(Scene change: Uzumaki Mansion)
Naruto had a tick mark on his head as he paced around his living room with an unconscious Irina laying on the couch sleeping comfortably.
The number of dark energies clashing together and a huge burst of holy energy plus all the negative emotions he was sensing were irritating, to say the least.
Can't a ninja have a day without any trouble? Was it too much to ask?
Speaking of trouble, the chestnut lady was jerking around in her sleep muttering something about fusing Excaliburs and blowing to kingdom come. He couldn't make heads or tails of what she was saying in her sleep before she woke up screaming all of a sudden.
"Whoa, you alright?" he asked as he eased her back onto the sofa.
"Where am I? Who are you? How did I get here? Where's my sword?" The chestnut-haired girl bombarded Naruto with questions as she scanned the unfamiliar room and winced a bit when she tilted her head.
"You're at my place." He answered the only question he registered.
She stared at her hands riddled with bruises, and slash marks on her clothes and the first thing that came to mind was maybe this guy had done something perverted to her. The memory of what happened then hit her when she was about to scream "Hentai".
All she learned when she fought Freed and their plan all came back to her.
"I have to find Xenovia," she said as he bolted right up.
"Who?"
"He's going to kill them all. I don't want Issei to die."
Naruto grimaced at that. That boy was always in the center of it all. A magnet for trouble. He watched as she paced around the room looking for something.
"Where's my sword?" Irina questioned impatiently.
"The other guy escaped with it," he answered.
"Damn it! I have to go," she hastily made way towards the door."
Naruto wondered if she didn't realize her state of dressing or if she was that zealot about saving her friends. He turned towards her and watched as her half-exposed ass bounced with a certain jiggle only Supernatural women have. He picked a baggy, white shirt and threw it at her skull.
Irina stopped and grabbed the clothes and gave him a look of appreciation and wore the long shirt which was acting like a gown. She reached for the knob and opened it halfway before she stopped and turned her head.
Naruto inhaled sharply and remembered he had a side project was going to embark on, a self-given project about something. What was it again? He couldn't remember.
"I'd suggest you evacuate. Just in case they failed to stop Kokabiel," she said and flung the door open.
"Evacuate?" he pondered. What was going on in there? What was that sudden burst of holy energy? He could sense another burst of holy and demonic energy together.
"What do you mean?" His question halted her again.
"Kokabiel wants to destroy all of Kuoh."
The blonde teacher's eyes widened a bit at that information. He had decided not to interfere with the battle going on but an entire city hanged in the balance of this one. Should he sit this one out? What would he gain if he joined the fray? He did a mental check on the pros and concluded.
The cons far outweigh the pros.
A huge red eye with h black slit snapped open and Naruto found himself in his mindscape in front of Kurama who had his head on his paws and his tails swaying around.
"What are you going to do?" Kurama asked.
"Nothing," he replied, folding his arms on his chest. "It's devil business."
A huge furred paw slammed beside him and sent a burst of wind and water around.
Naruto stuck to the unstable water surface using chakra and shielded his eyes from the violent winds.
"Naruto! What are you becoming!" the nine-tailed fox barked at his face. A bark might be for the mountain-sized fox but for Naruto, it was something else.
"Oi! What do you mean?" he retorted.
"You've changed so much, Uzumaki, and I'm ashamed of the man you've become," Kurama said with disdain. Naruto narrowed his eyes at him. "For a second there, Madara's image overlapped yours."
"Don't compare me to that man!"
"There are people's lives at stake here. Granted, you don't even know them but what about the Hyoudou kid? His mom? Those devils? Your students? Hmm?" Kyūbi no Kitsune asked and whatever Naruto wanted to say died in his throat.
"Come on Naruto, you're The Uzumaki Naruto! Where Is the boy I respected? The boy who would never give up when all the odds stack up? The boy that gave a damn about people in danger?"
"I'm doing this to maintain our anonymity. Quillpoth is onto us and you know how dangerous they are!" he defended.
"You're using that as an excuse! Our anonymity isn't what's at stake here and if Quillpoth comes, You have our full support."
"Go, Naruto. Show me the ninja I once believed in. I know he's in there, he's just suppressed, sleeping, down for a while and when he wakes up, I pity those who come after him and his loved ones."
Naruto pondered on Kurama's word, staring hard at the water like it would all dry up if he stared hard enough.
Who knew that baka Kitsune could be a good motivator like this.
"You know," he started with a chuckle, "You'd make a good speech motivator if you put your mind to it," he finished with a laugh. Kurama scoffed and slapped Naruto away with one of his tails.
(Scene change: Kuoh Academy)
"Is this the might of the head of the Gremory clan?" Kokabiel began as he slowly descended with a huge light spear in hand, all ten black wings out.
He gazed at all of them on the floor, beaten and exhausted. Rias and her peerage with The Exorcist working together couldn't defeat him and that was a letdown. The Red Dragon Emperor was the only challenge he had but the boy's Sacred Gear at its current state wasn't enough to put him down.
He was impressed, though, the boy was still standing after all that. He had expected a thrilling battle and all he got were weaklings.
On the upside, he got to see a balance breaker with the ability to fuse holy and demonic energies and The Red Dragon Over boost.
