Hey guys sorry about the long wait for the chapter but school has really been leaving a lot of work. As much as I'd like to write chapters without a care in the world I still need to prioritize, you understand right? Anyways in this chapter is the fight between Naruto and Ophis, now I hope you won't be angry with how it turns out. Also this story is almost at 1K followers :D That's insane. I honestly never expected such a result from this but I'm glad you enjoy it. Anyways onto the chapter.
-Underworld-
The Satan's were gathered discussing the information that Serafall had revealed to them. Apparently Naruto Uzumaki had allied himself with Sona Sitri, though for what specific reason, they don't know. Though Ajuka may have an idea.
"Obviously he didn't join her for power. He's out of her league in terms of power, I'd wager he did it for protection and the ability to remain in Kuoh." Says Ajuka. It wasn't hard for the green haired Satan to deduce being one of the smartest devils alive.
"If it was for protection then why didn't he go with Rias? There was two choices he could have gone with." Says Falbium who had finally arrived.
"There's no point wondering why he chose Serafall's sister. What matters now is asking ourselves how to deal with him." Says Sirzechs.
Since the day of the wedding ceremony the Glasya-Labolas Clan had been demanding justice for the murder or one of their elders which had been killed on Naruto's orders.
"Well there's a few problems with that." Says Ajuka "Even though he killed the elder he was technically attacked first. Secondly even if he is a devil it's clear he isn't allied with the underworld or he would have made himself known to everyone, not just the Phenex."
"There's more." Starts Serafall "You were the only one of us four to attend the wedding ceremony Sirzechs. You didn't mention to us that he had a triple S ranked criminal with him."
"Yes, I apologize for that. The entire fiasco with the wedding along with the sudden appearance of a member of a clan thought dead and the death of an elder made it slip my mind."
"So we're dealing with not just a Rinnegan user but also a triple S ranked criminal." Says Falbium.
It was difficult enough figuring out a way to deal with Naruto, now knowing that he's got a powerful peerage member made it that much more complicated.
"As far as we know yes. If he's got Grimmjow Jeagerjaques it's safe to assume that he's got other powerful members with him as well." Says Ajuka
"Well we know that he's allied with your sister." Falbium says to Serafall "what if we got her to talk to Uzumaki for us. Tell him we want to meet him and see if we can sort all of this out."
Serafall shakes her head negative and replies "And tell him what? The people who had your family killed want to talk to you?"
Sirzechs sighed "You know we didn't want it to happen. The underworld was getting worried that they were becoming too powerful and feared another Rinnegan user would appear. The entire underworld sans the Phenex clan were for their destruction. If we hadn't done it they would have rebelled and done it anyway and another civil war against us would have broken out."
"And look how well that turned out. One managed to survive and it just so happened to be the Rinnegan wielder. There's no doubt in my mind he'll want retribution for what happened." Says Falbium
"Should we classify him as a stray devil?" Asks Serafall
"No, before we do anything rash I want to try and settle this affair peacefully. The meeting of the three factions is coming up, I propose we invite him to attend and hopefully we can reach an understanding." Says Sirzechs "He's less likely to attack if other faction leaders are there as well."
"I guess that could work." Says Ajuka rubbing his chin "Serafall, inform your sister to relay the message to Uzumaki."
She nods her head and disappears in her family's magic circle.
"I should be getting back to work as well." Says Falbium as he heads out the door. Only Sirzechs and Ajuka remained. Noticing the look on the crimson haired Satan's face Ajuka spoke.
"You're nervous." He states
"I am. This meeting was already stressful enough with the Kokabiel incident making it worse. But now we have another factor in the mix. Hopefully Uzumaki can be reasoned with. Though I don't expect it to be that simple." Says Sirzechs
-Dimensional Gap-
Ophis dashed at him and in a blink of an eye she was in front of him with her palm open facing him. Black energy quickly built up in her hand before it was shot at him.
