Enjoy the chapter, next one should be out sooner
The Moonlight Knight stared evenly at Emerald, who was glarring daggers at the clothed-masked man. Then the Moonlight Knight chuckled softly, while smirking an irrating smirk towards the two women, and their demon women.
"Are we going to fight, or are you, just going to stare at my hansom face all day?" he asked cooly, while waiting for a response. The response he got, was the one he hoped for. Emerald summons a dark ball of electric energy in her hands, and shot it at the arabian cloth man, who dodged at the last minute, making the ball connect with the ground, with the ground beneath his feet shaking intesnly. The Moonlight Knight then ran towards the building where a shock Emerald stood motionless, and then began scaling it with unreal speeds, and before she could realsie it, Emerald was punched high into the air. She gasped for breath, and felt a pain shake through her body.
The Moonlight Knight, then tossed his rose at the sailing Emerald, that pierced through her clothes, and began shocking her with white lightning. Emerald screamed loudly in pain, Kaolinite seeing enough ordered the Heart Snatchers to attack him. The Knight not one to be caught, flipped off the building, then went sailing towards the ground. He then kicked off the building as he was still a fair distance above the ground, and flipped again. The Heart Snatchers were moments from taring him apart, as he landed on the ground in a crouch, before jumping away instantly, and throwing roses at each of the Heart Snatchers shocking them with white lightning.
The Senshi, and Naruto watched all of this in awe, as The Moonlight Knight, handled all ten Heart Snatchers with ease.
"Tuxedo Kamen, I hate to say it, but that guy is doing a better job then you did, when you were The Moonlight Knight," Venus remarked with a small smile, and Tuxedo Kamen glared at her in response.
"That may be, but I would like to know, is why and how he is here?" Mercury wondered as she typed away in her computer, while scanning The Knight with her scanner.
"That guy is defenently a different Moonlight Knight," Mars concluded after watching the silver haired teen, dodge, strike, and flip away from attacks, with grace.
"Why is that, Sailor Mars?" Sailor Moon asked as she eyed The Moonlight Knight suspciously.
"First off, he just scaled a forty foot building with ease. Secondly, he never lost his cool during his fight with the Heart Snatchers, and thirdly, he's a little arrogant," she concluded, watching as The Moonlight Knight caught one of the Heart Snatchers legs, and threw her into her companion, before tossing a rose at the two of them, obliterating them on contact.
"I don't care who the hell he is," Naruto started drawing the others attention. "I just want to find that annoying bastard, Ohjiro," his eyes suddenly gained slits in them, and his eyes flashed white for a moment, before vanishing, and a second later, a feral like grin broke across his face. "Found him," he then dashed off, leaving a group of startled Senshi's, and one Tuxedo Kamen.
"We should help him, before he get's himself killed," Uranus ordered, and Neptune nodded her head in agreement. The others were about to follow after him, but the Shadow Demons started attacking again. "I guess the bastard, doesn't want us to interfere," sneered Uranus as she fired off a 'World Shaking' attack on the demons, destroying them on contact. "Then, we'll just have to blast our way through,"
"Deep Submerge,"
"Burning Madala,"
"Shine Aqua Illusion,"
"Love-me Chain,"
"Oak Evolution,"
"Moon Spiral Heart Attack,"
Tuxedo Kamen threw many roses electricuting many demons, thus begun the demon slaying.
Naruto Uzumaki
"Get out of my way," Naruto shouted, as he kicks another demon away from him, and stabbing it through it's neck with a chakra coated kunai. Naruto looks up, just as five demons leaped towards him, with their claws raised. Naruto glares at them in annoyance, and goes through a few handseals.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu," he shouted, as he blew out mutiple fireballs from his mouth, and incerntating the demons into nothing.
"You think low level demons like these will stop me," Naruto snarled as he continued to run towards the building, where the smirkinig Ohjiro was standing, while slashing through the demons with ease.
"Come, Oujisama, come so I can kill you...again," he smiles sinerstly as he says this, and watches as Naruto scales the building, much like The Moonlight Knight had done earlier. A moment later, Naruto is above Ohjiro with a rasengan in his hand, preparing to strike down the smirking villan.
"TAKE THIS...RASENGAN," he shouted as he thrust his arm forward, but Ohjiro merily sidesteps his attack, and grabs his arm with ease, then aims Naruto's arm down into the building, destroying the roof instantly. Ohjiro, still with Naruto in his grasp, jumps off the building, and towards the ground, while, punching Naruto in his gut, making him gasp for air.
"That was a lot of power in that little swirling ball of energy of yours. If it would have hit me, I would have been in real trouble, and to show you my thanks," he focuses power into the arm holding Naruto, and cocks his arm back. "Die," he said, before he launches Naruto towards the ground, with insane speeds. Naruto's eyes widen in fear, as he sees the ground growing closer and closer. From within his mind, Kyuubi growls in annoyance and begins to force it's chakra out of the seal, and wraps it around Naruto like a cacoon. Ohjiro narrows his eyes at this, just as Naruto impacted the ground with a large explosion. The Senshi, including Tuxedo Kamen all turns to where they heard the explosion, and made there way towards it, while battling through the many demons. When they reached the area, they saw Ohjiro, holding an uncouncious bloody Naruto, by the ends of his hair, with a sneer on his face.
"I can kill you so easily, but where's the fun in that," the group heard him say almost softly. "No, I want to kill you, when your at your best. But until then, I'll allow you to live, but don't think, I won't tortue you until it's time for our final fight. I'll destroy everything you hold close to you, bet on that, Oujisama," he then drops Naruto, and kicks him in the chest with so much force, you could hear his ribs cracking, just as he was sent into a building with a loud crash. He then slowly turns to the glaring Senshi, and cracks a smirk.
"If it isn't Ojousama, her guardians, her love, and Oujisama's guardians," he summons a swriling black ball of energy in his hands, and glares at them. "Maybe I shall kill you all, to give the boy a drive," he walks menacily towards them, only to dodge a sword strike from Moonlight Knight.
"Can't have you attacking them. It'll be bad for everyone, if they were to die," he says casually while jabbing his thumb at the startled senshi. "If you attend to attack, I will strike you down," his tone changes from lighthearted, to dead serious in a second.
"Hmm, like scum such as you, can stop me," Ohjiro snarles as he charges the knight, while firing mutiple dark energy shots at the smirking knight. The Moonlight Knight, dodges the last dark ball, and summons a shinning white rose to his hands.
