to reasons. Munching on her drooling pussy had convinced her to think over the reasons.

And finally, shoving his cock down her throat had made her accept those reasons after receiving a stomach-ful of his load. Apparently the lust had been so strong that she was not even behaving like herself, more like a cat in heat trying to find the nearest cock to quench her thirst for seed.

An orgasm or a dozen later, she was as meek as a kitten, though much more confident and forward with her advances now that she knew the results of her moves.

Hair still wet from the cold shower he had taken with Artemis, Naruto, dressed in simple clothing, approached the briefing room with a jaunty whistle, intent on witnessing his charges prepare for the holiday celebration.

It was Halloween and he had convinced the team to celebrate to the contents of their hearts. The trip to Paris had gotten exactly the kind of results he had been hoping for. Three days of nonstop fun with no monetary limits, free food and rides had mellowed out the weight of their traumas.

They were back to normal by the end of the trip. Dinah had spread word around that it had been Paradox's idea to do such a thing and it had worked; now they were looking at him like some kind of wise, all-knowing sage.

Since his previous method had worked, Batman, as the primary founder of the team, had no problems with letting him take charge in how to deal with the teenagers. The holiday celebration was his first order of business.

Frankly, Batman had only let him take charge because he knew that Paradox listened to no one anyway.

Seeing a dejected Captain Marvel walk pass him with a visible aura of misery hovering above his head, Naruto couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. What was up with his face? Was that makeup? "Alright, who died to make you so glum?"

"What's with you and your fetish for death anyway?" the dejected Leaguer grumbled, causing Naruto to shrug nonchalantly. "They tricked me"

"Let me guess, they invited the whole team and you thought you would join in because you're technically part of the team?" Paradox commented astutely, earning a blank look from the disguised teen.

"Yeah, rub it in, will you?"

"I have an idea, Billy, mind listening to it?"

"Does the whole League know my identity now!? I thought only the bats knew!"

"Don't worry, no one besides Spooky and I know about your identity" Naruto assured the anxious magic user. "Go somewhere private, turn back to your original form and come back here. I'll deal with the rest"

Despite wanting to enjoy the holiday with people of his age, Billy Batson was still blessed with the knowledge of Solomon and realized that happiness attained through trickery and lies was not true joy.

"I appreciate your help, Naruto but I don't want to trick the team" he replied glumly, looking away from the eyes of the redhead. Man did this guy have some serious stare. When Batman glared at you, it was clear that you've messed up but he could never understand the reason behind this man's stare.

Hearing his reasons, Naruto smiled gently, pleased with his response. "You are truly gifted, Billy. I expected as much from you. Wipe off the makeup and come with me, I have another plan"

Letting a goofy smile play on his face, Captain Marvel followed the redhead with an extra step of excitement. Hey he may be blessed with immense knowledge and in the body of an adult but he was still a teenager and enjoyed simple things in life.

"Hello there guys" Naruto greeted gently as he approached the group of teenagers gathered in the large hall-like room. "Looking good Wally, I am digging the look"

"Finally, someone who understands my genius! Thank you Paradox, you are the man!" Wally shouted in excitement, puffing out his chest in pride as the compliment registered in his mind.

"Looking great, Megan, very convincing. Conner …" Naruto trailed off when he saw the super clone's face half covered by bandages. "What the fuck are you supposed to be? Some kind of fire victim?"

"I am a mummy!" Superboy retorted heatedly, an uncharacteristic redness on his face as he stood up from the bench.

"Oh my bad then" Paradox trailed lazily, snapping towards Captain Marvel when he coughed into his hand. "Oh and team, Captain Marvel will be joining you in the celebration"

"Why?" Kid Flash asked in a suspicious voice, narrowing his eyes at the two senior members of the Justice League. Why would they need a Justice League member to join them on a holiday? Something fishy was going on here.

"A guy going by the name 'Harm' stole an ancient sword from a museum last night and killed the guards in the aftermath. He has been known to harbor hatred for masked heroes and digging up information about them. He may target you during the party" Naruto explained firmly, mixing truth and lies together to form a likely reason. "Captain Marvel will be with you, just in case. Don't worry; you won't even notice him around you. Just enjoy the party"

Fortunately for the redhead, the team bought the excuse … hesitantly since he had never lied to them.

"If you are going after this 'Harm' creep, then so am I" Artemis announced from behind the redhead as the team left via Zeta beams, followed by an excited Billy.

"Up already? I thought it would take you some time to recover from what I did to you in the showers" Naruto commented cheekily, turning around to face the blonde heroine.

"Nothing short of ramming every inch of that hunky cock inside my cunt is gonna keep me down for long" she replied hungrily, a rare and unusual glint of primal lust glinting in her eyes as she approached the redhead with a seductive sway to her wide hips. "Especially now that I've seen just how much of a fat monster you're packing under those pants of yours."

Naruto smirked inwardly, excited by the new shift in her personality. A few orgasms from fingering her little twat, eating out said hole and then shoving his cock down her gullet was enough to cause such drastic changes. He was excited to know what outright rutting would accomplish.

