This took quite a bit longer than I would have wanted but I have to say I actually did quite a bit of thinking for this chapter and the future of this story during this time. Never have I researched so much for a chapter beforehand looking at both historic information and fictional information. Also I had folks visiting, wasn't getting enough sleep and my health was suffering so that didn't help. Anyway not going to hold you guys up
Chapter 21: Acknowledge the Past
- Previously -
Her eyes dilated as blood flew in the air. She looked down shakily to see a large golden blade a foot wide going out of her chest as it ran her through from the black diagonally and coated red with her blood. The weapon came at her from behind but she never saw the man move. Was there more than one enemy here or was it something else?!
Her vision started to blur as she fell to her knees. Large amounts of crimson fluid spilling down her frame onto the concrete ground. "T-This isn't... a n-normal s-sword..."
The blond man had an arrogant disposition about him as he looked on in satisfaction when Raynare feel to her knees from her injury. He frowned when he saw her arms shake. Her fingers clawing at the ground as she tried to push herself up.
He moved up his hand and several more shining weapons appeared in a ripple of golden light in the air above Raynare.
"Still twitching like a dying insect. Steel your body and I will end this quickly for you."
He swung his hand down and the floating swords stabbed down on her body. Her eyes gleamed in a split second and she pushed back on the ground dodging back out of the way of the swords as they skewered the ground and skidded onto her feet. She sweated a little as blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. The man before her looked somewhat surprised as she managed to stand with the large sword still running through her chest.
'I-It hurts...' She grimaced from the pain as she closed her eyes and an orange glow started to emanate from her wound around the sword as her sacred gear activate. She opened her eyes as she stood straight up with a serious look in her eyes ignoring the blade in her chest. 'But Naruto-sama trained me for worse.'
"I don't know what your deal is but it's going to take a lot more than this to kill me."
The man smirked and rose an eyebrow at her. "Oh is that so?" Raynare's eyes widened as 10 swords appeared in the air behind him all pointed at her. She could feel that they were all enchanted weapons of some kind. "Well then allow me to devote a little more attention to you. You should feel honored."
The swords shot straight at her like bullets. She crossed her hands in front of her face and guarded. Flat forcefields of orange energy appeared in front of her as the swords clashed into them in a flash of sparks. She grimaced before her eyes gained a light glow to them and sword stabbed into her shot out of her back in a spray of blood. A symbol appeared over her breasts glowing through her clothes. It resembled a cross overlapping a smaller circle with broken lines around the perimeter of it making the outline resemble that of a diamond.
The swords started to cut through her forcefields but were suddenly stopped in place when the magic walls morphed and shaped into large shields of energy resembling the symbol on her chest without the diamond.
The man's eyes widened at being stopped. He flicked his finger and two pikes appeared and shot around the shields. They went straight after her before she could move and impaled into her left thigh and lung. She vomited a lot of blood as she panted before glancing back up at Gilgamesh with a defiant grin on her face that hit him the wrong way.
"You disgusting life form are you even alive anymore?!" He looked at her chest seeing the symbol and got a familiar feeling from it. "And he's contracted you too?"
Raynare blinked as her before straighting her posture again and ripped the pike out of her breast ignoring the burning of her hand from the contact and the one in her leg. Her injuries gave of smoke as they tried to heal as she put her other hand on her hip and gained a prideful grin much like what her master would have.
"So you are familiar with this? Allow me to formally introduce myself then. I am Rei Nare, formally known as Raynare. I am under Uzumaki Naruto's peerage system under the class Shielder. As long as my master has need of me I will not let my body become vain. To serve as his shield till the end. You may call me the Undead Angel."
The man scoffed as more weapons appeared behind him. "Not like it matters. A shield can only last so long against an archer and deteriorates with each hit upon it anyway."
*Fweep!*
A stream of sound suddenly went by blowing the mains hair to the side as his eyes widened and he held his ears. His eyes were ringing, just a little more and they would be bleeding from the intensity of that sound. He squinted as he glared at the source of it.
"Looks like you two are causing quite the mess here. What's your deal goldie? You're pretty bold to think you could go after one of us in this city and think you could get away with it without anyone noticing." Tayuya had an irritated look in her eyes as she held her flute loosely in her mouth and had her hands in her pockets.
Gilgamesh didn't think much of her as he shot a sword at her and turned back to dealing with Raynare. "All you are is a noisy pest."
*Fweep!*
He blinked at the sword again and turned to see Tayuya blowing the flute in her mouth without the use of her hands and had it pointed at the sword. It was stopped in place as sound waves rippled across it before a crack appeared on it and it was deflected away into the wall of a building.
"Well since Raynare just introduced herself I might as well too now." She took off her hate to show her head as horns started to grow and took a bow.
"I am Tayuya, peerage member and Succubus Banshee hybrid. No set parameters. A saboteur at heart but you can me the Siren." She looked back up at him while she bowed with a sinister grin showing, her eyes having turned yellow with black sclera.
"So a noisy insect. You're still an insignificant obstacle albeit an annoying one."
Her grin dropped as she stood back up at the response. She took the flute out of her mouth and threw it into the ground at her feet stabbing upright into the street. She formed a circle with her hand and held it up in front of her eye looking straight at the man. Her arrowheaded tail emerged out of the back of her pants and smacked against the flute causing it to vibrate and ring in the ground. She shot her energy in her body down to her feet into the ground, flowing into the flute. The ringing grew louder as the sound waves started to distort the space around it.
"Noise." A tunnel of concentrated sound shot straight at the man and hit him in the chest. The man blinked at it weirdly feeling no pain but just minor irritation in his torso.
"I assume there was supposed to be an effect to accompany that little trick of yours?" The look in her eyes grew harder as her tail swiped down and hit the flute again harder this time generating more noise. She put both her hands together and formed a bigger circle.
"Oscillation." There was a ripple in the air before the man's eyes widened as he was suddenly hit by an even more concentrated and intense soundwave centralized in at his chest. The force of the sound blast actually pushed him a ways back into the wall of a building and continued to push at him.
He felt no effect from it so he just looked disinterested. A second later he started to sweat and pant. He looked confused as his pulse increased, his body felt hotter, his chest was bounding from the bass going into his ribcage. His veins even started to bulge across his body. He looked bewildered before looking back at Tayuya as he tried to grab at his chest.
"You wretch what is this?!"
"Shishi~ do not underestimate the usefulness of sound. Just with soundwaves or vibrations alone I can cause all kind of side effects to wreck havok on your body. Organ problems, breathing problems, hypertension, increase your pulse, force hallucinations, induce fear. Hell I can even cause heart failure. I could make your chest explode but that would probably take too much time with your body's durability."
