Review Response:
Calderoneric758: No, I have never heard of this.
Guest: It should be obvious that Orochimaru and Doflamingo aren't the people after him, just the people doing the kidnapping.
A10riddick: Thank you. Hopefully this chapter is good too.
VincenteVanCoco04: Jiraiya saying something to Naruto before being sealed? Hm, maybe. Does anyone else want Naruto and Jiraiya to meet before Jiraiya returns to the Pure Lands.
Dig Saddler: Thank you, yeah, I had fun writing the other members, Pyrrha Leraje, Aria Barbatos, and Serendine Zepar. They are fun to write. Hopefully I stuck the landing with Naruto and Gaara.
Hyuma: That is a very tall order man, but hopefully, I was able to make it just right, especially Doflamingo vs the Bael Peerage.
Guest: You have no idea how hard it was. I had to do some research for the chapter before doing anything.
Guest: Thank you, no seriously, thank you. Not many people think my fight scenes are good, so I am a bit self-conscious about them. As for Sabo Vs Kimimaro, I hope it's to your liking.
Guest: Thank you. And you are… pretty much correct.

Chapter 52: Dancing Puppets
Diodora's Castle, Gremory Group 2…
Koneko walked along side Issei and Gasper up a flight of stairs.
"I wonder why Rias sent only three of us to fight off ten people." Gasper questioned in slight uncertainty.
"Because I can make Shadow Clones that are real." Koneko told him, since he didn't know she could do it.
"Oh, so you are like a one-person army." Gasper pointed out.
"Yeah, sure she is." Issei replied in disinterest, making Koneko and Gasper look at him in confusion.
'I know Asia has been captured, but what is up Issei's butt?' Koneko thought before she shook her head and they continued on.
They walked in silence and cautiously, eventually coming to a floor that was open, with columns like a Greek temple to reveal the outside and the fights going on, showing the others in their peerage about to reach the next floor like they did.
Standing there were Diodora's Pawns and Rooks, which were all women, all ready for a fight.
Issei activated his balance breaker as Koneko pulled on her boxing gloves and used magic to dawn her white fighting kimono while Gasper prepared himself to use his sacred gear.
'Something isn't right…' Koneko thought as she blocked a punch from a Queen Promoted Pawn as a strange glowing marking spread across their arm and face.
Meanwhile, Gremory Group 1…
Rias, Akeno, Kiba, and Irina soon arrived on a floor like the one opposite to them, and met Diodora's Queen, Bishops, and Knights.
Like the Pawns and Rooks in the opposite building, they were all women.
"Before we begin, tell us why Diodora took Asia?" Rias demanded as she and Akeno were covered in magic while Kiba summoned his Sword of Betrayer (Ready to switch his Balance Breaker for his Dragon Knights if necessary) and Irina summoned Hiramekarei.
"That is no need of yours." The Queen stated as she, the Knights, and Bishops started to laugh as markings appeared from under their clothing and spread across their arms, legs, and face.
'What is that?' Rias thought as she felt a sudden spike in their power. 'Is this… chakra?'
The Queen raised her arms, a sick yet pained smile on her face as she channeled her power through her hands, magic circles appeared in them and blasting magic at them.
Rias and Akeno took to the air as Irina and Kiba dodged to the side.
Irina barely had time to raise Hiramekarei to block one of the Knights swords, Kiba summoning a second Sword of Betrayer to block with as he was pushed back, his feet creating grooves in the ground.
'How are they so strong?' Irina thought as she stored magic into her sword. 'It shouldn't be possible with just magic alone.'
She pushed back, and backed off from the Knight.
The Knight, who wielded a broadsword, didn't show any fear as she braced herself and charged Irina.
"LIGHTNING!" Akeno shouted from the air, one fallen angel wing and one devil wing keeping her afloat, as lightning struck the ground before Irina and the Knight.
Taking the opportunity presented to her, Irina stepped forward and swung Hiramekarei horizontally.
"HIRAMEKAREI, RELEASE!" She shouted, the magic stored within extending into a long sword and slicing into the Knight's arm, taking it off.
However, the Knight grabbed her sword as it flew in the air with the severed limb, and jumped Irina.
In her shock, Irina didn't have time to block before the Knight came down on her and stabbed her shoulder
"These five have been blessed with a gift from Orochimaru." Diodora laughed over the intercom. "And I put a spell on them. They will ignore all pain and they won't feel fear, so go ahead, fight them if you can!"
