BEFORE WE BEGIN I HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL SOMETHING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS A MOMENT OF HEAVY SHIT CONCERNING IRINA. I KNOW WHAT I DID WAS MESSED UP, BUT IT SERVES A PURPOSE, AND NO, THING TOO BAD HAPPENS, BUT THE IMPLICATIONS ARE THERE.
Review Response:
Conker9999: Both are good ideas, and they are in consideration.
Jupiter50: Thank you man.
Doomqwer: Its fully possible, as she is the one who injured Kushina and allowed her to get poisoned by the Fallen.
Draegoon: Oh, yeah, Naruto freaking out is perfect reason to hide in this highly defended, laser packed bunker. I actually planned and wrote out Naruto attacking Ravel, but that would have done more damage than necessary. Yeah, Kuroka is Naruto's Fiance, Kushina did tell Kuroka she wanted her to marry Naruto. His reaction may have been a bit dramatic. Yeah, Kuroka will be the one telling Naruto, well, helping him accept the truth. Oh, you are going to LOVE what happens here, it might not be what you think, but its awesome none the less man. And the bunker will be needed. Now, food for Thought: Could Trafalgar Law use Room to cover the entire world and cut it in half?
Spacecore94: Yeah, I agree it was random. It was the first thing that popped into my head and I just went with it.
Draig Blaster: Kunou when she is a little older, Kuroka, Koneko, Ravel, and Xenovia are the current Harem.
Haseothesage: Hm, doesn't that seem petty, Naruto making Griselda live with the guilt.
Primarx: Yeah, me too, especially since she is watching over them secretly.
Oksankik717: Hm, that could work, having Naruto leave to train in the mountains.
Calderoneric758: 1-20? That's weak. 1-infinity…. I say around 9000. And the shit is…. Never mind, I won't scar anyone with my description.
Kratos1991: Maybe it was.
AxeMan18: That is very true, but Kuisha doesn't know all the fact, neither does Yasaka, Lucci, or anyone BUT Kuroka. She knew Kushina, and I have a great way of showing it off, and have laid hints of what and how she will prove it.
TheRazgrizDragon: Thank you, man.
TheB: Well, isn't Kiba's hatred for Excalibur just as ridiculous? I mean, Valper is the one who did the experiments? Not the sword. So, shouldn't Kiba be even more angry at Valper, the one who did it? Same logic applies here. Yeah, I know, the way I wrote Naruto he is very stubborn, but I realized that a while back and came up with a way for him to accept it without going on a murderous rampage. Yeah, its Rapidly, I blanked on the name.
Avjuan: Here is the newest chapter.
Harem:
Koneko, Ravel, Kuroka, Xenovia
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO, ONE PIECE, OR HIGHSCHOOL DXD!
"Hey" = Speaking
'Hey' = Thinking
'Hey' = Memory
"Hey"= Sacred Gear/ Communication link
Chapter 15: Descension of Mind
"HEY," Freed shouted in sadistic glee, Rapidly in his hand with its sheath. "OVER HERE YOU SHITTY DEVILS!"
"Freed." Issei said as he activated his Boosted Gear, prepared to fight as Asia hid behind him.
The two peerages, minus Kiba, had ran as fast as they could and they arrived about a quarter mile from their academy.
"Oh, no need to be so quick to anger, red dragon shit." Freed said as he held his hands out to caution them, before smiling darkly. "Besides, I have all these new toys I want to show you."
Freed opened his jacket, revealing three additional Excalibur fragments.
"I also snagged this wonderful Sword of Mimicry from little old Pigtails." Freed said as he gestured to his arm.
"What did you do to Irina!" Issei shouted, Naruto and Asia holding him back.
"Nothing yet, because there is someone who wants to meet you." Freed said coyly, looking up at the sky with crossed eyes. "My boss…"
Naruto felt an immense power approach, obviously it was fallen, but it was very strong, making his hair stand on end.
Kokabiel appeared in a flash of power, his long fur cloak bellowing on his back as he flew high, looking down upon the young devil peerages.
"Welcome, Children of Gremory, Sitri, and Phenex." Kokabiel said politely, with a bow. "It is an honor meeting you all. You look like your older siblings, Rias, Sona."
Said Kings did not take kindly to Kokabiel's sarcastic politeness.
"You know our names, so we can skip the greetings." Rias said as she stood with her hand on her hip. "You are here in Devil Territory."
"You honestly think I care?" Kokabiel interrupted, his eyes holding glee and murderous want. "I plan on killing all of you to start up another faction war."
Everyone gasped.
