Chapter 8: The End of the Greater Fiends
Vigoor, Nighttime
Tsuru was staring angrily at Doku one of the people responsible for attacking her home. behind him was Alma and Rachel, Rachel still unconscious tied to an altar. As the Dark mages continue chanting Alma began to change Her skin turning even dark to the point that it turned Purple, her head injury was healed and the lower part of her body became that of a spider with multiple legs. Her hand became similar to a mantis with a total of 3 that looked like scythes.
Seeing this Tsuru was growing even more worried and Doku noticed. "As you can see, Alma is awakening to her full potential, so right now you have no chance of winning. Flee now or suffer a most agonizing death." Doku Laughed.
"Not happening." Tsuru replied before smirking. "But I am curious about one thing. Like what would happen if I killed you as a ghost." Tsuru said ready to start fighting.
If it wasn't for the mask everyone would see how angry Doku was. "Miserable little brat! Alma! Destroy her!"
Music playing, Demons are a girls beat friend
Alma obeyed as she charged at Tsuru who quickly jumped out of the way to avoid being tackled. Alma then turned around to fire a beam of pink energy and Tsuru did a super jump focusing her Ki to her legs. She then landed on top of Alma and stabbed her arm blades into her back before electrifying her with the same Ninpo she used in their first fight.
Alma managed the shake her off not taking a lot of damage. She unleashed a primal scream that called other fiends, 4 to be exact.
Tsuru knew she had to quickly take out these fiends before they overwhelmed her. Adding sprite energy to her feet she jumped up and then jumped again while in midair and continued this process until she was 35 feet in the air "Hadō #39 Swift!"
Tsuru Summoned 40 energy stars and unleashed them on the 4 fiends including Alma causing a huge dust cloud. Activating her eagle pulse which is just like eagle vision but more so brief as in to use eagle vision one must not be so immersed in battle. She could see that 4 of the demons were destroyed but one was missing the most important one. "Where is Alma?!"
Her question was soon answered when she noticed large shadow and looked up to see Alma above her charging at her with her deadly scythe like claws. With so little time to dodge Tsuru used the air walk to launch herself back to the ground and used another Kidō spell "Bakudō #4 Crawling Rope!" From her hands Tsuru summoned a yellow energy energy rope that coiled around Alma with her wing restrained she came crashing down.
Once on the ground Tsuru pulled the rope to make sure that Alma was still restrained.
"Now let's try this again! Ninpo: Art of Inazuma!" Using the spirit rope he was able to able to transfer her lightning attack to Alma doing a lot more damage this time. After the attack finished Alma was now slouching feeling the paralyzing effect.
"Now stay down!" Tsuru said as the yellow rope disappeared.
Seeing that Alma was losing Doku could no longer just stay on the sidelines. Tsuru was stronger than he anticipated. He needed to act now and destroy her. Gathering blue fire in his hands he intended to roast her and launched it in a stream of fire.
Tsuru saw this and was about to do something until a circle portal appeared in front of her and a second appeared right of Doku. When the attack hit the portal the blue fire hit Doku hurting him. "Sorry ghosty can't let do that." Magilou said being the one who created the portal. "This fight is getting way too good to have you throwing your ghostly paws in it."
"How dare you interfere!" Doku yelled flying towards Magilou with intention to kill. However with a snap of her fingers another portal opened up. Too late to stop himself the ghost fiend went through the portal as it closed.
"I say you have about 5 or 10 minutes before he flies back over here to try and get in the way again so I end this quick if I were you." Magilou said.
Tsuru only nodded as she turned her attention back to Alma.
Alma who was beginning to gain back her movement charged up pink energy beam blast at Tsuru who quickly jumped out of the way. Alma continued this to keep Tsuru from getting closer so she had more time to get more of her moved back. Realizing this Tsuru decided to try out a new Technique she recently learned and has only ever used on one person. She focused her side energy which was Spirit energy and out came 4 arms made of Reiyoku with arm blades.
