(OPENING 3: Sign by Flow from Naruto Shippuden)

Volume 6: Chapter 28: The Eye of the Storm! Siege in Konoha!

Previously in DKR:

Yugi's fight against Aizen leads him into the Illusionary World of Zettai no Kyoka Suigetsu. With Aizen's Bankai, all that he imagines are reality. From turning buildings into monsters, creating fake versions of anyone he desired with their powers/abilities and using that and his Kido base attacks to overpower Yugi while being unable to move. Regardless, he nearly defeated the Dragon Knight… until the voice of the real Mew Ichigo reached Yugi through his heart and regained his spirits, exploding his power. With this strength, Yugi beat down Aizen with distraction and his new attack he learned through his memories; the Eternal Dragonaun Tengoku.

With that massive new attack, Yugi destroyed the Illusionary World and defeated Aizen… however, it wasn't. Aizen came back instantly, already regenerating the wounds he was inflicted and revealed that Hogyoku had finally acknowledged him through Yugi and Ichigo's power of love. Aizen, more confident than ever, began to drop theories about Yugi and Atem… but mainly that they may be connected to Sir Dragonaun. And the worst one was when Aizen revealed that the dead Darkness Emperor, Sufferess, wasn't going after his father but Yugi as a baby and the one who told him where his family were hiding was the Dark Lord. This revelation paralyzed Yugi as Aizen prepared to fight him and Darkus to get rid of obstacles but Kurosaki until he was stopped by Shadow Knight. The masked knight used his strange powers to suppress and even put the Hogyoku to sleep once more. Not given much choice now, Aizen and his forces retreat and Darkus soon follows when the Overlord demands to see him. Not given a choice, the Dark Lord Team Dragon Knight won, however, the day is not over and the final battles are about to begin. Will they overcome what comes next?

And now the conclusion... last left off:

A few minutes before the Dark Lord's retreat…

Shadow is still engaged against Zero, blasting away his fake creations while still trying to evade them. He's making no progress and the only means to settle things is going Super… if he has a moment to activate it if not for the jackal still throwing missiles or debris or anything to kill him.

''JUST STAY-'' Getting frustrated by Shadow's evasion, Zero begins yelling as he cups his hands to form a sphere of distorted energy. He'll just have to vaporized most of this city to put an end of-

''TARGET LOCK-ON.'' The jackal startles by the robotic voice announcing as he notices red laser dots all over him. ''DESTROY!'' He turns to see down below is Omega, already firing multiple missiles and rockets as well as machine gun fire. Zero quickly manifests a massive construct of wall pieces as a shield, tanking the missiles and weapons fire upon him.

''Hiya, Shadow.'' Shadow turns to see Rouge, waving her arm as she floats in the air with a smug smirk. He soon scoffs as he eyes her and then Omega, telling them. ''You two took your sweet time.''

''Ah, we missed you too.'' Rouge teases him while Omega tells Shadow firmly and straight forward. ''Shadow. Use your full power. Enemy is still dangerous.''

''My thoughts exactly.'' Smirking, Shadow proclaims before his body erupts in golden energy, transformed into Super Shadow. He yells out, releasing his massive surge of Chaos energy that trembles Zero before he's punched directly by the insanely faster Shadow. The impact sends him crashing through multiple buildings to Ed and Ryan's shock.

Zero shoots out from the last building, gasping as he's suddenly kick and kick and kick by Rouge's fast striking kicks before she launches him to Omega who grabs him by the face with his claws, squeezing him before thrusting him in the air and fires small torpedoes that launch up towards Shadow. Zero repels the torpedoes as he tries to create something until Super Shadow shouts. ''CHAOS CONTROL!''

Time freezes for all but Team Dark. Super Shadow dives down and performs a Homing Attack that slams him downward and throws him down to Omega who fires laser beams from his rotating guns, shooting him and then redirect him to Rouge who performs a powerful spinning drill kick, striking down upon the jackal before she kicks him back to Super Shadow who charges up his whole body in a red outline.

''CHAOS BL-'' As he prepares to unleash his strongest Chaos Blast; Super Shadow's body glows and the Chaos Emeralds fly out of him as he reverts back to base. Shadow has a shocking expression as does Rouge, fearing this would happen and worst, he feels badly drained.

