Chapter 2: Unexpected
Naruto walked down the shopping street and saw the stall he was looking for. He went there and bought the things he needed. He paid generously and continued down the shopping street. The day before yesterday he had forgotten a few things that he wanted to buy, so he bought them here in the shopping street.
After he had walked a few meters, Issei and Koneko Tōjō happened to meet him. Koneko Tōjō was in the same club as Issei and was the school's mascot. There were actually quite a few famous students in the occult research club.
Koneko was a petite girl with white hair and gold eyes. The front of her hair had two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back had a short bob cut. She also wore a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair. She wore the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, without the shoulder cape.
Issei was currently still wearing the academy's school uniform with his red t-shirt underneath his white shirt. "Hey Naruto!" Issei was really surprised to see Naruto here. Yesterday after school, Xenovia and Irina came to his club and talked to his boss. The meeting was quite intense, and, in the end, he even fought with Yūto against the two. Unfortunately, he and Yūto lost. Afterwards, his boss forbade him to interfere in the events of the church and the fallen angels. However, Yūto was his comrade and friend.
Yūto was originally a nameless orphan who was taken in by the church and chosen to become part of the Holy Sword Project. The person in charge and overseeing everything later decided to eliminate all participants, which resulted in all of Yūto's friends dying in the action and him developing a hatred towards the Holy Swords. Yūto was determined to destroy the Holy Swords, which is why Irina and Xenovia were here.
However, Yūto could never do this alone in his life. That's why he went with Koneko to look for Irina and Xenovia. Yūto had already found out who killed the priest who was investigating the disappearance of 3 Holy Swords. The person's name was Freed Sellzen, an exiled priest. They knew that Yūto could never stand-alone against the fallen angels and against Freed Sellzen, which is why he first wanted to go to Irina and Xenovia alone. He wanted to work with them to eliminate this opportunity. However, Koneko pursued Issei and joined him. She just said: "I don't like going behind the boss's back, but Yūto is our friend."
Now Naruto happened to be standing here in front of him and Koneko, which he hadn't expected. He remembered his promise and was determined that he would meet up with Naruto again after this whole thing was over.
"Hi Issei, you're shopping too?" Issei nodded and told Naruto that he and Koneko needed to buy something for the club.
"Ok, then I don't want to stop you. Call me one day, ok?"
"What you can rely on!"
Naruto continued walking and actually wanted to turn back into an alley so he could get home faster. Until he heard 2 voices.
"A small gift for 2 poor, abandoned sheep."
"Yes, we ask for a sign of mercy for us permanent servants of God."
Naruto had to blink, he thought he was seeing an illusion. Xenovia and Irina stood there in front with their white cloaks. All you could see was their faces and their hair. Both said their requests. 'What will this be when it's finished?'
Naruto walked up to the two and spoke to them directly. "Irina! Xenovia! What are you doing here?"
The two looked at the source of the voice and saw Naruto looking at them perplexed. Naruto raised an eyebrow as the two got twinkles in their eyes.
Naruto really didn't know what to think of that. He was currently at home and in front of him Irina and Xenovia were sitting at his kitchen table, devouring the food he had made for them. 'How much can these two eat?!' Light drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.
After a few minutes, the two girls gave a brief moan of satisfaction and thanked Naruto for the good food.
"So why were you in the middle of the shopping street asking for food like poor beggars?"
Xenovia just stared at Irina, who with a confident look told Naruto about the picture she had bought and why the two of them had no money left.
"Irina…"
"Yes Naruto?" She smiled, confident that she had done everything right.
"You got tricked."
"Huh?" It took Irina a moment to realize what she had just been told. What came next was a spectacle in itself. Irina had a mental breakdown, the only way she could be duped. She prayed to God why he gave her such a difficult test.
Meanwhile, Xenovia addressed Naruto, who simply watched the spectacle with a blank expression on his face. "Naruto, right?" Naruto blinked once and then looked at Xenovia. "Yes."
"Thank you for the delicious food, you are our lifesaver." Xenovia had never eaten anything so delicious. She already had a meeting with a high priest where they had eaten in a restaurant. However, the restaurant's food didn't come close to Naruto's.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can't allow you both to starve. That makes me wonder, do you have somewhere to stay at the moment?" Xenovia just shook her head.
"No. The original plan was for us to stay in a hotel for our presence here in Kuoh. However…" Naruto just nodded, "I see."
"If it doesn't make you uncomfortable, you can stay with me for now. I happen to have a guest room with two beds in it."
"This would be too kind. I hereby accept your generous offer on behalf of myself and my partner." Xenovia was happy that Naruto had found them both. Now she and her partner had a roof over their heads for their stay here in Kuoh. There was also the delicious food that Naruto could cook.
