MichaelTheFox: True, but LuLu World being destroyed would have killed Lucifer.
Gamelover41592: Thank you.
Bednarczykmiki: I googled good Valentine's Day food and wine, and that popped up. I chose it because yeah, it looks and sounds delicious. You have NO idea.
DaftMerc39: Glad you like all of our Halloween art. Check out the new stuff. Dio IS hilarious. Charlie IS strong, we all know that. Yes, but at 13, its embarrassing being handed a box of condoms. Hehe… nice.
Freedomringer: That is fucking awesome and I didn't even plan that out. It just came to me. I don't think that lighting can be caught in another bottle, but hopefully, I can at least get a spark.
Ravage88atlas: Well, it's Hanayama. We shall see. Well, training… Hm… I am sure it won't happen since Hanayama doesn't train. In Baki, he never trained/sought greater strength. The strength he was born with is enough for him.
Jebest4781: Thank you.
MisterWritter1994: I do believe you will love and hate me after this fight for ONE scene in particular.
MEATBICYCLE: DIO is DIO. LOL, Lucifer and Saitama be jelling like best buds. I hate the build up and then no sneeze. I actually DID entertain that idea, BUT… I am very happy with what I did with this fight. I hope you do too.
ZeroTheOne: Well, this story currently takes place 20 years before Hazbin Canon, SO… about 15 years before we get to Vaggie.
ShadowBloodedge9396: Okay. I really hope I did good by Hanayama, he is one of my favorite Baki Characters, so… yeah, I hope. Last chapter was a blast, but this one was absolute FUN!
Kreiger Techpreist: HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!
Rio Skyron: I don't know this Shishido… but he sounds like a Badass.
WolfKingdom: Kizaki is Hanayama's right hand man. Well… here you go.
HAHAHA: Charlie seems ready to spend as much time as needed to help people redeem themselves as she IS a demon and I feel it is implied she can love a LONG time.
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HAZBIN HOTEL!
"Hey" = Speaking
'Hey' = Thinking

Chapter 14: Yakuza, Like an Ogre
LooLoo Land…
Naruto shakily pushed himself up.
Blood from his head dripped onto the ground.
His head was spinning from the pain.
"Rel… releasing Control…" Naruto gasped. "Art Restriction … System Level 4 to Level 3…"
Hanayama felt Naruto's magic swell.
It was as if the air itself was affected by this as Naruto stood up, his injuries beginning to heal, but the blood remaining as black rings began to appear around Naruto's eyes. His pupils gained a thick horizontal line, making it look like a plus sign as his tail, which swayed calmly, split into three.
"Ability restrictions lifted for limited use…" Naruto continued, releasing the noble's wrist. "Until the enemy is rendered…" His eyes narrowed, grabbing his sword. "Silent."
"Not that impressive up close." Hanayama said as he flexed, his suit shredding itself, revealing his muscular physique as he wore a loincloth underneath.
Scars.
Scars littered his body.
Bullets.
Blades.
And across his back was a Yakuza style tattoo.
It was of an Ogre, similar to Hanayama himself, carrying a large Japanese style bell on his back. The numerous blade wounds received over his many fights makes the tattoo resemble a mismatched puzzle or a broken piece of glass.
Naruto didn't really care as he and Hanayama took stances.
Hanayama took a stance with NO defensive posture.
Naruto stood in a way that would allow him to swing his big sword at full force with little to no resistance from how heavy it was.
So focused on the demon before him, Naruto didn't notice Mirko get handcuffed by Hanayama's men.
The two were still.
Like living statues.
The world around them was nothing but a blur as the workers of LooLoo Land ran away.
"HOLD IT!"
"Oh boy." Kizaki groaned as a security unit showed up, heading straight toward Naruto and Hanayama. "Gentlemen, I do request…"
"SHOVE IT, COCKSOCK!" the head of security yelled at Kizaki, who snarled. "WE WORK FOR MAMMON, ONE OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS, WHO OWNS THIS PARK! SO, WE MAKE THE RULES."
"Tsk, Your funeral." Kizaki retorted as he held ran his hand through his hair.
The head of security and her forces surrounded Naruto and Hanayama, so focused with their staring contest that they didn't even register the new people around them.
"You two," She grabbed Naruto, intending on cuffing and dragging him out of the park. "Are going to leave…"
The moment she pulled Naruto's wrist, slapping the cuff on Naruto, Hanayama's eyes widened, the opening he had waited for being forced open.
