*Walking around aimlessly while muttering to myself*

"But then… this thing should be here and this other here…," I suddenly feel a shiver run down through my back. *Looks up to sexy female secretary that somehow resembles Mabui*

"huh?... Whatever you mean I'm been gazed at? …" *Look behind myself and see a huge crowd all armed with pitchforks and torches*

"Uuuhh …... Hi?... Hehe… hehe…. OK." Sees how the huge crowd start to run "WAIT!"

Haaaa… Uhm… Hello Everyone… yeah I know, I know. Please put down the pitchforks and let me explain some things after the chapter is done in the final A N yes?

King Popoto.

A.A: Thanks for the not that bad part, and I'll honestly try to make it more understandable.

Mrenteria99.

A.A: Thanks as above I was given a lot of criticism so I'll get better :).

"WHAT MAKES US STRONG"

Chapter 8: Stop this ridiculuousness.

* Last time on What Makes Us Strong *

"YOU BASTARDS I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU!" Yasaka yells in her mind as the tail that just impaled the devil retracts itself freeing the now fresh corpse from it, her tails start to spread out, her killing intent rising and her whole nervous system filling up with enough adrenaline to make her see everything in slow motion as she gets ready to kill every devil and hero goons around her and her child.

"I'm sorry mommy…" Hic... "I'm really sorry."

"Onii…Sama…"

After hearing one of the reasons why her life is a mess call her name in such a childish and familial way, her emotions couldn't be contained anymore. Her face splits into such a maniacal and mirthful filled visage with her eyes open wide and her mouth set in a bloodlust filled grin, she turns around slowly and looks at her brother.

"I'm sorry Rias… I'm a failure of a brother… I have not been able to protect my little sister from such pain and sorrow, when I clearly told myself when you were born that I was going to protect you from everything like I promised your nephew Millicas." Sirzechs thinks as his tears fall freely knowing he can't apologize to his little sister thanks to his broken jaw and shaking resolution.

"Well shit-!" Naruto tries to swear but is stopped thanks to a hand grabbing him from behind and dragging him to where Shion, Hanabi and Shizuka are hiding and before he can hit the one that just grabbed him, he notices that it is Ino and that she is holding her index finger in front of her lips in a don't make noise motion.

"Ri… Rias… Ple… Please stop…"

"This… isn't you Rias… please stop…" Crack! Grunt!...

*Now*

"You know… When I was younger if someone told me that someday in the future I would be fighting a rampaging devil to save a princess, I would have told them 'bring it on I'm ready for anything' and then after defeating it I would have saved the 'princess in distress'… But it's kind of ironic that the princess in distress is the rampaging devil in this case… I mean… I'm not against taking down female fighters if it means to protect people. But I'm seriously, and I mean it, SERIOUSLY GOING TO PUNCH THE ASSHOLE THAT IS MESSING WITH MY LIFE SO HARD IN THE FACE!" Naruto thinks to himself as he keeps parring, dodging between intervals the mad raging Rias' kicks and punches feeling really exasperated because of the yet again messy situation he finds himself involved in again.

Right kick block using left forearm, left punch parry using right hand palm, dodge head-butt by bending back down and kick with right leg to get some breathing distance. This 'deadly' dance between Naruto and Rias has been going on for at least 10 consecutive minutes with Naruto holding back his punches and making sure Rias doesn't hit the unconscious people around them, but at the pace they were going he knew that Rias isn't likely to tire out anytime soon thanks to her increasing rage if her increasing speed is anything to go by.

Gack!

Seizing an opening, Naruto ducks under Rias' right kick that comes again in the same pattern as the last one and seeing her do a full 360° spin thanks to the force of the missed kick allows his open right palm to hit her dead centre on her chest between her breasts, right on top of her solar plexus. This action makes the mad Rias' eyes and mouth widen in surprise as she is sent sailing through the air in an ascending arc through the roof of the building making a new hole in it thanks to the force packed in the rather simple palm strike.

Watching her fly away involuntarily thanks to his palm thrust, Naruto knows that it is enough to allow himself to channel some chakra and make 7 clones. Jumping to follow Rias' through the hole he leaves his clones behind to lift and gather the unconscious people in one place.

Their job finished all but 1 last clone dispel themselves transferring the information of the safety of the unconscious people back to their creator. The last clone stays on guard and looks around in case any hostile being appears to attack the unconscious people.

Ugh!

"Wha-a-a-…" The clone hears the voice of one of the unconscious males grunt in some pain and try to talk. Turning around he sees the older looking redhead blink and rub his eyes while gritting his teeth and rub his forehead because of the pain.

"Where? … Rias!"

"RIAS!" GAH! The clone jumps a little in surprise because of the sudden surprise yell that Sirzechs lets out when he remembers his little sister and how his facial features change from distraught to desperate looking to full pain in less than a second.

"Woah! Calm down man. Rias is going to be okay."

"Yeah let's go with that."

"The boss is making sure to hold and calm her down without the need to harm her."