"What do you plan on doing with that? I'm not as weak as those Heart Snatchers, and those demons," The Knight, smirks in response, and slaps his rose onto his sabre. The sabre begins to glow a bright white, then it flashes brightly, blinding everyone, besides the Moonlight Knight. When the others could see again, they saw that the Moonlight Knight's sabre had changed. It was now a snow white segemented blade, with a pick-like protrusion on each segement.
"Say hello to my sabre's first form, the snake sword, 'Hebitsuki'. Let's see how fast you can move," the Moonlight Knight then charges forewards, and swings his blades towards the dodging Ohjiro, only for his sword to change into a whip at the last second, and catch the teen in his side, making him frit his teeth in pain. The sword rips into his flesh, as the Moonlight Knight, calls his blade back, and it ripped slowly through the sneering teen's flesh, very slowly, before the Knight ripped it out all at once.
"I did tell you, that I would strike you down, if you choose to attack," Ohjiro snarls at him in anger, and studies the Knight closely, before his eyes lands on his blade.
"That blade, I recongnize it now," the Moonlight Knight's eyes narrow slightly, but says nothing, and continues to watch the wounded Ohjiro. "Why do you posses that sword?" the Knight chuckles at his question, and aims his sword to the side, cutting through mutiple demons as it changes into a whip, he then calls it back a second later.
"That's for me to know, and for you to never find out," he remarked with a grin, before swing his sword in its whip form down at the glaring Ohjiro, who simply vanished in a blask whisp of smoke, the second before it struk him.
"Sorry, but I don't feel like dying today, I will accept my lost, and recall my demons. Until next time, Oujisama, Ojousama, Senshi, Earth Oujisama. When I return, I will kill the Moon Oujisama, along with you, Moonlight Knight," Ohjiro's voice was heard all throughout the clearing, before it vanished without a trace, along with the Shadow Demons. The Moonlight Kight sighs, before his sword transform back into his sabre, and the shinning white rose, once again appears in his hand, before vanishing. The Knight then turns to leave, but Sailor Jupiter shouts out to him, stopping him in his tracks.
"Tell us who you are?" she shouted, as she held the uncouncious Naruto in her arms. The Knight simply smiles behind his mask, and gives her his answer, while watching as the toads hopping back towards the area, with the uncouncious Chibiusa, and Hotaru on his back.
"I said it before, I'm the Moonlight Knight," he answers with a slightly irritated sigh.
"How is that possible? Tuxedo Kamen was the Moonlight Knight," Sailor Moon protested with a frown on her usual happy face.
"Is that so?" he askes as he turns to stare the Moon Princess in the eye. "He must be the being, I felt tapping into my powers, while I was asleep. If Queen Selenity, had not explain the situation to me at the time, I would have killed him for using my powers without permission. Earth Prince or not, Princess Serenity's love or not, I would have killed him, the moment I had awaken," his voice was so cold, it sent shivers down everyones spines, and to make sure he got his point across, he sent a pule of power from his body, and the others were blown back slightly. "If that is all, I bid you all farewell," he then vanishes in a white flash of light.
"He wasn't serious, was he?" Sailor Moon asked in disblief, while staring at the others, who refused to stare her in the eye, until, Uranus broke it with a sigh.
"I hate to say it, but that guy was, and by the tone of his voice, and the look in his eye. I say he would have done, what he said, and killed him, without a moment of hesitation," the others turns to her in alarm, and watches as she begins to walk away, with Neptune not to far behind her.
"Why don't you join us, and fight against the new enemy, who wishes to kill the rest of us Royals. If that Ohjiro guy is strong enough, to do this to Naruto, and is able to summon so many demons at once, who knows what else he, or his comrades may be capable of," Juipter reasoned, as she heard Naruto moan in pain, causing her to send a worry glance in his direction for a brief second, before turning back to Uranus, and Neptune.
"We'll see," Uranus answers before walking away, with Neptune at her side.
"We should get going, and take Naruto back to his home," Tuxedo Kamen said, and the others nodded there heads agreeing with him.
"Alright, but we have to retrive, Chibiusa, and Hotaru," Venus said, just as Gama appeared with the Naruto clone, and the uncouncious Chibiusa, and Hotaru. "Nevermind,"
"I got here as quick as the boss fell uncouncious. I brought the brat and Hotaru back as well," he explains, and then he turns to Gama. "Thanks for the help again Gama, tell Gamabunta, Naruto said hello," Gama croaked and then vanishes in a explosion of smoke. The Naruto Clone catches the sleeping Chibiusa, as Tuxedo Kamen catches Hotaru. "Come on, let's head to Boss's house,"
"Boss," Mercury asked with a confused expression on her face.
"Yea, since I'm a clone, all clones consdier the original as Boss," the clone explains, as he runs through the streets with the Senshi. "But I won't be able to stay like this much longer, I have at least ten minutes, before I disperse,"
"Alright, let's get moving then," Venus shouted with a burst of energy, making the others stare at her, as she slowly pulls ahead of everyone else.
"Defenintly wierd," the clone muttered as he continues to run towards the Boss's home.
Naruto's Mindscape
"This is different," Naruto said as he surved his sourroundings. He was standing in a middle of a white ballroom, where there where many engravings lining the wall. He recongnizes them as the symbols of the planets sourrounding the earth, including the earth itself. The moon symbol had two symbols and both of them were shining brightly. The only thing seprating them, was that they were shining different colors and were also connected to different symbols. The first moon symbol was shinning a bright white color and it was connected to the Earth symbol, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Juipter, and Pluto. The second Moon Symbol was shinning a bright silver color and was connected to Juipter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. But only the Silver Moon symbol, Saturn Symbol, and the Jupiter Symbol was glowing in color, along with the White Moon color and the Earth Symbol. What struk him as odd, was that the two Moon Symbol's weren't connected together and for reasons unknown to him, he felt sadness, along with satisfaction as he saw this.
"How do you like the new structure of your mind, Naruto?" Naruto spun around, and saw the Moonlight Knight standing behind him, with his sabre in his hand. "You are slowly begining to awake, this is the reason why, your mind is like this, instead of a sewer like it once was,"
"Why are you in here? And what the hell are you talking about?" Naruto asked with a deadly tone to his voice.
"I called him here, making a deal with him," Kyuubi said as he walks into the room in his human form. He had long red hair, blazing red eyes, and he was wearing a black robe with red armor covering him body. Strapped to his side were three swords, with one of the swords raditing blood lust.
