Beastly roars could be heard throughout the village.
Red devils, gray golems, griffins, and giant centipedes roamed the place, destroying everything in their path.
All the ninjas present used all their efforts to kill all these creatures, but the more of these creatures they killed, the more they appeared.
"Gentle Fist!" shouted Neji leaping up and slamming his chakra-covered palm into the chest of a red devil, knocking him down in the process.
A griffin swooped towards him with claws at the ready, but then, several weapons shot out towards him, stabbing into his neck and body, causing him to fall to the ground.
Neji turned to the side to see that it was Tenten who launched the attack with one of her scrolls.
"You know I saw it from the beginning, right?" asked Neji.
"You're welcome for helping you." said Tenten with a smile.
Suddenly, a gray golem landed next to the two ninjas and raised a fist to crush them.
"Dynamic Entry!" shouted Rock Lee lunging forward with one leg and kicking the golem's head hard, knocking him to the ground with a loud thud before landing next to the rest of his teammates. "These beasts are no match for the power of the Handsome Devil of the Hidden Leaf Village! Let them come to me if they have the guts!"
Just as he said that, a giant centipede emerged from the ground, roared at them and as it was preparing to attack...
"Ice-Make: Lance!" shouted Gray causing a series of ice lances to impale the centipede who fell to the ground shortly after.
The Team Guy members turned to the side to see Gray approaching them shirtless.
"Why are you shirtless?" asked Tenten covering her flushed face.
"Long story. Those things never seem to end." said Gray.
"Yeah. At this rate, we'll end up exhausted and the village will be destroyed." said Neji.
"Then we just have to wipe them all out until there's none of them left!" said Rock Lee.
"We can do that, or we can look for the one responsible. These monsters have to come from somewhere." said Gray.
"That's right. If we defeat the one handling them, they'll stop appearing." said Tenten.
Gray gave the ninja weapons expert a nod before turning his gaze to the white-eyed boy.
"They say you can sense things well with your eyes. Can you locate the monsters' place of origin?" asked Gray.
"I'll try." said Neji before putting his hands in a ninja gesture. "Byakugan!" shouted Neji as the veins around his eyes became too marked. "I sense a monster-like presence at the edge of the village."
"No doubt it will be the demon creating the monsters." said Gray.
"Then let's waste no time and go after him!" said Rock Lee before the group of four went in the direction Neji pointed out.
Meanwhile, near the edge of the village, on the rooftop of a building stood Standhells who was contemplating the chaos and destruction his monsters were creating.
"That's it. Raze everything to the ground. Let there be nothing left." said Standhells with a smile (though it wasn't visible).
Suddenly, he felt something incoming and jumped to the side to avoid being crushed by an ice hammer.
"What the hell...?" asked Standhells before turning to see Gray and Team Guy on the rooftop.
"Almost had him." said Gray indicating that he created the ice hammer.
"Is that a demon? Well it looks adorable to me." said Tenten.
"Adorable? Adorable?! I'm a demon! You should be afraid of me!" exclaimed Standhells offended by the comment.
"I agree with her. I've seen the demons of Tartaros and you are the least terrifying of them all." said Gray remembering what the 9 demons of Tartaros looked like.
"Don't compare me to those Tartaros idiots! Those ungrateful bastards only wanted me to create an army for them. That's why I left, they want an army, let them make one for themselves!" said Standhells with resentment towards that dark guild of demons.
"So you're the one creating those monsters, are you?" asked Rock Lee pointing at the egg-shaped demon.
"That's right, my curse allows me to summon monsters that obey my every command. No matter how many you kill, I can create a hell of a lot more without any problem." said Standhells arrogantly.
"You lie. I can see that your power is reduced a little every time you create a monster." said Neji with his Byakugan activated.
"Damn it. You got me." said Standhells annoyed that he discovered his weak point. "Well, I may lose power by creating one of my monsters, but that doesn't mean I'm weak."
"We'll find that out." said Gray preparing to fight along with the three ninjas.
In another part of the village that was being attacked by the monsters, Shikamaru used his shadow jutsu to trap a gray golem.
"Expansion Jutsu!" shouted Choji pleasing his fist until it was huge and slamming it into the trapped golem, knocking him down in the process.
"God, these things are a drag. There's too many of them." said Shikamaru.
"But we can't stop now." said Choji.
"Shikamaru. Choji."
The two ninjas looked up to see Sai on top of a drawing bird flying near them.
"What's wrong, Sai?" asked Shikamaru.
