Author's Notes: It's been a fun ride so far, and I'm learning as I go. Next time I'm going to drag something out, I'll be sure to give fair warning, which I just did in the first chapter. To be honest I never plan to do so, but when I started this story last year, one review told me not to have Naruto in Rias' peerage, and the gears in my mind started spinning with new ideas, with one of them you've seen in the past few chapters. Fortunately, that won't happen anymore in the majority of my Naru EX Unleashed stories. Maybe I should've started in the Raiser arc similar to what I did in Abnormal Maelstrom Zero, but the past is past.
I've switched around two scenes at the end of the previous chapter, therefore making more sense. Because of that, the fight between the Uzumaki-Namikaze sisters and Raiser's peerage had been pushed back to possibly a future filler chapter, maybe around the time when I have Naruto fight "Satan Red". Therefore, this chapter will have the COMPLETE Naruto vs. Raiser fight you've all been waiting for. Looks like Christmas came early eh? Now then, Let's get this show on the road!
This will probably be the last longest chapter in a while. I have to admit though, it was difficult to write original chapters.
-NEW INFO/CHANGES TO THE NARU EX UNLEASHED SERIES UNIVERSE (as of August 2013)

Last on Devil Dragon Storm Emperor…
Inside the corridor of the wedding chapel leading the event hall where the wedding is currently underway, two figures made their way toward the gigantic door guarded by two guards.
One of the figures is a big silver dog with silver fur, red eyes with green slits, a blue moon on its forehead, magenta stripes behind its mouth, an elegant flowing tail, and a ruff of fur around its neck.
Riding on top of it is a young girl in a black hooded robe, hiding her identity and outfit, but her stormy blue eyes can be seen.
One of the guards moved to stop the dog and the young girl as soon as they neared the wedding behind the gigantic doors they were guarding and took out his weapon.
"Halt! This party is only for invited guests of the Gremory and Phenex clans. Please remove yourself from the area immediately!"
Instead, the dog growled and responded with a Sonic Roar, lifting the poor guards off their feet and blasted them through the gigantic doors. The dog and girl then bounded inside and growled at some more guard surround their ally, a cute, frail-looking petite yellow-eyed blonde maid of the Gremory clan, who just interrupted the wedding when the priest asked if anyone had any objections, which she did.
"You know, that cute look really suits you, Abigail." the dog said, surprising everyone with its speaking ability.
"Like Trish, I dress to impress, Gina!" the maid said with an uncharacteristic smirk as she grabbed her skirt and pulled it off, with the rest of clothes and disguise coming off her, revealing a young woman with long slivery-white hair running straight down her back with her bangs brushed down, beautiful icy blue eyes, a voluptuous figure with F-cup breasts, and wearing a purple trenchcoat with nothing underneath, giving a nice view of her ample cleavage, black jean-like hotpants with garter belt, long combat boots, and dual swords with one on her back and one on her side.
"Besides, I love crashing parties, and crashing weddings are the best! And like my brothers Dante and Vergil, I'm absolutely totally crazy about it!" the young woman named Abigail added, unsheathed her blades as the dog named Gina, with her passenger on her back, stood by her side, drooling acidic saliva as they prepared to fight.
Chapter 10: Wedding Crashers – Naruto vs. Raiser
(Wedding Chapel, prior to Gina and her companion's entrance)
Raiser Phenex, dressed in his elegant white suit for his "grand" wedding, was all smiles with his 'I'm holier than thou' smirk while waiting for his bride to come down the aisle, to say her vows, and be his wife until "death" do they part. While he himself originally didn't have anything to gain from this arranged marriage, he now didn't mind adding another female to his collection of beautiful ladies the moment he first laid eyes on the redhead and the female members of her peerage.
"Are you ready, Raiser-sama?" one of Raiser's best men asked.
"Yes. Just waiting for my future wife." Raiser replied, his smirk not leaving him. Once she marries Rias, he'll become her master, and gain control of her peerage. Soon Rias won't be the only lady to join his already impressive harem. As soon as he gets rid of Hyoudou Issei, her only useless male subordinate, that is.
Sure enough, his grin increased when he saw the bride walking down the aisle arm-in-arm with her Father, wearing a gorgeous red wedding dress decorated with a wing of flame motif that hugged her figure nicely and a veil covering her face. Raiser can't wait to show Rias his way of doing things after the wedding, because no matter their personality, eventually they all change their colors and become his type of girl after he works his magic on them. He looked forward to breaking her.
As soon as Rias stood by Raiser, the high archpriest proceeded with the union.
"My fellow Devils, we gather together tonight in the name of our four original rulers, Lucifer, Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus to bind Raiser Phenex and Rias Gremory together in marriage to strengthen the ties between the households of Phenex and Gremory. If there is anyone here, who knows why these two should not be wed, please speak up now, or forever hold your peace."
"Naruto-kun…" Rias thought, failing to hold back her tears behind her veil. With the weight of being the heiress apparent of her family on her shoulder, she could only try to be strong, and endure the eternal nightmare that is to befall her for her family.
Before the high priest could continue however, a loud bang rang out, the sound echoing off the walls and making everyone jump and look around wildly, but a cry of pain rang out from the altar, making everyone turn back to said altar to see Rias looking thunderstruck behind her veil and Raiser holding his head as if in pain. When he removed hand, gritting his teeth to block out the pain, everyone saw a closing hole in Raiser's temple, leaking out blood.
"Goddamn, this wedding is fucking depressing…" a loud but bored voice rang out from the opposite end of the aisle, "A girl's wedding is supposed to be magical and a dream come true, but the bride there is crying a waterfall behind her veil because he's marrying an asshole instead, and no one cares since it's a selfish attempt for the future of the Devil faction. How pathetic."
Everyone in the residing chapel looked down the aisle to see a frail-looking maid of the Gremory clan with blond hair, yellow eyes, a petite figure, and wearing maid uniform of the Gremory clan that similar to Grayfia's, pointing her dual black and white semi-automatic customized Colt M1911 pistols, Luce and Ombra, at Raiser with her eyes narrowed.
"Maybe its Devils like you are the reason that the Old Satan Faction of the Army of Disaster, the Khaos Brigade, exists."
Before Raiser could foam at the mouth in anger at the insolence of this maid, the "frail" maid of the Gremory clan fired several shots in rapid succession, causing the guests to jump out of their seat in fright and moved away, while the high priest, the best men, and the bridesmaids moved away as well, and Rias on the other hand, stood where she was, surprised at this turn of events, with hope rekindling within her heart.
Raiser however, dodged the bullets with a look of fury on his face.
"Guards!" he roared, "Subdue that bitch!"
On his command, the armored guards in the chapel swarmed around the maid and pointed their swords at her.
"Drop your weapons and surrender!" the head guard shouted as the maid looked side-to-side and smirked.
"Oh dear. Twenty guards for poor, little old me? I don't know if I should feel scared or insulted." she said in a taunting manner, "Are you overcompensating for something, Raiser-kun?"
Just then, a loud roar sound off from the door behind her, and then said door was blown off its hinges, with a silver dog and a young girl riding it bounding into the wedding chapel, making the maid smile.
"It's time to get this party started!" she thought with glee.
(Opening Theme: Trip –innocent of D- by Larval Stage Planning)
(Event Hall, present time)
The wall exploded as Raiser was sent flying though it along with the twenty guards that surrounded the daughter of Sparda. He flipped and landed on his feet, dusting himself off as the silver-white haired purple-clad young woman jumped through the hole and landed in front of him.
"Keh, the only daughter of the only Omega-class Devil, Sparda, Abigail Sparda. I wish I could say that I'm honored to finally meet you, but-"
"I interrupted your little wedding, right?" Abigail interrupted sarcastically, shrugging as the elegant silver dog, Gina, and her companion joined her as the rest of the guests filed into the event hall, "Well gee pal, what can I say? I'm a sucker for crashing parties, especially when it's a wedding."
"Heh, and you just happened to get hired working for the Gremory household to interrupt my wedding? I find it hard to believe this is coincidence." Raiser growled out as a blaze of fire materialized on his hand, "Who put you up to this?"
"No one, but whether you believe or not doesn't matter to me, Raiser Phenex…" Abigail replied as she unsheathed her swords that look like Force Edge, but a darker version with a green jewel, "Me and my friends here are here to have a good time and add some entertainment to the festivities."
Raiser glared at her, but then smiled, making Abigail raise an eyebrow and putting her companions on edge.
"What with that smile?" they wondered.
"As much as it would be an honor to fight you, Daughter of Sparda, now is not the time, or the place, so instead…"
He raised his arm and snapped his fingers, a huge orange magic circle with his clan symbol on it appearing in front of him. The next second, his all-female peerage appeared in flash of flames, teleported from the wedding chapel where all the guests of the "grand" wedding were now leaving out of, all in their formal party dresses that matches their respective motifs for the occasion.
Yubelluna is Raiser's Queen and the strongest in his peerage who specializes in powerful fire magic that goes off like a bomb. She's a busty woman with long, wavy purple hair that falls all the way down her back with the right side of her hair falls over her breast and covers her right eye, while the left side falls near the top of her skirt, and matching purple eyes. For accessories, she wears a black headband with a red-orange jewel over her forehead to keep her long hair in place, and wields a staff-like scepter in battle. For cosmetics, she wears purple lipstick, matching her eyes and hair. In the Rating Game, she was eliminated by Rias in her Ruin Princess Mode.
Ravel Phenex, Raiser's Bishop and little sister who have the same abilities as her older brother. She's a young girl with blonde hair tied in twin ponytails with large, drill-like curls, with blue ribbons keeping them in place, a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her nose, and dark blue eyes. In the Rating Game, she was not eliminated, being only an observer.
Mira is one of Raiser's Pawns who's said to be the weakest of the group. She's a young girl with blue hair styled with four short ponytails, with two of the four pointed up and the remaining two pointed down, with the front featuring split bangs going across her forehead, with side bangs framing her face, and light brown eyes. Her weapon of choice is a wooden staff, which she uses in combination with martial arts, and channels fire magic though it. In the Rating Game, she, along with her fellow pawns Ile and Nel, were incapacitated by Issei and eliminated by Akeno.
