Once Setto left, Dante first looked around his new house. It had two floors, four bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and two bathrooms. It had a small yard that connected to Setto's house, no fences. Dante first went to the master bedroom. Inside there was a bathroom, way bigger than his little closet bathroom he had at the apartment, but the important thing was it didn't have a window, not even a small one. He planned on going into dungeons in there, but he would check for better places. After all if someone entered the house and he was in a dungeon he wouldn't know until it was too late. The dungeon's were the last thing he wanted anyone to find out about. Everything else he planned on showing at some point, or if his powers were discovered earlier than expected he didn't believe he would be dead or imprisoned.
Dante looked at the other bathroom it was on the second floor, more secluded than the master bathroom which was on the first floor. Then after he checked that he looked at the other bedrooms. They were standard, nothing special about them.
As he was walking down to the master bathroom he heard a knock.
Someone was at his front door. Once there he opened the door, it was a Nara clans man.
Dante, my wife has told me a lot about you.
The Nara clans man let himself in brushing by Dante.
Dante hadn't tried to stop him, he could tell, the way he carried himself. He was definitely a jonin, and not a weak one.
Once inside he looked around, no furniture.
He then made his way to the center of the living room and sat down on the floor
Dante closed the door and followed him.
Then Dante sat down opposite of the man.
They both started at each other for a minute.
Then the man spoke, well boy aren't you gonna invite me in?....
Dante's face was slightly irritated, the man had walked in uninvited and now he wanted an invite.
Nevermind boy, kids these days lack any sort of manners.....
Dante's face further grew irritated.
Then the man spoke some more.
You are strange boy, my wife said she was attracted to you and at the same time she wasn't. I can feel it, I'm instinctively attracted to you. It's as if I was a coin and you were the other half. My daughter, when you first met at the academy, she said she didn't feel it. When you approached her a couple days ago, she said she felt it for the first time.
So tell me, why do we feel this way? Do you feel it?
Dante then looked at the man and spoke.
I don't know, maybe you're all just attracted to my good looks....
The man's composure instantly broke.
He was now frustrated.
Boy!! That's not what I meant!! I have a wife and kids, I'm not into men!
Dante then said, well whatever.
Wait, you said Sora? So you must be her father?
The man quickly composed himself..
That's right, my name is Shin Nara. So what's your kekkei genkai...
Dante was a bit nervous, if he revealed it to this man, he would then tell Shikaku Nara and Shikaku would then tell the hokage.
Once the hokage knew Danzo would know.
Dante composed himself and said, can't say, too risky. Dante knew better than to try to out wit a Nara, there was no point in trying to hide the fact that he had a kekkei genkai from this man. Shin asked because he knew the most likely thing Dante possessed was a kekkei genkai. He already knew Dante could use ninjutsu. Oki Akimichi had mentioned that to him before he decided to come. That paired with the fact he didn't use ninjutsu when he spared with Take and the others during the all out spars. That paired with his wife strange behavior towards Dante. He decided to pay him a visit. Once he was face to face he felt it, but it wasn't subtle at all. It was like Dante was calling out to him, like Dante was a friend, but also the exact opposite.
Shin knew what Dante was referring too, his clan had aligned with the hokage.
Despite that root still drafted his son.
Shin wasn't pleased with the hokage, but he wasn't the clan leader. There was nothing he could do.
As for wether I feel what you feel. I do...
Dante didn't know what Shin was talking about at first, but the longer he remained in his presence, the more he felt. It was a slight tug, something inside him was telling him to trust this man, but Dante would remain cautious. Until he was strong enough, stronger than any ninja, stronger than any village.
Shin then spoke, you coming here. You are disturbing plans. Plans made by people in higher places.
Dante knew who he was alluding to, Danzo and maybe Hiruzen. Dante was unsure if Hiruzen was aware of Danzo's targeting of the Senju clan, and if he did Dante didn't know if he was doing anything to stop it, after all there was only one live Senju in the show.
It doesn't matter, I have no choice said Dante.
Shin then stood up.
As long as you know.
With that Shin left.
While Shin was outside, he scoffed. He then looked around to specific places and left.
Dante was thinking about what Shin said. He then realized.