"I don't know about you; I'm just going to go to the bathroom. The guest room is the room at the back of the hallway. You two can't miss it." So, Naruto walked out of the kitchen and turned into the hallway.
Xenovia looked at her partner and held a hand to her forehead. "Why do I have to have a partner like that?"
As Naruto came out of the bathroom, he heard some noises coming from the guest room. He wanted to know if everything was okay and knocked on the door. "Hey, are you okay?"
Irina's voice sounded "Yes Naruto! You are a gift from God, thank you very much!"
Naruto chuckled briefly "Ok, the bathroom is free. I put towels in front of the shower for you if you want to shower. I'll be in the living room if you're looking for me."
"Thank you, Naruto." Xenovia opened the door and now Naruto could see what was hidden under the white cloaks. The tight-fitting combat clothing of the two emphasized every single curve of them. He smiled and then turned around. He walked down the hall and went into the living room. He closed the door behind him and turned on some music. 'Both have a great body.' thought Naruto.
'Ok, time for some training.' He had changed his clothes when he came to with the two of them. He was currently wearing black sports pants and an orange T-shirt. He took off his shirt and started an intense workout.
After an hour, he jumped up from a lying position and landed safely on both feet. He wiped the sweat from his upper body and put his T-shirt back on. He opened the door to his garden and walked out with a smile. A small round golden portal appeared again over his shoulder and a wooden sword appeared out of it. He grabbed the handle and then the golden portal disappeared.
Naruto felt every single blade of grass at his feet. It was a pleasant feeling to stand barefoot in the grass. Individual cherry blossom petals flew through the air. In Naruto's garden there were 2 cherry blossom trees and another flower bed.
You could see that Naruto was taking care of his garden. The lawn was trimmed, the flowers looked good and the bushes in the garden also looked trimmed. Naruto got into a basic stance with his wooden sword and swung it. He had a very special ability where he could create small golden portals that were connected to a special place. He could shoot weapons from these golden portals like missiles, but his goal was to be able to use one type of weapon at least in close combat. He had decided to train in sword fighting and now he was a master swordsman. He could use any type of sword, whether it be a broadsword, a katana, or a two-handed great sword. He preferred katanas or one-handed broadswords. The wooden sword he was currently holding in his hand had the design of a single-handed broadsword.
He swung the wooden sword and practiced the techniques he had learned. You could never practice anything enough. Many people thought that at a certain point you could no longer improve at something because it no longer made any difference whether you practiced the thing or not. But everyone there was wrong. Over time, the difference from training was no longer as drastic as it was at the beginning, where you could clearly see the improvement in every area you trained.
The Uzumaki were special people who naturally had a longer lifespan than normal people. For normal people it was normal to die at some point between the ages of 70 and 90. It always depended on how the person lived.
An Uzumaki and Naruto included could live 150-180 years. Special cases even got more than 200 years old and became legends. Many Uzumaki had been sword masters in the past and thus many scrolls, books and other documents with sword styles had accumulated. Over time, the Uzumaki became feared sword masters.
Additionally, the Uzumaki's naturally had more stamina than normal humans and an increased healing factor. The origin of all these superhuman advantages lay in the past, where one of the first Uzumaki had lived.
Naruto swung his sword the whole time and performed complicated combos that are hard to see. He knew many different sword styles and had mastered each one. But for Naruto himself, the basics were the most important techniques. How do you block correctly? How should one hold the sword if someone made a stabbing attack? How should you hold your body when swinging your sword to unleash maximum power? He had trained for years to master all of these things and much more. He learned the more complex techniques in each sword style fairly easily because he had trained so diligently in the basics and nothing else. He hadn't started learning the more complex techniques until he had mastered the basics.
His goal was to become stronger so that he could protect himself. He was just a little boy back then when both of his parents were slaughtered in front of him by a few devils. The devils had not noticed Naruto because he was in a secret chamber of the house where he could not be found. He was just 4 years old at the time. He became an orphan and then grew up in an orphanage. It was a difficult time, but he learned the full reasons within the next 2 years. He started training at the age of 6, in secret of course.
His special ability awakened at the age of 8, where he had a dream about a man with golden blonde hair and red eyes. He looked like a king and spoke to Naruto in his dream. Naruto couldn't understand a single word the man said and yet he knew everything about his ability when he woke up. From there, he trained even more obsessively and became stronger.
Naruto was now 18 years old and after 12 long years he had gained superhuman physical abilities. Be it with the sword or his general physical attributes such as strength, endurance, speed, etc.
Half an hour later, Naruto was still training with his wooden sword. He was in a sort of trance as he went through his stances and swung his sword in different ways.