Ile and Nel, Raiser's pair of Pawns who're twins that are both dangerous and will cut down their opponents without a second thought with their chainsaws, despite their innocent appearances. They have turquoise hair tied to one side of their head with a yellow ribbon (opposite to their sister), and blue eyes. In the Rating Game, she, along with their fellow Pawn Mira, were incapacitated by Issei and eliminated by Akeno.
Burent, Raiser's Pawn with a dancer motif whose capabilities are both unknown. In the Rating Game she, along with fellow Pawns Shuriya and Marion, were eliminated by Yumi.
Shuriya and Marion, Raiser's Pawns with a maid motif whose capabilities are unknown since they were only seen using magic to destroy traps. In the Rating Game both, along with their fellow Pawn Burent, were eliminated by Yumi.
Ni and Li, Raiser's Pawns who are twin catgirls who both specializes in hand-to-hand combat. In the Rating Game, both were eliminated by Koneko and Yumi.
Isabela is one of Raiser's Rooks who wears a mask on the right side of her face. As a Rook, she possesses enhanced physical strength and endurance. She has short, light brown hair that has three red highlights across, and grey eyes. In the Rating Game, she was defeated by Koneko and Yumi.
Xuelan is Raiser's second Rook that bares a younger resemblance to one of the Uzumaki-Namikaze's senseis, Chun-Li Huang, and uses Chinese Kung-Fu like her, using fire the strengthen her attacks. She is a well-endowed young woman of Chinese descent with shoulder-length black hair styled in two Chinese-style buns on both sides of her head, while the front features bangs that form a slight V-shape across her forehead, and blue-green eyes. In the Rating Game she, along with Ile and Nel, were incapacitated by Issei and eliminated by Akeno.
Karlamine is one of Raiser's Knights who is an expert swordswoman, an honorable female knight, and a sword maniac, the last part according to Ravel. She is a young woman with brown hair with a greenish tint and green eyes. Her weapon of choice is a sword and dagger, and is capable of using fire and wind-based attacks. In the Rating Game, she was eliminated by Koneko and Yumi.
Siris is Raiser's second Knight who unlike her fellow Knight, does not uphold the Knight's Code of Honor and is willing to follow the orders given to her without any doubt. She is a tall young woman with long black hair with a dark blue tint and features five thin ponytails going around her head, which are held up by a golden hair accessory on top of her head, and brown eyes. Her weapon is a giant Zweihander and is capable of creating strong wind attacks and shockwaves. In the Rating Game, she was eliminated by Koneko and Yumi.
Mihae is Raiser's second Bishop with a priestess motif whose capabilities are unknown, but as a Bishop, she has a strong affinity for magic. In the Rating Game, she was defeated by Koneko and Yumi.
"Girls. Keep our dear guests…entertained." Raiser commanded as he walked back to the spectator area, "I have a wedding to get back to."
"Onii-sama, are you sure?! She's Sparda-sama's daughter and she just like her own brothers!" Ravel squeaked, pointing at Abigail, who started to whistle.
"At the end of the day, it's all about the numbers game omouto, just like our victory in the Rating Game. She may be his daughter, but I sure she can't fend off all of you at once." Raiser assured her, but in reality, he was only reassuring himself, "Don't let her title fool you, so take care of her."
"Hai, Raiser-sama." Yubelluna said as she prepared for battle, summon her magic staff weapon. However, most of her master's peerage was not assured and reluctant to engage the silver-white haired beauty due to her infamous exploits.
Not to mention her two companions were unknown, with something about the silver-furred dog making them nervous.
But in the end, they were Raiser's Evil Pieces, and they were to follow his orders to the letter.
"Setting your peerage on us instead of fighting us yourself. You are truly a credit to your clan." Gina called out, but Raiser ignored her, his mind on more "important matters".
"So it's like that eh? Well, since they're not here yet, I guess we have some time to time to kill." Abigail said, adopting a Cheshire cat grin, "Plus, we won't have to worry about them finishing the wedding, right leader-chan?"
The hooded girl on Gina's back simply giggled in response as Gina herself smirked.
"Of course not." Abigail said as she, Gina, and the hooded girl charged at Raiser's all-female peerage, dodging Yubelluna's infamous fire spell in the process.
Meanwhile, Raiser arrived where the spectators are, and grin at Rias, who watched the exchange with a glimmer of hope in her eyes behind her veil.
"Now then, my lovely Rias-"
Raiser then frowned, as Rias' own peerage, Akeno, Koneko, and Yumi, all dressed in their own formal dresses, suddenly stood between him and Rias.
"Akeno! Koneko! Yumi!" Rias called out to her precious servants, shocked that they're standing against Raiser.
"And what are you three think you're doing?" Raiser growled out, angered that his wedding was getting delayed by these interruptions, "You dare stand between me and my bride?!"
"Ara ara, if you want to blame someone Raiser, blame Abigail-san for what she said when she shot you in your head, causing us to act this way," Akeno stated, a sadistic grin on her face with lightning magic dancing on her raised hands.
"I don't care if you're a Phenex anymore, you won't lay another finger on Buchou as long as we're around!" Yumi added, bravely standing up to Raiser as she used her Sacred Gear, Sword Birth, to summon Flame Delete, the ice Demon Sword that devours flame.
Koneko just nodded in agreement with her comrades as she pounded her fist into her hand, "I'll kick your ass."
Meanwhile, Abigail looked past Raiser's peerage, smirking at the situation developing.
"Well well, finally there's a peerage who knows what's best for their King. But still… Gina-chan, you better head over there before those three become char-broiled."
"What about you?"
"I'll be fine. Remember, I'm not the one who'll be fighting these ladies." Abigail assured the Inugami, whispering the last part to her.
Gina nodded and bounded over Raiser's peerage to Raiser himself, who was snarling in rage at the insolence of his bride's low-class Devils and.
Conjuring up a fireball, Raiser was about to show why he was a Phenex when he was tackled through a wall leading outside by Gina.
"You really should learn to mind your surroundings." Gina barked while her companion laughed, turning to Rias and her three servants, "Are you alright?"
"Yes. Thank you, Gina-san." Yumi said, bowing in gratitude.
"Minna, why are you-" Rias started to ask.
"Because we are your servants, Buchou." Koneko said simply, interrupting her, "And we all care for your happiness."
A fireball suddenly came out of the wall where Raiser crashed through; aiming towards Gina who cancelled it out with a Sonic Roar. She then growled as Raiser jumped through the hole, cocking his flaming fist back to punch the silver dog, but the girl on her back bought out her hand and stopped Raiser dead in midair as her eyes turned from blue to purple with ripples under her hood.
"What?!" he said in shock, with the surrounding guests looking on in surprise.
The girl giggled as she mentally pushed Raiser back, but he flipped and landed on his feet.
"Care to try again, Phenex?" Gina growled, with toxic saliva dripped from her mouth and onto the floor where it melted, intriguing one Devil with the same red hair as Rias.
"I thought she looked familiar. The Daughter of the Daiyokai Inu no Taisho, and the daughter of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, eh? Things have gotten interesting…"
Meanwhile, Abigail yawned as she nonchalantly dodged each and every member of Raiser's peerages' attacks, making it look like she was dancing with them, from weaving through Ile and Nel's chainsaw attacks, flipping over Yubelluna's attempts to blast her away, riding the wind of Siris' shockwave attack with her sword, etc. etc. etc.
"Is this really all the Daughter of Sparda has to offer? I expected more from you!" Yubelluna shouted as she cast another one of her signature fire spells, with guards in golden armor appearing behind Abigamil to block her escape route.
This time it hit Abigail, but she walked out of the blast like it was nothing, dusting her trenchcoat off while she heard an open scroll in her hand with a crest of Sparda that was flashing red, making her grin.
"Too bad you'll never get the honor of fighting me for real…"
"And why's that?" Ravel asked smugly.
"Because the main event…is now here…"
(The Main Eventers)
"Do you think Raiser-sama can defeat the Daughter of Sparda?"
"Of course he can! He's immortal!"
"I don't know. Sparda is the only Omega-class Devil in history, and she's his daughter."
"Irrelevant. Raiser-sama will crush her, hands down!"
The guards stopped talking as a group of eight suddenly entered their field of vision, wielding various weapons in her hands.
The Uzumaki-Namikaze siblings, Naruto, Naruko, Narumi, Naruhi, and Naruna; all in their battle outfits (A/N: Battle Outfits: Naruto - Dante DMCAnime; Naruko - Kairi KHII; Narumi – Ayane NGSII; Naruhi – Milla ToX; Naruna – Yuna FFX-2), along with Raynare, Kalawarner, and Mittelt, currently hooded, with a Angelic Sword, Chaoseater, and Harvester on their backs respectively. (A/N: weapons from Darksiders)
"Who the hell are you?" one of the guards demanded, pointing his sword at the throat of the group, who didn't answer his question, "We've been authorize the use of extreme force if any more strange individuals come here! Turn back now!"
"No can't do buddy. We know you're doing your jobs, but you just drew the short stick in guard duty." Naruto said, pointing the hilt of Rebellion at them while the blade glowed black with a red outline.
The guards were about to spit fire as elemental glyphs appeared around the group, from which six different colored spherical objects rise and spun vertically behind them until they connected with each other to form a larger glyph.
"GETSUGA TENSHO!" Naruto yelled, swinging Rebellion in a wide arc.
"FRAGMENTED END!" Naruko, Narumi, Naruhi, and Naruna yelled, pointing her hands at the guards and the gigantic doors they were guarding.
Before the guards could react, large, multi-hitting energy laser fires, accompanied by smaller lasers from the six spheres were fired at them, along with a black and red wave of energy in the shape of a crescent moon, engulfing the poor saps and blasting them through the event hall doors where luckily none of the attendees were standing.
But Raiser's peerage was while facing Abigail.
"What is it this time?!" Raiser shouted as he and everyone else saw the laser beam and wave of energy headed towards his peerage.
"EH?!" the girls of Raiser's peerage cried as they turned and saw the beam coming at them, their eyes widening comically.
"Oops!"
