(JC: Author's Notes)
******************************
Let's get started
*********************************
The Demons fell completely silent at Naruto's words; some even shuddered at the cold final words.
Naruto just continued staring at the screen, not looking away for even a second. Then suddenly, the ANBU Inu appeared beside him and knelt before him.
-"Everything is ready, Yōsokage-sama; whenever you command."-
Naruto closed his eyes and sighed slowly. Then he opened them, showing great seriousness.
-"Do it..."-
-"As you command, Yōsokage-sama."-
Inu bowed his head, then disappeared.
Without further ado, Naruto returned his attention to the screen.
The others did the same; with a feeling that something was about to happen.
.....
...
....
....
-"What is this...?"-
Shalba muttered as he looked around at his surroundings. A quick way to find out would be an endless desert. There was only sand and more sand in the surroundings.
It wasn't less than a minute ago that Shalba and a third of the expedition team appeared in this desert; without knowing how or why.
-"Have you spotted anything yet?"-
Shalba asked a nearby Demon.
-"No, sir,"- the Demon reported. -"From our vantage point, there's only pure desert."-
-"Then search deeper!"- Shalba ordered impatiently. -"Fly up and look higher!"-
-"Y-Yes, sir!"-
The Demon shouted nervously. Then he, along with several Demons and a few Fallen Angels, spread their wings and prepared to fly.
-"[Sabaku Kyū]"-
Suddenly, they were surrounded and trapped within a large amount of sand; without even being given the chance to take off.
-"""What!?"""-
Several of them shouted. Meanwhile, Shalba looked on in surprise.
They desperately tried to break free, but they were completely trapped, unable to move. Because of all that, none of them noticed the three people standing calmly in front of them.
-"We can't let them go..."- one of them said. -"[Sabaku Sōsō]"-
Afterwards, those trapped in the sand were crushed under great pressure, killing them instantly. The pressure was so strong that it destroyed their bodies, turning them into pure blood.
Shalba stared in shock as blood splattered on his face, as he was standing near one of the victims.
-"You'd better not try to escape; otherwise, it will be worse..."-
They were stoically warned by another member of the group of three men. That comment finally made the invaders notice the three men.
One had auburn hair, with a very stern look on his face. He wore a simple black suit with a high collar. He also had a small bag strapped to his hips and chain mail armor underneath his clothes. The other was a tall man with white skin. He had short, dark blue hair, but with two long sideburns and yellow eyes. He simply had an emotionless face. The last one appeared to be the oldest of the three; he was a man with sandy-blond hair and brown eyes. He wore a white keikogi covered by a black cloak. It was noted that on his palms, he had the kanji for Ukeru on his left palm and Kokoro on his right palm.
(JC: This last one is my description of Bunpuku as a young man, who was Shukaku's first jinchūriki.)
These people were unknown to the supernatural invaders, but to the Shinobi Faction, they were well known due to their backgrounds from their former life.
They were Yondaime Kazekage Rasa, Sandaime Kazekage Minoru, and Bunpuku, the first jinchūriki of the Ichibi.
Suddenly, Shalba's astonishment turned to anger as he realized they had something to do with the sudden and bloody deaths of his subordinates.
-"Damn humans..."- Shalba glared at them furiously. -"Who are you?!"-
-"We are the guardians of the Desert Dimension,"-
Rasa replied seriously.
Minoru stared at him expressionlessly. -"So if you want to continue, you have to go through us."-
Hearing that word, a vile smile appeared on Shalba's face.
-"Just the three of you, filthy humans?"- Shalba mocked, then laughed with his subordinates. -"This will be easy!"-
The three ninjas were unfazed by the mockery; they stood there calmly by themselves.
-"The truth,"- Bunpuku spoke. -"You're mistaken about something."-
The invaders continued laughing; they didn't stop until they noticed a gigantic shadow form behind them, which quickly covered them.
-"And there are four of us..."-
A vile and malicious voice commented from behind the invaders, sending a shiver down most of their spines. Then they slowly turned around, and there they saw it...
It was a tanuki, the color of dark sand, with blue lines all over its body, its face, and its single tail, which is gigantic and seemingly made up of several smaller tails. It has an irregularly concave mouth. The sclera of its eyes are black with a yellow iris and a shuriken-shaped pupil with a dot in each corner.
That creature... No; that Demon gave each of them a bloodthirsty smile.
Before them was Suna no Keshin itself; a being whose mere presence created chaos and death in its wake. A bloodthirsty Demon with an insatiable hunger for a fight. Right there was a legendary Bijū; the great Shukaku, the Ichibi.
-"Wh-What a monstrosity!"-
Shouted a Fallen Angel, seeing a beast without equal.
-"Oh, thanks for the compliment,"-
Shukaku commented with a smile that made their blood run cold.
Shalba took a step back from the beast before him. In all his years, he had never seen a being like him; and he would never have believed one existed.
-"Now they'll think we're just simple humans,"-
Rasa began, drawing Shalba's attention. Shalba noticed dark rings appearing around each of Rasa's eyes and a sort of golden dust surrounding him.
-"But the truth is, we're more than that..."-
Minoru continued as a grayish sand surrounded him.
-"We're ninjas,"-
Bunpuku finished as the sand on the ground rose before him.
And so the battle in the Desert Dimension began...
.....
...
....
....
-"This damn fog doesn't let you see anything!"-
Creuserey complained; Angered by the thick fog surrounding them, along with the dense forest.
It was only a minute ago that he and a third of the expedition group appeared here and tried to find a way out, but the fog wouldn't let them and only caused them to wander in circles.
-"I've had enough..."- Creuserey muttered angrily, then looked at his subordinates. -"Use magic to disperse the fog!"-
Then in an instant, the mages created [Wind Magic] magic circles, from which they expelled a gust of air strong enough to disperse the fog and move the leaves of the trees.
But it was all in vain, as the fog reappeared in an instant.
-"Damn it!"-
Creuserey shouted angrily, accidentally releasing some of his Demonic power, frightening his subordinates. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself, then pointed at another Demon in the group.
-"You, fly and find a way out of this cursed forest!"-
-"Y-Yes, sir!"-
The skittish Demon accepted it, then spread his wings. But he couldn't even take off when a long sword shaped like a large needle, with a long, thin cable resembling a thread attached to it, pierced him completely through the abdomen.
-"What the...?"-
Creuserey muttered in shock, along with the others who witnessed the scene.
The Demon, who had a thin line of blood coming from his mouth, slowly looked down, horrified by his situation. Then suddenly, the cable attached to the sword tightened, then dragged the sword, along with the screaming Demon, into the thick fog.