Irina grunted in pain before the Knight was pushed off of her by Akeno.
"That sick son of a bitch!" Akeno shouted as she landed. "How could he do that to his own Peerage?"
Diodora laughed hysterically.
"They are all means to an end, because soon, I'll have what I want. Asia will be mine and Sairaorg's head will be on a plate." Diodora laughed.
'He is insane.' Rias thought as she evaded another blast from the Queen.
"Come here, Gremory~" The Queen said in a sing song tone as she attacked one after the other. "Let's play~"
Kiba was sick of this, and in an instant, deactivated his Sword of Betrayer, and activated his eight Glory Drag Troopers, and all of them converged on the Queen.
She took two steps back, dodged the first two with simple head tilts, then slouched forward and side stepped the next two, before thrusting her hands forward and blasting the last four out of existence, making Kiba's magic drop at their destruction.
"Ha-ha, this is fun, but…" She started to say before solidified magic spikes impaled her body.
Irina felt guilt boil in her stomach as she ended her attack.
'It was cheap, but I purposely missed her vitals.' She thought with watery eyes. 'Now we need to take out the Knights and Bishops.'
Said Bishops activated healing magic as their Queen took a knee, their magic seals a shade of green with the patterns on their bodies replicated on the seals edges.
The magic Bone Spikes Irina used were forced out of the Queens body as her wounds and clothes were sealed shut and restored.
"Ah, good one, but not enough." The Queen said as she conjured demonic fire in her hands. "Round two."
The second Knight darted towards Rias. Her rapier being blocked by a magic shield Rias made in a split second before she created a second from the Queen's fire attack.
Akeno shot a bolt of Lightning at the Knight, making her jump away from Rias, as Kiba stepped beside Rias, his remaining Drag Knights being divided between the King and Queen of Gremory.
"So, there are five of us." The Queen pointed out as she pointed to themselves. "And then four of you, including those four dragons. Deal with them first."
The two knights nodded at their order.
"GO!" Kiba shouted as the four remaining Drag Knights attacked the two Astaroth Knights, only for them to be destroyed with ease as the tainted energy they emitted channeled through their weapons.
Kiba nearly collapsed as he felt his magic drain more.
"Oh, poor dear, just stay right there." The Queen stated as she attacked him Long range.
Irina and Akeno ran forward and blocked the fire.
'What should we do?' Rias thought as calmly as possible. 'They are empowered like we were with Naruto's chakra when we fought Loki, so what can we do?'
Gremory Group 2…
"SHADOW CLONES JUTSU!" Koneko shouted as she summoned seven clones to even out the odds, making it an even ten on ten after she punched the Rook back with her Haki enhanced fist.
"Alright, Gasper, freeze them when you get the chance!" Issei shouted as he promoted to Queen and activated Ascalon, impaling one of the Rooks, only for it to bounce off and he got punched across the face.
"O-okay!" Gasper replied weakly as he waited for his chance.
Koneko and her clones closed their eyes and focused on Observation.
She ducked under the Rook's punch and pushed it aside.
"Tempest Kick." Koneko murmured as she kicked the Rook, the sickle of wind tearing into the Rook's defense as it pushed her back.
The Rook hit the ground, rolled, before jumping back onto her feet, clothes shredded and revealing her breasts and stomach, covered in the strange markings before she lunged forward, intent on attacking Gasper.
C. Koneko appeared with Shave, grabbed Gasper, and kicked off the ground with Moonwalk.
"Tempest Kick!" She stated as she kicked the air, hitting the Rook again with the technique.
The other clones fought, using Observation Haki and Paper Art to evade with ease and preventing their destruction as long as possible.
"Finger Pistol!" a clone shouted, breaking a Pawn's enhanced defense through their stomach before they were pushed off and punched down.
Issei got back up and tanked hits from the Rooks, denting his armor.
"Partner, they are causing damage to the armor." Ddraig informed Issei.
"What, how?" He asked as he grabbed them and tossed them aside.
"That strange power and marking… it's enhancing them and I think its chakra." Ddraig informed with concern. "Makes sense why it's affecting us, remember, Dragons and chakra don't mix."
Issei didn't have time to think about it as he punched the other Rook.
"Koneko, leave the Rooks to me, you deal with the Pawns!" Issei shouted as the Rooks circled around him.
