Amazing, I actually got an update out within a few days? Is it the sign of the apocalypse?

Anyway, here we are guys. Chapter 2 is out and about. This is more or less just an opening chapter, a bit of an introduction and some insight into Naruto himself.

I may work on chapter three soon, since I'm off work for the weekend. But I'm going out for a drink tomorrow night and I have a date on Saturday...so depending on how that goes I may only have Sunday to write on, if that.

So, at the bottom of the chapter I'll be listing spirit rankings. It'll be a bit different from canon for the most part, mostly because I'm adding in some Naruto mechanics as well since this is a crossover. One of the ranking systems...there will be multiple...will come from Naruto, and maybe a bit of Typemoon as well lol.

Anyway, that's all guys feel free to get reading.

Blood chilling screams tore through the entire facility.

"Amazing!" A man cried in jubilation, the tone of his voice practically oozing awe. Of average height, grey hair and wearing a pair of trim spectacles while clad in a pristine white lab coat, he fit a near stereotypical image for a scientist. "Simply, and utterly remarkably amazing!"

Or he would have, if it weren't for the fact that his lab coat was splattered with enough ruby red blood to dye half the coat a crimson red.

His eyes hone with a reverent glee. The target of his sight? A young child, chained to the wall and roaring in utter agony.

The child's features were not decipherable. Hair matted against the child's head, weighed down by enough sweat and blood that the actual color of their hair was hidden from view. The child was entirely naked, though not much could be seen of their body due to the simple fact that;

The child's entire body was oozed in blood. Bit by bit, the crimson liquid of life gushed from his very pores.

The seeming scientist laughed giddily, "I cannot even begin to describe how amazing this is!" He guffawed madly, eyes clouding over with sickening pleasure and watching intently as a whirlwind of ebony black power roared throughout the room, blowing, it's focal point – the child.

It wasn't that which made him gush in glee though. It was the simple fact, that bit by bit he could see the black energy gaining an orange tint.

"To think, he isn't merely accepting Solomon's power and adapting!" The scientist roared through his laughter, "He's actually dominating it!" He continued to laugh even as the power lashed out at him, slicing neat cuts along every part of his exposed skin.

"No other subject even lasted a minute after being exposed to Solomon's energy!" He continued, uncaring of the wounds he received as he peered at the screaming child religiously. "Yet this boy! He's been at this for nearly fifteen minutes! How can this be!? Does he have some form of healing ability?"

….."No."

The reply came from behind the scientist. A deep, monotone rumble that had the scientist whirling around in shock at the voice.

"Master?" He questioned.

Behind him, stood a towering giant of a man. The man had a body practically made of muscles, his tight black leather one piece rippling in place with but a tiny breath from the force of his monstrous muscles straining against the fabric. He as was said a towering giant of a man, easily standing over seven feet tall and had a tanned, powerful face covered with a thick black beard and ragged long black hair.

The master continued on, barely deigning to give the scientist a second glance. "No, the boy has no ability to heal." He continued, voice rumbling loudly with a rough timber even above the echoing screams, "Look at his eyes….that is no special power, this boy with just pure willpower...refuses to die."

The scientist actually gasped in shock when he heard the obvious tone of respect in his masters voice, but he followed his masters instructions and what he found in those eyes would give him nightmares for years to come.

Despite his body seemingly being torn a part from the inside out as Solomon's divine energy tore through his body creating divine energy pathways, the child with shining blue eyes - the only part of him not covered in crimson blood glared at them with a murderous, animalistic rage.

The next statement from his master actually caused the scientist to physically stagger in utter bewildered shock, "With willpower like that...this boy may actually be able to surpass Solomon himself."

The boy for his part, ignored their entire conversation...even their existences entirely. Instead, he continued to roar out his agony and defiance to the world.

"I REFUSE TO DIE HERE!"

The energy around him stalled for a moment. Then it erupted a second later n a wave of black and orange power, ripping everything it touched apart as its new master released his conquered power for the very first time.

….The scientist would not survive the release...the master though, he was another story entirely.

A pressurized cannon of water tore through his previous position. The multiple trees in that direction were rent asunder from the highly powerful water spell.

Naruto barked a laugh, landing on the side of a tree. Casually he defied the laws of physics as he stood vertically on the grizzled bark that was the tree's surface, "That was pretty good." He commented, a grin tugging at his lips, "But that power means jack if you can't even hit me with it."