Abigail jumped up to the ceil where stuck her feet and watched upside down as the elemental attack engulfed all of Raiser's peerage except for Yubelluna and Ravel who flew away in time.
When the attack ended, the whole peerage was still standing after their fruitless attempt to block the attack and was singed badly, but Mihae's barrier broke and was blasted back into the wall and knocked unconscious. Before they could react, four streaks of blue, yellow, green, and pink shot towards them and slammed into the Pawns, with the blue streak hitting Mira and Burent, the yellow streak hitting Ni and Li, the green streak hitting Shuriya and Marion, and the pink streak hitting Ile and Nel, sending them all flying to the wall where they joined Mihae in unconsciousness as the streak reformed into Naruko, Narumi, Naruhi, and Naruna, with the former casting another mystic arte and aiming to towards Raiser's remaining pieces as four balls of energy representing the elements of Fire, Wind, Earth, and Water appeared, growing larger as they circled around them.
"O power that lies at the root of all creation, O memory inscribed in ages past, hear my call and arise before me... Ancient Catastrophe!"
There was a blinding flash of light as the beams from the orbs collided down the middle, with an explosion causing Karlamine, Isabela, Naruhi, and Siris is be blasted away in four different directions before slamming into wall, joining their fellow comrades in blissful consciousness.
"How you do, everyone?" Naruko said in a mocking tone, "Sorry to spoil the fun…"
"Naruko-chan?" Rias whispered as Akeno and Yumi grinned, while Koneko managed a small one.
"Why you!" Yubelluna screamed as she prepared her signature fire spell, but…
"Reigan (Spirit Gun)!"
A large, blue beam of light shot from the entrance and made contact with Yubelluna, the force of the blast sending her to the ceiling and crashing back down on the floor, now knocked out.
"Im-impossible!" Ravel cried, terrified that her brother's Queen was bought down in one hit, with some of the guests sharing that sentiment.
"…but you know how an Uzumaki love to crash a party!"
Everyone's attention turned to Naruto who stepped through the entrance as he gave a discreet, silent hand signal for the Fallen Angel girls to remain hidden until called for. For some of the Devil, they thought they were looking at Dante Sparda, the infamous owner of the now defunct Devil May Cry, until they saw the blond spiky hair.
"Then again, it wasn't much of a party to begin with." Naruto added, while spotting Rias, "Yo, Rias-chan! I'm here to take you back! Nice dress by the way, though the phoenix style is a little off."
"Naruto-kun!" Rias cried out, not realizing how happy she sounds when she called out his name.
"They keep popping up like cockroaches!" Raiser growled, "Guards!"
More guards, this time in golden armor bearing the crest of the Phenex clan, now surrounded the young Twilight Celestial, their swords out and wreathed in flames.
"Will you look at this? Just twenty of you in such bulky, shiny armor. Oh, I'm so scared." Naruto grinned, raising his hand as his hands turned purple with ripples, "Shinra Tensei!"
The poor guards didn't know what hit them as they were repelled away from Naruto and skidded across the shiny floor before crashing through the walls.
"Ouch. Was that really necessary, Naruto-nii?" Naruko asked as she and her sister joined their brother.
"Overkill is our fellow sibling, Naruko." Naruto replied, his eyes turning back to normal as he walking towards Raiser and Rias, with murmurs now spread through the guests.
"Who are they?"
"They must be terrorists."
"Did you see those powers the girls wielded?"
"That sword the boy has, it's one of Sparda's blades!"
"Does that mean that they carry the blood of Sparda as well?"
"What do they have to gain from this?"
The siblings noticed Abigail on the ceiled, who gave a double thumbs up, and Gina with their companion as well, the former wagging her tail.
Meanwhile, a certain student council president of Kuoh Academy looked on with interest, along with an unknown Devil with a golden lion motif.
"What are they doing here? HOW did they get here? I knew Rias' taken an interest with Naruto, but I never expect him to do anything like this…"
As for Raiser was steaming mad. Wait, not mad…PISSED! It was supposed to be his night, HIS night! And it's been ruined by the arrival of the daughter of Sparda and that dog and her companion, with more of their friends joining in. He could tolerate that lowly Pawn's interference since he defeated him with little effort, but this… He now feels hatred for the gatecrashers that dared ruined his wedding.
More guards came towards the siblings, but Akeno, Koneko, and Yumi intercepted them.
"Naruto-senpai-tachi, leave these guys to us!" Yumi said as she blocked a sword strike with Koneko grappling a weapon, and Akeno shocking the crap out of the guards.
"Thanks!" Naruto said as he and his sisters walked past them, "We owe ya one!"
"You bastards!" he snarled, drawing Naruto's attention back to him, with the blonde's eyes momentary turning green.
"Raiser Phenex, the third son of the Phenex clan who inherited the powers of the immortal bird, Phoenix. Wish I could say that it's a pleasure to finally meet you, but it's not…"
"Oh really? And you are?" Raiser growled, materializing a ball of fire threateningly.
"Uzumaki Naruto, third-year student at Kuoh Academy and fellow classmate, and leader of the Special Investigation and Disciplinary Committee there. These little rays of sunshine are my sisters: Naruhi, Naruko, Narumi, and Naruna. Also, me, Naruko, and Narumi here are Rias-chan's childhood friends and former classmates at Konoha Academia. Think you can remember that buddy?"
Rias eyes widened as Naruto said that with his sisters nodding.
"He- They remembered!" she thought, happiness filling her heart.
"You're the defenders of Rias' school I've heard about? You're way outside your jurisdiction." Raiser countered, not impressed by Naruto credentials.
"Guess you haven't heard anything about us, Raiser-san. Kuoh Academy, the surrounding areas, and even the students are part of our jurisdiction asshole, and right now, you have one of them against her will." Naruhi snarled, pointing her gunblade at Raiser.
"In other words, Rias-oneechan is apart of our jurisdiction!" Naruna piped up.
"So if you don't want to learn first hand why humility's identical to humiliation, then I suggest you let Rias-chan come back with us. This is your only warning." Naruto added, twirling Rebellion between his fingers in a threatening manner.
"You, a mere low-class Devil dare threaten me?!"
"He thinks we're Low-class Devils? Judging from the ones we don't know, there's no sign of fear from hearing our name, only recognition; which means they don't know who we really are! " the siblings thought as one, now all thinking of an evil idea.
Naruto smirked as he summoned his Boosted Gear, "I do dare, ya pile of crap. Since you refused, as we knew you would, are we gonna fight or what? Hell, we don't mind taking on anyone else who'll try to stop us."
"Very well then."
A new voice interrupted them before things got really out of hand and harm the guests, making the whole hall go silent as a handsome young man, with the appearance of a man in his early 20's with crimson red hair and blue-green eyes, similar to Rias, and wearing white robes with black and gold armor over them, made his presence own.
"Onii-sama…"
"B-but Sirzechs-sama…!" Raiser started to protest, but was interrupted as Naruna's eyes turned green while looking at the male version of Rias.
"Sirzechs Lucifer, also known as the Crimson Satan. He's the leader of the Four Great Satans, Rias-chan's older brother, and married to Grayfia-san. His skills with the Power of Destruction is higher than Rias-chan's." she recited, surprising everyone around her except her siblings, Abigail, and Gina.
"Now how did you know that when I didn't introduce myself?" Sirzechs asked, curious.
"Our Tactical Eye ability. It's allows us to connect to the world around us to give us of kinds of tactical information and history about a person, place, or thing. Rest assured, we barely use it." Naruko said while grimacing at Naruna, who stuck out her tongue at her.
"What an interesting ability…" Sirzechs noted, looking at the siblings with a critical eye.
"We're really getting off track here." Naruto said, with Sirzechs agreeing.
"Indeed. While we already had entertainment yesterday during the engagement party, I don't see any harm in some more… flashy entertainment. Besides, I'm interested in seeing the Red Dragon Emperor's power ever since Grayfia told me about him a few days ago."
"Sirzechs-sama," Raiser and Ravel's father, Lord Phenex, a man who looks similar to Riaser but in his 30s, started to protest, "That sort of action is…"
"Isn't it fine? While I said that we had some form entertainment during the engagement party, the battle between your son and my sister's Pawn was a bit too one-sided for my tastes."
"So my victory over that pathetic Pawn was for nothing?" Raiser questioned, while keeping his outrage in check.
"No, no. Your victory in yesterday fight only moved the wedding ahead of schedule. If a Devil such as myself says that, then I would be making the old nobles look bad. The relations between the High-class Devils are important after all. This though, is an entirely different altercation as far as I'm concerned; a conflict between you and Naruto-san here, who clearly looking to take Rias back, whether he has to fight you or not."
"Then Sirzechs," Rias and Sirzechs father, Lord Gremory, spoke up, with his wife right next to him, "What do you want to do?"
"Well, I want to make my cute little sister's wedding is a flashy one before any vows are spoken. Think of it as the main entertainment of tonight's party to prove to me and my family that you are truly worthy of Rias: a battle between the prodigy of the house of Phenex, Raiser Phenex, and the unknown Devil, Uzumaki Naruto of the esteemed Uzumaki clan. Surely you've heard of them?"
Raiser nodded, him and other Devil knowing all about the Uzumaki clan and what they can do, yet even they don't know the identity of the Descendant within their clan, which is a plus.
It's fun to surprise people after all.
"Dragon vs. Phoenix. Two legendary creatures locked in battle. Don't you think it's the ultimate showdown? Also, I believe there's more to this Uzumaki than meet the eyes, which explains how my sister Rias is so smitten with him since they were kids." Sirzechs commented in a slight nonchalant manner.
Shock was written all over Raiser's face as looked back and forth between Naruto, who was sporting a grin, and poor Rias, who had a blush that as red than her hair as her brother turn to the reddish-blonde.
"Dragon User Uzumaki-kun, you have what people call in the human world the "green light". And Raiser, will you show me your power once more in front of my family? I'm sure that battle with Hyoudou-kun was unworthy of a Phenex like yourself, and this Uzumaki here can give you a better challenge than him." Sirzechs offered, with Raiser thinking it over.
