Chapter 14 The end of tyrant
"So Lucid… Round Two?" Said Naruto flaring out his power surprising everyone
Kurama and Yume wonders just what happened at the time he lost conscious. While Lucid looks at Naruto and wonders just how did his strength grow so fast.
"Human… just how did you have this power?" Asked Lucid
"To be honest… I don't know at all. All I know is… I now have the power to take you down." Said Naruto after looking at his body then point his sword at Lucid
"Then let us see about that!" Said Lucid as her butterfly wing shine brighter as her power rose up.
"Shit… to think she still can be stronger than this." Said Kurama covers his eye
"Will Onii-chan be okay?" Asked Yume
"Right now… All we can do is believe in the brat." Said Kurama
Naruto smirks as he goes into his stance getting ready. He then charges at Lucid using '3rd stance: Rising Blade'. Lucid tried to send many butterfly to him but Naruto already foresee that as he uses 'Sanrenzan' to shred them all to piece and then switch to 'Falcon Dive' and strike her. Lucid skid back with a bleeding wound. She then looks at him angry and send out a green dragon and shooting dragon breath at Naruto.
Naruto dodges fast as Lucid had already predicted that as she sends out many 'pink slash' at him. Naruto could only smirk as he rapidly dodged as he uses 'Blade Flash' to send multiple slashes to Lucid. Lucid looks angry at the thought of a human managed to injure her… in her own realm no less.
Lucid aura then starts to turn red as she shouts out as she shatter the realm. The platform floating around as Kurama and Yume managed to land safety on a platform. Naruto stands on the platform as he boosts himself up.
The green dragon appear as it keeps on floating around blasting the dragon breath at Naruto while Lucid using 'Dimension Slice' to make invisible slashes appear randomly.
If this was old Naruto, he might not be able to predict the slashes, but he is not… anymore. Naruto closes his eye and dash to Lucid as well as he dodges the slashes and dragon breath. Lucid starts to get impatient as she sends out many butterflies and raining down Golem on to him. The butterflies were shredded by 'Sanrenzan' then he also using '2nd stance: Shouryusen' to send the Golem crashed to each other.
Naruto then uses 'V-Matrix Iaijutsu: Phantom Blade'.
1st hit, 2nd hit, 3rd hit, 4th hit were delivered to Lucid. But at 5th hit, his attach were suddenly reflected. Naruto narrowly dodge at that.
"Let see if you can hurt me now human!" Said Lucid as a barrier surround her.
Naruto then just hold his stance and mumble "V-Matrix Battoujutsu: Engetsuzan"
A crescent moon appeared out as many slashes similar to Lucid 'Dimension Slash' deliver to Lucid as Lucid barrier was render useless.
Naruto then follows up with 'Advance Battoujutsu' as he delivers all 8 stances to Lucid.
Lucid after being hit by many attacks as she landed down with her wing tattered. Naruto then boosting himself up and mumbling "Battoujutsu: Hitokiri Strike"
With one swift movement, he appeared behind Lucid, twirl his sword and slowly sheath it with a 'click'.
And then… Lucid wound open wide as her power pulse out. Lucid fall down as she slowly disappearing with a smile on her face.
"So this is my end huh? It's… not bad… at all." Though Lucid as she dispersed into many sparkles of light.
Naruto then was about to fall face first on the ground if not for Yume holding him up.
Yume smiled and said "You did it… You did it Onii-chan" as she hugging him
Then the place starts to shake as Kurama said "Celebrate later. Right now we need to get out of here. The place is starting to collapse."
Yume then lend Naruto a hand as she and Kurama get him outside of the now collapsing town.
At the human world, Hiyori who was fused to Princess Ichikishima now is struggling to control her bloodlust. She is right now staring at Yukari.
"Does it hurt?" Asked Yukari
Hiyori breath out and said "Ironic huh? You used to be the one possessed by an Aradama, and I was the one trying to kill you. Now… I am an Aradama."
