Legendary Myth of the Ten

by Havoc-Teir

Oneshot: What if the Bijuu were immortal and lived well beyond the age of Shinobi? Though, admittedly, they swapped out with the favourite vessels to move on with their father. Their successors remained around for an untold amount of time. Yeah. They became those myths and legends of old of the current era. Yasaka can barely believe it herself. A Ten-Tailed Kitsune just awoke. Who?

3. Part Three?

Part Three

A/N: I blame you all for this. Wasn't meant to write this but everyone kept. Sigh. Whatever.

Kyoto Shrine

Sitting as calmly as perceivably possible one could hope to be in the main office was one Satan of diplomatic affairs, Serafall Leviathan, having come to try and negotiate with the Youkai leadership before things escalated to full blown war.

Why was she trying to appear calm? Well, standing on either side were two of the awoken super di-Youkai characters she had been briefed on. One was the two tailed Tanuki. He had introduced himself as Gaara of the Desert, leader of the Tanuki family.

The other was the four-tailed turtle, Yakamaru of the Crystal, and head of the joint turtle and tortoise tribe.

They had met her at the border and escorted her through the town and into the shrine, and Serafall had never been this terrified. As a Sitri, her sensory abilities are second to only perhaps the Leviathan clan of the old faction and can very clearly sense that these two were by far stronger than she was, and they weren't even trying to be intimidating.

Quite the opposite if anything.

From Sirzechs report, the turtle is a pacifist by nature, but if pushed is a very dangerous creature that has outlasted the best of the dragons in endurance. The Tanuki is basically impervious to injury if there is wind or sand nearby. So, like always.

During their trip here, she had sensed, what she assumed was, the others of their group scattered around the district and even spotted one flying at high-speed doing, what she thought were, impossible manoeuvres leading other flying Youkai in an exercise in aerial mobility and combat,

Now though, Serafall was awaiting the return of Yasaka in her office. She hadn't sensed her anywhere yet, but one of the attendants had mentioned to Gaara that she had gone to speak with Naruto. She assumed that was the full name of the Ten-tailed kitsune as they had only heard the term 'Naru' before, so it made sense.

Just then, the door parts an in stepped a dragon attendant, bringing tea, which was a surprise as Serafall was told these di-Youkai hated anything dragon related. As the pitite woman provided the green jasmine tea, Serafall felt compelled to ask, "Are you a dragon? How are you still alive?"

Gaara and Yakamaru looked to one another, amused, but otherwise remained silent, allowing the dragoness to respond, "Yes, Lady Leviathan. I am a dragon. My name is Aeriana and have sworn my fealty to Lord Naruto in exchange for my life to be spared."

That made sense, if the kitsune was rumoured to despise dragons enough to want them all dead. Yet, Serafall felt that this was a slither of hope, a guiding beam of light which meant things were not yet unassailable. With a nod, the Satan smiled, "I see. Well, thank you for clearing up my confusion."

Aeriana bowed, speaking softly. "You assume that I would have been slain on sight, yes?"

Serafall nodded, assuming that, and Aeriana knew she almost was, twice, so responded with, "When my flock attacked, I was only barely able to escape my lord's opening salvo as I was at the back of the pack. My siblings were not so lucky. Lord Crom had been defeated and withdrew with only that gear user remaining. I was given a choice, surrender or die. It was not a choice I dallied with."

Serafall nodded, the reports did say the kitsune had defeated the crescent circle dragon, white dragon emperor, and a flock of dragons in under two minutes. If she was in that position, she would have bowed too.

Aeriana though added, "Though, I am greatful that he is a man of his word, I am also aware that if I overstep his boundaries, I will be incinerated by his white flames. Do keep that in mind."

Serafall nodded again, swallowing hard at the notion of angering one of the strongest beings in their history.

Abruptly, both Gaara and Yakamaru look to the side. Aeriana followed shortly after, speaking up, "It seems they are almost here. I shall take my leave."

Serafall had almost chocked on her tea when those signatures suddenly appeared, cold sweat running down her temples and neck. By the Satans, Sirzechs was not joking in the slightest. They really had no chance against these monsters.

A few minutes go by before the door parts again, and Aeriana returns to the room and places down several cups of tea and a kettle before refilling Serafall's cup, and just as she reaches the door, it opens and Yasaka was standing there. At her back were Naruto, her master, and Yugito both stern looking.

Aeriana bowed her head and steps aside, allowing their entry first, speaking formally. "Lady Yasaka, Lady Yugito, Master Naruto. I have prepared and served tea for your consumption."

The three nodded as they passed, Naruto responding, "Good, report to your station and standby for new instructions."

Aeriana bowed again, replying promptly. "By your word, Master."

As she left, Naruto and Yugito nodded to their fellows still leaning on opposite walls to one another, who nodded back with their tea mugs in hand.

Serafall had never been this tense. Up close, the power coming from the ten-tailed kitsune was suffocating, almost completely blocking out her senses, and truly Yasaka paled in comparison. To think, just one additional tail could be so drastic in power level. Then again, even the three tailed woman held power outstripping Yasaka by a comfortable margin.

They really need this to work Serafall realised at this very moment.

Clearing her throat, Yasaka begins this meeting, "So, Satan Leviathan. You called for this meeting. What can we, the Youkai faction, do for you?"

Serafall utilised her entire life experience to calm her nerves and senses, steadying her breathing as she looked at Yasaka, who was sitting between the two super di-youkai, speaking firmly. "It is rather obvious that, in light of recent events, that we Devils as a society have a lot to make-up for…"

Yugito, Naruto, and Gaara all snorted at that statement. Yakamaru sighed hard into his drink. Serafall fought with her many centuries of experience to mask the flinch from their action. Yasaka made no move that she noticed anything.

The lone devil continued, "and so, we are now, more than ever, wishing to cement a full alliance with you along with our own allies within the biblical faction."

Yasaka nodded at that, expecting it after what has happened over the last few days since the battle between the youkai and the dragons. That being said, she could also feel the sneer forming from the other Youkai present.

Even she herself could feel her own sneer forming but professionally pushed it aside and offered a smile. "Is this something you have discussed with your allies?"

Serafall wanted to lie but her gut feeling told her that would be unwise and send the absolute wrong message. So, with a barely resigned, thought to be unnoticed, sigh, she responded, "Not as of yet. Rather, I would like to establish the groundwork for facilitating this outcome as I am certain the others will also seek this."

Gaara smirked out of sight of the devil, Yakamaru nodded at her choice not to lie to them so blatantly. Naruto used his tea to hide his smirk as did Yugito. They both knew the truth, they all did. The devils were scared. Scared that they were coming to wipe them out. This peace treaty was to prevent that. How foolish.

Yasaka though, had to play the diplomatic game for now, and so raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Should you not confer this with them before asking for this? Jumping the gun might be construed as a sign of ill faith, no?"

Serafall tried to smile reassuringly, it was fake, and they all knew it, but she spoke firmly. "I am sure that our allies will understand our prudence. I see no issue."

Yasaka hummed at that, though Naruto felt like messing with this devil, just a tiny bit, thus he stared down into his tea eying it in faux disappointment, mumbling, "Kinda cold…"

Everyone heard him as planned though, drawing attention as he puffed a minuscule amount of his white flames into his half full cup of tea. It vaporised the cup in its entirety.

Serafall paled whilst remaining blank face at the display.