The leader of the Four Satans did have a point. Even Raiser felt a little bad for showing no quarter in defeating Hyoudou Issei. Sure the battle last about a minute, but it's to be expected when fighting a perverted Devil whose special attack is only effective against females like the girls in his harem. But then again, maybe beating the hell out of the Pawn after his new special armor from his Twice Critical expire by frying them and leaving him in a pool of his own blood was a bit much.
Glancing at Naruto, Raiser could sense that he is different from Issei, but even so, he is no match for a Phenex like him.
"…Very well. What Sirzechs-sama demands is what I follow. I, Raiser Phenex, will accept Uzumaki Naruto's challenge."
Sirzechs nodded in satisfaction, "Uzumaki-kun, is there anything else you want if you win? Like your own peerage, nobility, or perhaps the most beautiful girl? You can choose anything."
Naruto smiled a false smile before showing his annoyance over the question by coldly glaring at Sirzechs, who felt a chill in his spine by the intensity of the glare in his blue eyes.
"I came here for two things, Sirzechs-san: to kick his ass, and bring Rias-chan back. We have a lot of catching up to do after all."
"…All right. I will prepare the stage." Sirzechs said as Raiser stepped forward and got into Naruto's face.
"You'll be my last flame before I settle down as a married man." he said, grinning, but Naruto was unfazed.
"And you my friend, will be an example; just another victim of a pissed off Uzumaki." Naruto countered, not backing down.
(A few minutes later)
"So, you were the ones helping us. You're Yami-chan's agents. Good to see you again, Abby-chan, Gina-chan." Naruto said as he and his sister exchanged hugs with them, and in Naruto's case, pecked a kiss on their cheeks.
"Hey, someone had to help your ass while you were dealing with that curse." Abigail said, slapping him on the back.
"Oh, you have no idea." Naruhi agreed, with the other sisters laughing at Naruto's expense, who looked annoyed before he turned his attention to the girl riding Gina's back.
"Hey there little one, nice to meet you. Are you a new student of Yami-chan's?" Naruto asked, making the little hooded girl nod.
"Yeah, you have no idea." Abigail commented. She and Gina knew exactly who's under the hood.
"I don't know what she looks like under that hood, but she looks so cute!" Narumi squealed, making the hooded girl shift and fidget a little.
"So Naruto-kun, are you ready to fight? To prove once and for all that you're returned to your normal self; the self that we all love?" Gina questioned.
Naruto grinned, "Without a shadow of a doubt, I'm back, and Raiser-teme's gonna find that out, first hand."
"Good luck, Naruto-nii/onii-chan!" Naruko, Narumi, and Naruna cheered, with Naruto giving the thumbs up.
"Put the fear of the Uzumaki-Namikaze into these stuck-up High-class Devils." Naruhi added while whispering the "Namikaze" part.
"That's the plan." Naruto said, but as he was about to leave, the hooded girl tugged on his red coat.
"What's up?" he asked.
"She has something to give you." Gina said as the hooded girl reached into her cloak and pulled out a sword sheath in a gun-sheath that's similar to Jetstream Sam's.
Naruto took it and examined the blade within. He only pulled it out a little before he and his sisters sensed a bit of dread looking at it before finally recognizing it.
"Th-this sword is…!" Naruto looked at the hooded girl with suspicion, "How did you get this? This was put under lock and key under Uzu Island for a reason, only accessed by a few."
The hooded girl rapidly shook her head, whining and refusing to answer.
Naruko groaned, "So cares! It's something you can use against that asswipe, right? Don't get cold feet now."
"I'm not." Naruto growled, sheathing the blade and putting on his hip before smiling, "But this sword will prove most valuable in making him shit his pants. Thanks."
Grinning at the hooded girl, and nodding to his sisters, Abigail, and Gina, Naruto headed over to the magic circle where his opponent Raiser was waiting.
"Are you still going to fight?"
Naruto rolled his eyes after recognizing the voice and turned to see his opponent's sister, Ravel Phenex.
"Can you give me a really compelling reason for me not to?"
"It's quite simple really," Ravel said haughtily, "It doesn't matter that you're an Uzumaki. You're going to lose, just like that Pawn. Do you really think you've going to beat my brother? No matter what you do, he'll just keep rising- Huh?"
Naruto walked past her, completely tuning out her annoying reasoning.
"Hey, wait! Are you ignoring me?! I just told you you're going to lose! Why walking into your own demise?!" she snapped, attempting to follow him, but Naruto whipped around and pointed his index finger gun style at Ravel threateningly.
"Shut it, you little brat. Go eat some candy or something like a good girl and piss off!" he snarled before walking off.
"Grr. Don't say I didn't warn you!" Ravel snapped back, only for Naruto to give her the finger.
Naruto then stopped in front of Rias, who was trying to recover from the various emotions she felt from the past few minutes.
"Naruto-kun, are you sure about this? I mean, Raiser's-" Rias started, but was interrupted by a kiss on her lips from her beloved Naruto, "Mmm, muph?!"
After a minute, Naruto pulled away to smiled at the blushing face of Rias.
"Gonna get a beatdown like he's never experienced." he finished for her in his own way, "Don't worry. I'm not going to lose. And when I'm finished with him, you and I are getting out of here. Just wait for me."
"Naruto…kun…" Rias paused for a moment, before finally flashing a smile at her beloved, "Win!"
"That's the plan, my Shinku no Kami no Hime-chan (Crimson-Haired Princess)."
Winking at her and making the redhead Devil blush again, Naruto passed her and stood with Raiser in front of the magic circle Sirzechs summoned, who conjured up a floating arena for the two to fight in.
"I'm not gonna give this guy the pleasure of a quick win. That'll be too easy. I can beat him at any time, but no. I'm gonna humiliate him, and make him suffer… slowly!" Naruto thought savagely, unaffected by Raiser's killing intent.
(The Fight You've All Been Waiting For; WARNING: Naruto will be toying with Raiser a lot before getting serious, so get some popcorn, 'cause you're in a for a long fight!)
"First you barged into my wedding, challenge my authority in front of my guests, vulgarly insult me, and now you kiss my fiancé?!" Raiser snarled, standing side-by-side with the blonde in front of the magic circle that'll take them both to the floating arena.
"Mmm, sorry did you say something?" Naruto asked, looking sideways with a bored expression on his face, infuriating Raiser.
"I'm going to kill you, you worm!" Raiser snarled, grabbing Naruto by his shirt.
"Then allow me to make the first move!"
Naruto twisted Raiser's wrist and grabbed him around his neck and rear arm, lifted him up, and slammed him to the ground; a move called the Rock Bottom, making the ground tremble on impact.
"Catch me if you can!" Naruto taunted, doing a forward roll the magic circle, using it to teleport into the arena.
(Cue Battle Theme: Ao-iconoclast by KOTOKO)
Raiser growled as he kipped up, pissed that the insolent whelp put his filthy hands on him, and charged after the Uzumaki through the magic circle, teleporting into the floating arena. When he arrived, he looked around, but couldn't find the blonde until he heard running footsteps behind him. Whipping around, he was tackled by Naruto, who Speared him by using his momentum to drive his shoulder into his midsection, knocking the wind out of Raiser as he flipped in multiple revolutions on the spot before crashing on his back as Naruto forwarded flipped out of the way.
Slamming his fist to the ground, Raiser got up, conjured up a large fireball in his hands, and threw it at Naruto, who opened his mouth and sucked the flames in, consuming them.
"What?!" Raiser shouted in debrief as Naruto quickly shifted through handseals with his face turning red.
"Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku (Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation)!"
A stream of fire was expelled from Naruto's mouth, turning into a wide, massive wall of intense flames that covered almost half of the Floating Arena. Not taking a chance, Raiser bought out his flaming wings and flew up to avoid the sea of flames that poured out of the arena.
"Whew!" Naruto coughed, letting up on the technique as his face returned to normal, "That's a spicy meat-a-ball!"
"How the hell did you do that?!" Raiser demanded as he landed back in the arena, "There's no way you create that huge of a flame, especially with my fire!"
"Mmm, guess I got lucky." Naruto shrugged, before getting into a fighting stance (A/N: Lars from Tekken), "I'm surprised you didn't even suspect my Boosted Gear. I mean, it does have the power of the Red Dragon Emperor, who is a Dragon."
"Don't insult my intelligence you lowly Devil. I already know about your Sacred Gear. It keeps doubling the power of the user of every ten seconds. As it matures with training, it can also gain the ability to transfer the multiplied power. But, do you really think it's enough to win against the immortal phoenix?"
Naruto smirked as he shifted into his Devil Trigger Level 1, "Who knows, but I do know one thing."
"Really, and what's that? Going to try and beat me in ten seconds like that Pawn tried to do? If so, then I'll be going on my honeymoon real early!"
"BOOST" the Boosted Gear announced, filling Naruto with power.
"Hell no, you little bitch. I would defeat you in one shot like I did your Queen, but that would be boring. So I've decided that kicking your ass is gonna take some time: slow, and painful."
With that said, Naruto let out a loud feral roar in the form of a Sonic Roar, slightly surprising and frightening Raiser, who responded by flaring his power.
The battle lines are drawn, and the fight is now on.
[LET THE BATTLE BEGIN]
Naruto and Raiser charged at each other and engaged in a physical fight when they met down the middle. Naruto dodged Raiser's flaming fist and countered with a combination of fists and kicks infused with lightning as the Boosted Gear continued to gather power. Raiser started to grow frustrated not being able to land a blow on the reddish-blonde, and threw a wild haymaker. Naruto ducked and hit Raiser in his head several times with a Rock Punch Combo with his Boosted Gear, with the last blow a hard one after he spit in his hand. Raiser stumbled back as Naruto pressed forward with several summoned Shadow Clones and swarmed him with various strikes coming from all directions, before using an attack called Total Elimination with one clone doing a sweep kick that took Raiser off his feet as the real Naruto hit a jumping spinning roundhouse kick on Raiser's head, sending him crashing back first onto the ground. Barely getting up, three clones hit Raiser in the head and stomach simultaneously, sending him skidding back on his feet.
