A. A: Nothing much to say, just that I always got a little peeved thinking the story could have gone that way if she actually got discovered from the beginning, although as the story was new in that time well things needed to progress very different.

* Last time on What Makes Us Strong *
'A. Music Suggestion: Lost my mind – Nightcore'
"Ok girls time to move, we need to reach Kyoto fast" Naruto said as the golden chakra of Kurama mode surrounded him again.
"Ok Naruto-kun" both Hinata and Asia said together which made them look at each other a little surprised but after some seconds each of them sent each other a soft smile and nodded.
"Kuroka…" was the only word she said and after some seconds a female figure appeared in a magic circle just beneath where she was floating standing at attention on the soft ground beneath her.
"You, search source of energy" was the only sentence the emotionless girl said as she continued staring in the direction where the big figure was, looking closer one could identify the big figure as a Great Dragon and it's color was a crimson one.
"I don't want to… I can't stand it, to think that I'll be married to such a filthy devil such as him, all I want is to be able to choose whom I can marry" Rias said feeling very tired after her outburst as her tears fell, she fell on her knees no longer her legs been able to support her at all as she rubbed her eyes with both her hands effortlessly trying to clean her tears but knowing she wouldn't be able to.
"I think it is time for us to leave Lucifer-sama, Leviathan-sama, I shall take this unruly piece with me for the start of his education" Grayfia said as she lifted the passed out Issei on her right shoulder and walked to where Sirzechs and Serafall were.
"See you then Rias-sama, Sona-sama, take care both of you and Rias-sama sorry about all of this" Grayfia said as she teleported both Satan's and herself out of the occult research club room.
* NOW *
Click… click… click… click… is the soft sound of the clock heard all around the room.
Rustle… is the soft sound of one soft feminine leg crossing over another heard in the same room.
Sigh… "I don't like this at all" is the distinctive feminine voice of Sona Sitri heard in the quiet room, she is a young bespectacled woman with a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes, she is wearing the standard Kuoh Academy uniform for females as she looks ahead of herself with her arms crossed under her modest bust, her queen Tsubaki Shinra is standing behind the couch where she is sitting and waiting patiently knowing her opinion is not needed for the moment, she is a young bespectacled woman with long straight black hair that extends all the way down to her knees, with split bangs and heterochromic eyes with a violet left eye and a light brown right eye, she's also wearing the standard Kuoh Academy uniform for females.
The person in question to whom she is speaking to has her head bowed down looking nowhere in particular, she has her arms crossed under her impressive bust not saying a thing at all, if one takes a closer look then one could actually see that she has a lost look on her face, behind where the girl is sitting on the couch one could see a standing Akeno Himejima who is not saying a thing neither while she just keeps looking ahead with the same lost look as her King.
"Rias… It's been two days already" Sona says as she uncrosses her arms and lets them rest down on the top of her knees, she looks at Rias with a little frown on her face, but this didn't make the woman react at all.
"Look I didn't think nor intend for any of this to happen Rias, snap out of it already, you will have to start going to the re-education tomorrow morning" Sona says to Rias in a stern voice, but one could actually hear the concern too.
Rias shifted a little when she heard Sona said the 're' word but otherwise there was no other visible response.
"Hey, I remember everything you told me about this Naruto guy and his partner, but I never realized that you were safe to begin with, I tried contacting you or anyone in your peerage multiple times, but no one answered… I was really worried you know, but…" Sona knows that what she is about to say is something she will regret but she has to at least make Rias snap out of it, because she doesn't want to see her like this never again, it is the first time Rias looks so defeated.
"Isn't all that happened here his fault to begin with?" Sona says knowing that something like that should make her react.
Shifting a little, Rias moves her head slowly up to look at her, and when she did Sona had to stifle an involuntary gasp because the eyes that were looking at her in that moment actually scared her some, it really was like she was looking at another person.
"You heard what they said… my decisions nearly made it so a new war could have sparkled… I'm only getting what I deserve for taking a wrong decision" Rias says slowly as she remembers the meeting that was held in the same room two days ago.
"I know what they said Rias but it isn't your fault!, it's Naruto's to begin with!" Sona said raising her voice a little knowing that it wasn't his fault neither but she wanted her childhood friend to react like always even a little.
"No… it was mine to begin with… because I didn't know how to control Issei from the start, if I did, then maybe something like this would have never happened to begin with" Rias says as she looks to the side of Sona and behind Tsubaki where the window lays open in the room, she looks up in the direction of the moon.
"But Rias!.." Sona tries to say but Rias interrupts her.
"As I told you Sona… Naruto isn't at fault here, he told us that they appeared here on special circumstances, I even told everyone what really happened, but I never thought things would get so out of hand..." "Where are you?" Rias says and thinks still looking at the moon that somehow makes her feel a little less tense in that moment, she didn't know why, but she actually wants to see Naruto, heck it is a stupid thing to want to see him, she knew him for only 2 hours at most, then why is it that she wants him to be there? It is an absurd thinking process to begin with, maybe she only wants to see him interact with his girlfriend or something, because the first time she saw them interact they looked so carefree as if they didn't really feel bothered at all, she didn't know what to think anymore it was just confusing and irritating and nerve wrecking and a lot of things.
Sigh… "I know… it's just even now you don't look like yourself at all, you need to assemble your thoughts Rias everything you stand for is on the line more so than never before" Sona says as she crosses her arms again knowing that at least she made Rias say something.
"I know ok? I know I have to take things more serious now than ever but I don't know what to do Sona, I… just don't know, to be honest… I guess me and my peerage will have to be ready for everything that is coming our way, I don't want to lose anyone in my peerage, all of them are my family you know that… but things aren't looking good for any of us..." Rias says shifting her gaze to look at Sona again and this time Sona noticed how Rias started to look a little less lost but still looking like something bothered her.
Sigh… "I guess I'll excuse myself out then, right now there's nothing much I can say or do to help you at all, I don't even know why this was done, it's the first time something like this has happened, if there's anything I can help with, please let me know, is the least I can do" Sona says uncrossing her arms and legs, and lifting herself slowly from the couch she is sitting on, knowing that anything that she is going to try or say won't work no matter what she tries, at least she got a reaction from Rias which was what she actually wanted so it was kinda a win in her mind.
"It's ok Sona, I thank you for your concern, and if we really need help with something I'll ask for your help again" Rias says as she watches Sona walk to the door and open it slowly.
"Thank you really" Rias says as she see Sona walk outside and close the door behind her, after some minutes she turns her head back around again and keeps watching the moon in the distance "Are you okay?"
Click… was the sound of the door closing itself behind Sona heard as she walks away from the club room, she knows that things aren't looking good at all and they are going to get even harder, call it a hunch or whatever but she feels like the things that happened two days ago were just the beginning of harder times coming their way.
