章 29: Resolution...
Chapter 14 - Resolution...
Maijima Town… Naruto's hometown on this new world…
Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld are currently standing under the sakura tree in front of their home temple while looking towards the darkened skies with worried expression on their faces. It's been a few minutes after they have sensed a revival of a powerful Weiss somewhere around the world, and they are afraid that their family, Naruto, might get involved into it. However, the presence of the powerful Weiss that they have sensed disappeared, and is replaced by three new powerful presences that they are somewhat familiar with… The presences are from the current Three Kings of a temporal world called Makai…
However, right now, they are sensing a new strange feeling within the atmosphere… the atmosphere itself felt so thick and it feels so cold… as if the wind itself is trembling in fear. And the Goddesses knew themselves why are they feeling this strange phenomenon…
"A Garganta from Nifheim has opened up on the very exact direction where we sensed the revived Weiss earlier…" Urd said with serious expression.
"A Garganta? But why? What made you so sure about that Urd?" Skuld asked in a worried expression.
"I believe you already knew about me being the daughter of the Daimakaicho herself. So being a half Demon myself, I knew the feeling when Nifheim's domain meddles with this world's reality. And the easiest way to do that is to perform a Garganta, the passage that will allow Nifheim to easily enter this world bypassing the natural order of reality." Urd explained.
"And with that said, Nifheim just created a temporary pathway for some unknown reasons… but…" Belldandy said. She then now sensed another set of powerful presences appeared out of nowhere. These presences are also felt by her beloved sisters. "…I believe that the pathway became the route for four more powerful Weiss than the one we sensed earlier. And judging the heavy feeling within the atmosphere right now, these new Weiss engaged the Three Kings of Makai in a battle…"
"And… Naruto also got caught in the middle of it?" Skuld asked with a very worried tone. Belldandy just nodded with worried expression as well. "Why? Why does Nifheim's Government will open a Garganta? If Valhala finds out about this, this will cause some serious conflict! Nifheim shouldn't be meddling against the natural flow of history of this world!"
"Too late to think about that, Skuld." Urd said seriously. "Ever since some random powerful Weiss started to spawn here in the Human Realm out of nowhere, I believe that Valhala already has suspicions against the new Government of Nifheim that was being led by the so-called New Devils. And now with the usage of Garganta, this further verified that Nifheim is up into something. However, I doubt that my mother has anything to do with this."
"But just what is actually happening in Nifheim right now?" Skuld asked while thinking about Naruto. But she didn't hear any reply from her sisters. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and closed her eyes. "Please… please be careful… Naruto…"
-Scene Change-
Nifheim… Office of the Chief of Runaway Spirit Squad….
"Those idiots…" Lune smirked while observing the battle between the Three Kings of Makai, the Shinobi, and the newly summoned Mobile Colossis that respawned 53 Menos Grande from their shattered bodies after being attacked. "…the more you beat down the Mobile Colossi, the more Menos will spawn from their flesh that will give you overwhelming disadvantage in number. You Kings maybe powerful enough to easily defeat a Mobile Colossi, but the Colossi's abilities while being defeated are what made them dangerous! It'll be too late for you Kings to realize that you are severely outnumbered by powerful Weiss created from Colossi's shattered flesh!"
"Lune-sama… now that we have already used the Garganta… Valhala will definitely start making a move against us. Even if they still doesn't know that we are the ones who are directly involved into this, Valhala's interference will definitely restrict our movements to proceed in our plan." Fiore explained.
"Don't tell me something that I already know!" Lune yelled against Fiore. "Like I said, Valhala cannot do anything against us. After all, I already am one step ahead of them…" Lune said with a confident tone. "Even if Valhala intervenes against our plans, we still have the upper hand against them. But for now, eliminating the Three Kings of Makai and the Chosen Child will be our top priority."
-Scene Change-
"Koenma-sama!" Botan spoke thru the monitor that was being used by Koenma and the Makai Council to watch the current events that involved the Three Kings. "Yusuke, Yoko and Hiei are facing powerful Weiss that was summoned directly from the Garganta! I believe we should send appropriate assistance for them!"
"But what can we do?" Koenma narrowed his eyes. "Even the Special Defense Force will not be able to assist them against those Weiss!"
"Calm down, little King." Enki muttered in a calm demeanor to Koenma. "Those three are no longer the same as of 50 years ago. They are a lot more powerful than before. Even Yusuke alone can wipe out all those Weiss if he uses his full power. The only problem is that Yusuke don't have sealing capability."
Koenma is somehow stunned after hearing Enki's statement. "Yusuke is already that powerful?"
"You're right. He is still quite weaker than Raizen on his prime if use his full power, but he is almost there." Enki said while nodding with his eyes closed.
"Hmm. That is somehow expected if Yusuke got all of Raizen's comrades training him." Yomi replied. "However, even if he wanted to, he cannot release his full power along with Yoko and Hiei since their power might stress the Ningenkai itself. So they need to fight those Mobile Colossi and Menos Grande on their current power to reduce any additional possible damage on Ningenkai."
"And besides, instead of thinking about the current battle, we should be thinking about Nifheim Government's direct involvement in this matter after seeing the Garganta right before our eyes." Mokuro stated seriously. "Not only that they opened a Garganta and summoned some powerful Weiss, but they are also possibly attempting to defeat Hiei and the others using the powers of those Weiss."
"Indeed. With this current flow of events, any possible plans for negotiation with Nifheim will automatically be cancelled. All that we need to do right now is to see how this battle will end, then decide for the next steps that we need to do against the upcoming crisis." Koenma said as he looked intently towards the monitor. "Yoko Kurama is right. We might need the Shinobi kid's assistance on this crisis, regardless if he is someone from another realm outside of this reality."
The Makai Council nodded as they watch the monitor intently as the Three Kings battle the horde of powerful Weiss along with the Shinobi and the Justice League.
-Scene Change-
The Justice League dashed towards the looming 53 Menos Grande and 4 Mobile Colossi with the Three Kings and the Shinobi preparing to follow-up an attack and seal the Weiss. The Flash used his super-speed to run around a Menos Grande, creating a red tornado that is large enough to envelope the entire body of the Weiss. The Menos fired a Demonic beam but all it hit is Flash's after image. Hawkgirl then flew above the vortex of the tornado created by the speedster, charged her Nth Mace and slammed it on the Menos head on hi-speed. And since the Nth Mace has special property other than brute strength, the force shattered the head of the Weiss down to its upper body. Flash stopped his movement to cease the tornado he created, then Yoko Kurama took advantage of it to threw some sealing vines and absorb the entire body of the Weiss…
"Great. We have sealed the first one." Yoko smiled towards the heroes. He then drew a random rose and transformed it into his favorite weapon, the Rose Whip.
