READING THE FOX SCROLL was taken down on June 24/2021(Thursday). I added a link to its new home on my wattpadd. I used the original docs (hence the Ans) but the format is a bit different due to the different site.
Emails are back again again. Hopefully they stay up but we can never be sure.
Emails are down again! Use the fanfic app for updates! And then check the PM inbox directly for PMs! It's the only way right now to keep up to date!
I am going to BOLD the 7 elements of Tyvet in this story. I am also bolding Nahida speech as she is talking through the portal which has an affect. Kinda like talking though a cellphone. It will go back to normal when the portal is shut off.
AN1: I will admit when I started this story I was abit hesitant to mention Tighnari due to the whole issue with his original English VA but since he was recast and has been accepted into the Genshin gamily I have decided to mention him in this chapter. Hence I avoided mentioning his role in the story. For the context of the story Tighnari was Collei mentor but couldn't directly help Collei with her Eleazar like in canon.
If there are girls you guys want you can suggest them after reading my harem list but if I strictly don't want to use them I won't.
I Collei is seemingly a few years younger than the main cast of Genshin (who all seem to be young adults besides outright child like characters like Diona, Klee, etc, but what do you guys think of Collei having a crush on Naruto and possibly being in love with him in the future?

Happy New Years everyone! My first update of 2025! Lets go!
Chapter 8 Naruto fights another Ancient God
Nahida hummed as she turned to the entrance making Cyno put his arm out in front of her protectively.
"My Lady? Is someone coming?" Cyno asked seriously as his eyes sparkled with purple Electro energy showing he was about to activate his Electro Vision but Nahida shook her hair.
"That won't be necessary Cyno. I appreciate it but she is no threat. She is a friend." Nahida stated as Cyno nodded and relaxed his stance as he stood behind his Goddess being her sworn protector.
It was a girl was in her mid teens with short wavy light green hair that reached her shoulders. Her purple eyes seemed to shine with an innocence of youth. She was mainly wearing a brown mini dress that reached her hips and a green shawl over her shoulders. She also wore a golden hairpin that was in the shape of a leaf. On her waist was a belt which hung herDendrovision proudly. She wore brown stockings on her legs of different lengths. The left stocking was just above her knee and the right stocking was just below the edge of her dress length leaving two patches of skin shown. She also wore brown boots and a yellow scarf on her back that went to her hips. AN2:
"Lady Nahida…. What exactly is big bro Naruto to you?" Collei asked as she walked in Zubayr Theater much to the surprise of the residents there.
"Collei? I thought you were still in Aaru village?" Nilou asked sweetly as Collei in return gave the taller and more mature girl a wide smile.
"Hmm I did stay there for awhile but I missed Big bro Naruto so I walked my way back. I am sorry I didn't send a letter or anything. I thought I might catch him if he came back and surprise him." Collei admitted as she rubbed her head nervously and swayed on her feet.
Cyno and Alhaitham shared a smirk making Collei turn to them with confusion.
"Is something funny? Is this one of Cyno jokes that he thinks is funny but nobody really thinks is funny. One of those puns that he just sprouts of nowhere?" Collei stated flatly before she blushed at her blunt outburst.
"Sorry I was just asking why you shared a look!" Collei amended as Cyno looked ready to pout despite his proud expression.
"Why? Don't you think my so-called puns are Eggs-xactly what is needed to lighten the mood?" Cyno asked expectantly looking around.
Nahida to her credit gave him a kind and gentle smile, Nilou put her hands up in surrender as she looked like a duck out of water being asked to judge, Alhaitham openly smirked and shook his head while Collei gave him a look so flat Cyno thought he could place a table on it and it would stay on her face perfectly.
"Hmph… I need to find better jokes huh?" Cyno mumbled as he crossed his arms.
"It's alright Collei. You just missed Naruto. He teleported back to Liyue as I think there was another disaster there. I swear despite us treating Naruto as the most 'Sumeran' as person from Sumera can be Naruto is someone this entire world needs." Alhaitham noted with a sigh but a hint of a smile as Collei smiled.
"That sounds like Big Bro. He has always been someone who wants to help everyone although I guess I have only known him a few years like everyone else." Collei stated fondly before she rubbed her head in embarrassment.
'I shouldn't act all high and mighty like I know Big Bro Naruto best. He is just the person I have known most besides Amber who I haven't seen in awhile besides occasional letters and Tighnari who is always so busy even when I don't have Eleazar anymore.' Collei thought nervously.
Nahida giggled as she placed a hand on Collei shoulder getting the younger girl to look up at her Archon with bright eyes.
"It's alright Collei. We understand why you idolize and respect Naruto so much. He was the one who cured your Eleazar after all even before it was purged from Teyvat completely." Nahida told Collei gently who swayed but smiled.
Collei always thought it was a miracle or rather Naruto himself was the man who could create miracles.
Alhaitham looked between Nilou and Collei before a smirk appeared on his face making Cyno sigh.
'I have a feeling Alhaitham is going to tease them again. Naruto is probably a bad influence on him but it is probably better then how arrogant he was to everyone before.' Cyno thought sighing deeply.
"Collei. Are you sure the reason you respect Naruto so much is not because you are in love with him? You might be abit too young for him now but I know Naruto is willing to wait however long it takes for the people who love him to be ready." Alhaitham asked seriously but Nahida could sense the amusement hidden on his face.
Collei face instantly turned scarlet as steam appeared to be coming out of her ears. She placed her hands on her cheeks and shook her head in denial.
"I don't love Naruto… I mean I love Naruto but not love love him! I love him in the sense he is the most important person to me but that doesn't mean romantic love! I couldn't see my life without him in it anymore but that what anyone who loves someone feels right?" Collei squeaked as she started to pace back and forth while fanning her face to no avail.
Nilou grit her teeth and then grabbed Alhaitham by his shoulders to start shaking him with a furious glare.
"Care Miss Nilou. You wouldn't want to ruin your near perfect reputation although I suppose that kind personality is part of the reason you have so many fans. Not that anyone can get too handsy as Cyno is almost as protective of you as he is of Lady Nahida." Alhaitham teased while Cyno merely raised an eyebrow but didn't deny it.
It was well known that whenever Nilou had signing or photo op Cyno or Naruto was always close around. No matter how fanatical or obsessed her male fans got none of them got close enough to get touchy feely with the beautiful red head. Cyno and Naruto not so subtle warnings usually gave quite the clear message.
"Are you jealous that you don't have anyone like that who would protect you if you were threatened Alhaitham? It wasn't exactly nice of Lord Naruto when he flicked an older man out the building when he tried to grab my wrist to kiss my hand without permission." Nilou stated calmly but her smile showed despite her disapproval she was rather touched by Naruto's concern.
"Tch that creep got off easy. I was just about to smack him around with the back of my spear if Lord Naruto did not get to him first. The rules are clear that Nilou is to be cherished by Sumeru but her heart and body are hers to give to her who she wants." Cyno noted darkly as Collei had a nervous smile while Nahida gave a nod of approval.
Once Nilou's fond smile ended she went back to glaring at the smirking and amused Alhaitham.
"You know a lot of your fans would pay a great deal to be held by you albeit maybe not all of them would like their 'precious Angel Nilou' showing violence like this." Alhaitham noted with a smirk as Nilou continued to shake him with his head constantly shifting side to side.
"Shut your mouth! You annoy me so much I want to wrangle your neck! I don't understand why Lord Naruto and Lady Nahida allow you to keep your position and actually take your suggestions seriously!" Nilou shouted as she continued to shake Alhaitham who continued to smirk.