"Now that things are like this, Juujou, you must be destroy Princess Tagitsu." Said Yukari
"That was my intention from the start." Said Hiyori
Yukari starts to walk to Hiyori. Hiyori shout out "DON'T COME NEAR ME!"
"How many times did you slay me through your future sight just now?" Asked Yukari
"How many ways have you cut me down?" Asked Yurakri as she stopped near Hiyori
"That won't clear away your hatred toward me. Don't be swallow be the Aradama. Hold firmly to yourself. That would be what that male Toji told you if he's here now right?"
"You are the one who inherited the power of the Hiiragi. The other side of the Origami. That's the reason why you can fuse with Princess Ichikishima." Said Yukari
"Then why… WHY IS IT ONLY MY MOTHER HAD TO SACRIFICED HERSELF?! WHY IS NOT YOU AS WELL?!" Shout out Hiyori as she grabbed her left growing eye and said "Damn it… I can understand it through Princess Ichikishima. You truly want to release my mother from her duty. You saved my mother and Kanami mother by sacrificing yourself to Princess Tagitsu. But… if there's no one to blame, then where do I direct my anger to?!"
"It seems fusing with Princess Ichikishima had brought out her anger. Even with Naruto words, she still can't let go…" Though Yukari
"Destroy Princess Tagitsu. Take her down, absorb her into you and becoming the evil god." Said Yukari
"Becoming an evil god?" Asked Hiyori
"At that time, I'll end everything." Said Yukari
At the Netherworld, Kurama along with Yume are breathing heavily after the run. Kurama then said "Damn it. Never though the place would collapsed like that."
"That had to be expected. Since Lucid is the one who created that town. She basically is the pillar of that realm. If she died, then so is that world." Said Yume
"But still, all the work to get the weapon… and we came back empty hand." Said Kurama looks at Naruto
"Ahaha… sorry about that. But I managed to get something from the trip so… it's not a loss." Said Naruto looks at his clenching hand,
Then Naruto gears starts to shine up surprising them. Naruto brings up his Okatana as the katana then starts to morphing to…
"Wait… this is…" Said Naruto as in his hand was his objective… The Arcane Umbra.
"Well well… it seems like we are not returning empty hand at all." Said Kurama smirking
"I think we also have some bonus as well." Said Yume as his suit starts to morph as well as they turn into a set with his sword.
"Wow… I can literary feel the power in them." Said Naruto looking at his new gear
"Yeah… I'm starting to think you can even take over the world now…" Said Kurama amazed with Naruto raw power rolling out.
"Please don't joke like that Kurama." Said Naruto sweat drops
"So what now Onii-chan?" Asked Yume
"Now… let us go back. I have the feeling that it is hectic in the human world right now." Said Naruto as the image at the 3rd trial in his mind.
At the human world, Hiyori right now is engaging with Princess Tagitsu. The two are now move fast like lightning as the sounds and sparks of sword clashing ranging all over the field. But Hiyori managed to gain the upper field with Yukari help as she took down Princess Tagitsu.
Hiyori knee down and absorb Princess Tagitsu as Kanami and Mai arrived.
Yukari saw them and said "Juujou had defeated Princess Tagitsu. And she had taken them all into her body. She had become… an evil god."
Yukari then draw her sword and said "And now… The two of us will go to the Netherworld."
