I do not own Naruto or Highschool DxD
Kuroka slowly opened up her eyes as it was a little bit blurry, but she managed to remove the blurriness from her eyes as she looked up to see a ceiling fan spinning moderately fast. "Where am I?" She sat up and in the corner of her eye, she saw someone sitting beside her in a chair.
She looked over and her eyes widened instantly. Kuroka without any hesitation, she launched herself from the bed and she tried to punch him with all strength, but he raised one hand up and he caught her attack while still reading his book.
"I'm impressed, you're able to muster up this much power even after our fight last night," Madara said as he looked at her with his Sharingan.
Kuroka didn't want to mess around with him, so she ran to the door and she left the room just to reappear back in the same bed she awoke from. "What's going on? Why am I back here?"
Kuroka didn't worry too much on it, so she ran to the door again and left, but the same scenario happened again.
"Why are you trying to run if you can't escape?" Madara asked.
Kuroka didn't leave the bed this time and she looked at Madara, she was ready for anything. "What did you do to me? What type of magic are you using on me?" She asked with anger.
Madara raised a brow. "Magic? I'm not using any magic what so ever, you're in an illusion. The moment you looked into my eyes was the moment you were trapped in an infinite loop."
"Then release me from this loop!" She yelled.
"I'm not going to do that just yet, I need something from you and I plan to get it."
"If you're going to torture me or turn me to the Devil's to get a reward, then just kill me because I'm not going to wait and endure the pain or even live my entire life in a prison cell."
Madara was a bit surprised by her choice of words. "I'm not going to torture you or turn you in, I just want an explanation on who sent magicians to assassinate me. Once you have given me a logical answer, then you're free to go."
Kuroka didn't believe a single word he said, she can tell from the way he speaks and acts that he just wants to use her until he gets what he needs. "You're lying, I don't believe you one bit."
Madara closed his book and he set it on the small desk beside him. "I'm not a man who lies to achieve my goal in this world."
"That's what everyone says. Can I leave now because I'm sick and tired of listening to you?"
"Let me tell you something that I had to learn the hard way in life that has destroyed me. Only cowards lie to get what they want in life, but once they lie the lying continues to the point where until the person finds out that you were lying to them the whole time just to have everyone shun you. Do you know what happens to those type of people?"
Kuroka just stayed quiet. "They are either alone forever or betrayed by the people who are closest to them. I am not a man to lie, but I am a man who speaks the truth only."
"If I tell you who this person is, what will you do to them?" She asked as she looked directly into his eyes.
"There is nothing more to do than to kill them..."
Kuroka was surprised by what he just said. "Why though? Why would you want to do that?"
"They don't like the idea of a world of peace."
"World of peace?" Kuroka was honestly confused at this point.
"Yes, a world where no wars, hate, and even slavery exists. You Devil's are all enslaved the moment you were born, what is the point in living if your entire life is in control of another? I'm going to destroy that system and everything you people believe in." Madara said with a cold glare.
Kuroka was astonished by his words, she couldn't tell if he was lying or even telling the truth, but she can confirm one thing about him, she can see resolve within his eyes.
"There is no way that you can do that, removing the Devil system will be impossible, it will start a war with the Devil faction if you were to do that," Kuroka answered.
"If I have to kill the Devil Kings just to make a peaceful world, then I will do so. A world such as this, it deserves to be fixed." Madara said calmly.
"Why? Why are going to such lengths to save a broken world?" Kuroka asked, wanting to desperately know his intentions.
Madara stared at her before replying. "The moment you lived a life of suffering where your whole family perishes before you, your friend decides to cut all connections with you, and have the whole world view you as an enemy, then you will understand I am going to such lengths... My entire life is hell itself as this world is only an illusion that reflects all of my sins, I have killed thousands to achieve my goal, betrayed my only friend in the whole world and I haven't even achieved my goal in the very end. And in the end, my brother was killed because of war and hate, that is why I am doing all this."
