Story Start!
Naruto smiled lightly when he stepped in front of the knocked out Issei. Xenovia had done her job very well in tying Issei up to the center cross in the church, and the boy's shirt was removed so that Naruto could start to place the runes on the boy for the hopefully safe extraction. Naruto really hoped that this boy survived and got himself a nice life after this. The boy deserved the right to a normal life where he wouldn't be targetted by tons of people that saw him as a threat or wanted to make him a slave. It would be best for this normal human boyu to lead a normal life, get a wife one day and have his own family without having to worry about a war between the factions. In Naruto's opinion he was saving this boy from a fate that was worse than death. Naruto had been destined for the kind of life he lead, he was born in a country where people killed each other for money, so there was no way he could have ever lived a normal life.
Issei Hyoudou was a human boy that was unlucky enough to have been born with a Sacred Gear. Naruto would remove it and grant the boy the right to chose how he lives his life, lusting after breasts or calming down one day and becoming a man worthy of the race they shared. Naruto saw the potential in Issei to become a great person, but so long as the boy had his Sacred Gear, he could never have the kind of life Naruto himself sometimes wished he had. A nice quiet life without all of the fighting caused by the Devils, Fallen Angels, Angels, and even Humans. He knew though that he owed his life to the Church for raising him and loving him, so he made the choice to give up his right to have a peaceful life when he sided with one of the factions.
"Hey, it looks like we are going to have company soon." Xenovia stated after a moment when she looked outside the window and saw some people in the distance flying towards them. The figured were too big to be birds, so it was easy to guess that they were the Fallen Angels that had betrayed the Grigori. Naruto didn't even have to tell Xenovia what to do as she summoned Excalibur Destruction and made her way out of the Church so that she could meet up with the enemies. She would take care of them while Naruto took care of the extraction process, which he had already started by opening his book to the back of the entire thing. The pages that centered around extracting Sacred Gears.
The extraction began by having Naruto chant under his breath as the words on his book glowed before copies of the runes started to float into the air and fly towards Issei. Five seperate streams of runes flew at them. One line of runes wrapped around each biscep, one went around his neck with the other going around his waist. These runes glowed as they connected to his skin and the final rune started to curve on his stomach in a circle made of runes. The runes on the stomach filled in completely so that it looked like a giant black spot appeared on Issei's gut. Naruto looked at it for a moment, before he grit his teeth and pressed his hand into Issei's stomach.
No kidding, like water, Naruto's hand was going into the inky blackness of the portal into Issei's soul so that he could rip the Sacred Gear from Issei manually. Naruto could feel his own chakra getting drained so that Issei's soul would heal itself while he ripped it apart. The runes were made to transfer parts of Naruto's chakra into Issei and repair any damage to the male's soul that would have caused him to die from a normal extraction. This was why it was a 40 percent chance of surviving, Naruto's own energy would have to be at least slightly compatable with Issei's soul so that he could repair the actual damage he caused. Naruto groaned at how weird this was, even though it was like his third time extracting a Sacred Gear from somebody, this would be the first time that it took more than a few seconds... the other two people had not lived through the experience.
Of course, those two people had been trying to side with the Devils and use their Sacred Gears to get revenge on the Church for kicking them out. Naruto didn't keep either of the Sacred Gears, prefering to seal them away deep in the catacombs than actually use them himself. They were rather common Sacred Gears, so there had been no reason for him to keep them himself. The more powerful the Sacred Gear though, the higher the chance of survival for the host. Naruto's own energy was super powerful, so only a super powerful soul capable of holding a powerful Sacred Gear was able to use even part of his Chakra to repair their souls properly. People with energy too weak would become overcome with power and madness, before dying quickly and painfully.
Naruto felt around inside of Issei's soul for anything that could be the Sacred Gear, he was already up to his elbow and reaching in deeper to try and rip the gear out as peacefully as he could. Naruto felt something warm a few moments later, before he grabbed something that seemed to have a good amount of heat rushing off of it. Naruto;s glove protected his palms from most fo the heat, while his fingers could feel it burning a bit more. Naruto grit his teeth when he felt something bite onto the exposed part of his arm that was inside of Issei's soul, not protected by his glove. Just for that, he was going to kick the ass of whatever just bit him... why the hell did something just bite him?!
