Authors Note: Sup it's me and before I get started on the chapter I want to say thanks to the person who gave me the informative review (you know who you are). Now it's not bad for those who didn't read it it's really helpful for me so I can make the story better for you guys and so it helps me improve on writing and I can fully admit after reading the review that there were some things wrong when I went I back to check somethings or when I truly thought about it.
Some of the ideas you said are really good and I'll use the toshinroi example cause one I never would have thought of that and two I already had some people in mind but I just didn't think that far ahead.
I'll also do my best with the narration and try to add as few notes in the middle of the story as possible. I'll also try to keep Naruto out of the background sorry if it came out like that but it's in the past and I'll try and improve for later chapters and this one as well.
Also as lazy as this will be I think for Naruto having the romantic ties it would be best that Naruto already had them while he lived for 48,017 years because it makes more sense that way than to just randomly bring it up unless a character would ask him about it but some of them can be in flashbacks that Naruto will have when thinking about his past years.
Speaking of romantic ties I think I won't just cut out Naruto not having one during this era cause then he would technically truly date only two women in the entire story that will be mentioned and not some flashback. As for who it will be it's not Merlin but thinking back I think I will make it Jerhico unless you have someone else.
That's it for this information so on with the chapter and I'll do my best to improve be at the bottom.
Chapter 19-Getting Diane's Hammer and The Consequences of the Reaper.
Two weeks after Hidan's deal
It's been two weeks since Hidan's deal with the Reaper and he's been sleeping so his body can handle his power. Naruto woke up three days after he passed out and reassured everyone that he was fine he just used too much energy while training and the after-effects didn't come back to him until later on.
During the time he was asleep the sins manage to find out where Diane's hammer was located and it was in the town of Vaizel.
"Hey Merlin, what kind of Consequences will happen to Hidan if wakes up before the month is over?" Naruto asked as he was curious of what would happen. He knew most of the powers that the Reaper had but he didn't know what kind of punishments would happen should something interfere with the deal or anything apart of it.
"Honestly I do not know. His powers are so grand that Hidan could easily lose his soul, he could be reverted into a child to an old man or he could even lose parts of his soul. The consequences are limitless." Merlin replied as she truly didn't know what would happen as it all depends on the Grim Reaper himself, the person's past, and the mood he's in.
"Well, we can only hope the idiot doesn't wake up before then." Ban butted into their conversation as he was eavesdropping nearby with a drink in his hand as they made their way out the door.
They were outside the town of Vaizel and Hawk's mom had already buried herself into the ground as everyone left the tavern and headed for the town except Orochimaru and Escanor as he wanted to conduct more experiments but had asked for some new clothes as being in the same outfit for such a long time gets boring and plain. Escanor had no reason to leave so he decided to stay inside.
In Vaizel
In the town, they had found many merchant shops but they had easily found Diane's hammer embedded in a wall.
They had also found out that a tournament was being held and the prize was for her hammer so Ban, Meliodas, and Naruto decided to enter...while forcefully entering King as they all made their way towards the signup sheets.
While they were waiting in line Merlin went out to buy some food per the request of Ban and Naruto while Diane and Elizabeth went out to try and find some new clothing for Orochimaru.
Gowther was just tagging along with Diane and Elizabeth as he wanted to find a book for himself.
As the guys were sighing up Naruto noticed a couple of Holy Knights behind the people they were in front of and made sure King, Meliodas, and Ban noticed without drawing attention to themselves.
Two men and one woman. One was Howzer as he came for fighting strong opponents and the other was a very bulky man with neck-length grey hair and yellow eyes, this was Griamore and he was a friend to Howzer and Gilthunder despite the latter not being with them.
The woman had violet hair and hazel eyes. She had a sword in her back and she was shorter than the two men with her she wasn't competing in the tournament just making sure that her companions didn't screw up. This was secretly Princess Veronica Liones but no one noticed as she was wearing something a princess would never wear.
"Oi, you guys are gonna have to change your names so those Holy Knights don't recognize you." Naruto whispered as he was talking to Meliodas who had a blank look on his face while King took this seriously...as for Ban he was already filling out the name sheets.
