Review Responses:

Gold Testament: That is Perfect! A Summary of the entire Kurama contribution. So perfect.

Bednarczykmiki: Nope… she died, so her soul dispersed within her body.

Gamelover41592: LOL.

Scheffinator: I am happy I remembered that TFS Frieza quote. Yeah, I want to get back to Butler, I do have fun with it.

Fenris Silverblood: I'm glad I was able to live up to your expectations.

Yami Luna Kitsune: Ah, I see, thank you for clearing that up. Kurama's past was more important to her than the future of her child. Lucifer being calm… it's quite unnerving, isn't it? Yeah, the sword can cut dimensions, it DID carve the 7 Rings, remember? Well, duh, Marchosias has seen what Kurama has done to Naruto from within him, so of course he hates her. I'm proud of the mouth beam attack. Kiba is dead dead, his body was destroyed and even if Soul Rend could return his soul to its natural form, it wouldn't have a body to go back to. Who else is in the Jar? No one… it's just Tamamo's now since Kurama ate the rest. Marchosias did for a short time, and yeah, it is an OP power befitting of Lucifer's Best Friend. Yep, brutal indeed. Lucifer is a being who made lots of mistakes, and he is mature enough to admit he fucked up. I was more inspired by God of War Ascencion when Kratos rips the vestigial twin of Pollux and Caster off and stomps him to mush.

Dktv9: Glad you enjoyed it. Yep, it's all wrapping up.

Jebest4781: Thank you.

Ravage88atlas: What do you think Lucifer is doing? I foreshadowed How Tamamo is restored. Oh the punishments… *Evilest smile I can make* You'll see.

Jester3423377: Totally deserved.

StrongGuy159: Thank you. You'll just have to see if you wanna answer for that question.

DireWolf1412: I literally had so much trouble trying to figure out a punishment for Kiba, since coming up with one for Hinata was totally easy, but then I said fuck it, Kurama eats his soul to heal and kicks his body at Naruto, who dices it to pieces. That way, he's just done and out.

MEATBICYCLE: I WENT ALL OUT to show how Kurama claimed false power and still came out short. Her death showed how pathetic she was. Yes, I did wait to long to do this. Oh, no, that isn't where my JOJO part 5 inspiration was geared toward… *Evil Chuckle* but I will show that soon. Naruto doesn't have the souls. The mass majority of the souls that were shaved off of Kurama were long dead, so they just faded away. So that is why Lucifer had more Ducks.

DaftMerc39: Who says they didn't? Naruto met Marchosias a long time ago, the Shadow Wolf. Just didn't know it, until now of course. Wasn't what inspired the mouth beam, but yeah, you can compare them. I fucking love the soundtrack of the Japanese Yugioh, so fucking cool and powerful. Yep!

Hellhammer: NICE!

ShadowBloodedge9396: Thank you, I worked very hard. I was inspired by Frieza Vs Goku, where even at full power 100%, Frieza matched, but still fell short of Super Saiyan Goku. Marchosias's vestige is alive, yes. Kurama was a pathetic creature, so she earned her pathetic death.

Animecollecter: Yasaka? We shall see where Tamamo goes, she has a lot of healing to go through.

Rio Skyron: Ooh, nice.

Nicholas: Yep. I was going to be over dramatic and embellish… but then I realized, no, a simple head crush was perfect.

Ice:

Heavy: Yes, she is.

Reggad the Knife: Oh, yeah, Ozzie gonna need to rebuild his Ring. Oh, yeah, Kurama has a stock pile of weapons, you should go take some before Manda takes the pot.

MichaelTheFox: Thank you. I got some new art I feel you will like.

Medic: How so?

Wolf Mike: For now, Peace has been obtained, yes. But there might be another, so we take this experience and prepare for the next incase it happens.

StarDustDragonknight: Interesting idea!

Spy: LOL. Thank you.

Sniperbro1998: Yeah, I agree, I kept Kurama around for far to long. Oh, they will.

Six: What do you mean? I'm far from done with this story. Thank you!

OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO, HAZBIN HOTEL, OR HELLUVA BOSS!

"Hey" = Speaking

'Hey' = Thinking

'Hey' = Memory

"Hey" = To be Determined

Chapter 143: A Simple Request

"I'll suc…"

*SQUELCH*

Kurama's skull shattered, her brain squished like jelly, and her blood coated the bottom of Naruto's foot.

Kurama: The Madam.

Kurama: The Marquis.

Kurama of The Nine.

Kurama the Head of Fox's Den… was dead.

Naruto felt the tension slowly drain from his body, his vision began to blur before refocusing as his head was assaulted by a migraine.

