Punch the Limit 8

His godly chakra reserves? All gone. Amazing and destructive jutsu?Can't use 'em. Weak?Not even close. If all else fails then good old fashion exercise will help.Unfortunately, he may have overdone it because now Naruto is bored."How'd you get so strong?" "Push ups, sit ups, and plenty of orange juice!"

Boom! Crash!

"You really need to work on your aim."

Boom! Crash!

"Seriously, I'm barely moving…" Naruto muttered while dodging an explosion of flame. The once beautiful cafe was reduced to rubble thanks to Naruto's new opponent. He would have never expected his small meeting to have devolved into such a cluster fuck. A glowing piece of rubble came spiralling towards Naruto as he pondered and then exploded like frag grenade. He shook off the debris and frowned. All this destruction of plaster was ruining his clothes and Naruto was starting to become very annoyed with the man in front of him.

"How do you like my power mortal?" the mountain of a man gloated. Naruto shrugged in response. His power wasn't all that amazing to be honest. Sure, he was large and overly muscled with explosive power, but that really meant nothing if the attacks had no affect.

"I don't know man, maybe you're overcompensating for something with all that bravado of yours. Plus aren't you mortal too?" This seemed to further anger Naruto's enemy causing Heracles to punch the ground making it erupt in fiery blossoms. Naruto jumped backwards and found that he had retreated to where Tsuna was currently battling the other member of the so called "Khaos Brigade".

"Hey! I saw you do those air quotes! Did you just mock our team name again?!" Heracles yelled. Naruto grinned with a shrug. It was fun to piss this guy off.

Naruto took a long gulp of his drink, a chocolate and banana smoothie if he remembered. Delicious. Beside him, Mittelt was shoveling food into her mouth like it was going out of style. He had to stifle a sigh at her table manners. Reminded him of himself and ramen.

"Your friend really enjoys the food, huh?" Naruto turned towards his hosts and nodded. He had to admire the way that Tsuna held himself. The man exuded leadership, like a lion amongst a pride. "Namimori isn't especially well known for its dining areas, but what we do have gives a sense of comfort. It is a feeling I do greatly enjoy," Tsuna continued while sipping his drink.

"I can see it," Naruto replied. "It reminds me of my old home."

"Oh, and where did you come from Naruto?"

Naruto paused for a moment, contemplating on how to answer the other man's question. No one, but Sona knew of Konoha. His trio of Fallen girls didn't know much, and he still wasn't ready to give his full story. It was getting harder to not just blurt out, "Hey guys, I'm from another dimension!" to anyone who asked. He didn't like lying, he was never good at it.

"Naruto?" Mittelt elbowed him and nodded her head to Tsuna who sat waiting, wearing a worried look over the long silence.

"Everything okay?"

"Oh! Sorry, was just thinking about a few things. I come from a small village, not unlike this town. It was beautiful. Warm summers, chilly winters, and the leaves changed during the fall. If you really wanted to, you could meet everyone there," Naruto said with a wistful smile.

"It sounds wonderful. What made you leave?"

"I had some...complications and was relocated."

Tsuna hummed at Naruto's response. It was vague, but they had just met. He didn't expect the white haired boy to divulge everything. However, there was something he did want to know.

"I'd love to hear about it some more, maybe at a later time. On another note, I was hoping you could answer a few questions of mine. For one, how did you find me?" Tsuna didn't receive a response. He gazed at Naruto for a moment before carrying on. "You see, I'm not a very secretive person, or I try not to be. In town, people know me. However, to the outside world I shouldn't even be a blip on the radar."

Tsuna steepled his fingers before resting his chin on them. The once calm and light mood had devolved into a tense atmosphere. Even Chrome's shy and demure look had turned calculating, her lone eye surveying the two.

"So again, how did you find out about me?"

Naruto was silent, his mind a storm of thoughts. He could lie, but he was never very good at that. Plus he was always a blunt person to begin with. Besides, if he wanted Tsuna's trust he should be honest. Who knows? Perhaps the older man would believe him.

"Have you ever heard of the Khaos Brigade?" Tsuna shook his head, so Naruto continued. "I wasn't one to become involved in other people's affairs at first. But recently, I've noticed that if I do nothing, good people can get hurt. People who have no connections to the supernatural world."

At the word 'supernatural' Tsuna and Chrome glanced at one another. The look did not go unnoticed, and Naruto was thankful that he had grown more perceptive over the years. It seemed that Azazel was correct in his findings. Namimori was no ordinary town.