"Kyuubi, how are you out of your cage?" Naruto askes with his guard preparing to fight the Kyuubi to the death, if he had to. Naruto had no idea, how close that statement was to why, Kyuubi and the Moonlight Knight was in his mindscape at the moment.
"As he said, he made a deal with me, but it will be up to you, to accept it," Naruto had no idea why, but he decided to listen to what the two were going to say.
"Brat, to put it simple. There is a power within you, and it is slowly killing me. Your sealed power, is so pure that it is purifying the youki energy within me and within a matter of weeks there would be no more Kyuubi," Naruto felt sadness was through him, as he heard this, but he quickily pushed those feelings away. Naruto had always thought of Kyuubi, as an annoying, really annoying older brother, but he would never, not even in a million years, tell the proud Demon King this. Naruto too had pride, and he be damn, if he told the walking piece of fur this. Unbeknowist to Naruto, Kyuubi felt the same about him, but also like him, he would never tell him that, he would rather, fight all eight biju, then tell him that.
"So in the last effort to save himself, he called me here, to make a deal. He would fuse all of his power into your body, before you fully awaken, thus turning you into a demon. And when the time comes, your other power would fuse with you and you will techiqually become one of the most powerful beings in exestence,"
"And in doing this, you would become the new Kyuubi, but you would have to wait a few thousand years before you can actually battle for the thrown in Makai. Even with my power you would stand no chance against any high level demon with true power but that explanation is for another time," Kyuubi coughs a few times, before continuing. "When my power fuses with you, I will have to make you a new chakra system to handle the power and when I do this, you will gain a special transformations, but I will explain those at a later date. The same could be said and done with your Holy Energy. That too will have it's own chakra system and transformation, but I will allow the Knight to explain it when the time comes,"
"What happens to you Kyuubi, if I decided to accept this deal," Naruto askes cautiously.
"His power will become yours and he will be nothing but a wondering spirit within in your mind and plane," answers the Moonlight Knight, as he continues to hold his saber.
"Plane? What do you mean plane?"
"Other than this being your mindscape this palace is also connected to the ones who are the most close to you. For instance the Saturn Girl, who you call Hotaru is connected to you. So you are able to venture over to her mind or talk to her telephatily. This mindscape, is not only located within your mind, it is also located within the Royal Plane where you are able to travel to the minds of the others or talk to them through a mind link, as long as they are connected to you and that their symbol is shining the same color as yours,"
"Okay, but's what the deal with the two moons and why are they not connected? And why are you talking as if I have any connection to these people? I only met Hotaru a day ago. No matter what you say, there is no way for someone to be connected so easily," Kyuubi and the Moonlight Knight stare at Naruto in surprise and shock.
"He's truly smarter, than he let's on,"
"He has his moments,"
"Quit talking as if I'm not here," Naruto shouted in annoyance.
"You are correct. There is no possible way for them to be connected to you, but they are so deal with it. And how they are, let's just say that the Silver Moon Symbol repesents you and the other Tsukino Usagi, or Sailor Moon. The reason why you two are not connected is because of an incident that has happen a very long time ago and it is something that you will have to remember on your own time,"
"Whatever, just tell me the rest of this deal crap," Naruto muttered, also feeling that he didn't want to talk about the incident the Knight was talking about.
"If you accept the terms, you will have to be put through a trial, to deem if your worthy to accept my power. The same could be said with your Holy Power. The Knight here has said that enough of your power has leaked through, for it to merge with your body and to awaken your hidden chakra system,"
"What do I have to do,"
"Do you accept,"
"I do, now tell me what I have to do,"
"You have to fight the both of us for five whole hours...each," 'Amongst other things but that will come later,' Kyuubi secretly adds mentally, watching as Naruto pale as he said this and wonders if he'll survive this. "And I'm your first opponent, now draw your sword," Kyuubi drew one of his weapons, and it changes into a giant haleberd, radiating blood lust. Naruto feels the pressure around his body growing heavy and feels fear begining to overtake him.
"Are you giving up already, draw your sword, and stand," Kyuubi growls and Naruto slowly gets to his feet. He looks down at himself and sees that his appearance had changed. He was now wearing a white pants, white sandals, a white shirt, with a long-sleeved, ankle-length white coat, with silver lining. Strapped to his waist, was a pure white daito, with the handguard in the shape of a crescent moon, with a short white chain connected at the hilt. Naruto drew the sword and got into a stance that was familiar, yet not.
"Now, let's see if your worthy," Kyuubi then charges Naruto who charges him as well with his sword pulsing with power.
"Yes, lest's see if you are truly worthy, Naruto,"
Real World
"Is Naruto going to be alright?" Makoto asked in worry, as she watched Naruto flinch in pain, while making grunting noises in his sleep.
"His body has already healed, but his mind is under a lot of stress," Ami explains as she places a wet cloth on his burning forehead. "He'll just need rest, there's nothing to worry about," Makoto nods her head, but refuses to leave Naruto's side. "Makoto-chan, I'll be downstairs with the others, will you be okay, by yourself," Makoto nods her head silently, and Ami leaves the room, to join the others in Naruto's living room.
"How is Naruto, Ami-chan?" Usagi askes, as she stares at her friend, awaiting an answer.
"Physically, he is fine, but mentally, I'm not so sure,"
"How long do you think he'll be out?" asked Minako, as she chewed on a left over cookie.
"I estimate, a few hours at most and Makoto will tell us when he awakens," Minako nods her head and Mamoru speaks up next.
"Ohjiro, he called Naruto, Haku-oujisama, and Moon Prince. Is it possible that he was related to Usagi back in the Silver Milinneium?" Usagi and the others turns to stare at him. "He said that he is in an organization, that is hunting the Royals of the Siilver Milnnieum and he claims that Naruto is the Moon Prince and that Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune was his protectors, as Sailor Venus, Mars, Juipter, and Mercury are Usako's. This makes me believe that, he is your younger brother, from your past life Usako," Usagi's eyes slightly narrows at this, but she couldn't deny the logic behind her love's words.
"That may be true, but the name Haku, doesn't quite feel right. It feels almost false, but I do believe what you say is true, Mamo-chan," Minako narrows her eyes at Usagi in slight confusion and worry.