"However, there is one of you I am especially happy to see," Kokabiel said as his sights zeroed in on Naruto. "It is nice to meet the spawn of the werefox Kushina."
Naruto's eyes thinned.
Kokabiel chuckled.
"Now, where to start my war." Kokabiel asked as he looked around, laying eyes on Kuoh Academy. "How about that school."
He and Freed vanished before the peerage's eyes.
"We need to call Sairaorg or Master right now." Naruto said as he whipped out his phone.
"Naruto, don't…" Rias tried to say before she saw him hit call and she grabbed it out of Naruto's hands, smashing it into the ground. "We don't…"
Naruto glared at her.
"You owe me a new phone, Rias." Naruto said darkly. "An Iphone 6s, I want my phone to have an earphone port."
"Okay, I'll get you a new phone." Rias promised.
"We are getting off track." Sona interjected with Ravel nodding in agreement.
"We need a plan." Ravel said as she stepped forward. "First, we need to split up into two groups, one to stop Kokabiel, and the other to erect a barrier."
"I volunteer my peerage to fight." Rias offered.
"That is a good idea," Sona said as she pushed up her glasses. "Your peerage is heavily offensive, but with out Kiba, you are lacking some power."
Rias nodded.
"Then that leaves my peerage with the barrier." Sona stated.
"I will help with the barrier." Naruto said, shocking everyone. "I know a little bit about barriers, so I can enhance it further with chakra like an extra skin."
"That sounds like a plan." Ravel stated. "I, too, will help with the barrier. I may have fighting experience, but I am far from a master, so it is all in your hands, Gremory peerage."
"Right." All present Gremory members said.
"Now, let's stop this fallen." Sona stated, getting agreements.
Meanwhile…
Valper finished arranging the five sword fragments they had in the alchemist circle.
Excalibur Blessing.
Excalibur Mimic.
Excalibur Nightmare.
Excalibur Rapidly.
Excalibur Transparency.
"Good work, Valper." Kokabiel praised the human. "With these swords, the Devil's will be slain, and another faction war will commence in the soil soaked with their blood. And at the head of this, you and Freed once we take Destruction from the blue haired girl and find Ruler."
"I am happy to hear that, Lord Kokabiel." Valper replied with a bow. "Now, I will commence the fusion of these fragments."
He turned and saw Irina.
Irina was chained to the wall, her body beaten and bruised, a mouth gag keeping her quiet as her amethyst eyes were riddled with despair as her outfit was covered in holes, exposing lots of her flesh, but safely keeping her dignity in check as her breasts and lower parts were still covered.
Her hair was out of its pigtails and was viciously being cut by Freed's Light Sword to occupy his boredom.
"Come on!" Freed Shouted as he cut yet another lock of her hair, now a variety of lengths and looking horrible. "You sure I can't kill her boss?"
"Yes, I am sure Freed." Kokabiel stated calmly. "We need them angry, thus they get sloppy, and thus they leave openings."
He turned to Irina, a dark look in his eyes.
"But I don't care if you decide to have some fun." Kokabiel stated with a chuckle, making Irina's eyes widen in terror as she realized what he said.
"YES SIR!" Freed shouted with a solute.
Valper started fusing the sword by this point.
'Such a disgusting fool.' Valper thought as Freed dropped his light sword and grabbed Irina's wrists, moving her to the ground.
"Hold on, Freed." Kokabiel said urgently, stopping his minion from doing anything. "Valper, I'll buy you the time you need. Freed, keep Valper safe, and don't bother with the girl until later."
"Oh," Freed pouted as he dropped Irina harshly on the ground, her tears mixing into the dirt, praying to God for saving her. "Fine, I'll save her for later."
He picked up his old weapon, dusting it off before the Peerages appeared.
"Oh, so you decide to not run?" Kokabiel asked as he took flight, his wings appearing. "You accepting your deaths."
"No," Rias said as Ravel, Naruto, Sona, Saji, Tsubaki, and the rest of the Sitri Peerage spread out and conjured a barrier around the entire school. "We are here to stop you."
"Hm, very cute." Kokabiel said as he summoned a chair and sat down. "However, I'm currently not ready to play, my servant isn't ready either, his sword is still cooking."
"What?" Issei asked as he looked over at Valper, and saw Irina, who was returning the favor by gazing at him, her eyes begging him to help her. "IRINA!"
Freed stepped forward and in front of them, his sword at the ready.
"Don't worry about her, she is safe for now." Freed laughed as he knelt by her, his knee in her spine as he pulled her up by her hair. "As long as you stay away from me and Old Man Valper, not a single edge of my sword will touch her."