His wings and horns vanished, his tail reverted from a snake back into a basic tail, the magic holding his broken prosthetic hand fading, making it hang as the emerald flame crown dispersed.

Naruto stabbed his sword into the ground, using it to keep himself standing.

Suddenly, his ears were assaulted with the horrid noise of a helicopter, his eyes closing when a spot light from said copter now on him.

Pride Ring, V's HQ…

"THAT FUCKING WHORE!" Valentino roared to Velvette who was flipping through the tv channels, tuning her fellow Overlord out as she lazily channel surfed. "WHEN I GET TO LUST, I'M GOING TO THROAT FUCK THE SHIT OUT OF THAT FOX!"

You may be wondering why Valentino was so angry.

Well, just minutes prior, he was going over his statistics for porn videos being watched, and found a new video had been posted.

Now, in the recent past, Valentino was infuriated by videos hosting Naruto.

The first one being Naruto banging Hinata, which did very well as it grated his nerves Kurama's subordinate posted a porno due to his deal with her would keep her from making and posting said videos.

The second one being one posted by Asmodeus, which Valentino had to let go of because… its Lust King Ozzie, what could he do. It was a video secretly recorded of Naruto's wedding night with Loona and Verosika.

It did MUCH better than the first video.

Now… the newest video?

It was a SEVENTY-TWO HOUR porno of Naruto fucking Kurama and later on, Hinata.

Statistics showed 98% of viewers actually watched the entire video and masturbated.

The last 2% only watched twenty minutes before finishing.

And yes, it surpassed the Wedding Night video by an indefinite amount.

And it was posted by Kurama's worker, Kiba, again.

Which leads us to Valentino screaming and breaking things as Velvette took a sip of coffee.

"BREAKING NEWS!" She heard on the TV, stopping to watch it at news was something important to her as the V's main stream info collector. "A ONE DAY WAR WAS WAGED AND ENDED IN LUST RING!"

Velvette's eyes widened slightly, turning up the volume.

"Today, Marquis…"

"KURAMA, I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU REGRET EVER BREAKING OUR DEAL!"

"VAL!"

Valentino turned to Velvette.

"WHAT!"

"Shut up and look at the tv!" Velvette said as she pointed to said item, ignoring the volatile moth sinner's anger.

Valentino snarled as he looked at the tv.

"… Home was attacked by an army. Gathering from the people seen, it must have been an alliance amongst the Snake Mafia, Toad Yakuza, and Slug Cartel, who launched an assault on the Marquis's home." The news reporter said, the tv showing live footage of Naruto, leaning on his sword above a corpse. "From what we can see, her majesty Kurama, has been murdered by having her head crushed under foot…"

Valentino's anger vanished as an image of Kurama was plastered on the screen.

He looked at the live footage and got close to the screen.

"Oh… that poor woman…" he said with sincere sadness, which made Velvette quirk an eyebrow. "What a way to go… head crushed… Kurama gave great head… I should have… fucked her more…"

'There it is…' Velvette thought, rolling here eyes as she changed the channel again, Valentino's mood now being a bit sulking and mournful.

Before it returned to anger when he saw his porn statistics again.

Meanwhile…

"… Home was attacked by an army. Gathering from the people seen, it must have been an alliance amongst the Snake Mafia, Toad Yakuza, and Slug Cartel, who launched an assault on the Marquis's home." The news reporter said, the tv showing live footage of Naruto, leaning on his sword above a corpse. "From what we can see, her majesty Kurama, has been murdered by having her head crushed under foot…"

A crowd of people looked through the window displaying Vox TV's, gasping in horror as one man snickered so happily.

Alastor had been on his walk, and just so happened to over hear the news.

Alastor couldn't help by smile, his eyes becoming radio dials as a particular memory came to mind.

Flashback…

Sixteen Years Prior…

Alastor walked in the rain of Pride.

He didn't hate it like most, but he didn't love it like others.

He had forgotten an umbrella and was not feeling like using his magic to create one.

He walked the street, his presence alone scaring people, entertaining him.

His ears picked up on the sound of something hitting the ground, causing him to look across the street.

It was a woman.

A heavily pregnant woman vomiting.

Alastor may be a Sinner, but during his life and current one, he had seen many people.

And from experience, Alastor knew one thing for certain.

This woman had hit rock bottom.

His grin grew ever bigger and sinister as he approached.

He purposely clicked his heels and cane against the pavement.

Weakly, Kurama looked up…

"Radio Demon…" Alastor heard her say, his eyes becoming radio dials in glee as his smile glowed.

