Review Response:

Guest: Thank you, I will do my best. This chapter is kind of meh, but I feel that it ends a trilogy of sort.

Al's Grey Ghost: It will be funny, I hope.

Redlox2: It is currently 1758 in this story, after next chapter I feel like it will start the great time skips. Yes, the Evil Piece system gave Blamuro an edge, but since Zest showed up, it was evened out.

SolSparda369: Oh, I feel like you'll like what I did with Blamuro.

Damedream: That could happen as an Omake.

Rosarocunan16: Yeah, I was rushed last chapter. That and I want to get closer to canon too, feel like I waded in this arc to long. I admit, it was my fault. Thank you for that, I do hope I can continue writing more original stuff, even when canon happens.

Atengawchok: Thank you.

Uday Sra: Thank you.

Neko Twins Kagamine: Thank you for the support, happy to know you like the fights.

Jeremiahkelley93: Thank you.

Thor94: LOL, that would be funny.

Children:

Yasaka

Partners:

Tamamo (Wife, Deceased), Lucoa (Girlfriend), Hilda (Girlfriend), Zest (Apprentice/Girlfriend)

OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HIGHSCHOOL DXD!

Chapter 61: Swish and Sway

Dragon Mountain…

"… and that concludes our bi-decade meeting." Tiamat said as she stood up, Yu-long, Lucoa, and the Mini-Jormungandr sighed, rubbing their shoulders.

Sitting in stone chairs for over a month messes your spine and shoulders up after all.

"It was… pleasant to see you all again, but I must be getting home." Lucoa said as she got out of her chair.

Yu-long snickered, catching Lucoa's eye.

"What home?" he asked sarcastically as he gave Lucoa his full attention. "You and the Sage killed your pantheon."

Lucoa's eyes opened in the narrowest cracks, where one could not see her eyes, but if you knew her, you could tell they were open.

Malicious intent hidden within, barely restrained.

Lucoa ignored her fellow Dragon King as she took flight.

Hours Later, Kyoto, T&I Department…

Blamuro sat on his knees, hands cuffed behind him as his head violently jerked to the right.

Nearby was a recording crystal, glowing a faint blue to show it was recording the words and sounds made in the room

His eyes were closed as he 'chewed' before spitting out a blood and saliva-soaked tooth, opening his eyes to defiantly glare at his interrogator.

"Who sent you here to kill Lady Yasaka!" his interrogator, a rat yokai, asked again for the umpteenth time that day.

Blamuro simply smiled defiantly, his cheek swelling from the recent punch.

"Haven't you heard of romance?" Blamuro cheekily asked his interrogator. "I don't give up the goods for free, sweat-heart."

The interrogator growled, his fist coming up to hit Blamuro again, only to stop when the door opened, revealing Lucoa.

"I have been briefed on the situation, so I will take over." She told the interrogator.

"Yes, Lady Lucoa." He said with a bow, leaving the room.

"So, what are you going to do?" Blamuro asked, his swollen faced flushed pink as he stared at Lucoa's body, eye-fucking her. "Blow me to get me to talk?"

Lucoa wasn't wearing anything revealing.

The most conservative kimono (gray with a navy-blue obi) was worn, and she pulled out a fan, opening it with graceful ease.

"Ara, ara…" Lucoa chuckled, a faint smile on her lips. "Such a foul mouth you have, asking a taken woman for an oral favor like that."

Blamuro chuckled.

"Well, when you have been staring at a blasted rat for twenty-four hours," Blamuro stated, leering at the door. "One can be very appreciative to see a beauty."

"Thank you, but," Lucoa said as she closed her fan and held it out, pressing it against Blamuro's chin, tilting his head up. "We aren't here for idle chit chat."

"Sorry, love." Blamuro said as he pushed her fan off. "But I am not going to say anything."

"Really?" Lucoa asked, her lip in a pout.

"Yeah, because I am not a snitch, my master has upmost faith in me." Blamuro boasted proudly. "I am sure he is making plans to free me as we speak."

'Are you sure about that, Blamuro?' an irritated and disappointed tone asked in his mind, sending chills down Blamuro's spine.

Blamuro gasped, his pupils dilating, nearly vanishing.

"M-master…" He gasped, which had Lucoa on edge.

"Who are you talking to?"

"Master, I swear, I haven't said anything. I won't say anything that can…"

'I know, but I won't risk my plans being revealed.' Euclid told Blamuro. 'So, it seems our alliance is at an end. It's a shame, the data your Boosted Gear provided was and is a positive, but you are not.'

"MASTER, PLEASE…!" Blamuro shouted before he spasmed violently.

His spine arched backwards, disgusting snapping and popping sounds tearing from his back, his pain filled screams echoing.

