Chapter 14: Cats and Dogs

"Would have rather at least ripped that pricks arm or leg off for good measure but I guess this is okay for now." Naruto looked at the holes he made with Zephyrdor's body in the walls as people chatted animatedly over what had just transpired. His eyes then shifted over to Sairaorg as he conversed with Rias. Naruto didn't see anything wrong with it since they were cousins and seemed to be on good terms with each other so Naruto didn't worry about it. He could tell that Sairaorg wasn't some kind of bastard or troublemaker so that made it simple for Naruto.

Naruto was brought out of his musing as he head the footsteps of someone walking up to him and his sisters. It was the stern looking blonde girl from earlier who seemed to be keeping that prick away from his sisters.

"Hello so you are Shio-san and Miso-san's brother?"

Naruto glanced down at the young woman before he turned to her and smile.

"Yes I am. I am Uzumaki Naruto at your service. Who might you be?"

The young woman gave a small bow as she introduced herself.

"I am Seekvaira Agares, heiress of the Agares family. It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know why but your name seems familiar for some reason.

"Well you might know my from breaking Rias's engagement to Riser to which I am now her fiancé."

'Fiancé?!' She heard about the Riser incident but she never got to see the battle in person though from what she heard this man in front of her seemed a little different from the one she heard saved Rias. She couldn't really make out his features too well with him concealed like that.

"If it's not too much trouble could you remove your hood please? It's rude to have one on indoors and I would like to be able to fully see the face of the man I'm speaking with."

'A devil monitoring manners?!'

Naruto's eye twitched as Shio and Miso watched the interaction between the two incase something interesting happened. It was always fun to see how Naruto interacted with new people. Naruto signed before he pushed back his hood letting his silvery hair show through completely. He gave her a charming smile as his horns and wolf ears were shown to the world. The girls in the room blushed at the sight of his handsome features while many had their eyes locked in on his wolf ears wanting to touch them.

"Well Seekvaira-san is this better?"

"Y-Yes..." Her glasses fogged before she caught herself and coughed into her hand. "I mean yes, thank you. I had heard that your hair was blond?"

"I've grown quite a bit since the underworld last saw me in public."

Naruto just stood there looking her over as the conversation went silent. She had a nice body and a pretty face but kept a professional look to her. Like a sexy business woman or something like that. So as to not make things weird he looked her over in a few seconds before she could say anything about it. We he looked back at her face he noticed that she looked a little awkward as she shuffled her feet.

"Is something wrong?"

"Ah sorry. I was curious if I can see that thing you did with your hand earlier when you attacked Zephyrdor again."

He looked confused but shrugged as he brought up his hand. Black aura burned off of it before his hand morphed and in a few seconds it was back in its armored claw state. He held his hand out to her as she looked at it in amazement.

"Is this good?"

"Wow the texture of it! It has the density and feel of some kind of metal along with the luster of metals too yet it comes from your body so likely has some kind of organic origin. Do you take the iron present in blood as the base? Or maybe its the carbon that is an abundant compound in our bodies? Does that aura of yours form constructs and that's how your hand mutated or is there some other kind of mechanic behind it's transformation?"

"I..." He had to lean back as the girl got too close to his face basically having a spaz attack over his armored forearm. Naruto sweatdropped and Seekvaira quickly backed off with her face red in embarassment. Shio snickered at the scene as she cleared up her brother's confusion.

"She's a mecha otaku oniisama." The woman huffed as she glared at Shio not liking the title.

"Mechanical enthusiast!"

A look of understanding came across Naruto's face as he stroked his chin. "Ah I see, now it makes sense." He wasn't a robot but he guessed his transformation was close enough to resemble cybernetic parts and sacred gears. He could only imagine what would happen if he armed his whole body and show the girl. He should show it to Rias too since she was an otaku as well though he was pretty sure she didn't know that he knew that about her. "Well anyway I did want to thank you for helping my sisters out with that asshole earlier. If anything had happened to them I would likely destroy the underworld in a lost anguish."

She rose an eyebrow at that as it was kind of odd to state something to that extent.

"Well thanks aren't necessary as I would have helped them regardless as Zephyrdor always has been a bit of a problem but really? Destroy the underworld? Aren't you being a little dramatic?" Naruto went silent as he stared at her for a good minute making her confused before finally he gave her a serene fanged grin. It was a nice look but for some reason when he did it at that moment she felt an ominous aura around him and a chill stab straight down her spine. She shook her head to get rid of the feeling only to see Naruto looking at her blankly again.

