Hello everyone, Poke'boy24 back with the next chapter of Love of a Demon Girl as well the second part of Naruto's forced employment under Slade.

I DON'T own Naruto nor Teen Titans, so let's continue where we've left off shall we…

/ / / / /

/ / /(Ch 6: Slave to Slade: Part 2)/ / /

Making his way into the hideout, Naruto ripped off his mask and stormed his way towards Slade and his 'throne' throwing the thermal blaster towards him which he caught with ease.

"There, you have what you want." The Shinobi sneered as he glared at the Mercenary.

"Excellent work, you would make a fine apprentice. Perhaps even better than Robin could ever be." Slade commented while examining the weapon he had the whiskered blond steal for him.

"This deal won't save you forever, sooner or later, your plans will fail, and I'll be there to kill you." The Uzumaki firmly stated since this was a promise, and Naruto Uzumaki never goes back on a promise.

Slade said nothing unfazed at the threat as monitors appeared next to Naruto, catching his attention. "The Titan's still have no idea that my chronoton detonator was more than a decoy. Now that my probes are inside their bodies, they could remain undetected for years, decades even." The footage showed each of the Titans getting shot and then the diagrams of the probes attaching themselves to their blood cells. "Unless, of course, you disobey me, and I decide to destroy them all with a push of a button." He warned as the next scene to show on the screens was when the Uzumaki saved Raven from her fall.

Naruto could only scowl in understanding because if he tried to save any of them, then they would all die. "Am I going to steal something else now?" he demandingly asked, knowing this wasn't over.

"Your next target is in Wayne Enterprises." Slade said as he went over to a workbench and made a few adjustments to the thermal blaster before walking back over to his forced underling where he attached the blaster to his wrist and stepped back allowing the Blond Author to examined it and flexed his wrist as the weapon itself was attached to a brace below his palm as the weapon fired, destroying one of the screens next to him. "I'll send you the details of what I want when you get there." The masked Man simply said as he stepped into the shadows of his lair leaving only his single eye visible.

Still holding his scowl, Naruto simply picked up and put on the mask before leaving, making sure to slam the door off its hinges on his way out.

Slade just watched him leave before turning back towards his monitor as he examined each Titans' biological scan and made sure to note of anything interesting.

Back at the Titans' Tower, Raven appeared and saw each member of the team were working on figuring out Slade's motive and whoever this new person was as Starfire was the first to notice her appearance as she floated over to the Sorceress.

"Friend-Raven, is everything okay?" the Tamaranean Princess asked as her fellow heroine just glanced at her and shook her head lightly before speaking loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"Robin, can I speak to you for a moment?" she asked with seriousness as the Boy Wonder wanted to say that he was too busy, but hearing how serious she was he walked over to her.

"Raven, what's wrong?" he asked as the Bluette brought him over to the other side of the room so that no one else would hear them.

"I think I know who the person working for Slade is." She said with her usual stoic tone, but internally, she was worried.

Robin's eyes widened upon hearing that the team's Sorceress knew the identity of the person they've recent fought. "Who is it?" he asked in a demanding sounding tone wanting to know who Slade had working for him.

"Before I say who it is, I'm not entirely sure he's actually working for Slade. I think he's being blackmailed somehow." Raven explained, putting the Gotham Hero in deep thought.

"Who is it?" he still demanded because the sooner they know the person's identity, the sooner they'll find Slade.

The Halfling hesitated before finally speaking. "I think its Naruto. I can't explain how I know, I just do." She said as Robin spun around and was about to run to the computer before she firmly grabbed his arm. "Robin, if it really is Naruto, then I don't think he's doing this willingly." She said as she knew the Uzumaki wouldn't willingly steal nor actually do something for Slade since she'd told him about their past encounter with the Mercenary.

The Boy Wonder seems to think about it before carefully asking. "Do you trust him?" he asked since his mentor taught him to never let personal feelings cloud his judgment.

The Demoness was surprised by the question, but she already knew the answer. "Yes." She answered without her voice wavering in the slightest, showing she really did trust Naruto.

Sighing at how this might get complicated, Robin crossed his arms slightly shaking his head. "Okay, if you trust him, then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Do you know how he's being blackmailed at all?" he asked as the Bluette just shook her head not knowing what Slade even had to blackmail her friend. "Alright, let's check out his place. Maybe we'll find something there." He suggested since the best place to start would be where Naruto lives.

