KG: Yeah I'm back from the week of bullshit I had. Ugh stupid classes, stupid teachers, STUPID HOMEWORK! RAAAAAAAA!

Naruto: He's finally lost it.

Ayane: I doubt he ever had it.

Samui: So, mind telling me what that other world is like?

Naruto: It's awesome Samui-chan. There are these things that people place to their ears and talk into them. It's like a mic that you hold in your hand and you can hear someone from miles away!

Ayane: A cellphone? Yeah we have those.

Naruto: Also there are these things that people have in their ears that allow them to listen to sweet music. At first I thought it was people being trapped inside that little electronic, but they weren't. They were just singing and people could pause or play them whenever they wanted. What was it called Ayane-chan, a FS3 player?

Ayane: Ugh, an Mp3 Player. Yes we have those too. You're excited by the little things aren't you?

Naruto: Where can I get one?

Ayane: How the hell should I know?

Naruto: It's your world!

Ayane: Hmmm, that is true. Would you like me to buy you one?

Naruto: YES!

Samui: Is that really necessary? It's just a liability.

Naruto: It might play wedding music.

Samui: Konoha will already provide that.

Naruto: Kyuubi, please play that song.

Kyuubi: Very well. (Plays Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder)

Naruto: That's how I feel about you Samui-chan and you, Ayane-chan.

Both: You. Us. Bed. NOW!

KG: I think I was forgotten. Well whatever. I'll get started.

Quote: "We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired to glory" by Cicero.


"C-Commander, please help! W-We have engaged the enemy. But our weapons aren't having any effect. I-It's a monster!" someone shouted as one of the head military officers spoke into the mic in his ears.

"What are you talking about? What monster? Where is the brat that had trashed the Monastery? He is our prime priority," the commander shouted before he heard his subordinate crying.

"It's banging the doors! Fire the weapons! Commander we have located the boy. He is riding a top the monster. T-They both just thrashed our tanks. AHHHHH here they come! Look out! For the defensive perime...," The connection was cut while the commander widened his eyes. He and the rest of his soldiers heard a monstrous roar echo through the capital before they looked in front of them to see the doors in front of them bang heavy. The men readied their guns while the commander took out a pistol. They all waited anxiously for the intruding force to make itself known, but then the banging stopped. Everyone was silent for a little bit before they heard a shout.

"Rasengan," Naruto shouted as he blasted the door away. Everyone watched as the blonde came from where he had been as men cocked their guns at him. Naruto turned his head to them while the commander spoke.

"You are under arrest for the destruction of the Vigoor Monastery and will be killed. Have you any last words?" he asked the Konoha chunin while Naruto smiled. He just held up his right hand and sent it forward.

"Yeah I do. Tenka, sic 'em," Naruto said and people widened their eyes as Tenka came rushing out from the doorway. The men didn't handle the surprise of the Galla fiend that well as Tenka crashed his body into them all. He bit some people down letting their blood fall before he launched a large fire from his mouth burning a few others. The commander stepped back in horror before he hit something. He turned around and the last thing he saw was Naruto's kodachi before his head popped off.

Naruto watched the body fall to the floor while he patted Tenka's head. Since leaving the cathedral, Naruto had been dealing with plenty of crap from the military. He took down a large tank with Tenka's help and had been scouring the city for Alma. He had felt that the fiendish woman was close by, but that really wasn't enough. Naruto had to save her. He didn't want another life wasted if he could avoid it.

"Ryu should be fine so I think I'll head back to...wait, aww shit. That's right Ryu did say something about there being a small opening near the top of the cathedral. Kuso, I just left there and know I have to go back," Naruto said himself before he heavily slumped his shoulders letting them drop.

"Come on Tenka, let's head to the cathedral. If I'm right then there is something there that can help us," Naruto said and to his wishes Tenka did a U-turn and ran back towards the cathedral. Meanwhile Naruto had failed to see a downed General Dynamo that he had Ryu had previously encountered. It was obvious that he had been alive due to some medical enhancement, but he was cut harshly showing Ryu's work and the gates busted down that had been previously locked.

Tenka had just arrived at the cathedral with Naruto and the blonde hopped down. He saw the ground littered with fallen Vigoor soldiers, but he didn't have the time to have his sympathies. No he had his job to do. Naruto entered the place that he had fought Alma and had his dispute with Rachel. He noticed that the fiend hunter was gone and while that wasn't what was suspicious, it was the fact that Naruto found her hammer on the floor. The blonde glared and knelt down. No matter how little he knew the blonde woman, he knew that Rachel prided herself on her skills and this hammer was her only weapon, that the blonde assumed held a lot of value. If she left it then either she really was a careless woman or she was taken.

"Yep, definitely the latter, but how could I miss it? I would've sensed anyone if they were even in the vicinity of the cathedral. Well I guess I have to go and look for her," Naruto said before he took out a scroll and an ink pen. He quickly wrote across the scroll and, with great effort and help from Tenka, moved the war hammer over the scroll and with a quick handsign he sealed it inside and wrapped up the scroll. Naruto placed the scroll in his pouch while he patted Tenka's head.

"Come on Tenka, let's-," Naruto's voice trailed off before he heard a large rumble. The blonde widened his eyes and looked behind him. He saw that the ceiling had sort of crashed down and showed a flight of stairs leading upwards. Naruto glared at the sudden action and knew it was meant for either him or Ryu. Now he was happy that he had come back. He would've missed this.

"Well looks like we have our next sight," Naruto said. Even though he was cautious, he was curious. He had never been called out by anyone before and the idea that it might be Alma wanting to talk to him was too good to pass up. He really wanted to save her. Somewhere in his head though, he knew that Rachel was right. Not every fiend would see eye to eye with him and would have to be put down, but that didn't mean that they all had to.

Naruto and Tenka continued to ascend the stairs before they noticed that they had come into a large room or so Naruto had assumed. It was a largely open space and up top appeared to be some type of ruins that Naruto had noticed. He also noticed...moving platforms going in a small pattern, but a roar broke his gaze. The blonde looked to see three more Galla fiend come from another side of the room. He narrowed his eyes at them coming before he noticed one in particular. This fiend was just as red as Tenka, but the horns on its head were shorter. The teeth were smaller and it wasn't as big as him. The fiends roared at Naruto and the blonde tensed before he noticed Tenka pass him. He roared at the three and Naruto watched as Tenka and the three Galla fiends walked up to each other.

"Tenka?" Naruto asked before he heard an animal language. One that he wasn't familiar with. They seemed to be talking or grunting while they talked about...whatever they were talking about.

It had been this form of communication for about ten minutes to Naruto's understanding. He then noticed Tenka turn to him and carefully walked up. He licked the blonde's cheek and Naruto smiled as he rubbed Tenka's head and throat while his tail wagged left and right. The three fiends seemed confused before one roared. It was the smaller one that Naruto had noticed and the chunin knew what it was about.

"Look, you all have your own choices. I'm not going to hurt you. This is my buddy Tenka. He's a great friend of mine," Naruto explained while the fiends glanced to each other. They saw Tenka on the ground gently rumbling his stomach which seemed to keep him calm. The smaller fiend walked up to Naruto and glared before giving him a sniff. Naruto just smiled and he felt this fiend lick his cheek as well. Naruto moved one hand over to its head and rub it. The second Galla fiend rumbled and fell to the ground. It growled lowly showing that it approved of Naruto's actions while the others just glared at him almost like they weren't believing it, but both were just settling to the warm embrace that Naruto was offering. They all just growled lowly before they licked their lips to seeing Naruto unsealed three more onigiri balls that he had left over.

They were all about to eat before a wave of energy came and, in front of Naruto, Tenka, and the smaller Galla fiend, cut the two fiends in front of them down to the ground. Naruto widened his eyes in horror before he saw someone walking. His entire body was clad in black armor and Naruto felt that this guy was emitting a very powerful KI. His facial appearance was that of a spirit. Quite different from Alma entirely.