All the while, they heard in horror the Demon's piercing screams, accompanied by the sounds of flesh being cut and blood splattering. Those sounds made some people's stomachs turn, and surely any faint-hearted person would have fainted.
-"Oh, you shouldn't have tried to escape..."-
Suddenly, all the invaders heard a cold and malicious voice around them.
-"Who are you?!"-
Creuserey demanded as he looked around.
-"Who am I?"- The voice asked mockingly. -"The real question here is: Who are you, little bat?"-
Those words alone caused a great rage to invade Creuserey, whose head was bulging with anger.
-"Damn... I am Creuserey Asmodeus, direct descendant of the original Maou Asmodeus!"-
-"Oh? A Demon, you say...?"-
Suddenly, different attacks began to appear from the mist. A gigantic axe had cut a Fallen Angel in half...
-"Well, I'm a little disappointed..."-
Then, two gigantic lightning bolts struck two Yokai, killing them instantly...
Creuserey looked surprised, unsure of what to do or where the attacks were coming from.
-"I thought Demons were terrifying beings, capable of instilling fear in anyone with their mere presence..."-
Then a gigantic explosion engulfed a Demon, killing it instantly and injuring those around it.
-"But what I see... It's just a scared little bat..."-
Creuserey began to sweat with every word, then witnessed an Angel fall to his death, completely decapitated.
-"Well, since you introduced yourself, it would be rude not to..."-
Then Creuserey froze in place. Sweat dripped from his head and his legs trembled from the presence he felt behind him. A strong, terrifying, and bloodthirsty presence. He could feel the owner of that presence looking down on him, as if he were a nuisance; an insignificant insect that stood in his way.
-"We are the Guardians of the Mist Dimension... the Kirigakure no Kijin,"-
The voice concluded, before letting out a terrifying laugh. The owner was the person behind Creuserey.
Creuserey, with all the courage he could muster, turned around with horror in his eyes, only to see...
Ah, no one; there was absolutely no one behind him. Then, in less than a second, a huge knife was thrown toward him. Creuserey was able to duck and avoid it, but unfortunately, a Youkai and a Demon weren't so lucky, losing their heads. The knife continued on its journey, disappearing into the dense fog.
And then the battle in the Fog Dimension had begun...
.....
...
....
....
-"I see,"- Ladón spoke with a smile as he looked around. -"This is a Pocket Dimension."-
Ladón and a third of the expedition group had appeared in a beautiful, gigantic meadow.
It wasn't difficult for Ladón to figure out where they were. One of the great parts of a Pocket Dimension is the barriers that surround them, and that was his specialty.
-"You're really clever, Sun of the Underworld. Is this where you've been hiding all this time? Or... Is this a trap?"-
Ladón wondered, leaning more toward the latter question; after all, not all the members of the expedition group were here. What he didn't know was that his answer would be answered in a matter of seconds...
The ground began to tremble slowly, as if a small earthquake had just occurred. Then the ones causing the tremors approached the invaders.
When everyone looked in that direction, they saw a large group of colossal lions with silver claws and skin as gleaming as gold. When they opened their mouths, their fangs shone like stainless steel. At the front, leading the group, was a completely different lion. It was a giant lion with a jewel on its forehead. It had a large body, measuring between four and five meters tall, that seemed to be made of the brightest gold. Along with them, following in their wake, was a group of ninjas, whose main characteristics were their muscular bodies and tanned skin. Leading this group was a tall man with a muscular build, resembling a bodybuilder; a slightly bulbous nose, long blond hair, a goatee, and dark eyes. He had the kanji for Kaminari tattooed on his right shoulder and a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his right chest. He also wore the official Kumogakure uniform; however, he only had a vest, as he had no shirt underneath it. He also wore a rope like a belt. His canines were much sharper and more pointed, and his upper lip had some kind of pigment, making it darker than his lower lip.
There, before Ladón's confused and somewhat surprised gaze, were two large groups known from Yōsogakure No Sato.
The Nemean Lions, led by Regulus, the spirit residing in the Sacred Gear Longinus: Regulus Nemea, also known as the Lion King's Battle Axe. Accompanying them were the strongest members of the Yotsuki Clan, a clan in Kumogakure, led by A, the Sandaime Raikage.
Ladón smiled as he recognized one Lion in particular.
-"Well, well. It's been a while, brother,"- Ladón said, smiling at his brother Regulus. -"We finally meet again."-
-"Yes. Unfortunately, I had to see you again, Ladón."-
As many knew, mainly thanks to Greek mythology, Ladón and Regulus were brothers; sons of the Nymph Echidna and Typhon, the King of Monsters. Like all brothers, they had their differences and confrontations. In short...
They hated each other.
-"Apparently you were able to escape your seal..."-
-"Unlike you,"- Ladón mocked. -"I have to admit it feels gratifying to see you still sealed in one of the Biblical God's toys."-
Regulus only grunted at that.
-"But I also admit I'm surprised to see you, along with so many of your descendants..."- Ladón commented, analyzing the two groups. -"And even more so when you're accompanied by humans."-
Although they were two very unique groups, Ladón was only interested in one goal, and it wasn't his brother.
But the Sun of the Underworld...
Ladón then watched as A took the lead of the two groups, with Regulus at his side.
-"We are the guardians of the Meadow Dimension!"-
A began, shouting at the top of his lungs.
-"And if you want to continue, you have to go through us first!"-
Regulus finished with a roar.
As he finished, the Ninjas and lions shouted or roared, supporting their two leaders.
-"Oh?"- Ladón looked at them in amusement. -"A few lowly humans and a few kittens are the guardians of this place?"-
Ladón didn't care if it was his brother, along with an army of Nemean Lions, or a larger army of humans than his own. He could easily enclose them all in a barrier and leave them there the whole time.
It wouldn't be the first time he'd done it with one of his brothers...
To say Ladón was proud of his barriers would be putting it mildly. He himself believed his barriers would be capable of trapping the strongest beings. The only ones perhaps capable of destroying his powerful barriers would be the highest ranked in the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World.
Simply put, Ladón was undeterred.
-"Listen... I don't care who you are; what I care about is where the Sun of the Underworld is..."- Ladón gave them a menacing smile. -"And if you tell me, I promise I won't kill you."-
Unfortunately for him, that didn't work. The guardians still stood there silently, with determination on their faces.
-"Aren't you going to talk?"-
Ladón asked them with a smile, as a brown dragon-like aura covered his body. Then his body was enveloped in a great glow, revealing not a human as before, but a large, tree-like dragon with intense red eyes.
-"Then I'll force you!"-
Ladón roared, now in his Dragon form.
A didn't even feel intimidated by standing in front of one of the Evil Dragons. He himself had faced monsters larger and more powerful than this Dragon.