Hiyori looks back and said "I see… so this is what you mean by 'end this'." Said Hiyori
"I won't have to, if you can suppress it. But how long can you do it? I had done it for 20 years. But you, on the other hand…"
"Remain like this for 20 years? That seems impossible for me." Said Hiyori cut her off
"Is that so?" Asked Yukari
"But I won't ask for your help." Said Hiyori as her friends gather
"Hiyori… Let's go home." Said Sayaka grabbing her hand
"Oi… I know it is hard… But endure it until that idiot is back. I'm sure he had some ways to help." Said Kaoru
"I might burst at any moment, If I was overflowed, then the disaster like 20 years ago… no, it might be worse." Said Hiyori snickering
"Hey Hiyori-chan…" Said Kanami gathering everyone attention
"I mean… you did defeat Princess Tagitsu, after all. So… would it be alright… to continue our match from the tournament?" Asked Kanami
"Kanami…" Said Kaoru
"I know the timing is off… but I was just thinking this is my only chance to face off Hiyori-chan when she is this strong." Said Kanami
"Kanami…" Said Hiyori
"You are not going to be around anymore right?" Asked Kanami
"Kanami!" Said Ellen upset
"To tell you the truth, after seeing Nii-san go back with injury like that, I have train myself harder so I can be beside him. And right now, I think I can beat you single-handedly if I gone all out." Said Kanami
"So now that I'm an evil God, we are equally?" Asked Hiyori upset
"I'm not sure about that…" Said Kanami mocking
"Kanamin, that's enough! I'm really mad now!" Said Ellen
"Damn it… Where is that idiot at the time like this?" Asked Kaoru
Hiyori then walks up draw her sword and said "I'll get to see you at full strength huh?"
"Yeah… I'll use it all." Said Kanami as she draws her sword
"Wait you two… You are all acting strange." Said Ellen
"Don't blame me for being unfair." Said Hiyori
"That's also one of your talent as well." Said Kanami
They then charges in as Kanami deflected all of Hiyori strikes. After the last hit, Kanami managed to slice the lighting in two.
Hiyori now is down said "So even with evil god power, I still can't defeat you huh?"
"So you're going to give up and get send to the depths of the Netherworld with the Aradama?" Asked Kanami
Hiyori could only close her eye at that then she felt something wet drop on her. She opens her eye to see Kanami crying
Kanami then hugged her and said "I won't let you! I absolutely won't let that happened! Why don't you trust me?! Why don't you trust Nii-san?! Why don't you trust us?! Please trust us a little more!"
Hiyori felt her tear as she smile at that. Then suddenly she felt something is going to burst out of her.
Hiyori pushed Kanami out as Noro surround her surprising other. Then emerge out was… Princess Tagitsu
"You're not the only one with the scheme… Hiyori Juujou." Said Princess Tagitsu as she stabbed Hiyori
Hiyori then dissolved into Noro and got draw into Princess Tagitsu. Princess Tagitsu then stands up grinning.
"Hiyori-chan?" Asked Kanami broken
Naruto, Kurama and Yume are now start to going back then suddenly Yume point at the sky and said "Naruto-niichan… What is that?"
Naruto and Kurama look up and saw the sky being split. Naruto then senses it and said "Damn it… That bitch had been fully recover."
"Then we better get back… fast!" Said Kurama
Naruto would be able to but… his battle with Lucid make him still hasn't fully recover yet
Naruto could only hope that he's not too late.
Right now, the girls are at the dormitory. Mai brings out a tray of cookie and said "You have some too, Kanami-chan."
"Hmm… I dunno… but if I eat too much, it'll probably interfere with tomorrow mission." Said Kanami
"Don't worry… I'll take over if that happened." Said Kaoru
The group look surprise and Kaoru said "What is it?"
"Are you okay Kaoru? Do you have a fever?" Asked Sayaka putting her hand on Kaoru forehead
"What do you mean by that? And don't put the hand after eating donut on my forehead. It's sticky!"
"Ahaha… then I'll take this." Said Kanami as she takes a choco mint donut. She then said "Um… It's good. Now I can see why Hiyori like it."
"Kanami-chan… please stop it." Said Mai
"We all know that you're in a lot of strain." Said Ellen
"Even I can tell you're forcing it." Said Sayaka
"Forcing? C'mon, do I seem that off?" Asked Kanami laughing
"Don't laugh if you don't want to!" Said Kaoru
"… I told Hiyori that I will beside her… but at the most crucial moment, all I can do is watch. I can't do anything to help her, I couldn't do a single thing for her." Said Kanami as her tear swell up
"Kanami-chan… we all are feel the same way, okay?" Said Mai as she hugged him
"She's right. It's the same for all of us." Said Kaoru
"We also couldn't keep our promise." Said Sayaka
"I'm sorry that all the hardship has been force on you." Said Ellen
"So please Kanami-chan… you don't have to tough it out anymore." Said Mai
Kanami heard that as she could only cry.