"Wow. He can manipulate plants on his will…" The Flash muttered after seeing the sealing process from Yoko.
"If that is so, then he can create specific species of plants in any given situation by using his power." Hawkgirl said. She then saw a powerful demonic beam approaching her coming from another Menos however, Hiei cancelled it out with a casual Jao Ensatsu blast.
"You should learn to analyze someone's skill while not letting your guard down." Hiei spoke coldly while in mid-air towards Shayera.
"Jerk." The Thanagarian just grunted and flew away to attack the Menos that fired the Demonic Beam against her.
Batman threw three Ice Batarangs towards the Menos that was targeted by Hawkgirl. The Batarangs froze the mid part of the Weiss while Hawkgirl slammed her Nth Mace on the frozen part of the Weiss. However, another Weiss attempted to attack Hawkgirl with a powerful punch but Hiei appeared right in front of her and sliced its arm and the wind slash created from his attack reached the Weiss's mask down to its left torso, neatly slicing the Demon.
Naruto saw this so he quickly threw two sealing tags towards the two Weiss that was shattered by Batman and Hawkgirl's attacks and Hiei's slash respectively. The moment that the sealing tag landed on the remaining part of the Weiss body, it released an insignia that enveloped the entire Weiss along with the shattered miasma from the attacks and the two sealing tags sealed their targeted Menos easily.
"I always thought you are the type of person who doesn't trust anyone easily." The Shinobi landed gracefully on the ground in front of the Dark Knight. "But here you are now, fighting together with me and those Three Kings."
"It simply doesn't mean that I already trust them when I fight together with them." Batman said while drawing another set of Ice Batarangs. "We don't have enough time to waste on determining if those three are enemy or allies. All that matters is that we are currently fighting on the same side right now."
"Yeah. If you say so." Naruto drew another set of sealing tags and flares his Hashirama-level Chakra with still active Ninpou: Fuuton: Chakra Drive. On the other side, J'onn Jonz morphed his size on the same height as that of the Menos. He then attacked multiple Menos using hand to hand combat. And those being attacked by the Martian will be followed up by the blast from Green Lantern's Ring.
The Mobile Colossi saw that the horde of Menos that they have created was slowly being annihilated, so the two of them fired a collaborated demonic beam towards the current gigantic Martian and Green Lantern. However, Yusuke blocked and swiped away the powerful demonic blast with his right arm, resulting in a large island-level explosion and fired a Reigan towards the two Mobile Colossi, only to be blocked by the other 2 Colossis using their demonic beam, resulting in a massive explosion in the atmosphere with matching powerful shockwaves.
"Thank you." The Martian replied emotionlessly.
"No problem, Green Guy!" Yusuke just smirked as he disappeared in front of them to attack another set of Menos.
"They seem to be pretty reliable allies… the Shinobi and those three newcomers." John Stewart said as he blasted another Menos, followed up by Superman's wide range Heat Vision to attack multiple Menos at the same time. After nearly disintegrating the Menos, Yoko Kurama used his plant-style sealing techniques to bind and seal the Weiss and its miasma to stop it from regenerating themselves.
A Menos then attempted to attack Yoko while sealing the Demons with a straight punch. Yoko prepared to retaliate since it is such an easy attack to dodge, but Superman stopped the incoming demonic fist with his super-strength, pushed the fist to make the Demon fall to the glaciers, then used his Frost Breath to immobilize the Menos. Yoko Kurama used another Weiss sealing plant on the frozen Weiss that was attacked by Superman.
"You don't need to block those kinds of attack for me." Yoko said in a neutral tone to Superman.
"Nonsense. Just focus on sealing these Weiss and we'll watch your backs." Superman said seriously as he flew away to assist the other from attacking the Weiss.
Wonder Woman lifted a 1000-ton glacier and used her super-strength to throw it on the set of Menos near her way. Several Menos fired some demonic beams to disintegrate the thrown glacier, clouding the location with a thick mist. Naruto then decided to assist Wonder Woman by taking a deep breath, applied some huge amount of Chakra and converting it to Wind Element, then blows it out at full force…
"FUUTON: RENKUDAN (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet)!" The jutsu expelled a violent mass of wind ball that could vaporize anything on its path. Because of the large quantity of Chakra along with the scale that Naruto can use it, the attack created a much powerful impact than the combined three Wind jutsus that Naruto used for wiping out the entire Atlantean Army.
The Wind jutsu destroyed several Menos even if they retaliated with their demonic beams while Wonder Woman follows up by punching the remaining parts of the Weiss to further delay their regeneration. Naruto then once again threw another set of sealing tags to the shattered Menos before they could even regenerate and the tags started to absorb the Weiss using a unique insignia.
"This is a hard battle." Wonder Woman spoke towards the Shinobi while floating a few meters above him.
"A hard battle?" Naruto tilted his head. "I believe this is actually a good workout!" Naruto then disappeared on his location to assist the others in fighting and sealing the Menos.
"A workout huh?" Wonder Woman just smiled as she also flew towards her Justice League teammates to fight the Menos.
And all this battle happened in less than a minute.
Naruto and Yoko Kurama were able to continuously seal the Menos successfully with the help of Yusuke, Hiei and the Justice League while protecting each other from the attacks of the other Menos and the Mobile Colossi. Actually, each one of the Three Kings and Naruto will be more than enough to battle and seal these horde of Weiss on their own however, they got a silent agreement to work with the Justice League since they doubt that these superheroes will allow them to do the cleaning on their own.
"GGGRRROOOAAAHHH!" The 4 Mobile Colossi roared after seeing the horde of Menos Grande that they created was being swept easily by their adversaries. Seemingly frustrated on the current turn of events, the four released a powerful demonic energy that once again shook the entire North Pole, alerting the Justice League, the Three Kings, and the Shinobi. Then, they saw the seals that they have created to bind and immobilize the Weiss started to crumble and collapse… surprising Naruto and Yoko.
