Review Response:

Redlox2: Thank you, I know, the scene with Ophis and Naruto is emotional, and it shows that she knows she fucked up. Choosing her desire to have her home back made her ignore her family for so long. Hopefully, she will either drop the desire and stay with Naruto and Yasaka, or selfishly keep fighting.

Habu2010: I am so confused. I… can't make heads or tails.

SolSparda369: Yeah, Naruto isn't going back to Konoha. It is just a passing thought that won't mean anything.

Thor94: Yeah, Ophis is a big idiot and chose fighting instead of just sharing, which is caring.

Guest: Thank you.

Rosaruocunan16: Thank you, I know, Ophis squeaking when her ribs break is funny, thank you TFS. Thank you, the fight was not that hard to write, since I used part of the old story.

Bednarczykmiki: Else World is from DC, it's a type of comic format. Inverted World, self-explanatory. Negative World, created, think Mr. Negative from Spiderman, so the world is black, white, and various shades of grays and blacks. World of Thought/Imagination, I made them up.

NaruCrazy: Hm, I am not sure, because the Dream Powers I read up on are mostly just connecting and communicating through dreams.

Uday Sra: Thank you.

Temsen: I agree whole heartedly. And Naruto fights because Ophis was hurt, but he had hoped to talk to Great Red into leaving, but the dragon refused so words were not going to work, so he had to use his fists.

DanDrake: I don't know how to respond to this without sounding condescending or like an asshole, so this is just me saying what comes to my mind in a soft, confused tone. *Ahem, fixes clothes, dusts off shoulders* Ophis's power isn't infinite, as 1/10 was taken and used to create Lilith, her clone/daughter. Great Red's dream powers only seem to be able to connect to dreams and communicate through dreams, I might be wrong but from the research I did, that is how it seems to be used. Naruto had sealed much of Great Red's power with Adamantine Sealing Chains, and only absorbed what he needed, knowing to much would kill him, because he employed that kind of tactic against Pain. Again, I am not sure about the Dream powers of Great Red, but I do not see Naruto having much problem power wise as he is technically a combined version of Hagoromo and Kaguya. He has, in this story at least, both halves of Hagoromo's chakra and the chakra of the FULLY powered Tailed beasts so he has MASSIVE amounts of power. Please don't take this as me trying to argue or start something, I just want to explain where I am coming from. Thank you for the review and being honest.

Al's Grey Ghost: Wassup, been a while. Yeah, that moment will be tense. Naruto, invincible, or killable.

Neko Twins Kagamine: Thank you, please enjoy this chapter.

Fenixrojo36: Thank you for the follow. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 60: Two Birds, One Blood Fist

Underworld…

"It has been a month since the Sage has gone missing!" Blamuro shouted at his master. "This is the opportune time to have me attack Kyoto to fight their leader!"

His long brown hair tied in a low pony tail, wearing an old Victorian vest with gold trim, his long sleeve white shirt underneath with a black tie.

He wore knee high boots with his gray pants tucked into them.

Blamuro's master scoffed as he wiped his forehead, his silver/gray hair smeared with grease from his forearm.

"If you want to massacre, go ahead, just don't expose me," the Master told his Pawn, who smirked. "Because I don't need the attention, especially with my sister, brother-in-law, and the rest of the Satan's being frantic about the fight in the dimensional gap where the Sage and Great Red are fighting."

"Understood, Master Euclid." Blamuro said with a bow, smirking widely as he turned away to make his leave.

'Such a barbarian, but he was easily manipulated.' Euclid Lucifuge thought as he returned to his work.

Two Days Later, Kyoto…

Yasaka was resting.

Laying across Harribel's lap as Akasha's head was on Yasaka's stomach, the trio sweating in the summer heat.

"God, why weren't you born with the ability to alter weather or something like Naruto…" Harribel groaned as she waved a fan, spreading cool-ish air across her sweaty body, Samehada nearby grumbling.

"Because fuck you…" Yasaka weakly retorted.

"It's bad as is, don't get excited and make it worse…" Akasha groaned as she loosened her yukata, having decided to wear something light over her Wallachian clothing… which would take time to put on and take off.

