I am back with another chapter of my Naruto Dxd crossover. I hope you like it.
So Enjoy!
Chapter: - 2
Vatican City, is the smallest country in the world with only an area of 44 hectares and with a population of meagre 842. This Holy City is ruled by the Bishop of Rome, who is also known as the Pope to the public and the believers in Biblical God. All this is common knowledge and anybody can find it on the internet, but what everybody doesn't know is that, it is the main base for the Holy or Celestial Beings, commonly known as Angels, so it is right to say that any devil or fallen angel who steps in these holy grounds are as good as dead.
However all these threats on life didn't matter to someone who had seen far worse in his life, and has survived and flourished in even harsher environments. These kind of people were very less in the 3 factions and Naruto Phenex was one amongst them. In Fact he was the best amongst them.
At present Naruto was deep underground in the Sistine Chapel, these were one of the many bases from where he operated and provided safe haven to his peerage. Since who would think that they would find their enemies in their home turf right below their nose. Anyways it would be unbelievable that someone had a secret base right under the Pope's residence which is the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City.
Naruto was only wearing an ANBU black pant with arm guards and was destroying dummies with his taijutsu katas and was not using any chakra to power his punches and kicks. If anyone would have seen him then they would have seen his hands blur when he punched each dummies with such precision that even an archer might feel jealous. He defined the definition calm when he did his daily workout but today he was anything but calm.
Memories of his past still haunted him.
'You are my living legacy.' Naruto used chakra this time and he moved so fast that he was a blur and all the dummies broke apart behind him.
He was finally done with his taijutsu training but then he donned a very somber face instead of being happy for achieving his goal. He could still remember his brother's sacrifice, his last words.
'You are my living legacy.'
Flashback
Madara and Kaguya were finally defeated after a battle which lasted 3 days but this battle which he was fighting right now was the toughest one, because now at this moment he was fighting his brother in everything but blood. He knew that it was their destiny to fight to death since they were the descendants of Hagoromo's 2 sons, Indra and Ashura.
They were supposed to fight each other to death just like Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara.
Today on the day of his Birthday, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were also going to fight each other till only one man was standing.
He wanted to change this destiny so much, but Naruto knew that this fight was unavoidable. He was no longer the same naïve boy who thought that he could end the war all alone and that he would be able to change everybody's mind. Sasuke was now beyond any kind of help, he had captured all the nine Bijuu's by using Chibaku Tensei (Planetary Devastation)and had enslaved them in massive moon like rocks.
He now knew better than anyone that there was no reformation for his brother and that it was his responsibility to see to it that the bijuu's got their freedom and that the elemental nations achieved peace which was based on love and understanding instead of force and hate.
"We are finally at the Valley of End, where we fought last time and I was the victor." Stated Sasuke without demonstrating any kind of emotions.
"We don't have to do this Sasuke, we can talk this out." Naruto insisted with clear desperation in his being but even he knew that they were way past talking.
"There is nothing to talk about, we will settle it with our fists."
Naruto gritted his teeth "Then have it your way."
With that they charged at each other, to settle things for once and for all.
Flashback End
Naruto was now doing salmon's ladder in his base this was the last part of his today's workout, and was one of the toughest exercise in the world for humans, but he wasn't thinking about his training or all the sweat which was present in his body due to his intense workout.
The only thing which he could think about was his 13 year old battle with Sasuke and its dire cosequences.
'You are my living legacy.'
Naruto was now gritting his teeth and he fell down from the rod and gave an animalistic growl/scream to the heavens.
'Why Sasuke?! Whyyyyyyyy?' these were the only thoughts which disturbed his mind right now.
Flashback
They have been fighting each other since last 6 hours and they were at their end of the duel, both Naruto and Sasuke had used everything in their repertoire including Full body Susanoo (Tempestuous God of Valor) and Nine tail Kyuubi Mode but they were equal in all terms.
"Why wouldn't you just go down Naruto?" Screamed Sasuke with desperation and anger visible as day in his voice.
Sasuke was in a terrible state, his white shirt was completely damaged and he was punctured in his left shoulder by highly pressurized water from one of Naruto's Jutsu, which he was sure that he got it as a gift from Nidaime Hokage before he passed on from his Edo Tensei form (Impure World Resurrection). He also sported some chakra burns from his opponents pure chakra based attacks.