"Sure thing." Koneko replied as she and her clones continued to evade. 'If only I knew the Rasengan, this would have been easier. Note to self: Get Naruto to teach me the Rasengan later.'
'Iron Body!' a clone thought, tanking a strike from their opponent, almost popping. "FINGER PISTOL!"
The clones finger pierced the Pawns throat, making her feel pain as the marking had numbed it, but not stopping the bleeding as the clone popped and the Pawn collapsed, clutching her throat as she bled out.
Gasper felt fear as he watched Koneko murder the Pawn.
'This needs to end, now.' Koneko thought as she felt the fight in the other building getting worse with Observation haki. 'Shit.'
Issei, meanwhile, was only able to block his opponents strikes.
"GASPER NOW!" he shouted as he pushed the rooks back, into the large group of Pawns and Koneko clones, who swiftly dispelled while Koneko used Moonwalk.
Not saying a word, Gasper froze the Rooks and remaining Pawns.
Without missing a second, Koneko summoned more clones and they struck each of them in the head, straight into the ground with haki coated fists.
The strange markings slowly vanishing as they lost consciousness.
"That should keep them sleeping for a while." Koneko stated as she staggered after popping her clones.
She looked towards the dying Pawn, struggling to live as the markings kept her awake.
'Master…' she thought desperately as she saw an image Diodora in her mind. 'Please… I don't want to die…'
Koneko could feel her fear with her haki, and pity washed over her.
"Koneko?" Issei asked as he deactivated his balance breaker. "What are you doing?"
Koneko ignored him as she knelt next to the Pawn, who wanted to scream but with her throat torn, she couldn't make a sound except the gargles her throat hole made.
Koneko raised her hand and touched the Pawns head.
As the Pawns eyes showed hope for life, Koneko snapped her neck, the sickening sound followed by silence.
Gasper and Issei had no words as Koneko stood up, her short kimono skirt coated in blood.
"Let's go." She whispered, her hair covering her face.
Gasper walked over and took her hand, giving his silent support to her as he squeezed her hand.
Issei didn't know what to do, anything he could do would probably be received with hostility, so he walked beside her and was there if she needed it while the trio walked up the steps.
Meanwhile, Sitri Peerage…
Saji stared at Serendine Zepar, now looking like an imp of sorts.
'How can I beat her?' He thought in fear as he stood between Serendine and Sona, who was flying away with an unconscious Tsubaki.
"Cute." Serendine said in a childish voice, thanks to her imp form. "But no matter how far, my Sound will reach them."
Taking a deep breath, Serendine's cheeks bulged, magic forming in her mouth before she let out a high-pitched scream.
Saji felt the sound ripple through his body, and his hearing nearly went out as his equilibrium was disrupted, making him collapse.
Sona was struck with the same attack as it rippled through the air, making her crash to the ground.
'No…' She thought as her glasses cracked. 'We… we can't win.'
Serendine ended her strike, needing to take a breath.
'Seems he is still alive.' Serendine thought as Saji shakily pushed himself off the ground, blood covering his face from her attack rupturing some of his blood vessels. "I am very impressed you are still alive, but how much more can you take?"
"Enough to finish you!" Saji stated as he pushed off and sloppily ran towards Serendine.
He threw his hand forward, a tentacle of Vritra's Delete Field Sacred Gear on his left arm extended and wrapped around Serendine's neck.
"NOW YOU CAN'T USE YOUR MAGIC!" Saji shouted as he punched Serendine, his fist enveloped with cursed black and violet flames, setting her cheek and horn on fire. "DIE BY MY FLAMES YOU SOUND BITCH!"
Serendine grew a tick mark as she gritted her teeth angrily as the sensation of pain seared itself through her pain receptors to her mind.
"You… sniveling… dragon BRAT!" She shouted, unable to use her Sound Magic, but was able to grab Saji and tore open his chest with her hands.
Excruciating pain ripped through his body, but Saji did his best to ignore the pain as he increased the intensity of his flames on Serendine, never letting his Delete Field turn off as he bled out.
'I have two goals!' He thought as he persevered. 'My first goal is to help Sona with her dream of a Rating Game school for all devils, no matter their class in our system!'
He tightened his Absorption Line around Serendine's neck, hoping to strangle her as she took off flying towards the castle.
She rammed into it, desiring to kill him, but he didn't die, spreading the flames to her wings, burning her back as she flapped them.