Issei growled.
His blood was boiling, he could hear his heart in his ears, and the urge to kill was growing.
Rias took Issei's right hand in hers, drawing his attention to her, calming down significantly.
"While we wait for the sword to be finished, why don't we play a game." Kokabiel asked as three portals burst open and three Cerberus appeared.
"But they are supposed to be guarding the underworld gates?" Rias stated bewildered.
"I snagged these dogs when they were puppies, so don't worry, Gremory." Kokabiel said before the three dogs attacked.
Outside the barrier, Naruto was shivering with rage.
'Naruto.' Ravel thought as she noticed Naruto's partial transformation into his hybrid form.
She took his hand in hers, feeling his overwhelming power pulsing in his hand.
"It's going to be fine, Naruto, everyone." Ravel said a loud, everyone outside the barrier hearing her through the communication magic orb.
Naruto nodded, gripping Ravel's hand tightly as he watched and sense every movement in the barrier while he supplied chakra to it.
'What…' Ravel thought as she suddenly felt… stronger?
It was a very bubbly, warm feeling, as if like Naruto was wrapping her entire body in a warm hug.
She didn't realize her blue eyes become amethyst with slit pupils.
Naruto felt Kiba and Xenovia running towards the barrier.
"Sona, Kiba and Xenovia are arriving, open a small entrance for them when they do." Naruto said as he could feel them at two different parts of the barrier, which allowed them in safely.
Asia, who was alone at the moment, was almost attacked by one of the Cerberus, thankfully Xenovia used Destruction to slay it as Kiba attacked one of the others.
Kokabiel smirked.
'Good, now we have six of the seven swords here.' Kokabiel thought as he watched his pets get slain.
"Freed." Valper said as the last Cerberus was slain. "The sword is ready."
"Oh, goodie." Freed said cheerfully, dropping Irina into the ground and bouncing off her back like a child on a sugar high. "Let me get my hands ALL over it."
Freed took the new sword, Fused Excalibur. His body rumbled when he took it in both hands. His nerves were numbed and his senses expanded.
"THIS IS THE BEST HIGH EVER!" Freed shouted as his body was flooded with holy energy.
He turned to the Gremory peerage and Xenovia.
"And I will test my new sword on you." He callously called.
"No, just me!" Kiba stated as he for the third time clashed with Freed.
"Me too." Xenovia said as she appeared and slammed her Destruction against Freed's body, only for her and Kiba to go through him.
"It's a real Nightmare isn't it." Freed said as he reappeared before seemingly duplicated using the illusion powers of Excalibur Nightmare. "And Mimicry."
The top segment of Fused Excalibur extended like liquid, being batted away by Kiba and Xenovia's swords.
"COWARD!" Xenovia shouted as she sliced through the illusions, her blade stabbing into the ground. She used her momentum to volt herself up, and kicked one of the Illusions, which actually turned out to be Freed's face, knocking out three of his blood covered teeth.
"OH, YOU BITCH!" Freed shouted, recalling the Nightmare and Mimic abilities and focusing solely on Rapidly.
Kiba could barely keep up and was knocked back, his arms getting slashed and blood spurted from them as he landed and rolled before Valper.
"KIBA!" Xenovia shouted at her partner before blocking and locking against Freed's sword. "I'll stop you… in the name of God."
"Don't you dare…" Freed growled. "SAY THAT DISGUSTING NAME IN MY PRESENCE!"
Fused Excalibur extended, even while locked, and wrapped around Destruction and Xenovia's hands, keeping her from moving as the tip of the blade went for the back of her head.
Xenovia closed her eyes, accepting her failure and death, but it never came.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU FUCKING WEREFOX!"
Xenovia opened her eyes and turned her head to see Naruto grabbing Fused Excalibur's blade, steam sizzling in his hand from the holy magic burning him.
"Xenovia, why didn't you call for backup?" Naruto asked as he entered hybrid form, grabbed her, pulling her and Destruction from Freed's weapon. "Grab your friend, and get her to Asia."
Xenovia only nodded before she and Destruction were pushed away as Freed vanished with Nightmare.
"Illusions." Naruto said as he readied himself. 'Promotion: Rook.'
Naruto's defense and strength increased thanks to the promotion, and thankfully it activated quickly as multiple Freed's appear and all were posed to attack Naruto as Xenovia grabbed her sword and made her way to Irina.
"Irina, you alright…" Xenovia asked as she removed the mouth guard.
*GASP* "Xenovia…" Irina cried out as she felt her arms get freed, grabbing onto her best friend. "I was… *Inhale* so…. Scared…"
"It's alright now." Xenovia said comfortingly. "I'm going to take you to Asia, she will heal you."