"Remember who you serve. You are a disgrace to the fiends to side with humans," Doku said while Naruto looked at the downed fiends. He touched one and watched it growl at him. It then leaned up and licked his cheek before it fell dead. The smaller Galla fiend roared and charged at Doku in anger before he sent a swift strike of his blade into its body sending it crashing into the wall. Tenka roared and charged at Doku before he heard Naruto's murderous voice.

"Tenka stop!" Naruto ordered in his demonic voice while Tenka and Doku looked to see the red chakra swirling around his body. Tenka saw Naruto's teeth sharpen, his claws lengthen and his whiskers grow more defined. Doku also watched in fascination of the Kyuubi's chakra covering Naruto.

"Go and protect that fiend. He needs your help," Naruto said before he saw Tenka snort almost like a correction to his words.

"Oh, fine then. "She" needs your help," Naruto said and Tenka obeyed as he went to help the female Galla fiend. Mean while Naruto took his kodachi into his hands. He red chakra coated those blades as well while he looked up. He immediately noticed Rachel's unconscious body on Doku's back while he glared.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked fully keeping his blood lust under control, but not really caring for the answer from the fiend in front of him.

"Hmph so you're a little different. I'm Doku, the right hand to the Vigoor Emperor and Lord of the Fiends. I was expecting the Dragon Ninja so I could take him to his Excellence, but you might just be worth it," Doku said and Naruto nodded. He slightly turned his head to see Tenka lick the female's cheek before he turned back.

"You would kill your own men? What the hell is wrong with you?!" Naruto shouted while Doku snorted.

"A fiend who dares to submit to the will of a human is not a fiends, but a mere disgrace to our Lord. I will not tolerate disloyalty. Not to mention, these are lowly fiends. Distracts to be used for the Holy Vigoor's dream. No one will miss them if they are gone," He said and just like that Naruto blurred out of sight. Doku just managed to block the blonde's heavy strike with his kodachi against the Greater Fiend's Kitetsu, which was a long sword with sturdy metal and Naruto had heard from Kyuubi and Nibi to be wary of it that the sword emitted a demonic aura similar to Naruto's own. The blonde brought his leg back and slammed Doku in the chest sending him into the wall with a loud crash.

"Such strength. This kid might be stronger than the Dragon Ninja," Doku said to himself before he emerged. He saw Naruto run towards him on all fours before he sent a swift blade strike with his Kitetsu at Naruto's face. The blonde rolled across the ground to avoid the attack. He noticed that Doku wasn't very fast so he had to be a heavy hitter.

Much to Naruto's chagrin, he was right as Doku punched him which sent him to the floor. Naruto coughed for a little bit before he glared up. Doku held his sword over his head and slammed it down before Naruto countered with his kodachi. Thanks to Kyuubi's aura and Muramasa's craftsmanship they didn't break and the streaks of steel came across the ground. Naruto gritted his teeth harshly at Doku before he held up a handsign. Doku didn't show an expression due to his spiritual form, but he was intrigued by what Naruto would do as the blonde shouted.

"Fūton: Daitoppa( Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)," Naruto yelled and a fierce wind slammed Doku and sent him into the air. Doku was surprised by the wind art that Naruto had used before he saw Naruto wrap wires around his two kodachi. The blonde sent the swords into the air as the twirled around each other next to Doku. Naruto actually had to thank Tenten for this as he had memorized it.

"Katon: Bunkatsu no Shinsei( Fire Release: Splitting Divination)," Naruto shouted as he sent the fire from his mouth and let it trap along the wires. The fire engulfed the wires and the sword while Naruto swirled his body. The wires came together and trapped Doku while the fires came together in a fierce fire over the arena.

Naruto quickly stopped the technique allowing his blades to drop into his hands. He saw Doku slam into the ground and easily get up. Naruto cursed while Doku shook his head.

"You're too weak. You will have to be better. Currently, you only have the power of a Demonic Minion. Nothing special. Now stay there and die!" Doku shouted as he charged at Naruto. He continued to run before he saw Naruto's smirk. He was as Naruto's image his disappeared. Doku then noticed the ground beneath him crumble while he saw Ryu holding the Dark Dragon Blade.

"What, where did you get that sword?! What did you do to the Vigoor Emperor!" Doku shouted while Ryu turned his steely gaze to him. He merely snorted and walked away while Doku growled. He clutched his sword and charged at Ryu before he saw his hands and legs bound by chains. Doku was hoisted into the air before he saw Naruto glaring at him.

"Time to die," Naruto said as he dropped Doku into a large ravine. The Greater fiend fell through while Naruto grabbed the edges of each side.

"Magen: Ryū Dotabe no Jutsu( Demonic Illusion: Dragon's Devouring Earth Technique)," Naruto shouted as he slammed the ravine shut. The blonde grinned as he walked away.

Tenka watched in confusion as Naruto was holding up a handsign. Doku seemed to be swinging around needlessly with his Kitetsu while Naruto stopped holding the handsign. He walked up to Doku and with one of Doku's senseless strikes, he caught the black armored Samurai's arm and held it.

"They aren't your tools. They aren't your pets. They aren't your possessions. Rasengan!" Naruto shouted as he slammed the blue sphere into Doku's armor. The ball started to grind the armor breaking it apart before Naruto's sent Doku flying across the ground. The blonde huffed to catch his breathe while the demon energy around him faded. He walked up to Doku and grabbed the Greater Fiend's collar.

"Where is Ryu's Dark Dragon Blade?" Naruto asked while Doku glared at him. He didn't answer and while Naruto knew it might not help, he slammed Doku's helmet and shook him. This was the scene that Rachel woke up to as she heard Doku talk.

"You are a fool. The Dark Dragon Blade is now in the hands of the Vigoor Emperor. I shall kill you later brat, but I concede to you right now. Soon I shall bring about Alma's Great Awakening," Doku said and Naruto widened his eyes before he saw Doku's ghost float off with a maniacal laugh. Naruto cursed as he sealed the samurai's armor. He wouldn't need it and Naruto was sure he could use it for later if he had to. The blonde took a deep breath to calm down as his eyes returned to normal. He turned around and noticed Tenka taking care of the female. He also turned to see the two dead Galla fiends that Doku attacked. Naruto walked over to them, knelt down, and closed their eyes. He gave a silent prayer as he heard Rachel come behind him.

"Umm thanks for saving me," Rachel said in a sort of sorrowful tone that Naruto noticed. The blonde huffed and stood up. He turned around and smiled.

"It's nothing. It's what I do. And I'm sorry for slapping you. It wasn't right," Naruto apologized and Rachel just gave a nod. She watched as Naruto knelt near the injured Galla fiend and quickly healed her wounds with some medicine in his pouch.

"He spoke of Alma and her great awakening. Do you know anything about that?" Naruto asked, but Rachel shook her head dejectedly. Even with all this happening, this blonde was still concerned with her sister that he'd resigned to saving while she had resigned to killing her. Rachel was...tired. She knew she couldn't kill Alma and she'd lose herself if she did, but could she really just trust that Naruto could save her? Yes she could. If she didn't then she would have nothing that would bring the hope of having her sister back.

"Reach into my back pocket," Naruto said and Rachel did so. She pulled out a scroll and laid it across the floor. Naruto quickly unsealed her war hammer letting it drop to the ground. Rachel smiled at her weapons while Naruto finished patching up the female fiend.

"There. You should be good and Rachel you have your hammer back. I'll have to contact Ryu now," Naruto said and Rachel nodded.

"Can you really save Alma?" Rachel asked and Naruto turned back to see her hopeful eyes. He then smiled and nodded.

"I will give it my best to do so. Also, you should smile more. You have a nice face," he said and Rachel gave a small blush while she tried to hide it. She ran off somewhere making Naruto chuckle, but he didn't comment.

