Naruto was blissfully asleep. Before being sealed away he had been awake for a week. And being frozen in time did not translate to a good night's rest. So as soon as he had laid down he had passed out. As he slept his dreams wandered around.
He visited a land of ramen, and saved Konoha as the hokage. But currently he was revisiting his last fight. That big ass lizard was about to strike him down so he had ripped a portal open and dived through. Before he could even get his bearings his head had smashed straight into something.
"Gotta be the worst way to come out of one of those."
He had grumbled. Then he looked up while massaging his scalp to see what he hit. A huge glowing old man stood before him. Curiously also rubbing his head with a murderous glare fixed over his face.
"BOY! How dare you! I shall smite you for the sin you have committed."
The huge man had thundered. Naruto looked confused.
"Sin? The fuck you talking about. All I did was smash heads with do you think you are old man?"
The man had struck out with his left fist. Naruto jerked his head to the side to dodge. The man seemed to get angrier at this and started raining blows on his opponent. Naruto began zipping around narrowly avoiding each strike as it came.
God had quickly grown tired and instead summoned a huge amount of magic. He then unleashed it in a terrifying blast. Naruto was caught on the edge of the explosion and blown down to the ground.
"I have you now."
He then rained down a flurry of quick magical attacks. A huge cloud of dust hung in the air over his downed opponent. Until God whipped around and saw the sneer on his foe's face.
"Fuck you and your beard old man. I didn't do anything. Stop attacking me. If you don't stop right now I will be forced to kill you."
"Ha! You kill me? Do not jest with me fool for I am God. Kneel before me."
The burst of intent behind those words caught Naruto off guard. The man, no the god before him had not lied. God knew his side was suffering on the battle field and he had no more time to waste. He threw a binding god class seal and caught his opponent with it.
Naruto was suddenly restricted. His chakra felt slightly heavier and his arms cried out in pain slightly more. His wounds became more apparent to him at that moment. Then a second seal followed and struck him. Followed by a matching pair.
But Naruto dodging the incoming pair and watched the flabbergasted god's expression.
"You can still move?"
"You bet I can. I am future hokage Naruto U- Ahck!"
While Naruto spoke God had shot several more seals. He could see his first two already wearing off. Naruto was further restricted by these two new seals and began trying to channel his minimal chakra to overpower them.
God then summoned up a huge chunk of earth and using both arms motioned it towards the struggling man. He slammed his hands together and the earth came together into a perfect diamond shape. He rushed forward and began slapping god tier seals left and right all over the rock.
For Naruto he could tell the god was trying to seal him inside this rock so he started struggling. For Naruto it had seemed like he had been mid sealing when the crack had appeared and he had managed to wiggle his chakra free and escape from the rock.
His dream was just reaching this point when he suddenly sprang awake.

Rias knew she really shouldn't be doing this but she had to see what was going on. Her natural curiosity demanded it. Besides this 666 was supremely powerful and apparently evil natured. It could potentially join her peerage. A week earlier she knew it would have been impossible.
666 and her just have too large of a power gap. But her brother had gifted her a very special mutation piece as a congratulations for freeing herself of Riser.
'Wait… What if brother knew this was going to happen and gave me this piece so I could recruit 666. Yes brother if crafty like that… Oh if this is true I will certainly make sure I repay him. Hehehehe.'
Akeno elbowed Rias in the gut. Said girl turned and gave her queen a grateful look. Anytime she started laughing darkly like that, Akeno knew to stop her.
But right now she and her peerage were hiding behind several cars in an empty street. It was near midnight and apparently the joint group of the three factions had found 666. It was believed to be staying within one of this hotel's rooms. Perhaps trying to regain some of its strength after breaking free from God's seals.
"Pres. Pssst, pres. Are you sure this is a smart idea?"
There was Issei again. Such a loyal boy. He would do anything for her. Especially if she promised him a quick peep or several seconds of feeling her up. She had her pawn wrapped around her finger. But he was so naïve and annoying sometimes. Oh well it was kind of cute.
"Yes Issei. Even if something goes wrong Sirzechs will keep us safe. Don't worry. In fact be happy you are probably going to have a new peerage member to get to know soon. Hehehe yes hopefully you will. Hehehe."
Akeno shifted her foot forward and put pressure onto Rias's toes. The girl managed to turn her dark laughter into a cough and disguise it from the more innocent members of her peerage. Issei was quickly concerned about her health.
BOOOOM!
A small shockwave echoed through the empty street. Things were getting started. She could vaguely sense her brother and the others moving into the room. They had clearly gone for shock and awe by blowing the door from its hinges.
'They must be confronting 666 right now.'
The street grew silent once more. A barrier was placed around this block keep humans away and forcing those inside asleep. So there would be no disturbances in this confrontation.