Naruto pivoted on his feet, ripping Head of Security from her feet and he met Hanayama's strike with the woman holding Naruto's wrist for dear life as the other hand cuff latched onto her own wrist.
"Oh, shit, I need…" She said as she grabbed the key… only to lose it when Naruto maneuvered and she lost her grip.
Kubikiribocho's edge struck Hanayama's fist, the shockwave blasting the security detail away, except their boss who screamed her lungs out, her body rippling like a flag in intense wind.
"Told her." Kizaki mumbled, watching the woman scream as Naruto and Hanayama pulled back, still clinging to the fox child.
Naruto swung, Hanayama punched.
Hanayama punched, Naruto swung.
Blow for blow.
Attack for attack.
'What is he made of?' Naruto thought as Hanayama's fingers were cut, thus bleeding, but it didn't seem to affect Hanayama, ignoring the fact a full-grown imp woman was clinging to his arm. 'Am I even doing ANY kind of…'
Naruto held up Kubikiribocho, flat side, and defended against a devastating blow from Hanayama, which sent Naruto in an upward diagonal.
"WHAT THE LITERAL FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" the imp screamed as Naruto went through the air before gravity yanked his ass down into the big top.
"Tsk… tough son of a bitch…" Naruto grunted, looking upward on his back before he sat up, looking at his sword.
The blade had cracked, with several small metal splinters.
Naruto stood up.
"Okay, I know I was in the wrong…" the imp started to say, but squealed in fear as Hanayama landed before Naruto.
"Are we to…" Hanayama politely asked. "Continue?"
A tick mark appeared on Naruto's forehead.
"Fucking right, you muscle fuck." Naruto retorted, taking a deep breath before hocking up a blood soaked loogie.
Spat it… right onto Hanayama's foot.
Hanayama's brow furled, but the anger he expressed was controlled as he rose his arms again, taking his all-offensive combat stance.
Naruto altered his stance, leaning forward.
"I think I'll just…" the imp started to say, before she was yanked off of her feet again, still holding onto Naruto, as he jumped forward, thrusting Kubikiribocho into Hanayama's face.
The blade shattered, its fragments flying everywhere.
Naruto's eyes narrowed at the impact point.
'He's cut…' Naruto noticed, the bridge of Hanayama's nose being cut enough to bleed as Hanayama leaned his head back. 'But the splinters aren't doing shit.'
Hanayama's head connected with Naruto's via headbutt.
Naruto released Kubikiribocho, his brain hitting the walls of his skull, but he made a slash with his hand.
Hanayama didn't wince, his eyes did look down at his left arm as a new cut on his arm appeared.
From elbow to wrist, blood slowly seeped out slowly due to how shallow the cut was.
"Hmm…" Hanayama's eyes returned to his opponent as Naruto once again caved into the wooden ground of the park. 'What is he doing?'
Naruto got back up, his vision blurred and the world spinning.
"WHY CAN'T I LET GO?" the head of security asked, crying her eyes out.
Her once tough exterior having been lost.
She even pissed herself from Hanayama's headbutt attack.
Hanayama didn't let Naruto get up, reaching down and picking the fox up by his snout in his gigantic hands.
Kizaki winced.
"Oh, fuck…" he whispered, putting his hand up.
"WHAT!" Mirko shouted, trying to get up to watch what was going on. "WHAT IS GOING ON?"
"Your boy is about to suffer…" Kizaki said as Hanayama placed Naruto on his feet, his hand removing three of his fingers from Naruto's snout, leaving his index finger and thumb. "Agonizing pain."
As Naruto's mind came too, his eyes widened as Hanayama effortless pinched… and broke his snout.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHRAAAAAAAAAHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Naruto screamed as he felt the bone splinter and the flesh become like putty from such a simple effortless action.
Hanayama released Naruto, allowing the fox to grab his face.
"YOU MOTHER FUCKER, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Naruto shouted as he collapsed in pain, wanting to just rip the top of his mouth off… but then he'd die. "YOU AREN'T WALKING AWAY FROM THIS ALIVE, YOU…"
Hanayama raised his fist again.
"You don't seem to understand." Hanayama replied quite calmly.
His fist created another crater, Naruto having pulled himself away with the wires, one hand still on his face.
