Endou after failing to save the shot from Aphrodi went down to the lighting training centre to practise Majin the Hand, He kept going at it and was making no progress on the move. Everyone else was watching on the sidelines as Endou tried his hardest to stop the balls that were being shot at him, he was bruised all over and struggled slightly when trying to get up. Kino tried to get Endou to stop but Endou told her to stay back and continued to push himself more and more, he was only stopped when coach Hibiki told him to and ordered everyone to gather around. After gathering around, coach Hibiki explained that they were going to do a training camp.

Natsumi said that they have permission to use the school, everyone was excited about the idea but Endou, who was looking at the floor as he said "Wait a minute coach. Make a meal? This isn't the time to be relaxed… The match against Zeus is in two days. I have to complete Majin the Hand before that."

Coach Hibiki kept his neutral face before asking "Can you do it?"

Endou snapped his head up and looked directly at Coach Hibiki as he continued speaking "With you practising right now, completing that Hissatsu technique is"

Endou quickly replied by saying "I won't know unless I try!"

Coach Hibiki gave a quick reply "It's impossible"

This shocked Endou as he jolted in place and said "Impossible?"

Coach Hibiki explained "Majin the Hand is a phantom technique that Daisuke-san shed buckets of blood for. It's not a mere technique you can complete by just grasping blindly. And right now, your mind's over obsessed about Hissatsu techniques. It's impossible to complete it in that condition."

Kidou voiced his opinion on the matter by saying "True, it might be a good idea to stop thinking about Majin the Hand for a while"

Ichinose then said "I agree. In America, they say not to rush things except from catching cockroaches"

Kino was confused and asked "Cockroaches? Don't you mean, "Nothing should be done in haste but gripping a flea"?"

Ichinose got embarrassed and rubbed the back of his head before saying "I guess you can say it like that too"

Natsumi started clapping her hands to get everyone's attention before saying "Then it's decided that we'll have a training camp"

Coach Hibiki then followed up by saying "Everyone make preparations and meet up at 5"

As everyone was leaving Naruto said "You know the only reason why Natsumi is happy is because she can sleep with Endou tonight"

This got everyone to laugh and make jokes about them with only Natsumi blushing as Endou had zoned out

Everyone had gone home and packed their stuff and made their way to school. At the school everyone broke up into groups and started doing their own things from pillow fighting, talking about school or other activities or setting things up by their beds.

Naruto was off to the side talking to Gouenji and Kidou about an idea he had for an Hissatsu technique called Bakunetsu Storm(The player crosses their arms over their face, the ball is lifted off the ground as a fire like Majin appears from behind the player. The Majin then holds the player into his hands and lifts the player as he jumps. The player then spins and is covered by fire, the player then does an overhead kick. As the ball goes towards goal a ring of fire surrounds the ball ), "So Gouenji what do you think?" Naruto asked.

"It seems good but I don't know if I can complete it before the game" Gouenji replied

"It could give us an advantage during the game but as Gouenji said, we might not have the time for him to learn it" Kidou said

The three of them went into a deep thought thinking of a solution, Endou then came up to them with a weird look on his face and asked "Hey guys what's with those looks?"

Kidou answered "Naruto had an idea for a Hissatsu technique for Gouenji to use but in the time frame we have and how complicated the move is, we don't know if we can do it"

Endou nodded then replied with a smile on his face "Well we don't know if we don't try so let's just do our best"

The other three just nodded at Endou's speech before talking about the game against Zeus while waiting for everyone to arrive.

Once, everyone had arrived, the adults gave a small talk about what the plan was for the night, after the talk everyone went and started to prepare for dinner but Endou was the only one who didn't want to participate as he kept looking directly into his grandfather's notebook and tried to figure out how to complete Majin the Hand.

Line Break

All of a sudden a noise was heard which made everyone turn to see what it was. The noise that was being made was a scared Kabeyama who was running and screaming. When he reached everyone he hid behind Megane and said he saw a ghost. Naruto hearing this had his colour drained from his face and began to shake and tried to hide behind Gouenji which made Natsumi smirk and called out Naruto "Naruto you're scared of ghosts, what are you a child"

Naruto not wanting to be one-upped said "Listen ghosts are scary okay and I'm not like you when you get scared you can cuddle up to your boyfriend. Also if you think ghosts aren't scary then why don't you go and cheek"

Natsumi huffed and turned around with a blush on her face and said "There is no such thing as ghosts, he probably saw a silhouette of an art project and got scared"

Megane then said "She is right ghosts don't exist in this world"

Kageno popped up behind Kabeyama, scaring Megane and said "I'm sure someone was there", which shocked everyone. He continued saying "An adult was there"

Kino pointed out that all the adults were with them so it wasn't one of them. Handa quickly said "Kageyama!"