Kuroka didn't expect to hear that as hearing his story caught her off guard greatly with the fact that he looks and sounds like he has lost everything in life, she couldn't dare to think about losing her sister.
Madara's expression slouched as he looked into her eyes. "Every time I look into your eyes, I can see that you're trying to protect someone. Living in such a world where you can't see the person who is dear to you is a world of endless suffering and pain that I plan on becoming the savior of this world." Madara said.
Kuroka honestly didn't know what to say to him after hearing how right he was when he said that she was trying to protect someone, of course, Vali's dream is to fight the Red Dragon Emperor and kill his grandfather, but hearing his goal is entirely impossible and insane. A man who looks and sounds like who has given up on life is trying to save a world that is far gone was entirely new to her. But nonetheless, she agreed to answer his question.
"What do you want to know?"
"Who is the person who sent magicians to assassinate me in my home? Once you give me a logical answer, then you're free to go."
"I'm not exactly sure on who it could be because there are multiple powerful beings in Khaos Brigade and the Hero Faction. If I were you, I would start looking for a man named Shalba Beelzebub, he will most likely be your suspect you that you are looking for as he holds no regards for any human life and hates the current leaders of the Underworld." Kuroka said.
Madara's eyes shifted back to his natural black eye color and the genjutsu that was placed over Kuroka fell. Madara stood up from his seat and headed towards the door. "You are free to leave now, but as I said before, I'm a man of my word and I am telling the truth only. You can go now." He said as he left his room.
Kuroka was a bit dumbfounded about him actually telling the truth. She got out of bed and she left the room to catch up to him. "WAIT! Were you being serious?"
Madara stopped in the middle of the hallway. "About what?"
"Are you really just going to let me go? What if I come back and try to kill you?"
Madara smirked. "I'm not a man to lie when I said you can leave if you gave me a decent and logical answer. Besides, you can try all you want on trying to kill me, but nothing you hold is capable of stopping me as you saw for yourself earlier that with a simple glance, I will be able to grasp your life into my hands without any effort at all. And tell your friend to stop interfering before I step in to resolve the situation." He said while leaving her.
Kuroka was starting to show some respect for the man since he is a man of his word and is probably telling the truth on becoming the savior of this world. She didn't want to stay for another second, so she made a magic circle and teleported back to HQ.
Madara reached the hotel lobby and everyone was there waiting for him. They all saw him and they quickly ran up to him.
"Did you kill her?"
"What did she say?"
"Where is she now?"
He was bombarded by questions and he simply didn't find the time to be annoyed by them. "I let her go, she gave me some valuable information on my mysterious assassin."
"Who is it?" Tiamat asked.
"Shalba Beelzebub, she said he could have done something like that."
Tiamat truly didn't like hearing that, neither did Penemue. "If he was the one who sent those magicians to kill you, then that's a big problem," Tiamat said.
"What do we do now? We can't just waltz into the Khaos Brigade base, we will be slaughtered in seconds." Raynare said.
"We are just going to go with our usual plan and wait until the leader summit to lay down everything on the table. The Devil's don't know about you dragon or even you fallen. But for now, you come with me Issei." Madara said as he turned around and headed towards the door.
"Where are we going?" He asked.
"We are going back to the Nine-Tailed Fox to train your body and mind."
"A-Are you being serious?" He asked with a surprised voice.
Issei could just tell that Madara had a cold expression right now, so he didn't bother asking again. "Alright then, lead the way then." He followed behind him.
Scene Break
Kuroka returned back to the Khaos Brigade headquarters and she was instantly greeted by her team. "Where were you? We searched everywhere for you, but we couldn't even find you at all." Arthur asked.
"Did Madara Uchiha torture you or even extract information out of you?" Bikou asked.
Kuroka walked towards the couch and she sat down. "No, he didn't even lay a finger on me, he just wanted information on someone who wanted him dead, but there was something completely different about him than all the men I have encountered that all lusted after my body or tried to take me under their wing." She said as she crossed her right leg over her left knee.