"Nilou…. Alhaitham…. Please get along. I do not like when you fight." Nahida sighed placing a hand over her forehead as she closed her eyes in frustration.
Collei was blushing too much to try to stop Nilou and Alhaitham seemingly at Alhaitham suggestion she was in love with Naruto.
"Stop that infuriating smirk! It annoys me so much! Why are you even acting so superior anyways? I am not the one who is living with a roommate who you calim to dislike but you never make any attempt to kick out!" Nilou snapped smirking when Alhaitham looked flustered for a moment.
"You mean Kaveh? I will have you know the arrangement is purely pragmatic and rational. It has nthing to do with whether I want him there or not." Alhaitham insisted before smirking at the redhead.
"Although if my guess as the Scribe is correct YOU Miss Nilou are the one who wants a roommate. Perhaps a certain blonde haired warrior with what I can only assume for women 'cute' whisker markings?" Alhaitham suggested with a wiggle of his eyebrows.
"Alhaitham!" Nilou squealed as she stopped shaking the taller man for a moment as her cheeks had a cute red flush as she swayed nervously with her hands behind her back. This would have made her fans faint with pleasure at how cute she was looking but luckily the group here was some of Nilou closest friends including Alhaitham not that either would declare themselves friends.
Nilou still with flustered cheeks went back to shaking Alhaitham by the shoulders when he gave a chuckle and had his normal smirk on his face.
"Hmmm… You seem to close as siblings. Perhaps you should make it official?" Cyno commented with a look of contemplation.
Nilou stopped shaking Alhaitham as her and Alhaitham looked over at Cyno with furious expressions. They dashed forward till they were about a foot away from the shorter man.
"What?! We are not siblings! How could you say something so stupid Cyno!" Nilou and Alhaitham shouted in unison as Cyno looked away with a pout and his hands in front of him in surrender.
"Sheesh I was just saying what I thought Tighnari would say. He once joked that him and I are family so I assumed he would make the same joke with your too." Cyno defended himself as Nilou and Alhaitham le out deep breaths before calming down.
"Hehe I could see Master Tighnari saying that. He wishes that he could come here in person as well but he is still busy in the forest being the Main Forest Ranger." Collei admitted having calmed down as well.
"Hehe this is nice. I like when everyone can get along after venting. Humans are always so fascinating. I believe that humanity has the capacity to express themselves much more then Archons or rather beings that have long life species like the Adepti." Nahida noted with hum of interest.
Nahida blushed when Alhaitham, Nilou, Collei and Cyno bowed to the Archon.
"I keep telling you not to bow to me. Its embarrassing enough when Naruto does it no matter how many times, I tell him it is not needed. I can see why this frustrates him so much." Nahida mumbled with a pout before shaking her head.
"My lady is Naruto alright? He went back to Liyue right? So does that mean something in threatening them again?" Nilou asked gently but with a worried and concerned look in her eyes.
Nahida smiled as she raised her hand with a green glow that surrounded Alhaitham, Nilou, Collei and Cyno making them blink. Nilpou own eyes were green with power.
"Let me show you. Irminsul can show current events anywhere in Teyvet. Even though it will not record Naruto being a Descender we can observe his progress from above almost like we are watching a video from the clouds." Nahida revealed showing she shared information about Irminsul and Descenders to her close friends and confidants. AN3:
"Please show us my Lady. Lord Naruto is important to us. Even if he is in Liyue right now saving that country does not mean Sumeru does not support his actions. He is the embodiment of everything that is good about Sumeru of today." Cyno told her with full confidence mirrored by the group making Nahida smile.
"Alright. Remember we are just watching. I will need to make a new connection with Naruto to talk to him. For now, let us observe and nothing else." Nahida stated as the glow in her eyes and in front of her hand glowed brighter.
Meanwhile In Liyue
The crowd in Liyue heard an inhumane roar as they all looked into the distance.
"Waah! What is that?!" Paimon screamed as she buried herself into Lumine's chest who looked serious.
"Is that Osial the Ancient Sea God? No… This feels different and I know Naruto destroyed him before…" Lumine noted with narrowed eyes.
"That's right… That figure… It must be Beisht. It seems she has come for revenge." Ganyu noted as she heard leapt forward with her bow summoned in hand.
"Beisht? Isn't that the Ancient God who was rumoured to be married to Osial?" Keqing asked having only heard of the Beisht due to her not bothering Liyue Harbour in her lifetime.
"Yes, that is what I heard too. I suppose she likely at least knows Liyue is in part responsible for the death of Osial." Ningguang noted with a grim expression.
"Eep! Piamon doesn't care why she is here but is it Paimon or does this God seem even scarier then Osial? She only has three heads but it seems to Paimon she is even bigger?" Paimon screamed in fear.
'I can't blame Paimon for her fear. Even I am shuddering and Beisht is at the coastline far away. Her presence is just like Osail if not worst.' Lumine nodded with a frown as she clenched her sword hard.
Beisht manifested as Hydra like water beast that seemed to be even bigger then the manifested Osial and despite only having three heads instead of five like Osial she seemed to have a stronger aura of oppression. AN4: Like Osial Beisht body seemed to be formed from the ocean itself.
Beisht gave a roar of anger as its three heads lifted up into the air and started to gather Hydro energy in all three of its mouth.
"Not again! One of those from Osial nearly destroyed Liyue Harbour before and she is charging another one at this range?" Ningguang noted with narrowed eyes.
'Dammit of all times to not have the Adepti or Naruto here…! Dammit I don't know if we can stop it! We haven't had any time to prepare any defences.' Ningguang thought in desperation.
The crowd was yelling and whimpering in fear while Hutao grabbed Zhongli by his wrist.
"We got to get to safety Mr. Zhongli! We might have Visions but this is too much for people like us!" Hutao yelled with a serious expression as she pulled Zhongli with her to a relatively safe zone.
'…. Dammit… Of all times… I no longer have the Gnosis of Morax aka the Geo Gnosis…. Even if I should allow myself to use Divine power that remains, I do not know if I have the strength anymore to fight Gods like Osial let alone Beisht without the power of the Gnosis… Did I make the wrong mistake giving it up just like that?' Zhongli admitted with regret as he briefly clenched his teeth in anger. He knew his strength was no longer as great as when Morax had the Geo Gnosis although he was far from helpless.
Beisht in less then a minute gathered enough Hydro energy in its mouth to form three powerful beams of Hydro and shot that towards Liyue Harbour. It zoomed across the ocean and zipped towards Liyue Harbour combing to form a much larger and stronger Hydro beam as it continued its way to Liyue Harbour. The beam itself seemed to be bigger then the entire Liyue Harbour itself.
"Dammit even if all the Vision Users in Liyue could gather all their elemental energy together at once we still couldn't slow this down let stop it!" Lumine admitted as she looked behind to see screaming civillains cowering in fear.
"Paimon is going to die! Please help us!" Paimon screamed as Lumine held her guide in her arms.
Far away Shenhe and Cloud Retainer in her Crane form were running towards the Harbour but knew they would not make it in time.
"Even if One cannot stop the blast as an Adeptus it is one's honour to sacrifice themselves for the Land of Liyue." Cloud Retainer admitted while Shenhe's calm expression betrayed her scared eyes.
'Is there any force who could stop a beam that powerful?' Shenehe thought to herself knowing her Cryo Vision would be insufficient to stop the blast.