'Usagi has taken a serious personalilty change. Why is she so serious and understanding? Usually she would take a while to understand, even the simplest of things, maybe it was just an act this whole time,' she thought warily, but decided not to quest Usagi on it. She was quite afraid of her at the moment. No one had really noticed, but when Naruto was in Ohjiro's grasp, Usagi's eyes were as cold as ice and she was realeasing tiny waves of power from her body. If Minako didn't know any better, she would say that she was about ready to kill Ohjiro for what he had done to Naruto. But like earlier, she wasn't going to speak about it. Minako knew, that Uranus and Neptune, had felt Usagi's power spike, by the wary glances they were throwing her, but had continued on the task at hand.
"And let's not forget, the Moonlight Knight," Ami added in, knocking Minako out of her thoughts. "His appearance is also troubling. Why did he appear before us?"
Don't know, but he was packing a lot of power," Minako started with a frown on her face. "He was a lot stronger than you were Mamoru-san when you were the Moonlight Knight. No offense though," she added quickly, seeing the slightly angry expression on Usagi's face.
"None taken, but your right. He is more powerful than I was. And what he said about killing me...still has me on edge," Mamoru admitted with a frown.
"To think he would have killed you if it wasn't for my mother. This just keep getting better and better," Usagi mubles to herself with a frown on her face, just as her stomach growl loudly and she blushes while scratching the back of her head in embarassment. "Do you think Naruto would mind if I grabbed myself some food?"
"I'll make you something, Usagi-san," Usagi turns around to see Hotaru walking in the kitchen a little weakly, but manages to keep herself on her feet. "Would sandwiches do?"
"Yea it would. Are you alright Hotaru?" Hotaru smiles weakly, but nods her head with a sweat dripping down her face and her breathing became irragular.
"I'm fine just a little tired, I'll have your meal done in a few," she replies softly and maker her way into the kitchen. When she reached the kitchen, she began coughing up blood into her hands.
'Blood...why?'
"This is the price you pay for using the Death Scythe, Hotaru," Saturn answers with a frown, as she walks towards the Moon once again where the sounds of battle were raging.
'But you said, that I would only become weaker,'
"I did, but you used a powerful attack, in conjuction with the Death Scythe. If you would have used that attack once more, you would be no more and would have to be reborn,"
'I depleted my energy much faster, when I used the Death Cyclone attack. And my body couldn't handle the strain,'
"That is correct, Hotaru. You still have a ways to go, before you are fully ready to handle the powers of Saturn," Hotaru was about to reply, but she felt a hand on her shoulder and she quickly spun around to come face to face with a worried Usagi.
"Oh my gosh, Hotaru, your coughing up blood. Let's get you washed up and back to bed," Usagi said in panic as she guided Hotaru to the bathroom.
"But your food," Hotaru tried to protest but Usagi gave her a small glare in response.
"My stomach could wait, you need medical attention, and rest. Ami, Hotaru needs some help," shouted Usagi, as she watches Hotaru washing herself down.
'I feel sleepy,' this was Hotaru's last councious thought, before she collapses right into Usagi's arms.
Royal Plane - Silver Half of the Moon - Naruto's Mindscape
Naruto holds up his blade, just as Kyuubi's giant halberd slammed down onto his sword, with tremendous force, causing a crater to form under their forms. Silver and red lightning shot out of the two swords and Naruto felt his arms becoming numb under the strain.
'I can't give this bastard the satisfaction...of seeing me lose,' Naruto slowly pushed himself off the crouch he was in and flips away, just as the sword crashes down on the ground, pulling up chunks of ground. The Moonlight Knight watches the fight with interest and turns his head slightly, as he feels a presence enters Silver's Domain.
"Whose there?" Sailor Saturn walks out from the shadows with her Silence Glaive in her hand, with Hotaru by her side, looking extremly nervous. "It's you two. I was wondering, when the two of you would get here," he says just as Naruto is hit with the blunt end of Kyuubi's blade, and was sent crashing through a wall.
"Come brat, is that all you have? Because if it is, then all of your precious people will die, thanks to your lack in power and drive," Naruto growls at him, as he makes his way out the hole he was just in. Naruto's sword begins to pulse with power once again and Naruto raises it into the air, with his eyes glowing a fierce silver. His hair gained a silver tint and the air sourrounding the area grew incredible heavy. Hotaru was forced to her knees, while trying to get her breathing under control. Saturn seeing her deliema, places her hand on Hotaru's shoulder and her counter part, found that it was much easier for her to breathe again. She slowly gets back to her feet and uses Saturn as her support to remain standing.
"Wha...what...is that?" she pants, while staring at the glowing Naruto with wide eyes.
"It's called Spiritual Pressure, Hotaru," Saturn answers as she feels the air around them getting even heavier, making her shiver slightly, but manages to stay on her feet.
"Can I use this spritual pressure stuff?"
"You can, but it will come to you like a primal instinc like it is for him," the Moonlight Knight explains and Hotaru nods her head in understanding.
"Exuse me, but who are you?"she askes in confusion.
"The Moonlight Knight and may I ask your name young lady?"
"Tomoe Hotaru," she answers with a small blush on her cheeks. Saturn ignores them and watches as Naruto swings his blade down at Kyuubi, releasing a silver energy blast with a white outline in the shape of a crescent moon.
"Gin Getsuga," Naruto shouted, as he fired mutiple energy blast from his blade, towards the grinning Kyuubi, who merily deflected each blast with his own sword.
"Nice try, but not good enough," Kyuubi said as he resumes his attack on the panting Naruto. He came in with a overhead strike, but Naruto jumps over the slice and lands on the blade with a crouch, then kicks Kyuubi in his face, sending him staggering a bit. This was the opening Naruto was waiting for, as he landed on the ground in a crouch, then he rushes at Kyuubi with all the speed he could muster and cuts Kyuubi across his armor covered chest, breaking it into many pieces.
"Well done brat, that was exactly five hours. Now come here," Naruto did as he was told, while strapping his sword back to his waist. Kyuubi then places his claw on Naruto's head and he begins to glow a blood red color. His hair momentarly changes red, along with his eyes, his whiker marks take on a feral appearance and his fangs appear out of his mouth while it was still closed. His sword also changes from a white daito, to a blood red katana with a long red chain. However, as soon as the changes appeared, they vanished and Naruto's appearance had return to normal.
"There brat, now you have access to your own supply of yoki. It will take a few weeks before my power is fully merged with your body, so this will have to do for now," Naruto nods his head happily and collapses to one knee.
