Nothing was more petty than a god scorned.
The Shinigami had been scorned by the Uzumaki clan many times, and just because he got his revenge didn't mean that he was done getting revenge. Gods did not believe that any mortals should get away with just being punished.
They needed to suffer.
"JINCHURIKI! Bring me the Jinchuriki! The Shinigami sends his regards, and has offered me my revenge!"
A giant, a giant creature that was unlike anything that had ever been seen by devil society before just one day appeared in the middle of the forest.
Serafall Leviathan looked at it with her eyes serious when she saw it standing in the ruined remains of a low-class devil village. Devils who were extra demons not even apart of the 72 pillars, and she saw dozens of corpses piled up in the middle of the village. She was the first to arrive after getting an alert, a distress signal that suddenly vanished for no reason. The entire village was burning to the ground, and tears welled up at the edges of her eyes.
A monster.
It stood over 70 feet tall, and it's body was black... skeletal in appearance. It had the appearance of a headless monkey's skeleton with black furred skin stretched over the bones, and large featured bird wings... it's body was unnaturally, horrible thin for it's size, and it's mouth was located on it's torso... opened wide to show the creature had no real internal organs, but large, horrible teeth that were designed for destruction.
No eyes.
Yet, it looked towards her, turned it's body to face her, and she closed her eyes to sense any magical power in the village.
None.
"... I'm going to kill you." Serafall took her wand, and she charged up a large amount of magical power.
She swung it.
The entire village froze solid, but to her shock, the monster dodged her attack even before she fired it. Where the village froze over, it floated up into the air as if it knew the exact range of her attack, and exactly when she was going to launch it.
Pure magical power.
Serafall gathered her magic power in it's purest form and raised her wand above her head, before she brought it down and launched a beam out of it. A beam so fast that it crossed the great distance between herself and the monster within a moment.
It dodged.
It just dodged her attack, and her attack went flying passed it, and it a mountain range, blowing the entire mountain range up to smithereens. Serafall stepped back in shock as it flew at her, and just as fast as her beam had crossed the distance, it too crossed the distance and floated in the air above her. It flapped it's wings and hurled a wave of sharpened feathers right at her, faster than she thought that something it's size could possibly launch something.
'Sirzechs... hurry up, or Ajuka... this thing... what the hell is it?' Serafall created a wall of ice in front of her.
A feather pierced the ice and came feet away from her head, with her eyes widening at the piercing power of the feathers. She looked to her left and swung her arm out of instinct, abandoning her wand in favor of pure power.
No holding back.
"Celsius Cross Trigger!"
An icy wasteland was what became the region around her as she activated her strongest technique, with such a wide radius that she had no doubt that it couldn't dodge her. Her icy wall expanded in size, and she covered a small counties worth of land in ice, with parts of her own body being covered in frost as well.
"Cold... but you missed."
'How... how did I miss?' Serafall watched as the monster floated down, having seemingly dodged every single pillar of ice that formed, and even the cold itself. It's breath was hot enough to be visible from even behind the large wall of ice between her and the monster. Serafall summoned her wings and flew up above the wall.
A red ball went flying at her the second her head was above the wall, and she flew to dodge it, before she saw the monster flew in front of her, waiting for her. The red ball hit a mountain when it missed her, and turned the mountain into a crater.
What was this thing?
'It's fast, and agile... this thing is way faster than anything it's size should be, and how can it dodge everything I send at it?' Serafall placed both of her hands in front of herself. She summoned dozens of fireballs instead of ice, and rained them down towards the monster.
It flew, and it's agility was unreal as it managed to fly between the fireballs, despite it's size. She destroyed huge portions of ice and frozen forest, but she was unable to so much as scratch her agile enemy.
She slapped her forehead and placed a mind reading block on herself.
"... You think your protections will stop me from reading your heart?"
Serafall felt her heart skip a beat when it spoke of what she did, and how futile it was. She calmed herself and kept throwing spell after spell at it, if only to keep it dodging her attacks. She flew and dodged the feathers it sent her way, but that was a challenge. It sent so many of them, and it seemed to always know where she was going to dodge.
She would lose the long range battle if this kept up.