Tayuya had a prideful tone. The man start to anger as he push himself off the wall slowly with pure strength as he gritted his teeth.
"I've had enough of this game. Though I must admit you caught me off guard." He materialized 5 broadsword in the air in front of him and shot them straight at Tayuya. She stopped her audio assault and put her hands in her pockets and smirked. "My work here was done anyway."
The swords quickly closed in on her and right when the first one got close an object dropped down from the sky stomping the sword into the ground and breaking up rocks.
The was a glowing of eyes shining through the dust as the swords continued on. The figure dropped to his hands and twisted kicking one sword away to the side. He keep spinning on his hands and did a split kick knocking the next to swords away. As the last one came right at them headed for Tayuya's face the person suddenly flipped up in front of the sword with intense speed, enough to actually dodge it. It looked like he vanished from sight on the ground to appear in the air upside-down as the sword went by inches under him.
The figure shot his hand out grabbing the hilt of the sword stopping the point of the blade right when it was inches from Tayuya's forehead. He flexed his muscles and without warning jerked his arm and threw it back at it's owner. The power of the throw in that one arm was strong enough that it was like a shell from a tank had just been fired as it made it's own gust of wind.
The man's eyes widened in shock as he quickly made several more weapons appear out of then air to intecept the sword and catch it. They locked around the sword catching it inches away from the man's own face but the force of it continued as the pressure kept going and the building behind him was suddenly destroyed and blown away. All 5 swords were stopped and countered within a second's time.
"Looks like I was right." Naruto stood in front of Tayuya with his hand smoking.
"As always. B-But did you have to cut it so close?"
Tayuya's legs shook before she fell down to her knees and shivered as sweat ran down her face at that near death experience. All her previous bravado gone. Naruto glanced back at her and saw she was shook up but otherwise unharmed. "You're alright now. I'm just happy you fully trusted me with your life."
He turned his head back towards the scene in front of him. He looked at the man who grinned in anticipation at the main event being here. Naruto then glanced to the side over at Raynare was. She had blood coating different parts of her body along with different parts of her body emitting steam as they healed. She had her hands on her knees as she hunched over a bit fatigued. There were numerous weapons scattered around her. Some clean, some coated in blood.
He looked back at the man and looked eyes with him as they slitted. Naruto leaned forward and took off. The man gasped at the movement and looked to the side where Raynare was only to see a gust of wind. He looked back where Tayuya was to see Naruto there again with his back to him holding Raynare bridal style.
'Fast!'
Raynare blushed a bit at being held like that as Naruto spoke.
"You're getting ahead of yourself Gilgamesh." Naruto's voice had taken its dominant tone. The now named Gilgamesh crossed his arms and rose an eyebrow at being address.
"So you did know of me. I came all this way. How rude to go run off somewhere and not give the acknowledgement of a greeting to someone such as I? It's only the polite thing to do. You ten tailed imitation."
Naruto picked up the sneer in his tone. "Look I don't know what you think I am. But I am no imitation."
"A filthy mongrel, born as a runt, inheriting the Juubi's blood by luck, but looks like nothing more than a mangey mutt. You may have gotten far by luck and maybe even skill of your own but I have no reason to believe you to be the true accursed Juubi!"
Gilgamesh held his hands out as he spoke out boastfully, shooting out line after line of insults at Naruto. With each shot on Naruto the shadows on his face darkened before one of his eyes turned red at the end and his body gained an ominous aura. He tilted his head and smiled psychotically.
"Gil-kun that's not a nice way to talk about the one who raised you~."
The tone was too eerily sweet and even had a feminine undertone to it that made something in Gilgamesh snap as he grew murderous, his hands shaking in rage.
"You...!"
They both moved and a split second later Naruto was in front of him when Gilgamesh took a step forward Raynare having been dropped with Tayuya. They both froze in place. Gilgamesh had a handful of weapons pointed at Naruto poking his body. Each was angled at several lethal areas, on his back there were blades pointed at his kidneys, armpits, and spine. One Naruto's front there was a sword pointed at his liver, stomach, heart, and a sword resting on the side of his neck. Gilgamesh was at a highly advantages position and could do away with Naruto quickly now. The reason why Gilgamesh wasn't pressing his advantage was because of the state Naruto had him in.
Naruto was frozen mid dash to stop from impaling himself on the swords. He had in his hands Yami in her giant scythe form resting an inch from Gilgamesh in the prime angle to decapitate him.
Both reading the situation Gilgamesh gained a sedated expression while Naruto had a mischievous one with a slight condescending feel about it in his narrowed eyes.
"You... what? You wanna push it? Wanna go for a double suicide? Because I'll be happy to take you up on it. See I can press just a little more and kill you right now but that would kill me too. You might be all for that actually. Seeings as how long you've lived this might be a means to an end for you. But you see I can kill you instantly right now when you try to kill me. With where your swords are pointed I would die but not right away and that time I would have I would likely be able to get someone to heal me and therefore leave your death in vain." He glance back over at Raynare before looking back at Gilgamesh.
"But that would leave me overly vulnerable and I doubt you are alone. Plus this isn't my only body right now so if you did manage to kill me I would only be weakened temporarily. So here is what we can do. I know you despise my existence. I know I did a lot of wrong things in my first life. Why don't we have a cease fire right now. I'm not at full strength right now and I know for a fact that you didn't come prepared for an all out fight either. Lets kill each other at a later date when I'm in one place shall we? Because as it is now I'll come out of this much better than you will."
Gilgamesh slowly retracted his swords to which Naruto followed by moving his scythe back as he looked at Naruto hard. "You really are the original Juubi..." He said that as an assured statement and not as a question.
Naruto stepped back and spun his scythe around him. "Yes and know. I was the Juubi in my last life but I'm Naruto now. I'm more than what you think I am."
Gilgamesh looked at the scene before him. Jumping at the chance to kill each other at the same time would not be a righteous victory befitting that of a king. Also if he fought him alone it would be foolish. He was not one to underestimate his opponent frequently so he knew Naruto was a dangerous target simply because he watched some of his battles and knew the Juubi. Also if he fought him now there was no guarantee that the other 2 girls here wouldn't help him out and anyone else in the town may come to aid. No now that he has confirmed his own suspicions about Naruto and made his presence known it would be in his best interest to go prepare for his battle now.
Gilgamesh let out a breath as his swords vanished and he turned on his heel to walk away. As he departed he looked back over his shoulder at Naruto.
"Fine then I will let you and your little pets off easy this day and give you a reprieve. Just for old times sake I will give you a reasonable amount of time before I fight you. After that I will be back to exterminate you for good."
Naruto looked hard at the man's back. 'He put emphasis on "I" like he plans to send others in his stead in the mean time.'
