Chapter 6

Naruto walked out of the room and was greeted by Yoo Sook Yeong. They had known each other for 3 years now since she started working in the Digimon Association of Japan and she got assigned with him.

Just like other employees she also took care of many tamers, so Naruto wasn't the only one but she treated him as a friend.

He was younger than her by 8 years but she couldn't treat him as a teenager because of his personality and presence.

Yeong was a beautiful woman with long brown hair, brown eyes and an attractive form that was very athletic. She wore a red and brown official dress.

Her personality was very kind and supportive. She was humble and came from a normal background. She was liked and many people pursued her for different reason, mainly her looks.

It was nice having someone like Naruto and he had helped her out when she had been new, the first friend in this new region.

"You have improved again." Yeong said with a happy smile as she was excited for him.

"I got excited about the journey and pushed harder. How was the result?" Naruto smiled as he walked over to the seat and sat down while taking the juice offered to him.

He hadn't lost much energy but it would be rude to decline.

"You got upgraded to C-rank!" Yeong exclaimed with a joy as she hugged him. Naruto didn't really care about such childish matters but he got infected by Yeong's excitement.

He felt a grin on his face and enjoyed the hug.

He was at the final step now and with better ranking he had more freedom.

'Maybe I will check back home once I get a powerful digimon with dimensional travel or I could ask one of them.' Naruto thought as his mind wandered there. He was chill but sometimes he felt the desire to see what happened to his world after he died.

Yeong snapped out of her trance and found herself in his arms. Naruto was lost in thought and she felt very comfortable.

'No, I shouldn't do this.' Yeong felt the desire to just stay there but felt that was unprofessional.

"Um, Naruto." Yeong called out as she was unable to move. She was a tamer as well but her strength wasn't that high for her to compete with Naruto without her digimon.

Her partner was a strong champion and she would need to summon him, activate their bond to break out of Naruto's grasp.

Hearing her voice, Naruto snapped out of his thoughts.

"Sorry, got lost in thought for a moment." Naruto let go and apologized.

"I can understand." Yeong muttered as she corrected herself and stood before him.

"Now what, will Mr. Mitsuo talk with me or something?" Naruto asked as he was unsure of what the next step could be for his situation.

Yeong looked at his calm demeanor and felt relaxed by it. He was always so relaxed, not matter the situation that other people also followed up.

She had just been with the leaders and the decision was postponed until the final step.

Naruto was already on the list as a valued asset for the Association and they wouldn't allow harm to him. USA and other nations had powerful New Types but finally Japan broke their records with Naruto.

The human rivalry aside, peace was just an illusion and they always needed powerful tamers to keep things in place.

The world was in the hands of the Ancients, just them alone while forces of evil were aplenty. It would be disastrous if any of the ten warriors died, so humanity had been working hard to produce support for the warriors.

The New Type had the most potential on their own but Tamer wise everyone had the chance.

"He will talk to you after the final step. Are you ready?" Yeong answered and even she felt the anticipation. She wanted to know what the system brought out for her friend.

What was the potential of his partner?

"I see, let's go." Naruto understood without explanation and stood up. He also wanted to know how this was going to end.

Just like always, she felt like the younger one in the situation.

"Follow me" Yeong gave a nod and started walking.

She led him through turns and passed through many secure areas before arriving at their destination.

"You will need to go alone." Yeong said as she stood to the side.

Naruto gave a nod and walked inside.

It was a room filled with machinery and blue lines of pulsating light.

Naruto could tell it was a dangerous place, he could feel it. Any stupid action would lead to his death by something.

There was no talking to be done as the system analyzed his body. Lights shone over him, moving up and down. Scanning his whole structure and going through all reports before the process moved towards the end.

Naruto witnessed his digimon coming to life using data from the digital world collected by the association.

Usually digimon would start at a very low level where it would be very squishy. The system allowed tamers to skip that stage and gave them rookie level digimon.

The association wanted warriors so it wasn't going to deliberately waste time of their tamers. Tamers could find baby digimon in the wild.

The rookie digimon by the system wasn't very knowledgeable unlike the wild one as it had been given only certain information by the system.

Tamers would have to teach them as the digimon would only know the language and have the maturity level of a teenager. It would only know how to use its attack in a simple manner, to allow the Tamer to teach it better methods and build a bond.

Lights continued to shine in front of him, moving about as a shape took form and finally Naruto saw his partner.

It dropped to the floor and looked at him.

Candlemon

It was a digimon that looked like a candle. It was 1 meter tall. Its lower body was on a golden container. It had two red eyes and large mouth along with two arms made of wax.

Flames were burning on the head, flames that were alive and with eyes along with a mouth.

The flame was the real body while the candle form was a decoy.

Naruto didn't say anything and looked at the screen at the front where it showed the potential of his digimon.