"For a little girl she moves damn fast." He thought as he turned his body to the right to avoid being hit. From his position he extends his hand and says "Shinra Tensei"
She's blown back by the technique but fixes herself in midair before landing on whatever they were seemingly standing on.
She once again raises her hand though this time a magic circle appeared with the ouroboros symbol which consisted of two snakes eating themselves forming the infinity symbol.
Black energy once again formed and shot at him.
"Shinra Tensei" he says as the shot was destroyed, as it vanished a second one was right behind it, forcing him to jump to his left to avoid being hit. The moment he landed he felt pain in his back and was sent flying. Ophis had teleported behind him in an instant and used her immense strength to kick him away.
On the ground Naruto got to his feet. "Damn, she may look like a little girl but she doesn't have the power of one" that attack had hurt like hell.
"I've noticed a flaw in your ability Uzumaki. You can't repel attacks immediately one after another. There's a specific amount of time you have to wait before you can do it again." She says in her monotone voice. She points her hands downwards and two magic circles appear on the ground.
Out of those came two giant snakes. Both snakes at least the size of a redwood tree. Immediately the snakes lock onto him and strike. He jumps out of the way and sees the giant crater that they left in the spot he had just been.
"How can there even be a crater? We're literally in nothing. Oh well, I'll think about it later.
Not in the mood to deal with the snakes he comes up with a plan. The snakes open their jaws and build up black energy like the type Ophis uses and shot at him.
Once again using Shinra Tensei he deflected the blast away from him before having to jump high in the air to avoid being crushed. While in the air he swings his hands and shoots six rods, three at each and is pleased when all six hit their mark.
The serpents stop moving as he pushes his chakra through them. They're incapacitated for the moment. Turning his attention back to Ophis he dashes towards her.
As he approaches her he says "Bansho Ten'in" and pulls her towards him. Following that up he uses his Ashura Path to allow his arm to become mechanical. Opening his arm at the forearm he reveals multiple missiles and shoots them at her at point blank range once she's near.
There's a giant explosion from the attack and Naruto jumps back and waits for the smoke to clear. Once it does it reveals Ophis with some dirt on her outfit but other than that, completely unharmed.
She once again shoots black energy blasts at him which he dodges rather than repel. As he's moving she speaks up. "It's pointless Uzumaki, while it's impressive you have lasted this long your power isn't near as strong as my own." She says
Naruto continued to dodge her attack not wanting to be destroyed by whatever power she uses. "Damn, it's because we're in the dimensional gap. I can't use any of my other techniques here besides Rinbo." He thinks to himself. As he's dodging he sees the snakes are still there and remembers how they had attacked him. He grins, he finally had an idea that would work.
Using his Shinra Tensei once more he deflects a shot and uses his Ashura Path. Instead of missiles this time, he charges up a white beam from his palm and shoots it at her. She doesn't even attempt to move knowing that it won't do much to her and allows it to hit her head on.
She looks forward unable to see anything due to the smoke, though that doesn't last long. As soon as the smoke cleared she didn't have time to dodge two black blasts of energy coming right toward her. She was sent back and hit the floor hard.
Naruto watches as she stands up and notices that she's bleeding from the mouth and her upper half of her body was burned. He notices he look over at her snakes which were facing her. Answering her unasked question he says
"Those rods weren't just to stop them, they can also be controlled by me now. My powers may not do damage to you, but yours can hurt you just fine." He finishes smirking
Not surprisingly she shot black blasts at the snakes which he had move out of the way. Seeing this Naruto realized something.
"I've noticed a flaw in you Ophis." He says using the same words she had used on him "Apart from your black blasts you don't have anything else. You're only ranked the number one being in the universe due to your durable body and your raw physical strength from being a dragon. Though you aren't durable against your own attacks." He says as he has the snakes charge up their attacks once more.
They shoot the attack but it's stopped right before they reach her. He feels her power start rising to incredible heights.