"Tsubaki, we need to up our training, I don't know why but I feel we will need it, something tells me that when this Naruto character appears again Rias won't be herself again, we need to try and help her in any way we can when that happens" Sona says walking a little faster as she fixes her glasses daintily with her right hand over her nose, this in turn makes Tsubaki look at her a little surprised.
"It shall be done Sona-sama" Tsubaki says after some seconds knowing that her King has a reason for everything, she too fixes her glasses daintily knowing that things were indeed gonna get harder.
"Yes it will, there's no time to waste, I'll need everyone available to start our training because with Rem coming on us tomorrow things are going to get more complicated" Sona says shivering a little at the mention of Rem's name, knowing that Rem is someone she really doesn't want to mess with, even if she looks innocent and soft she actually has her own attitude.
"H-Hai, Sona-sama" Tsubaki says shaking a little remembering the first time she met Rem, she really doesn't want to get on her bad side, because if you do things right then she won't get mad at you, but if you mess things up even a little, then yeah, let's just leave it with a simple it's not pretty.
"So now you know Gya-kun, harsh times are coming onto us and Buchou will need all of us to help her in everything we can, I… I don't want to lose the only family I have right now, I can't accept it, not anymore, please help us Gya-kun we need everyone's strength to be able to overcome this hurdle that is coming onto us..." is the distinctive feminine voice of Tōjō Koneko heard all around the seemingly empty room she is sitting in the middle of in that precise moment as little tears are trailing down her cheeks knowing that to whom she is speaking to is hearing her perfectly, she doesn't mind that he can see her crying like this, she trusts him so much that she knows he's like the brother she ever wanted and needed.
"Ko-chan… I… will… I will do it… for everyone… I don't want to lose my family neither" is the voice of another person heard coming from the coffin inside the room even though he is supposed to be a male his voice sounds very feminine, after some shuffling the person in question came out of it and one could notice an androgynous-looking male with platinum blond hair styled in short bob cut with several small fringes over his forehead and pinkish-violet eyes, he has pointed ears, unlike the rest of the boys of Kuoh Academy who wear the boys' uniform, Gasper wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform with thigh-high socks, creating a Zettai Ryōiki appearance.
This in turn makes Koneko's tears stop and look at Gasper surprised "R-Really Gya-kun?".
"Hai, Ko-chan, right now isn't the time for me to feel too shy, right now my family needs me and I will deliver however I can… although having to go outside will be a little difficult" Gasper says looking down while clenching his fists and knowing that it will be difficult, but for his family he will do whatever it takes to help them all.
This in turn makes Koneko release more tears and a little sob come out of her as she clumps Gasper and hugs him very tight knowing that at least she came through to him a little bit, even if it is a little it's something which makes Gasper look at her surprised and relax on her embrace, and after some seconds he returns her hug slowly, they stood like that for at least 20 minutes neither saying a thing just giving each other the support they needed in that moment, because they knew they needed it.
After the time passed Koneko stopped hugging Gasper and took some steps back while rubbing her eyes with both her hands and a little bright smile appeared on both half-devils.
"All right, with everything that is going to happen we need to be ready, let's go Gya-kun, we will help our family stay together no matter what" Koneko says while she lifts her right fist in a victory kind of pose which only made Gasper sweatdrop and feel a little nervous, and thinking to himself that maybe this wasn't going to be such a good idea… well the threat to be on Grayfia's peerage actually is worst… so yeah he's kinda game on with it.
"Hai Ko-chan let's do this!" Gasper says while he too raises his right fist albeit a little more nervous than Koneko knowing that he still isn't quite ready for the world outside but for his family, he will try.
* Time Skip- next day *
"Alright everyone, today's the first day that our 're-education' starts, let's tackle this as we always do, let's show them that we are the Gremory family and nothing will stop us..." Rias said to her whole peerage minus Issei, she was worried about him yes, but she knows that Grayfia is taking care of him so she won't be able to rely on him, although what really surprised her that day was that Koneko approached her earlier, and told her to release Gasper, her bishop, whom was shy when it involves the outside world, she didn't know what happened but this little surprise helped to lift her spirits some and in turn made even Akeno and Kiba be more centered knowing that all of them were going to stay together no matter what.
"Hai, Buchou they won't separate us!" The peerage of Rias Gremory said all together knowing that even if things were going to be hard they will stand together, because their family won't be separated at all, they will stick together and fight together against everything that is coming against them.
- Line Break-
'A. Music Suggestion Porter Robinson Madeon- Shelter'
Thud… Clack… Thud… Clack… is the continuous sound that the bamboo shot keeps producing every time it keeps refilling and emptying itself over the koi pond, a simple yet elegant decoration that somehow makes the ones that listen to it feel at ease.
This is the sound that keeps been heard by all the occupants of the wooden room as they sip slowly the tea from their wooden cups.
"You know Yasaka-sama, you never actually told us how yourself and Naruto-kun actually met..." is the voice of Hinata heard breaking the silent atmosphere around the room, if one looked closer her clothes were very different from the first ones she wore about 2 days ago, in that moment she is wearing a white kimono with lavender flowers patterns embroidered on it, the kimono is being held by a lavender sash tied around her waist which makes her look very regal and beautiful. (1)
"Well, to be honest the first time we met each other face to face was two days ago Hinata" Naruto says looking at his girlfriend that is sitting by his right side and if one looked closer his clothes too were very different from the first ones he wore about 2 days ago, in that moment he is wearing a soft black kimono that resembled more grey than black with a deep orange wave design embroidered on the bottom part of it, he's also wearing a green bandanna with leaf embroidery on it that is holding his short blonde hair back, the kimono is being held by an orange sash tied around his waist which makes him look very formal and handsome although the bandanna makes him seem a little roguish too. (1)
"Really? Then how did you know about this place to begin with?" Hinata asks looking at her boyfriend expectantly, which somehow makes Naruto feel a little nervous knowing that he needs to explain things in a way that she understands but thanks to the Natural chakra that is affecting her slowly that is gonna be hard to pull, He means, right now the question she asked sounded more like she was mad at him or something, this only helps to prove that he needs to talk with her about the situation before it escalates longer.
"It is decided after this tea ceremony she and I are going to have a long and slow talk about what really is happening" "Well, you see Hinata, I… Uhm…Kind of met her on my mindscape?" Naruto says feeling very unnerved because of the blank stare Hinata is giving him in that moment as a little trickle of sweat runs down the side of his head.
"I see…" Hinata says frowning a little then turning back to continue sipping her tea slowly which makes the mood of the room relax a little.
"Hinata-san, rest assured that the first time I actually met Naruto-kun..." crack… is the sound heard in the room that makes her stop talking, she notices the wooden cup on Hinata's hand has some cracks on it and her right hand is shaking slowly which actually makes her feel confused not knowing why she is doing that, in that precise moment Yasaka is wearing her formal Miko outfit for the meeting.