"What is it?"

"I thought you might be interested in this." He put his hands together and used a little magic before opening them and holding up a small creation towards Seekvaira's face. It was a small robot wolf of sorts with LED eyes and a tail that looked like a glow pen.

"I made this a while ago when I was bored. Since I have no use for it and you have a robot fetish you can have it if you want." He blinked when the toy vanished from his hand.

Seekvaira's personality took an odd turn as she now had stars in her eyes and was breathing hard as she gushed over the little machine. The small robotic wolf simply panted and barked at her in it's own way in response to her enthusiasm. That just spurred her own to get even more excited making the toy nervous and he was pretty sure he saw it sweat. Naruto put his hands in his pockets and walked in the other direction now bored as he spoke back to them.

"Well nice meeting you have fun with that. Shio and Miso stay out of trouble." As he walked though the room on his own browsing he absently noted how people kept stealing glances at him. He didn't care since he was used to that even in the human world so it was no big deal to him. He scratched the back of his head as he looked around the area. He was bored now and kind of wanted to eat something now but didn't see anything of interest. Because of that he wasn't watching where he was going as he ran into someone.

"Oof!" Naruto ran into a young girl and because of Naruto's large size and mass the girl stumbled back. Before she could fall Naruto caught her hand and stood her back up causing her to look slightly flustered at the contact. The effect only increased when Naruto gave her a warm smile as he made sure she could stand.

"Sorry that was my fault for not watching where I was going." 'Though I tend to overlook the little things. The girl had nice blonde hair arranged in drill tails on the sides of her hair and deep blue eyes. She looked to be around Koneko's age but it's clear the girl had been eating well as her breasts were almost as big as Xenovia's already despite being quite a bit shorter and overall Naruto found her to be a very beautiful girl. "Oh I know you."

The girls eyes lit up at being recognized. "Oh the Juubi! It's been a while!"

"Who are you again? I'm pretty sure we were never introduced."

"Oh where are my manners. I am Ravel Phenex we met at the engagement party?"

"Yes I remember that just didn't know your name. So you are Riser's sister... You don't smell like chicken to me."

"Be polite we don't smell like that!"

'You do smell good though.' "Anyway how is Riser actually? You know after I..." He rolled his hand at the end not exactly sure how to sum up what he did to her brother in one word.

"Well he's been better. He's too afraid to even leave the house now. He didn't even have the backbone to live on his own because of how bad you damaged his mind. It took 2 Phenex tears on just his brain specifically to get his mind back on track. I guess you could say he's never been the same since that fight."

Naruto looked a little nervous as he scratched his cheek awkwardly. "Yeah... sorry about that. I got a bit territorial but in hindsight I kind of overdid it. Riser just wouldn't stay down so I let my irritation and annoyance get the better of me."

"Don't worry about it." That threw him as he was not expecting such an easy response from the sister of the guy he brutally tortured.

"Huh?"

"Well he has no lasting physical damage and you may have messed him up badly but this will serve as a lesson for him to respect women more and to not be so foolhardy."

Yeah I guess but aren't you kind of rough on him. I mean I don't think you get the extent of how far I broke him."

"That's not important right now!"

"But weren't you also one of his pieces? Or at least you used to be. I can sense that things have changed in that regard?"

"Yes I got out of his peerage and joined my mother's in a trade. Since she never does rating games anyway I'm basically free to do what I want."

"Oh well that sounds nice actually. Like trading players on football teams."

"No it's not the same! Anyway the main reason I wanted to speak with you is to give you this." She handed Naruto a black capsule of sorts with a phenex insignia on it. He looked at it oddly as he held it up to the light in interest. After a few seconds he shrugged and started sniffing it.

"Hmm it smells like you. I smell liquids too. What is this some kind of royal vibrator? I didn't think are relationship was this far already. I would give you my underwear in exchange but I don't wear any half the time."

Her face went red upon hearing that as she shouted in outrage. "No it's not its my-! Wait what?"

"I don't wear underwear in the material sense half the time because I usually just create it out of my aura. More flexible that way and I feel more free. You should understand the need for freedom since you carry around a vibrator."