"Alright...and DONE!" Ban yelled startling a few people including his friends who were looking at him wondering if he was really listening to their Conversation.
"Ban...you were listening right?" Naruto asked as he knew Ban would punch first and ask questions later...assuming his opponent wasn't already dead.
"Yeah yeah I was listening and changed our names according to our personality." Ban said smiling widely showing off the fangs in his teeth. This did not reassure Naruto as he was still skeptical about it but would worry about it later they had to get ready for the preliminary round for only eight people can move forward.
"HOLD ON!" A man yelled gaining the attention of everyone as he approached Naruto's group and looked down on them. A Gaint buff bald man appeared as he looked displeased by them being here.
"Yeah, and who the hell are you?" Naruto asked clearly annoyed by the man and he was used to being looked at like this it as a child so he wasn't bothered by it all that much. Meliodas put his hand on Naruto's shoulder calming him down as he decided to talk to him before things got out of hand.
"What can we do for you, good sir?" Meliodas asked in his normal cheerful attitude as the man looked even more displeased at seeing him.
"I'm Taizoo a three-time champion here I believe you should leave as having two children a teenager and technically the only man here, it would be insulting to this tournament if you compete." Taizoo said clearly angered by this while Meliodas didn't care King was slightly annoyed at being called a child, Naruto was just thinking of ways to get this man during the preliminary and Ban also didn't care as he was planning on winning the tournament.
"Hey c'mon let them participate. Age shouldn't matter in a fight right?" Howzer walked up to them as he placed a hand on Taizoo's shoulder but pulled back noticing the glare he got from him.
"Tch. Don't blame me for what happens." Taizoo finished as he walked off towards the arena where a few other competitors were waiting as a crowd starting forming around the arena.
"Thanks for the help." Meliodas said grinning away without a care in the world as Naruto was just sighing at his friend's carefree attitude. Naruto just left them as King followed him as they went towards the arena.
With Diane, Elizabeth, and Gowther
The girls plus one guy were still searching for new clothes for Orochimaru as most places sold food, ingredients for food, or Magical items.
Gowther manage to find the book he wanted and was now helping the girls find clothes. But after some point Gowther became confused, he knew they were searching for clothes for Orochimaru but for every piece of clothing he showed them they shot it down quickly and left.
"How about this?" Gowther asked bringing out a white Kimono with a dark green belt that was wrapped around the waist that also came with sandals.
Diane looked at it and she had to admit this was the first good thing Gowther managed to pick out...then again it was the only good thing out of the three of them to find something that was decent. Elizabeth had to agree with Diane and said that he might like this.
"Then let us go." Gowther said as he had the Kimono over his shoulder and walked off...without paying and this caused the merchant to get angry and while he was going to take it out on the girls he realized they disappeared as well.
"Those damn brats!" The man yelled getting some looks from others his cheeks became red from embarrassment as he calmed down...till one of the fighters came crashing down onto his stand unconscious.
Taizoo was the fighter who came crashing down. Now you may be wondering how did a strong fighter like him get launched out of the arena as he was a three-time champion...well.
Couple minutes ago
Everyone was getting ready for the tournament to start as a few were talking with each other, others were betting on who would win. The fighters were also talking with each other but knew they would have to team up to try and take down a few people while others were just looking at who to expect in the next round.
Naruto, Ban, and Meliodas were just stretching while King was trying to make himself look smaller than he already is so he can try and pretend he was knocked off. Meliodas saw this and devised a scheme to have King fight.
"Hey, King." Meliodas said as King looked over but Naruto and Ban also looked over curious as to what he was going to say. "I can tell you don't wanna fight but think about how Diane will feel if you manage to get her hammer back." Meliodas said as King started having a fantasy of how Diane will react.
"I WILL WIN!" King said as he was surrounded by fire but he also reverted to how he normally looks but Meliodas, Naruto and Ban just chuckled at his sudden motivation.
"Hey Ban, how come your wearing the cooking apron?" Naruto asked as he only now noticed that Ban was not wearing his overly tight red jacket but was just wearing the Tavern's apron.