Gaara had to look away, biting his tongue not to break his stoic mask in public. Yakamaru smiled at the joke played. Yasaka looked at him bewildered. Yugito smirked at his antics now looking at her own cup much the way he had, saying just as low as he did, "Not really my thing either…"

Again, dark azure flames were breathed out and not even ash remained of the clay cup.

Naruto smirked at that, while Yasaka knew what they were doing now and sighed hard at their antics.

In order to try settle her beating heart and fraying nerves, Serafall tried to distract herself with a throat clearing, and asking, "Lady Yasaka…"

Yasaka's gaze returned the Satan level devil and Serafall asked. "Can you perhaps introduce me to your guests? I have not yet had the supreme privilege of them yet."

Naruto and Yugito snorted at that, both mirroring one another as they leaned on their right fists, legs still crossed. Yasaka though nodded and gestured to her right, "Ah, forgive me. This is Yugito the Nekomata."

Yugito nodded at her, offering nothing on her face, though her tails swayed slightly behind her when Serafall nodded back.

Yasaka then gestured to her left, "and this, is my own progenitor from a forgotten past, Naruto the Ten-tailed Kitsune."

Naruto nodded, not going to say anything to counteract the kits clear misinformation campaign by stating that. Then again, it isn't completely inaccurate either. It doesn't matter eitherway really.

Serafall went chalk white at that. Yasaka is this kitsune's descendant. That means that the kitsune all have a chance to reach his level of strength. Their must be a very specific way to evolve to the tenth tail which is why none other has ever been able to attain it.

With his return, however, that will likely no longer be a limiting factor. He will likely be training his kin to reach their potential beneath his wings, most likely the youkai all will, so yes, this treaty is a must. Now more than ever.

Serafall promptly bows her head, "It is a pleasure to meet you both. My name is Serafall Leviathan. One of the Four Satan's in charge of diplomatic affairs for the new Devil Faction."

Yugito, the most familiar with the devil's from the stories she had been told of them, spoke up, "That reminds me. From what I have been informed, in regard to your faction, you do not have total control of your people. So, when you say, 'New Devil Faction' you are purposefully ignoring the hardliners, yes?"

Serafall knew this was going to be difficult, but damn, this was taking her beyond her normal level of focus, speaking up, "We are not ignoring them; however, we are currently working to bring them into the fold. They have been resisting our overtures and have sided with enemies known as Khaos Brigade."

Naruto perks up at that name, speaking airily, "Oh, those upstarts who thought I was joking around. The ones who sided with the lizards."

Yakamaru spoke next, reminding the devil she had two others outside her field of view, "Ah, so that's the name of the troublemakers in this age? Guess we should work on wiping them out like that last group."

Gaara nodded, replying. "Indeed. Should be straight forward this time though. Red and Black won't interfere like last time."

Yugito nodded to that, being rather thoughtful, stating. "True. We'll talk about it after we rescue the lost ones. They'll likely have information about their locations. Wipe them out in one go."

"Saves us from a protracted battle," Naruto nodded before looking forward at Yasaka. "Kit, we'll leave back here to you though."

Yasaka fought down the blush with her entire might as it was clear to her that he was playing along with her earlier misinformation, and only nodded once, replying. "It will not be a problem."

Serafall swallowed thickly. The casual way they spoke about dismantling an international terrorist group told of their experience, and the fact that it was their 'pacifist' that suggested that this was not the first time they have done so, referring to their time 'as this age' was terrifying in of itself.

She was dragged from her thoughts by Yasaka, who asked her. "So, what are your plans with your, 'old faction', then, Lady Leviathan? It is a point of contention for us as they are not exactly that keen on our continued existence."

Serafall did not miss the hardening of Naruto or Yugito's eyes at that statement, no doubt both ready to go there and wipe them out for even thinking of harming their descendants. She spoke up. "We are planning another overture next month. This is two-fold as a way to unite our people once more and weaken the Khaos Brigade in the same breath."

Yakamaru nodded to that, approving of peaceful integration between a fractured society. "That is good. Talking can solve many issues where wars would leave scars."

"Only if they are receptive to the idea," Gaara countered, earning another sigh from the turtle who nodded in agreement.

Yasaka clears her throat, regaining the rooms attention. "Is that why you are trying to achieve this treaty now? While you have the council support?"

Serafall again, wanted to just lie and say yes, but her gut feeling told her not to. Even if they did sign one, it is not like all devil kind will respect it. This is largely to escape the wrath of the elder youkai. Not themselves.

Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on who you ask, Naruto spoke up, "Let's just cut the crap, neh?"

All eyes land on the man who had narrowed eyes on the Satan, who gulped nervously under his piercing gaze. Naruto continued, "You were sent by that other guy to stop us from going and ending your entire regime, race, and families in our revenge for the slights you have incurred upon our own, right?"

Yasaka spoke up swiftly, snapping to her fellow kitsune. "Elder!"

Naruto simply glanced at her and she froze, turning forward and lowered head, as he looked back at the lone devil present, Serafall responded firmly. "That is certainly one way to put it."

Naruto nodded slightly, they all expected this after all, so he continued, "So, what is it that you think is going to happen? We gave you all an advance warning already. We are going to recover the lost youkai from your lands. As long as you do not hinder us, them, or attack either of us or them, we will not cause any harm."

None missed the flinch from the devil who hid it well, for a civilian. All four super youkai now narrowed their eyes on the woman, who suddenly felt like she was surrounded by predators. Yugito hissed. "What are you not telling us, devil?"

Serafall did not say anything.

Naruto glanced to his fellows who all had equally solid gazes to himself, and they all nodded as one, realising this week of relaxation has been cut short. Letting out a tight breath, Naruto stood, leading Yugito to her feet too, Naruto informing, "In that case, we are advancing our plans."

The other's nodded, pushing off the walls and standing tall, Naruto looking to Yasaka, "Kit, take care of things here."

Yasaka could only nod back as the four super youkai looked to the still Serafall, Naruto speaking for them, "Time to go, Devil."

Serafall stood silently, before replying, "I just want to say that we are gathering your kin to bring them back to you. That was the order of the four of us Satans."

Yugito responded icily, "Yeah, sure, but how many of your council members are following it?"

Gaara added, having been a Kage with many councils who tried to outwit him, a freaking bijuu, "Councillors are never fully loyal to their leaders. They will always look out for themselves."

Serafall swallowed hard as she was guided outside, all four super Youkai acting as her guards. She had come to try and delay them, only to find out that they were relaxing for a week that she had inadvertently advanced to right now.

She had failed her duty it would seem, and now the underworld was about to receive a very violent wake-up call.

Onoki Planes

Day two of the stand-off between the devil army and the Youkai defence force is reaching is zenith. Kurotsuchi has literally stared down their military encampment with a brief surge of her chakra that melted a trench between the, without even trying to.

Her children, the apes, chimps, and chimpanzees have been running stealth raids across the planes whenever they detect or spot a fleeing Youkai refugee. Then again, they have also picked up a few young, lower class devils who were dragged along by the Youkai friends. They too were rescued.

Despite this all, Kurotsuchi just knew that the recent arrival, an extraordinarily looking pompous creature that arrived less than an hour ago, is going to cause issues. Not for her, nah, but for them. She has already sent her warning about crossing the still molten trench she ws maintaining. Sure these things can fly, but it's their funeral if they pass that heat haze.