He continued to watch Gilgamesh retreat as he vanished into the air. He continued to watch for a bit longer until he was such the man's malicious presence had left the city. 'For old times sake I will overlook the trouble you caused here today since all you did was basically scratch Raynare. But next time you show up history be damned I will kill you even if it kills me.' When everything finally calmed Naruto let out the breath he had been holding before he suddenly buckled and fell to his knees. He put his hand to his mouth and choke, coughing up a little blood into his hand.
"Naruto-sama!" Yami reverted out of her scythe form and held on to him to keep him up right. Raynare also looked worried for Naruto. Tayuya look critically at Naruto confused at what happened.
"Did you get worked up that much just from us being in danger or did he actually hurt you?"
Naruto shook his head as he stood himself back up. "I may... have worked myself up a little. Even if I knew he would show up I didn't think he would outright attack you guys."
"What you were worried about us?"
He let out a breath before looking back at her and gave her a warm smile. "What am I not allowed to worry for those I care about?" Raynare and Tayuya despite herself blushed upon hearing that which Naruto caught. "It's not like I keep you two around just for your bodies. I don't want to lose any of my ever growing family."
Tayuya looked down embarrassed as she fidgeted with her flute. "W-Why are you being so damn mushy right now?"
"I have no problems speaking the truth Tayuya-chan."
"..."
"Your bodies do make things better though."
"Ass." Her face twitched in irritation. He had a talent for both setting and destroying the mood and she was sure now that he almost always did it on purpose.
Yami still looked at her wielder's face with a serious expression. He looked fine on the outside but something about him somewhere inside felt like it had been weakened. "Naruto-sama don't you think you are stretching yourself too thin? It can't be good for your health."
Tayuya looked up at them confused as she stood up on her feet again. "Health? What's she talking about? Are you sick or something?"
"Nah I'm fine. Don't worry about it..."
He signed as he went over and picked up Raynare again bridal style.
"M-Master I can walk!"
He glanced down at her as he started to head back and chuckled. "I believe a master should spoil his servant every now and then. Now come on I might as well tell you all about that man who attacked you guys."
Tayuya shrugged and followed after them. She wasn't hurt or tired at all so she didn't need any worry from him. Yami went up in a flash of light going back to her own realm for the time being.
- 4000 years ago -
"I'm so bored! I'll die of boredom at this rate." A figure in a dark robe walked through an arid climate. They walked aimlessly through a city of some sort with buildings made of stone and dried brick.
"Aww I need something to do. Yaweh doesn't want me around his little angel kids anymore since I messed around and made them able to fall. All Akashi does is sleep now. I've left my influence with those devil people. They aren't much yet but they should grow in time. The demons nowadays have no real need for me even if I did create them to counter Yaweh's humanity along with the animal people. I should probably think of a name for those animal people. Maybe beast men, war beasts, or something. Eh I'm sure time will give them a name on it's own. I should just kill myself and wake up again some time in the future and see how things have progressed by then. This is a dead moment in history after all. Nothing is even going on."
The lone figure stopped in his steps as he heard a commotion from a crowd of people gathering not that far away. He made his way over to the collection of humans, not out of curiosity but mostly because he had nothing else to do.
He pushed his way into the crowd not being bothered by anyone as if they automatically wrote him off as not being there. He made it to the front to stop at a fenced in area to see a rough looking man in a dirty tunic holding a leather whip in his hand. He cracked it repeatedly in the direction of a fight that had everyone's attention. There was a lion snarling about as it tried to slash into it's opponent. Seeing a lion fight anything was always entertaining for a human. But what caught the figures attention was what or rather who the lion was fighting. The lion was fighting a boy.
'Slave trafficker eh?'
A young boy who couldn't have been older than 8 or 9. The boy wore rags and was covered in dirt and grime as he was focused in on the lion in front of him. His red eyes making his gaze all the more powerful. He pushed his small arms out putting his hands against the lions neck holding it back as it tried to bite a chunk out of him. The boy had small cuts on his body from where the lions claws got him but surprisingly the were much more shallow than what you'd expect them to be.
As the struggled against each other the lion suddenly lunged forward grabbing the boy's head in its jaws. There was an outcry from the crowd upon them seeing that. The boy's dropped away from holding the back the body of the lion and went limp. A second later the boy's arms shot up and grabbed at the lions mouth. He forced the jaws away from his head instantly before twisting his hold causing the lions neck to snap. The beast fell down to the ground, it's life quickly leaving it's body.
The figure watching stood still as the crowd chattered excitedly over what they just saw while some just cursed him. Slowly a sharklike grin spread across the figure's face as if he just found something very interesting.
After the little scene was over and things calmed down some hour later the same figure headed towards the tent where the slave owner stayed. Going inside it was dingy and had a pungent smell that he could ignore easily. The figure removed their hood to show a handsome young man. He was tall at a nice height and had black hair in wild spikes that cast a shadow over his eyes. The eyes were heterochromic as one was red with a slit while the other was violet with a single concentric ring around the pupil. Beneath the eyes there was dark shading making it look like the person look either very suspicious or very tired. The broad whisker like marks upon their cheeks certainly made them look more suspicious. This was Menma the original Juubi.
He looked around and could see various people caged up. Most were adults as there were very few children and they pretty much all looked uninteresting to him.
Going by the different cages he had to think that this slave trader had to be fairly wealthy relatively to be able to own this many humans. He stopped in front of the cage of the one he had been looking for. He looked forward and saw the boy sitting in the cage against the wall with his knees to his chest. He noted while the boy was young and in poor living conditions his body was surprisingly well trained. Upon arriving the boy looked up at his visitor to make eye contact with Menma. He got a weird feeling from him and stood up subconsciously and went over in front of him.
Menma smirked and tilted his head down at the boy. "You're an interesting boy aren't you? You're not even human yet you allow yourself to be ruled by one."
The boy's eyes widened at his secret being picked out so quickly.
"S-Sir how do you-?"
"I have a wide knowledge of many things and can sense the godly blood overpowering your human blood. From what I can tell your power mainly comes from your mother. Whoever she was must have been one of the new (now old) gods. Why do you let yourself be captive amongst these human trash when you should be grinding them into fertilizer beneath the heels of you feet?"
The boy lost his surprised expression for a calmer one and picked up a stick off the ground and began to slide it along the metal bars. "I don't stay here because I can't get away. I stay here because I am bored. I wanted to experience a life of poverty to see how lesser beings lived."
Menma blinked at that. 'Because he was bored?!' Those words sounded so familiar to him. He knew right then that he liked this boy.
"Boy how would you like to come with? If you surrender your untapped body to me I will cure you of your boredom and give you power you never dreamed of!" He held up his fist as violet aura engulfed it. The boy's eyes widened as he somehow knew that that little bit of power this man showed was enough to take out the little town they were in. He then blushed and looked to the side fidgeting.