"What do you mean?" Vali asked as he entered the room.
"He is so determined to achieve his dream, he wants to remove the Devil system entirely and become the savior of this world. He didn't even inform the Devil King's about me or even torture me in the slightest, all he wanted was information that I provided to him as I was set free shortly after..."
Arthur was generally confused about Kuroka's words and Madara's actions. "Why would a man try and save this corrupt world since everything is far from gone?" Arthur asked himself.
"He saw right through me as well, he could tell I was protecting someone by only looking into my eyes as my body, life, and story was on display to him the way he looked at me that held no lustful intentions or any type of harmful intentions either. The way he spoke and acted was a bit weird to me, but he explained to me on how the Devil system is keeping me and my sister away from each other."
"That man's intellect is far greater than I give him credit for, he was able to stand against a Heavenly Dragon and survive, but also survive Cao Cao and his team," Vali said in a cautious voice.
Kuroka wasn't paying attention to Arthur's words as her mind shifted over on what Madara said to her, she couldn't forget his words about how he explained to her to that his life in this world is an illusion that reflects all of his sins. Also him telling her about his brother dying from war and hate. She was honestly starting to wonder about how he has lived after seeing someone dear to him die. When she looked into his eyes, the sadness in them was there, but he never did show it.
"Is Madara Uchiha going to be attending the leader summit?" Vali asked.
Kuroka was brought out of her thinking state. "I don't know, he just let me go and I left."
"I have an idea then, who was the person you said to him that possibly tried to assassinate him?" Vali asked.
"Shalba Beelzebub."
"Then this could work out in our favor. I want you to go back and tell Madara that I can give him the location of Shalba under one condition though. I want to have a one on one with him." Vali said.
Everyone in the room was shocked to hear that Vali wanted to fight Madara after what he did to them last night.
"You can't be serious? Why would you want to fight him?" She asked.
"I want to test him with the full power of the White Dragon and besides, I truly want to see if he is actually a God or not."
Kuroka didn't like the sound of going back to that hotel but at the same time, she truly wanted to understand him and get to know him better. "Why do I have to go back? Why can't it be like Arthur or even Bikou?" She said as she was always the one doing things for them.
"You out of all of us can probably speak with him without pushing his buttons." Vali answered.
She sighed and stood up from the couch. "I was just getting comfortable and you had to ruin it."
"Vali, how can you be so sure that he just won't kill her if she reappeared back to him? Last time I checked, we were brutally defeated by a man who single handily beat us." Arthur said.
"I recall that moment Arthur, but I'm trying to see if this man is as powerful the rumors say he is. I had a chance to fight the Red Dragon Emperor when we fought Madara, but I decided to fight him instead." Vali said.
"Nya, I will speak with him again, but I'm not too sure if he is going to like this idea of yours Vali, whenever I look into his eyes, I see so much hate for this world we live in. I think fighting you will probably be the end of you since he is trying to remove a world with hate and war." Kuroka said honestly.
"I don't care how you do it, I just want an answer from him." Vali left the room.
Kuroka sighed before she teleported back to the hotel room she was in. She saw that no one was here, so she went to the main lobby to see if he was there, but she was met with his little group.
"What exactly are you doing back here stray?" Kalawarner asked in a defensive tone.
"Kuroka, I wasn't expecting you to be so bold and return back here," Tiamat said.
Kuroka crossed her arms under her bust and she rolled her eyes. "Yea, yea, I'm here for Madara. Have you seen him around?"
"Why are you looking for him?" Tiamat asked as she stood beside her and an idea popped into her head. "Don't tell me that you also want to be loved by him as well?"
Kuroka quickly declined. "No, I don't even know where you got that idea from, but I came here to tell him something and that is all. Have you guys seen him lately?" She asked again.
"Indeed, he went back to the Nine-Tailed Fox to train Issei," Penemue said.