''This is what you refer to as bad.'' Omega proclaims, shooting down at Zero fast. However, time resumes as Zero turns and dissolves the bullets with the Phantom Ruby as he comes at the shocked Shadow, still in the air.

"I HAVE YOU-'' The enraged jackal yells out, preparing to manifest blades to throw them at Shadow until his body is suddenly a pair of robotic arms grabs onto him.

''Oh ho-ho-ho!'' Eggman laughs as he looks at Shadow. ''I'm not doing this to save you, Shadow. Next time, you'll see!'' He laughs as he's swallowed by Dark General Knight's power, teleporting him away along with Zero.

Shadow is still shocked as he lands on the ground, confused by the doctor's actions.


Meanwhile, Mew Blackberry breathes weakly as her body is starting to slow down. What's worse is if she does beat the three before her; she'll still have to deal with the other Mew Mews and their comrades. Not to mention the Dragon Knight to deal with and the boy has grown even stronger than she expected. She doesn't have much choice but to retreat.

''Damn mortals…'' Mew Blackberry curses out as she thrusts her spear downward and releases a burst of dark energy, consuming her in an explosion. Sasuke guards both Selvaria and Metal with his Susanoo hands. As the explosion cleared up, the evil Mew Mew was gone.

Sasuke scoffs as the three are beginning to disappear by the dark general's power. He turns to Naruto, glaring coldly as he proclaims. ''Another time, Naruto.''

Naruto glares back as the three fade away.

''Selvaria.'' Alicia mutters sadden, not happy how this turned out but that just means she can reach out again… hopefully.

Evangeline grunts as she fades away along with the Arkham, still having her plans with Ichigo but another time. She giggles, looking forward to that moment.

Mew Ichigo looks around, sighing of relief with all the Hollows gone too. She places her right hand on her chest, uttering out completely drained. ''Guess that's over Nya…'' Her eyes stare at Yugi, looking concerned and she can't blame him after all those fire-after-fire truths hit onto him. She would be the same.

Yugi frowns, looking at his Millennium Puzzle and then the Dragon Sword. He's Atem reincarnation but also Sir Dragonaun's? That overwhelmed him but also that the Dark Lord was indeed part of the death of his parents. It's driving his mind insane with all he learned and all the questions yet unanswered.

He looks at Shadow Knight, hesitate to ask him if maybe-

''My opinion doesn't change to what you already know: Sosuke Aizen-kun told you the truth.'' Yugi was startled by Shadow Knight's words, not even looking at him. ''But do not let it get to you. You are you, you will overcome this.''

He now faces the young boy, advising him. ''For now, don't let those thoughts get to you. That is a problem you will deal with yourself, Atem and against the Dark Lord another time.''

Yugi narrows his eyes, upset but he's correct; he has to deal with this another time. ''… Right.''

Shadow Knight nods as he tells him. ''For now, Konoha is a concern.''

The star-headed young man looks back at him puzzled just as Naruto leaps in front of them, questioning the masked man madly. ''What are you talking about?!''

Shadow Knight looks at him and then turns his sight to Mustang, panting as he arrives. He checked on Hawkeye and Havoc, both recovering but unhappy how the plan backfired.

''The reason why no one in Konoha arrived to assist in your suicidal plan, Colonel Mustang-kun, was because as we speak; Konoha has been destroyed by the Akatsuki leader.'' The masked knight informs the alchemist, shocking not just him but everyone else gathering up.

''W-what the hell did you just-'' With an expression of complete horror, Naruto begins to question him if it's Pain but instead; Shadow Knight faces him and orders him. ''Summon Fukasaku now.''

This shocks Naruto again, changing subjects in surprise. ''How the hell do you know about gramps?''

''…'' Shadow Knight silently stares at him, not planning to give him an answer as he knows what he must do. Sighing, Naruto bites down on his right thumb and forms a few hand seals.

''SUMMONING TECHNIQUE!'' Squatting down and slamming his bitten hand on the ground, Naruto shouts as an explosion of smoke covers that spot. It disappears, revealing a small green toad with white eyebrows, thin top hair and a white bread. Ruby half-opens her mouth as Ed remembers that frog when Naruto used the Reverse Summoning when they were trapped in Gluttony's stomach.