"Too much at least-ttebayo." The clone says and thinks to itself to try and calm Sirzechs down as he crouches in front of and holds Sirzechs' left shoulder with his right hand.

"You… You are Naruto, right?" "Wait… Boss? Does that mean that this one here is one of those solid clones? That is something Ajuka will love to know after all this ordeal." Sirzechs says and thinks after regaining control of his senses. He tries to sand up even though his whole body screams at him to not do it, but is pushed down by the clone which makes him grimace a little thanks to the pain. He looks up at the clone that forced him to lean back against the wall that is behind him and watches as it shakes its head in a 'don't even try it buddy' motion. He gets a little comfortable knowing that he can't move so much because of the bruises he still has all over his aching body that his little sister gave him. "How can I be sure of what you are telling me?"

"Well I would really like to show you how I would be able to do it…" The clone says as it scratches the back of his head nervously. "But… I honestly can't, so you'll have to kind of take my word for it. I promise you that she will be all right and I assure you I never break a promise."

"…."

"…."

"So… Yeah, you must be the leader of the devil faction and Rias' big brother, Chirches… Xerxes…. Corset….? I think" The clone looks to the side avoiding the amused stare that the crimson devil is giving him thanks to confusing his name.

"Sirzechs… the name's Sirzechs… it is a pleasure to meet you Naruto. Ugh…"

"I wouldn't try to move much if I were yah…"

"Yes, thanks for the advice Naruto."

"Well… Leaving pleasantries aside we do have some things to talk about and I would like for you to put some doubts of mine to rest." The clone says as he sits in front of Sirzechs and crosses his arms and legs.

"I see… What do you want to talk about? And what are these doubts you have?"

"Well, there are a lot of things. But, let's start with the basics yes?"

"Is Rias really going to be ok?"

"Yes, don't worry about her. She's going to be ok."

"Ok, let me see if I got what you just said right… You, belong to a terrorist group that isn't supposed to be a terrorist group, but more of a hunting group that the being known as Ophis created to reclaim her home." Hinata says as she repeats what the tied up and sore all over her body Kuroka just told them, which makes her rub her forehead a little in exasperation.

"B-But why? W-Why do all this?" Asia asks while she hugs the still distraught looking Kunou to her chest, whom then proceeds to look at Kuroka with some distrust.

After some minutes of uncomfortable eerie silence in which Kuroka just kept mulling to herself she finally sighs and looks at them "We aren't the ones doing these things ok? The ones doing all these things are the Hero faction and the old Satan faction that belong to our whole group called 'The Khaos Brigade'. As I told you, each group have their own goals and each member their own reasons for been where they are and they just do whatever they want, because our boss allows them to. That's why we want your help, nya! Because we want to help Ophis achieve success on her final goal so she can get away from those other factions. Because we know they must be planning something that could jeopardize the whole world and we absolutely want nothing to do with that. Nya!" Kuroka says while looking at Hinata, Asia and Kunou with an intense gaze and frustrated feelings.

A staring contest ensued between the mentioned girls until Kunou gently releases herself from Asia's grip and walks slowly to stand in front of Kuroka. She lifts her right palm and gathers some magic on it making it visible, which makes Kuroka and Asia widen their eyes in surprise/shock and Hinata look on impassively waiting for Kunou's next move (read answer).

Thud!

"If you really mean what you have just said, then please help us rescue mommy." Kunou says as she looks at the surprised Kuroka directly in the eyes while the rope hits the ground around her.

"I… I promise Kunou-chan, I promise and I will make sure that this new opportunity you have given me will not be wasted nya!" Kuroka says feeling relieved that the young kitsune released her from the restraints.

As Kuroka moves and stands up slowly to get the feeling back on her limbs "I know Kunou-chan has given you one more chance and to respect her wish I too will give you one more chance, even though, you have only been springing surprise after surprise on all of us in the short amount of time we've got to know each other." Hinata says as she gets closer and lifts Kunou on her arms and walks back to stand by Asia's right side facing away from Kuroka.

"But…"

A soft wind blows strongly through the forest making every girl's hair wave with it as Hinata's grip on Kunou tightens a little protectively.

"If you dare to break Kunou's, Naruto-kun or anyone I care for heart, hopes or dreams I swear I will not stop beating you up until you are just not only able to not move but will regret crossing the wrong person" Hinata says as she releases a calming breath and starts to walk in the opposite direction of the main building with Asia turning around and following her closely.

"What should we do now Hinata-san? Where should we go? I don't think this place is safe anymore for any of us." Asia asks Hinata while they keep walking with Kuroka not far behind them.

"Right now, as you just said Asia this place is no longer safe. We need to move away from here with Kunou-chan and find a safe place to settle down until things have calmed down. I actually don't think all that has happened would have been possible if there wasn't someone from the youkai involved in this attack besides her." Hinata says as she grips Kunou's body tighter and refuses to call Kuroka by her name.

"Ok, Hinata-san. Do we need to pack up things to carry with us?" Asia asks curiously because she doesn't know if they will have time to gather supplies with them.