Endou quickly looked at him and asked "Kagey ama?"

Handa then specified "Maybe it's one of Kageyama's underlings. He could be trying to cause an accident before the finals so we can't enter"

Everyone was shocked and thought that it was possible, Endou quickly got everyone ready and got them all to go and find the mysterious person with only the adults, Natsumi, Kabeyama and Megane who had fainted, had remained behind.

Once getting to the classroom where the person was spotted, Endou quickly opened the door and said that they had nowhere to run only to find an empty classroom. Ichinose then spotted someone making a break for it down the corridor and alerted everyone to the person's presence and gave chase.

Endou ran out of the classroom and grabbed Shishido's pillow and kicked it, the pillow flew in the air before hitting the person in the head. When everyone surrounded the person, Endou flipped him over only to see it was one of the legendary Inazuma Eleven with three others walking up the stairs.

Once everyone got back outside, dinner was served and coach Hibiki was catching up with them. On hearing they brought 'that' with them caught Endou's attention, he asked what 'that' is and had to wait after dinner to learn about 'that'.

After everyone finished their dinner and cleaned everything up, everyone went back to the underground training centre to see a rusty machine with handles on the side and obstacles in the middle. (don't know how to explain it properly)

One of the legendary Inazuma Eleven then explained that the machine was built 40 years ago to help people learn Majin the Hand and explainedthat the use of the navel and tailbone is important for the move to work.

Handa then asked, "So did you complete it?"

Which one responded "No it didn't work out" which made Handa, anime-style fall over with a sweat drop and said "It didn't work out, eh"

Another legend said that they got close to completing it which gave everyone hope, Endou said "Let's try it right away!"

Coach Hibiki explained that it is not a guarantee that he would be able to complete the move which Endou understood. After oiling the machine up to allow it to work, Endou started to get past the obstacles in his way but kept getting hit. Everyone pitched in to help the machine run while Endou continued to give it his best to get past the obstacles.

After some time, Endou managed to get past the obstacles with no problems which made everyone happy and moved on to the next step of learning the move. Coach Hibiki explained the next step would be trying to call forth the move while trying to stop Inazuma Break, performed by coach Hibiki, Kidou and Gouenji. Naruto interjected by saying "Coach, I understand your reasoning behind this but I would like to suggest the people shooting"

Everyone besides Goeunji and Kidou who understood his reason why he said that, looked at him confused. Coach Hibiki looked at him with a look that said explain, so he continued "While I understand that you want to use a powerful Hissatsu technique to force Endou to react, I would rather have me, Kidou, Someoka and you helping Endou while the others practise their own things. Plus this gives the person helping Endou a break as we can rotate"

Coach Hibiki thought about it for a second before nodding and giving instructions on what they should focus on before everyone went to practise. For the next half an hour everyone practised their own skills before checking on Endou's progress, when they arrived they saw Someoka using Dragon Crash and Endou raising his right hand as a golden shroud(don't know the colour as I am colour blind so I hope I got it right) surrounded him before bringing his hand down to stop the ball but failed in doing so.

Coach Hibiki started to think about why Endou couldn't do the move, thinking it might be only Endou Daisuke who could perform the move, this got people's hopes down and started to think Endou couldn't do it.

Kino seeing this voiced her opinion "What's gotten into all of you? You look like you've given up already. The match hasn't even started!"

Kabeyama then said, "But if we can't stop their shoots…."

Kino quickly followed through "Then just get points!"

Someoka looked confused before asking "Get points?"

Kino explained "If they get 10 points, you get 11. If they get 100 points, you get 101. As long as you do that, you'll win!"

Everyone then started thinking about it then smirking and aiming to get 101 points and promising to do their best to stop Zeus jr in anyway they can.