''Ah Naruto-boy, you came back I see.'' Fukasaku proclaims, relieved to see him well. He then notices the others, looking at him as he smiles. ''Aw, hello! You must be Naruto-boy's friends.''

''Y-yea.'' Jonouchi and Honda utters in complete shock while Sailor Moon, depowered to Usagi, giggles by how oddly cute the old frog looks.

''Can you summon back the frog that remain in Konoha?'' Naruto asks the old toad sage who nods firmly. ''Of course.''

Pa performs the Reverse Summoning Technique but nothing happened to his uneasiness.

''Was something supposed to happen?'' Danny asks as the small toad nods with a frown. ''A Reverse Summoning should have worked… if the one I left behind was alive.''

This shocks the group, eyeing Shadow Knight that he's right.

''Naruto-boy, we need to get back to Konoha.'' Pa declares, fearing something is wrong. Naruto agrees though he suggests. ''I need to take a side trip back to Mount Myoboku to make new Shadow Clones.''

Fukasaku agrees as he ran out of Shadow Clones and he needs to resupply them in case there is danger in Konoha.

''Wait, Naru-'' Judai begins to call out to his friend to not go alone without backup but then the toad uses his own summoning and the two vanish.

''Well, a little late.'' Ryan comments with a small smile. Judai still frowns, fully aware that Naruto is not okay. He hasn't been okay with Jiraiya's death and now this. He's worried since he's pushing others away, blaming himself and he shouldn't. If he doesn't do something… Naruto will end up like he was.

''…'' Silent as he felt his friend's aura, Yugi also comes with the same conclusion but grimmer: Naruto wants revenge and wants to kill Pain. This isn't like him or rather not him, the future Hokage should be. Revenge… it brings no closure.

Making up his mind, Yugi begins walking to fly-

''Where are you going?'' Yugi startles as a blade is near his neck. It was Kojan, glaring irritated. The star-shaped head turns to face the Uchiha and tells him to wait. ''I'm going to help Naruto-kun. Pain is way too much and I can't let him-''

''Who said you could!'' Kojan yells furiously, sparks of electricity flying out from that Dragon Ryujin blade. He's played his part, followed his lead and now he's done. He only has 1 thing, 1 thing in mind and he's staring at it. ''You and I have a score to settle!''

Yugi grits his teeth as he yells at him, trying to reason with him. ''Kojan-kun, don't you care about Konoha being destroyed?! That's your home!''

Kojan narrows his eyes for a moment, thinking of that place before he looks back at him coldly, answering him with the same uncaring attitude. ''… It was never my home.'' That place has never become nothing more but a bad memory as he proclaims strongly. ''My only desire is to destroy Madara. Nothing else matters!''

Mew Plum frowns silently, feeling bad for him. She can tell he's in pain, getting to him and wishes she could help him.

''I've played my part and now you owe me our fight!'' Kojan reminds Yugi, not going to take a no or another favor. That Pain is not their problem.

''…'' Yugi looks at him in silence, glaring at Kojan. He means it; he cares nothing but to settle their fight. Does he really have no choice?

He looks at Shadow Knight who doesn't say a word and yet Yugi remembers words he told him during his training about when he would confront Kojan.

''If you wish to reach Kojan, to save him; then you must challenge his beliefs and his obsession.'' Shadow Knight's words of the past echo in Yugi's thoughts, reminding him that he has no choice. If he wants to reach his friend and show him how wrong Kojan is; this is his only choice.

''… Fine.'' Yugi finally answers, surprising Mew Ichigo who yelps in protest. ''Yugi-kun! You can't!''

The tricolor head looks at her and just smiles, knowing Naruto is going into a dangerous, life-changing fight but he has to leave it to him. He has to believe he can win. After all, that's his story. He snickers, almost forgetting that; everyone has a story and they're their own protagonist. He has no doubt in leaving this to his hands.

''I believe in Naruto-kun. He'll beat Pain and save Konoha. I know he can.'' Yugi answers her, believing in him like he would with everyone else. Mew Ichigo looks at him and sighs with a small smile; no point arguing with him. He's an idiot sometimes but he's never wrong about this stuff.