"That's impossible! Those seals should be unbreakable!" Naruto muttered in surprise. After all, he already understood the complexity of the seals, not only because he is a Fuinjutsu Master, but also being an Uzumaki that has natural affinity with seals.
"It seems we underestimated the Mobile Colossi's ability." Yoko Kurama muttered while glaring towards the Mobile Collosis.
"What do you mean?" Batman asked in a cold tone.
Then, all the sealed Menos broke through the seals using the demonic energy that the 4 Mobile Colossi has been emitting. The Mobile Colossi then started to inhale large amounts of air that is more than enough to create a vacuum that absorbs anything near its radius.
"What the hell is happening now?" Green Lantern said as he covered the group with his Lantern Ring projection.
Then, the group saw that the Mobile Colossis started to absorb the Menos as well thru the powerful vacuum that they created and devour the Menos. This further increased the powers of the Mobile Colossi.
"This is not good. The Menos are extensions of Mobile Colossi's bodies. So even if the Menos became a separate entity from the shattered Menos Weiss, the Mobile Colossi can still manipulate them even if they are already sealed. The seals are unbreakable if you try to destroy it from the inside, but not from the outside. I believe that the Collosi already knew that the seals are vulnerable thru the outside so they used the demonic energy that they have released earlier to act as the medium to break the seal we have used to seal the other Menos outside. And now they even consume those Menos to further increase their powers for fighting against us." Yoko Kurama explained.
"So do you mean that we are back to square one?" The Flash asked Yoko Kurama.
"No. This will be a little worse than before. Now that the Mobile Colossi has devoured and absorbed the Menos earlier, this will further increase their powers and also, if their bodies will be shattered, they will create a much powerful Menos against us thru their fleshes." Yoko replied.
Then, one of the Mobile Colossi used some amazing speed to attack the group, shattering the Green Lantern's energy ring projection. The impact sent most of the heroes stumbling backwards, except Superman, Wonder Woman, the Three Kings and Naruto who were able to brace themselves from the impact.
"It has such speed despite its size?" Wonder Woman muttered.
The 4 Mobile Colossi then started charging powerful demonic beams, as if attempting to fire them simultaneously towards the group. Yusuke, Hiei and Naruto stepped forward to retaliate by charging their Reiki, Youki and Chakra respectively, as if preparing to use their powerful moves to block the demonic beams. However, the beams were not fired at them, much to their surprise. The Mobile Collosis fired the demonic beams to each other that shattered their entire body once again, sending multiple fleshes from their shattered body in random directions.
"What the…?" Superman spoke in surprise.
"Damn it. So they decided to destroy themselves to create another set of Menos Grande thru their flesh while regenerating themselves." Hiei said impassively.
"We should stop those Weiss bastards!" Yusuke yelled. "Let's go, Shinobi!"
"I guess we shouldn't." Naruto replied while observing the scenario. The shattered fleshes from random directions started to morph as new Menos Grande while the 4 Mobile Colossi regenerating in hi-speed. Now, the number of Menos' number grew to almost a hundred, each is much more powerful than the previous set of Menos. "If we attack the Mobile Colossi, the Menos will stop us. If we fight the Menos, the Mobile Colossi will just reabsorb them. We cannot seal them one by one or one at a time." The Shinobi said while thinking about the next possible move against the Weiss.
One of the Mobile Colossi leaned down and punched the ground with full force, shaking the entire landscape of the region. This made Green Lantern Hawkgirl and the Martian flew with Flash and Batman within Green Lantern's ring projection for them not to get affected by the shockwave from the ground.
"So what now? So if they cannot be sealed one at a time, then they should be sealed at the same time… simultaneously." Batman muttered.
"But we can't possibly do that. We only got the Shinobi and the fox-like guy to do the sealing thing!" The Flash replied.
"And besides, the Weiss should get a beating first that would surpass their regenerative capability so they can be sealed properly like what we have done earlier. Going with Batman's suggestion, we will need to also beat them down simultaneously to weaken and seal them successfully." The Martian said.
Their musings are then halted after sensing a powerful set of demonic beams fired towards them. Several Menos fired their demonic beams, each beam can level an entire mountain range, towards the heroes.
"Damn!" Green Lantern growled as he dropped Batman and The Flash on the ground. "One of the Demons punched the ground so we'll be airborne and susceptible for their beam attacks!" He then created a shield projection from his Lantern Ring with his full willpower to strengthen it. The demonic beams landed on the projected shield and created a powerful explosion. And due to the power of the demonic beams, the projected shield got shattered and also sent Green Lantern flying down to the ground unconscious with multiple bruises and tattered Green Lantern uniform.
"Lantern!" Superman yelled.
"John!" Shayera Hol shouted in surprise and worry as she flew to catch the falling hero.
"Those Menos bastard got more powerful and faster than before. They will no longer give us time to think anymore!" Yusuke said as he flared Reiki that shook the entire ground. "I'll be fighting on my own now. Don't try to stop me!" Yusuke said as he prepared to use his full power to beat down the Menos and the Colossis. Yusuke then disappeared from his current location and started blitzing the Menos with Reiki-enhanced strength.
"Hn." Hiei also stepped forward as he also drew his sword and blitzed the entire horde of Weiss by slashing through them.
The Weiss attempted to fight back but Yusuke and Hiei are just too fast and powerful. Each one of the Menos are being blown away or having their gargantuan body being sliced in a fraction of a second. The Menos are being beaten down even before they could start casting their demonic beams. This leaves Superman and the rest of the Justice League have their mouth hanging after seeing such feats with their own eyes.
"Their speed and power are greater than before…" Wonder Woman said.
"Well, they are doing what they need to do. They are beating down those Weiss before they could even regenerate. However, what's amazing is that they were being able to do so on each Weiss in a fraction of a second…" Superman muttered. He then levitated and charged Heat Vision on his eyes. "I'll be fighting with them." Superman flew towards the skirmish as he used his super speed and Heat Vision to further beat down the Weiss.
"I'll be going too." Wonder Woman levitated however, she was halted by the Shinobi.
"Wait. I have a plan. With things going on like this, we can be able to take advantage of this and seal those Menos and Weiss properly." Naruto said. This caught the interest of Yoko Kurama and the rest of the Justice League, except Green Lantern who is still unconscious and being treated with first aide by Batman and Hawkgirl.