Then A glanced at Regulus beside him. -"Let's do it, Regulus."-
Regulus nodded. -"Yes."-
A then signaled with his hand to the army behind him. Then the Nemean Lions moved, so that each Ninja had a Lion at their side.
Without further ado, A raised his right hand and the Ninjas followed seconds later, but in each of the Ninjas' hands were golden spheres. Then, in just an instant, Regulus and the Nemean Lions became a golden energy, which moved and entered their fellow Ninjas; Regulus in A's body and the others in the golden spheres.
The spheres then deformed to resemble different weapons for each Ninja; such as axes, knives, gauntlets, etc. Meanwhile, in A's right hand, a predominantly golden battle axe appeared, which had a single-edged silver axe blade. The center of the axe was engraved with a design of Regulus Nemea in his lion form. On the other side of the axe, there were three curved silver protrusions located at the bottom, middle, and top of that side of the axe. At the top was a golden diamond with a silver diamond in the middle, and below the bottom center of the axe, there were two diamond-shaped protrusions; but with elongated edges.
Then, in just an instant, each ninja had been wrapped in lightning armor; this being the [Raiton Chakura Mōdo]. The most prominent was obviously A, whose lightning armor was so strong and large that it resembled a gigantic blue glow, while his long blond hair stood on end and his eyes resembled two small blue lightning bolts.
-"Huh?"-
Ladón watched everything with confusion and secret surprise.
The next step for the Ninjas, minus A, was to shock the invaders and the Demon Faction spectators, who had witnessed everything from the stadium.
-"[Balance Breaker]!"-
A gigantic golden glow covered all the Ninjas, causing shockwaves and blinding the invaders for several seconds. When the glow disappeared, the Ninjas were revealed, covered in sturdy golden lion-themed armor, along with the lightning armor that had never left them.
Ladón stared at all of this in shock, while the other invaders began to scream in panic.
-"Wh-What is this?!"-
-"Impossible!"-
-"None of this can be true!"-
-"No, no, no, no! This is impossible! There are no other Sacred Gears that have Nemean Lions in them!"-
That last thing had been shouted by one of the few Angels in the group of invaders. Although he was one of the many Angels who formerly resided on the First Floor of Heaven, he, like many Angels, had knowledge of the different Sacred Gears that existed, and he was certain that the Sacred Gears used by Ninjas didn't exist, much less that ridiculous amount.
A smiled at the invaders' reactions. What they had just witnessed were many of the artifacts created in Yōsogakure No Sato.
-"I hope you're prepared!"- A shouted at them, then raised his battle axe. -"Because they're going to face the Golden Lightning Legion!"-
Then A began to chant, while a golden aura surrounded him.
-"My Lion! King of Nemea-!"-
-"You, who have been called King of Lions-!"-
-"Answer my howl and become my armor-!"-
-"[Balance Breaker]!"-
At the simultaneous shout of A and Regulus, the aura turned into a gigantic golden pillar, which pierced and split the clouds in the sky, and was accompanied by a powerful earthquake that threatened to destroy everything.
-"Regulus King Leather Rex!"-
A's shout was heard, then the golden pillar disappeared and revealed him wearing sturdy golden lion-themed armor, his blond hair replaced by a gigantic golden mane, as if it were a mane; That bristled and stood up due to the lightning armor still covering him.
Witnessing this, for a second, concern appeared in Ladon's eyes, seeing the surge of power; certainly equal to or more powerful than a Maou, but confidence returned to him. Perhaps not the strongest Evil Dragon, but one of the most resilient. He relied on his natural resilience, and even more so with his barriers included.
Too bad he didn't know what he was up against...
Ah, with surprising speed and strength, A kicked the ground, destroying it in the process, then instantly appeared in front of Ladón, his right fist extended to strike him.
Ladón was alarmed. -"What!?"-
Then the blow quickly landed on one of Ladón's cheeks. The impact created a powerful wave of wind, which almost seemed to push those in the surroundings away. In less than a second, Ladón was sent flying sideways, spinning in midair, blood and teeth spraying from his mouth. He then stopped when his body hit, and he dragged himself across the ground, creating a trail of devastation on the earth.
-"Gah! Th-That hurt!"- Ladón screamed, writhing in pain and clutching his stricken cheek. -"What kind of blow was that?!"-
A calmly landed in the middle of the invaders, who stared at the stricken Evil Dragon in shock. When they finally came out of their shock, they tried to attack A, but the other members of the Golden Lightning Legion suddenly appeared and stood in their way.
-"We are your opponents!"-
The Ninjas declared to the invaders.
While the other Ninjas dealt with the invaders, A walked toward Ladón, who was slowly getting up from the ground.
Seeing A standing in front of him, Ladón quickly placed barriers around him, prepared for the coming fight.
And so the battle in the Meadow Dimension had begun...
.....
...
....
....
Naruto smiled as he saw that everything was going well in the different dimensions. These Pocket Dimensions were one of Yōso's many defenses; different dimensions designed to trap invaders.
The activated Dimensions were: the Desert Dimension, protected by Bunpuku and the former Kazekages; the Mist Dimension, protected by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist; and the Grassland Dimension, protected by the Golden Lightning Legion.
Naruto was also pleased by the first appearance of the Golden Lightning Legion.
The Golden Lightning Legion is one of the many special groups in Yōso; comprised of the Yotsuki Clan and the Nemean Lions, also led by A and Regulus. Before the establishment of this legion, the Yotsuki Clan members had to undergo intensive training, supervised by A, to improve their strength and become capable of using the [Raiton Chakura Mōdo]. They were also one of the few ninjas to receive the mass-produced Artificial Sacred Gears in Yōso; the Lion Armor, also known as the Golden Armor of the Nemean Lion, was a Sacred Gear powered by the power of the Nemean Lions.
A very strong Legion, indeed, even more so when they were led by A and Regulus; the latter chose A as the host of the Nemean Regulus.
While Naruto had his own thoughts about the situation, the invited Demons and Gods, who also witnessed everything, had their own thoughts.
-"Wh-What a monstrosity!"-
-"Is he manipulating sand?"-
-"He killed him without a problem..."-
-"What kind of weapons are those?"-
-"That's the Sacred Gear Longinus: Regulus Nemea!"-
-"Are those new Sacred Gears?"-
-"He just entered Balance Breaker!"-
The Demons were clearly shocked by the events on the screen. They had never seen beings with those kinds of abilities, with those talents for stealth and assassination, let alone a Longinus user or others with Sacred Gears never seen before.