"Tenka, I guess she can't move. I'll have you take care of her," Naruto said and Tenka seemed to understand as his face leaned against hers. Naruto got up and turned around before he heard a grunt. The blonde looked to see her, surprisingly, get up and she glared at him. Naruto glared back while she lowered her head. She licked his cheek and Naruto rubbed her head sensually.

"Take care of her Tenka. Take care of...Mikomi-chan," Naruto said and both fiends looked at him. Naruto smiled with a nod. Tenka and Mikomi.

"Mikomi means Future. Make you're own future Mikomi-chan. Also try not get hurt. It would sadden me," Naruto said before there was a poof next to him. The blonde looked down and imagine his surprise when Mikata hissed at him.

"You bassssstard! You didn't have to leave me like that! That was uncalled for," Mikata growled while Naruto rubbed the back of his head.

"Who are those two?" Mikata asked while Naruto smiled.

"Tenka and Mikomi. They are friends of mine," Naruto said and Mikata gave a nod before she curled around Naruto's waist like normal. Naruto gave both fiends his 'see you later' wave and, picking up the Kitetsu that Doku dropped and sealing it, shunshined out of sight.

With Ryu

The dragon ninja slashed another fiend down before he noticed more and more coming. He slightly huffed from where he was standing. The dragon ninja had killed the revived General Dynamo and infiltrated the gates where most of the military was. He had killed anyone who had gotten in his way and later he had caused a large explosion to distract Vigoor for a bit, but he noticed that the world was changing. Fiends were becoming more apparent and it was getting to be tough. Even with Ryu's dragon sword it just wasn't enough.

"I need to find it. The Eye of the Dragon. Father said not to use it, but this seems to be an emergency," Ryu said and with a quick ninpo strike he destroyed the other fiends in his way. He would have to regroup with Naruto, but if only he could find out where the blonde...

"Hey Ryu," Naruto said dropping to the ground.

...went. Ryu turned his head to see the Konoha ninja with a wide smile across his face.

"You've been causing quite the ruckus," Ryu said while Naruto shrugged hi shoulders. He looked at all the dead fiends, but didn't say anything.

"Ryu, I met Doku. He doesn't have the Dark Dragon Blade anymore. He had Rachel, but I stopped him. He then turned into a spirit and shot off. He said something about the Greater Fiend, Alma's Awakening. Do you know what that is?" Naruto asked and Ryu shook his head sort of surprised that Naruto not only managed to find Doku but also fight with him and win. Naturally Ryu had gotten stronger with the Dragon Sword after using it in real life experiences, but to know that Naruto, someone about six years younger than him could still pull that off was astounding.

"So that's what it is. I had received a note from Ayane. She spoke of someone named Gamov. I don't know who that is, but he's someone who seems to be doing things around here. As to that Great Awakening, I don't know what it is," Ryu said while Naruto nodded with a sigh. He had to save Alma.

"Oh," Naruto said dejectedly before Ryu looked left and right.

"Where is Tenka?" Ryu asked and Naruto smiled.

"Just getting to know someone else," The blonde said and Ryu just nodded.

"Yes well we have a problem. The Dark Dragon Blade is getting stronger. It's aura is poisoning this place. People are turning into fiends left and right. Naruto, if nothing is done then this world will fall into disarray. It will be risky, but we need to leave. We need the Eye of the Dragon. With it I can put a stop to this," Ryu said while Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, alright. Let me see, where did I put it?" Naruto asked himself before Ryu twitched. He turned his head to see Naruto rummaging around his clothes and packs before he nodded with a smile. The blonde pulled out the jewel that Ryu nodded as Ryu watched the power flow from it.

"Where did you get that?" he asked sort of suspiciously as the last person who had it was Kureha. Naruto rubbed smiled sheepishly and gave it to Ryu.

"Kureha-chan gave it to me before I left. She said to take this if Ryu ever needed its help. She hoped that you wouldn't, but it seems that she was wrong," Naruto said and Ryu nodded. He looked at his sword intently.

"Naruto, stand back," Ryu ordered and Naruto took a step back. He watched as Ryu fitted the jewel into the hilt of his sword and a large light showed over the area. Naruto covered his eyes and it was even bright for Kyuubi and Nibi as the two could feel the power of it coursing through their bodies. They felt good, more than good actually. They felt incredible and unstoppable.

Naruto opened his eyes to see what few could say that they saw. The true form of the Dragon Sword in Ryu's hands. The Dragon ninja was still in sound mind before he turned back to Naruto.

"Let's go. If Doku said anything about this awakening then I know where he will do it. If we're lucky then those seals haven't closed," Ryu told Naruto and the two shinobi raced off.

With Rachel

"You won't find her here, Alma that is. You're just wasting your time," Gamov said tipping his green hat while Rachel just looked at him. She snorted and swung her hammer at him, but watched as Gamov jumped away and pointed his gun at her.

"Don't be so hasty. Goodness, a woman who wants to save her sister is scary," Gamov said while Rachel growled.

"Where. Is. Alma?" Rachel asked threateningly and Gamov snickered while he glanced at her.

"Wouldn't you like to know? You know there is nothing you can do for her. Once a fiend, she can never go back to being human. Isn't that right?" Gamov asked and Rachel just glared at him evenly. She withdrew her hammer and placed it away. Yeah, she knew what the books had said, but she didn't believe them. She couldn't believe them. Not when he had given her the hope that he could save her. Maybe she was delusional or maybe she was finally understanding the fiend perspective.

"You keep thinking that, but if anyone can save her then it's him," Rachel said letting her words hang across Gamov's thoughts before she ran off.

"Hmm interesting. Don't you agree?" Gamov asked someone behind him who just left while Gamov smirked and quickly left. This would be something to keep an eye on.

Rachel continued to run through the city of Tairon before she noticed a weird seal on the ground. Rachel glared at the seal and stepped on it. A light enveloped her and quickly transported her to an area. Rachel opened her eyes in horror and shock to see Nicchae and Ishtaros in front of her. Both greater fiends for the Vigoor Emperor.

"Where is Alma?!" Rachel asked with a shout of her voice. The two fiends glanced to each other before they giggled and circled around Rachel. The fiend hunter narrowed her eyes before she lifted her hammer and slammed one of them in the face. Nicchae hissed at Rachel while Ishtaros quickly slammed her foot into Rachel's face. The fiend hunter was sent skidding across the ground with a huff before she quickly did some hand gestures and muttered some words.

"Mahou Afurodaite no Ikari( Magic of the Raging Aphrodite)," Rachel shouted as black and red roses danced around her body. She quickly sent them flying at the two greater fiends and Ishtaros was hit as she slammed into the ground. She growled at Rachel while the fiend hunter glared dangerously at her. She was ready to strike again before Nicchae used a whip to restrain her arm. Rachel struggled against it, but was delivered a sharp punch to the gut and passed out on the ground. Nicchae and Ishtaros glanced at each other before giggling and picking up Rachel. It was time for Alma's awakening.

Konoha's World, With Samui

Entering Konoha, Samui noticed people murmuring to themselves and it unsettled her and she wondered what could've happened in her team's absence. Hayate and Kasumi weren't oblivious to the hearings either. Both glanced at each other while Sasuke made it a point to speak.

"Something must've happened," he said while Shikamaru rolled his eyes.

"I bet it's all troublesome anyway. I'm just glad that we have that mission finished and out of the way," Shikamaru commented while Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. He noticed how tense Samui looked, but didn't comment on it.

"Alright we shall met up with Otou-sama and Joe-sama. I hope we can meet soon," Kasumi said as she and Hayate walked off. Everyone gave them their goodbyes while Samui noticed Kyoko walking with a sigh. She seemed really irritated about something and Samui wanted to find out.