"Oh, well you see I actually tore it up pretty bad during my sleep after the drinking contest with Hidan so for now I guess I'll just wear...this." Ban said as saw a guy who was wearing the same overly tight red jacket except that it fit the man perfectly...what a coincidence.
"That's mine" Ban thought as he smiled getting ready to steal-I mean ask politely for the jacket...yes, that's what I meant.
"Ok, you guys here are the rules...THERE ARE NO RULES EXCEPT NO USING WEAPONS! OK READY...BEGIN!" A very short man with a high-pitched voice yelled as he was wearing a helmet and had a red cloth on a little over his knees, he was the referee and his name was Love Helm.
As the fight began many people were sent flying out of the ring but Ban immediately dashed towards the man with his new Jacket. Naruto and Meliodas were just slapping people out of the ring...literally.
King was just hiding behind some people as they were getting thrown around but would sometimes just push somebody off and wander away as if it was a ghost.
King can admit that he wasn't the greatest of fighters when it came to physical combat (not that it wasn't already obvious) and that he was only good at long range because of his Sacred Treasure.
"It's time I threw you out!" Taizoo said as he ran up to Naruto ready to punch him out as he was readying his fist back. He got closer punched Naruto so hard that he created a small shockwave clearing a few fighters.
Taizoo smirked as he thought he just sent Naruto into the next Era...but his smirked faded when he saw Naruto blocking his punch with his finger.
"My Turn." Naruto said as he punched Taizoo out of the arena and into a merchant's store destroying most of the products.
"Naruto did you have to go that far, I mean I knew you were kinda upset earlier and a little angry but really." Meliodas said as he had his hand in a saluting stance looking at where Taizoo landed.
"Well at the very least he won't underestimate his opponents again." Ban said as he came up with his new jacket as Naruto already knew what Ban did to get it and Meliodas just chuckled at his antics as they just decided to sit down and let everyone else knock themselves out.
"That reminds me where's King?" Meliodas asked as he was looking around for the Fairy but couldn't find among the men that were brawling for dust clouds were forming.
Just then a giant man came through as he was rolling a bunch of other men who tried to jump him were currently rolling to the edge of the arena where coincidental King just so happened to walk by.
King noticed a second too late as he was wrapped up with them still holding onto his pillow as the dust settled the men were thrown out of the ring.
Love Helm noticed that half of the men were thrown out of the ring and began to speak. "Well, folks it seems as if we've come down to the last few people." He spoke as someone started counting and only saw seven people and this threw worry as they needed eight people to participate.
"Hey look, that kids floating!" A random man shouted as he looked at King who was using his pillow to float and save himself as everyone was calling the ref to disqualify him.
"Well since it's not a weapon it's not against the rules, I'll allow it!" Love Helm said as many people groaned saying that King was cheating but their complaints were ignored.
"Nice way to cheat." Meliodas said giving him the thumbs up as Ban was giggling saying he didn't think he would ever see him cheat while Naruto was also chuckling he was wondering about who is the last competitor.
"D-Don't...(hic)...c-count me out!" A drunk old man yelled as he was sitting down having a drink in his sipping away without a care in the world. Naruto slightly sweatdropped at the sight and couldn't help but compare the old drunk to Tsunade who would blow off her paperwork to drink.
"She's probably up there drinking away right now." Naruto thought as Love helm spoke calling all the winning fighters back towards where they signed up so they could draw lots on who they would fight.
One by one the fighters made their way towards the signup area to draw lots to see who they would fight for the actual tournament.
"Ok guys just take one of the straws and the matchups are decided when you get the same letter as someone else!" Love Helm yelled as everyone drew their slots. As they were drawing lots King just remembered that Naruto pointed out Holy Knights earlier and Ban was the one who signed them up.
"Ban you didn't enter us under our actual names did you!?" King whispered/yelled making sure he didn't just give themselves away by putting their real names.
"Don't worry I changed our names even Naruto's just for safe measure." Ban said while King relaxed only a little Naruto was wondering what name Ban gave them all but love helm called out to them.