Some one is going to attack, tonight.
Who? And how? Me? Or....
Dante didn't finish his thoughts. He instantly ran to the nearest bathroom.
Once he locked the door, he instantly went into the Boss Battle dungeon.
If someone was going to attack, they would have to wait. Shin had bought him time.
The enemy had to make sure Shin had truly left.
Once they were confident he left then they would attack.
Dante wasn't sure but he guessed he had at least an hour before the attack. He was going to increase his strength as much as possible before the attack, and the best way to do that was to gamble on the Boss Battle dungeon.
The zombie apocalypse dungeon had given him great rewards, but +1 to all stats wasn't going to be enough, another minor ability wouldn't be enough.
"Boss Battle": kill the boss.
As Dante stared at the countdown all he could think was "this is it"....
Once I exit this dungeon, I have to move.
3
2
1...
The countdown ended.
Dante saw the boss.
What the hell... It's an angel....
It was a humanoid looking angel, white wings a halo with six eyes around it, the face itself was a blur, it wasn't wearing any armor, just a robe, down past its feet, it was holding a weapon, a spear made of light, and it was flying, hovering about 5ft from the ground.
Why the fuck is there an angel here....
As Dante whispered to himself the angel attacked...
It threw the spear of light.
Dante tried his best to dodge, but he was too slow. He had to use substitution jutsu.
Once he was safe he quickly unsheathed his sword, and shot a Light bullet at the angels head.
The angel didn't dodge it conjured another spear of light and swiped the light bullet before it could hit. Then the angel threw the spear again. This time Dante had his sword prepared and he slashed at it. To his surprise the light spears trajectory was redirect.
It hit the ground five ft to the right where his slash ended.
So I can parry it's light projectiles.
Dante moved as fast as he could, faster than he ever had to since he reincarnated.
The angel kept shooting light spears, one after the other.
Dante kept parrying the spears of light, once he has 10ft from the angel, the angel conjured a shield in its other hand.
With a shield on his left and a spear on it's right hand it charged.
It was faster than Dante.
Once close to Dante, it stuck out with the spear, a jab.
Dante met it with a slash of his sword, he was pushed back 3ft, staggering he used triple cast and let out a light wave. Three light waves crashed onto the angel.
The angel was hit with the first wave and before the second wave could strike it swung its spear down and cut the light wave, then on the last wave it blocked with it's shield, blocking the light wave broke it's stance and Dante took advantage, he shot a light bullet at its head.
The bullet hit the angel in the head, to Dantes surprise it didn't die, the angel recovered from its broken stance and launched at Dante. It shield bashed Dante.
Dante blocked with his sword, but he was sent flying, the angel then threw its spear at Dante and flew towards him.
Dante was mid air and was unable to block the incoming spear.
Just before the spear hit him, he used clone jutsu, the clone appeared where he was at mid air and was instantly hit with the light spear. Poof.
The angel caught up to him and was flying above him, it conjured another spear, this time it stabbed it towards Dante.
Dante had regained his balance, once he saw the angel on top of him, he slashed out with his sword.
Dante's sword and the angels spear met in the air.
The force pushed Dante down, he hit the ground, creating a small crator. He coughed out blood, and instantly used Regen, It reminded him of the spars with Haro. Everytime Dante spared him he always tried to slam Dante, and when he succeeded he would slam Dante straight into the ground.
The angel was pushed up, but it easily stabilized itself with its wings.
Dante got up instantly and looked up at the angel. He was having a hard time breathing, if he took the time to check his health stat he would see 50/190. He almost died in one hit, and his chakra was almost gone.
Damn, maybe I shouldn't have entered this fucking dungeon, oh well too late now...he thought to himself.
The angel suddenly moved, it shot down, it dove. Dante had a smirk on his face.
When the angel was about to clash with Dante yet again, it conjured another spear.
It aimed at Dantes head, it wanted to skewer him.
Dante shot another light bullet at the angel and right before it could skewer him he body flickered above into the sky.
Dante had seen it as it dove. It's halo one of the eyes was closed, there were five left.
In a split second he knew, the eyes on its halo, they were it's life's.