The day of the match

Everyone gathered around the stadium only to see a closed sign on the gate to the stadium which confused everyone and wondered what happened before Natsumi got a call saying there was a stadium change to a floating stadium. Once entering the stadium they made it to the pitch to see if there was anything wrong with it only to see that everything was fine. Endou looked around the stadium only to see Kageyama watching them from above.

Endou notified everyone of his presence making everyone turn around and stare directly at him, seeing how everyone was feeling at the presence of Kageyama, coach Hibiki told Endou that Kageyama could have been responsible for his grandfather's death which shocked everyone. Endou was starting to hyperventilate before Gouenji put his hand on his shoulder calming him down and looking him directly into his eye before nodding as the rest of the team called out to him and showed their resolve to help Endou with his feelings.

After calming down and giving a team talk about playing their football, they went to get changed for the match and got back out to the field. Before the match started everyone from Zeus jr was given some water to drink which confused everyone.

Raimon lined up with:

Endou as GoalKeeper

Kazumaru, Kabeyama, Domon and Kurimatsu as defenders

Ichinose, Kidou, Naruto and Shourinji as midfielders

Gouenji and Someoka as forwards

The game kicked off with Zeus giving the ball to Aphrodi who stood still as Someoka and Gouenji ran towards him, as they got close to him Aphrodi spoke "I know the extent of your power and also, that it won't work on me" before raising his hand in the air before snapping, stopping time and calming walking past both Raimon players before raising his hand again and snapping, making it seemed like he vanished as a gust of wind spun around in the place he was just at. (Heaven's Time)

No one knew what he did and took a second to register what had happened before continuing to pressure him before he used Heaven's Time again this time getting past Ichinose and Kidou, then saying "We are beings who have risen above mankind"

Aphrodi made his way towards Domon and Kabyama who were both shaking in fear, seeing this Aphrodi said "There's no need to feel ashamed about your fear. When you're faced with someone who is more powerful than you…" then snapping his hand again appearing behind them and continuing speaking "...it is a natural reaction"

He now stood in front of Endou, Endou said "Bring it on! I'll stop you with everything I've got!"

Aphrodi stopped the ball on the penalty spot before saying "Have you ever heard the flap of angels' wings?". After saying that six white wings sprouted behind him as he and the ball flew into the sky before crossing his arms in an x-shape then uncross his arms as the ball was surrounded by a big white circle and his wings sprouted wider before kicking the ball and s a ying "This is the power of God!" (God Knows)

Endou quickly reacted by using God Hand but was unable to stop the ball and was launched into the goal.

0-1

Everyone was shocked at what had just happened, Kidou and Naruto shared a single thought "I knew it wasn't going to be enough".

Aphrodi spoke "Now do you understand? This is the real power of someone you so foolishly tried to win against"

Kazumaru, Ichinose and Kurimatsu ran towards Endou to check on him, Endou stood up and was holding his hand as it started shaking from the impact of trying to save the shot and said "It was an incredible shot. But I'll stop it next time!"

Everyone was gathered around Endou as he spoke and nodded at his proclamation and vowed to get a goal. Raimon kicked off made their way to the goal while the Zeus jr players stood still allowing them to run past them, not liking it one bit Someoka and Gouenji used Dragon Tornado, the keeper not even fazed by the shot summoned a wall of water blocking the goal (Tsunami Wall), stopping the shot before giving the ball to Gouenji and using his finger to asking them to take a shot which angered everyone in Raimon.

Kidou walked up to Gouenji and said "We'll show him that it was a mistake to give us the ball"

Then Kidou, Ichinose and Gouenji used Koutei Penguin number 2 and was stopped by Tsunami Wall before the ball was given to Ichinose. Ichinose called for Endou and Domon but was stopped when Naruto asked for the ball with clear rage in his eyes. After getting the ball Naruto said "You clearly think that we are a joke. So let me correct that" before using Fox Strike. The goalkeeper smirked before creating a fist and striking the top of the ball and creating an indent on the floor(Giganto Wall) but was shocked when the ball continued to push through and got past him.