"Let's go"

Manhattan

"So how do we find this creep?" Artemis asked pointedly as they raced through the streets of Manhattan on a bike.

"We are not finding him, he will be coming to us" Paradox answered smugly, roaring through the streets on the transformed Sphere. Superboy had been utterly shocked to find that the orb he had been gifted with was more comfortable being around Naruto than him.

The boy did not realize that Sphere has always been close to him but since he was busy most of the time and out of the cave for longer periods of time, the mechanical orb had befriended him.

"How so?"

"He will be searching for an opponent to test his new found power. We just make a big fuss in taking out a few thugs and the guy will be all over us"

"I'd rather have you all over me" she retorted huskily, placing her head on the nook of his neck, gently nibbling on his earlobe.

"Can you stop fondling my dick?"

"I need handholds to steady myself, you know" the blonde archer countered hungrily, nimble fingers trailing circles over the bulge of his crotch. "Luckily for me, you have this big, fat handhold for me to grab and enjoy while doing it"

Luckily for Artemis, it was almost midnight and very few people were on the streets. Otherwise she wouldn't have been able to even look at his crotch, let alone fondle it.

"So you refused to ride a separate bike just to fondle me?" Naruto asked incredulously.

"Yes and no"

"I am disappointed in you, Artemis, I thought you were thinking of something kinky during the ride" the redhead stated surprisingly, earning a somewhat shocked look from the blonde archer. "Like a blowjob or at the very least a handjob"

"Wait… you want me to whip your dick and stroke it in the middle of the street?" Yes she was much more confident and forward with her advances and word, but doing something like that was too alien to her.

She had been a reserved but still confident girl a few hours ago. There was no way in hell she would be motivated enough to stroke a guy's dick in the middle of the street while in her heroine outfit. She had a reputation to uphold.

"If you are gonna play this game, then you need to keep the stakes high" he retorted smugly, turning around a corner to speed into the highway. "But I really shouldn't expect such boldness from a newbie anyway"

Unless he said something like that!

"I will show you a newbie!" the blonde archer growled and reached for the zipper of his pants, slamming it down and pulling out a big slab of man-meat into the open. "Why the hell do you have such a big dick!?"

As soon as she looked down at the thick and large hardened meat jutting between his legs, she was already feeling a low in her confidence level. She was starting to even question herself as to how she had swallowed this monster down her throat.

She must have been freakishly drunk on her lust to notice the size.

"Can't handle it?" the Dimension Hopper baited.

"I can handle anything you can throw at me!"

Man, why were all women so easy to bait when their pride as females was challenged? Even Diana and Shayera, hailing from warrior races, were the same in that regard.

"What are you doing?" Naruto asked in a confused tone when Artemis removed her hands around his waist and popped her head through the gaps of his hands placed on the handles.

"Proving to you that I can handle anything!" the busty girl sneered heatedly, grabbing his jutting cock by the base and bringing her mouth down on the meat, swallowing as much as she could with one fell swoop.

"Fuck!" Paradox almost ran the bike over the side of the highway when the sensations of having his pole engulfed by a warm hole reached his brain. She must have been more hurt by his comment than he realized if the angry manner in which she was bobbing her head up and down his shlong was any indication.

Needless to say, the redhead placed one hand on Artemis's bobbing head, gently guiding the archer to slide her pouty lips up and down the jutting meat pole while he rode through the streets of Manhattan and took out goons from the back of his bike.

Man was it the best ride ever. After all, how many people can brag about saving the day on the back of a speeding bike while having his dick sucked off by a blonde heroine in a skimpy green suit? No one that's who!

An Hour Later

An entire 60 minutes of uselessly roaming around the streets with no sign of the thief, Naruto had decided to take things into his own hands and force him to come out. At least, the first half of the ride had been somewhat productive.

Certainly having Artemis's vacuum-like mouth bobbing up and down on his meat, stretching out her throat from the stuffing and then unloading a massive stream of jizz directly into her stomach was productive, right?

Of course!

But Artemis apparently disagreed… not entirely but on the part about not going the whole distance. After another 10 minutes of arguing, the blonde archer relented and went home to keep herself distracted.

Sphere had been kind enough to give her a ride home. He stayed to see things through till the end.

Making a trip to the museum where the thief had been a few hours ago, Naruto collected enough personal date to track down the man to his house. The data he gathered revealed something extraordinary and he had to make other adjustments to get to the untainted truth.

A nice little abode in the south of Manhattan. Nice neighborhood and quiet streets, almost too quiet.

Touching down on the front gate of the house, Naruto slipped right into through the door and made his way into the back of the structure. He could feel the life force of the man as he walked through the house and kicked open the door to the back, lazily strolling out into the open.

Harm was standing before a make-shift grave, quite small from the looks of it and holding his sword in hand. At least that was what he had been doing before he kicked opened the door and walked out. Now the man was glaring daggers at him.

"Who dare attack Harm's sacred place?" Harm growled angrily, channeling his hatred directly into the sword to prepare for an attack.

Naruto eyed the young man with a raised eyebrow, eyes moving up and down on his form. Harm was a muscular black haired man with a claw mark on the left side of his face. Aside from his simple clothing of long overall and gray pants, only the glow of a certain power on his chest stood out from his appearance.