"He can split himself into clones! If that's the case…"
Raiser conjured a fireball and fired it at Naruto, with the real one jumping back and his clones going 'poof' when hit. Growling, Raiser fired off his fireballs rapidly in a scatter shot-like manner, with Naruto circling around dodging the blasts until he made a sharp turn, rushing towards the High-class Devil. Raiser fired a huge fireball that engulfed Naruto as he got closer. Thinking he won, he received a rude wake-up call in the form of Naruto rushing out of the flames with foreign red energy outlining his body; the Boosted Gear announcing "EXPLOSION" as he hit Raiser with a Charging Spikes shoulder ram that would make Shao Khan proud, sending Raiser bouncing off the ground like a skipping rock.

"What? He's...overpowering onii-sama... But how..." Ravel whispered as her brother was sent skipping.
"They say don't count your chickens before they hatch." Gina advised her, "So never underestimate Naruto-kun."
xxx
Naruto used Jinton (Swift Style) to punt Raiser in the head, but the Phenex grabbed the offending leg and reached a flaming hand towards Naruto's head to fry him, but Naruto deflected the hand, causing Raiser to stumble forward into Naruto's headbutt, followed by a wicked right cross to his face, sending him to the ground. Raiser rolled away as Naruto grabbed Rebellion from his back and bought it down, then swung it up with Raiser dodging to avoid the blade. Raiser used both flame to create a fireball, but Naruto grappled both of them with Rebellion, trapping Raiser as he proceeded to try and punch him in the head. Raiser moved and ducked his head until Naruto grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up effortlessly, keeping his hands trapped as well.
"So, you really think that I'm some lowly Low-class Devil eh?" Naruto challenged as Raiser actually struggled to get out of his grip, "Try part-Devil instead; a part-Devil who's descended from Sparda. I'm not the ero-gaki you enjoy comparing me so much to in your head!"
Raiser tried to use his free leg to kick Naruto, but the Dragon User grabbed that limb too and channeled his a certain senator.
"I can break a Stray Devil in two…with my bare hands!"
Naruto used his strength to throw Raiser into the air by his leg, causing him to spin like a pinball in the air making him scream.
"Don't fuck with this Uzumaki!"
To almost everyone's shock and confused, he channeled Seiton (Holy Style) chakra into his leg and punted Raiser like a football, the Holy energy burning his skin as he skidded facefirst on the ground and crashed into the wall of the arena.
(Ao-iconoclast Battle Theme fade out)
xxx
"That's holy energy!"
"How did he do that?"
"Is he really a Devil like us?"
"Just you wait, for there's more to come…" Abigail muttered, smirking.

Naruto was not done, as Naruto pulled up his right sleeve with his hand changed into the Devil Bringer, further shocking almost everyone when they recognized it. Cocking back his fist, he punched towards Raiser with a Devil Bringer-style Blackhawk Stinger, a red spectral fist materializing and rocketing forward, slamming into Raiser who couldn't move in time.
"He's down! It's time, aibou!" Ddraig shouted in Naruto's mind, who put away Rebellion.
"Way ahead of ya!" Naruto confirmed, holding his Boosted Gear up as he watched Raiser's extracted himself from the wall as his wounds healed.
"DRIVER" the Boosted Gear announced, a chain coming out of the green jewel of the Boosted Gear and wrapped around Naruto's waist, taking the form of the Heavenly Dragon Driver belt.
"STAND BY" the Boosted Gear announced as Naruto reached in his coat's inside pocket and pulled out the Dragon Cell.
"Allow me to show you Raiser Phenex, the power of the Red Dragon Emperor, augmented by yours truly!" Naruto declared, diagonally holding the Dragon Cell smartphone up to his shoulder, "HENSHIN!"
(Cue Battle Theme: Indestructible by Disturbed)
"HENSHIN" the Boosted Gear announced when Naruto inserted the Dragon Cell sideways into the front slot of the Heavenly Dragon Driver, "WELSH DRAGON OVER BOOSTER"
A magic circle appeared from the Dragon Cell and enlarged to become as big as Naruto, unleashing a sparkling red spectral dragon that circled around him until it entered his back at the same time as the magic circle phased though him, created a blinding flash of crimson light.
When the light died down, a red, spiky armored being stood in the place of Naruto. A red helmet covering the entire head with a clear visor over green eyes that shows a heads-up display inside and a very long tail accessory like a ponytail on the back of the helmet, round shoulder pauldrons with three protrusion-like wings, two Boosted Gear Gauntlets with repulsor blasters on the palms, a two-layer body armor with the outer layer an image of a dragon's head similar to Kamen Rider Wizard's dragon forms and hiding the armor's core, represented by the round white reactor hole, and sleek legs with the boot part similar to dragon legs.
"COMPLETE: DECADE DRAGON BOOSTER"
"This is the union of the Uzumaki and Red Dragon Emperor's power, the Boosted Gear's NEW Scale Mail Balance Breaker: Decade Dragon Booster!" Naruto declared, bashing his gauntlets together and letting his power flare and manifest in the shape of a large red Western Dragon behind him (A/N: Effect from Bleach during Ichigo vs. Kenpachi fight, NOT Power Rangers!), "I'm going to eat you, Raiser Phenex!"
xxx
"The forbidden move…Balance Breaker." Rias repeated, amazed by her beloved's new form.
"The forbidden diabolical magic." Sirzechs said in confirmation, "Not like your Pawn's armor."
"Nothing forbidden to us." Naruhi interjected, "And I don't know what armor that kid had, but it's nothing compare to what my otouto has."
xxx
"I thought it was Kamen Rider Decade Dragon Booster, aibou." Ddraig noted coyly.
"He doesn't need to know that right now." Naruto chided him, "It'll ruin the moment."
"Ah, you claim you're not like that kid, but you're embarrassing yourself. That Pawn did the same thing with his Sacred Gear, manifesting his Twice Critical as armor, and yet he still failed against me!"
Naruto frowned at Raiser's words, while they suddenly alarmed Ddraig.
"That kid formed armor from a simple Twice Critical Sacred Gear?"
"Come to think of it, it did look similar to my previous Twice Critical last I saw it…" Naruto noted.
"If that true then… I see. That kid's been implanted with an imperfect artificial copy of my power."
"A what now?" Naruto inquired.
"I'll explain later. Here he comes!" Ddraig shouted, drawing his attention to Raiser who fired multiple flaming hot fireballs at Naruto, who responded with a Dragon Shot-style repulsor beam.
The beam sliced through the fireballs and targeted Raiser, who moved out of the way in time. Not satisfied, Naruto fired another beam at Raiser, who looked to move out of the way and counter when the beam divided into multiple beams, creating a scatter effect with one of the beams hitting Raiser, knocking him into one of the pillars of the arena. Raiser barely pushed himself off the wall when Naruto ran forward and kicked him, making him skid on the wall until he crashed into another pillar.
"Let's speed things up a bit!" Naruto suggested, tapping a button on his Dragon Cell.
There was a whirling sound that sped up as some of the outer layer of the armor was lifted, priming itself for its next action.
"Cast Off!"
"CAST OFF"
The shredded armor pieces rocketed off the Decade Dragon armor, presenting a new, sleeker form with the armor's core exposed.
"CHANGE KNIGHT"
As Raiser flew out of the pillar he crashed in, Naruto pressed a button on his Boosted Gear, a red timer appeared on the green jewel of the Dragon-type Sacred Gear.
"START UP"
Naruto disappeared, alarming Raiser with his speed.
"Where'd he-"
He was suddenly bombarded with hard blows from all sides for a full ten seconds.
"THREE…TWO…ONE"
Naruto reappeared back on the ground of the arena as Raiser fell from the sky all bruised and bleeding.
"TIME OUT"
"It'll be a full two minutes until you can activate the Time Trial ability again, Naruto-san. You can still access your other two forms at that time until Knight Form's fully charged." KOS-MOS explained, showing up on Naruto's HUD inside his helmet, "For now, your speed's down."
"Which is not good aibou, because he's up again!" Ddraig called out, with Naruto turning around to see Raiser all fully healed and cracking his neck.
"Damn annoying brat! Why don't you just give up now before I get serious? I'm practically a phoenix! No matter how many times you attack, you won't defeat me!" Raiser shouted as he rose to the air.
"His healing factor's got to have a limit." Naruto thought, focusing on his sealed that restricted his massive powers, "Limiter kai! Armor Lock!"
Naruto is now running at 30 percent capability that's ten percent more than his 20 percent default. He then pressed another button on his Dragon Cell, causing the armor pieces he rejected to come back on, plus strong metal armor that materialized over it that's increase the armor's attack and defense, but downgrades the speed.
"ARMOR LOCK…CHANGE ROOK"
"This is our clan's gallant hellfire of the phoenix, the firebird, the immortal bird!" Raiser roared as flames enveloped his body, "Take it and incinerate!"
As Raiser formed a massive firebird that seeks to consume Naruto in its flame, Naruto grabbed various pieces on the sides of this Heavenly Dragon Driver to form the large Dragon Ax Hammer, the Rook Form's personal weapon.
The fireball was then fired at Naruto, who enforced his weapon and sliced the attack in half, only to see another firebird heading his way. Naruto negated that too, and another, then another, until Raiser himself rocketed toward Naruto for a flaming tackle. Naruto counterattacked by throwing his ax hammer at Raiser, knocking him off balance and allowing Naruto to grab his leg and violently throw him through a wall and outside the floating arena.
xxx
Naruko whistled, "Oh, ow! With Rook Form increasing the armor's strength and defense, that had to hurt."
xxx
As Naruto telekinetically summoned back his ax hammer, Raiser charged back inside the arena and landed a hard punch, knocking Naruto back.
"You piece of trash!"
Raiser flew back up and charged back down on a downed Naruto, who was playing opposm, as that last attack didn't hurt in the slightest. Standing up on his hands, he propelled up and planted his armored feet into Raiser's gut, knocking the wind out of him as he crashed on the ground. Slamming his fist to the ground, Raiser let fire envelop his body again and charged back at Naruto, who summoned his weapon back in time to block Raiser's lariat.
"That's the best you got?!" Raiser taunted as he successfully disarmed Naruto, sending his weapon flying away.
"Seriously? Is this guy Senator Armstrong incarnate?!" Naruto thought, mentally shaking his head as Raiser threw a flaming punch towards his head, "At least he doesn't have nanomachines. And does he think that measly attack will work?"