"No, right now our priority is to find that safe place. Come on Asia-chan grab onto my back, we will find that safe place faster this way." Hinata says as she kneels in front of Asia waiting for her to climb onto her back.

"B-but Hinata-san you are already carrying Kunou-chan on your arms won't it be difficult to carry both of us at the same time?" Asia says feeling uncertain because she doesn't want to strain Hinata more than she should.

"Don't worry about that Asia-chan, I am a shinobi. Carrying one or two light-weight persons on my body is nothing. I've actually had to carry more than 4 people on one mission to get them to a safe place, so carrying you two is nothing much to be honest." Hinata says and looks back to Asia giving her a sincere smile which makes Asia nod and put her arms around Hinata's neck and her legs around her stomach.

"Ok, hang on real tight because I will get us out of here really fast and I'm sorry for the rough movement" Hinata says as she adjusts her body a little and pumps chakra through her limbs giving her the boost needed to start running real fast and away from their place of residence for the last week, leaving Kuroka behind knowing she will just appear besides them thanks to her magic power.

"Eek!" "Kyahaha!"

"Of course I had to be left behind nya!"

-WMUS-

"Do you think that Naruto-kun is going to be able to stop that raging woman out there?" Shion asks as she looks in the direction of the school building where she sees a body going airborne really fast.

"I wouldn't really worry too much about Naruto honestly" Ino says while she points with her thumb in the direction of a second body following the sailing first one.

"I… see"

"Well, that's a kind of predictable outcome if we take into consideration that Naruto is recognized globally for his prowess and involvement in the 4th ninja war" Hanabi says while keeping an eye on the still knocked out girl resting under the tree they are taking cover under.

"So… You all Konoha shinobi basically don't fear that something could happen to him at all?" Shizuka asks while she crosses her arms under her bust and leans against the same tree.

"Oh no, I wouldn't say we don't fear that something couldn't happen to him. But it's more like he's recognized as the strongest shinobi of our current time, it is very interesting to see how far he truly has come since the academy days." Ino says as she puffs her front hair bang and crosses her arms under her bust.

"It sounds like you aren't too fond that such a thing happened…"

"It's not that I'm not glad or fond or whatever, it's just… To see him come so far, someone that wasn't supposed to be such a great deal. Become so strong and well versed all around makes one feel… inferior, yeah that's the word I'm looking for… Inferior…"

"Inferior? Why is that?" Shizuka says as her left eyebrow raises while feeling curious about Ino's choice of words.

"Well… It's just that most of our class was composed of well-known civilian families and most of the heirs from the most prominent and recognizable Konoha clans. We… ok, don't get me wrong. I even once stated that I could be able to fall in love with him after the invasion of pein in Konoha." Ino says and lift her arms in a placating manner after seen the different reactions from the other girls, mostly meaning, looking at her incredulously.

"It's just his achievements makes you think that truly it doesn't matter where you come from or that your origins mean nothing if you are not willing to fight tooth and nail, bleed, sweat, cry, give it your all until nothing remains and even after that give more than you've already given so you achieve everything you want. It makes you feel kind of frustrated. Sure, it inspires you to be a hard worker and so… Look, I know I'm just rambling and I know that it is a good thing."

"Then what is the problem?" Shion asks with a raised eyebrow wondering what does the blonde kunoichi want to get at.

"That it's not fair that we must struggle to get things go our way… True if things were different and we didn't have to struggle then we would be conceited or someone so totally different from who we are right now…" Ino says as she crosses her arms again.

"Not that I don't get where you coming from with this… but why now? I mean… What brought this kind of sudden reasoning right now?" Hanabi says as she stands up after confirming that the becspectacled black hair woman is in a comfortable position and breathing evenly.

"Some things, ok… Things happen that makes you think a lot of things that never crossed your mind before… I actually just feel a lot of frustration right now as I stated, nothing more nothing less." Ino says while she looks at the shining full moon.

"Mmmm… Do you wish to talk about these frustration inducing things?" Shizuka asks as she walks and stands besides Hanabi with her right hand on her right hip.

"We are open to talking you know; besides we are going to be here for a long time." "Basically the rest of our lives" "So it is better if we are open to one another with things that we don't like." Shion says and thinks as she too stands besides Hanabi with her left hand or her left hip.

"Oh right, you girls mentioned something like that before, that this mission was going to be a long one. We already found our 'objective' and are following his orders as stated by Hokage-sama. So our priority right now is getting them back and giving the good news to everyone back in the elemental nations that Naruto and Hinata are not actually dead. This mission took less time than it was planned for honestly" Ino says as she looks at them expectantly while she places her hands on her hips waiting for an answer.

"Ino… You were in the mission briefing… You can't honestly tell us that you seriously don't know what we were involving ourselves into when we all agreed to this 'mission'… Can you?" Hanabi looks expectantly at her with a raised eyebrow waiting for her answer while she crosses her arms over her bust.