Glancing back at her own troops, she notices that they too seem to have felt the shift in the devil's camp and were preparing themselves. Good. Her brats are not stupid. Looking back, arms still crossed, Kurotsuchi wondered what the others were doing about now.

She suddenly got a tick mark, recalling that fools rapping, the bug's yapping, and no doubt that cat's napping. Of course. They'd be relaxing and playing around. Typical.

Kurotsuchi's attention is drawn to the approaching sleaze bag who steps up to the other end of the trench and clears his throat before lifting his chin like some upstart wannabe, speaking with so much arrogance, she thought she could see it, "I am…"

"Don't care bat," Kurotsuchi waved the brat off. "Just stay away from the edge or I'll melt you to sludge."

She shrugged after that, and it was clear that her tone and attitude was not conducive towards this parasite before her. The five tailed lady did not care. She was of Iwagakure no Sato. Rock nin's did not retreat, bend, nor break.

The Will of Stone remains strong within her.

The man opposite frowned, shaking his head in disbelief of this lowly youkai thinking she could order him around. "You seem to be misunderstanding something. We are here to make sure that you understand that this land is under our jurisdiction. You will respect…"

Kurotsuchi snorted, she hasn't been this annoyed since that time the foxes had swapped her shampoo with beetle dung that one time. She paid them back obviously, but then the knucklehead got involved and things got.

Shaking her head, putting those thoughts away for later, Kurotsuchi stared dead in this thing's eyes, "Listen, kiddo, you guys make a single step, I do not like, I will turn the very air you breathe to ash and cinders. No negotiations. No back talk. Just facts. Now fuck off before I melt you."

"You wouldn't dare," the devil hisses back, and it was at this point that the devils will forever remember one of the cardinal rules of dealing with members of the great ten Youkai.

Do not stare at the Tanuki. He will crush you as it makes him feel uncomfortable.

Do not touch the cat; only one man can, and that is clearly not you.

The turtle is patient, but that does not mean it is infinite. Do not cross it.

Whenever dealing with the five-tailed ape, under no circumstances dare her not to do something. Or dare her to do something. She will always, and I mean always, do whatever will be the worst outcome for you on some kind of agreed upon principle that the Youkai all seem to be aware of, but not written down.

It is still under review and recovery is of highest priority.

Thus, Kurotsuchi heard the magic words and smirked a blood thirsty smirk, the area instantly shooting up fifty degrees' then, a hundred, before she whispered, "Oh, this is going to be good…"

Upon that final breath, the devil attempted to leap back only for a magma vent to open up between him and the devil encampment. Kurotsuchi clears her throat and the middle-aged man, fancy clothed noble slowly, and mechanically turned back to see the five-tailed Youkai holding, what appeared to be, a ball of superheated stones.

Upon seeing this bat swallow hard, Kurotsuchi smiled sinisterly, "I dare."

This was the signal as her kids began lobbing flaming rocks, and super heated, condensed balls of lava, magma, and balls of gum like rubber over the molten ground. A few of the devils attempted to fly over the line, to rescue the councilman but their wings were nearly burnt up when the got too close.

Then the thrown rocks began exploding in the air, molten rock shrapnel exploding from the explosions cutting off their aerial advantage.

The battle had begun

Kyoto Youkai District

Serafall was being escorted out of the district, surrounded by the four super powered Youkai as they moved through the gates of the shrine. The many Youkai around were bowing before them or waved from a distance. For the most part, they were returned with nods and smile.

Just before they were about to move towards the boundary line, the four escorts froze abruptly. Serafall was confused before following their gaze to the right and not seeing or sensing anything before she heard the growl from the two Kitsune and Tanuki, the nekomata groaned and hissed.

They all leaped up to the roof, then blurred away, leaving Serafall confused for a moment, before she took flight after them, curiosity overrides her fear for the situation. Something got the attention of these Youkai, and it was enough for them to forget about her.

She lands beside the kitsune's who were standing atop the buildings near the shrine all staring at a particular direction. Glancing around, Serafall noted that the civilians had all been evacuated already, the yellow bricked, red tiled rooftops houses that are seemingly empty now too.

Serafall followed their gazes, focusing her senses just as a portal opened and out stepped one infinity dragon, Ophis, hovering calmly and blank faced as the other super Youkai had arrived, landing in a semicircle around the arrival.

The devil swallowed hard; this was a battle of monsters that she might be a bit too under powered to allow for her involvement. Though, it offered a chance to show their earnest interest in peace with the Youkai.

Naruto spoke though gritted teeth, voice tight yet commanding, "Ophis. You dare show yourself after what your kin have done to mine yet again?"

Ophis nodded once, responding with her normal lack of empathy, "I do. I did not want to come off threatening. I seek only to speak."

The kitsune of ten-tails growled at his tails swaying violently, Naruto snarling. "Speak…? Why do you have to speak to us about…huh, Ophis?"

As he finished, truth-seeking orbs materialising at all the Youkai's backs in various numbers. They played absolute havoc on the devil senses of Serafall Leviathan, but what floored the Satan, was the fact that she saw the Ophis, the dragon of infinity and the voids original inhabitant, take a step back.

Make that three.

Ophis seemed to recover her resolve and responded, a subtle hint of unease within her voice. "I wish to recover the white one. He had not returned on his own and I can now sense that he is here."

Serafall could not believe that she had been able to watch the barely, noticeable, incredibly subtle flinch from the dragon god when all the super Youkai growled menacingly. The scarlet kitsune this time snarled out, "That lizard is still here? We will hunt him down and…"

Naruto cut his fellow off, growling, "I thought that you were warned about the consequences of your kin entering our domain, Ophis."

The little girl looking dragon nodded once, Ophis spoke. "I recall."

"Then, why do you allow the attack on my kin?" Naruto asks firmly. It took a moment for Ophis to respond, simply, "They had been warned. They did not listen. They found out why we warned them."

The silence that followed was tense as thoughts tided over.

Serafall remained a background character as she watched this stand-off, one she will likely never be able to witness again.

Naruto takes a deep breath, before speaking lowly, "Honoka…"

Honoka growls at the unspoken order, clearly not wanting to obey it, until Naruto's simple glance at her and she finally complies, no doubt begrudgingly, allowing the ten-tails to nod at childish looking dragon of the void. Ophis wasted no time in summoning the White dragon from a localised portal, falling onto a invisible floor of energy before her, one arm missing, and looking slightly dazed for a split second.

It did not take long for Vali to notice Ophis, but then his gaze landed on numerous super strong Youkai, then finally landing on the kitsune who was glaring something deathly at him with strange black balls behind him.

Vali growled with his eyes starting to glowing blue, but before he spoke Ophis did, her monotone cutting through his battle haze and bloodlust. "Albion. Did you not hear the warnings regarding these ten existences? Did you not warn this hybrid."

Vali's arm lit up, the white armour of the divine dragon coming into view, Albion informing. "I did Lady Ophis. He, however, decided that he knew better than to listen and along with Crom attacked them. They were both soundly defeated."

Ophis nodded once simply. "Expected."

She then looked at Naruto, continuing, "As you can see, Albion is not to blame for these transgressions. The hybrid is. As for the other one, feel free to end his existence. He did not heed our words and thus we care not for him."

