Hello again.
As you can see, we have a new chapter this week. I was able to write it since the fist few exams in my schedule were the easy subjects. That left me some time to every day to write a bit so here it is. Don't expect me to be able to do this everytime but I will try.
Also, after re-reading my previous chapter, I found that it is missing a few thing, so I have re-edited it. so I recommend you read it now.
Enjoy...
(Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto,Dmc or any other elements you may see in this story)
(Ocean between Tsuchi no Kuni and Yuki no kuni)
We now see Sparda standing on a ship, as it was sailing to Yuki no Kuni. He was still wearing the same clothes, but with an added black cloak for the weather, even though he didn't need it.
It has been almost a week since the Uchiha massacre. Three days after he started heading to the source of the disturbance, he stopped at the Hi no Kuni bounty station, and bought an update of the Bingo Book, to make sure Hiruzen stuck to the deal. He did. When he saw his picture in it and his profile, he had to whistle in appreciation. It read:

When he had read that entry, he had thought, 'yes, that will paint a huge target on my back,' with sarcasm. When he looked around himself at the station, he saw a few bounty hunters and thugs, salivating at the amount of money on his head.
A few minutes of struggle later, he left the bar, with its entire occupants bleeding and passed out and all the furniture broken everywhere.
When he continued on his way to the North, he had run into a caravan that was under attack by some new demons. They looked like large lizard-like creatures with oversized claws on their left hands. They wore a round shield on their right forearm. A few of them had frills around them. (Blades and assaults from DMC and DMC 4)
When he saw them, he flared his chakra, which grabbed their attention, and almost immediately after, they charged at him.
While they were more difficult to beat then Prides, they were nothing compared to the Vanguard, and didn't last long against him.
When he disposed of them, he was approached by the leader of the caravan, which turned out to be a filming crew. They were on their way to Konoha to hire a team of ninja for an A-ranked mission, when they were attacked.
He offered to escort them instead of Konoha. While the man was a bit skeptic, he agreed since he owed him for saving them, and had proven himself strong against the demons.
He introduced him to the film crew, and asked him if he knew the movie they were making. He told him of how he hadn't seen any movies, since he had been training in a remote location. The man accepted his excuse, and explained to him all about the princess Gale and the main heroine Yukie Fujikaze.
He had seen how the woman would act, and was not impressed. She was cold and cruel to children. He saw that in the port city where they got the ship, he saw how she would brush off and undermine the children who had asked for her autograph.
She had even attempted to escape from the trip, but he quickly put a stop to that, when he released a blast of KI, that froze her in her place. After that, the trip was quiet, with the crew working on the movie and acting on the ship. The entire time they were doing that, he was simply leaning on the railing of the ship's helm, and watching the filming.
Though, that changed when they had to suddenly stop in their trip, on the next day.
When he went on deck to find out why, it wasn't hard to know why they had to stop the ship. The glaring, giant Glacier that was conveniently in their way was the answer he needed.
'Too convenient' he thought, since he could feel a few signatures hiding in the snow, even if they were suppressing their chakras.
"This is perfect! We can use the glacier for some scenes in the script!" Yelled the director, who was laughing in glee.
So they set up the scene and started to film on the glacier, all the while he was waiting for the hidden ninja to show themselves. He could feel them getting closer, but since he didn't know their motives, he stayed his hand.
Though when one of them go too close for his liking, he summoned Vendetta to his hand, and channeled his chakra through it. Now that Kyuubi had regained his full power, he had the ability to use his elemental chakra with his Devil-Arm form.
So he channeled his chakra through it, and yelled "Everyone! Get back to the boat now! Katon: Hakai Hado," this was an fire element version of his Meiton: Hakai Hado, the same Justu he used to kill Danzo, though this time he channeled more chakra, and sent a large crescent wave of concentrated fire chakra, that exploded on impact, and forced the Unknown enemy to jump to the side to evade it.
While the man evaded the Jutsu, he was still hit by the shockwave of it, and toppled on the glacier for a few feet before getting his bearing, and jumping to his feet. He could now see the man clearly and got himself ready for a fight. The man had a pale tone, and had a thin and bony face, protruding blue eyes with marks on the bottom of his eyes and a narrow nose. He also had a straight, long and lilac air with a ponytail and blue forehead protector that protected the sides of his face, with four dots on it, three in one line with a fourth on the side, the sign for Yukigakure. He was wearing a jounin outfit from that village.
The Justu caused a large explosion, which also had the other two signatures show themselves. The first was a large man with a metal claw on his left arm. He had a short crop of purple hair and black eyes. He was wearing the same outfit as the first man. The last person was a woman. She had the same outfit as the other two, except for females, that showed her curvy body and had green eyes, and pink hair stylized into two ponytails.
"Guess we shouldn't underestimate you if you were able to detect us," said the first man.
Sparda stayed silent and stood in the middle with the three surrounding him from three sides. He then created a team of four Kage Bunshins. The enemies tensed, but saw him send two of the clones to help the crew get off the glacier, while the two others stood next to him.