"Ok guys here is the match-up for the first round!" Love Helm yelled again calling out Gaining everyone's attention as they were waiting to hear the first round.
"Fox Boy Vs Griamore!" Naruto immediately turned to Ban as he was fuming at him for changing his name to Fox Boy but decided to take his anger out on Griamore as he looked over at him they were just staring each other down.
"Round two is...Howzer Vs Eric!" Love Hell yelled out again as Howzer looked over at Eric as he was wearing simple clothes, shorts, and a white shirt. He didn't look strong but Howzer could feel his power.
"This will be fun." Howzer thought as he listened in for the next rounds of fighters.
"Round Three is Cain Vs... Old Fart!" Love Helm yelled out as King stifled a giggle as he was wondering who in their right mind would call themselves old fart.
"Three guesses." Ban whispered as King realized that he was Old Fart and was currently trying to "kill" Ban for calling him that.
"Hey, our names haven't been called yet?" Meliodas said as he was wondering who his opponent was and the same was for Ban until they came to the realization.
"And the Final Match is Meliodaf Vs Baan!" Love Helm finished as Meliodas and Ban were grinning at each but then Meliodas came to realize his name.
"Ban what's with the names couldn't you have come up with better ones?" Meliodas asked as had his hands behind his head while Naruto was still upset that his name was Fox Boy but King said that "Fox Boy" was better than "Old Fart".
"Well, you guys let's get the first match up underway!" Love Helm said as everyone made their way back towards the arena.
At the Arena
Naruto and Griamore were currently standing off from each other as everyone else was standing aside to watch the fight. Hawk at some point was at the arena selling some of the Tavern's Ale for some money as he had a barrel of alcohol on his back.
"The first match we have today is a teenager with hair white as snow who's weighing in at 121 pounds and 5'11 we have Fox Boy!" Love Helm yelled as everyone cheered but Naruto couldn't help but look down at being called Fox Boy as in his mind Kuruma was snickering.
"Well Fox Boy, show them why you're called that." Kuruma said as Naruto only sighed as Kuruma laughed at his dismay then their referee started to say Griamore's height and weight.
"And his opponent with a staggering height 7'0 feet tall and weighing in at 400 pounds is Griamore!" He yelled out as the crowd cheered for him as the both of them got ready.
"Alright, both competitors ready...BEGIN!" Love Helm yelled as Naruto dashed forward catching Griamore off guard with his speed and punched him in his stomach sending him back a few feet.
Griamore stopped himself and ran back and punched Naruto at his side but Naruto blocked and kicked him in his side then punched him again in his stomach but this time he added some chakra into his fist knocking the wind out of him sending him to his knees.
"Oh man! Fox Boy is really putting Grimore on the ropes despite his size and how he looks while Griamore has barely done a thing!" Love Helm yelled as many people were cheering at the fight as Griamore got up.
" I must say...your a worthy fighter...but my conviction to protect Lady Veronica is greater so I must insist you leave this ring!" Griamore yelled as he activated his magical power and a barrier appeared around him as he increased it crushing the flat surface they were on Turing it into a small crater.
Naruto was being pushed back towards the edge of the arena as he was struggling to keep himself from going over.
"Looks like Griamore won't be going down without a fight!" Love Helm yelled as everyone was currently intrigued at how "Fox Boy" was going to try and get out of this.
Naruto actually had a way to get out of this but he needed to time this right or else he would allow Griamore to attack him and possibly knock him out of the ring.
Just as Naruto was nearing the edge he quickly sent chakra to his legs for more strength and bounces off the ground landing on top of Griamore's wall.
"Look at that leap! Fox Boy certainly isn't just fast and strong he's smart too!" Love Helm yelled as everyone was watching what would happen. Kuruma snickered at the referee's comment of being smart while Naruto just blocked him out. If Griamore took down his Wall he would give Naruto the chance to attack but at the same time Naruto can't be eliminated but he can't attack Griamore...or so they thought.
Naruto channeled some chakra to his fist and started pounding on the barrier till he shattered it and Griamore was visibly sweating trying to keep his barrier up AND trying to keep it durable from Naruto's attack.