"Kyoko-sensei, what is the matter?" Samui asked while Kyoko turned around to see Platoon 13 walking up to her. She just sighed and shook her head.

"It's good to see you brats. Apparently the Daimyo was assassinated a few days ago. The rest of Hi no Kuni is in disarray of what's been happening. You'll get more information for the old man. Get going," Kyoko said and just like that the others raced off while Kyoko sighed again for the umpteenth time. This just wasn't good. No doubt the next person to be the Daimyo would have a lot to worry about and choosing a Daimyo wasn't easy. This guy's family had been one for generations. He didn't have any kids, relatives, or people close to him than his wife. Well that's what Kyoko assumed anyway.

With Sarutobi

The Hokage widened his eyes over the scroll that had been given to him. What a luck of coincidence, but this was just too good to be true. If this was right then...no, it had to be some kind of ploy. No way could this work out. He was just too young, but according to this note then it was solidified by both parties. What were they thinking in doing this? It was like they knew this was going to happen.

"What were you thinking, Minato," Sarutobi thought to himself before he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," Sarutobi said and the door opened to show Samui, Shikamaru and Sasuke along with Jiraiya.

"Ahh I saw that you succeeded in your mission. Our sensors had located the seal and we've begun the building of a facility around-,"

"Enough of that. What's this about the Daimyo being killed?" Sasuke asked which got him a pat from Samui. She calmed him down while Sarutobi breathed a sigh into his pipe.

"I see you have learned as well. The Daimyo was assassinated as of late and it's being kept in the dark. The council of representatives is being called together to discuss this as well as go through his things to see if he even mentioned a successor," Sarutobi said while Jiraiya eyed the note that Sarutobi had on his counter.

"And who is the successor?" Shikamaru asked for information's sake. He didn't outright care, but the person to succeed the Daimyo was someone who had to have a lot of prestigious qualities.

"That is classified," Sarutobi said discreetly moving his hand over the note. Samui had caught the action and glared coldly, but she didn't say anything and just kept it to herself.

"Well anyway, we have completed the mission Hokage-sama. We shall hand you a report in four hours," Samui said while Sarutobi nodded. He watched them all leave before a sigh escaped his lips.

Outside of Konoha

"Tsunade-sama would you stop dragging your feet? It's been ages since we've been back, but why do you wish to come back now?" a woman with dark hair asked while the blonde woman next to her with a grass-green haori with the kanji for gamble (賭, kake) written in black on the back, inside a red circle. Underneath she wore a grey, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-grey obi that matched her pants. Her blouse was closed quite low, revealing her size-able cleavage. She wore open-toed sandals with high heels and red polish on both her fingernails and toenails. She also wore a soft pink lipstick. Around her neck was a green-ish necklace.

"Oh shut up Shizune. We're not staying. We're just here to pick up some things. After that, we'll be gone. Nothing more nothing less," Tsunade said while Shizune sighed. She had been the apprentice to the Great Slug Princess.

"Mou Tsunade-sama would you stop being so gloomy. You know you miss Konoha," Shizune said while Tsunade snorted. She didn't miss the place at all, but she figured that she had to get of her funk and start to take shit seriously. Granted she didn't want to come back, but like herself other had to do things that they didn't want to so she very well couldn't complain.

"You might get there first if you don't stop nagging me," Tsunade said tightening her fist while Shizune gulped. She quickly and effectively shut her mouth as the two females continued to walk.

With Naruto

"Alma stop it!" Naruto shouted as he and Ryu dodged fireballs from the fiendish woman. The two ninja had been going left and right trying to figure out a way to find Doku, but Kyuubi had informed Naruto that he felt a large power of energy originating from a small place near the Twin Snakes Plaza that Naruto and Ryu had gone to at one point. Once there the two took a portal towards the outer fields far from Vigoor as the city wasn't anywhere in sight. They only walked for a little bit until they had seen Doku with Rachel captured again. She seemed to be struggling heavily and it wasn't long before Ryu and Naruto felt a slam to the ground. Naruto saw Alma and her expression was sorrowful before her eyes grew dark. She changed from her pink-ish purple color to a dark purple color and she grew extra legs like a centipede. Not a pretty sight in Naruto eyes, but he had found her. Now he just had to get her out of the sicko's mind control shit.

"She cannot hear you. Alma has become another Great Fiend. With her awakening she shall weak havoc in the name of the Vigoor Emperor," Doku shouted while Rachel watched in pain.

"Alma. Naruto, please save her," Rachel said as she watched them fight.

Ryu quickly grabbed Naruto and pulled him to the side to dodge another fireball. Naruto cursed before he threw three shuriken at her. Alma blocked them all before she turned to see Naruto was gone. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain as Alma was kicked across the face and into the ground. Naruto grabbed her head and held her down.

"Is this what you want?! To be some puppet? Don't you want to be with your sister again? He's wrong, you're not Alma, the fiend. You're Alma, the woman, sister of Rachel. Is this all you are worth?" Naruto asked while Alma quickly tried to shake him off. Naruto kept his grip on her before he noticed Ryu doing some handsigns.

"Kaen Ryu no Jutsu( Art of the Inferno Flame Dragon)," Ryu shouted as he slammed a ball of fire into Alma's body. The Greater Fiend was sent flying before Naruto jumped off. He quickly unzipped his jacket and Mikata fell out.

"Ryu, back up!" Naruto shouted and Ryu did so. Naruto quickly did a few handsigns and slammed Mikata on the head.

"Kai," Naruto shouted and everyone watched as Mikata grew in size and slammed her body against Alma. The fiend was buried under the serpent's body before Naruto jumped off.

"Mikata, we have to work fast. If that seal is done then Rachel-chan is screwed. How much poison can you make?" Naruto asked while Mikata smiled.

"As much as you need," she said to him and Naruto nodded before an explosion forced Mikata into the air. Naruto cursed before he signaled for Mikata to go ahead. Mikata opened her mouth and a large river of poison spewed from her mouth as he washed over the field. Ryu ducked behind a rock to avoid the front of the mist while Alma coughed. Her eyes grew hazy and she wobbled around forward and sideways. She saw Naruto's image and almost ran at him before it vanished. She was alone. Alma looked left and right through the mist before she heard a shout.

Naruto launched himself at her with the Kitetsu in his hands. This was his first time wielding it and Naruto knew his life was in danger. It was taking his life from him which was what Kyuubi had told him, but he said that he was stopping it from doing so. Also he told Naruto to do a cleansing act over the blade for safe use and Naruto vowed to do it later.

"Alma wake up!" Naruto shouted and Alma turned around to see Naruto's form. She tried to send a punch at him, but the blonde swerved his body and slammed the sword into Alma's body. She coughed before Naruto pushed her into the ground with a crash. The dust picked up around everyone before Ryu noticed Naruto pinned Alma to the ground. He huffed and his eyes were turned to slits.

"No one can control someone else. You decide for yourself how you live. You wanted to come with me then come with me. I will save you. Please trust me. If you've given up on trust anyone then just trust me. Let me be the last person that you trust. I won't let you down," Naruto said and Alma just stared at him. He then noticed that water came out of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

"It is too late. The ceremony is complete. Time to make a new Greater Fiend," Doku said as lightning appeared in the skies. Everyone gasped as Naruto took his sword from Alma's chest. She only had his smile to go on before he pointed.

"That's your sister. Do you want to die with her living this life? No you don't. Go Alma, show that wannabe-samurai bastard what a fiend hunter's sister can do!" Naruto shouted before he noticed Ryu scale the stairs fast to save Rachel. Alma glared and felt her hatred diminish. She quickly ran after Ryu and Naruto ran after her with a smile on his face.

Ryu quickly ascended the stairs as fast as he could, but even with his speed he wasn't going fast enough. That was before Alma passed him. She hurriedly ran towards her sister in fear of her living this life. One thing. If she could just do one thing right before her death then she would be happy. She would have her older sister live. That's what she wanted. Doku couldn't take that from her.