"I can't go down, not after reaching this far. We are now so close to peace, I can see it." Naruto gave a grin with so much confidence that it could have moved mountains. Although even he wasn't faring any better, his orange jacket was ruined and he also had a puncture through his left shoulder from one of Sasuke's Chidori (One Thousand Birds) and also sported 2nd degree burns from Sasuke's various Fire Jutsus.
"This is the end Naruto!" Sasuke bellowed with uncontrollable rage and started to concentrate on creating an Enton: Kagutsuchi (Inferno Style: Flame Control) in his hands.
Naruto saw black fire coalescing around Sasuke's right hand and it was generating an incredible amount of heat. A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead.
'Kurama! Are you ready?' Naruto asked his lifelong friend.
'Damn right I am! Go for it kit.' Kurama retorted back with a massive grin.
Naruto returned his enthusiasm by creating a Rasenshuriken in his left hand and he made his attack bigger and deadlier by mixing it with Kurama's chakra.
"Sasuke!"
"Naruto!"
They charged at each other with their massive attacks and the whole world was blinded by bright light when these 2 titans collided for their final and the last time.
Naruto had been rendered unconscious because of the aftershocks of the last attack, but he woke up after sometime and his entire being was aching. He felt like he himself was a massive bruise and at present there was nothing in this world which could increase his pain but he was wrong about that.
The second he saw Sasuke's condition, a gasp came out of his mouth. His entire right hand and some part of his internal organs were totally annihilated by his last jutsu. He was bleeding from his mouth and severed right limb uncontrollably. In other words he was in a worse place than Naruto.
Naruto barely had any strength to run towards him and help, so instead he decided to crawl toward his brother. After a minute of tiresome work he finally reached Sasuke.
"Just hold on Sasuke, Sakura will arrive any minute and she will heal you." Naruto wheezed out.
After hearing that Sasuke stared chuckling "ha..ha ..ha…haahahhaah..come on Naruto you-and I both know….i am already a dead…..man."
Sasuke started to cough because of all the blood in his mouth "cough-cough- Anyways this is what I always wanted."
Naruto's eyebrows rose when he heard the last statement "What?"
"You- were…always like my brother Itachi…..moving ahead of me, guiding me…and never breaking our special connection….with each other…all this time Naruto I envied your strength…..your drive to do anything for….your precious person and even today was no different. Your strength…..surpassed mine. You protected me till the end. I should have been….the one guide after all I am older than you….but I will make necessary amends for you and… our precious peace, which we achieved after spilling so…. Much blood."
Naruto was crying openly now, his tears spilled on Sasuke's face. He was holding pressure on the severed limb so that it didn't bleed out.
"Just stop talking Sasuke! I beg you!" Naruto desperately demanded from his passing brother, he didn't wanted him to die.
Kurama was watching a live feed from his cage but he didn't want to interrupt his goodbye speech even though he was an Uchiha.
"From now onwards Naruto…" Sasuke brought his left hand and poked on Naruto's head and said
"You are my living legacy." With that Sasuke took his last breath.
"Nooooooooooooo!" Naruto screamed about this injustice to heavens.
The Yin symbol of power was transferred from Sasuke to Naruto. Naruto could feel incredible amount of power within him, he could feel Sasuke's power in him, but before he could even mourn properly, the nine satellites holding the tailed beasts started shining brightly and a large wave of chakra hit him like a tsunami and he started to change and his eyes started bleeding. Naruto was in so much pain that he was rendered unconscious.
A space-time portal appeared behind Naruto and he fell in to it. He was never seen again in the Elemental Nations.
When Naruto finally woke up, he realized that he was in an entirely new dimension with no friends and with no strengths to protect his feeble 3 year old body.
Flashback End
After relieving his greatest nightmare, Naruto had some stray tears on his cheeks but after 10 years of isolation, Naruto had finally understood why Sasuke chose to give him his powers in the end.
'You wanted to keep your younger brother safe. Didn't you?' Naruto voiced himself.
He closed his eyes and whispered with a smile "Thank you for everything, Sasuke."
Then Naruto opened his eyes but instead of having his original bright blue eyes these eyes were crimson in color and had 3 tomoes circling over a central pupil.