But the silence grew and nothing appeared to be changing. But then suddenly the tremendous pressure they had felt earlier rolled out of the building. Asia, Koneko, Kiba and Issei were floored immediately. Akeno transformed into her priestess outfit to help steady herself. Rias was channeling her magic into her legs to help herself out.
"Oh dear, what an immense energy."
Akeno licked her lips seductively then giggled. But Rias ignored her and her floundering peerage members. Her senses were trained on the growing powers within the hotel.
She could distinctly feel four huge holy energies, the Seraphs were not going to hold back. The slightly tainted holy energy of a fallen angel also wafted through the air. Then two more explosions of energy came to life. Her brother and Serafell were not messing around.
The huge collection of aura's was overwhelming and Rias found herself on her ass on the concrete staring wide eyed as the hotel across the street exploded into blazing timbers.
10 Figures could be seen flying through the smoke and heading into the sky. She caught a glimpse of crimson and knew her brother was there.

When Naruto's door was blown off its frame he snapped up and leaped to his ceiling. Chakra attached him and his right hand moved and snatched a kunai from his pouch. Then he looked to see what had happened.
Nine people had entered his room. He sensed their intent and they were all over the board. A couple were curious, and several others seemed eager. The rest were looking to fight. Their anger and surprisingly hate was rolling off them. Little did he know but one of the Seraphs was close to being overcome by his hatred and falling.
To the Seraphs, Naruto was the main reason God had died. The devils responsible for dealing the death blow was already dead. But Naruto was the reason that blow could have been struck. And their anger of the loss of their lord was peeling open long forgotten emotional wounds.
Michael knew his fellows were not looking to talk. But talking was the first option the group would take. Even if 666 was his natural enemy.
When the three faction leaders saw a young blonde man stuck to the ceiling of his room upside down they paused. Sure looks were deceiving but this person was far from what any of them imagined 666 looking like. Was this man really almost as strong as Great Red?
"Oi the fuck are you guys doing? I was trying t' sleep ya know. And look at the door. I hope you know you are paying for that."
The assembled group sweat dropped and took a moment to examine 666. Naruto drew a second kunai and palmed one in either hand. He dropped from the ceiling and held the kunai in a reverse grip keeping them out of sight against his wrist.
"666, how is it that you broke free of God's seal?"
Michael had stepped forward and was trying to keep things on talking terms. The tension in the room was rather thick.
"Why does everyone keep calling me 666? My name is Naruto Uzumaki. As for that rock I was in? Some guy with 12 bat wings broke me out. I didn't stick around to hear what he was trying to tell me. I had better things to do."
His answer surprised the group and everyone turned to look at the two devils in the group. Sirzechs held his hands up in a placating gesture.
"Ahh, don't look at us. No devil was sanctioned to do this. I didn't even know where Naruto was."
Raphael one of the other Seraphs stepped forward.
"Enough, 666 you are directly responsible for the death of our lord. And now you have sided with the devils to escape your righteous imprisonment. For these sins I shall absolve you from this world."
12 white wings sprang from his back and a suit of golden armor enveloped his body. He summoned a giant golden sphere and threw it at Naruto.
"No Raphael!"
But it was too late. The hotel room exploded and blew the top off the hotel. Through the smoke the room's occupants ascended into the sky. Raphael hovered away from the group and stared down intently into the smoke. A dull gray kunai came zipping out of the smoke and Raphael barely saw it under the moon's light.
He brought a shield of light up and deflected the thrown weapon. But he didn't see the second kunai hidden in the shadow of the first. It struck his left thigh and sent him reeling backwards.
Naruto appeared in a swirl of leaves in the sky across from the group. His chakra reserves were about half full from eating and resting. So he started channeling his chakra and a giant blue flaming aura sprung up around him. He channeled a small bit of Kurama's chakra to augment his voice.
"I don't know who you are or why you insist on attacking me for doing nothing. But if you continue attacking me I will kill you. I will not give you a third chance."
"Shit, even his voice is full of power. Raphael you fool what have you done."
"Silence Azazel, I will not hear your words against my subordinate. I will handle Raphael later. Right now we need to deal with the matter at hand."
While Azazel and Michael argued Raphael ripped the intruding knife out of his thigh and was glaring hatefully at Naruto.
"666, how dare you strike one of the lord's servants. I am the Seraph Raphael, kneel before me and beg forgiveness and perhaps your soul shall be saved."
"Raphael enough foolishness. Stand down now."
While they were speaking Naruto had let his chakra settle but kept it ready for a moment's notice.
'Shit there are no logs around here. I have nothing to replace with. It's ok… Even though the log can't protect me in the sky, I will always be grateful for your protection.'