His chakra was being drained at an even greater rate when he grabbed onto whatever had bitten him even tighter, only for his hand to get bitten. Naruto blinked when he felt a small piece of Issei's soul tear off and enter his body, fusing with a part of his soul strangely enough. Naruto had no clue what that was about, but he started to yank on the thing he had in his hand while his chakra was being drained from him at a fast rate. The Fallen Angels had a better method of pulling out Sacred Gears, that much was for sure, but at least Naruto's way had a chance of keeping the host alive.
"Stop biting me, I am trying to give your host a normal life!" Naruto shouted into the portal into Issei's soul, irritation at being bitten over and over starting to get to him. Naruto's arm started to come out of the portal, and on his biscep were bleeding bite marks that stained the floor of the room with his dripping blood. The wounds looked like it had been done by some kind of creature that had a mouth full of only sharp teeth. Naruto's eyes turned red as he tapped into that darker source of power inside of him, and the wounds on his arm sealed up quickly. Naruto's red eyes gained slit pupils and his whisker marks thickened at the use of this strange energy, but the second the wound healed Naruto stopped using the energy and his eyes turned back to normal, as did his whisker marks.
Naruto learned that he could tap into that energy a long time ago, and that when he used it his body healed at a super accelerated rate. The dark chakra in him also caused him to get angry, so he tried to avoid using it until he could find a master of chakra to train him in the uses of chakra. It wouldn't do good for him to go on some kind of rampage because this chakra made him too angry to tell friend from foe. It would seem his use of that energy had scared the shit out of what he was grabbing, because it froze up very quickly, making it easier for Naruto to pull the creature out. As more of Naruto's arm started to come out of the hole in Issei, the creature started to turn into energy.
In Naruto's hand was a red tail, a dragon's tail, and it was thicker so he could assume that this tail belonged to a dragon that was Western in appearance. The energy was shaky in certain areas to show scales, while the underside of the tail was a lighter red and wavy to show the softer part of the scales. Naruto saw Issei's left arm glow as a green orb appeared above his palm, before it soared into Naruto's other open palm. Naruto looked at the orb, before he felt the dragon's grip on it's house loosen enough for Naruto to yank most of it's body out of the boy with one pull, this wasn't the real size of the dragon, but more of a condensed version of this fragment of the dragons soul. Naruto saw that most of the dragon's energy body was red, and it had four legs with claws that showed it was a western dragon. Two wings sprouted from it's back, and it had a thick neck that got thinner the closer it got to the head, which was still inside of Issei.
Naruto blinked when he realized this this Sacred Gear was none other than one of the 13 Longinus, Sacred Gear with the potential to give their users the power to kill a God or Buddha. Of course, just having this Sacred Gear never promised that you would have that amount of power, just that you had the potential for the power. The fact that the humans using them were normally still human sure that they almost never really realized that potential, but some of the people with these gears did realize what they could. Naruto was forced into learning about all kinds of Sacred Gears, but he focused on learning about the more powerful Sacred Gears out there. This was none other than the Sacred Gear named the Boosted Gear.
The Boosted Gear, also known as the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet, was a mid-tier level Longinus that housed the soul of Ddraig the Welsh Dragon inside of it. The main ability of this Sacred Gear was to double the user's power every 10 seconds and stores most of that doubled power away until the user wanted to unleash it in a big burst. It had the potential to 'Boost' the user's power to the point they could defeat a God or Buddha, but the charge up time was what made it hard to use. It was also a big drain on the user's stamina, and your body could only boost itself so many times before you could no longer boost, when you reached your limit. The longer you use it, the greater the degree of drain. This Sacred Gear also had the weakness that it's user gained a weakness to the same things that Dragon's were weak against.
