LEGEND OF THE TRUE SAGE
Hey friends I have decided to start a new story this time a cross over story between high school dxd and Naruto. But I am not abandoning my protector's pride story it's simply a side project an idea that won't leave me alone.
Disclaimer: I own shit neither high school dxd nor Naruto.
summary: in the world where gods and devils walk the earth; where skies are dyed red by the flames of dragons; this is the story of a boy brought back to life after three thousand years to once more be given a chance at the redemption.
GHOST OF THE AGE'S PAST
Beneath his feet a vast stretch of desert spread along indicating the border of the Sunagakure, a land he really liked but now only thought that guided him forward was of revenge. Too long he believed that a second chance should be given to all but no more if someone was mad enough sow the seeds this much chaos then he will have to reap the storm that follows.
He jumped down landing gracefully as a cat before he set off towards the battle, hundreds of shinobi lay dead, his keen eyes picked out Gaara but the kazekage was in a bad shape. His eyes blazed with fury, kurama's chakra covered him like a fiery cloak as he vanished in a burst of speed.
PAGE BREAK
Odin could feel the power rising, he could sense the sweet allure of power and the hidden terror he himself helped built, there was no doubt it shared the same origin as the world tree. He wondered how this could happen, he needed answers of questions of the very beginning.
Azazel narrowed his eyes, the output of power Naruto displayed was staggering, it wasn't just Kyuubi feeding his strength, it was the combined power of all nine."How did you get it Naruto" he was surprised at the fear blossoming in his chest, but so his relief. He rembered the deadly nature of the nephilim.
War,Death,Strife and Famine four horseman of apocalypse, the last and the strongest of the Nephilim. The herald of destruction made flesh these were the children of gods and the succubi of chaos, they controlled the power of both light and darkness, none but the chief gods could even dream of besting them in combat but now things changed.
Naruto commanded that kind of power, but the rigid rules that governed the gods didn't bind him. So immersed in his thoughts Azazel missed out the chance to think what exactly was he throwing the power around for. Sirezech was the one to draw his attention to the point, "what exactly is he doing?" He was tensed the power of destruction bubbling near surface.
"He is calling to the earth, he is seeking the last remnant of his people and if my hunch is right then he will find more than he can hope for." Odin's voice was steely with realization, the war between aesir and vanir had reaped the result he saw today. Twisted by Loki and his lies the earth gods had raged against the Aesir led by Odin and in the bloody battle that followed broke apart the Norse lands. In the heat of battle when the Vanir leader Njord fell, his children surrendered but no trace of god's consort could be goddess had sworn bloody vengeance and fled the all-father's domain, the sorcery of Loki blocked even the sights of Odin's ravens.
Now four thousand years later he witnessed what the treachorus goddess wished to do. Although tainted by the dark elven sorcery the power of the tailed beasts undoubtedly generated from the world tree. There at last he understood what had happened eons ago.
He could feel the call echoing in his very core, infused with the power of yggdracil the call was like a siren song for him but this was Odin, the all father not some weak minded fool. His control cancelled the lure without any difficulty but he couldn't help thinking who else would the call attract.
PAGE BREAK
Gaara was pushed back further his sand style attacks barely holding back the might of the resurrected third raikage. He had already drained himself in fight against his father. Death appeared ever so close to the young leader but emotions of fear didn't cripple him but it drove him harder.
The sand of the desert swelled like an angry tidal wave smashing on to the dead body of the third raikage. However like a black javelin he broke the sand wave heading to pierce Gaara's heart but the hand encased in black lightning couldn't find its mark.
If it was possible for a mindless zombie to show surprise the dead Raikage would have shown so, as a fiery chakra arm held his arm back and another landed a solid punch on him.
Naruto flashed in to the fight appearing between Gaara and the deceased leader of kumo, everywhere around him bodies of shinobi lay strewn like dried leaves,many of them from the village hidden in cloud. It was horrible to think what kind of creature would delight in setting the shinobies against their own kage. For the first time in his life Naruto felt relieved that his father had used the dead reaper seal on himself.
The raikage charged once more, everything about him screamed the iron will determination of Ae the current leader of kumo. It was the same way they moved the same kind of jutsus they used. A feral smirked appeared on Naruto's lips, lightning chakra was what he trained to neutralize, two rasengans formed in his palms. While two chakra arms added wind chakra to the spheres, growing it in size until it resembled a large shuriken. One after the another he threw the rasenshurikens at the third raikage.