The large man sneered and brought of a board from his back, and said "using clones is not going to help you win. They dispel with one hit, idiot!" he then proceeded to snowboard his way to him and his clones, ignoring his teammates yells to stay calm.
Before he could even reach their positions, one of the clones appeared and drew its copy of Vendetta, and swung it at the man. The man smirked, thinking his chakra armor was going to protect him, but got a nasty surprise when thanks to that thought, he didn't bother to block and paid for it. The man was instantly bisected into two pieces, which fell to the ground.
While the body lay on the ground with blood pooling around it, the clone took out a scroll, and sealed the armor, after it took it off of him, and the board into it.
Meanwhile the two others were shocked at the ease it took for the man to kill their team-mate and bypass the supposedly indestructible chakra armor.
Though they quickly paid attention when they saw the original start walking towards them, alongside his clone. They both went through Hand-seals in an attempt to take him down from a distance.
"Hyōton: Haryū Mōko (Ice Release: Tearing Dragon Fierce Tiger) "yelled the man, as two large tigers made out of ice formed and started charging at them.
"Keep him busy Nadare! I'll get him, Hyōrō no Jutsu (ice prison jutsu)" yelled the woman.
While he and his clone were evading and dodging the ice tigers, ice started jutting from the ground and started following the two. Getting tired of playing defense, Sparda substituted with the first clone, and had the two of them let themselves get captured, while he snuck behind them.
When the clones were trapped in the ice, he could see the two start taunting his clones and saw them start heading back to the ship. Before they could take any more steps, they heard the sound of dispelling clones, and turned to see the ice prisons empty.
Before they could even sense him, he appeared behind the woman, and knocked her out with a chop to the neck, and quickly swung Vendetta's flat side on Nadare. The blow connected and sent him thirty feet away from him, and crashing into the glacier wall. He took the woman, and jumped to the ship, where he could see the director and the camera man filming him, and the rest of the crew looking at him in awe.
He then felt a large chakra build up, and turned to see an injured Nadare bleeding and looking worse for wear, who had just finished hand seals for a jutsu, and heard him yell its name. "Hyōton: Ikkaku Hakugei (ice release: one horned white whale)"
The Justu made a huge whale made of ice, which flew through the air, and crashed right in the middle of the glacier and caused the whole thing to crumble into pieces, and created a large tsunami that washed everything away. He had to use water manipulation to make the wave didn't sweep the ship, and so was unable to stop Nadare from using it as a distraction, and escape.
When everything returned to normal, he sheathed Vendetta on his back and made his way to his prisoner. He then used his Chakra Chains to tie her up, and seal her chakra. After that he carried her on his shoulder and made his way to below deck, ignoring the crew and Yukie who were staring at him with awe. He also saw the director crying tears of happiness at the clips of the battle that he got, and named "Footage of a Life Time".
The man who hired him, one Sandayuu Asama, stood in his way and asked "what are you going to do with her?"
He looked at him and said, "I am going to interrogate her, find out what they want, and the rest… you don't want to know," he finished darkly, and then continued on his way.
The crew members gave him a wide birth and allowed him to move without hesitation. It was not a good idea to step on the nerves of an angry and very strong ninja.
(Half an hour later)
In a small room within the ship, stood all the major members of the trip. The director and his assistant as well as Sandayuu himself. Through another door in the same room, was the place where Sparda had taken his prisoner to interrogate. They could hear nothing coming from the room. Not even a whisper. They were all afraid of what that meant.
Suddenly while their imaginations were running on about what was happening in the room, the door opened, and from it came a perfectly clean Sparda, but he was missing something. Where did the woman go? When they looked behind him, they found the room empty without any trace of her.
Did he really interrogate her and then erased her from existence? So what happened to her?
Unknown to any of them, he had interrogated and kept her imprisoned in the Shadow world, to make sure she doesn't escape, and to prevent anything from happening to her. He had found a use for her and would make sure to have her fulfill her role.
When he entered the room, he took a spot leaning on one of the walls in the room, and stared coldly at Sandayuu. "Start talking." He calmly ordered, while staring at the man.
Sandayuu sighed and adjusted his glasses, as he began his explanation of what happened.
How he was a servant for the last Daimyo, Sosetsu Kazahana, who was killed by his own brother, Doto Kazahana, so that he would inherit the position. He told them about how the rightful ruler of Yuki no Kuni, who was the daughter of Sosetsu-sama, Koyuki Kazahana who was smuggled out of Yuki no Kuni during the coup by a young Kakashi Hatake. The name caused Sparda to raise an eyebrow at the coincidence, but no more emotion was displayed about it. He told them how he searched for the princess, and found her acting with a new name of, Yukie Fujikaze, and ever since then he became her agent, and had stayed with her to make sure nothing happens to her.
He also told them that he suggested they film the last movie in Yuki no kuni so that he she could return and dethrone Doto. While he was explaining this, Sparda could sense, the now identified as Koyuki, standing outside the room and eavesdropping. He stood up and walked to the door and opened it, and they all saw her standing there in her pajamas and a bed robe on her.