"LUCOA!" Ddraig shouted from Blamuro's hand, catching her attention.

"Ddraig?"

"Beware!" He shouted as a gray foam started to emit from Blamuro's mouth. "HIS MASTER HAS THE SAGE'S…"

Blamuro's heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, and other organs ruptured, spreading the gray from within his body.

Ddraig faded from Blamuro's body, returning to the reincarnation cycle of the Sacred Gears.

Blamuro's body started to rapidly decay, his skin drying out as it started to recede and shrivel as it shrank onto his bones.

His organs started to writhe and bubble, as if it was about to explode to spread the foam.

"LADY YASAKA!" the interrogator shouted as he entered the room. "What is…"

Lucoa reacted, pushing the man out of the room, and with a swift movement of her hand, she used magic to burn Blamuro's corpse in her rainbow flames before that could happen.

"Damn." Lucoa growled in irritation.

"Fuck, I am sorry." The interrogator apologized. "We didn't think the devil would have been rigged with a trap. Please, forgive us."

"No, there is no need to apologize." Lucoa said as she turned to him. "I am just happy we are alive, but if only he and Ddraig could have been able to say who the man behind this was."

Lucoa returned her gaze to the charred spot where Blamuro once occupied.

'Ddraig said they had something of 'the Sage'. Did he mean Naruto?' Lucoa thought deeply as she soon left the Torture and Interrogation department.

Underworld…

Euclid sighed in irritation.

'I spent five years training that man, and yet he was still a disappointment.' Euclid thought as he looked at his experiment.

An artificial Boosted Gear, made with shavings from the real Boosted Gear.

It rested in a tank, still taking form as it sat in the preservative fluid.

'Now I can't get anymore data, but at least I am close to figuring out how to use the Sage's beast chakra to power this.' Euclid thought as he looked at another set of tanks, nine in total with the tailed beast chakra he got from his associates after Zolgia died. 'Thanks to that, I don't need to use dragon souls. That would have been a fucking bitch and a fuck to get enough of those.'

Euclid heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." he said as he snapped his fingers, magic covering the tanks in a thick illusion before the door opened to reveal Grayfia Lucifuge, Euclid's older sister.

"Brother." Grayfia said as she bowed to her baby brother.

"Sister." Euclid said with a bright smile, hugging the Wife/Queen of Lucifer.

"How is your research into cellular division and multiplication going? If your experiments are successful, we could regrow limbs, bones, tissue, and a whole manner of important body parts." Grayfia said as she knew Euclid's research was very important to the underworld.

"It is going well, but I have hit a small snag." Euclid said as he searched for something for Grayfia to sit on. "Excuse the mess, the life of a scientist doesn't give time for cleaning."

"No, it is quite…" Grayfia looked around. "Alright, it's a mess."

Dishes, garbage, and unknown parts of whatever were all over the place.

"It needs to be cleaned, but I'll get to it later." Euclid chuckled as he found a stool, handing it over to his sister.

Meanwhile…

"OOOWOWOOOOOWWW!" Lance cried out as he was being wiped down in disinfectant medicine.

"DEAL with IIIIT!" Zest squealed as her own injuries were being disinfected.

"Oh, you big babies." Dr. Rekha said in irritation. "It doesn't hurt that much."

"It feels like someone is pissing in my wounds… with salt!" Lance complained.

"Oh, come on." The male nurse who was working on Lance said with a cute chuckle. "Don't be so negative."

This man, who was named Iolaos, gave Lance a gentle tap on his butt, making Lance blush in silence, making small whimpering sounds.

'Thank god that Zeus left Iolaos behind as my assistant.' Rekha thought as she finished tending to Zest's major burns.

Thankfully, no major areas were destroyed, but the post for the guard was going to be rebuilt, and with their manpower being thinned to make up for this, Zeus left several of his soldiers and some healers behind.

"Alright, turn." Rekha told Zest as she pulled out a thread and needle.

Zest visibly blanched.

She was TERRIFIED/HATED enclosed spaces, and was nervous around needles.

Zest closed her eyes, biting her lip, frantically asking if Rekha was done as she started to stitch a nasty cut shut.

Compound…

"Phew," Akasha gasped as she sat at her desk, stretching, finished with todays…

"Here." Harribel said as she dropped another large stack of paper on to Akasha's desk.

"WHAT?" Akasha screamed with tears in her eyes. "There's more…"

Harribel nodded her head.

"Of course, this paperwork is for the new guard post where Lance and Zest fought that red guy." Harribel informed, her arms stiff from the bandages.

"Shouldn't you be resting?" Akasha asked as she started to work on her new pile of paperwork.