These eyes were the legendary doujutsu known as the Sharingan (The Copy Wheel Eye).
Few Hours Earlier…..
Sirzechs was unnaturally serious for the first time in his life, and he had every reason to be serious since they were going to infiltrate the Vatican City. The main base for the soldiers of God, aka Angels.
He was sitting in a chair while all the rest of the devils including the Rias's Peerage and Phenex household matrons were sitting in a circle around the Satan King, and were staring at the map of the Vatican City.
Sirzechs pointed at the outer boundaries of the Vatican City and said "Vatican City is a fortress, with high security, but even after all the security against Devils it's not impenetrable."
Everyone were listening to him attentively.
"The first line of protection which we have to overcome is the walls which surround the entirety of the Vatican City, hence the name fortress for the Holy City."
"Our sources say that Naruto's Base is just below the Sistine Chappell." Sirzechs asserted the word Sistine Chappell.
This time everybody who knew about the Sistine Chappell raised their eyebrows which included Rias, Akeno and Asia Argento.
"This is crazy nii-san, Sistine Chappell is the residence of the Pope it's always protected by a legion of Angels, and hence it can't be breached…"
Sirzechs raised his right hand to stop his sister's rant and it had an immediate effect.
"If it was any other day then it would have been true, but the Vatican City is going under a process called Papal Conclave."
Issei was getting frustrated by the minute, he hated this tense atmosphere and he didn't even understood anything which Rias's brother was spouting.
"What is Papa Con…cave?"
Everybody Sweat dropped.
'You really need some help.' Thought Rias but then she decided to answer his question.
"Papal Conclave is the process by which a new Pope is selected, when the previous ones die or resigns from their position…."
"Ooh" that's the only thing which Issei could say since general knowledge wasn't his forte.
"According to the rules, during this time the Chappell could only be attended by Cristian cardinals, who are responsible for the selection of the new Bishop of Rome aka the Pope."
"So we will be able to get through the 2nd line of defense, but how are we going to get through the walls, which will surely be made out of condensed holy energy, and we will also be not able to use our demonic energy, since they will surely sense it." Akeno pointed the problems out with an inquisitive expression.
Grayfia gave a small smile and said "That's very perspective of you. We have already made preparations to overcome that problem."
"We have borrowed a device from Ajuka- san by which we will be able to hide your energy signature and he also has a contact inside the Vatican City, who will help you to teleport inside the Vatican City without any problems." Concluded Sirzechs with a genuine smile.
"We can't let a big group of devils to infiltrate the Holy City, the group should be highly talented and small at the same time." Lord Phenex addressed his concerns for the first time.
Sirzechs started to rub his chin and said "You are right, that is why it will only be a group of 5, which will include my sister, Akeno-san, and the Sekiryuttei then my pawn Beowulf- san and queen Grayfia- san."
"I am glad that you are being generous enough to join your peerage in this mission, I am really thankful." Lord Phenex gave a genuine smile.
Sirzechs took out some bracelets and gave it to Rias, Akeno, Iseei and Grayfia "These bracelets will conceal your energy, wear it right now."
All of them followed his instructions immediately.
"All of you should proceed to Vatican City immediately, since Papal Conclave has already started. Beowulf will join you later. Your mission is to retrieve Naruto Phenex alive by any means possible."
'This is my chance to get rid of Riser for once and for all.' Rias thought with a determined face.
All the members of the mission walked to Grayfia and a teleportation circle arrived below their feet and they disappeared from the room of Occult Research Club.
Below Sistine Chapel….
Naruto was already done with his training, now he was just sitting in the lotus position to meditate and control his vast amount of chakra and magic. His chakra was unlimited but his magic still needed a lot of work even though he had very high reserves somewhere around low level Satan king like Serafall Leviathan, it would still take some time before he would reach the level of Sirzechs Lucifer.
In the past Decade his biggest achievement was in the field of chakra, after receiving the Yin element from Sasuke, his chakra control was easily around the level of Hagoromo or even Kaguya herself.
The biggest benefit of having both the yin and yang release were the easier access to bloodlines of Elemental Nations and it also made mastering those elements faster.
His peerage was also incredibly helpful for his training without them he wouldn't have achieved so much in just a span of 10 years.