"If you're willing to then I would be grateful. But I am still young so please be gentle."
Menma blinked at the boy then played back what was last said in his head before his eyes shadowed. He reached through the bars and grabbed the boys head with one hand lifting him up off the ground.
"Boy I did not mean it in the way that you are implying."
"Ow ow ow okay I'm sorry! It hurts!" Menma stopped squeezing the young boy's head and let go of him as he fell to the ground holding his head in pain.
"Who the fuck are you?! What are you doing in here?!" The boy looked behind Menma to see the greasy fat man that was the slave owner walk into the tent. Menma gained a dark grin on his face that was only seen by the boy.
The form of Menma's body shifted becoming curvier and more feminine. The transformation of body and height was written off as a trick of the mind as it was a little difficult to make out the appearance of someone who had their back to you in low level light.
Menma turned around to great the man. The man blushed hard when the hood came off exposing an unbelievable beautiful and sexy woman. She had long wilder black hair though tamer than before with alluring eyes and full lips. Her body had the kind of curves that men and women would kill each other for. Hell animals would even kill to have a taste of this goddess.
"Ano, my apologies I seem to have gotten a little lost."
The fat man snorted when Menma walked up to him and leaned forward feigning innocence. The robe had gotten tighter with the change so her large breasts bounced from the simple action.
"A-Ah no problem miss! Is there anything I can do to help a pretty lady like you?"
Menma put a finger to her mouth cutely and looked to be lost in thought.
"Well actually... that boy over there! I want him!" She pointed back behind her at where the boy sat in the cage.
"That street rat?! He's useful but surely I can get a lady like you something more suited for you?"
"Nyoooo~ I want him!" Menma pouted childishly causing the man to blush even more at the cute expression the the presumably grown woman. The boy in the cage just looked on with a sweatdrop not sure what to think of this situation.
"But m-miss please!"
"Come on please?! How about~ if you give him to me then I give you something you've never experienced before?" Her expression quickly went from childish to sultry and seductive giving the man a nosebleed as his mind went through the possible implications of what she could mean.
- Present -
"You slut..." Tayuya was deadpanning at Naruto as they listened to the story in the living room. Everyone who didn't go to Kyoto was there as Naruto sat in an armchair facing everyone.
"T-Tayu-chan that's mean. I'm not like that..." He looked hurt and teary eyed suddenly looking very delicate which made Tayuya shiver. 'Yes you are. Yes you fucking are.'
Rias who was sitting on the couch with Akeno looked over at Naruto confused at what he told them.
"Wait so the original Juubi was female?"
Naruto did not miss Xenovia hold her fist to her face in a quiet 'Yes!' at the question. As if an advocate of feminine righteousness.
Naruto held up his finger at the question. "Actually... yes and no."
"While the 3 brothers that were Yaweh, Akashi, and Menma are believed to be male we were all actually at our root genderless. It's just that Yaweh and Akashi kept more to either genderless bodies or male ones. Juubi original started with a body that was that of a male but because of boredom started to flip genders frequently to sate boredom though most don't know about that tidbit of information."
"Whore."
"Tayuya you're a succubus! Your opinion on the matter holds no weight!... And as I said it wasn't like that!"
Issei raise his hand like he was still in school to which Naruto pointed at him.
"Um so does that mean you have a female form?"
Naruto facepalmed as he for once thought Issei wouldn't be predictable. He sighed in acceptance as he knew this would come up eventually anyway. A then ray of light went over his body as he became a few inches short and his body curvier. His hair grew longer and silvery having an actual divine glow about it. Everything else matched the Juubi's female form. His/her clothes changed into a high color grey shirt and black pants all that clung tightly to her body. Several of the crowd blushed including Issei and Kiba. Naru huffed concietedly and crossed her legs.
'Hmm seems my hair is silver now in my female form...' "Happy?" The voice was drastically more feminine.
"YES!" Issei had a nosebleed and Naruto thought he was going to throw up inside.
Rias pouted looking down at her own body.
"That's not fair you can't be prettier than me." Her fiance had breasts as big as Akeno now and a better ass... She never thought in her life she would even think that sentence. Naru also had Tama's height and looking at him now actually looked like a mix between Tama and his sisters in his female form but with a more matured body.
"Silly Ri-chan it's not that I'm prettier. My body is just in my feminine prime in this form while you are still growing."
"Oh. Well I guess that makes sense then."
Naru ran her hands through her glowing silver hair and looked condescendingly at Rias and the other girls.
"But my hair is much nicer~." They gained tick marks as they all took pride in their hair. A thought went through several of their minds at the same time. 'Too much like Tama...'
"Anyway on with the historic retelling!"
Naru pointed to the audience and winked. Kiba looked around to try and see what Naru was looking at off to the side only to see nothing. Kiba leaned over to Koneko who was standing next to him against the wall. "Who is senpai talking to?"
"Just ignore it so the plot can progress for the readers." Kiba shrugged accepting Koneko's words and straightened back up. After a second he realized what Koneko said and blinked.
"Wait what-?"
"On with the flashback!"
"Come on please?! How about~ if you give him to me then I give you something you've never experienced before?"
"Deal!" The dirty man agreed quick in the face of Menma's allure. Menma glanced back at Gilgamesh and grinned as her red eye glowed. "Well kid come on you're with me now."
The boy looked confused before getting up to his feet and shrugging. He walked up and pulled the bars of his cage apart with raw strength startling the man as the boy walked up to Menma obediently.
The man waved as he shouted out. "Hey wait a moment brat! You aren't going anywhere till I get my end of the bargain.
"Oh you're right how rude of me. I shouldn't keep a man waiting now should I?" Menma glanced slyly back at the man who gained a stupidly perverted grin at the look getting a bit too excited.
"That's right give me what I want!"
*Scrchh*
"-A-Ack..." The man coughed up blood as he was suddenly raised off the ground with an arm going through his chest. "Y-You lying d-demon b-bitch..."
Menma gained a shit eating grin exposing sharklike teeth.
"I never lied. I said I'd give you something you never experienced before. I hope you enjoy you death because it won't happen again for you." She ripped her arm out of his chest in a spray of blood causing the man to fall down to the ground limp in a puddle of his own expanding pool of blood as the life quickly left his body.
"You scent is disgusting like that of a pig's so die their in the dirt soaked in your own filth." Menma glared down at the corpse before suddenly turning to the boy who jumped at the expression. Menma quickly dawned a cheery expression. "What's your name boy?"
"Ah, it's Gilgamesh nee-san."
"Hmm strong name. Well then Gil-kun you will be my toy to train for the unforeseen future."