A lightning strike came down upon Rachel, but Alma jumped between it and took the blow. The entire area was engulfed in light which sent Doku flying away. He watched as Rachel fell to the ground in sobs while he floated away. Ryu stopped running and saw Rachel holding Alma tenderly. She cried for her younger sister as her eyes close. Alma, was gone.

"Rachel, move now! Every second counts!" Naruto shouted as Ryu and Rachel turned around to see Naruto still running. The blonde quickly laid Alma down and placed his hands on her chest.

"Well Kyuubi, can you do it?" Naruto asked while Kyuubi and Nibi were in their meditative poses. Both opened their eyes and Kyuubi spoke.

"Brat, the success of doing something like this is-

"Can it be done? Yes or no?" Naruto asked hurriedly. He could feel Alma's heartbeat slowing and it made him anxious.

"Yes I can, but you'd better take all the focus you've got and hold it. If anything goes wrong then she will die. Hold on," Kyuubi said while Naruto nodded. He quickly focused as Ryu and Rachel saw his hands glow red. Alma's body was covered by the red chakra from Naruto's hands as the blonde closed his eyes. He wouldn't let her die. Not if he had something to say about it. What he was asking of Kyuubi was to transfer his chakra to Alma. If she still had a heartbeat then that chakra would spread through her body and it would replenish her vital organs allowing her to live. Naturally Kyuubi and Naruto needed their silence which was what Ryu and Rachel had noticed. Rachel was just hoping that whatever Naruto was doing that it would work. Ryu just folded his arms and glared as he watched Naruto work.

"Come on, come on, come on," Naruto said in his thoughts continuously. Everyone watched as Alma's features changed. Her hair grew spiker and her muscles were more toned. Her arms and legs showed their muscles. Not bulky, but just letting Rachel and Ryu know that they were there. From behind a tree, Ayane was watching the action too. She really hoped that whatever Naruto was doing was working as this seemed to be a technique that could be all the difference between life and death.

A small kitsune mark appeared on Alma's lower thigh and Naruto saw the red chakra stop flowing from his hands. The blonde looked at himself confused by the action while Kyuubi huffed.

"There, now all you have to do is wait. I did what I could," Kyuubi said while Nibi smiled at her husband. She gave him a thumbs up and Kyuubi nodded. Naruto placed an ear near Alma's chest to listen for the heartbeat. He heard nothing.

"Dammit Alma, don't you die on me!" Naruto shouted mentally. He then placed a hand on Alma's stomach and whispered softly.

"Ninpo: Reimyou no Jutsu( Ninja Art: Power of Divine Restoration Technique)," Naruto said softly and his hands glowed blue. The energy was transferred into Alma' Her chest rose and then fell while Naruto took a step back. That was one of Muramasa's scrolls that he had mastered while they had talked. Naruto knew that this jutsu would be helpful in the future and boy was it. This would convert one-third of his chakra into spiritual health for Alma. He just hoped that it was enough.

Everyone waited for about ten minutes before Rachel sighed and wiped a tear.

"We didn't make it," she said depressed and Ryu closed his eyes before they saw Naruto's smile.

"No, I made it just in time," he said and Rachel snapped her head up to see Alma's chest going up and down repeatedly. Alma...was breathing. Rachel dropped to her knees and grabbed Alma.

"Alma, you didn't leave me," she said while Alma opened her eyes tiredly. She tried to raise her arms, but they really did hurt.

"R-Rachel sorry for all the trouble," Alma said while Rachel opened her eyes. She noticed that her sister's eyes were different. They weren't like they usually were. Now they were red with the slits that were similar to Naruto's.

"Idiot. Who cares about that? Thank you Naruto," Rachel said turning to him. Naruto nodded his head while Alma took her first clean look at the blonde. She noticed him stare at her while he patted her head.

"See, I knew you had the right stuff," he said and Alma blushed with a nod of her head.

"T-Thank you for all you've done, N-Naruto-sama," Alma said while Naruto raised an eyebrow. He'd never been called Naruto-sama except by his summons. It felt sort of nice to hear it from a person.

"No need for thanks. It's like I told Rachel-chan. I didn't do it for her or myself. I just did it because you wanted me to. That time when you were about to take my hand confirmed it," Naruto told her. Alma just smiled with a nod and closed her eyes.

"I'm tired," she said and Rachel stroked her hair.

"Then sleep. You've earned it," Rachel said to her sister and Alma's light sleeping was heard as Naruto and Ryu ran off.

"You do have a strong will. It's no wonder that you can conquer fiends the way you do. You forge bonds with them that can't be broken. You give them the sight that someone understands them. You are unique," Ryu complimented as the two shinobi ran through the trees. Naruto contemplated those words and a soft grin escaped to his lips.

"It might be just how I was raised. I grew up not having many bonds, but thanks to my mother I have found so many of them and I want to protect them all. You know Ryu, I think you would be a much greater person if you had a fiend partner," Naruto said while Ryu glanced at him. He didn't let it show, but that thought had crossed his mind a few times he had seen Naruto with Tenka and Alma. He had wondered, but he doubted that his clan would understand unless...his father understood it as well.

"I see," Ryu said more to himself and that serious face is what Naruto had liked the most. He didn't know why, but Ryu had...lightened up as they went on.

Naruto and Ryu, in no time, caught up to Doku who was now holding a spiritual sword in his hands. He glared at the two of them while they glared back.

"You two are quickly becoming an annoyance. You should accept the inevitable," Doku said while Naruto moved forward. Ryu held his hand in front of him.

"I have observed you and now it's your turn to observe me. Watch carefully Naruto," Ryu said to him and Naruto nodded as he stood back. He kept Kitetsu in his hands on standby while watching Ryu do his thing.

"Alright he's barred us from leaving so I will perform the cleansing ritual now," Naruto said as he placed his sword on the ground. He quickly draw some seals over it while the clashing could be heard from Ryu and Doku. Naruto hurried as the sweat dropped from his face. It was getting dark for them and he had to hurry.

"Kyuubi, can you do this?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi shook his head. He had spent more chakra than willing with Alma's restoration and he was slightly tired for the oh-so powerful demon fox.

"Kyuubi's tired Naruto-kun. I'll handle it. Just because I don't have much of my chakra to fully do it that doesn't mean I can't cancel it's bloodlust curse. Just give me a minute," Nibi said and Naruto nodded as he looked up. He noticed Ryu block Doku's sword strike and dodge to the side. Damn, Naruto wished he could help, but he had a job to do. He couldn't afford to be distracted. If what Ryu said was right then the Kitetsu could help them take down the Vigoor Emperor. He just needed its curse to be gone.

"Alright, channel your into it," Nibi commanded and Naruto did so. He quickly pushed his chakra into the sword and watched a a dark demon roared its disgust. It hated this energy that was erasing it, but Naruto didn't care. He had a job to do. The blonde then widened his eyes and took out one of the golden scarabs. He held it in his hands before he picked the ruby from it. Naruto noticed a hilt and fitted the ruby inside. Immediately the blonde widened his eyes as white lightning coursed through the sword. He stopped touching it and the lightning faded. He touched it again and the lightning came back. Naruto smiled and the seals disappeared into the sword while Naruto held the Kitetsu into his hands.

"There Naruto-kun. You just need one of those two shrine girls to perform a real cleansing ceremony on it and it will be ready," Nibi said while Naruto nodded. He held the Kitetsu up and smiled before doing a slash.

"Kitetsu, the Blade of the Bijuu. Forged from the...the two tails of Kyuubi no Yōko and Nibi no Nekomatta," Naruto said before he noticed that Ryu was sent flying back. The dragon ninja narrowed his eyes while Doku held his sword over his head.