"Yeah, that once we got here we were supposed to find clues on the whereabouts of Naruto and Hinata, and then once found. We needed to regroup with them and follow Naruto's orders because he was assigned as the squad leader. As stated in the scroll given to all of us… What?" Ino inquires and feels curiously perplexed thanks to the unbelieved stares she's receiving from the three kunoichis.

"…"

"…"

"..."

"Ino… I don't know if you were really so out of it or any other thing, but we need you to listen to us and listen well." Shizuka says after some seconds of silent staring between them all.

"What, what is it?"

"Ino, this isn't just a mission about finding and regrouping with Naruto and Hinata"

"This is a no return official assignment… We aren't just gonna up and return like nothing"

"Which means that we were already relieved from our duties as official shinobi from the elemental countries altogether when we voluntarily accepted this mission…"

With each uttered sentences leaving from each of the kunoichis mouth, meaning Shizuka, Shion and Hanabi respectively. Ino eyes open wide in disbelief while her mind tries to process what she has just been told.

"Haaaa!... What the hell do you mean we were relieved from our duties as shinobi?"

"Exactly as it seems Ino, we no longer are in the elemental nations. Each of us accepted this mission because we knew that we were going to stay and live here with Naruto and Hinata" "Well more specifically Naruto but it's kind of the same thing, so… yeah."

"You must be joking right? I mean I was there. Sure I admit that I wasn't thinking properly because I had a lot of things going through my mind in those moments. But to make such a life altering decision I don't think I would be so stupid to make it on a whim, wait…" "Now that I remember I truly was in that mission briefing, but why is it kind of blurry… I can't remember very well… OW!"

Each of the girls' watch in mild surprise how Ino starts to think real hard after telling them to wait and after some seconds grabs her head in pain.

"Ino are you alright?" Shizuka asks while she walks tentatively to help the still in distress Ino, but stops herself when she sees Hanabi's right hand blocking her path

"Hanabi-san?"

"Wait… I know this kind of behaviour; this can only mean one thing"

"What does it mean Hanabi?" Shion asks not turning her line of sight away from the now dry heaving Ino.

"It's a genjuntsu, and not just a simple one. It's a strong genjutsu" 'Byakugan!'

"I see, then does this mean that she was controlled to make the decision to come here without her consentment?"

"That seems to be a very plausible conclusion right now… Let me see… There, right here." Hanabi looks all over Ino's body searching for any indication where the genjutsu is located. Once she finds the spot where the chakra keeps flowing, she gets closer to Ino and taps it with her chakra covered fingers making Ino stop her erratic movements.

"Ugh… What the hell… Ugh…!" Ino groans as she falls on the awaiting arms of Hanabi "Thank you Hanabi-chan…"

"You don't have to thank me a single thing. What is the last thing you remember Ino? Anything before this mission?" Hanabi makes sure to keep Ino in a safe and tender grip as to not make her feel more pain than she already had.

"I remember… talking to Sai, then he… He… THAT BASTARD! He was the one to put me in the genjutsu! After that I do remember going to the mission briefing after having a big fight with him. Then making decisions and now I'm here… What the actual fuck?" Ino's face keeps showing her distressed nature and what happened to her until settling in a disbelieving facial expression with her eyes open wide and mouth hanging open.

"Mmm… This looks like a case of mild mind control jutsu. One can see and make decisions as if they are their own, but in the end they are just being controlled to do another's biding… But this genjutsu is not supposed to work on highly trained Kunoichi nor Shinobis. This technique can only work on low level chakra civilians and some academy students as pranks…" Hanabi says and rubs her forehead with her right hand trying to think on how such a low rank trick could work on someone trained like Ino.

"I remember that while we were talking he kept making the movements for the genjutsu but, they movements weren't some normal hand movements. I thought he was being funny and trying to make me laugh. Then just nothing. Wait… He didn't. Did he?" Ino looks at Hanabi with dreadful/hopeful eyes waiting for her to confirm her fears.

"No, it doesn't look like that happened, so you can rest assured." Hanabi reassures her, which make Ino calm down a heave a deep sigh of relief.

"Well… I'm glad that nothing happened. Although, I'm wondering. Why? Why did he do that? What was his goal in using a genjutsu and how the hell was he able to make it work on me if it's such a low level genjutsu?" Ino sighs and rubs her forehead trying to comprehend the situation she's finding herself in that moment while still being held by Hanabi.

"I honestly could make a random guess, but I don't think that it can be a right one." Hanabi inquires, but shakes her head once she refuses such a random and inconsistent guess on her mind.

"I see… Well, I honestly don't have much energy right now and I feel kinda sore. So, I'm up to staying here until Naruto comes." Ino sighs and lays down on the cold grass and looks at the night sky.

"That is a good idea, although, are you sure you don't want to keep talking?" Shion says getting closer together with Shizuka towards Ino.

"Right now, not really. I feel too tired as I said and really don't want to dwell too much on things. Although I do need a full on explanation of everything that's happening and what-not…"

"Yeah don't worry, everything will be cleared up when things settle down…" Hanabi stands and walks closer to the still sleeping bespectacled woman against the tree.