"While Superman and the two Kings are beating down those Weiss, I'll prepare an attack to inflict major damage against them, enough to weaken them and seal them away simultaneously." Naruto said seriously.
"Seal them simultaneously? You have that kind of sealing ability?" Yoko Kurama asked in interest.
"Yeah. As you can see, those three who are fighting those near hundred Menos right now will give us enough time to execute this plan. However, I'll need to use a jutsu with a minute of casting time. If any of those Menos and Colossi who are fighting those three sensed what I am about to do, they will definitely try to stop and attack me. That's when you guys will come to play. I'll need you to protect me while I am casting the jutsu to deal the finishing blow and seal all these freaking Weiss at the same time." Naruto explained.
"I see. So we'll be acting as your back-up to execute the jut…. Whatever that is?" The Flash asked. Naruto nodded in response.
"Understood." Wonder Woman nodded as she, the Martian and Flash stood forward and face their backs in front of the Shinobi. They don't know why, but they do trust the Shinobi for whatever plan that he had. After all, he did the same during the Alien Invasion and also against Orm. He has already proven himself to them several times now. So all that they need to do is to believe on the Shinobi to end this long battle.
Batman and Hawkgirl heard what the heroes and the Shinobi has been talking about while tending to the injured Green Lantern.
"That Shinobi kid… This is only the 2nd time that I met him but whenever he spoke like that, he always make me feel that we should believe in him." Hawkgirl said while looking towards the unconscious Lantern.
"A leader's charisma." Batman spoke monotonously. "He has this tone that will always make you listen to him. And given the situation, he is the only one that we can trust to end this battle before it gets much worse."
"Much worse?" Hawkgirl narrowed her eyes.
"Yes. Seeing the physiology of the Demons that we have fought, Earth doesn't have any chance on defeating any Demons. These Demons are immune to most physical attacks. And physical attacks and projectiles that could hurt them will only regenerate in a few seconds. The only thing that can stop them are sealing techniques that none of us from the Justice League can do. And now, we are facing a set of Demons that could create a fresh new Demon from their own flesh. If Earth would battle such Demon using explosions and projectiles, they will only regenerate and at the same time, breed more Weiss than before. Just imagine if these kinds of Demons grew to thousands with such ability. Even the Justice League cannot stop them…"
"I see…" Harkgirl said with surprise on her face.
"So right now… the only thing that was holding those Demons from wrecking the world are those three beings and the Shinobi. We are only here as back-up to assist them. I still don't trust those three beings but if they are fighting with the Shinobi, then for now, we got no other choice but to believe in them as well." Batman finished his statement.
"I just hope that his plan will work." Hawkgirl replied.
"Being able to come up with a plan on this kind of situation… You really are something, Shinobi." Yoko Kurama said as he stood beside Naruto while observing on how Yusuke, Hiei and Superman battle the Weiss. Even if they were able to inflict major damage to the Weiss, their hi-speed regeneration was still a bit of a headache.
"That's nothing. I already am used to this." Naruto replied without looking back towards Yoko. He just remembered the time that Neji died after protecting him. He somehow became the lead of the entire Shinobi Alliance for fighting Obito, Madara, and the Juubi until before the arrival of the Edo-Hokages.
"Alright. Even if I can seal those Menos again, the Colossi will only reabsorb them to break the seal and also make them powerful. If you already have a sealing technique that will seal all of these Weiss simultaneously, then all that I got to do is believe in you." Yoko said as he handed a seed towards Naruto. "Here is a communication seed. I applied my Reiki on it so we can use it for communication. I'll join Yusuke and Hiei so I can inform them about your plan. I'll leave this to you." Yoko Kurama said seriously. He then disappeared and joined his two comrade Kings in defeating the Weiss.
"Yeah." Naruto lowered his stance and claps his palms as if he is praying. He then closed his eyes and started accumulating Chakra that can be even felt by the Three Kings even in a distance.
Yoko Kurama then summoned a Rose Whip and started to attack the flock of Menos. Yusuke used his Shottogan to destroy 8 Menos, only to regenerate after a few seconds and leaped towards Yoko. Hiei also slashed multiple Menos away while also approaching Yoko.
"What is that kid doing? He is kneading a lot of power!" Yusuke asked Yoko.
"He said that he will execute an attack that will be more than enough to weaken and seal the Weiss simultaneously. All that we need to do is to buy him some time until he had enough power to execute it." Yoko explained as quick as possible. "I hope you have also heard that with your super-hearing, Superman."
"Understood. Let's go!" Superman said as he fired his Heat Vision towards the horde of Weiss.
"Why don't you just blast these things with a single Reigan? That will be more than enough to damage and seal them." Hiei asked while slicing another regenerated Menos.
"That's what I am about to suggest but Yoko said that the Shinobi already has a plan. I also am interested on what he is about to do so I guess we should let him handle this." Yusuke smirked. The Three Kings disappeared on their current location and simultaneously attack a random flock of Weiss to destroy their bodies.
Naruto on the other hand started to deeply concentrate by gathering the Chakra that he needed to execute the attack.
"So you choose to execute that jutsu eh? Don't you think that it is a bit too much?" Juubi Kurama spoke.
"Yeah! I actually just want to try that jutsu in its lowest output possible. It is a jutsu that you taught me after all." Naruto said to his lifetime comrade.
"Hmm… Then why don't you just use a powerful Rasenshuriken instead?" The Ten-Tailed Fox inquired.
"If they got disintegrated in a cellular level thru the power of the Rasenshuriken, those Weiss will turn into a miasma. If they turn into Miasma, they will be easier to seal however, since the Menos are still part of the Colossis' body, who knows what will happen if the miasma that will be created during the disintegration of the Rasenshuriken will be absorbed by the Colossis? That's why I need a jutsu that will cover a large area that can damage the Menos and the Colossi, weakening them simultaneously, and seal them with a single Fuinjutsu!"
"Great thinking, kid. Those three so-called Three Kings, I don't know if we can actually trust them however, I can sense that they don't have any ill intent against you. If those three are also fighting against these Weiss, then it will be alright to fight with them. But just don't let your guard down no matter what when you are with them, just to be sure." Juubi Kurama said.
"Thanks, pal. I know you are always there to back me up." Naruto replied within his mindscape.