Uhm… "Hi-Hinata-san is everything ok?" Asia asks looking to her left side where Naruto and Hinata are sitting together wondering if everything is ok with her friend, if one looked closer one could notice that she too was wearing a Kimono that makes her look regal and beautiful, the kimono itself is an olive green color with a peacock print on it, the kimono is being held by a sash of the same color and design, all in all she looks really beautiful wearing the Kimono. (2)
Sigh… "Yes Asia-chan, I think I'll excuse myself, I suddenly am not feeling too good to continue with this meeting" Hinata says looking at Asia, and after some seconds she stands up slowly which makes everyone else in the room to look at her.
"Hinata-neechan are you sure you are ok? If you want I can accompany you to your room?" Kunou says tilting her head to the right side in confusion as her tails swing from side to side signifying that she is curious too, in that moment she too is wearing a formal Miko outfit for her size, which makes her look cute and innocent.
"Sure, I'd love that Kunou-chan if it is ok with your mama?" Hinata says smiling softly and extending her right hand in Kunou's direction, she turns her head in Yasaka's direction and looks at her waiting expectantly.
"Mama?" Kunou asks too looking at her mother with pleading eyes which makes Yasaka smile softly knowing his little girl has grown attached to the young man and women in the last 2 days.
"Ok sweetie but remember the moment she falls asleep is time for you to go to bed too ok?" Yasaka says as she nods to both Hinata and Kunou allowing them to be together more time.
Yay!… Kunou yells excitedly as she grabs Hinata's hand and starts dragging her away while Hinata only giggles softly to herself, this in turn makes the rest of the occupants in the room to chuckle and giggle to themselves.
"Ne, Kunou-chan want to see a new 'trick'?" Hinata says as she bends a little and picks Kunou up on her arms softly.
"Hai, Hinata-neechan I'd love to" Was the conversation heard coming from both girls while they were leaving the room.
Hearing the door close behind both girls the atmosphere in the room changed from an awkward one to a quiet one.
Sigh… "Sorry about that Yasaka-san, I guess the problems that I thought were going to take more time to arise seem to be happening faster" Naruto says looking in the direction where Hinata just left with Kunou in tow.
"No, don't worry Naruto-kun, there must be a good explanation for everything right?" Yasaka says looking at him expectantly which in turn made Asia turn her head and look at him too feeling a little curious herself.
"Yeah, there is a good explanation for everything" Naruto says still looking in the same direction, after a minute he turns his head back around to look at Yasaka and Asia whom are still waiting patiently for him to speak.
"Well, first I want to say thank you again for allowing us to take residence here in Kyoto" Naruto says bowing his head softly which makes Yasaka shake her head softly.
"There's no need for that Naruto-kun, as I told you, everything is fine, besides I was really curious to meet another Kyuubi and his host" "Although I guess it is a bonus that the host is kind of handsome too?" Yasaka says and thinks while looking at Naruto up and down again in such a way that Naruto starts rubbing his head with his right hand feeling really sheepish in that moment.
Uhm… "Yeah, anyways please do ask anything you wish to know, I'll try to answer all your questions honestly, although I'll try to not reveal everything if it isn't too much of a problem" Naruto says changing his attitude which in turn makes the mood in the room change to a more serious one.
"I see, well, first can you please explain to me why you appeared with one more person than the one intended, I mean, I remember you told me you were going to appear with Hinata but not the girl that is with us right now and in such a hurry too, while she was naked?" Yasaka says knowing that the time for teasing can come later but right now she needs to be more serious.
"Well, to be honest, we were attacked by devils" Naruto says in such a normal tone that makes Yasaka open her eyes wide wondering why did that happen in the first place.
"How? I mean, Whatever did you do to make the devils attack you?" Yasaka asks wondering if maybe she was giving residence to some devil criminals and she didn't notice at first but she didn't sense any magic coming from any of them the first time they met except for the naked girl at the time, which somehow made her hesitant to try and put her idea into motion, now she will only wait for Naruto to explain. "I just hope none of you are criminals or something like that, even though I can only sense you all are humans".
Sigh… "You see, Hinata and I are not from this place-..." Naruto starts his explanation from the beginning.
"Wait, what do you mean you aren't from this place? You both are clearly human although I admit that been able to communicate in your mindscape has me intrigued" Yasaka says interrupting Naruto for a second.
"Well, we are Shinobi or Ninja if you prefer, but not the same type of ninja I read about in the library you allowed me access to 1 day ago Yasaka-san" Naruto says explaining what he and Hinata are, this in turn makes Yasaka nod slowly.
"Then, what type of Shinobi are you and Hinata-chan, Naruto-kun?" Yasaka asks a little intrigued and letting curiosity get the best of her.
"Well, the first time we met I was actually meditating and started using 'Senjutsu'… to try and search all around myself" Naruto says pausing a little when he noticed Yasaka tense up at the mention of 'Senjutsu'.
"S-Senjutsu? B-But How… I mean only a few people can actually use senjutsu and it's variants… I don't get it… Is this why you're a different type of shinobi?" Yasaka says fumbling with her words some, because in that precise moment she is feeling really out of it because of the new information.
Huh… "I guess not everyone here is able to use senjutsu… and well it's not because of only that but because I can mix up my chakra with natural energy to make use of senjutsu…" Naruto says remembering the explanation he was told the first time he was learning about senjutsu, although at that time it was explained in a way that he could understand which actually makes him sweatdrop remembering the explanation, yeah, he wasn't the sharpest kunai of the set at that time, sue him if you wish, but he mastered something that was supposed to be impossible to master at the time.
"Wait, wait, isn't senjutsu the ability that allows one to control ki and touki and then thanks to that allows access to chakra?" Asia says feeling a little curious herself and remembering that some time ago she read some books that had that kind of information to pass some time as she was feeling bored in that moment, so she read about senjutsu and how it works.
"I don't know if that is how it works here… but where I come from everyone has chakra and that's how we could meet Yasaka-san because after you left, Kurama mentioned that all Yôkais here have chakra and could use it? So he remembered your chakra signature and here we are..." Naruto says rubbing his head trying to explain how they got to Kyoto in the first place.
"I see, well to be honest everyone in the Yôkai faction has chakra and can use it to some degree but only specialized fighters use it for combat and defense purposes." Yasaka says dispelling some doubts that Asia and Naruto have regarding the usage of chakra in the Yôkai faction.
"I see, sorry for not knowing very well about the topic Yasaka-sama" Asia says bowing her head respectfully thinking that maybe what she said somehow offended the Yôkai leader.
Hehe… "Don't worry Asia-chan you didn't insult me or anything" Yasaka says smiling softly in Asia's direction.