"Thanks Kyu. But how to I access my yoki and go through the transformation you had spoken about earlier?"
"Search for it and you'll know what the power will feel like," Naruto glares at his nonchalant response, but nodded none the less. He turns to the Moonlight Knight and was surprised to see Hotaru and someone who could be her twin there with him.
"Hotaru-chan why are you here? And whose your twin?"
"I don't know why I'm here. The last thing, I remember is washing myself up and the next minute, I'm here with Sailor Saturn," she explains, while staring at Naruto's piercing blue eyes.
"I brought you here, to show you, what you may be facing in the near future, with Mistress Nine. You will either face her in your mind, like he is or face her in reality. I also wanted you to get used to this plane, called the Royal Plane. It is where all the Royals are connected mentally, spiritually, and physically. What ever happens here, happens to your real body. Luckily for him, he has not left his domain, if he had, his body would be injured and most likely decimated. But this will only stay like that, until he regains his full memories and then, even if he remains in his castle he can still be harm on the outside world, as well as this one," she explained as she ignored the shocked Hotaru and turned her attention to the Moonlight Knight.
"Are you going to start now?"
"I am, Naruto it's my turn," The Moonlight Knight said as he walks pass the smirking Kyuubi with a smirk on his face.
"Draw your blade, and let's begin,"
Three Hours Later - Real World
Naruto slowly opend his eyes, from his nightmareish trial and saw a shocking sight. Makoto's head was resting on his chest, with her hand gripping his own, in a firm but soft embrace. Naruto stared down at her for a few more seconds, while studying her face carefully. To Naruto, she looked like an angel and he didn't want to wake her, but knew that he had to.
"Makoto-chan," he whispers softly, while shaking her gently. "Wake up, Makoto-chan," she begins to stir, but wouldn't wake, he attmepts once more, but the girl wouldn't wake. He sighs and gives up, while staring up at the ceiling with a frown on his face.
"Naruto-sensei, need some help?" Naruto slowly turns where he heard the voice coming from and saw Chibiusa sitting in a chair by his window with a magazine in her hand. "Are you sure that you want to wake her up? She does look comfortable," Naruto blushes at this and was about to shout at her, but Makoto's voice stopped him.
"Naruto-kun..." she moaned while rubbing the sand out of her eyes. "Must have fell asleep," she blinks and turns to the blushing Naruto, then to the giggling Chibiusa. Makoto then blushes as she realises what position she was just in with Naruto.
"Sorry Nar-" she was cut off when Naruto placed his finger to her lips, making her blush deepen. Chibiusa's eyes widen at the development and wonders what evolve Naruto's brain from the oblivious factor, but then notices the strange glint in Naruto's eyes.
"No need to apologise, Makoto-chan," he spoke huskly in Makoto's ear making her shiver in delight. "I'm glad that you watched over me for so long, I never really had anyone do that for me before," noticing the sad look in Naruto's eyes, she pulled him in for a gentle hug. At this point, Chibiusa silently made her way to the exit, not wanting to ruin the moment between the two.
"Naruto, I don't understand why, but I feel deeply attactched to you, so attatched it hurts to be away from you for long periods of time. I want you to know, that I will always be there for you and never leave your side," Naruto heard the sincerity in her voice and Naruto felt warmth pass through his body. He said nothing in response, but he did something that surprised them both, he gently brought Makoto in for a kiss, it wasn't long, but it held a lot of meaning in it for the both of them, but one thing that they both could say that they felt between the two of them was love.
"Makoto, sorry I-," Naruto was cut off this time, when Makoto kissed him and Naruto was shock, but the shock quickly wore off and he kissed her back. From outside the door, Chibiusa heard the sounds of kissing and smiles happily and made her way down to where the others were.
"Chibiusa, how's Naruto?" Rei asked as she and others waited for a verdict on their blond haired companion.
"He's fine, Makoto's taking real good care of him," she smiles at them and they each are confused on why she would stress those two words, and being the courious person that she was, Minako walks up to the room, only to hear soft moaning coming from there and she walks back to where the others were, with a blush on her cheeks.
"Chbiusa is right guys. Makoto is taking very good care of Naruto," to make her point clear, she points to Mamoru and Usagi, and made kissy faces, making everyone's eyes widen in realisation.
"I wonder if they'll name one of their kids after me," Minako wonders completly oblivious to the looks she was reciving from her friends. "I'll be outside training," Chibiusa walks out to the training grounds with Hotaru following close behind her. "I'm going to watch them and analysie their training exercises so I can adapt it to out own training routine," Ami walks out after the two. "I will join them...I need to get stronger," Usagi turns to Mamoru to see him watching them leave, before sighing, getting to her feet and walking towards the door. "Mamo-chan, we have to get stronger as well...I don't want a repeat of what had happened today to happen again," when Usagi spoke, Mamoru swore he saw the outline of Princess Serenity overlapping her form, but plays it off as a trick of the light, but he knew better than to think that.
"Your right Usako, let's join the others," Usagi walks calmly outside to see Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, and Minako punching a log with their bare hands. Ami was leaning against a tree scanning the four girls training forms into her computer. Luna and Artemis sat besides Ami and watch as their girls punched away at the log. Usagi watches this with a nervous sweat going down her face and slowly turns to Mamoru, who was watching them with a raised eyebrow.
"On second thought...I," before she had the chance to protest, Makoto appears behind Usagi and grabs her by the wrist and drags her to one of the training logs. "Where you come from Makoto?" Usagi shouts as she tries to run away from the grinning thunder senshi. "Your not going to run away, before you even had the chance to train Usagi-chan," Makoto said sweatly as she placed Usagi by a log, then went to her own log. Naruto soon appeared behind the group wearing his Shinobi gear and askes each of the girls to stop training, except for Hotaru, Makoto, and Chibiusa.
"First off, if your going to train with us, your going to have change clothes. I have some training gear for the girls in Hotaru's room and I have some extra clothes for you Mamoru-san in my own room," Naruto places his hands in a single seal and two clones appear. "These two will show you where the rooms are and when you all return, I will begin making your training schedule," they each followed the clones to the seprate rooms. Ten minutes later the group returned wearing similar, yet different clothing.
Mamoru wore a black shirt, blue combat pants, and black shoes. Usagi, a white shirt, blue combat pants, and black shoes. Ami, a blue shirt, black combat pants, and black shoes. Rei, a red shirt, black shorts, and black shoes. Minako a golden-yellow shirt, blue shorts and white shoes.
