Naruto/Highschool DXD Crossover.
One Who Bares Fangs At God - Prologue
It was Monday 6:29 AM, our blonde hero was laying in bed. He was awake but his eyes were closed, in deep thought.
It has been two years since the Fourth War and the final battle that saved the world from destruction.
At least that's what he hoped because he never got a chance to see the results of it all.

RING RING RING
His hand reached out and pressed on the top of the clock ending the alarm. His eyes opened and he slowly got out of bed, slightly tired but awake.
"Guess it's time to get ready ..." With that he got out of his room and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After taking a shower to fully wake himself up and relax his muscles, he changed into an orange short sleeve shirt with long black pants. He then put on a black blazer of the matching color. The blazer and pants were part of the Kuoh Academy boy uniform set that he received. Personally he didn't like the style nor did he care for it, but he didn't want to create a fuss about it so he went along with it. To make up for it, he swapped the white dress shirt for the orange shirt and wore blue athletic shoes instead of the typical brown dress shoes.
He looked into the mirror and the reflection was no longer that of the 15 year old boy that he once was, but that of a 17 year old. His bright sunny blonde hair has been cut shorter than it used to be. His whisker marks have pretty much disappeared save for a single line on each side of his face which have remained as visible as ever. He has grown to a height of 6 ft (183 cm), making him taller than most of the boys at Kuoh Academy. His face had a more mature and serious look than what it used to be.
After he finished changing he headed to the kitchen and out of one of the cabinets, he took out a cup of instant ramen. He slightly opened it up, filled it with water, and put it into the microwave. As the ramen was being heated, he went to the refrigerator to get a carton of milk, got a cup, and poured into it.
As he sat down on a chair, he said to himself;
"2 minutes is sure better than 3 back at home, too bad it's not as good. I could try getting them to make them like they did back home. Heh whatever, maybe someday."
He had to admit, reducing the cooking time by a full minute was certainly a feat by his standards, even if it wasn't as good. Technology sure could be amazing.
This world he lived in now was certainly much more technologically advanced than the world he came from. Sure his world had things such as television, computers, wireless communicators, and other sorts of things, but they weren't as advanced and widespread like world he was in now.
The people in this world had some amazing devices such as cell phones(he possessed one himself), cars, airplanes, etc. They built impressively tall skyscrapers and enormous cities that made the Hidden Villages look like a joke. However, the vast majority of these people seemed to have no ability to mold chakra and their physical ability was much weaker than the people of his world. But it made sense, there were plenty of people he had met in his world that compensated for their lesser innate ability with greater mastery and dexterity of various tools and weaponry. The people of this world would have to rely on technology to make up for the fact that they were not as physically strong nor possess any sort of power.
In fact, most people in back in his world weren't ninjas, but ordinary civilians who worked day to day to make ends meet. Being a shinobi was something that only a handful of people could do.
The people in this world weren't much different at all, they carried on their daily lives trying to feed their families and themselves.
But unlike the people of his world, the people in this world lived innocently with the knowledge of peace. A world where people could live and work towards achieving their goals without the doom of war dawning over them. A world where children could live as children, instead of being trained to be weapons and to die. It was because there was peace that there was great widespread technology and vast cities for people to live in. War would have stopped such progress.
Even though he was proud of being a shinobi, like his parents and his friends were, he fully acknowledged how incredibly flawed and dangerous the shinobi system was. There was pride and honor, but at the same time there was destruction and hatred that plagued his world and ultimately led to the events he experienced.
The shinobi world was trapped in a cycle of hatred, people killing people for the sake of their village, their pride, their honor, the people they loved. Those who survived would bear hatred and exact revenge in the same form of killing. Hatred would pass on from one person to another with the killing keeping the hatred alive. Eventually people forgot why they hated each other in the first place, they were trapped in the endless cycle. The world had became such a hell that would drive individuals, like Madara and Obito, to come to the conclusion that such a world was worthy of nothing but destruction.
The world he lived in now was overall experiencing peace, but it was peace that could end at anytime and there were plenty of pockets in the world with conflicts going on. There were plenty of flaws in the world and the people, but nothing is perfect and Humans are no exception. No matter whatever world he was in, Humans are still Humans.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
The microwave sounds the completion. The blonde gets up and takes the ramen out of the microwave. He sits at the table, stirs the noodles, and has his meal.
As he ate he looked at the palm of his right hand which held the mark of a white circle. It was the mark of Yang which symbolized the Sun. The power that governed over light and life, the power that was granted to him by Hagoromo Ootsutsuki, the Sage of Sixth Paths. The mark also designated him, Naruto Uzumaki, as the reincarnation of the Soul Transmigrant, Ashura, the second son of Hagoromo.
He was the counterpart to Sasuke Uchiha, who was the reincarnation of the Soul Transmigrant, Indra, the first son of Hagoromo. Sasuke had the mark of the black crescent on his left hand, Yin, which symbolized the Moon. That power governed over darkness and death, which was also given to him by the Sage of Sixth Paths.
The two halves combined to complete the Yin-Yang, without each other neither can be complete. There is no life without death and no light without darkness. It was the combination of these two halves that allowed for the defeat of Kaguya Ootsutsuki, the Ancestor of Shinobi, just as it did so long ago for Hagoromo, who possessed Yang, and his brother, Hamura, who possessed Yin.
It was after the defeat of the Rabbit Goddess that Naruto and Sasuke gained all the memories and experiences of all the incarnations of Ashura and Indra respectively.
Naruto wasn't sure who he was anymore. Was he still Naruto Uzumaki or was he now Ashura himself?
"Such a troublesome thought".
As a certain lazy pineapple head friend of his would say. Naruto would agree. It's too troublesome for him to think about. The only thing that made sense now was for him to live on as the person he has always been.
Not for his sake, but for the sake of everyone he loved.
Naruto finishes his meal and looks at the clock on the table. It was 7:40 AM, school started at 8:00 AM and it would take 10 minutes to reach school from his house by walking.
He downs the cup of milk and cleans up and heads to the door. As he reaches the door handle, he looks at palm of his left hand and then takes a look at the photos he had put around the house.
" Ittekimasu."(I'll be back)
He opens the door and leaves.
As the door closes a glimpse can be seen of his left palm.
A mark of eleven circles with lines connecting to each other.

There is a lot of references that I will make from various anime, games, and other works in this story. Props to you if you can see them.
The first one to guess what that Mark represents shall be announced in earliest chapter when the correct guess happens.