He could see it in Kurama's eyes, and decided to gauge her reaction.

"Oh, my, my! What a delicious tragedy!" He stated in joy, reaching out to caress Kurama's face, feeling her disgust. "Betrayal, murder, desperation—why, it's the perfect script for a scandalous radio drama!"

He removed his hand from Kurama's face, and began to walk past her.

"And you've played the leading role beautifully, my nine-tailed dear!" He said, turning his head to look at Kurama one more time.

He saw her turn to look at him.

A look of Pity was in Alastor's eyes, with a hidden joy when he saw her get angry before returning his attention to walking.

Flashback End…

Alastor continued his walk, ignoring everyone around him as he smiled at this fond memory.

'Oh, My Nine Tailed Beauty…' he thought, never truly wanting to know her name. 'I am sad to see you go, but I enjoyed the free entertainment. But the newest horse I am backing…'

He caressed his neck, an intense look of desire.

One that wasn't earned or gained from simply wanting something.

One that was earned by years of torment, years of suffering, years of wanting out.

'Should be able to do what you couldn't do, it's better to have someone capable over a broken woman…' Alastor thought, thinking of Naruto. 'Oh, my newest Entertainment… don't disappoint me now~'

Everyone parted as the Radio Demon began to chuckle and cackle to himself.

Meanwhile…

Everyone who worked in Paw Print Paradise, everyone who was dining, were glued to the TV.

All of Naruto's former coworkers were worried about him.

Vortex held Jayjay, who was crying as she saw Naruto's battered form be televised before he powered down.

Flare was shocked and in awe.

As the oldest, he knew a thing or two about history.

And the form Naruto had just exited… it was like their ancestor was reborn.

Meanwhile…

Leviathan returned to her paperwork.

Meanwhile…

"WE SHOULD HAVE HAD THAT ON DVD!" Mammon screamed. "WOULD HAVE MADE US A FUCK TON OF CASH!"

Meanwhile…

Belphegor was receiving reports and updates… which went unheard as she was sleeping.

Meanwhile…

Satan was working out.

'You better do something Luci.' He thought angrily, smoke emitting from his nostrils as he pushed his muscles to their limits… which was immense. 'Or I will.'

Meanwhile…

"It's over…" Charlie said as she held Andromeda, who cheered, seeing her father standing over the corpse of his enemy.

"It is hun." Vaggie said, leaning in and giving Charlie a kiss.

"But now it gets worse…" Charlie whispered, hugging the baby and Vaggie close.

Vaggie blinked.

"What do you mean?"

"My father…"

A chill ran up the Sinner's spine.

As a former Angel/Exterminator, Vaggie knew some of Hell's Laws.

An attack on a Marquis is an attack on Lucifer.

'Oh, fuck…' Vaggie thought, her eye narrowing and looking away. 'How are the higher… ahem, my former employers feeling about this?'

Heaven…

Sera… was livid as the video footage was shown to her on the screen.

Beside her, Adam the First Man, drank a soda.

Beside him, was his Lieutenant, Lute.

On screen, they watched Kurama and Naruto fight, making Sera grip her hands tightly.

"Adam…"

"What?" He said in a gruff, but VERY respectful tone.

Something he never did with anyone else.

"… If you run into that man…" Sera turned to him, entering a partial transformation. "… kill him…"

Adam, while slurping his soda through the straw, lazily gave her a thumbs up.

Meanwhile…

Naruto shook his head, his migraine beginning to subside.

He summoned a clone, which took the sword, allowing Naruto to reach down with his false hand, even though the 'arm' part was broken, his hand still functioned and he grabbed Kurama's corpse by the ankle.

Dragging it across the empty land, leaving a blood streak, Naruto picked up Tessaiga, which pulsated in his hand.

"Happy to have you back, Tessaiga." Naruto said with a tired smile, the clone picking up the sheathe. "I swear I'll master your power one day."

He felt another pulse, which felt happy.

Smiling, Naruto handed it over to the clone, which now carried both swords.

'Okay, we got to get… back…' Naruto thought, trying to ignore the news helicopter, which was still hovering above him. 'Fuck, they are annoying…'

"NARUTO!"

"Hey… Bee… Ozzie…" Naruto weakly said as he lazily waved with his left hand.

Bee ran over… and punched him in the head.

"FUCK!"

Bee and Asmodeus high fived… before Asmodeus punched Naruto.

"WHAT WERE THOSE FOR!" Naruto demanded, dropping Kurama's ankle to hold his head, the clone holding the swords stepping back, not wanting to be dispelled.

"That was for making me worry!" Bee said, pointing two hands at him, one in his face and the other pressed into his chest.