"Yeah, but I am head of the guard, so no…" Harribel tensed, biting her lip as her eyes watered in pain.

"Yeah, you should go lie down." Akasha said as she watched Harribel tense.

"No… I don't…"

"Yes," Yasaka said as she appeared behind Harribel. "You do."

With a swift chop, Harribel went down, being caught by Yasaka's shadow clone.

"I'll take her to her room." The Clone said as they left.

Yasaka sat opposite of Akasha, grabbing half of the paper work and started helping her.

"You worried about Naruto?" Akasha asked, not looking up from the paperwork. "Come on, I've known you your entire life, Yasaka."

"Yeah, I am worried about papa." Yasaka admitted in sincere worry. "It has been over a month, and yet…"

The door opened again, this time Hilda with a tray of tea.

"Naruto has vanished before," Hilda said as she set the tea for herself, her daughter, and Yasaka. "Didn't stop him from coming back."

"How about you, mom?" Akasha asked in more concern.

Hilda smiled sadly.

"I believe Naruto will return." She said with shaky confidence.

Meanwhile…

Ophis sat alone before a small koi fish pond in the middle of a deep forest in the Ainu region of Japan.

She once again changed forms, taking a more mature version of her Loli, but kept her hair short, as she lifted up an oversized sake gourd with one hand, lifting it to her lips.

Several giant gulps were heard before she put it down, wiping her mouth as she did.

The pond was deep, and very cold.

Within many koi swam, but there were two that stood out.

Two large koi in particular, one dark with white eyes and a white spot on its head, and a white one with a black spot on its head with gray eyes, swimming in a circle.

"You two have it simple, don't you, Tui, La." Ophis asked, her voice more mature.

'It's true, we push and pull.' Tui, the White Moon Spirit, replied, while never stopping.

'But our lives are never simple, Ophis." La, the Black Ocean Spirit replied as he kept swimming with Tui. (1)

Ophis dismissed this.

'Why have you come here, Ophis?" Tui asked the ancient Loli Dragon.

"My son is fighting a battle… of my own creation…" Ophis told the ancient Moon and Ocean spirits. "Because I wasn't strong enough to defeat my enemy, Ashura is fighting my battle… I have sent… sent him to his death."

"What makes you think that he is going to die?" La asked as they two koi spun around in the pond.

"Be…because I…" Ophis started to tear up, covering her right eye with her hand to futilely dry her tears, snot running down her nose. "I couldn't stop the fucking red bastard from breaking my family apart!"

Tui and La continued to swim in their circle, but their spirits departed their bodies, putting their hands on Ophis's shoulders.

Tui was tall, had tan skin, white hair, gray eyes, an elegant dress made of white and light gray fabric. Her black mark on her forehead was covered by an Ainu headdress.

La had darker skin, gray eyes, with blue Ainu clothing decorated in white tribal markings. His head was shaved, revealing the white mark on his forehead.

"You are not a horrible person," they said in unison, smiling to give their support to Ophis. "Ashura… Naruto, he chose to fight, and even now, he fights."

Ophis curled into the fetal position, collapsing to her side.

Shaken, she grabbed the sake gourd and continued to drink.

Tui and La's smiles faded as their spiritual forms returned to their bodies, swimming in their eternal dance of Push and Pull.

Three days later…

"Really, you asked Iolaos out to dinner?" Hilda asked in surprise when Lance told the table about his plans.

Lance, with red cheeks, averted his gaze with a nervous smile on his lips.

"Y-yeah…" He mumbled.

"Oh, that is cute." Lucoa said as she pinched Lance's cheek. "I hope you two hit it off. Plus, he is Greek, so he might be the one."

"Master, please don't…" Lance whined as Lucoa chuckled.

"Hey, you should be proud you found someone." Yasaka said as she leaned into Lance, putting her arm around him. "At least you found it on your first try, I dated a man once, total dickhead who wanted to marry me for status. Kicked his ass really quick."

"Oh, really?" Hilda asked with a narrow eye. "How come I don't remember that happening?"

"Hm, I don't recall that ever happening either." Lucoa chimed in.

"You made it up?" Lance asked Yasaka, who in turn avoided her gaze.

"Yeah, of course. I am Bi, so of course I dated a guy." Yasaka stated in a shaky voice.

"I'm home…"

The group turned to Zest, who was soaked in sweat, her bandages all loose and bloodied.

"I want some ramen…" Zest said before she collapsed, gasping for air as she excreted more sweat than she normally should be.

Hour Later…

"Seems that Zest overexerted herself." Rekha told the family as she walked out of Zest's room. "I told her to wait until her wounds finished healing, BUT NO~~~~"

"She wants to complete the Rasengan." Lance said as he looked at Zest's door. "She feels like she has found a way to do it, since our fight with the Red Dragon."