'It doesn't just predict my attacks before they happen, it predicts where I'm going to be before I'm even there.' Serafall stopped firing spells for a moment so that she could focus completely on dodging. The feathers were huge, and they should have been easy to dodge, but there was no end to them, and they were all launched with pinpoint accuracy. She felt one of them tear the shoulder of her outfit, and wound her deep enough to get a small cry of pain out of her. '... and it's getting more accurate... what the hell is a Jinchuriki... what is this thing even looking...' Serafall gasped in shock.
Her vision was blocked as it dodged the distance between them and reached out for her, it's hand blocking her sight.
It was unbelievably fast.
She flew between it's fingers as it gripped at her, and went point blank range as she charged up her magical power and transformed it. She pointed at it from a zero distance range.
"Gotcha."
She fired her ice magic at it, but it just flipped and twisted it's body, dodging her attack, even at point blank range.
"Sirzechs, please hurry up... I'll even accept Ajuka or the lazy general... I don't know how long I can keep this thing preoccupied." The monster mocked her with her thoughts, what she was thinking deep inside of herself. She flew away from it and created enough distance that she could resume a battle of range. She kept her eyes on it, never letting it out of her sight or else be shocked by an attack she couldn't predict. "Where could such a strong beast appear from, and how it is reading my heart... you're not my target devil woman." The monster roared with laughter as it mocked her.
"... I'm not just a devil woman, I'm the strongest female devil, I am Magical Girl Serafall... and stop reading my mind, it's an invasion of privacy."
"I don't need to read your mind, the darkness in your heart is more than enough." The creature pointed a finger at her.
'Gotcha.' Serafall pointed both of her hands up, and pillars of ice shot out of the frozen ground and went towards the monster. The second she was sure it dropped it's guard, but instead, she was stunned when it created a red energy ball with it's hand-like feet, and smashed the pillars, before putting a large crater in the ground.
It seemed to frown at her.
The shattered remains of the ice it shattered floated around it, before Serafall turned them into spears and aimed them at it from all angles.
"Dodge this."
It flapped it's wings and sent feathers at every single shard of ice, destroying them all, before it swipped it's hand and knocked away the broken remains. It flew directly towards her, and she charged up a spell in front of her.
It swatted her.
It's hand came out at her faster than it should have, and she felt an immense and powerful pressure behind the attack as she slammed into the frozen ground hard enough to shatter her own ice, and several of her bones. Her body became the center of a crater, and blood came out of her mouth.
"I hoped a dead village would lure the jinchuriki out... but it seems like maybe the strongest female devil would be better bait."
'Can't move away... broke my wings, and I've both both my legs and my arm broke... and several ribs for sure.' Serafall raised her hand and summoned enough strength to make the ice around her grow, and shoot out like frozen hands towards the monster. It dodged her attacks though and created distance between them. She grinned as blood leaked down her face, and she saw one of her own ice chunks had pierced through her shin. "... Talk like that after you've killed me, because magical girls don't stop fighting until we die." Serafall closed an eye when her own blood covered half of her face completely.
How could something with such skinny arms in comparison to it's size pack so much of a punch, because she felt like she just had a mountain slammed on top of her.
It turned away from her.
A huge sphere flew towards the monster, a sphere of destructive magic unlike what Serafall was capable of. It was fast enough that it almost hit the monster, but still the creature dodged the attack as if it had known it was coming.
"More bats come flying to the slaughter."
"Serafall..." Ajuka landed next to her, while Sirzechs landed in front of them, with another sphere of destruction charged up.
"You guys came."
"Of course, there was no way we could miss you using that attack... how did you not kill it with your ultimate move?" Sirzechs had a feeling he was about to get his answer. He created dozens of spheres and launched them all, but somehow, the monster was able to weave through them all. He placed a mind reading block on himself, but his eyes widened when the creature STILL read him and dodged his attacks.
He raised both arms above his head, and created a mountains size of demonic power, and he swung his arms down.
It moved out of the way.
"Something that big... can't be that fast." Ajuka watched as it swung it's wings and started to do calculations.
Sirzechs easily destroyed the feathers that came their way, but he couldn't do much more than defend and launch attacks. He glanced back at Ajuka, who lifted up Serafall, and carefully held her so that she wouldn't be in too much pain.