''Yugi-san, then let me and the others go and back our friend up!'' Judai then speaks up, wanting to go and help his friend. Yugi eyes him and nods. He can trust Judai and the others to-

''Not all of you.'' Shadow Knight suddenly interrupted, surprising the group but Kojan. ''Daniel-kun has to leave. Check the time.''

Danny pulls up his phone and is startled at the time. Right now it's night in his town but it'll slowly be the next day.

''Um, I actually do need to go. I have a huge exam tomorrow-'' He begins to tell the others of the test he has to- Danny suddenly looks at the knight puzzled, wondering how he knows that. Not even the others knew of this.

''I also only have a few Senzu Beans left.'' Shadow Knight then reveals, only having 3 left. He eyes the group as he splits one of the beams in half and proceeds to toss both pieces to Kurosaki and Alicia who catches them.

''You two will go with Judai-kun and Taichi-kun as well as Team RWBY.'' Shadow Knight commands them while surprising Ruby and her friends but they're not complaining as she wanted to go anyway and so did Blake.

''Us too?'' Usagi asks, wanting to help too. Shadow Knight eyes the rest of Team Dragon Knight who are drained or not necessarily for the mission. ''The rest are too drained and you all are more qualified to face Pain.''

Shadow gazes, going to argue on that logic but he's not in the best shape. Sonic is the same, snickering as he feels pretty beaten up.

''… As long as we can help Naruto, I'm fine.'' Judai responds, not caring as any help for him is good enough.

''Break a leg, friends!'' Ryan declares with a smile which causes everyone to sweat drop from that comment.

''Again, I didn't agree to-'' Weiss begins to protest until Shadow Knight proclaims. ''I'll teleport you all over there now.''

''W-WAIT JUST A-'' Weiss tries to protest only for Judai's group to be instantly swallowed by Shadow Knight's large shadow, vanishing them.

The others are awkwardly silent by what just happened. Ichigo really badly wants to ask if they're okay but first she turns to her cousin, not wanting her near this fight between Yugi and Kojan.

''… Cousin Usagi-chan, go home with the others.'' She asks of Usagi to leave, startling her but by just looking at Ichigo's eyes; she was serious about it. Ichigo then asks Ed for a favor. ''Edward, tell my parents I'm coming tonight.'' She knows that her parents are worried sick for her but she can't leave Yugi like this, not until this is all over. ''I… I need to stay with Yugi-kun for this.''

Ed is really taken back that Ichigo just called him by his full name and just sighs, can't say no to her request as he accepts. ''Got it.''

''Cousin Ichigo-chan.'' Usagi utters with concern, holding back any sobbing as she doesn't want to leave her like this. Ichigo notices that and just smiles, advising her. ''Your parents will Ground you MUCH harder than mine. And then less Mamo-chan time.''

''…'' Usagi is left silent with a paralyzed expression. This is why her cousin is so much smarter than her, nodding determinedly. ''Okay!''

''Good.'' Shadow Knight proclaims, summoning new shadows that overlap around Ed, Danny, Usagi and her friends, Sonic and the other Mew Mews except Mew Erika and Plum.

''HEY WAIT-'' Mew Mint tries shouting until the shadows consume them and they vanish along with the massive shadow. Ichigo, now freaking out, is about to ask if that worked but Jonouchi gets a ring from his phone, pulls it up and nods.

''Yea, your cousin is freaking out.'' Jonouchi informs her as another ring is heard and it's Mint, freaking out. ''Guess everyone is fine.''

Shadow with Team Dark and Haruto are curious why they were left

Shadow Knight nods as he proclaims. ''Let's take this elsewhere.''

''Wait, what about Karakura Town?'' Yugi asks, finding this wrong to leave this fake city while who knows where the real city is at. Shadow Knight isn't worried as he informs him. "Soul Society will fix this. Now, let's go.''

Before Yugi can ask if the others are safe, Shadow Knight's shadows around the group and they all vanish. Mustang watches as they disappear, puzzled by that man. It was him who told himself, Urahara and Kakashi of Darkus' return. Who is he? Why does he know so much? And what is his aim?


Commercial Break:


Returning all of his forces back to Equalord Enterprise, Akumu doesn't say a word as he's getting to his office with a frustrated expression. However, Evangeline stops him, questioning his motives. "Why did we retreat?''