The trio groaned in the heat, their sweat stink wafting through out the small area as they looked into Tamamo's garden.

Yasaka's ears twitched violently before she shot up, looking toward the South-East.

"Someone is here!" She shouted urgently.

Border…

Blamuro held a smile as he held one of the border guards by the throat, feeling the adrenaline rush…

"It's not enough." He grunted as he crushed the person's throat, lackadaisically tossing them aside as he started to enter the lane of Torii Gates that were the entrance to Kyoto.

Not hiding his presence, Blamuro strolled through the gates, looking around.

"Such lovely architecture, I might ask Master to add some to my home after this." Blamuro mumbled enthusiastically.

"Blamuro," Ddraig grumbled from within his host, a green orb appearing on Blamuro's left hand. "You should not be so cocky, the yokai have had exceptional training, especially the Empress of Kyoto, who is the daughter of the Sage of Creation and Destruction and was trained by him."

"You may be right, but that won't stop me from having fun with my battle." Blamuro replied to his only comrade as he stretched his arms and prepared to fight as he walked.

"You should turn back."

Blamuro turned and saw Ophis.

She was heavily bandaged, and she had short hair currently, wearing a yukata and had a crutch.

"Hm, and what makes you say I should leave? I am on a mission." Blamuro boasted to Ophis, not knowing who she was, but Ddraig did, and wisely stayed quiet.

Ophis chuckled as she turned.

"Go ahead if you want, but know the people here are not kind toward strangers." She said with a lazy yawn.

'What a weird child.' Blamuro thought as he continued walking, taking notice that the Torii Gates were replaced with statues.

Tanuki.

Nekomata.

Turtle.

Monkey.

Horse.

Slug.

Kabutomushi.

Ox.

Kitsune.

"Interesting statues…" Blamuro said with interest as he looked at the Kitsune statue, taking in the craftsmanship. "Maybe I can take these…"

"You won't take these sacred statues," a voice announced as the owner landed several feet behind Blamuro. "Red Dragon Emperor."

Standing straight up, Blamuro slowly turned and his smile became full of delight and childish glee.

"So, that little White Dragon from five years ago…" Blamuro cooed as he addressed his 'rival'. "Is now an adult, all grown up~."

"Leave, Red Dragon!" Lance demanded, ignoring the attempt at small talk.

Blamuro frowned.

"Well, seems the only thing that has changed about you was the fact you have a stick up your ass." Blamuro grumbled. "Last time we met, you eagerly took the chance to attack and talk."

"I was stupid back then," Lance told Blamuro, the two of them staring each other down, taking several steps in a half circle. "But now I have a mentor who taught me hot headedness is a fast way to die."

Lance felt his stomach frothing in nerves, so intense his heartbeat pulsed in his bowels and balls as he stared the man who nearly killed him all those years ago stare back.

Like the Abyss, when you stare into it, it stares back.

"When Death comes for you," Blamuro stated as his body started to glow red, with Lance following suit as his body started to glow white. "You will only be able to smile back."

The light broke from both men, revealing their Scale Mail Balance Breakers.

Red armor with green gems and orange highlights on Blamuro.

White armor with blue gems and black and yellow highlights on Lance, though his gauntlets had a slightly altered design, looking more like dragonic skulls. His armor's wings blowing with a soft blue.

The sounds of leaves were the only sound either of them heard, their helmeted eyes never breaking their stare.

A single leaf fell between them.

Both men lunged, Blamuro's wings expanding from his back, closing the distance at a greater speed.

Both slammed their arms against each other, sparks flying as they pressed against each other.

"Hm… you have gotten stronger since last, but I did too." Blamuro boasted as he shifted his angle, pushing Lance's feet into the ground, pushing him back, creating deep grooves into the ground.

Lance smirked within his helmet as he shifted his arm against Blamuro's, using his other hand to grab Blamuro's wrist, and then pivoted on his foot, using Blamuro's forward momentum to slam the armored adversary into the ground.

The ground cratered under the force, Blamuro gasping in surprise and pain as he saw the sky.

Lance pulled back his fist, filling it with magic before bringing it down toward Blamuro's chest.

"Promotion: Rook!" Blamuro shouted as he predicted if Lance's attack connected, his armor could be heavily damaged.