All of a sudden, the sky started to be filled with dark clouds, and they got thicker and thicker on each passing second. The wind around the area started to get colder and more ominous. The glaciers started to collapse from random directions. And the nearby cold sea increased the height of their waves.
The ground then started to shake due to the unknown forces that are starting to arise. Lightning seemingly started to gather from the dark clouds nearby, as if waiting to unleash their attack from a single command. The very Earth itself within the radius affected by the phenomenon is now waiting for its full power to be unleashed…
"What… is happening…?" The Flash muttered while looking around.
"This is as if the world itself is preparing to attack…" The Martian said with rare surprise painted on his face.
"Great Hera…" Wonder Woman said as she can feel the ground beneath her trembling.
"I doubt that I can fly properly with all those lightning loaded up in those dark clouds…" Hawkgirl muttered with her mouth hanging. "Is the Shinobi the one responsible for all of this?"
"That's the only possible explanation for that." Batman glared towards the Shinobi. "To think that he can also manipulate the weather and the very Earth itself… Is this kid really a human?"
On the other hand, even the flocks of Menos, the Three Kings, Superman, and even the 4 Mobile Colossi stopped battling with each other due to the strange phenomenon happening around them.
"The Shinobi… is responsible for this?" Superman looked around, then towards the Shinobi, only to see the Shinobi with his legs spread in a squat position, clapped palms, and closed eyes.
"I can feel it… the power that the Shinobi is using right now is far above the level of power that he used against your fight earlier, Yusuke…" Hiei muttered with a hint of surprise on his tone.
"I can sense that myself!" Yusuke replied comically. "I already knew the fact that the Shinobi is also hiding a lot more power than the one that he is using against me. That's why I also am holding back and decided not to use my Youki and only use my Reiki against him unless he decided to take the fight seriously."
"Now I can actually say that you and the Shinobi will really get along, Yusuke." Yoko Kurama said with a smile. "But seriously, this will going to be one hell of an attack… That Shinobi kid will really need to learn how to not get so overboard."
"GGGRRROOOHHH!" The Mobile Colossi roared once again, as if sensing the anomaly within their surroundings. This made the all the Menos Grande who have been able to successfully regenerated from the Three Kings and Superman's attacks dashed towards the Shinobi, ignoring the Kings and Superman.
However, they were met midway by the Martian and Wonder Woman and both attacked the Menos leading the horde with a powerful punch. Large debris flew away and some are being sent towards the Shinobi so the Flash used his super-speed to create small tornadoes from both his arms by spinning his arms in blinding speed. Hawkgirl used her Nth Mace to shatter the large debris with the help of Batman's explosive Batarangs.
Then, more than half of the Menos horde also fired demonic beams however, Yusuke, Hiei and Superman appeared in front of the other members of the Justice League and fired Reigan, Jao Ensatsu Kokuryuha, and Heat Vision respectively for a powerful, stalemate explosion with matching powerful shockwaves. Yoko Kurama slammed his palms on the glaciers and channeled some potent Reiki on his palms to summon multiple large plant vines where the Mobile Colossi and the horde of Menos were currently standing and bind them forcefully.
"Everyone! Brace yourselves and protect each other! Here comes something!" Naruto yelled as he quickly opened his eyes. The wind became more violent in every passing second and the dark clouds became much thicker than before. Several lightning started to strike the ground, as if they only barely able to control themselves for attacking. The very Earth shook more violently as well...
Yusuke, Yoko Kurama and Hiei quickly stood in front of the heroes and started charging some potent Reiki and Youki to protect the heroes from any incoming possible danger. Naruto saw this, smirked, then yelled with all his might.
"Ikke! TENPENCHII (Heaven and Earth Paranormality)!" By manipulating the natural world in its vicinity on an enormous scale, Naruto is able to simultaneously create a variety of natural disasters that devastate the surrounding area, with the user itself acting as their epicenter. The phenomena involved in this technique include: earthquakes, floods, thunderstorms, and tornadoes. This one-of-a-kind powerful jutsu is actually one of the signature jutsus of the Juubi, and being the current Ten-Tailed Beast, Juubi Kurama taught Naruto this powerful jutsu, believing that Naruto can perform it since he is his Jinchuuriki.
Naruto performed the jutsu in the lowest possible output for him not put major strain in the world's ecological balance. However, due to the passive application of Chakra Honor and Chakra Immersion, the attacks effects and destructive power is not lessened one bit. Actually, it got a lot more powerful, destructive and covered larger area than the Tenpenchii that the Incomplete Juubi has used during the 4th Shinobi World War.
"What the hell is going on!?" The Flash just muttered as he is holding some vines created by Yoko Kurama so the heroes can hold it for them not to be blown away.
"Damn it, Shinobi! You're a lot more powerful than I thought!" Yusuke grinned while bracing himself and protecting everyone with his Reiki.
"Just what kind of a being is he from his own world?" Hiei muttered in awe as he is also flaring his Youki. "Yusuke, I'll fight him next time."
"He keeps on using a lot more powerful attacks than before each and every time!" Superman braced himself.
The earthquake created by the jutsu shook the very foundation of the location where it is occurring. The glaciers were shattered and vaporized that it became one huge flood that nearly enveloped the entire region. Multiple powerful thunderstorms erupted at the same time, each strike can disintegrate anything to touches. And the tornadoes created by the jutsu are comparable to category 5 twisters in United States' scale. These concurrent events resulted in a blast akin to a nuclear explosion, even forming a vast mushroom cloud.
Overall, the jutsu created a powerful, violent destruction that could wipe out an entire country in a single instance. And its scale and power can be further magnified if the user preferred to include higher amounts of Chakra.
The violent earthquakes, tornadoes, thunderstorms subsided and the vast mushroom cloud slowly disperses. What the heroes saw after it is total destruction. A huge part of the North Pole is hollowed, none of them can see a mountain sized-glacier on their field of view, and all that they can see is a large, destroyed plain made of ice. Somewhere on it are the severely damaged near hundred Weiss with distorted and shattered body so grotesque that they cannot think it could be possible, all the Menos Grande including the 4 Mobile Colossi included. They can't help but stay in awe how possible that the Shinobi can perform such destructive, unbelievable feat.
