Happy New Year Everyone!

Here is the first update for this year. Chapter 5 is up. Next chapter will be the last one of this arc and will be updated soon hopefully; unless real life doesn't screw me up again.

Now before I begin just want to clear some confusion about the new balance breaker. Naruto's balance breaker doesn't 'Summon', it 'Creates'. Like how Mugetsu16 put it, 'limitless creation'. That's all I will tell because I don't want to dump everything about the Longinus in one go.

Also Mugetsu16, thanks for the advice. I will look it up.

A side-note, I didn't proof-read this chapter. It's late and I am tired. If you guys find any problem let me know. I will fix it.

Well that's it for now. Let's move onto the story.

Guardian Faction III

White Demon

Sex.

Oh how much he loved it~

Well in Naruto's mind, it was nothing abnormal. After all he was a healthy twenty years old and his lover was a Nekoshou. And according to Kurama, he was one damn lucky bastard to have a youkai who can use Bouchujutsu as his first girlfriend. Well it wasn't something that was known widely, but according to the research done by Kurama and Kamina, Youkai who knew Bouchujutsu and Devils who were master at Seduction and Bedroom arts were the best of the best at night activities. Of course the research was done in utmost secrecy and purely for scientific purposes.

Naruto wished he joined their research expedition but unfortunately he had his hands full at that time. 'Fucking Khaos Brigade', Naruto muttered to himself.

"Naruto-koi~"

Naruto looked up to meet Kuroka's eyes. She had a gentle but tired look. "Would you mind letting me go?"

Naruto didn't reply, just grunted and went back to bury his face in her breasts again. He ought to feel guilty for going at it for so long with her but he couldn't help it. He missed her, "Just a little more~"

Kuroka couldn't help but giggle at her lover's antics. She gently stroked his hair. She liked to spoil him. It would always give her a sense of a triumph to see Naruto act like a spoiled child and a horny teenager around her. She wanted to see her lover's every side and she accomplished it. And she fell in love with him all the more. There was nothing about Naruto that she didn't love. Well except for his unparalleled stamina. It wasn't that she disliked it per se; well who was she kidding, she enjoyed it. But in days like these that she wished he would control his urges a bit more. After all, she couldn't meet the leaders of Youkai in her sore and ravished state. And it didn't matter how much she cleaned or healed herself, some of the youkai were really good at smell and sensing.

"Damn perverts." Kuroka muttered to herself.

"But I am you pervert." It was a wonder how Kuroka was able to decipher Naruto's murmur as he spoke with his face still buried in her breasts.

Kuroka couldn't help it. She laughed and hugged his head tighter. She also didn't want to leave the bed but work was work. "Naruto-koi~ If you don't let me go I will be late."

"Yasaka-nee-san?"

"Yes."

Kuroka never regretted killing her former master as her beloved sister's life was on the line, but if there was one thing she ever regretted it was how she did it. Because never in her life had she thought that her action would almost annihilate her whole race. Although Nekoshou clan almost avoided total annihilation, too many innocent lives were lost. And when she witnessed the supposed massacre and the scar that it had left to her clan, it was too much.

If it wasn't for Naruto, the guilt would have made her into a different person. Maybe she would have become a wonderer who would travel the world to find a strong person to have children with, out of necessity not out of love. But Naruto showed her how she could atone for her sins, which in the end would benefit both her and her clan.

Yasaka was a just, kind and strong leader but even she had her limitation, she couldn't just keep spending her resources and time on Nekoshou clan no matter how much she wanted to. But Naruto found a solution for everything.

Every supernatural faction had one or few rulers and a council that governed the respective factions. Council was there to guide the rulers but in some cases the council had more power than the said rulers. Kyoto Youkai faction also had a council but it was a bit different. To have a position in the Youkai council, one must be a strong leader from a noble or prominent clan. There were special cases as well, if a Youkai was really strong and did many good deeds for the faction, he or she would get a seat in the council.

That was what Kuroka aiming for, as per Naruto's advice. If she could get inside the council, her clan would automatically become a prominent one, receiving special treatment which they direly needed. And for one year or so, she was secretly helping Yasaka by doing various kinds of missions for her which the Youkai leader couldn't trust anyone with. But instead of taking money or something for herself, she would ask Yasaka to help her clan. And according to Yasaka, a few more missions and Kuroka could get into the council easily. And like this, Kuroka was redeeming herself, Nekoshou clan was getting proper treatment and Yasaka was able to finish her special missions.

But what Naruto didn't know that by doing this he helped her to realize her dream. Kuroka wanted to be strong enough to stand beside Naruto. But at the same time she wanted to have her own identity. She didn't want everyone to know her as 'Naruto's lover' or as 'The Banished Nekoshou' or just simply a strong individual who was following Naruto.

She would forge her own identity. She would earn her place in the youkai world and would get back the respect and trust of her clan; no matter how long it would take. But first …

Kuroka gave Naruto a good tight hug before turning into a cat.

"I hate that technique of yours." Naruto pouted. He got up and looked for his girlfriend who was already on her way to the bathroom, in her cat form. He wanted to join her but then finally noticed that that his medallion was glowing white.