Lance's hand stung as the armor on his knuckled dented, folding over itself as he hit the Red Dragon's chest plate.

Blamuro leg swiped Lance, making him fall.

"Knight."

Blamuro's movements seemed to blur as Lance hit the ground.

One moment he was on the ground, looking to the sky, next he was on his feet, leg pulled back to kick Lance.

Lance lifted his arm up, index finger pointed at Blamuro's head as magic gathered into a small sphere at the tip of Lance's finger.

"SPIRAL DRAGON BULLET!" Lance shouted as he fired his attack.

The bullet of magic shot from his finger fast enough to eclipse Blamuro's speed, breaking through his Scale Mail, the left hip to the chest plate destroyed.

"Damn…" Lance gasped as he used a fraction of his magic. 'For an unrefined attempt, that was strong enough to break the armor.'

Lance couldn't celebrate long as he got up, witnessing Blamuro stagger as he used magic to restore his Balance Breaker.

"You have gotten good enough to break my armor." Blamuro stated as he flourished his left arm, gripping his hand as he showed the back of it to Lance. "So, I will go another step into my reserves."

"Boost!"

Blamuro's power, physical ability, and agility doubled, closing the distance in an instant, slamming his arm into Lance's head.

"Divide!"

One half of Blamuro's magic was ripped from him and absorbed into Lance, which allowed him to breathe a bit easier now his magic was restored, but concerned.

'This power doesn't feel like it did before,' He thought as he countered with a knee to Blamuro's stomach. 'It feels darker… eviler than before…'

"It must be that power that increased his durability and then his speed." Albion told his host as he kept his host's armor from breaker by a counter kick to the side from Blamuro. "Must mean someone tinkered with him and gave him a new way to power up without Boosting."

Blamuro laughed as he took another hit, this time to the head, cracking off one of the orange horns.

"Now this is fun!" he replied as he caught Lance's leg, raising his arm. "Keep entertaining me!"

Instead of breaking Lance's leg, like intended, Blamuro evaded a spin kick from Lance.

"What did you do?" Lance demanded as he assumed a bastardized version of Naruto's Frog Kata, which he had learned from observing his mentor. "You are powering up differently than normal!"

"Huh, you noticed that?" Blamuro chuckled as they gasped for air. "Well, let's just say that when driven to madness, desperate men pray to the devil instead of God."

Lance gasped.

"DeviGWAAAAG!" Lance gasped when Blamuro elbowed him in the jaw.

"OF COURSE," Blamuro laughed as he grabbed Lance's head, smashing his forehead into Lance's, further cracking their helmets. "WE DEVILS HAVE ABILITIES FAR UNKNOWN FROM ALL OTHERS! AND IT IS ALL THANKS TO THE EVIL PIECE SYSTEM!"

He tossed Lance through several trees, speeding through the forest ground quickly before Boosting twice over.

"Promotion: Bishop!" Blamuro shouted as he charged his magic into his palm.

He struck Lance in the spine.

"RED DRAGON PULSE!" Blamuro shouted, blasting a condensed magic sound wave into Lance's body.

Lance spasmed as he fell, rotating enough to land on his face, stumbling to get up.

Blamuro kicked Lance's head, violently jerking to the side, hearing an audible crack.

"Damn, your Dividing is annoying…" Blamuro stated as he had noticed his magic had indeed dropped from every moment of contact.

"Yeah, your magic is gross…" Lance spat out as he got up. 'Like the Spiral Dragon Bullet… I am not use to using this… but it is my hidden ace… no… I should wait a bit longer, wait until he tires himself out more…'

"There he is!"

"The intruder!"

"KILL HIM!"

Blamuro and Lance turned their focus to the new arrivals.

Yokai soldiers.

"Annoying pests." Blamuro grumbled as he gave them his attention.

Lance watched as Blamuro slashed on of their throats, before shattering the skull of another with ease.

Lance growled as he got on all fours.

Clenching his fist, Lance's wings glowed as he took off from the ground, slamming into Blamuro, and grabbing him.

"Divide!"

Lance lifted Blamuro into the air, far away from the yokai.