1-1

Dead silence was heard from the stadium as everyone was in shock especially those from Zeus, but after a second the stadium erupted and the Raimon players congratulated Naruto for scoring. Walking past Aphrodi, Naruto said "Don't think you can crush us, we are just getting started"

Zeus kicked off and the ball ended up with Demete who was being closed in by Kazumaru, Kabeyama and Shourinji. Demete then crossed his arms then released them and created a gust of wind to send them away(Dash Storm) and making a break for goal then having rocks float from the ground and kicking the ball into the floating rocks reflecting them off one another before heading towards the goal(Reflect Blaster). Endou tried to save the shot with God Hand but was unsuccessful in doing so.

1-2

While everyone was getting up, Shourinji was still on the ground holding his leg in pain and needing to be subbed off. Hearing this Demete said "It was his fault for making a reckless challenge against a God"

The Raimon players didn't like that one bit but they had to calm down before they did something they regretted and end up receiving a red card. It was decided that Handa would replace Shourinji. The game continued as normal and the ball was once again given to Demete who was being closed in by Domon, Naruto and Kurimatsu. Demete again used Dash Storm to get past them, before passing the ball to Her a who stomped on the ball making the ball bounce before doing a backflip and connecting his foot to the ball giving the ball a white cover. Then Hera started to kick the ball in multiple ways(can't really describe it well so if you don't know or forgot look it up for a better representation) then using the bottom of his foot to send the ball towards the goal(Divine Arrow). Endou used Bakuretsu Punch to stop the ball but again was unable to do so.

1-3

Raimon was hit with another injury as Kurimatsu was injured, Naruto did suffer an injury from the fall but it wasn't bad enough that people noticed it. Kageno replaced Kurimatsu before the game continued, Raimon had the ball and made a break towards the goal by Deio who stopped Someoka by jumping high into the air and landing making the ground elevate upwards sending Someoka upwards(Mega Quake) and making him land badly on his shoulder. Matsuno was about to go on but Megane wanted to support the players on the pitch and was subbed on for Someoka but was immediately subbed off for Matsuno as he was hit with Mega Quake and landed badly.

The game continued with Zeus junior not caring about scoring goals and was instead focusing on causing as much pain as they possibly could. Every Raimon player was on the floor with bumps and bruises covering their entire body. Aphrodi asked Endou "Do you still wish to fight? No, of course, you do. Allow me to rephrase the question. Do you still wish to see your teammates suffer?"

Endou raised his head and saw the conditions of his teammates and clenched his fists and started to feel hopeless and questioned if it was the end. But his train of thought ended when Gouenji said "What're you waiting for, Endou? I'm going to fight. I swore to!", after that one by one each member of Raimon stood up and agreed to continue playing and called out to him "Endou!/Captain!". Endou stood back and was prepared to start.

The game continued as they got hit by Hissatsu techniques again, Naruto didn't charge in like last time and instead stayed behind and waited for them to attack. Seeing an opportunity Naruto made a sliding tackle and managed to dribble the ball forward and was met by Arute, Naruto used (Rasengan(The Rasengan is not a shot it is a dribbling hissatsu technique, just to make things clear)) onto him, knocking him away before continuing his dribbling but was stopped by Hepai.

After retrieving the ball Zeus went back on their assault on Endou who tried to use Majin the Hand but was still unable to pull off the move. At the Fifteen minute mark, Aphrodi kicked the ball out of play and walked off the pitch with the other Zeus players for a water break which confused everyone.

Everyone from Raimon was getting looked at while the female managers went off to find out about the water the Zeus players were drinking, once they returned the game had continued with the Raimon players still on the floor.

The referee seeing the state of the Raimon players lifted his hand up and was about to declare the match over but was stopped when Endou spoke "Not yet! The match isn't over yet"

The referee still looked unclear and said "But with only you…"

He was about to continue speaking when Gouenji cut him off by saying "It's not just him", with the rest of R aimon agreeing. Seeing Aphrodi's shock Kidou said "Your face tells me you don't believe what you're seeing. Endou will stand up no matter how many times it takes. Every time he falls, he gets stronger. You're no match for Endou's strength"

Aphrodi then said, "Then let's put it to the test" and got ready to use God Knows but was unable to do so as the halftime whistle went. After landing Aphrodi said "You managed to escape with your life, Raimon"

Half-time

The Rimon players had to help each other off the pitch and were told by Natsumi about 'The aqua of the gods', The Raimon players were outraged by what was going on, as the players were getting looked at, Natsumi grabbed Endou's arm and looked concerned about the next half. As if he knew what Natsumi was thinking, Endou said "It's all right. I can keep going. I have to. We have to show Zeus that their way of football is wrong"