She stood there, with an indifferent expression, as he finished his explanation.
"So you lied to us and used us to get the princess here, haven't you?" asked the assistant with a disturbed face.
"Forgive me. I simply wished for Koyuki-hime to return back to her country." He explained. He then got up and went around the table, and bowed to the princess with his head on the ground and said, "please Koyuki-hime, you must reclaim your title and take back Yuki no Kuni from the tyrant Doto! Your people and country need you!"
Koyuki stood there with the same expression. She then answered with, "I refuse".
When Sandayuu raised his head to her, she continued "don't you get it? If you keep on fighting you will die! We need to get away from here. No one can kill Doto." She finished, with a lifeless look in her eyes.
"Is that so?" they turned to Sparda when they heard him speak, "is this Doto person the one who is going to make you give up?" he saw her give him a small nod. He shrugged, and said "Alright then. When I meet him, I will kill him. I will take his life, and we'll see what will happen then." he finished, and started making his way out the room.
Koyuki stood there shocked, but came back to her senses when he walked passed her, and yelled "ARE YOU CRAZY?! IF YOU FIGHT AGAINST DOTO, HE WILL BE THE ONE TO KILL YOU?!" she was about to yell some more, but with a burst of KI that had everyone in the room falling to their knees, she quickly zipped up, and was shivering in fear.
"Good, that's a lot better. Now, I suggest you get ready, we are about to dock in Yuki no Kuni. You have a movie to film." With that he went out, and closed the door behind him, leaving the ones inside on their own, with Koyuki clutching her necklace around her neck.
The convoy were now travelling through Yuki no Kuni, with Sparda sitting on the middle vehicle, so that should something happen, he could react as soon as possible. The vehicle they were riding was something they called a truck. Sandayuu explained how in Yuki no Kuni, the technology were far more advanced than anywhere else in the world.
He was enjoying the cold air that was on his face, and with his ponytail flying with the strong wind, with closed eyes and a peaceful expression. Though his eyebrow rose, and shook his head, when he felt Koyuki's chakra running away from the convoy, after jumping from her vehicle.
He tapped the metal below him twice, which caused the truck to stop just before entering a tunnel that would take them to the next scene to film, and for Sandayuu to peak his head from the passenger window and ask, "Is something the matter, Sparda-san?"
"Yes. It would seem that Koyuki is trying to escape again. I will bring her back and meet you on the other side of the tunnel. Understood?" he received a nod for his answer. Though Sandayuu's face was filled with worry for the princess.
He then got up, and made two clones as lookout before jumping off and disappearing with a burst of speed. Sandayuu had the caravan continue its way. He was confident that Sparda would bring her back safely, he could feel that the man had a samurai's honor. Being one himself, even if it was a long time ago, he could literally feel the man's strength oozing from him both physical and mental.
(With Koyuki)
Passing through trees in the forest, was Koyuki. She didn't know where she was going, but it didn't matter. As long as it was away from those suicidal people she was alright with it.
What did they know about Doto? They weren't the ones who had to suffer from him. Especially that shinobi. Who does he think he is? Just coming in and telling her what to do. Talking about killing Doto like it was easy.
While running through on the snow, she tripped and fell and started rolling down a hill on the snow. When she reached the end, she could feel her wariness and her fatigue took hold of her. Ever since she had been forced to this island, she had not had a good night's sleep. Every night the same nightmare happen again and again. She would relive her father's death and the night her uncle took over the country.
She should have died that night, but for some reason she was saved, while her father died.
'It would have been better for everyone of I had just died then' was her thought as she could feel her vision get overwhelmed. Though suddenly, she started hearing the sound of footsteps crunching on the snow. Turning her head, she saw a pair of black knee length boots. Following the boots, she could see Sparda standing there while looking at her with the same cold face she had. She always knew her expression made people uncomfortable, but being on the receiving end of it for once…well let's just say, she didn't like it.
"Are you done trying to run away princess?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
She didn't answer him, and just laid there on the snow. He sighed and moved towards her, and then carried her bridal style and started walking back in the direction of the convoy. No words were spoken between them as Sparda was walking back to the convoy. Though a few minutes before they could reach the tunnel, she felt him tense and turn to the left. Following his line of sight, she was greeted to the sight of three lizard like demons. They looked the same as the assaults and blades he fought before, except these were bigger and their claws were sharper with a stronger ice shield. These were called Frosts. (DMC 4. Google them is easier)
The three started advancing on him, with him backtracking. He was confident he could beat them, but these were stronger than before and had an advantage, they could target Koyuki.
He set her on the ground and pushed her behind him, and summoned Vendetta, and the blade was engulfed with flames. He tied Yamato to his back so it wouldn't get in his way.
