Triple Crossover: Naruto x Testament of Sisters new Devil x High School Dxd
Summary: He never wanted to survive but as always, he was lucky that someone found him and healed him. He lived his life without meaning until this specific incident. He had promised her that he would protect her at all costs. He never breaks a promise that is what Naruto Uzumaki is known for.

"Speech."
'Think.'
"Giant Creatures Speech."
'Giant Creatures Think.'
Naruto stood in front of Ms. Hasegawa's door. Tonight, he would make the pact with Mio, but before that he had to see Chisato one more time. She told him about the day before yesterday when she healed him and then sent him home again. He didn't know why he was here, but he still had something to discuss with the goddess anyway.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a few seconds Naruto could hear footsteps. The doorbell lowered and then the door opened revealing Chisato Hasegawa.
"Oh Naruto. Come in." Chisato said. She stepped aside so Naruto could enter. He had just realized it, but there was someone else in her apartment. He walked down the hall with her and came into the living area.
"Hey young friend! How are you doing?" Jin asked with a carefree smile. He was sitting on the couch with a newspaper spread across his legs.
"I'm doing well. How are you, Jin?" Naruto asked.
"I'm doing well! I'm visiting an old friend and then my neighbor shows up out of nowhere. The world is a village, isn't it?" Jin asked.
"Naturally. How are your wife and son?" Naruto asked. He had spoken to Takigawa at school and had gotten some general information about Wilbert there. He had learned from this information that Wilbert had a sister.
The sister's name was Sapphire Gremory, and together with Jin she had a son. The son was a devil like Sapphire and not a hero like Jin. The son's name was Basara, and he was quite strong. He should be able to use gravity magic just like his mother. That along with his swordsmanship made him a strong devil.
"Oho, so you know me and my family. I'm mildly impressed." Jin said with a smile.
"If the strongest hero becomes your neighbor, then you do some research." Naruto said.
"You are right. Nobody can miss your senjutsu either huh?" Jin asked.
"Not yet." Naruto said.
He turned to Chisato. "So, Ms. Hasegawa, what am I here for?" Naruto asked. He still had a concern for himself, but first he wanted to know the reason why he was here now.
"I kept you from realizing your full potential for a long time. As an apology, I'll make sure you can train properly now so you can get stronger." Chisato said. She went to him and put a hand on his chest. "It remains to be seen whether my measures were correct or not. I prevented you from seeing your friend again for more than 2 years."
Naruto looked into Chisato's green eyes. He couldn't believe that she was now apologizing. She had done it for him, like so many other things. She had helped him without anything in return and now she apologized to him.
"Ms. Hasegawa, you don't need to apologize." Naruto said. Chisato looked into his blue eyes. "I owe you so much. Without you I would have died that day and would not be alive anymore. At that time, I might have wanted to die, but it was only thanks to you that I was able to learn how to live properly again. I would have been lost without your help." Naruto said.
Chisato remained silent for a moment and then closed her eyes and took her hand off his chest. She took a step back and opened her eyes. "Then I will not bring up this subject again. Nevertheless, I will now offer you the opportunity to train to become stronger. You have many opponents that you could not defeat at the moment. Jin agreed to my request and will be your training partner for the next 2 weeks." Chisato said.
"Wait a minute… 2 weeks? How is this supposed to work? I have to be home tonight." Naruto said. He couldn't understand how this would work.
A green aura surrounded Chisato's body and Naruto's eyes widened. The power that Chisato was radiating at the moment was hard to believe. He knew, of course, that she was stronger than anyone Naruto had met before. But this power was simply indescribable!
Her hair turned gold and her eyes shimmered green. "I will transport you and Jin to another dimension where time stands still. That means you can train there as long as you want and, in this world, not a single second would pass." Chisato said.
"W-wow... thank you." Naruto said. Of course, he knew that certain barriers could eat up time a little, but not so drastically. So Chisato Hasegawa could control the time.