Xenovia stood on the terrace and watched Naruto swing his wooden sword. She could see straight away that his technique was very good. The way he swung his sword, how every single movement of his body fit and was coordinated. Naruto Uzumaki wasn't just someone who played sports. He had learned swordplay from someone and was very knowledgeable in the area. Xenovia could see that straight away. Every little movement seemed to make sense, no matter how he placed his foot, a natural movement would follow from his legs and then his upper body.
Naruto swung his sword straight forward once more and stopped, causing a small gust of wind to move and causing his hair, clothing, and the grass beneath his feet to move slightly. His focused gaze was directed forward, where his sword now was. He relaxed his entire body and let the wooden sword fall next to his body. He looked at the terrace and raised both eyes, somewhat surprised. He hadn't even noticed that Xenovia had been watching him.
"Hi, Xenovia," Naruto said with a smile.
"I see you've learned swordplay," Xenovia said.
"Yes. It's a tradition in my family to learn how to use a sword." Naruto explained and walked past Xenovia to put the wooden sword on the wall. He hadn't trained with a real sword specifically so that he wouldn't attract attention. A wooden sword was not noticeable.
"You have a very good technique, Naruto. I'm really impressed." Xenovia wasn't even sure if she could perform the movements precisely like Naruto. The way he swung the wooden sword was beautiful. She had never seen such a beautiful way to wield the sword.
"Thanks," Naruto said. "So, what's up? You look like you want to go." Naruto said. She was wearing her combat gear again with her white cloak over it and she was again holding her large object in her hand.
"Yes. "Irina and I have something to do, and I just wanted to let you know." Xenovia said. Naruto nodded and walked back into the house with her. He took his wooden sword with him and placed it against a wall in the living room.
"Wait a second," Naruto said and went into the hallway. Irina seemed to still be in the guest room changing because Naruto could still hear noises coming from the room. He opened a drawer in a closet in the hallway and took out a spare key.
He closed the drawer again and went back to Xenovia, who was already waiting for him. "Here is a spare key to my house. I don't know how long you'll be gone, and I might be gone." Naruto said.
10 minutes later Naruto closed the door to his house and stretched once. He had finished his training for the day and since he was now alone, he could go shower without any worries. Naruto eventually came out of the bathroom, currently wearing simple black gym shorts and an orange muscle shirt. He went into the kitchen and made himself something to eat and went into the garage after eating something.
"Ok, then let's see if you can finally work." Naruto stood directly in front of the Challenger and didn't speak to anyone directly, but rather to the car in front of him. Naruto took the key in his hand and went to the driver's door and opened it. He sat down and was greeted by a comfortable leather seat. He sat down and put the key in. He closed his eyes and prayed briefly that it would finally work. Naruto turned the key and the loud sound of the V8 engine echoed through his garage. Naruto opened his eyes and slid his hand slightly over the steering wheel. "I knew you could do it. Why not directly like that, little one?" Naruto grinned. He knew what he would definitely do on the weekend. He turned the key again and took out the key and got out of his car. 'You cost me a whole year. About time you finally came to life.' Naruto grinned as he could still hear the sound of his now completely finished car. He closed the driver's door and locked the car. Naruto went back into the house and sat down on his couch. He had actually planned to do some work on the car after training. However, since this was done, Naruto now didn't know what to do.
'Hmm, I could go for a walk. I haven't watched the sunset in a long time.' Naruto nodded to himself and stood up. He stretched briefly and then went to his room to change. He just put on a pair of black jeans and simply pulled his black leather jacket over his muscle shirt and then went into the kitchen and took a bottle of water with him. Once he had put on his black shoes, he walked out of his house and locked the door behind him. He took a deep breath through his nose, taking in the scent of the breeze.
He slowly started walking towards a small rise that was just outside of Kuoh. From there you could see the whole city and also see the sun setting perfectly. Naruto walked towards the forest so as not to take the long route. He had found a small path at the end of the forest that led straight up the hill. Once you went up the hill, you were already on the hill and there Naruto could watch the sunset in peace.
Naruto walked through the first row of trees and walked calmly through the forest. He observed some birds feeding their chicks in their nests. Naruto had to say one thing about Kuoh... Kuoh wasn't the smallest town, however the animals that lived around Kuoh could live in peace. All forests and other natural areas around Kuoh were marked as nature reserves. That meant you weren't allowed to hunt or anything like that.
Naruto arrived at the path after a few minutes and started climbing it without any further problems. The path was a bit difficult in some places as there were larger rocks here and there. Other than that, Naruto had no problems.