"Well, I guess it is kinda a little like where I come from, but I wonder Yasaka-san, I read in some books that the chakra here is different in some way to the one I use?" Naruto says asking the question he wants to know the answer to and thinking that maybe this could give him a more balanced answer on what Kurama meant about becoming the Rikûdo Sennin of this world to begin with.
"What do you mean Naruto-kun?" Yasaka asks now feeling a little confused after the question.
"Well, is your chakra a mixture of both spiritual and physical energy?" Naruto asks wondering if the same concept of chakra applies in this world that he knows is not their own and thinking that maybe there's a way to go back to Konoha.
"No Naruto-kun, chakra is only composed of spiritual energy, here look" Yasaka says as one of her tails came forward and a little ball of flame appeared on the top of it without hand signs or anything like that, which makes Naruto look at her intrigued because he could feel the chakra on the ball of fire but it felt kind of different.
"I see, so that explains what Kurama meant..." Naruto says mumbling to himself slowly coming to the realization on how his chakra is actually affecting and changing the world around himself, sighing to himself Naruto continues to contemplate more the facts presented to him that in a way started to be more clear to comprehend.
"What's wrong Naruto-kun?" Asia asks looking at Naruto a little confused and worried because of the sudden quiet musing coming from Naruto.
Looking up at Asia and Yasaka, Naruto shakes his head and starts his explanation "Well you see, I was asking this because I wanted to confirm some things that Kurama pointed out..."
"And what are those things Naruto-kun?" Yasaka asks tilting her head now feeling more curious than before which in turn made Asia nod.
"Well, I wanted to confirm how it was possible for you to enter my mindscape to begin with, because I know I have a kind of ability that allows me to connect with other people, no scratch that, what I meant is that the chakra that I use is more to help people connect and understand each other rather than allowing easier access for fighting or defense" Naruto says rubbing his head now starting to see where everything that Kurama mentioned was going and starting to feel a little frustrated.
"Allows you to connect people with each other?" Asia says looking at Naruto confused because of what he said.
"Yeah, I'll explain easily, you see, we shinobi use chakra to create ninjutsu but originally this wasn't supposed to be like that, ninjutsu came about because the people corrupted the original idea of Ninshu which was supposed to help people connect and understand each other, but times of war and greed made it so that the art that was supposed to connect and understand was instead used to destroy, kill, conquer..." Naruto explains slowly with a frown on his face, which is being mirrored by Yasaka and Asia, the latter after some seconds could only cover her open mouth with both her hands because of the surprise.
"Well, after a lot of time, finally shinobi are now in an era of peace that everyone worked hard to achieve with a lot of effort, I… maybe in some years was going to become the leader of the village where I grew up, but because of my carelessness I was transported here alongside my girlfriend after returning from a mission which kind of involved me saving her from a feminine guy" Naruto says as he crosses his arms over his chest and looks at both Yasaka and Asia seriously.
"So, that's when you met Asia-chan?" Yasaka asks feeling really intrigued because of how they met, this in turn made Asia move her head looking between both Naruto and Yasaka feeling that maybe there was something more to it.
"Well, we didn't meet per se…. Hey I kind of like that little phrase… anyways returning to the topic at hand, Hinata and I got involved in a fight that in the end got us transported here and I wanted to know if maybe there's a way to return, but so far I haven't found any clue in the library you gave me access to Yasaka-sama" Naruto says as he rubbed the back of his neck somehow feeling a little restless because of the facts.
"Thing is, after we got transported here we appeared near where Asia-chan was lying in a kind of death state, I sensed how some weird rings that were on the floor were pulsing with the same intensity as her life force so I gathered them and kind of just shoved them back into her and brought her back to life and well, after that I was gonna actually ask what happened when we were attacked by a group of devils" Naruto says again as he narrows his eyes remembering his encounter with Rias and her 'peerage' "Dang, I fucking hate that word… I'm definitely gonna have a serious talk with Rias and kick the ass of the one that came with that idea, the first thing I'll do when I meet him or her is punch him/her hard in the face then I'll ask what the fuck he/she really was thinking" Naruto thought as he closed his eyes and let a little sigh of frustration leave his lips slowly.
"I see Naruto-kun" Yasaka says feeling that her initial doubts were dispelled thanks to that information, she didn't know why but she didn't think that Naruto was lying at all, it was like he actually meant every word that he said.
"Anyways, we knocked those devils out and proceeded to take them with us to know more about where we were… although that plan didn't go out well in the end, we managed to make friends with Rias Gremory and her 'peerage', that's why I told you that maybe we would take more time to reach this place, because I wanted to know more about where we were with Rias's help..." Naruto says remembering everything that happened when they first met Rias, although when the word peerage left his mouth he narrowed his eyes.
"Rias Gremory huh? They are an important house from the faction of devils… her big brother is the actual ruler of the underworld, Sirzechs Lucifer." Yasaka says seeing the confused look Naruto and Asia both are sporting on their faces when she said her name in a contemplative form.
Sigh… "I see, so that's why they appeared with at least 30 devils to try and take us out… although the way they were ogling at Hinata and Asia irked me so much that I wanted to rip their eyes out…" "UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE… go ahead Kurama I know you want to..." Naruto says and thinks out loud in his mind knowing that Kurama wants to laugh out loud.
"I'm not gonna say a thing… just… I knew it..." Kurama says chuckling to himself knowing that things are going to get interesting in the future.
"Anyways, They appeared and transported Rias and the others to somewhere, maybe to the underworld to 'protect' them from us and… well yeah, another fight transpired where I thought I was going to fight the leaders until Rias and another girl appeared and told them to stop, so thinking quickly I took advantage of the opportunity give to us, and grabbed both Hinata and Asia and brought them with me leaving the devils behind as fast as we could" Naruto says retelling everything that happened which Asia confirms as she nods her head without pause.
"I see, so you used senjutsu to know where I was located then" Yasaka confirms more than asking which only makes Naruto nod slowly.
"Wait, what do you meant when you said that 'it' explains what Kurama meant?" Yasaka asks remembering the words he said some minutes ago.
Oh… "Yeah, well you see… Kurama says I'm becoming the Rikûdo Sennin of this world" Naruto says rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish expression on his face.
"Rikûdo Sennin?…. What is that?…" Asia asks feeling confused because of the new word that came out of Naruto's mouth.
"Sage of six paths right? that's the meaning of the words Rikûdo Sennin, although I share the same confusion as little Asia-chan here, what is a Rikûdo Sennin?" Yasaka says and asks feeling really confused too.
"Oh right, I never explained the beginning… well you see the Rikudo Sennin was the person that started spreading the lessons of ninshu in the first place in our world" Naruto explains as he crosses his arms over his chest and looks up remembering everything.
"And you are becoming him? Does that mean that you will start spreading ninshu?" Asia says feeling a little excited because of something so incredible happening like letting people connect and understand each other.