"But why would he want to go back there? He could have trained him here with a magic barrier protecting him." Kuroka asked
"I don't know either, but this is a first for all of us, seeing him train someone is something we never expected," Raynare announced.
"A pervert who only thinks about boobs and nothing else is going to be extremely hard to train if his mind is only focused on women chests. something tells me that Issei is going to take a ride to hell and return as a new person." Kalawarner said.
"What do you plan on telling him anyways?" Raynare asked.
"You see, the White Dragon Emperor wants to fight your leader in exchange for Shalba's position. He wants to see how powerful this man is when he is being serious against him." Kuroka answered.
"Once again, he is at the shrine if you want to speak with him," Penemue said.
Kuroka turned around and was about to leave, but she turned back around to ask one more question. "Has he done anything strange to you for you to join him, like being forced to sleep with him or do any of his bidding's?" She asked out of curiosity.
Kalawarner laughed at her sudden question. "No, no, not even in the slightest. He is like a solid brick wall, we actually make the moves on him to try and make him love us and have sex with us, but he doesn't feel ashamed or even embarrassed when we show him our tits or ass to him as he simply ignores us and carries on what he was doing. Not even touching us at all either as he has only been focused on other productive things than us." Kalawarner explained.
Kuroka lowered her head a bit. "Interesting, a man who keeps his words and even doesn't force anyone to satisfy his needs." She left the hotel and she made her way to the shrine.
"What was all that about?" Asia asked.
"I don't know, but I don't like the way how she asked that question," Tiamat said as she narrowed her eyes.
Scene Break
Madara and Issei were in the courtyard of the shrine, there was no one around and it was quiet. "Why are we training here? We could have done this back at the hotel." Issei asked.
Madara crossed his arms and he made some distance between the two of them. "Training at a shrine is an extremely good way to calm your mind and improve your focus."
"Alright then, what do you want me to do then?"
Madara made a small circle around himself. "I want you to try and hit me. If you land a single blow, you pass and we move on to your next training lesson. I won't use my eyes or my hands to block and I will not leave this circle either."
"This sounds way too easy, this feels like a stupid exercise than a training session," Issei complained.
"And that type of behavior is the reason you won't become stronger."
Issei didn't bother to speak, so he charged right at Madara and tried to give him a right hook, but Madara just turned his body and Issei missed. "Too slow brat."
Issei spun around and launched a left hook at him, but Madara spun around and kicked his fist away.
"I thought you said you won't block," Issei said as he held his hand.
"You clearly don't listen well either, I said I won't use my hands or eyes, I never said I won't use my feet."
Issei clenched his teeth and he ran at Madara with full speed and Issei tried to punch him again, but Madara simply turned his body and stuck out his foot and Issei tripped over it, landing face first in the ground.
"I understand now as to why you're so weak, you fight like a child. You're not thinking and you rush in blindly, that is how you die in battle." Madara explained to him.
Issei stood up and looked at Madara. "Then what do you want me to do then? I've tried everything and I couldn't even hit you once."
Madara's facial expression turned serious. "Sit down and close your eyes." He ordered.
Issei sat down and did as he was told. "Now let your breathing be steady and relaxed, focus on the one thing you truly desire in life and only focus on that, destroy all other thoughts as that simple thought is the big picture," Madara said as he was walking around Issei slowly.
Issei concentrated and his mouth was drooling a bit. Madara quickly kicked Issei's back and he spat out blood from the intense kick. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO!?" Issei yelled as more blood came out of his mouth.
"Your thoughts were clouded by women's chest and that is why you fail to grow stronger. If you can only think about women's chest throughout this training session, then you're in for a far worse beating of your life."
Issei repositioned himself and he closed his eyes again and focused on the one thing he truly desires. Issei saw a bright light in front of him and he reached for it and he quickly opened up his eyes.