"While I was fighting the flying monsters, I scouted the ground a bit and I could see something strange." said Sai.
"Strange? In what way?" asked Choji.
"In that it looked like some kind of floating black sheet." said Sai.
Shikamaru's eyes widened in surprise at hearing that.
After Kaguya was interrogated, he was briefed on the appearance of all the demons to prepare a plan of attack in case of the appearance of any of them, but that was before Dokuzetsu reported his current attack.
"Shikamaru, do you know what it is?" asked Choji.
"Yes, it's one of Death Hand's demons." said Shikamaru to the surprise of the overweight ninja and the pale ninja.
"In that case, what should we do?" asked Sai.
Shikamaru closed his eyes to start thinking.
On the one hand, the monsters were still attacking the village, but on the other hand, they knew the location of a demon.
They could focus their efforts on wiping out the monsters, but if they let that demon loose, who knows what it might do.
Besides, they weren't the only ones fighting the monsters.
Once he decided on his move, he opened his eyes.
"Take us to him." said Shikamaru with a serious look on his face.
Linfral was on the rooftop of a building contemplating his guild's attack.
It was then that he noticed a shadow flying over him and looked up to see a strange white bird with black borders flying in the air before three people jumped out of the bird and landed in front of him.
"You're a Death Hand demon, right?" asked Shikamaru.
"Yes, and you must be Leaf ninja, am I right?" asked Linfral.
"No, you're right." said Shikamaru as he stared at the demon in front of him and analyzed it. "At first glance, it doesn't look like much, but given their amount of power and from what we were told about them, we can't let our guard down. Not to mention we don't know what it's capable of."
"Tell me, why are you attacking our village? It's not like we did anything to you." said Sai.
"Oh, of course you didn't, but according to our new member, in this village there are... meddling people and we don't like people who get in our way." said Linfral.
"I see." began Sai before pulling out a scroll and a paintbrush. "In that case, I can't let you leave here." said Sai before unfolding the blank scroll and set about quickly drawing a pair of lions on it and then waving his hand. "Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll!" shouted Sai causing the lions to come to life, jump out of the paper and launch themselves towards the demon.
However, before they could sink their claws into him, Linfral expanded and enveloped the lions and when it opened, it revealed that the lions had disappeared.
"Did he wipe them out?" asked Choji in surprise.
"No, I don't think that's it." said Shikamaru.
"Clever boy. It's true, my curse allows me to, not only transport myself, but whoever I want to anywhere in this world or beyond, but you can rest assured. I won't run away, but stay here to finish you off." said Linfral.
Hearing that, the three ninjas prepared to fight the demon.
"A demon that can travel anywhere with no problem. It's a drag, but we can't lose." thought Shikamaru.
High in the sky, flying over the village, stood Dokuzetsu watching the destruction created by the monsters with a huge grin.
"Hehehe. After all these years, I never get tired of seeing humans being destroyed. I guess it's in their destiny." said Dokuzetsu.
Suddenly, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye and quickly stepped backwards to dodge something speeding towards him.
The object slammed into a red devil, revealing itself to be some kind of bone.
The red devil let out a roar as he fell to the ground at the same time as his body and bone deteriorated to complete ashes.
Dokuzetsu's eyes widened in horror as he recognized that attack perfectly.
Turning around, he found Kaguya Otsutsuki, hovering in the air in front of him.
"Hello, son." said Kaguya.
"You? I thought you were dead." said Dokuzetsu.
"I must admit that look suits you better, Black Zetsu." said Kaguya.
"I don't call myself that anymore. Like you, I left my name behind as soon as I decided to join Master Dunkino. I am now Dokuzetsu, demon member of Death Hand. And you, Kaguya, won't stop me. I will be the one to keep all the chakra in the world, not you." declared Dokuzetsu.
"You're wrong, I didn't come here to keep the chakra of this world." said Kaguya.
"Ah no? I thought you thought all the chakra belonged to you." said Dokuzetsu.
"That was before. Now I understand that my children used my chakra wisely to create a peaceful world. To keep it that way, I cannot leave you and the demons to do as you wish. That's why..." began Kaguya as a third eye opened on her forehead, revealing the Rinne Sharingan. "I'll stop you right here!" declared Kaguya with determination.
Needless to say, Dokuzetsu was taken aback by his former mother's speech.
"You've changed, Kaguya. Much more than I imagined." began Dokuzetsu before a toothy, demonic grin formed on his face. "That makes it all the more fun to kill you! And this time, I'll make sure you don't come back to life!"