"Stop calling it that you ass! That is a gift often given exclusively to high class devils. Those are Phenex tears and to make it special I used my tears specifically. You should be grateful to receive such a gift."

'Phenex tears huh?' He already knew all about what they were and how they were used. Their healing properties could come in handy in the future so it would be a good idea to hold on to them. He shrugged before putting the capsule in his pocket.

"So does this count as a confession?" She blushed heatedly and looked away from him, the little ahoge on top of her head lighting up like a candle flame.

"No I'm just giving you it as a symbol of friendship!"

"Did you just friendzone me?"

"No I don't mean like that!"

"Good. It's smart to always keep your options open." He winked at her as the cute little blush on her face. She glared at him as she became frustrated.

"Urgh you're so annoying! Stupid Juubi!"

She stopped her shouting when she felt a hand on her head as Naruto patted her.

"Alright I'll stop teasing you. But you don't have to call me Juubi if you don't want to you know. My name is Naruto afterall."

She grumbled as she looked down embarassed at the contact ad spoke in a more tame voice.

"Fine then, from now on I will call you Naruto-sama now."

"Even better. I don't know where the logic in your mind worked to have you go straight to that but it sounds good nonetheless."

Naruto's ears suddenly pricked up before his head snapped towards the balcony where the castle overlooked the forest. He went still as he zoned out causing Ravel to become confused.

"Naruto?"

"Sorry Ravel-chan I have to go take care of something right now. We can talk more later."

Ravel cried out as he started to walk away towards the balcony at a quick pace catching Rias's attention as she stopped talking with a group of people to look at him confused.

"What's wrong."

"I'll take care of it. Stay here Rias." His mouth was twitch as he said that which made her yield without argument and just nod. She didn't know what the cause of it was but for whatever reason it was, Naruto was excited and looked ready to fight someone and if that was about to happen it was likely someone dangerous and she would only get in the way if she went with him unguarded.

He stepped outside onto the balcony as everyone watched him and held out his hand concentrating.

"Kyogre!"

In a flash of like the bluenette Tsunami appeared holding her arm sleeve over her mouth nervously.

"W-We aren't training again are we Naruto-sama?"

"No not this time. I might need you in a fight." She blinked for a second before dropping her arm and got right in her face grinning brightly, flashing her row of sharklike teeth. She always held herself like a more sophisticated woman but when she got excited for battle she was no different than the others.

"Really! What do you wish of me?!"

"Well right now I need your whale form." She glared at him and shouted in outrage.

"I am not a whale! I told you not to call me that! If you are going to call me a sea creature an orca would be more accurate or a Leviathan since that's the type of dragon I am!"

"Devils use the term Leviathan already so to avoid confusion I'd rather not use that."

"I don't care."

"...And orca's are still whales."

"They are more closely related to dolphins!"

"Which are cousins to whales."

Tsunami held her hand up to his face as an orb of water formed in front of it and had him at point blank range. She had a menacing aura that told him he was in danger right now.

"...So your Leviathan form."

She quickly smiled brightly and released her aura as she spun around.

"Hai Naruto-sama~!" The audience gained larged sweatdrops as they had watched the entire exchange. She jumped and somersaulted through the air as she dove off the balcony disappearing. Naruto jumped onto the ledge and a rumble could be heard the shook the floor before he held out his hand and grabbed onto a fin like appendage as he shot into the sky on the back of a large beast. Everyone's jaws dropped as he was riding on the back of a large blue creature that resembled a dragon with a torpedo like body and large hand shaped fins. This was Tsunami's dragon form. In short it did actually resemble a whale but no one would dare bring that up again.

It flew up high in the sky with Naruto on it's back as it flew towards a location deeper into the forests. Clouds started to gather as Naruto held on to the fin.

"Nami-chan I'll need you to make it rain for me." She grunted as the clouds continued to build up. That aspect of the weather was as easy as walking for her to control.


"You know I really didn't want to fight Shirone. Can't we just catch up like old times sake, nya?"

"Hell no." Koneko picked herself off the ground with her legs shaking in strain. Her clothes were in tears and the area looked like it had gone through a disaster with its broken trees and shallow craters. Kuroka on the other hand was unscathed and only had so much as a cut in the sleeve of her kimono where Koneko had gotten close with her chakra.

The older neko pouted upon hearing her sisters response.