"Ok, so what do you girls think we should do with this one? I mean sure we can bring her with us but I don't think that's a good idea…" Hanabi looks at the other girls and sees them shrug their shoulders not knowing the correct answer.

"I see… So basically we are stuck with her until she wakes up or Naruto tells us what to do, right?" Shizuka stares at Hanabi whom is now sitting besides the unconscious girl.

"Well… Yeah, and we need to give the mission scroll to him too. Give him the other scrolls too and wait for his orders as stated in the briefing." Shion tilts her head and looks at the sky wondering when Naruto will come.

"Honestly… Right now I'm really up for waiting. I really don't think I feel like moving too much anyways."

"Yeah…"

-WMUS-

"Ne, ne, Naruto-kun, Hinata-chan…"

"Yes? / Yeah?"

"Why were you two here on this cold environment?"

"Well, I was helping Hinata-chan against some bad kids… And then I was about to go away, but she called me to talk to her and now... She's my first friend." Young Naruto tells the confused looking young Rias who nods her head after watching him smile brightly.

"I see, then you both found me here, right?"

"Yep, although you sure were a little loud." Naruto scrunches up his face in confusion while crossing his arms.

"Ano… What were you doing in a place like this?" Hinata inquires tilting her head to the right side while cradling Naruto's scarf closer to her.

"Hmmm… Well I'm actually not from here I was-"

"Hey Hinata-chan why are you still keeping my damaged scarf?" Naruto interrupts Rias which makes her tilt her head in Hinata's direction.

Their curious gazes make her feel a little nervous and she looks down while playing with the scarf a little "I was thinking of fixing it for you Naruto-kun if you are ok with that?"

"Really? That's awesome Hinata-chan, I'd really like to have my scarf to keep me warm. Although I did tell you to not mind it, but well, thanks for offering to fix it." Naruto grins widely with both hands behind his head.

This action makes Hinata look at Naruto and blush while Rias looks between them curiously "So, you two know where I am? I mean I remember I was in a forest near my home and now I'm here… Although I do remember making a deal with some kind of purple snake…" Rias looks up at the sky reminiscing what happened that made her appear in this place.

"A purple snake? A pact? What do you mean?" Naruto and Hinata look at Rias with confusion and surprise marring their faces not knowing what Rias means with those words.

"Yeah, you see I escaped from home-"

"What? Why would you do that?!" Naruto surprises both girls by his sudden outburst which makes him blush and look away "I mean…"

"No, it's ok Naruto-kun. I know that what I did was not right, but I really wanted to get away from my family. They did something that I didn't like very much, it made me really angry with them that's why I escaped from them."

"Huh? Whatever did they do to make you be angry at them?" Naruto tilts his head in confusion not really knowing what she means "I mean; family is supposed to take care of each other. I don't think they would do something to harm you or something like that."

"Well… They actually wanted to look out for me. But they really didn't. I mean, before I escaped I was told that when I come of age I will marry this pureblood devil called Riser phenex, they told me that this is for the great of the pure bloodline of our clans. And a lot of more complicated stuff, which I really don't remember that well." Rias pouts after watching Naruto and Hinata look at her like she grew a second head, knowing that if she tried to explain a lot of complicated stuff they really won't comprehend her because of the different things all around her.

"I mean, I really wasn't against the idea of meeting him and so. After all my mom and dad got married this way, but after meeting him I really didn't like him at all. He's a bully and doesn't really care much about me, he rambled on and on about how his prestige would rank up and what-not. I really couldn't stand him, and the most hateful thing is that he just thinks of me as nothing more than a trophy and wants me to be a part of his Harem."

"Huh… I don't really get it at all. You don't want to marry this guy, so why not simply tell your family about it?" Naruto tilts his head to the right with his arms crossed and a pout marring his face feeling confused as to why Rias just didn't tell them that.

"I did, but they just simply told that it was for the good of all our people. That it would bring great honour to all of my family for generations. I didn't really like it, they were so mean. They didn't even allow me to explain what happened and took everything I said as if it was a mere joke. This made me really mad and then I ran away." Some tears fall freely from Rias' eyes after remembering the things her own mother, father and older brother told her, making her feel really angry at them.

"Uhm… Well… Now that you are h-here. What are you going to do Rias-chan? I m-mean, you left your home. Where are you going to live now? By the way you are in a forest near the academy of Konohagakure no Sato." Hinata blushes once she notices Naruto's and Rias' gaze land on her making her nervous.

"I don't know… I just wanted to be away from them, and not be disturbed at all. I wanted time to think to myself. But now that you ask, I truly don't know where I'm going to live. I don't even know this place at all… guuuh…" Rias pouts and looks at the snow covered terrain with her eyes shining with unshed tears now realizing that she's all alone as she wanted, but feels regret because she won't be able to see her family again.

"Well… You could stay with me until your family finds you if you want. But well, I think it would be better if you stayed in Hinata's home. She has a big home after all." Naruto looks up with a thoughtful look, then looks in Hinata's direction when he remembers her big home.