Blocking Raiser's attack by grappling his arm with his own, Naruto slipped an item into his fist and proceed to brutally counterattack the Devil by embedding his fist into Raiser's side, the impact echoing as his ribs broke.
WHAM!
WHAM!
WHAM!
WHAM!
WHAM!
WHAM!
WHAM!
WHAM!
WHAM!
After the ninth punch, Naruto chopped Raiser in his neck, forcing him back as he switched the mysterious item to his main Boosted Gear. Raiser growled and threw a punch, with Naruto doing the same, but Naruto moved his head to the side to avoid the flaming punch as his own made contact with Raiser's face with an "EXPLOSION", knocking him back once again.
"Is that all you've- GAAH! GHAAH!" Raiser roared, throwing up blood as he held his face and side with Naruto grinning under his helmet, "T-this pain is…Y-you bastard, what did you do?!"
"A little something extra." Naruto said, revealing the item in his hand, a silver cross, shocking Raiser to the core.
"A cross? You have a cross?!"
"Using all the muscles expect the one that matters. You know Rias-chan's Bishop used to be a nun, right? She is becoming quite the crafty Devil herself, slipping a few items into my pocket before we left for the Underworld, with one of them being this here cross." Naruto revealed, "It must a first, feeling pain from an holy-empowered attack. Quite the game changer in your life, don't you agree?"
"Impossible! The cross severely damages a Devil! Even with that dragon armor, he shouldn't be able to hold- Don't tell me, you gave your entire arm to the dragon within your Sacred Gear?!"
"Mmm, sorry no, but that little stunt I pulled with immaturely bonding with my Sacred Breaker's modified Balance Breaker is making my magical reserves laced with the dragon's power leak out of my left arm." Naruto explained while twirling the cross around.
"That and ruin your stealth abilities along with a bit of phantom pains if left for too long without magical extraction." Ddraig added within Naruto's head.
"Even if that's so, you shouldn't be able to hold that cross, even if you are a part-Devil like you claim-!"
Naruto silenced Raiser by stomping his foot on the ground, creating a mini-earthquake that threw Raiser off-balance, allowing Naruto to get in close. Grabbing Raiser, he kicked him up, grabbed his by his throat, and headbutted him to the ground. Now grabbing his leg, he threw him up into the air and followed him with the flight capabilities of the armor. Scooping Raiser up and shifting him into a reverse piledriver position, Naruto drove Raiser headfist into the ground with a Tombstone Piledriver, temporary incapacitating him.
"Trace On!"
Rolling away from him, Naruto pressed another button on his Dragon Cell shedding the extra armor pieces off his base armor as it then became more sleek and shiny, and his Dragon Ax Hammer reformed into the Dragon Magi Staff.
"TRACE ON…CHANGE BISHOP"
"30 more seconds, aibou!" Ddraig informed his partner as KOS-MOS put a countdown timer on the HUD.
"But since the Balance Breaker's incomplete, you'll be forced out of the armor when the Time Trial ability times out." KOS-MOS added.
"It better not be because any limitation because I don't have any!" Naruto snapped angrily as he put his staff on his back.
"No, aibou. It's because the Balance Breaker's still incomplete, like your friend said. That is all." Ddraig assured his blond partner, calming him down.
"Grrr, all right. It was a fun ride, but it was getting stuffy in here anyway." Naruto grumbled as he rose high in the air in a Mahouken stance.
Put his hand up in front of him, Naruto gathered reiatsu between the palms of his hands, creating an unstable-looking orb that promised pain to the poor sucker on the receiving end of it.
"Do you think that Raiser will turn into a baby if you defeat him?" Kiyomi wondered, putting a finger to her chin in thought.
"He's claims he a phoenix. Phoenixes turn into baby chicks when they die, so lets test that theory. Mahouken: Sekiha Tenkyoken (Magic Fist: Rock Breaking Sky Shocking Fist)!"
Naruto fired the orb Kamehame Hadouken-style down on a prone Raiser, whose head's still stuck in the ground of the floating arena. As the orb made contact with the High-class Devil, it expanded into a gigantic energy sphere that consumed the arena, creating a giant explosion that destroyed the walls and pillars and changed the ground elevation of the floating arena. Surprisingly the arena was still floating, and Raiser didn't even know what hit him as he was sent flying into Naruto in his Knight Form, wielding his Dual Dragon Sabers.
"CAST OFF…CHANGE KNIGHT…START UP"
Sending out a dimensional time-rift that slowed down Raiser in front of him in the form of the Quicksilver Style, Naruto grabbed a card out of his Boosted Gear and telekinetically scanned it on his Dragon Cell.
"EXPLOSION…LIMIT BREAK" the Boosted Gear announced as Naruto proceeded to cut Raiser up at high speeds, slicing completely through his flesh, with the rate of slashes increasing with each second passing (A/N: Metal Gear Rising Revengeance's Blade Mode). With the Quicksilver Style activated, Raiser once again didn't know what hit him and couldn't scream even if he wanted to since in his time the attack happened in one second.
"THREE…TWO…ONE…TIME OUT"
Deactivating the Quicksilver Style, Naruto descended to the arena as pieces of Raiser's body fell in front of him.

"Onii-sama!" Ravel cried, horrified that her brother sliced to pieces in the span of one second.
"Too many similarities with our last mission with Raiden…" Narumi noted, thinking back to the fighting with Sundowner and Armstrong.

"DEFORMATION"
The armor shattered except the Boosted Gear, revealing Naruto, who let out a sigh and looked at the remains of Raiser.
(Indestructible Battle Theme fade out)
"Well that's a letdown. And here I was just toying with the poor bastard."
Naruto shook this head and walked past the unidentifiable pieces of Raiser to leave the floating arena. A few steps later, Naruto stopped when he felt a pulse of energy behind him, and turned around to find Raiser's remains bursting into flames, slowly reforming back into the flaming wielding asshole.

"What's with that guy's rate of regeneration?!" Naruna squeaked.
"Well, it's not like Wolverine-sensei's, that's for sure." Narumi grumbled.
"I think this argument was settled when we saw jackass take a headshot from Rias-chan's powers." Naruko said, jerking her thumb at the redhead.
xxx
"Well, so much for turning back into a baby in a day or so, Kiyomi." Ddraig grumbled to the vixen.
"It was worth a try!" Kiyomi countered, embarrassed.
"At least we know now guys. Well Raiser, I have to say your level of regeneration is impressive. But no matter how many time you come back, the results going to be the same, so I strongly suggest you yield- Hello? Are you listening to me?"
"Uzumaki…NARUTO!"
Holding up his arms, a massive fireball appeared above Raiser's head that was as big as the Sekiha Tenkyoken Naruto fired on him.
"Maybe not…"
Naruto sweatdropped as the massive fireball descended on him and exploded, the flames setting the arena on fire.
"You caught me by surprise was that previous move Uzumaki, but in the end, it's useless against a Phenex like myself!" Raiser stated smugly while panting, "In the end, you're just another piece of trash, just like Rias' pathetic Pawn."
"You sure about that?"
Raiser's eyes widened and looked behind him to find Naruto sitting on one of his flaming wings, fanning himself with his right Devil Bringer hand with a bored look on his face.
"Whew, it's like a sauna."
"Why you!"
Raiser flapped his wings, trying to force Naruto off.
"Whoo! Whoo-hoo!"
Naruto jumped off Raiser's wing, flipping in the air until he landed on his feet, and patting his coattail that was on fire, putting it out.

"Wish you noticed me earlier. Now my coat's all charred. Well, no matter," Naruto shrugged before his eyes turned cold and bloodthirsty, "'Cause I'm done playing around with you. You should've yielded when I gave you the chance."
"How funny, since I was thinking the same thing!"
Raiser's power levels dramatically skyrocketed as flames covered his form until he was covered an exoskeleton-like armor with a sword with the blade in the style of a phoenix wing.
"Still, I must salute a Low-class Devil who carries the blood of Sparda. While in a different league than him, you still put up a hardest fight than I anticipated. That why now I'll defeat you with my power! In the end, I am a Phenex whose power to that of the immortal bird Phoenix. Even with the power of your Sacred Gear, the blood of Sparda, and that damn cross, you can't hope to defeat me-"
"Oh for heaven's sake, you're like a broken record. Can't you just shut up? Hmm? You've just like this prick back at Konoha Academia whose ass I kicked over and over again. I suggest you chose your next words carefully, mister. It's liable to earn you another blade in your from yours truly. Specifically this blade…"
In a flash of dark light, Yamato appeared in Naruto's Devil Bringer hand, with the devil arm Lucifer now resting on his left shoulder.
"You have Yamato as well. No matter. With my Supreme Phoenix Drive activated, my victory and the future of the Devil faction are inevitably secured."
"The Supreme Phoenix Drive? Seriously? That's what you call it? No matter, I have a toy of my own. Hold on, let's see…it goes something like…" Naruto went into a mock thinking pose before holding out his right Devil Bringer hand with his left Boosted Gear hand, with a shell-like seal appearing on the back of Naruto's right hand, "Restriction 666 released. Dimensional interface forcefield deployed!"
When the shell opened up, the atmosphere around Naruto warped in a disturbing fashion, distorting the area as an unnatural flow of power started to erupt from the Twilight Celestial, whose demonic bloodlust was slowly becoming unleashed.
"Wh-What?! H-How did you… No way!" Raiser shouted in horror, recognizing the incantation Naruto chanted, hoping that his opponent wasn't doing what he thinks he's doing.
He heard tales of this power; that centuries ago it was once wielded by the legendary Dhampir, Ragna the Bloodedge, when the world was in endless chaos until the arrival of the Rikudou Sennin around the time of the war between the Three Factions. This power was said to be lost when Bloodedge defeated the Black Beast and disappeared, but now…
"Ehehehehe! Time for a taste of REAL power! Idea Engine Engaged! Code S.O.L., Azure Grimoire: BlazBlue, Level 2, activate!"
