"Tch. This natural energy is a real pain in the ass. It's got me all irritated now too. "
Naruto stomped around the waterfall he had just been meditating at. He was trying to gather up some natural energy so he would be able to enter sage mode and if necessary he could go the next level up. But it was like trying to swim upstream. The total concentration required to filter the hate out then trying to mix it into sage chakra and store it before repeating the process was dragging on.
The sun was begging to set on the horizon and his stomach was rumbling. He had skipped lunch in the hope he was going to be eating dinner back home. But his body was now telling him what a stupid idea that had been.
Thankfully no one else had approached him during the day. Perhaps that Az-guy had actually warned them off. He shook his head.
'Doubtful. I will just leave a clone here overnight to keep making sage chakra then I will take what it's got and try and go home tomorrow. Time to go eat.'
He left the clone he had made earlier and jumped to the top of a nearby tree. The city was sparkling in the setting sun. The buildings shone with electricity and he flickered towards the city in several long jumps.
Naruto came to a stop atop a large building towards the city's center. He could sense the various people around the city who used this dimension form of energy. It felt strange and much more fluid compared to the potent and heavy chakra everyone used back home.
'Come on… There has to be nearly double the number of them now. I swear if they interrupt this meal…'
He jumped off the building and landed lightly on the sidewalk. His chakra cushioning the impact force. A business man looked at him and then decided he had better things to do then trying to figure this street magic out.
He sensed most of the power signatures on the east side of the town so he took a turn to the right and went west. There were only two this direction. Probably the strange girl who mispronounced cat speak, and some other lone wolf.
He saw a small special of the day shop on the next corner and made his way over eagerly. Inside he got several courses and chowed down.
'Yes!'
He could almost weep tears. No one was moving in his direction. An uninterrupted meal. He was really hoping such good luck would hold out.
"Ahhh. Yes, that hit the spot. Compliments to the chef I guess. Illusion: Hidden in Plain Sight."
With the issue of paying over with he went up and refilled his drink before sitting down and thinking about what had happened since he was unsealed. It had been very surreal to learn that 300 years had passed instantly for him. Everything was so strange and different.
He was able to go with the flow well enough but this dimension was just something he wanted to be done with. He had his own problems to deal with. Assuming they were still there to deal with when he got home.
'It might be a foolish hope. But I must return home.'
"Heh heh, you are too stubborn kid. Everything is probably different back home as well. It is not like we chose to come here either. We still have to dea-"
'Enough Kurama. I know the chances. But I can't contact the toads here so the only way to find out is to go back myself.'
Naruto glanced at the door. Someone he recognized had just entered. She seemed to think he hadn't noticed her and started stalking towards him. When she was behind him she jumped towards where he was sitting.
She crashed hard against the table and looked up to see Naruto's hand stopping her from sliding off. He was sitting down on the opposite side of the table from before. His chin rested in his other hand as he looked at her with a bored expression.
"Nya girl. What do you think you are doing? Hmmm?"
She pouted and settled herself into the seat across from him. The customers around the store glanced oddly at her but did their best not to be caught staring. She rested her large bust atop her arms on the table and looked at Naruto pleadingly.
"Naruto! That was mean. Why did you dodge?"
He just stared at her with an 'are you serious' expression which she eventually relented to.
"Alright, look I don't know exactly what it is you are planning to do now you are free. But I recently became a free agent myself. So what do ya say? Me and you against the world? With your strength and my beauty we could take over anything we wanted."
Her voice was finally serious for the first time since he met her and he sighed. Her playful attitude had been a bit of fresh air among all the serious recruiters he had been dealing with.
"No thanks. Now I will be taking my leave. Please don't follow me. If you keep insisting I will be more persuasive in my efforts to be rid of you."
He stood up and walked towards the door. As he stepped out into the street he looked up and saw the moon rising over the city.
'I was inside longer then I thought. Is she follo-'
He jumped up and attached himself to the side of a large building next door. Three lightning bolts crashed down into the street and a rumble of thunder rent the night air. Three strong energy signatures suddenly popped up on Naruto's senses and he eyed the street warily.
Three huge people stood on the street. Their appearances kind of reminded him of the guy who had sealed him.
'Don't tell me these guys are gods…'
One figure stood ahead of the others as they flanked him from behind. The three were twice the size of a normal human and their skin glowed faintly against the night air. Their power was rolling off them in waves. They clearly meant business. Naruto eyed them but did not move from his position.