"It time to finish this." Tsuru said staring at Alma with pity. "I truly feel bad for you and Rachel, no one should have to be forced or deceived to become a fiend. If there was a way I could turn you back human I would, but I can't. So the least I can do is free you from your curse existence."
Tsuru took a deep breath as Alma began to charge more pink demonic energy. She closed her eyes as Alma unleashed a powerful beam of pink energy right at her. The beam was heading towards her when suddenly it began to slow down and everything around around her slow down as she folded her 6 arms together. She then started running at normal speed while everything was still moving slow. "Special Technique: Six Vacuum wave; Ultimate wind cutter!"
Time went back to normal, the scene was now completely different. Tsuru Was now behind Alma with her 6 arms now 2 again and Alma losing 5 arms as she fell to the ground defeated alive but just barely. "Its over." Tsuru said.
"Well that's quite the Technique alright, I almost couldn't follow it." Magilou said with a smirk on her face. Seeing things from her perspective Tsuru charged at the pink laser extending her 6 arms outward unleashing a 6 point end sword blast That cut right through the energy beam hitting Alma and cutting off 5 of her 6 scythe arms when she tried to defend against it doing serious lethal damage. "But then again I should expect nothing less from someone trained by that Monster Ryu, She's practically a monster herself now, I'm starting to like this one."
"Noooooo!" Doku yelled as he came back to see Alma was defeated, looking back at the Pyramid altar where Rachel was still restrained he knew what he had to do next. Flying over and appearing above her he took out his ghostly sword. "Alma may have proved to be a failure but let's see How powerful Rachel will be when she becomes a greater fiend!"
"No way! That aint gonna happen you Ghostly freak show!" Tsuru said running up the Pyramid. However she used so much energy that she wasn't moving as fast as she would usually. "I might not make it!"
Just then at that moment Alma With what little strength she had left rushed up the Pyramid as well pushing Tsuru away. Using her last scythe arm she cut Rachel free and took Doku's attack getting stabbed in her orb stomach.
What followed was an explosion of yellow energy That knocked out the dark mages, pushed Tsuru off the altar but was caught by Magilou's magic, and Doku being in close proximity got hurt by the explosion and decided to retreat "This isn't over!" Doku proclaimed as he disappeared vowing revenge.
When Tsuru regained consciousness she saw at the top of the Altar Rachel holding her sister Alma who was now in human form beginning to regain consciousness. Rachel held her tight as she cried tears of joy of seeing her sister alive and back to normal.
"She's human again? How? I always thought once you became a full fiend you could never go back to being human again?" Tsuru said confused. She's happy that the sisters were reunited but the strange reverse metamorphose was unexpected.
"Who knows, maybe there was still some humanity left in her. Doku gave her the power to become a greater fiend, Guess she decided to give it back." Magilou said quite intrigued about what happened as well. "But other than that I say her demonic blood has been suppressed so that's one less Greater fiend to deal with."
"It seems so." Tsuru said looking at the sisters and smiling. She's happy with this outcome. "We should go, They must have a lot to catch up on." Tsuru said.
"I was just thinking the same thing." Magilou said Snapping her fingers as they disappeared.
Magilou Teleported them to Han's bar which was still empty. "Well I gotta say that was a pretty fun side quest, lots of interesting things happened." Magilou said leaning against the bar counter.
"You have my gratitude for not just helping me find Rachel but also assisting me against Doku." Tsuru said thanking Magilou.
"No problem I got a favour out of it, aaand maybe something else too." Magilou said looking at Tsuru taking note of her appearance as began towards her.
Tsuru was confused. "What do you mean by-" Tsuru couldn't finish as Magilou went up to her and kissed her on the lips. Tsuru was greatly surprised by this and quickly ended it. "What the hell!?"
"What? I said I was starting to like you, anyway I look forward to seeing you again Tsuru, Bye!" Magilou said before disappearing.
Tsuru was now alone and embarrassed. "I am not looking forward to the favor she's going to ask of me in the future." Tsuru said before getting a call from Ayane.