"WHAT?"
"You are facing off against an unyielding force…" Hanayama explained, no pride or cockiness in his calm tone. "Yet you stand against me… when your woman is at the mercy of my men."
Kizaki pulled out a firearm, cocked it, and pointed it at the Rabbit child.
Naruto's eyes widened, not seeing or caring that the imp was trying to break free from whatever force was keeping her connected to his arm.
His vision became tunneled.
Lunging forward, Naruto ran toward Kizaki like a wild animal.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUC…"
Hanayama grabbed the back of Naruto's head.
'What do I do?' Naruto thought as Hanayama's incredible grip strength started to apply force to Naruto's skull.
Eek's and creeks from Naruto's head filled his ears.
"JUST LET ME GOOOOOO…" The imp cried out as Hanayama lifted Naruto off of the ground.
"NARUTO!" Mirko yelled, seeing her best friend going through agonizing pain.
Naruto grit his teeth.
Using his tails, Naruto grabbed onto Hanayama's upper arm, and with his legs, wrapped them around the ogre's neck.
With his hands, flexing his fingers, making his wires tighten his leg grip further, several strands wrapping around Hanayama's neck.
Undeterred, Hanayama raised Naruto up… and HAMMERED him back into the ground, face first… with the imp still connected to him, but her body now partially broken.
And she had shit herself.
'I want to go home.' She mentally whimpered as her broken… okay, powdered bones allowed her body to hang limp from Naruto's arm.
"I think that is enough, Hanayama." Kizaki called out to his boss, quirking one of his eyebrows subtly.
This was a hint to Hanayama.
Afterall, they were paid to test, not kill Naruto.
Hanayama nodded, and released Naruto, standing up… his eyes slowly widening as it became difficult to breath.
The wires around his neck began to tighten, like a serpent squeezing its prey to death.
"HEY, BOSS!" Kizaki shouted when he saw blood begin to be drawn by these wires.
"Seems…" Hanayama grunted as he stared at his downed opponent. "We aren't… finished…"
Naruto pushed himself up, visibly wobbling.
His entire body ached.
His face especially.
'What do I do…' Naruto thought as Hanayama grabbed his right arm with both of his hands, one on his upper arm, the other on his wrist. 'I could go further… level 2…'
Naruto grit his teeth as Hanayama squeezed, the pressure building up in Naruto's arm.
The pressure was so great, the flesh exploded off of Naruto's arm, exposing all the nerves on Naruto's elbow.
Mirko winced, unable to look, her ears being forced to endure Naruto's horrid screams, his arm going limp, making the wires fall from Hanayama's neck.
"Poor kid," one of Hanayama's men said in a tone that showed empathy. "He had to suffer the Boss's Punch, Pinch, and now his Vice Grip."
"Sheesh…" Kizaki sighed. "He should just…"
Everyone's eyes bulged out of their sockets.
Naruto had reached out with his good hand… and GRABBED HANAYAMA'S DICK AND BALLS.
Everyone had One Piece Enel Shocked face.
'HE GRABBED HIS BALLS!' everyone thought as Naruto gripped them tightly.
Hanayama didn't express it, but the look in his eyes showed that it worked.
"Heh… your balls match your physique." Naruto joked.
Naruto released Hanayama's testicles, tucking and rolling under the ogre's legs, his good hand grabbing his ankle.
His claws dug into Hanayama's ankle, intending on slicing the tendons.
'Dense muscles, even in his legs.' Naruto grunted, rip/tearing his hand out of Hanayama's ankle, his claws having been ripped out and currently INSIDE Hanayama's ankle.
Visibly undisturbed, Hanayama now limped.
His face was contorted in concentration as he raised his arms, once again entering his fighting stance as Naruto jumped back a few feet, grabbing Kubikiribocho, the blade having reformed slightly.
The blood leaking from Naruto dripping on the blade, allowing its restoration to continue as Naruto held it up.
'I created a weak point.' Naruto thought, thinking back to the previous successful strikes. 'Dense muscles or not…' Naruto positioned himself to fight left-handed. 'Enough force can still cut him.'
Naruto ran forward, the out-cold female imp flopping behind him as Hanayama didn't make any move to defend himself.
He threw a right punch.
Instinctively, Naruto dodged… only for Hanayama's left fist to ascend upward for a pseudo uppercut.
'A feint!' Naruto thought as he braced himself for the attack.