Naruto nodded, accepting that. "Very well. In that case, perhaps a compromise. I do not want to continue our cycle of hatred yours hold for mine, or mine for yours."

Ophis inclined her head, "I recall that concept we discussed prior. What do you propose?"

Much to the surprise of those around him, Naruto abruptly took flight, elegantly and without difficulty, as if gravity itself could not touch him. He glides up to be level with the two dragons, Vali growing incredibly nervous about the proximity. The other of the Legendary Ten joined him in the air but remain at a safe distance.

Naruto stops and looks from Ophis, then to Vali, then down to his gauntlet, then back to the infinite dragon. He finally speaks. "Albion is free of guilt, but this hybrid is not. Why not just separate them and allow them to go about their business separately?"

If Ophis was surprised by the notion, she did not show it, as she pondered that. Vali on the other hand, had a feeling of dread slowly overtake him. If he lost Albion, his power would be greatly diminished and would likely die as a result of his removal. Wait, is that even possible to do.

Naruto's next words terrified him, "I have already dealt with the arrogant red counterpart. He will never return to this plane of existence."

Ophis looked at the fellow immortal, and nodded. "Then I support this decision. What will Albion do otherwise?"

Naruto shrugged, his right arm beginning to glow with power as he prepared to remove the gear. "Not my concern. Maybe try and give him a new body, restore his old one? Not my business. Just ensure to keep your kin in line, or I will allow my kin to run wild, understood?"

Ophis nodded whilst watching the power of the kitsune within his arm, making a note of it's complex structure and wondering if she could match the sheer control on display here. "I will go and remind them after this."

Vali too was fixated on the glowing arm, his senses were going haywire right now, and he was desperately trying to activate a way out. None of his magic was working, nor connecting, it made no sense.

Thankfully his answer was given to him from the infinity dragon, who looked to him, Ophis informing. "Time-space here is locked down. That red vixen has the area sealed so tightly not even I can break through it. She is a pain to fight."

Vali looked around and found the red head that was glaring at him right back, clearly ready to rip him apart, he whispers. "Her…"

A voice so cold, it flash-froze his blood, caught the hybrids attention, Naruto whispering. "Yes. My second in command."

Looking back, the Lucifer-human hybrid was met with the face of absolute murder, those blue eyes told of his future torment but again, it seemed that he was powerless as his body was yanked to an upright position. He was spread eagle, allowing unfettered access to his chest.

Naruto nodded to Ophis for the assistance before he floated forward, standing within arms reach of his target, though it seemed both Ophis and Serafall were more than a little intrested in this procedure and had approached his sides, all their senses trained on this.

Naruto raised his right arm and slowly thrusted it into Vali's chest, descending farther than physically possible as he reached his elbow, but did not burst out the other end. Ophis could clearly see where the arm went and the various intricate movements of the kitsune.

Leviathan could sense the reaction to his movements but not the movements themselves nor could she see everything in its entirety. Though, what she was sensing was mind boggling in of itself. Even more so on the biological front.

Vali wasn't in pain but could feel the power Albion had granted him diminish by the second, like being aware that he was losing his sight without losing it. His body was growing tired and his mind a haze.

For Albion, this was a totally different experience, as if a hand was pulling him together and cradling him gently as if a hatchling. A random thought on that, as in the eyes of this ancient kitsune he was likely considered as such despite being so long lived himself. A truly novel experience indeed.

Naruto frowned as this was taking far long than he wanted. The red dragon was rather simple. Most of his power was concentrated in his arm or core. Pulling it out was rather simple. This one, however, was far more integrated. The power was all throughout the hybrid's being.

Abruptly Ophis came forward and placed her hand on his arm, channeled her power into the technique and the fragments all began to collect rapidly, without any further effort on Naruto's part.

Once done, Naruto slowly, and carefully pulled out a humming blue orb with no residual energy or power leaking from it to the host, unlike with the red one which they were then forced to collect up manually.

All eyes stared at the orb for a solid moment. Serafall was bewildered by what she had sensed, and the effect of the kitsune and infinite dragon combined power could achieve. It was a good thing these two were both antagonistic to one another, even if they are far more civil about it then most, or she doubted anything would ever be able to beat them.

The silence was broken by a very long yawn from the gem, Albion muttering, "That was… something interesting… I never thought I would be free like this…"

Naruto handed the orb to Ophis who took it, but when they both touched it, there was a brief surge that forced Naruto's hand off the spherical object. Naruto growled at the dragon soul, but Ophis raised her hand, stating. "I will discipline."

Naruto nodded. "Fine, but if he steps out of line even once, I will end him."

He then looked to the limp form of the hybrid and pondered what to do with it. He had no real need for him, nor was he pertinently interested in his fate either. Shrugging, Naruto called out, "Aeriana!"

The human form dragon maid known as Aeriana appeared, her purple scaled dragon wings proudly out, that actually surprised both Ophis and Albion, as the new arrival bowed before Naruto. "Yes, Master Naruto."

Naruto pointed to the half-human, half-devil thing, "Take him to the kit in the shrine. Have her decide his fate. I don't really care at this point."

Aeriana nodded, and flew over and retrieved the one-armed half-devil, and flew off back to the shrine, when Ophis finally spoke, "My kin?"

Naruto glanced at her. "I told you, did I not? I am not keen on the idea of this hatred between us. She is just a means to that end."

Ophis nodded, as she looked to the red vixen, "May I leave now, please?"

Honoka glanced at Naruto, who nodded, so she nodded at the infinite dragon god, who sensed the lockdown lift, and nodded her thanks before, looking to the kitsune, Ophis stating, "See you soon."

Naruto quirked a brow with a low growl, "I wouldn't if I were you."

Ophis nodded, as she opened the portal, but Naruto had to ask, "Ophis," drawing the dragon's attention, as he pointed to her frame, "What's with this get up? Normally…"

"Felt like it. Is it not suitable for you?"

Naruto waved that off, looking away from the pitite form. "Do not even joke like that or I will have to remind you the last time you tried to sneak attack my den."

Ophis nodded once, rubbing her flat stomach recalling those very dangerous maulers. "I recall."

Naruto nodded as she finally turned and left with the blue orb in hand.

With that done with, Naruto looks to Serafall who only now remembered her position in all this and gulped.

Gremory Estate Grounds

Sirzechs and Grayfia exit the main building, his parents following, as he comes face to face with the joint Gremory and Asmodius family militaries, that he was planning on using to pull the council forces back from the Kong territory.

Just as he goes to speak, the Phenex arrive with a full brigade, Ruval Phenex dropping down as their leader, "Sorry we are late, Lucifer-sama."

Sirzechs nodded, "It is fine. We were about to head out ourselves. Any word from the others?"

Ruval nodded once, "Lord Falbium is currently meeting up with the Agares, Sitri, and possibly the remaining houses willing to aid us."

"It's the best we can hope for," Sirzechs mumbled as he looks over at the gathering force, nodding once before speaking aloud, "This, is not a drill. Understand this… if we fail to force our fellow devils away from Kong territory we will launch into a war that will end us outright. These new Youkai are old. Older than even the dragon elders. Older than even the biblical god. Thus, far, far stronger."

That send chills through the entire gathered army, Sirzechs continued, "As such, they will not hesitate to wipe us out if we are deemed too much a threat to their younger counterparts. We must assuage their fear of us by any means necessary. If you spot a youkai in trouble, rescue them. If you see one in need of food, gift them some. This is a long campaign that…"

Every resident in the underground froze in unison and totality upon sensing the other worldly level of killing intent, power, and the utter guttural roar that traveled the world over. Twice.

