Rise of the Otsutsuki clan
Hey back guys, sorry for the wait but I needed to help my brother write for his story so I hope you understand! Anyways, I read all the new reviews about the current chapter and I decided to go into a little detail about the Usagi Youkai so expect some information and backstory in this chapter about them. Anyways, here is something to address. You guys know Anime and Manga right? Where all characters say or name their attack as they use it, can you guys tell me if it is logical for Naruto to be doing that or simply not say anything at all and not name the technique he is using? I do not know your opinions, I myself write it to simply give you guys information about the technique.
R-king 93: Thank you
Mikaeru346: There will be more explanation and signs of change in this chapter
kazahana.85: Do not worry my friend, I welcome criticism it is one of the things I enjoy the most about displaying my work for others to see. And yes, there is always that condition for me to write some of my chapters so there is no specific chapter release time. Moving on, about the story, I am taking in every reviews suggestions and people who PM me and utilizing it in my writing. So expect some changes to the story and more improved chapters as they are posted.
DraxAQN: I'm glad you like it so much to accept my created Arc for the story.
InuLamar: Thank you for the support!
desdelor95: Thank you my friend.
: Why is the word Hanyou annoying to hear? It is simply a term for half demon half humans in Japanese. And the technique thing is sort of like an unspoken rule of anime and manga so I don't know how you would survive watching the original Naruto series where they say/shout their attacks in fights. And if you do not like my way of utilizing the vague information about the Otsutsuki clan then do not read, it is merely a creative idea of my brothers and mine to introduce some more antagonists.
inuboy86: Thank you, and it wont be the only time the story will "heat up".
Shaxoom: Your answer will be in the chapter, or I hope it answers it. Anyways, if you do not then please PM me or leave another review so I can answer your questions in the future.
Guest: Naruto is not saying Hou should not take his revenge, but to simply wait.
James9012: What if I tell you she might not be in the harem
Jebest4781: Then be prepared for the upcoming chapters.
Mokamiharu: It is... It might be in this chaper.
Nick: Yeah, but I said space-time manipulation due to him being able to get to another dimension with it.
ByyBeats: She might or might not be in the Harem and I was thinking about something like one of every race but eh.
YuukiAsuna-Chan: Yes I am glad you support the idea of not helping the Devils with every little thing unlike some readers who complain about Naruto being selfish not helping them.
dotJKLO: I like to do complex chapters hidden in simple ones, and the Harem is yet to be revealed yet.
Gogeta444: Maybe about the Harem, but the war is very soon.
Zone-Meister: Leadership shall be passed on soon, and as for Usagi they are going to get their back story and explanation on their behavior. I just hope you are ready for some plot twists.
joshuarsolis: Thank you my friend, I am very happy that you consider me one of your favorites. Oh and also thank you for supporting the idea of not having Rias in such a positive view, people don't like me making her seem more devil like.
Okay now that that is done, a poll shall be set up for the choice of Serafall Leviathan. If she becomes an love interest or not. Now that is announced, I want to say that I am very thankful for the help and support you guys shown to me since the beginning of the story so thank you.
Chapter 5: Memoirs
Blood. That was all there was in the closely built society of the Usagi Youkai located deep in Mount Fuji, ones blood would determine many things and especially a place in the system that governed the Youkai residing deep in the mountain. The system of hierarchy was what the founder and leader of the Youkai set up. With the ruling Youkai at the top of the system and at the bottom was none other than the Hanyou Youkai. Hanyou were filth in the eyes of the "Pure Blooded" Usagi, they were nothing more than simple animals. Hanyou's in their eyes were considered to be tainting the blood of the Usagi, though it was highly irrational the ruling Youkai or the chief simply allowed it to continue as they shared similar views with the rest of the Usagi. Blood was the key factor in which position one would take due to the system of hierarchy the previous chief's had set up. Those events led to the downfall of the most powerful family in the group of Usagi Youkai. The Rakku family or better yet the descendant of the original chief, due to their superiority complex they had allowed the power and fame gained by their ancestor to simply convince them they were invincible. The Hanyou were not pleased with the mistreatment, for years they had endured but now there would be a breaking point. It was like a balloon, the more air blown into it the larger it got but soon once it reached its limit the balloon would explode.