"I see you two have an idea of what I mean. That makes explaining this easier," Naruto said and scratched his cheek. "You see, I've sort of been roped into finding a few interesting things in the world. I live in Kuoh right now, have you heard of it?"

"I have. Would you like my honest answer?"

"You have a fake answer?"

"Yes, for people who don't know about our world. Look, I know all about that beacon of craziness that is your town. Angels, Devils, those black winged Angels; yours is place of odd I wish not to tread on," said Tsuna with a wry smile. "But here's the thing, my town doesn't have to deal with that. I try and make sure it doesn't, so are you here to bring something in Namimori?"

"Oh no, no, no! Nothing like that dude!" Naruto said waving his arms almost knocking Mittelt over.

"Oi! Watch it!" Mittelt growled. Naruto apologized quickly and turned back to Tsuna.

"Back to this, I promise I am not trying to bring any kind of craziness to you. I'm here because you are able to keep your area safe from everything. And this is why I feel like the Khaos Brigade is coming to check on you." Chrome raised her hand at the end of Naruto's explanation, a confused look mirrored in her eye.

"But who are the Khaos Brigade? You keep mentioning them, however we haven't heard nor seen anything related to them. Have we?" Chrome said and looked to her companion for confirmation. Tsuna gave her a shake of his head and reached into his suit pocket. His hand pulled out a small booklet, leather bound with a beautiful insignia depicting a bullet and intertwining guns. Opening it up, Naruto could see fancy script scrawled over the pages. Tsuna flipped about and finally stopped on a page.

"I have encountered much during my time. I can only assume that you know what I am, seeing as what we are talking about."

"Leader of the Vongola, also known as Vongola Decimo, correct?"

"Actually Neo Primo Vongola, but it's the same thing. Anyways, this title comes in handy when negotiating, but it is also given to me because I can control this area. My ability to handle myself is what has made finding me so hard. I'm not one to actively search for trouble Naruto, so you would have to excuse me for my previous behavior," Tsuna explained and clicked open a pen. "So would you mind giving me what you know about the Khaos Brigade?"

Naruto was about to open his mouth when he felt a powerful presence appear from behind. He turned to see two young men come striding up towards them. Naruto couldn't feel anything strange emitting from the two, so he assumed they must be human. However, the one next to the bespectacled blond was enormous. Larger than most people he had met, and the people he had met of that size were trying to kill him. Well, mostly…

"I do believe we would be able to shed a bit of light on that topic Mr. Sawada," said the blond. His manner of speech perfectly matched the prim and proper sort of vibe Naruto was getting. No one who wore a suit like that would be caught talking like him. Plus, his speech was smooth. Too smooth. The former ninja had past dealings with smooth talkers.

"Oh, and who might you gentlemen be?" Tsuna asked, his gaze calculating.

"Forgive me, I should have introduced myself and my partner first. My name is Arthur and my companion here is Heracles. We've come to ask you for a proposition. However, I did not know we would be interrupting your meeting. My apologies. This is quite the coincidence because we also would like to speak with you as well Mr. Uzumaki." Naruto bristled.

"How do you know my name?"

"You were also someone our group wanted to speak with. Please," Arthur opened his palms trying to convey he meant no harm. "I merely wish to speak with regards to your previous topic. I am part of the Khaos Brigade, a group I am hoping you two would be willing to join." At that statement, Naruto sent a quick glance towards Mittelt.

"All things considered, I know nothing of your organization. What is your goal, your purpose? Why are you doing what you do?" Tsuna asked while twirling his pen. "I need to know so that I can better understand if joining you would be a good idea."

"I can tell you all that I know from my experience. I am not the leader, but her cause is a just one. We are doing our best to help a poor soul gain back her home. She was cast out by a horrible beast, sentenced to walk the world alone. But we," Arthur waved his hand for extra emphasis at this point, "we will be the ones to right this wrong. We will be the ones to help this poor child!"

Naruto gave Arthur a long look. Practically everything out of the other boy's mouth was nothing but bullshit. He may have lost many of his abilities, but sensing negative emotions, that just became innate after much experience dealing with assholes. So, when this playboy looking wannabe started spouting out big words and flowery phrases, Naruto knew he couldn't trust him. From the look that Tsuna had, he was able to pick up on this as well.