Akumu looks at her, growling as he just tells her. ''I'll explain later.'' He walks past her.

Evangeline glares, turning around irritated as she follows him. However, as they reached the meeting room, someone was waiting for them.

''Oi, Dark Lord.'' Sitting back on a chair, laid back, with his feet on the table is Grimmjow, smirking excitedly. Akumu glares as does Evangeline while Dark General Knight manifests, annoyed to see him. ''The Espada.''

''Former Espada.'' The prideful Arrancar admits, pretty sure he's out of Aizen's club but he was ultimately done with it as he desired power that Aizen will never give him but his competition will. He gets off the chair as he explains with a smug grin as he clenches his right fist tightly, trembling it. ''I'm taking your boss' offer. I want power that surpasses Ulquiorra and crushes Kurosaki!''

''…'' Akumu looks at him, not expressing anything before he ultimately says, walking towards the doors of his office. ''Wait outside.''

Grimmjow makes a face as the Dark Lord pushes the doors open and as he enters, they close on their own and lock just before Evangeline marches right after him.

''I wasn't done with you! Akumu!'' She yells out, both mad and yet concerned for him. This is not like him to lock himself up, grunting at this strange behavior. She turns to the dark general, just staring at him firmly with her arms crossed as she wants answers. The dark knight bows as he explains to her. ''His father needed to speak to my lord.''

This surprises the vampire mage, uttering puzzled. ''His… father?'' Even Grimmjow, sitting back down on the chair, damn surprised that dragon even had a father.

''King Darkness. God of Darkness and the Great Overlord Dragon.'' Dark General Knight reveals to her as Evangeline widens her eyes. There's been this rumor, a myth, of the origin of the world. It was said to be created by a big bang or a God but it was both. Two gods, one of light referred to as the Goddess of Creation, and the one of dark, the God of Darkness; both created the very existence they now live on. This is, of course, never proven and simply a myth… but it sure shocked Evangeline that Akumu- Darkus' father's name is the same as the myth.

''My…'' The confident mage utters, going to need a moment. Now she's curious if that's the same being of the myth or if the myth is possibly true. However, her train of thought is interrupted by grunting.

Zero is released by the giant arms as he looks at those teleported, growling to see Metal Sonic who ignores him and walks past him to his master, saluting him.

''Good work Metal.'' Eggman praises him with a smile. ''Next time, Sonic won't see it coming.''

''You're Robotnik!'' The genius looks at the jackal, alarmed to see it was him who caught him. Eggman adjusts his goggles as he says, recognizing him even with the rags and his scarred eye. ''And you are part of that squad of that annoying princess.''

Zero lowers his head, narrowing his eyes before answering him. ''… Was. I am…'' He begins to have aggressive flashbacks of Eclipse killing his friends before his very eyes and mocking him heavily before he snaps out. ''All that remains of them.''

Eggman hums, aware of the events that happened in Mobius. To think that Black Doom had another child in case he was killed. He can only imagine how furious Shadow of all people was.

''I heard of that. Shadow, the Black Aliens again and their new leader.'' He tells him as he quickly assumes why he's even here and attacks the black hedgehog. ''So, it's revenge you want?''

Zero looks at him with such coldness and disdain. That's all that matters to him. Eggman scoffs, getting him as he responds. ''Heavy stuff to admit it but maybe this benefits us both.'' He points at the Phantom Ruby dangling on his chest. ''That gem you have is the Phantom Ruby. Limitless power, same force of power like the Chaos Emeralds. I used it long ago but lost it.'' As he recalls his defeat by Sonic, again.

''It has given me power.'' The jackal tells him, not going to hand this power over.

''Oh I saw in detail.'' Eggman comments with a smirk. He has never been able to use the ruby at its full potential, not even his robots could harness its power. The closest was Metal Sonic but he struggled and damaged his systems too. But from what he saw, this jackal was capable of using more of the ruby's energy. Still rusty but he was indeed impressed.

''But I can improve your control of the gem.'' He begins to offer Zero a chance to use the gem's true power. ''What do you say? With my genius, your power with the gem will be infinity!''