The True Longinus, Zenith Tempest, Annihilation Maker, Dimension Lost, Boosted Gear, Divine Dividing, Regulus Nemea, Canis Lykaon, Sephiroth Graal, Incinerate Anthem, Absolute Demise, Innovate Clear, and Telos Karma were the 13 Longinus in order of strongest to weakest.
'Issei, you are lucky I am doing this for you. The Boosted Gear and the Divine Dividing are well known for fighting against each other in death matches. You may have the Red Dragon Emperor, but you may lose your life against the White Dragon Emperor's wielder.' Naruto thought as Ddraig seemed to struggle again, before Naruto completely pulled the energy dragon out of Issei. The green orb in Naruto's hand turned into energy and shot towards the exposed energy head of the condensed dragon. The energy dragon had green glowing eyes, so Naruto used his free hand to close the portol to Issei's soul, cutting off any chance of escape that Ddraig had.
The dragon stopped struggling when it realized that it was starting to fade away into nothing as it's energy vanished. It had no voice to talk with right now, so Naruto groaned in pain when the dragon turned around and sank it's fangs into his hand again. Naruto saw the energy of the dragon flow into him through the open wound, and the energy condense even further as it glowed brighter, syncing up with Naruto's energy as it fused with Naruto. The blond male groaned and fell to his knees while grabbing his arm when the veins started to bulge on the very same arm with the wound sealing up when the dragon was fully gone. Naruto closed his eyes and focused on his own chakra. Like a world of it's own, Naruto could feel the dragon fusing the Boosted Gear becoming apart of him.
... This was not suppose to happen. Naruto had plans on taking the Boosted Gear back to the Vatican so that it could be sealed away. Naruto was the only person that could do this ritual, and to do it on himself was impossible. Naruto's eye twitched in annoyance at how he was now the wielder of the Boosted Gear, when he didn't even WANT to be it's wielder. Naruto face palmed when he realized that now he had the same weaknesses as a dragon... great. He didn't even want this Sacred Gear, and now he had it's strengths and weaknesses.
Great, just great... well at least Issei was still alive.
He made his life harder but trying to give this guy a normal life, and a chance to live without facing danger every single day. Now he would be in danger every single day from people... oh who was he kidding, he was naturally in danger almost everyday anyway.
He could only hope that Xevovia was having fun right now.
With Xenovia
"I was worried for a moment when I saw there would be three of you, but this was just pathetic." Xenovia said with a scowl on her face when she looked at the piles of feathers on the ground in front of her of different shades of darkness. She had her sword wrapped up again. All it took was a single cut each, and she had killed all three Fallen Angels with no mercy. Unlike Naruto, she saw zero purpose in letting them live. She was fully against letting Raynare live, but she trusted Naruto's judgement in this.
That did not mean that she would make the same choices. Naruto was much kinder in the mercy he gave to Fallen Angels that could be useful. Raynare was a good test subject for the Angel turning process, so of course she would be taken alive. Only one test subject was needed though, so she killed off these Fallen Angels. There was no reason to keep them alive, and transporting them back home would mean wasting more money. Killing them was just a way to save money, and because there was no purpose to letting them live... nothing personal against them, but it was far more effective to just kill them now than let them live and think that they would be able to do something later.
This was boring though, it would take at least a 4 or 6 winged Fallen Angel to pose at least a small challenge to her. Those with 2 wings were cannon fodder at best, with only enough power to take care of normal exorcists, not those trained to be the best of the best. These runts were nothing more than a small annoyance to somebody that had been trained by Griselda, one of the top five female exorcists in the entire world. She trained with Naruto almost every day, and she was his rival in the arts of using swords. The only reason she was weaker than him was because he had more natural brute force than her, and could enhance his own body even further... though she had some freaky brute punching power of her own, she was by no means a martial artist. The art never really appealed to her like it had Naruto, but she did have some very basic hand to hand so that she could survive long enough to get her sword if she ever dropped it in battle.
Xenovia picked up three different shade of black feathers and started to walk back to the Church.
Now all they had to do was report this to the Vatican and wait for them to send the orders for them to return home.
Chapter End!