"Well, I don't know if I'll start spreading it per se… but more like, remember I said that we shinobi use spiritual and physical energy right?" Naruto asks as he looks at them while they are nodding slowly.
"Yes, Why?" Both, Asia and Yasaka answer and ask not knowing where he was going to with that question.
"Well as you say Yasaka, here in this world, chakra is a composition of only spiritual energy and thanks to the hatred and malice this world has been through in all it's time it is hard to control right? Specially the natural energy..." Naruto says now knowing exactly what Kurama meant to begin with, this in turn makes both women nod their heads signaling for him to continue.
"Hmm… as Kurama put it out, right now I'm a giant walking filter that the nature around us is taking a huge advantage of, every second that passes the hatred and malice in this world enters me through natural energy and keeps making me stronger while at the same time I cleanse it of everything that it has… here like this..." Naruto says remembering the exact words that Kurama used and in the last part he stood up, and got closer to both Asia and Yasaka, touched them transferring some of his chakra for them to feel it, this in turn made them both feel a little flustered and a little drunk because of the warmth that is passing through them in that moment.
"W-Wow..." Both Yasaka and Asia say together after Naruto stopped touching their shoulders and transferring chakra to them.
"Yeah, sorry about that" Naruto says as he rubs his nose with his right index finger while he smiles sheepishly, looking the faces that both Yasaka and Asia were sporting in that moment.
Ahahaha…."I actually only used a little bit of chakra so I don't harm you in any way..." Naruto says as he returns to where he was before and sits down again crossing his arms over his chest.
"Harm us?, but didn't you say it is used to connect and understand?" Asia asks feeling still a little flustered and feeling her heart pounding a little faster as she keeps looking at Naruto.
"Yeah, it is and be careful Asia-chan, try to control your body and emotions, the same for you Yasaka-san" Naruto says noticing that both Asia and Yasaka were looking at him a little drunker than before.
"Why?" Both ask feeling the huge urge to get closer to him but struggled really hard against it.
"Here I'll take care of the problem" Naruto says as he makes a hand sign with his right hand and both Yasaka and Asia suddenly felt like a bucket of ice cold water was sprayed on both that actually made them both shiver.
Sigh… "What you just felt right now was just a little of what is actually happening, the natural energy comes out with my spiritual and physical energy mixed in it, which will boost every ability I have and boost any ally I wish to do so, but, well, the side effect is that little drunkenness because it is just adapting itself to the nature and cleansing it" Naruto says in frustration knowing that this is what is affecting Hinata too and he will talk to her once this meeting ends.
"So Hinata-san is going through the same process as what just happened to us?" Yasaka asks now kinda getting why the reaction she had earlier.
"Yes and No" Naruto says shaking his head with his arms still crossed over his chest.
"What do you mean Naruto-kun?" Asia asks now feeling a little confused.
"Well, when we first appeared here, she and I were trapped in a weird technique and we were sharing chakra to one another trying to overpower the technique and well, we ended up here just where Asia-chan was, so the moment I entered sage mode to try and get a feeling of where we were I started the same process as I'm going through on her, which means that she too is being used as a filter for the nature around us with everything it has, malice and hatred..." Naruto says as he narrows his eyes in concentration.
Gasp… "Is there any way to help her? Or that we can help her at all?" Asia asks unknowingly making Naruto blush a little, but this didn't go unnoticed by Yasaka who grew a little smirk on her face at seeing his reaction.
Uhm… "Well, Y-You S-See, I was actually going to talk with her after this meeting to let her know of the actual solution that Kurama came up with" Naruto says feeling really flustered and avoiding to look at both Asia and Yasaka in favor of looking to where Hinata and Kunou left about 10 minutes or so ago.
Mmmhmm… "Can you explain to us what is the solution? And is there a way we can help?" Yasaka asks as her little smirk grows to a Cheshire cat grin when she saw Naruto's little blush grow to a full red face while he starts sweating a little.
Ahm… Uhm… "W-Well, if it isn't too much, can we have a different room… preferably one that is isolated from where everyone else is, I wouldn't want to harm anyone else that is around" "Or I don't know, make things more messier?" Naruto says and thinks feeling more flustered than before if it was even possible.
Giggle.. "Don't worry Naruto-kun it will be done, just tell me when you need it and we will have it ready" Yasaka says giggling mischievously confirming her suspicions while Asia only tilts her head in confusion not knowing what the Yôkai leader was giggling about.
"Thank you Yasaka-sama, maybe in 3 more days should be ok..." Naruto says bowing his head softly knowing that he now has somewhere safe to help Hinata with Kurama's assistance.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun, anything to help our dear honored guests and friends, well, if that's everything then I think we will need to cut this meeting short so you can go and talk with your girlfriend, Yes?" Yasaka says while she holds her right cheek with her right hand softly, knowing that what is going to actually happen in 3 days makes her smirk mischievously again and Naruto just feel more sweat come down the side of his head knowing he was discovered from the beginning.
"Hai!" Both, Naruto and Asia say as they slowly stand up and leave the room quietly, leaving Yasaka alone in it.
Giggle… was the last sound heard in the room when the tatami doors to the room closed with a soft clack.
"So, Hinata, what do you think… or have to say?" is the nervous voice of Naruto heard across the room they have been sharing for the last two days asking his girlfriend for her honest opinion knowing that what he was asking of her was too rushed, they just started their relationship and this change of events was something very difficult to approach but it had to be done so nothing bad could happen in the long run.
"I see… so that's why I've been acting and feeling so different these last few days right Naruto-kun?" Hinata asks looking at her boyfriend with a mixture of worry and love.
"Yeah I know it is asking too much Hinata… after all we've only been dating for only 7 days at most" which was really too rushed to approach such a delicate subject in his opinion if you ask him.
"Ok Naruto-kun… let's do it, after all, this it to help me and help you at the same time right?" Hinata says knowing her boyfriend won't lie to her at all, she knows him so much that she knows when he's trying to lie, or something is actually bothering him, and the look he has in that moment actually indicates that he's really worried for her "If that's the case, let's do it, after all there's nobody else to whom I'd wish to give my first to but only you Naruto-kun, I love you..." Hinata says the last part in a soft whisper while she fumbles with her hands feeling very shy and nervous in that moment.
This in turn only makes Naruto blush while he looks at her feeling his throat very dry in that moment, so he did the only thing that came to his mind which was to hug and kiss her softly which Hinata returned for some seconds before everything that they just talked about came to her directly, and she passed out on his arms feeling very overwhelmed in that moment.
"Hi-Hinata! come on.. ahah… ahahahahahah…. Ahahahahahahah" Naruto says and laughs out loud while he hugs the passed out Hinata on his arms feeling how all trace of nervousness his body felt had started to leave it making him feel more relaxed, so that night he chose to hug her closer to his body and hold her for the night knowing that things were going to be interesting in the future.