"... Be careful... despite it's appearance, it's fast... it's faster than anything I've ever seen before, and if it hits you... one good hit and consider your body broken. I think it can see the future, that is how it always knows our next move." Serafall gave Sirzechs her best guess on how the monster could dodge all of their attacks.
"I'll unleash my true-"
"-form that you have no control of... yes, spread wanton destruction, but no matter how destructive your attacks become, you will never be able to hit me, and eventually, you will run out of magic." The monster spoke.
That alarmed everyone.
How did it know that?
"Simple... I can read your hearts... you will never be able to make an attack I can't predict, no matter how fast or strong you are... there have only ever been 3 people who have managed to touch me... and they aren't you."
"Guess I'll be the 4th." Sirzechs stated with a dipping frown.
"He's already dodged my fastest attack, and he dodged Serafalls largest attack... can I really hit him."
"Stop that." Sirzechs hated that the monster was getting that.
The monster grinned.
"Go ahead Ajuka, analyze me... but my power is a power that you can't even comprehend! My revenge against the Jinchuriki who defeated me once before, the Shinigami's revenge! I know all your abilities, all your thoughts... everything you will do, I already know it! You can't touch me." The monster kept dodging all of Sirzechs continious attacks just to prove a point that he could dodge them.
"Get her out of here!"
"Gotcha." Ajuka flew off, and left Sirzechs in the destroyed frozen wasteland by himself with the monster.
The monster allowed them to leave without attacking them.
"Bring me the Jinchuriki Sirzechs, bring him to me... bring me my prey, and your son, your wife, your parents, and your sister will never become my targets. You can't hit me, and you can't risk your true form... you can't control it properly... you can't risk running out of magic."
The monster raised a hand.
He lifted up 3 fingers.
"... I will halt my destruction for 3 months... bring me the Jinchuriki in 3 months, and I will be gone from this world." The monster grinned sadistically, but Sirzechs kept attacking and not giving it a chance to launch too many of it's own attacks. "Oh come on Sirzechs, I don't tire... I don't need food, or sleep, or to restore my stamina... I can keep fighting forerver with no rest. You will soon run out of power... my deal is not a bad one." The monster raised it's hand again.
Sirzechs narrowed his eyes in anger, and just increased the number of spheres he was controlling to attack the monster. Even the growth in number didn't bring him any closer to landing a hit.
"You won't keep your word."
"Ah, but I have no choice, for I can only remain in this world until the one who summoned me gets his revenge... why would I lie, when I can just wait for you to exhaust yourself... and kill you when you're exhausted." The monster raised a point.
Sirzechs frowned.
'I've already used a small chunk of magic... at this rate, it will only be hours before I run out.' Sirzechs kept attacking.
Attacking was the best defense.
He stopped attacking.
"... How will I be able to find this Jinchuriki?"
"He will be the only one who reacts to that word... I do believe this world lacks that term. 3 months... but keep my existence a secret."
'He's afraid... he doesn't want this Jinchuriki thing to know he's here and give him time to prepare... he came here, and attacked a devil village... so this Jinchuriki must be among my people. Why 3 months?'
"Why yes, I am afraid of the Jinchuriki... but that knowledge will do you no good, and why three months you ask... I don't think it should take you too long to find him."
'I can keep fighting... but...'
"I don't know how he keeps reading me, so I can't hit him... well thought boy. I am Satori, the monster who roamed the world during the era of the Six Paths Sage himself... ah... this world doesn't know who that is... I see... then I will wait right here."
-Days Later-
"... My formula can't calculate it... I've never seen anything like it, and this energy is foreign to me." Ajuka apologized.
His powers would be of no use against this monster, but he could research and try and figure out some sort of plan.
"We obviously can't give it this Jinchuriki person."
"I agree." Falbium didn't see any good coming from agreeing to the demands of a monster. "... we can gather our armies."
"... and do what... it will predict everything we do, and if we are surrounded by out comrades, we can't use our strongest powers. It can predict everything we do, but we know literally nothing about it that can help us. Are you okay Serafall?" Sirzechs placed a hand on the bandaged up Serafall, who had been mostly healed.
All that remained were some broken ribs.