When he was done, he saw two of the frosts charge at him with a growl, while the third stood back and was staring at Koyuki and was salivating from what seemed to be hunger. Not allowing them to separate them, he quickly charged at them as well, and kicked the first, who blocked it with his shield but was still pushed back, while the second tried to slash at him with its claws. Easily evading them, he threw a punch at the demon, who wasn't able to block after attacking, and was thrown away. He then quickly put his hand on the ground and summoned three Chakra Chains and directed two of them to the demon that he punched and had them wrap around it. He then then had the chains grow spikes on it's, which caused them to pierce the frost and made it screech in pain. Pulling on the chain, it had the effect of shredding the frost to pieces and dissolving into white dust.
While this was happening, the last chain traveled in the ground, and surfaced right under the last frost, and tied its legs together. He did this to buy himself time to kill it, and he quickly appeared over the frost and swung Vendetta and shredded the demon in two, which dissolved into dust.
Hearing a scream, he turned and saw the first frost, had used the distraction the other made and targeted Koyuki, who fell to the ground with her eyes shut. He cursed and quickly disappeared in a burst of speed.
When Koyuki saw the demons, she started to shake in fear for her life and Sparda's. Though she felt her confidence rise at the sight of Sparda killing two of them. Though when she did, she heard a growl. She froze in her place, and almost mechanically turned her head, only to see the last frost charging at her with its claws ready to kill her. She tried to back away, but only managed to slip and fall on her butt, with the demon almost reaching her. She closed her eyes on instinct and waited for her death.
A few seconds later, she heard the sound of pierced flesh. She then felt something drip on her face. Opening her eyes, she saw Sparda standing infront of her, with the ice claw through his stomach, but amazingly was still standing like nothing had happened even with the claw in his stomach and the blood from it.
"Yknow…your claw is very cold. How about I warm you up!" he said, and with his free hand he gave the frost a heavy uppercut that forced it's claw out and had it flying in the air. He then grabbed its tail before it get too far, and pulled it to the ground…hard. While the frost was dazed and staring straight ahead at the sky, Sparda brought down Vendetta and pierced the demon, which caused it to dissolve to white dust.
Turning to Koyuki, he saw her staring at something on him. Following her gaze, he saw she was staring at the hole that used to be in his stomach, but now was nothing more than unblemished skin, and a hole in his shirt. He quickly dispelled Vendetta, and made his way to her. When he did she met him halfway in a hug that surprised him. 'Must be from the shock of almost getting killed' he thought, since he could feel her shaking.
He patted her back and then carried like before and started heading back to the convoy. By the time they reached the tunnel, she had calmed and was able to walk on her two feet, though she kept close to him for some reason.
"How did you do that? How did you heal your wound so fast?" she asked curiously. This had been bugging her since the accident.
He turned his gaze to her, and looked ahead again, as he answered "I have high speed regeneration. A wound like that is nothing, compared to the injuries I suffered when I was younger and during my training." He answered without turning to her. If he had he would have seen the horrified expression she had on her face. A hole in his stomach was a small injury? What kind of childhood or training did he go through?
"You should know something Koyuki-hime….you think you have alone have suffered hardships in their lives? What about the people in this country, who are under Doto's rule? And it's not just this country. What about those men, women and children that are currently barely living and fighting in the Kiri civil war? Do you know their suffering?" he turned to her, and saw her shake her lowered head. He turned to the front again and said "I thought so."
They continued traversing the tunnel without a sound. No words were said between the, Koyuki feeling shame now that she thought about her life compared to others, and Sparda enjoying the silence. Though that didn't last for long, when the ground beneath them began to heat up and vibrate. When he looked down, he saw four metal railings, two on each side. He turned and saw a light source near the entrance of the tunnel, and saw Koyuki staring with wide eyes as if recognizing it.
"It's a..a TRAIN!" she yelled, with fear in her voice.
He looked at the light and could feel chakra signatures moving fast towards them. He quickly got to the princess and carried her. "Gotta go!" he said and quickly turned tail and started running to the exit.
A few seconds later, when he looked behind him, he saw large machine come through the corner, and start speeding towards them.
'So that's this Train creation, eh?' "You and your creations and technologies" he mumbled loud enough for Koyuki to hear. She stared at him like he was crazy. Instead of focusing on getting them out of danger, he was admiring the train that is about to crush them.
Just as she was about to reprimand him, he had a thought "why am I running?" he asked himself, he then stopped and let the train come closer. Koyuki closed her and waited for her death..AGAIN! But it didn't happen. Instead she felt a sense of vertigo, before they started to move at high speeds. When she opened her eyes, she saw that they on the train itself, and he was using it to cross through the tunnel.
"You didn't think I was going to get us killed, did you?" he asked, with his voice laced in amusement. She blushed in embarrassment, and hid her face in his chest. Sparda shook his head, and looked infront of him to the see they were almost at the exit.
When they exited out of the tunnel, he could see the crew were near the railings on the mountain side, but he couldn't see Sandayuu anywhere. He then jumped of the train and used chakra to stick to the ground, when he landed in a crouch near the filming crew. He put her down and rose to his feet, and saw that they were all staring at the train, which had stopped and started to move in reverse and stood when it became right next to them.
