Within the Hokage's office were Sakura Haruno, Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru, Shino Aburame, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga and Tenten and their senseis, Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy and Iruka Umino, who had been informed about Naruto and Hinata's situation caused by the one known only as the Champion Hunter and had just started explaining the situation to Naruto and Hinata's friends and teammates.
"As you know, Naruto and Hinata have been missing since yesterday." Tsunade began to say, before she continued as she took out the Third Hokage's crystal ball. "And now I can show you where. But first, Shizune will explain the events leading up to this problem." "Of course, Lady Hokage." Shizune replied loyally, before she told Naruto and Hinata's friends "Yesterday, Naruto and Hinata were abducted by an individual who refers to himself as the 'Champion Hunter'."
'The Champion Hunter.' Sakura questioned herself, before she asked in confusion. "Wait! How did this person manage to get within the borders of Konoha without being seen?"
"He didn't." Tsunade replied simply, before Shizune went on and explained. "From what witnesses reported, including Teuchi's daughter, Ayame, Naruto and Hinata were forcefully pulled into a void of unknown origins."
"And it was after the Champion Hunter communicated me through the Third Hokage's Crystal Ball, that we learnt of his motives for taking Naruto and Hinata."
"What are they?" Sakura questioned in a worried tone, as she feared that the Champion Hunter may've only wanted to get Naruto for the Kyuubi's power and something just as horrible in store for the Hyuga heiress.
"He wishes to test them. To see if they are powerful enough to become his new champions." Tsunade replied.
"New champions?" Shikamaru questioned.
"Yes. Naruto and Hinata aren't the only ones that the Champion Hunter captured, it seems he's capable of capturing people and creatures from other worlds beyond our own." Tsunade replied, as she used the power of the Third Hokage's Crystal Ball to show them all several of the victims the Champion Hunter had gotten a hold of, including a boy with spiky maroon coloured hair and a pair of goggles and small dragon-like creature, that had blue skin and a 'V' shaped mark on his forehead, a teenager, who had black hair and 'Z' shaped marks on each of his cheeks, with a small yellow mouse with a lightning bolt shaped tail on his right shoulder and a young man with black hair and a strange gold mark running down his left cheek and a young woman with brown eyes, and dark burgundy hair, as they each had a strange looking device fastened to their left arms.
"What happened to them?" Neji asked in concern for both Naruto and Hinata, in which Tsunade replied, as the Third Hokage's Crystal Ball then showed a young man with brown hair and brown eyes and a young woman with dark blond hair, who were wearing similar devices to those they had seen beforehand. "Naruto and Hinata were forced to fight against two other victims of the Champion Hunter known as Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes who were capable of summoning and creating monsters with the contraptions on their arms."
"Fortunately, they were able to win, but unfortunately, in order to obtain their freedom they were ordered to kill Jaden and Alexis, however, they refused and saved two innocent lives."
"So where does that leave Naruto and Hinata?" Shikamaru questioned, in which Tsunade replied. "Just like Naruto and Hinata, none of the others had it in them to end another innocent life for their own selfish desires. So the Champion Hunter arranged to have each group of heroes face against 'the greatest evils of each world', only then can Naruto and Hinata return."
It was then everyone watched as the Third Hokage's Crystal Ball showed the Death Zone Stadium Naruto and Hinata were forced to fight in, but were confused to see on the other side was the supposed 'greatest evil' Naruto and Hinata had to defeat, which looked like a little boy dressed up as an angel, in which Kiba then commented jokingly. "That kid is the evil Naruto and Hinata have to face? Man, this Champion Hunter guy must've got the hero take on villain all wrong and thought Naruto was the evil one, cause of the Nine Tailed Fox."
However, Kiba was to regret his words when Sakura slammed her right fist into the back of Kiba's head and knocked him to the floor, as she didn't find it funny that the Inuzuka would mock the hero who had not only saved the Leaf Village but also had the burden of being a the container of the Kyuubi.