The system had gone through countless upgrades and was equipped with the best tech in the world. It had never been wrong.

Gankoomon

Gankoomon was a muscular, humanoid Digimon who embodied masculinity, particularly the harsh discipline of a father. It wore a jacket over its shoulders like a banchō, reflecting its more down-to-earth design and demeanor as opposed to the more knight-like and distant members of Royal Knights. Hinukamuy rose from its body and hovered above it, akin to a battle aura.

Naruto nodded at the sight, he hadn't expected anything less from his partner. He was too powerful to have a weak partner. It would have been illogical since the system utilized his powers and data to form this digimon.

It reminded him of his original form with Kurama by his side.

---------------

Gankoomon was a Holy Knight Digimon. It acceded to the "Royal Knights" because of its persistence. Although it is said to have taken up residence in the southwest edges of the Digital World, it rarely stayed in the same place, so it journeys across the Digital World while going around and putting a stop to unusual phenomena and signs of chaos, which it learns from Sistermon Ciel's reports, taking along the next-generation Hackmon as its companion.

Gankoomon had encountered Hackmon and seen in it the makings of the thirteenth Royal Knight, deciding to temper the Rookie Digimon with frequent, rigorous trials. Unlike the other Royal Knights who rarely show their faces, it actually steps down and acts, it is admired by many Digimon and there are many Digimon it counts as bosom friends.

For example, a long time ago, it saved the Sistermon sisters just as they were going to collapse from exhaustion from being out on the streets. In order to pass on its title as a Royal Knight to Hackmon, it assigns it rigorous trials, and entrusts Hackmon's training to the Sistermon sisters who are accompanying it on the journey; in order to repay Gankoomon for saving them, Sistermon Blanc puts all of its effort into being a chaperone for Hackmon. Due to its stubborn personality, its frequently stern visage and dealing with Hackmon in a severe manner was a cruel sort of kindness of wanting it to keep up with the other Royal Knights and become independent.

------------------

Gankoomon was very well-known digimon and one of the kindest especially since it was a Royal Knight. Most of the Royal Knights were arrogant psychopaths that would cut down all their brethren if Drasil commanded them.

Regardless, Naruto would need to get Gankoomon's acknowledgement for the evolution to take place. He wasn't the first person to get a royal knight digimon in the making but most of them never even passed the final stage.

The Digimon Task Force Commander was one of the rare tamers to get a pass and his partner was a royal knight, though weaker than the original.

"Master, what is my name?" Candlemon asked him as he looked at the image of Gankoomon and remembered it.

He knew that was what he could become and how big of a figure that Gankoomon was. There was no personality yet since it was born, so he didn't show any strong reaction.

He knew Naruto's name so there was no need to ask. He was born with basic information installed.

Naruto's eyes landed on his partner and he walked up to him.

"I will name you Asura. Do you like it?" Naruto asked as he felt the bond between them, it was weak now but it will go grow with time.

"Thank you for the name, Master." Asura had no opinion about the name and just thanked him. The system had taken Naruto's current personality in mind or Asura could have been more childish instead of this calm creature.

Naruto didn't mind as he was looking forward to taking care of another child. He actually liked training people.

Patting his head, Naruto didn't feel the flames as Asura could control them.

With that over, Naruto walked forward according to the instructions and picked up his Digi-vice.

The digivice was an important item that couldn't be ignored. It was needed by all tamers or they couldn't do anything.

It could scan and analyze all digital beings. It allowed the user to transmit data to their Digimon, from various medicinal herbs and food to even nonverbal commands.

It allowed the user to monitor the emotional state of the partners. It helped in forming a bond with digimon.

It helped in healing digimon. It helped in storing digimon and data. It had a sonar system to identify evil and good digimon.

It could help in finding gates to the digital world and the human world.

It was the central pillar of the bond of the partners and even allowed users to channel their emotional energy to cause a temporary evolution.

It provided a link between partners and gave the tamer protection. With this device, the Tamer got upgrades to his body safely through the bond and was protected by a barrier during combat.

It could produce a destructive light to push away enemies and restrain them.

It could create weapons to fight digimon and tame them.

It allowed the usage of digital cards to modify the partner digimon. Cards were made by researchers and it gave humans the advantage in this cruel world.

With the cards even rookie digimon could fight against champion digimon.

Finally, it allowed the usage of DNA Digivolution. This is the process of two or more digimon mixing together to form a new and powerful digimon.

The leaders of the Ancients combined several digimon to form their Super Ultimate Digimon that treated even Mega level digimon as fodder.

It was a treasure beyond any doubt and it had been granted by the Digital Sovereigns and the Celestial Digimon, two factions that found value in the human side and supported them.

"Let's go and meet your new friends." Naruto took the golden and black digivice that was shaped like a phone with an opening on the side to slide the cards.

It was similar to an IPhone and on the back, it had the Uzumaki spiral.