"Oi can I help you lot? Or is this just a happy coincidence and I can be on my way?"
The figure in front had a long groomed silver beard. He was wearing a simple white toga pinned by a large circular medallion. He stepped forward and spoke.
"You are the one called Naruto? Formerly thought to be the beast of the apocalypse 666?"
"I am Naruto Uzumaki."
He said and dropped down from the building to stand several feet away from the trio. The figure with glowing blue hair that looked to be composed of writhing flames stepped up on his left. His skin was a ghostly white compared to the first figure's hearty golden color. His emaciated face stretched tightly as he spoke.
"Come now brother, we know he is the one we seek. Do not dawdle in your speech. It has been made clear this Naruto does not appreciate beating around the bush."
The third figure stepped forward as well. A strange frill ran down his bald head backwards and his skin shone with a blue tint. His beard was speckled like a mix of salt and pepper. Naruto chose to ignore the green seaweed hanging from it.
"Hades, Zeus let us focus on the matter at hand. Do not squabble with one another."
The well-groomed man at the front nodded his head and cleared his throat.
"Yes, yes Poseidon. Now Naruto, we are the three brothers of the ancient greek pantheon. We are elder gods and we are here to request your help. A former ally of ours has recently begun to try and break our friendship. We believe they are going to start a war between us. We are near even matches for one another and the fallout from our fights threatens the balance of many things.
"We request your assistance to mediate this debacle. Or at the very least side with us and stop this before any large scale fighting can break out. What do you say will you assist us?"
Naruto stared at the three. So much for his luck today. Why can't anyone work out their own shit in this dimension?
"Well I can't say I am interested. You see I am very busy and I do not have time to go around and deal with other's problems. So why don't you guys just zap back into the sky and have a nice evening."
The large figure in the middle sputtered and his face began to redden.
"BOY! Do not test me! I asked you ni-"
The frill headed one grabbed the angry one and silenced him.
"Brother we cannot force him to fight for us. Allow me. Ahem. Naruto, we are really not asking for much from you. We are willing to reward you richly for your efforts. Do you not wish to live as a god and eat till your heart's content of our sweet ambrosia?"
Naruto snorted. Then glanced towards the shop he ate at and say the cat girl poking her head out from behind the door. She looked very surprised at the three's arrival.
"Look, I don't care one way or another for any of your rewards. I don't want your lifestyle or your food. You know why? I have my own lifestyle and my own food. It is truly the food of the gods and when I get back home I am going to eat till I burst. So what do I care for your meager offers?"
He looked at their flabbergasted faces and withheld a small chuckle. Then he saw the sheet white face of cat girl and winked at her. 3…2…1…
"How DARE YOU FOOL!"
"I SHALL SMIGHT YOU!"
"I never liked ambrosia much either…"
The three god's spoke simultaneously the curious blue fire haired man did not seem to be offend by Naruto like the other two were. The middle one stepped forward slightly more and slammed his large fist against his chest.
"BOY! I am Zeus. Lord of the sky and god of thunder. You dare to refuse me and speak so insolently? The biblical god may have been unable to handle you properly. But I shall correct his mistake. Kneel and suffer for your foolishness."
Lightning sparked into his palm and several large bolts were quickly hurled toward Naruto. The shot forward at an extreme pace and Naruto swung his palm out and batted the glowing yellow projectiles off course.
They smashed into the buildings behind him and exploded in a shower of sparks. Naruto did not take the time to examine the damage and was already rushing towards the trio. His chakra roared through his coils and his hands quickly sped through a series of seals.
"Lava Release: Melted Earth"
He spoke quietly and the ground beneath the gods exploded and oozed forth globs of molten earth. They jumped free and split across the sky. Naruto let a vicious grin cross his face and accelerated toward the now separate Zeus. A large burst of chakra coated his fist and he smashed the god across the face.
A resounding bang blasted across the night air and Zeus rocketed into the paved road below. His body smashed a huge crater and there were no immediate signs of him getting back up. Naruto turned and looked at the other two. He spoke is a cold harsh tone.
"Do not challenge me. Leave now. If you try to attack me a second time. I promise you there will not be a third chance."
His voice boomed with power as he used some of Kurama's chakra to add that little extra touch of intimidation. The flame haired one, Hades he believed frill head or Poseidon called him answered him.