"Hehe.. My girlfriend" Naruto chuckled to himself as he fell asleep holding Hinata on his chest with both arms around her back.
* Time Skip- 3 days *
"Here Naruto-kun..." Yasaka says in such a sweet voice that makes both Naruto and Hinata twitch, one in embarrassment and the other in annoyance knowing that these raging emotions she's having right now is because of what's happening to her.
"You both can use it to your heart's content, the Yôkai were instructed to not interrupt and continue with their daily lives no matter what they hear so if you'll excuse me, I have things to do" Yasaka says as she turns around and walks away having a teasing smile all the way down.
Hehe… "Well I guess it is a good thing that we have the support of the leader right?" Naruto says feeling very nervous in that moment and looking to his right where Hinata is standing, and shaking a little although he couldn't figure out if she was shaking because of nervousness, or something else.
Grunt… "Whatever, let's just finish this already, let's go Naruto-kun" Hinata says walking inside the room feeling very annoyed in that precise moment.
Hehe... "Angry sex, dayum Naruto, you are one lucky bastard!" Kurama says inside his head and giggling a little perversely knowing that what is going to happen is going to be very kinky.
"Dang fox, if it wasn't because we actually need your aid in all of this ordeal, I would have left you out of it" Naruto thinks to himself while he too walks inside the room, he turns around and closes the door slowly with narrowed eyes feeling a little annoyed thanks to Kurama's and Yasaka's teasing, this in turn only made kurama giggle more inside his head.
Hehehe… "Yep you need me and you know it" Was the last thing heard inside Naruto's head as he turned around to see his girlfriend.
-WMUS-
"A. Music Suggestion Tobu- Happy Ending"
"You know… if it isn't because of the important information you have been holding from me for the last 5 days and because I need to wait for Ino to come back in 3 more days from her mission to confirm that what you are going to say isn't false, I'm still wondering to myself though, if the mission consists of bringing the necessary materials you need for whatever you are going to do, then why didn't you request them in advance before coming here? Even though the funeral was going to be held you could have requested them, so if it wasn't because of that then I would have kicked you two out of my clan estate long ago" Hanabi says as her eyes narrow while she looks at the persons in front of her, remembering how she met them about 5 days ago and how they have been stalling to tell her the information she is curious about.
"Don't worry Hanabi-sama the information that my protegee is talking about is actually very important, she informed me that she needs to wait a little more time because of some events that are going to happen in those 3 days and well, I again thank you for the hospitality given to us" Says the kunoichi that is a fair-skinned girl of average height, she has green eyes and waist-length black hair in a hime-style cut tied in a high ponytail with short bangs and chin-length strands framing her face, she has a black forehead protector and wears her kunoichi uniform which is grey-coloured with a right shoulder-guard, grey gloves and an opening in her shirt which reveals some of her sizable cleavage.
Hanabi looks in front of her remembering how 5 days ago she met the woman that just spoke, Shizuka if she remembers her name right, and the one that is by her side whom has pale lavender eyes and light blond hair that falls past her waist which is being kept tied at the end with a bow, she is wearing a lavender Kimono with her hair being kept tied back with a golden crown, all in all she looked almost like her beloved Onee-sama but with pale blonde hair, heck she nearly confused her 5 days ago when she met them both but is a good thing that she didn't.
"I guess Shizuka-san, what I'm more confused is why specifically this has to be done in such secrecy? I mean I don't think there's a problem if someone else of my clan is involved or even the Hokage himself?" Hanabi says knowing that her patience with the persons in front of her is running low with the passing days, "Ino please come back faster sheesh, is it really that hard to find those materials that the priestess Shion asked of you specifically?" Hanabi thinks in the end remembering how when she was going to return home from the funeral she was approached by Shizuka and Shion because they needed to talk to her about something 'important', and then Ino because she wanted someone to talk to besides Sakura or Tenten so she often hung out with her sister to pass time and then herself.
"I will be honest Hanabi-san, what I'm gonna talk about is very important because it concerns both Naruto and Hinata Uzumaki that's why this needs to be so 'secret' as you put it, because I have high knowledge that both of them are alive" The blonde girl whose name is Shion if she remembers right says besides Shizuka knowing that revealing a little bit of information about what she really wants to talk about is going to make Hanabi stop a little and reconsider on her hasty decision of kicking them out.
" 'Byakugan' " Hanabi thinks out loud in her mind as she narrows her eyes to the two in front of her which makes Shizuka stand in a defensive position in front of Shion knowing that things were going to escalate if they didn't explain things fast.
"Wait Hanabi-sama, it isn't what you think!" Shizuka says getting ready for a confrontation.
"Then tell me why should I believe anything that you two say just after the funeral of both Onii-sama and Onee-sama that happened 5 days ago huh?!" Hanabi says as she starts gathering chakra on her limbs readying herself to take down the two in front of her.
"Please wait Hanabi-san it's not what you think, I was going to reveal everything in due time, because there's a strong connection on what happened to Naruto and Hinata and an event I saw in the future that involves them, us and some kind of war!" Shion says feeling a little nervous because thanks to her lack of revealing much about the information she holds then they are possibly going to be framed for the disappearance of both Naruto and Hinata so she now knows she need to further elaborate to avoid such a messy situation.
"Explain! Because, if you think that only because I accepted both of you as guests on the Hyūga estate for these last few days you are going to be free of suspicions thanks to the information you are revealing then you have another thing coming to you" Hanabi orders as she relaxes her stance but still prepared to strike them down if needed showing how her training to be the next head of the Hyūga clan for her whole life along her onee-sama has paid off.
Sigh… "Well, I'll be honest, Naruto and I are acquaintances, we go back from the time he was sixteen, he helped me to defeat a demon called Mōryō that is a gigantic serpentine creature with a very long and dark purple body and multiple dragon-based heads, I though that was the last time I was going to know anything about it, but somehow in someway it's soul is still alive and helped to banish both Naruto and Hinata to where it is from because this demon is not actually from this time or dimension" Shion says looking at Hanabi with a serious face knowing that she needs to come clear for things to not get messy.
"What do you mean? Do you know a way to get them back?" Hanabi asks as her stiff stance relaxes and her Byakugan deactivates now feeling really curious and hopeful on what Shion and Shizuka mean.
"I have the ability of future telling and I foresaw the deaths of both Naruto and Hinata some days before it even happened… this ability is supposed to be random and only activates when the death of someone close to me is near and it involves Mōryō in some way, only one time this ability didn't work how it was supposed to and that was the time when I first met Naruto" Shion says remembering what happened in the past which makes Hanabi look at her curiously.
"Please continue" Hanabi says now feeling a little giddy at knowing that maybe there's a way to bring both Naruto and Hinata back.
"As I pointed out the event I'm talking about involves a war in the future, but not here in the elemental nations" Shion says knowing that now there's no turning back and everything must be said.