"Hello people! How did you like mine and Tsuru's side quest? Sure I didn't do much but I wasn't supposed to anyway. It was just to show how powerful Tsuru individually is. But anyway let's check back in with Naruto, and by the way I swing both ways and I'm very picky about my lovers"
In another abandon district
Naruto and Ayane were sinking around the district that had no one in sight. There were no fiends around thankfully but at the same time confusing.
"Why are they're so few Fiends around here? I thought the black dragon blade attracted a huge whore of them." Naruto wondered.
"That is odd, but maybe something is scaring them away." Ayane said.
"How so?" Naruto asked.
"The fiends aren't that different from animals, they both possess instinct. Some animals are able to detect Extreme threats, when that happens they will try to avoid it. Which means someone Very strong is around here. But the strangest thing is I can't sense them?" Ayane explained while also being surprised.
"That is wired." Naruto then herd faint footsteps and quickly pulled himself and Ayane to a nearby alleyway and behind a crate. Ayane asked what he was doing as he was still holding her close as they were crouched down. "I could hear 2 people coming." Naruto whispered.
They saw Gamov walking with someone wearing a reddish purple cloak. "Where is Ryu and his apprentices?" The dark disciple asked.
"They're wandering around here somewhere, My Excellency." Gamov said. "Who knows what they're up to."
"Excellency?" Both Naruto and Ayane said not knowing who this other person was.
"And the Dark Dragon?" The cloak person asked next.
"To put it simply, It seems that the Dark Dragon now free of its seal, is gradually absorbing the chaos of the battlefield and this becoming a truly evil blade." Gamov explained as the 2 young ninjas listen in. "It's not surprising that we did not know of its true capacity. It's clear to see why the ancients sealed it away so carefully. If this continues it might become the strongest weapon the world has ever seen, And whoever possesses it-"
"Do I sense greed in your voice?" The Dark disciple asked the question feeling more like a warning than a question.
"Of course not Excellency." Gamov Quickly said.
"A very wise answer, you will be rewarded handsomely I assure you of that." The dark disciple said.
"He's gonna kill him by the end of this crisis. I don't know how but I have a feeling he's gonna do it." Naruto whispered.
"Ok predictions aside this might be our best chance to capture and find out who this cloaked guy is." Ayane said just about ready to move in until the ground began to vibrate and the gravity was so intense that both her and Naruto fell on their knees.
They were worried that they may have been spotted but to their surprise Gamov and the Cloaked figure were also affected by the change in gravity Gamov being forced on one knee and the dark disciple resisting being forced down.
The person responsible for this was none other than Asterius walking towards them. "My Excellency! We must run! He Is!"
"I know, but relax. We are not his objective." The dark disciple said not as worried as Gamov.
"You guessed right, Murie." Asterius said shocking everyone.
"How did you know?!" The dark disciple/Murie demanded.
"We May have had a spy or 2 in your spy network. As a spy master you shouldn't be too surprised." Asterius said before Moving towards the side. "Now If you don't mind I have some business in this area so leave now while I'm feeling generous."
"That Sounds more like a threat than a request." Murie said glaring at the court knight. "Let's leave Gamov." Murie said as he and Gamov walked away.
"Well that pretty much confirms it. Murie is a traitor." Naruto said glaring at the two that were leaving. "What do you think we should do now that we know that's Murie?" Naruto whispered to Ayane.
"As much as I would like to go out there and castrate them both, we can't considering Hes right there." Ayane said motion towards Asterius who suddenly disappeared.
"Where did he?" Both of them wondered.
"Good evening children." They both turned around to see the zodiac knight standing behind them.
They both panicked and jumped out of the alleyway and back onto the open area with their weapons drawn. Ayane did some hand signs "Fire Style: Fire spin trap!" Ayane said spewing fire from her mouth that circled around Asterius.
"Gigano Gusta!" Naruto said casting a strong windspell that merged with Ayane's attack that caused a fiery tornado.