The shell-like seal brought out a spiral crest that shattered and became floating runic characters that circled around Naruto; his entire right arm including his Devil Bringer becoming a lethal black and red claw with his whole arm becoming completely black, this right eye turning red with the Eye Flame ability activated, and a dark aura radiating off his body.

"Is that-?" Sirzechs asked, his interest with Naruto increased.
"It is. The BlazBlue." Naruhi confirmed.
"How does someone like him have it such a powerful artifact?" Lord Phenex wondered.
"He's not the only one." Naruko said as she and her sisters held up their hands, the same shell-like seal appearing on their hands, putting nearly everyone on edge.
xxx
"Ah, it's really been a long time since I used Level 2 of my BlazBlue."
"Wha- What the hell is going on?! Why do you have the BlazBlue?!" Raiser demanded, trying to understand how this "weak" Devil has access to one of the universe's most powerful upgrade, "How can this be? A mere Devil can't wield the power of BlazBlue. It'd destroy them! Uzumaki Naruto, who are you? WHAT are you?!"
Naruto let out a cruel laugh that promised pain, "Hyahahah! What's this? You don't get it yet? Oh, this is rich! Come on, take a wild guess! Work those brain cells! It should be pretty obvious by now, right? Of not, here's a little hint: I'm one of the those Uzumaki who has two last names. If you really know all about the Uzumaki clan, then it shouldn't take long for your bird brain to process!"
Raiser frowned under his suit, not sure where was this part-Devil was getting at. Sure he's an Uzumaki, and he has the Boosted Gear and Devil Bringer, but- Wait…
He's an Uzumaki with a…Devil Bringer?!
Something clicked in Raiser's brain as he remembered a story about the Prophecy of The Descendents; a young boy born in the Uzumaki clan, descended not only from the Dark Knight Sparda, but many beings of legend as well. It was then he finally realized who Naruto truly is.
"No way, it can't be…" he realized in horror, "You're the Descen-"
A sharp pain in his gut interrupted him. Looking down, he saw an after-image of Naruto disappearing, as the real Naruto penetrated his armor by stabbing him with Yamato.
"The Descendant? Yeah, but please don't call me by that anymore. It sounds childish, lazy, and stupid. It only describes part of me, but enough about that. Since you've figured it out, allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Uzumaki Naruto, but my full name Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto Sparda, and I'm a Twilight Celestial."
xxx
Naruko, Naruhi, Abigail, and Gina grinned while Narumi, Naruna and the hooded girl giggled as they held the sounds of gasps and wine glasses being dropped on the floor by the patrons. They looked around to see ghost-white and terrified faces of the guests as they speedily zoomed away from the siblings after realizing that they too, were just like their brother.
Lord Gremory and Lord Phenex were shellshocked while the latter's son's peerage were figurally pissing themselves, thanking their lucky stars that the Uzumaki-Namikaze siblings decided to go easy in knocking them out. Lady phenex was automatically worried about her son's wellbeing and hope he has the sense to know that he's outmatched.
Akeno, Koneko, and Yumi were all grinning as well, already knowing the identity of the siblings since their battle with the Fallen Angels, while Rias looked with joy, hope now fully rekindled within her heart.
"Uh-oh, I think we have a bit of a problem here girls. I think some of them just pissed their pants." Naruhi laughed.
"Just spray some Febreze, that usually works." Naruko sugguested.
xxx
"And the time for talking, is over."
Blood sprayed everywhere when Naruto pulled out Yamato. Raiser clutched at his wound, which was slowly starting to heal. Equipping Geminus Anguium: Ouroburos and gathering energy in his arm with Serpent's Benediction, Naruto unleashed a three-hit combo on Raiser with the outward crescent kick Rising Fang that launched him, followed by the overhead turning claw slash Falling Fang that slammed him back down, and finishing up with Devouring Fang, a wave of snake-energy along the ground that popped Raiser back up into the air. Not done, Naruto fades from view, reappearing above Raiser to perform a aerial backward heel swinging Wind Serpent's Fang kick that bounced Raiser off the ground. Raiser tried to regroup by flying away, but Naruto unleashed the Ouroburos chain, catching Raiser ankles and slamming him back into the ground on opposites sides of Naruto five times using Hungry Coils, then stomped Raiser in his face multiple times, grinding his foot into his face after the last stomp.
"I should end this now. Hell, I should've end this in the first ten seconds, but no… Since you have that god-like healing factor, I'm going to turn it against you to make you suffer more. Orochi Burensō (Great Serpent-Warrior Tempering Burial)!"
Sweeping him off the ground, Naruto turned him into a pincushion by stabbing Raiser with multiple energy blades from Lucifer, and then connecting with a backwards kick that sent the high-class Devil sprawling on the ground before the blade violently exploded, riddling Raiser with holes all over this body, making his scream in pain.
"Oh, take your tampon off. Mizuchi Rekkazan (Eternal Coils of the Dragon Serpent)!"
Catching a healing Raiser with Ouroburos, Naruto reeled him in for a barrage of slashes with Yamato, while creating floating Summoned Swords above him. Sheathing Yamato, the Summoned Swords rained down on Raiser, skewering him again.
"Have a nice flight you piece of trash! Jayoku Hōtenjin (Serpent's Infernal Rapture)!" Naruto roared, kicking his opponent with an energy pillar with such force it sent the proud Devil sky-high above the clouds.
"What is this? Am I…being defeated? No… no no no! I can't be defeated. I WON'T be defeated! It doesn't matter if he's the Descendent! It doesn't matter if he's his ancestor is Sparda! ALL of it doesn't matter! I am Raiser Phenex! I am the heir apparent of the elite Phenex clan, and I refuse to lose to this unholy abomination!"
Letting out a loud and proud roar, Raiser manifested a firebird around himself and sped back towards the arena, fixated on end Naruto once and for all. The clouds part as he sped through them, giving a clear view of the red sky. Naruto meanwhile was unimpressed.
"Just a one-trick pony, just like Reynella." he thought as he saw Raiser picking up speed as he sped towards him.
"RRAAAGGGHHH! DIE, UZUMAKI-NAMIKAZE!"
Raiser crashed into Naruto, shaking the floating arena, but his triumphant smirked turned to shock when the downed body of Naruto went "poof".
"A Shadow Clone?! Argh!"
Raiser went down with a Hiraishin Rasengan in his back by Naruto, who used the Rasengan to propel himself in the air and land on it like Soul Reaper. Raising his hand in the air, he used his Weather Manipulation ability and the heat from the flames still burning on the floating arena to draw the clouds above together to create cumulonimbus clouds that started to generate black-colored lightning that took the form of a Western Dragon.
"Time to wrap this up, you piece of shit."
xxx
"What is that?!" Ravel screamed, pointing at the clouds, which started to emit black-colored lightning sparks.
"This jutsu is Kirin, powered by his Weather Control ability. Child's play for those with the blood of Zeus in their veins." Gina informed her.
"At this rate, everyone gonna run out of place to move." Naruko noted as some of the guest were now pressed against edge of the spectator's area, "Aw come on, we've not gonna smite you guys or anything!"
xxx
Naruto brought his hand down, unleashing the Black Lightning jutsu Kirin that crashed into Raiser in 1/1000th of a second, rendering him unable to get away in time, the force of the technique destroying the armor he was in as well. The lightning technique also went through the arena without making a large hole, but it was enough to disrupted the gravitational force keeping the arena up as the arena slowly made its descent towards the ground in front of the Event Hall, slowly gaining speed in the process.
As the arena neared the ground, Raiser shakily got to his feet, his form riddled with cuts, bruises, and internal injured, with his healing factor taking longer than usual to heal him. That the price of using the Phoenix Drive, his healing factor paying the price, which labels the technique as a last resort.
"Where is he?" he growled, noticing that Naruto was nowhere in sight as he clutched his midsection.
"PATRIOT APOCALYPSE!"
A gigantic pillar of fire and darkness engulfed Raiser from below as the floating arena was destroyed. The debris fell into the ground in front of Naruto, with Raiser's body nowhere to be found.
xxx
"I'm sure the loss of your floating arena won't be mourned, Sirzechs-san?" Narumi asked with a deceptively sweet smile as nearly everyone crapped their pants when Naruto destroyed the floating arena.
"It won't be, right darling?" Grayfia said quickly.
"It's won't. I can always build a new one." Sirzechs replied.
xxx
"Remind you never to piss you off, aibou." Draig spoke up, impressed by the display of power.
"Oh Ddraig my friend, you have no idea…" Naruto agreed as he walked away from the carnage, withdrawing Ouroburos and Lucifer.
(Endless Despair Battle Theme fade out)
"Heh, I honesty admit that I've underestimated you, aibou. With your power, you're more than ready to face the "White One"."
"The White One?" Naruto repeated until he realized whom Ddraig was talking about, "You mean your counterpart-"
Naruto was interrupted by an explosion behind him, making him stop and groan as debris flew past him.
"Persistent bastard…" Naruto groaned, looking over his shoulder to see an injured Raiser flying high into the air and back down at Naruto.
"You think he learned." the Juubi, Yoko piped up.
"Ya think, Yoko-chan?" Naruto muttered irritably.
Turning around, Naruto found himself slammed to the ground by Raiser, who then grabbed Naruto by his neck with an insane look on his face and lifted him up.
"What's with the face buddy? You thirsty? Good thing I got something for that!" Naruto said, pulling out a bottle of clear looking liquid from his coat pocket and dumping it on Raiser, "Here!"
"Ha! You think simple water will extinguish my flames-" Raiser started before feeling an increasing stinging sensation where the water hit his face and body, "Wait, is this…holy water?!"
Naruto blinked and frowned when he didn't hear the sound of sizzling flesh.
xxx
"Hey! I thought Devils were weak against holy water!" Naruna yelled, waving her arm childishly.
"There are powerful High-class Devil Devils like Raiser who are resistant to holy water. It won't be enough to finish him." Akeno explained.
xxx
"This is holy water, right?" Naruto wondered, examining the large bottle.
"It is, but it would seem that there are some Devils that has a resistance to holy water. Interesting." Kiyomi noted, making Naruto groaning.
"You gotta be kidding. Now what-"
Naruto stopped as he examined the holy water once again, and then looked at his Boosted Gear, before gaining a mischievous yet evil Cheshire Cat smile.