"Doesn't involve the elemental nations? You mean that they are alive and in another dimension right?" Hanabi says thinking that now things were getting complicated.
"Yes they are safe and well in another world and time, why I say this? Because the time there flows much more different than the time here" Shion says looking to the side and nodding her head to Shizuka.
"What do you mean time flows different? And maybe there's someone that can help us to get them back!, there's a shinobi that can use his eye powers to get to another dimension and bring them back" Hanabi says remembering everything that happened and the written report Naruto wrote two years ago after the war ended, it was supposed to be only known to the clan heads and important figure heads, but as she and her onee-sama were going to be the future clan head they had to have access to that information too.
"If you are referring to Uchiha Sasuke, I'm sorry to say this, but there's no way he can help us at all, because we are not going to bring them back, we are going to be going where both Naruto and Hinata are and there's no turning back" Shion says showing that she too knows what Hanabi was thinking about.
"Why won't he be able to help at all? He has the ability to cross dimensions right?" Hanabi says not even wondering how Shion has that information, because she is thinking that the only opportunity to get both Naruto and Hinata back is slipping by when she has it so close on her hands.
"It's because the ability that I'm going to use is going to be the same ability that banished both Naruto and Hinata from this time and dimension, it needs a user of both chakra and magic energy to work at the same frequency and he's only a chakra user, he can cross dimensions yes, but most of his ability is related to work only with pure chakra based dimensions" Shion says knowing that she is the only one available to pull it off.
"What do you mean magic energy and chakra? My grandfather wasn't a magic user he was as pure blood Hyūga and isn't magic something that exists only in fantasies?" Hanabi says now feeling a little frustrated if the little twitching of her body is any indication.
"True he wasn't a magic user, but because he was being possessed at the time by the demon Mōryō he was able to perform the ability, because as I stated Mōryō is a demon from another world more specifically the world where both Naruto and Hinata are right now, it was banished to our world a long time ago by both a magic and chakra user, right now the last part of it's soul is regaining what little strength it can to try and take over this wold again, that's why it made sure to get rid of Naruto so he wouldn't be able to interfere in the long run with it's plan" Shion says explaining more about what really is going on.
"Then there should be a way to help you to get all the chakra and magic energy you need to perform the ability without the need to leave this world at all right and to bring them back?" Hanabi says with a little urge on her voice thinking that there is a way to bring them back.
"I have the magic energy and chakra necessary to perform the ability and to be sure to eradicate once and for all that damned demon, but the thing is, the ability is only a banishment one, it means that once it is performed you will be banished from this world to never come back no matter what you try, although maybe in the world of Mōryō there is a way to come back, but by the time we find how to get back, the time here will have passed very fast, meaning that a year there will be 20 years or 30 years here, that's why as the only and last magic and chakra user of this world it is my duty to see the eradication of this damned demon once and for all" Shion says frowning and knowing that her duty comes first, Shizuka seeing her expression only looks at her contemplatively for some seconds and then turns her head back around to look at Hanabi.
"I… I don't know what to say… I'm happy that maybe there's a way to be with Naruto-kun and onee-sama but leaving everything here behind… I..." Hanabi says as she looks around remembering everything that she has lived through in her world "Wait, if there's a way to go there then we should bring with us as many as we can, so as there is the war problem you say is going to happen then they'll need the more people they can to help them!" Hanabi says again as a realization struck her in that moment.
"No… I can only bring with me 3 more people and these people must be able to endure what's going to come our way and well they can only be female and have nearly the same amount of chakra that I'll use it all depends on the gender of the user of the ability" Shion says shaking her head knowing that her limit is four people including herself.
"Wait you say it depends on the gender of the user? Then why was onee-sama banished with Naruto-kun if my grandfather is a male?" Hanabi asks feeling confused because of it.
"It's because Mōryō is a demon dragon, it could use the ability any way it wished, but as it was still regaining strength then it could only use it to transport a few people, but I will force it to do my bidding and force it's last life force to transport myself and Shizuka to where Naruto is" Shion says with determination on her face and voice which only makes Shizuka nod her head.
"Only you two? I will come too because it's my sister and Naruto-kun who are there, so I won't take a no for an answer" Hanabi says now with her decision made knowing that there's no turning back.
"I know you will, that's why we approached you Hanabi-san, I'm sorry for been so secretive all this time, but it was the only way to get closer to Mōryō's soul which is sealed in the book that you guys just regarded as useless after everything that happened" Shion says bowing her head softly knowing that once the technique is done they will leave and the book with the last remnants of Mōryō's soul will be eradicated forever.
"Wait, with me there are 3 persons that are going, but who will be the 4th person?" Hanabi asks wondering who will it be.
"Well I would like to go there myself" a new voice was heard in the room they are having their meeting, turning their heads around the three girls noticed the Hyūga patriarch Hiashi Hyūga walking inside with his Byakugan activated having heard and seen all the conversation using it.
"Oto-sama you were spying on us?" Hanabi asks feeling very surprised because of her father spying on her.
"Of course I am, why shouldn't I? After all my only daughter on this dimension is talking with someone that could potentially separate her from me forever so I really don't want that to happen so much, I already have a daughter that I know I won't be able to see grow up or any grandchild that she could possibly have had with her husband so I at least have a little right to be able to be with both of them, am I right?" Hiashi says looking at Shion, Shizuka and Hanabi.
"I'm sorry Hiashi-sama, but as I explained to Hanabi-san I'm not able to perform the mixed gender incantation, only the same gender incantation, this means that I can only transport 3 more women with me" Shion says while she looks at the Hyūga head feeling a little regretful.
"What do you mean? Didn't you say you are going to use the soul of the demon itself to do your biding? Then that means that your ability should allow to transport anyone right?" Hiashi asks now feeling confused and a little irritated knowing that his chance to be with both his daughter's is slipping by.
"Yes and No Hiashi-sama, I'll use the soul of Mōryō as a catalyst for the technique and be sure to eradicate it, meaning that I'm not gonna allow it to control me to use the ability but I'll use the ability taking who wishes to come with me and I won't force any other girl to leave everything behind to help Naruto in any way" Shion says shaking her head knowing that what Hiashi was asking for was impossible.
"I see..." Hiashi says as he closes his and sighs deeply knowing that decisions must be taken.
"Hanabi are you sure about this? I mean everything behind… I don't know to be honest..." Hiashi says looking at his daughter knowing that both her and Hinata have grown up to be incredible women like their mother and that whatever they wish to do will be done no matter what.
"Yes father, I wish to go and to be able to see onee-sama and onii-sama and help them in any way I can" Hanabi says looking at her father seriously knowing there's no turning back now.