-"Naruto, those Sacred Gears..."- Ajuka spoke in surprise. -"I've never seen one like them."-
-"It's not surprising..."- Naruto told him. -"After all, we created those Sacred Gears."-
All the Demons were shocked to hear that.
Ajuka widened his eyes in surprise. -"What?"-
-"You created Artificial Sacred Gears?"-
Sirzechs asked, equally surprised.
-"Yes. We've created a few,"- Naruto replied, not giving much away. -"And that's all I'll say."-
It's not that he didn't trust his Maou friends, but he clearly didn't trust most of the Devils, and Naruto didn't want to divulge all the information.
Some Devils, including Zekram, frowned upon hearing Naruto's short explanation. They were clearly interested in the creation of Sacred Gears.
Naruto then returned his attention to the screen. And without further ado, the invited Devils and Gods did the same.
.....
...
....
....
-"Damn,"-
Shalba muttered sulkily. From the moment they arrived in this desert, everything went from bad to worse.
Many of his subordinates had already died, either crushed by gold dust or pierced by iron sand spears; and those who miraculously managed to survive or dodge those attacks were quickly crushed by the desert sand. He also had to send his strongest men against the sand monster, and it seemed they weren't going to win anytime soon.
-"As always, I have to take care of this alone,"-
Shalba said, then created a Magic Circle to his right. He then raised his right arm and crossed the Circle, then pulled it out to reveal a device on his wrist. That device is a Light Manipulation Device; a device that allows him to control light, similar to the abilities of an Angel or a Fallen Angel.
Shalba then decided to attack those he thought would be easiest to kill, and that was the humans. He slowly raised his right hand, aiming at the humans, who were focused on attacking the other invaders. Countless Magic Circles then formed around him and fired a burst of Elemental Magic. Attacks of water, fire, lightning, wind, ice, darkness, and light were launched; the latter thanks to the device he possessed.
Before the attack could reach the Ninjas, a wall of sand, iron sand, and gold dust rose up and intercepted the elemental attack. The wall was strong and resilient enough to withstand the magical attack.
-"Nice try,"-
Minoru told him, on his side of the wall.
Then the wall deformed and took the form of thousands of spears of the three elements. And without a word, the Ninjas sent the attack towards their enemies.
Shalba quickly created layers and layers of Defensive Magic Circles and was able to escape the attack unscathed. The other invaders weren't so lucky; they ended up impaled by the variety of spears. In just a matter of seconds, Shalba was the only one left to face the Ninjas.
-"Tch, useless bastards,"-
Shalba said in annoyance at seeing his subordinates dead.
-"Surrender, Demon,"- Rasa told him. -"You're finished,"-
Shalba smiled arrogantly upon hearing that.
-"Shall I surrender to you, lowly humans? Don't make me laugh!"- Shalba shouted, then extended his right hand and created a Magic Circle. -"I, Shalba Beelzebub, descendant of the original Maou Beelzebub, will not surrender to you!"-
Thousands and thousands of bees poured out of the Magic Circle and began to surround Shalba, as if controlled by him.
What Shalba was using was the [King of Flies] skill; it is a skill primarily used by members of the Beelzebub Clan. [King of Flies] is a Demonic Power that allows the user to create an army of flies, or any insect belonging to the fly family, which the user can control and direct at will.
-"This ends now!"-
Then the bees stood in front of Shalba at his command and then began to create Magic Circles that shot out enormous masses of Demonic Power.
The Ninjas quickly created their own protective domes of their respective elements. When the attacks hit, a huge explosion filled the area, sending large amounts of sand flying everywhere and dust covering everything around them.
Shalba smiled triumphantly as he believed he had eliminated the Ninjas, but that smile quickly turned into an ugly frown when he saw the domes completely intact, floating meters off the ground.
Then the domes slowly dispersed, revealing the Ninjas standing and floating in suspension in their respective elements.
-"Nice try,"-
Rasa told him seriously.
-"That was a powerful attack,"-
Bunpuku admitted calmly.
-"But it won't be enough,"-
Minoru told him seriously. He then raised his arms, causing massive amounts of iron sand to rise into the sky.
Shalba looked up to see the iron sand beginning to form something above him. In a matter of seconds, two masses of iron and sand with opposite polarities formed above Shalba.
-"[Satetsu Kaihō]"-
Minuru declared, and then the two masses merged together; this caused the magnetic forces to instantly increase, and the repellent force generated by the two opposing magnetic fields spread the iron sand into spikes that branched out irregularly.
Shalba stared in shock at the shower of spikes hurtling toward him, then quickly created layers upon layers of Defensive Magic Circles in an attempt to survive. He also ordered his bees to attack again, but this time at the spikes.
The bees quickly fired a burst of massive Demonic Power. The demonic attacks destroyed several spikes, but the iron sand quickly coalesced to form new spikes.
The bees were quickly eliminated by the spikes, which then collided with Shalba's Defensive Magic Circles. With each pressure and impact, the Defensive Magic Circles were rapidly destroyed, and Shalba had to spread his wings to escape.
Shalba flew, dodging the spikes quickly, but with difficulty, as they spread and branched out irregularly. He had to constantly use Elemental Magic to destroy the spikes that came closest to reaching him. Then he stopped when a spike pierced one of his wings and pushed him to the ground. Shalba grunted in pain as he was forced to crash to the ground. For a second, he tried to move, but quickly, different spikes pierced him in various places, including his legs, arms, and back.
And so, Shalba was completely impaled, but surprisingly, he was still alive.
-"Oh, you're still alive,"- Rasa said as she approached the impaled Shalba with the other ninjas. -"That's surprising."-
-"You'd better give up,"- Minoru told him. -"This is the end."-
-"There's nothing you can do now,"- Bunpuku said. -"Surrender to us and we'll let you live."-
Shalba laughed at the Ninjas' words, even though he was hurt, impaled, and tired.
-"Surrender? Never!"- Shalba yelled at them. -"I, the direct descendant of Maou Beelzebub and legitimate Maou, will never surrender to you filthy humans!"-
-"You really are an idiot..."-
Minoru said, while the other two Ninjas shook their heads at the Demon's stupidity.
-(I have no choice,)- Shalba thought desperately. –(I have to use 'that.')-
Then suddenly, a black snake surrounded his body and bit him. After that, a gigantic explosion of Demonic Power occurred around Shalba, destroying the iron sand spikes around him and forcing the Ninjas to retreat to protect themselves from the sudden surge of power.
-"Yes..."- Shalba smiled widely as he began to float in the air thanks to his wings. -"Yes! This power is incredible!"-
He shouted euphoria as he was enveloped in a dense and powerful Demonic aura. The ninjas noticed that the damage they had caused to him had completely disappeared.
.....
...