The sound of metal can be heard and a door was unlocked, and out from it came a large man with brown hair, broad shoulders, and was wearing an ornate robe with Nadare standing next to him, but in the back.
"It's good to see you again Koyuki. I have not seen you in a long time, why don't come here and give your dear old uncle a hug?" he asked cruelly.
Sparda could feel her shaking in fear behind him, so he stood in front of her, and blocked her view of Doto.
Just as he was about to talk, he heard the sound of tumbling wood, and turned to see tree trunks falling from the hilltop and colliding with the train. They were also a small army of samurai's with Sandayuu standing in the front. "It's been ten years Doto, but we I, Sandayuu Asama will lead the rebellion that will avenge our true ruler, the late Susetsu Kazahana-sama!" he then unsheathed his sword and raised it in the air, "Look men. Our princess is watching and with her return, VICTORY WILL BE OURS!" they then charged down the hill and to the train with a battle cry.
Doto turned to Nadare with annoyance in his eyes, and asked "didn't you say that all those rebels were taken care off?"
Nadare bowed his head, and said "forgive me Doto-sama. I will make sure of it this time."
"No" replied Doto, as he then developed a smirk on his face and said, "I have a better plan" with a signal of his hand, hidden compartments on the train opened up, and started launching rapid-fire Kunai at the charging men.
The men stopped in their tracks, but before the kunai reached them, they saw Sparda, who had left the princess appear in the way of the kunai, with his hand held out, and the mark on it glowing, and heard him speak calmly "Meiton: Kurayami Parusu (Dark Release: Darkness Pulse) (the same attack used by Hiruko in movie 3 that dispelled Naruto's clones. There was no name so I named it)
Suddenly a large wave of black energy surrounded Sparda and formed a circle around him. It then enlarged and covered the entire area and protected the Samurai's from the kunai that were launched, and pushed the kunai away and back to the ground near the train.
The train kept on launching Kunai, that were too weak to pierce the shield and would get pushed back with no effect. Seeing that it was not working, he signaled for the kunai barrage to stop. Once it did, Sparda stopped the technique.
"So that is the ninja that is causing all the trouble and was able to kill both Fubuki and Mizore. What is your name shinobi-san?" asked Doto.
"My name is none of your business, but you should know you are my target. I will give one chance to leave the country and never return, otherwise you will die. What do you say?" asked Sparda, with a calm voice, with his hand on Yamato's sheath,
The man was silent for a few seconds, before he started chuckling, and that gave way to full-blown laughing, while Nadare stood next to him, not feeling as confident as he was.
"You kill me? That'll be the day" he said when he managed to calm himself.
"as you wish, Meiton: Hakai Hado" he declared and launched a large wave of dark blue chakra, though this one was big enough, that when it collided with one of the train carriages, it exploded and was sent flying in the air, before tumbling down the cliff.
The observers were shocked, though Nadare quickly regained his composure, and had the train start moving to escape the ninja's wrath. Doto was still staring at the missing carriage with wide eyes, before he looked back at Sparda and saw him narrow his eyes at him. He would admit it, those eyes scared him. He now knew not to underestimate the ninja.
With the train gone, he calmed down and sheathed Yamato. He then turned to the crew and samurai's and saw them staring at him. "Well what are you waiting for? We need to keep moving!" he said, and that brought them back and had them finish the set.
While the crew were working, he walked over to Koyuki, who now had Sandayuu and his samurai army standing around her and checking on her. When they saw him, the samurai all bowed their heads to him, with Sandayuu at the front and thanked him for saving their lives.
Though a few minutes later, they started hearing a weird sound. Suddenly rising from the cliff, was a large blimp. It then flew on its side, and they could see Nadare manning somekind of a grappling claw. He aimed and fired at Koyuki, who started yelling for Sparda to save her. She was pulled into the blimp, and Sparda saw Nadare smirk in triumph.
He also saw the samurai and Sandayuu, shout for their princess to be released, all the while he stood calmly.
Sandayuu then rounded on him when he saw him just standing there and not doing anything, and asked "what do we do Sparda-san? We have to rescue the princess!"
He stayed calm, and turned towards him and said "don't worry Sandayuu-san. Boss will take care of the princess. All we need to do is to follow them." He said and turned around to the crew, and had them pack up as quickly as possible and started to follow the blimp in the trucks.
(On the blimp)
Koyuki was struggling against Nadare, as he pulled her onto the bridge of the blimp. Where they can see Doto standing with his arms crossed, and with a victorious look on his face. He then stood up and started walking towards Kyouki, and placed a hand on her chin, and lifted her face so she was looking at him.
"You escaped from me for far too long Koyuki-chan. I never thought finding you would be so troublesome. And I see you have kept the Hex crystal in good shape," he said and then left her face, and pulled the necklace from her neck.
"Shows how stupid and pathetic you are if you couldn't even catch a little girl, uncle!" she retorted, and saw him frown at her and was about to backhand her, till they were interrupted by a voice.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," came the voice of Sparda, as he emerged from the entrance of the bridge that Nadare used. He saw Koyuki look at him with wide eyes filled with hope, while Nadare was visibly shaking, and Doto was gritting his teeth.
