A/N: Hello everybody, Enyalio here I'm new at this and this is my first try at writing... well posting my writing really so I'd love some advice please don't hesitate to let me know if I've done something wrong (nicely please) and just because this is my first fic posted does not mean a haven't read a lot of stories on this site and I might make references and homages to others work every so often (consciously or not), so if you see something from your or someone else's story and I don't credit them at the end of the chapter please let me know so I can either fix it or remove the reference if you want me to.
A/N2: Yes this is a Naruto x Justice League Crossover with a bit of Devil may cry in it to add flavor, No, neither Dante nor Vergil will make an appearance here it's only some weapons and abilities, I may reference them later but they're not going to have much if any part in the story.

Session 1: Break on Through to Other Side
X~X~X~X
8 Years... 8 long hellish years...
Two figures battle in what was once one of Hi no Kuni's lush forests, now all that remains is a dusty and desolate wasteland, with only the charred and broken husks of what used to be trees to show any hint of what this area was before the battle began.
But today finally this war will end, one way or another.
"Tell me child of prophecy, why do you oppose me?" the shorter of the two men questions, this man has long waist length black hair, wearing rust colored samurai-like armor that is littered with many scratches, dents and cracks and is even missing the right sode (1) completely, underneath that his black robes and shinobi pants are covered with cuts and tears, and stained with blood not all his own, in fact the only thing of his that looks to be in any decent condition is his gunbai.
"Why... you really have to ask why. Why I would fight against you, why I would stand against your mad plan, why I don't want humanity to die… are you stupid or something Madara?!" This figure responds in anger, he like the now named Madara, is not in the best shape his sage coat sporting many tears and missing its sleeves and soaked with blood, his anbu style armor cracked and broken his pants torn up with a few holes along the leg, his normally spiky golden blond hair lay flat against his head caked with blood, his fierce blue eyes focused one his opponent, again like Madara his weapon a flaming whip that is reminiscent of a fox with it's tail being the thong now covered with blue fire.
"What are you blathering about jinchuuriki?" Madara asks, his confusion apparent in his cold voice.
"What do you mean what am I blathering about?" The bloody blond shouts, using his left hand to point at the Uchiha, "I'm talking about the Tsuki no Me plan, it will kill everyone!" he finishes yelling, his right hand along with the whip partially concealed by his back as he turns to point.
Madara angered by his scheme being questioned and tired from a week long fight doesn't notice his foes movements as he responds, "The Tsuki no me will stop all wars it is the only way to peace."
"Peace of the grave maybe but not true peace." he yells, in an attempt to continue to distract Madara, 'Just stay there, just a little longer...'
"What do you mean peace of the grave the plan won't kill anyone, it will ju-"
'Now!'
*Crack*
Suddenly nine flaming ropes appear from the ground beneath Madara, burning his flesh and binding his limbs, and with a mighty pull upon the handle Naruto sends The ancient Uchiha flying towards him at high speeds.
*Poof*
And in a puff of smoke the whip is replaced with a kanabo that looks like a demonic beehive, and as the hundred year old clan leader reaches him he brings the club down in a mighty swing, slamming him into the earth, as the demon club hits Madara some of the bulbs fall off but are quickly replaced, the bulbs that fell start floating in the air letting out a buzzing sound and sparking with electricity, behaving like angry hornets (and just like hornets they seek out the closest threat to the 'hive' to get rid of it, unfortunately for Madara, that's him) and with each swing of the kanabo Naruto pounds Madara into the ground again and again, over and over kicking up more dust each time until he has to stop after he covers the entire area with dust, as the dust cloud clears Naruto look down to see … a bunch of splinters in a small crater.
'Dammit, kawarimi!'Narutoimmediately on guard, searches for his enemy,
Katon:Gōkakyū no Jutsu(2)
But he is not quick enough, the fireball crashes down upon the very spot he was standing,
Was, being the key word here.
"Now if I hurry I can extract the Kyuubi before the gaki's completely dead." Madara mutters to himself, looking at spot where the fireball hit he see's... nothing but scorched earth and the burnt remains of the log he substituted himself with, sensing someone behind him he spins around, slashing with the scythe end of the gunbai making a deep cut into Naruto's chest.
Naruto looks down at the wound before looking back up smirking, he says one word, "Boom."and then he explodes revealing himself to be an Exploding clone, Madara blocking the attack with his fan manages to avoid most of the damage. However this left him open for the other Naruto clone behind wearing a set of gauntlets and greaves both glowing with bright white light, the golden haired clone hits the Uchiha with an uppercut sending him into the air where he is quickly surrounded by five other copies, each one begin striking him repeatedly doing more and more damage to the madman, until finally culminating a dive kick sending the black haired man to the ground.