"So the Dragon ninja bloodline ends," he said as he slashed down. Ryu could've dodged, but he watched as Naruto blocked Doku's sword with the Kitetsu. Ryu saw the white lightning coursing through the former cursed blade while Naruto glared at Doku.

"You will pay for what you have done to Alma-chan," Naruto said while Doku floated back. He was ready to fight Naruto, but Ryu just stood and quickly jumped into the air.

"All that is evil will be purged," Ryu said and his sword moved over his head and in one swift motion he quickly slammed it against Doku's own sword, but with his added weight and the power of the True Dragon Sword, Ryu crushed Doku's sword a swift slash appeared through his spiritual body as it dissipated signifying his death. Ryu closed his eyes and sheathed the Dragon Sword while Naruto placed the Kitetsu in its own sheath.

"Well then, shall we get going now?" Naruto asked and Ryu nodded his head. He then gasped as he fell to the ground and groaned. Naruto widened his eyes to Ryu's pain and knelt down next to him.

"Ryu are you alright?" Naruto asked while Ryu's skin started to turn blue. His eyes turned red before all the pain dissolved. It was a curse to turn someone into a fiend to serve the Holy Vigoor Emperor. It was good that Ryu had the strong will to resist it or he would never have been able to return to his human self again. He would've died humanly and he didn't want to know what would happen to Naruto if he did turn.

"Yeah I'm fine. Come on, we don't have the time to stop," Ryu told him and that didn't reassure Naruto of anything, but he relented though still with concern in his features. Ryu sighed and began to talk.

"It was a curse to turn anyone under its spell into a fiend. Only those with the strong mind can resist it and this is the result. I will change back once we have killed the Vigoor emperor," he explained hoping that would ease Naruto's worry and it sort of did for the blonde.

The two ninja had noticed a large pillar in the middle of the place where they were standing from. Ryu and Naruto glanced to each other and nodded before making their way towards it.

"Are you two sure about this?" Naruto and Ryu turned around to see Ayane drop to the ground. A barrier had already been set up showing that they wouldn't be turning back until they killed the Vigoor Emperor.

"Ayane-chan, you know what we must do. Ryu needs the Dark Dragon Blade and I want to have a little talk with that faggot myself," Naruto said as he walked up to the barrier. He smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

"We'll come back Ayane-chan. Don't you know? We're too cool to die," Naruto said as the doors opened. Ayane watched as Ryu and Naruto, the guy she loved, enter the doors.

Naruto and Ryu felt that dealing with all the demons that they had seen would be a waste of time and Naruto quickly casted a genjutsu that made them disappear. The two walked easily through the flight of stairs that had so many fiends. Ryu and Naruto both noticed a door and it was locked tight. Some sort of challenge thing.

"Dammit, what do you propose we do?" Naruto asked and Ryu thought for a second.

"There was a seal back down to the last floor. Trigger that and see what happens. I have my suspicions," Ryu said and Naruto nodded as he left. He watched Ryu disappear behind him and quickly jumped down to the first floor that he had seen. The blonde quickly walked to it and a large light blinded him before he was teleported. Naruto dropped to the ground and realized that he wasn't on earth anymore. No, he was in a ravenous place filled with fire, a decaying earth and a fiend's skin wrap that kept him from escaping. The blonde heard a chuckle that turned into a full-blown laugh.

"This is what he's worried about? A child who is trying to play a ninja. What a joke. I was expecting more of a fight. Though I supposed if you managed to come here then you must have some skill. What is your name boy?" A demon asked. Naruto looked up and immediately noticed wings flap in and out. The two horns atop its head was something to see, but more than that was that he looked just plain stupid. Like some warped donkey face with wings a pair of shorts fit for a demon like himself. He glared hard at the Archfiend and snorted.

"Boy? Did you just call me boy?" Naruto asked while the fiend jumped into the air.

"It doesn't matter what I call you. You are a puny little insect. These should be enough for you," he said and Naruto noticed six new fiends circle around him. They had black skin and red fire coming from their heads.

"You are facing Marbus. I am the Archfiend of Hell and one of the Five Greater Fiends of the Holy Vigoor Emperor," He shouted and Naruto as he cracked his knuckles.

"That's good. It gives me something to do. You see, by your damn attitude I don't like you. You must be that weak that you need them to do your dirty work," Naruto said picking his ears. Marbus growled at Naruto while the blonde showed disinterest.

"I am one of the feared Lords of his holiness. You will show me the proper-

"Oh shut the hell up. You think you're tough? You don't know tough. I would probably have a harder time with Alma than you. How does it feel that you don't compare to her?" Naruto asked while Marbus landed down and dismissed the fiends.

"I was going to toy with you, but I see that you will need an extra lesson in death," Marbus said as energy glowed from his hands.

"Oooooh it's pink energy. That really proves your toughness. Tell me, have you been looking at Doku any sort of way? I mean he might be a ghost, but hehe I guess some people like kinky things like that," Naruto instigated and it seemed to be working as Marbus growled.

"FOOL! You couldn't begin to understand my power!" Marbus shouted. His voice rang through the depths of Hell. Naruto just rolled his eyes.

"I've meet Galla fiends tougher than you. Ugh, seriously those wings are probably the only think unique about you," Naruto said and with a quick sidestep he dodged Marbus' fist at him.

"Damn you! I will eliminate you! Marbus shouted while Naruto widened his eyes in horror. He stepped back in fear and Marbus smirked. Finally the brat was starting to understand. Naruto intertwined his fingers in a pleading motion and fake cried.

"W-What, oh no p-please I beg you. No no, not elimination. I have never been threatened before in my life. Oh please , no NOOOOO...Oh shut up dattebayo," Naruto said as he held up a handsign. Marbus narrowed his eyes while Naruto said his new favorite words.

"Kai," The blonde said as he...exploded. The explosion shocked Marbus before he noticed Naruto behind him. The blonde steadied his stance with his kodachi and sighed.

"Damn you. I will kill you!" Marbus shouted as he ran at Naruto. The blonde breathed easily as he remembered the scroll that Ryu gave him.

"Feet in the stance. Swords in hand. Shift you balance accordingly. Don't hyper-extend and keep the motion as fluid as possible. Make it connect and visualize yourself moving as fast as you want," Naruto said to himself as he jumped into the air. Marbus continued to charge at him while Naruto got ready.

"Push all power into your legs. Leave no sudden movements behind," he thought and Marbus widened his eyes as Naruto pushed his legs out and thrusted himself forward. The blonde moved with great speed past him and managed to slash Marbus around the chest sending him to the ground while Naruto landed.

"And that's the Flying Swallow Technique dattebayo," Naruto said while Marbus got up to his feet. He clutched his chest and Naruto grinned while he turned around. Marbus quickly summoned fiends to his aid while he grinned.

"Let's see how you like these numbers," he said while Naruto rolled his eyes. He crossed his fingers and smirked.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," the blonde shouted as his quickly made five clones. They each ran towards the fiends weaving their handsigns while the original Naruto quickly charged at Marbus. He slammed Marbus in the face, but his leg was grabbed and Marbus slammed Naruto across the ground. The blonde coughed for a little bit before he started to rebound. He quickly stood to his feet and grinned while Marbus folded his arms.

"Someone as puny as yourself could never defeat me!" Marbus shouted as he flew towards Naruto. By this time, the blonde's clones were gone and they all charged at him. Naruto narrowed his eyes before a smirk came across his face.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Naruto shouted as he slammed the ground. Immediately an army of snake rose in front of him.

"Go you guys!" Naruto shouted and the snakes charged at the fiends. They all opened their mouths and swords came out of them. The fiends were all cut down due to multiple cuts to their bodies while Naruto furled up his sleeves.

"Se'nei Tajashu( Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands)," The blonde then cried out as about ten snakes shot from his sleeves. They each gripped Marbus on his skin making the fiend curse before he grabbed them.