"You are Harm?"

"Harm recognizes the it" the tall boy started in a composed tone. "It is known as Paradox of the Justice League, Harm is not impressed by what he sees"

"You haven't seen anything yet, little boy" Naruto retorted lazily, nonchalantly strolling around the backyard to inspect some of the flowers and shrubbery. "Or should I say William Billy Hayes?"

"It has no right to speak of Harm's true name!" he yelled angrily, making an electrical wave of energy shoot at the unaware redhead. His eyes widened widely when the attack connected but the powerful redhead continued his inspection of the plants without a hint of pain of surprise.

"Struck a nerve there, huh?"

"Harm shall see to it that the insolent it is destroyed!"

"Come on, don't get so worked up. Can't we just have a normal and civilized conversation?" the Dimension Hopper asked lazily, plopping down on the dirty ground beside the grave, leaning against the wooden headpiece. "So how was it?"

"Harm does not understand it's question" Billy Hayes Aka Harm asked patiently, a dangerous glint of pure anger and hatred brimming in his eyes when he saw the redhead lean against the place he had deemed 'sacred'.

"You know, stabbing your sister to death with that dagger? Must have been pretty satisfying to see the light leave her eyes and watch as she breathed her last?" Naruto asked in a blank tone, devoid of any emotion as he stared at the stars from the backyard. "Greta Hayes, right? Nice name, too bad she kicked the bucket so soon"

If Harm though that the look of absolute regret in his eyes was hidden, then he was sorely mistaken.

"It is correct. She was the only one Harm ever loved, so she had to go. Harm had to be pure of heart to wield the power" William replied, a savage grin on his scarred visage.

"Then why do I see regret in your eyes?"

"What!? It speaks lies!"

"Tell me something, little boy" Paradox started smoothly, eyes still focused on the glittering stars of the night sky. "Was the power Buzz promised you worth the life of your sister?"

Fear brew in the hatred filled heart of the villain as he stared in shock at the redhead, taking a step back when he stood up and directed a flat gaze at him. "H-how did …"

"How did I know that you actually sacrificed the life of your sister just because a pathetic little demon promised you power? Let's just say that I do" the former Shinobi finished darkly, taking calm steps towards the shivering villain as the balance of power was disturbed by his feelings. "So she was expendable just because she was not your real sister?"

"No, that's not it! Harm loved her more than any living creature in this world" the black haired villain shouted in denial, losing his grip on the sword.

"Yet you had no problem with stabbing her to death with that dagger? Yeah I can certainly see the love in that"

"Buzz promised me that she'd be resurrected!" he tried to reason, desperately trying to shove the thoughts of uncertainty to the back of his mind. The demon had promised him that Greta would come back to him. That she would be resurrected as an immortal and never leave his sight.

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "How long was that?"

That gave Harm the pause as realization struck him. 2 years since Greta's sacrifice. 2 years since he had stabbed his sister to death in a gruesome manner and watched as she bled to death, all the while convincing himself that he was doing it for her good.

If she was resurrected as an immortal, he would never have to worry about her ever leaving him alone. He'd have his sister back forever. A few minutes of pain were worth enduring for eternal happiness.

But he had been so engrossed in his quest to do the bidding of the despicable demon that he hadn't realized just how much time had passed her death. Buzz had promised her return within a few days!

"No! NO! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!"

Before the man could lose himself in confusion, self-loathing and hatred, the powerful redhead shot forth and slammed his hand straight into his chest, earning an agonizing scream from the black haired man.

"This is what Buzz has been using to manipulate you into doing his bidding and committing murders in order to increase his power" Paradox muttered grimly as he pulled out a crimson mass of crystalized energy from Harm's chest.

"W-what is that?" Billy asked in a strained voice, dropping to his knees in pain as memories after memories of his past two years flooded his mind. "W-what have I d-done!"

"This is a crystalized energy, used to manipulate humans by attaching them to their hearts and making them commit heinous crimes in order to increase the power of the manipulator" the redhead explained blankly, crushing the energy mass in his hands in a show of strength.

This was practically a hobby of the pathetic demon. Making innocent humans do his bidding for his own twisted ambitions. He would have to make a visit to his abode as soon as possible for a little chat.

"G-greta! W-what happened to G-greta!" the now completely normal man sobbed miserably, holding his head in crushing pain. "W-what happened to my sister!?"

Sighing in resignation, Naruto placed a hand on the crying man's shoulder and helped him up. While he had come to Manhattan to deal with the criminal, his mind had been changed after seeing his history.

He was a victim and victims needed the benefit of the doubt as well as a second chance at life.

"Calm down, boy" Naruto comforted gently, patting the sobbing former criminal on the back as he cried in anguish. "I have some news for you"

"P-please just kill me, I-I can't live like this! I can't live knowing that I k-killed my only s-sister!" the sword wielder screamed in pain, tears of anguish streaming down his face as he ran towards the grave of his sister and dropped to his knees. "H-how could I live knowing that I took the l-life of a sister I loved more than life itself!?"

"Greta is alive"