Jin stood up and brushed himself off. "So... shall we start slowly?" Jin asked with a grin.
A green magic circle appeared beneath Naruto and Jin before both simply disappeared. Chisato's hair turned black again and her green aura disappeared. She looked at her empty apartment and then went into the bedroom.
She was just able to unleash her full power because she had lifted her limitation. She couldn't do it often and only when the conditions were met could she do it. With Naruto, she could completely release her limitation and thus no longer be restricted, but that would mean that she would have to reveal something. She didn't want to confront Naruto on the subject just yet.
First of all, Naruto would have to get stronger and that would happen now. Her own apartment was in another dimension now and that's why time stood still here. She could still do everything normally, but for the next 2 weeks she would only monitor and observe the training sessions. She didn't want Jin to kill Naruto during training. He wasn't the strongest hero for nothing.
Naruto opened his eyes and looked around. He was in a forest at the moment. He narrowed his eyes as suddenly an arc of green energy flew towards him. He disappeared, dodging the arc of green energy just in time. He appeared on a log and heard the clapping.
"Very good." Jin said, emerging from the shade of a tree. He smiled and had a cigarette between his lips.
"Your reflexes really are as good as they should be for a nekoshō." Jin said.
Naruto jumped off the branch and landed in a crouch. "So, you want to fight me first?" Naruto asked.
"I want to see for myself how far along you are. I'm supposed to get you up and running in 2 weeks." Jin said. "A small fight shows me directly how far you are and where we have to work, especially at the beginning."
Naruto just nodded and his two cat ears/tails appeared immediately. He also got black slits. "As you wish." Naruto said.
Jin took the cigarette from his lips and flicked it away once. A green aura appeared around Jin and a white one around Naruto. Jin grinned slightly, "Good, you're using all your power right away." Jin got serious and his aura got even stronger.
The ground started shaking from Jin's power. Naruto narrowed his eyes and his blue eyes turned blood red. Jin smirked as he watched the whisker marks change slightly, Naruto's canine teeth lengthened, and his fingernails began to resemble claws.
'That he can directly use his Sacred Gear. He's only had it since today and hadn't a chance to test it yet.' thought Jin.
The white aura around Naruto increased even more as he started using his Sacred Gear. (A/N When Naruto uses his Sacred Gear, then he has all characteristics he had in his Sacred Gear. Blood red eyes, more feral looking whisker marks and other things.)
Both disappeared and appeared right in front of each other. The fists of the two met and a shock wave was triggered. Naruto couldn't believe how strong Jin was. Now he was even stronger than in the fight against Takigawa, because he was now using Kurama's chakra a bit. Not in large amounts, of course, but it made him stronger anyway. He also used Tōki right from the start, and yet his arm felt like it was about to shatter from Jin's single punch. The guy was really a monster.
Chisato looked at everything on a screen and just hoped that Jin would hold back a bit. Naruto would have to train a lot to get strong enough. Just controlling the Sacred Gear would take some time, but Naruto and Jin were now in the area that created her.
Naruto walked the streets of Tokyo and cracked his neck once. He had trained hard for 2 weeks and was completely defeated by Jin more than once. He became much stronger and now he could also use the normal abilities of his Sacred Gears. He still couldn't use his Balance Breaker, but that didn't really matter. He had improved his mastery of senjutsu and now he could use Tōki without any problems. He had better control over nature itself, and now he could create and control wooden dragons without losing all of his power in the process. He had spent most of his training mastering his Sacred Gear and his mastery of Senjutsu. Of course, he got stronger and faster in general.
It had been a liberating feeling to train properly again and with someone else. Jin had rather helped Naruto, but he also took the chance and trained himself. Just because he was the strongest hero didn't mean he wouldn't keep getting stronger. He was still training to become stronger and also to remain the strongest hero.
There were enough heroes who wanted this title for themselves. But so far, not a single hero came even close to Jin's strength.
