The hand.

An unknown hand that contained an unknown and extremely powerful energy unlike anything that had been sensed, and the severed hand's potent energy wasn't just unknown, it was divine. There was a divine quality to the hand that had baffled many for generations, and the energy inside of the hand contained memories. The strange energy, the strange hand, and many things like the fact that somebody had stolen the second hand.

The Divine Hand.
The Demon Hand.

The Divine Hand of an Outer God was a hand looking like it could have belonged to a teenage boy, but the divinity in the hand's energy was strong enough that they made sure that the hand never ran out. The fact was that the hand contained the power to accept Spiritual Energy, Physical Energy, all kinds of energy into itself. It didn't even keep the energy as they were, it converted different energies into it's own energy.

"Extracting memories from the energy."

The Divine Hand's energy was so potent, that it contained memories of the owner of the hand, which was an amazing discovery. It was a slow process, but extracting memories from the energy had been a goal for many researchers for many generations.

"Guh..."

"Masaomi, are you okay?" A beautiful young woman asked as a young man standing nearby her with a device connected to his head started to collapse, he took the device off of his skull and tossed it to the side. "Valper, stop!"

The extracting process was stopped.

"We can't keep stopping every time Masaomi can't handle it... how can I make a clone of the Outer God if we don't know anything about it?" Valper gave an annoyed sound when he saw that once more the process of getting memories out of the hand seemed like it would be an impossible task.

Cloning the hand a body.

Hidden deep in a Church in a town he didn't care about in the slightest, he worked with an Exorcist from the Church and the High Class Devil who owned the town. His goal was to understand the divine power ot the hand, and make a clone of it so that he could implant the memories into the clone body. It was why he stole the hand from the Church, and why he wished that he had managed to steal the other hand as well. The hand that was being held by Grigori, but he would have to make do.

So it was just the three of them.

Masaomi Yaegaki.
Cleria Belial.
Finally, him, the person doing all of the research for the cloning process, Valper Galilei.

"I'm sorry... you're keeping our relationship a secret, and I can't even handle the memories..." Masaomi grit his teeth.

Valper was helping him keep his relationship, his love, with a devil girl a secret and he wasn't able to do anything to help his research. Helping him with his research was the least that he could do for the man who was helping him to keep everything important to him safe. He helped to set up Valper's lab in the hidden basement of the church they were in, and the cloning tank, the recharging station.

Many things were down here that neither member of the young couple understood.

"The Divine Hand of the Outer God and the Demonic Hand of the Outer God, Grigori has the Demonic Hand and nobody knows when the Fallen Angels will clone themselves an army... if humans and devils are to survive, we need to clone ourselves the Divine Hand as well... it only makes sense." Valper spoke with a gentle tone.

He lied as easily as he breathed.

He wanted a divine being that would obey him, he wanted to clone this hand so that he could have his own personal god slave. Just the remnants of the energy that were inside of the hand was enough to contain memories, it had unknown qualities to it that would make it practically infinite in it's worth for him. As soon as he had a working clone, he was going to get rid of this young couple. He might as well report their relationship, so he could have others do his dirty work for him, and he could conduct his research in piece.

"We can't let them... we have to do this... please Masaomi." Cleria knew that she wasn't going to be able to provide much. All she could do was provide her demonic power to the machines, so the Hand could convert her power into it's power, and once the time came she would provide her own eggs so that they could manipulate them for the cloning process. "We can't let another war start... we won't survive together."

Valper just grinned when he saw the young man grab his woman and give her a nod of his head, showing that he would try his hardest.

Manipulating young love.

So fucking easy.

He had two foolish, in love, people who were afraid that they would be killed if anyone discovered their relationship, and they were fight. An exorcist and a devil having a relationship was insane, but he would be able to use this to fuel his own research.

-Weeks Later-

"There we go... Naruto Uzumaki... we have his name... the name of the Divine Hand of the Outer God... we finally have a name to a hand." Valper was excited to finally have gotten knowledge that had escaped all of the other researchers. He didn't JUST have a name though, he also had memories of battles.

Great battles.

There was a battle that far exceeded anything that he had ever heard of before, where the owner of the hand had destroyed great meteors that could have destroyed worlds. Where the owner of the hand was clocked in at speeds of so much faster than light it was insane. Using the memories, they were able to discover that the owner of the hand was so insanely powerful. If he could clone the hand a new body, he could pick and decide which memories would be important for the clone to have.

"He's... Japanese... just like me?" Masaomi's eyes lit up for a second despite how exhausted he was.

He was the vessel for the memories to pass through, the memories were downloaded out of the energy into his head, before they were sucked out of his head and into the database. He frowned when he watched some of the memories on the TV screen in front of them.

Battles that shook the cores of planets.

Speed, strength, stamina, nearly unlimited energy reserves, and so many different abilities that it made his head spin. He didn't remember any of the memories that passed through him since they were removed from his head, but watching some of them play out in front of him just showed him how different this person was built from the people in their world.

"The memories seem to end the moment the moment their final attacks seem to collide." Cleria stated as she looked at the cloning tank.

There was a small organic life form in the tank.

The clone.

Using DNA from the Hand, one of her own Eggs was modified to perfectly match the DNA of the hand as closely as possible. The clone wasn't that far along in the cloning process, but she felt a maternal love for it already. It was one of her eggs that was being used for the cloning process, it was almost as if it was her baby inside of the tank. No matter what they were doing, her eyes always went to the cloning tank whenever she was in the room.

"Can a clone with Cleria's egg... can it really produce a clone with these levels of power?"

"No... it seems that this Naruto underwent several types of training to achieve his strength, and there were factors in place that we can't replicate... but the clone will still be very powerful. He won't have access to many of his powers... we can't replicate the fruits of his hard work, and we can't replicate... his Tailed Beasts... and his maximum energy output won't be the same either. I don't even know if we can replicate this... strangeness that is his chakra network... but we'll try." Valper stated with a pleasant smile.

He was pissed the more he thought about it.

It was impossible for him to clone the Outer Gods with the same abilities as their originals, it was just impossible. He didn't have the ability to replicate their raw reserves of power, he couldn't replicate their training results, and he couldn't easily replicate anything. He could only clone the original, hope that they had the same potential, and download the memories in the hopes that the clone would just naturally pick up as much of the original's power as possible.

"Naruto... such a pretty name."

"It's a ramen ingredient... or an orange... or a whirlpool?" Masaomi stated as he rubbed his cheek in thought.

"Well... he's our child Masaomi... he's our Naruto. I can't wait to see him." Cleria placed her hands against the class of the cloning tank, and she just looked at the developing clone with affection in her eyes. Her lover was visibly confused for a moment when he heard her say that, before he smiled and just put a hand on her shoulder.

"Yes."

"Now, remember, he's a warrior god... purely to be used for the day the Fallen Angels unleash their clone of the demon god." Valper looked at them with annoyance when he saw the couple were growing attached to the clone already. He didn't want to give them a reason to try and escape with the clone early, before they were killed. If they escaped with the clone, then he might be discovered and killed for stealing the hand in the first place.

-Months Later-

Deserted.

Masaomi and Cleria were dead, and Valper had been forced to abandon the research he had been doing when they had been killed ahead of schedule.

The lab was completely deserted.

Only a floating clone in a cloning tank, that was the only life to be found in the hidden basement of the church. Just silently floating, all alone, in the tank.

All there was, was a clone all alone.

In the darkness of the deserted lab.