Naruto had appeared on a hidden Flying Rajin marker at the entrance of the Liyue Habour before he activated Chakra Mode cloak appearing as a golden figure as he dashed so fast all that could be seen would be a golden blur. Meanwhile another Naruto aka a shadow Clone had flown to be behind Beisht behind 'her' head hovering there with a determined look.
Just as the massive blast was just a dozen feet away from Liyue Harbour and likely to destroy the Harbour and everyone there at once. Naruto appeared in a golden blur. His cloak seemed to vanished as he condensed it into his right hand which he put in front of his body.
"Sorry about this. This is too much energy to just let be. You can have it back though." Naruto stated as he stopped the blast with his Golden Chakra hand.
It clashed with his hand but stopped in its track much to everyone including Beisht shock. Naruto then made a handsign with his left hand before he vanished along with the blast disappearing completely. Naruto's shadow clone had already thrown a marked Flying Rajin kunai enhanced with wind chakra flying hundreds of meters in a few seconds.
Naruto along with the blast appeared next to his shadow clone who nodded at him. Naruto passed the blast to his shadow clone who frowned at Beisht.
"Let's go together." Naruto's shadow clone told Beisht whose heads turned to face him. Before she could do anything besides glare at the Naruto's. The Shadow clone had grabbed one of her heads with his free hand and with the Hydro Blast condensed into a form of a massive ball that was started to expand showing it was about to explode.
Naruto's shadow clone vanished with Beisht and her Hydro Blast into mid air before they appeared next to the flown Flying Rajin Kunai which was already several hundred feet away. Naruto's shadow clone held onto Beisht even as the blast expanded and exploded into a massive explosion that could be seen from Liyue Harbour hundreds if not thousand feet away.
Everyone could only look up in shock and awe and even fear as the explosion seemed resemble an explosion foretold in legends. Despite it being Hydro energy the explosion seemed to be yellow and reach the heavens themselves as Naruto seemed to have diverted a majority of the energy upwards.
"Naruto!" Lumine screamed in fear for her friend as being far away it seemed Naruto had teleported himself and the Ancient God together and was caught up in the explosion.
The energy from the blast appeared to be sensed by several people who had Archon levels of strength or perhaps greater.
In Mondstadt
Venti the current form of the Anemo Archon looked up in the direction of the blast. He could not see it clearly but he saw something far into the distance. For once he did not have a cheerful carefree smile the people would expect of the 'drunken bard of Mondstadt' but rather a serious expression on his youthful face.
"Is this one of the Ancient Gods from Liyue? What is happening out there Morax?" Venti asked himself as he clenched his fist and hovered in the air using the power of Anemo.
In Inazuma
Two beautiful and powerful women sensed the outpour of energy from Liyue with one having a completely emotionless expression and another having a slight frown instead of her smirk on her beautiful face.
"This power… It is unusual to see such power used outside of war…. That in itself makes it an enemy of Eternity…" The Raiden Shogun stated with her cold emotionless tone that never changed.
The Raiden Shogun was the 'puppet' that the real Electro Archon Ei inhabited who 'slept' in her own dimension inside of her mind. The Raiden Shogun was well known for her beauty and strength being the undisputed leader and ruler of the Land of Eternity. The Raiden Shogun was a beautiful mature woman with pale skin, purple eyes with light blue pupils, and long dark braided violet hair. She wore a short lavender kimono with a dark purple bodysuit underneath. The kimono seemed to be loose on her shoulder exposing some of her cleavage and the only reached her upper thighs in the front. She wore dark purple thigh high stockings that left an inch of her thighs in between.
"This power…. Whoever is fighting a power like that must be strong…. For everyone sake I hope the silly puppet and whoever is fighting this God never fight… It might spell catastrophe for Inazuma…" Yae Miko mumbled to herself as she put sleeve and her hand never to her chin before a smirk appeared.
"By the same token however whoever is fighting might be the only one strong enough to knock sense into my dear Ei so I suppose if they ever come to Inazuma, I shall have to give my personal greetings." Yae Miko added as an afterthought.
Yae Miko was a beautiful Kitsune tall woman with fair skin, purple eyes and thigh length pink hair. Her fox-like pink ears were also visible in her human form albeit they pointed down on the sides of her hair with the same pink hair as the rest of her hair. She wore an unique variation of Shrine Priestess outfit, It was colour scheme of red and white and was longer at the back which reached the back of her knees. In the front it was shorter only reaching her lower thighs and showing off her long legs until there was brown sandals with small heels in the back. Her sleeves were not attached to the main part of her outfit being shoulderless and exposing a part of her armpits and the sides of her breasts. She had golden hair accessory on the top of her head along with a pir of matching golden earrings. Notably her right earring contained her Electro Inazuma Vision showing her being a Vision User.
In Sumeru
Since the group was watching in real time, they saw Naruto swap out with a Shadow Clone as Nilou and Collei let out sighs of relief wile Nahida was just smiling proudly. Alhaitham and Cyno both had serious expressions watching this play out.
In Fontaine
While the 'official Hydro Archon' Furina was at an opera singing and acting to the joy of the crowd and people of Fontaine, Neuvillette the Iudex of Fontaine looked up with concern into the sky. Neuvillette was actually the human form of the Hydro Dragon Sovereign but like all Dragon Sovereign his Divine Authority was reduced due to the power of the Archon having the missing part of their powers in the form of the Divine Thrones.
"What is this? I can sense great powers clashing? This is far from Fontaine so I suppose it will not need my interference but I still am curious about the fate of Tyvet if such beings who do not seem to have the power of the Archons can exist freely like this." Neuvillette thought with a thoughtful expression as he placed a hand on a proud but sad face and his chin.
In Natlan
The beautiful and mature Pyro Acheron Mavuika was in a middle of a meeting and flinched before continuing her meeting without her expression changing.
'Those powers… No, I do not have the time or resources to worry about anything besides the Abyss. Natlan must survive!' Mavuika thought dismissively.
Mavuika was a mature woman with light skin and red eyes with yellow sun shaped pupils. She notably red knee length wavy hair that seemed to flow like orange flames the lower half and yellow at the ends. She wore a black biker bodysuit exposed a part of her chest. Her eyes pupils were uniquely like the spokes of a sun. She had a pair of golden earrings that were hollowed in the middle and had 8 spokes on the outer rim.
In Snezhnaya
Tsaritsa The Cryo Achon sat on her throne with a proud but sad expression. She seemed to tilt her head upwards when she felt the clash of power but did not say a word.
Back in Liyue
The explosion continued on for about half a minute as the citizens of Liyue could only gape at the massive explosion.
"Naruto! Are you okay?" Keqing surprisingly shouted no longer the calm self she usually showed as her eyes were wide with fear.
"Did you call me? Sorry if I worried you. Making a beautiful woman cry over me is something I never want to do." Naruto asked as he appeared directly behind Keqing seemingly without warning.
"… Eep! Don't appear behind people like that! I nearly jumped out of my skin!" Keqing screamed as she actually jumped and summoned her sword. She looked like she was about to stab Naruto by instinct much to his amusement but held herself back.
Naruto gave her a cheesy grin as he held her wrist to steady her.
"Sorry sorry. You are just so cute when you worry dear Keqing." Naruto claimed with a wink as Keqing cheeks turned red.
"Sheesh! You always make the most inappropriate comments at times like this!" Keqing retorted but her flustered cheeks showed she was rather affected by his comments.