Irina nodded as she felt herself get help up from Koneko, who was wearing her battle kimono.
"Trust me, I don't like this more than you, but we need to get you healed." Koneko said incase Irina tried to refuse her help.
"Thank you…" Was all Irina said.
As Xenovia and Koneko helped Irina over, Kiba stood up and glared angrily at Valper.
"Why did you have to kill us?" Kiba demanded as he staggered towards Valper, who wasn't afraid of Kiba.
Valper glanced at Kiba before returning his gaze towards Freed and Naruto.
Naruto summoned as many clones, all of them batting away at Freed's illusions.
'I can't smell him.' Naruto thought as he used Tempest Kick. 'Unless I focus on sensing, I won't be able to find him…'
"Naruto!" Koneko shouted as she used Shave and punched at Freed who was going to attack Naruto from behind, landing an actual hit on Freed, disrupting his concentration and all the clones vanished.
"YOU RUNT-CUNT!" Freed shouted as he doubled in pain, clinging to his sword.
Koneko gained a tick mark on her head at the 'Runt' accusation.
"HEY ASSHOLE, I AM STILL GROWING!" Koneko shouted, about to charge at Freed, but was stopped by Naruto.
"Hold it, Koneko." Naruto said as he kept her from moving.
Koneko was about to ask why, but immediately understood when Free pulled out a Holy Bullet Gun, and shot all the bullets at her.
'Iron Body, MAX!' Naruto thought as he shielded Koneko, all the bullets striking his back, landing on the ground dented.
"FUCK!" Freed shouted as he threw the empty gun away, standing up.
Naruto grabbed Koneko and spun around.
Koneko, realizing he was going to throw her at Freed, prepared herself, but felt… off.
'I feel warm… and stronger?' She thought as her normal golden hazel eyes turned a light shade of orange and her pupils became slits.
Naruto released her and then used Shave, catching up to her speed and both pulled their arms back.
"No, you don't!" Freed shouted as he used Rapidly to escape, only to get sucker punched by Naruto's Shadow clone.
Naruto and Koneko turned to see Freed flying into the wall.
Naruto dispelled all his clones.
Before he or anyone else could do anything more, they felt Kiba's aura rise.
'Is he?' Naruto thought as Freed pulled himself free of the wall and rubble.
Kiba was surrounded by an ethereal glow, blue and white as everyone could see apparitions of his friends.
Kiba smiled and accepted them as they disappeared.
"Time for a new sword." Kiba said as he started walking towards Freed.
"FREED, GET YOUR ASS UP!" Valper shouted at him.
"Tell me, Knight of Gremory, are we still partners?" Xenovia asked as she made her way to his side, Destruction in hand.
"As long as that sword is in that freaks hands, I say we are." Kiba said as he summoned a plain Devil sword. "Friends souls who have merged with mine, please grant me your strength, and together we can do the impossible."
There were flashes of black and white, devil and holy power bursting from Kiba's sword as he took it in his hand.
As the light died down, Freed stood up, finally having his bearings straight, and glared at the new sword.
"This is the Sword of Betrayer." Kiba said as he brandished his Balance Breaker. "A Holy-Devil sword."
"What, that's impossible!" Valper stated in a panic.
"Think that is impossible, then check this out." Xenovia said cockily before turning to Naruto. "Please, forgive me, Naruto"
Naruto tilted his head in confusion, as was everyone as Xenovia placed Destruction into the ground and held out her hand to her side.
"Oh Peter, oh Basilious, Dionysius, and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Please answer my prayer." Xenovia chanted as a temporal distortion appeared to her outstretched hand.
A golden seal array appeared a foot away from Xenovia's hand, and a blue and gold sword emerged from it held with golden chains.
"In the name of the saint, living in this blade," Xenovia said as she grabbed the handle. "I hereby set you free, DURANDAL!"
"Durandal?" Issei asked as the chains broke and Xenovia flourished the blade.
"It's a holy sword on par with Excalibur." Irina said as she was shocked to see that Xenovia decided to use it while Asia healed her. "It is known to cut everything in this world."
"No way," Valper gasped in shock. "None of my research showed that anyone could use that blade except Griselda and she… she was a..."
"Unlike my comrade, Griselda and I both rare natural born holy sword users." Xenovia said with a smirk, proud of the fact.
Naruto stared at the sword, memories of his past flashing through his mind.
Koneko grabbed his hand tightly as she knew this was upsetting him from his intense staring and hands twitching.