"How do ya like a that Madara? I call it, Uzumaki Beowulf Rendan.(3)" The Uzumaki calls out to prone figure in a mocking voice, until said prone figure goes up in a puff of smoke, "Kage Bunshin? But that's my thing. Madara you copycat bastard get out here!"he yells out.
"As you wish." A voice behind him says, Naruto turns around quickly, only to receive a punch to that gut that sends him fly a good few dozen feet, as he's flying he thinks, 'No matter how many time I get hit, I'd still prefer Baa-chan's punches, at least they're softer.' as he starts to slow down Madara appears in his flight path using kamui, and sends him flying it the other direction using his war-fan.
"I believe it's time to end this farce jinchuuriki." Madara says, his voice carrying over the ruined battlefield, as he starts walking towards the downed hero, keeping alert for anymore tricks.
'Damn it... get up... move you stupid body, Move!' Naruto's thoughts race, attempting to move some part... any part of his body, but only managing a few small twitches.
"It's high time this battle comes to an end." Madara states, getting closer and closer still.
'Get up, don't let there sacrifices be in vain.' images flash through his head, a silver haired man, a young man with a large dog and fang tattoos, another wearing a large coat covering his form, two people wearing green spandex, a pink haired girl and someone with his hair in the style of a ducks rear end, and a young woman with long blue hair a lavender eyes, along with countless others.
"Why don't you do something good for the world jinchuuriki, and give up?" The Uchiha asks, as he reaches the mouth of the crater.
'Give up... he really just wants me to Give Up!?' He thinks in rage, hate coursing through his very being, fury making his blood like magma, 'No, I won't give up, I refuse to give up, I don't care if I die too, I'll at least take him with me to hell!' and just like that something in Naruto broke, his anger that has reached new heights along with his raw determination and his refusal to let this madman continue and hurt any more of his precious people or threaten the world, unlocking something within him, dark orange energy begins pulsing off of him, his wounds begin healing a rapid rate allowing him to push himself up to his knees.
Madara, seeing this can only wonder what's going on, 'This power, is this the Kyuubi? No matter he'll be dead soon enough.' as he gets closer the strange energy pluses faster and faster, odd rings of energy covered with ruins begin to rotate around Naruto, until the whole thing stops completely, ' Ha, it was nothing, a wasted gambit by a dying man.' Madara thinks, sure that he is right, lifting the blade end of his gunbai he prepares to bring it down, to end this fight, as he brings the blade down it stops, look at what caused it to stop he sees... well he doesn't know what sees, his opponent seems to have been replaced by what looks to be a demon of some sort.
It's skin is obsidian black, covered in chitinous armor colored, burnt orange, piercing red eyes that glow like the fires of hell, it's covered in what looks like fox bones, and it has spiky white hair, it has two sets of wings one being large black and orange wings that are easily five feet long just below its shoulder blades and another much smaller pair at its lower back just above it's tailbone, speaking of its tailbone it has a tail that is at least four feet long also covered with bone-like armor, the hands end in inch long claws, its feet have claws on the end of each toe. Overall it's an intimidating sight.
"What the hell is this?" Madara asks, fear evident in his voice, as he strains to free his weapon from the demon's grip.
The demon says two words, his voice deep and dark, "Devil Trigger." Its right hand still clenched around his foe's blade yet not drawing blood, he pulls his left hand back in preparation of a punch, Madara his mind clouded with fear and busy trying to free his weapon does not notice, Naruto sends the punch flying nailing the hundred year old clan leader right in the chest, sending him sailing losing his weapon in the process.
Madara landing a good 30 meters away, struggles to get up his chest armor finally having enough breaks and falls away, "That was a good hit Jinchuuriki, but that was the last time you'll hit me." he states proudly his arrogance overcoming his fear. "Susanoo!" Madara calls out, a large ethereal body forming around him.
Naruto, now back in his human form (his devil trigger having only lasted for a moment) is busy looking over his new weapon doesn't notice until the body is finished forming, sealing away the gunbai and unsealing a different weapon he starts running at Madara.
Madara seeing this as his chance to win starts firing his Susanoo's Yasaka Magatama at Naruto, Naruto having expected this dodges them rather easily, the Uchiha seeing this starts fire more Magatama barely missing each time a kicking up more dust with each miss.