Naruto was about to flirt again with the pretty purple haired Yuheng but there was a feminine cough with a notable hint of impatience.
"Cough Cough. Thank you for coming back to us Naruto especially to save us from another threat from Liyue ancient past." Ningguang thanked him with a warm smile before her red eyes looked over at Naruto's hand on Keqing wrist.
Keqing noticed he was technically holding her hand as she quickly grabbed her wrist back with a red tint on her cheeks again. Naruto seemed more amused than anything else.
"However, can you save your…. Eccentric personality for some other time?" Ningguang asked impatiently as she put a hand on her hip.
'Hmm she is supposed to be stern but all I can see is how much an hourglass and tall figure she naturally has.' Naruto thought but his eyes were focused on Ningguang's red eyes.
"Hmm eccentric alright. Fine. We can chat later." Naruto stated before turning to Lumine and Paimin with a wave.
"Also hi Lumine and Paimon. I could tell you were abit concerned. Sorry about popping out. Such is the life of someone who heeds the concerns of their Archon first. Not that Liyue is bad or anything but I do have my own priorities after all." Naruto babbled on with a wink showing a rather 'Kushina' style of having a 'motor mouth' not that anyone in Teyvet besides Nahida and a few in Sumeru understood.
From Sumeru Nahida smirked having heard all about Naruto's famous Uzumaki mother.
"Is Beisht dead? Did that reflected blast kill her?" Ningguang asked seriously as all that could be seen was a massive burst of steam from where the blast was starting to settle. Ningguang hands on her hips and her stern expression showed how worried she was.
Naruto looked over at the steam with a thoughtful expression before sighing.
"I would love to reassure you guys its all over but…" Naruto apologized just before a massive roar of anger could be heard from the water.
"Not a chance that Beisht is gone. There is no way her own attack would able to take her out no matter how I sent it back to her." Naruto admitted as the steam cleared from the roar showing that Beisht appeared to be completely unharmed.
"One does not think the scales are in one's favour. Beisht not invading Liyue up to this point is fate giving us her favour. However, it appears that favour is now gone." Cloud Retainer noted solemnly to Shenhe is they were standing on a roof close to but away from where the main group was standing.
"Master…. What can we do if a blast like that only inconvenience a monster like that?" Shenehe asked Cloud Retainer who sighed.
"We need to depend on the power of mortals or rather the power of a certain mortal. One who defeated Osial could possibly be one who slays Beisht." Cloud Retainer replied as they gazed at Naruto.
Everyone turned towards the Beisht with looks of fear.
"Impossible. She withstood her own blast that could wiped out Liyue Harbour at once and she wasn't damaged at all?" Keqing asked in disbelief as she notably shook slightly.
"Even someone like Osial would have likely needed time to reform but Beisht instead withstood it?" Ganyu added as her face was rather grim.
Naruto crossed his arms as he gave the far away Beisht a look of respect and whistled.
"She wasn't sealed away like Osial. She has been out here in the seas for 2000 years minding her own business. She just now appeared in Liyue." Naruto reminded them before he sighed.
"She probably sensed Osial release and death. I am guessing she wants revenge and came to the place where Osial lost his life." Naruto suggested looking sad for a moment before looking resigned.
There was the unspoken silence in the area as everyone looked at Naruto who was the one had defeated and slayed Osial. Lumine reached her right arm out almost like she wanted to comfort Naruto but then stopped herself.
'I barely know him and it had to be done.' Lumine thought to herself.
However, Paimon decided to give her two cents like usual.
"Um….? Couldn't it be a coincidence that that the scary Sea God came here? I mean aren't you giving too much credit the idea she is seeking revenge?" Paimon asked cluelessly as Lumine sighed.
Naruto gave Paimon a look of pity before chuckling.
"That is a rather simple way to look at life Paimon. Either way its clear that she means to wipe out Liyue Harbour so I gotta step in." Naruto stated as he grew determined as he started to walk towards the water.
"Will you be alright? Do you need our assistance?" Ningguang asked him with a serious expression as Naruto briefly turned around to look in her direction.
"There is a reason why Nahida doesn't need security when I am around. I am all the security she needs!" Naruto answered confidently as there was a brief spark of electricity emitting from his eyes.
Nahida had a rather amused smirk as she nodded as she turned to Cyno.
"He's not wrong. While he and or one of his Shadow Clones is not in Sumeru, I will protect you from anything. However, if he is here all the Harbingers together could not invade Sumeru if they tried." Cyno stated firmly showing full belief in Naruto's abilities.
"He does have that nickname after all. Although only people in Sumeru know of it." Alhaitham added as he closed the book he was scribbling in.
Nilou and Collei exchanged a look of exasperation before sighing.
"The Sun of Sumeru." Collei stated before Nilou bit her lip softly.
"Like the sun he can grant life but he can also take those lives whose evil intent threatens peace." Nilou added as the group sighed knowing that Naruto hated that name.
'For some reason I cannot fathom I cannot help but believe he is telling the truth…' Shenhe thought as Cloud Retainer looked at her from the corner of her stern glance.
'The little one feels off… It's almost like she is feeling something akin to hope… One hopes my belief in that one is not misplaced for Little Shenhe sake.' Cloud Retainer thought to herself as she looked back over at Naruto.
Naruto started to hover in mid air as random civilians started to whisper about 'The power of Anemo' as Naruto paid them no mind.
"I will try to mitigate any damage to the ocean to avoid the backlash but make sure you have Vision users on standby in case something comes blowing this way." Naruto commanded as his eyes continued to flicker with electricity.
While some of the people of Liyue seemed annoyed at Naruto giving commands Ningguang, Ganyu and Keqing merely nodded.
"Don't worry about the people. You defeat that Sea Goddess and will take it from here." Keqing stated confidently as she waved her sword a few times that emitted purple Electro from its blade.
"Yes, please focus on taking care of that problem Naruto. We are once again in your debt." Ganyu said as her violet eyes seemed to be more focused fitting her true age rather than her physical age of early 20s. Ganyu had already summoned her bow as blue Cryo manifested out of her bow as blue mist and thin ice in the air.
Ningguang crossed her arms but gave Naruto a nod.
'I must find some way to pay off our debt to Naruto. He cannot be our enemy and being our ally will make this the greatest age Liyue has ever seen. Perhaps I have finally found a man worthy of my virtue and affection?' Ningguang mused as she almost blushed mentally. Despite her stunning good looks, she was a maiden in every way due to her focus on making Mora and her business decisions giving her a reputation of being rather ruthless fending off anyone who would pursue her on a romantic level.
"Kick that giant squid monster ass!" Paimon cheered seemingly no longer afraid now that Naruto was here.
"Alright Paimon. Stay with Lumine alright. You will make sure to keep you safe until this is over." Naruto told her gently as he flew higher than the buildings surrounding him.
"Paimon will do!" Paimon chanted as she closed her eyes and gave him a cheerful grin.
'Naruto….. Pease be safe… This feels more dangerous than before…' Lumine thought as she seemed lost for words watching Naruto fly past the harbour and towards the ocean.
"Wooh wooh! My new best friend has got this! He better come back alive though! He is the only one who understands how important my job is and he is pretty good looking to bat!" Hutao chanted as he bounced up doing a fist bump.
"…" Zhongli was silent as he watched Naruto with eyes much older than he seemed.
"Don't you think he is good looking Mr. Zhongli? I bet he will have bunch of suitors from Liyue once he finishes off that monster! I mean I can already see the entire city seeing him as the 'hero of the people'!" Hutao teased Zhongli trying to lighten the mood as she winked and have him a teasing smile.
