Naruto X Highschool DxD 11
Disclaimers: Both Naruto and Highschool DxD do not belong to me.
Sorry for not updating for so long! I was hospitalized for a while then I had exams (which isn't over, but will soon be). I shall be updating faster after the exam (I hope, fingers crossed).
Thank you everyone who favourite, followed and reviewed.
"A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, the one I feed the most."
-George Bernard Shaw
"Mephisto, I'm really sorry about what happened but I couldn't allow Loki to be banished from his home dattebayo." Naruto said as he turned towards the devil flying next to him.
"It's really fine, Naruto. I think a non-intervention pact was the best thing we could have between our realm and Asgard, especially when the All-father is still asleep."
"I know, but I was responsible for them banning us. "I'll make it up to you somehow."
"I'll keep you to that but it really is fine." Mephisto repeated. "To be honest I expected the whole thing in ruins the moment you turned everyone orange." Gave the red-blue-hared devil a surprised look.
"How did you know that it was me?" He questioned.
"You're obsessed about orange."
"It was Loki's magic formula though. I only helped him clear the guards." It was Mephisto's turn to be surprised. Naruto guessed that the devil did not expect the small child to work out such a complex formula.
"By the way Mephisto, I met Indra when I was travelling with Loki. He was less bastardy this time and we concluded a non-intervention pact as well." That simply stunned Mephisto. It was incredibly hard to get along with Indra, especially when the said god simply enjoys snubbing the other pantheons. Perhaps the art of Politics was completely lost for Naruto.
As they neared heaven, Naruto weaved Mephisto a protection spell that allowed him temporal entrance into heaven before the group entered the protection of the heavenly system.
Upon landing on the tangible clouds, Naruto immediately went to the heavenly system. After the sealing Vritra, Naruto wanted to check the workings of the system to see if there might be any malfunctioning.
Calming himself to be one with the magic of the circle, he closed his eyes and began to concentrate.
He soon felt the complex mechanisms of the spell and the new addition to its workings. The sealing of Vritra's was a success, the dragon now exist in the world through various sacred gear. It was strange to think that the various parts of Vritra now have their own consciousness despite the fact that they were once part of the same.
The new addition did not seem to lower the efficiency in the running of the system by Michael, Gabriel and Uriel so he supposed he could continue dallying elsewhere with Samael following him.
Mentally congratulating himself on a job well done, he flew to the room where Mephisto was staying.
He had not expected to find Mephisto and Azazel literally rolling on the floor laughing whilst Ophis looked amused.
Regulus was in the room as well and the lion quickly jumped on Naruto, thoroughly licking his face whilst Naruto brushed his hand across the lion's fur.
The moment Azazel and Mephisto noticed his arrival, the fallen angel and the devil laughed harder. Raising his eyebrows to Ophis questioningly as if to saw 'what the hell is happening' got him the answer.
Using her small hands, the dragon god pulled up a drawing for Naruto to see.
He was quite surprised but still could not understand the joke that Mephisto and Azazel were laughing about. The drawing revealed the old man Hokage, yet instead of having a small stump of a beard, the drawing gave the old man hokage a incredibly long and fluffy beard. He supposed that it was quite funny but it was clearly not 'that' funny.
"T-That's you!" Azazel barked out as he continued to helplessly laugh.
Naruto could not understand why fallen angel would call him the old man hokage. After all, it's not like he was going to grow old. Turning to Ophis he simply said.
"What?"
"Ah, Azazel went down to earth whilst you were still on Asgard. He revealed to the human's the light in the sky came from you. When asked how you look like, he gave a detailed explanation. The result is what you are seeing."
Well things now clicked together. He didn't want humans to really worship him as 'god' but if they were to do so, clearly he would not want them to think that he looked as elderly as the old man hokage.
Azazel has another thing coming if he thought that Naruto would overlook this prank. Turning his gaze to the main culprit, he directed a stare emanating dark intents towards the fallen angel who looked quite fearful as he saw Naruto walking to towards him but was still laughing. Even Regulus who was pushed off started whimpering as the killing intent was released.
Naruto's plan in torturing his own creation was however, put on hold when Samael suddenly rushed into the room.
"Naruto-sama! There's a visitor outside the protective circle."
"Visitor?" Naruto turned his head in confusion. Visitors weren't common and the other ones who came were restricted to Mephisto and the fallen angels who contacted Naruto through their crystals before the make their entrance.
"Yes Naruto-sama. It's the man you punched the day the we arrived here."