"You think taking me in the air will frighten or kill me?" Blamuro shouted as he hit Lance's back.

"No…" Lance winced in pain. "But to use it as an opportunity…"

Lance pushed into a thick cloud, with Blamuro appearing alone from the other side.

Summoning his wings, Blamuro balanced himself.

'I am not really use to aerial combat, but it won't matter…' He thought as he tried to find Lance.

Lance appeared behind Blamuro, kneeing him in the spine as he grabbed Blamuro's wings.

"YOU BASTARD!" Blamuro shouted as he tried to get out of Lance's grasp, but unable to.

"NOW EAT DIRT YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" Lance shouted back as he Divided Blamuro's power, his wings glowing to disperse the excessive amount of magic safely out of Lance's system while he flew downward toward the earth, intending on killing Blamuro.

"PROMOTION: QUEEN!" Blamuro shouted as he tried to spin to shake Lance, but he could not break Lance's grip. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Lance released Blamuro last second before the man's head connected with a giant rock, his body crumpling to the ground as chunks of his armor and the gems cracked and splintered off as he cratered the ground a second time.

"Damn…" Lance gasped in exhaustion from the constant decrease and increase of his magic. "He was not… as difficult… as I…"

Blamuro got up, growling as his eyes glowed a brilliant green.

"I AM ONE HUNDRED AND TEN PERCENT DONE!" he shouted, his magic shooting from his body into several green orbs.

"I, who am about to awaken, Am the Heavenly Dragon who has stolen the principles of domination from God," Blamuro shouted as his broken Scale Mail healed itself and started to bubble with magic, warping and expanding. "I laugh at the "infinite", and I grieve at the "dream", I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination…"

"FUCK, THIS IS WHAT I DID!" Lance shouted as he realized what Blamuro was attempting, channeling magic into his finger. "SPIRAL DRAGON BULLET!"

"And I shall sink you…" Blamuro stated as he finished transforming, smoke and debris hanging in the air as he gave off a final dragonic roar as he took Lance's Dragon Bullet without resistance and without a scratch. "To the depths of the crimson purgatory. JUGGERNAUT DRIVE!"

"Shit…." Lance gasped as he stood before the dragon sized attacker.

The Scale Mail armor, which is normally humanoid, now looked like Ddraig before he had been turned into a Sacred Gear, but made of armor and green gems.

"I AM GOING TO TURN THIS LAND INTO A WASTELAND!" Blamuro shouted as he raised his arm and swiped at Lance.

Lance jumped forward, rolling across the ground, being under Blamuro.

'I have to use it now!' He thought as he raised his arm.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN KYOTO!"

"Huh?"

Blamuro was sent flying through the air, spinning several times before he hit the ground, skidding dozens of feet, destroying nearly a hundred trees as Zest landed on the ground a few feet from Lance.

"YOU!" Zest shouted as she pointed toward Lance. "EXPLAIN! QUICK VERSION!"

"Rival, Red Dragon, wants to kill me." Lance said in the demanded quick explanation.

"Okay, good for me." Zest said as she cracked her knuckles. "This bastard will be killed by us."

"Psh…" Lance scoffed, sarcastically rolling his eyes to his rabbit sibling student. "I didn't need your help…"

"Well, from where…"

"But thank you." Lance interrupted with a chuckle.

Zest blinked.

Usually, this would be where they would bicker, but she smirked and looked back toward the recovering Blamuro.

"Well, I accept your thanks and a sundae from Nekoya this weekend."

Lance laughed.

"Fine." He said as he took off. "I have a plan, so follow…"

"On it." Zest said as she knew what he needed.

Buy him time.

Following Lance, Zest stopped twenty meters away from the recovered Blamuro, channeling chakra as she made the Tiger seal.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Caterwaul!" Zest stated as she expelled several small Dragon Head shaped flame bullets from her mouth.

Blamuro was exhausted.

His body felt like it was on fire, especially the parts that were struck by Zest's attack, which drew his attention.

He could feel his heart beat speeding up to a dangerous degree as he roared at her.

His sanity and life force draining with every second, feeling what could be described as white-hot metal skewers slowly impaling his brain as he charged his magic into the center gem on his chest, which opened up to reveal said gem.