"….. I don't see males that way director. Whatever you say Director." Zhongli stated stoically trying to resist slapping his face at his much younger junior's eccentric personality.
'He is probably the only person here who stands a chance against Beisht as she was never sealed away… Sealing her away without my full powers is unlikely… At times like this I wish my powers in combat were on the same level as Beelzebul… ah I suppose she is currently is in the 'Almighty Shogun'.' Zhongli thought with a slightly mocking thought showing his somewhat distant relationship with the Electro Archon now.
"From what I hear Natlan is constantly fighting their own wars so we can hardly expect the Pyro Archon Lady Mavuika to come to Liyue despite her being the Archon for the Land of War." Zhongli mumbled to himself as Hutao eyebrows raised showing she heard something.
"Huh did you say something Mr. Zhongli? You were mumbling to yourself as if you were deep in fault." Hutao asked as Zhongli looked up from his hands as he was resting his chin on his hands.
"….." Zhongli did not say anything.
'This child is far too more intuitive than she lets on. Despite her interesting personality she is not completely unaware of what is happening behind the scenes in Liyue.' Zhongli thought to himself although with notable respect judging by the slight smile on his face.
Hutao put her face right against his making him stumble backwards in surprise.
"Director?!" Zhongli stuttered showing a rare look of surprise on his calm face.
"Hehe. Maybe you are just getting abit sentiment on your old age?" Hutao teased as Zhongli refused to give a response to that comment.
"Although I suppose for Adepti you wouldn't exactly be middle aged right?" Hutao asked with a probing expression before she winked and giggled.
"Not that it matters or anything. You are still Mr. Zhongli to me regardless if you weren't human." Hutao commented turning away from Zhongli with a smile on her face.
"Whatever you say Director." Zhongli stated calmly giving nothing on his expression as he too turned to ocean.
Naruto flew through the as he summoned a simple silver sword onto his right arm. He quickly sliced through several waves o Hydro beams as Beisht shot three of them at a time one from each head. Despite the multiple beams they seemed far weaker but compensated by sheer number and the fact each beam was still much bigger than Naruto's entire body. Naruto flowed blue Lightning style Chakra into his blade as he held onto the guard which gave off a chirping sound. The electricity flowed through his blade and into the Hydro Beams as he sliced through them.
The electricity flowed back through the Hydro Bram and zapped Beisht heads as she shuddered from the electricity zapping all three of her heads at the same time.
Naruto flew upwards before he fell forward with his silver sword shining as he looked ready to slice into Beisht heads while she was paralyzed. Much to everyone else's shock one of her heads seemed to 'shake away' its paralysis and shot a massive stream of Hydro energy while he was flying towards her.
Naruto made his hands into fists with his thumb covering the gap over his index fingers. He then slammed his forearms together almost as if he was making a wall in front of him. Suddenly a massive Wood Style Wall appeared in front of where his body was. The Wood Style took the damage and only was slightly broken by a few branches chipping off showing its durability. Naruto then flipped over his wooden wall and pushed chakra into his feet shown by the visible blue aura for a moment.
He actually slid down the Hydro Beam with his chakra protecting his feet from the high pressure. He then put his right hand forward after swapping the sword to his left hand. He pushed chakra into his hand as yellow chakra formed in the palm of his hand.
"Take this! Massive Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as the chakra in his hand expanded till it was many times larger than his whole body. He thrust his palm forward as he got within range. The Massive Rasengan expanded and exploded causing a massive explosion as Naruto flipped upwards and then backflipped in midair to get outside the range of his own attack. Naruto flicked his sword as a massive wave of Wind Chakra fired into the explosion in the form of a slash for good effect. The explosion seemed to reach the heavens itself from the size of the explosion.
The majority of the people in Liyue jaws were dropped with notably exceptions of Cloud Retainer, Ningguang, Ganyu, Keqing, Paimon and Lumine who were actually there when he slayed Osial. They were somewhat used to Naruto's displays of power but they did look impressed. Hutao was jumping back and forth cheering her 'new best friend' while Zhongli clapped his hands politely with a polite smile.
Yelan was on rooftop with her bow and arrows ready as she dropped her bow to the side and had a nervous smile.
"That man… No wonders Ningguang is so smitten with him. He truly can be Liyue greatest ally or worst enemy. We must truly find a way to coexist if not befriend him. These strange abilities of him make him more nervous then Adepti but also more at ease as well. It's weird its almost like I can feel we could be at the edge of a cliff but with him here we would always have hope." Yelan mumbled to herself as she put a hand on her hip and the other underneath her large chest.
Meanwhile Shenhe was standing next to Cloud Retainer who stern expression was smiling as she nodded in approval. While Shenhe cool expression was as restrained as ever.
'I can see why Master is so weary of Naruto Uzumaki. I doubt even Master and the other Adepti could fight on a level like this. Is this the power of those who reach the power of the Archons?' Shenhe thought to herself with a frown.
Meanwhile all around Teyvat various beings of great strength looked up at the sky at once as all across Teyvat there was something far into the sky and distance. They also all looked abit unnerved at the even stronger display of power then the reflected explosion from Beisht.
Mavuika looked up with a look of intrigue as another woman who looked like in her early 20's looked up from her house.
"What is this feeling? I had a dream of a yellow sun enveloping the world but weirdly enough it was a man as well. A man with whisker markings and eyes bluer than the ocean itself?" A shaman affectionally called 'Granny Itztli' but her real name is called Citali.
"Is he supposed to be the one to end the Abyss and suffering Natlan has been fighting for centuries?" Citali mused as she tapped her chin with a curious expression before shrugging.
"Not my issue though. Sounds like a pain to think of. If that man or omen ever shows up in Natlan then I suppose this dream meant something." Citali stated with an uncaring tone.
Despite being over 200 years old Citali returned her physical appearance for at least two centuries without aging or weakening. She was the high Priestess of Natlan well know for her accurate predications although she notably lived in seclusion to avoid getting attached to anyone due to not aging while others around her did. She had dark blue eyes with dark purple hair that faded into dark pink and dark purple depending on how far you went down her long hair. She wore black heels that showed off her toes that hooked up to intertwining black straps up halfway down her knees seemingly like unqique boots with heels.
Mavuika looked up at the sky with another thoughtful expression as she put a hand over her heart over her left breast.
"Can this person… If it can be called a person help Natlan? This strength I feel is something I have never felt before…" Mavuika mumbled to herself as she looked uncertain.
Meanwhile The Raiden Shogun seemed to be annoyed before her expression calmed down to its flawless emotionless expression like usual.
"This strength is truly the enemy of Eternity. Someone who is not bound by the laws of Teyvat and still has this level of strength can be an enemy of the Eternity I or rather she desires most of all." The Raiden Shogun stated crossing her arms.
Naruto looked at the smoke and explosion with a frown before he shook his head.
"Not enough…. She really is strong after all." Naruto stated firmly seemingly sensing Beisht was not destroyed by his massive attack.
Naruto still in the air put his sword in front of him seemingly preparing for an attack. His prediction came true as a massive hand of Hydro attempted to grab and crush him came out of the steam. Naruto quickly slashed it a dozen times with one handed strikes. The hand collapsed as Naruto waved his sword clearing the steam. This revealed the extent of the damage of Naruto's Massive Rasengan.