That was what had happened, the Hanyou banned together and rebelled when one of the Rakku had used his authority as one of the "Noble Families" and taken advantage of a Hanyou taking her maidenhood. Though it was nothing new, anger still burned in the hearts of the Hanyou; being treated like dirt since the establishment of the society had weaved hatred into their hearts. All of their contained hatred from the years of mistreatment had broken out and it was the driving force in their rebellion. The rebellion shocked the Usagi to a degree they had never expected the Hanyou to rebel so they were not ready. Result of their negligence and cruel governing the death count of the Usagi double the amount of casualties of Hanyou. Once the rebellion was over, the group of Hanyou escaped from the settlement and made their way out of Mount Fuji. Hatred from the Usagi Youkai had caused the exiled group issues along the way, being hunted by the Usagi for the lives they had taken; not only that but having little to no experience with the actual world due to their isolation in the mountain. Years continued as the Usagi finally caught the wondering group of Hanyou's and a battle would rage between the two groups. Being resourceful with their skills and abilities in Youjutsu, the exiled group managed to escape once more from death but their leader was killed in the progress. Having to elect an new leader, the choice was anonymous as Kaguya Otsutsuki was elected taking command. Under her leadership, they would gain a new style of fighting. Fuijutsu, the amazing skill would be the changing factor in their struggle for survival. Though the exiled group of Hanyou were lacking strength, they gained something equally as powerful. Knowledge. Without power in their hands they found the next best thing, knowledge. This new factor played a major role in their future as Kaguya ordered the members of the group to create a portal, it was something she had thought of when studying the Dimensional Gap.
Success with the creation of a portal allowing them access to a new world, the group bid goodbye to their old world and stepped into a new one. How could they not choose this decision, their old world hated them and with the Usagi hunting and tormenting them for their very existence what Kaguya had ordered and created was like a gift from the heavens.
Naruto did not know how to feel about it, his clans elder generation despised the system of hierarchy along with how the Devil Faction's ruling body. The idea of valuing blood over all did not sit well with them, Naruto knew it was due to their own past; pain and hatred still burned brightly in the hearts of the Otsutsuki clan, and he could not blame them. Hearing what his mother has told him of the horrific conditions they had to endure and the mistreatment from ones with "Pure Blood" did not sit well with him. He loved his clan, they were his family. Kaguya had raised him to value family out of everything else, and so hearing how his family was treated in the past made his blood boil. And to add to the hatred that was building in the clans hearts, they had made an attempt on his life which fueled the fires burning in their hearts. Having a lot on his mind Naruto decided to train, it was one way to think clearly. Currently he was going through the motions of a kata as his mind wondered on about the upcoming conflict. But that was not only the reason for his training, it was almost time for the ceremony.
"Naruto-kun, that is enough training for now." a voice stopped him as he stood up straight and turned to face his mother. Kaguya gave her son a nod as she approached him. Though she was no expert, the feeling of uneasiness was evident in Naruto's heart, it was expected. Walking towards her son, she placed a hand on his shoulder getting him to look at her, "Do not worry my son, you will be a great clan head. I will be by your side along the way, as an acting adviser if you need me. You are not like your brothers, they were foolish enough to trust the savages from the other world. I have raised you to be better than that."
"That is not the reason for my distress, Kaa-chan." Naruto replied as he released a sigh and a slight frown formed on his face, "I am just worried about Yasaka, she may have been foolish to do something like this but she had good intentions. Maybe if we extend an hand to help, she might join our side."
"Do not be foolish my son, that is not how I raised you." Kaguya responded as her delicate features shifted into a slight frown. Looking at her son, she could see his loyalty to his friends, though they were low in numbers he proved to be willing to protect them with the power he possessed, "Yasaka must choose if she joins us or helps the Usagi. You are loyal to your friends, and that is a good thing my son. But you must know that a leader will do things he or she may not be proud of, for the betterment of their people it must be done."