"Naruto, listen…" Koneko said as Kiba and Xenovia once more clashed with Freed, matching and surpassing him in speed. "It's just a sword. Yes, it was used to harm your mom, but its Griselda's fault. Please, let it go."
Naruto nearly crushed Koneko's hand.
"I FUCKING HATE YOU!" Freed shouted as he disengaged Xenovia, Kiba appearing behind him.
"THE FEELING IS MUTUAL!" Kiba shouted back, striking Fused Excalibur and Xenovia attacked it as well, shattering the fused weapon.
"YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING ME IN THE ASS!" Freed shouted as he felt the Sword of Betrayer slash across his shoulder and then get removed, causing a stream of holy-devil power to gush out of the wound. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! FUCK THIS, I'M OUT!"
Freed stumbled away only to be stopped by Naruto.
"Out of my…" Freed tried to say before Naruto's finger was imbedded in his throat.
Naruto removed said appendage, grabbing Freed to keep him standing as he gargled on his own blood, and then reused the Finger Pistol and struck Freed in the forehead, killing him.
Everyone in the peerages gasped at this, hold cold Naruto was when he took Freed's life, like a child stomping on an ant.
Meanwhile, outside the barrier, Vali, Griselda, and Kuma watched this from a far to not be scene, using the exorcist's special cloaks to not be sensed.
"That boy is a natural born killer." Kuma said with slight impression. "As are all werebeast's."
"That he is." Vali said with confidence. "I think he would make a perfect opponent."
Griselda stayed quite as she watched Naruto let Freed go.
"No way…" Valper said in a panic as he fell to the ground when Freed's corpse hit the ground. "It's impossible, the Laws of Nature would never allow that contradiction of a weapon to exist."
He took a pause, thinking.
"Yes, that explains it all." He said as he looked up at Kokabiel. "It would only work if…"
A light spear impaled him.
"Valper, dear Valper…" Kokabiel said poetically as Valper disappeared into particles. "You were very smart, to smart for your own good."
"There, Kokabiel." Rias said as she looked at the Cardinal Fallen. "We defeated your hounds and your little toy."
"That you did, that you did." Kokabiel responded as he stood from his throne, which vanished and he looked down at the young devils. "So, it is now my time to play, before I start this Faction War. Child of Werefox lineage…"
Naruto tilted his head as he knew he was the only werefox there.
"I challenge you to one on one combat." Kokabiel said honorably. "It will be a standard death match, winner leaves with their life, loser dies."
"And why would I do that?" Naruto responded hotly. "You are all alone."
"I think I have something of… interest that will make you want to fight, boy." Kokabiel stated with a smirk as he untied his massive fur cloak, letting it drop.
It landed with a thud, showing it wasn't as light as it looked.
"That… no, it can't be." Naruto said in disbelief as he got a closer look, touching his pelt. "This is werefox fur."
"Indeed, it is, for I am the one who hunted down the werefoxes, the strongest of the Werebeast species, and I made that out of pieces of their hides." Kokabiel stated proudly. "And now I'll get the last two pieces to make it complete."
Naruto touched the fur, feeling remnants of chakra under his hands.
'This chakra…' Naruto thought as he touched all the different pieces, crudely sewn together. 'It's angry, and it wants murder…'
Naruto stood up and looked at the Cardinal Fallen.
"Kokabiel…" Naruto said as he glared. "I'll never forgive you, and I'll kill you on the honor and memory of all the Werefoxes you slaughtered!"
Naruto jumped into the air using Moonwalk, bolting side to side, and around Kokabiel, summoning seven clones, all eight of them around Kokabiel.
Kokabiel chuckled.
"This is interesting." Kokabiel stated as he blocked Naruto's punch, swinging the clone into another using the Tempest Kick. "But nothing I haven't seen before."
He vanished as the rest used Tempest Kicks, which struck the others and Naruto, who barely dodged thanks to Paper Art.
"Bastard." Naruto growled, turning to see Kokabiel behind him with a Light Spear.
"Not good enough boy." Kokabiel chided as he went to stab Naruto, who puffed into smoke. "You aren't as skilled at your mother was, but you have just as much potential as her."
Naruto faltered and ended up with a gash on his arm, causing him to land on the ground.
"What was that?" Naruto shouted, the back of his brain starting to hurt as his eye twitched.
"Kushina wasn't a pathetic child either when we fought all those years ago." Kokabiel replied, his hand on his forehead. "Oh, those are good memories. Did she ever tell you how she and your grandfather staged an attack on the Faction Heads after the Devil Civil War?"
Naruto's eyes widened as did everyone else's.