"I'm done playing with you Uzumaki, you die now." She says before he watches her reveal her true form.
She now had the appearance of a giant black western style dragon with two small horns protruding from her head. She looked like a black version of great red minus the horn on her nose.
"Damn, this is bad. I was barely able to damage her in her human form. She'll be practically invincible like this." He thought. He heard her let out a loud roar before opening her jaws and creating a black sphere. It didn't take a genius to figure out what that was.
She shot the attack directly at him and he was forced to use a super powered Shinra Tensei to deflect it. Though he had to jump away immediately to avoid being crushed by her giant clawed hand.
"What is going on in my domain" Says a voice from behind Naruto. He turns back and sees the Great Red in all its glory. He's a massive red Western Dragon with a horn on its snout and has two sets of wings. His overall length measures around 100 meters.
Before Naruto could answer he sensed another attack coming and saw another black ball heading his way. Thinking fast he said "Amenotejikara" quietly and switched places with Great Red allowing him to take the attack knowing he could handle that.
As expected Great Red takes the hit, but Naruto was still hit with some of the attack that managed to go through the dragons arms. It wasn't enough to kill him but it was enough to send him to the ground and have him cough up some blood. Standing up he notices his shirt has been burned off and his right arm was burned a bit as well. Nothing too major though.
He hears another roar and sees Great Red shoot a fireball at Ophis. "Good they're fighting each other for now" he thinks. Though he's not safe yet as he's still close to both of them. He sees Ophis dodge the attack before flying and heading towards them, he sees Great Red fix his body and can tell he's going to try and swing his tail at her, which will in turn get him too.
"Fuck, this is bad. Wait, what's that?" In the air near the battle he sees the dimensional gap open and someone walk in. He's a young man with long blonde hair, his hair done in a braid to his left and is wearing a business suit.
"This is my chance."
As the two dragons get closer to hitting each other Naruto waits for the perfect moment. Now.
"Rinbo Hengoku!" He shouts and both dragons are hit hard enough to move them a few feet back. Knowing that they'll recover quickly he switches places with the young man and leaps through the portal and escapes.
He finds himself in some house but doesn't linger about and uses his magical circle to teleport home. He arrives in the common room where his peerage seem to spend a lot of their time when they're not out on jobs. His peerage is greeted to the sight of a shirtless Naruto panting. It seems he was finally feeling the effects of the two Amenotejikara, Rinbo Hengoku, and the few Shinra Tensei including the more powerful one.
"Naruto, what happened?" Asks Doni standing up and getting close to him to inspect his leader.
"I had a little run in with a dragon god who doesn't know how to take no for an answer." He replies.
"What?! You got to fight Ophis? I'd kill for that" Says Grimmjow upset he didn't get to fight her. No doubt it would be the fight of his life. "Oh and I got what you wanted." He says as he points to a corner of the room where the dead body of Kokabiel was in a bag.
"Really Grimmjow? You left it inside the house." He says shaking his head. He should have expected this though. Before he went to check the body however he sent out a pulse of power notifying Kabuto that his presence was required. He waited about four seconds before the man appeared.
"Yes Naruto-sama what do you need of me? I was actually in the middle of working on a new medicine." He says. He appeared from Naruto's left side so he couldn't fully see Naruto. Once the blonde turned around Kabuto knew exactly what he needed to do.
Naruto lifts his right arm until its horizontal and watches as Kabuto's hand glows green and his arm begins to heal.
"Thanks Kabuto." He says as he rotates his arm a bit. "What kind of medicine are you working on anyways?"
"I'm trying to see if I can create something similar to Phenex tears, though this will mostly heal light based injuries caused by angels and fallen angels." He says, some of the others had their eyes widened a bit. If he could do it, it would be huge for them.
"I see, then I won't keep you here any longer. Thanks for your help, feel free to return to your work." Naruto says
"If that's all. Good day everyone." He says before leaving once again. Looks like he made a good call with this one.