Naruto kept hitting and hitting until a crack formed and he broke through shocking Griamore, Howzer, and Princess Veronica.
"This is the end! RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled as he created a blue spinning orb and slammed it into Griamore's chest and Naruto launched him through his barrier and went flying into the distance.
"Griamore has been knocked out of the ring and that means Fox Boy is the winner!" Love Helm yelled as everyone cheered as Naruto got off the stage for Howzer and this Eric person to fight.
With Griamore
Griamore was flying through the air and was landing towards what seemed to be a house but it wasn't, it was a tavern...The BoarHat.
Diane, Elizabeth, and Gowther were coincidently walking towards the door when suddenly...
BOOM
Griamore smashed through the side of the wall laying in some rumble unconscious as Orochimaru came running downstairs.
"What happened?!" Orochimaru yelled as he quickly noticed the unconscious Griamore under some rubble and a few tables and chairs.
"W-We don't know...we were walking towards the door to bring you your new clothes...but then he came crashing down." Elizabeth said slightly stuttering which was expected because it's not every day that some random guy comes crashing through your wall.
"Well first give me my clothes and keep an eye on him. We don't know who he is and at the very least be ready to kill him should he wake up and try anything funny." Orochimaru said in a serious voice as he grabbed his clothes and went upstairs to change leaving Diane, Elizabeth, and Gowther to watch him.
"I'll be the one in charge to kill him should he do something like Orochimaru said." Gowther said as he just sat down on a nonbroken chair near a table and just watched him.
"H-Hey guys...w-what's with the ruckus...(Yawn)...has it been a month." A person from upstairs asked as he came down and he saw the horrified looks on Diane and Elizabeth as Gowther was still watching Griamore.
"H-Hidan...it's been o-only two weeks...s-since you fell asleep." Diane said in a shaky voice as Hidan's eyes widen remembering what the reaper said.
"Should you wake up early...there will be a consequence." His voice replayed in all their minds as they were wondering what the consequence that Hidan would receive.
As they were wondering this Orochimaru came back downstairs wearing his new clothes. It was a long light blue shirt that hid his arms but he didn't care and underneath that was a dark blue shirt. He had dark grayish-blue for pants and black sandals. His hair covered his left eye slightly but he kept his earrings. He also had a dark green sash around his waist with a smaller version of his purple obi but it was still tied.
"Great, because of this idiot we now have to deal with the consequences of Hidan waking up!" Orochimaru said slightly angered and annoyed so he walked over to Griamore and pulled him out of the rubble.
"Gowther, wake him up." Orochimaru demanded as Gowther did as he was told and woke up Griamore. When Griamore came to he gulped slightly noticing the scowl on Orochimaru's face.
" What are you doing here boy?" Orochimaru asked in an intimidating voice using his magic to lower his voice making himself more terrifying as he was scaring everyone in the room except Gothwer as Escanor finally came downstairs after sleeping seeing as he had nothing to do for most of the morning.
"I-I was thrown here a-alright." Griamore said sweating bullets and shaking with fear as Orochimaru was not someone to be messed with when angry...or in general.
Just as Orochimaru was about to extract more information a woman came running up to them having deep breaths as she was clearly out of breath.
"H-Hold on...(pant)...I'm sorry but another contender was fighting at the tournament...(pant)...and he sent him flying here." The woman said clearly out of breath from having to run this far to retrieve her personal guard.
"Princess Veronica I am truly sorry for failing you!" Griamore said on his hands and knees bowing down as Diane and Elizabeth were shocked to hear one of the Princess's of Liones was here while Orochimaru could care less about her status, Gowther was just if in the same seat as before and Escanor was just looking at them.
Before anyone could say anything the air became chill as a few people were paralyzed with fear. The only exception would be Hidan, Orochimaru, Gowther, and Escanor.
"I told you you would receive a consequence for awaking early...now it's time to pay." The reaper said as he appeared behind Hidan ready to say the consequences but he was looking around seeing the Terrified faces and started cackling into bone-chilling laughter.