"I understand a leader must make decisions for that benefit the majority. But I will not give up, though she may be foolish I shall protect her and Kunou if I cannot do that then what clan head will I be?" Naruto questioned as he began walking back towards the compound before turning to face Kaguya once more, "Besides, you know I will do something rash if it meant I would be protecting the ones I care for."
'As the Greek demigods possess, you seem to have your own fatal flaw. Your loyalty towards your friends and family will be your downfall, foolish son. I shall crush that flaw if it is the last thing I do.' Kaguya thought as she released a sigh watching her sons retreating figure before he vanished into the compound she walked in the opposite direction, she was needed elsewhere. The issue involving Naruto would have to wait till later, for now she had to meet with the allies and see if they were willing to participate in the upcoming war. Though with extra help it would heighten their chance of victory, but then again the chances of them losing was practically zero percent. No help was needed, but it would be best to lower casualties her clan may suffer in upcoming battles between them and the Usagi.
Warfare was a horrible thing. In the eyes of Naruto nobody won in a war, both sides lost a piece of themselves when the war would end. Wars seemed like the idea breeding ground for hatred, losing ones precious to oneself would bring forth fury from the heart. It was always the same thing, all wars were fought between two sides with hidden intentions; it was expected, after all the victor gained advantages that outweighed the losses in result of the victory. Nobody was perfect as shown through the countless wars that were waged between rulers of different countries, and other wars the ancient Greeks waged against the Trojans; the reason for war in Naruto's eyes was petty, thousands were killed for a single woman. Now it brought him to the topic of possible warfare in this era, his clan would declare war against the Usagi Youkai for the scars dealt to them in the past. He had felt as if he was intruding in something between two people, and it was true. Having not experienced what the elder generation of the clan had been through he could not judge any of them. Yet he was connected with the situation due to the attempt on his life and simply being born into the Otsutsuki clan. Though he had mixed feelings about their attempt on his life, he did not believe something like that would be enough to convince him to participate in the war; he could not simply not participate either as it was his duty as the heir of the clan to join in the upcoming battles. It was too late to try and convince the clan to simply stop their preparations for war, they had been whipped into a frenzy and were now calling out for blood of their enemies.
It was all too hard. Others would suffer between the clash of the two forces and collateral damage would be high, it was simply a prediction with the power his clan possessed it was likely. In the eyes of many, war against the Otsutsuki clan was suicide. Fear was a byproduct of power, yet this factor did not do much to effect the Usagi Youkai as they called for blood. Even if though they stood no chance against the clan that held the position as the most powerful clan, they were still willing to fight. Either it was an extreme amount of arrogance in their combat capabilities or they had something up their sleeves that would allow them to win against a clan of that caliber. Both possibilities did not sit well with Naruto, arrogance he simply hated it in general but it was the second possibility that he was wary of. If a supernatural group had a weapon or ability of some sort that could endanger a clan as powerful as his was unsettling. That alone would shift the power in favor of a single supernatural group, though it was like that now since the Otsutsuki clan held the title as the most powerful clan. Though they held major influence over weaker supernatural groups, they did not abuse the power. History involving the Usagi Youkai and their leadership capabilities was not so bright, and if one group such as them were given such power and authority, abuse of it would soon follow repeating what had happened before in the past.
Then again many, many factors played an role in the outcome and thus he could not conclude history would repeat itself. Though he did not deem them a threat as of yet it was still astounding how one supernatural group would be willing to face off against his clan. No matter what he decided, he was going to have to participate in the war. Naruto could be considered naive due to he was simply budding and held no experience in the relation between the two groups, even so he wished to resolve this another way. Not that he cared for the Usagi, no he simply did not but he cared for the Youkai that would be caught in between their bad blood. That was it, he did not wish to drag no one that was not involved with the issue into something that they had no relations with. And worst of all, Yasaka and Kunou were being caught in it, though Yasaka was being foolish and allowing her ideals to simply bypass logic and reason she was still a friend. Naruto knew that Yasaka was doing the right thing in her mind but it simply backfired.