"I have to know," Naruto starts in a cold tone. "Why do you wish to gain training from me?" Usagi was the one who spoke, but when she did, it was just as cold as Naruto's voice. "It's our duty to protect this planet and universe from any threat. Not to mention, we have friends who live here, we will not allow some creep from the negaverse to take what we hold dear," Naruto nods in acceptance at her explanation. "Once you start training, you can not back out once you begin. Look at these three..." he motions them towards Hotaru, Chibiusa, and Makoto who was punching the log with bloody hands, but they ignored them and continues punching them. "They have what it takes to make it through my training, they have what it takes to be great warriors. Do you all posses the same drive as them...to protect what's precious to you, to move pass the pain and continue on?" they each nod in unison and Naruto smiles brightly at them.
"Good, but before we begin, I need to do something," he creates four clones and he walks up to Usagi who glares at him, while the other clones stood in front of the others. "Hold out your hands, this will hurt," each of the Narutos grab onto their person's hands and focus Kyuubi's chakra into their hand, willing them to circle around their wrist and ankles. The group let out a muffled whimper or in Mamoru's case a painful moan. Once it was done the clones vanished from lack of chakra and Naruto stepped away from them.
Naruto then places his hands in a seal focusing on their wirst and anklebands. They eached glowed momentarily, before hitting the ground face first.
"Fifteen pounds on each limb should be okay for now," he said more to himself than to the others. "Once you all manage to get to your feet, I need these things done for your warm-up exercises," he coughs a few times and smirks at them. "250 sit-ups, 250 push-ups, 250 squats, 300 punches against the log with both limbs, 300 kicks against the log with each limb and to finish it off for the warm-up...run around my house 20 times," they eached moaned in despair, except for Mamoru, who slowly rose to his feet and began stretching. Naruto stared at him in surprise, but shrugs with a small smirk on his face. "And once finish with that, I will teach you all how to draw on your chakra and other related things...good luck," Luna and Artemis watches as Naruto takes a kunai from a tree and throws it into the ground, with it's sharp in pointing into the sky. Naruto then holds out his finger and it glows a bright blue color, he then places it on the kunai and pushes his body into the air.
Luna watches as Naruto remains in the air with his eyes sqiunted as he tried to keep his body balanced on the kunai.
"Aretmeis, this Naruto, maybe we can get him to train them everyday of the week when they're not doing anything important," Luna suggest and Artemeis agrees fully on her request. "We should talk to him after today's training day," Artremis gives the girls a sadistic look as he watched them work.
The white cat then turns to Makoto to see her now kicking the log with Hotaru, and Chibiusa. "Wonder how long Makoto's been doing this?" he asked himself as he turns to Naruto, who was now pushing himself up on the kunai with sweat dripping down his face.
Mamoru was already on his push-ups making Naruto stare at him in surprise.
'This guy sure is dedicated,'
"Got that right,"
Two hours later after warm-ups and a few spars, Naruto stood in front of the group.
"Usagi, Minako, Ami, Rei, and Mamoru," they each waited for him to continue. "I will now be showing you all how to summon your chakra. I want each of you nto place your hands in this seal and focus on your energy, not your sensehi energy, but another one a firey one and bring it to the surface," he commands and after fixing Usagi's and Minako's hands they all tried to bring out their chakra.
Rei's chakra shot out of her and reached to a level of high chunin, her chakra was blue, red, and a darker red. Minako's was high chunin as well and her chakra colors were; blue, orange, and yellow. Ami's chakra was also high chunin and her chakra colors were; blue, dark blue, and light blue. Mamoru's chakra level was around low jounin and his chakra colors were; blue and gold.
But it was Usagi's that shocked Naruto the most. Her chakra levels was around high jounin and shot out of her like a rocket knocking almost everyone around her to the ground, her chakra colors were; blue, light pink, gold, and white.
"ENOUGH," Naruto shouts stopping them and Naruto turns his eyes onto Usagi who was panting slightly, before turning her eyes onto Naruto. The two stared at one another for a brief minute, befoe sighing in unison and Naruto finally spoke.
"You all have very high chakra levels and like I told the others, without control, power is nothing. To help with this, I'm going to teach you all how to climb trees," Usagi had a twitch in her eye at this.
"But we already know how to climb trees," she deadpanned, but then stared at Chibiusa as Naruto nodded towards her, and she effortlessly climb the tree with a smug grin on her face. "Nevermind," she said quietly as she glared at the smirking Chibiusa.
"Right, to do this exercise, you must focus chakra onto your feet and begin climbing. A word advise, stay focus on your goal, and use these kunai to mark your progress, the moment your about to fall," he threw kunai at each of their feet. "Begin," after seeing Usagi fall after her first three steps, Naruto turned to his other students/companions.
"You three, I believe now it's time to work on your next form of chakra control...water walking," he smiles and begins his long explanation of things and once he was finish the girls went to work. Chibiusa focused chakra into her feet and walked onto the lake slowly.
First step...good...second step...still good...third step...she fell in soaking her body from head to toe. Makoto pretty much did the same, but Hotaru watching from their experience, went about the exercise a different way. Focusing chakra into her feet she slowly walked onto the pond and stood still the moment she reached a far enough distance. She felt her feet sinking a bit, so she focused more chakra into her feet pushing herself back ontop of the pond. Smiling she stayed like that and waited until she was ready to walk out more.
Naruto saw this and smiles at the girl for figuring it out...in her own way of course. He turns to Chibiusa to see her staring at Hotaru intently with determanation burning in her eyes. The pink-haired girl walks out into the pond, focusing chakra into her feet as she sunk and made it to Hotaru in a time span of five minutes. It took Makoto a little longer to complete the exercise, but she was done and she was now doing push-ups on the water.
"They progess a lot faster than I did," Naruto said to himself and frowns as he sees the setting sun. He looks over to the tree climbers to see Mamoru resting at the top, much to Naruto's surprise. 'Really dedicated...Usagi could learn something from him,' he sweatdrops as he sees Usagi angrily kicking the tree then howling in pain as she held her foot.
"We should call it quits for today...I know it won't be safe for anyone to walk out at night," they all nodded and Usagi rubbed her foot one last time, before attempting climbing the tree again. This time she reached a little bit passed the halfway mark on the tree, before flipping off and then continued on again.