Not taking this without a fight, Naruto opened his mouth, biting into Hanayama's wrist as the punch landed in his right shoulder.
The force nearly ripped Naruto's teeth out when he was jerked/sent in the direction of the punch, his entire right arm numb or possibly paralyzed.
Naruto landed back on the feet, his fangs still within Hanayama's flesh.
'NOW!'
Hanayama's face became shocked when Naruto used his wire to SLICE his own sword, which had continued to reform due to Naruto's blood dripping onto it.
The wires shaved the blade from the rectangular design into more pointed shape.
With as much force Naruto could muster in his damaged body, the Kubikiribocho stabbed into Hanayama's ankle, soaking the blood and reforming, cutting Hanayama's foot off.
"Bastard…" Hanayama exclaimed as the pain set in.
However, he was not allowed to think much further as Naruto jumped up, his knee striking Hanayama's chin.
The force SNAPPED Hanayama's head back, an audible and sickening crunch sound from the demon's neck.
Naruto landed on the ground as Hanayama fell on his knees, but he didn't care.
His pivoted, staring at Kizaki, who tensed, feeling Naruto's murderous intent.
Naruto feebly ran toward Kizaki, who took aim and fucking pulled the trigger.
Naruto's wires sliced the firearm before the trigger was fully pulled, causing it to explode in Kizaki's hand.
"Woah, woah, we give!" the men said as they threw their hands up, several running to Hanayama, who was on all fours due to his foot having been cut off.
Naruto stumbled toward Mirko, collapsing next to her.
"I… I got you…" Naruto said before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he passed out.
"Oh fuck…" Mirko remarked as she saw Hanayama get back up, his leg being bandaged up with emergency first aid style as one of his men held his severed foot.
Mirko feared for her life.
"Well…" Kizaki said as he approached Naruto and Mirko. "What do we do with the imp bitch?"
Mirko looked down, deadpanning as she saw the probably, most likely dead head of security still attached to Naruto.
Sloth Ring, Two Hours Later…
"IT WAS A FUCKING TEST!" Naruto screamed at Walter.
"Yes, now be quiet, Stupid Boy." Kaguya said, holding her hands up to cover her sensitive ears.
She and Walter had gotten a call from Mirko… who had been brought to the hospital with Naruto and Hanayama by the former's men.
Mirko was next to Naruto, sighing in relief, but then again, she was also really pissed.
Naruto was severely bandaged as Hanayama was reading a magazine as a doctor performed LIVE SURGERY to reattach his foot.
No anesthetic either.
Naruto's sword was also recovered and brought to the hospital, currently on a table, broken with the tip of the blade restored while the rest wasn't.
"Yes, it was a test." Walter said calmly, not really bothered at Naruto's outburst. "It was the Queen's decision."
Naruto rolled his eyes sarcastically.
"Oh, our OH So Great Queen~" Naruto sarcastically said, making strange eyes before they refocused. "I bet that bitch still hates me for some unknown reason, that's probably why she…"
Naruto's pain was increased when Walter smacked him.
"Our Queen actually believed you'd survive this test." Walter stated in a very serious tone, not happy Naruto opening insulted his master. "She wanted to know if you could protect Charlie when it mattered most. I do believe she will see the results she will be pleased you'd lay down your life for our Princess."
"Speaking of which," naruto said as he looked around. "Where are Charlie, Lucifer and… Lilith."
"They are…" Walter's eyes looked toward the door for a few seconds. "Busy elsewhere…"
Greed Ring, Mammon's Home…
"… PRINCESS'S PET DESTROYED A MASSIVE CHUNK OF LOOLOO LAND, LUCIFER!" Mammon, the Sin of Greed, shouted at the Sin of Pride.
"And?" Lucifer asked, smiling FAR TO WIDELY for Mammon to like.
Mammon growled at the Short King.
"You are going to reimburse my theme park." He grunted, so enraged he couldn't smile even though he was able to extort HUGE amounts of cash from Lucifer.
…
…
…
Just because they were colleagues didn't mean Mammon wouldn't rip him off.
"Nah."
"WHAT WAS THAT!" Mammon screamed, taking his true demon form, as Lucifer just smiled brightly, like a child who had Christmas come early. "YOUR LITTLE FUCKTURD DESTROYED MY PROPERTY!"