Sirzechs paled to match his wife's hair, though she too had also. They both knew this intent, and that roar.

It was him.

Sirzechs turned slowly to Ruval, who looked back at him and was unnerved by the chalk white appearance of the leader of the devil race, the first super ultimate class devil that has surpassed all before him. This reaction. Did it have to do with this uncomfortable amount of killing intent that is now hanging around?

His thoughts and heart dropped upon the Satan's next words, Sirzechs whispering yet it travelled. "We… we were too late."

Onoki planes

Kurotsuchi just bulldozed through another gathering of bats, their magic bouncing off her harmlessly, and she casually pulled up the ground and threw it at another group. The chunk of earth splattered twenty, wounded almost double that, as it was the size of a football field that she goosed casually.

Just as she was preparing to call forth her magma breath, Kurotsuchi felt it. The arrival of her kin, and then the heavy blast of killing intent sent excited shudders up her spine, then that roar was panty wetting and she really wanted to break things, like a lot of things, right now, destroy a civilisation or two perhaps and thankfully these bats were being ever so generous as to come before her.

Her grin was damn right demonic, and this is coming from devils of the underworld. Yet she was denied when a very familiar, 'thunk' rang out and caused her to pout, just as the very familiar silver flashes flow over the battle ground.

As usual, not one of the two hundred or so, give or take ten or twenty, remaining survived the flashes that stoped at her front, that goofy grinning face of that stupid fox, "Sorry I'm late, got lost on…"

Kurotsuchi punched at him, magma coating her fist, at supersonic speed that he effortlessly ducked, then blocked her raising knee, and popped up again, still grinning as she hated. Yet before she could get any angrier, he pecked her lips with his own before he jumped back, and now she was going to skin him alive. "You punk! Taking a maiden's lips like that!"

Naruto quirked a brow, still grinning like his name's sake, "Maiden? You? If I recall…"

He ducked aside, avoiding the superheated rock wave, before commenting further, "I mean, that time in…"

The ground erupted in a gyzer of molten metal that was also avoided, as he landed beside her, hands in pocket smirking, "Fine. I won't bring up that other freaky time either."

Her next fist was caught by Kirabi, who looked between the two, grinning like a fool too, "Ah, that was rather…"

"Don't…" Kurotsuchi looked damn right murderous glancing back into the shades of the eight tails, who actually shuddered under that stare. "Be cool, be silent so none know we are the client."

A molten fist smacked Kirabi from behind sending him face first into the dirt ahead of them, and the former Iwagakure kage huffed, and folded her arms, unashamedly mumbling about just having a healthy appetite and appreciating the male form.

Naruto would have sweat dropped if he thought he'd get away with it. He wouldn't so he didn't, so stayed perfectly still until the kunoichi looked to him with a brow raised, "So, what brings you here?"

Naruto was swift in the reply, "Well, heard that many of our kin are here that need rescuing from the bats."

He said bats with so much venom, Kurotsuchi wondered if Utakata had given him pointers, but spoke up, "We do, and they have all been making their way here."

Naruto nodded but remind silent as now Kirabi had rejoined them, so Kurotsuchi continued, "Problem is? As great as my kids are, they aren't the stealthiest nor the fastest. Strong and sturdy, without question, but stealth is more that cat's domain."

Naruto and Kirabi nodded to that, it goes without saying, so the five tails continued. "Though, from what we have learned from the ones we managed to make it here, was that the bats are hunting them down for fabricated offences. Entire families are being rounded up and detained."

The two men got incredibly serious at that, looking to one another, then back at the five tailed gorilla, Naruto speaking up, "We shall move forward with a multi-pronged, rolling fist then. Yugi and Fu are already pushing forward to scout out the path. Han will be here soon, then, with the three of us, will lead the charging fist."

Kurotsuchi grinned, finally able to unwind from all this defensive play, but that reminded her, "What about that squirt?"

Naruto sighed at that, Kirabi though pointed to the defensive lines, "Sandy will be handing out candy, for smooth sailing with no claying."

Kurotsuchi nodded before looking back at Naruto, "then, when do we start?"

Naruto grinned as he glanced back to see Han land with them, all of them now grinning, as he looks at Kurotsuchi, eyes vibrant and bloodthirsty, "Right now!"

Grigori Headquarters

The place as hive of activity. It wasn't just the headquarters, but their whole territory was in a massive hive of chaotic activity. Civilians evacuated deeper within safety bunkers and zones, all combat forces activated and deployed territory wide.

Within the main headquarters the only thing you could hear was the shouts of orders from the higher ranked officers, but they were broken up by the loudspeakers repeatedly, "Scramble! Scramble! This is not a drill! Scramble!"

Baraqiel barges into Azazel's office to witness him finish arming up in his old war armour, clearly ready for a battle unlike anything they have seen since ever. Baraqiel spoke first, "Initial reports suggest that it's them. The few refugees have only confirmed this."

Azazel nodded, reaching for a locked cabinet, but pauses. No. Bringing such a weapon will send the wrong message. Though, not having it and needing it to defend himself. No. Even with it. His defences would not hold out against this level of strength.

Finally, the Arch Angel of Lust turns to his friend and colleague, Azazel spoke surpringly calmly. "How many of these refugees can fly?"

"A handful at most," Baraqiel reports decisively. "Though will likely need to be carried if we wish to maintain speed."

Azazel nodded; it was understandable in the state most were in. "Get a pair, and get them geared up, we move in five."

Baraqiel nodded once, and departed. This was not a time to dally, and no doubt even their cousins in heaven are sensing this potent power engulfing the entire underworld.

Heaven 7th Level

Michael and Uriel stare down at the chaos unfolding in the underworld with growing concern. The devil military is deploying in a scattered and disorganised manner. Their Fallen brethren are mobilising every single soldier they have with no clear direction, evacuating civilians, and a heavy weight energy is permeating the air.

Even from here, they could sense the loathing and deathly intent.

This is when Raphael enters and the two other seraphim look to him as he reports, "Nothing. No report on this Ten-tailed kitsune."

Michael frowns but Uriel speaks, "Is that even possible? A creature that even our father did not know of?"

Raphael nodded, face of perfect impassiveness. "It would appear that is the case, yes."

Uriel looked to Micheal as did Raphael, asking "What shall we do? This clear that our allies are undergoing a large-scale operation."

Michael could see that, but what was bugging him was that they couldn't see what exactly the issue was, so looked to Raphael, "Raphael, go and ask our brother for details. I do not want to think that he is ignorant of our concerns."

Raphael nodded before vanishing in a flash of light, leaving Michael to look to Uriel, "Prepare our forces. No doubt there is a reason for such a build up, and I do not wish to be caught off-guard."

Uriel nodded, firmly, "I believe it is prudent, but leave Metatron alone and out of this."

Michael nodded distractedly as he continued to observe the underworlds chaos, trying to understand what in his father's light is going on down there.

Veisra Town

Panic. The only way to describe the normally peaceful idyllic town on the fringes of devil civilisation. Beyond this town were the largely untouched and undeveloped areas of the underworld and the Youkai region claimed by the Kong clan.