Tsuna had just finished scribbling something in his notebook before closing it with a sharp snap. Placing it back in his suit, he gave the Khaos Brigade members a long look. Arthur was calm, a peaceful smile on his face. Heracles looked restless though, almost as if he would rather be anywhere else. Naruto noticed that the man's muscled tightened then relaxed numerous times. He was antsy.

"I'm afraid I don't believe you." Tsuna's reply was short and to the point. "And for that I will have to decline your generous offer." Arthur looked taken aback. It was almost like people didn't say no to him very often. He was about to speak once more when Heracles stepped forward. The massive man towered over the people at the table. His frame gave him an intimidating look — well it would have if Naruto gave a fuck.

"Listen punk, we've tried playing the nice way. Now it's gonna be my way. You're gonna come with us. Our boss has need of your services," Heracles said. His voice dripped with arrogance and his eyes glowed with a sense of bravado born from numerous won battles.

Chrome stood up and stepped between Heracles and Tsuna and looked up. Naruto was amazed at the shy sounding girl. Who knew she had such fire! Her one eye bore into both of his with the force of a hellcat.

"You have no right to speak to Boss like that. Apologize. Now."

"Damn~" Naruto whistled lowly.

Heracles, for his part looked appalled. It was like Chrome's words physically slapped him. His shock turned to anger.

"Who do you think you are speaking to me like that? I will not be talked down to by some wench!"

"This wench will put you in your place. Apologize," Chrome countered. Heracles let a roar of anger and threw out his fist. It was stopped cold, and Heracles was now staring into fiery orange eyes. He looked towards his fist and saw Tsuna, the man's hand holding back the larger man.

"Now why would you go and do that?" Tsuna asked before flicking his wrist. Heracles was sent flying backwards and tumbled away. "Chrome, evacuate the area. I don't expect our friends to be too happy now." Tsuna's voice was calm and powerful, it was a sharp contrast to his jovial personality from before. Chrome, for her part, saluted and rushed off.

The people were already starting to rush off, Naruto noticed. What was interesting for him was the fact that none seemed too afraid or amazed at the older boy's actions. Perhaps Tsuna truly was well known here, but a closely guarded secret to others. He also noticed that Arthur no longer had that fake smile that was plastered on his face.

"Mittelt, help Chrome get as many people away from this area as well."

"Wait, what?! But I can help!" Mittelt argued.

"You can help by protecting people. I've got this," Naruto replied.

"We've got this you mean." Naruto turned to Tsuna as he slipped on strange looking gloves. They had glass domes kon the top and scribbling inside. Naruto couldn't make it out, but he didn't know why they would have such fragile material on it. "I will not have someone attack my subordinate and get away with it."

Arthur frowned and gazed at the retreating people. For his part, he didn't want this to happen, but he was prepared. His partner was too much of a hot head, but he was a strong hot head. Just as he thought that, Heracles roared and jumped forward.

"DIE!"

"No thanks," Naruto said and leaped up to meet the giant. He parried the punch with his hand and grabbed the offenders wrist. Defying the laws of gravity and physics, he spun in the air and sent Heracles into the ground. The man crashed down into a crater with a grunt. Naruto landed lightly and turned towards a surprised Tsuna.

"That was a bit shocking," Tsuna stated.

"I'm an interesting individual. Sorry for taking this guy. I know you probably wanted to beat on him since he attacked your girl, but he was really getting on my nerves," Naruto said while cracking his knuckles.

"Oh, it's 't get me wrong, I would have preferred him, but I just would rather have them both leave my town." Tsuna then turned to Arthur. "And I would prefer if you do that now."

Arthur's scowl deepened. He adjusted his glasses and let out a tired was spiralling out of control. Ophis would not be pleased. They were meant to recruit these strong individuals, and he was hoping he would be able to use them for his own purpose. What a day.

"Unfortunately, I am not able to do that. My master would be very displeased if I let such a boon go without a bit of persuasion."

"And who might your master be?"

"I am not at liberty to say," Arthur answered to the Vongola leader. "It is sad we must fight, but as they say," he opened his hand and an elegant sword flashed into his grip. It was beautiful with a golden handle fit for a king. He pointed it at Tsuna. "Yield."

Tsuna gazed at the sword and then looked back at Arthur. He raised his hands and they exploded into flames. Above his brow, another ball of fire started to grow till it spread forth, a crown of flames encapsulating his head. Tsuna and Arthur stared at one another, orange eyes glowing with a calm ferocity meeting a cold gaze of frosty blue.