....
....
-"He also had the Ophis Snake..."-
Ajuka said in surprise. He knew that Shalba was a powerful Pure-Blooded Demon; one of the strongest Ultimate-Class Demons. Now Ajuka could deduce that with the Ophis Snake, Shalba must be at the level of a Maou, and even more powerful than the original Maou Beelzebub.
-"Naruto, let us help them,"- Sirzechs spoke to him seriously. -"Shalba is too powerful for them to face alone."-
-"Don't look down on my ninjas, Sirzechs..."- Naruto spoke, having complete confidence in his ninjas. -"They are capable of taking care of him."-
Naruto could also understand how Shalba and the other descendants of the Original Maou regained their powers, even after he sealed them at the end of the Devil Civil War. He could deduce that Ophis's Snake was strong enough to break his seal and unleash his demonic powers. Which meant that Rizevim had also unleashed his enormous demonic power, and now he became even more dangerous on the loose.
-(I'll have a very serious talk with Ophis the next time I see her...)-
Naruto thought about this without taking his eyes off the screen.
.....
.....
....
....
-"Hahahahahahahaha! With this power, they won't be able to stop me!"- Shalba shouted madly, then created a Magic Circle from which thousands upon thousands of bees empowered by Ophis's Serpent emerged. -"Now die!"-
The bees quickly created Magic Circles that fired burst after burst of enormous masses of Demonic Power, much more powerful than before.
The Ninjas, unlike before, dodged the attacks by constantly moving; enough to avoid damage from the attacks that kept coming; but that wasn't going to stop the Ninjas. Bunpuku, still dodging the attacks, prepared a jutsu to stop Shalba.
-"[Suna no Kaiwan]!"-
Three giant monster arms quickly formed from the desert sand, which then extended to attack behind and on either side of Shalba. But suddenly, three large and powerful Defensive Magic Circles appeared and stopped the sand arms, defending Shalba from the attacks.
-"Nice try!"-
Shalba mocked, then increased the power of the demonic attacks.
-"Don't celebrate yet..."-
Rasa told him as he began gathering gold dust. He then quickly created a large wave of gold dust, forming it into a giant ball.
-"[Sakin Kaihōdama]!"-
Rasa shouted, then threw the ball towards Shalba.
Shalba quickly intercepted the attack with a Defensive Magic Circle, but it quickly shattered as the ball expanded into large spikes, which also damaged him and eliminated a large number of bees.
-"Gah!"- Shalba screamed in pain and fury. -"Damn you!"-
He then increased the power of his attacks by including two [Elemental Magic] Magic Circles, which fired a sea of super-hot flames.
-"[Suna no Tate]!"-
Bunpuku shouted, then created a giant sand shield, which quickly enveloped him and the other ninjas. The sand shield was durable enough to withstand and protect the ninjas from the various attacks, much to Shalba's anger and astonishment.
-"That damn sand!"-
-"[Kurogane no Kobushi]!"-
Suddenly, a part of the barrier opened up, revealing two hands made of iron sand. The hands quickly tore through the remaining bees and caught an unsuspecting Shalba, giving him no chance to defend himself.
-"What!?"-
Shalba screamed, then tried to break free.
-"There's no escape now,"- Minoru told him as they approached him, along with Rasa and Bunpuku. Minoru then manipulated the iron sand into his hands so that they deformed and began to completely envelop Shalba, performing the terrifying [Satetsu Sōsō] jutsu.
-"Shut up!"-
Shalba roared at him, then unleashed his remaining Demonic Power. He was able to free himself from some of the iron sand, but was helpless when the iron sand coalesced again, this time joining with a large amount of sand and gold dust, crushing him even further. His possible final outcome increased when two monstrous sand hands joined together to crush him.
When Shalba looked back, his face quickly paled at the sight of Shukaku's sadistic grin. Behind the sand monster were many pools of blood, various body parts, and black or white feathers scattered everywhere. Shalba quickly deduced that these were once his strongest subordinates, whom he had sent to fight the sand monster.
-"You can't escape now, little bat!"-
Shukaku said, along with a sadistic laugh, then tightened his grip along with the ninjas.
Shalba felt great terror as he felt his muscles and bones slowly being crushed; that's why he tried to beg for his life.
-"W-Wait, please-!"-
-"Too late..."-
Minoru interrupted him, and then he, Rasa, Bunpuku, and Shukaku spoke simultaneously.
-""""[Sabaku Sōsō]!""""-
And in less than a second, Shalba died, completely crushed; leaving only a pool of blood.
-"Mission completed..."-
Rasa reported using the communicator in his ear.
And so the Guardians of the Desert Dimension won against the terrorist invaders.
.....
...
....
....
-"One down..."- Naruto smiled with satisfaction at the outcome of the battle in the Desert Dimension. -"Two more to go."-
-"What a massacre..."-
Falbium murmured, impressed by what he saw in the Desert Dimension.
Everyone who witnessed the fight in the Desert Dimension was equally shocked, and even disgusted by the bloody scenes; some young people even vomited at the sight.
-(So that's what we'll be facing if we make enemies with the Shinobi Faction...)-
Zekram thought, sweat pouring down his head. Seeing those bloody scenes almost reminded him of his time during the Great War between the Biblical Factions.
Without further ado, the screen showing the Desert Dimension went dark, leaving room for the other two. Everyone focused on the screen showing the Fog Dimension, where the battle seemed to be coming to an end.
.....
...
....
....
-"Damn it!"-
Creuserey shouted in anger as his attacks were once again neutralized by his opponent.
After several minutes of fighting, Creuserey was the only one left alive from that expedition group. Everyone else was killed instantly, through deep cuts, amputations of limbs, and various other stabbing attacks. Those responsible for those deaths didn't even need to come out of their hiding place in the fog to kill them all.
Meanwhile, Creuserey was still facing his opponent. He was indeed angry. His opponent had come out of hiding for the fight, but the Ninja seemed to be just toying with him as he wielded that giant blade of his sword.
-"What's wrong, little bat?"- Zabuza asked with a laugh, which was accompanied by the laughter of those hiding in the Mist. -"Are you tired yet?"-
-"Shut up!"-
Creuserey yelled at him, then created a Magic Circle that quickly shot out a gigantic pillar of super-hot flames.
-"Heh..."-
Zabuza let out a small laugh, then placed the edge of his Kubikiribōchō between himself and the attack. Upon impact, the fire pillar easily split in two, completely protecting Zabuza.
-"Is that the best you can do?"-
Zabuza mocked, causing Creuserey to growl in anger.
From the start of the fight, Zabuza had faced every attack with his sword. Magic, Demonic Power; none of it could escape those powerful slashes. Not even Defensive Magic Circles could survive.