That was until a few days ago when a council issued army as deployed here which out the residence on edge. Then two days later, a portion of them set off and have since not been heard from. Until a few minutes ago. The advance team had been wiped out and the enemy is tracing them back.

When that news spread; the civilians were rushing to evacuate the town. It's new garrison were fortifying their positions for any possibility. It would not be enough.

This would be the site of a reckoning that would cause a major shift to devil nature and create even more havoc and destruction for many people, innocent and guilty alike will suffer and the hands of others wills, at no fault of their own. Ally and foe alike will shift and make the destruction and death spiral over the coming generations and give a glimpse to the end times.

Though one truth will always echoe in the hearts of the devil race by the days end. Do not, under any circumstances, challenge or force their will upon others for the Youkai will not stand quiet. Pray and beg, for their gods will not aid you nor will they offer any mercy for they had already been forewarned of the swift retaliation that will follow.

All parties were closing in from various vectors, with different objectives, and it will all clash in the skies, and on the ground of this once peaceful town.

Naruto, Kirabi, Han, and Kurotsuchi stand off in the near horizon, observing the fortified town ahead of them which Fu had told them of earlier. All the nearby miltary camps they had already trampled leading them to this point. Yugito had already reported to have evacuated the few hiding Youkai among the population, so they were cleared to wreck the place, and break through to the next town.

Naruto looked to Han, who looked back and grinned, before both look to Kirabi, who smirked as his shades gleam as he pushes them up. Upon his nod, Naruto looked to knuckle cracking Kurotsuchi who was ready to explode right now, and the two share a nod.

Naruto looked back toward the town and let out a white flamed laced breath, face breaking into a bloodthirsty, malice-laced grin. "Time to teach these bats the consequences of kidnapping our kin."

Han let out a deep breath too, the steam was super heated and scorched the ground at his feet, "Smash through their puny defences and stomp them into dust."

Kurotsuchi spat out a ball of magma off to the side, declaring. "Turn them to ash and rebuild."

Kirabi chuckled, shaking his head in his typical cool man way. "And push for a new day so we all be cool, Okay! Yeah!"

With that roar, the four transform into their combat forms, not their full size, but rather matching their predecessors. More combat focused and easier to use their base combat moves. No need for their advanced shinobi techniques just their natural animal attacks should work fine. Maybe a bit overkill, but like all pyromaniacs, none of them cared to check.

Their joint roar shook the area and drew the attention of the defenders who saw the four super Youkai appear on the horizon. The kitsune they were warned of, all silvery white and it's ten tails waving behind it. The horned horse standing at the front, white too and standing tall among steam that seemed to escape its entire form.

Beside the horse, a bull with rippling, bulging muscles, dark purple-brownish skin, eight, thick tails with thick horns, and a thick nose. Lastly, the large red ape waving around five tails in the back grinning menacingly.

The commanding devils gulped along with their subordinates, before barking out orders though a few froze upon seeing the bull and horse preparing to charge. Both tapping the ground with their hooves, shaking the earth beneath them each time.

This distracted them from the two at the rear, that had gathered boulders and Kurotsuchi was imbuing lava into them, where as Naruto was charging his chakra into his throat. The second she threw the boulders high, in a parabolic arc to cover the town, Naruto breathed his flames to ignite them and set the timer.

A perfectly timed collaboration between the two they have used many times in the past. It made super effective anti-air during their war with the dragons. Capable of plunging or direct fire. Also doubles as long ranged artillery with explosive results and the devils were about to learn this the hard way.

Streaks of flame rocks filled the air, causing defensive barriers to go up, as the boulders finally begin to fall, reaching their top speed, they abruptly explode into a much smaller, far more numerous splitters that fall at speed of their original shape.

These rock splinters shred through the barrier and devastate the entire town, as if a hundred, thousand-pound bombs just carpeted the area, setting fires, punching through and collapsing buildings. The defenders who survived the initial attack witnessed the already airborne second volley, and their will to fight was washed away, and distracted them from the two charging Youkai.

A few of the older, noble house devils noticed them and lashed out with whatever spell they could think of, from water bullets, to ice shards, and even a few lightning strikes but they simply bounced off the charging duo. Completely ineffective.

The resulting smash, sent concrete, metal, mortar, and man flying hundreds of metres in all directions. The ground shuddered from the impacts, forcing many to the floor or to the sky. Those that escaped upwards assumed them to be safe. Again. They were wrong.

Airburst rock fragments from the ape and fox shredded through the air borne troops, as the bull and horse trashed the town underfoot. The superheated gasses incinerated anything unfortunate enough to get caught in it. The eight tails swayed around, knocking down structures and people alike.

The roars were what Sirzechs came upon. As his forces arrived, they watched the devil forces there, the ones they were supposed to stop, get stumped underfoot, or those in the air be shredded to pieces by exploding, flame coated rocks. This wasn't a fight, but a systematic annihilation.

He as cursing himself for not moving faster. But his thoughts were cut through by Ruvel, who called out. "Lord Lucifer! Incoming!"

Snapping up, Sirzechs see's a massive boulder, engulfed in blue flames, falling towards his troops. Powering up his destructive magic, he blasts the thing out the sky. Only for it to explode and rain down even more shards of molten rock.

"Scatter!" He orders and they do so, but more than a quarter of his forces are injured or killed by the falling debris.

This is what Azazel arrived to see. A massive explosion of rock that shattered and shredded a flying devil army. The town ahead of them was ablaze with two of those new Youkai tearing it apart from the inside.

Beyond the walls however was the kitsune and ape, who were igniting rocks and throwing them in a high arch to explode above flying forces to shred the area with an airburst of flaming rocks. Ingenious use of physics and momentum paired with magic and chakra.

Azazel was brought out of his thoughts by the potent killing intent levelled at him, coming from all four Youkai. Blinking. He notices they were all staring at him and his forces, and that ape had another boulder in hand, waiting for something.

He realises then, they do not know what they are or what they are doing here most likely. So, they are playing the wait and see. Nodding to himself, Azazel was about to speak, but a new voice did in a monotone. "Why are you here, Raven?"

Turning around, Azazel saw only his forces, but they were all looking above him. So he does to, only to find a green haired, slim framed, caramel skinned woman hovering there silently, and staring at him with bright orange compound eyes. She was calm and unbothered, detached could be used to describe the vibe the Fallen Angel was getting.

He blinked, who and how did she get so close without any of them noticing until she spoke. Is she one of them? A bug of some kind. Oh right, he recalls now. One of the super Youkai was the seven tailed bug. This must be her human form.

Clearing his throat, Azazel spoke, "My name is General Governor Azazel. Leader of the Fallen Faction, and currently myself and my forces are here to render assistance to an ally. However, we are unsure of the situation thus, can you please bring us up to speed so I can decide what to do to solve this issue without any more bloodshed."

The woman wore a frown as seemed to think on that for a moment, drifting away from them elegantly, to put some distance between herself and them. This made Azazel nervous. He had seen how effective their anti-air was against the first devil group. The fact that she has put such a distance between them, suggests they have already got them locked in.

She turned her back and faced the others, letting out clicks and clacks, which is when Azazel barely caught the flickering of her wings. They were moving at such a high frequency that they seemed to become invisible. He himself could only catch brief movements of them, only blurs.