The man he punched? Will he did punched a few assholes here and there, but if Samael said that it's the man he punched on the day he first arrived then there's only one possibility.
"Ah! That guy who call himself Harma or whatever!" He shouted, remembering the unpleasant encounter.
"I think it was Hermes Naruto-sama." Replied Samael. He ignored Samael's fixture of the name, he meant his name-calling to be insulting damn it. But again, it's not as if he cared much for Hermes or any members of the Olympic pantheon anyway. After all, Hermes was an asshole and Heracles was an asshole so the other members were probably assholes as well.
"Well tell him that assholes like him are not welcome here." Naruto huffed petulantly as Samael nodded at his orders. However, before Samael left, he was stopped by a loud "Wait!" coming from Mephisto.
Naruto groaned as he saw a smile appearing on Mephisto's face. It was quite clear to Naruto of what the devil had in mind.
"Since you're really sorry about what happened on Asgard, you wouldn't mind doing things my way this time will you?"
Groaning out loud, the blonde nodded. Damn him for always keeping his promises.
"Samael, you wouldn't mind bringing Hermes here would you?" He pouted, hearing Samael's shamelessly ignoring his initial thoughts on the matter. Samael had the decently to look towards him, asking for his permission. He forcibly nodded at Samael and the angel quickly left. Disloyal friends surrounded him and Samael was his only true follower in this room! That was his cross to bear.
His only true follower soon returned to the avenue with the Greek god.
Hermes smiled in delight when he saw the group and quickly approached the team. The messenger smile however, turned to a frown when he saw Regulus. The blonde supposed that news of how he stopped Heracles did reach the Olympic gods. Hermes quickly fixed his expression before proclaiming.
"Lord Zeus demands an audience with you immediately. My liege does not appreciate your unbecoming actions towards our pantheon in our last encounter. However milord is kind and is willing to forgive if you heed his call immediately."
Naruto wanted say, "Fuck your Lord!" before punching the messenger into oblivion after hearing Hermes' irritating speech. However, it was his fault that their mission to Asgard failed and staying calm with the least he could do in this situation.
"We would gladly have talks with Zeus. Though I must ask whether this talk is limited Naruto or whether we are all welcome?"
The messenger seemed to be deep in though, though he quickly made his mind the moment he saw the feral snarl on Naruto's face.
"Y-Yes! You are all very welcome." Hermes rapidly blurted.
"Then shall we?" Mephisto stated as he stood up gesturing towards the exit.
Naruto looked towards Ophis who shook her said to say "I'd rather stay here" whilst Azazel took one look at 'old hokage with a long beard' drawing and started laughing once more.
The Olympic deity looked puzzled and the scene but still nodded before he floated out, followed by Naruto, Mephisto and Samael, leaving Ophis listening to Azazel's laugh and rants.
Travelling to Olympus was rather easy. They simply flew over to a large mountain before Hermes opened a portal from it to lead the group to Olympus.
Olympus seemed to be a combination of Asgard and 'Heaven.' The architecture was quite similar to what Naruto saw on Asgard, however the buildings were on solid clouds. He supposed that they might be shameless copycats who saw the beauty of heaven and decided to copy that by creating solid clouds.
Hermes quickly led the group towards a large circular room where three thrones were situated. The left throne was painted dark blue and was decorated with lustrous pearls and seashells, the centre throne was pure gold and was continuously radiating light, and the rightmost throne was pure black onyx.
Sitting on the 3 thrones were some of the weirdest figures Naruto had ever seen. One the blue throne was a muscular tanned man with black hair, he supported a colorful looking robe that might be confused as a bathrobe. On the golden throne sat a muscular long bearded, black haired man, he supported a white and gold robe. On the black throne sat the most bizarre figure. The figure was literally a skeleton dressed in black robe emanating a visible black and creepy aura.
"Welcome!" The three of them voiced as one. Naruto eyes visibly bulged simply because the skeleton spoke.
"I am Zeus and these are my brothers, Poseidon and Hades." Said the man dressed in gold and white. Naruto nodded at the introduction before giving one of his own.
"I'm Naruto. That's Samael and Mephisto." He said pointing at the angel and the devil.
"I have heard of you." Zeus spoke. Naruto was not sure whether there was sarcasm in his voice but he sounded genuine enough.
"I must ask you the question I have by continuously pondering on. Why did not punched Hermes and why did you stop Heracles?" The god continued. His question simply caused Naruto's eyebrows to twitch in irritation.