"I could h-help Rias-chan… But I don't t-think father is going to allow it… Sorry…" Hinata looks down feeling sad because she knows how her father can be real strict and wouldn't allow her to bring someone over so suddenly.

"Hmmm… Well… I really would like to go with you…"

"Sir, we've detected an anomaly regarding Universe 7 from dimension 4 and Universe 20 from dimension 7…"

"Hmmm… Whatever you mean?"

"Sir… These two dimensions have made contact with each other…"

"What? Made contact? How was that possible? They shouldn't be able to make contact to one another at all."

"The Gremory heiress trespassed the interdimensional barriers, we tried to stop such a thing from happening. We couldn't do it to a certain degree, because if we continued, her life and every other being known as Rias Gremory would have ceased to exist from any and all other dimensions and universes."

"How did she even trespass the barriers? THAT is ridiculuous! She's supposed to be only a seven years old in that High School DxD dimension. And that Naruto dimension too is supposed to be a young one."

"Sir we've found a backdoor on the system data, we have a-"

"I see, and what's happening right now? Is there a way to fix the problem?"

"Due to her 'sudden interference' story events changed to a certain degree in the Naruto universe sir."

"Hmmm… Which are these events?"

"One of the minor events is that the young heiress Hinata Hyûga has made full contact with young Naruto Uzumaki. And, both of them have made contact with Rias Gremory."

"For fucks sake. This can't be allowed to continue on, if Naruto Uzumaki isn't isolated from the village at such a young age thanks to Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi. Then his growth will be stunted for the future, he won't take the will of fire up nor want to be a sacrificial pawn for the village as the future 7th Hokage. Most of the normal events that should happen, will never happen in the first place. We need to separate them now and erase their memories of ever meeting in the first place."

"Sir, it won't be possible."

"What do you mean that it won't be possible? Anything is possible for us! We are the ones that control dimensions 1 through 10 with each dimension having at least 30 different universes. We make sure their stories are kept intact and that they do not interfere with each other so the 'watchers' are satisfied with them."

"Sir, it won't be possible because the Gremory heiress have been registered in the Naruto universe as one of its beings. Thanks to this the development of the High School DxD universe has been halted altogether because the Gremory heiress doesn't exist anymore, and the development of the Naruto Universe is now developing faster."

"That bastard Karnel… He knew that we would directly interfere, in this way we won't be able to do so… What the hell are we going to do now…? Why the hell did he do it in the first place?"

"Sir, if I may? Can I suggest a solution?"

"Go ahead Taron, I know you are one of our best along with team A and B. That's why I put you in charge of that section."

"Sir, we can try to …"

"I see… So your plan to use my power to free this ancient being to help you get rid of Ophis-sama and Great Red. I just wonder though… How is that even going to be possible? I have no relationship whatsoever to this being at all…" Yasaka lets a smile full of mirth grace her beautiful face while she looks at the renegade hero faction whom are looking around the glowing-rune filled chamber. (!)

"Heh… That's where you are wrong 'Yasaka-sama'… You see, the being sealed inside this chamber is something beyond the comprehension of any natural and supernatural being. This being is capable of obliterating whole dimensions. This being can bring out the human race to the top, because that's our destiny. We will take control of it and once it has finished erasing the other races then we will simply dispose of it. And you, Yasaka-sama, are the last piece needed to bring out this being that has been sealed for millions of years…" Cao Cao gives a widely mad grin which splits his face and makes Yasaka recoil a little because of the frightening visage in front of her.

"What do you mean? How can I be related or be a piece to unseal this being? Don't tell me… It… It's Trihexa… Boy! You shouldn't be playing with ancient beings! They are dangerous for any being be it Natural or supernatural for a reason! You are going to bring destruction to every living being in this planet, stop this madness now!" Yasaka's rage, fear and distress could be felt lacing her voice after listening to Cao Cao's delusional rambles about controlling a being like Trihexa. She knows that Trihexa isn't a being you can simply control. No, just no, that was stupid, real stupid. That being lived only to destroy and consume anything and everything in its wake leaving absolutely nothing. If the stupid boy (reincarnation, descendant or whatever other shit) in front her truly believed that he could take control of such a being, then he is truly delusional and is condemning the whole world to extinction itself.

"Heh… Hehe… Ahahaha… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!" The continuous mad induced laugh makes everyone around Cao Cao take a step backwards in fear noticing how his hysterical mirth took place after taking in the fearful and rage filled features of Yasaka.

After nearly 2 full minutes of continuous hysterical laugh everyone, including Cao Cao's team were slowly preparing themselves to take him down, because they knew that what is happening in that moment isn't something normal. The normal Cao Cao would be filled with mirth and give a sarcastic/sardonic laugh and continue giving his human to the top speech. But, the one in front of them. It's the first time they felt true fear and heard him laugh like that. When they were ready to finally take the first step.