After that she then said "I'm sorry everyone for being so much trouble."
"It's no trouble at all." Said Ellen
"You're always the one helped us." Said Sayaka
"Yeah… just like that certain idiot." Said Kaoru
"I wonder… If Naruto were here, will thing going to be different?" Asked Ellen
"Nii-san is doing his best. So we have to do our best too. So… to keep being trouble, I have a favor to ask." Said Kanami
Meanwhile, at the outside Aradama had start to appears and rampaging as the soldiers are no match for them. Naruto, Kurama and Yume who was just stepped out of the portal and Kurama said "Oh great… this is like when the Juubi rampaging."
"Eh Juubi?" Asked Naruto
"I may tell you on some other times. Right now, I think you have bigger priority." Said Kurama points at the building where the Noro tower come from.
Naruto looks at the tower and said "I see… Yume can I leave them to you?" as he points at the fight down the road
"Don't worry Onii-chan… I'll take care of it." Said Yume as she jumps down
"Kurama, can you…?" Asked Naruto
"No need. I'm on it." Said Kurama as he also dive down,
Naruto smiles then looks at the tower of Noro and said "I'm coming for you now."
At the battlefield, the girls beside Kanami and Yukari are fighting the Toji from Princess Tagitsu side as they were surrounded.
"Let's do this every one!" Said Mai
The girls nodded as they were about to charge in then someone crashed down the field.
"Eh? Enemy?" Asked Ellen
"Close enough." Said a voice that the girls know too well.
"You're…" Said Ellen
"The Ex-Elite." Said Kaoru
"Ya… long time no see." Said Yume waving her hand
"That's… Yume Tsubakuro." Said the Toji
"Charge at her." Said the Toji as they charge in
"Oi Ex-Elite look out." Said Kaoru
Yume smirks as she draws her sword and in instants, all of the Toji are down as she said "So bored~!"
"She took them down so easily…" Said Ellen
"Wait… if you're here… then…" Said Mai as the girls starts to realized it
"Yep… He's on his way now." Said Yume looks at the building.
"… They are coming." Said Sayaka as the army of Aradama charges in.
But then an energy blast then strike them down making a big explosion.
"T-This is…" Said Mai
"Could you slow down for a bit brat?" Asked Kurama with a booming voice
"Eh this is…?" Asked Ellen
"It's Kurama." Said Yume
"Woow… So this is his real form?" Asked Kaoru looks at Kurama (Note: Kurama stills the same but except that his appearance is like an Aradama)
"I want to finish this fast so I can see Onii-chan beat Princess Tagitsu." Said Yume
"Hmm… Seeing the brat beat that Princess…? Hell yeah!" Said Kurama as he then charges in the pack of Aradama
"C'mon let's go. The sooner we clean up down here, the sooner we can see Onii-chan fight." Said Yume as she speeds up
"… Well you heard her every one." Said Mai sweat drops
At the rooftop, Kanami and Yukari are now in front of Princess Tagitsu.
"So what do you wish with me?" Asked Prncess Tagitsu
"… Give Kogasumaru back." Said Kanami
Chidori then suddenly starts to make sound as it points to Princess Tagitsu.
"I see… She's alive Etou." Said Yukari
"Eh?" Asked Kanami
"Hiyori Juujou is still alive! Inside Princess Tagitsu. The resonance is Kogarasumaru will and knowledge!" Said Yukari
"Hiyori-chan is…" Said Kanami slowly as she resolves herself and charges in.
Naruto who is now speeding toward Kanami and he then felt that Hiyori aura somehow… wrong. Like it was mix. He really need to speed up and fast.
Yukari was being knock aside while Kanami and Princess Tagitsu are now at the statement. Sword clash sounds and sparks keeps flying as in Kanami head she could only think about bringing Hiyori back.