"Now that all those Weiss has been damaged severely to this point, what does he intend to do?" Batman said, as if not caring about the aftermath of the Shinobi's jutsu. But the simple truth is that… he can't state any words in surprise as well.
"At this rate, if nothing is done, those Weiss will just regenerate back. I can seal them one at a time, but that won't be enough since at least one of those Weiss will regenerate successfully if I take time sealing each one of them." Yoko Kurama looked towards Naruto, who is still on the same position with his hands clapped in front of his face.
Suddenly, they felt another powerful surge of power coming from the Shinobi. Then, a huge crater appeared right below Naruto, as if Naruto suddenly gained huge amounts of weight. The broken debris of glaciers surrounding him started to rose above while trembling. Now, they can feel another set of earthquake is about to happen.
"Now what is it this time?" Hawkgirl said while looking around while carrying the unconscious Green Lantern.
"That kid is gathering huge amount of power once again!" Yusuke pointed out.
"I thought he have a way to seal those Weiss simultaneously? What is he doing right now?" The Martian said in wonder.
Naruto then slowly opened his clapped hands. Then, a pitch black orb with the size of a golf ball appeared in the middle of his palms. Naruto then raised both his hands on their air. Then the pitch black orb of very dense Chakra flew above, reaching the atmosphere, right above the damaged Weiss. Naruto then yelled once again after reaching his desired point for the orb in the atmosphere.
"CHIBAKU TENSEI (Planetary Catastrophic Devastation)!" Naruto once again used another Rinnegan jutsu even without having the actual Rinnegan eyes in its lowest possible Chakra output. With Naruto being the Nidaime Rikudo Sennin and physically has the body of the Six Paths, Naruto has ability to use few Rinnegan specific jutsus even without the actual Rinnegan. Kurama explained that some Rinnegan powers are not based on the Rinnegan eyes, but also if the person has the power of the Six Paths. (This is already explained on Chapters 2 and 12.)
By performing the jutsu, Naruto created a very dense black orb of Chakra that when thrown to the sky, attracted objects from all directions and pulls them into the black orb of Chakra, then compressing them simultaneously. The surrounding earth, including forests and mountains, but this time, shattered mountains of glaciers, is collected into a single point, piling on top of one another until it created a very large sphere of earth. A large crater will be left where the earth, or in this case, glaciers has been collected from. And parts of those collected parts of the growing orb are the destroyed Weiss from the Tenpenchii attack earlier by Naruto.
(This idea came from Naruto vs Pain battle. Nagato decided to seal Naruto who is in Six Tailed form during that time within the Chibaku Tensei. So Chibaku Tensei can be used as a sealing technique as well, and that's how I have done it in this fic.)
"What kind of power is that?" Wonder Woman has her mouth hanging while watching how Naruto sealed the near hundred Weiss.
"All the Menos and the Mobile Colossi got absorbed within that sphere?" Yoko Kurama muttered in awe.
"It is as if… he created a new small moon from the shattered glaciers…" The Martian is once again surprised after seeing the Shinobi's new powers.
"Are you friggin' kiddin' me? Does my eyes are playing jokes on me?" is everything that the Flash could say.
"I can't believe it…" Superman said with his eyes nailed on the floating glacier sphere.
Naruto then used Shunshin to jump towards the Chibaku Tensei and implanted multiple sealing tags around the floating glacier sphere with 2 meters in distance from each other. And after applying Chakra, multiple insignia appeared from each sealing tags and each insignia connected to each other, amplifying the strength of the seal.
"Now try breaking the seal this time, bastards." Naruto grinned as he stood on top of the floating glacier sphere. He applied additional Chakra on the seals so the glaciers used in Chibaku Tensei will not melt as long as the seals are attached to it.
"That Shinobi… what kind of a bastard is he?" Yusuke said while grinning excitedly. "I really want to fight him again!"
"Like I said, I'll be fighting him next time." Hiei said without looking towards his rival.
They then sensed the Shinobi landing a few meters away from them after applying the appropriate sealing tags on the Chibaku Tensei.
"Done! They are now all defeated and sealed!" Naruto grinned under his Kakashi-mask towards the heroes and the Three Kings, with some of them still looking towards him in disbelief. He then used another set of hand seals and the gigantic Chibaku Tensei glacier sphere disappeared in a puff of smoke. "That'll be under my custody."
-Scene Change-
"The Chosen Child… defeated and sealed the entire horde of Menos Grande and even the Mobile Colossi with a single move?" Lune gritted her teeth in anger.
"Now I can really understand why he is the Chosen Child… His powers really are an anti-thesis for us." Fiore said with narrowed eyes. "What should we do now? Not only that we fail to defeat the Chosen Child and the Three Kings, but now the Kings and the Chosen Child might work together against us. Not to mention the possible action that Valhala might do against us after we opened the Garganta."
"Damn it! I got no other choice… but to summon them…" Lune said while slamming her fist on the table.
"Summon them… you mean… the… Supreme Generals of Nifheim…?" Fiore asked in surprise.
"That's right. Their task is to locate our true targets if the Runaway Spirit Squad were still not able to locate them… but due to the current flow of events, this will leave us without any other choice but to ask their assistance…" Lune explained.
"Now I understand why you are so relaxed even if Valhala might do something against us… You are relying on the Supreme Generals…" Fiore smirked evilly. "Well, with their powers, I believe that they are more than enough to battle the Valkyries of Valhala, and even eliminate the Three Kings of Makai and the Chosen Child."
"That's right. But we still need to trigger the appropriate strings to conduct the proper sequence of events that are needed to be done. We need to execute our plan as soon as possible…" Lune said in a dark tone. "Go forth and summon my Generals, Fiore!"
"As you wish, Lune-sama!" Fiore disappeared out of nowhere with the powers of her Celestial Robe.
-Scene Change-
"The way you used your powers are quite… amazing…" Yusuke said as he approached the Shinobi and hang his right arm around the Shinobi's neck. "…now I understand why Raizen old man is wary about your powers."
"Oh, yeah. Just who is that Raizen person?" Naruto asked in wary.
"He is my ancestor. Long story. I'll tell you some other time." Yusuke smirked as he looked towards the Justice League while saying those statements. Naruto understood what the gesture meant. Yusuke don't want the Justice League to hear that story.