"LONGINUS SMASHER!" Ddraig shouted as Blamuro blasted a green magic laser from his chest plate.

Zest Substituted herself with a log, her right arm being singed from the speed of the attack grazing her as she made her escape.

'Fuck, this hurt…' She thought in pain as the skin peeled off painfully, exposing her nerves to the air.

The attack ended, the chest plate on Blamuro's chest closing, making it gasp exaggeratedly.

"ZEST!" Lance shouted in concern, drawing Blamuro's attention.

"YOU IDIOT!" Zest shouted as she substituted herself with Lance, bracing herself with as best she could as she tanked Blamuro's swipe.

Zest gasped in pain as her left arm had a gash deep enough to gush blood.

"NO!" Lance shouted, growling as he felt a dark sensation crawl up his spine.

A familiar sensation he hasn't felt in a long while.

A feeling… no a thought crossed his mind as he prepared his strategy.

Use his Juggernaut Drive.

Zest rolled on the ground, evading the sloppy attacks of Blamuro.

'Pain…' She thought as she rolled over her injuries.

She gasped as she forced herself to her feet, jumping high into the air making the hand signs of Snake → Ram → Dog → Rat → Snake → Tiger.

"Earth Style: Stone Fist Jutsu!" Zest shouted as she made rocks form on her right arm.

Rearing her arm back, Zest smashed it into Blamuro's head, sending him off balance.

"I'M READY!" Lance shouted toward Zest.

Her Stone Fist broken, Zest jumped away from Blamuro as he staggered.

"DO IT!"

Blamuro roared as he raised his fist to kill the distracted and injured Zest.

He thrust his arm forward, only to feel heavy amounts of resistance and pull back.

"Thread Divide!"

"WHAT!" Blamuro shouted in disbelief as he saw two very thin strings of magic and two hooks sunk into his arm, Dividing his magic and sending it to Lance, who again had to release the excess amounts through his wings. "THAT… HOW CAN YOU HOLD ME BACK!"

Lance couldn't help but be cocky.

"This addition to my SG, Thread Divide, was created by the Great Sage, so of course it is strong!" He replied as he manipulated the hooks to sink further into Blamuro's arm. "And I could also pick out your heart and organs! And fuck up your arteries! ACTUALLY, THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA!"

Blamuro's eyes widened in realization.

It was checkmate.

Or was it.

Survival instincts kicked in, and the thoughts of hundreds of different users of the Boosted Gear bore into Blamuro's mind.

Instead of pulling against Lance, Blamuro spread his giant wings and flew past Lance, breaking his footing.

'I win!' Blamuro thought as he struck Lance into the ground with his tail via a spin.

Lance's armor fragmented upon impact, his mind hazy, quickly trying to regain semblance of regular thought.

"You lose!" Blamuro shouted as he dive-bombed toward Lance's barely conscious body.

Zest watched, time seemingly slowing as she took off toward Lance.

'I won't make it!' she thought in fear, visualizing Lance's dead body, feeling a sense of dread.

'I can't believe I made you my apprentice, the thought of teaching you sage mode and my techniques…' she heard a voice that was Naruto's in her head. 'I am disappointed you could not save your sibling student.'

'I don't have sage mode, nor do I know the completed Rasengan…' Zest thought fearfully as her ears only heart her heart beat, blood splashing from her burns and cuts. 'I… what can I do…'

A great pressure made itself known.

She could feel an old, ancient, and wise presence behind her, but she did not take time to look, her focus on saving Lance, where it should be.

This presence was familiar, so she easily ignored it.

But it didn't vanish, nor did it seem angry.

However, it seemed to mold itself, move, and breathe the same way she did.

Chakra exploded from Zest's injuries, corrosive and bubbling as it covered Zest, cloaking her and giving her a long tail.

What felt like an instant, Zest grabbed Lance as time seemingly returned to normal.

"Lance!"

"Wake!" he stupidly shouted, making Zest breathe a sigh of relief.

"Good, you're safe." She said as she jumped away, her enhanced legs sending them above the trees with little effort, where it would normally take 1/20 of her chakra to make a jump that big.

"Line…" Lance mumbled as his eyes foggily opened and closed as he produced a Dividing Thread.