"Want a ride? All you had to do was ask!" Marbus shouted as he flew high into the sky dragging Naruto along. The blonde yelped for a little bit as Marbus did sharp right and left turns. He continued to do this all the time and Naruto felt his vision get hazy. He quickly took another elixir from Ryu and drank it letting it heal him before Marbus stopped. The sudden jerk sent Naruto into the air where Marbus caught him by the throat.

"Weak, that's right. You can't beat me," Marbus said before he noticed Naruto's smile. The blonde coughed and nodded.

"Yeah I suppose not, but guess what asshole. I don't need to beat you in the air. Just slam you into the ground," Naruto shouted and Marbus felt a sharp pain in his body before he saw Naruto's blade sticking out of his back. He coughed up purplish blood before he growled and grabbed Naruto's body. He then began to power-dive into the ground.

"You will not survive," he said while Naruto smirked. He wiggled his hand free and held it up.

"One of us won't and it ain't me. Besides, I think you need your eyes checked. Kai," Naruto shouted as he exploded sending Marbus crashing into the ground. Marbus growled before he saw Naruto behind him. The blonde slammed Kitetsu into Marbu's body as he drove him into the ground.

"Praise be to the Vigoor Emperor," Marbus said before he dropped down. Naruto took Kitetsu from his body and sheathed it before he made his way out. Nothing to stop him now from getting back to help Ryu. Naruto looked up and noticed something click. He hurried back up to Ryu where the Dragon Ninja was waiting for him.

"Took your sweet time," he said and Naruto snorted.

"Hey I had to deal with this big asshole down there. I didn't see you doing anything," Naruto countered as he and Ryu made up a flight of skeletal bones with fiend skin. Yeah, Naruto was getting more and more confused as this went on, but hopefully this would all be over soon.

Naruto and Ryu saw the ceiling crumble apart as rocks slammed into the rocks they were standing on. It destroyed their pathway as Ryu and Naruto fell through the ground. The two had no idea where they were headed, but Naruto was sure that it wasn't anything good.

Naruto had no idea how long he and Ryu had been falling, but they finally came to the end. Naruto saw that the caves had disappeared and the area turned into a grassy field with flowers. It was like a true paradise.

Naruto and Ryu landed on the ground and the blonde looked around.

"Wow, this place is amazing. So much room too. I think anyone could live here," Naruto said, but he noticed Ryu didn't respond.

"Ryu?" Naruto asked before he turned his head. The blonde then realized why Ryu was tense as they both saw a 100 ft. tall angelic being. This was...the Holy Vigoor Emperor, the disciple to Vigoor, the deity of all hate and chaos in the world. His deity form had a dislocated head floating above his body, with angel wings on the sides of his head. He also had a larger pair of angle wings on his back, and his body was covered in a metallic carapace. Right above his head was what the two ninja had been searching for, the Dark Dragon Blade.

Naruto glared and was about to walk before Ryu stopped him. Naruto raised an eyebrow before he turned back to see the statue move.

"Who are you and why do you disturb my rest?" a voice echoed in Naruto's head. The blonde shook his head for a little bit while Ryu glanced at him.

"What is it?" he asked and Naruto responded.

"T-The statue just spoke to me," he said and Ryu glared even harder to the blonde before turning around.

"You have something that belongs to my friend. I want you to return it," Naruto said to the human/deity while the Vigoor Emperor merely laughed inside of Naruto's mind.

"All that I see is mine. This was mine before it was yours. Leave now before I kill you and your mortal friend here," The emperor said to Naruto.

"What did he say?" Ryu asked and Naruto snorted.

"He's telling us to either leave or we die by his hand," Naruto said and Ryu just glared evenly. This was all his the emperor's fault to begin with. Ryu wouldn't be leaving just because he was ordered to by some self-righteous demi-god.

"Sorry, but we're not leaving and we're talking that blade from you if you don't hand it over!" Naruto threatened and the statue raised its arms.

"Then NEITHER of you leaves alive," he said as the field of flowers changed. The Hold Vigoor Emperor stood to his feet vastly dwarfing Ryu and Naruto who stare up at him. The field of powers vanished from view and the two saw explosions everywhere. They were inside an active volcano. How the hell did they miss this?!

"Naruto, get ready. Rō! Thatsura! Satōva!" Ryu shouted as he did the appropriate hand gestures. He and Naruto were suddenly lifted into the air by two pieces of earth as the landed near the Holy Vigoor Emperor. He raised his hand to crush the two shinobi while Ryu took out his Dragon Sword. Naruto knew this wasn't the time for his kodachi so he took out his newly owned Kitetsu and took the traditional stance that Ibiki had taught him with swords. His uncle didn't do swords, but he dabbled with them. That day, against Kurenai's happiness, Naruto had learned more than 500 ways to torture someone with a sword.

The two were quickly moved around as they noticed bright blue crystal orbs on the Vigoor Emperor's body. Naruto and Ryu quickly slashed at each arm with enough furry to crush anything. They were his weak spot. An obvious weak spot, but still a weak spot. Naruto's rock moved to the right to avoid a hand strike from the emperor while Ryu dodged to the right.

"God this is insane. I would never imagine myself doing this, but I know if I let up I will die. Is this really Ryu's life?" Naruto thought to himself before he cracked one of the crystals. The Vigoor emperor's arm fell slightly while Naruto grinned. He quickly jumped off his rock and into the air. He then made a clone and the two shouted.

"Oodama Rasengan," Naruto shouted as he and his clone slammed the Emperor in the face. Ryu watched, but he continued his attack on his arms. The True Dragon Sword was like a plague to evil. With each strike the sword stung into their bodies. This must be how he felt. Ryu backflipped away while Naruto landed back on his rock.

It wasn't a long fight before Naruto and Ryu watched the emperor's body crumbled. They landed on the ground and watched as he fell into the lava. He roared at them both before he vanished. Ryu's skin turned to normal while Naruto smiled. It didn't stay that way before it turned back to dark blue much to Naruto's horror.

"Enough of this! You're pitiful existence ends here!" He shouted and Naruto cursed as the two watched the Vigoor Emperor emerge in a cluster of undead skulls. Naruto grimaced at the look and shook his head.

"Your other form was much better, but this is just...Ugggggh," Naruto said while the Emperor jumped into the air and landed beside them. He moved around while he launched skull after skull at Naruto and Ryu. The two slashed through each one and Naruto took the time to hop on one's head and launch himself into the air. Naruto slashed at the emperor's body while Ryu did his work on the legs. They both did this until the emperor jumped away form them.

Naruto and Ryu fell to the ground and Ryu handed Naruto a Devil's Elixir, but Naruto didn't need it. Ryu saw that the blonde's eyes were blood red like his own and nodded.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," Naruto shouted as he made three clone. They each grabbed each other's legs and twirled themselves until they sent each other into the air. Naruto appeared over the Vigoor Emperor's body and did a handsign.

"Katon: Hōkakyu no Jutsu," Naruto shouted as a large array of fire bullets slammed into the emperor's body. Naruto landed down and jumped back to Ryu's side while the two moved in clone.

"Kaen no Jutsu," Ryu shouted as he sent the massive fireball at the emperor. It slammed into his body burning the emperor while the earth around the three exploded in hot fire.

Naruto landed on the ground and huffed while he brushed a hand across his face. The blonde then turned.

"Ryu, back up!" Naruto shouted and Ryu didn't need to be told twice as Naruto quickly spammed his clones.

"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," Naruto shouted as the earth was filled with nothing, but Naruto's clones. The blondes all ran at the emperor and the real Naruto grabbed Ryu as they landed against the wall while Naruto held up a single handsign.

"Ninpo: Tajū Bakudan Bunshin no Jutsu( Ninja Art: Massive Exploding Clones Technique)," Naruto shouted as the entire blonde arm exploded. The explosion was deafening to Naruto and Ryu's ears, but the sound subsided and the two saw nothing left.