Beisht three heads were vaporized leaving three stumps where her neck was. The stumps seemed to twitching and stumbling before the water around her was absorbed into the stumps and regrew the heads who glared and roared at Naruto. Naruto kept his sword in front of him staring at the three hissing heads.
"Naruto attack was super powerful but she still regenerated from it!" Paimon noted as Lumine nodded slowly.
"Beisht wasn't affected by her own attack that would have wiped out Liyue in one blast and yet Naruto's attack… despite failing to land a decisive blow still managed to destroy her heads and force her to regenerate." Lumine added with Ningguang nodding along.
"It seems like we really do not have a role in this fight. This is a fight between Gods who are not Archons." Ganyu summarized showing the depths of the power of Beisht and Naruto.
"Hey Beisht! I know you can you hear me right!" Naruto yelled as Beisht turned to Naruto hissing but with her heads no longer twitching as much.
"Now that we have done our opening warning shots, I think it's time to talk!" Naruto stated as his voice carried along the wind allowing the people in Liyue to hear his voice as well.
'Opening shots? Is he suggesting he hasn't been taking this seriously? This really is a battle between monsters for the fate of Liyue.' The lawyer of Liyue Yanfei thought to herself drily.
She was Liyue most accomplished legal advisor with her exploits known across the other lands of Teyvat as well. She happened to also be half Adeptus similar to Ganyu indicating she could have a similar long-life span. The only notable sign of her Xiezhi heritage was her cream-coloured antlers behind her ears contrasting her salmon-coloured hair and green eyes.
Beisht growled at Naruto but made no moves to continue to attack Naruto seemingly waiting for Naruto to continue his talks.
"I am guessing you are here because Osial was slayed right? What other reason would you have for coming to Liyue to destroy it when you have left this place alone for thousands of years?" Naruto asked as Beisht eyes narrowed at Naruto with deep growls coming from her heads.
Naruto pointed his right thumb at his own forehead and used his left fist to bump against his chest.
"I am the one who slayed Osial not Liyue! They were only defending themselves from an out-of-control God who had just been unsealed! I am the one who made the decision to end the life of your mate not Liyue!" Naruto loudly proclaimed sternly but his tone showed a hint of sadness and regret as well.
"Naruto…. You are still trying to take that burden on by yourself?" Nahida stated sadly knowing that Naruto was trying to draw Beisht attention and hate onto himself only.
"So if you are going to attack anyone attack me! I am right here and I am not going to hide anywhere! Use all that hatred and bring it on the person who deserves it!" Naruto yelled as Beisht glared at him with pure hatred from all three of her heads.
"Is he trying to get himself killed? He is making that giant Hydro monster focus on just him. Is he an idiot?" An ignorant male civilian asked incredulously.
The same man eyes widened as he fell onto his butt and scampered back. Where he was standing a moment ago there was a medium size rock, Ice Arrow and shot of electricity was shot at his former feet location. He looked up and gulped in fear as Ningguang, Ganyu and Keqing were glaring at him with their eyes shining and glowing. Ninguagmg eyes were glowing yellowish brown full of Geo power, Ganyu violet eyes were shining whitish blue of Cryo and Keqing eyes were glowing with purple Electro showing their shots were full of elemental Vision power.
"Do not mock him. He is risking his life to save people lie you who understand nothing." Ganyu hissed shedding her calm and meek self she was known to current Liyue and more resembling a furious Adeptus.
"I am sorry! I didn't mean it!" The man claimed looking around for help. Unfortunately for him everyone else from Liyue was either giving him looks of disgust or looking away pretending not to notice his peril.
"People like you disgust me." Ningguang stated with her eyes so cold that everyone else couldn't help but shudder. This was not her calm 'business self' but rather a pure fury.
Keqing was about to add her two cents before they were interrupted.
"Enough! One does not believe this is productive and useless." A stern female voice stated from above. Everyone looked up until they heard a soft thud.
Next to the group Shenhe and Cloud Retainer landed on their feet but in Cloud Retainer case she just slowly hovered down instead of jumping like Shenhe.
'Who is that next to Cloud Retainer? They seem to know each other but Cloud Retainer doesn't seem like one to be close to humans.' Lumine thought eyeing Shenhe out the corner of her eyes.
"Lady Cloud Retainer. You came?" Ganyu asked softly bowing her head slightly to her former caretaker.
"Hello Ganyu. One is well? One came with Shenhe to observe the Liyue of today." Cloud Retainer explained as she tilted her head to introduce Shenhe,
"… … … Hello…." Shenhe introduced herself after a long pause seemingly having nothing else to say.
'Cloud Retainer took care of this one called Shenhe? I know I haven't been in touch but I didn't think Master Cloud Retainer would want to adopt a human.' Ganyu noted realizing that Shenhe was a fellow apprentice by how Cloud Retainer introduced Shenhe. Ganyu did give her fellow apprentice a look of interest only to frown when she saw how detached and emotionless Shenhe seemed to not only her but everything.
Meanwhile while the Liyue group was chatting Beisht and Naruto seemed to be having a stare down of sheer will. After a few tense moments two of Beisht's heads turned away from Naruto and fired a series of small but multiple beams of Hydro at Liyue Habour.
Naruto growled before he clasped her hands together as he flipped his sword into the air for a few moments. Instantly a forest of Trees formed from Wood Style appeared. They shot from Naruto's location and managed to outrace the Hydro beams due to their speed of creation. They intercepted in between the Hydro Beams and Liyue Harbour being that the size of the trees dwarfed Liyue Habrour despite growing from the ocean itself. The Trees withstood the barrage of attacks before redirecting the beams back into the ocean by creating a line that the beams were forced to follow. They soon exploded creating a massive wave that was stopped by the trees growing again.
Naruto had clasped his hands tighter aa the trees grew taller than the wave to stop the wave from enveloping Liyue Harbour. All that made it through was a mild mist and some winds. This forced the woman who had skirts or dresses to hold their dresses in place to avoid it being flipped and flashing their panties. While Lumine looked annoyed, Ningguang merely raised an eyebrow even as she was holding her dress down.
"Eep another attack! Will they ever stop?!" Paimon screamed as she started to fly around in panic with Lumine trying to grab her panicking partner.
"Stop complaining! Naruto is constantly protecting us! That bit of wind was nothing compared to the damage if even that smaller wave was to hit the harbour!" Keqing pointed out in exasperation.
'Although this is getting abit annoying that we keep almost getting hit in the crossfire. If Naruto wasn't here then the damage would be catastrophic. We were only able to get past Osial because Naruto was here and now someone even more powerful is here.' Keqing admitted to herself in worry.
"Look over there!" Hutao pointed out as she and Zhongli had mysteriously walked over from the shelter and joined the main group.
Everyone looked over to see Naruto create a massive Earth like structure out of midair in the form of a massive stake. He threw it into Beisht's chest as it penetrated her body seemingly stopping her two heads from continuing their barrage of Hydro beams.
"Oh! So that is Dendro, what looks like Anemo and now Geo powers! My bestie has it all! He is the best fighter in Liyue!" Hutao cheered bouncing on the soles of her feet before she turned to the group with a mischievous smile.
"Unless he is not using Elemental powers and using something that simply looks like the elements? You wouldn't hide something like that from little old me, would you?" Hutao asked with a wink and knowing look.
Ningguang looked around to see the civilians had rushed into the shelters after the last attack. Ningguang exchanged a look with Cloud Retainer who frowned but nodded.