'I hope everything will be fine tonight. If all goes well, then the curse wouldn't even activate. We know what Mio has to do. All she has to do is kiss the back of my hand, when the pact is sealed, the curse would not even take effect.' thought Naruto.
He stopped when all the people around him disappeared. He frowned as another barrier was erected around him. 'Can I have some rest?' thought Naruto. Why did some supernatural being having to confront him again? He was probably rested, having slept in the other dimension before coming out of the dimension again. Still, he just wanted to go home.
'Hmm?' Naruto looked in a certain direction where 2 different signatures could be felt. He would have thought that the beings would attack him but like back with Mio and the fallen angel, Naruto seemed to have been drawn into this just by accident. He narrowed his eyes as he recognized the auras of both beings.
'A devil and a yōkai?' thought Naruto. He had only felt this aura once before when he was in Kyoto. However, the yōkai's aura was that of a kyūbi from this world.
The aura of the kyūbi was still weak, even though a kyūbi was one of the strongest yōkai ever. A kyūbi was a daiyōkai, which represented the highest class of yōkai. He wondered why a kyūbi was so weak. Even a fallen angel with 4 wings could kill this kyūbi.
'Do you think the same as me Kurama?'
"Yes… something is wrong there. Normally I don't care about beings from this world, but I would like to see other Kyūbi. I find it insulting that this Kyūbi is so weak."
'Yes… something isn't normal. It could still be a child.' thought Naruto.
He stormed off and would take a look at what was going on there. After all, there would be trouble if a kyūbi died in Tokyo. That would definitely alert all the yōkai from Kyoto and Kanto and everyone would wonder what happened. A lot of yōkai would come here to Tokyo and that would cause Naruto even more problems.
He emerged a few seconds later in a park on a branch and perched on it. He hid his aura momentarily as usual with senjutsu and that's why no one could sense him.
"It took a really long time to find you." said the devil with a grin. "Now we will have leverage for your mother and after that your mother will have no choice but to join the Demon Lord faction and help us fight the moderate faction." The devil had black eyes and shoulder-length white hair. He held a scythe in his right hand. He wore black armor decorated with several skulls. A black aura was momentarily pulsing around him.
"I won't go with you!"
The devil laughed and fell to the ground. He currently flew with his two bat-like wings. When he hit the ground, both wings disappeared, and he looked unperturbed at the blue flame in the kyūbi's hand.
"You are still a child and have no strength." said the devil. "You may be a Kyūbi, but you're still just a little kid and it's going to be a few more years before you become a threat. So, Princess Kunō. Wouldn't you rather just surrender? I would hate to hurt you. It would only upset your mother and make negotiations with her more difficult."
Kunō gritted her teeth and took a step back. Kunō was a young girl with the appearance of an elementary school student. She had golden, blonde hair tied in a ponytail and matching eyes. She also had nine golden fox tails and matching ears. Her main attire was the traditional miko outfit and tall geta with white tabi. The sleeves of her haori featured a giant red star-shaped pentagram, surrounded by five smaller pentagrams in between the points.
She was separated from her escort by an event and now Kunō was on the run from this devil. She knew the devil's name was Nebra. So far, she had been able to remain undercover, but she hadn't been able to get back to her mother. Her mother was the leader of the yōkai in Kyoto. But Nebra had always prevented her from going back to Kyoto. She was being steered further and further away from her mother and now she had arrived in Tokyo. She had hardly any strength left in her legs. She had been on the run for a few days now.
Nebra slowly went towards Kunō but stopped suddenly. He narrowed his eyes as someone new appeared right in front of Kunō. Kunō gave a start and looked at the back of a man with golden blond hair similar to her own. Although the hair of the man in front of her was a little bit different.
"Who are you?" Nebra asked, eyes narrowed. He pointed his scythe in the direction of the man and stood ready. He couldn't feel any aura from him and that immediately alarmed him.