Within the arena, the angel kid asked curiously. "So you are the heroes I must rid the Champion Hunter of in order to get my revenge on the Legendary Warriors and bring order back to my Digital World?"
"That's where you're wrong." Naruto replied, which caused the angel to give a look of confusion, before Naruto stated in a serious tone. "The only one going down is you, Lucemon!"
"We shall see, human." The creature known as Lucemon replied simply, before the boy shone brightly, which forced Naruto, Hinata and everyone watching back in the Hokage's office to shield their eyes, but when the light cleared, everyone watching was shocked to see Lucemon had taken a new form, in which he let out a maniacal laugh as his transformation was finished.
Now standing into the small angel boy's place was a being who fitted the part of an evil being, as his body was now divided into a form of good and a form of pure evil, as two wings had emerged from the new Lucemon's head, the wing on the right retained an angelic form, while the left had turned to a black wing-like shape.
Lucemon was no longer wearing a simple robe, but instead a gray coloured outfit adorned his new body, and just like his head, wings of different form and shape had emerged from his back, with four white wings on his right and four demonic grey wings on his right, as an iris coloured mark trailed around his left eye, making him look more like the kind who would manipulate, destroy and betray anyone for his own selfish and evil objectives.
However, Naruto and Hinata seemed unfazed by Lucemon's Digivolution as they both took stances, indicating they were ready to fight, which caused the Ultimate level Digimon to question. "You don't fear me? Why?"
"Because Takuya and Zoe told us all about you. Your attacks, your forms, your strengths and your weaknesses." Naruto replied, before the blond said. "But they didn't tell us how you survived the final battle between them and you."
Lucemon laughed for a moment, before the master of light and darkness replied in a sinister tone. "You can thank the Champion Hunter for that. With his power, he managed to retrieve my data and gave me new life. One I will not waste on the likes of you."
"What do you mean by that?" Hinata asked in a slightly worried tone.
"You will serve me as my new servants and help me create a new Digital Word." Lucemon replied, in which Naruto snapped back in an aggressive tone. "No way you bastard!"
"Don't rush my generous offer, human." Lucemon told Naruto, before the Chaos Mode of Lucemon said. "I'm inviting you to share in my world of paradise and in exchange I will help you become the rulers of your world."
"You heard Naruto's answer and nothing will change our minds!" Hinata stated in a surprisingly confident tone, in which Naruto nodded his head, as he wanted to become the Hokage of Konoha from his own strength and not from that of a twisted minded Digimon.
"That's too bad I was hoping you'd hear me out with an open mind." Lucemon said, before he let out a disappointed sigh, before the corrupt Digimon then exclaimed. "But since you won't accept me as your master, I have no choice but to wipe you both out!"
Lucemon then charged at Naruto, as he then exclaimed. "Paradise Lost Punch!"
It was then Lucemon started punching Naruto in the stomach at an incredible speed, before the fallen Angel Digimon kicked Naruto into the air, before jumping up after him, in which the Ultimate level Digimon placed his feet onto Naruto's arms and his hands on the Jinchuuriki's legs, restraining him, before the master of light and darkness shot down and slammed into the ground, creating a devastating crater.
"That's one down." Lucemon said in an arrogant tone, but it was then the master of light and darkness was left confused as Naruto suddenly was consumed by smoke, before a damaged log was left in his place.
"What the?" Lucemon questioned, before he demanded. "What is this!?"
"Substation Jutsu." Naruto's voice replied, in which Lucemon turned around to see the blond standing next to Hinata, with a big grin on his face and not so much as a scratch on his body, which angered him that Naruto would mock his power, in which the Ultimate level Digimon then charged at the container of the Kyuubi, as he exclaimed in fury. "Paradise Lost Punch!"
However, Hinata got in between Naruto and Lucemon, as two large lion-shaped shrouds of Chakra surrounded the lavender eyed woman's hands and exclaimed. "Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!"