'And my second, and more selfish goal… is to be with Sona as her boyfriend.' He thought as he grabbed Serendine's arm. "YOU WON'T KEEP ME FROM MY GOALS, SO JUST DIE!"
Serendine, having gone past her limit, gored Saji with her horn through his shoulder, shattering it, but not killing him.
"I'M NOT DEAD YET!" Saji shouted as he kneed Serendine in the stomach and kept his hold. "NOT UNTIL YOU DIE FIRST!"
Serendine screamed in agony as her right eye was engulfed in flame, becoming a bubbling oil at the intensity as her muscle and bone were charred.
"WHY WON'T YOU DIE!" Serendine screamed as she grabbed Saji, her right-hand catching fire instantly and the flames spread to Saji.
'I can't let her go!' Saji thought as he looked at Delete Field, which prevented him from letting Serendine go and prevented him from extinguishing the flames. 'If I do, I'll lose, and Sona could die!'
In a blind, pain filled rage, Serendine attempted to use her currently sealed magic, causing nothing but disappointment while her body nearly fully engulfed in Saji's fire.
'I can't let go…' Saji thought as he felt his body weaken from his blood loss. 'No… can't… let… go…'
Saji lost consciousness, his sacred gears vanishing, Delete Field no longer sealing Serendine's magic, but leaving his flames on her as he fell from her horn in a puddle of blood and dirt.
'I need to get these off of me!' Serendine thought as she could feel herself nearing death as the oil and fat in her body started to burn, making the flames burn hotter. 'Where is a water mage? Or is there a lake?'
In her desperation, Serendine looked around as her body started to shut down.
Suddenly, a giant snake of water shot out of the woods and swallowed her, the violet flames not diminishing as Serendine desperately had hoped, but the water did its other job, acting as a prison for the blaze covered Zepar.
Sona, having cast the magic after recovering enough of her senses to fight, squeezed her hand and the snake collapsed and condensed into a sphere.
'Thank you, Saji.' Sona thought as she had witnessed her Pawn's bravery. 'I'll make sure our date is an amazing one.'
Serendine screamed, her Sound magic echoing through the water with much more potency due to sound being able to travel through water better than air.
'She thinks this will stop me?' She thought as she tried to move, but found it difficult.
Sona, meanwhile, chuckled as she rested against the ground.
'That water is at 3.98 degrees Celsius.' Sona thought with a smug smirk. 'It is the densest water in the world, like in nature. I can't freeze or create ice, but it's the closest thing I could do.'
Serendine coughed up oxygen, dropping her transformation and returning to normal as she started to lose consciousness from lack of oxygen and while Saji's flames continued to burn her, even under intensely dense water.
'We won, everyone.' Sona thought as she maintained the water dome. 'We did it.'
Meanwhile, Zagan Peerage…
Pyrrha Leraje felt Serendine's life be snuffed out as she frowned.
'Stupid Serendine.' She thought as she kept Edward, Pamela, and the wounded Groot in her Gravity Zone: Zero. 'I knew your insistence of not being injured would get you killed, but even for the weakest of us, you died like a bitch.'
Turning her attention back to the Zagan peerage, Pyrrha tapped her shoulder with her hammer scythe.
"I took care of the weird creature." She muttered as she glanced at Groot, who was 'gutted' open and unable to move, whimpering as he was in pain while Pamela gave him comfort.
"Poor baby." Pamela said as her eyes watered, channeling her magic through Groot, accelerating his healing, which Pyrrha saw as the bark and wood started to be restored. "Don't worry, mommy will heal you."
Leraje allowed herself to be affected by her magic, causing her to float in the zero gravity.
"Let me kill you so we can end this." Pyrrha stated as she brandished her weapon. "I am not in the mood for a prolonged fight…"
She stopped when a rock bounced off her shoulder.
"You threw a rock?" Pyrrha asked as she looked at Edward, who was glaring at her. "Okay, then I'll kill you first."
Edward crossed his arms, hands under his elbows, hands open as steam emitted from his sleeves, soon enveloping a twelve-meter radius, covering himself, Pamela, Groot, and Pyrrha.
Pyrrha was unimpressed as she floated through the smoke screen.
"You are not going to escape my Magic, boy." She stated in irritation as she swung at a shadow, hitting nothing. "So, this smokescreen won't help for very long."
Pyrrha stayed still, waiting for a possible sneak attack.