He was trying to understand magic, but he still needed some professional help in this field.
He also needed to contact his peerage as soon as he was out of Vatican City, they had just completed their missions and he also wanted to introduce his Queen to the rest of his Peerage, since she was new on the team.
While he was still pondering about his new duties, he suddenly felt someone intruding his base.
'My base has been infiltrated by some Devils.' Naruto mused but then he gave a massive shit eating grin.
"This is getting rather fun, and I also wanted to try some new techniques."
He knew that within minutes they would be here, so he wore his white long sleeved shirt with the symbol of Phenex Clan on his back. His shirt was open to show a large amount of his chiseled chest. He also wore a blue cloth over his black pant which was then tied to blue rope like belt and put his sword of Kusanagi attached to his back using the very same rope.
He also wore his black anbu style boots. In other words he donned the exact same look of his brother and he also wanted to look presentable when his guests came to greet him. Therefore there was not a way in hell he was wearing orange.
'They are already here.' Thought Naruto.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the wall in front of his training room blasted and a man in his mid-twenties with brown hair presented himself. He was little too bulky. Naruto knew that he was Beowulf from Lucifer's Peerage.
'This is going to be a lot of fun.' What can he say? He was really bored.
A Few minutes earlier…..
The group of devils had met with Beowulf who was already there in Vatican, as soon as the introductions were done, they decided to head for Sistine Chappell.
Things were going great until they entered the base of this mysterious boy known as Naruto Phenex. The base was a fucking maze, it was difficult to maintain a sense of direction. It was only because of Grayfia's amazing sensing ability that they were able to maintain their course.
It was absolutely necessary that they were out of this hellhole before an hour, because as soon as Papal Conclave was over this Chappell would be flooded by Angels.
"I found him, we have to be cautious because there is every possibility that he has already sensed us." Grayfia mentioned with a stern tone making the other's in the group flinch.
"He shouldn't be much trouble, he is the same age as Buchou-san, I am preety sure that all of us can take us." Iseei suggested with a grin.
Grayfia's eyes narrowed and she gave a scathing glare to Issei "We know nothing about him, its best to not underestimate him. Understood."
'She is Scary.' Issei nodded his head as fast as he can.
Rias and Akeno heard the conversation and couldn't help but feel pity for the poor guy, wheras Beowulf just snickered.
Grayfia was in an absolute bad mood, the reason was not Issei but it was the run-away son of the Phenex Family. She sensed his majical power and it was humongous, it possibly matched or surpassed hers.
'This is just not possible, he is just a boy he shouldn't have such scary magical power.' Grayfia now donned a big frown.
Beowulf saw Grayfia frown and he thought 'What is the big deal Grayfia? A Phenex shouldn't make you worry this much.'
"He is right behind that wall." She pointed the wall to Beowulf.
Beowulf gave a massive grin and charged his right hand with demonic energy and charged at the wall.
"Hole in the wall."
The entire wall came crashing down.
Rias, Akeno and rest of the group followed the brown haired man.
'Beowulf-san has insane strength and he is not even a rook!' Issei whimpered after watching the crazy demonstration.
As soon as Rias, Akeno and Grayfia saw the person standing in front of them they sported a massive blush.
After 10 years Naruto had become incredibly handsome, his hair was messy and had 2 bangs of hair reaching his narrow jaw but at the same time it suited him amazingly. His body was well musceled and looked as if it was made by marble, and also had well defined six pack abs. He didn't even hide those sexy abs. His bright blue eyes watched everyone with such intensity that it made Rias, Akeno and even Grayfia to be conscious of their looks.
'By all that's holy, how can there exist such a specimen of a man?' were the common thoughts of Rias and Akeno.
'I don't have the luxury for those kinds of thoughts at least not now.' With that she controlled her instincts and this clearly showed her experience as a fighter.
Issei managed to watch the small moment between the women and seethed 'He is one of those handsome boys.' and started crying anime tears.
Naruto stared at all the occupants in his training room and was not giving any kind of emotions. This in turn made everyone nervous.
Then suddenly Naruto vanished from his position and hit Beowulf so hard that he went flying backwards.
'He is so fast.' the thoughts of all the group members were the same.