"W-what is that?" asked a terrified ninja.
"I don't know, but it's an enemy." said another ninja before throwing a kunai, only for it to end up bouncing off a rock-solid surface.
It turns out that what they were looking at was Belmastos, who was strolling around the village like nothing was wrong, but stopped when that kunai bounced off his skin.
"Hmm. Is that all? I expected something more from you Leaf ninjas" Belmastos said before creating in his hand a black sphere covered in an orange aura. "Demon Blast!" shouted Belmastos throwing the sphere which, upon impacting the ground between the two ninjas, caused an explosion that killed them instantly. "Pathetic."
"Hey, ugly bug!"
Belmastos turned to the side to see Konohamaru scowling at him.
"I won't let you take another step!" said Konohamaru.
"Brat, don't you realize what I am?" asked Belmastos.
"I don't care what you are! I won't let you destroy the village!" exclaimed Konohamaru before gesturing with his hands. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" shouted Konohamaru before several clones of him emerged around him through bursts of smoke and then they all charged towards the demon.
They started punching and kicking the demon all over, including his wings, but he remained motionless as their attacks didn't even tickle him.
Feeling fed up with that, Belmastos grabbed Konohamaru by the neck, lifted him to his eye level and, with a flap of his wings, took out the clones.
"Listen to me, brat. I've been living a lot longer than you. I have more experience than you can imagine. From my point of view, you're nothing but an insect." said Belmastos.
"Insect, huh?" asked Konohamaru.
Suddenly, the ground beneath Belmastos exploded and out of it came another Konohamaru clone that struck the demon.
While the blow did nothing to him, it was enough for him to release the original.
After that, the clone began to rip the air over the open palm of the original's hand, beginning to form a sphere of blue energy.
"What?" asked Belmastos confused by what he was doing.
By the time the sphere was complete, Konohamaru charged towards the demon with a battle cry.
"Rasengan!" shouted Konohamaru impacting the sphere into the demon's chest, managing to send him crashing into a wall. "Yeah, how'd you like that?!" asked Konohamaru with a toothy grin.
However, his smile was wiped away as Belmastos began to laugh as he easily got up.
"Hahaha. Well, well, well. Looks like the bug is stronger than I thought. I almost felt that attack." began Belmastos, much to the young ninja's horror. "Since you have the guts to attack me." said Belmastos before suddenly appearing in front of the young ninja with his fist raised. "Let's see if you have them to fight!"
"How fast!" thought Konohamaru before immediately jumping backwards, managing to dodge the punch that impacted the ground, leaving a crater in the process. "And how strong! He's definitely a demon!"
"What's wrong? Where's that courage you showed earlier? Or did you just realize the difference between the two of us?" asked Belmastos with a wicked toothy grin.
Konohamaru's body began to tremble from fear and his instincts were endlessly telling him to run away, as he could see perfectly well that he didn't stand a chance against him.
However, at the thought of a certain someone, he put that aside and stood with a kunai in hand, ready to fight.
"I-I won't run away. I-I will fight you. I am Konohamaru Sarutobi, a Leaf ninja and I will fight for my home and my people!" declared Konohamaru with determination even though he was shaking.
"Hehehe. You've got a lot of guts, I'll give you that. It's a shame you're going to die so soon, but..." began Belmastos before launching himself towards the young ninja with a drawn back fist. "This is a battlefield!"
Even though it seemed that his death was fast approaching, Konohamaru kept his eyes open, awaiting his end like a warrior.
Suddenly, a fist engulfed in flames impacted the demon's face, sending him backwards.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"
Konohamaru's eyes widened in surprise as he realized that someone had their back turned in front of him, indicating that he was the one who saved him from the demon.
"Hey kid, are you okay?" asked Natsu turning his head to look at the young ninja.
It was then that Konohamaru noticed the symbol tattooed on the fire dragon slayer's shoulder.
"That symbol... Are you a friend of Wendy's?" asked Konohamaru remembering that Wendy wore the same symbol.
"That's right and let me tell you, you were very brave to face that demon." said Natsu with a smile.
"Aye, sir. Not many are brave enough to face one." said Happy floating next to his human friend.
Suddenly, they both heard a groan and turned their gaze forward to see Belmastos get up.
"Well, at least I'm glad someone more interesting than that brat showed up." said Belmastos.
"Watch out, Natsu. That guy looks strong." said Happy.
"Yeah, but that'll make it more fun." said Natsu with a toothy grin.
"I see you're enthusiastic, but even if there are two of you, that won't change anything." said Belmastos.