'What's driving her foreward like this,' unknown to Naruto the others were thinking along the same thoughts as him. After finally reaching the top of the tree in twenty minutes time everyone headed off home, with Naruto walking Makoto home with Hotaru walking Chibiusa.
"Makoto-chan, this is strange," she stares at him questionably. "I mean, we only known each other for a few days...and I feel as if I known you my whole life. We barely even know each other, and yet..." she nods in understanding. Makoto clearly remembered when Usagi and Mamoru were nothing, but bitter enimies, who acted nothing but children towards each other. Sure it was obvious that they had a thing for each other no matter how small it was...but once they retrived their passed memories, they were all lovey dovey. Makoto didn't know should she be confused or understanding, but she did know, that the feelings that they did have for each other must have doubled as time went on and the memories they had of each other solid their feelings.
"I know what your saying Naruto-kun and I know how we can smooth things out for us," now it was Naruto's time to stare at her. "We take it slow, not too fast, just smooth and easy...a growing couple. Plus I believe it would be too strange for us to start dating without knowing much about each other," a grin suddenly spread across Naruto's face. "Makoto-chan," Makoto paused as he said her name. A blush crept across her face as she saw him staring directly into her eyes with a charming smile on his face. "I was thinking...if your not doing anything tonight...you and I can go on a date?" he asked a little timidly, Makoto sensing his feelings, gave his hand a soft squeeze.
"I would love to Naruto-kun," she said as she opened the door to her apartment. "What time will you pick me up?" Naruto smiled and whispered in her ear. "Around Eight tommorow night," she smiles and kisses Naruto gently on the cheek. "See you then Naruto," Naruto smiles and watches as she closes the door behind her. Sighing, Naruto made his way home, knowing Hotaru would be staying with Chibiusa for the night.
As he walked through the night, Naruto felt two pair of eyes on him. Turning to where he felt the eyes from, he saw nothing, spreading out his senses, Naruto felt two large chakra levels in the area. Running towards a building he scaled up it and shot up into the air to get a better look at his sorroundings. Levitating slightly in the air, he turned his head and saw nothing or no one around. That's when he felt gravity taking control once again and he landed on the roof in a crouch. Naruto then rolls away just as many silver kunai stuck the place he was previously standing. Turning his head, he saw a girl around his age standing on the edge of the building.
The girl had shoulder-length slighty spiky brown hair, with a few bangs falling over her right dark blue eye. She was dressed in a black coat, a close fitting white shirt with the moon planet symbol on black imprinted on the center of her shirt, black jeans with black and green boots. On her left arm was a kunai holster and on her back was a sword as big as her body.
"Nice reflexes...let's see how good you really are," the girl said before charging Naruto again. Naruto bats away her inital strike and counters with a back hand. The girl seeing it, grabs hold of his arm and tosses him over her shoulder, then kicks him in the chest, sending him crashing across the ground. Quickly returning to his feet, Naruto scan the area for the girl and saw four energy balls shooting towards him. Jumping into the air, Naruto curses himself as he finds himsef in the worse place he could be at the moment, it becomes even worse, when he hears the familiar sound of birds chirpirng. Turning around so he was looking above him, he saw the girl holding a green chidori in her hands. Eyes widnening, and not bothering with asking himself how she knows Kakashi's and Sasuke's technique, he holds out his right hand and a perfect rasengan appeared in it...but he added more power into it with a little of his yoki mixed into it, turning it into a purple color and making it twices as big. The girl dives down towards Naruto with a murdious glare on her face. Naruto creates a clone using no seals and has it launched him towards the mystery girl. As the two were mere inches from each other they called shouted the name of their attacks.
"Rasengan!"
"Royal Chidori,"
A large explosion rocked the area and people everywhere looked out their windows to see two bright lights shooting from the light filled explosoion. One of the lights was dark purple, while the other was a light green light. The two lights shot off in opposite directions the purple light near the river and the green light towards the forest. The other chakra signature that Naruto had sensed earlier, who had watched the wholer fight, took off like a rocket towards the forest. The girl's companion found her lieing uncouncious with her face in the dirt. Once her companion got a good look at her, she saw that the other girl was smiling as she slept.
"Had fun did you sister," the white-haired girl said as she lifts her older sister off the ground and makes her way home. Her green eyes lingered on her older sister a little longer, before turning to the sky at the shining moon. "We have a lot to accomplish while here...it's best we don't let the wrong people find out about us...until it's time...right sister," as she walked she heard her sister mumbling her father's name in her sleep, causing the younger girl to smile sadly. As she exited the forest, she saw a woman who could be indetified as a Sailor Senshi staring up at the moon with a soft smile on her face. Her long green hair blew in the wind as she tore her red eyes from the moon and onto the white-haired girl.
"Sailor Pluto," the girl greets with a smile. "Hayate, everything is ready for you at your new home," Pluto said quietly turning back to the moon. "Thank you Plu," Pluto nods and raises her staff in the air. "Miyako and I will take care of everything and will call for you when we are ready to return," Pluto nods and vanishes in a white flash. "Now to save father..." Hayate said as she slowly walked into the city.
Near the river two familiar women stood by the river searching around it.
"Michiru, did you find him yet?" Haruka asked as she tried to sense for Naruto's presence through the wind. "I found him Haruka," Michiru points to the center of the river, where mutiple air bubbles could be seen. Cursing, Haruka made her way to a nearby motorboat and took off towards the area. A few minutes later she reached the area and placed her cellphone on the boat, before diving into the river with some goggles over her eyes. Swimming deeply, Haruka found who she was looking for, but what she saw shocked her.
Naruto was suspended in the water in a white energy orb, but that was not the only thing that shocked her. What did was the crescent moon symbol shining brightly on his forehead. As she slowly made ger way towards him, her own planet symbol appeared and shined brightly as she grabbed his hands, they were both sorrunded by a bright light that shot into the air. Michiru watched this in awe and her planet symbol also appeared on her hand as the white light washed over her, engulfing her in it's aura.
Vision
Naruto, Haruka, and Michiru all stood in a middle of a training room.
"Where in the hell are we?" Naruto asked as he begins walking around the room. "Don't know, but why were you in the river?" Haruka questions and before Naruto could retort a child voice was heard.