"I'm better... but I agree with Ajuka... for all we know, this Jinchuriki guy knows the secret to beating it... maybe it JUST wants the Jinchuriki, so that we can't learn how it's secret works." Serafall could see it invading them again the second that it's secret was safe. "The more people we get to fight it, the harder it will be for us to actually hit it too. It's body is shaped weird and hard to hit, and large scale attacks would just hit out people." Serafall could see this thing destroying armies with more ease than fighting one on one.
Sirzechs nodded.
"It seems designed to destroy large groups of people... so we should just give it this Jinchuriki, and let the Jinchuriki fight it. This is frustrating... how can something so big, he so fast and agile... if only I could hit it, I could destroy it... but it really does seem like it can predict the future." Sirzechs hated the feeling of going against an enemy that he just didn't know how to hit.
It was fast enough to dodge his attacks.
It was strong enough that it's physical attacks would be finishers.
Finally, it seemed to always be able to predict ALL of his attacks, even surprise attacks.
The enemy was simple, but not only could it predict attacks, it could predict their thoughts, so they couldn't trap it either. He could only see fighting the monster ending with him running out of stamina, and the monster finishing him off when he ran out. That or take turns fighting it with his fellow satans, and when one of them gets exhausted, another one takes their place, and they just keep taking turns.
That would only be a temporary solution.
"Any theories?" Ajuka tried to think.
It wasn't reading their mind, so how was it reading them so accurately?
"We can't beat it then... realistically, we might as well just give up and find this Jinchuriki... leave this mess to him instead. Watch him fight it, and learn it's weakness... then if it kills the Jinchuriki and vanishes... good for us... if it doesn't vanish, at least we can learn it's weakness and kill it ourselves... at the cost of one life." Falbium changed his mind on the course of action he supported.
"No."
"Veto." Serafall and Ajuka agreed.
"I agree... with Falbium... either way, in the end we can win. Anyway, this Jinchuriki person is just some random. Not our family, or our friend... for all we know he's a horrible person too." Sirzechs sighed and hated his words. "... if the monster was telling the truth, he just wants revenge... and we can finish the monster after we learn it's weakness, even if it is lying."
"... So we're split down the middle."
Serafall slammed her fist against the wall behind her.
'I hate this... if only I knew how to hit it... then I could have beaten it by myself... I'll find this Jinchuriki before Sirzechs and Falbium, and get him to team up with me.' Serafall stared down those who opposed her desires in the room.
"We don't have an option... until we know how it reads us, we need to go off the assumption that every plan we make WILL fail us. We have no information on the enemy, but the second we show up, it knows all our information... it has already won the battle of knowledge. It knows our abilities, how they work, how to dodge them, and how to work around them... we don't even know what kind of energy this thing uses... Ajuka can't fight it with no information... Sirzechs can't hit it without using his true form, and even that might not let him hit it... and my power is more defensive." Falbium continued to try and persuade Ajuka and Serafall. "... and you already lost."
"I didn't lose."
"Did you win?... then you lost." Falbium stated clearly for the woman to hear. "Listen, it told you guys that 3 people have touched it... that means it DOES have a weakness, and this Jinchuriki knows it... by giving it the Jinchuriki, we win... either the Jinchuriki beats it, or we can learn it's weakness and beat it ourselves... and it is telling the truth, one life saves many."
They continued to argue.
Neither side changed their opinion.
Sirzechs and Falbium on one side.
Serafall and Ajuka on the other.
Chapter End!
Please Leave Me Lots of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
Satori
Speed: Something fast enough to dodge Guy, Rock Lee, and Sage Naruto (who could move faster than lightning easily at age 16)
Strength: Something strong enough to knock away Choji as a giant boulder, and Gamabunta, with extreme ease, as well as throw Gamabunta across an island.
Durability: Something durable to take punches from Sage Naruto punches, who can lift and throw giants like Kurama and slam them into the ground with ease.
Agility: Something agile enough to dodge the Konoha 11, Killer Bee, Tsunade, Kakashi, Yamato, and Guy all at the same time.
Skill: Will always know your weaknesses, how to dodge you, and what you will do next, so long as you are experiencing any negative emotions at all.
Satori is literally an extinction-class threat, but we don't get to see much of that in the movie he was in... because he was unlucky enough that Naruto was his enemy, and figured out his ability.