A loud neigh brought Azazel out of his observations, to the horned horse below that was breathing out steam of some kind. Then a loud roar from the kitsune followed. The woman seemed to nod, understanding whatever was said and she turned back to Azazel, "We can sense our own among your numbers. We will talk with them before deciding anything."

Azazel nodded, looking back at his flock, who brought through a few Youkais, one was a beetle that chirped excitedly upon seeing the mint haired woman, who herself smiled at that chatter. The other two were parrot-kin, taken for their vibrant feathers and rarity.

The Governor general watched as the beetle-kin clacked and clicked at such a high-speed, that it was impossible to attempt to make sense of it. The youkai leader just nodded every so often and return clacks even less so.

After a full minute, they fell silent. The air was tense as it seemed the woman was contemplating what she had heard. A full minute before the green haired woman nodded again, clacking to which the beetle-kin nodded back, and together they took the struggling Parrots, and moved off from the fallen group.

Azazel tensed, prepared to dive out of the way until the woman turned back, and nodded, "Please wait here. I will inform the others that you are a neutral party and not to be harmed."

Azazel nodded as he left out a breath of relief, catching his soldiers all doing the same, not that he blamed them. He nodded to acknowledge, and she flew off at speed, with the refugees,

This is when he spots Sirzechs and his troops regrouping below, the Satan staring up at him, and he signals stay down and wait. A visible sight of him taking a deep breath, before nodding, allowed Azazel to look over to see the kitsune on his hunches, clearing looking at something.

This is what Raphael arrived to see, a flock of Fallen off to one side, seemingly waiting for something. A ruined devil town currently being trampled on by two super powerful Youkai, if his senses were accurate, with that kitsune from the other day sitting nearby, and devil army units attempting to escape from the town.

It was very confusing.

Following his instructions from Micheal, Raphael makes a discreet flight over to his target, who watches his approach carefully, Azazel speaking up once he got close, "Raphael. What brings you here alone no less?"

Raphael glanced around at the situation, "We can't see what has been happening. All we know is that you have deployed your entire force. We have come to ask why."

Azazel blinked at that. They did not know anything. Oh boy. This is either tragic or hilarious. Taking a calming breath, Azazel decided to enlighten his brother, "Well, Raphael, this is what I have gathered this far…"

Gremory Estate

Since the departure of former house member Sirzechs, and the bulk of the Gremory military forces, the entire estate has been in lock down to ensure the safety of the family within. The remaining military units are on full alert and are spread out all over the estate ground in randomised patrols.

Didn't stop Yugito from sneaking in with her kitten Kuroka, as they slipped into the room holding the current heiress and her best friend and queen. As they land with the silences afforded by their cat like grace, Kuroka moved to the door and placed a privacy and barrier seal tag.

Once activated, Yugito pulled a scroll from her belt and unraveled it to reveal a reverse summoning seal. As she starred at it, she sighs aloud. "The things I do for you adorable kittens of mine."

Kuroka smiled and bounced in place, "But fore mother, we are so adorable though? Are we not?"

She sticks her tongue out and Yugito play glares at her, as she places the scroll on the floor. "Careful. I will call your father to discipline you."

Kuroka giggled as her tails wave, "If you say so, nya. I think I could give him a good time…"

Yugito actually hissed at her, "Not before I shred you to pieces, you won't."

Kuroka actually took a step back, and nodded silently, before the puff of smoke and there stood Koneko, confused momentarily before noticing the president, asleep on the bed.

A quick glance at her back shows her fore mother nod to confirm she was good to go, and Koneko followed the elder cat along with Kuroka as they approached the unconscious duo.

Yugito takes a deep breath. "Take my tails within yours. This technique is one of the ones I picked up from my other half. I can't do it via chakra and proximity like he can."

Upon feeling each of the kittens take a tail each, Yugito went through the mental process of getting set, before going through six-hand signs quickly, "Yamanaka secret art: Mental connection."

Her right hand began glowing a soft dark blue, and she places it back on the mind's eye of the devil heiress. The effects were immediate.

Rias's Mindscape

Koneko parts her eyes to find the entire ORC standing before them on the ORC main clubroom. All sitting around as if this was a normal day at school, uniforms and all. Both sides blinked at one another unsure what was going on.

Yugito broke the stretching silence, looking at the white haired kitten. "Go ahead, kitten. This is what you wanted right?"

Koneko looked back up and nodded, "Yes. Thank you, Fore mother."

She steps forward and the others look to one another before looking back, Rias speaking up, "Koneko? How? Do you know what's going on?"

Koneko shakes her head, before speaking up, "We are in your mind, President."

Rias looked confused, glancing around at Kiba, Akeno, Asia, Xenovia, and Issei, who all look back just as confused. "Then, why is everyone else here too?"

It was Kuroka who answered the question. "Most likely as you are the king, they your pieces. The feedback loop from the piece extraction from Shirone snapped you all here. Just a guess though..."

Akeno thought on that, it kinda made sense but also raised more questions than answers, "Then, how are you here? If you don't have your piece?"

Yugito raised her hand, explaining, "We snuck into your bedroom, in your family estate, so that my kitten here can talk to you all. Right now, I am using one of my techniques to allow this meeting."

Issei eyed them warily, speaking distatefully. "A technique huh? Like the one that took my gear and arm from me, huh?"

The three cats look to the one-armed Issei, he looked like a shell of his former self, with Yugito responding, "No. What my partner used to do that is something beyond my own current abilities. Maybe in the next age I'll learn it, or the cycle after that. Who knows."

Xenovia speaks up, eyes narrowed on the tallest blonde, "You speak like you are unbothered by the world around you."

Yugito shrugged again, "I was here before your gods, before your races walked the earth, and even the race before that walked the world. I will be here after the fact too. That is how old we are."

That really unsettled them all, were they even bugs to these individuals? No they weren't. It was Rias who spoke, hollow and vacant of life, "That – did we ever have a chance?"

Yugito chuckled softly, shaking her head with her reply as equally so. "No. not really. Though, that is not why we are here. As of right now, my friends have begun their assault on your country. We do not have much time."

All the devils tensed at that, except for Xenovia who raised a brow, Yugito continued though, "As the forward team, my job is to locate and rescue any Youkai ahead of their charge. Right now, however, my kitten has asked of me to meet you all again, for a few words. So do not waste my time."

All eyes fall to Koneko, who spoke up, "I do not hate you. I do not wish for your demise. I have asked my grandpa and he said that he will think about bringing you back to Kyoto if things get bad."

Rias growled as she stands, glaring at her former Rook. "Bad? Koneko, they are destroying our home! How can you ask that of us?"

Kuroka narrowed her eyes on the redhead. Though Koneko shook her head, speaking softly and reserved. "No, that is not it. Listen."

Akeno stopped Rias, with an arm, as she looked back to the small cat, soft smile and tone. "Explain Koneko…"

Koneko nodded, smiling at her sempai, "Grandpa is super strong. Scout not needed. He is making a big scene to draw attention to outskirts."

Kiba caught on, "To draw attention to himself so the scouts can recover everyone and reduce the casualties on both sides. Right?"

Koneko nodded firmly, pointing at the knight. "That."

Akeno too nodded, understanding, before looking back at the now relaxed Rias, who can see what was going on now. Tactically, everyone is on edge and won't likely see through the ploy. The queen states, "See. It isn't as bad as we thought."

Rias nodded, looking to her then at Issei, and frowning, then at the unknown blonde, "If that's the case, why did your friend take the Red Dragon Emperor? He wasn't a threat."