"Nice technique Naruto," Ryu said and Naruto nodded. Ryu's skin returned to normal for the final time as Naruto pulled him up.

"God you're heavy," the blonde grumbled, but Ryu didn't say anything. They both saw something shining and saw the Dark Dragon Blade with nothing to bother them this time. Naruto and Ryu quickly scaled the walls of the volcano and Naruto picked up the blade of the dragon with much effort. He held it in his hands and shivered.

"To think you all went crazy over this thing," Naruto said while Ryu nodded.

"That shows why this power must be destroyed," Ryu said and Naruto couldn't agree more. He quickly gave the Dark Dragon Blade to Ryu and Ryu placed it away. The two made their way out before they heard another large explosion. Apparently their fight had been too large and disturbed a large portion of the unstable volcano.

"Shit, we have to get out of here," Naruto said and walking quickly turned to running as the two quickly ascended the available mountain ledges. Naruto quickly began helping Ryu up things and visa versa until the two looked up.

"RYU! NARUTO! OVER HERE!" Both saw Rachel and Alma waving to them from a dangling wire from Rachel's wrist and quickly made their way to them. Ryu and Naruto didn't have to run long, thankfully, as they quickly jumped and made it towards Rachel and Alma. Rachel grabbed Ryu and Alma grabbed her new master, Naruto. The wire in Rachel's wrist retracted as they were all pulled out. The explosions beneath them grew more dangerous as the entire inside of the mountain came crumbling down. Naruto, Ryu, Rachel and Alma quickly made it out and slid across the ground as a last and large explosion popped out. Naruto covered Alma with his body while Ryu did the same with Rachel. The dust had picked up and covered everyone's view.

Naruto coughed and batted the dust away. He turned his head to see Ryu helping Rachel to her feet.

"How did you guys find us?" Naruto asked while Rachel pointed to Alma who blushed.

"I could sense your energy Naruto-sama and it led me to you," Alma answered and Naruto nodded his head. He then turned and sighed.

"Wait, Ryu where is the sword?" Naruto asked and Ryu touched his back. Sure enough, the weapon was gone before everyone heard a laugh.

"You did well. Both of you. Far better than I thought you would. I expected nothing less. However the power of the Dark Dragon Blade is wasted on you both. Especially you Ryu. The boy is more deserving of it, but neither of you will get it," a voice said while Naruto and Ryu noticed the air grow cold. They turned their heads and Naruto growled as someone picked up the Dark Dragon Blade. Rachel moved behind Ryu and Alma behind Naruto as the person came into view. Rachel and Alma noticed that it was the Dark Disciple and Gamov. The two assholes who had actually started all of this. Why weren't they surprised. Naruto and Ryu glared hard as they kept Rachel and Alma out of harm's way.

"Don't you see? The Dark Dragon is now truly an evil blade. His Excellency, the Dark Disciple, has been waiting for this moment!" Gamov said while the Dark Disciple took the Dark Dragon Blade into his hands.

"You've done well Gamov," he said and Gamov couldn't even react as he was slashed in half as his body faded away. The Dark Disciple chuckled and Naruto, thanks to Anko and his snakes summons, could taste the air in front of him before he stepped forward.

"I knew Mikata-chan was right. She was trained in this art by the Snakes. You had Ryu and I come here, scour this kami-forsaken place filled with fiends and military men for the Dark Dragon Blade and then you could kill us, take the sword and convince Joe-oji that we died here trying to recover it. You're no better than Orochimaru. Just a lying, stealing snake. You just used us to get to the Dark Dragon Blade. Isn't that right, Murai-teme?" Naruto asked while Murai took off his mask and dropped it to the ground.. Ryu glared at heavily at the person he called uncle and cursed. Now he was glad that he had trusted Naruto with that information earlier. It appeared that the blonde was right again.

"Not bad for a child. You really have talent. A shame it dies here with you," Murai said while his body began to change from the Dark Dragon Blade. His body turned turned purple, his arms stretched out with dark purple veins and on his forehead was a small glowing jewel. His eyes showed hatred for Naruto and Ryu while he held the equal to the Dragon Sword in his hands.

"The Dark Dragon is now mine. No objections, I presume?" He asked crushing his mask under his feet while Naruto stepped forward. Murai and everyone else watched as Naruto closed his eyes.

"How are you holding up Kyuubi?" The blonde asked while Kyuubi grinned.

"Don't mock me. Let's go! Let's kick his ass! Nibi-chan's got dinner waiting soon so we'd better hurry," Kyuubi answered and Naruto nodded with a smirk. His body turned red from the chakra before a single tail appeared behind him. Naruto took the Kitetsu into his hand and watched as the white lightning around it changed into a dark purple.

"Kyuubi against the Dark Dragon. My newly owned Kitetsu, and Ryu's True Dragon Sword against your Dark Dragon Blade. Here's a joke Murai-teme. What's the best thing to drink?" Naruto asked as he cocked his fist back. Murai narrowed his eyes before he gasped as Naruto blurred. The blonde then, much to everyone's amazement, slammed Murai in the stomach.

"A big bowl of PUNCH!" Naruto shouted the lame joke before sending Murai into the ground with a large crash. Naruto was going to destroy that accursed blade once and for all. Besides he had to get home. His fiancee was waiting for him.


KG: Yeah it'll have to wait until next chapter. I focused on Alma a bit more than intended to. Besides I like her. Also I just had a fun thing in mind for Tenka to do. It's something I've always wanted to see happen or something like that. No I don't know if Fiends "breed" or not, but they will in this. Hehehe. Also, no Naruto isn't overpowered. Well...I guess maybe he is. In the context of the Ninja Gaiden world he is. I think that since no one knows how to counter genjutsu like in Naruto's world then he is more capable than in his own world. In his own world he is chunin just like Sasuke, Samui and Shikamaru. I don't think he is overpowered. If Naruto's a chunin in his world then he's a...tokubetsu jonin in their world. Which makes me wonder, if Naruto's a tokubetsu jonin then what is Kakashi? And if that's Kakashi then what is Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru? And if that's them then what are the Kage?

KG: Another note, I LOVE the Kitetsu. I was a beast with that thing. You couldn't beat me if I held it in my hands. I probably used that thing more than I did the Dragon Sword itself. Man it was fun. Naruto will still, and always, use kodachi. They are his preferred weapons of choice for his taijutsu and his genjutsu. The Kitetsu will be more like a last resort weapon. I tried to make it after a bastardized version of the True Dragon Sword Aura with the Blade of the Archfiend's lightning coursing through it. The idea of giving Naruto a sword similar to the Dragon Sword and Blade of the Archfiend was too good to pass up to me. However, that sword isn't as strong as the True Dragon Sword. It has its drawbacks which play a point later in the story.

KG: I also noticed a few people were worried that they asked if any countries would be coming over to Naruto's world and I will say...HELL NO! United States will stay where they are, Russia as well, China, Japan, every single last country is NOT setting foot in Naruto's world. Nor will it be a large ass population of Naruto characters going over to the Dead or Alive world. Nope, that ruins a lot of stuff for me and I wouldn't even feel like explaining all that shit. Because then we'll have that whole 'let's go and conquer their lands or they are too strong, let's destroy them before they destroy us' shit and then you have some stupid War of the Worlds shit going on and ugh. Nope, not gonna dive there.

KG: Mmmm nothing much after that. Well that's all stay breezy, protect what's important to you, review, and SEND ME CREAM SODA! Also, please do something. It's not much just a little request. Oh what was it? Oh yeah, RESPECT DA' CREAM FOOLS! Ahh that felt good. Hmm, well what are you still looking at me for? Where you expecting an Omake? Am I made out of time to you? Get that camera out of my face! I promise Naruto and Samui will be married next chapter. Cross my little heart and hope, well not completely hope, to die.