"Count better, you idiot."
The next instant, Kiba, Akamaru and Shino arrived on the scene, standing next to the young ninja and the fire dragon slayer.
"We're not going to let the foreigners have all the fun, are we, Akamaru?" asked Kiba before Akamaru let out a bark.
"Konohamaru, you'd better leave. It's too dangerous for a young man like you." said Shino.
"No way, I plan to fight him to the end!" declared Konohamaru.
"Heh. I like this kid." said Natsu with a smile.
"He has a certain resemblance to you, Natsu." commented Happy.
"You think because there are four of you I'm at a disadvantage?" asked Belmastos before spreading his wings. "Clearly you are underestimating me." said Belmastos as the three ninjas and the mage prepared to fight.
Kakashi was going back and forth, killing any monster in sight.
"I sense more of those creatures around, but their numbers are slowly dropping. If we keep going like this..." started Kakashi before he sensed an incoming threat and turned around before jumping backwards, managing to dodge a diving kick.
Once he stood on the ground, he saw that his attacker was Harrqueens.
"Nice, you dodged it! Hihihi." said Harrqueens.
"So you're one of Death Hand's demons." said Kakashi.
"That's right, I'm Harrqueens. do you want to play for a while?" asked Harrqueens.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not for games." said Kakashi.
"Oh, but it's very simple. We fight and I kill you, don't you think it's fun?" asked Harrqueens with a lunatic smile.
"It will be for you." said Kakashi before he lunged to fight the demon.
However, every punch or kick he threw at her, she easily dodged it while maintaining her lunatic grin.
After seeing that nothing was turning out, Kakashi stopped his assault.
"Are you done already? Great. Then it's time for my turn." said Harrqueens before lunging towards the copycat ninja.
Harrqueens started throwing punches and kicks at the masked ninja, who managed to dodge and block them all, but there was one thing he quickly noticed and that was that she was fighting the same way he fought a moment ago.
"Are those my moves? How is it possible that she can mimic me just from seeing me once? Does she have something similar to my Sharingan?" asked Kakashi mentally as he continued to dodge and block the demon's attacks.
A while later, Harrqueens stopped her assault and jumped backwards.
"Hey, it's no fun if you don't get hit." said Harrqueens with a small pout.
"Sorry, but I was trained not to let myself get hit." said Kakashi.
"Oh, in that case, I just have to keep going until I hit you, don't I?" asked Harrqueens recovering her smile.
Just as Harrqueens was about to launch herself towards the ninja, a sword slashed into her path, forcing her to stop.
It was then that Erza landed on the spot, showing that she was the one who threw the sword.
"I appreciate you coming to help, but you should take care of the monsters while I take care of the demon." said Kakashi.
"As much as I agree with that, I can't do it. It's not a good idea to take on a demon alone unless you have enough skills." said Erza.
"I guess I can't argue anything against that logic." said Kakashi with a shrug.
"Great! Another one to play with! This is getting better by the minute! Hihihi." said Harrqueens clapping her hands and jumping up and down like a schoolgirl.
Erza summoned a sword in her hand with which she pointed it at the demon.
"Game over! Here it ends for you, demon!" said Erza.
"Tread carefully. It seems you have an ability that allows you to copy the movements of others." said Kakashi as he lifted his sash to reveal his Sharingan.
"Hihihi. I see you figured it out. Congratulations." said Harrqueens before pointing to her one eye. "My curse allows me to copy the movements of the one who sees my eye, as well as anticipate their movements, but enough chatter, let's play!" exclaimed Harrqueens with mad glee as the copycat ninja and the red-haired mage prepared to fight.
"Open, Gate of the Lion! Loki!" shouted Lucy as a light suddenly shone and as it faded a boy in a smart suit and glasses came into view.
"I will always come when you call me, my lady." said Loki elegantly.
"Star Dress! Leo Form!" shouted Lucy as her appearance changed completely. "Let's finish those monsters off, Loki."
"Of course. I don't like the look of them at all." said Loki before the two launched into battle.
"Regulus Impact!" shouted Loki covering his fist in light before striking a red demon, knocking it down in the process.
"Regulus Lucy Kick!" shouted Lucy covering her leg of light before kicking a giant centipede, knocking it down as well.
Suddenly, a gray golem approached them with the intention of crushing it, but before the two could react, they heard a battle cry and turned their head to the side to see Sakura leap straight at the golem's head and punching him so hard that she sent him flying into a collision with another gray golem, knocking them both down in the process.