"And for breaking the arm I made you!" Asmodeus stated with a huff.

Naruto groaned before being silenced with a hug from Bee.

"You could have died or worse!" She said with a light whimper.

Naruto hugged her back.

"Sorry… I just couldn't risk her taking your souls…" He mumbled.

Asmodeus tsk'd.

"As is she could." He stated confidently.

Bee released Naruto from the hug, wiping her eyes dry as they had begun to water.

"Alright, let's get you back to the others…" She said, trying to smile brightly as the fighting was over. "We can get everyone to Bel, she can heal everyone right up!"

Naruto smiled with a nod.

"So… any reason why your…" Asmodeus looked at Kurama's corpse as Naruto grabbed the ankle again. "Dragging that around?"

"… don't want to leave it around… kinda disrespectful…"

"Didn't she do horrible things to you and attack your family?" Asmodeus asked, quirking three eyebrows.

"… It's… huh…"

"I bet it's that human part of you." Asmodeus deduced.

"Most likely… or I want proof to Tamamo…"

Naruto's eyes widened.

He looked around.

"What?"

"Where is the amber pot?" Naruto said in a panic. "I gave it to you, right?"

"Dude, chill." Bee said as she reached into her tail, pulling out the pot. "It's right here."

Naruto sighed in relief as Bee put it back.

"Thank god… or… Lucifer… Satan…" Naruto frowned. "I give up…"

"Oh, don't let Satan hear that." Bee laughed, earning a knowing smirk from Asmodeus. "He'll get mad at you."

Naruto lazily rolled his eyes as the trio and his clone continued their way.

After some time, they made their way back into the city, and saw large amount of ambulances from Sloth picking up and taking people to Sloth to be healed.

"Hm… Bel must have sent them." Asmodeus mumbled.

"Awe, that means she cares." Bee giggled.

"… Who?"

"Bel... oh, sorry, you know her as Belphegor, the Sin of Sloth." Bee explained.

"Oh… wait… why didn't the other sins show up?" Naruto questioned.

"Oh, trust me…" a familiar voice said, sending chills down Naruto's spine. "They are all to lazy to help unless it directly hurts them."

*Puss n' Boots: The Last Wish: The Whistle of Death*

Naruto heard it once again.

He hadn't heard it in forever.

But he immediately knelt, dropping Kurama, his clone dispelling, his weapons clattering to the ground.

"Your majesty/Luci/Sup." Naruto, Bee, and Asmodeus said at the same time as Lucifer strolled up to them.

Meanwhile…

"Well, well…" Manda said as he watched Gamabunta get loaded up into one of the Sloth Ambulances with Gamatatsu and Gamakichi. "This was a fun war…"

He smoked a cigar as he strolled up to Loona, Verosika, Blitz, Moxxie, and Millie, who were all being looked at by some of the slugs.

"War isn't fun." Moxxie retorted.

"Oh, I believe it is." Manda chuckled, looking around the partially demolished Fox's Den. "Now, I get my payment."

"Yeah, about that…"

Manda blinked, and Loona and Blitz were upon him.

Loona's fangs bit into his neck, keeping him from shedding his skin successfully, as Blitz shoved Jackal into Manda's mouth.

"Your contract said you'd help us you get the money, weapons, and women under Kurama's employ." Blitz said as Mnada tried to break Loona's grip. "But nothing in it said being a back stabbing cocksucker was apart of it… so this contract…"

Blitz pulled out a pair of aviator sunglasses.

"… Is Terminated." He said in a bad Arnold impression as he blew Manda's throat open.

Loona felt his body spasm and then go limp.

"He's dead." She stated, dropping the corpse. "He couldn't survive that."

"Indeed, he couldn't."

The family turned to see Aoda, wrapped in bandages, but still alive.

"Shit…"

"No, no," Aoda said as he held up his hands. "You did us a favor."

He looked over Manda's body.

"Manda… he was a relic." Aoda said with a calm tone. "His ways weren't progressive, to old fashion, but with him dead, the Snake Mafia can now move forward."

He looked at the family.

"The alliance between Snakes, Slugs, and Toads will continue with me as head of the Snake Mafia…" he glanced at one of the slugs, who stiffened. "Well, after some negotiations with Lady Katsuyu and Boss Gamakichi, of course."

"Oh, yes, yes, I'll inform Lady Katsuyu!" the slug said before she slithered off in a mild panic.

"So…" Blitz removed his glasses as he wiped his nose. "You're not mad?"

He gestured toward Manda.

"He broke contract… so I have no qualms with his dead." Aoda said, making the family sigh in relief.