-"You cursed, filthy human!"-
Creuserey snarled, then created two Magic Circles above his head, each firing a powerful beam the size of a beam.
Zabuza easily dodged one beam and quickly slashed through the other. Then, with surprising speed, he lunged at Creuserey, and in a single motion, severed the pinky and ring fingers of his left hand. He could easily have severed his entire hand, but he was only toying with his opponent.
-"Gah, damn it!"- Creuserey yelled in pain and anger as he clutched his left hand with his other. He knew full well that Zabuza was just toying with him. -"Stop playing with me!"-
-"Why? I thought we were having fun,"-
Zabuza said, then laughed along with the other hidden Ninjas.
-(Damn humans...)- Creuserey thought angrily. –(You'll all regret underestimating me!)-
Then suddenly, a black snake wrapped around his body and bit him. A gigantic explosion of Demonic Power followed around Creuserey, destroying the ground beneath his feet and dispersing the mist around him.
Creuserey began to laugh like crazy as he spread his wings to levitate a few meters above the ground.
-"Now you'll see!"- Creuserey shouted with a crazy smile, then created countless Magic Circles around himself; not only with the goal of finishing off Zabuza, but also the Ninjas hiding in the Mist. -"I'll eliminate every single one of you filthy humans!"-
-"Oh?"-
Zabuza looked at the next attack with curiosity.
-"Goodbye!"-
Creuserey shouted, then fired various elemental attacks from the Magic Circles. The water, fire, lightning, wind, ice, and darkness attacks traveled to the surrounding area, destroying the entire forest and completely dispersing the dense fog; it was now replaced by the dust that rose from the attack.
Creuserey smiled when he couldn't see Zabuza anywhere when the dust dispersed.
-"Hahahahahahaha! That's what you get for underestimating me!"-
Creuserey said, then laughed like crazy, but suddenly stopped laughing as the dense fog slowly reappeared to cover everything around him.
-"Nice try, little bat."-
Creuserey opened his eyes in shock as he saw Zabuza's almost blurry silhouette appearing in the middle of the Mist. A few seconds later, the other silhouettes of the Ninjas wielding those strange weapons gathered behind him.
-"H-How?"-
Creuserey stuttered in surprise.
-"I told you... We are the Kirigakure no Kijin,"-
Zabuza said in a demonic voice. He then took a step, causing his body to emerge from the Mist, causing Creuserey to gasp as he saw something different about his opponent. Zabuza had apparently grown a meter and gained a bit more muscle mass; his entire skin had changed color, turning a very dark red. The most noticeable change was the black goat horns that grew on each side of his head.
Then the other Swordsmen of the Mist joined him, showing that they had the same physical characteristics.
-"Wh-What are you?"-
Creuserey asked them as he took a step back, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
-"You see, little bat,"- Zabuza began. -"The weapons we carry were created by a Goddess of Death."-
Creuserey's eyes widened in shock. -"G-Goddess of Death?"-
-"Yes. And to carry these weapons, we had to make two promises. One is that we must follow and protect our leader, the Yōsokage..."-
Zabuza then lowered the bandages on his face, showing Creuserey an evil grin composed of sharp teeth.
-"And the second... Was that we become his servants... The Demons of Death."-
Zabuza then raised his Kubikiribōchō, pointing it directly at Creuserey, who quickly panicked.
-"Don't come near me!"-
Creuserey yelled as he raised his hand, ready to prepare a magical attack.
But it was too late... Zabuza was already behind him...
And his head had already been severed from his body...
-"It was a pleasure playing with you, little bat,"-
Zabuza commented as he watched Creuserey's headless body fall to the ground.
.....
...
....
....
-"And only one more..."-
Naruto muttered, once again satisfied with the result.
Meanwhile, the other spectators were talking about what they had just witnessed.
-"Weapons created... By a Goddess of Death?"-
Ajuka muttered in shock.
Falbium had the same expression. -"Is that even true?"-
-"I don't know,"- Serafall said, trying to process what she just saw. -"But I have to admit... They do look like Demons."-
-"Yes,"- Sirzechs agreed. -"But it's the appearance of a classic Demon stereotype."-
All the Demons began to murmur among themselves about the kind of Demons they had just seen and what kind of weapons they were carrying.
Naruto smirked as he watched the Demons' reactions to the special ability of the weapons created by Shinigami. It was a unique transformation, later named [Katoshiki]. The transformation granted the ability to transform into a Demon, enhancing their strength and speed to great levels.
Naruto didn't know if there were more abilities included in the transformation, but if there were, he was sure Zabuza and the other Swordsmen of the Mist would find out.
And now Naruto focused on the third and final battle shown on the screen.
.....
...
....
....
-"Gyaa! Damn it!"-
Ladón roared after hitting the ground from another powerful blow from A.
Since the start of the fight, Ladón had been receiving blow after blow from A. Not even his natural defense combined with his barriers was able to help him.
While all this was happening, the other members of the expedition group had already been defeated by the Golden Lightning Force. They were unable to keep up and were receiving powerful blows, as the ninjas' physical strength was enhanced thanks to their [Balance Breaker]. Just minutes into the fight, all the supernatural terrorists were already dead or out of action.
Meanwhile, Ladón was receiving his personal beating.
-(How is it possible he's so strong...?)-
Ladón thought as he got up from the ground. He was aware of how powerful Longinus users could be, even more so if it was the Nemean Regulus, but the strength A was displaying was ridiculous to Ladón.
He put those thoughts aside when he saw A above him, pre-forming a kick.
-"[Girochin Doroppu]!"-
A shouted, then swung down on Ladón.
Ladón became alarmed and quickly acted to defend himself; he created the strongest barriers he knew against physical attacks around himself. The attack hit the barriers, which quickly gave way and broke, allowing the blow to land on its true target.
-"What?!"-
Ladón cried out in surprise, then screamed in pain as the powerful kick hit his neck. His neck and head sank into the ground, while A jumped away from the Dragon.
Ladón popped his head out seconds later and glared at A with hatred.
-"You bastard!"- Ladón yelled, then swiftly lunged at him. -"You're going to pay for that!"-
He may not have been the strongest Evil Dragon physically, but he was still a Dragon; a creature of pure power, and stronger than a high-level Dragon.
Ladón was inches away from colliding with his opponent, but then A quickly moved to stand on the Dragon's right side, preparing for another blow.
-"[Raigyaku Suihei]!"-
A declared, then performed a horizontal blow against Ladón.