''… Infinite… huh?'' Zero utters, drawn by that last word as he eyes the Phantom Ruby. He looks back at the doctor and questions his motives. ''And you want to rule Mobius then using my ruby?''

Eggman smirks, nodding as he does. Zero soon scoffs and answers him. ''Have that world. As long as I achieve my revenge, I don't care.'' As long as he can slay that alien and that damn black hedgehog, to be the strongest… then that's all that matters.

Alone in his office, sitting on his throne chair, Akumu breathes and relaxes as opens his eyes and finds himself in an endless space-like dimension. And floating in front of him is the dark armored dragon man, gazing upon him.

''What do you want, Overlord? What is this about Sufferess? He's dead.'' Akumu tells him irritated by this private chat when he could have killed Aizen or Kojan.

''Death is hardly what to call his condition.'' The Overlord reminds his child with his arms crossed. Akumu narrows his glare, aware of what he meant and he thought they had more time, replying. ''Then you're certain of his return.''

The dark king nods firmly, feeling his essence, like a spark, slowly creeping out from the corner of the pitch darkness, his darkness. It was small but it was enough to become cautious.

''I have felt a disruption. Someone is doing something they shouldn't and involving what could be your brother.'' The Overlord informs him firmly which Akumu scoffs, sadly clearing one specific person of this. ''It's not Aizen. He knows better than to-''

His train of thought is interrupted, thinking back. Other than Orochimaru, who isn't that stupid to involve himself with him or the fake Madara; there was that child, the one who worked with Black Moon and the Quantum Cube. Akumu narrows his gaze, enraged as he answers him. ''I know who. I've had problems with a squirt. It must be him.''

The Overlord looks at him before answering him darkly. ''Deal with him swiftly. Our plans are jeopardized if he comes back sooner than expected.''

''I was just going to do so. I'll deal with my brat too, whichever is the easier approach.'' Akumu vows, also fixated in settling things with Yugi. He looks down, reflecting how Yugi defeated Aizen even with his Bankai. He's become stronger and Akumu can't help but grin as he'll crush that hope of his with his Chaos Form.

The Overlord looks at him and can't help but cackle, praising him. ''You did well, Darkus. Show your greatness and conquer this universe under my name.''

Akumu closes his eyes and reopens them, finding himself back in his office. He sighs, standing up his throne and walks out of his office. He eyes Evangeline, smiling as he leans up to her face and kisses her. Evangeline startles bright red as he walks up to the bored, seated Arrancar.

Akumu smirks evilly, sitting beside him. ''Grimmjow, was it?'' He asks, recalling the offer he gave him and welcomes him. ''Welcome aboard. I'll gladly make you stronger but go into details by why as strong as your former comrade?''

Grimmjow smirks as he responds. ''Why not tell you the whole damn thing. It might interest you.''

''I'm listening.'' The Dark Lord proclaims with a smug smirk, interested in what he will tell him.


Judai and the others only saw nothing but darkness for a second before they found themselves in some kind of wasteland with large smoke still around them. Weiss drops to her knees, really dazed as Ruby comments, also rather unease by this place. ''T-that was a little much…''

''You can say that-'' Yang begins to agree until she stops, looking around and startles heavily. The others soon notice this isn't a wasteland but see destroyed buildings behind them as if they were swept away by a tornado or twister.

''Where the hell are we?'' Kurosaki questions, not liking where they were. Alicia looks down at the ground as it resembles something hit here.

''We're like in some crater.'' Blake concludes, also studying their surroundings. Judai, however, widens his eyes as the smoke clears up and sees something familiar in the horizon.

''No…'' He tells the group, pointing up to reveal the Hokage monument. ''This is Konoha.''

Everyone is shocked but Taichi and Agumon, who have never been here anyway. Judai then feels dread, turning as he sees a silhouette in the dust, fading to reveal a man with black robes and red clouds. The others see him and become alarmed by his appearance.

''A spiky orange haired guy with strange purple ringed eyes.'' Alicia describes him in alarm with Judai becoming worried. ''That's who Yugi-san and Ichigo-chan fought.''

Kurosaki glares, squeezing the grip of Tensa Zangetsu as he proclaims. ''The Akatsuki Leader, Pain.''