"You know, hehe… That's the first time the stupidity and deafness of a leader of the supernatural faction has make me laugh real hard… No, my dear Yasaka-sama, I'm not aming to unseal Samael, Trihexa or any other being known in this era. No, no, you see… The being I'm going to unseal is older, more ancient that the creation of this world. This being is a primordial, a mindless beast that will be under my-our command. This being will be the perfect tool to help the human race. Hehe…" "Yes… This being will help you accomplish that which you have wished all your life, the extermination of all the supernatural beings in this world." "Yes, yes! And once I've exterminated all these damned pests, the new order where only the human beings rule supreme can begin. Hehehehehehe…" "Yes young one, with my help after all this time the supernatural will be eradicated and we humans will finally be free of their stench" "Every damn stench reeking in this forsaken place, you will all return where you belong." "And in the wake, no, the dawn of the new era for humanity you shall be crowned as its emperor." "As it should have been from long ago." "Anyways, even with your incredible power the awakening of this being will take us some time. So, I hope you get comfortable because you will be staying here for a long time." Cao Cao regained his posture so suddenly and started talking normally in such a way that made everyone drop their guard and take some more steps back from him, fearing that the next wrong step could be their last. Turning around he looked at his teammates Georg and Siegfried to start the procedure to which they complied not wanting to inquire his ire.

Turning around once more Cao Cao started to walk to a teleportation circle on the other side of the chamber, this prompted his teammates to start giving orders all around "In some time, just some more time everything will be as it should have been." Hehehehehehe…

"This is not good, this isn't good at all. I need to get this young one to safety. The delusions of that mad man are starting to overflow his serene facade… At first, I thought we were doing the right thing. But now, I don't like what is happening, don't worry Kunou-chan you will be safe I promise you. I at least owe this much to your mother, even if it costs me my life." Asuna walks hurriedly away with a frown marring her beautiful features from the place in the forest after making sure that Cao Cao nor anyone from his entourage is following her. She knew she had to escape and leave Kunou somewhere safe so she could be rescued by the persons that were taking care of her. Because, if she tried to take Kunou with her she knew she would be putting her in danger thanks to the rambunctious lot called the Khaos brigade, especially that bastard Rhizevim. She didn't even want to think about that fucking degenerate called Diodora. Just thinking about him makes her skin crawl and get goosebumps of disgust.

"Anyways, now where was the direction of the main building so I can make sure she is safe…" Ugh! "Seriously! Where was that damned place?!" "Asuna-chan…"

Kyah!

"What?! Who?! Where?!" The sudden voice inside her mind makes Asuna jump in surprise and let out a cute squeal, but catching herself and securing little Kunou on her arms she looks around making sure she's alone and not feeling any presence at all just make her feel more nervous by the second.

"Calm down Asuna-chan, it's me…"

"Eh?! AH! Megami-sama!"

"Yes, it's me Asuna-chan, have you calmed down?"

Geez! "Megami-sama you do know well that I'm making sure that Kunou-chan is safe as per your instructions. I'm a nervous wreck trying to not get caught here." "I think I peed myself a little… Nope just my imagination and a lot of nervous sweat…" Asuna's right eyebrown frowns in concentration and after some seconds of confirming that nothing has happened a surprised look crosses her face once she remembers that the goddess can easily read what she's thinking and that if she's 'talking' to her it means she's in a safe place at the moment.

Uhm…

Hehehe "Don't worry Asuna-chan, I admit it was my fault in the first place… Anyways, I think you can get Kunou-chan here with us. She's going to be safe in our realm with my other sisters too. We can easily protect her." The goddess' voice giggles at the beginning and the sounds hopeful when she says the last part.

"Don't take this as an insult Megami-sama, but I honestly don't feel that Kunou-chan would be safe in your realm. Especially with your two sisters around… You do know how they behave, right? Especially when they are bored and find something interesting or cute." Asuna sweatdrops knowing how the goddesses do act.

"None taken, I do admit that my sisters can get a little carried away… OK! THEY DO GET CARRIED AWAY! HAPPY?!" The goddess couldn't stand the pressure of the 'stare' that Asuna always gives her when she's making the 'are you seriously trying to lie' face towards her, even though she knows that she can't see her in that moment.

Ahem!

"Anyways! I think if you continue straight in that direction you will find the main building, although I still think it would be better if she comes to stay with us…"

"I'm sorry Megami-sama, but you know that I can't do that…"

"Yes, I know… Anyways, once you've gotten her to the building. I need you to come here, we need to check out if things are working as they should"

"Understood Megami-sama, thank you for your help"

BOOM!

Feeling the earth shaking beneath her feet and looking up in the direction where the sound of the explosion came from, a frown of worry marring her face, Asuna decides to hurry her steps and dashes in the direction of the explosion.

Once in the place she sees the two girls that were living with Yasaka-sama panting on the ground and confirming that they are ok, she decides to back away some more and leave Kunou resting against a tree gently. Before she leaves though she decides to make sure that the girls are truly going to find Kunou and verifying it she disappears with a burst of speed leaving the young kitsune in the care of the other girls.

