AN: hey maticore here for the intro to chapter 2(or whatever I decide to call it at a later date) just so every one is aware I am not bashing (many)characters I am just trying to give them believable responses to the situations they are in but I am sure you can tell sakura irks me.
Okay be aware in this chapter I am trying to finish the set up I will probably go over it again in a rewrite but for now this covers the essentials of the story. And with that may the chapter begin!
DISCLAIMER I do not own nor make any money off of naruto or highschool DxD and am doing this entirely for the giggles.(warning this is my first attempt so could very well be incredibly shit)

Chapter 2
"I AM GOING TO KILL THAT OLD MAN"
That was the sole scream that caught the entire allied armies attention.
It was a scream mixed of rage and despair and it echoed echoed throughout the silence that was now predominant on the fields of battle.
Almost immediately after He unleashed his blood curdling scream sasuke dropped to his knees looking as if all life had been drained from him.
"Sasuke-kun? Sasuke? What happened? Please tell me?"screamed sakura as she arrived at his side holding him close to her chest trying to comfort the boy, all the whilst tears streaming down her face.

Not Long afterwards he kage arrived to see the cause of the screams amid the lull . The scene they found was not what they were expecting.
What they found was a mentally broken sasuke in the arms of a crying sakura both completely ignoring the out cold kakashi.
But what really got them was that naruto was out cold too!
Tsunade immediately immediately ran to naruto on arrival to try and help him and refused to leave his side even when they got him to the hospital in kumogakure. As for kakashi he was up and about in a few days explaining he just had a bad case of chakra exhaustion and was "never playing chicken with team OP ever again"
Meanwhile the reincarnated kage had been sent "back" but not before an explanation on why the uchiha was broken was given. Apparently in the middle of a kage meeting the spirit of the rikudo senin had 'manifested' itself.

"Okay before we start this meeting off,WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE KAKASHI!" bellowed A clearly annoyed about his preasance in the room
"well you see I was meeting with the hokage and she said ...I quit your turn now" he sighed in response making the entire room sweat drop.
"and what do you mean by that?" asked mei at this kakashi looked awkward.
"Well you see she said that if she couldn't protect those who are close to her she isn't worthy of the title." was kakashis response
At this everyone in the room just looked down as they remembered that naruto was still in a coma.
It was then when no one was expecting it that like walking out of a mirage hagaromo appeared in the centre of the room.
With the appearance of hagaromo The ANBU guarding the room immediately jumped into action surrounding him with weapons drawn and guarding their respective kage.
"please calm down there is no need for violence, I am just here to explain a few occurrences and lay the resurrected souls to rest" he explained a statement which got more than a few raised eyebrows.
"It would be best if I introduce my self ...I am the conciousness of the person once known as hagaromo ostutsuki and it was me that unlocked the powers that naruto and sasuke displayed during the war and allowed them to seal my mother." although there was a wide variety of reactions to this statement from outrage to just shear jealousy. However Gaara had the preasance of mind to realize he must have had a reason to do such a thing "and why pre-tell would you do such a thing if like you say you are his 'conciousness' and on another note what 'occurrences' would require our attention to them?"
At this hagaromo explained how his sons had been transmigrating through the generations and how he wished to stop their eternal fighting and how he also didn't wish for humans to suffer at the hands of his mother if he could help prevent such a thing from happening.(AN1).
"It was just after the boys had sealed my mother that I started another conference with them when things started to go wrong."stated hagaromo
"how so?" asked mei the rest of the kage also looked intrigued
"before I bestowed the power to both boys I asked them their goals one was pure and noble the other ….not so much."was the response that they received causing a uncomfortable ripple around the room
"still I bestowed the power in the hopes that the fight with mother would change the view ...it did not!" at this point all the kages were looking at each other with worry etched on their faces
"please continue" invited Gaara as he signalled for a chair to be brought sensing that this was either going to be an exhausting or a long tale
"well child the questions I asked where what where the goals with the bijuu and overall goals"stated hagaromo "as the creator of the bijuu I wish the best for them so I want them to be treated with respect and honour hence this meeting!" this statement shocked the council as they had always believed them to be a natural creature but decided to implement laws protect them in the new 'union' of shinobi
"also both boy answer the questions naruto said all he wants is to protect those who are 'precious' to him" hearing this caused those that know him to smile as it was typical naruto but it also made them wonder if this was the honourable answer what was the other?
"now indra replied saying he wanted to remake the world in an image of his liking"
this statement shook the room
"who is indra?"asked A causing every one to sweat-drop
"eh okay moving on in an effort to curtail that I implemented a plan to severely limit his power
I have removed and transferred the 6th paths power and dojutsu to ashura, ehm I mean naruto"(AN2)
explained hagaromo
"well that explained sasukes mind set at the moment but you haven't explained what happened to naruto
at this moment a look of sadness flashed across hagaromos face. "well due to him using kuramas power so much he has developed a severe case of chakra poisoning and there is nothing that I can do for him." at this statement practically everyone in the room was up in arms
"Hold on I said there's nothing I can do but its not hopeless!" he bellowed barely being heard over the ruckass in the room
"what do you mean by that!" growled kakashi "well while I was talking to the boys in their mind-scape someone forced their way even with my defences in place" this statement shocked everyone in a ever shocking conversation.
"this ….'visitor' has the power to save naruto but only if I agreed to their deal of unknown contents but I was assured that things would turn out better for him if I agreed than not"
At this the kage were absolutely horrified the choice was let naruto ...the hero of the war die...or be rescued by an unknown and simultaneously agreeing to an unknown contract...dire situation indeed .
Seeing this hagaromo decided to intervene "As naruto is my only worthy heir I have decided to trust this person. They said that they will be 'picking him up' within the week. How I have no idea but they did say that time is for us to say our good byes."