Madara smiled and he backed away from him. "I can see you found what you're looking for, but for now, you drain all of your energy in one magic attack and that's not enough to survive a fight."
Issei clenched his fist. "How am I suppose to gain more energy if I can't even fight properly?"
"You see, everyone thinks with there fists and feet, no one really truly thinks of there opponents next move. You fight like a child and I plan on fixing that, now hit me." He ordered again.
Issei nodded and charged right at him and kept his sights on his feet since that is his only way of fighting for this training session. He launched a punch right at him and Madara moved his head and he tried to kick him in the head, but Issei quickly brought up his arm to block it as he managed to do it that made Madara impressed a little to see him actually block an attack of his.
Issei was impressed that he actually blocked an attack from him, but he quickly regretted losing focus as Madara used his free leg and kicked him in the side of the head.
Issei blacked out and fell to the floor unconscious.
"It seems like your training with the boy isn't progressing anywhere," Yasaka said as she entered the courtyard.
Madara looked down at Issei's unconscious body with disappointment as he was nonchalant about the whole situation. "This is only the second person I ever trained in my entire lifetime. This fool is only thinking about cleavages and he is easily distracted. He can't even land a single hit on me and I'm not using my hands or eyes." Madara said a bit annoyingly.
Yasaka giggled at him. "You should probably focus on teaching him how to fight, then maybe, he will be able to land a blow on you." She said.
Madara was standing over Issei's unconscious body and his eyes were still looking down upon him. "Teaching him to fight is what I'm trying to do, but his mind is too easily distracted."
"Why are you trying to train his mind? Training his body and spirit will make him grow more powerful."
"That is what many people believe when they train themselves, but the mind is an entire new playing field. If you are only focused on the battle and nothing else, then your body will move like water and your instincts will help you along the way. Not only does it help with that, it helps you progress on your skills and many other abilities you hold." Madara explained.
"I see, once you master your mind, you master the art of focus."
Madara smirked. "Once you do that, even a child can fight a trained ninja."
"He is only still a teenager and that's where his mind drifts off to," Yasaka tried to reason with him.
Kuroka made it to the top of the shrine and she saw Yasaka and Madara standing beside each other with Issei's body on the floor. Madara looked up and saw the woman he let go.
"Kuroka, what are you doing here? You are not allowed to be here after what you did. You are a stray and you joined up with Khaos Brigade." Yasaka's facial expression turned serious.
"I'm going to leave, but I'm only here to deliver a message to you Uchiha."
Madara stayed quiet and he waited for her to continue. "The White Dragon Emperor wants to fight you on a one on one and if you win, he will tell you where Shalba is."
This caught his attention as a fight and the location on the man who possibly was the one who tried to assassinate him was killing two birds with one stone for him. "Very well, but on two conditions."
"Name it."
"Make it me and the dragon against all of you. And the second condition I want, I want the weapon known as the True Longinus." Madara said with a smile.
Kuroka didn't expect to hear that, but she agreed to his terms and she contacted Vali and explained to him the conditions he said about.
"And when I mean all, I even meant that man who is holding the spear who destroyed my Susano'o."
Kuroka didn't care about that as a very intriguing question popped into her head as she wanted to ask him. "I have to ask you, do you have anyone you lo-" Vali interrupted her as he excepted the conditions.
Kuroka sighed after a long day, she made a magic circle and was about to leave, but she saw something coming towards her and she caught a kunai that was centimeters away from her eye.
She lowered the knife and looked at Madara. "Are you trying to kill me or something? I thought I could trust you, but it seems like you were also lying about letting me go." She said.
"You are misinterpreting it, meet me there in two weeks time. I have something for you." He said.
Kuroka saw a note attached to the knife and she opened up the small note and saw coordinates. "Why? What do you have that's so important that you have to show me in two weeks time?"
Madara turned around and walked away. "You can keep the knife," Madara said. Kuroka was about to run out of the magic circle, but she was teleported away before she could do that.
"What did you want to give to her?"