"My name is not important. I'll give you a chance: go and live or stay here and die." Naruto said. He had heard enough about this Nebra. Now he knew again where he had seen this girl before. Last year his class went on a school trip to Kyoto, and he had seen Kunō and her mother there. Although he may thus reveal himself to Kunō, he simply could not see how she would be kidnapped. She didn't do anything about that. The girl wanted nothing but to live peacefully with her mother, and the yōkai in Kyoto were very peaceful. They lived peacefully with the people and did not harm anyone.
Naruto looked over his shoulder once. "Stay behind me." Naruto said only once and then he looked back at Nebra. Kunō just stayed behind Naruto and looked past him at the devil that had been chasing her for a few days. She didn't even know why she trusted this stranger so easily. But something told her that she would be safe with him and that she could trust him. She feels an aura similar to her mothers in Naruto.
"You spit big tones for a dead man." Nebra said.
Naruto raised his finger and moved it in straight lines. Nebra's eyes widened as he saw several kanji characters appear in mid-air. 'Yōjutsu! He's a yōkai.' thought Nebra. He immediately swung his scythe, unleashing a strong gust of wind.
Naruto and Kunō just disappeared as Naruto activated his technique. The gust hit nothing, only blowing away some trees and rocks. Naruto carried Kunō on his back and looked at Nebra. After activating his illusion, he piggybacked Kunō and dodged the gust of wind. He was now 10 meters from his last position.
"Don't let go." Naruto said. He carefully let go of Kunō's legs and she just nodded. She clung tightly to his strong body and looked over his shoulder.
Naruto clapped his hands together and concentrated. Nebra looked around, about to cast a spell, but then he could feel the ground shaking. A few roots shot out of the ground, which wanted to tie him up. Nebra used his scythe and cut through all of the roots before they could tie him up. He jumped into the air and his eyes widened as suddenly a ring of golden flames flew through the air and headed towards him.
He raised his scythe, and as he did so, wind gathered around the scythe blade. He made a downward slash, unleashing a powerful wind blade in the process. Both techniques collide and an explosion was triggered.
Naruto narrowed his eyes as he felt someone new behind him. His blue eyes turned blood red, his canine teeth got longer, his whisker marks got more feral looking, and his fingernails got longer and sharper as well. He turned and crossed both arms in front of his body.
A fist struck both of his arms, sending off a cloud of dust. Nebra looked at the cloud of dust that was momentarily blocking the view of Naruto and his comrades. After a few seconds, the dust cloud disappeared and Nebra could see that his comrade Naruto couldn't kill.
Naruto hadn't moved even though his opponent hit him with all his might. Naruto's arms were surrounded by red chakra and Naruto's red eyes met his opponent's blue ones. He bared his teeth a bit and then Naruto pushed his opponent away. His opponent flew briefly through the air before something grabbed him.
Nebra couldn't believe what he was seeing. Naruto had his arm outstretched and as he did so, an arm of red chakra shot out. Naruto grabbed his opponent with his red chakra hand and held him in mid-air.
Kunō couldn't believe what she was feeling. She could feel the power of a kyūbi within Naruto. Naruto looked at Nebra "This is the result of your choice." Naruto said. He closed his fist and as a result his opponent was crushed by the hand of red chakra and a lot of blood splattered.
Nebra's eyes widened as he saw his comrade simply crushed by the hand of red chakra like it was nothing special. His comrade was a devil who had high physical power. Watching his comrade get crushed like a fly was just terrifying.
The arm of red chakra retreated back into Naruto's body and disappeared. Naruto looked at Nebra "I warned you. You wanted to challenge me like everyone else." Naruto said.
Naruto raised his right arm and as he did so, blue and red particles began to form into a small purple ball over his palm. Kunō could feel the raw power within that sphere. She looked somewhat fascinated at the sphere. She'd seen a man just a few seconds ago being squashed like a fly, spurting a lot of blood. But she didn't seem to mind. She didn't know exactly why she felt so safe with Naruto. He was a complete stranger to her and yet somehow, she knew that she could trust him.