Once the dust cloud is large enough Naruto, now hiding in it, blurs out of existence for a moment before reappearing behind Madara's Susanoo, swinging the blade he cuts a hole into the chakra construct, allowing him to run in, charging at Madara, Naruto slashes at Madara in an attempt to bisect him, the sword is stopped by a kunai Madara drew in defense.
"That's a nice sword you have there." The sharingan wielder says, admiring the blade.
"Ya like it, It's called Yamato, It's said to be able to cut through anything," Naruto Replies proudly, as if to emphasize his point the kunai Madara is using to defend himself with is cut in half the very moment he finishes saying this, Madara quickly uses kamui in order to allow the blade to pass trough him in an attempt avoid the damage, "even dimensions." Naruto finishes saying, smirking all the while.
Madara's attempt at avoiding the damage fails, causing him to take the attack head on, getting dealt a fatal blow.
"Well... *Cough* well done, Uzumaki... you *hack...cough* may... have won b-but... *cough* I'm afraid yo-you won't get a chance to celebrate your *Hack* vic-victory. Kamui." Madara uttering his final words, with difficulty due to the deadly chest wound, using one last technique to rob Naruto of his victory, Madara uses kamui to teleport Naruto to his personal pocket dimension, in a last desperate attempt to kill his opponent, by trapping him in the void between worlds.
Naruto, hearing Madara finish his sentence tries to get away, but is too late feeling a strange pulling sensation and some vertigo, Naruto disappears in a swirling distortion of space and time, leaving Madara alone to bleed out.

-X- Kamui Dimension, Unknown time later. -X-
'*ugh*... What hit me?' the surviving half devil wonders, 'Oh yeah, Madara's kamui... who knew he was such a sore loser.' pushing himself off the 'ground', if you can even call it that, he shakes off his grogginess, and stretches his arms and back to get the kinks out of it, sitting cross legged, he looks around trying to figure out where he is, 'let's see, unending darkness, check. Complete isolation, check. And a whole lot of giant crumbling rectangles, check. ...Pretty sure that last one is not a good thing.' deciding to seek advice from his furry friend, he turns his thoughts inwards, and asks for help.
'Oi, Kurama wake your fuzzy butt up!' in the most respectful way he can manage.
"What do ya want kit? I was in the middle of something." the annoyed voice of his tenant rings through Naruto's head.
'In the middle of what? What can you really do in there.' The blond asks, confused and trying to figure out what his constant companion was doing.
"If you must know, I was *yawn* having a wonderful dream where I was eviscerating Madara." Kurama replies, still a little sleepy from being just woken up.
'Oh... well you should have been awake, because I just did that.' Naruto states in an offhand manner, with a grin on his face.
"Hmm, that's nice now what do yo-... wait WHAT!" The Kyuubi roars in anger, "You mean to tell me you were beating the crap out that pink eyed bastard... And You Didn't Wake Me Up!"
'No, no of course not … I was killing that "pink eyed bastard" and I didn't wake you up.' The blond answers a cheeky grin on his face.
"That doesn't make it better Naruto." The colossal fox deadpans, its eye twitching.
'Get over it you big baby, you can watch my memories of it later.' Says Naruto, reminding him of that fact.
"I guess... *sigh* now what do you need gaki?" the chakra demon accepting that, and choosing to let that 'big baby' thing go... for now, tries to get their conversation back on track.
Naruto begins explaining the situation, 'Well, I seem to be stuck in Madara's Kamui dimension-'
"That's falling apart." The fox pipes in, interrupting him.
'That's falling apart...' Naruto nodding in agreement doesn't quite get what just said for a moment, until, "What do you mean this place is falling apart?!" He yells out loud in shock, not really understanding what the fox just said.
"I mean this place is falling apart, look around you everything is crumbling and it looks to be getting darker." Kurama answers, and sure enough most of the strange rectangles are either falling to pieces or just dropping into the nothingness below.
"Well how do we get out of here?"Naruto asks, too stressed to talk telepathically, and settling for just yelling in to the yawning maw of emptiness that the dimension is quickly becoming.
"Well I don't know, if only you had something that can cut through dimensions." The giant fox replies in a sarcastic way.
"Jeez, no need to be an ass." Naruto mutters in annoyance, pick up Yamato and preparing to cut through reality.
"Naruto just get us out of here, I'd rather not spend the rest of my eternal life in the void between worlds." The Kyuubi grounds out.
"*sigh* ...Fine." the blond swordsman says, cutting open a hole to another world and jumping trough.

-X- Unknown location, Unknown time later.-X-
Looking around all Naruto can say is, "Where the hell are we?"