"I guess we really have a lot of things to talk about, Three Kings." Naruto said while looking towards Hiei and Yoko Kurama who are standing in a distance away from the Justice League. "You guys know that I won't just reveal my identity with all of you around. How should we come into contact with each other again?" He asked the Three Kings.
"Since we have already met you, we already have our own way to locate you." Yoko Kurama answered. "Yusuke, Hiei, we have already finished our objectives here. We better get moving."
"Indeed." Hiei said with his eyes closed. He then opened those eyes and look towards the Shinobi. "Next time we met, you will need to use that sword resting in your back against me." He pointed at the Sword of Nunoboku hanging on Naruto's back that is wrapped in Chakra Cloth. Naruto responded just by scratching the back of his head and a wide grin.
"We'll be approaching you once again soon, Shinobi." Yusuke walked towards his comrade Kings. "We might need your assistance soon, and it will depend on the current state of developments. But just one advice… Be always prepared… we don't know what we are dealing with." Yusuke said seriously, pointing that Naruto should prepare against assaults from Nifheim. Naruto understood the gesture and nodded.
"Understood. I still don't know if I can trust you guys, but if we will be fighting on the same side, then I'll be willing to hear you guys out and help on every possible way that I can." Naruto replied seriously.
"Wait!" Batman stepped forward while looking towards the Three Kings. "Do you think that you can just get in here and walk away just like that? We will need to talk… now!" He said with matching Bat-glare.
"That's one good glare. That reminded me of someone." Yusuke grinned while looking towards Hiei provocatively. "Well, thanks for the hospitality but you guys don't have anything on us or against us. We have completely different reason for fighting. That's why we don't have anything to talk about."
"You three possess powers that could cause a threat against the world. We cannot trust the likes of you who just appeared out of nowhere. Whether you like it or not, you three will be coming with us!" Batman spoke with a threatening tone.
"How dare you threaten us, little human..." Hiei spoke out of irritation. "You can try to stop us, but you will just end up lying on the ground before you could even blink."
"Batman, wait!" Wonder Woman stepped forward and touched Batman's shoulders. "These three helped us fighting those Demons. We may not trust them, but that is not enough reason for them to treat them as criminals if they haven't done anything wrong."
"That's right." Superman looked towards the Three Kings. "They may have a different reason for fighting but I believe that they are on the same side as of us. I can feel that they are not the ones that we should be wary about."
"That's the very reason why you can be easily deceived, Superman." Batman glared towards Kal-El. "These three have powers that can hurt or even kill you. What will you do if they are actually against us?"
"I'll fight them." Naruto replied for Superman's stead. "If they will be against the world, then I will fight them with everything that I've got!" The Shinobi then looked towards the Three Kings. "However, that will only be if they will be against us. But I can sense that they are not those kinds of person who will deceive you first to defeat you. That's why even if I don't trust them that much, I am still willing to fight alongside them."
Yusuke smirked towards Naruto while Hiei and Yoko Kurama shuts their eyes closed with a small smile. The Shinobi's character really is amusing for them.
"Then, let me ask you, Shinobi." Batman approached the Shinobi. "If the ideals of the Justice League and those three beings happened to clash, whose side will you be?"
"I'll not be on either side." Naruto quickly replied. "I'll fight when I need to... for those who are important for me."
"Nice one, kid!" Yusuke said with a big smile and thumbs up. "Well then, Botan! Let's go!"
Then, a girl with bluish hair and teenage appearance, wearing pink kimono and a wooden staff materialized out of thin air above the Three Kings. She landed gracefully in front of the three.
"So she is with you? Is she your secretary?" Naruto asked.
"Well, she's kinda my assistance way back the old times. Were just sticking together now for old time's sake. She's Botan." Yusuke introduced his former partner.
"Hi Shinobi guy!" Botan politely bowed. "You're talking like you have already seen me."
"Yeah. I was able to sense you hiding a few kilometers away from here." Naruto answered passively.
"I see. Well, it's good to know that you were able to get along with these three. I actually have a hard time dealing with them in the past." Botan smiled towards Naruto. "Well then, we'll be going now."
"Yeah." Naruto grinned to the girl while Yusuke, Hiei and Yoko Kurama nodded towards him.
"We'll definitely meet again, Shinobi kid." Yusuke smirked.
"That's already a given." Naruto nodded. And in a flash, the Three Kings and Botan disappeared out of thin air. "Now then, I'll better get moving to." Naruto said while stretching his arms.
"Shinobi." Superman approached Naruto. Naruto took a side glance towards the Man of Steel. "I know that this is the first time that you have met those three, however, I can see that you are hiding some important information about the current state events regarding the appearance of those Demons here on Earth. Can you also please tell us what is it?"
"About the Weiss…?" The Shinobi look towards Superman in a passive expression. Yes, it is true, he has a mutual agreement with the Three Kings about sharing information with the Weiss and also possibly fighting together with them to stop whatever it is that made those Weiss appear here on Earth. However, this is more than enough to make him realize that he will possibly be dealing with more powerful beings and make him involve in a possible dimensional war if nothing is done to stop whatever Nifheim is plotting. So even if the world will be involved into this, for the sake of keeping the balance between the other temporal worlds, Naruto decided not to tell anything about this Nifheim crisis.
"… well, indeed I have information that they don't have and they have information that I don't have regarding this Demon thing. But I cannot tell you guys anything yet for the sake of protecting the equilibrium of sentience. Though I doubt that this is the last time that we might face another Demon, the information involved within this problem shouldn't become a public knowledge, even for you guys." Naruto explained carefully.
"So you're saying that we shouldn't meddle with this Demon affair even if these Demons have enough power to destroy this world?" Superman asked in a determined tone. "The Justice League has an oath to protect the world with everything that we got. If these Demons will be a threat, then we'll step forward to stop it regardless of the odds. Now, we need you to tell us what's actually going on."
"I am sorry but I can't." Naruto replied. "It's not that I don't trust you guys. In fact, I do admire all of you for selflessly protecting the world on your own way. But there are information included on this matter that shouldn't be discussed to anyone. We have our own reasons to fight and also, protect those who are important for us, but there are also some limits regarding that. So you guys can just continue fighting on your own, while I'll protect the world on my own way."
"Superman… the Shinobi is right." Wonder Woman approached the Man of Steel. "Even in Themyscira, we Amazons were forbidden to meddle with the affairs of the temporal worlds to protect the balance of information and reality. Trust me, this world will not be as it is today if this conducts are not being implemented on all temporal worlds."