"Hehehehe...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The reaper just laughed and laughed scaring everyone in the room. Veronica and Griamore were too scared to try and leave despite seeing Elizabeth nearby.
Just then Merlin appeared in the room to see Hidan awake and the Reaper behind him along with the petrified faces of everyone.
"Well since someone important has arrived...I can give out his consequence." Reaper said as he started chanting a spell that no one understood...not even Merlin.
"yaM siht luos eb dehsiunp yb yhT doG fo hteaD...rof sa gonl sa eh sesu ym serwop sih luos llahs be enim!"(Translation: May this soul be punished by Thy God of Death...for as long as he uses my powers his soul shall be mine)The Reaper finished as he castes his skeletal hand over Hidan as it glowed red, green, blue and finally black as Hidan screamed in pain.
His screaming stopped as the Reaper withdrew his hand and Hidan fell unconscious again. Everyone was wondering what he said and did he do.
"What happened, what did you do?" Merlin was the first to ask as Orochimaru was carrying Hidan to his room for proper rest testing to see if something was wrong with him.
"Simple...his consequence is as long as he uses my powers his soul will slowly become mine. Every time he uses power of mine...his soul slowly comes to me...of course, there are some exceptions like his own magic...that is not a part of my power." Reaper said as he saw Merlin nod as she was the only one being able to speak and move unlike everyone else except for Orochimaru and Gowther but the Reaper continued nonetheless. "Even during his rest he has my power like the transformation and the abilities that come with it...but he gained a few powers that he has no control over so that will not be a part of him using my powers...as for what they are not even I know, the only one I do know of his the power to see spirits that one cannot normally see. That is all...Farewell Mortals!"Reaper said leaving a burst of chilling laughter at the end as he faded back to his Graveyard leaving everyone breathing for air as they thought they would die.
Everyone regained their composure except Elizabeth as she was clearly frightened beyond belief. Diane noticed this and quickly hugged her trying to help her with this but she didn't see the scowl on Veronica's face.
"Elizabeth." Veronica started as Griamore was behind her and Elizabeth looked over at her sister. She could see the worried look on her face but also the anger. "I want to come back to the Kingdom...clearly being here with these criminals is not safe. So come back...or we'll use force." Veronica said as Griamore stepped forward ready to take her by force if necessary and at the same time Escanor stood in his way.
Play Song-Escanor Theme
"While I may not know the history between you three I can clearly see that she doesn't want to leave." Escanor said as Elizabeth hid behind Diane as Escanor kept starring down Griamore.
"I-I'm not going back! The Holy Knights are corrupt and there's nothing you can do to change my mind!" Elizabeth yelled as Griamore stepped forward but was again stopped by Escanor.
"Just to let you know we didn't come here without reinforcements. So you can give her to us peacefully or else Griamore will take you down." Veronica said as Griamore started to try and grab Elizabeth but Escanor grabbed his wrist and sent him back.
"I believe you have your answer, that was my answer. Now I ask you politely to leave before you get hurt." Escanor said clearly not intimidated by Griamore's size or his strength as he was stronger. Griamore got back up and was about to make his way back towards Escanor but Veronica stopped him.
Song End
"Fine then, but don't say I didn't warn you. Griamore let us go." Veronica said as she and Griamore left and at that exact moment...
BOOM!
Explosions were launched from a side of the town hitting houses, stands, and the area around the arena.
Veronica slightly smirked as she and Griamore kept walking away.
At the Arean before Griamore crashed through the tavern.
After Naruto launched Griamore to Kami knows where. He got out of the ring as Howzer and Eric walked on.
"That was good Match Naruto. Although we both know you could have ended it in one strike." Meliodas whispered as they were getting drinks from Hawk.
"I know but I wanted to have some fun. Also, why are we paying for drinks from the tavern?" Naruto questioned as he told Meliodas his reason for holding back once again but was now wondering why they were giving money to a pig.
"Cause then people will think we're stealing, it's better to pay." Meliodas reasoned as Naruto gave his money but was planning on stealing it back later on as they walked back to the ring to watch Howzer fight Eric.