When the attack ended they both were horrified to see that Asterius was not the least bit affected. "Not a bad combination attack but I'm not here to fight, I'm here to talk."
"Why would you want to talk with us?" Naruto said keeping his bo out ready to wind snipe him Ayane kept her guard up too although for some reason she couldn't stop her legs from slightly shaking. She hasn't forgotten her first experience facing a court knight specifically Sophia the Aries.
"Not really to talk but to deliver a letter. An invitation to a special event and a private party." Asterius said taking out an envelope.
"You came all the way here to invite us to a party!" Ayane said feeling dumbfounded.
"Well not me, but my Prince and Future King. Sometime in the near future hes going to be having a coronation and he wants you Naruto and Marie to attend it. You're free to bring guess but just not too many."
"Prince? Magilou said something about a prince too. If it's a coronation then that means right now!" Naruto said in deep thinking. "So what you're saying is that right now you guys don't have a king."
"We have a Queen but she plans to retire soon." The Knight said.
"Why would this Prince want to Invite his enemies to his coronation? And why would we want to come anyway?" Ayane asked.
"Honestly, I do not know." Asterius said confusing both teens. "My Prince is quite the unorthodox thinker, But the reason for this can wait for when or if you meet him, it's your choice but I would consider going to this party, it could prove insightful." Asterius said before walking away. "Good luck dealing with the foolish emperor and your traitor."
"Wait?!" Naruto called out. "I have a question and a request!"
"Naruto?" Ayane said flabbergasted.
"What are they?" Asterius said.
"What do you know about the 4th and 5th tails whereabouts?" Was Naruto question.
"I can't tell you anything regarding their whereabouts, but I'll tell you this, we had Some involvement in their disappearance." Asterius said. "What is your request?"
"I'll come to your party but on the condition that I at least meet your Prince once before then." Naruto said surprising both Ayane and Asterius. "No offense but I'm not sure I can wait that long just to meet someone who's about to be the head of a big organization such a yours. Clearly this party is gonna be a big meeting with other people who are Just as interested in meeting him."
"So you want ahead start before anyone else?" Asterius said not feeling outraged but more intrigued. What he did next surprised both teens as he threw over what looked to be a pager. "I'll deliver your message and if you get a page that means he's Interested in meeting you early. You're a lot braver than I anticipated young Uzumaki, next time we meet by my test your might against my blade." Asterius said before disappearing in an instant.
Once the zodiac was gone the 2 teens finally relaxed and let out a big sigh of relief as they collapsed on the ground sitting. "Well that This worked out smoover than I thought." Naruto said laughing a bit.
"I can not believe you just did that?!" Ayane yelled tackling Naruto. She was now on top of him while shaking him refusely by his collar. "Do you relies what could have happened if you pissed off that guy? What would you have done if he decided to attack us and we had to fight him for real?!"
"Yeah that could've happened but I don't think he came all this way just to deliver a message and then tried to destroy us." Naruto answered trying not to get a boner from Ayane sitting on him.
"Ok you have a point there." Ayane said a little annoyed of how Naruto usually simplify his actions to make sense. "But why the question and request?"
"I be happy to tell you if you get off me, I'm currently fighting a losing battle down south." Naruto said looking a bit embarrassed.
Ayane then realized the position they were in and quickly got off. "Sorry about that, please continue." Ayane said sitting on the ground looking a little embarrassed.
Naruto sat up. "Thank you, now as to why I asked that question is because something has been on my mind for a while now."
"And what's that?"
"When me, Ryu, and Tsuru were at the chapel we found out that there were Rock ninja underneath the city mining for something. Because of our battle with Alma the entrance was destroyed so we couldn't go in." Naruto explained as Ayane listened. "Don't you find it weird that they still haven't gotten themselves out despite them being earth users?"
"That is weird. But that still doesn't answer my question Naruto?" Ayane said.