He took the last step and reached the hill where he could watch the sunset. There was a bench right by the wooden fence surrounding the hill where he sat down. He had headphones with him and put them on. He plugged the cable from his headphones into his music player and pressed play. The melody started playing and he just looked at the horizon and took in the atmosphere.
He spent the entire sunset on the hill and when the sun had set, he flicked something away and stood up. He briefly brushed off his clothes and then wanted to go back towards his house until he felt it. The aura of a fallen angel and it wasn't Azazel. It was the same fallen angel that he had sensed in Kuoh before.
He narrowed his eyes and looked to his right. 'There's another aura there that I can't quite make out. I should take a look at this.' Naruto thought. He stormed off and ran to his destination at superhuman speed. To a normal person, Naruto had just disappeared in a flickering motion.
As he ran through the forest, he could sense 2 more auras the closer he got. His eyes widened when he sensed Irina and Xenovia. He went even faster and hoped that nothing would happen to the two of them.
"So, Azazel, what's it about?" asked a young woman with long silver hair and ice blue eyes. She had an annoyed look on her face as she looked at Azazel. She wore a white shirt under a black leather jacket with metal spikes on the shoulders, blue pants and black leather boots. You could still see a silver chain around her neck and two silver rings on her right hand. On her back you could still see 2 blue-white shimmering wings.
Azazel laughed slightly when he saw the spectacle on TV. He looked over his shoulder and looked into the young woman's ice blue eyes. "Why do you look so annoyed again, Vali?" asked Azazel.
Vali frowned and as she did, her wings disappeared in a blue light. She crossed her arms under her breasts. Unlike other female devils, Vali did not have a particularly curvy body or large breasts. Vali was a descendant of the original Satan and thus she had inherited extreme demonic power. She was one of the strongest devils currently alive.
"Ok, relax," Azazel said, getting up from the couch. The two were just in his "hotel room". He turned off the TV and walked with her to the window. "Kokabiel is in town and has something planned. So far no one knows that I have infiltrated the city and it would be better if it stayed that way."
"So, you want me to stop Kokabiel?" Vali asked.
"Only when it's necessary. There's someone I'm interested in, and you might not need to get involved at all," Azazel explained.
Vali raised an eyebrow "Who is interesting enough for you to find interesting?" Vali asked.
"Well... you'll see when you get going," Azazel said, pointing in the direction of where Kokabiel was. Vali remained silent for a moment and then sighed in annoyance.
"All right. I'll take care of it. Don't complain if Kokabiel dies." Vali said and opened a window. She jumped out of the window and her blue and white wings appeared. She shot away, leaving a gust of wind that blew into Azazel's "hotel room". Azazel just smiled, his gray kimono and hair moving slightly in the wind.
Naruto stopped when he could see the people in the distance. Xenovia was nowhere to be seen, but he could still see Irina, the fallen angel, and another man. He looked like a priest and was holding a strange sword in his hand. 'That looks something like...' Naruto thought.
He knew a lot of weapons because he had already held a lot of weapons in his hand, and he was particularly familiar with swords. His special ability with which he opened the golden portals was called Gate of Babylon.
With this he was able to open portals to another dimension where countless weapons, treasures and other things were stored. He could pull weapons out of the golden portals and fire them like bullets. Depending on the type of weapon, he could do more damage with it. The weapons stored in the other dimension were not all of the same quality. All were magical weapons and they varied in strength. Some were extremely strong, and others were not so strong.
He used this ability to fight at a distance should he choose to do so. Sometimes he abandoned this tactic and preferred close-range combat with a sword. There were a few swords that he liked to use for close combat. Depending on the opponent and the situation, he equipped himself with a sword and fought with it.
The priest seemed to be moving very quickly as he suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Irina. He swung his strange sword and Irina could only just turn around and block the attack with her katana. However, the katana was knocked out of her hand, and it suddenly turned into a kind of white rope and landed on the ground a few meters away.
A golden portal appeared behind Naruto, where a completely black Japanese long sword with a black blade, cross guard, and handle appeared. The cross guard had four prongs bent out to form the shape of the manji. He took the black sword and stormed at Irina and the priest. The priest raised his sword and was about to attack Irina again, but before he could even swing his sword, Naruto suddenly appeared with his black sword in his hand and blocked the attack from the priest.
Irina was startled and instinctively took a step back. Her eyes widened when she saw who had appeared before her and protected her. His golden blonde hair moved a little due to the quick movement and his black leather jacket did the same. Naruto looked with his blue eyes into the priest's red ones. His usually warm blue eyes were now ice cold and showed nothing but murderous intent.
Author Note: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as well and we will see each other in the next one! I will work on Golden Saint next, so the next chapter I will release will be off Golden Saint. Stay strong all of you and be careful. I wish you all the best.