Blitz and Loona impulsively reacted to Manda's presence, so… they were exceptionally happy this didn't spark another fight.

Father and Daughter sat together, arms around their shoulders.

Verosika sat between Millie and Moxxie, the trio leaning into each other.

The family didn't want to leave until Naruto and Fuu returned.

Meanwhile…

"No, I can't leave this!" Fuu said as she held Naruto's Nuada sword. "It isn't mine, but it's Naruto's. He'd kill me if I left it here!"

Shino pushed up his glasses.

"I doubt he'd do that. Be mad, yes, but kill you?" He calmly replied to his girlfriends' wild accusations.

"So…" Gaara said as he stretched out his limbs. "What are you two gonna do now?"

"I was thinking of staying in Greed, Chomei is making me a manager at his casino." Shino explained.

"I would like to do that too." Fuu said before a sad smile crept onto her face. "But then I'd be unable to see Andromeda…"

Shino hugged her with one arm.

"We'll figure something out." He comforted, making Fuu's smile regain some warmth.

Shino and Fuu turned their attention to Gaara.

"What about you?" they asked.

Gaara blushed slightly, avoiding their gaze.

"I was thinking of going to Pride and getting a body guard position…" his cheeks turned darker red. "For Octavia and Riser…"

"OOOOOH~" Fuu exclaimed, a cheeky smile on her face. "You wanna protect Octavia~"

Gaara's sand threatened to engulf the insect sinner and crush her.

"I think that is a good idea, Gaara." Shino said with a calm smile. "With your powers, you can be a great body guard… and boyfriend."

Shino was threatened by sand, but it didn't scare him.

Meanwhile…

Karen was alone.

She was bandaged up.

She sat against the wall.

In her arms, was Tamamo's body, still alive, but empty of soul.

Beside Karen, was Arnold's body.

He had been shot in the head by Kurama.

Karen shed ugly tears.

'Zack, Corey, Katie…' She thought, focusing on her children.

Even if she lost Arnold, and potentially lost Tamamo, Karen still had people who loved and cared for.

She used her love for her children to stay strong, even though an overwhelming feeling of loss tried to consume her.

All those years of raising Tamamo.

Loving her.

Training her.

Caring.

It could potentially amount to nothing but a waste of time.

That scared Karen.

It was a whirlpool of worry in her stomach, making her chest tight that she wanted so desperately to go away.

But…

Karen stayed strong, hoping Tamamo could be saved.

She hugged Tamamo closer.

"It's going to be okay…" She whispered to Tamamo.

Meanwhile…

Lucifer, Bee, Asmodeus, and Naruto could feel the small amount of tension in the air, Naruto kneeling before the King of Hell.

"Luci, before you do anything…" Asmodeus started to say before Lucifer silenced him with a hand gesture.

Asmodeus nodded, glanced at Bee, who sighed with sadness.

The two sins stepped back, allowing Lucifer to walk up to Naruto.

Each step made Naruto's organs tighten.

It felt like he was going to pass out from panic.

"I'm happy to see you're okay." Lucifer said in a soft tone, showing signs of relief. "Can we talk?"

Chapter 143, DONE!

Naruto doesn't KNOW Lucifer Personally. He met Lucifer twice: At the party where Kurama met him and at his wedding, where Lucifer gave Naruto his blessing.

But this situation… is bad because Naruto KILLED a Marquis, one of Lucifer's officials. So, that is why Naruto is not confident he'd be able to get out of it.

ASIDE FROM THAT…

I HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS CHAPTER! EVERYONE'S REACTIONS!

Yeah, Loona and Blitz killed Manda. I was gonna have Naruto do it, but with how far he took Kurama, and how long they were taking to get back to the city, it felt better and easier to have two people who were there when the deal was made kill Manda AKA… Blitz and Loona.

I recently watched Urban Legends 1998, and a woman is decapitated and some asshole makes a 'great head' joke. Thus, I had Valentino do it.

We get to see Alastor's perspective on Kurama, and that he had plans for her, but Naruto suits those plans better.

Now… Heaven knows of this war, and Sera, who was alive when Marchosias was causing trouble, knows how dangerous Naruto is, and now Adam has the Okay to kill Naruto.

Now Lucifer wants to talk with Naruto.

And what about Tamamo! Will she get her soul back?

I can't wait to see!

Got a lot of art done in my absence, please enjoy it if you want to check it out on deviantart. Ascended Kurama and Marquis Mode Naruto! And something adorable for Andromeda. Something spicy for Charlie and Vaggie!

If you enjoyed the chapter, leave a review, even if you hated it because it helps me become a better author.