"HOW DID YOU GET HERE, BOY?!" yelled an angry Doto, who saw Nadare pull Koyuki so she was infront of him, with a kunai at her neck.
"You have no idea what I can do, Doto. Now release the princess or else!" replied Sparda in a firm voice.
The man laughed, and then asked "or else what? You seem to think you are the one in control. I have the princess hostage and I have the hex crystal." He said and pointed at Koyuki and the crystal.
"Actually you don't have the crystal, atleast not the real one but a fake crystal. Release Koyuki-hime or I will crush the real one," he said as he showed them his closed left fist, and opened it and they saw another hex crystal necklace in it.
The three turned to the crystal necklace that was with them, and saw it shimmer, and reveal itself to be nothing but a normal necklace with a paper seal on it, with the kanji for "GenJutsu" on it. Doto grit his teeth, and closed his fist on the fake necklace, and made the metal dent. He then took a deep breath, and they felt the blimp slow down.
He turned to Nadare, and said "release her. The crystal is the only thing that matters." He saw Nadare about to refuse, but with a quick glare he was silenced. He release her from her binds, and had her take a step towards Sparda, who reached out with his hand for her to grab. Just before their hands connected, she was stopped when Doto place his hand on hers, and extended his hand towards, him and asked for the crystal.
Complying, Sparda threw him the crystal, and when Doto caught it with both his hands, Sparda quickly pulled Koyuki to him, and pushed her behind him. He then took Yamato from his back to his left hand, and started to walk backwards to the exit. But before he could get out with Koyuki, the exit behind them was locked by a heavy metal door.
Turning to Doto, he saw him pressing a button on a nearby console.
"Did you think I was going to let you go so easily? I am afraid not." When he said, two doors opened on the sides of the room, with ninja pouring out from there and surrounding Sparda from all directions. "Come here Koyuki, NOW!"He yelled.
Turning to Sparda, she saw him nod his head, and say "don't worry. Nothing is going to happen to you. i wont allow it." He then squeezed her hand, and let her go, and saw her go back to Doto.
He then saw the floor behind Doto open up, and saw him remove his robe, and revealed that he was also wearing an advanced looking black chakra armor. He then grabbed Koyuki around the waist, and turned to the hole in the floor, with Nadare next to him.
"Kill him!" he ordered his ninja with a smirk, as he and Nadare jumped through the hole and had wings extend from their backs and from the chakra armor.
The last thing he saw, was Koyuki yelling his name, with a desperate expression on her face. When they were gone he saw all the ninja charge at him. He sighed and unsheathed Yamato. He had to catch up to them before Doto did something bad. He could feel the demon presence close. Very close, and Doto was heading right to it with Koyuki.
(With Koyuki)
The whole time they were flying, she had been glaring hatefully at her uncle.
"Don't be like that Koyuki-chan. I want you to watch as I use your fathers treasure to take full control of Yuki no Kuni and then the whole elemental nations. But first, I need to get rid of that annoying pest brat!" he said, and then took out a small detonator from his pocket. Koyuki's eyes widened when she saw it, and saw her uncle press the button.
She then heard an explosion behind them, and turned her head, and saw the blimp explode into a huge ball of fire, and saw it falling to the ground. If she could, she would have cried, but her tears were all dried up. He was the first person to connect with her, and if it werent for her he wouldnt have died.
Though she brightened up and had to hide her grin, when she was saw a figure burst from the fire ball and started to follow them from a distance on the ground.
(With Sparda)
He had killed each and every single ninja on the blimp, and just when he was about to man it, and use it to follow Doto, he sensed the whole thing explode. When he did he stood near the hole, and quickly jumped from it the second the whole thing exploded and continued following them on the ground. He could see the three land on an area that had three large mirrors covered in ice, and in the middle between them was something he never thought he would see here. A Hell Gate. He saw Doto approach the gate and tried to stop them, though he was intercepted by Nadare.
"I can't let you get to Doto-sama." He said firmly, and got himself ready for a fight. Knowing that he couldn't afford to waste time, he quickly charged at the man, and slashed at him with Yamato. He saw the man evade him, but still got cut from Yamato's ability. He then saw him jump back and perform a few hand seals and heard him yell "Hyōton: Rōga Nadare no Jutsu (ice release: wolf fang avalanche technique)" this caused an avalanche to fall from the mountain next to him and formed into a large pack of wolves that charged at him.
He quickly sheathed Yamato and got In position, and calmly stated "Dākusureiyāsutairu: Jajjimentokatto (Dark Slayer Style: Judgment Cut)" and just like last time, distortion in the air appeared next to each wolf and shredded them to pieces as well as Nadare himself, who fell to the ground with blood pooling around him and cuts and gashes all over his body.
He left him and quickly headed to Doto, ignoring the maniacal laughter of the director, who was filming the entire time.
