They landed on the ground with Kisara and Shukaku landing on their feet and Naruto landing head-first. Naruto grumbled a bit as Kisara laughed at him. They looked around and saw that they were in a large dark cave with a few stalagmites jutting out of the ground. Then Naruto noticed the bonfire in the middle of the room and the man sitting at the bonfire. The man stood up and grabbed his sword which lit on fire and Naruto got a better look at him. He stood about 8 feet tall and wore armor that looked worn down with a withered crown on his head. Naruto then stepped forward and asked "Are you Gwyn, lord of sunlight." The man looked surprised at the boy. In a voice, that was old and shriveled but also had power, he said "Boy, no one has called me that in many years. I fell from my place as lord of sunlight when I linked the bonfires together. I am now Gwyn, lord of cinder." Naruto was shocked and thought "This decrepit old man is one of the three that even mom sees him as a god?"

Kisara then intervened and said "Lord Gwyn, we have returned." Gwyn looked at Kisara and then recognised her and Shukaku and said "Kisara, Shukaku, if you're here then that mean you've found him." Kisara smiled and said "Yes lord Gwyn we have. He is this boy in front of you." Gwyn looked surprised and turned to Naruto. He walked towards Naruto and stared at him. Naruto audibly gulped, nervous what Gwyn was going to do. Gwyn then looked towards the ceiling and shouted "GRAVELORD NITO, WITCH IZALITH, I SUMMON THEE!"

Then a massive burst of fire and lava came from the ground and out of it came a person. It was a woman who stood 7 feet tall and wore black robes lined with gold. She wielded a staff in her right hand and in her left was a massive flame. This was the witch Izalith.

Then at the other side of the room a massive sarcophagus rose from the ground. The casket opened to reveal a giant mass of skeletons with long arms and legs made of bones. It wore a cape which looked as if it were made of darkness and the souls of the dead and instead of a right hand he had a large sword made of human bone and flesh. This was Gravelord Nito. Both figured walked forward until they were at Gwyn's sides.

Then a voice that radiated death said "Lord Gwyn, why have you summoned us?" Then the woman stepped forward and hugged Kisara. Then she spoke, in a voice that radiated power, saying "Kisara, it is good to see that you are safe my daughter. But if you have returned that that means you've found our sage correct?" Kisara said "Yes mother, we have found him." Izalith looked around and then noticed Naruto. She gasped and said "But he is only a child. How can he possibly be ready to become our sage?" Naruto looked a little sad and said "Just because I'm young doesn't mean that I'm weak." Kisara looked scared and looked at her mother, but was surprised to see her smiling. Izalith then asked "You have courage to insult a lord. Tell me child, what is your name?" Naruto looked at her and said "Naruto, my name is Naruto."

Nito interrupted and said "How do we know that this boy can handle our power?" Kisara looked at him and said "I know that he can. He has gone through hardships that make traveling through lordran look like a sightseeing trip." The lords looked surprised and Izalith asked "Kisara, what do you mean? What hardships has he faced?" Kisara looked sad and said "You may want to sit down, my lords. This story is a very long and very painful one."

Kisara explained everything to the lords from when she was first sealed into Kushina to when Naruto was banished. At the end Gwyn looked furious, Nito didn't give an expression but radiated a power that made anyone who felt it feel dread, Izalith stared at Naruto with tears in her eyes. Then Izalith asked "Child, how can you still be sane after that? Not even hollows go through that much pain before they lose their minds." Naruto looked at her and said "I've learned to deal with it. Either way I pulled plenty of pranks on them. Gwyn looked confused and asked "Like what?" Naruto smiled and said "In Konoha there's a large mountain that we carve the faces of the hokage from. One day I painted on every single face and nobody noticed until morning, not even the guards on night shift. They all laughed a little.

Then Nito said "I know that i'm ruining the moment here but I think that we should put up a test for the boy." The other two lords looked at him as if he was insane but Nito lifted up his left hand and said "I'm not proposing this because I don't think he's worthy but I think that he should have the same challenge as your heir Gwyn." Kisara had a look of pure horror, Gwyn looked shocked, Izalith Looked scared, and Shukaku was trembling. Nito raised his hand again and said "Hear me out before you make assumptions." Everyone relaxed a little.

Nito then said "I know that this boy is worthy of becoming our sage, but I think it would be a good idea to let him have a chance to try out the weapons and abilities of our land. For example teach him miracles or pyromancy. I'm just saying we should try and train him in using our abilities just incase he can't summon us." The others were shocked but after giving it some thought, they found that there was no flaw in Nito's logic. Gwyn looked at Nito and said "Now that you mention it, that would be a good Idea but that road is dangerous and it would be very difficult alone." Nito put his hand to what Naruto assumed to be his chin and then Nito said "Why not have him accompany your heir?"

Gwyn looked at Nito and said "Nito, you know that my heir must journey alone. Naruto cannot help him." Nito turned to Gwyn and said "I know that but I mean that Naruto should be in the same time so that they would meet each other every now and then and help each other." Gwyn went into deep thought and then said "Very well Nito, but first we must figure out what Naruto is going to learn." Naruto looked at him confused but then Izalith jumped in and said "I think that he should join one of our covenants. This will give him a chance to learn what we represent and what each of our benefits are. The three lords looked at each other for a few minutes and then nodded. Gwyn said "This will do for us to be able to teach him our ways. So Naruto, which covenant do you want to join?"

Naruto looked at them in confusion and asked "What covenant's are there?" Gwyn looked at Naruto and said "Each of us has a covenant which one enters to serve the lord that it represents. My covenant is called the sunlight covenant, even though I am no longer the lord of sunlight. Entering this covenant you will gain the power to cast a miracle called the lightning spear, which is a long bolt of lightning that you can throw at your enemies. Another thing about covenants is that you can deepen the covenant by sacrificing certain items at our altars. For mine you sacrifice items called sunlight medals." Nito then said "My covenant is called the gravelord covenant. By joining my covenant, you gain the ability to cast the miracle Gravelord sword storm, a miracle that summons twenty blades from the ground to impale the enemies around you. you also receive a version of my blade that you can wield." Izalith then said "My covenant is called the chaos sisters covenant. By joining this covenant you gain pyromancies that burn your enemies and covering them in lava at the same time."

Gwyn then turned to Naruto and said "I believe that you have already met my daughter guinevere. She also has a covenant called the knights of sunlight covenant. This covenant allows you to cast two miracles that heal both you and any allies around you. So Naruto, which covenant will you join?

The types of magic that naruto learns will effect which covenant he will join. This is all that I have to say for now. This is NeroReborn and I will see you guys next time.
