Upon reaching the border of the shadow render territory oni lilysha and ko made camp and began to scout out the area in order to further know how and what they are fighting.
"So what have you been doing all this time it's been what 20-30 years"
"I have been training mostly but when I wasn't I was looking after rose and looking for kai"
"So what kind of training have you been doing?"
"Mostly speed and strength training I've also been working on my specialty"
"So when we get back you want to spar?"
"Yea I don't see why not"
Before further talk could be, initiated lilysha showed up with news
"Hey they're moving we got to go they're heading for the city"
"Alright everyone go akuma we don't know they're power so I will be in the back giving covering fire and picking off the stragglers"
"Alright let's do this"
Ko went akuma turning his body to be that of a hellhound. A hellhound was a very large wolf with black fur and hints of bloody flames flickering through giving them an unholy glow.
Lilysha followed suit turning hers into her demon form. Lilysha in her demon form lost her arms and instead grew wings as well as a tail with a stinger at the end, she gained claws at the ends of her feet and her wings were serrated.
Both were combat ready so oni taking out his old bow began launching volleys of arrows to initiate the fight and draw attention to him rather than the city. After the first arrow had hit and killed the first shadow render, they turned and charged after oni attempting to kill him in a blind rage. During their blind charge, they had missed ko and lilysha getting behind them and beginning to slaughter them because they were unaware of what was going on. The exile were beginning to get to close so oni pulled out what most knew to be a jashinist scythe. He began hacking and slashing with no concealment of his bloodlust and much needed release through the blood of his enemies. The exile were trapped in the valley of which they had attacked from on one side tow raging demons tearing through them like paper on the other an unstoppable force as they did not have the means to black or parry the scythe that had already claimed more than the demons combined.
When the slaughter had finally finished the exile were all dead and the two demons reverted. Oni stood covered in blood panting at the fact that he had just killed upwards of two thousand exile in one battle knowing lilysha and ko had taken half his number each. The battle done they began to make the long trek home.

"Tell me rose why do you have the eye of the reaper"
"Oni saw me fall in the battle with the demon who possessed kai and lost it he went akuma and him fived his body couldn't handle the power and formed the demons redemption as a last resort and as an attempt to vent the power. He didn't make it and while in the realm of the Shinigami he gave me his eye to revive me saying he will return on the day that sounds wreak havoc on the lands where once barren places now breathe life"
"Are you sure he said that"
"Positive"
"But what could it mean"
"I don't know"
'Groan'
"Hey hiruzen you couldn't have just told me you had to send enma," a tired minato said as he arrived
"What's the matter the job not what you thought it would be"
"You're not wrong but what was so important that you sent enma he seemed like he was sad"
"Oni is dead"
" . . . .. . . . . . . . . ." minato could not believe it. The one man to match him in single combat the man who had single handedly defeated him and kakashi with throwing a punch. Oni was dead.
"Who did it?"
"he did it to himself the man over there with rose is the phoenix himself and apparently a new breed of demon was spawned since he last checked the man before you can match oni in single combat but oni won't kill him so he let himself go five and he went akuma to make sure he went down. Rose fell beforehand and that alone sent him over the edge so he snapped he gave up."
"Oh I will arr-"
"no you will not we both know the village does not like oni so I am holding a small private funeral until his return you are welcome to bring those who respect him but if someone steps out of line during this event I will kill them"
"I'll go get the others"

"We are gathered today to honor the loss of the greatest man to ever grace us with his presence. He was a friend. He was a guardian. He was a demon. He always put others before themselves. If you needed help, he would drop everything and help you he was a good man and a better brother he truly earned his respect among the close combat fighters of the elemental nations. He earned the respect of the marksman of kumo 'a roar of approval rang out' the brawlers of iwa 'a mass war cry rang out in sorrow' the swordsman of kiri and iron 'a mass scream of sorrow rings out' and the fighters in all the nations we respected him and he showed us what we had lost if we just asked. It is time we showed him respect everyone if you are able launch the jutsu he would know you for into the air to let him know that he will be missed. ON THE COUNT OF THREE . .THREE.
A mass of jutsu of all elements from all nations were launched but ne=one at another person. What was meant to be a small gathering had turned into a mass gathering of upwards of thirty thousand fighters come to pay respects to the one who helped them in their time of need.

After the funeral everyone paid their respects and went home but not a one attacked another, instead they consoled each other they acted as friends instead of foes. Team seven got back, nothing seemed out of the ordinary but Naruto, and sasuke went straight to minato intending to find out who had caused the destruction that had occurred.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Thank you for paying your respects"
"It's only right he's the one that taught me that not respecting your opponent aint tight," a man from kumo said (you know who this is)
"Hey dad who destroyed wave"
"lord fourth I demand you tell me who did that they have to teach m-" sasuke di not get to finish as he found himself pinned to the wall by seven swords from one man and seven swords form seven others.
"Choose your words carefully boy that man has earned my respect and I will kill you if you disrespect him" came the response of the other demon in the hidden leaf.
After a lengthy cool down and an even lengthier explanation, everyone went back to their place of rest.

"What"
"It's gone now hey your eye changed back I though you wanted me to check it"
"Kai I dint do that"
"Your mark is gone to"
"Oh no"
The demon was making his return very soon.

A/n now this is not the first time a funeral has been held for oni but they do this out of respect for him and to help the process go faster. Now as you probably saw oni has helped a lot of people either directly or indirectly and they respect him enough to put aside their differences long enough to pay respects to a fallen warrior. Naruto will be getting more screen time next chapter as well as the return of the demon but until then if you have questions let me know in the reviews until next time bye.