Needless to say, Lucy was in shock at the pink-haired ninja's show of strength.
"Oh my god. I knew she was strong, but I didn't imagine she was this strong." thought Lucy.
Then, they heard a series of shrieks and looked up to see one gryphon attacking another until he sent him crashing to the ground.
After that, the victorious griffin landed on the ground and then, jerked his head as if he had come out of a dizzy state.
"Do they attack each other?" asked Loki in confusion.
"No." the mage and spirit turned their heads to the side to see Ino coming out of a corner and winking at them. "That was my doing."
Before the griffin could react, Hinata jumped in front of him with her Byakugan activated and began to strike him with her chakra-covered palms on various parts of the griffin's body.
By the time she was done, the griffin fell toppled to the ground.
Once those opponents were defeated, the two ninja girls, along with Ino who was hiding in a corner, approached the celestial mage.
"You girls were amazing." said Lucy.
"Thank you." said Hinata.
The next instant, Loki knelt down in front of the white eyed girl as he took her by the hand.
"Wow, a beautiful girl with a look that pierces your soul." said Loki before standing next to Sakura. "A girl with immeasurable strength. I like that." said Loki before putting his arm around Ino's shoulders. "And a blonde beauty like Lucy. This place is paradise. Maybe, when this is over, we could all go for a drink over there and..."
"Pervert!" shouted Sakura and Ino slapping the spirit on both cheeks, leaving them completely red and puffy.
"*Sigh* Forgive his behavior. He's actually a good person." said Lucy defending her spirit friend.
"I-It's okay." said Hinata feeling a little embarrassed by the spirit's compliment.
"Girls, you'd better get ready. I feel something coming." said Loki with a serious face as he turned his head back.
The four girls stood waiting for whatever it was that Loki sensed to come and that's when it turned the corner towards them.
"Is that... a teddy bear?" asked Sakura in confusion as, before them, stood Marbearous.
"Oh wonderful, I can feel so much love in the air, I'm so glad I came here!" said Marbearous dramatically.
"Can he speak?" asked Ino.
"No way that's a normal bear. It must be one of Death Hand's demons." said Lucy.
"That's right. I am Marbearous and I am here because your love has led me to you." said Marbearous.
"L-Love?" asked Hinata slightly blushing, as she was in love with someone.
"Yes. My curse allows me to feed on people's love and hate, since both feelings go hand in hand. So, give me your love. Feed me with it until you die." said Marbearous.
"I won't let you hurt these ladies!" declared Loki before lunging towards the demon.
"Loki, wait!" said Lucy trying to stop the spirit, but it was too late.
Loki covered his fist with light, ready to strike the demon, but then...
"Love Embrace!" cried Marbearous as he suddenly wrapped his arms around the spirit, enclosing him in a hug.
"What? What are you..." began Loki before he began to feel immense pain.
"Loki, what's wrong with you?!" asked Lucy.
"I-I don't know. I feel my strength waning." said Loki feeling weak at times.
"Go away before it's too late!" said Lucy.
"Yes. I'm sorry, Lucy." said Loki with a sad smile before fading away.
"Aw, why did he have to leave? I almost had all his love." said Marbearous.
"He's clearly not an easy opponent." said Ino.
"You're right, but we can't let him run wild." said Hinata.
"Yeah, we have to finish him off." said Sakura.
"That's right! Let hate and love wash over you all and hand him over to me!" said Marbearous as the girls prepared to fight.
"Sky Dragon's Roar!" shouted Wendy shooting a tornado out of her mouth that hit a red devil, knocking him down in the process.
"You shouldn't waste so much power." said Charle who was carrying Wendy through the air over the village.
"I know, but if we don't finish off those monsters, the village will be destroyed." said Wendy.
"You're right, but there has to be another way to..." said Charle.
"Wait." said Wendy stopping her friend exceed before she started sniffing the air.
"What is it, kiddo?" asked Charle.
"I recognize that smell. Charle, take me in that direction." said Wendy pointing in one direction.
Without questioning, Charle flew Wendy in the direction she was pointing.
Meanwhile, on the wall surrounding the village, stood Dunkino, who watched with a smile what his troops were doing.
"That's it. Don't hold back. Give your all for our goal." said Dunkino before noticing Wendy and Charle approaching him. "Wow, looks like I have a visitor." said Dunkino before Wendy and Charle landed to the side as he turned to face them.
"I knew that smell rang a bell. You were in those ruins." said Wendy.
"I was. In fact, I'd like to thank you. It's thanks to you that my companions and I made it to this world, though we were planning to go anyway." said Dunkino.