"I'm getting to that. Back at the military base where I fought the Rock ninjas there one of them said that 4th and 5th tails were no longer in their possession and that knight just admitted that they had a hand in it. So that means." Naruto stopped wanting Ayane to figure it out herself.
"That means..." Ayane said thinking until it hit her. "The Court and the Rock Village are at conflict with each other and they already took out the 4th and 5th jinchuuriki. So it's possible that hes here to hunt and kill rock ninjas."
"Exactly! which means the court is trying to destroy the Rock Village or maybe even take control of it." Naruto explained. "I'm not completely sure of either but it's clear that they have plans for the land of Earth."
"When this is all over we'll have to tell everyone about this." Ayane said. "So what about the request? Why would you want to meet the prince?"
"I guess you can say it's out of curiosity. One, to see if he'll actually meet with me, and two, to see what kind of person he is?" Naruto said.
Ayane was still a bit confused. "Why would you be curious?"
"I did some research on who I think Yuyake used to be, Menma." Naruto answered before explaining. "What I found out was that Menma was an absolute loyal person to the leaf village and to the 3rd Hokage, so much that I think he cared more for the old man than I did. What could have happened to him that he would turn against the leaf village to become part of the court of silence? That's something I'm looking to ask."
"Naruto, the court has ways of turning people to their side, I mean we just found out that there may be 2 people in Murie's spy network that works for them. Everyone has a breaking point, they may have found his."
"Maybe." Naruto said thinking back to his encounters with Yuyake. How smart and strategic his plans were, How he easily seemed to control the situation to go how he wanted it without anyone being none the wiser to his presence. He didn't feel or act like some broken pawn. "Okay I think we should go look for Ryu and Tsuru, they need to know what we found out." Naruto said getting up.
"But what about Murie and Gamov? We should go after them." Ayane said getting up too.
"Given how things are right now this crisis should be over soon and that means will most likely encounter again after we get the Dark Dragon blade. Instead of trying to find out where they are now let's meet up where they're most likely going to be next."
"You know the way you think situations so well out kind of creeps me out sometimes." Ayane said.
Naruto laughed at this a bit and decided to tease her. "Isn't that one of the things that you like most about me hime?... 'Oh Crap! Why did I say it like that!?"
Ayane blushed at this before noticing something that he said. "Naruto, why did you call me Hime?" Ayane said sounding suspicious.
"I don't know? I did it on instinct and it felt right to call you that. You didn't feel offended did you?" Naruto asked.
Ayane looked away a little embarrassed. "No, I didn't. In fact I wouldn't mind you calling me that every now and again." Ayane said before pulling out her phone. "I'm going to call Tsuru to see where she is."
"Ok then." Naruto said seeing Ayane call Tsuru. "That was a close one, I almost gave away that I remember the romantic moments she had with my Shadow clone."
(This May be confusing for some of you but do dedicated people of this Is story trilogy you probably know what he's talking about. There will be a moment in the near future where all of this comes full circle. We're just waiting for the right arc.)
"Hey Naruto!" Ayane called out grabbing his attention. "Tsuru said she'll meet up with us at the Emperor's estate. I also told her about Murie she was just as surprised as I was."
"I'm sure a lot of people are going to be surprised about this, Ryu's own uncle and a long time ally of the Hyabusa clan suddenly decides to betray them. But why go so far for-" Naruto said before being interrupted by an earthquake and they looked over to see the Volcano erupting.
What came out of the erupting Volcano wasn't lava but a strange purple energy that shot out at the sky Hitting the barrier that naruto made and blast a hole through it that In effect destroyed the entire bondage field barrier.
Both of them looked up in other shock of what just happened. "That looks really, really bad!" Ayane said frightened. Now that the barrier was gone there was nothing keeping the black dragons demonic aura from seeping out of Vigoor to the rest of the world and to make matters worse the fiends can escape the city.
"I say it's going to get even worse! We need to go after Ryu now!" Naruto said as they started running toward the emperor's palace.
(To Find out what exactly happened we're gonna have to go back a bit)
Emperor's mountain palace, time frame 1am.