"I was just there." Raven said getting a surprised look from Robin. "What? I wanted to make sure it was Naruto. Anyway, when I got inside there was a chair overturned and cracks in the wall, like someone was thrown against it." She said while telling her leader what she had saw when she went to his apartment.

"Was that all?" Robin asked with her nodding. "That's not much to go on. Take me there any way, there might be something you missed." He said getting to nodded as she readied a portal while he turned back to the team. "We'll be back. We're just checking out a lead and be back soon." He informed the rest of the Titans as he and the Sorceress stepped through the portal.

/ / /

Arriving inside Naruto's apartment, Robin glanced around and raised an eyebrow at how plain everything was as he easily saw the chair and wall and checked them over as the chair told him nothing before going examined the wall accidentally kicking something on the floor.

Looking down, he saw pieces of metal that didn't fit with anything in the apartment as he kneeled down and picked one of the pieces up so he could look at it closely. "I know this, these pieces are from Slade's mask." He said immediately identifying the pieces of metal.

"So that means Naruto had managed to pin Slade to the wall somehow meaning he'd fought back." Raven said feeling even more worried for her friend if Slade came to see him in person.

Before Robin could say anything, his communicator went off. "Cyborg, have you found anything?" he asked answering wondering if the team's technological expert found something regarding either Slade or Naruto.

"{Maybe, there was a silent alarm tripped at Wayne Enterprises, might be connected to Slade}"Cyborg replied informing the other two Titans about the break-in to the Leader's Mentor's company building.

"Best to check it out even if it's nothing, we'll meet you there." The Titan leader said before hanging up as he then turned towards the Sorceress. "Do you know where Wayne Enterprises is?" he asked as she nodded and made a portal that let them sink into the ground.

Breaking open a vent, Naruto jumped down into a large room before glancing around to make sure no one was around.

Seeing that he was alone, he walked over to the only device in the room that was just oddly floating under a spotlight. "Who the hell design these places?" he muttered to himself as he grabbed the device.

"Naruto!" he suddenly heard Raven's voice, making him freeze with his hand on the device as he turned around and saw all of the Titans at the entrance.

Sighing, the Uzumaki pulled off the mask making everyone but Raven and Robin gasp at who it was as he looked at them and could see the hurt and confusion in the Bluette's eyes as he hated himself for causing that look. "What gave it away?" he asked, pocketing the device since he was still on a mission, he doesn't even want to do but had to.

"That energy you used, I recognized it from before." She answered sensing the same demonic energy he had used to escape along with that night.

Naruto just stood silence not even going to make a reply since he mentally face-palmed forgetting that he had used his demonic Chakra to escape her magical bindings. "You guys aren't going to let me walk out of here, are you?" he questioned rhetorically since he doesn't want to fight them but sadly the choice wasn't his to make.

"What do you think?" asked Beast Boy as he changed into a Gorilla and roared pounding his chest as the rest of the Titan were prepared to fight while the Blond Shinobi glanced upward towards the vent above them since it would be easy to just evade all of them and leave without hurting any of them.

"{Do not run, fight them now.}"He heard Slade ordered as if he had read his thoughts.

"I've got the device, why can't I just leave?" he quietly asked with none of the Titans being able to hear him since he already has what the Mercenary wanted.

"{Fight them, or I'll end them!}"Slade firmly commanded through the earpiece making the Uzumaki scowl as he threw away the mask and ran towards the Titans.

"AAAAWWW-AAAAWWWWRRR! !" the Green-colored Gorilla roared as he jumped at the Blond, aiming to grab him and end the fight only to his shock and surprise his opponent easily caught his large fist and proved himself stronger as he swung the Primate around and against a wall.

Starfire then flew at him and fired a few Star-bolts at his feet. "Please Friend-Naruto, why are you doing this?!" she begged wanting to know why her new friend would commit such thievery for their worst villain.

Sighing, the Shinobi crouched down and leaped at the Princess. "Sorry Star, this is something I just have to do." He reluctantly said grabbing her by her shoulder and flipped her towards the floor as he prepared to drop-kick her.

Seeing that he was refusing to back down, the Alien Girl's eyes glowed green as she flew back grabbing the Uzumaki's incoming foot before hurling him out the window where he immediately used his chakra to scale up the wall as she followed him as she threw a fist but was surprised when he caught it with ease before kneeing her in the stomach and slammed her against the wall knocking her towards the ground.