"You think we're are scared by a show of power? We are the elder gods of one of the ancient pantheons. We have fought countless powerful foes. You were defeated by one god. Do not presume to fight the three of us. Zeus was blinded by his anger, we will not be."
Down on the street Kuroka stared wide eyed. She knew Naruto was powerful. To have fought and lived against Great Red nothing less than godly power would be expected. But he had apparently just knocked Zeus out with a single blow. Not to mention his ability to control lava.
Hades and Poseidon both summoned their power and their aura's came to life around them. Ghostly blue flames licked against hades skin while flowing blue waves seemed to wash around Poseidon. Poseidon summoned a trident and Hades drew out a black two-pronged pitch fork.
Then a tremendous crack echoed across the street as Zeus busted out of his crater and took his place among his brothers. A larger golden aura sparked around him. A blinding golden bolt of energy filled his hand.
Naruto sighed in his head.
'What a setback…'
Naruto quickly drew in some of the natural energy around him and refined it into a miniscule amount of sage chakra. He used this to jump right in his six paths sage mode.
To the observers, one moment Naruto had closed his eyes in concentration then he had disappeared. His six paths senjustu power fist smashed into Poseidon. The power directly cutting through his life force as the physical strength overwhelmed his godly body and pulped his head. A spray of red mist exploded in every direction but Naruto was already moving again.
A black chakra rod sprung into his hand as his truth seeking ball responded to his command. He swung the rod and it obliterated Hades battle fork and carved a line of dust through the god's chest.
Naruto then was upon Zeus his chakra rod was simply jabbed forward and the elder god of the greek pantheon found his famous thunderbolt disintegrated as his heart was turned to dust and he fell from the sky.
The three body smashed into the ground at the same time. Naruto had killed them all within an instant. He would never hesitate or give a god like being a chance again. He had already made this mistake twice now. He had a policy of never giving anything a third chance.
[ToR]
To Kuroka one moment Naruto had been about to engage in a titanic battle against three gods. THREE GODS! But then he shut his eyes. The instant after his eyes shut she felt it. Her death was before her, She could see Naruto hovering over her dead corpse his face blank as he looked at her with an icy stare.
She was overcome with terror and suddenly she found herself back on the ground outside the diner. Looking up she saw the three god's falling. Poseidon's head was gone, Zeus's chest was a gaping hole and Hades seemed to have been cut in half.
Naruto was hovering there but his aura was completely different. His clothing was slightly different and a he now wore a glowing golden coat. His shoes and hair glowed with the same overwhelming intensity. She felt like an ant before its maker. She had felt god like aura's before. But Naruto's current aura eclipsed anything she believed possible.
His strength was beyond anything a god could hope to achieve. Was Great Red this powerful? How had he defeated Naruto before? The three god's bodies hit the road and Naruto glanced down at the sound. Without noise he swept his arm towards them and three black balls shot out. One struck each corpse and Kuroka watched as they evaporated into dust.
A breeze blew by and the three elder gods of the greek pantheon were no more. Annihilated in an instant by this one man. He turned his gaze towards Kuroka and the fierce power in his gaze forced her to shrink as small as possible and tremble before him.
Naruto observed her and wondered what to do. He could kill her but she had never been hostile towards him. Rather she chased after him like a stray cat looking for a new owner. He sighed. His six paths sage mode extinguished and Naruto hung there in the sky.
"Kuroka, I want you to let this be known. I have already given plenty of people here a second chance. If anyone comes towards me again I will kill them. Do you people not understand what I mean when I say leave me alone?"
Naruto turned his back and disappeared. Several leaves spiraled down from his place in the sky and Kuroka just sat there and stared wide eyed. Naruto changed things. His power, his existence, it was terrifying. But what truly scared her was she had no idea what he would do next.
Well, this chapter is kinda short. But it is what it is.
I want to know if you guys think I portrayed Naruto's power well. Like I don't really understand his six paths sage mode. But to me and after looking at fairy tail dragon slayers stat sheet some. Naruto is like crazy strong. And senjutsu is over powered in the dxd world I believe. So senjutsu but on the next level back by Naruto's immense strength I believe he would be this strong against three gods past their prime.
If it seems to much thought let me know and I will see about making it more believable.
Otherwise thanks for reading.