Ryu entered the mountain palace and to his surprise instead of finding a cave like structure he found himself in a meadow of flowers."This Is either an illusion or a reality marble. Either way where's the-" Ryu said until he saw who he was looking for. "The Vigoor Emperor."
There he was a middle age man with shoulder length white hair wearing fancy clothes. He was sitting in the Meadow holding the black dragon blade eyes purple and demon like and they were staring directly at Ryu. "So even Doku couldn't stop you, first my Black Ops team, My security force, my whole military, My samurai guards, And now my most loyal fiend general. You and your friends have made quite a mess of my Empire. Such bad manners."
"Think of it as bad karma, You attacked our homes, killed our comrades, Endangered innocence, and took something that can bring destruction to the whole world. And you said we have bad manners?" Ryu said taking out his sword. "So why don't you drop the sword, call off what's left of your army and let us leave with it."
The emperor did not respond. Instead he disappeared in one moment and appeared right in front of Ryu about to do it downward word slash with the black dragon blade but Ryu quickly blocked it with his sword.
The 2 then began to have A swordfight with the 2 legendary blade made from the Fangs of Dragons. Ryu was playing on offense trying to break through the Emperor's defense as he used the black dragon blade to block his attacks. If it was an ordinary sword he would have broke through it by now.
"Such strong striking power, for someone so normal looking you're quite the monster." The emperor said still blocking Ryu's attacks.
"And for someone brewing with so much confidence you're quite the unrefined swordsman." Ryu replied.
"What makes you think I'm fighting for real?" The emperor taunted.
"Then your a bigger fool then I thought!" Ryu said doing a spin turn to get behind him and with one powerful swing he decapitated the emperor. As the body fell down it's suddenly turned into flowers and the dark dragon blade suddenly lifted up above Ryu. "What's going on?"
What appeared next out of literal thin air was a weird giant monstrous statue with it's body not connected to its head but floating individually with wings both attached to the body and the head. The black dragon blade then appeared above its head as the flower Meadow began to change to that of a Volcano background as Ryu found himself standing on solid rock. The ground continued to shake as Ryu felt like he was about to lose his balance and quickly used a Kidō spell to lift up the ground ground that he was standing on turning iturn it into a platform.
He was now floating in the air as the emperor was floating as well staring at him preparing to attack Before it looked upward and shot a very powerful beam upwards hitting the barrier that sealed off Vigoor and destroying it. It then put its attention back on Ryu.
"Okay, So no more holding back huh? Fine!" Ryu said unleashing his Dragon Qi from as The dragon sword glowed crimson red. "Let's put an end to this once and for all!"
Music playing, Treachery
The Greater Fiend Emperor Summoned many orbs of purple energy That fired blast of is blast of energy at Ryu who used his Platform to dodge them. The orbs kept following him trying to shoot him down so he piloted his rock platform to far above and then went one power jump he charged downward from his upside down platform and cut the greater fiend emperor in the chest before his platform caught him from falling into the lava.
The damage was so great that the orbs disappeared. The emperor decided to try and punch the dragon ninja who dodged him but the force was enough to make him lose his balance so he was unable to dodge the 2nd punch that sent him hurtling towards the wall before getting control of the platform. The emperor was about to punch him again so instead of
"Dragon Swordsman art: Dragon claw strike!" Ryu said striking the shoulder Before jumping off and then taking off the lower part of the mask so his mouth and fangs were in full show. "Dragon Rage!" Ryu said Blasting a powerful fireball from his mouth that hit the shoulder and completely destroyed it making him lose an arm. He then was caught by his platform and got some distance.
The emperor resumed his orbs of energy and kept them around him and blast randomly so Ryu couldn't get closer. As he was dodging them he got an idea. Using the same spell that he used to summon his platform he and hit platform he managed to manage to levitate other rocks about about 20 some of them covered in lava. He then launched them at the Emperor With such quick speed that the orbs couldn't blast away all of them And was pushed back into the wall that had lava on it damaging his back and was restrained by the rocks.