"Please treat me well I new at this." Menma had a feeling she knew what he really meant by that.
"Haha you're a funny kid." Her expression suddenly grew dark again as she held the Gilgamesh off of the ground again this time by the rags of his shirt from his back.
"Kid I may be genderless but I'm primarily male. I'm not interested in other males so making jokes like that will make my tests worse on you. And even if I was interested in children like that it would be a female not you."
"..."
"Don't think about what I just said too much." Menma's body shimmered and suddenly was in his male appearance again as his hair became shorter and spikier. He let go of Gilgamesh and turned on his heel to walk back through the slave tent ignoring the dead body at his feet and the stares of the other captives. Menma walked past the cages and stopped as his eye caught something and he backtracked in front of a cage. He looked in to see a frightened young girl maybe a little younger than the boy and covered in grime as she bunched herself up in a corner she had a metal shackle around her neck connect to a metal chain as if to keep her as some kind of caged animal. What caught Menma's attention was the fact that the girl had animal parts. He spotted a small dirty orange fox tail with matching orange fox ears and the girl had pink hair and yellow eyes.
'Hmm a beast child? It's rare to find one that looked tame enough to pass off as a human if the ears and tail were hidden.'
He backhanded the cages bars slicing them apart and went in.
Gilgamesh stood in the hall bewildered as he saw his benefactor go into a cage and he heard a bunch of scuffling, the sound of breaking metal, and a girl start crying before Menma walked back out holding up the little animal girl by the scruff of her neck as she cried softly scared but not able to move much in resistance anymore because of the biological weakness.
'Wait didn't he just say he likes little girls?' "Mister wait!"
Menma paused in his step and looked back at the boy. "Huh?"
"At least wash her first!"
"I'm going to gut you..."
Now outside of the old city night had fallen. Menma had decided to set up camp out in the arid plains. Though it was hot and taxing for people in the day time at night Menma could really enjoy the peacefulness of the surroundings. You could see everything around you for miles and up in the sky you could see every star. The two younglings sat around a small campfire while Menma sat on a rock looking up at the moon. He let out a breath gazing up at the full moon. As his mouth parted his canines became more pronounced. He cracked his neck to the side as his hair shimmered and black horns sprouted on top of his head. He head shuffling behind and glanced back to see the little beast girl flinch under his gaze before shrugging it off timidly. Gilgamesh looked over at them with a raised eyebrow but otherwise didn't care and went back to looking at the fire while absently listening.
"U-Um, M-Master?"
"You don't have to call me that."
"S-Sorry!"
The meekness was getting on his nerves. He snapped his head over in the girls direction to yell at her but the words died in his throat when he got a good look at her.
She had her arms up in front of her face as if to guard herself. It was instinctive showing that she had a pretty hard life if something as little as a sharp gaze caused her to react that way yet she still approached him on her own which astounded him. He saw that she was thinner than she should be at that young age and was shivering, maybe from fatigue but mostly from the cold. In the desert like climate they were in the environment got pretty cold at night. It didn't effect Gilgamesh because of his godly blood and of course it didn't bother Menma but the girl clearly wasn't built like them.
He sighed and took off his cloak wrapping it around the little animal girl who blinked surprised.
"You're cold aren't you? Can't have you getting sick."
He tied it around her getting a small embarrassed blush from the girl before he patted her on the head. "Now what was it you wanted?"
"I-I wanted to know my purpose since you a-are my master now."
He couldn't stop looking at her as she was interesting to him.
"You say weird things child. I don't have to be your master if you don't want to but I will be keeping you around for the unforeseen future regardless. I plan to train Gilgamesh over there and make him stronger. I hope to do the same to you. You've lived a poor life. My job now is to give you the tools to create a better life for yourself."
"N-Not that I'm not grateful but w-why me? I'm a subhuman." This all sounded too good to be true for her. All she had begrudgingly excepted out of life was that as a subhuman she was at best slave material and would be lucky to live long enough to get passed around before sickness did her in.
"One. You are not a subhuman. That's just what those trash call your kind to feel superior. No girl you are much much more than that. As to why I chose you. Since I in a way created you I am responsible for you.
"Tou-san?!" She looked up at him with wide eyes causing his eye to twitch in annoyance and at her hidden cuteness. Even with her long time need of a proper bath she still could be considered adorable.
"Wha- No! I'm not your father!" What was with these kids interpreting his words wrong? "I meant your race as a whole. Beast men and women are something of my design just tinkering with the evolutionary properties of various animals some several centuries ago. You are the product of that?"
She tilted her head at him not really understanding all of what he said but getting the gist of it.
"Oh ok? Then what are you master?" Her voice was slowly becoming less nervous around him. She saw him grow the horns so she assumed he wasn't human. Gilgamesh turned in their direction as he had been wondering the same thing.
"I am Menma a chimeric being. I am an Earthbound God, though compared to other godlings you could call me a demon. I am also the creator of Youkai."
"Y-Youkai?"
"Yes that's what I'm calling your race now. Sounds much better than subhuman doesn't it?
She smiled for the first time and nodded.
'Cute.' "What is your name girl?"
"The only one I know of is Tamano."
"Tamano hm? It's a good name..."
He gained a small grin to himself as he looked back up at the moon.
"I plan to make you two very powerful with what I've been working on for the past few centuries. Tamano you will become a beast of war. Gilgamesh you will be the first prototype for a line of beings I call Armorers..."
- Present Konoha -
"So even back then you had a soft spot for kids and girls?" Shio asked as Naruto sat at the table with Kaga. He had a bowl of ramen in his hands and a pair of chopsticks in his hand as he fed Kaga the ramen who ate it quickly. Was a baby her age supposed to be eating ramen? Probably not but who cares. Tama just watched along with the twins as they listened to the story. Yasaka was near the doorframe outside the room leaning her back against the wall as she listened in. She wasn't really hiding since Naruto knew she was there but just kept quite anyway. Naruto had told them about what had happened back in Kuoh so now he was telling them about events deep in his past.
"Luck of the draw really. I could have very well ignored those kids but for some reason I grew attached to them."
"The girl's name was Tamano?..." Tama questioned. Naruto looked at her and knew what she was thinking.
"The similarities between your names was just an ironic coincidence."
Miso raised her hand as she had to clear something up.
"So Tamano had fox features?"