The tree he was standing on was once part a a dense foliage of trees, but now it was but a massive clearing filled with dozens of fallen or destroyed trees, gouges ripped into the grassy flooring and thick craters littering the area.

An agitated hiss alerted Naruto to his opponents anger at the mocking jab. Luminous yellow eyes narrowed in anger, and a body over ten feet in length made up of crystal clear blue water coiled slightly as it shot upwards towards him at a rapid rate, fangs made up of solidified water gleaming in the sunlight.

Naruto merely waited until the last second, then rocketed upwards and over the striking water serpent, giving it a slight kick in the face as he did so and landed in its previous position.

Just because he could.

...Granted, a light kick from him would cave a normal humans skull in without problem. The blonde teen gave the water serpent some kudos, the kick barely even fazed it as it swung and coiled around the tree he previously stood on. Swinging its head around as it coiled, the sea serpent unleashed another highly pressurized cannon of water straight at him.

This time, Naruto didn't bother dodging. "Reflect, Mirror Wall!" He commanded casually, swinging his arm up to meet the water attack.

This cannon of water, it wasn't unlike a water jet cutter. It was pressurized to the point where it could tear through steel with ease, yet Naruto didn't even bat an eye as a shield formed on his wrist. It was tiny in comparison to the normal shield, hardly useful for fool on melee combat, and a crimson red in color, but at its front a small shining mirror reflected the rays of the sun proudly.

It wasn't even a contest.

The cannon of water tore into the mirror-like shield and was rebounded entirely, sent straight back to its owner at twice the speed it was originally fired at.

The snake didn't bother dodging, instead it merely absorbed the water back into its body without even a grunt and hissed all the louder at Naruto in agitation.

Naruto laughed at it again, pure amusement coloring his voice, "C'mon Levia, after all the time I spent researching and tracking you down this can't be all you have to show me!" He shouted.

The hissing halted, the snake cocking its head to the side for a moment. Then, those luminous yellow eyes glowing with power and Levia smashed its watery tail against the ground, despite the distance between it and the ground while it was coiled around the tree.

The ground shook. Naruto's eyes widened and his grin broadened.

From the ground, multiple geysers of water shot forth into the sky. Naruto saw rocks, trees and more shredded apart with ease, keying him into the fact that these geysers were the exact same as the water cannon Levia had been shooting at him before.

Amazing, Naruto had to admit.

"Good, this is what I'm talking about!" He declared though, even as he side stepped a geyser that erupted from beneath his feet.

He side stepped another two before whistling at the impressive spectacle he saw as he looked up. Each geyser met and combined in the sky, forming a massive lance of condensed water. "Nice, nice keep it up!" The blonde encouraged.

He rose his arm to the sky, dismissing Mirror Wall as he did so. Palm outstretched, he pointed it towards the massive lance of water, "Divine energy of the storm, become one with I and together we shall smite our foes!" The blonde chanted.

Yellow electricity sparked around his arm. The lance was launched.

"Shining Ray!" Naruto roared. Two golden earring studs formed on his ear lobes, and then….a massive beam of bright yellow electrical energy erupted from his palm, crashing into the massive water lance in the blink of an eye and tearing straight through it with ease.

The beam exploded in the sky, painting the clear blue sky a shining yellow for a moment before it dissipated alongside his earrings.

Blinking the spots from his eyes from the incredibly bright flash that lit up the sky, Naruto had to withhold another impressed whistle.

Above, and all around him throughout the clearing hundreds, maybe thousands of water needles had formed floating mid-air. The molecules that were tore apart by his lightning spirit's attack had been instantly reformed into another avenue of attack even as their previous form was destroyed.

Barely a second had passed.

"Impressive control." Naruto nodded, closing his eyes and crossing his arms while he nodded in a sage like manner. He didn't even bother opening his eyes as the needles launched through the air towards him at a blistering speed. "It's not enough though." He added casually.

Just as he was about to be turned into a pin cushion, the ground below him erupted. In the blink of an eye, a sphere of earth formed around him completely blocking the water needles with ease, not even being scratched in the process before receding just as quickly.

"Good boy Argos." The blonde said, patting one of the pieces of earth as it retreated back down into the ground.