"Thanks, Hime." Naruto smiled towards the Princess of the Amazons.
"So what now? Should we just sit here and wait for another Demon appearing out of nowhere with us not having any information who were dealing with?" Batman asked in irritated tone.
"Don't worry. I'll be fighting any Weiss that will appear. That will be my job." The Shinobi assured the Justice League.
"I see. That's reassuring." J'onn Jonz spoke while looking towards the Shinobi. "You're powers are the only thing that we knew that could hurt and seal the Weiss."
"By the way, is Lantern guy alright?" Naruto then remembered what happened to Green Lantern. He also then realized that most of the heroes have some injuries of sorts, including Superman since they are fighting beings with magical powers whom he is vulnerable with.
"Yeah. He is just unconscious and the power of his Lantern Ring ran out. But otherwise, he is fine." Hawkgirl said.
"Damn, I should have done this sooner." Naruto said with squinted eyes. He then performed another set of hand seals… "FUUTON: IYASHI NO KAZE!" The heroes then felt a very soothing wind mildly blowing around them. Naruto just performed a very special jutsu that can only be performed by those from Uzumaki Clan. It is the only elemental jutsu that has healing properties to heal any physical wounds and damage on a certain area desired by the user. (This is the Wind Technique from Fuu Hououji of Magic Knight Rayearth). Though the jutsu can heal any physical wounds and damage, it cannot heal or restore energy, Chakra, or heal incurable diseases and illness unlike the healing that was being done by medical Shinobis and doctors.
"You also have this kind of power?" The Flash said while looking towards the disappearing bruises from his arms and legs. "Now, after manipulating the Earth's weather, creating a moon-like structure, and now healing wounds, what other else can you do? Or specifically, what are the things that you can't actually do?"
"Haha… That's nothing, really." Naruto grinned while scratching the back of his head. "No matter how powerful you may become, there are still a lot of things that you cannot do alone." Naruto then started walking away.
"Thank you, Shinobi." Superman smiled. "Even if I still cannot accept that you're not willing to share the information regarding those Demons to us, we are thankful for fighting alongside us. You have a lot of abilities and powers that could be used for changing this world, yet you choose to use it to fight on our side. For that, we are always thankful to you…"
"No worries." Naruto just replied as he prepared to use Hiraishin to return to the temple where his friends are waiting.
"…that's why taking advantage of this situation, we are humbly inviting you to join the Justice League and fight with us for protecting the world against any other threats…" Superman finished his statement with anticipation from his voice. Behind him stood the now healed Justice League members, excluding Green Lantern who is being carried by Hawkgirl. They all have smiles painted on their faces, except the Martian who is emotionlessly looking towards him, and Batman… for no specific reason.
"Thank you for your invitation." Naruto smiled towards the Justice League. He has already seen this a mile away, and he tried to avoid bringing this topic up a few times already. But here it is right now. It all comes down to accept or decline the invitation.
"But…" Naruto said while grinning, surprising the Justice League, except Batman. "…I am different from you guys. You guys choose to fight for the sake of justice that you believed in and for the sake of everyone. But I'll only fight for those who are important for me... I can't protect everyone like you guys always do. You guys are already heroes on your own way. However, I am a Shinobi before I became a hero. I am a Shinobi, the one who endures… fighting for what I always believed in within the shadows… and that's how I'll always be… So I humbly decline your invitation... I am sorry, Superman, everyone."
"You have the power to make the world a better place, but you only decide to use your power for your own convenience. That's what it sounds to me." Batman said with sarcasm on his tone.
"You are somehow right about that, Batman." Naruto replied. "If I stick around with your team, it may endanger those who are precious to me. And besides, Earth already has you guys. I believe that you guys have enough power to protect the world. While me, on the other hand, might got close to those who got interested in my power if I join your crusade. And that is when a real threat might arise. So before it could happen, it will be best to not join the Justice League for the best. But that doesn't mean that I won't help you guy every once in a while." Naruto finished his statement with a grin.
"Understood." Superman nodded along with Wonder Woman. The Martian didn't react, but Flash and Hawkgirl somehow expressed some disappointment thru his facial expression. "If that's what you have decided upon, then we don't have any right to change your mind. But remember that we will always be at your aide if you need it."
"Thank you." Naruto smiled in a more natural way this time. He then used Hiraishin to disappear right in front of the heroes in a bright flash...
"That kid…" Batman muttered as he observed the damage inflicted by the battle in the North Pole. "…along with those other three beings… they have enough power to create such devastation. And who knows if they actually are using their full powers… Regardless of their objectives, we should prepare just in case a time comes when we need to fight them."
"You're right Batman." Superman spoke. "But those Demons are more of a threat than them. And those four are the ones who are closer to the truth behind the appearance of these Demons. They are fighting to protect not only the Earth, but also the balance of other temporal worlds as Diana mentioned earlier. And I believe that if something like this might happen again, the Shinobi and those three beings will step up and fight alongside with us again."
"Believing is different from possible events and available facts. Regardless of the reason why they are fighting, they still have power that could cause great threat if it falls in wrong hands. And that will be a much greater threat than any Demons that we may face." Batman started walking away towards his Bat Plane.
"Oh well, Batman has a reason to be wary. Just look what happened on this place during their fight." Hawkgirl said.
"Just what have we gotten ourselves into?" The Flash sighed.
"If everything is over here, then we better return to Atlantis to help Aquaman restore peace and order on the city." The Martian suggested.
"Alright. You guys can go ahead. I'll use my breath to fix North Pole. And seeing the scale of destruction here, I believe it will take some time." Superman levitated as he flew away.
"Let's go." Wonder Woman spoke in behalf of the other members of the Justice League as they marched over to the Javelin. The long battle has finally been over.
Superman watched as his teammates leave the North Pole. He then once again looked around while levitating. The damage that has been done during the battle is so devastating. He just can't imagine what will happen if this kind of battle happen in a populated city. Batman might be right. With these powerful beings lurking around, they need to be prepared no matter what.
"The Shinobi… and those three being… along with those Demons… with them around, sooner or later, I'll be needing to fight without holding back. That time, they will understand how powerful I really am…" He said as he inhaled deeply and released his Frost Breath from his lungs to repair the broken glaciers on the entire North Pole…