"You said it wouldn't help." Edward stated from behind Pyrrha.
Instantly her scythe impaled him, Edward doubled over.
"Hm, to easy." Pyrrha stated as she yanked her scythe from Edwards gut, but felt the hair on the back of her neck stand on end as Edward floated back into an upright position, a present smile on his face as he did.
"Was that meant to hurt me?" he asked confidently as blood gushed from his torso and mouth.
"So, you have a healing factor, are stubborn, or have a high pain tolerance…" Pyrrha stated as she swung her scythe in both hands, getting serious. "But it is over!"
With a swing, the hammer portion of her weapon smashed Edward's head, which still floated due to her magic.
"I think you missed." Edward mentioned on her left, his body still having the stab wound in his torso, but half of his head caved in.
The smoke didn't hide these details, however, great uncertainty started to climb its way into Pyrrha's mind, planting doubt.
'What is going on?' She thought as she pointed at Edward, altering the gravity around him, slamming him to the ground where she appeared above him, bisecting him vertically. 'He should be dead…'
"Where are you swinging?" Edward asked, his body uneven since the left side of his bisected body was lower than the right.
Pyrrha's eyes widened.
"WHY WON'T YOU DIE!" She shouted as she smashed him with her hammer again.
Pamela and Groot stepped out of the smoke with Edward carrying his Pawn as they listened to Pyrrha's screamed of battle and settling fear.
"You chose a brutal death for her sir." Pamela mentioned as she turned her head while the smoke settled.
Pyrrha was no longer standing, her body now malnourished as a wicked looking tree was connecting itself to her, wood tubes digging into her blue flesh as her weapon sat on the ground.
"Die… JUST DIE YOU PLANT BASTARD!" Pyrrha shouted as more of her body was converted to wood. "Why… so… weak… I feel so… weak…"
At that last sentence, the human faced tree submerged Pyrrha completely.
"The Tree of Depravity… no, I don't think it was overkill at all, my dear Queen." Edward started with a lack of breath, due to the high magic cost he paid to use the Tree. "But for now, let's get Groot healed as much as possible before going to help the others."
"I… Am Groot." Groot muttered thankfully as he hugged both the King and Queen.
"No problem, son." Edward replied as he and Pamela set Groot down and placed their hand son his torso to heal him, a single plant that Edward used pulled Pyrrha's weapon next to him, getting a strange look from Pamela. "What? It's a good weapon, and I am going to take it."
Pamela shrugged and focused on healing Groot, the trio listening to the muffled sounds of Pyrrha's last words before the Tree of Depravity, which was subjecting her to hellish illusions and her worse nightmares, sucked the remaining life force from her, killing her as she was now fertilizer for the Tree.
Meanwhile, Sabo…
Sabo and Kimimaro charged, Sabo's flame covered pipe striking Kimimaro's enhanced bone blade.
"Hey, you remind me of a manga character, Kars from Jojo." Sabo said with glee. "What was his power again… Oh, yeah, 'Light Mode: Bone Blade'."
Kimimaro had no idea what Sabo was talking about, but pulled his weapon back, spinning as he jumped up, kicking Sabo's weapon aside and punching him with his fist, his bones hardened and channeling senjutsu.
Sabo felt Kimimaro's fist hit him, nearly knocking his lights out, but used that momentum to spin, land on his hands, and throw fireballs with his feet as he spun.
"ha, Fire Kick: Flame Wheel!" Sabo stated cheerfully as he kicked four more fireballs.
Kimimaro, who was irritated with Sabo's childish antics, cut the fire with his blade.
"If you insist on messing around, then I suggest you let me kill you before I get angry." Kimimaro warned. "My master is waiting for me, and I can't…"
"I don't think he will mind." Sabo replied with a playful smile as he landed on his feet. "But if you want me to get serious…"
Sabo took the stance of the Sun Warriors, his 'talon's' ready to be used in battle.
"Then I'll honor you, Bone user."
"The name is Kimimaro, and if you are truly honoring me," Kimimaro said as he discarded his blade and reached behind him, the flesh behind his spine tearing open violently as he pulled out what looked like a spine blade. "Then I too, shall take this seriously. Dance of the Clematis: Vine."
Sabo smiled as he lunged forward at Kimimaro, 'talon' posed to strike.
Meanwhile…
Aria gasped as she survived Kuroka's axe kick to the face.