-"Gyyyyaaaaa!"-
Ladón screamed in pain as he was pushed back by the blow, his massive body forced to crash to the ground. He slowly got back up, his breath ragged, thinking about everything that had gone wrong. His opponent was too strong for him; not even his natural defenses and barriers could defend him from his powerful attacks. Ladón was sure he had never felt so much pain as he was now.
-"You... Damned... Human...!"-
A just smiled and concentrated an enormous amount of chakra; so much so that it frightened the Dragon. He then moved like lightning and appeared in front of a surprised Ladon, who was helpless to prevent what followed.
-"Calm down..."- A spoke. -"This will be over quickly!"-
Then A grabbed Ladón, and with his surprising strength, leaped and lifted him several thousand meters into the air.
-"[Raigā Bomu]!"-
A then used his extreme strength to push down and smash Ladón's head into the ground. The impact was devastating, enough to destroy a large portion of the earth itself upon impact.
Ladón let out a piercing scream. He then let his body fall with a thud, before remaining completely still.
A then calmly walked away from the Dragon, believing he had knocked it out, but stopped in his tracks and looked over his shoulder to see Ladón struggling to get up.
-"Oh?"- A turned to look at the badly injured Dragon. -"Are you still standing?"-
-"I have to admit... I underestimated you..."- Ladón said between gasps. -"You're too strong... You and that cat really make a good team..."-
A agreed with that last bit. From the moment he was chosen by Regulus himself to be his host, he'd been training like crazy to perfectly use his Sacred Gear and be able to use it in conjunction with his jutsus. And in the end, all that training paid off, as he was able to awaken a Balance Breaker subspecies and was also able to use his jutsus in that form.
Without further ado, Ladón continued speaking.
-"Maybe I can't beat you... But at least... I can catch you!"-
Before A could do anything, an ellipse-shaped barrier had surrounded and trapped him. Seconds later, countless of the most powerful and wide barriers Ladón knew followed.
-"Hehehehehehe! Hahahahahahaha!"- Ladón laughed like crazy. -"Take that, damn it!"-
-"What's this?"-
A asked, looking around in confusion. He also felt a little odd.
Then Regulus spoke from the armor.
-"[Is this...? Damn it, Ladón]"-
Regulus growled angrily as he realized what Ladón had done.
-"That's right! It's a [Time Dilation Barrier]! I can distort space-time inside it and make you spend years inside, while you would only spend a few seconds outside!"- Ladón shouted. Then, even though he was injured, he stood on his hind legs and raised his front legs triumphantly. -"And the best part is, I've put the most powerful and wide barriers I know around that barrier! This is the end, human! You'll be trapped in there until you turn to dust!"-
Then he laughed like crazy again.
-"I see..."- A said. He felt the years slowly passing through his body. -"So that's what's happening to me."-
If he had been a normal human, he would have died of old age in a matter of seconds. A was saved thanks to the fact that ninjas age more slowly these days, but at any moment he was about to give in to the years. Then A calmly closed his eyes and slowly raised his right hand.
-"Then I have no choice... But to break the barrier!"- A shouted, widening his eyes. -"Let's do it, Regulus!"-
-"[Yes!]"-
A then released immense amounts of chakra, creating a gigantic glow of lightning around him, which turned golden as it combined with Regulus's power. The union also caused a sort of golden lion made of lightning to form around A. A began to accumulate lightning chakra in the fingertips of his right hand, preparing his powerful [Jigokuzuki] technique.
-"Wh-What!?"-
Ladón cried out in panic at the sudden increase in power.
Then A slowly began to reduce the number of fingers, drastically increasing the intensity and strength of the jutsu, until it was [Ippon Nukite].
-"This ends now!"-
A shouted, then abruptly lunged at the barrier and struck it with his attack. The barrier and the ground itself seemed to tremble from the impact, and seconds later all the barriers shattered like glass under the attack.
Ladón opened his eyes in shock. -"Impossible!"-
Then Ladón noticed that A's attack was still advancing, and this time towards him.
Unfortunately for him, it was too late to dodge. The attack and A had completely pierced the paralyzed Ladón's chest.
-"Wh-What?"-
Ladón slowly lowered his head, only to see a hole the size of A in his chest. Then, finally, his legs gave way, sending him to his knees.
-"N-no..."-
Ladón muttered, then fell to the ground, completely defeated.
A landed perfectly on the ground with a smile. -"Mission accomplished..."-
And then the Khaos Brigade invasion was completely neutralized...
.....
...
....
....
The last screen went black as the fight ended. Seconds later, the ANBU Inu appeared, kneeling in front of Naruto.
-"Invasion neutralized, Yōsokage-sama,"- Inu reported. -"The survivors were immediately imprisoned."-
-"Good. Now, I want you to gather the council,"- Naruto ordered. -"I'll see you there in ten minutes."-
-"As you command, Yōsokage-sama."-
Inu then disappeared to carry out his mission.
Naruto then turned his gaze to the shocked Demons, who were still trying to process what they saw.
-"I think it's time for you to leave."-
-"What?"- Sirzechs was surprised by what Naruto said. -"But, Naruto, I thought we were going to sign the peace treaty after the tournament."-
-"The peace treaty will not be signed, Sirzechs,"- Naruto clarified seriously. -"Not today, at least."-
All the Greater Demons were surprised to hear that, but they were aware of the reason for Naruto's refusal.
Ajuka quickly tried to convince Naruto.
-"Naruto, I know you're angry that Diodora divulged the island's location, but-"
-"Angry?"- Naruto interrupted with an angry expression. -"I'm furious!"-
The Demons were startled by his sudden outburst.
-"I invited all of you with the full confidence that you wouldn't cause any trouble, and then I found out you brought a spy for a terrorist organization with you! My people would have been in danger because of this mistake!"- Naruto shouted. -"And I bet you never suspected Diodora was a spy all this time."-
The Demons felt embarrassed; even more so upon hearing that last bit. They would never have expected Diodora to be a spy for a new terrorist organization.
Naruto sighed calmly, then spoke again.
-"But it's also my fault for being too trusting... I shouldn't have trusted all of you."-
The Demons gasped at that. It was like receiving a blow to hear those words from the same person who is a Hero in the Underworld or a friend to others.
-"Some Ninjas will escort you out. You have one hour to leave the island or you will be forcibly removed..."- Naruto reported seriously. -"We don't see you."-
Then he disappeared in a yellow-red flash.
The Demons continued to stare at where Naruto had been standing. They were still shocked by what had just happened.
-"You really screwed up..."-
Then they looked at Odin, who had said those words.