Naruto walks over to the bag which contains Kokabiel's body and opens it. He notices that the body is mostly intact. Besides the hole in the fallen angels' neck the wings seemed to be fine and the body was good too. Looking over at Grimmjow he asks.
"Now that I think about it, before I had to go fight with Ophis I figured you were taking a bit long. What held you up?"
"Towards the end of the fight some guy in blue dragon armor showed up and wanted to finish Kokabiel off himself. He said he worked for Azazel and that he had to deliver something. I told him to beat it or he was next. He agreed to let me finish the fight as long as I fight him in the near future. That's not a problem right?" He asks grinning, no doubt he wants to fight whoever it was.
"So long as you don't kill him fight him whenever you want. He's one of Azazel's, we don't want to have the Fallen Angel's coming for us too." He says. Going back to the body he starts piercing it with smaller chakra rods in different areas. Once he was finished he put it back in the bag and carried it over his shoulder.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow, I'm tired and I need sleep." He says and heads to his room. Opening his closet he opens a large tube that he had prepared for such an occasion. Placing Kokabiel inside he closes it and lays down and drifts off to sleep. He knows he'll have to deal with Ophis soon though, that dragon is a persistent one.
-The Next Day-
Class was boring. Everybody knew that, after everything he went through yesterday he's surprised he even bothered showing up. As if that wasn't enough, during his first class of the day he had to sit, knowing that one of the Satan's was no more than ten feet from him. Today parents and guardians were allowed to come to the school to see their kids and what not.
He could feel the Leviathans eyes on him every so often. She would go back and forth between looking at him and gushing over her 'So-tan' which he'd have to remember for later. Once the class had ended, everyone would have sworn that they saw him teleport out of the room.
The rest of the day was uneventful. Once classes were done and all of the parents had gone home he headed to the student council room. Sona said she'd like to go out again so why wait?
He arrived at her room and knocked until he heard 'enter' and walked in. No surprise, there she was signing papers and reading over some documents. All in all she looked a bit stressed, no doubt that being around her sister must have exhausted her.
"Naruto-kun what are you doing here?" She asks while signing another paper.
"Not much, I didn't feel like going home so I decided to come and see if you wanted to go out and do something." He says. He sees her look down at her papers and knows that she's going to say something about school so he speaks before she can retort.
"You look like you're stressed, whether it's devil business that's got you like this or something else it's clear that you need a break. So what do you say?" He asks mustering up his most charming look.
She sighs before allowing the corners of her mouth to form a slight smile. "Fine, but at least let me change. I have some spare clothes here, I would suggest you do the same." She says
He looks down and sees he's still in his uniform. "You're right, I'll be back in a flash." He says before disappearing in his magic circle.
In ten minutes Naruto returned and now wore a plain black short sleeve button up, black jeans, and some convers with orange laces. He saw that Sona now wore a sleeveless white sports shirt and a black skirt. (Her outfit when she played tennis against rias only with a black skirt.)
"You look great." He says as he admires her look.
"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself. So where are we going?"
"Well I was thinking that we could go to Tokyo Disneyland for a bit and after that we could go get something to eat, and we'll figure out the rest from there." He says. She nods, well, it seemed he was prepared, that was something she liked.
They disappeared in a magical circle and reappeared in an alley as to not be seen. They walked up to the ticket vendor near the entrance and Naruto bought them the tickets and they went inside.
They walked around and took pictures in different areas of the park. He even managed to talk her into going on a rollercoaster. Who knew she was of them? You'd think as a devil she wouldn't be scared of much but he wouldn't judge.
They watched some of the shows that were playing that day as well. All in all Sona was having a good time. Her days usually consist of running the school, dealing with devil affairs, and recently the Kokabiel fiasco. It was nice to have some time to not worry about anything and enjoy herself.