Lucoa's expression soured.

"I wish we could have gotten more information out of him." Lucoa stated in irritation. "All we know is that this 'Master' has something of Naruto's."

"But what? Everything he has is here, and we would have been able to find out if someone broke in." Yasaka stated as she was equally confused.

"I don't know, but Ddraig isn't the kind of person to lie… well, except when he promised to return Tiamat's treasure." Lucoa said, nodding as she remembered the reason why Tiamat hated Ddraig.

"What did he do? Lose it?" Lance asked curiously.

"He stole Tiamat's treasure, promised to return it, but it ended up getting destroyed when we fought." Albion chuckled, remembering the fear in Ddraig's eyes that day when the treasures broke. "Oh, god that day was one of the best days of my life."

"Yeah, Tiamat actively hates Ddraig and is known to kill his users if she finds them." Lucoa added.

'Good thing I got you instead, Albion.' Lance thought nervously with a heavy, and I mean HEAVY sweat drop.

Albion was also grateful, since he too had the idea of stealing Tiamat's treasure, but thought about a few days after Ddraig did, so he didn't get the chance to.

"Has anyone seen Ophis?" Yasaka asked as she realized she hadn't seen Ophis since before Blamuro's attack.

Spirit Oasis…

Ophis hazily got up, back to her normal form, just with short hair.

She grabbed her gourd and drank from it, or would have if it wasn't empty.

'I need more alcohol.' She thought as she tried to get the last few drops out of it. 'Tsk…' She tossed the gourd aside, shattering upon impact with a tree from the amount of strength she used in what appeared to be a simple toss.

Ophis inhaled, before burping loudly enough to shake the forest.

'Seems someone is awake.' Tui mumbled from the Oasis.

'Morning, Ophis.' La spoke up from the Oasis.

Ophis ignored them as she wiped her eyes of sleep, and dried tear/sake stains.

"Morning." Was all she said when she finished. "I apologize for my behavior, I thank you, deeply."

"Anytime, old friend." Tui and La said in unison, continuing their dance of Push and Pull.

Ophis opened a portal to Kyoto, but stopped herself from entering.

Her soul seemed to shiver in an intense cold, her stomach doing cartwheels as she changed the location of her portal.

Ophis had one destination in mind.

Dimensional Gap…

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Naruto shouted as he stabbed his heirloom sword into Great Red's body, the whole blade sinking in before he sliced, effectively cutting deep of the dragon's flesh. 'How long have we been fighting?'

Great Red roared in pain before he spun himself around, pushing Naruto away with the winds he created.

"What is wrong, kid?" Great Red gasped tiredly, an enthusiasm in his tone. "You running… out of steam already?"

"Maybe, old man, how about you?" Naruto replied tiredly. "You willing to listen to me now? Because during all this fighting, an idea popped into my head that could make us all happy."

Great Red chuckled.

"Perhaps…" he said in exhaustion. He scratched his wrist, where the Adamantine Chains of Sealing were still in place. 'If only I could get these damned chains off, then I could eclipse his power enough to kill him. Even so, he can syphon my power with that weird ability, BUT he can only take so much, and he is being very cautious to not take too much.'

A plan formulating into his head, Great Red was ready for his final gambit.

'Seems we are about to end this fight, for real.' Naruto thought as he felt himself nearing his end.

His hands were badly damaged, more or less just muscle on exposed bones at this point, with the bleeding stemmed by his partners.

'This guy might be expecting me to be careful, and use my absorption ability, but I don't think I can stomach anymore of his power at all.' Naruto thought carefully as he summoned Kurama's avatar as he resealed his sword. 'All my puppets for the beasts are destroyed, so I have to use this.'

His Rinne-Sharingan pulsated, his Susano enveloping Kurama's avatar.

Armor with an Oni like skull appeared, with an ethereal sword appearing in Kurama's right hand.

Great Red channeled as much of his power into his hands, making his final gamble.

Great Red and Naruto lunged forward, their war cries echoing through the gap as the sword and Great Red's fist went to connect.

"ENOUGH!"

A flash of light and once again, the Dimensional Gap was sliced open, and all dimensions were visible again for all to see, and all could see the Dimensional Gap for a second time.

Chapter 61, DONE!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYONE!

1 I was watching Avatar the Last Airbender, Siege of the North, and thought Ophis having friends in the form of the Spirits would be interesting, showing she has friends outside of family.

Nothing much to say, I am exhausted, so…

If you enjoyed, please leave a review, if uou… I don't know, disliked, review too I guess. It helps me write.