"Pretty much. Yep she is you two's ancestor. After Menma tinkered on her she became the first youkai warbeast and first pure youkai too. Experimentation was a must as way back then beast people didn't live all too long. They evolved form their animal counterparts to resemble humans but kept the lifespan of their animal counterparts. With Tamano I flipped that around so she lived longer and from then on with each generation the lifespan extended until it got to where it is now where is possibly endless. Beast men were also pretty frail surprisingly as well as prone to harmful diseases and skittish like wild animals. I had to fix that too though that took more work. The creation of beast men was mainly something I did out of boredom to throw an odd variable into the world and watch how it played out. Upon meeting Tamano I realized I could do much much more. Now that I think about it you two could be twins of Tamano. You two look so much like her and she was more like Miso in personality."
"Seems like the original Juubi had a nice adventure back then apparently for someone who could die of boredom."
"Yeah. Or at least it was good while it lasted until Gilgamesh killed me." They gained shocked looks as while Naruto didn't seem to caught up over it they could still sense he wasn't lying.
"What?! Why?!"
He rubbed his forehead and sighed as he got up handing the chopsticks to Tama.
"I'll continue the rest of the story later. Just know I haven't always done the right thing." The girls watched his back as he abruptly left the room. When he was gone there was silences as there was a shimmer in Tama's eyes and the twin's fox ears drooped a bit. They didn't know what was wrong but for some reason they felt like Naruto was hurting.
Naruto laid in bed with his hand behind his head with his torso bare. He was Naruto the new Juubi and yet he was at the same time the old Juubi. He had Menma's memories and with them came emotions and instincts. So he knew how Menma would feel right now because he was feeling it right now so he couldn't help but in a way feel responsible for some of the things Menma did. It was believed that the Juubi died of boredom yet Gilgamesh killed him. He wasn't lying about either of those things so what happened?! He knew he just didn't want to think about it too much right now. If he died of boredom then he couldn't help but imagine that Tamano died of sadness.
He was half asleep and so lost in thought that he didn't pay attention much when two warm bodies made their way into his bed on either side of him. He felt two soft pecks on his cheeks causing him to open his eyes. He glanced down to see Shio and Miso smiling up at him, their tails wagging under the covers. He looked a little further and saw that they were naked. Well he guessed he didn't really have to look since he could feel their bare bodies pressed up against him. He was only topless but they were full on nude. He shifted his eyes back to look straight up at the ceiling with a blank stare as his sisters giggled at his reaction.
"Well then..."
"We thought we'd cheer you up. You know whatever the Juubi did we don't count it as being you right?"
He chuckled at the two. They would worry about him even if it wasn't a big deal if they felt it was important.
"It's not that. I know you two wouldn't care but that's not the issue. I am and the original Juubi and yet I'm my own person at the same time. I say that because while I am Naruto I still have these memories and they grow deeper and stronger the more I remember my long past in the before life. The juubi being a very dispondent being by nature didn't feel emotions like you two did very often. In fact it wasn't till around the timeframe I told you guys with Gilgamesh and Tamano that Menma started become more emotive. So whatever Menma actually felt back then, with me being much more empathetic and understanding of emotions I would be effected much more by it no matter how much I try to contain it."
"How bad was it really?"
"Leaving a loved one and damning someone who saw you as a brother or maybe even a father figure by destroying their pride."
The twins winced at that along with Naruto's dry tone. Maybe they shouldn't have asked that so soon. They could hear the details later. They looked each other getting a gleam in their eyes before they opened their mouths wide.
*Chomp!*
"What the hell?!" A jolt went through his body when Shio and Miso sank their canines into his shoulders. He was pretty sure they hit the bone too. They let go of him and sat back.
"There that should have snapped you out of your mood." His eye twitched at Miso's ditzy expression.
"I'm bleeding..."
"You'll heal. Tomorrow when you fight we want you to enjoy yourself."
His eyes a widened. He rarely ever allowed anyone to order him around unless it was big. Though he would listen if ever someone needed for him to restrict himself but even without being told to he always held back at least a little bit at all times for psychological reasons. Hearing his sister say that to him he couldn't help it. The corner of his mouth twitch until it grew into a fanged grin.
"Wow you must really hate this guy to put a death warrant on him like that."
"Well he has hit on us repeatedly over the years even right before you showed up here." Shio said offhandedly. He propped himself up against the head of the bed so he could sit up.
"If a half rate fox still thinks you two are free game then I clearly haven't been doing a good job." His eyes slitted in the low light as he peered down at them. They giggled at the look till the started to sense his increasing excitement and their laughs stopped.
"Wait now?" The asked in unison a bit nervously.
"Yes now. What did you expect you could come in here naked and I wouldn't do anything?"
"B-But you have to fight tomorrow and you split up your b-body." Was their response still in unison.
"The in-sync speaking is only making things worse. And my body may be split up but I'm still more than enough for you two."
He slipped his arms around the smalls of their backs and brought them up to him mashing their breasts up against his chest as he buried his nose into their shoulders getting mewls from them. He grinned again as he spoke lowly between their ears.
"Oh and I don't know if Tayuya told you but I've grown a bit since the last time we did this."
A shiver went down their spine upon hearing that. Well at least they were doing a good job of cheering him up...
- Familiar Forest -
A white haired Naruto could be seen in a meditation position as he sat in the grass surrounded by vegetation. He suddenly felt a jolt and started coughing as he clutched his chest. After a few moments the feeling passed and he calmed down. He slowly opened his eyes to reveal blank red ones.
"Heh... Maybe I stretched myself too thin." Once again this was just another split of Naruto separated from the main body. Yet even with only having a third of his soul occupying this body he had manage to reach a point where he could still invoke his Unseen state and sustain it.
"Are you alright Naruto-sama? You should take it easy now!" He glanced to the side as he heard Latias's bright voice and saw her flying around him lazily.
"Yeah I'm fine. Having 3 full powered bodies existing simultaneously at this distance is just a bit taxing. In hindsight I might have overtrained myself.
"Why are you still here anyway? You learned ever technique that us pokemon have a week ago and even made more of you own." He sent this body over right when he started his training session in the underworld over a month ago and he's been here ever since. Time does flow a little differently in this realm though than in the normal world. Two bodies was fine but the third one seemed to accelerate health issues. He smirked as he stood up and dusted himself off.
"What you don't want me around? Maybe I wanted to spend time with you?"
"Then use me in a fight."
"It would be overkill." It should be noted that other than the elemental boosts non of the Poke girls make him any stronger than he is naturally. They are weapons. All they do is let him channel his power better into a more dangerous and directed manner.
"B-But-!?" She got teary eyed causing him to quickly placate her.
"Soon I promise. Your time is coming."
She looked down and nodded as she floated down to the ground in front of him.
"Fine..."
He scooped her up into a hug causing the small girl to blush. "Now then lets go me with Umi and the others. I want to go over a few things that have happened recently before I go back."