Lucemon and Hinata then began to exchange punches, in which the fallen Angel Digimon was astounded that a human could match his speed and strength, but it didn't matter to him as the Ultimate level Digimon took to the skies, as he planned to destroy Naruto and Hinata at the same time.
"Behold the power of light." Lucemon said as a sphere of light energy appeared in his right hand, before he then said, before a sphere of dark purple energy appeared in his left. "And the power of darkness."
Before Lucemon dropped the light sphere onto Naruto and Hinata, which consumed the pair and caused everyone watching back in Konoha to shield their eyes, before the master of light and darkness dropped the sphere of darkness onto the light, in which when everyone back in the Hokage's office got their sight back they were all shocked to see their fellow Leaf Village comrades trapped within a spherical prison of sorts, which had 'X' and 'O' shaped squares floating around it, as a dark red aura circled around it.
"Farewell, you pitiful humans." Lucemon then said, before the sphere shattered into pieces, revealing a badly injured Naruto and Hinata, lying on the ground and struggling to get to up.
"Hmmm. It seems you were able to endure one of my attacks." Lucemon began to say, as another sphere of light energy appeared in his right hand, while another sphere of dark purple energy appeared in his left, before the fallen Angel Digimon told the wounded Naruto and Hinata. "But you won't survive a second."
"Naruto!" Sakura screamed out in concern, as he and Hinata were consumed by another imprisoning sphere of light, before Lucemon dropped the sphere of darkness onto the light, in which it created the same a dark red aura prison, however, Lucemon was soon confused when the aura around his Ultimate Sacrifice attack changed from dark red to orange, however, his confusion was turned to shock when Naruto broke out from the prison, in which his eyes changed dark red and became slits, his body was surrounded by orange coloured energy, which the master of light and darkness could detect a great power of darkness from the negative energy, as what looked like a pair of tails made of the same energy formed out of his tailbone.
But it was then Lucemon was confused and awestruck to see within Naruto's right hand was the sphere of dark energy he had created to destroy the pair, only now Naruto was using it against him, as it was swirling around within the container of the Nine Tailed Fox's hand.
"Dark Rasengan!" Naruto roared out, as he slammed his combo Rasengan into Lucemon's chest, which caused the fallen Angel Digimon to cry out in pain, before the Rasengan powered by darkness exploded, in which the Ultimate Level Digimon fell onto the ground, while Naruto landed safely beside Hinata, in which the Jinchuuriki held out his hand and helped her up.
"How... How were you able to escape my power...?" Lucemon questioned in an angered tone, as he got to his feet.
"You're not the only one who has a form of darkness they can control." Naruto replied, before the Kyuubi's Chakra faded and his face and body returned to normal, in which the blond scratched the back of his head and said in a slightly embarrassed tone, before he began to laugh. "Well, somewhat control."
Lucemon then clenched his fists as the Ultimate level Digimon thought to himself bitterly. 'First this brat not only defies me and attacks me with my own power, but now he further mocks me!?'
It was then Lucemon yelled out at Naruto, in a tone filled of hate and aggression. "You will taste the sweetness of utter oblivion! Out of this chaos I will bring order and your demise!"
Back in Konoha, everyone watching with the Third Hokage's Crystal Ball were confused as to what Lucemon was talking about, until the master of light and darkness was engulfed by dark energy, before the fallen Angel Digimon was cocooned by the darkness, before the darkness began to increase to a monstrous size, which could be said the same as the darkness faded, revealing that Lucemon had Digivolved to his most powerful and evil form, Lucemon Shadowlord Mode.
"What... What is that thing?" Sakura asked in a fear filled tone, however, nobody could answer her.
It was then the great beast let out a loud roar before it unleashed a wave of amaranth coloured fire from his maw right at Naruto and Hinata, but before either were hit by the blaze, they each jumped in the opposite direction of each other, avoiding the deadly fires, before a voice stated "You may've avoided one attack, but there's no way you'll defeat me. I've become unstoppable!"