The angel didn't have time to block the light bullet, the light bullet wasn't as fast as light, but it still traveled faster than the normal human eye can see. That and the angel was diving full speed.
Just as the angel was hit with the light bullet another eye closed from its halo, it believed it won, it didn't expect Dante to disappear just before its spear could touch him.
It hit the ground at full speed, the crater that Dante made with its body widened.
As the angel hit the ground, it was paralyzed for a second.
As it was recovering from the impact, one of its eyes closed half way.
Dante was in the sky falling fast and the angel had no idea.
Once the angel was able to move it stood to its feet, at the same time Dante had now fallen and was 2ft from the angel.
The angel sensed the danger it was in and tried to move, but it was hit.
Dante slashed down at the angel aiming for the halo, at the last moment the angel managed to move its head and Dante cut down from its shoulder to its waist.
The angels bones were too hard, Dante wasn't able to cut it in half, two of its eyes closed and so did the half closed eye.
It had two eyes remaining.
As Dante was recovering from his slash the angel moved, it quickly swung its shield at Dante.
Dante was in the middle of recovering, he barely managed to duck under the swing, he then upper cut the angel with his sword, the angel stepped back to avoid it, but Dante used the momentum to jump up and spun once in the air before he kicked the angel instead.
He hit the angel on its chest where it's heart should be.
The angel staggered back from the impact, but wasn't visibly damaged.
Dante was in the air and threw his sword at the angel, the angel parried his sword knocking it into the sky.
While the angel was staggered and parrying his sword, Dante landed and lunged at the angel. He threw a combo, he first struck with a right hook to the angels left cheek, then he followed it up with a left hook, after that he spun and elbowed the angel in the left cheek.
The angel was caught off guard and couldn't recover, after the first punch landed it staggered even more, the second bunch further staggered it and the elbow hit him in the face.
Once the angel was hit with the elbow it slashed out with its spear in a wide horizontal arc. The spear was too long and the tip would never hit Dante, but it was made of light, if it touched Dante it would cut him in two.
Dante instinctively jumped over the spear swipe, he caught his sword and slashed down at the angel.
His slash hit the angel on the other shoulder and slashed down to its waist.
The angel expected Dante to hit the ground again so it moved to shield bash Dante.
Once Dante hit the ground the angel was already on top of him.
The angels shield was about to make contact with Dantes head but Dante disappeared again.
The angel hit the ground with its shield and quickly looked up.
There was nothing there...
Just as the angel was going to turn around, it stopped....
Dante had body flickered behind it and slashed with all his might at the angels halo.
The last two eyes closed and the angel had died.
Dante was low on chakra, he was starting to suffer from chakra exhaustion. He had gone all out.
He collapsed, he wasn't out but he couldn't move he felt like he was in quicksand. He had to wait for his chakra to recover.
Damn, hopefully they don't attack yet. It hasn't been that long the fight only lasted about a minute.

As Dante looked at the rewards, he instantly knew entering the dungeon was the right choice. Even if he was already surprised by ninjas outside. As he exited the dungeon, he couldn't help to think. If I had waited before I entered the dungeon apocalypse dungeon for the first time, I could have gotten bonus rewards.
Once outside Dante lay on the bathroom floor. He layed there for another two minutes and after he could get up he turned on the shower.
He then took off his clothes and layed in the shower. After five minutes he got up and scrubbed himself with his hands and water. He had no soap and nothing to scrub himself with.
Then after some thought he ate the chakra pill. He felt a large amount of chakra flowing through his body before it disappeared. His chakra sat at 230/430.
With one pill he doubled his chakra....
He promptly cast Regen to top off his health.
He then exited the bathroom, he only took his sword with him. It was chipped on one side and cracked on the other, where his blade met the angels bones. It was still unsheathed, he looked at it and knew it would block one, maybe two blows if he was lucky, before it broke.
He made his way to the living room to the corner where his clothes was at.
Once he stepped into the living room he felt like he wasn't alone.
He continued to walk to his pile of clothes and spoke. You know peeping on a 12 year old boy is kind of weird.... What would your parents think?
There was silence.
Are you here to kill me or restrain me? Dante asked as he put on a pair of black pants and a white shirt, then he put on a tan jacket with the Nara clan symbol on the back.