Blue eyes snapped open, meeting luminous yellow as Levia reared back its head and then shot it forward, launching a rapid barrage of dozens upon dozens of tiny water bullets.

They were fast, incredibly so. Power to, Naruto guessed if the sounds of cratering trees and rock alike behind him were any indication.

Naruto found himself actually being pressed to dodge as he attempted to wave between the water bullets. "Tch!" Naruto cursed slightly as a gash split open his cheek, feeling warm blood ooze down his face, "Spirit of the predator, grant unto me the swift gait of a true predator…...Wolf Fang!" The blonde managed to chant as he continued to duck, dodge and weave.

In an instant, the tide changed. Black and orange light pooled around his legs, and then he was moving so fast between the bullets of water it looked like there were easily a dozen copies of him.

Clad upon his feet, were a pair of greaves. They were a midnight ebony black in color, and pulsing with orange vein trims.

Naruto smirked as the barrage came to a close, stopping on the spot and even giving a fake yawn just to taunt the spirit hissing louder and louder at him all the more.

Levia, spitting mad launched itself from the tree it was coiled around. The water serpents fangs grew to a monstrous size, each fang easily rivaling Naruto in height.

The spirit was fast no doubt about it, a boon granted from being a snake seirei. But between it and Naruto? There was no contest.

He was without a doubt, the fastest assassin from the instructional school

A gauntlet clad fist ploughed through Levia's fangs in the blink of an eye. Decorated in the same colors of Naruto's gauntlets, it ploughed through Levia's fangs as if they were weak glass.

Hissing loudly in agony, Levia was sent soaring backwards. Even with a body made entire of water, the force behind the punch was enough that Levia tore through six trees before landing limply in a newly formed, smaller clearing that came into existence just from that punch alone.

Naruto shook his head in slight disappointment, "The problem with you using physical attacks like that, is that you need a physical medium for it and that leaves you open to taking physical attacks yourself."

Smirking once again, Naruto gave the gauntlets now covering his fists and lower arms a brief nod of thanks, "Good job Barguest, it didn't even take a second for us to fully deploy your Waffe Form that time." He praised.

There was a loud growl of annoyance….coming from his feet? At the same time a rumble of contentment echoed from his gauntlets.

The blonde laughed, "You too Wolf Fang, you did great as well." He added quickly, breathing a tiny sigh of relief when the growling calmed down a second later.

His spirits were a bit clingy. They could get quite jealous of each other when he paid one more attention than the others.

With a brief mental command, he forced both spirits Waffe Form's to dissipate and return to the Will Chamber.

Because of his unique circumstances, his spirits did not return to Astral Zero to heal, rest or so on. Instead, they returned to the world that existed within him, a world that had a population potential of 72 seirei.

...At the moment at least.

Well, seirei and whatever items he wanted. It was such a handy little ability for toting around his crap, he never had to physically carry anything at all.

Granted, it took a bit of divine energy to store or retrieve something and the bigger or heavier it was the more it took, but the pros still far outweighed the cons in this scenario.

"Hmm?" Naruto cocked his head, returning from his thoughts as he felt a surge of divine energy erupt from Levia and heard the sound of running water.

This time, Naruto whistled very loudly. Towering over the trees over the forest, which were a good fifty feet in height was a massive wave of water with Levia riding at the very forefront of the wave.

A massive wave he might add that was roaring towards him with all intention of crushing him beneath the water and drowning him.

"Sweet, I didn't think you had this much power in you Levia." Naruto shouted up to the sea serpent, another foxy grin overtaking his face.

Then he began to back pedal.

Rapidly jumping up and backwards, Naruto leapt from tree to tree and all the while he chanted. He chanted the summon aria for his strongest spirit.

"Solemn queen of steel, sacred destroyer of demons, now form a blade and become my sword!" He declared.

Back flipping out of the final tree of the forest and landing in front of a small lake, Naruto was suddenly holding a pristine blade of unrivalled beauty.

It was a sword that was prayed to for salvation. A sword that slew the most monstrous of all demons. A sword thousands had given their lives just for the chance to wield.

And she was all his.

That was why, Naruto didn't even feel an ounce of fear as the wave crushed the forest beneath it and was but seconds form devouring him whole.