Ophis was sitting in her home perusing the other dimensions trying to decide which one would work best for her plan. She turned around and checked the dimension that her 'acquisition' was in to check that he was still alive. Once she saw that he was okay she returned to her task at hand.

In the infirmary in kumogakure things were starting to return to normal with only the most severe cases still located their and the rest being shipped out to the other villages for treatment. There was one exception in a luxurious room in the facility was two people one was naruto namikaze uzumake
the other was his god mother Tsunade senju.
It had been a week since she had left the room and had fallen into a deep depression she had barley noticed when people came and went, not even noticing the gifts of appreciation and hope of recovery that they left.
But one day something happened that couldn't help but take her notice, a small girl literally walked though a black vortex in the wall!
"Who are you!"shouted tsunade
"I am the one who can save his life, I assume hagaromo explained?" asked the girl much to tsunades confusion
"From the look on your face you do not know. Very well I agreed to help naruto but to help him I will be taking him with me."stated the girl
This caused a major conflict within tsunade yes her godson would live ….but would she see him?
It didn't matter she decided as long as he was alive and happy!
"Okay if you are taking him just make sure he is happy" said tsunade with tears already gathering in her eyes. Taking this as the end of the chat Ophis walked over to the spare bed where all the gifts where piled and picked up the katana that had been left by mifune then walked over to naruto and opened a rift to the gap.

I was feeling exceedingly tired, my eyelids felt so heavy it was almost impossible to open them, that was when I heard the voice " are you awake naruto?"
At this I made the effort to open my eyes and was treated to the most peculiar of sights, he was in a weird place or more like non place it was just lots of random colours but the one remarkable feature was the little girl standing over him.
"yeah?" I said to which the girl just nodded "good I have an offer for you but you cant take too long as I have to put you back into suspended animation soon."
"okay and your offer?" I asked "well young one I can let you pass on that would be option one or I can give you a second chance and I guarantee you will have a family and will live a happy life although I warn you if you choose this option you will owe me and later on I will call the debt."
Hearing the options I thought them through it was tempting to just give up and see mum and dad but then a image showed up in my head of granny tsunade, that was when I remembered that her one wish was for me to live a happy life. It was that which caused my decision.
"I think I will take you up on your offer thank you" I said with determination, the girl who had a better poker face than kakashi actually betrayed a little bit of a smile and said "your welcome enjoy your sleep" at which point my eyes almost immediately began to close and through the haze I hear her saying something but all I heard was "...y son"(AN3)

once she had put naruto into stasis it was time to do the repair work first job was to remove that being from him as it was part of the bargain with that man.
Once it was removed she released it back into its own dimension and got back to work. Checking the effects of removing the beast she noticed his body was now desperately trying replace the drain which she thought should have interesting results.
Once that was done she broke him down and 'transmigrated' him to the family she had selected during her wait. Lastly she programmed his current knowledge to slowly release into his subconscious so that by the time he was 17 he would be at the same level he was.
With this done she sent him on his way and prepared for the next step