He quickly reached the Rainbow Glaciers, but was too late. As soon as he arrived he saw Doto turn the crystal in its place, and turn the power to the Hell Gate. It seemed that the person who built the machine was trying to use the power of the Hell Gate to power something. But what happened instead was a portal opening, and from it came two large toad like demons, with antenna's that had two glowing nude women on each, two were blue while the others were red.
"WHAT IS THIS?" yelled Doto, in outrage. He then saw Sparda behind him, with a blue force field surrounding them, and said "THIS IS YOUR DOING ISNT IT? I AM GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU PEST" he then did six quick hand seals and pointed his hands on Sparda and yelled "HYOTON: SORYU BOFUSETSU (Ice Release: Twin Dragon Blizzards)" and sent two large ethir black dragons.
But before they could hit him, he absorbed both of them using his Meiton: Kyūketsukō (Dark Release: Inhaling Maw), and before Doto could do anything else, he was surrounded by all four Rusulka, who when they touched him, froze him into a statue of ice, that was quickly swallowed by the first toad, who chewed on him for a bit, before spitting out the now dented Chakra armor.
As for Sparda, he quickly went to stand next to Koyuki, who hugged him close to her. She was scared, but she knew with Sparda with her, he would not let anything happen to her. He then started taking her closer to the force field to the side where he could feel Sandayuu and his Samurai's and the filming crew. When they reached that side, while making sure to keep the demons in his line of sight, while they did the same and were licking their lips, he quickly told her hold still. He then used his Meiton chakra to surround her in a bubble and pushed her out the barrier.
While normally that was impossible, he had enough control of his Meiton kekkai genkai, to both absorb the energy from the barrier and use it to get her out. With her safe, he could fight a lot more easily.
He felt one of the two demons jump and attempt to crush him, and quickly jumped away. He landed in the middle of the two demons and had them come closer to him. They tried to seduce him using their Rusulka, but he quickly cut them of their feelers with Yamato.
He then absorbed them into his body. The two demons felt the cut of Yamato and screeched in pain for the loss of their Feelers.
They then roared at the same time, and cause the area to go dark. The bystanders could see nothing in the dark cloud in the barrier. Among them was Koyuki who was staring at the battle with her hands clenched together.
'Come on Sparda. You can do it. You already killed many other demons. You can do it' she thought, with her eyes staring confidently on her savior in the barrier.
He stood in his place, waiting for them to make their move. He quickly summoned Vendetta and sidestepped the tongue that tried to grab him, and stabbed it to the ground with Vendetta. Hearing a screech, he channeled chakra through Vendetta, which made the demon roar in pain. He used that opportunity and slashed at the demon with Yamato, "Meiton: Hakai Hado (destruction wave)" and sent the wave of dark blue chakra that impacted with the demon, and cut in two.
Feeling the death of its sibling, the red toad demon quickly roared in anger, and stopped its dark technique, jumped in the air, and tried to squash Sparda beneath its weight. Rolling on the ground he rose to his feet, and saw the demon take a deep breath. He jumped out of the way of a large ice breath that came from it. He then saw the demon try again, but this time stood his ground and raised his arm to the demon.
When it blew the same attack again, this time he fired his own Justu, "Meiton:Jajimento (judgement)" the blue flames fought against the ice breath, and was able to overwhelm it. The fire then reached all the way back to the demons and exploded in its mouth, which caused it to screech in pain, and fall to its side, dead.
The blue barrier around them started flickering before disappearing without a trace. He saw Koyuki running towards him, and when she reached him, she hugged him tightly. He raised an eyebrow at how attached she had become to him, before moving on.
"I knew you could it. I believed in you and you won." She whispered low enough so that he would hear.
'Looks like she changed.' "I told you, princess. There is nothing for you to be afraid of while I'm here." He stated and returned her hug with one arm. He then turned to the two demons' bodies, that started to dissolve, only for the souls to stay floating in the air. They then flew together, and merged together, and the sphere launched itself towards him. When it reached his hand, it transformed into a small black suitcase with skull print on it.
He then received flashes of memories from it, and found out all about the case in his hand. Pandora. A technological Devil-Arm that can scan technology and replicate it by transforming into the technology itself. Wanting to try it out he released Koyuki, who looked at him with a curious expression, and went to the dented chakra armor. He had the case scan the armor through the skull.
When it was done, the suitcase glowed and attached itself to his body. When the light died down, he stood there wearing a full battle armor. He had a pair of black vambraces that had white patterns drawn on it with a hidden blade on the bottom, which he found useful since he had no stealth weapons, and a pair of black greaves that covered his entire leg with the same white patterns. His chest was also covered with a light armor plate that covered his entire torso with the same pattern, and on his shoulders. There was also a black face mask and a hood attached to the back of the armor. The entire armor was made of demon metal, which meant it was durable and very light, he didn't feel any different than usual. His old ANBU guards was absorbed into the new one, but he could still separate them. (Pic for the armor available, but you need to imagine how it looks on him.)