Naruto's entire body was engulfed in red chakra and since Kunō was still holding onto Naruto, she was naturally engulfed in red chakra as well. She could feel it exactly, this tremendous power of the chakra. She had never felt such a strong chakra. It was so strong and yet warm.
Naruto just disappeared with Kunō and appeared right behind Nebra. His eyes widened when Naruto suddenly appeared behind him. He slammed his technique into Nebra's back, triggering a massive explosion. A crater formed, a shock wave emanated from the explosion, and much of the ground was destroyed. Naruto had only wrapped himself in his red chakra so that nothing would happen to Kunō.
A few seconds later Naruto appeared a few meters in front of the cloud of black smoke, holding Kunō's small legs again. The red chakra around him and Kunō slowly migrated back into Naruto's body, and in the process his traits of using his Sacred Gear disappeared. After a few seconds, he looked normal again and just looked at the black puff of smoke with Kunō.
'Even with my pre-training strength, I could have beaten those two without a problem. These two seemed more like cannon fodder. That such devils were entrusted with the task of pursuing Kunō seems somewhat suspicious.' thought Naruto.
Naruto crouched down and let go of Kunō. Kunō let go of Naruto and took 2 steps away from him. Naruto turned around "Are you alright?" Naruto asked. He was currently squatting in front of Kunō and could therefore look her straight in the eyes.
"Y-yes. Thanks for your help." said Kunō. She bowed them once, her fox ears wiggling a little as she did so. Naruto smiled "You are Yasaka's daughter, aren't you?" Naruto asked.
Kunō nodded, "Yes. I am Kunō, the daughter of Yasaka." Kunō said.
"How long have you been followed?" Naruto asked.
"4 days." said Kunō.
Naruto frowned. Why did these devils have to pursue a girl like Kunō and separate her from her mother. He hated guys like that, breaking up people's families.
"Can you reach your mother or someone else who could pick you up?" Naruto asked.
Kunō shook her head. "No. Unfortunately, I can't just call someone because I don't have my own mobile phone yet and therefore don't know anyone's numbers." said Kunō. So far, she hasn't needed one. She always had someone by her side doing something with her. This person was always in close contact with other people and Kunō never had to worry that something would happen.
She was gently raised by her mother and the other yōkai in Kyoto. After all, she would one day become the new leader of Kyoto when she was old and strong enough to replace her mother. At some point it would be her task to create a new Kyūbi and thus the eternal cycle would continue. But it would be many years before that happened.
"Alright. You must be tired; would you like to come with me first? Tomorrow we can see if we can take you to Kyoto." Naruto said. He just hoped he wouldn't get more attention than he already did. Traveling with Yasaka's daughter would draw quite a bit of attention.
Kunō smiled a little wearily and nodded. But before she could say anything else, her eyes rolled back, and she passed out. The exhaustion of the last 4 days was now noticeable. She hardly had a break because she had to escape all the time. She only slept an hour a night at times, otherwise she would have been caught by now.
Naruto picked her up and took one look at her. She seemed so fragile right now. He narrowed his eyes when he saw her face. He would make sure that Kunō would get back to Kyoto safely.
He was just about to get out of here before someone new showed up. His body tensed as he felt this strong aura. The barrier wasn't gone yet and that's why there weren't any people around Naruto and Kunō yet.
"I think I'm a little late." said a male voice.
Naruto carefully turned and looked at the person who had appeared out of nowhere inside the barrier.
"It looks like someone had already taken care of Nebra and Kramus." The person was definitely a yōkai, Naruto could tell that much .
"Who are you and what do you want?" Naruto asked. He still held Kunō securely in both arms and looked the yōkai straight in the eyes.
"Oh, where are my manners? Sorry." The yōkai gave a short funny laugh, and then he straightened up and bowed once dramatically.
"My name is Bikō, current Monkey King. I was commissioned by someone to bring little Kunō back to her mother." Bikō said. "But it looks like I shouldn't have come at all. After all, you have already saved the little princess."
"You are the descendant of Goku?" Naruto asked.