"Aww. That's not nice. I have to say I am impressed that you have accepted your nekomata form again. I also wasn't expecting you to have such a good grasp on chakra already. Coating your hands in chakra to act like claws was smart but you lack the level of senjutsu to surprise me with that. I'm happy how far you've come along though. From what I understand you only recently started using chakra."

"You can thank master for that."

"Ooh that sounds kinky. I can't wait to meet this so called master, nya?"

"Yo Kuroka!" The two nekomata's ears twitched at the voice as a man holding a staff walked up behind Kuroka. She sighed at the in annoyance at being interrupted as she looked back at her collegue.

"What Bikou?"

"It seems we have some watchful eyes among us. You can sense them too right?"

She nodded as she looked to the side at the trees.

"Yes I just chose to ignore. Their stealth is great but infront of senjutsu users of our level they will need a few more tricks to escape my radar, nya."

They heard someone curse before they walked around the tree showing themselves revealing an irritated Tayuya.

"Shit I wanted to watch a little longer but I guess I have to stop you guys now huh?" Kuroka's eyes shifted over to a tree a few to the left of Tayuya and rustling of branches could be heard before Raynare dropped out revealing herself and walked up to the side of Tayuya. The redhead looked over at her friend surprised.

"How long have you been there?"

"About a couple minutes. Shio-san should have been here instead. She could have stayed in he shadows without being detected."

"That's true. So should I take you being her as to mean that he is on his way?" Raynare simply nodded her head causing Tayuya to smirk in return. Kuroka gained a smile of her own as she put her hand on her hip.

"Well well looks like we've got ourselves a party now. Sorry but I'm just here for my cute little sister so if you can hand her over I'll be on my way."

"Sorry bitch but we can't do that." Kuroka glared at Tayuya for her calling her that.

"I'm a cat not a dog!"

"Yeah but I can't think of very many effective cat insults so I went with the classic."

"...Well if you aren't handing her over then I have no problem killing you all."

Kuroka held up her finger and characters appeared in the air as purple fog flooded the air. Koneko fell to her knees as she suddenly felt extremely weak in the fog. Raynare however flared out her magic and the two khaos brigade members were surprised when in a flash of light 3 pairs of wings appeared on her back and were silver in color. A protective dome of orange light covered her body and kept the mist away from her.

Tayuya on the other hand simply crossed her arms and looked over at Kuroka bored. "Nice try pussy but poison hardly does shit to a succubus." Tayuya looked up as she noticed the sky cloud and it started to rain. She smirked as she sensed the awaited arrival of their favorite person.

"Well looks like the main event is here."

Kuroka and Bikou looked confused before they looked up and their eyes widened as they saw a large flying creature above them flying around and an object drop down from it heading straight towards them. They jumped out of the way as it struck the ground and formed a small crater. Kuroka coughed as the impact through dust at her before she squinted as the smoke faded away. Her eyes widened when air cleared to show Naruto standing in the crater with his hands in his pockets.

"Well I wanted to see how long Koneko would last before I had to jump in but oh well." Kuroka looked him over and licked her lips at his appearance.

"Nya? Who's the hottie?"

"Aw don't tell me you've forgotten me already Kuro-chan?" The tone felt familiar to her but she couldn't figure out why. She looked back at his face and saw the shape of it along with the spiky hair and whisker marks and her eyes light up in realization as she smiled happily.

"Naru-kun! I saw clips of you from the summit battle but it looks like you've changed quite a bit since then."

"Yes a lot has changed cat. Now I have to tell you Koneko won't be going away with you. As her master and friend I can't allow that."

"Oh so you were the one who has been teaching her? Thank you I appreciate it, nya. Now move out of the way before I kick your ass."

"...Well that doesn't sound very appreciative at all."

"Sorry fishcake but I won't let anyone take my sister away from me even if it's you so move before I kill you." Naruto tilted his head and shrugged with a bored look.

"Not the first time a girl has said that to me. It really has no effect anymore."

"Well that's a shame. If you survive this maybe I'll make you my personal plaything, nya?"

"Not the first time a girl has said that to me either. Really do you women think of anything else? I'm supposed to be the pervert here."

"Oh well." Kuroka giggled as she held out her hand as a blue magical orb form and shot straight at Naruto. It hit his chest with a crack as it exploded. The others watched the smoking hole to see what Naruto's fate was only to see him walk out of it and towards her. His jacket was a little scruffed up but otherwise he was fine.