"Alright, folks it's time for round two! On one side we have Howzer who's 5'11 and weighs 161 pounds and his opponent Eric who's also 5'11 and he weighs 150 pounds. Rules are the same as the last round and...BEGIN!" Love Helm yelled as Eric and Howzer dashed forward meeting in the middle interlocking their hands trying to see who was stronger.
Eric had enough of this test of strength decided to let go throwing Howzer off balance before kicking him in his side then punching him five times in rapid succession sending him flying back on his knees as he coughed some saliva.
"Would you look at that! Eric wasting no time at all to show Howzer what he's made of!" Love Helm yelled as many were thinking Eric was going to win while others held strong for Howzer.
Howzer got to his feet wiping his mouth as he looked at his opponent. Howzer could tell he was a good fighter despite how he looked.
"He's fast. Not that strong but strong enough to send opponents back and make them gasp for air, if I didn't know any better he could be a natural fighter." Howzer thought as he regained his fighting stance but this time encased his fist with his magic as a violent whirlwind encased his arms.
"Time to get serious!" Howzer yelled as he quickly dashed towards Eric and started punching furiously as Eric dodged each one he was getting thrown back from the wind his fists were producing until he tripped back and allowed Howzer to punch him with all his strength into the ground.
As he connected his fist with him it created a huge dust cloud so nobody could see what happened...well almost everyone.
Naruto could easily see what was happening as could Meliodas. Naruto saw that Howzer won as the punch he landed knocked him out cold. Meliodas was only able to punch him into the ground but he could easily deduce that he was unconscious.
As the dust settled Naruto and Meliodas were proven right as Eric was out cold with his eyes rolled back unmoving.
"Looks like Howzer needed one good punch to win. The winner of the second match is HOWZER!" Love Helm yelled getting cheers from everyone as Naruto, Meliodas and Ban looked towards "Old Fart" as it was his turn to fight.
"Are you ready...Old Fart?" Ban asked sarcastically as he was laughing proud of the name he gave King as King just sighed giving his Pillow to Meliodas for him to hold as he got into the ring as did Cain.
As both men stared each other down looking serious in a way...although the crowd had different opinions. "That's a kid up there fighting!" One man yelled out as King's face became slightly red from embarrassment and Cain staggered forward with a drink in his hand.
"Are you sure you aren't drunk there Gramps!?" A man yelled as he asks a rhetorical question as everyone slightly laughed but Meliodas grew a serious face which Ban and Naruto noticed.
"Is this even a fight...can we call this a fight!?" The referee yelled as he started the match. King put his fist up while Cain looked like he was struggling just to stand.
"Captain what's with the serious face?" Ban asked as he kept noticing Meliodas's sharp gaze as did Naruto and they really wanted to know what was going through his head.
"It's King...he's strong with his Sacred Treasure but without it..." Meliodas paused as they saw King rush forward ready to punch Cain...only for him to trip and fall. "...he's completely useless." Meliodas finished as Naruto and Ban fell over anime like feeling really saddened as they expected something different.
King got up only to be knocked back a few feet as Cain punched him in the head. "Man...he's strong that hurt." King said making Naruto and Ban fall over again as they were now just giving pity to King at this point as he was one of the strongest orders of knights but he was getting beaten by a drunk old man.
"While it's not fair...I'm going to use my magic." King thought as he stuck his hand out readying himself to use his Disaster magic but before he could even do anything Cain used his palm on Kong's chest and launched him out of the ring.
"Maybe I should teach King some hand-to-hand combat before we decide to invade the Kingdom." Naruto whispered to the others as they nodded in agreement while King was just floating on his pillow silently feeling sorry for himself as he lost to a drunk old man.
"Looks like it was the same type of fight with Cain and Old Fart, Cain needed just one good strike to finish it off! Now it's time for the last match, Baan Vs Meliodaf!" Love Helm yelled out as Ban and Meliodas got into the ring and both of them looked eager to fight each other.
While everyone was having a good time Naruto had a face of concern and King noticed and decided to address this.
"Hey what's wrong? You looked really worried." King asked as Naruto looked towards him and Naruto sighed deciding it was best if he told him as they find out later anyway.