He then powered down the armor, which made it get absorbed into the vambraces, with the hidden blade, and a pauldron on his right shoulder instead of the old ANBU gurads.
He then turned towards the Hell Gate, and with a few cuts from Yamato, destroyed it.
He then saw Koyuki stand next to him and heard her ask "why didn't it work? Wasn't there supposed to be a treasure?"
"The treasure needs power to unlock or something similar, I don't know. Whoever made this wanted to use the Hell Gate as an energy source. But that was a double edged sword. By channeling energy through it, it can activate. With it being destroyed, it is useless now." He explained.
She looked down at the ground sadly, "so my father's treasure is gone?" she whispered.
"Not necessarily," he replied, and saw her looking at him in confusion, "all we need is a power source, and luckily for you, I am a walking chakra generator." He said. He then strode to the slot where the Hex crystal was, and planted his hands on it, and channeled as much chakra as he could. He could feel something happening, though it still needed a lot more chakra.
So he closed his eyes, and entered his DT(indigo) and channeled all the chakra he had into the device. With the larger amount of chakra, and its potency, the device started to work. A few minutes later of channeling chakra, it was fully charged and operational, but nothing has changed. Or so they thought.
The started to feel the temperature rising and the ice melting around them.
"This is Sosetsu-sama's treasure, a heat generator?" asked Sandayuu.
With Koyuki, she was staring at the lush green that was there after the ice had melted, 'just as you said father…' "Believe in the future and spring will come" she was interrupted before she could say those words, when she heard that voice. Her father's voice.
She turned and saw a projection in the middle of the mirrors, and a young version of her was conversing with her father. She could barely remember that conversation. Before long, she had tears falling from her eyes as she heard her father and herself speaking, and her laughter reverberated in the air when she said she would also become an actress.
All the while, Sparda was leaning on the panel, and trying to catch his breath. The large amount of chakra he used, while easy to regenerate, had him suffering from chakra exhaustion using it all in one push. But he was healing quickly. And besides, seeing Koyuki laugh and cry in happiness, was worth it. While looking at her, he kept imagining a face that looked almost like her. The same black hair, and the same skin tone, and face shape. The differences between them were very small. They looked almost alike, he couldn't help but think about Izumi.
But he turned back to see that Yuki no Kuni had become Haru no Kuni.
(Haru no Kuni-one week later)
It's been a week since the death of Doto, and the change that happened in Yuki no Kuni, the now new Haru no Kuni.
With that week, he had been busy eliminating all the remnants of Doto's army, and had retaken the castle, which became the new home for the Princess, now Daimyo of Haru no Kuni, Koyuki Kazahana. The people had accepted their new ruler with open arms and fully supported her rule.
He had everything he could to make sure that she was safe, now it was up to her to do her job, and for him to move on.
They were now standing outside the Daimyo's castle, where a large gathering can be seen. Sparda was seen wearing his normal outfit, with a cloak that was made specifically for him that was a gift from Koyuki. They were all standing with the crowd's cheering for him and yelling his name. He had become a hero to them as well for everything he did for them.
Next to him was Koyuki who was wearing an ornate robe that fitted her position as the Daimyo of the country. She was standing next to him with a sad expression on her face. He had told her he was leaving this day. There was no more need for him anymore, and he had promised to help some people a long time, and he intended to do that.
He was leaning on a machine that was half his height, but twice in length. It was a combination of polished black metal over brushed white mechanics. It had an oval-piston twin cylinder engine and has two front wheels with one in the back. This was the Pandora's version of the truck that he scanned. He wanted to have something to use instead of always running and jumping through trees and he rather enjoyed the truck rides. So he scanned the truck and this was the result.

He was able to make the bike and keep the armor on his body at the same time, and was able to transform the bike back to its suitcase form.
"Are you sure you can't stay here? You will be an honorary member and my personal guard," Koyuki tried to persuade him.
"I am afraid not. There are things that I must do. Besides, if the world knows I'm here, then all of Haru no Kuni will be in trouble. I can't allow that…not after all the effort you put to bring peace here." He replied, and saw her pout. He then took out a pair of black glasses that he had bought from a store in the country and applied them on his face. (Cloud's glasses from Final Fantasy. I want him to be cool…u don't like it sue me! (I'd prefer u don't) )
"But I'll see if I can visit whenever I can. I promise Koyuki-sama. Till next time," he said and turned on his bike.
"Before you go..one last thing," she said, and approached him on the bike. She had him turn his head to her, and gave him a deep kiss. When they separated a few seconds later, she had a blush on her face, while he was smiling slightly, "that's a thank you for helping me, and making me believe again." She finished.
He said nothing and simply nodded his head. He then revved the engine, and before he could go he said "anytime, Koyuki-chan." He said and then let go of the brake and drove back to the coast, with everyone waving at him as he went.
Ta-Da... tell me what you think please.
Also so you know, I have found a pic that is good for the marks I want when he uses DT(indigo) but imagine them on him.
Now I am going to hit my favorite place in the world...My bed! bye...