Grayfia was the only one who reacted on time and sent a load of ice crystals at Naruto but it was for naught, he again vanished at incredible speed and was just a blur to Grayfia.
Beowulf had just managed to recover from that strong hit but before he could go to help Grayfia, the monstor of a Phenex appeared in front of him and he unsheathed his sword and stabbed him in the shoulder.
"Huh" Beowulf just gritted his teeth.
'I am numb….it must be a holy sword.' Beowulf thought alarmingly.
Naruto sheathed his sword in the scabbard and then looked towards other devils.
Beowulf grabbed his wound and started panting.
Grayfia was giving a scathing glare to Naruto, Rias had already coated her hands with the Power of Destruction, and Akeno started to chant a lightning spell whereas Issei was scared as shit.
'This guy is crazy strong.' Issei had a bat shit scared face on his face.
Before Rias and Akeno could get their spell ready, Naruto appeared in between them and kicked in Akeno's face and then he took a turn in the air and jammed his knees in Rias's gut. Naruto unsheathed his sword to give a final blow but he wasn't allowed that courtesy because of a giant ice spear which came at high velocity with every intention to pierce his heart.
However he caught the spear and destroyed the spear with his bare hand. Akeno was unconscious in a corner although Rias was conscious she was bleeding from her mouth and was panting/ recovering from the punishment.
"I am going to kill you, for doing this to Buchou." Issei growled.
"Boosted Gear." Issei finally activated his boosted gear.
Naruto just raised his left eyebrow and then he gave a dark aura from his eyes. 'He is annoying.' Thought Naruto.
Beowulf was still panting and was also paralyzed by the sword of Kusanagi.
'This kid is a monster in hand to hand combat.' Thought a worried Beowulf. This mission was a simple retrieval even though the target was to be retrieved from Vatican City, he never expected to get his ass kicked so soundly.
He was powerless for the next precious few minutes.
Grayfia was just watching the fight right now, and wanted to see how the Sekiryuutei performed against Naruto.
She knew that the whole battle could be avoided if the misunderstanding was cleared, but the second she read Naruto's magical power she knew that now it was necessary to ascertain the limit of his power. Since, he might very well be a threat.
Naruto stared at Issei with the same dark stare "You will kill me?" Naruto mocked. This boy was full of openings in his stance and he was going to kill him. Was he Serious?
Naruto disappeared from his position and appeared right in front of Issei and took hold of his shoulder.
'I didn't even saw him!' thought Issei.
Even though Naruto was holding Issei's shoulder, he wasn't even looking at him instead his eyes were focused on Grayfia.
"All this time you were alive on my whim, now I will take your life at my whim." Said Naruto without any emotions and he unsheathed his sword from his scabbard.
Rias eye widened when he heard her supposed future husband say that, she ran towards Issei with all her strength. 'I am not going to make it on time!' thought a scared and panicked Rias. She didn't want to lose her pawn and friend.
Issei couldn't do anything, he flinched because of the fear to die.
Naruto was about to stab Issei when suddenly Grayfia appeared on right side of Issei and took a hold of Naruto's wrist hence preventing Issei from getting stabbed.
Naruto was a little surprised to see her move that fast, she didn't seem like a speed oriented devil.
Grayfia never used that kind of speed, since it put a heavy strain on her body and she was not a knight but a queen with large magic reserves. She couldn't use her magic in such an enclosed space.
Rias thanked heavens for the timely interference of her sister in law.
"That's enough Naruto Phenex-san, we are not here to fight instead we are here to take you back home, to your parents." Informed Grayfia with a cool mind.
Naruto's eyes narrowed and he said "You should have said so sooner, then this fight could have been avoided."
"I am sorry." She said with same cool tone and released his wrist.
"Let's get out of here before the Papal Conclave ends." Grayfia commanded with a stern tone.
Beowulf had finally managed to get rid of his paralysis and then he went to fetch Akeno who was still unconscious. Rias was glaring at Naruto's back with so much hate that he would've vaporized if a glare could be lethal whereas Issei was so scared that he was sure that he will be getting nightmares about today's day for a week.
Finally, everybody grouped in front of the teleportation circle which Grayfia created and vanished from the Vatican City.
The retrieval mission of Naruto Phenex was a success.