Ryu then appeared in front of him and used the art of inferno Stronger Then a normal one and aimed straight for his head forcing the forcing the emperor to use his left arm to shield himself which which did but at the cost of destroying histop destroying his shoulder making him armless.
"Raaaaar!" The Emperor roared out loud As he began blasting from his head trying desperately to kill the dragon ninja that has caused him nothing but trouble. Said ninja was using his platform as full speed to avoid the blast But because of that he couldn't get in close But he decided to bet it all into this last strike and charged right at the beam jumping and letting it destroy the platform, due to his quick speed the emperor didn't notice as he appeared right above his head and delivered his most powerful downward slash.
"Dragon Claw Strike!" Ryu yelled As he struck the emperor's head cutting it down the middle and landing on the ground As the emperor exploded in a Purple energy wave.
Once the explosion was over over it was quiet nothing nothing but drawing of the Volcano collapsing in on itself as the lava was rising up. Ryu looked around and finally saw the black dragon blade and quickly made his way over to it. "Finally. You were more trouble than you were worth to get back." Ryu said before noticing just how unstable the is unstable the Volcano was.
"Okay, Now I get need to find a way out here." Ryu said feeling a little bit nervous.
"Did I hear that someone needed a lift?!" Ryu turned around to see Rachnera hanging by a webline slightly above him holding her hand out. "Well did I hear you right?" She said smiling.
"Yeah, I would definitely appreciate it." Ryu said jumping up to grab her hand as she pulled them out of the Volcano as it was erupting.
Outside the Volcano on the mountain side, Morning arises
The force of the Volcano elevate them far as they finally exit the Volcano and landed on top of the mountain landing hard as Ryu unintentionally let go of the black dragon blade. They laid there panting as they nearly escaped death. "Thank you, Rachnera. I was in a really tough spot there."
"No problem." Rachnera said as they got up.
"Hey! Ryu!" Naruto called out as he, Ayane, and Tsuru ran up to them. They were curious about who Rachnera was but Ryu explained that she was Samiramis's spy.
They then began to explain what all they've been through since they separated having quite a joyful time while doing so.
"So not only did you manage to take on a whole military squad and rock ninjas but 2 extremely endurable tanks!?" Tsuru said as Rachnera was just as surprised.
"Yeah I did! A but you're saying you talk down Alma who evolved into a stronger form all by yourself!?" Naruto said just as surprised and impressed. "So what did you and Magilou do afterwards?"
"Don't ask!" Tsuru said still embarrassed about the kiss.
"So you managed to not only take down Doku but also the emperor. Hayate is gonna have a hard time catching up to you now Ryu." Ayane said as her brother and Ryu were rivals as well as friends.
"It wasn't as easy as you might think Ayane. Even I wasn't so sure that I could come out there unscaled." Ryu said before he remembered something important. "The Black dragon blade? Where is it?"
"I think I see it over there!" Naruto said looking behind them. They rab over to retrieve the evil blade until they noticed 2 people who were already there. It was Gamov and the Cloaked figure also known as the Dark Disciple. "Ryu! That guy in the black cloak he's."
"I already know. Doku gave it away before he died." Ryu said staring down the man that he knows is his Uncle, Murie."
End of Chapter
And done! Hey people how have you been and sorry it took so long but here is chapter 8! It was meant to come out way early but things have been pretty busy at my job And I be too tired when I come home taking care of some personal stuff.
As you could tell this chapter was mostly focused on Tsuru and Ryu fighting as I wanted to show case more of their skills. So as you can see Tsuru is a force to be reckoned with herself. She's not part of any special clan or Secretly related to a strong race she's pure human with refine skill and technique
But now on to the important topic. The black dragon Arc Ends in the next chapter as The team deals with the dark disciple and Joe finishes his 'discussion' with the Tuschikage as well as a surprise that none of you will expect.
Anyway see you all next time and please leave reviews to keep me motivated!