"I'd rather not," Tsuna answered. And then they vanished from view.

Naruto jumped over a punch that left the ground crumbling. He then stepped on the fist and lashed out with his foot. Flesh met Nikes and Heracles went flying backwards once more. Naruto counted three, no wait, four times he had sent the large man flipping on his ass. He loved every second of it.

Heracles pushed himself up, his face red with fury. How dare this boy make a fool of him! He would not be looked down on by the likes of him! His fist clenched and he let loose a roar as he punched out.

Naruto's eyes widened at the bolt of energy that was coming towards him. He quickly backhanded the attack into the air where it exploded. He looked at the sky then back to his opponent. Things just got a little more fun.

"Are you amazed now mortal? Feast your eyes upon the power that is Heracles," the man said. It was almost like he didn't care that his attack was just bitch slapped away. "I am a God amongst men, descended from the original Heracles of old. Let that sink-!"

"Okay, hold up. So let's first get something straight here. You keep saying your name wrong."

"I'm sorry?"

"Your name," Naruto said. "You keep saying it all weird. Not to be mean, but do you have a speech impediment. Cause if you do, I'm sorry about that." Heracles blinked in confusion at Naruto's legitimately concerned tone. "Let me help you out. What you're looking for is Hercules."

"What? No! My name is Heracles!"

"No, no. Hercules. Say it with me. Her-Q-Lease. Like that."

"Are you mocking me?"

"Of course not! Just wanna make sure you say your name right." Heracles screamed in anger and sent out a barrage of explosive bolts careening towards Naruto. He was shocked and frustrated that such a weak looking boy was beating him. It was inconceivable. How dare he have the gall to mock his name!

"Give up mortal!"

Naruto huffed and grabbed an explosive energy ball from the air. He spun and sent it back, a perfect curveball throw. It spiralled around, dipped low, then slammed into Heracles face. The man flew back as it exploded and he skid across the ground. Naruto dusted off his hands and blew his hair from his eyes. Such horrible split ends.

"You done over there big man?" Naruto received no response. "We all good?" Still nothing. He sighed and scratched his head. Maybe it was time to help out Tsuna. He needed to get back to his little task of searching the world.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"

Naruto groaned. Maybe he should just kill him?

Xxx

Tsuna parried a slash from Arthur and spun under another swipe. This man was actually quite the formidable foe. He was able create objects from thin air, strange weapons that he had to blast from the air. Tsuna flew backwards and landed lightly. His opponent had jumped backwards as well. Perfect. He pointed his hand at the falling blond. He saw Arthur's eyes widen.

"X-Burner!"

Arthur created a platform of air and had to dodge a concentrated beam of fire. It impacted the earth and Arthur gaped at the molten crater it left. Quite powerful indeed. He landed gently on the ground and created a horde of magical daggers. They spun slowly and jettisoned towards Tsuna.

"X-Stream!" Tsuna flew upwards while twirling. The flames swirled up and sent the daggers cascading away. He backflipped to the ground and his senses told him to dodge. A good thing he did, because just as he moved a blade occupied his head's former spot.

"Such senses… how do you dodge so easily?" Arthur muttered. Tsuna slid away and fiery blades erupted from his knuckles.

"Intuition I guess," Tsuna replied. Arthur scoffed and the two rushed at one another. They clashed then separated. They clashed once more and then broke away. This repeated numerous times, their bodies dancing around one another. Sparks sprang from the two like fireflies flitting away.

Arthur kicked off from his opponent. He then closed his eyes and pointed the blade at Tsuna. "Step down now. Come with me and all will be well." Arthur's voice came out smooth, strong. It was like a wave of charismatic power.

Tsuna felt his body stop. A nagging feeling settled upon his mind. It was cold and dark. Like something was trying to claw its way in. Was...was he being controlled? They dare?!

"Do you know what you're trying to do?" Tsuna growled out. His crown roared with fiery power and his gloves glowed till they were pure white. Arthur had to cover his eyes from the heat and brightness.

"Wha-?!"

"Burning Axel!" Arthur quickly summoned a dozen barriers of light in front of him. Tsuna crashed through each and every one of them like tissue paper. His fist of fire was inches away from Arthur and the man held in a groan from the heat it gave off. It felt like his face was melting.

Arthur jumped backwards and flickered away. He took a moment to breath. This situation was getting worse. He knew it might have ended up in a fight, but to further his plans, having the young Sawada would be most favorable. However, with the situation at hand Arthur was positive that Tsuna wasn't going to be cooperative.