Despite his background as an assassin. Despite dominating the power of Solomon and making it his own, and despite having the power to contract with 72 seirei, Naruto didn't have one spirit in his possession from his time in the instruction school that could overpower that wave of crushing water.

But that was okay, because he had found her after he left. And she had been with him for three years now, his strongest and definitely most adorable spirit.

Terminus Est.

He held the blade out to his side. He felt Est's power as his flowed into her form and hers into him, their power amplifying each others. An all consuming coat of black and orange divine energy coated Est's blade, hiding its form from view.

Naruto always felt a slight pang of regret at such a fact. That his monstrous energy would cover her beautiful form from sight...But Est, she liked it and he could never deny the adorable little sword spirit anything she liked.

The wave was but a few feet from, mere seconds from dragging him beneath its depths and drowning him.

The sclera of his eyes turned black and his sapphire blue eyes flashed a deadly orange. Then, he swung and the wave was obliterated.

"Howling Fang!" He roared.

A massive wave of black and orange energy erupted from Est's blade. Like a colossal scythe of pure power and it tore the wave asunder in the blink of an eye.

First the wave, then easily a hundred feet of forest were were rent apart and destroyed utterly leaving a rough barren ground with shrivelled and dying grass.

Naruto panted deeply, his smirk returning and full of satisfaction. "Great job, as always Est." He commented.

There was a brilliant silver flash and the beautiful sword in his hand was no more. Appearing at his side, was a rather young girl of around twelve years and of exceptional beauty. With long silver-white hair, clear milky white skin and deep violet eyes.

She was wearing a short, pristine white sun dress that reached to the tips of her thighs, black thigh high socks and a pair of white shoes.

The young girl buried her face in Naruto's side, "I am your sword after all master." She mumbled into his bare skin, having removed his shirt before he battled Levia.

No point in getting his clothes soaked if he could avoid it after all.

The blonde ignored his state of semi-undress, not even glancing at the red tribal tattoo's that he knew coated the upper part of his chest and arms. Instead, he patted the girl hugging him gently on head and slowly peeled her off.

Est looked up at him, an annoyed pout on her face, "Master should praise me more." She told him, slightly petulantly and her pout deepening a tad.

Naruto laughed, "I'll praise you as much as you want in a bit, and I'll even let you buy whatever you want to eat tonight in celebration." He replied to her, not even bothering by the bout of possessive petulance…..She was just too cute to be bothered at all by it, "First though we need to take care of what we came here for." He continued, cocking his head towards the massive withered area that was once a forest.

There, collapsed entirely on its side and unable to move beside twitching here and there was Levia. Completely and utterly defeated.

Est sighed, "Very well master, but I'll be spending a lot of your money tonight." She replied, turning her small nose up a bit, "A lady doesn't like to be stood up after all, and especially not for an annoying puddle worm." Then she was gone, fading from the real world.

Naruto felt her presence returning to the Will Chamber and couldn't help but snort slightly. Est was, without a doubt his most possessive spirit, despite being the spirit he'd held the shortest amount of time.

...Not that Naruto minded at all. It was returned ten fold in a way. Last time some guy gaped at her cuteness and practically drooled over the adorable little spirit, Naruto had whipped out Shining Ray and tried to atomize the prick.

Shaking his head, Naruto made his way over to Levia not all that bothered that he was just dressed in a pair of orange swimming shorts. He snorted once again in amusement as he casually weaved to the side, avoiding Levia as the water serpents head snapped up and tried to take a surprise bite out of him.

He slapped it back down with that back of his hand casually, then narrowed his eyes when blue met luminous yellow for probably the umpteenth time. "Oi, none of that now." He said, "I won our little fight, so I expect you to adhere to the terms of our agreement, if you don't I'll just kick your ass you better believe it!"

With a huff, Levia rolled its eyes and allowed its head to drop to the ground. Naruto smiled, "Good man!"

He'd spent months in the effort of getting Levia to join him. Researching the spirit, tracking it down, getting it know it and even earning its respect in battle before attempting to form a contract.

He and Levia were friends, believe it or not despite the genuine fact that Levia was trying to kill him in that fight.

Naruto understood testing him though. There was a reason he had so little spirits at the moment, especially when he had over fifty of them when he was training as an assassin.