"What?" Naruto whispered in disbelief.
"Oh, I guess she didn't tell you." Kokabiel said sadly. "Poor child, you don't even know who you come from. Let me tell you. Kushina was the vice-commander of a group of rogue yokai who opposed the Faction Heads ideals for peace. She killed many people under her father's orders along side her friend Fujima. However, she vanished with Fujima shortly after the attack on the faction heads failed. All because they had split their forces too thin."
Naruto was shaking.
'So… mom… was a criminal…' He thought gripping his head. 'No, it isn't true, he is lying to get me riled up.'
"And so, when I found her in the woods seven years ago, I took the chance to kill Kurama's daughter, but it took a small amount of poison to get her to flee." Kokabiel continued, making Naruto's fur stand on end, his body going numb. "And to think a woman of her caliber would have a child, that is probably why she sustained such a horrible back injury. So, you are the reason why she died."
"SHUT UP!" Naruto shouted loudly, tears rolling down his eyes as he heaved, trying to calm himself but his emotions were spiraling out of control.
"God, you are easy to anger, boy." Kokabiel laughed. "This is just as funny as when God died."
The tension thickened and silence was pregnant.
"What?" Asia asked, breaking the silence.
"It's not possible." Xenovia said as she looked at Irina, whose eyes were glazed over as she collapsed to her knees, prompting Xenovia to hold her friend. "That just can't be true. I can still feel his warmth in the world."
Kokabiel laughed at the desperation in Xenovia's voice and actions.
"Michael is doing a good job, imitating our father like that, making you children still think he is alive. What a liar." Kokabiel stated.
Irina, who had been through so much in such a short amount of time, started crying at the thought of a world without God, grabbing Xenovia tightly.
"Please, tell me its not true?" She begged Xenovia, crazed obsession in her amethyst eyes as she looked into Xenovia's milky brown ones. "Please, tell me…."
Xenovia's heart weighed heavy as she and everyone else accepted this possibility.
'Someone like Irina can't handle this truth.' Xenovia thought as she too started to tear up.
She tried to speak, but when she did, she couldn't form the words.
Irina's heart sank.
'It can't be true…' She chanted in her head.
The two exorcists felt something warm and furred cover them.
"Naruto?" Xenovia said confused as she saw Naruto standing before them, covering them in his pelt, its tiny arms wrapping around their shoulders with the head in between them.
"Mom… always made me feel safe in troubled times." Naruto said shakily, his hands twitching and his eye in a wince. "And hopefully, she helps you as well."
Xenovia grabbed the fur, gripping it between her fingers and she felt the damn made from her emotions burst.
She and Irina started crying.
Naruto patted their heads, soothing them a little.
He stood up and looked at Rias, Akeno, Issei, Kiba, Koneko, and Asia.
"Kokabiel." Naruto said loud enough for the Fallen to hear him. "I accept your death match."
Kokabiel grinned.
"Perfect, now we can make this a little more… entertaining for myself." Kokabiel said as he activated a massive seal set around the school and under everyone. "This Bomb Seal will go off in twenty minutes, so stop me within that time, and the bomb will deactivate. Understood?"
Naruto looked at Kokabiel.
"Crystal." Naruto growled. 'Promotion… Queen.'
Naruto's power, defense, speed, and chakra output increase dramatically, and everyone could feel this.
'He was reincarnated with a single Pawn piece, yet he can generate this much power?' Rias thought as her hair was whipped around.
'I'm sorry Sairaorg.' Naruto thought as the power died down while the sensation in his brain grew, signaling to him he was on the verge of snapping again. 'But this is a life or death situation, for everyone. Everyone, please, stay away…'
Kokabiel landed on the ground.
"I would like to thank you, Werefox. For indulging me in this death match." Kokabiel said sincerely as he made another spear. "Now, may the game… begin."
The Bomb Seal's timer was ticking, eighteen minutes left on the clock.
'Tempest Kick.' Naruto thought as he kicked the air, sending the air compressed blade at Kokabiel, who batted it away easily.
This gave Naruto enough time to summon three clones, and the four of them used Shave.
"This again?" Kokabiel chuckled as he side stepped another Tempest Kick. "Why not try something… new?"
Naruto ignored him.
'Come on, I can do this.' Naruto thought as the sensation grew stronger. 'Come ON, I can do this…'
He felt nauseated, not because he was running circles around Kokabiel and using the Tempest Kick on blast, it was this… urge.
Something telling him to let go and run wild.
He kept pushing back, but it kept returning that push with a shove.