"You need to leave."

"This is not turning out how I hoped…" Arthur's gaze sharpened. Cold steel clashed against eyes of flaming anger. Words were no longer appropriate. Actions only. They tensed, muscles coiled. It was time.

"Hey! I saw you do those air quotes! Did you just mock our team name again?!"

"Oh my God! You're even annoying me! And that's saying something!" Tsuna and Arthur paused and turned. Naruto's voice seemed to convey his emotions very well.

"Annoying?! You dare?"

"Destruction Vacuum of the Uncaged Bird!" Arthur jumped backwards and watched Heracles dig a deep trench in the ground with his body. The man looked like he had been through a blender. His arm even looked like it wouldn't work anymore! It was black, blue, and crushed. He coughed and looked up towards Arthur.

"He….he's a monster…"

"Oi! I resent that!" Naruto said as he walked towards the group. Tsuna turned towards the completely unscathed boy with a baffled look. Naruto dusted his hands off and sighed. "He was just getting so irking man," he muttered. Tsuna nodded mutely. Was he that strong that he wasn't even touched? What a mystery.

Arthur pulled Heracles up and the two turned towards the other two. They had failed. Ophis would not be happy, but it would only be a small bump in the plans. If Arthur was honest, he would admit that the white haired boy had been a very unwelcome part of this meeting. Could he have beaten Tsuna? Possibly, but even if he had lost, Heracles would have been there to back him up. However, they had stayed too long.

Almost as if the universe had heard his thoughts, a dark portal of energy appeared behind the two Khaos Brigade members. Arthur gave it a glance then turned back.

"It seems our conversation is done. It is unfortunate that we could not come to agreement, but not all things can come to a peaceful resolution. Till then," Arthur turned and pulled a cursing Heracles along. "Until we meet again."

Naruto watched them leave, their forms sucked into the dark abyss. If he really strained his ears, he swore he could hear laughing. It was higher pitched. Almost like 'nyahaha'. He shook his head.

"It's been too long of a day," Naruto sighed out. He turned and gave Tsuna a nod. "I think this cements the idea that you have a few people looking for you," he said. Naruto received a nod from the man.

"So it seems," replied Tsuna as the fires around him dwindled. "I was hoping to have stayed under the radar. Sadly, it looks like I've been wrapped up in another odd situation." He pulled his gloves off and placed them into his suit. He then placed his finger to his ear. "It would seem that we have to convene. Gather my Familia and the Varia. I will see you soon."

"Varia?" Naruto asked.

"You'll see. In due time, for now this is where we will leave off. It has been a pleasure meeting you. I do believe I will be calling on your services soon." Tsuna held out his hand and Naruto shook it with gusto. "This is the beginning of a wonderful partnership."

Xxx

Naruto hummed a happy tune while he flew in the air. He had to admit, being carried in the air was quite peaceful. Kalawarner was holding him up on their way home, her reason being that Mittelt must be tired already. Naruto didn't mind it. Their bullet train made great time and their little vacation was quite amazing, if only for a few days. They were going to head out again, but stocking up at home and contacting Azazel was a priority.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself," Raynare said as she flew close.

"Of course! Remember when we first met?"

Raynare gave it a thought then shivered. The image of a white haired boy that punched a light spear like it was styrofoam still haunted her. Then she recalled his words.

"You said you used to be able to fly?"

"You got it!" Naruto chirped. "I used to have a whole bunch of awesome abilities."

"Oh? And what happened to them?" Kalawarner asked.

"I pissed off a god…" Naruto sulked. The three fallen angels blinked in shock. Naruto sounded like he was pouting, but they couldn't tell if he was joking. They were about to ask more when Naruto gave a sound of surprise. "Well would you look at that!"

All eyes panned downwards towards the Kuoh school. They were nearing home and were quite high up so no one could see them. Their view could encompass most of the town, but Naruto was more interesting in the numerous rocks flying into the air. The group changed their direction and glided towards the old Kuoh grounds.

"It looks like a battle," Mittelt said while gliding in the air. She could make out a group of people, their forms a bit hard to see from the distance. However, if she were correct, it looked like those Devils Naruto was friends with. "And the battle seems to be at a close."

"Oh! Let's go down there!" Naruto said in girls gave Naruto a bewildered look. He ignored it. "Come on! It will be fun!"