"I see.. well then start preparing yourself because this will be a long term mission which will have no return, make the Hyūga proud but more specifically make me more proud of you and Hinata than I already am, tell her the same, yes? I'll make sure that this information doesn't leave this room and I will talk to only the Hokage about what really is happening, I trust that you already know whom the 4th member will be accompanying you right Shion-sama?" Hiashi says looking at his youngest then looking at both Shion and Shizuka.
"Hai, Hiashi-sama the 4th member will be the one in charge of gathering the necessary materials for us" Shion says pointing out who the 4th member to accompany them is going to be.
"Wait, you mean to tell me that Ino Yamanaka is going to accompany us? Why?" Hanabi says feeling intrigued as to why she will willingly accompany them.
"Remember the events that will happen here and that are happening in the other world, well everything will happen in a way that she will want to accompany us and besides it all depends on her decision to come" Shion says feeling a little sheepish feeling like a villain or something like that.
"I see, then it is prudent that I inform the acting Yamanaka clan head about this too, so the heir to the clan won't be surprised about what is going to happen in 3 more days, if you'll excuse me I'll go talk to the Hokage in this moment" Hiashi says and walks away leaving behind the three women alone again and knowing that things are going to be done in secrecy and to forge that both Ino and Hanabi left on a long term mission following Shion and Shizuka.
"Well, if there's anything else you'll wish to discuss with us, you know where to find us, if you excuse us we need to start preparing for everything that is going to happen in 3 days Hyūga-sama" Shizuka says knowing that the discussion is over and wanting to relax a little more before kissing goodbye to the elemental nations.
"No need to be so formal Shizuka-san, my father already left the compound and is going to talk with both Hokage-sama and Yamanaka-sama, besides we will be together for a long time if what you are implying is true in any way" Hanabi says while she crosses her arms behind her head and having a wide smile feeling really glad that there is a way to be with Naruto-kun…. And onee-sama, yes, onee-sama too, can't forget about onee-sama.
Giggle… "Ok Hanabi-san if you'll excuse us, we will leave this moment" Shizuka says bowing and turning around with Shion following behind her, leaving Hanabi alone.
Once the door to the room closed the only occupant in the room couldn't help but let a shaky breath leave her lips and look around herself knowing that leaving everything she has known for her whole life behind is a hard decision, but it's already taken and she won't go back on her words.
* Time Skip- 3 days *
Everything was settled, the book containing the left over of Mōryō's soul was sitting on the ground in the middle of a huge intricate seal that was drawn on the ground, each woman was standing a few feet away from it, all of them with mixed reactions these women were Ino Yamanaka, Hanabi Hyūga, Shion and Shizuka each standing from left to right.
Ino Yamanaka has fair skin, blue eyes and long platinum blonde hair worn in a ponytail been held by a black clip, with bangs framing the right side of her face, in that precise moment she is wearing the standard Konoha uniform for Jônins while carrying a backpack that holds her purple top and mesh armor braces, long skirt that reaches her ankles, and high-heel sandals, her reasoning? Well she wants to look fashionable in the new world, so yeah don't judge her just try and you'll see heh, although she is carrying some scrolls that contain more equipment she will need in the future.
Next to her, Hanabi is wearing the standard Konoha Uniform for Chunnins, her long hair is being tied up in a long ponytail that is being held by an orange ribbon which actually made her look very good, she too is carrying a backpack which holds different scrolls with different kinds of foods and equipment that she knows they will need in the future, she's also carrying Naruto and Hinata's Jônin clothes for missions and equipment scrolls and whatever they were going to need in another set of scrolls knowing they will need them in the long run.
Next to them were Shizuka whom too was carrying her own backpack which held more scrolls containing more equipment and more food, and Shion too although her clothes consisted more of a bra-like white top with a mustard yellow jacket, which looks a little big for her and red pants cuffing off at the knees, all in all they were going prepared all thanks to the arrangements the leaders in front of them went through, all done in secrecy.
"Yamanaka Ino, Hyūga Hanabi as of this moment your services to Konoha are no longer required anymore, please inform Uzumaki Naruto and Uzumaki Hinata that their services to Konoha are no longer required neither too, and that you all should take care of yourselves" was the distinctive voice of one Hatake Kakashi heard all across the yard while he was standing besides the Yamanaka clan head on his right and the Hyūga clan head on his left.
"Hai!, Hokage-sama! And thank you!" both females said as they bowed for some seconds and turned around walking inside the intricate seal taking the East and West position respectively.
"Shion-san, Shizuka-san, although briefly I hope that your stay on Konoha has been a pleasant one, please take care of yourselves too and give our regards to both Naruto and Hinata from us, good luck" Kakashi says looking at the other two females which prompted both of them to nod and turn around and position themselves on the North and South position respectively.
'Fūinjutsu: Mystic Safety Bell Seal: Release ' Was the voice of Shion heard across the yard, her appearance changed when she released her power and transformed, her skin gained red markings, her hair turned pink and is standing behind her, a blue cloth hovers behind her and covers her arms, her clothing changes to a thin yellow dress that is nearly see-through, after some hand signs the seal on the ground started glowing a bright lavender color which made the Hokage and clan leaders cover their eyes and turn their heads around.
'Fūinjutsu: Banishment of the damned!' was the last thing heard on the yard of the Hyūga compound, after some seconds all three persons stopped covering their faces and turned their heads around and noticed that where there once stood a glowing seal, a book and different people, there was nothing like it never existed to begin with.
If you guys noticed I'm trying to change a lot my way of writing, hope you guys like it, another thing is, yeah I've taken a lot of time to do this chapter and well I didn't know how to give Konoha the closure it needed, hopefully it is up to what you guys expected if not, well nothing much to say, because this was the last chapter I write about Konoha… maybe I'll make something in the future, when Naruto and Hinata meet Ophis or something, but who knows? Only me :P, anyways if you've noticed there are some numbers in brackets, those are here.
1.- Is in the new picture that will appear in some hours for the story if it hasn't appeared yet.
2.- Is a Kimono I thought about Asia wearing, I was searching some of them, until I finally found that one on the internet, if I didn't depict it right you can search for it "onprincess-of-asia...co...th/index...php? route=product/product&product_id=206" Obviously don't forget to write the WWW at the beginning and to erase the dots that are too many.
And again I'm sorry for taking so long to post the new chapter I hope you guys understand what it means to work and do a lot of things and then write the fanfiction that I am, because I really want to write it and well the thing about the dimension crossing yeah, I always thought that the Kaguya sending Naruto across dimensions like nothing was too easy and never well explained because Narutoverse is a pure chakra universe and Kaguya yes can cross dimensions but remember the dimensions she crosses are chakra based dimension she herself created beforehand meaning that all the dimensions she can cross are pure chakra based while the DxD universe has both magic and a diluted version of chakra, I hope my explanation works a little better heck I never saw this been done and I thought why no one has done it before because it makes more sense, anyways peace and Rickv out until next chapter.