- Next Day -
The stadium was filled to the brim as thousands of various youkai sat in the seats. There was even a scattering of a few humans and other beings here and their throughout the crowds. People had gathered here to see how would become the heir of the Kitsune clan. Being one of the most famous and legendary clans in the world their influence extended further than just Kyoto or Japan period. Along with the rumors already circulating about Naruto many wanted to see who this boy was. The other faction leaders however did not show as they were not needed since they had already met Naruto. It wasn't mandatory for them to show up anyway and they were busy people.
True to the skills of youkai workers the stadium was a mile wide in diameter making it among the biggest on the planet. It was only a few hundred meters wide initially but Yasaka had it expanded a few years ago. They couldn't have the stadium too small when so many youkai had great AoE type attacks. Thanks to magic seals implemented throughout it's design the stadium could also change into various landscapes but for today they decided to keep it simple with the generic dirt ground.
For clan heads like Yasaka and other officials they had an elevated stand where they could sit if they choice to that was shielded from the sun and had finer accommodations. Yasaka also had sitting next to her, her daughter Kunou. She was the splitting image of her with the physical appearance of a girl around the age of 10 or 12. Yasaka had picked Kunou up from her training sessions so that she could see her cousins. Though Kunou liked Miso and Shio very much she had a fondness for Naruto. It was like the aura about him. In the stadium grounds in the direction of this stand there was a tall statue of two hands coming together in the ram seal.
In the stands Miso and Shio could be seen sitting up with Ahri in the seats beneath the leader's stand where Yasaka was. Miso was holding onto Kaga in her lap while Ahri looked on in controlled excitement.
"I can't wait to see your brother fight. If you two were so confident in his strength then he must be very strong." They silently nodded causing Ahri to look at them weirdly. She noted that their hair seemed to be a little more messy than it usually was and they looked a little out of it but she wrote it off as them not getting much sleep. Ironic. She sniffed the air and blinked.
"You two must have been helping him train a lot what with how strong his scent is on you."
Their fox ears bristled as they blushed nervously at what their cousin said. Kaga reached for Miso's arm with her small arms and brought her mouth down on it. Apparently she didn't like what she was hearing.
*Che*
"Ah! Kaga why?!" Kaga broke the skin and drew blood. "You don't even have teeth!"
Armorer nature aside the child clearly also inherited her father's jaw strength. She would have to be careful not to annoy her when she got old if biting is what she resorts to.
Naruto walked in the hallway getting ready to go out into the arena. He already had an idea of how he was going to do this. He stopped when he saw Tama blocking his way at the end to go out. He rose an eyebrow at her.
"What were you waiting for me?"
"Mmhmm."
She walked up to him making him slightly wary. The next thing he knew a pair of slender arms wrapped around his. He looked confused as Tama pressed herself up against him and hugged him tightly.
"Tama what's wrong?"
"It's nice to have hugs every now and then. Just simple ones for comfort."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close. "I'm not a lost child... Still I guess this is nice."
"Personally I don't care what you do to this guy you're facing." She couldn't remember his name nor did she care to remember it. "But you need to put on a good show. Do you know why?"
He shrugged at the question. "Because their are numerous officials for Youkai from both Japan and around the world watching this fight and likely their will also be the eastern gods watching too? And that this will be a good way to become even more widely known? Gilgamesh may be watching as well."
"No it's because your daughter is watching and this will be the first fight she's seen."
His body went rigid as his eye sharpened underneath the shadows of his hair. Tama grin in an armorer like way at seeing his reaction.
"I see you understand now." The look between their eyes would have made anyone nearby fearful as they glowed ominously. "Show off for Kaga-chan."
Looking around from the center of the stadium Naruto could see how spacious it was. He had his hands in his pockets with his hood on his head keeping focused while appearing laidback outwardly. Sora stood a few meters from him glaring while the referee stood between them. Naruto turned his head to look at the ref and squinted his eyes as he saw familiar purple hair behind a cat-like mask.
"Yugao?"
The woman pushed up her mask as she turned to him and gave a welcoming smile. "Hello Naruto-sama. It has been a while."
"I haven't seen you since I moved on from my training in Suicide forest."
"Yes you seem to be doing well for yourself. I have high hopes for you this match."
"Isn't the referee not supposed to show favoritism?"
She shrugged not really responding to it.
Seeing that it was about that time Yasaka stood and held her hands up bring the stadium down to as close to silence as possible from it's animated chatter.
"Welcome all! I don't have to tell you all why you are here as you all already know. Today we will determine who will be the heir to the Kitsune clan. The match will be between the rising prodigy of the Kitsune clan, Kazuma Sora the Beast Slayer..."
Sora gave a cocky scoff over at Naruto as the audience cheered out for him. At least those from Konoha. Not many outside of the country knew of him.
"versus my nephew, and Kushina the previous leader's son, Uzumaki Naruto! Who is both the last male warbeast and last wolf warbeast on the planet!"
There was a mixture of gasps and cheers along with other confused exclamations as the crowd roared out. Unlike with Sora the reactions came more so from the entire audience. Naruto tilted his head over at Sora and grinned. "They don't even know me and already I'm rated higher than you simply because of what I am." The kitsune was about to retort but was drowned out by Yasaka.
"These are the two candidates for the clan head position. Yugao-san would you please?"
The Anbu member nodded to Yasaka as she took her que. "Hai Yasaka-sama. Now then. The rules for this are simple. The fighting continues until one surrenders, or is unable to continue. Killing is aloud but not encourage. However we are not liable for anything that happens between the candidates during the battle and hope you all understand..." Yugao glanced discreetly up at Yasaka as she said that who smiled cheerily giving her a thumbs up. Others looked at her weirdly while Naruto had a sweatdrop. 'What was that a disclaimer?'
However to keep things even as a contest between the two fighters no outside help is allowed and no extraneous weapons other than the standard shinobi gear and simple melee weapons. Understood?" Naruto's eye twitched as he was almost 100% certain that those two rules were pointed at him specifically. No outside help meant he couldn't use his familiars which were his weapons and no extraneous weapons basically canceled out most of his arsenal.
Naruto just crossed his arms and nodded as he looked away and grumbled to himself.
Yasaka seeing his response snapped her fingers and Ox man Youkai appeared in a poof of smoke next to Yugao. The man was huge as Yougai who was an average height woman was only half the beast man's height. To match the man's statue he pulled behind him a large wheelbarrow. He pulled it up next to Naruto and stopped. Yasaka spoke directly to Naruto from that distance while everyone looked confused.
"Naruto no extraneous weapons."
"You don't trust me?"
"Do it Naruto."
He groaned and swung his arms out as a pair of pump action shotguns shot out of his sleeves. The were modified being a little longer than average and were semi-automatic. The pump was just for show or at least for him it was since he could wield a pump action shotgun one handed. He was good like that. He dropped the two guns in the wheelbarrow and crossed his arms again.