Everyone nodded at Endou's words and wanted to keep fighting alongside him. Haruna was looking t Naruto's arm and saw that he was in lots of pain and was about to say something before Naruto cut her off by saying "I'm fine, it just stings a little, nothing to worry about"

Haruna wanted to say something but nodded her head, Naruto then stood up and spoke "Listen up everyone, I got a plan"

Hearing this everyone looked towards Naruto wanting to hear about the plan. Naruto explained "Listen, we know for a fact that the 'aqua of the gods' doesn't last that long. This means their bodies will begin to slow down and make their moves sluggish, which will give us an opening to score against them. But the downside is that we will have to hold off till the last couple minutes of the game"

Hearing this brought a little hope back to Raimon but it still led to some problems like how to survive till the last moments before the game. Coach Hibiki didn't know what to do but the determination in the players' eyes allowed him to come to a decision and said "All right, go get'em!"

The team nodded before heading back onto the pitch, Raimon kicked off and made a mad dash to the opposition goal. Gouenji was fighting for possession with Deio, who didn't look fazed by the attempt even when Ichinose and Kidou tried to help Gouenji. The trio was then hit by Mega Quake and hit the ground hard, Aphrodi was then given the ball and started to walk towards Endou using Heavens Time to get past everyone in his way. Reaching the penalty box he was met with Naruto and Endou, he then said "You are the only two left standing"

Naruto started to run towards Aphrodi, who smirked and snapped his fingers to use Heavens Time but was surprised when Naruto continued to advance and managed to steal the ball. The Zeus players looked shocked at this as it was the first time something like this has happened. Naruto who was standing behind Aphrodi with the ball in his feet said "You make me sick, using a drug to help you win and calling yourselves Gods, what a load of rubbish. All you are is a team of people who thought everything will be given to you on a silver platter and not doing anything. Let me show you the difference between you fakes and people who worked hard for their dreams"

Naruto then stormed the pitch, moving in a yellow flash, just like his father did before making it to the opposite goal before taking a normal shot which managed to push the keeper back. He would have scored too if it wasn't for the Zeus defenders helping their keeper remain standing, Naruto quickly ran back to defend but was hit in the back of the head by Divine Arrow which made him hit the floor hard.

The game continued like it did in the first half with Aphrodi just kicking the ball directly at Endou, who refused to stay down. Aphrodi was starting to shake in annoyance and wanted to end the game, Endou told him "This is a fight to protect the football we love!", with the Raimon players agreeing with him

Aphrodi screamed at Endou "Feel the true strength of the Gods!" and got ready to use God Knows, as Aphrodi was in the air, Endou turned around and held his chest which shocked everyone. Seeing this Aphrodi said "Have you given up? But it's too late now!", as this was happening a yellow like twister formed around Endou. When Aphrodi kicked the ball Endou shouted "This is my Majin the Hand!" as a giant Majin appeared behind him and helped him stop the ball.

Everyone from Raimon was happy about this and started to move towards the opposite goal. Endou quickly threw the ball to Kidou who dribbled the ball and was hit by Mega Quake but while he was in the air he headed the ball towards Gouenji who used Fire Tornado and launched the ball downwards towards Kidou who landed on his feet and kicked the ball towards goal (Twin Boost). The keeper used Tsunami Wall to try to stop it but was unable to do so as the ball went flying in.

2-3

Everyone from Raimon was celebrating until Endou noticed that Naruto hadn't moved since taking the shot to the back of the head and quickly ran towards him as the others followed him. Coach Hibiki did a cheek on him and was thankful to find found out he was knocked out then suffering a major injury, Coach Hibiki then took him off the field. Seeing this the Raimon players got even angrier than before and got ready for the kickoff.

Zeus kicked off and made their way towards the goal with Aphrodi taking another shot at Endou who saved it again before handing the ball to Kazumaru who brought the ball forward. Raimon quickly passed the ball between one another before the ball landed at Gouenji's feet. Gouenji then said "I will fight for the football we believe in and stop those who are affected by Kageyama's schemes, this is for Yuuka, Naruto and everyone you hurt along the way", once he finished speaking he used Bakunetsu Storm. The ball went towards the keeper who tried to stop the shot with Giganto Wall but was unsuccessful.