"Sona-chan, tell me. Do you have any goals in life?" Naruto asks wanting to know a bit more about her.
She wasn't expecting this question but still gives an answer. "I wish to start a rating game school. Why do you ask?"
"Don't they already have one of those? I ask because I want to know more about you."
"They do, but it's only available to the high class devils. Not even our peerage members are allowed to use it. I want everyone to be able to attend and learn about the games." She says
He can see how that would be a good idea, if everyone was more informed on them then they would stand a better chance when they finally participated in one. Naruto was about to speak when a loud grumbling sound caught his attention.
He looked at Sona and saw that she was looking down trying to hide her reddening face.
"You hungry?" He asks trying to stop himself from smiling at her embarrassment. She just looks away.
"Come on let's go get something to eat. Outside the park of course these prices are outrageous." He says. She agreed, they were charging damn near 500 yen for a bottle of water. Imagine for actual food.
They left the park and headed to a place called Narisawa. The price was decent and they had good food. Luckily for Naruto they had ramen so naturally that's what he ordered, while Sona went with some Yakitori.
They ate and every so often they would ask each other questions. Simple one's like what they like, dislike, dreams, stuff like that. Once they had finished the dinner they simply sat there for a little allowing the food to digest. As they did Sona asked one of the things that's been on her mind.
"Naruto-kun" She says getting his attention. "I'm wondering. Why have you asked me out?"
He raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean? I asked you out because I think you're a cool person to be around and I think you're gorgeous. Isn't that how this works?" He says.
"What I'm asking is exactly what you like? I don't have the body of Rias and Akeno, and as much as I hate to admit it, Rias is stronger than me. You're strong so I don't see what you see in me." She says in a quieter voice so to not be heard by the people around them.
"Sona-chan seems to have some self-confidence issues. One wouldn't know it just by looking at her due to how she carries herself. This is most likely from being compared to her sister by other devils. And no matter how you look at it she's still a girl and is insecure about her body especially with all the big boobed girls at our school."
"What I like is that you're smart and you have a cute face. Your body is perfect the way it is." He says seriously. She stares at him trying to detect any form of indicator of him lying. She can't find any.
"Thank you." She has to admit it feels good to have someone like her for her intelligence and find her attractive.
"Now what do you say we head back now?" He says in a happier tone. She agrees and they exit the restaurant and head to an alley to teleport.
They arrive back in the Student Council Room and Naruto spoke up. "Well I had a good time, but I have to get going now." He says
"Yeah so did I." She replies looking at him. As she sees him get ready to leave she walks forward and gives him a hug. Her arms wrapped around his midsection.
Instinctively he reciprocates and he hears her speak. "Thanks for date, we should do it again some time."
He was kind of shocked, she proposed that they go out again rather than him. That's a plus in his books.
"Yeah that sounds good, oh and about you being weaker than Rias, I could help you get stronger if you'd like." He says.
"That would kind of you. I'll inform you when works for me." She says
He smiles and nods before leaving via magic circle.
She sits at her desk and smiles to herself. It had been a while since she felt relaxed, though that didn't last long as someone appeared in the room.
"Onee-sama?" Sona asks
"I need you to do a favor for me So-tan." She says.
This puzzled Sona as her sister had never asked her for a favor. What could be so difficult for a Satan that she couldn't do it herself?
"What do you need?" She replies pushing up her glasses.
"I need you to invite Naruto Uzumaki to the meeting of the three factions"
I think I'll end it there. Sorry for the long wait but I've had a lot of work to do over the past few weeks. For those of you who attend college you probably have an understanding of how much work one has to do to stay on top of things. Anyway either the next chapter or the following will include the meeting of the three factions plus Naruto. During that time I will include some flashback chapters detailing Naruto's younger life, so how he became friends with Riser, his family, and how he attained his first two peerage members. So please look forward to that. As always if you have suggestions leave them in a PM or a review. Later.