"Shit!" Naruto swore as he jumped out of the bed and landed in front of the table. He picked up the medallion and sighed in relief. It hadn't been long since the medallion received the signal. But from her? Then he took a good look at himself. His state wasn't exactly appropriate to meet her. He turned around and was met with the bathroom door slamming shut.

"Honey~ Can I use the shower first? It will be a quick one."

"No. Use the one downstairs." Kuroka laughed.

In Heaven

Gabriel was nervous, well she had the reason to be. This was the first time she was calling Naruto after their first meeting. Though she accepted his help, she never met him after that. She was confused at first but in time she finally knew what to do.

After calling Naruto, She was waiting for him in the 'Longinus Section' of the 'Sacred Gear' room. She knew only Seraphim had access to this room but none actually would come here.

She smiled when she saw Naruto, coming toward her in his masked form which was screaming for attention.

"For someone who wants to hide his identity, you sure are wearing the wrong outfit." Gabriel giggled to herself.

Stopping in front of Gabriel, Naruto took off his mask and bowed his head in a teasing but friendly manner, "Nice to see you again, Lady Gabriel."

Gabriel pouted cutely making Naruto to chuckle, "My bad, Gabriel-san but I couldn't….."

"Gabriel."

Naruto looked at her confused.

"Call me Gabriel." She said gently, "We are equal in this, are we not?"

Naruto laughed, "Fair Enough."

"Well then, Gabriel." Naruto asked, "Can I ask why you called me?"

"Can we talk?" Gabriel asked quietly.

"Huh?" Naruto didn't expect that. Gabriel's face flushed as she quickly elaborated, "What I mean that is it ok if we get to know each other before asking for help? I have no doubt about you keeping your promise but..." She paused. Cause she didn't know how to convey her feeling. But it wasn't necessary.

Naruto understood where she was going with this. She wanted to build their trust first before going forward. He couldn't help but admire that. So it was only appropriate for him to return the feeling. He took of his mask and smiled her.

"Then, can I invite you out for lunch?"

.

Few Hours Later

.

Naruto looked at Gabriel in amusement. It was hilarious to see that one of the Four Great Seraph, the strongest woman in heaven, was fidgeting and looking around nervously like a shy human girl. She would twitch when a guy would look at her inappropriately and would move closer to Naruto, but in the next moment she would look at a shop with big sparkly eyes but would refrain from voicing her opinion to go there. It was as if looking at a shy child who just came to a park for the first time.

Naruto mentally patted himself on the back for his persuasion skill. He convinced Gabriel that they wouldn't be able to get to know each other in that tiny room. And when he heard that the mighty Seraph never went to the human world, outside of her work and out of necessity, he almost dragged her out.

They were in Norway. Naruto had lots of portal orbs connected to various countries around the world, most of them were for work purposes but some were just for fun, thanks to his mother of course. He wanted Gabriel to have fun but the problem was even with a simple white sundress Gabriel was standing out from the crowd. Well he couldn't blame any of them. Gabriel's soft glowing blonde hair, her striking midnight blue eyes and her out of the world figure would even make a homosexual man to look at her way.

Naruto was wearing his normal attire, black pant and a black t-shirt with white jacket. He took off his jacket and put it over Gabriel, who titled her head in confusion. "That should hide her voluptuous figure. And now," Naruto then looked around for a particular shop and when he found it, he smiled and went there with his date. He bought a sunhat and put it on Gabriel, who giggled cutely, "There, now no one can see her face."

The attention didn't lessen, it was merely shifted. Naruto with his tight t-shirt and his half revealing tattoo in his left bicep was attracting attention from females left and right. But it didn't bother Naruto much as he was fully focused on Gabriel.

Gabriel wondered, when was the last time she had this much fun? She always saw and admired the world from above the clouds but standing on the ground and looking at everything at hands distance was a completely new experience. It was as if she could truly appreciate the beauties of the nature and the virtues of humanity. From morning till afternoon, Gabriel went to different attraction places with Naruto. They covered most of the tourist cities in Norway; Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim and Tromsø. It was possible to see all the places because of Gabriel's teleportation ability.

And at lunch, they took their time. During that period they talked about themselves, well mostly Naruto telling Gabriel about the stories of his achievements and hardships. He also told Gabriel that his dream was to reach the 'Top ten strongest being in the world' as the first human. It was so he could fulfill a promise. Gabriel didn't talk much as she was entranced by Naruto's stories, stories about travelling the world, meeting unique beings and making new friends. And the way she listened was like a little girl hearing stories of her favorite hero. She would gasp when Naruto would tell about a tense moment, she would giggle when Naruto would describe a funny situation and she would pout when Naruto would intentionally stop talking in the middle of an exciting part.

Both of them had a wonderful time but it didn't end there.

After lunch, they explored their surrounding in Supernatural way to have fun, which was to become invisible from human eyes. It was Naruto's idea and Gabriel had a blast. To observe everything by being there and at the same time by not being there, it gave a mischievous feeling. And at evening Gabriel played with the children at a park, the parents didn't mind as if somehow they knew that their children were in safe hands. After that they went to see the sunset.