Ruby gulps heavily, recalling from what Ichigo told them that this guy was that strong he beat Yugi. Sure it was a Yugi before his super uber upgrade but still!

''Why all the piercings?'' Taichi then asks, puzzled with Yang humming, also curious. Weiss just sweat drops, actually intimidated by Pain's presence as she says. ''I feel underpowered.'' Blake actually agrees with her. Well, unease if anything.

Pain had just reduced Konoha into nothing but rubber, including its citizens. He now knows where Naruto Uzumaki is and prepares to get to the toad's sacred mountain to capture him… until this new development appears before him.

''The Dragon Knight's comrades.'' Pain utters, studying these groups. The Death God, the Valkyria, the time traveler and the huntresses and her comrades. But also a child and a strange yellow creature. Other than them, it is hardly a threat to a God but his concern is one certain person.

''Then is he here or will he arrived?'' Pain then demands, referring to Yugi which Alicia speaks up firmly. ''Yugi sadly has other scores to settle.''

This disappoints Pain, wishing to settle things and show him pain. He'll have to do with disposing of his comrades as a message. But first…

"Then tell me where Naruto Uzumaki is. Is he still in that Mount-'' He now questions them on Naruto's location but before he could; a scream is heard, belonging to Sakura.

Suddenly, a large burst of white smoke erupts from behind the group while Judai smirks and points his right arm's thumb behind them.

''Nope, he's right here!'' He tells him as the others turn and startled as massive toads appear and on top of the more orange one is Naruto, fully charged up in Sage Mode with both toad sage elders on his shoulders. He looks around him, feeling many people in pain or dying and it enrages him. His home vanished from the face of the earth and the one behind this destruction right below him.

Naruto glares madly down at Pain who glares back before proclaiming as his Rinnegan pupil dilates with extreme focus. "You saved us the trouble of looking for you.''

To be continued

(ENDING 3: Mayonaka no Orchestra by Aqua Timez from Naruto Shippuden)


Next Time…

Naruto and the others arrive at the vastly destroyed Konoha and before them are the menacingly Six Paths of Pain. Enraged at the destruction and death of his home; Naruto plans to give no mercy for the man who killed Jiraiya. Will our group handle Pain, unaware of the boost he got in case he had to fight Team Dragon Knight?

Ruby: So I kinda wish Yugi and the others were here.

Kurosaki: Yea well I wish I was back home worrying about my sisters but here I am.

Alicia: Yugi trusts us to help Naruto out. We can't fail him.

Judai smirks: My thoughts exactly!

Taichi: … So guys, didn't know this Pain guy had siblings.

Judai: Y-yea, long story.

Naruto gets serious: Let's settle this, Pain! Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: Attack of the Akatsuki Part 5! The Battle of Pain!

Ruby: Oh I hope Naruto is well with a straight head. *realizes it's her turn* UM… Please remember to read, enjoy and review. See you all next time!


Author's Note: Small Team Dark team-up. Happy about that.

Boy, it is so strange that Shadow Knight knows a lot that he shouldn't and yet he does?

Now if Yugi went with Naruto to confront Pain… the fight would just be done. True Dragon Blade Mode Yugi would DESTROY the Paths of Pain, on his own, better than the first time with his false Burst Limit against the 70% clones. Can't have that as Naruto needs to become the hero of Konoha… So Kojan decided he was done being patient and threatened Yugi to fight him now. Some of you might question WTF but remember… Uchiha and Hatred. Kojan has his obsession to hunt down "Madara" and kill him but he can't if he doesn't have the power to beat him so he needs to become the actual true Dragon Knight by taking Yugi's sword by combat.

Prelude to Infinite. I think this is fine the way I handle that. Also, the chat between Akumu and the Dark Lord's father. Now he has to deal with Aigami too, hmm.

Again, many of you would say "Why can't Danny or Sonic or Usagi or the others come and help Naruto?" because the fight would be easier with their involvement. Can't have that.

So Naruto has Judai, Alicia, Kurosaki, Taichi and Ruby with Team RWBY backing him up against the Six Paths of Pain. Easy fight right- No, you'll see.

Next time, the big fight that changed Naruto. And no, I'll do the Yugi vs Kojan thing after Pain Invasion chapters.