Quickly splinting up towards the roof of the building, Naruto was blindsided by Robin who had appeared through a portal with his Bo-staff and managed to hit him in the head with it knocking him off-balance as Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy also emerged from the portal.

"Is Slade blackmailing you?!" the Gotham resident shouted clearly angry at seeing Starfire get hurt.

"…" Naruto said nothing as he rubbed his head a little as he then pulled out two Kunais which he twirled around before running towards Robin who had managed to block one but wasn't quick enough to avoid the one aimed at his feet giving him to opportunity to spin around as he kicked his Bird-themed opponent hard enough to not only knock him off his feet, but also caused him to roll across the ledge as he held unto it to keep himself from falling.

Seeing Cyborg aiming his arm at him, he threw a Kunai directly into his sonic cannon's barrel as the blade wasn't only deeply lodged ii it, but also causing it to short circuit. "What?!" the cybernetic Titan exclaimed as he looked at his damaged arm only to quickly notice the interior was glowing. "Crap!" he shouted as it exploded, destroying his forearm as the explosion also knocked him against the 'I' of the building's large sign.

Leaping over, Naruto then placed a disc on his chest that suddenly electrified him into unconsciousness.

"Alright dude, now you really unleashed the beast!" Beast Boy exclaimed as he transformed into a Tiger and pounced towards the Uzumaki only to be blinded by a puff of smoke as well finding a log underneath him leaving him confused long enough for his opponent to drop from the 'R' of the sigh to deliver an Axe-kick directly onto his head shifting his form back to normal while also knocking him unconscious with snot and saliva seeping from his nose and mouth.

Knowing there was only one person left, the Shinobi turned around to see Raven staring at him. "I never wanted to do this." he admitted not wanting to fight his friend after taking down the rest of her team.

"Then please stop." she begged wanting him to stop all of this.

"I can't… I just can't…" He said sounding as though he was fighting himself before raising his arm aiming the Thermal blaster and prepared to fire but stopped as he clenched his hand and felled to his knees as he punched the roof refusing to continue fighting just as Robin pulled himself back up onto the roof.

"{Then I will…}"he then heard Slade say causing him to widen his eyes and looked towards the Blue-haired Titan as she looked confused for a second before suddenly feeling agonizing pain everywhere within her entire body.

"Whaaaaaaggg… haaaaappeniiiiiing!?" she cried out as it felt like her entire being was being stabbed, electrocuted, and burned all at the same time as it wasn't just her, but the rest of the Titans as the sudden pain was causing them all to cry out. "AAAAAAAAGGGGGGG! ! !" Unable to contain it, she screamed in agony as she fell to her knees while her powers caused the building's sign and windows to completely shatter.

Naruto ran to her side, holding her hand in deep worrying as he could see the same thing happening to the rest of the Titans as they all screamed and shouted in agonizing pain. "Stop this! Please!" he shouted, begging Slade to stop this as he doesn't want to watch his friends suffer.

"{The only way for it to stop is if you attack her! !}"Slade shouted as he slammed his fist down onto his chair as he pressed the button again intensifying the pain he was putting the Titans through.

Tears formed in the Uzumaki's eyes refusing to do this but then widened them when he felt a hand on his cheek causing him to look downward as he saw the Sorceress looking at him with her face scrunched up in pain. "It's okay… Just do it, attaaaack meeee…" she said through gritted teeth, having barely managed to overhear Slade's voice through his earpiece.

Closing his eyes, Naruto stood and aimed the thermal blaster as he saw his friend nodding her head. "AAAAAAAAHHHHH! !" With a shout, he fired hitting the Halfling in the chest, knocking her unconscious.

Almost immediately, everyone stopped screaming as the pain faded away leaving him to look around as saw that everyone else was unconscious due to the immense pain they felt.

"I'm sorry…" he whispered to Raven before running away all while having a look of pure rage as his eyes flashed red as his pupils became slits. 'I'm ending this now!' he thought as he vanished in a burst of speed knowing exactly where to go.

/ / /

A few moments later and the Titans began to wake up one by one.

"What the hell happened?" Beast Boy groaned as he rubbed his head before noticing the dribble over her face and chest as well a cartoonish large bump on his head.

"Naruto handed our asses to us, that's what happened~" Cyborg replied holding his damaged arm as few sparks flickered from the damaged circuits.