"Naruto." Yasaka greeted in a slight nod as she sat behind her desk looking at the new arrival with a blank expression on her face. Though she attempted to simply hide her nervousness. The relations between them had been downhill since her announcement of uniting the Youkai Branches. Yasaka knew that Naruto would not be fooled so easily yet she still tried to hide the nervousness building up, "What are you doing here. Last time your clan had cut off all connections with the Kyoto Branch."
"This is a personal meeting." Naruto responded as he stared at Yasaka with an impassive expression, "I am not here on behalf of my clan, I am simply here to meet with you and discuss Kunou's and your future. Yasaka, break the agreement with the Youkai; you will not win against our clan, even with forces such as that Kaa-chan and I can simply wipe them out with a single technique. I do not wish for either you or Kunou to be hurt."
"Then please convince your clan that it is best to work under a single banner!" Yasaka shouted as her blank expression broke and was replaced by a desperate one.
"No." Naruto immediately responded as his impassive mask turned into a frown. Shaking his head, Naruto sighed, "I cannot Yasaka. Though I do not know how the elder generation of my clan are feeling, I can understand this must be done. Even if I tried, that would not stop Kaa-chan from reversing my actions and whip them into a war frenzy once more. You must understand I cannot against my own family, that is why you join us or not at all."
"You're asking me to simply join you when I have already asked all the surrounding Youkai groups to join under a single leader." Yasaka said to herself as a conflicted look formed on her face. Debating over the issue, she found both pros and cons in both. Her decision had drove a wedge between her and Naruto's relationship and it hurt, but she was the leader putting her Yasaka shook her head with a forced smile on her face, "I have to refuse that offer Naruto-kun. If I did join, all the trust from the other Youkai would be lost; not only that but I cannot simply betray that trust they placed on me."
Naruto was silent for some time as he finally released as sigh, "Very well then. The next time we meet pray it is on pleasant terms, you are a friend I do not wish to have your blood on my hands."
"Naruto-"
"Goodbye Yasaka."
Naruto taking a walk around the city of Kyoto, clearing his mind as more and more frustration built up inside of his heart. Yasaka was a friend and if he could help her in any way he would, but if he did it would simply go against his family which was something he would never do. A frustrated growl escaped his lips as he sent a kick towards the nearest object in his vicinity. His foot impacting against the base of a tree, leaves fluttered downwards from the force behind his kick. As the leaves danced across the calm air, a zephyr passed through and directed the leaves to another direction. 'Why are you so stubborn Yasaka! If you had accepted the damned offer I could protect both you and Kunou from the other Youkai!' Naruto thought in frustration as he released another growl and kicked the tree once more.
"Why must you people be so loud?" a voice questioned from his behind. Naruto turned immediately to face the source of the voice, and it surprised him to see who it was. The one who spoke was a cute young girl with long black hair that reached down to her hips and gray eyes and was dressed in a Gothic Lolita outfit. The young girl seeing the slightly surprised look on Naruto's face spoke, "You are surprised by my appearance?"
'Dammit I let my emotions cloud my mind and someone managed to sneak up on me, not just anyone but her of all people.' Naruto thought in frustration as a scowl form on his face. Reigning in his emotions, Naruto took a deep breathe and spoke, "Yes, I am surprised. Kaa-chan described your appearance of an old man not a little girl, Ophis the Ouroboros Dragon."
"Your mother has spoken about my abilities has she not?" the newly named Ophis questioned as she held the emotionless expression on her face looking at the blonde waiting for an answer.
"Yes, she has. But what I imagined you to be was an old man, I assume you have changed your appearance since then." Naruto answered as he prepared for the worst, standing before him was one of the most powerful entities in the entire world. His mother being up there, he was still not her level yet so an confrontation with Ophis would not end well for him, so he had to play his cards right to avoid an fight. Looking at the emotionless dragon he decided to continue the conversation, "If I may ask, why are you here Ophis?"