"We'll see about that. Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Lucemon heard Naruto exclaim, in which he was stunned to see Naruto had summoned an army of Naruto Shadow Clones to assist him, before the real Naruto called out in a taunting tone. "Hey ugly! I bet you can hit all of us."
'That fool still mocks me?' Lucemon thought to himself angrily, before the real Lucemon then said. 'I shall take great pleasure in ridding myself of every singe one of him! Destroy the boy!"
It was then the dragon roared out again before he faced Naruto and began to unleash another torrent of amaranth coloured flames at the container of the Nine Tailed Fox and his Shadow Clones, which began to do their best to avoid being scorched, however, some Shadow Clones weren't as lucky as the other ones, but what the Lucemon within his puppet didn't know was this was all a distraction.
"Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!" Lucemon then heard Hinata yell out, in which he was shocked when he saw the violet haired girl create two more large lion-shaped shrouds of Chakra around her hands again, before she slammed them into the Gehenna orb, which cracked open, revealing Lucemon's Larva form.
Lucemon was shocked that Hinata had the force to break through his Gehenna orb, but he was shocked further when all of a sudden the real Naruto jumped into the orb, before a cloud of smoke engulfed him and standing in the Jinchuuriki's place was another Lucemon Larva.
"What is this!?" Lucemon questioned in a tone full of confusion.
"The way we're going to defeat your Shadowlord Mode." Naruto replied, sounding exactly like Lucemon Larva Mode, before he said in a commanding tone. "Cease all attacks and await further orders."
It was then the behemoth Lucemon was controlling stopped his inferno attack and stood completely still, in which the remaining Shadow Clones circled around the dragon, as they prepared to destroy the giant abomination.
"Clever." Shikamaru then said in a slightly impressed tone, which got everyone's attention and caused Sakura to ask. "What is?"
"Naruto's plan." Shikamaru replied, before the Nara genius explained. "Think of the Shadowlord Mode as a giant Puppet and the Larva Mode as his Puppet Master, only this Puppet isn't controlled by Chakra, but by verbal commands. Now since Naruto has replicated Lucemon's form and voice perfectly that means he can control the Puppet too, which gives Hinata and the Shadow Clones time to prepare for their next move."
"That's brilliant. Way to go Naruto!" Sakura cheered.
"How dare you!" Lucemon said in an infuriated tone, before the ring on the end of his tail began to glow orange-red, in which he then yelled out in fury. "I'll destroy you!"
Lucemon then began to launch a massive barrage of needles from his glowing tail right at the Lucemon Larva doppelganger, in which Naruto groaned out and thought to himself, as he couldn't move properly in his Transformation Jutsu. 'Damn it! I can feel my Jutsu isn't going to last for long, but I have to hold out as long as I can in order for us to beat this bug bastard.'
"Hey, Boss we're ready!" One of the Shadow Clones called out from beyond the Gehenna orb, in which Naruto dispelled the Transformation Jutsu and ordered. "Alright then, let him have it!"
It was then Lucemon was confused when Naruto escaped from the Gehenna orb, giving complete control of the Shadowlord Mode back to him, in which Lucemon was shocked to see he was surrounded by Shadow Clones, which had dark red eyes and thicker whisker marks that were each wielding an orange sphere of energy, which was letting out a screeching sound, before they all yelled out as they threw the balls at Lucemon's dragon puppet. "Rasenshuriken!"
Unable to escape, the behemoth and his controller were hit by all the Rasenshurikens, in which Lucemon yelled out, before he and his Shadowlord Mode were torn to pieces, transformed into data particle and were deleted. "I cannot be defeated by humans! Not again Aaaaaaagh!"
It was then every Shadow Clone vanished, before Hinata ran over to the remaining Naruto and said happily. "Naruto, you did it."
"No." Naruto replied in a serious tone, which confused Hinata for a moment, before the blond told her, as he gave her a thumb up and a big grin. "We did it."
"So now Naruto and Hinata return, right?" Sakura questioned, however, before she could get a reply, the pair were taken out of the arena by dark red energy, leaving Sakura's question unanswered.