"A few moments ago I sensed the Reapers full presence, as in he was fully here in the human world like he was last time. Which means that Hidan somehow woke up early." Naruto said as King also grew a face of concern as Merlin told them all from the Grim Reaper himself that should Hidan wake early there will be consequences.
"Not trying to be rude but I don't think we can do much, we're pretty far from the Tavern and Merlin is probably already there, and as much as I hate to say it...Orochimaru is also there and fully capable of dealing with whatever happens. So for now we should just stay here." King said giving out sagely words like a true King would and Naruto smiled and nodded as they went back towards the fight as Ban and Meliodas were already disappearing and reappearing all around the ring giving fast punches and kicks towards another.
"Wanna bet on who's gonna win?" Naruto asked as he didn't look at King to know he was thinking about it. King's thoughts were interrupted for two reasons. One was that Meliodas slammed Ban down to the ground so hard that he created a crack going down the entire mountain and two was because he saw fireballs making their way towards the town and around the arena.
The Fireballs created explosions loud enough to make everyone look at the town on fire and people panicking and Meliodas and Ban's fight came to a stop as they also looked at the town.
"What the hell!" Ban yelled as he saw a woman leading other Holy Knights into the town as they were causing havoc.
"Find the Seven Deadly sins and find Princess Elizabeth!" The woman ordered as everyone went off in different directions trying to find them.
"We have to stop them!" Naruto yelled as they all nodded and went down to the city but they didn't notice Love Helm's smile but Naruto did sense some blood lust coming from him but decided to ignore it as he went to put out the fires.
With Naruto
Naruto ran straight for the woman sending explosions all over the city so he could stop one of the main problems.
As Naruto was running towards her he jumped to the side dodging one of her attacks.
"Who the hell are you and why are you doing this!?" Naruto yelled as he saw the woman making her way towards Naruto and she stopped 5 feet away.
"I am Gulia crystal rank among the Holy Knights. As for why we're here is none of your business so run along before you get hurt." Gulia threatened as she created another Explosion at the top of her Rapier but held it there waiting for Naruto to decide.
Naruto was not intimidated in the slightest as he pulled a kunai from his sleeve and dashed towards her dodging explosions as he threw his Kunai that had a paper bomb at the end towards her and since it's been 48,000 years since that Kunai with Paper bombs have been used she didn't think anything of it and moved as it was halfway towards her.
"As if a small knife with paper can hurt m- BOOM!" Gulia didn't finish her sentence as the paper exploded near her sending her into a building.
"Guess people became less aware of things in the last couple thousand years." Naruto said as he sweatdropped at her cockiness but he couldn't help but compare her to someone.
"She's like Deidara except she could fight at close range but he was stronger...makes me wonder if she's a descendent." Naruto said as he muttered the last part to himself before Kuruma spoke up.
"Naruto...be careful of her...I sense Demon blood within her." Kuruma said as Naruto nodded in response as he saw Gulia walking back towards him with a few bruises but other than that she seemed fine.
"Your strong but you will fail." Gulia said as she got into a stance as Naruto pulled out another Kunai and encased it in wind chakra.
Broken wood from a building fell hitting the ground sending them both of them dash off.
To Be Continued
Author's Note: A cliffhanger noice and yeah I decided to use God-language for when the Reaper cursed Hidan and I might use it later on as well when Naruto goes and speak with other Gods or just use it for certain things.
Anyway, Hidan has been cursed so that anytime he uses the Reapers powers bits of the soul will go to him but there are exceptions to that like seeing spirits which will be for something later on if you don't know what it is. As for the other powers, I'll think of them as I write or just ask some friends or you can leave your own opinions cause I need to come up with three different powers that he has that won't be affected by the punishment.
As for Orochimaru feeling concerned about Hidan, I decided to have him care for people but at the same time not give two shits, so he doesn't consider them friends yet but he can tolerate them and even care for them to some extent and about his new clothes I figured he can wear his Boruto clothing cause even though I hate Boruto Orochimaru's new clothes look pretty decent.
Anyways the end of this chapter pretty sure I did a good on it see you when I write the next one.