"I am here to give you an invitation." Ophis responded simply. Seeing his curiosity spike, she decided to elaborate, "As you see I am creating a group. This group will help me accomplish my goal and rid my home of Great Red."
"And what will I get from this?" Naruto asked, he would be lying if he said the offer did not interest him. Though a part of him questioned her motives, if she was asking for such a thing speaking to his mother would have been better as she was the acting clan head. Either she was trying to convince him to betray his clan or she had already offered a position in her group to his mother.
"You will get what you desire most." Ophis said as a snake slithered from her sleeves and onto her hand visible for the blonde to see.
Naruto eyed the snake warily as he thought of the offer before shaking his head in a negative gesture, "No, I must decline the offer, but I am curious what do you believe that I desire most Ophis."
"You are a strange one." Ophis commented as she stared at him before she opened her mouth to speak once more, "My offer still stands Naruto. When you make up your mind, come find me and the Khaos Brigade."
With those words spoke, Ophis disappeared right before his eyes leaving him alone with his thoughts. 'The Khaos Brigade, with Ophis as the leader then that group would be a danger to us.' Naruto thought as his eyes narrowed and he vanished in a swirl of leaves.
A teen with with pale skin, shaggy white hair, attractive facial features, and six magatama designs tattooed on his collarbone; his eyes were strange as they held enlarged and featureless irides with no pupils. He wore the typical outfit of the Otsutsuki clan he wore an white, high-collared kimono with a black obi, over which he wears a pale green sash tied to his right shoulder. On the back of his kimono was the crest of the Otsutsuki clan branch family, an yellow crest depicting a sun enclosed in a crescent moon. Beneath the robes he wore black finger-less gloves, long black pants and black shinobi sandals. This was Toneri Otsutsuki, a member of the Otsutsuki clan branch family and surrogate brother of Naruto Otsutsuki. As a member of the branch family, he kept his eyes due to the new law passed down by Kaguya Otsutsuki as they had traveled back into the world of their origins. His eyes were very common among the members of both families, they were the Byakugan. These eyes allowed them 360 degree field vision, except a small spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. It not only allowed the user 360 degree field vision, but it also allowed them to see through solid objects and allowed them to see the flow of energy through the user. His eyes were dubbed as the Byakugan.
Toneri at the moment was moving towards a meeting spot that Naruto had set up with him in Tokyo. They were meeting up for some reason, but Toneri did not question him they always did something crazy once in a while and he would be questioning Naruto if they did not do something crazy. Arriving at the address he had been given, the building housed many apartments and the specific room number that Naruto had given him was at the top level of the building. Knocking on the door, Toneri heard a bit of movement before sounds of locks being removed were audible. After what seemed like minutes, the door opened revealing someone Toneri knew very well. Standing there was Hou, dressed in his traditional Chinese robes and boots as the Monkey Youkai blinked a few times before gesturing for the white haired teen to come inside. Once the two entered, they went to the living room of the apartment and sat down on the seats offered, an awkward silence filled the room as the two glanced at each other without speaking a single word. The silence was broken when a swirl of leaves appeared in the room signalling the arrival of Naruto. Once the leaves stopped and revealed Naruto, the former blonde walked towards the two and plopped himself down beside Toneri.
"I'm glad you two got here so quickly." Naruto said quite pleased as he reached into his kimono and pulled out a scroll. Tossing it to Hou, who glanced at it for a few seconds before unrolling it on the coffee table, "As you both know our clan is about to declare war on the Usagi Youkai. And I want to stop it before there are unnecessary casualties."
Hou looked at his best friend strangely before speaking, "Naruto, you know that I will always stand by your side but how are we going to stop this war. From what I saw, your clan is ready for blood. Not only that, but if we did we would be going against your mother and I don't know if you noticed but she if scary with her freaky eyes."