"Wow that stung. Like the equivalent of a human getting their chest slapped with a paddle."

"Stop the tough guy act. I know that hurt you."

"Alright fine it felt like someone just shot me with a cannon. The thing is that level of pain has no effect on me. A few bruises and fractures will not make me fall."

"Ooh so edgy, nya? Fine then you asked for this." She pointed her finger at him as a large purple magic seal appeared floating behind her back and numerous amounts of the same blue orbs formed. She pointed her finger down and Naruto had to jump back as one of the balls shot down at his feet and impacted the ground harder than before.

Several more shot at him but he flipped out of the air avoiding them easily.

"Don't forget about me Juubi!" Naruto's eyes widened at the voice forgetting that Bikou was there as an extended staff slammed down on him. He held his arms up to block it as it pushed him back onto the ground his feet cracking the earth as he gritted his teeth.

"Whew nice swing you've got." His forearms tingled from that as he looked at the two Khaos members more seriously now. 'Hmm Kuroka is fine but dealing with both her and Bikou at the same time could be messy. Too many people are nearby and I really don't want to use that so soon yet.'

"You look like you could use some help kid?" Naruto's eyebrow rose as he looked up to the sky and Tannin flying above near where he left Tsunami up above. "I saw your familiar friend up over there and decided to come check out what the issue was. Seems like you've got some trouble."

"Woohoo! A former dragon king! See ya Kuroka I gonna go have fun with him! Nimbus!" He held up his hand in a ram sign as a small cloud formed beneath his feet before flying up in the air to battle Tannin. Naruto didn't want the help but he guessed he would deal with it for now. He looked back at his friends to see them still there watching.

"You guys can watch if you want but Tayuya and Raynare I want you to at least have Koneko moved to a safe distance away."

"Fine/Hai Naruto-sama." The two gave their own responses before they grabbed Koneko and flew off. Naruto watched them go off before turning back to see Kuroka grinning at him.

"So now that you've got me all to your what do you plan on doing now Naru-kun~?"

Naruto cracked his neck before doing the same with his hands and fingers.

"Well I believe Koneko-chan wants me to pound your ass. Though she never specified as to how."

"Oh that sounds hot. Are you going to do it the sexy way?" She dragged her finger down her exposed cleavage till she reached her kimono and started to pull at it seductively. Naruto leaned to the side as he stared at her with no reaction.

"That depends. Are you still going to take Koneko?"

"Of course, nya."

"Well then I'll have to pound you the violent way. You basically abandoned her so you don't have a right to take her. She's safer with me now." Her eyes went cold as her slitted eyes bore into him.

"So you are still going to stop me? What makes you think you are a better option to take care of her? I'm her sister and can teach her all about her inheritance that is senjutsu!" Naruto grinned as he knew what his next words would cause.

"Well I'm her master but also when it comes to senjutsu... I'm better than you."

He blinked as with a burst of unreal speed Kuroka was in front of him with a flying kick. He leaned back just barely avoiding her as she sailed over him and completely destroyed the tree behind him before crashing the ground.

Her eyes were glowing as she turned back to him, her body covered in a purple mist. "If you want to fight so badly I'll tan your ass until you run away with your tail between your legs."

Naruto's grin showed up again as black aura covered his own body. Naruto held one hand up in the half ram seal and the ground around him started to branch out in spiderweb cracks. Black aura started to seep up out of the cracks before they started to form into a collection of wolves. "The wild cat versus the lone wolf. Who will be victorious?!"


"The norse god Loki eh?" Azazel scratched his chin as he looked up at the party crasher floating above them. Loki had interrupted the reception bring it to a standstill, and right when Odin was about to sign the treaty too. It was as if the trickster god had been waiting all this time to show himself at that moment and had just been hiding himself in the shadows.

"Loki if you return back to Valhalla right now I will forgive you for this transgression." Odin stomped his staff on the marble floor as he gave Loki a stern expression but Loki didn't seem to care at all.

"You can shove your forgiveness back up your ass old man. Don't you know that if you go through with this truce it would make Ragnarok that much more difficult?"

"So much noise when I was trying to sleep." The satans, devils, Michael, Azazel, and the gods turned towards the voice to Tama walking down the steps of the ball room towards them. She was wearing a cloak as she held her egg close to her chest again. Loki looked at her in interest for a few seconds before his eyebrows rose slightly and he smirked.