Yugito snorted, jabbing a thumb at the former vessel of the Red Dragon Emperor, "Please. An idiot like that with that kind of power? Do not insult my intelligence. Besides. We already dealt with white one too. Niether will be an issue so get over yourselves."

Eyes were wide at that. Issei slack jawed, muttering, "You killed both of them?"

Yugito glanced at the boy, speaking clipped. "Vali is being held until he is sentenced but has had his gear removed from his persons and handed over to Ophis, in order to help facilitate peace between us. Both have received warnings that any further action on their part will result in punishment them both."

Everyone looked at her incredulously, beside Koneko and Kuroka, who knew this already, Akeno muttered. "You threatened the infinity dragon?"

Yugito nodded firmly, "We did. And can live up to it too."

She giggled recalling their last run in, before chuckling out, "You should have seen it last time. Ophis tried sneaking into Naru's den when we were… umm… anyway…"

She blushed recalling what she was doing there, and the others seemed to understand that too, gaining tints of red to their cheeks of various shades. Kuroka and Akeno both though seemed to enter a dream state, imagining being dominated by that overwhelming power of the kitsune.

Rias did too but was far more discreet than the others. Yugito hissed threateningly drawing all eyes to her. She cleared her throat, before continuing, "…as I was saying, Ophis tried to sneak up and Naru reacted like light itself. The following beat down and the ferocity displayed was… well…"

She began biting her lip, and allowing her mind to wonder as her thighs began rubbing, before Kiba's very loud throat clearing drew the woman's attention back to the room from erotica lala land, and he asks, "So, what did Koneko want to ask of us? Just to come with her? We've all been stuck here since…"

"It's been a few days since," Kuroka added from the window pane, looking back at the group, "Two days actually."

The trapped group all nodded, Koneko spoke up, "So, if you want to be with us, just come and see my fore mother or grandpa."

Rias asked, brow raised. "Grandpa?"

Yugito taking this one, "What she calls my partner. It is rather cute watching them interact. Especially in that meadow. You were so small and cute, playing with the other little ones."

Yugito basically squealed causing Koneko to flush red in embarrassment, though her friends looked on amused. Yugito continued, "oh, I think this is how you do it."

All eyes fall to her and there was a small screen appearing out of no where. Everyone watched as it flicked and a video of some kind began to appear. Everyone was amazed until Koneko rushed forward and pulled on the older cats battle dress, "Fore mother! You promised!"

Yugito smirked, "Nah ah! I did not. You didn't even know I could do this,"

Koneko hung her head breifly before look back up at her, a dangerous gleam entered her eyes that Yugito recognised, and did not like the look of.

While that was going on, the others watched as a bunch of baby foxes were playing in beautiful meadow, they caught sight of the two super-powered foxes, relaxing on the side. Suddenly, a very familiar white kitten jumped on top of the ten-tails, sharing words that sounded like, "Can I learn too, Grandpa?", before it hopped off and rushed into the pack of young foxes, play fighting. It as soon joined by another.

It was the definition of cute. None were spared. The girls all squealed, Kiba and Issei had to thump their chests repeatedly, not to break their bro codes, but agreed to the sight of absolute cuteness.

Xenovia was more than a little interested in the area though. She didn't recognise the place or anything, but the surroundings looked perfect. Like the rolling hills of home.

Everyone was brought back to Yugito's face of horror as she whispered, "You wouldn't…"

Koneko looked just as firm, tail stiff as a sword, as she glared at her fore mother, "You know grandpa will do whatever I ask…"

It was tense for a good ten seconds, before the scene vanished and Yugito huffed, "You are brave, kitten. I give you that."

Koneko nodded before turning back with a puffed-up chest, until Yugito's next words reached her ears, "Guess, we can up your training then."

Koneko paled and Kuroka grinned, "Oh, how the mighty have fallen…"

Rias clears her throat, getting everyone attention, looking at the oldest cat in the room, "May I ask, how do we get out of here?"

Yugito shrugged, "Dunno. It isn't why I came here. Nor did I care to check. I am not the medic, nor mental warfare expert."

Kiba gulped, "Mental warfare expert?"

Yugito glanced at him, "All wars happen in the physical, mental, and emotional worlds. Mastering them all is the most effective way of crushing your enemy in such totality, that a scar so deep, that even their descendants dare not approach on basic, fundamental principle, is formed. Be greatful we are not unleashing our full might upon you."

Kiba swallowed those nuggets of information hard. These beings have lived threw cycles of humanity and more than likely know how to wage an effective war better than anyone else. He nodded, "I thank you for the advice."

Yugito nodded before looking to her two kittens, "Come on you two. Time to head back to our bodies. We still need to head to the Sitiri area."

Rias jumped up, "What about us?"

Yugito sighed, and was just going to ignore her until Koneko used her kitten eyed jutsu on the elder cat, whispering, "Please, grandmama…"

Yugito huffed and glared at the upstart, "You have a long way to go to try that on me. Who do you think invented that?"

Koneko pouted, and Kuroka cackled at that attempt, shaking her head. Sighing again, Yugito glanced back at the redhead, "Fine. As a favour to you as you helped my kitten survive until we awoke."

"What does that mean?" Xeoniva muttered, only Kuroka to frown and responded flatly, "Several Youkai clans had been wiped out at this point. Including the nekomata's, and Nekosho's, sister clan. That is all I will say."

The devils swallowed spit as Yugito went through hand signs, stopping on the ram, looking directly at Rias, stating. "Remember, you owe me."

And the whole Mindscape went dark.

A/N: Trying to figure out where to take this.

2nd A/N: Tried to fix the stuff i heard listening to it back. No promises of getting it all though.

For the record. Naruto and Yugito are the foreparents of the Nekomata/Nekosho races however are so far back in the family tree that it predates said tree. Like, several ages ago. Same with Naruto and Honoka. Even if indirect, if Yasaka as indeed their direct descendant, it was well before even the gods were born or whatever.

So when Koneko refers to Naruto as "Grandpa" it was just what she feels comfortable referring to him with. Not actually her grandpa, same with Kuroka. That being said, Naruto and the crew have a very different mindset to their younger counterparts and at current, not really sure about anything so pairings outside the already suggested ones spoke by the characters is in the air.

So, Naruto and yugito are kinda an off/on thing. We've all been there so don't try and deny it. Same with Honoka and Naruto. Both being kitsune kinda helped in that regard.

I won't say anything about Kurotsuchi. Figure it out. Plenty of suggestions from the by-play she had with the others.

The others have similar exploits.

Yes, M.A.D.B, I am watching you too. Check your mailbox, I replied. No, I could be lazy and do that, but Naruto is not the sole progenitor of them all. I was tempted, I really was, but no. I will only confirm the current ones, NarutoxYugito(Neko) and NarutoxHonoka(Kitsune). The others will be revealed as the story goes on. They'll make sense.

After some more destructive might, I plan on bringing things back to regular slice of life stuff kinda. Other pantheons will start showing up, and the dragons kick out Chom for being reckless. With everything settled and the Khaos Brigade dsibanded by Ophis, upon orders from the kitsune, the group begin to go their seprate ways again. Doing their own thing.

Crom tries to sneak attack Naruto's den but is caught by Ophis who is tired of his shit, and ends him then and there.

I read all the comments/Reviews.