"I agree with Hou-san, Naruto-nii-san." Toneri voiced his thoughts as he looked at the Otsutsuki clan heir with an unreadable expression, "Our clan is ready for the war, and they seem happy for blood of the Usagi Youkai. Naruto-nii-san, if you do so Kaguya-sama would not be pleased with actions to stop the upcoming war."
"I know." Naruto responded as he got their attention. Placing a hand on the scroll, Naruto pushed a bit of chakra into the seal and a poof of smoke appeared accompanying the smoke was a map of the surrounding area. Unfolding the folded map, Naruto laid a finger on Mount Fuji , "That is why I simply wish to eliminate the enemy before we could begin amassing our forces and before they complete amassing their forces. Mount Fuji, west of Tokyo would be one of their potential headquarters and I wish to destroy the settlement there before the beginning of the war."
"Naruto, you're crazy. If we destroy the settlement there then it would simply be an act of war before we have enough time to amass a force to combat their own." Hou said his voice raised and his face filled with disbelief, "Toneri, don't you agree with me that this is a crazy plan?"
"Again, I have to agree with Hou-san, Naruto-nii-san. It would not be beneficial for us if we were to attack before we could prepare for war." Toneri tried to reason with his surrogate brother.
"Yes, you are correct. It would be foolish to simply attack when our forces are not even ready for warfare." Naruto nodded his head in acknowledgement of the reasons the two had spoke about, "But we are not going as ourselves. We shall go hidden by a disguise and for extra security, Toneri shall place us under an illusion."
"That could work." Hou mumbled as he pondered on the idea, it would be beneficial if they were able to cripple the enemy before the war even began. And the idea Naruto was proposing could be effective. After a few minutes pondering the idea, Hou responded to the proposal with a smile on his face, "You know I could use the exercise, I'm up for destroying an enemy settlement."
"Those conditions favor our side. I shall join you two in your task of destroying the enemy headquarters." Toneri nodded his head in agreement as he turned his head to face Naruto.
"Good." Naruto said quite pleased with their decision. Placing his hand on the other seal, Naruto quickly pushed chakra to the three other seals and soon three masks appeared with the smoke. Grabbing the mask the represented a fox, Naruto held it up for the three to see, "These are going to hide our identities, I made sure the material used to craft these are very durable and could survive through fire. Once we place the masks on, Toneri will place an illusion over us as he is the best with them out of all three of us present."
"So, how are we going to attack." Hou asked as he grabbed the bird mask forcing Toneri to get hold of the rat mask.
"From the stories and information Kaa-chan has told me about the original settlement that the Usagi Youkai created. Located deep in Mount Fuji, they created it so there would be no mortals bothering them. The only issue we would face infiltrating their settlement would be sentries posted around the fort that they have erected around the buildings. We could simply incapacitate or eliminate them it does not matter which you decide to do, once the sentries are eliminated we can simply destroy the headquarters then. Using the surprise from our attack we will go in and out, do not bother spending any longer than necessary there the longer we stay the higher the chance our identities will be revealed."
"So basically when we get rid of all the guards then we can do whatever we want." Hou said as he summarized up the entire operation as a grin spread across his face, "Naruto, I have to ask why bring us along when you can do all of that destroying on your own.
"To answer your question, I can destroy the base on my own. But I need you for something else I am planning." Naruto responded as he turned to look at Toneri, "I need you Toneri to scout all of the buildings to find some sort of weapon."
"Weapon?" Toneri questioned.
"Yes, I have reason to believe that they might have built a weapon that would help them win the war." Naruto answered as his face shifted into a frown. Looking at the map and studying the area around Mount Fuji, "Hou and I shall distract them by destroying their base while you Toneri look for anything that might be a danger to the clan."
"Understood." Both of them said in unison.