"How much range?" Zest asked, remembering Lance didn't have much training and the magic required to make it long could be costly.

"…" Lance didn't reply as he lulled in consciousness again.

"Such a useless idiot as usual!" Zest grumbled.

"The last of our magic is in it, so you have roughly two hundred feet worth of line." Albion told Zest as she took the Thread.

"Thanks…" Zest said as she started to descend toward Blamuro, who was viciously flying toward them.

"DODGE!" Lance shouted as he pushed Zest to move, making her miss her chance to attack, but in the random movement, the hook of the Dividing Thread hooked into Blamuro's mouth, Dividing and adding the magic to Lance.

"Uh… my head…" He grumbled as his mind started to clear, thanks to Blamuro's magic soothing his brain.

"Finally, now help me, dumbass!" Zest shouted as she released Lance, who took flight immediately. "Wrap the bastard up in the wire and then we can kill the bastard!"

"YOU GOT IT!" Lance shouted as he kept his thread loose as he moved around Blamuro, planning on staying in his blind spots.

"Where are you, you little bastards!" Blamuro shouted as Zest grabbed onto his tail, her chakra cloak giving her extra power in her grasp.

"Right here you scaly mother fucker!" She shouted angrily, sparking her chakra into an intense heated lava.

Blamuro flailed in pain, flying haphazardly to get Zest to let go, all the while not seeing Lance wrap him in his thread, nor did he feel his magic drain.

"OKAY, that's all I can do!" Lance shouted as his armor glowed with magic, his wings expelling excess for the third time.

"CURSE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!" Blamuro screamed in exhaustion as he started to lose altitude faster, heading head first toward the ground outside of Kyoto, close to the beach.

Lance braced himself as Zest let go, falling through the air dozens of feet before extending her chakra in the shape of an arm to grab onto a nearby cliff, slowing her descent.

Unable to fly anymore, Blamuro crashed, chunks of his armor flying everywhere as he smashed and rolled around the ground, finally stopping with his tail in the water.

"Is it over?" Zest asked as she arrived, still coated in Lava chakra, breathing heavier due to inexperience.

"I… hope…" Lance gasped before he collapsed to his knee, his Thread Dividing vanishing as he disengaged his helmet, vomit hitting the ground. "Damn… motion sickness…"

"Gross, but I don't think it is over since…" Zest grabbed Lance and substituted with a boulder as Blamuro's tail slammed into the area they were just standing.

"Damn, what will kill this bastard!" Lance asked as he rematerialized his helmet.

The two of them were in a nearby cove, covered by rocks keeping them from Blamuro's view.

"Wait…" Zest said as she looked from their hiding spot, keeping Lance from moving. "I have an idea."

"What?"

Meanwhile…

Harribel arrived on the scene with a legion of soldiers from Greece, Norse, and Christian pantheons, along with their own soldiers.

"Alright, our enemy is a Sacred gear user of the Boosted Gear!" Harribel shouted as she hefted Samehada from her back, Blamuro reaching the forested area, having moved from the beach. "Brace yourselves!"

"NO, GET BACK!"

Harribel turned and saw Lance carrying Zest as they flew toward Blamuro.

Blamuro, having heard Zest, roared, the sound waves causing deafness and bleeding from the ears for many weaker individuals.

"FUCKING DIE ALREADY, BY MY DRAGON FLAMES!" Blamuro shouted as he spewed flames from his mouth.

Lance evaded.

"We won't be able to charge while he attacks!" Lance shouted in concern. "We need…"

"We can't put anymore distance between us, we have to do it here!" Zest told him.

"Fine, but if we die, I'm going to kill you!" Lance snapped as he lowered himself to the ground.

Not even questioning, nor thinking, what he just said, Zest's feet touched the ground and Lance stood beside her.

"You decided hiding was useless? You chose to let me kill you? Fine by me!" Blamuro shouted as he prepared his strongest attack, the Longinus Smasher.

Zest held out her hands as Lance charged magic into his finger.

Touching his hand, Zest closed her eyes and found the wavelength of Lance's magic, and attuned her chakra to it before transferring it into Lance's body, empowering his magic with chakra.