Yasaka looked hard at him causing him to groan again. He reached behind his back and took out a pair of handguns and dropped them in the wheelbarrow. He put his hands behind his back up his shirt and pulled out two cattle prongs and dropped them in the wheelbarrow as well. Yugao looked at him weirdly for having that of all things.
"Why...?"
He just shrugged not really having a real answer.
"All of it Naruto."
He looked mad as he looked up at his aunt until he saw her smile and realized what she was doing.
"Fine."
He swung his arms back and forth dropping various weapons into the wheelbarrow. Everyone in the audience went quiet as their eyes grew progressively wider with each weapon Naruto dropped in. Nothing but the sound of metal and wood clanging against each other filled the stadium as Naruto unloaded an impossible amount of weaponry. After a few minutes the wheel barrow was pilled up high with over 50 different guns all loaded. 10 of them had some illegal modifications to them like a gauge sniper rifle. On top of that there was a handful of grenades, a chainsaw, 3 RPGs, 50 kilos of C4, 200 pounds of various ammunition, and a flashbang. There was also a pile of drumsticks and silverware, and for some reason he managed to bring out a sidewinder missile that he probably stole from some military base.
He started to move on to his collection of swords and close combat weaponry when Yasaka held up her hand.
"That's enough Naruto just bare your arms." He shrugged and ripped off his sleeves exposing his toned arms showing the black tribal marking over them getting a slight twitch from the corner of Yasaka's mouth at the sight of them. Other than for eye candy having his arms bare pretty much ensured that he wouldn't be able to use his arsenal discretely as most of his hidden weapons he used his sleeves to conceal. With his arms bare if he pulled out his weapons from his arms his markings would shimmer signifying it. It's why armorers had a fondness for sleeves and pockets, even Tama because without their bodies concealed their markings would warn their enemy. Though Tama didn't have to worry about it as much as Naruto as her markings vanished most of the time and when active only appeared on parts of her arms.
The elders and clan heads looked dumbfounded at the collection of weapons Naruto had brought out. It was easily several hundred pounds not counting the explosives and he wasn't even done yet. Yasaka looked at the elders slyly enjoying their expressions.
"Fufufu did I forget to say Naruto-kun is also an Armorer?"
Hiruzen paled along with some of the older members who knew what an Armorer was. "Th-The Juubi's gift?! He has that?!"
'If you think that's something just you wait...'
Yugao wasn't all that surprised but that information since she already had known for years. She continued on with the rules.
"Magic is aloud as are all the shinobi arts and sacred gears if available. Your objective is to win. How you do that is up to you. Are both fighters ready?" Sora nodded while Naruto was for some reason looking up at the crowd. Specifically where his sisters were at Kaga and locked eyes with her.
Yugao looked at him for a moment until he shooed her and she brought up her hand. "Well then if both are ready... Hajime!" She brought down her hand signalling the start of the match as she quickly jumped away.
Sora quickly got into a fighting stance but paused when he saw Naruto still lucking off at the audience. 'He's not even paying attention.' He scowled as his teeth flashed in anger.
~ Play - Vegeta Super Saiyan Theme ~
"How impertinent. The battle has already begun and you can't even focus. I guess I shouldn't worry about it too much though. Once I beat you then I will get all the respect and praise and Shio-chan will beg me to take her! Or I could just kill you. No one can stop me here anyway. Then you definitely won't be able to get in my way." Naruto's eyes dilated as he slowly shifted his eyes and turned his head to look at Sora. Whatever Sora said after he mentioned his sister feel on deaf ears. Those who knew Naruto well enough winced as they knew what Sora had just triggered. Tama who was now sitting up with the twins and Ahri, grinned as she held Kaga in her lap. In Kaga's hands she was teething on a glowing wispy blue ball of some kind with the title "Loki" on it as the baby watched with undivided attention.
Sora not knowing the weight of what he just did somehow thought that he had intimidate Naruto.
"It'll be sad in a way I suppose. You are getting such high hopes from people for your wolf background and yet I bet you're just a lowly dog whose bark is worse than his bite.
An audible growl could be heard for a few seconds before Naruto stopped and a swirling of air could be heard as he took in a strong inhale. His chest swelled as his lungs had his head back as he held his breathe. Everyone looked confused even the twins before Tama's eyes widened slightly in realization and she covered Kaga's ears.
Naruto suddenly lurched forward and let out all the air in his diaphragm opening his jaws wide.
"WRAAOOOOOOOOOO!" A shockwave went out visible by the ring of dust and moisture in the air it pushed out as it spread out from the center of the stadium all the way to the stands. Sora's eyes widened as the shockwave hit him like a tidal wave before he was knocked off his feet a second later and carried away by the pressurized air. He went tumbling through the air till he hit the wall of the stadium sending spider cracks throughout it as the wind from Naruto's howling roar forced Sora into it. When the gust finally hit the stands the crowds had to shield their eyes from the kicked up wind and debris. A 30 meter crater formed around Naruto signifying the blast zone of that sound wave. After 20 seconds Naruto let his roar die down as he calmly reached into his pockets and pulled out a roll of cotton bandages. He started to wrap them around his hands and forearm twice over. Sora's eyes shook in startled surprise.
"W-Wha-?"
"So you think my bark is worse than my bite and my words are worse than my might?"
He finished tying the bandages on his other forearm and pulled it tight with his teeth and grinned predatory-like with the bandage pulled tight by his canines.
"You better hope you're right!" His wolf features twitched sporadically before suddenly turning pitch black resembling shadows.
He wasn't bandaging his arms to protect his hands from hurting himself. He was dampening his fists so that he could hit Sora more. No one knew what to say as that roar shellshocked them. Sora was fucked.
- END -
AN: Whew long chapter but I wanted to do so since I made you guys wait. There is going to be quite a bit of plot from here on going on from more important flashbacks, to Naruto's father, to what's wrong with Naruto, and then there will be a bunch of key fights from Naruto fighting Sairaorg soon and probably a Satan to Gilgamesh interfering in his own way. Type Moon fans this will probably be a treat for you as Gilgamesh and Tamano aren't the only ones from that universe that will show up in this story.
Next chapter will be more flashbacks, all of the Sora fight, and who knows what else.
Also Naruto's potential is so high and dangerous because he isn't just the new Juubi. Naruto is a one man army just with his hands alone. The Juubi was more of a destroyer type as he relied more on throwing his power around to get the job done. Naruto's intelligence and battle prowess is too damn high and with how developed the world is now, Naruto is much more creative than the Juubi was.
Anyway Idk what else I was going to say.
Please give me reviews. I promise I will have the chapter out in a week this time.
ZRAI out!