"To think a god halfling would be found in the underworld so casually. It would be nice to chat with a fellow peer but I've got work to do. Come on out Fenrir!"

A large blue magic seal appeared beneath him before it split down the middle and opened up like a door. Everyone heard a deep growl before a large wolf of around 10 meters in size and with a pair of horns on its back jumped out. It landed in front of Tama as she tilted her head at it curiously.

"Wolf? Naru-kun looks better." The beast noticed her and others reached out to try and warn her of the danger she was in before Fenrir let loose a loud roar right at her. She had to close her eyes as the roar sent whipping wind at her face and pushed her back a few feet. When it died down the entire room went quiet before Tama stirred. Fenrir suddenly started whimpering as Tama opened her eyes slowly showing that they had turned yellow with black sclera.

Before anyone could blink there was a shockwave and the next second the giant animal hit the wall hard with a crash. There were multiple panels out in front of Tama that seemed to have acted as a spring, catapulting the canine away from her like a bat hitting a baseball. The beast fell to the ground dazed not knowing what hit him. Tama turned on her heel to walk off again to who knows where holding her egg close mumbling to herself.

"Stupid mutt getting saliva in my hair..." The guests all had their jaws on the floor at how that lone teenage girl so casually took out a high-class beast. Those that heard what she said had sweatdrops as it was like Tama didn't register the severity of the situation. Sirzechs had an awkward smile on his face as he watched Tama go.

'Naruto-kun seems to have some pretty capable women around him.'

Grayfia also had thoughts of her own as she eyed Tama's back.

'Mood swings or not I can see why Naruto-kun likes her so much. Both of them are very interesting individuals.'

Loki glared at Tama as he held up his hand charging up his magic to shoot Tama in the back.

"How dare you do that you wretch!" He's face quickly changed from anger to shock as a green pyramid shaped barrier formed over him and Fenrir. He was familiar with this style of magic as his eyes quickly scanned the room for the user and heard a voice.

"You got distracted and that left you open." The holder of the magic was a handsome man with slicked back green hair. Ajuka Beelzebub, one of the 4 Satans and the creator of the peerage system.

"Beelzebub!" Loki roared out in rage before he disappeared, the magic sending him who knows where. Everyone let out a relieved breath knowing the danger had passed, at least for now. Sirzechs walked up and patted Ajuka on the shoulder with a smile.

"Smart thinking."

"Couldn't let Loki have his way here nor could I let him attack one of Naruto-kun's friends." It wasn't known by many but Naruto and Ajuka actually conversed a number of times and could even be considered friends, sharing each others ideas and inventing various items. Course they didn't meet in person as much because up until recently Naruto had been in the human world most of the time so they spoke via magical communication.


"That's a nice trick Fishcake but ultimately useless, nya." There was even more damage to the surrounding area with scorch marks and turned up dirt but Kuroka appeared unharmed. She didn't move too far from where she was as wolves made of his magic attacked her but were blocked by her barriers. They would be effective if they could get to her but she could stop them too easily to which she then dispatched them.

Naruto shrugged at seeing that move not work though he wasn't surprised. "So? You protect yourself with your magic. I've fought enough people who do that to know how to get around that. Wolves are after all more driven than cats."

He jumped back out of the way as a disc of energy tore up the ground towards him trying to cut him in half. It sailed by him and split a tree in half. He whistled at the cutting power as he wouldn't be able to block that. He flinched as his senses went off and he heard a voice behind him.

"But wild cats are faster and more agile than wolves Naruto-kun~ nya!" A knife hand was sent at his back and right before it struck home he vanished but not before leaving an article of clothing behind. She stumbled forward losing her balance as she looked on in shock seeing what Naruto left.

"Y-You dropped your pants?!" She didn't have time to turn around as time continued and the pants fell on her... with a crash cratering the ground. "Nya!"

She strained her arms struggling to push herself up from the heavy wait on her back. "W-What the hell!?"

She heard a voice to her side to see Naruto standing a distance away with his hands in his pockets... He apparently was wearing lighter jogger pants under the baggy ones he discarded so he was still decent.

"It gets serious when my pants come off."

"This is stupid!" Her face was red from embarrassment as she shouted at him. The fact that his face actually did look serious made it worse. For her to be felled by a pair of pants, she can't tell anyone about this. She grunted as her muscles strained to finally get up and push the article of clothing off of her. She didn't know how many tons it was she just knew it was unnatural.