"Exactly." Bikō said with a grin. "However, I live as I please. I'm not tied to anyone, unlike the first generation." He shrugged nonchalantly, keeping his staff at his side.
"Do you have any proof that someone hired you to bring Kunō back?" Naruto asked.
Bikō tapped the ground once with his staff and after that a black magic circle appeared on the ground. Naruto narrowed his eyes as a hologram of Bikō and Yasaka suddenly appeared.
The hologram of both of them started to move. "Bikō, please bring my daughter back. I have no one to turn to but you. You are the only person I can trust with this task."
"I could use her myself if I had her." said Bikō.
Yasaka shook her head. "I know that you have teamed up with a certain devil. Still, you wouldn't use my little Kunō just like that. That would be beneath you." Yasaka said.
She looked out the window once, "The representative of the Demon Lord faction will be here any moment. Now go and get my daughter back." Yasaka said.
Bikō only bowed once and after that the hologram stopped moving. It disappeared again and after that the black magic circle on the ground also disappeared.
"Is this proof enough?" asked Bikō.
Naruto didn't say anything and didn't move for a few seconds. He sighed and walked toward Bikō. He didn't particularly like doing it, but it would be better that way. That way, Kunō would get back to her mother faster and Naruto wouldn't get any more attention. After all, he had enough to do with Zolgear and the hero clan. So, he would have to save himself an explanation why he would have Yasaka's daughter with him when he came home.
Naruto slowly lowered Kunō to the ground and then Naruto took a few steps back.
Bikō tapped the ground again with his staff and after that a portal opened behind him. "I thank myself. I'm really curious what the others will say about a yōkai here in Tokyo." Bikō said with a grin.
"So, you've already identified my aura?" Naruto asked, eyes narrowed. Bikō was strong, if not as strong as Takigawa. There's a good chance he could identify Naruto's aura. After all, he was also able to use Senjutsu. Naruto could feel that.
Bikō once laughed, "Of course. After all, I've been on a team with Kuroka long enough. Recognizing a nekoshō is not a problem for me," said Bikō.
Naruto sweated a little when he heard that. He really didn't hope that Bikō would tell Kuroka about his existence. He would prefer to avoid meeting Kuroka. It would only bring trouble.
"Anyway, I have other things to do. I'll say goodbye now, Naruto Uzumaki." Bikō said. Kunō's body began to levitate and after that she levitated through the portal behind Bikō.
Naruto just watched as Bikō disappeared through the portal as well and then he sighed. 'That went great again.'
"What did you expect? You're just stupid enough to get dragged into stuff like that."
'HEY! You agreed that I should go see what was going on there. I had no idea that Bikō showed up and then revealed that he knew Kuroka!' Naruto slowly walked away and frowned.
"You could have just disappeared. You were fast enough for that and could have just ignored the yōkai."
'Did you miss that the barrier was still active? I should have dissolved the barrier first!' He got to the end of the barrier and raised his hand. He also didn't understand why the barrier was still active. Normally the barrier should have been gone long ago because Nebra and his comrade were dead.
He concentrated for a moment and right after that the barrier around him broke and people appeared around Naruto again.
,However. Now I can finally go home.' thought Naruto. He started walking and had his peace the rest of the way. When he got home, he smiled lightly. He went into his garden and squatted in front of one of the bushes. The bush didn't look as good as it used to. It seemed a bit sick compared to all the other plants in Naruto's garden.
He held his hand in front of the bush and immediately afterwards the bush seemed to get stronger again. The leaves got more color again and he got some berries. Naruto smiled as he felt that pleasant sensation. It was always the same when he did that.
The sun seemed to be particularly strong on Naruto right now. It was always as if nature was thanking him. A pleasant warmth flowed through Naruto and a few leaves danced around him. Naruto grabbed a leaf from the air and walked around the house. The garden ran around the entire house. As Naruto rounded the corner and was now at the back, 4 cherry blossom trees revealed themselves. All had pink cherry blossom petals on their branches. Naruto stopped in front of the trees and looked up at the cherry blossom petals. He smiled slightly as he remembered something from his past.