"Your idea of fun is not the same as my idea of fun," deadpanned Kalawarner. She felt Naruto shrug in her hands.

"Fine~ Just drop me down then. I wanna see what all the fun is about." Naruto received a sigh in response and felt them shift directions. "Nice." They flew close and Naruto shifted. "I'm going down!"

"Don't be dumb!" Mittelt screamed as Naruto fell. He laughed. She forgot that they dropped him from practically five stories. They think he would do something dumb? No… He was gonna do something amazing. As he neared the ground he let out a roar of glee.

"SUPERHERO LANDING!"

BOOM!

"BE JOYOUS FOR I AM-."

CRACK!

Naruto stopped mid sentence when he felt a force slam into his head. He frowned and was about to turn and speak. Then...his clothes blasted off. All was silent.

"Now," Naruto began and turned to the offender. It was a blue haired girl with eyes wide in shock. "Why did you have to go and do something like that." She opened her mouth, but words didn't come out.

For her part, Xenovia was speechless. She was about to completely dominate the repugnant sword summoning Devil. Then this odd boy dropped from the sky! She couldn't stop her swing in time. At first she was horrified. Was she about to kill someone needlessly? When her sword struck, she was not prepared for the numbing sensation in her hands. It was like hitting steel with a stick. Then her shockwave went forward. His clothes… he was naked. He was naked. Her mind went haywire.

"Nothing?" Xenovia shook herself from her trance. Sapphire eyes surveyed her. "Well… allow me...to give my response." The boy lifted his hand. A finger pulled back crossed her vision. Then… pain.

The crowd watched Xenovia fly back from the gunshot flick. She tumbled, slid, then stopped. Naruto then turned to the rest of the group. No one dared to speak.

"If someone doesn't get me pants soon, I'm gonna be pissed."

A brown haired girl with her hair tied in twin tails gulped and quickly grabbed the one Naruto had flicked. He watched her rush away with her swirly eyed compatriot in hand while shaking her fist, sword in hand.

"You may have won this round Issei! But the battle will continue!" She said as she rushed off. Naruto turned to the tired Issei and poked him with a toe.

"Gimme your pants."

Xxx

Naruto sat in a cafe sipping on some tea. He was sitting in between the two strange girls he had met earlier that day. After gaining clothes and meeting his girls at the apartment, he had followed Issei. The boy was horrible at sneaking around. After confronting him and his little rag tag group, they happened upon what Naruto now knew as Exorcists. Now, with the group talking and Kiba having joined in, Naruto was simply observing.

"Even for the Church, that's one of their biggest turn-offs," Xenovia said. "The person in charge of that project was exiled as a heretic and turned to the side of the Fallen Angels."

"The Fallen Angels?" Kiba muttered. "What was their name?"

"Valper Galilei, so called 'The Archbishop of Massacre'." Irina stated as she ate another dumpling. Naruto quietly stole one of hers and ate it quietly. She didn't need them all…

"So he followed the Fallen Angels and they got him… Actually I was attacked by someone with a Holy Sword. His name was Freed Selzen. Do you know him?" Kiba asked.

Issei let out a squawk and yelled out that he knew him. Naruto then noticed the two holy girls look at each other.

"He was a genius," explained Irina. "He was taught by the Vatican department as their golden child. He became too much, however, and even attacked his own brother. Also," Irina then looked at Naruto and pouted. "That was my dumpling!"

"And now it is in my tummy. I'll buy you something else. Hurry up and explain." The girl huffed and grumbled before going on.

"He never had an ounce of faith. He only killed because it made him happy. He was practically like the monsters he so claimed to hate." Irina finished her statement and the group sat in silence.

"I can see that," Issei whispered. "He was insane, only wanting to inflict pain. He truly is more evil than you can imagine."

"Then it is about forming a plan to maneuver when Freed is busy. We will make a plan of attack soon," Xenovia said as she got up. "Contact me here if you need to. We will pay you back Red Dragon Emperor Hyodou Issei." She said and gave Issei a paper. She then turned and started for the door.

"Thanks for the meal Issei! God will forgive me as long as it's your treat!" Irina said as she bound off. Issei gave a sigh and rubbed his temples. Irina was as rambunctious as she was when they were kids. Still hard to believe she wasn't a boy. He heard chuckling from the side and turned.