"And your property was ripping off mine." Lucifer replied, taking a cup of coffee, sipping it like Ezma in front of Pacha's wife. "So… who sues who, Mammon?"
Mammon growled, eyes spasming as he destroyed the table.
"Well, I belief we are done here." Lucifer said as he stood up. "Thanks for the coffee."
Lucifer vanished, leaving Mammon to destroy his office in a rage.
"GOD FUCKING DAMNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Pride Ring…
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJHAHAHAHAHAHAJEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Lucifer laughed as he nearly collapsed.
He had been holding this laughter in for the ten minutes Mammon had him in Greed.
Lilith rolled her eyes, sipped some tea.
'Boys will be boys.' She thought, allowing her husband to pridefully indulge in the fantasy he so desperately wanted.
Which was the destruction of LooLoo Land.
Sloth Ring…
"Actually, I have a question." Kaguya said as she put two large white rectangular boxes on the table before sitting down. "Why didn't you undo your seal? From what Mirko told us, you did undo one level."
"You held back?" Hanayama asked curiously, lowering his magazine to look at his former opponent.
Naruto avoided Hanayama's gaze.
"Well… no big reason." Naruto answered. "It wouldn't have been a fair fight, and why only fight when I am always guaranteed to win."
Naruto's scratched his head with his good hand.
"I also… hm… because if I couldn't beat you with Level 3, then how could I trust myself to protect my master. If I have to rely on Level 2 and 1… I'm weak… right?" Naruto asked Kaguya and then slowly asked Hanayama.
Kaguya nodded.
"That is good you recognize that." Hanayama said as he put his magazine down. "Tricks and techniques help win a fight, but relying and trusting in your own body…"
Hanayama touched his chest, a somber, melancholic expression on his face.
"Is the same way of the Standing Man." Hanayama said contently, his sadness being slowly replaced with a soft smile.
"The Standing Man?" Naruto and Mirko asked, heads tilted curiously.
Hanayama chuckled.
"Well, my friends, I'll tell you during our recovery." Hanayama said as the doctor finished his leg reattachment.
"Okay, so," Naruto said as he looked at Kaguya. "What's in the box."
Mirko blushed.
"Maybe we should…" She tried to say before Kaguya handed one box to Naruto.
"It's the gifts Mirko got the two of you for Valentine's Day." Kaguya said with a parental 'I know what I am doing is embarrassing' smile. "Open it."
"No…" Mirko weakly replied before Naruto opened it.
Blood erupted from Naruto's nose.
It was a body pillow with an image of Mirko on it.
"Mirko had one of you made." Kaguya continued, holding the second box open, revealing the pillow with an image of Naruto on it. "They are enchanted to replicate body heat, so its like sleeping next to a person."
The pictures of Naruto and Mirko were posed.
As of they were laying down.
Their stomachs partially exposed, pants/shorts unbuttoned.
A gentle, nurturing smile on their faces.
"MOM!" Mirko screamed in embarrassment, holding her ears over her eyes, red in the face.
Kaguya, Walter, and Hanayama laughed at the teens.
Meanwhile…
"Hello?" Charlie called out as she stood outside Walter's house.
In her arms were valentine's gifts.
"WALTER, NARUTO!" Charlie called out, ringing the doorbell some more, Razzle and Dazzle fluttering behind her, giving each other questioning glances.
Chapter 14, DONE!
I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS CHAPTER!
I initially toyed with the idea that Naruto lost this fight, but Lilith could see he was willing to sacrifice himself, thus say he passed. BUT, I was able to create a fight I feel was worthy of Hanayama. I don't know, let me know in the reviews, hard core Baki fans, if I did right by the Standing Man.
Lucifer is SO happy LooLoo Land got destroyed. Okay, it wasn't FULLY destroyed like Helluva Boss, but this takes place YEARS before that. And since Naruto destroyed the Roller Coaster, that explains why it isn't in Helluva Boss.
The Head of Security Imp was inspired by Phone Booth Guy… You Baki Characters know him as the dumbass who was caught between Jack and Sikorsky. Good times.
Mammon tries to get money from Lucifer, JUST to get shut down, no arguments, have a good day.
And Charlie… I couldn't think of anything for her to do, thus… ending joke.
I got some new art if you want to see it, check out deviantart, Boo1194.
If you enjoyed the chapter, leave a review, even if you hated it because it helps me become a better author.