He went to one of the trees and sat on the ground. He leaned against the tree with his back and held the leaf he had snatched out of the air in front of the house in front of his mouth. He took a breath and then a beautiful melody played.
Naruto had only learned this by accident, but he could create a beautiful melody with a leaf, just like Yukimaru. The nature around Naruto seemed to flourish as Naruto started playing the melody.
Mio was in her room with her window slightly open. She was doing something when she heard this tune. She lifted her head and looked out of the window. She looked out the window and saw nobody. Her window faced the front and so she saw nothing. She had never heard such a beautiful melody.
She went into the hallway and then down the stairs. She walked into the large living room and could see it from there. From the living room you could get into the garden via a patio door. She couldn't describe what she was feeling right now. It was similar to seeing a sunrise. These feelings, which arise in one, were simply not to be described.
She opened the door and went into the back garden and there she stood watching the spectacle. Naruto sat just under the cherry blossom tree and held a green leaf in front of his mouth. He created a beautiful melody and while doing so, some birds were sitting around him and even on his head. Several cherry blossoms flew around Naruto as if dancing to the tune. All the birds tilted their heads first to the right and then to the left. They all had their eyes closed and were enjoying the melody.
The flowers and other plants around Naruto seemed much more... alive. That's how Mio would describe it. As she walked into the garden, she felt a pleasant warmth there. It was an indescribable warmth that she had never felt before. That warmth wasn't the same when Naruto was near her. It was something completely different and yet it felt just as good. She couldn't help but dreamily watch Naruto create that melody .
Maria just came into the garden and stood next to Mio. She actually wanted to ask what was going on, but she couldn't say anything. No matter what she wanted to do, she just forgot. Just like Mio, she could feel everything. That sight was... magical. There was simply no other way to describe it.
As if Naruto would become one with nature and she would thank him. The animals, the dancing cherry blossom petals around him and the whole atmosphere was indescribable. As if Naruto were a musician of nature.
Naruto stopped 5 minutes later and opened his eyes. With the movement of his head, the birds that were previously sitting on Naruto's head flew away. The other birds did the same with the movement of the other birds. Naruto looked at Mio and Maria and smiled.
"Did you enjoy the show?" Naruto asked.
They both got a little startled and looked at Naruto in surprise. Naruto stood up and just walked past the two of them. He looked over his shoulder in amusement when he saw Mio and Maria's looks.
"Hey! Are you coming in or what?" Naruto asked. He laid down on the couch and out of nowhere held a book in his hand. He could hear the two coming back into the house and closing the door.
"What was that?" Mio asked. She stood next to the couch and looked at Naruto. Naruto tilted his arm slightly and looked at Mio. "Never seen someone make music with a leaf?" Naruto asked.
"No! Otherwise, I would hardly ask what that was." Mio said. She was still a little foggy from this special feeling just now.
Naruto swung his legs off the couch and was now in a sitting position. He closed the book and put it on the table and then pointed next to him.
Mio sat down next to him on the couch and then Naruto started talking. "I learned some time ago how to create this melody with a leaf. It's a bit complicated because you have to hold the leaf in a certain way so you can use a normal leaf like a flute."
"Whenever I play with the sheet, nature seems to be a little happy. I don't know exactly how it is. I guess because I have such a high mastery over senjutsu and maybe unknowingly strengthen the plants a bit." Naruto said.
"The flowers around you were definitely different than the rest." Mio said.
Naruto just smiled and shrugged. He looked at the clock "We still have some time until later." He looked at Mio "Would you like to do some training?" Naruto asked.
Mio nodded "Yes, please." Mio said with a smile. She could feel that warmth the whole time she was next to Naruto. She definitely didn't want to live without this warmth anymore. No matter what may happen. This warmth was her safe haven. She was safe at Naruto's side and here she felt… at home.