"So you knew there was a portal in those ruins, right?" asked Charle.
"Yes, we knew from the beginning. After all, our plan is to create a utopia where wishes can come true, but such a thing couldn't happen in our world with Zeref's existence, so we decided to go to another one." said Dunkino.
"Does this sound like utopia to you?!" asked Wendy pointing to the battle happening in the village. "Is killing innocents really the method to create it?"
"Child, a utopia is where people's wishes come true. If one wishes to kill innocents, who am I to stop him?"
"I won't let you do it! Sky Dragon's Roar!" shouted Wendy shooting out of her mouth a tornado directed towards the demon.
Suddenly, Dunkino raised his arm towards the tornado with an open palm and as the tornado reached him, it faded away until it disappeared completely.
"Has it... Has it destroyed the attack?" asked Charle very surprised by what she had just seen.
"Before we engage in combat, at least let me introduce myself properly. I am Dunkino, master of the dark guild, Death Hand." said Dunkino.
"T-The guild master?" asked Wendy completely in shock as she was facing the most powerful demon in the group.
"Wendy, we have to leave as soon as possible! We don't stand a chance against him!" exclaimed Charle knowing that they couldn't beat him on their own.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you leave." said Dunkino before pointing a black sparking finger at them. "Dusty Lightning!" shouted Dunkino as he shot black lightning from his finger.
Wendy and Charle were fast enough to dodge it, but the lightning struck a building and the moment it did, the building collapsed to nothing but dust.
Needless to say, the young dragon slayer and the exceed were shocked by it.
"Shocked? That's the power of my curse. It causes everything it touches to age into nothingness. Time is undoubtedly the greatest killer of all. It destroys everything, including magic." said Dunkino.
Wendy and Charle's eyes widened in horror as they could now see that there was no way to fight him if he had the ability to destroy any attack thrown at him.
"So..." began Dunkino drawing his sword from his back and raising it. "Shall we begin... Destroyer Slash!" shouted Dunkino sending a wave of black energy towards the two who were so shocked that they wouldn't be able to dodge the attack.
However, something quickly grabbed both of them and carried them away from the wall, landing on the ground.
Opening their eyes, Wendy and Charle discovered that their savior was Naruto who looked at them with a toothy grin.
"I made it in time, didn't I?" asked Naruto.
"Naruto!" exclaimed Wendy happily as she saw that her friend had saved her.
"You were a little late." said Charle.
"Hehe. Sorry, but I'm glad I saved you." said Naruto patting Wendy's head.
That's when Dunkino landed near them as the three of them stopped to face him.
"Wow. Looks like we got ourselves another selfie." said Dunkino without losing her smile.
"So you're the leader of that demon guild, are you?" asked Naruto.
"That's right. And you must be Naruto Uzumaki. Dokuzetsu has told me a lot about you." said Dunkino.
"Dokuzetsu?" asked Naruto mentally wondering if he meant Black Zetsu.
"Yes and he told me that you could be a nuisance in my plans, so it's a joy that you're here. It will make the task of eliminating you easier." said Dunkino pointing the sword at him.
"Like I'm going to let you do that!" said Naruto.
"Be careful, Naruto. His curse allows him to destroy what he touches, as well as any attack." said Wendy remembering the demon's ability.
"Don't worry, Wendy." began Naruto turning his head to give the sky dragon slayer a confident smile. "I'll think about..."
Suddenly, Dunkino quickly positioned himself in front of Naruto and touched him with him hand, but then, the image of Naruto and company began to fade away until it was revealed as a tree that disintegrated from the demon's touch, who was a bit confused by that before turning around to see his opponents safe and sound.
Needless to say, they were confused as well.
"You'll be an idiot."
It was then that Sasuke and Lapis arrived on the scene.
"Hadn't you been taught to keep your eye on your opponent?" asked Sasuke.
"Sasuke!" exclaimed Naruto surprised to see his friend.
"Lapis!" exclaimed Wendy surprised to see her friend.
"Hmm. I certainly have to save your ass again." said Lapis.
"An illusion, huh? I certainly didn't expect that. Let me guess, you're Sasuke Uchiha, right?" asked Dunkino.
"So what if I am?" asked Sasuke drawing his katana and activating his Sharingan.
"In that case, you'll save me a lot of time having to track you both down and kill you. Now then, can we get started at once?" asked Dunkino.
The two ninjas and the two young dragon slayers prepared to fight the most powerful enemy they had faced so far.