Koneko, being one of Senjutsu, could sense these disruptions in Naruto ever sense the two of them faced Freed minutes prior, and she didn't like these feelings.
Ravel, herself, while not a chakra user, could feel this odd tingle in her mind, as if she was going to lose her sanity and have it replaced by something evil.
'Naruto…' Both thought anxiously as they watched the clones break apart and stopped running. 'What is going on?'
Two clones got in close and blocked Kokabiel's strikes with Iron Body, singing their flesh only, thanks to the Queen Promotion and Iron Body making them more solid and durable.
'Opening.' Naruto thought as he saw Kokabiel's back wide open. 'Now…'
Naruto broke from the clones and got close, arm pulled back, prepared to strike, only to be backhanded by Kokabiel into the gym, causing a large dust cloud to cover the entrance.
"When I asked for originality," Kokabiel said after he destroyed the remaining clones. "I expected more. Your mother sure did blow expectations."
Naruto's eye twitched.
"Stop… talking…" Naruto shouted, standing up.
Fourteen and a half minutes left before the bomb seal exploded.
Naruto, Koneko, and Ravel could feel this… this feeling clawing, biting, sinking into their minds.
It was angry, and wanted to be released.
And it was painful.
"Ravel? Ravel, what's wrong?" Sona asked as she saw Ravel's exhausted form when she had been steadily supplying power to the barrier.
"Something…. I don't know… but its terrifying." She responded weakly.
Koneko, meanwhile, wanted to help, but was being held back by the others in her peerage family.
"Let me go!" She demanded.
"Stay calm, child." Kokabiel stated loudly. "I'll kill you soon enough, but I want to finish this one first."
Koneko growled and tried harder to get free.
"Koneko, please stop." Akeno begged as she held Koneko back.
"You don't understand…" Koneko gasped out in desperation. "Something dark is coming, and we have to stop him now before it's too late."
Kokabiel, meanwhile, walked to the gym as the dust cloud fell, revealing a massive hole with lots of rubble.
He looked in, a few feet away and saw Naruto on the other end of the gym trying to stand, his leg seemingly broken.
'He really thinks I'm stupid.' Kokabiel thought, not really impressed. 'He thinks he could bait me to get closer, well, I will but not the way he thinks.'
Kokabiel walked to the massive hole, not entering it.
"You know, boy…" Kokabiel said as he pulled out a dagger and a vial. "It was this very same knife and poison that I used to kill Kushina with, and now they will kill you. I want to watch you suffer, like you had to witness her before she died."
Kokabiel laughed at Naruto's angered expression and desire to kill.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure when you are a thin bag of bones and flesh, I'll grant you a painless death." Kokabiel said as he summoned some light spears, with the intent of using them to pin Naruto down.
"WELL, I CAN'T SAY THE SAME!" Naruto shouted as the one Kokabiel saw puffed into nothing and one of the smallest pieces of rubble under his chin turned out to be Naruto, whose face showed unyielding rage, anger, and murder.
His arm pulled back with his index finger ready.
His tail swiping the poison in Kokabiel's left hand against his right, which held the dagger, shattering it.
This got Kokabiel off balance.
'Now for my strongest move…' Naruto thought as he concentrated chakra into his finger tip, spinning it.
"No way…" Koneko said as she, Ravel, Xenovia, Irina, Rias, Sona, and their peerages bore witness.
Naruto created a pea sized Rasengan at the tip of his finger.
"FINGER PISTOL…" Naruto shouted as he thrust his finger into Kokabiel's chest cavity. "SPIRAL BULLET!"
Kokabiel let out a guttural scream, his arms trying to grab Naruto as the werefox pushed forward.
The tiny Rasengan, though small, was a condensed version of the original, and thus was much stronger.
It tore though his body, and spinning his flesh and organs like taffy.
"YOU LITTLE BASTARD!" Kokabiel shouted before he was flung backwards, through the gym wall and out of it, rolling until he collided with the barrier, which warped and nearly broke thanks to the centrifugal force that Kokabiel was pushed with.
"Holy shit he did it…" Everyone collectively thought.
However, Naruto collapsed to his knees, reverting to his human form, four small light daggers imbedded into his body and the dagger covered in clear poison was stabbed into Naruto's cheek, going into his throat and into his organs.
Naruto, due to the rubble he was kneeling on, fell on his side, the light daggers still in him, poisoning him further with Light and the one in his face went through to the other one.
*GASP*
Every fiber in the young devil's and the exorcist's bodies screamed in fear as Kokabiel stood up.
His clothing was ruined, a gapping hole in his chest, blood gushing from his and his mouth.