"The weight holds my muscles back a bit so I have to actively control the gravity around me along with the way I walk to manage my body better so that I appear to move normally, the weight doesn't effect the environment around me, and I actively walk lighter so no one will notice. Now that I can stretch my legs again..."

He stepped forward and a crunching sound could be heard as his foot broke into the before he blinked forward. "Do you still think you are faster than me?!"

His aura twisted around him making him look like a drill as he sent a jump kick at Kuroka. She hastily focused herself before she warped out of sight appearing on a tree a safer distances away. Naruto skidded to a stop tearing up a shallow trench in the ground and looked over at her.

"Teleportation huh? I guess that's the spacial manipulation of senjutsu working eh? Let me show you my manipulation."

He threw a punch at her from 10 meters away and her eyes widened as she was still hit. Her magical barrier blocked it with a small shockwave before another punch hit it a split second later cracking the barrier. Naruto sped towards her quick as ever and sent a flying knee at the barrier shattering it only for her to teleport elsewhere again. He landed on the branch and sighed.

"Is this all the SS ranked Nekosho can do? Run away? Well you were a stray and ran away from even your responsibilities as an older sister so I guess it makes sense." Her eyes shock at that as that hurt her.

"I don't want to hear that from you!" She roared in anger as her magic circle expanded many times larger. A rain of wispy balls of blue chakra formed behind her back lighting up the area. One shot down at Naruto like a bullet and he had to quickly jump back as it hit the ground but was surprised when it explode and hit everything in a 5 meter range.

"Whoa!" He didn't have time to think about it anymore as as if they had been signaled all the other balls shot down at him like hell fire. A large area of the forest was blasted as it continued to rain down sounding like thunder.

When she finally let go of the assualt she dropped to her knees panting as a bead of sweat rolled down her forehead. In her wake she had left pure devastation as everything in a cone shape out in front of her had been cratered and destroyed for 200 meters. She looked worried at what she might have done.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't want to do that..."

"Now that's what I like to see." She now looked fearful as her head snapped around to see Naruto looming over her. His body was scratched up and his torso was bare while his lower half seemed to be covered in some kind of black armor. His tail was arched up in a threatening manner and the damage he took seemed to be minimal. If she knew that he had stood still after the first blast it would severely hurt her pride. "Wolves outclass every cat in stamina Kuroka and we are resilient so even when you exhaust yourself I can keep going. But I'm also not just a wolf. Tsunami make it downpour!"

There was a rumble in the sky as Tsunami started to do barrel rolls while flying in circles up above in her Kyogre state and the rain started to pick up from a light drizzle to a heavy downpour. Naruto's horns started to arch with electricity fizzing out the rain as Kuroka's eyes widened in fear having an idea of what was going to happen. She turned and jumped away from him quickly but it was all in vain when Naruto snapped his fingers. Electricity, pure lightning bolted from his fingers and jumped between the raindrops towards Kuroka faster than she could get away. It struck her body lighting her up with the charge as she cried out tumbling on the ground. She clawed at the ground as her muscles twitched from the shock. It hurt and her body was already starting to numb but she couldn't lie there any longer as she saw Naruto's feet in front of her.

"Koneko-chan doesn't want me to kill you but you are an enemy. Since you're a woman and an old friend I also don't want to be too brutal. You're also a strong woman and that's something I like so I will give you a chance to stop. Give up Kuroka." She hissed at him before jumping into the air and tried to warp to get some distance. As soon as she jumped Naruto snapped 3 times and by the time she warped once she was struck by all 3 in the air frying her and falling away into another part of the woods. But Naruto was already thinking ahead of all of this as she knew where she would fall and quickly was already there.

"Going up in a storm just makes it easier for me to hit you you idiot." Right when she was about to hit the ground Naruto appeared at that spot and lashed out with a wicked roundhouse kick connecting with her core hard as she coughed up blood and was sent back to where she had been through 7 trees.

Her clothes were smoking and her hair a mess as she whimpered weakly on the ground. Chakra made her body much stronger but she still had broken bones from that hit as she had not been able to block it at all.