Naruto stood up, "Hey Maria. Mio and I are going downstairs and doing some more exercise. Do you want to come with us?" Naruto asked.
"Coming!" said Maria.
Yuki was wearing her school uniform as she sat in a coffee shop. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall and could see that it was exactly 6 PM. She turned her gaze to the table in front of her and could see the cup of coffee. She picked up the cup and slowly brought it to her mouth.
She took a sip and then put the cup back on the table. She looked towards the entrance because someone new was coming in there. Her reinforcements were supposed to arrive today, and she could now see exactly who her reinforcements were.
She would always recognize her sister. She smiled slightly when she saw her sister. It had been quite a while since she had seen her sister. The last time was in the village before she was sent to Tokyo to monitor the situation here. Especially since there were more and more incidents in Tokyo caused by supernatural beings.
"Sister!" said Kurumi. She ran to Yuki's table and smiled. Kurumi was a petite young girl who was surprisingly developed for her age with blue-violet hair tied up in a ponytail most of the time using a white scrunchy and yellow eyes just like her older sister. She wore a standard school uniform, which consisted of black shoes, white knee socks, black plated short skirt, white long-sleeved shirt and over that a beige vest and a black blazer, finished with a red neck ribbon tie. This wasn't the school uniform of the Hijigazaka High School, but it was just a uniform for public. It was planned, that she would go to the same school as Yuki at some point, but right now Kurumi wore this outfit.
"Kurumi, are you alone?" Yuki asked. She got up and hugged her little sister. She was happy to see her little sister again. It was good to have someone close to her again after all the recent events. Someone kept going through her head and she could hardly get any rest.
Kurumi shook her head. "No. Takashi and Celis have also come as reinforcements. Those two are just checking out the situation." Kurumi said.
"They aren't getting active or?" Yuki asked.
"Celis definitely not. But as for Takashi, I don't know. I can only hope he listens to orders from the elders. Celis is in charge." Kurumi explained.
"Okay." Yuki said. Kurumi and Yuki sat down at the table and Kurumi ordered a cup of tea.
"How are you, sister?" Kurumi asked. She could see right away that something was on Yuki's mind.
"I'm doing well. I just have a few things going through my head." Yuki said. She took a sip of her coffee and then put the cup back on the table.
"Is it because of that Naruto?" Kurumi asked, eyes narrowed. Before she arrived here, she had also looked around and especially at Naruto Uzumaki. He was strong and full of mysteries. According to her big sister's account, it was not known what Naruto was. He could definitely create barriers around his house.
Kurumi could see that much. She was not familiar with a weapon like the usual heroes. She was more of a magician. She mastered different elements and used them to defend or attack.
Yuki's eyes widened and she looked at Kurumi. "I thought so. You know more than you let on, don't you?" Kurumi asked.
Before Yuki could answer, both eyes widened. They both felt it. A strong aura was felt throughout the city. They both got up straight away and ran out of the coffee. They both just disappeared when nobody saw them anymore.
When they both arrived at the park, they met Celis and Takashi. "Celis! Takashi!" Kurumi shouted.
Both stood side by side and looked at a certain spot. Just a second before Celis got here, the strong aura disappeared again, leaving no sign of who this being was. None of the 4 heroes could exactly sense what kind of being exuded such a strong aura.
Naruto was in a handstand and had his eyes closed until he opened his eyes. He heard a deep and menacing growl in his mind. It wasn't from Kurama. He fell forward and stood up.
He narrowed his eyes and looked up at the basement ceiling. 'Did you hear that too, Kurama?' thought Naruto.
"Yes. It sounded like a growl."
,Yes. What can that mean?'
"A new threat has emerged. I could feel a strong aura for a brief moment."
Naruto looked at Mio and Maria who were training at the other end of the training hall. The 3 would not train for a long time because the night was slowly beginning, and the full moon was getting closer and closer. He just hoped nothing would happen in the ritual. He smiled as Mio and Maria looked at him and laughed.