3-3

Aphrodi was in disarray and couldn't figure out what happened as he believed that they were truly given the powers bestowed upon them by the gods. Raimon was quick to capitalise on the disorganised Zeus team and intercepted the ball, Ichinose, Domon and Endou used The Phoenix but didn't kick the ball as Gouenji used Fire Tornado onto the ball making The Phoenix bigger, the Zeus keeper was scared at what he saw and ran away from the goal, allowing Raimon to score the game-winning goal.

4-3

Everyone from Raimon celebrated, even a semi-conscious Naruto who walked onto the pitch with some help before saying "So Natsumi are you going to take Endou on a celebrational date or wait till next week". Both Endou and Natsumi blushed deep red and denied everything as the people around them laughed at their expense.

After the celebrations ended the team got checked out by the medical staff present at the stadium and to their relief none of the injured were severe and would clear up soon. Naruto was forced to have an ice pack on his head but would be able to continue as normal within the next couple of hours but would have to get checked on before doing anything too serious.

The Raimon players besides Gouenji who went to the hospital and Domon and Ichinose who went to meet their friend got onto the bus and were head back to the school, on the trip back they talked about their experience from the games with a couple of jokes had at Natsumi and Endou's expense which lasted up until Endou saw something out the window and alerted everyone, soon a destructive force was coming from the location of the school.

Upon arriving at the school, they saw it had all been destroyed, the principal said aliens were the ones who destroyed the school which shocked everyone. When reaching the football pitch they saw the injured bodies of the legendary Inazuma Eleven, all of a sudden a loud noise was heard causing everyone to look around to find out where the noise was coming from until Kidou yelled for Endou as three balls flew above him before gathering together revealing the aliens.

The aliens told the Raimon players that this was a demonstration of their powers before the captain kicked a ball towards Endou who tried to use Majin the Hand but was unable to stop it as the force from the ball knocked everyone onto the floor.

Once they recovered they looked back at the aliens, only to find out, they had already left, Natsumi and Kino received a call telling them what has happened at the other schools. The players quickly made it back onto the bus and headed off to Kasamino junior to play against, they had arrived just in time to stop them from destroying the school and were allowed to play for the school.

Raimon kicked off with Someoka using Dragon Crash right away which was stopped with the knee of their captain before he blasted a shot towards goal and scored before Endou could use Majin the Hand.

0-1

This shocked everyone but they continued the game as normal and were outpaced by the aliens who quickly scored again

0-2

This time Naruto started off with the ball and made a break towards goal, he managed to get past the aliens before bringing his hands towards his face showing his palms towards the keeper before separating them as a giant Kyuubi appeared behind him shocking everyone before he backflip behind the ball and struck the ball(Kyuubi Strike) the goalkeeper looked unimpressed and tried to catch the ball but was instead was sent into the goal.

1-2

The Raimon players and the Kasamino players celebrated the goal but after kick-off, the game became one-sided even with the help from Gouenji, Raimon was completely destroyed and had suffered major injuries without scoring another goal. The match ended 1-22 to the aliens, the players that were injured were rushed to the hospital for a check-up.

The next day Endou walked into the hospital to find everyone was up and about, with some major injuries that sidelined them but Naruto was still out, as the injuries caused by Zeus and the aliens had him resting. It was decided that the remaining Raimon eleven would travel around the country fighting the aliens and gathering new members to help in their quest.

AN1: I know this chapter is longer than my usual ones which I don't know how often this will happen but if you guys want me to shorten it I can cut this chapter down in half and release it as 2 different chapters

AN2: I know that some of you guys don't like the idea of Naruto getting knocked out in the Zeus game but I didn't want Naruto to do most of the work and let's be real it's a miracle that they can survive getting hit by the hissatsu techniques, seeing as they can damage metal

AN3: Now for Naruto's return, I have 3 ideas about his return. I don't want to spoil anything yet but each of them I like, so it might take me sometime to figure out which one I will use but if you guys have any ideas let me know

AN4: I would also like you guys' opinion on who should be in the Japan team in the FFI tournament as one person will have to be removed for Naruto. I am also okay with having others in the team like Genda or Aphrodi so just let me know and I am happy to put them in