"That fucking hurt!" Aria whispered as she grabbed Kuroka's foot. "THAT HURT!"
Instinctively, Kuroka tried to pull her foot free, but Aria's grasp on her wasn't weakening.
"You… you…" Aria shouted like a wounded animal, foaming mouth included. "YOU'RE…
Her chest burst open, Kakashi's haki coated Chidori extended from her torso as the lightning fried her organs, her death instant.
"Kamui Chidori." Kakashi stated, getting everyone's attention.
His arm was within one of his own warp portals, now being removed before he deactivated his Mangekyo Sharingan.
'Shit, going overboard again.' Kakashi thought before turning to the others. "Everyone okay?"
"Yeah." Ravel said as she activated her Flame Body: Healing Birds, her body becoming several tiny blue flame birds, flying over her peerage and healing them. "They will be in a few minutes. I am sorry I can't restore chakra or magic, but I can ease pain and fix the body."
Kakashi nodded, everyone feeling their fear fade away as they let their king heal their wounds.
"She was tough, but what gave you the idea to do… that?" Xenovia asked as she looked at Kakashi.
"It was a gamble." Kakashi replied, making everyone face drop.
"A gamble? You weren't sure it would work?" Rossweisse asked in shock.
"She said I got close to piercing her, and even though it was on the inside, her organs and flesh would have been strengthened by her magic too." Kakashi explained with a sigh. "I just got lucky."
"KAKASHI!"
Said Mink blinked as Obito appeared, all eyes on his body open.
"Obito?" Kakashi asked in confusion. "What are you doing here? Why aren't you with Yasaka?"
"She sent me to get you." Obito explained, ignoring the peerage, as he grabbed and helped Kakashi up as he pointed at the barrier Orochimaru set up. "Come on, you and I need to break that barrier."
Kakashi knew exactly what Obito meant when he said that.
"Of course, Obito." Kakashi said as he and Obito prepared to leave. "Ravel, I'll be back, don't do anything reckless."
Before his King could say anything, Kakashi and Obito warped away.
At this moment…
Doflamingo smirked as he forced Sairaorg to turn around, in his Balance Breaker.
"Now, puppet, dance." He chuckled as he moved his fingers, making Sairaorg move towards Beruka and Ladora.
Beruka and Ladora braced themselves as their King came down on them.
"DON'T HOLD BACK, GO ALL OUT!" Sairaorg shouted as he punched Beruka, sending him across the room and through the wall, and Ladora, sending the older man out the wall and into the courtyard, landing in the fountain.
Misteeta and Coriana stepped back and Liban stepped up.
"Let's see if you can still puppet our King after this?" He shouted as he activated his Sacred gear, Gravity Jail.
Doflamingo felt an immense amount of gravitational force weigh him down, making it a bit more difficult to move.
"HA-HA, like a little change like this could stop me?" Doflamingo shouted as he moved his arms, which now started to droop due to the gravity.
Sairaorg ran forward, jumped up and smashed the ground under Laban, making him end his Sacred gear, and fall, nearly crushed under the rubble.
"Come on, we have to fight." Misteeta stated to Coriana and Kuisha. "I can use my Sacred Gear to seal his power on Sairaorg, but it will take some time."
"But how…" Coriana started to say before Kuisha stepped up.
"Send your ice attacks through my Hole magic." Kuisha ordered as she created a hole behind Doflamingo and one in front of Coriana while Doflamingo had Sairaorg attack Gandoma, who was barely able to protect himself with one arm.
Without question, Coriana charged up her strongest attack and Misteeta started to prepare to activate her Sacred gear, Trick Vanish.
"You can do it, Gandoma!" Sairaorg stated as he tried to keep himself from moving as much as possible, fighting against Doflamingo's control.
"Oh, this takes me back." Doflamingo admitted fondly. "It reminds me of when I trained Sasori in puppetry."
"You were Sasori's master?" Sairaorg asked, remembering the report Yasaka gave him on the Sasori incident a few months prior, including the warning of his 'master Doffy'.
Doflamingo chuckled, before his smile faltered to a frown.
"Sasori was my student." He admitted. "Kept him alive with my strings holding his human body together. I was sad to learn he died at the hands of that stupid wereleopard, Lucci, when Sasori was trying to get the brat."
"SHUT UP!" Sairaorg shouted. "YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NARUTO!"