Twelve minutes on the Bomb Seal Timer.
"YOU Fucking…" Kokabiel gasped out angrily. "I… don't care anymore… I'll kill you right now."
He staggered to stand. His legs clearly damaged from that attack as he shakily stood up.
Kokabiel dodged Koneko's punch, Issei's Dragon Shot, Rias's Power of Destruction blast.
"Lightning!" Akeno shouted, attacking Kokabiel from above, unlike the others.
Kokabiel blocked this with his hand.
"This… Baraqiel's spawn I presume?" Kokabiel asked tiredly, his vision blurring and refocusing.
"DON'T YOU DARE BRING HIM UP!" Akeno shouted as she poured more power into her attack.
Kokabiel scowled and knocked back Akeno's lightning, shocking her in the process.
Kokabiel caught Kiba's sword with his hand.
Kiba summoned another, it got blocked.
"No more hands." Kokabiel gasped out mockingly.
Kiba summoned a third in his mouth and slashed across Kokabiel's face, blood gushing from it.
Xenovia, who had Naruto's pelt around her shoulders, and Irina appeared behind him, Durandal and Destruction, in Irina's hands, ready to tear into Kokabiel's back, only to miss and both hit Kiba, severely wounding him.
"Irritating bitches." Kokabiel said as he slapped Xenovia and Irina away into the dirt.
Kokabiel's breathing was ragged as he was getting irritated and annoyed.
'Fuck this, I'll kill them now.' Kokabiel thought as he summoned his wings, flying into the air. Multiple Light Spears appeared and he was ready to use them, but stopped when everyone felt an increase, far stronger than anything before, in Naruto's power.
He was pulling in Nature chakra at an alarming rate as he yanked out the poisoned dagger from his face and the Light Daggers forced out of his body.
He haggardly stood up.
Koneko and Ravel felt something get pulled out of them, once done they felt more at ease, no more mental pain.
However, Koneko felt something else, and found the source.
Kokabiel's werefox fur cloak was being drained of the remnant chakra within it.
However, everyone saw something they never thought they would see again that night.
Spirits.
The Spirits of the Werefoxes Kokabiel had killed.
"To think, a young child would be forced to do this." A female werefox said sadly as she touched Naruto's cheek.
"I know, but it is inevitable." A male werefox said. "Please, kill Kokabiel."
Naruto said nothing, his eyes covered by his hair.
The Spirits smiled, and soon faded, becoming chakra and entering Naruto's body, his Light Dagger wounds sewing themselves closed and his cheeks closed, leaving no marking they were stabbed.
As his cheeks healed, a clear fluid burst from it, evaporating upon hitting the air.
'He purged himself of the poison… how?' Kokabiel thought in a panic, his eyes widening as he saw Naruto's tail.
The white tip was splitting in two.
'Is he…' Kokabiel thought, his iris dilating further. 'Fucking bitch is trying to use the same thing Kushina used. Well, he won't get the chance.'
Kokabiel summoned a dozen Light Spears around him, all pointed at Naruto as he looked at Kokabiel.
His eyes had black rings around them and his lips were black, his tail now one-third of the way split.
Kokabiel was taken aback.
"DIE WEREFOX TRASH!" Kokabiel shouted as he launched all of his Light Spears at Naruto.
They flew to fast for anyone to react, a dust cloud enveloped Naruto, who barely had time to defend himself.
However, many of the spears bounced back and clinging noises were heard.
"It's nice to see you after all these years, Kuma." Everyone heard as the dust settled, revealing three people in front of Naruto.
"I am happy to see you too, Kakashi." Kuma said as he held out his hand, glove removed revealing his paw-pad.
Kakashi smirked, his headband not covering his eye to reveal his Sharingan.
In his hand was a massive cleaver like blade with a hole near the point and an indentation near the hilt.
"Focus you two, we have some… unwanted company." Griselda said as she placed her massive axe looking weapon over her shoulder, resting it there. It had an edge, but the strangest thing was it had what looked like a giant scroll with paper tags with kanji for 'Bomb' on them.
"I'm surprised you can handle Shibuki's recoil, Griselda." Kakashi said as he lifted his sword with ease.
"Same to you, using Kubikiribocho the way you do." Griselda retorted.
Kuma smiled a bit before becoming very stern as he gazed up at the beaten and battered Cardinal Fallen.
"Come on, we have a bird with wings that need to be clipped." He said coldly, removing his other glove.
Chapter 15, DONE!
Well, holy shit, Naruto is up to something and he was saved by Kuma, Kakashi, AND Griselda.
I wonder how he will take this, along with everyone else.