(Cue Theme Song Power-Up: Trip –innocent of D- by Larval Stage Planning)
xxx
"What's he planning now?" Naruna wondered.
"Knowing our brother, something really evil." Naruko answered.
xxx
Switching the bottle of holy water from his Devil Bringer to his Boosted Gear, Naruto took the latter to the next level, the Boosted Gear Gift.
"EXPLOSION" the Scared announced as the gauntlet gain extended and gained more spikes, "DRAGON BOOSTER SECOND LIBERATION"
"Boosted Gear Gift!"
"TRANSFER"
With the holy water now glowing in the bottle due to the transferred energy, Naruto took the bottle by the neck and cracked it on Raiser's skull, breaking it and dumping the rest of the holy water on him while the shards of glass implanted themselves in his face.
"UGAAAAAA!"
Raiser roared in pain, grabbing at his face as his flesh sizzled and burned from the enhanced holy water as the flaming wings started to die down. Naruto then delivered a roundhouse kick and another kick to his chest to spring off him.
"Now that's what I like to hear!" Naruto said, smirking.
xxx
"Well, that usually works." Naruhi said.
"What's happening?" Yumi asked, "Raiser's flame is…"
"The boosted holy water is rapidly diminishing his spirit and stamina." Akeno explained, "Even the phoenix that rises again from the ashes can't instantly recover from mental damage."
"Mental damage?" Koneko inquired.
"Yes. Like Naruto-kun's Ouroburo proved, Raiser's mind is not immortal."
Naruko shrugged, "Well, it is a mind-rape weapons, but anyone else got the urge to order chicken tenders? That sizzling is making me hungry."
xxx
In desperation, Raiser tried to land a right punch on Naruto, only for Naruto to lazily parry the blow away with Yamato, also injuring the Devil's right hand in the process. Undeterred, Raiser then tries to use a left jab on Naruto, only for Naruto to do the same to his left hand. Left with injured arms that were now barely regenerating, Raiser then attempted to charge Naruto, only for Naruto to slice his chest with Battojutsu and stab him in the gut. The stabbing temporarily stunned him, but Raiser then let out a defiant roar and grappled with Naruto, who easily overpowered the grapple and headbutted him in the head, stunning Raiser as Naruto removed the sword from his gut and slash him once again using Iaijutsu, appearing behind him as he sheathed Yamato with a click and another sword that he summoned during the slash; a Iai Blade made of crystal and light blue in color.
xxx
Grayfia looked in shock, recognizing the new sword in Naruto's hand, "That sword is the holy sword, Soul Calibur!"
"This kid's full of surprises. Rias sure knows how to pick them." Sirzechs said, "But it is expected of those who carries Algol's blood." he added, glancing at Naruto's sisters.
xxx
Blood exploded from Raiser's chest like a fountain as he slowly turned around, only for Naruto to stab him with a O-katana version of Soul Calibur and hit him with the Stone Cold Stunner, popping Raiser up like a trampoline and sending him flying across the ground.
Rushing towards him for the final blow, Naruto had the Boosted Gear Gift absorb Soul Calibur through its jewel, equipped the cross, and combined it with the holy water splashed on his Boosted Gear Gift.
"TRANSFER"
The jewel on the Boosted Gear Gift changed from green to shining blue as the entire dragon gauntlet glowed with a rainbow-like effect. Using Jinton, Naruto appeared above Raiser and punched him hard, breaking his nose and imprinting his head to the ground and leaping away.
"It's over Raiser-teme. Your body's shattered, your regeneration's shot to hell, and I can do this all night. Now yield, or else…" Naruto warned in a cool tone.
"Why? Why are you doing this?! Don't you understand that this marriage is important and necessary to the future of the Devil race?! I don't care if your ancestor is the almighty Sparda! An abomination like you who doesn't know anything shouldn't interfere- AHH!"
Naruto just shot him in the head with Blue Rose.
"Twilight Celestial, thank you very much! Be lucky that wasn't a holy bullet, and I wipe a monkey's ass with that crap." Naruto snapped, getting fed up, "Surrender, it's over!"
"N-Never!" Raiser shouted defiantly, trying to get up but failing, "Rias is mine. She belongs to me!"
"Keh, I really don't like hit opponents when they're down, but for you Raiser, since you referred to Rias-chan as your property, like a trophy, I'll make an exception."
As Naruto said this, he grabbed the gun-sheath at his hip that the hooded girl gave him and slowly pulled the blade out. It was a silverish-black blade glowing with a red aura that radiated evil and madness that didn't affect Naruto in the slightest.
"Wha-What is that sword?" Raiser asked, suddenly on edge after sensing the blade's energies.
"This, Raiser Phenex, is known as the Muramasa Blade. There're only three in existence, with this one being the second. It was made by an old man named Muramasa, who used a piece of my ancestor's, the Rikudou Sennin's, soul in the forging process, therefore letting only descendants of his blood being able to wield this. But the scary part about this blade is that it renders all sorts of healing factors…useless. Hell, even this blade scares me, a little that is. Wanna see if it works on you?"
Naruto slowly walked towards Raiser, who was now scared senseless and panicking after Naruto's explanation of what the blade can too and started to use his remaining strength to crawl away from the Uzumaki and the deadly blade.
"Wait! Wait!" Raiser cried, putting his hand up, "I yield! I yield to you! Please stop!"
When Naruto registered Raiser's surrender, he was suddenly hit with a future vision for the Force that doesn't come up often; that when Naruto put his weapon away and walks off, Raiser would attempt to fry him with his fire, even though it wouldn't work, and only served to annoy Naruto to the highest degree, especially since Raiser just surrendered.
"I'm hearing the fear but I'm not sensing the conviction." Naruto commented, sheathing the blade and holding it high over his head over Raiser, his finger on the trigger, "By the way, I just remembered that you said you were going to kill me before the start of the match. It would be an insult to a Phenex like yourself not to extend the same courtesy, don't you agree?"
Raiser screamed in pure terror as Naruto pulled the trigger on this gun-sheath. The Muramasa Blade shot out of the sheath and into the Devil Bringer hand of Naruto, who caught it by the handle. Time seemed to slow down as Naruto used the momentum to swing the blade down at high speeds, intent on ending the candy ass's life, but stopped at the last second due to an unexpected intervention.
"Onii-sama!"
It was Raiser's sister, Ravel Phenex, who appeared between Naruto and her brother, acting like a barrier with her arms stretched, but was downright scared, her frightened facial expression and shaking legs being proof of that.
That and the Muramasa Blade was a millimeter away from her face, making her brother faint.
"Please stop! Don't take my brother away from me!" she cried, her shaking extending from her legs to her whole body.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, glaring at her, He then sighed and put away the Muramasa Blade as he shifted out of his Devil Trigger Level 1, his expression softening.
"It takes true courage to stand between death and the one you care about, Ravel Phenex. Unlike your piece of shit brother, you've gained my respect." Naruto praised the only daughter of the Phenex clan, patting her on her head, "If you're looking to avenge your brother's defeat anytime, anyplace, anywhere, I'll not too hard to find."
Ravel blushed at Naruto's sudden affectionate gesture and slowly nodded.
"Excellent. I believe that this is my victory, so I'm sure you'll have no problem with me taking Rias-chan back, will you Raiser Phenex?"
A faint whine was heard, reminding Naruto of Loki's own whine after the Hulk smashed rag-dolled him.
"Okay, he's not getting up again." Kiyomi said before laughing.
Naruto smirked, "As Tartar Sauce the Grumpy Cat would say: Good."
[Winner: Naruto Sparda Uzumaki-Namikaze]

(The Aftermath)
(Ending Theme: STUDYxSTUDY by StylipS)
"The match is over." Sirzechs noted, impressed by Naruto's performance, and even finding him a bit fearful due to the fact he knew Naruto would've ended the fight at any time, and has the overwhelming potential to surpass him.
"So it would seem." Abigail agreed, proud of her nephew/cousin for showing why those with the blood of her father should be taken seriously, "I trust the wedding's off, Sirzechs?"
"Obviously. To be honest, it pained me to see my sister forced into a loveless marriage, but as a leader of the Four Maous, my hands were tied." Sirzechs explained, making Abigail scoff.
"And it's reasons like that is why my father and mother are enjoying retirement and away from you guys." Abigail said, shaking her head.
Meanwhile, the youngest of the Uzumaki were jumping up and down in delight.
"He won! He won!" Narumi and Naruna cheered.
"Was there any doubt?" Naruko asked mockingly.
Naruhi gave a fanged grin, "Heh. None. At. All. Our dear brother managed to redeem himself."
Using Jinton, Naruto left the ravaged battleground and reappeared in the spectator's area, with the guests giving him space as Abigail, Gina, the hooded girl, his sisters, their Fallen Angel servants, and Rias' peerage joined him.
"I say that went well." Naruto said cheerfully, making the girls sweatdrop as he turned to an approaching Rias, "Did I keep you waiting, Rias-chan?"
"For too long, baka!" Rias cried, leaping forward and hugged him, "I'm never letting you go again!"
"Same here…" Naruto agreed, returning the hug, "And I have them to thank."
He gestured towards Abigail, Gina, and the hooded girl, the former two grinning.
"Actually, you should be thanking the little one here." Abigail admitted, "It was all her plan to help you reunite with Rias here."
"We both just happened to stumble across her little mission…" Gina also admitted, "Kind of…"
"I see. Is that so? Well then," Naruto bent down to the hooded girl's level, "Thanks little one. I don't know what you gain from this, but you have my gratitude."
"Mine as well. Thank you." Rias added, smiling.
"Hai, onii-chan, onee-chan!"
Before Naruto, Naruko, Narumi, Naruhi, and Naruna could register their shock over recognizing the voice of the little hooded girl, the hooded girl herself leapt at Naruto, losing her hood and revealing an eight-year-old girl who's 4'5" tall with long red hair like Narumi, sparkling blue eyes similar to Naruto and Naruko, whisker-marks on her cheeks like her older brother and sisters, and wearing a black blouse, a black skirt that reach to her knees, black shinobi sandals, and a happy smile on her face
"TSUBAKI?!"