Kanami pushes Princess Tagitsu back then shout out "GIVE HIYORI-CHAN BACK!" and slash down causing a rift.
Inside Princess Tagitsu, Hiyori hearing Kanami could only chuckle "Good grief."
She then got into her stance and with lightning speed, she charges straight through the rift and came out crashing down on Kanami.
"Your voice really carries." Said Hiyori
"Hiyori-chan…" Said Kanami
"So you little chick had managed to become a couple of lover." Said Princess Tagitsu as she raises her sword up.
But then she had to dodges a slash dive down at her as she skids back.
"Now now… don't you know it's rude to interrupted this heartwarming moment?" A voice rang out as a boy land down between them
"You're…" Said Hiyori
"NII-SAN!" Said Kanami
"Sorry for the wait you two and good job Kanami." Said Naruto turns back smile
"Where have you been?! Do you have any idea what we had to go through?!" Asked Kanami
"… Sorry about that Kanami. And Hiyori… I'm sorry for not being there for you." Said Naruto
Hiyori could only look at Naruto then suddenly "Naruto look out!"
Princess Tagitsu then charge in with her sword as Naruto just smirks and bring out his sheathed Kanana to blocked.
"So you are finally here! I finally have a chance to make you pay!" Said Princess Tagitsu
"To be fair, you try to kill us and destroy the world." Said Naruto
"But now… I have recover my full power… Just for this moment!" Said Princess Tagitsu as she flares up her power
Naruto could see that she is even stronger than before as the surround starts to rumble. Naruto then said "Yukari… get those two out of here. I'll handle her."
"Are you mental? You saw how powerful Princess Tagitsu is…" Said Yukari
Naruto then starts to release his own power and equipping Arcane Umbra Set as he smirks and said "She's not the only one who gotten stronger."
Yukari could only shield her eye from the pressure the two emit out. The sky rumble with thunder, the earth shaken and violent wind blew.
At the HQ, the operator said "Report… there's an abnormal signature near Princess Tagitsu."
"View it to the screen" Said Sana as the screen then view out…
"Naruto?" Asked Akane
"Took the brat long enough…" Said Sana smiling
At the battlefield, the soldiers are now shaking as the power surge through the field. One then said "Just what happened up there?"
"Our hope… has arrived" Said Mai smiling
Back to the rooftop, Naruto said "What are you waiting for? Get them out of here."
"No!" Said Kanami
"Kanami…" Said Naruto
"No… I won't leave you to fight alone." Said Kanami as she stands up
"Sorry about that… but I have to agree with her on this one." Said Hiyori
"Before… we could only watch you as you fight Princess Tagitsu… Right now… I want to be in this fight too." Said Kanami
"You always said that I have to rely on my friends… It's time for you doing the same." Said Hiyori
"She's right." Said Kaoru as the other arrived
"We won't let you fight alone Naruto-san." Said Mai
"We'll be in this together." Said Ellen
"Hmmm…" Sayaka nodding her head
"You won't stop me from join in Onii-chan." Said Yume
Naruto looks at them then Yukari said "And you heard them…"
Naruto then just looks down at that and he turns to Princess Tagitsu and said "If there's a slightest bit of danger, fall back immediately."
The girls nodded then Princess Tagitsu said "Then shall I even this odd?"
Princess Tagitsu then create another copy of her and said "Now… shall we begin?"
The fight then broke out as they uses 'Jin'I' to enter the battle of speed and skill. Sword clash ranging out as Naruto and the girls fighting Princess Tagitsu

Naruto using 'Advance Battoujutsu' from the start as he delivers many hit to Princess Tagitsu. Naruto using at the 5th stance then the damage start to bounce off Naruto force to uses 'V-Matrix: Engetsuzan' to disable her defense as he then continues at the 5th stance to 8th Stance.
Princess Tagitsu skid back holding her wound and said "To think there's a human like you."