"I guess the rain might be considered cheating a little but I guess my sadistic side wanted to have a little fun with the lightning. Wondering how it's so effective? It's not magic lightning, or magic infused electricity, or holy lightning. It's pure bioelectricity from my body guided with chakra. And because it's natural you can't simply block it with magic if your body is as wet as it is." Naruto was already near her again walking towards her. He waved his hand in the air and Tsunami stopped her rain and turned back to her humanoid form. She absently looked over at Tannin fighting with Bikou before looking back at Naruto.

Kuroka growled weakly at him as walked up to her again. She shakily stood up with a look of defiance on her face as her magic circle appeared behind her again with several more blue spheres. Naruto sighed as he tilted his head at her and cracked his fingers, his violet eyes glowing ferally.

"I gave you a chance yet you defied me this much. I tried talking to you as a person now I'm giving you an order as a youkai. ON YOUR KNEES."

Her eyes dilated as she suddenly felt an extreme pressure on her and she drop with enough force to crack the ground. A glowing large halo appeared behind Naruto's back when he spoke those last few words and the fur on his wolf features bristled. She couldn't even fight it as her instincts took over. He was beyond an alpha and she was beneath him. Natural order of things was for her to acknowledge the threat and submit for her own safety. Her body shook as her tails wrapped around her and her cat ears flattened to her head. Age and experience didn't matter now, she had lost. And yet she still wanted her sister yet the tone of her voice was greatly subdued now. As her face was inches from the ground bowing she spoke out shakily.

"P-Please Naruto-sama. Don't take Shirone away from me." Naruto looked sympathetic at how depressed she sounded as he eased up on the pressure.

"I can see that despite how things turned out you do care greatly for your sister and so I can understand how you might feel. But I won't let Koneko go where she doesn't want to go..."

She started to sniffle at that and Naruto let out a breath as he dropped to his knee in front of her.

"Look at it this way Kuroka. I will keep training her and protect her. Clearly she is safer with me and my group than she would be with you and the Khaos Brigade. I have a feeling you don't have many there you would trust your life with so wouldn't Koneko be in more danger going with you? Koneko lives with me now and as long as she wants to she will have a place at my home. You are welcome to live with us too if you want. Could be a good chance for you two sisters to rekindle your relationship. I'll even help mediate things for you if you want."

She looked up at him with hope in her eyes as he gave her a soft smile.

"R-Really!? But I'm a stray and wanted criminal. Wouldn't taking me in cause trouble for you?"

"I do what I want. I have a lot of political sway actually in every major faction in more ways than you know. So being under my roof can ease your worries if you want. You could even join my peerage if you want to. You have a lot of pride but you are also a strong woman so you would be a welcomed addition. Just don't kill me or I'll eat your tails."

He relaxed his body as he stood and started to walk off giving Kuroka something to think about. Tannin seemed to be just about done fighting as Bikou had noticed Kuroka go down and started to head over to pick her up.

He scratched his head as Tsunami flew down towards him as he walked back towards the castle.

"Hnn I should have kept my pants one and not made her wet. Would have made the fight more difficult."

"I know the context and yet what you just said still sounds horrible."

"Shush Nami-chan. Still though I didn't take a whole lot of damage, used minimal energy, and I'm not even tired. Kuroka no doubt underestimated me but she was still strong. She was likely skilled at close combat as well I just didn't give her an opportunity to use it very well. Seems unless the person is a defense time or power type or both it doesn't matter how fast or skilled they are they will still be at a huge disadvantage against me. Shame I didn't get to kill anyone this time though."

An odd thing to say but one thing was for sure. Unless he is fighting a female again the next time he fights he will be very violent about it. He gave Kuroka 100% of his skill in that fight... but only for his Demon Wolf form with minimal techniques. His form while fast was physically his weakest form

- END -


AN: There you go. Naruto didn't want to brutalize Kuroka nor was he in a bad mood so in a way Kuroka got off easy.

I wanted a break from action anime and manga so I watched Himouto Umaru-chan. Really cute and nice anime. The only problem is I think the lightheartedness of it dulled my edge with writing this story so it slowed me down a bit. I've started watching Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans now though so that will fix that issue quick.

Anyway see you guys next time. Give me many reviews and I'll try to have it out in a few days for the next chapter.

Also I added two new drawings on my Deviant of Shio and Miso. Miso definitely came out better. I will draw how Naruto currently looks next but I have to prepare for that as it might be my most detailed drawing.

ZRAI OUT!