"Come on Haruka, you said you would spar with me," Naruto turns to the voice and his eyes widen when he sees a younger him walking into the room. He was dressed in a white shirt with strange patterns on it, white slacks and white shoes. The only thing different about him, was the fact he had no whisker marks on his cheeks and he looked ten. "Fine Prince, but stop with your beging. Michiru watch as I kick his ass good," Haruka stares at the younger her. She was dressed in a deep blue bodysuit with yellow gloves and armor on various parts of her body. "Haruka, we're supposed to protect the Prince not hurt him," a twelve year old Michiru said with a small smile on her face. She was dressed in a sea-green robe with green flat shoes on.
"Ah come on, I just want to show him not to bad mouthed those protecting him," Haruka said with a shrug. "And I told you, there is no way, someone as weak as you can protect me," the ten year old Naruto look alike retorts. "Hm, I'll give you one more chance to back out Prince. We forget about you calling me weak and I'll forget about kicking your ass," the ten year old Naruto smirks at Haruka's words and falls into a lose stance. "Right, enough words..." Haruka also falls into a stance. Michiru sighs and walks towards the corner knowing it was going to become messy.
"The rules are simeple," Michiru started in a nonchalant tone as if this was an everyday thing. "No killing or anything to serious. If I feel the fight is over...it's over, understood," she demands softly. The two nod and glare at one each other with determanation burning in both of their eyes.
"Begin," she starts and the older verison of them watch as the younger Haruka and Naruto look-alike fought each other for an two hours straight and they watched in facination as the younger Naruto and younger Haruka punch each other in their faces knocking them both to the ground.
"Enough, this foolishness is over," a voice calls out and all eyes turn to the voice to see a ten year old Usagi or Princess Serenity standing at the entrance of the training room with a scowl on her face. By herside was a younger group of senshi with her, Naruto saw the younger Makoto staring at him with a blush, before it vanished instantly.
"Who are you to stop my fight Serenity?" the younger Naruto demands as his eyes flash a dangerous silver. Serenity stares at him in sadness, before a dark glare cross her face and her own eyes flash silver. "Don't question me brother," she growls out quietly with specks of silver shooting out of her body.
"Damn her treating me like some child," Haruka frowns also and so does Michiru remembering that day clearly.
"Listen to me brother please," Serentiy tries to say, but an angry Naruto brush passed her without turning an eye onto either of them. Both the younger Haruka and Mihiru bows to Serenity in forgiveness. "Please forgive us, for going against our orders Princess..." Serenity nods sadly and gives the two girls a small sad smile.
"Don't apologies, I just wished he would listen to me. I feel something dark coming...I just don't want him to get killed," the two Outer Senshi nods knowing about the darkness Serenity was speaking of. "We feel it also, but if I may make a request Princess?" Serenity nods wanting to know what Haruka was going to say. "Treat the Prince as an equal and not as a younger weaker brother. You may have the heir to the throne, but that does not mean you have to watch over him...he has to grow and you babying him is not going to help him grow into his own man," Haruka said quietly, but in a steel-like tone, knowing if she spoke to her like this, her point would get across. "Good day Princess, knowing the Prince, he's most likely trying to travel to Saturn to visit Little Hotaru," Michiru said quietly as she bowed to Serenity and walked out the room following after a scowling Haruka. Before they were out of earshot, Serenity whispered some words to them.
"Please take care of him, I love him dearly, but I feel as if some unknown force is forcing us away from each other. Protect him with your lives girls, I know you two will," the two Outers gave no signs that they heard her words and continued after the Prince.
"Whoever sick joke this is, show yourself now," Naruto commands with a heavy frown on his face. Haruka and Michiru turns to Naruto and before they could say anything a brightlight shone through the area. The scene they were staring at soon vanished and before everything vanished, Naruto, Haruka, and Michiru saw a silver-haired woman smiling sadly at them.
End Vision
Once the light died down, Naruto found himself standing on the river bank with Haruka and Michiru near the motorboat.
"Crazy visions," Naruto mumbles as he turns to the impassive Haruka and the emotionless Michiru. The trio stare at one another for a few moments and Naruto places his hands in a seal and vanishes in a swirl of leaves.
"Haruka..." Michiru said quietly. "I know Michiru, he's just as confused as we are," Haruka slowly made her way towards the motorboat and grabs her cellphone and makes her way back to her car. "But we will worry about that later, we still have a mission to fulfill," Michiru silently nods her head and they duo drives off into the night, each in their own thoughts. "Along with our first misson," the Sailor Senshi of the Sea said softly. Haruka remains quiet, contemplating on the vision she saw with Michiru and Naruto.
'I don't like this...something is defenitly wrong,'
As Haruka thought this a image of Ohjiro appears in her mind and she grips onto the steering wheel tightly.
'Him, he's the cause of all our inner turmoil...that bastard,'
Haruka's eyes take on an unearthly glow as she drove down the road. Michiru turns to her partner and lover giving her a worried glance and holds back a gasp as she sees the golden-yellow shine to her eyes.
'I'll make him pay...the next time I see him...'
"I'll kill him," she whispers to herself as she drove down the street, thinking about Ohjiro and trying to ignore the memories that were threatening to overwhelm her senses.
"Michi," Michiru turns to Haruka questionably. "We're seeing the Uzuamki tommorow," Michiru nods silently and turns to the night sky with a blank expression.
"I feel darkness in the air Michiru," Michiru nods once again as she could feel the sea telling her there was darkness all around the city.
"We will complete our mission...no matter what,"
We come to an end to the eight chapter of His Destiny and here is a sneak preview to the next chapter.
Preview
"DEMONIC RASENGAN,"
Hotaru watched with wide eyes as the girl charged her and she did the first thing that came to mind, much to Saturn's protest.
"Death Scythe," in a flash her scythe appears in her hands and she also charges foreward preparing to protect herself from the attack.
The group watches as the three rush foreward with looks of horror. Usagi was trying to race out there as well, but Mamoru held her back, the same could be said with Rei, Minako, and Ami holding back Makoto from charging in as well. Then everyone stops as they watch the three suddenly stop without warning and a voice calls out into the clearing.
"Shadow Possession Jutsu..."
End Preview
Also concerning the Mindscape and the Real World time difference well that's just it. In the Royal Plane and Mindscapes everything is fater than that in the Real World.
Oh and concerning Naruto's power, he has not become super powerful, he's only completed the first part of proving that he's worthy of the ower that may be given to him. Nothing is certain, but I know what is so don't worry about Naruto becoming so strong he'll beat every enemy that come his way.
Look foreward to next chapter and hope things weren't too bad for everyone.