'Now, the hard part…' Zest though in worry.

She moved her hand to the small bullet of magic on Lance's finger.

With her opposite hand, Zest added chakra to her hand and started to spin it, the core being Lance's Spiral Dragon Bullet, enhanced with chakra.

"DIE, LONGINUS SMASHER!"

Blamuro shot another blast from his chest, the green magic laser heading straight toward the duo.

"We're to late!" Lance shouted.

Harribel jumped forward, wielding Samehada.

"Sorry, Samehada, I know you hate heat!" She apologized to her weapon partner.

With a strong swing, Samehada cleaved through the entirety of Blamuro's beam, causing it to split and move in diverging paths.

"WHAT EVER YOU ARE PLANNING, DO IT NOW!" Harribel screamed at Zest and Lance. "I WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT AGAIN!"

Her body, though not at risk, was injured and smoking from the intensely heated magic that had been used.

"I'M TRYING!" Zest cried out, on the verge of tears as she tried failed in making the complete Rasengan. "BUT… BUT I CAN'T…"

"Make a clone!"

"What?" Zest asked Lance.

"Make a clone. That way YOU can provide the chakra and the clone and mold it." Lance told her. "It should work, and if it isn't completed we can still try!"

Nodding, Zest made a Shadow Clone, standing before her.

"Whatever you are planning won't work!" Blamuro blurted as he could feel his consciousness being torn apart.

He charged once more, toward the two rivals and charging another fire blast.

"Hold it!" Lance said as he took aim at the approaching attacker. "HOOOOLD IIIIIT!"

Zest was biting her lip as she and her clone tried forming the Rasengan.

"NOW!" Lance shouted the moment he saw the Rasengan become a true sphere. "COMBO: SPIRAL DRAGON CANNON!

With his aim true, Lance fired off the magic/chakra combined attack, being knocked off of his feet, his shoulder dislocated as he hit the ground.

Blamuro was struck by the bullet in the chest, warping it to the point it burrowed through the armored skin, shattering it all as Blamuro was sent flying, the embers of the attack swirling against his chest.

"It's over…" Lance coughed as he collapsed, his armor vanishing as he did.

Zest tried to catch him, but collapsed herself when her chakra cloak faded.

"Damn…" Harribel said with pride as she moved to apprehend Blamuro, who hit the ground and was rolling across it, battering many trees before he abruptly stopped when he hit the barrier of Kyoto. "When they aren't arguing, they make a strong team."

Samehada grumbled.

"Hey, I apologized for that!" Harribel snapped at her weapon.

Samehada grumbled more.

"Stupid glutton." Harribel retorted as she smacked her weapon before getting up to do her job as the soldiers of Yokai, Greek, Norse, and Christian pantheons surrounded the unconscious Blamuro, special cuffs being prepared to seal his SG and powers.

Meanwhile…

"GOD DAMN, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GO DOWN!" Naruto shouted as he punched Great Red in the face with his Susano.

Great Red bled heavily, gasped heavily, and was smiling.

"Why do you ask? You getting tired, boy?" Great Red asked his opponent as he stared Naruto down as he reconvened with Kurama and Isobu.

'Damn, I am down to two of the Puppet's, and while it helps to be alone with my chakra being 'whole', and the fact my Adamantine Sealing Chains have sealed a good chunk of his power,' Naruto thought as he looked at the many chains wrapped around the dragon's arms, legs, and long neck. 'He still has a fuck ton of fight left.'

"I can go all eternity." Great Red stated as he wiped his mouth of the blood, spitting it out.

"So can I, you great Fuck!" Naruto stated as he disengaged his Susano, taking the form of Kokuo. "BOIL STYLE: UNRIVALED CHARGE!"

Chapter 60, DONE!

Things heated up here.

Hope you all enjoyed it, even if a little.

I apologize if this isn't up to my usual standards, I am very sick right now and trying to do anything I can to not hurt myself or make it worse.

Besides that, I know many people don't like the Lance character, since he has been eating up a lot of time, but I promise I will be jumping ahead soon, so just bear with him just a bit longer and then another hand full of jumps, and BOOM, canon.

If you enjoyed, or disliked, please leave a review, they help me become a better author.