-"Of all the things they could have done, this was the worst."-
-"That's true,"- Lugh, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement. -"Lord Naruto can be very kind and forgiving in most things, but when it comes to his people... He's a completely different person."-
-"And look, he was very excited about the peace treaty, but this had to happen..."- Odin said. -"The best thing you can do is wait for this to blow over and try again another time."-
The Demons reluctantly agreed, then began to leave the Stadium. Half an hour later, they would leave Yōsogakure No Sato, not to return for a while.
.....
...
....
....
In the middle of the night, Naruto wearily entered his house. He headed to the living room and sat down in the nearest armchair, letting out a tired sigh in the process.
The meeting had ended a while ago, and he had also received the report that the Demons had left without causing any problems. Naruto still had one more job to do, but he sent a Clone to do it for him.
-"Tiring day?"-
Then someone had wrapped their arms around Naruto's head. When he looked up, he saw his wife, Haku, along with his other wives and girlfriend.
-"A very tiring one, indeed,"- Naruto replied. -"How are you? And the children?"-
-"We're fine,"- Fū replied. -"And the children are sleeping."-
Yamato looked at him with concern. -"But the important thing is how you are."-
(JC: I repeat, this is Yamato from One Piece.)
-"I'm just a little mentally tired,"- Naruto sighed wearily. -"I spent the rest of the day with the council; we were deliberating and talking about the invasion."-
-"And how did it go?"-
Yugito asked him with interest.
-"I'll just say that half the council is angry with the Demons and that there won't be an alliance with them anytime soon..."- Naruto replied sadly. -"Looks like I won't be able to see Sera-chan for a while. I'm going to miss her."-
Pakura nodded. -"Yeah, us too."-
-"That's true,"- Haku agreed. -"She was very nice in the short time she stayed with us."-
-"Well, maybe this will calm down soon and I'll be able to see her again..."- Naruto said dejectedly. -"Even if I have to wait a long time."-
The girls looked at each other in concern at seeing Naruto so dejected for the first time. Then, with a simple silent glance, they decided to cheer him up.
In less than a second, the girls moved; Pakura and Guren stood on either side of Naruto and held his arms; Yugito and Fū joined Haku, wrapping their arms around his head; while Yamato sat on his lap, facing each other.
-"Um, girls?"-
Naruto looked at them curiously at what they were doing.
-"Relax, Naruto-kun,"-
Guren whispered softly in his ear.
-"Just let yourself go,"-
Pakura also whispered softly in his other ear.
Naruto let out a small laugh upon discovering what the girls were trying to do. -"You guys sure know how to cheer me up."-
Yamato then placed his hands on Naruto's cheeks, then tilted his head to capture his lips in a soft kiss, which slowly intensified.
They spent the entire night in the living room engaging in their intimate activities, leaving a mess that Cogman had to clean up the next morning.
.....
...
....
....
In a dark, cold room, an unconscious creature was chained up.
-"Wh-what?"-
The creature muttered, slowly opening its red eyes and looking at the strange place where it was.
This creature is none other than the Evil Dragon Ladón.
-"Where am I?"-
Ladón asked himself as he looked around. He quickly noticed that he was completely surrounded by ANBU. He tried to move upon seeing that; and then he noticed he was chained. They were definitely special chains if they were capable of holding him back.
-"What's going on here?!"-
Ladón roared angrily as he aggressively tried to free himself from the chains.
-"I'd calm down, if I were you."-
Then Ladón stopped moving to look ahead, where the voice had originated; only to widen his eyes in shock at the sight of the person he was searching for in the first place during the invasion.
The Sun of the Underworld, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze...
What he didn't know was that the Naruto in front of him was just a Clone.
-"I bet you're wondering why you're still alive."-
Then Ladón realized it. He could have easily died with that last attack from A, but he was still alive.
-"Yes, why didn't you kill me?"-
-"Because you're more useful alive than dead."-
-"If it's information you're after, then you're wasting your time,"- Ladón snarled at him. -"I won't talk!"-
-"Believe me, you will. We ninjas can be very convincing."-
The clone then turned and walked away.
Then, little by little, the ANBU approached Ladón, who began to panic.
It's worth noting that Ladón would speak the next day...
.....
...
....
....
In a dark hallway in an unknown location, the echo of a person's footsteps could be heard heading somewhere specific.
That person is a handsome young man, who appears to be in his early twenties. He has silver hair tied in a braid. He wears a silver robe with elaborate accessories. But the curious thing is that he is not an ordinary person...
But a Demon...
More specifically, the Demon Euclid Lucifuge, a member of the Khaos Brigade's Qlippoth and the leader of the Nilrem Magic Faction.
When Euclid arrived at his destination, he lowered one knee and bowed to a luxurious throne in front of him. On that throne sat someone, acting as if he were the owner or king of the entire world.
He is a middle-aged man, in his forties, with long dark silver hair, hazel eyes, and a beard. He possessed a bottomless, eerie aura around his body. He wore the same attire as Maou Lucifer, albeit silver in color.
This man was perhaps one of the most dangerous people in the supernatural world, due to all his plans to create chaos throughout the world.
This person is a Super Demon and the son of the Original Maou Lucifer...
Rizevim Livan Lucifer...
-"I have a report, Lucifer-sama."-
-"Is it about the expedition group?"-
Rizevim asked, receiving an affirmative response from Euclid.
-"Yes. The coordinates were correct; the Sun of the Underworld was located there... But the expedition group-"-
-"They all died, right?"-
Rizevim interrupted, not at all affected.
-"Yes. Our spies in the Underworld informed us that the Sun of the Underworld created a faction composed of powerful humans, with strange abilities, powerful weapons, and even divine abilities,"- Euclid reported. -"They also informed us that they have a powerful Longinus user with them, who was able to easily kill the Evil Dragon Ladón."-
Rizevim just laughed at that.
-"Uhyahyahyahyahyahya~. So that bastard founded a faction with powerful beings? Now that's interesting!"-
He then laughed again...
For some, that information would have scared them, but not Rizevim; he just heard another way to make Naruto's life hell.
To say that Rizevim detested Naruto would be an understatement; he hated him with all his being, for all the trouble he caused them during the Devil Civil War.
Rizevim smiled broadly. -"Now I know where you're hiding, bastard."-
-"Do you want to send spies to inspect the area, Lucifer-sama?"-
-"No,"- Rizevim shook his head. -"If we did, they'd die in an instant. For now, we won't do anything, but..."-
Rizevim then looked at a piece of paper in his hand with a big smile. On that particular piece of paper were the coordinates Diodora had given him regarding Naruto's location.
-"I think it's time to let everyone know that the Underworld Sun has appeared,"- Rizevim said, a plan forming in his head. -"Uhyahyahyahyahyahya~!"-
And unbeknownst to Naruto, many future problems were heading his way...
TO BE CONTINUED!!!