"I suppose there is no point hiding it. We don't know exactly what to call it but Naruto claims he is from another world and that his powers are not from the Seven Elements of Teyvat. Based on everything he has shown us I see no reason to doubt his claims." Ningguang admitted as Hutao eyes seemed to shine with childlike interest before her smirk appeared back on her face.
"So, my bestie really is quite the catch huh? Incredibly kind, having connections to a foreign land like Sumeru and handsome to boot. He sure is the perfect man. Sigh I can see him having a lot of attention." Hutao noted with a sigh although her teasing expression seemed to be rather solemn.
Lumine turned to her with a sharp expression seeing Hutao have a look of longing.
'Does this girl want Naruto or not? For the life of me I cannot figure it out. This girl might act straight forward but she in reality is far smarter than she lets out." Lumine noted before she scowled for a moment.
'Not that I care if she wants to share Naruto's bed or not! We aren't a couple or anything!' Lumine thought in denial at the thought of being jealous.
Keqing and Ganyu focused on the battle while Shenhe blank expression didn't seem to change at all.
"Hold on. Something is happening." Ningguang pointed out as the group return focus to the battle field.
Beisht roared in pain before her body seemed to stretch out and expand. She enveloped Naruto's giant Earth stake and before contracting and condensing her body. The Earth stake was broken up into smaller pieces and the chunks were enveloped with parts of her Hydro body appearing as bubbles.
Beisht growled before she shot out the chunks of Earth surrounded by her own Hydro body allowing her to control them now. She shot out the chunks at super fast rate as if she was using a machine gun.
Naruto eyes narrowed as he was surrounded by barrages of super fast chunks of earth and Hydro. Naruto put a hand on his sword as blue electricity flowed into his blade.
"Chidori." Naruto stated calmly as he spun on his heel and swung his sword in mid air. There was a flash of what appeared to be lightning as all the rocks were blasted away from Naruto and reduced to almost dust size. The shockwave was strong enough to destroy two of Beisht three heads. However, she quickly started to regenerate the heads by absorbing the surrounding water.
"Dammit! No matter what Naruto does even destroying the heads over and over again isn't working! She just regenerates even if Naruto blows back everything, she sends his way!" Keqing hissed in frustration while being impressed Naruto could reflect back his reflected attack so effortlessly.
"Will this never end? There is near endless amount of water around Liyue she can absorb and regenerate from." Ganyu asked with a depressed look.
Naruto narrowed his eyes when he saw the rapid regeneration before nodding to himself.
'This is kinda like Edo Tensei since Beisht has the home field advantage as long as she is in the water. I need to send a barrage of high-speed attacks in the intervals she regenerates.' Naruto analyzed as he looked at his left hand.
Naruto raised his left hand into the air before dropping it down to his side. Instantly a massive bolt of Electro power came out of the sky in the form of a lightning bolt that shot and vaporized Beisht's regenerating heads and a majority of her body along with her remaining intact head.
Even from Liyue the group there had to cover their eyes from the massive flash of light and then their ears from the sonic boom from the Thunder that arrived afterwards.
"Was that Electro or Naruto's unique thunder-based powers?" Hutao asked as Keqing shrugged.
"Don't ask us. We barely understand what Naruto is doing let alone how." Keqing pointed out before Shenhe pointed at Beisht.
"She is coming back again." Shenhe pointed out blankly as once again despite being somewhat slower due to being electrified Beisht started to reform her lost body from the surrounding water.
Naruto quickly made a cross with his index and middle finger on both hands.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu." Naruto stated as four copies of himself appeared out of nowhere in puffs of smoke.
Hutao literally squealed as her eyes hone mischievously.
"He can literally create clones of himself? That is so cool! He can satisfy any woman he is with!" Hutao noted as Lumine and Ganyu turned bright red with embarrassment. While Ningguang rolled her eyes and Keqing had mild flush on her cheeks.
"Don't mind the director. She has always been eccentric and says things just to get under people skin. She doesn't mean any harm by it." Zhongli pointed out politely as Cloud Retainer gave him a side eye glance.
One of Naruto's clones shot barrage of tree roots that slashed through Beisht's regenerating body scattering her before she could reform completely. Another clone formed barrage of rocks the size of Naruto fist but seemingly thousands as they shot rapid speed and tore her body as well. Another clone kept putting his arm up and then down to send massive barrages of lightning each time his hand went down. The final clone took a deep breath and shot massive balls of fire that evaporated water and caused massive explosions each time they hit one of Beisht's body parts.
The clones kept up their continuous barrage of attacks even as Beisht body continued to regenerate only to get blasted apart by the clones elemental attacks.
"Naruto is continuously attacking while she is regenerating with his clones. He is not letting her fight back as she is being forced to regenerate constantly!" Lumine noted with awe at the sheer amount of attacks Naruto was barraging the ancient God.
"Paimon thinks he is amazing!" Paimon cheered.
Ningguang had a serious expression as she bit her lip gently.
"The real question who will fold first? Naruto with all these attacks draining his energy or Beisht being forced to regenerate constantly without break?" Ningguang pointed out as once again Beisht partially regenerated heads with blown apart with a barrage of tree roots.
Shenhe looked over at Cloud Retainer who kept her calm expression on her Crane form's face.
'Master might not show it but Naruto is truly impressing her. He is very strong.' Shenhe noted although she couldn't truly express anything but slight awe.
While his clones were keeping Beisht busy by forcing her to regenerate from their relentless attacks, Naruto formed a Rasengan in his right hand but this one was filled with Six Paths power.
"Sage Art- Magnet Style Rasengen!" Naruto shouted as his Six Paths Sage Power was used as a substitute for Sage chakra.
'She can't attack or defend from all these attacks. This is what happens when you have near endless regeneration. You get cocky and stuck taking these attacks over and over again!' Naruto thought as he vanished in a burst of speed and reappeared in front of Beisht main body.
He slammed the Manet Style Rasengan into her chest as she roared in pain while regenerating. Instantly the markings of Shukaku appeared on her body as the seal started to spread into her entire body from the initial Rasengan point.
"That's the same power he used against Osial to seal away his moments!" Lumine shouted as Beisht appeared to be stuck in mid regeneration only having half of her neck regenerated on her two outer heads while the main one was frozen in position.
Naruto clones had stopped their attacks and flew away as Naruto main body crossed his arms in front of his chest in an X shape. They then vanished in poofs of smoke.
"Take this! Grand Sand Mausoleum Seal!" Naruto yelled as vast amounts of sand appeared seemingly from the direction of Sumeru flying towards him and Beisht.
"Hehe Naruto hasn't turned all of Sumeru desert into oasis yet. He is just using some of the left-over sand for his Sand Jutsu." Nahida noted smugly as Alhaitham looked interested.
"What that amount of sand he can bury entire armies before they can cross. A desert would be a death trap for anyone trying invade." Alhaitham noted as Cyno nodded solemnly.
"So much sand! He is controlling all of that with just his own will?!" Ningguang shouted in shock showing genuine shock at this display of power.
Some of the sand turned into several massive hands which carried Beisht main body and scooped it up with her heads and sealed body in their massive grip. The hands carried her massive body rapidly into a nearby field before setting her hands down. While the sand hands clenched their fists to prevent her from slipping out the rest of the sand circled around the sealed God. They covered her and the hands in sand before compressing into the form of a pyramid.
Soon marking similar to the Magnet Style Rasengan appeared onto the pyramid as Naruto clapped his hands together with the markings then stopping as they finished appearing. The sand seemed to shimmer as if it was Golden in the light.