"It's not his fault, he didn't have a choice…" Raven dishearteningly said catching everyone's attention as she held herself as few tears seeped from her eyes.

"What do you mean 'he didn't have a choice'?! He could have just beat us and walked away! But instead, he somehow tortured us all!" the green-skinned shapeshifter shouted wiping the snot and drool off his face before wincing in pain as he now took notice of the swollen lump on his head.

"That wasn't him!" the Demoness shouted back surprising everyone as she stood up and stomped her way towards the Changeling as she roughly grabbed his aching shoulders. "Naruto refused to attack me, and then the pain started. I think it was Slade that did that, not Naruto." She aggressively said glaring at her teammate for accusing her friend of doing that to them

Cyborg looked at his other arm activating a scanner. "My scanners aren't picking anything up, but if we head back to the tower then I should be able to figure out what happened." He suggested since he'll need to replace his damaged arm as everyone returned towards their headquarters to regroup.

/ / /

Slade stared at the screen in front of him watching Naruto defeating the Titans but frowned at how he refused to hurt Raven as well at how he apologized before leaving her as he glanced down at the smaller screen in front of him trying to formulate a plan in his head before he heard footsteps behind him. "You did well, but if I see you hesitate like that again, then I'll kill them all." he stated as he turned and looked at his apprentice.

"Not if I kill you first~" Naruto growled as he suddenly punched the Mercenary in the face managing to punch the man right through his own chair and into the screens behind him. "You did something that no one has done in years, not since I left my home." He said glaring towards the person who'd forced him to hurt his friends.

Rubbing his jaw, Slade stood up and glared towards the Uzumaki. "And what would that be?" he asked popping his shoulder as he clenched his fists ready to fight.

"You pissed me off!" he shouted tapping into Kyubi's chakra giving him power as his features changed with his teeth turning into fangs, his nails into claws, his whisker marks deepened as he let out a furious feral sounding snarl.

If it was anyone else, they would be terrified, but Slade slowly stood and pulled out a Bo-staff ready to knock his apprentice back to his place.

/ / /

In the Titan's Coms room, Beast Boy was covered in wires as Cyborg typed into a computer. "I found something." he announced as a picture of the Changeling's blood cells appeared on the screen. "The enhanced sensors are picking up radio interference on a nanoscopic scale." He explained as everyone gasped when they saw small devices latch onto every blood cell in sight as they could all make out the familiar 'S' symbol on each device.

"Those things are inside me?! EEEEW! !" the Shapeshifter whined with a disgusted expression, cringing as he felt extremely violated.

"They're inside all of us, billions of them. That's how Slade did what he did to us." The cybernetic Titan said now understanding why they all recoiled in pain during their fight against Naruto.

"If that's true, then Slade could destroy us at any moment." Robin spoke with his arms crossed and eyes narrowed now realizing that everything was a setup.

"Unless Naruto does what he says." Raven said feeling relieved knowing that her friend was innocent and was forced to do all of this before suddenly sensing something as she turned towards the window and looked out. "I think I sense Naruto, I know where they are!" she announced getting her teammates' attention.

/ / /

Panting slightly in exhaustion, Slade glared at Naruto from across the room as his armor was covered in deep scratch marks and his mask was cracked once again. "When this power of yours runs out, I'll break you and force you to watch as I kill each of the Titans, starting with Raven." He said manically even as beaten up as he was, the masked Mercenary could see the whiskered Blond was also getting tired.

"AAAAAWWWRRRR! ! !" that remark further enraged the Uzumaki as he let out a roared and splinted towards the Man aiming a swipe towards his midsection.

Slade stepped back and avoided the attack, but the force of it was still enough to make him skid back a few feet, but his forced apprentice didn't stop as he used the momentum from his splint to spin around and aim a roundhouse kick towards his gut as the Mercenary only just barely managing to block it before grunting in pain when he felt the bones in his arms ache from the impact before ceasing the opportunity as he pulled out a knife and slashed the Shinobi from his shoulder down to his waist.

"AAAAAGGG! !"Naruto shouted and jumped back as he held his wound as he could see his blood seeping from between his fingers and the masked Man could also see that the wound was already closing.

"Interesting…" Slade said intrigued witnessing the Uzumaki's healing abilities. "I underestimated you, as that was my mistake. But attacking me, that was yours." he commented as he showed him the button to activate the probes.