He wasn't surprised when the undead dodged the first one but as expected ran into the second. Thousands of wind blades cut through the lightning armor shredding the figure within. For a moment it appeared the fight was over but then a shrill cackling of electricity shattered that thought. Naruto was unable to believe his own eyes as the third raikage stood up his body shrouded in the black lightning, the armor seemed weaker than before for a moment before the armor regained its former power.
Naruto crouched in his battle position ignoring the laughter from his tenant the mighty being kurama.
As the third raikage drew closer Naruto focused on his chakra, intent upon unleashing the strongest attack in his arsenal.
The attack named after the motion of planets the planetary rasengan was an engine of devastation, three smaller rasengans rotated around a larger rasengan in opposite direction. He vanished in a explosion of speed unseen to the naked eye only to appear behind the charging undead.
The skills that made the third raikage a legend had been lost in the reanimation leaving behind only the strength and as such he attempted to turn back instead of push forward or use substitution. The power of the jutsu ground past the lightning armor the opposing rotation of the spheres threw him aside,the body tossed aside like a ragdoll but still it continued to rise.
"Fucking Kabuto, I will never forgive you for making me do this" Naruto spat as the corpse once more rose, he didn't have proper control of this technique but he doubted anything else would even do the trick. "everyone get away now, this attack will destroy everything around it" Naruto yelled as started forming a technique no man had ever been able to use.
The shinobies scattered as they sensed the titanic proportion of chakra gathering even the earth trembled beneath their feet but the raikage charged his chakra focused on the point of his finger much like the raikiri of Kakashi. For a while it seemed Naruto wouldn't make it but the sand rose to make barriers, as the last wall of Gaara's sand fell Naruto was ready. With a yell of blind rage he launched his technique against the undead raikage, the two attacks collided but the might of the tailed beast is unmatchable for all human save one.
The black lightning folded onto itself the combined might of the two attacks completely obliterated the enemy. All around him the shinobi cheered but he didn't the fight was far from over. The enemy would pay in blood for his crimes. All ready his clones rushed to different battlefields if it was him the fucker wanted then he would have to come and get it.

Kuroka was already tapped in to the nature's energy when she felt the call, it was intoxicatingly powerful, the call was like that of her first heat came upon her. Even as she tried to resist her nekomata transformation began. Her choice was gone from her as she went on to find the source.
Koneko felt exhilaration as the raw power of sage mode filled her from within, the essence of the first nekomata Matatabi sang in her blood.
"Hello child" a new voice spoke in her mind, a voice filled with so much power and age it was unbelievable.
Koneko felt fear blossom in her chest, it was not everyday one heard the voice of the first of your race in your head. "Is it you, Matatabi-sama?" She said trying to mask her fear.
The laughter that followed her answer only proved how futile her attempt to mask her fear had been. "Yes it is I, Matatabi, there is no need for fear, I wouldn't hurt you." The voice was full of mirth and Koneko wondered if the ancient being was enjoying the fear she inspired.
"It has been millennia since I was broken, it feels strange to see fragments of my soul in front of me.I slumbered in the endless sleep while the world around me changed, it was your presence that awakened me." Koneko was surprised, she had no idea how she had awakened or what it would mean.
In her childhood she had been taken before the throne of the Nibi, but even the power of the nekomata queen was no match for the power she could sense from the mere fragment of the two-tails. "How did I awaken you my lady?" She asked timidly afraid despite of all the assurance from the majestic being.

The flaring of chakra continued spreading all over the underworld before finally merging with the world above, and around the globe resonance flared as latent chakra flared in contact with the potent chakra of the last remaining shinobi. Kurama grinned as he felt the chakra awakening, all around him echoes of his brethren resonated. Before being devoured and demolished they had entrusted him with last remnants of them selves so that one day he may bring them back.
"I believe in you Naruto, you will bring them back" he whispered. but suddenly he felt a block, curious he attempted to break through, but the block held. It was strange for the power felt as familiar as it was alien, for a moment Kurama thought of pushing harder but his connection shattered in that moment.
Naruto opened his eye, his mind whirling with images and memories of far off. It seemed huge burden just lifted off his soul, 'kurama what did I just feel?'
"Welcome back kit" the booming voice that replied wasn't that of kurama. "Son, is that you!" Naruto couldn't believe his ears, he expanded his senses inward. The nexus where his chakra merged with the chakra from the tailed beasts was same but no longer was he with only Kurama, eight more figures surrounded him. The last duty that he was given before the last fight echoed in his head, the sacrifice that allowed him to fight against powers of the ten tailed and gods reverberated in his soul, yes it was who he was now. He is Naruto Uzumaki the last shinobi and the guardian of the tailed beasts.