Madara gave a small smile. "I guess you can say that I'm returning my thanks to her as she gave me a solution to finding the man I'm looking for." He said as he walked towards the staircase to return back to the hotel.
"What do you mean by that? What exactly are you planning?"
"There are people who want to try and destroy the idea of peace and this man is one of them, how can you live and fight at the same time? Such things as that will truly never work. Talking about peace whilst spilling blood, it's something only humans can do," Madara said as he started to walk down the stairs.
"Wait?! What about the boy?" Yasaka asked.
"Let him stay there for the night, he is going to need to train his mind on his own before I teach him anything."
Yasaka sighed and she picked up Issei and brought him inside to treat his wounds.
Madara returned back to the hotel and he was greeted by his followers. "Did he learn anything, my Lord?" Raynare asked.
"No, his head is elsewhere."
"That pervert is going to take years before making any type of progress," Kalawarner stated.
"Do you have anything else to say, Lord Madara?" Tiamat asked.
Madara sat down on one of the couches in the lounge and everyone else did the same. "Yes, the White Dragon Emperor wants to fight me and I agreed, it's going to be me and you dragon against everyone who is allied with him."
Tiamat brought a hand to her face and she shook her head slowly.
"This should be interesting, fighting both the White Dragon and the True Longinus. You really are signing a death wish, you must be insane if you actually think you can defeat them at the same time." Penemue said as she crossed her leg over her knee.
"Sounds like it's going to be a bloodbath," Freed commented.
"If someone dies, it would be entirely there fault. Besides, we will gain the strongest weapon in existence and know Shalba's location." Madara turned his head slightly to the left.
"What?! The True Longinus?! Obtaining that would mean-"
"Controlling the three factions with fear." Freed finished for Kalawarner.
"That's true, we have the Red Dragon Emperor, Holy Swords, and one of the Dragon Kings. If we were to gain the True Longinus, we will be the strongest and most feared force in the world." Raynare stated.
Madara chuckled a little. "It will be another step closer to my goal, a world of absolute tranquility."
"You may be right, but the Devil's are too greedy and mischievous. They are all for peace but trying to get them to follow you is like trying to get a child to listen." Penemue said.
"If the Devil's won't agree with my terms, then I will have to use force to make them understand who is control," Madara said calmly and deadly.
"How will this all work out? How will you have the world follow you?" Asia asked.
"I will show them all my superior power and give them a reason to live and make this broken world a better one. Once that happens, all of you will go and destroy the remaining evil that is left in this world as I bring everyone together and show everyone what true peace is like."
"That sounds like a dictatorship than tranquility," Penemue said.
"If I have the world trust and believe in me, then I have no reason to rule a world. My only goal is peace and nothing else. I will remove the Devil system, I will kill all those who try and ruin the idea of peace, and I will make sure to send those into an eternal hell to those who try and rule the entire world for personal gain."
Everyone couldn't really think of a way to counter his arguments. They all knew deep down that this world is plagued with darkness and hate, but they all could see a small glimpse of light in this world.
They could see the light and that light is Madara Uchiha, he was the center and answer to this world and everyone can see it in him. He is the one who will save this world from its corruption and slavery.
All of the girls never held so much respect and love for a single man. They all felt calm as they didn't need to worry about the three factions or even Khaos Brigade going after them or even forcing them to side with one group in particular.
Madara's entire group couldn't understand how one man is so determined to fix a world such as this and so good with his words.
"What should we do now?" Tiamat asked.
Madara stood up from his seat and he faced the hotel doors. "We go and kill Shalba Beelzebub."
"How are we gonna do that if we don't know where he is?" Raynare asked.
Madara started to walk towards the hotel doors and he had his arms crossed. "That is why I'm going to show all of those fools the true power of the Uchiha. Come with me Tiamat, we are going to get the information on my mysterious assassin."
Tiamat was surprised to hear him call her by her real name. "As you wish, my Lord."