But before he could press the button, his hand was encased in black energy making him glance behind the Shinobi where he saw the Titans had arrived and were glaring at him from behind his apprentice.

"You're finished, Slade," Robin said with a glare as he readied his Staff.

"A pleasure to see you again, Robin, unfortunately that won't be happening today, another time perhaps." The Mercenary said sounding surprisingly calm despite his situation before pulling out a disc and threw it at the group as it exploded and created a smoke screen.

The sudden diversion caused Raven to lose her concentration and released Slade's hand as he pressed the button activating the probes within the Titans' bodies.

"""""AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! ! ! ! !"""""

Hearing a noise, Naruto looked and saw a machine activating at the same time just as everyone began to scream in agony as the probes electrocuted them from the inside as they all collapsed as recoiled in immense pain.

"AAAAAAWWWRRR! !" Seeing this, Naruto roared again as his anger grew as he suddenly appeared in front of Slade and grabbed the man by his throat, lifting him up with one hand before slamming him down with enough force causing the ground to crack under the pressure as he then grabbed his arm and threw him to the side into the machine controlling the probes.

"AAAAAAGGG! !" Slade shouted out as the machine infected him with probes, which immediately began to destroy him from the inside as he couldn't even move to destroy the remote to save himself from his own probes.

The Uzumaki then stood in front of him and readied a Rasengan which was glowing red just like his eyes. "NOW DIE! !"he shouted, slamming the Rasengan into the Mercenary as the machine behind him exploded causing a chain reaction as other machines began to self-destruct as the sudden reaction had thrown them back, but he landed and saw that the probes have stopped working as those that were infested began turning back to normal as he immediately ran to Raven. "We need to get out of here!" he shouted as the lair began to collapse from the chain reaction caused by the explosion.

"Azeroth Metrion Zinthos!" the Sorceress chanted as a large bird made of her magic appeared from the floor and protected them just as another piece of machinery exploded next to them as the bird enveloped them all and sunk into the ground as another explosion destroyed everything.

/ / /

"And that should be the last of those probes." Cyborg said as Beast Boy unhooked himself from a machine and began to dance like there was a party.

Naruto meanwhile sat on the couch next to Raven, Robin, and Starfire. "I'm glad that's over with~" he sighed in relief as he stretched with the others agreeing.

"Is Slade really gone?" the Princess asked, her voice sounding a little scared that they may've destroyed their most dangerous foe along with his lair.

Robin just shrugged. "I'm not sure, once that place is secure, we'll check it out." he suggested, wanting to know himself as he then glanced towards the Blond and reminded himself that he needed to talk to him about everything that happened as he would do it now, but everyone was relaxing and celebrating knowing they had just beaten their greatest Villain yet.

Meanwhile, the Changeling and Cybernetic Titans felt that the celebration needed something.

"Now's the perfect time for an All-You-Can-Eat-" Cyborg began…

"Free-Form-" Beast Boy continued, knowing exactly what Cyborg was talking about…

""Breakfast-Explosion!"" they both shouted with grins as they ran to the kitchen.

The Uzumaki then leans over towards the Bluette. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked as she looked confused but nodded, nonetheless.

Standing up, she led him out of the coms room and towards her room as he was surprised when she actually invited him in as he gave her a questioning look to see if he really was allowed.

"Do you want to talk in private?" Raven asked as her friend nodded. "Then this is the most private place in this whole tower." She stated motioning for him to enter which he did before closing her door.

Stepping inside, Naruto glanced around the Demoness' room and chuckled a little as he saw piles of books and candles' sitting on top of them as her entire room was dark in both lighting and decoration. "You really are a Goth, aren't you?" he asked causing her to leer towards him with her arms crossed.

Going over to her bed, she sat on the edge with the Author joining her. "What is it you wanted to talk about?" she asked wondering what her friend wanted to talk to her about after everything that had happened.

"After everything that happened today, it made me realize something." Naruto began, surprising her at how serious he was. "I didn't want to tell you my past because I just wanted to forget about it and live my new life here. But with what happened, I realized I was just running away from my problems." He said reminding her of their conversation the other day.

"What do you mean?" she asked as he turned slightly to look her directly in her eyes.

"I'm going to tell you everything." He said getting her to softly gasp as he began to tell her about his past.

And there we have it folks, the Two-part Apprentice special is completed, and I'll see you all next time so have yourselves a safe Halloween.