"Excited huh? Does fighting with sword fun?" Asked Naruto smirking
"You could tell?" Asked Princess Tagitsu
"I know someone with a similar trace." Said Naruto as he then speed up again using 'Sanrenzan' to deliver multiple hit and then using 'V-Matrix Iaijutsu: Phantom Blade' to deliver many slashes at her.
Princess Tagitsu jump back as she then recall her copy back.

The girls speed up as they rapidly strike Tagitsu as Princess Tagitsu counter them all and send them skid back. She then target at Mai but was blocked by Sayaka. Yume and Yukari takes advantage of that and strike her down but she just dodge and slice both of their 'Utsushi'. Yume managed to get away in time as she is safe.
"It seems that you're different from them." Said Princess Tagitsu
"This is not the first time I had an opponent like you." Said Yume as she recall the battle with Lucid
"Hou? Then let see if you can back it up…" Said Princess Tagitsu as she speeds up as Yume starting to be push back.
"Her Jin'I is level up?" Asked Mai
"Let's go. We can't rely on the Ex-Elite forever." Said Kaoru
"Um." Said Kanami as they charge in
"A flock going in~!? Very well then…" Said Princess Tagitsu about to charge in then suddenly she starts to dispel.
She then retreat back fast and mumble "Tch… is that brat is that powerful?"
The girls then was about to strike her then she disappeared.
"Eh? Where did she go?" Asked Ellen
"It seems she's return back to the original." Said Kaoru
"It seems that your brother is too much for her to not using her own power." Said Yukari
"Let us go as well." Said Kanami
But beside Yukari, Yume and Hiyori, no one else can go faster than that.
"Go already Kanami. Make sure that idiot not getting out of his hand." Said Kaoru
Kanami nodded as she and the other who can race toward.
Back to Naruto and Princess Tagitsu.
"So this is beyond space and time." Said Naruto
"Yes… but to think you're this strong to follow me." Said Princess Tagitsu
"I may not the only one." Sighed out Naruto as appeared out the other who follow him
"It seems we are here on time." Said Yukari
"Kanami… you follow us here?" Asked Naruto
"Like I said before… there's no way I'll let you fight alone." Said Kanami
Naruto sighed and said "Okay… if you want to help then follow my signal. Can you do that for me?"
"Huh what are you going to do?" Asked Hiyori
"The final blow of my plan. When I gave you the signal, go with everything you got." Said Naruto
"Got it." Said Yukari as the other nodded
Naruto then dashes to Princess Tagitsu as he using 'Sanrenzan'. Princess Tagitsu parry them and summons out many Aradama.
Naruto then said "Princess… did you forgot you're not the only who can do that" as he uses 'Falcon Honor' and summons out two giant samurais.
"I know…" Said Princess Tagitsu as she speeds up at him. Naruto had foreseen that as he then uses 'V-Matrix Iaijutsu: Phantom Blade' to push her back
"If it the old me, that would have work." Said Naruto
Princess Tagitsu fall back then using 'Damage Reflection' but Naruto already charging in as the crescent moon appear as Naruto mumbles out 'V-Matrix: Engetsuzan" to cut off her reflection. He then uses '5th stance: Dankuusen' as he appears behind her giving her a slash and then start to concentrate all the buff in his sword.
Princess Tagitsu then slowly turns back as second slowly pass
"1 second until she fully turns around… Plenty of time." Though Naruto then he prepares her sword as he then uses 'Hitokiri Strike'.
Naruto flashes through Princess Tagitsu as he slowly sheath his sword with a 'click'.
The wound on Princess Tagitsu open up in instant at that. Naruto then said "NOW EVERYONE!"
The girls receive the signal then each use their ultimate skills to strike Princess Tagitsu.
Princess Tagitsu being hit then a white light flash as Naruto mumbles "Sorry about this girls."
At the outside, the gate start to close as the other stay behind waiting for them as then they see Yukari, Yume, Kanami and Hiyori fly out and land in front of them.
Yukari stands up and then chanting closing the gate. Kanami saw that and said "Wait what are you doing? Nii-san still in there."