He was scanning the environment, but the buildings were all short and there was nothing around them at this height.
"Naruto was it? Do you even know what's going on here?"
A red haired man with bat wings was speaking to him.
"Yeah it's Naruto I told ya already. And as far as I can tell that dude over there thinks I got his leader killed and I have to let him kick my ass for it."
Michael was flying in front of Raphael his 12 golden wings and halo shined brilliantly in the dark sky. His arm was clasping the younger Seraph's wrist and his eyes were staring hard into Raphael's.
"What are you doing? Forget your vengeance for a moment. This is the being who our lord exhausted himself just to seal away. You stand no chance. Do not bring his wrath upon this city."
Michael then reached over with his other hand and slapped Raphael hard across the face.
"Besides you fool, in your haste to act you may have killed innocent people inside that hotel."
Raphael's face paled instantly and he de-summoned his shield and dove towards the burning hotel. Naruto eyed his foe carefully as he dived into the smoke.
"Oi golden wings. Where is that guy going? I thought for sure he wanted to face his death."
Michael hid his anger at the slight and smiled benevolently.
"Naruto you said it was, my friend Raphael was just confused. In his haste he has done you and others a great wrong. He is currently trying to ensure his mistake has no more permanent consequences. Now may we please cease discussing death? I wish to know if you could describe the devil who released you."
Naruto kept shifting his eyes between Michael who flew closer, Sirzechs who was still close, and the billowing smoke cloud where Raphael was located. His right hand was hanging loosely next to his gear pouch.
"Ya I guess I could. The guy had 12 bat like wings. He said his name was Rizevim Liva or something like that. Hey no closer, yeah you bat wings."
Sirzechs smiled in amusement and drifted backwards once more. He knew who Naruto was talking about but he did not think Michael knew who it was. Rizevim had never been interested in fighting between the three factions or even during the devil civil war. So what was it about releasing Naruto that had caught his attention?
"Naruto, I see that you are just flying without wings, if I may are you a god? For you seem very similar to a human."
Naruto snorted.
"Me a god? I have fought gods before so I suppose I am similar to them. However I have never been called one before. But do not think to classify me by your system. In fact why are you all even here?"
"Err well you are supposed to be the beast of the apocalypse and now you have broken free to bring hellfire upon the living or something like that. You know an evil wrath filled monster of destruction. We are here to stop you."
"Sorry to disappoint but I think you got the wrong guy. I am fresh out of rampaging impulses. I am just a guy trying to get a good night's sleep. So do not follow me."
Naruto slipped into a body flicker and shot out of the sky to a different street several blocks away.
Azazel flew up to the other two leaders and said.
"Well that was pretty loud and clear. He is just a guy trying to sleep. I don't think it would be wise disturbing his rest. I suggest we all call it an evening as well. Perhaps you could deal with Raphael so he doesn't accidentally go and start a fight with Great Red either. Good night gentlemen."

Rias was the only one conscious among her peerage. When 666 had increased its aura it had knocked her over from her seated position. Her head was ringing from the blow and the pressure from the aura was suffocating her. Thankfully it had not lasted long and she found herself gasping for breath in the slightly less tense atmosphere.
'Thank the satans I am not any closer. What is that angel thinking trying to fight this being?'
She knew a light based explosion when she saw one and clearly an angel had blown the hotel up. Not to mention the only one utilizing magic in the sky above was an angel with his light magic. She could just make out his pale halo in the moonlight.
Then she got her first look at 666. He looked to be a young man several years older than herself. He had spiky blonde hair. She couldn't make out his other features over the distance in this light.
The angel seemed to be arguing with 666 and then she saw Archangel Michael involve himself. The angel who was fighting 666 suddenly dove back into the smoke. The atmosphere was loosening up she noticed. The powers overhead were slightly lessening to ease the tension. But they clearly still on edge.
666 was talking with her brother and Michael then he was just gone. Several leaves swirled around his empty position and were caught in the passing breeze.
Rias shook her peerage awake and eagerly bid them to follow her. Koneko was still able to sense 666 as he was still suppressing his chakra down. He was close only several blocks over.
It was just too bad Rias didn't get the memo to leave Naruto alone that night. But then neither did any of the other factions who had been observing the confrontation.
This story feels really fast paced at the moment so next chapter I will definitely slow it did. Or maybe it is just because I have written/published three chapters so quickly?
Anyway not much of a fight. Just a little tease and some in-sight on the reason God sealed Naruto. I feel the little reference to the log is kinda half ass in the story but I wanted to put it there so don't hate me.
Uhh I can guarantee a longer time till the next update don't question about it. Probably 2-3 days.
This story is un-likely to have any pairings. I just don't write such interactions. Action/adventure is my forte. Maybe comedy? I can never tell if it is actually funny.