He hadn't went through the clothes Sara had bought for him, he didn't care what clothes she bought. He was just thankful at the time.
Looks like you're here to restrain me, at least long enough for the attack to happen Dante said as he finished dressing himself. He left the sword next to his pile of clothes, then he started walking.
I gotta go, I forgot something important at my mom's house, I'll be back quick I promise he said as he walked closer to the door.
Just as he was three steps from the door a kunai was shot at the door, it struck next to the handle.
Dante saw it come from the kitchen, then a man stepped out from behind the wall.
He was wearing a mask, pure white just black holes, where the eyes would be.
He was also dressed like a sand ninja, light brown pants and a tan flak jacket. He even had a sand headband on his arm.
Dante knew the moment he saw the mask, this guy was a member of Danzo's root.
Dante stopped, he waited but the man never spoke.
Dante then sat down, he would wait for a bit.
He had to recover more chakra.
He then opened his inventory and took out his light conjuration scroll.
He put his hand in his jacket as if reaching for something.
The man tensed a little, then out came a scroll.
Don't be so tense, it's just reading material Dante said and let out a small chuckle.
Have you ever seen a magic trick? I mean...
Have you ever seen something you just can't explain?? I'll show you something like that, watch carefully....
Just as Dante fi ished his sentence the root ninja put his left hand behind his back, ready to launch shuriken and kunai at Dante.
Then it happened, the scroll Dante was holding, it disappeared.
He was shocked, he couldn't sense any chakra usage to explain how it disappeared, he was watching Dante's every movement and he hadn't made any.
So what do you think? You can't explain how I did it can you?
Dante then closed his eyes and looked at his status screen.
Dante:level 3 exp 250/300
Strength:16
Agility:15
Spirit:13
Constitution:11
Intelligence:8
Health: 190/190
Chakra: 266/430
He didn't level up.
Then he looked at his jutsu's, clone jutsu reached level 3 (Max) the chakra cost went down to 5 and the cooldown went down to 15 seconds. From one use during his fight with the angel.
His substitution jutsu was also level 3 (Max) the chakra cost went down to 10 and the cooldown went down to 1 minute 30 seconds.
His Light release was now level 5.
His light bullet was level 4, it went up two levels it's cooldown went down from 6 seconds to 5 and chakra cost was now at 12 per use.
Light wave was level 2, it remained the same.
Sword Proficiency went up to level 3, he now gained passive 3% increase to learning with swords.
Scrappy was the same, no change there.
Looks like level 3 is a milestone, once one of my jutsu reaches it. The chakra cost and cooldown reduce. Is the next change at 6 and the last at 9?
I'll find out soon...
He was satisfied, the Boss Battle. It was tough but he had gained so much from it.
Outwardly he was smiling, the man stared at him, still ready to strike.
Dante then used his exp orbs, they weren't physical items. They carried exp after all.
He leveled light conjuration to level 3 it's cooldown was now at 5 and chakra cost was at 15, that left him with 1400 exp.
His original plan was to max out Light Release, but he needed power now, and he had witnessed the angel use light conjuration. He could use the skill for attack and defense.
He then leveled light wave to level 3 which left him with 1100 exp.
The cooldown for light wave dropped to 20 seconds and the chakra down to 75.
He then leveled light bullet to level 6, using the remaining exp.
The skill now had 2 uses before it went on cooldown, the cooldown was at 4 and chakra cost at 10.
Dante was happily surprised, 2 uses for 10 chakra. The level 6 change was worth the exp he used on it.
Dante then opened his eyes, it had been 10 minutes and the man was still standing there ready to strike.
So? Did you figure it out? Dante asked.
The man stayed silent.
Man, you must be fun at parties....
Do the members of root even get to go to parties? You probably don't even have a life outside the root, do you?
Once Dante mentioned root, the man attacked.
His other three squad members were to eliminate the two Senju kids in the other house and then they would eliminate Dante.
Now that Dante had mentioned root, the man couldn't let Dante live any longer. If Dante managed to live and spread word that root was the culprit of the attack, it would be the end of Danzo's root. Maybe even Danzo himself if Tsunade heard about it.
The man flickered in front of Dante and went straight for the neck....