Doflamingo nearly busted his organs as he laughed.
"Oh, I know more than you will…" He started to say before Ice magic appeared behind him.
He turned and slashed the Ice with his Five Colored String.
"NOW!" Misteeta shouted as she pointed her wand at Doflamingo, dull Prussian blue flames surrounding him as sealing matrix crept up his legs, torso, arms, and face.
"What?" Doflamingo questioned as the strings allowing him to puppet Sairaorg were cut and the King laughed.
"Thanks, Misteeta, and now for payback." He stated while turning to Doflamingo, who had a vein bulge in his forehead.
Sairaorg's armor clad arm was coated in… Haki.
"How can… I see, that gear is the Nemean Lion." Doflamingo muttered in critical thinking. "Impressive, but I guess it is a heavy weight to bear, a power not your own flowing through your veins."
Sairaorg smirked.
"What ever it takes, I'll protect my family." The Bael Heir stated as he pulled his arm back. "EVEN IF I HAVE TO DESTROY MY BODY!"
Kuisha created a two Holes, one in front of Sairaorg and the second next to Doflamingo's head.
With a mighty battle cry, Sairaorg punched Doflamingo through Hole, slamming his strongest attack across the Fallen Angel hybrid's head.
'Heh, he is strong.' Doflamingo thought as he was taken off his feet and his head rocketing towards the floor. 'Good, I didn't have to fake their deaths.'
His face cracked the entire building structure, forcing the awake Peerage members to flee the building, sadly leaving the unconscious as the building collapsed.
"Don't worry, Sairaorg, I can still sense them. Our friends are still alive." Regulus said, easing some of Sairaorg's worry.
"Good, but now let's get them to safety before we go help the others." Sairaorg told Coriana, Misteeta, and Kuisha.
"No, I am going to find Naruto." Kuisha stated, flying off. "Meet up when they are found and safe."
Sairaorg opened his mouth to call out to her, order her to stop, but closed his mouth after a second thought.
'No matter what I would have said, she would have disobeyed them to find Naruto.' Sairaorg thought as he, Coriana and Misteeta landed on the ground, Coriana and Misteeta finding Beruka and Ladora, while he found Gandoma and Liban.
Meanwhile, Naruto…
Naruto was able to successfully all of Gaara's attacks with Paper Art and Observation haki, upsetting the tanuki as he failed to capture Naruto.
"Naruto!" Kuisha shouted as she saw him and Gaara.
Both the werefox and the tanuki saw her.
"Hm…" Gaara thought before he settled on his next plan.
"NO!" Naruto shouted as he saw what Gaara was planning, turning to face Kuisha. "KUISHA RUN!"
Kuisha didn't understand until a massive hand made of sand appeared and slammed her into the ground, knocking her out as it surrounded her.
"Now, come with me, young Master." Gaara stated in a threatening tone. "Or this woman dies, my sand crushing her to death. Slowly tightening every minute unless you surrender."
Naruto felt his blood freeze at those words.
Kushina and Jiraiya flashed in his mind as he remembered their corpses after their deaths.
Misla appeared next, sleeping in her bed, thanks to him sending her into a coma thanks to him accidently striking her with his Conqueror's haki.
'No…' He thought as he growled. 'I won't allow anyone I love to die because of me.'
Gaara felt an ominous aura flood Naruto's system as Norse Runes appeared on his fur.
'Is that a Norse curse seal?' Gaara thought as he prepared for the worse, only to have Naruto appear before him, hand pulled back with a tiny Rasengan at his claw tip.
"FINGER PISTOL: SPIRAL BULLET!" Naruto growled loudly as he thrust his finger forward to grind Gaara's skull to dust, only for his sand to appear between them.
'Grandpa…' Gaara thought as he saw his sand get torn through as the Spiral Bullet burrowed into his shoulder, thanks to the sand diverting it.
Chapter 52, DONE!
Well, that was a lot of damage!
The hardest part, I shit you not, was the beginning segments with Rias's peerage due to the Canon its mostly a curb stomp, and Diodora's peerage doesn't have much info on them, so writing for them is difficult this time because they have curse marks, making them stronger.
Beside that, the rest of the chapter was a bit easier.
Some spots I had to take long breaks from before I finish, taking two fucking weeks since I last posted for Werefox, but it is definitely good I take my time.
Nothing much to say today, but please review if you liked/disliked and let me know what was your favorite part.