Naruto, Hou, and Toneri were all masked and cloaked under an illusion. They were hidden by the shadows as the three approached the fort situated deep in Mount Fuji. The three shared a nod as they split up and proceeded with the plan. Naruto created some clones, ordering them to take out the sentries while he stayed behind. It was not long before memories came flooding into his mind when the clones dispelled, pushing chakra to his eyes they soon shifted from blue to light purple irides with ripple eye pattern that spread over his eyeball. Slamming his palm onto the ground bellow him a large seal appeared and soon a massive plume of smoke followed. The smoke cleared to reveal a massive dog with multiple heads with all brown colored fur, black covering its mouths, and razor sharp fangs. Like him every head had a pair of Rinnegan, Naruto stood on one of the heads as he mentally commanded the beast forward. Breaking through the wall, the dog destroyed buildings with a swing of its paw.
Waves of enemy forces poured out of the buildings as they came to combat the source of the destruction. Screams and shouts mixed with the sound of destruction as the massive dog continued on its path of destruction, Naruto watched the action unfold on top of the summons head. Naruto's instincts kicked in as he leaned to the side to avoid a blast of magic energy. Turning to find the source of it, his eyes caught a group of Usagi Youkai standing on top of a building. Jumping off of his summons head, Naruto directed himself towards the enemy group. Hopping over rooftops, the former blonde dodged magic blasts as he finally made his way towards the enemies. Meeting heavy resistance, he used seals to shield himself from more attacks; the enemy continued their barrage of magical attacks until Naruto decided it was enough. Forming a few clones, he had them engage the enemy providing him with time to go on the offensive. His clones were forcefully dispelled but they had done their job, Naruto punched one of the enemies and kicked him backwards. Naruto then sent a sweeping kick at an approaching enemy knocking her to the ground, not allowing her the chance to recover he punched her with an chakra powered fist.
"You got to be careful, I wont always be there to save you." Hou's voice called out towards Naruto as the Otsutsuki heir turned to see Hou standing over a few unconscious Usagi Youkai.
"Please, I could have taken care of them without your help." Naruto responded as he rolled his eyes.
"So, is this according to the plan?" Hou asked as he turned his gaze towards the massive multi-headed dog on a rampage. Naruto followed his gaze and looked at the destruction with a blank look.
"I'd be lying if I said things are going according to plan... But beggars can't be choosers, right?" Naruto questioned as his eyes caught the sight of a beam of light blue lightning shoot up into the sky, "That's Toneri, looks like he found something of importance."
"What do we do now?" Hou asked as he readied his Bo staff and looked towards his masked friend his curiosity shrouded by his mask.
"We finish what we started." Naruto replied as he formed a hand sign and the multi-headed dog began multiplying and forming separate bodies with singular heads, "Hou, let us rendezvous with Toneri before we continue with the destruction. He may have some useful information from his little scouting trip."
Hou nodded as he followed his best friend across the rooftops and towards the origin of the beacon. Taking out enemy forces along the way, the duo managed to reach Toneri who was standing in between a group of unconscious Usagi Youkai. Nodding to his surrogate brother, Naruto greeted him in kind as the three regrouped and now were planning their next move.
"It seems you did not find a weapon." Naruto observed as he looked at Toneri waiting for an answer. Hou followed his example as he too waited.
"Nothing about a weapon. But I did find something that would interest us." Toneri said as he pulled out a sealing scroll and handed it to Naruto who took it and looked at it curiously before turning his attention to Toneri again, "Inside are maps with some of their bases marked and more importantly information about the ceremony for the next leader of the Usagi Youkai."
A huge smile formed on Naruto's face as he happily secured the scroll, "That is great! Good job Toneri, now we have another advantage. Now lets finish this job before dawn approaches."
It was not long before the once proud settlement was reduced to piles of rubble and dust. That was the sight a force of Usagi Youkai arrived to witness, not a single living was spotted near the destruction. The ones responsible for this was nowhere in sight, it was not only a blow strategically to them but also it was a blow to their moral. One of their most powerful settlements/bases was wiped out in a single night leaving nothing but rubble and dust behind. Worst of all, they did not know who or what had done it.
"So, what's our next move?" Hou asked as he leaned back against the couch twirling his mask around as he looked towards Naruto.
"How do you guys feel about crashing a party?"