When he escaped, he only took with him the spirits that he was friends with and that were loyal to him. Really, he only brought two that weren't with him when he escaped. Gladius and Falchion, two sword spirits that belonged to Kamito before he got Restia. Naruto only kept them with him because he had no other sword spirits, the minute he got Est he ditched them and gave them back to Kamito.

Call it the cynical assassin in him. But he couldn't trust his life to spirits that weren't loyal in any shape or form to him. They could turn on him at any moment.

He didn't care about a spirit's power to be honest. All spirits had the potential for great power. Considering all the spirits he held beside Est were bred by the Institute, and were thus very young and weak when he came into possession of them that was all the proof he needed.

Levia was actually the first spirit he'd decided to contract since he got Est. Levia would make number ten.

Naruto lifted his hand, power drifting lazily from his palm as he pointed it towards Levia. "Oh striking serpent of water, form a contract with me and recognize me as thy master!" He chanted.

Levia rose up, towering above Naruto easily meeting his orange and black eyes with its own glowing yellow ones. Power howled throughout the area, a tornado made up of Levia's water and Naruto's black and orange divine power.

"In turn, I welcome you within my abode of willpower! Thus, I command thee form a contract with me!" His voice reached a crescendo.

Then...then the tornado made up of both spirit and humans power exploded outwards, raining down in sparkles of black, blue and orange.

Levia was gone, no longer in sight. But Naruto panting harshly, held a satisfied smirk. For, within the world deep inside his soul Naruto could feel the tenth resident of the Will Chamber.

Collapsing on his back, Naruto laughed loudly. "Wooh!" He cheered to the sky, "Just a few more and I'll complete a collection of elemental resistances!"

With Levia, that made four. Five if he counted non standard elements.

Then a shadowy bird landed on his shoulder and pecked him on the head a few times as he gazed up at the sky in wonder. A letter held within its beak.

Grunting in annoyance, Naruto slapped the bird aside while grabbing the letter. He didn't even pay attention as the bird crumbled apart into little black flakes of energy and disappeared. "Stupid old witch, the hell does she want?" He growled in annoyance as he sat up and tore open the letter.#

Seconds later, his eyes widened. "Eeeeeeeeh! Ren Ashbell is what!?" He shouted loudly in shock, "Kamito is going where!?"

A beat.

Then a massive grin crossed Naruto's face and he bounced to his feet. "This is just the wacky ass adventure I've been waiting for!" He laughed in glee, bad mood already forgotten.

"Areisha Spirit Academy, here comes the maelstrom! You best bunker down or I might just tear you apart!"

With a bound, he was off. He wanted to get there before Kamito and surprise him. He hadn't seen his best friend and rival since he'd kicked his ass into gear and gave him back Falchion and Gladius.

Not to mention, "All those cute girls in short skirts!" He shouted happily.

Then he tripped and landed on his face, a harsh pain emanating from his side. "...Est, why?" He whined.

His adorable sword's voice appeared in his head, 'Master has no need of other girls when he has Est as his sword!' She said, her voice slightly huffy despite the monotone way she spoke most of the time.

Naruto nearly cried. Est was totally adorable, the most adorable little girl on the planet. Nothing could compete with her sheer, utter cuteness. But he liked big boobs as well and Est was a loli!

Spirit Rankings

EX - Primordial Tier (Requirements far beyond special requirements needed to reach this level)

S - Godly Tier (Special requirements needed to reach this level)

A - Ultimate Tier

B - High Tier

C - Medium Tier

D - Average Tier

E - Low Tier

Note: A plus sign + means that, the rank/power of the spirit is multiplied by 1.5 times, a negative is in the opposite. Each tier has three times the amount of power on average of the power those in below tiers have. Meaning, D rank is still twice as powerful as E+, has one third more power than E++ and so on for a E+++. After four plus signs are added, the rank will automatically elevate to the one above it.

Will Chamber

The Will Chamber is basically the child of Solomon's Burial Chamber. It came into existence when Naruto was young, due to him taking in Solomon's energy and conquering it. The energy tried to give him as similar abilities to Solomon as possible before he dominated it, and the result was an inner world unique to Naruto himself in the Will Chamber that has the ability to store items and works as a living area where his contracted spirits stay instead of Astral Zero.

There we go, and everything is in order. I probably missed a ton of crap, but I'm really tired and I need to get to bed for work in the morning. So, later guys, Hope you enjoyed it.