"The seal is set… There we are done." Naruto stated as he panted from the effort turning to Liyue Harbour with a smile. He leapt into the air preparing to rejoin the group after sealing away Beisht.
"He did it! He sealed away the God!" Hutao cheered as Zhongli had a small smile.
"As expected of the Guardian of Sumeru. The one who can protect Lady Buer on his own." Zhongli noted with a note of pride as he closed his eyes but looked rather pleased.
"Paimon thinks we need to have a feast and party! For Naruto of course hehe!" Piamon stated looking sheepish when Lumine gave her an unimpressed look.
"Uh huh Paimon. Definitely for Naruto not because you are hungry again." Lumine stated rather sarcastically.
"That is fine. Liyue owes Naruto Uzumaki another debt after all. A feast is the least we can do." Ningguang noted with a sincere smile and tone full of gratitude.
The group continued to cheer making Naruto smile before suddenly everyone was silent.
"Cough? What? Is this….?" Naruto gasped as blood started to leak down his mouth and chin and he felt incredible pain.
Naruto looked down only to see a human looking arm sticking through the left side of his coming from his back.
"…. No… How?" Ganyu gasped with tears running down her face as she watched the saviour of Liyue start to drop out of the sky and land on the water edge with the arm still sticking out of him.
"This can't be happening… We won! He won! This can't be happening!" Hutao shouted in denial as she continued to shake her head back and forth.
Lumine growled as she summoned her own sword and swung it looking ready to jump in.
"She is going to pay for that!" Lumine declared as her golden eyes were full of righteous fury.
Naruto stumbled forward before he felt another hand grab his shoulder from being tugging him back towards his attacker.
"We can have peace. Once you and everyone here is nothing but a memory that will be forgotten." Beisht voice sang out but she sounded very much human female.
She kicked Naruto from behind as her arm was pulled out of Naruto who fell onto his face but still above the water. There was a trail of blood leaking out of the visible hole out of Naruto's body.
Everyone from Liyue gaped at the new Beisht who seemed to have taken a human form and no longer the triple headed monster made from Hydro. Beisht appeared to be a tall human woman roughly the same height as Yelan and Ningguang with a curvy and busty figure but her eyes were colder then ice itself. Her skin was fair with long dark blue hair that flowed down her back with two bangs framing her face. Her eyes were icy cold blue that seemed to glare at everything around her that contrasted her oddly pink lips. This new Beisht seemed to have formed white pants that reached all the way to her ankles showing white sandals. There was a gap between her pants and her dark blue top showing a hint of belly button and her well tone stomach along with her thin waist.
Ganyu and Cloud Retainer shuddered in both fear and awe. While Zhongli narrowed his amber eyes and briefly had a look of uncertainty on his face.
"If one did not know that one was the ancient God Beisht, one would believe she was an Adepti like oneself." Cloud Retainer noted before looking over at Ganyu who looked equally disturbed,
"Or a half Adeptus, half human hybrid like Yanfei or me…." Ganyu noted seeing that Beisht 'human form' looked completely human albeit she seemed to be even more superior looking then the Adepti of old showing disdain of humanity in general.
"What is this? Is that Beisht? How?" Ningguang asked in shock while Keqing was more worried about Naruto who was face first into the water.
"Naruto! Naruto! Wake up!" Keqing shouted loudly as she summoned her own sword.
"Now for the you all. Don't worry I will make it quick. I am not cruel. I am just going to end you all." The new Beisht declared as she started to walk away from the prone Naruto. The water around her surrounded her swirling around her as she walked on the water calmly but with a menacing aura.
"Dammit! Everyone get ready!" Ningguang ordered as her own Geo Vision glowed showing her gathering Geo energy.
"Roar!" Naruto roared as everyone felt a surge of power from Naruto's body.
Red chakra flowed out of Naruto forming a cloak around him as his whisker markings grew larger and his teeth and fingernails grew larger and sharper. This gave Naruto an fox like look as he essentially got fangs and claws especially as a 'tail' formed behind him from the chakra cloak.
Before Beisht could do anything more then turn around Naruto already dashed forward and sent a massive punch directly into her face. Beisht let out a groan of pain as streak of blood flowed out of her nose which appeared to be broken from the punch. She then moaned again when Naruto sent a kick with his knee into her stomach. He finished the combo by punching her in the gut with such force the water that was gathered around her was destroyed by the shockwave as she skittered quite some distance away.
Beisht put her hands onto the water which seemed to slow down her push before she flipped over and landed on her feet. She wiped away the blood from her nose with the back of her left hand as she gave Naruto a look of surprise overtaking her disgust.
"How are you still alive? I pieced your lung in one shot?" Beisht demanded as Naruto cracked her neck from side to side.
"Sorry it takes more then that to kill me. That did hurt though I will grant you." Naruto replied with his voice notably deeper and with a hint of a growl.
The people from Liyue let out a collective sigh.
Beisht gave him a curious look before she moved her head towards Liyue. AN5:
"Are you sure you don't want to ask for help? Maybe from an Adeptus or one of those humans who use the power of the Gods called Visions? It makes no difference to me as I plan to slaughter you all eventually." Beisht asked with a hint of mocking despite her calm expression.
The chakra vanished as Naruto pointed to his left ide of his body. The hole rapidly healed over including with new skin and new hint of a scar. All that showed there was damage at all was a fist size hole through his shirt going through both sides.
"Why would I need help to deal with the likes of you?" Naruto asked as Beisht eyes narrowed looking rather offended.
"What is your true name? Is it really Beisht or is that more of title?" Naruto asked as Beisht bit her lip for a moment before sighing.
"It's Aqua. A name I was born with but I have discarded and not used in centuries. The humans gave m the title Beisht and I have never disputed it." Aqua revealed her true name as the people from Liyue were surprised at the name.
Naruto looked pleased at the name reveal before he started to walk towards Aqua who did the same.
"Very well Aqua. To me you are simply an Ancient God who has lived for too long." Naruto stated calmly as Aqua and Naruto were just a few feet apart now.
"And you are simply a human who needs to be defeated." Aqua retorted before a smirk appeared on her face.
"While the rest of this accursed place will vanish into air you will be alone that survives. You will survive in my memories as I consume you and make you a part of me." Aqua promised as Naruto eyes narrowed.
"Or I will grant your wish and send you where Osial is. That is maybe your true wish to be with him in the afterlife?" Naruto suggested as Aqua didn't say anything.
Aqua did have a brief look of sadness looking down which Naruto caught before she sent wave of Hdyro at Naruto which he pushed away with a wall of Anemo. Naruto whistled as his sword returned to his sheathe that was on his hip.
AN2: Yes, she is wearing the same thing as her canon counterpart so her outfit is the same as the imagine Naruto showed Lumine and Paimon.
AN3: Yes, before people ask this is a loophole since Irminsul does not record Descenders actions. They are watching from above using Nahida powers. This shows how much a connection Nahida has to Irminsul and how she and Naruto have mastered or at least utilized more fully the power of world itself.
AN4: I know in game she doesn't seem to be bigger than Osial but in my story she is bigger and stronger as she was never sealed away so she had the 2000 years unhindered unlike Osial who just got released from the seal in chapter 1.
AN5: This was inspired by Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood 54 credit scene. Where Van Hohenheim walks to "Father's" Lair and reaches him. They talk for the first time since Xeres where they declare they don't need help to deal with each other and call each other by their original names (Dwarf in the flask and Slave 23 respectively)