Naruto was wiping his mouth and smiling. This whole situation was enjoyable. It really was like the times he had in Konoha, making missions with people you don't enjoy. That was one of the things about being a ninja, you had to work with those that you may dislike. It was a career choice. It would seem the little Devils were going to have to work with the Exorcists for a joint cause. All for a sword. He let out another laugh.

"What's so funny?" Issei asked.

"Just remembering something. It seems you all have quite the situation," Naruto said.

"You could say that," muttered Kiba. "This has been my life purpose...revenge for my fallen brothers and sisters. I can finally achieve it. This is a possibility I can't pass up."

Naruto hummed. Living for revenge. Now that brought up a good idea. "You guys busy?" Naruto received a negative from the group. "Then I think I know just the guy to help you guys out."

"Wait? You're not going to help?" Issei asked in worry.

"You are strong. We could use your help." Koneko stated quietly. Naruto held in saying 'Daawwwwww!' at the girl's quiet voice. She was adorable, but he had work to be done.

"If this Kokabiel person is who I think it is, I will be helping. The sword part is another issue. Now if you will all follow me, let's go on a field trip!" He popped off the seat and started to head towards the door. He didn't look behind him to see if the others were following, mostly sure they would. His intuition was correct as he heard the footsteps of the others behind him. Time to see an old friend.

The group continued onwards, their destination entirely up to the white haired boy. He continued towards the business district of Kuoh. This was the area where many small shops and businesses resided. For Issei, he only knew of this place because this was where his family tried getting him to take lessons for something or other. He wouldn't have it though. Lessons would take time from his lovely relationship with peeping.

They finally stopped at a small building. From what the group could see, it was fairly nice. It looked homey, and well taken care of. Koneko gave it a more detailed glance and then gave a sniff. It smelled of polish, wood, and steel.

"Swords?" Koneko asked. Just as she said this Naruto knocked.

"Coming!" the group heard. Footsteps went thud against flooring. The door slid open and a young boy looked through. "What's up?"

"Hey kid," Naruto started. "Mind if I talk to your teacher?" The kid shrugged then screamed out.

"HEY OLD MAN! You got company!" He yelled. He then rushed off as the sound of cursing could be heard.

"For the last time! I'm not fucking old you...little… oh damn it."

"Well, I mean you could be," Naruto said while failing to hold in his laughing. The rest of the group took in the man with his wild black hair and very thick glasses. "With those on, everyone would have called you Old Man Sasuke!" Naruto burst out laughing.

"Fuck you Uzumaki…"

And done~ As I said up at the top, I'm very sorry this has taken so long. I don't want to give excuses on why, but the beginning of the year was a cluster fuck for my family. Deaths, drama, and dumb shit. The three Ds of making a person lose motivation.

Anyways, yes say hello to Sasuke. You guys may have been wondering about him after the Shinigami, or not. Maybe you didn't give two fucks. But he's here. Will he be prominent, who knows. Find out soon!

Also! Continue down for a little surprise. A small look into the past in this story. Have fun!

He was lost. There was no way to sugar coat it. And to be honest, he could only blame his insufferable bad luck. The road leading home should have been this way, but for some reason he got sidetracked. Never again. He would never play that dumb ass stupid mobile game again. Seriously, why would someone go to strange places they had never been before just for an app?

'Such misfortune.'

A sigh escaped his lips. Uncle Chuck would be worried. Who could blame him? It was getting late and nothing looked familiar. A sound broke the silence. He turned towards it. It sounded like a scream.

'Don't do it. Just leave it be.'

An explosion rang out. He couldn't leave that be. Feet slammed into the muddied ground, wet slaps echoing into the forest. If someone was hurt and he could have done something, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself. The cries were getting louder. He was almost there.

"Who's there?"

"Huh?"

Zap!

He slipped, shock in his eyes. A lightning bolt was shooting towards him. A freaking lightning bolt! It would most likely would have missed him, a warning shot perhaps. However, thanks to his slip and dumb luck, it was now screaming towards him.

"No!" He yelled and threw his hand out, hoping to lessen the damage.

PING!

Before his eyes, lightning shattered apart with a sound of broken glass. He gazed in shock, gobsmacked. Loud footsteps came towards him. People were rushing to his aid, or to see what the hell happened.

"Hello! Are you okay?!" A face came into his vision, purple eyes filled with worry.

"Uh...yeah. I think?"

"Who are you?" the girl asked.

"Touma. And better question is...who the hell can shoot lightning?"

Bwahahahaha!