"I punched him because I was angry in your treatment of Prometheus and I was angry at his annoying proclamations. I stopped Heracles because the guy was a bastard, trying to hurt Regulus like that." His answer received a nod from Zeus.
"I do believe that Hermes has that affect on people and I always wonder whether my punishment on Prometheus was too hard, it was after all done in my anger. You arguments for your actions against Heracles seemed to be well justified as well. I suppose I could not hold anything against you." Zeus concluded. Naruto was quite stunned really. He did not expect Zeus to be so understanding; it was a good thing though.
"Well thanks, but why did you call me here?" He said as he rubbed the back of his head, accepting the praise.
"I have heard news that you were contacting the various pantheons of this universe. May I ask why?" nodding, he answered.
"Mephisto and I had an idea that magic should be shared between us and the humans. That way we could always be supportive of each other in our actions."
"Well I believe it is a great idea, encouraging friendships between all should encourage mutual aid, peace and prosperity. I see no reason why we should not-" Zeus' words were cut off by the evil looking skeleton that shouted.
"Brother! You cannot do this! The other pantheon will view us as weaklings if you do. After all, he intervened in your judgments, attacked one of your followers and took away your offering." Well when the skeleton said it like that, Naruto would obviously felt wrong. Hades was not done as he turned his glare from Zeus towards Mephisto.
"And you. I doubt that the Morningstar Lucifer would agree with your actions." Mephisto's face warped angrily with Hades' comment.
"Morningstar's opinions never reflect mine. We have never overstepped our boundaries between one another."
"You think so? Even with your actions in being friendly with the other factions? I'm afraid even you might have overstepped you boundaries this time fafafafa!" Hades spoke as he looked at Mephisto with a creepy grin, made creepier by the fact that it was a walking skeleton that was doing it.
"Enough Hades!" Spoke Poseidon as he angrily glared at Hades. "We're here to find a solution for peace, not to wage war. May we have a few minutes to ourselves?" The god of the sea targeted his question at Naruto who nodded. The door to the room then opened, a signal from them to leave.
"What was all that about?" Was the first question he asked Mephisto the moment they left the room.
"You do remember our conversation about devil-kind right?" He nodded and the devil continued.
"Well, as I once said, the ideals of the 4 Maous do not reflect the ideas of all devil-kind. The Maous wanted the exploitation of human and devil superiority above all other race and pantheon. Many, such as I disagree, seeing the disadvantages of war. Yet the 4 Maous forms the devil's dictatorship and they are still the rulers of our realm. My actions in forming peace with the other pantheons go against the will of our rulers. However, they should not have known about our mission. Unless someone-" Mephisto was cut off as the door opened once more for them to move in.
Seeing Zeus' resigned face, Naruto could predict the outcome of this mission as well.
"I am incredibly disappointed to say that after our discussions, the most that we could offer you is a pact of non-intervention." As expected, but at least it wasn't war, thought Naruto.
"We'll take it." He said, wanting to quickly conclude the deal seeing Mephisto's distressed face.
"We'll take our leave then." Naruto continued, seeing Zeus nod, he quickly moved towards the exit with Mephisto and Samael.
"You okay?" He asked Mephisto after they were outside the building.
"I should go back to the underworld immediately." Mephisto's distressed face was not something that Naruto was familiar with. Feeling that there was something serious happening in the devil's world, he quickly decided that he should accompany Mephisto to the underworld.
"I'll go with you. Haven't seen Sera-chan in ages." The devil nodded rigidly; again it was a gesture that did not fit with Mephisto. The devil was always full of flair.
"Would you mind if we simply open the portal to the underworld here?" His distressed cry caused Naruto to nod quickly.
"Samael, you wouldn't mind going back to heaven alone right? I'll follow you back later." Samael seemed to have sensed the distress from Mephisto as well and nodded as he said.
"Not at all Naruto-sama."
Mephisto summoned his magic and opened a portal to the underworld where he and Naruto stood. They disappeared after they were enveloped in a blinding light.
Samael felt uneasy. He never saw Mephisto-sama that distressed before. It was sad that he has to fly back on his own but the pressure of the situation did forced Naruto-sama to travel with Mephisto-sama.
Sighing at the tension. He opened his wings. Before he took off, a cold feeling touched his shoulders. Turning back, he saw Hades' skeletal hands lying there.
"I'm sorry but Naruto-sama and Mephisto-sama had just left."
"It was not them that I want to have a conversation with. It's you." The skeleton spoke with a creepy nasal voice.