-WMUS-

"Oooooooook... please tell me this is a joke right?"

"Well… I would like to tell you that it is, but... Honestly, if I didn't see it, even I myself wouldn't believe it…"

"I mean… I was expecting to fight and then knock my opponent out, like seriously, some minutes ago we were just trying to kick each other's asses out… But this is truly ridiculuous!"

"Hey, don't look at me. As I pointed out even I am baffled at what is happening in this moment…"

Both Jinchuuriki and Bijuu can't still take the bafflement out of their faces after seeing the once mad Rias now cuddling and hugging Naruto while she keeps leaving butterfly kisses on his cheeks, neck and chest. These kisses have the desired effect of making Naruto shudder and gasp in fright and excitement (a weird mix of feelings if you ask him) knowing that if Hinata sees what's happening then he can consider himself a dead man. Not only that it's a good thing that she's not there with him in that moment, but also that the other Kunoichis are a safe distance away to not see something so ridiculuous happening to him.

And why isn't Naruto pushing Rias away nor trying to knock her out? Well it's easy to be honest as she has both their bodies pressed against a tree while her crotch keep rubing against his growing bulge, that if he tried to separate she would growl and bite him. He did try to push her away the first time, let's just say that he wanted his most sacred parts to honestly be intact in that moment and afterwards thank you very much.

How did he even end up in this position again?

Well, if he remembers right. He landed some distance away in front of the then standing Rias. After some seconds of intense staring both positioned themselves in their stances, Naruto a defending one, while Rias bent herself forward in all fours ready to pounce. Which, not even 10 seconds later she did pounce on him. He defended himself as he dodged her first right arm hit and pushed her aside, she then took him by surprise when instead of attacking him, she feigned the next punch and went inside his guard. While trying to protect himself he didn't take into account that he let himself wide open for her and she pushed themselves hard against a tree that was behind himself. This sudden movement made him lose his breath for a little time and he tried to hit her in the back of her head. But, she paralyzed him when she suddenly and abruptly deep kissed him with tongue and everything. This sudden move made him totally freeze and be pushed against the tree further in.

And that's why he is in this predicament right now… Trying to figure out a way to knock Rias out while not losing his manhood, thank you very much.

"I'd say let her satisfy herself and then maybe she will calm down?" Kurama shrugs after giving his advice thinking that maybe that will help Naruto in the current 'predicament'.

"Seriously? And if she tries to have s-sex…" Haaa… "With me…" Haaa… Naruto keeps shuddering and moaning a little, trying really hard not to succumb to his base desires of pinning Rias down against the earth and fucking her senseless, knowing that first she's not in her right mind in that moment and that second they basically just know each other for no more than 3 days.

"Well, you have to make a compromise here Naruto. I'm sure that your mate will understand if you explain it to her in a calm manner… Or simply don't tell her that it happened…" Kurama shrugs again not really caring what happens, in the end it's a win-win situation he thinks.

"Dude, that's not cool-ttebayo. First I won't betray my love for Hinata. Second I won't take advantage of a girl that is not…" Haa… Haa… Haaaaaaa… "NOT IN Her Right mind!" Naruto keeps shuddering and grips the bark of the tree behind himself real hard making it crack after feeling Rias' wetness cover his kimono-covered raging bulge in that moment trying real hard to not crack under the pressure of wanton lust and sex in that moment.

After some minutes (which felt like hours for him) of this agonizing/delicious torture he finally feels Rias' shudder and heave a deep breath laced moan, while giving him a final deep kiss which makes him crack the tree behind him but not make it fall. He feels her slump against his body while grabing the back of his kimono. But this doesn't mean that he's ready to move yet. He keeps taking deep greedy gulps of calming oxygen and knowing that he really, really doesn't want to move in that moment, because the cause of his discomfort is still clinging to him really tight and it isn't making it easier on his pretty shambled psyche.

Finally regaining his composure, he let's the tree go and stands up while accommodating the now peacefully sleeping Rias on his arms in a bridal carry style. Looking down at her, he notices the peaceful smile she has on in that moment which makes him smile.

"Ok, gotta admit that when she's calm she looks really cute." Naruto keep smiling to himself and after some seconds finally snaps out of it and starts walking in the direction where he can feel Hanabi, Ino, Shion and Shizuka's chakra.

OOOOK! That's it for today's chapter… I know I've taken a lot of time (2+ years) to bring out the next chapter… But as I said. Let me explain.

I'll be honest with you guys, the last time I wrote a chapter of this fanfic I had a huge writers block and got totally dejected to even try to pump out a new chapter…

After that I had to finally finih things for my university degree, real life, things here and thing there…

It was a total mess honestly. In this year, more specifically some months back I finally could get my degree and was working some time (sadly not all works last forever…) and finally got out of my funky writers block, so yeah.

I'm back guys/girls. I apologize for the long wait honestly. But you know, with no job right now I have no source of income. I'm managing somehow and writing helps me. Anyways.

Hope you guys liked the new chapter. Peace and Rickv out until a new chapter comes.
