I don't own the picture used...it belongs to their creator.

As Lincoln was heading downstairs, Jaune was being helped by his best friend...Naruto. He reminded him somewhat of Sun due to his sunshine personality that he shows to everyone. But..he also knew that he was broken inside due to his bad past in his home dimension too.

"So you wanted me to help you with your stuff?" Naruto asked.

"Yup." Jaune said.

"While also bringing my own like you knew that I was going to fall for him too?" Jaune said.

"Can you blame me? Lincoln really has a way to helping people through their problems. He even helped Percy who was wary around strangers." Jaune said.

"Percy? Well, that's surprising." Naruto said as Jaune knocked on the door and waited for a couple of seconds. As he did so, Naruto thought about what he just heard. Could he possibly help him with his past too? He was taken out of his thoughts when Lincoln opened the door.

"Jaune! You got all your stuff?" Lincoln asked.

"Yep. And I took the liberty of taking Naruto's things too." Jaune said.

"Naruto?" Lincoln said before he noticed the blonde haired nine tailed boy. 

"That's me. I was hoping to just drop off Jaune's things, but he convinced me to bring mine as well." Naruto said.

"Then I guess you're moving in as well. I think Butters is right...I already have two more falling for me today." Lincoln said as he led Naruto and Jaune to their rooms. He was about to go until Naruto called him and asked to speak to him.

"Is everything alright Naruto?" Lincoln asked.

"If I have to be honest then not really. I was hoping for some advice to get through my past." Naruto said.

"Then I'm all ears." Lincoln said.

"Like Jaune, I lived most of my life in another dimension where ninja still exist. Despite it sounding cool, my past isn't pleasant because of one of the nine tailed beasts called the Kyuubi." Naruto said.

"It sounds like you blame him for your troubles." Lincoln said.

"I don't blame him for anything. My family and village on the other hand...are to blame. Because they only saw me as the Kyuubi reborn. Which is stupid considering that he was sealed inside me and my mother also had him inside her." Naruto said.

"That doesn't sound right. There lives would've been destroyed if not for him being sealed inside you." Lincoln said.

"At least you saw it that way. They always tried to kill me or just abuse me for something that I can't even control. It didn't help that my "godfather" came back and told of a prophecy in which my brother, Menma would bring peace to everyone." Naruto said.

"And I'm guessing that Menma isn't going to bring peace to the land." Lincoln said.

"Nope. The prophecy was talking about me, but my idiot parents and godparents believed that it was Menma. So much so that they gave him my birthright and lots of girls to marry. Luckily for me that I managed to use a seal to send myself to this dimension before the destruction of the Elemental Islands." Naruto said.

"You're right...your parents and godparents are idiots. They shouldn't have placed one child over another just for a prophecy that has been misread. Naruto, you are amazing to not only get through what you did and coming here to gain the life that you have right now." Lincoln said.

"I..I just feel like none of this is real. Like I'm the actual Kyuubi." Naruto said.

"That's wrong and you know it. You are not the Kyuubi and deserve to be with people who actually care for you. Forget the village and your family...they won't see reason until it's thrown into their faces. Before you say that I don't know what I'm talking about...I lived with ten sisters who always treated me like a second class citizen. They didn't see how it effect me until it got to this point and I'm sure that they will see the same once they realize that you're gone." Lincoln said which caused Naruto to hug Lincoln.

"I can see how you managed to win so many hearts." Naruto said.

"What can I say...I'm a good listener." Lincoln said as the two continued to hug unaware that Ben was watching and wondering if he could do the same for him. At the same time, Lynn was staring at the wall and wondering how sports changed her.

"Lynn...Are you okay?" Lucy said.

"No. I'm not okay. I kept thinking back on my sports career and how I changed for the worst." Lynn said.

"It'll be okay Lynn. We're all doing self reflection on what Mom and Dad told us." Lucy said.

"I know that. I'm just disgusted on my actions. Making my teammates follow rules that involve not going to the bathroom into the end of the game. It's a miracle that they didn't have an accident on the field." Lynn said.

"Listen, you're not the only disgusted by her actions. Remember the Princess Pony incident." Lucy said.

"Yeah. Lincoln admitted that he read it and flushed it down the toilet." Lynn said.

"He didn't read it. I was the one who was reading Princess Pony and Lincoln took the fall for me." Lucy said.

"What?" Lynn said.

"I heard what some of you guys said about being a laughing stock so Lincoln took the fall. He helped me so much with my issues yet I did nothing as he was kicked outside of the house." Lucy said.

"He'll forgive you Lucy. He might not forgive me though for everything that I did to him." Lynn said.

"He will. You just need to show that you changed for the better. Besides he's not one to hold a grudge for too long." Lucy said as the sisters hugged each other. As they did, Luan walked away and went to her own room. She didn't mean to eavesdrop on their conversion..she just heard it on her way back to her and Luna's bedroom. 

"Sigh....If only we realized all of this before." Luan said as she laid down on her bed. Wondering if her brother was safe and sound somewhere far away.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter....Bye 👋