Now that caused a chill to move up his spine. Whilst Naruto-sama could probably defeat this skeletal abomination, he could not. If this skeleton decided to be aggressive, he might perish.
"Now lad, don't look so afraid." How could he not when the man he's talking to have hollow eyeballs, meaning none at all.
"Your creator is quite the powerful one is he not? I could sense it the moment he entered this universe. But I could also sense the moments when he is losing his powers. Even though he is still powerful, he is losing them here and there is he not?"
The voice inside his head screamed 'yes!' The creation to the heaven's system drained Naruto-sama's power. Naruto-sama long sleep was a clear example of how tired he was and that was simply its creation. Samael knew that Naruto-sama was also supporting the system by linking his magic to it continuously. Even though it was Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and occasionally himself who operates the system, the largest drain of magic occurred on Naruto-sama's reserve.
"Naruto-sama's powerful. I doubt he'll have a problem in dealing with you." He stated after seeing Hades' eerie smile.
"Yes. Yes. He is indeed powerful. But what if there are more drains on his powers. His little projects here and there are always draining them is it not?" Hades knows, that much was clear. Yet the skeletal abomination was correct. Could Naruto-sama further diminish? Could he protect Naruto-sama like this? He was quite strong when compared the other angels but in the face of Hades or Mephisto-sama, he was simply too weak. How could he protect his creator like this?
"Mephisto seemed distress when he left, do you want to know why?" Hades spoke as he moved in closer to Samael who was paralyzed in thought. "I'll tell you. There's a war coming. True, your liege is powerful. But will he be strong enough to pass this war?" Hades then moved his skeletal head to Samael's ear as he whispered.
"I can grant you power. Unlimited power. The power you need to protect your liege. You might not want it now but there will come a time when you will. When that time comes, I will be waiting for you in Cocytus, the deepest part of the underworld."
Hades' body disintegrated into ashes as he finished, leaving a stunned Samael pondering on what he had been told.
The sight that greeted Naruto and Mephisto was not a friendly one.
Mephisto's mansion was on fire whilst small fights erupted on the grounds between the guards and soldiers.
"What is going on here?" Mephisto bellowed, stunned at the sight around him.
The fighting stopped as both the guards and soldiers looked to Mephisto and Naruto standing at the mansion's entrance.
One guard quickly answered.
"Mephisto-sama! They are trying to kill you! Please escape!" His speech ended as a spear was pierced through his leg. Shocked and angered at the soldier action, Naruto used Banshō Ten'in on the man, dragging the royal soldier to him and Mephisto.
"Explain." Spoke Naruto, the fighting around them seemed to have stopped as all eyes were on him and Mephisto.
"The 4 Maous new edicts marked you as a traitor to the realm."
"Edicts?"
"Edict 6 declared that beings with white wings and beings with black crow-like wings are to be kill on sight. Edict 13 declared that devils are forbidden to have friendly contacts with other factions. Your relationship with this man broke edict 6 and your illegal acts at making peace with the other pantheons broke edict 13! Offenders of these edicts are enemy of the realm and are to be kill on sight if these refuse capital punishment!" The declaration stunned Mephisto.
"Well fuck your edicts!" Shouted Naruto, he quickly formed hundreds of shadow clones which moved towards the imperial soldiers before draining them off their magic, causing them to all faint.
"Lucky that they were all so weak." Huffed Naruto to a still stunned Mephisto.
"Guess I'm not welcome here anymore." The blonde joked; it did lift up the mood and earned a resigned smile from Mephisto.
"Neither am I it seems." Said the devil.
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Hide I guess, I won't follow the Maous' senseless killings."
"I suppose I should return to heaven so that we could be prepared for these edicts as well. You're always welcome in heaven whenever you want to visit okay? I guess I won't be seeing Sera-chan for a while, wouldn't want to cause problems for her and her family tell her I'm sorry okay?" Mephisto gave him a small nod and a small smile.
"I will." The devil said as he created a teleportation circle.
"Mephisto-sama!" Came to various cries of Mephisto's household servants. "Please take us with you! We do not wish to follow the new Maous, we refuse to follow them even if we were to become outlaws!"
Mephisto accepted their cries and created another teleportation circle for them to use. Turning to Naruto once more, the devil gave a small wave and a small smile.
"Till then." The devil spoke as the magic activate, transporting Mephisto and his servants to a safe destination.
"Till then." Whispered Naruto as he teleported back to heaven.