Naruto opened his eyes, calm and happy after a very long time. He had succeeded in finding the chakra, it was there all over the world scattered, he would gather them all. The will of fire that his people believed in must be carried forward but his mood darkened a bit as he sensed the fear and apprehension coming in waves from the figures in front. While he had next to no idea about Rias's brother except that he carried dangerous amount of power but Azazel, he considered the fallen angel a friend.
Their fear reminded him of the childhood when it was all the people thought about him. It drove him crazy back then, now things had changed he had matured enough to ignore shits like this. However the old man stumped him, that guy was unreadable even for someone with his skills and experience and for some reason he felt uncomfortable around the guy, a distinct feeling of being scanned not even the tailed beasts or the grand old toad could inspire such a feeling in him. It seemed all his life was exposed to the lone cold blue eye of the grey haired wanderer.
The man smirked at his discomfort, "Uzumaki Naruto, a pleasure to meet someone like you, when I first sensed you I didn't know I will find you to be quite so powerful. I would cordially like to invite you to stay in Asgard."
Something clicked in his mind at the mention of the place, in the numerous books that Akeno made him study he had come across the name somewhere. It was something important but for the life of him he couldn't recall what that might be. This business with all the gods and demons were confusing him, he couldn't be sure if the next person to meet will be some god or not, funny how when he had first heard about Hidan the immortal shinobi worshipper of the deranged god Jashin, he had thought it to be a lie. Still he had things to do, the chakra users must be found first.
"Sorry old man, while I would love to go with you I can't not now at least. There is still too much for me to do." Naruto replied keeping his old boisterous nature in check, even with the losses he had suffered the life was far from over. The words of the shodaime hokage echoed in the depth of his soul, what was lost could be built again and he would do so himself.
Azazel noticed the change in Naruto, the aura of the sorrow that he wore like a badge was no more. He had no idea how but somehow the boy had reconciled with the past something an immortal being like him never could. A brief nod of understanding passed between them and in a bright flash of light the boy disappeared.
"What just happened?" Rias had just arrived there with all of her peerage following closely behind everyone was there except Koneko, a fact that Odin noticed before he too vanished returning to his palace in Asgard.
PAGE BREAK
Naruto used to love the full moon, from the top of the hokage mountain in konoha he always watched the moon with great admiration. The beauty and calm of the moon made his heart soar but ever since his awakening he was disturbed unable to really be himself. However it all changed tonight, he could feel the old feelings surge in him as he sat on the roof of the house he came to think of his own.
"I knew I would find you here" the voice broke Naruto of his reveries, he hadn't even sensed her coming there. Akeno was dressed quite differently from her usual way, instead of appearing as the classy mature beauty like she normally did, a casual T-shirt and jeans made her look quite different.
Naruto had to admit she appeared astonishingly young and fresh and it just made her innocent beauty shine more. Without speaking another word Akeno popped down beside him, her slender fingers touching his rough calloused ones. He once thought of drawing his hand back but his body acted on its own. He felt his walls shatter one by one as the warm body leaned comfortably on his own. His body screamed in desire but he controlled it, there will be time for love but not now. Not when he was weak.
"Tomorrow we have our match against the student council, my first official rating game." Akeno whispered to the night and to the man sitting beside her.
Naruto could taste the fear and eagerness mixed in her scent and it made her look vulnerable, it made her much more beautiful. For the first time he realized how similar they were, he wanted to know more. The fragments of past shall always be with him, the days of future unknown it only left the present and the girl, the woman beside him was the present.
"Are you afraid?" He whispered back.
"No its not that-" Akeno was determined not to make eye contact and her body radiated her shame.
"Come on girl, I can smell your fear in the air, you consider me a friend right" Naruto kept his voice gentle and silently the girl beside him nodded
"Rias depends on me as her queen but I think I will let her down."
"Being afraid isn't a wrong thing you know, in my life I have been afraid many times, my teacher once taught me its alright to feel fear. You just have to make sure you are in control. When I went on my first mission as a ninja I was nothing more than a kid. A very stupid kid at that, but in the mission I learnt a really valuable lesson. Do you want to know?"
"Yes" Akeno whispered
"It is only when a shinobi fight to protect what is precious to him, he gains true strength. I may not know what the fuck a rating game is but I know so long as you play to keep Rias's hopes alive you can't lose."