The lucifage clan one of the oldest and most die hard supporters of the old faction also one of the most powerful clans in the underworld renown for their powers for ice. So when word of a new heir being born to the clan heads reached the new Satan faction they launched an all out attack knowing that this would be their only chance to severely damage the clan as they would be distracted by the birth of the heir.
Inside lucifage castle lord and lady lucifage were worried sick as the front lines were practically on their door steps and the only person they trusted to send their child to safety with was off on an assassination mission. Just as things looked as if it would be the end of the clan with the castle being invaded by the army 'Fate' intervened.
"ohh my little naruto im so sorry you had to be born at such a troubled time" crooned lady lucifage to her newborn as the castle shook from yet another explosion. She looked over to her husband who just smiled back. To both their surprise a vortex appeared in the room and out walked a little Gothic girl!
"WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DID YOU GET HERE!" bellowed lord lucifage . "my name is Ophis and I have an offer" Ophis replied scaring the two devils and making the baby giggle,
"I can take your child somewhere safe ...he will be with family and be safe" she said the family was overjoyed at this but were used to 'devils bargains' so asked "and the catch?" "you will never see him again" she dead panned. Causing them both to stare at her only when the castle shook again did they realize the situation.
Once the situation sunk in they looked at each other understanding the meaning 'do what is best for our child'. "Okay you have a deal just let us say good bye" with that the family said their goodbyes to each other and then handed the baby over to Ophis and she disappeared leaving the family to their fate.

grayfia lucifage was in her home it was small but comfortable she was enjoying her time off when she heard the door go.
She went and looked only to see a basket with a child with pure silver hair and ice blue eyes with a silver and black katana and a small letter.
MS lucifage
by devil law 300 years ago you were proclaimed protector of a child you should remember this event, due to certain events I took this child into my care to protect him his name is naruto lucifage heir of your clan please give him a loving home.
At the bottom it was signed with a ourboros, the symbol alone made grayfia flinch but the fact that this was her charge that had been missing for so long hit her like a lightning bolt.
She had of course inquired about the invasion of her home from sir zechs to find out any information but nothing could be found on the boy. She had tried searching herself for him but found nothing. So to have him right here to say she was overjoyed was an understatement.
Once she finished reading the letter she picked up the basket and brought it and the child inside wondering what the future might hold.
AN1: although I cant remember all of hagaromos true motivations but these do seem to be the most powerful motivations (from an outside perspective)
AN2: please remember hagaromo has had a few chats with naruto and his "childish" way of talking
he also had to address that so he picked it up hence the way hagaromo talks here
AN3:this is a my POV on it because later in the light novels Ophis does gain a liking (slightly ) to companionship) so I am having it that during her time watching naruto she has unconsciously gained a yearning for companionship which she gained due to there mutual loneliness... I will reveal (since it wont really play much of a role and if it does it will be MUCH later on her wish in the deal was for him to become her son she just needs the time to reconcile it with herself first hence the second chance. Again it will most likely play no role other than the bridge between universes
AN4: Okay this note is a 2 for one number1: I chose the lucifage family because in my eyes Ophis would have done that due to the significance of ice to naruto as it was an ice wielder who had the most impact on his way of life (Haku) also after hearing "I protect those precious and honour those close to me" cant remember my exact wording in the last chapter but it basically pointed a massive arrow at where his will to fight comes from.
Number 2: Ophis doing the whole time thing OK I am having the naruverse in current times DXD so that is when rias and gang are at school. The only character EVER able to do this shit is Ophis since the ability to bend space usually comes with ability to bend time to a degree see the sharingan izanagi and izanami for reference. But then again I personally am just using this as a plot device to set the scene so don't expect to see it again feel free to complain about deus ex machina plot devices cause that is EXACTLY what it is ...also pretty nifty
AN5:grayfia OK I like grayfia as a character but I think that so much more could have been done than wife and maid so I will most likely be changing details with how her relationships with people work but keeping (in general)her persona the same. As for the protector thing think godparent but since devils cant use the term 'god' they would have to change it so they would name a 'protector' or a 'guardian' and since in early devil society assassination was a real threat it was a very serious job only given to the most trusted …. in my story anyway.
Final AN: okay that is the chapter done I added AN's to clear up any misconceptions with my ideas I will probably rewrite the chapter at a later date but for now my head is thumping and I need a vodka
if you have any ideas that would make a chapter better or the story feel free to mail them im always happy to see what you guys give me.
But for now that is the prolog done the story has been set up hope fully I don't fuck it up now :P
hope you all enjoy seeya