"He was the one told me to do that." Said Yukari
"No stop! Onii-chan still in there." Said Yume
But it was too late as the gate close. Kaoru could only tremble in rage as she throws Nenekirimaru and shout "THAT IDIOT!"
"Nii-san… NII-SAN!" Shout Kanami
Hiyori could only felt her tear fall out. Mai hold her mouth in shock, Sayaka look shocked and Ellen hug Kaoru to comfort her.
(Epilogue)

Kaoru and Sayaka are joining the Elite for Akane bodyguard. Yukari is still recover and everyone return to their own duty.
And then… the unfinished final had been reestablish as Hiyori and Kanami in the final.
Sana then walks up and said "Both contestant ready? Then…"
Suddenly a rift appeared in the middle of the field making everyone on guard. Then drop out was…
"Ouch… Damn it Tagitsu… can you be at least let me land somewhere softer?" Whine out Naruto
Naruto then looks around and raise his hand weakly "Uh… yo… how is it going?"
BONK.
"Ouch… Easy with the merchandise baa-san." Said Naruto

"He's going with me first." Said Kanami
"I want to as well." Said Mai
"I want my spar…" Said Sayaka
"Onii-chan going with me first!' Said Yume
"Does these girl realize they are confessing in the middle of the field?" Asked Sana sweat drop
"I think they are more happy about seeing Naruto alive more than care for that." Said Akane
"Girl girl… okay okay… I do own you for making you worry after all." Said Naruto makes peace with the girls
"But the question is… Who is going first?" Asked Kurama making himself known
The girls froze at that. Naruto then hold Kurama by the neck and said "You stupid fox! The last thing we need is you adding the fire."
"Why not? This is fun after all." Said Kurama grinning
"I'm gonna kill you later…" Said Naruto as he saw the girls starting to draw their Katana.
"All right then girls… This is the battle royal. The rule is simple, no killing each other and the one still standing is the one will have the first slot. Follow by the one who fall down first will be the last slot. Are you ready?" Asked Sana smirking as she understands what Kurama trying to do
"Sana-baa… What about my right?" Asked Naruto whining
"Shut up brat… It's your fault after all. And besides, any man would love to be in your position too so stop whining." Said Sana as she struggling to control her laugh
"She is not even bother hiding the intend to get back at me." Though Naruto god-smack
"Hey… but it's not bad right? You deserve to have someone love you for who you are. After all the shit you go through, you deserve this." Said Kurama
"I'm not doing this for getting a harem." Said Naruto deadpanned
"I meant from the 'other' place. You need to have someone love you and show you that you are best at being… well you." Said Kurama
"Huh… I guess so huh?... Thanks Kurama." Said Naruto
"Yeah yeah… now I think you should get out of the field since the match for you as a price is about to start." Said Kurama snickering
"You are not going to let this go, aren't you?" Asked Naruto
"Hell no!" Said Kurama laughing as they leave the area.
(Konoha)
"I don't understand. Nadako never have this problem before." Said Minato
"I already check the seal and there's no problem with it at all. It's like the charka goes berserk on its own." Said Jiraiya
"What about the soul? Is there anything wrong with the soul?" Asked Minato
"The soul? What did you seal the soul in Minato?" asked Jiraiya
"Huh… what are you talking about Jiraiya? Of course it is… Naruto…" Minato said then he starts to remembers
"Eh Naruto?" asked Jiraiya
"OH MY GOD! WHY DID I JUST NOW REMEMBER HIM?!" Said Minato worry
"Calm down Minato." Said Jiraiya
"I can't Jiraiya. I don't even remember seeing him at all. It's like… he disappeared." Said Minato
"Don't worry… I'm sure he's still in the village. I mean… the brat couldn't possibility walk out of the village without us knowing is he?" Asked Jiraiya not knowing how wrong he is.
Meanwhile at the cave far from Konoha, a one eye red hair Aradama brandish his sword and said "Such nature richness… and no Toji in sight. This is the perfect place to be our new home."