Sunset was supposed to be something normal in heaven but watching it from the mountains in Geiranger Fjord, it was incredibly beautiful. For the whole time during the Sunset, Gabriel just stood at the cliff and watched it without blinking and moving.

Naruto was also speechless but by something else. With the sunset in front of her, Gabriel's hair was, no, it was as if her whole body was radiating a soft golden light. It was as if her body was humming in tune with the sunset. In Naruto's eyes who was behind her, the seraph became a part of the nature, a painting drawn by a celestial being.

He was amazed by this scene but the next one completely blew him away.

It was nighttime and they were in a secluded place. The mountains from far, the dancing aurora in the sky and the soft humming from the nature and in the middle of all these a girl with breathtaking beauty was giggling and dancing. The scene was so beautiful and so serene, it made Naruto to think if he was dreaming or not. He couldn't blink nor could he breathe, it was as if he was scared that the slightest movement would wake him from this surreal scene.

But suddenly Gabriel stopped in the middle and blushed, "Sorry, I got carried away."

Naruto blinked. And then he laughed to himself, "And here I thought that I have seen every beautiful thing that the world has to offer."

"Actually I quite enjoyed it." Naruto's reply made Gabriel to blush more.

She turned around, "I have never seen this world like this. Every time I descended from heaven, it was to pass a message from up there," She looked up as she sighed, "The places that I could go was monitored, the people I could see was chosen beforehand, the things I could do was limited. I didn't have the luxury to …."

"To experience how it is like to be normal."

Gabriel sharply turned around, her eyes were wide. Naruto chuckled seeing that, "Why do you think I hide my real identity. Yes, the first reason would be to protect my families but trust me, they can protect themselves just fine without me. Second reason would be this." Naruto motioned around him, "To enjoy my life the way I want, without any supernatural incidents howling at my ass."

Gabriel started to giggle which soon turned into laughter, Naruto joined soon. When their laughter died down, Gabriel looked to the sky again,

"Time to leave, is it?" Naruto asked.

"You know," Gabriel still wasn't looking at Naruto but Naruto could still see her blushing face, "I would like our future meetings to be like this. Outside and in different beautiful countries."

"Like the date we had today." Naruto grinned.

Gabriel didn't say anything but her cheeks flushed more, answering Naruto's question.

Naruto bowed politely, "If that is what Lady Gabriel wishes, this humble mortal would try his best to comply."

And he was surprised once again. The moment he raised his head, Gabriel was right in front of him but before he could do or say anything, she softly pecked him in the cheeks.

Then she turned around and disappeared quickly.

Naruto just stood there, eyes wide and mouth open. He didn't know how much time passed before he could properly compose himself. But when he did, he was sure of one thing,

He was infatuated with the Seraph. Just like how he was infatuated with Kuroka. And that means …

"I need help."

Few Days Later

Somewhere unknown

A small child was sitting on top of a rock in the middle of nowhere and was staring at the vast starry sky. But not everything was what it seemed to be.

Ophis was not looking at the lustrous night but she was looking at what was beyond it.

The Dimensional Gap.

Many would ask why she was obsessed with returning to the Dimensional Gap, to an endless void.

The answer was simple.

It was her home. She was born from the "nothingness" of the Dimensional Gap. She grew up alongside 'Silence' and 'Void'. And from many eons she watched the worlds connected to the Dimensional Gap. She liked it up there but the worlds below fascinated her, and so at one point she wanted more. So she left the gap to know the unknown, to see the unseen. But when she attempted to return, she found that the Great Red had taken up residence there.

How that dragon came there or why, she did not know. But she challenged the dragon and lost, eventually making the Great Red taking both her place as the strongest being as well as her home.

If anyone would have asked whether she regretted coming down or not; she would have replied 'yes' in a heartbeat. But that was before. Because now it was different. After all because of that she was able to meet,

"Here you are mom."

She smiled softly, but it was gone just as fast as it came.

Naruto came and sat down beside her, "Damn, had a long day." He looked tiredly at Ophis who was still looking up, "You know, you could help me manage that good for nothing 'Khaos Brigade' sometimes. It is your organization after all. Do you know how much of a pain in the ass it is to make those power-hungry lunatics to listen to me?"

"Well that is your job, as the caretaker and as my son." Ophis replied, her lips twitching upwards.

Naruto just looked blankly at her, "You only call me son so that I back off from any arguments."

Ophis looked at Naruto and raised an eyebrow. The stare-down between then went on for few seconds, but, "Fine, fine. I will take care of it." Naruto backed off grumpily, as usual.

Ophis gave a knowing smile before she turned to look at the sky again. She wasn't surprised when Naruto lied down on the ground. "You are not leaving?"

"Do you want me to?"

"This silent place is not something you will enjoy."

"Maybe, but this place is really relaxing to take a small break. And trust me, I need one."

Ophis closed her eyes and smiled. She wanted to enjoy the moment but a recent memory disrupted her musings.

"Naruto, what did you do to Tiamat?"

Naruto didn't expect that. He paused and thought hard before giving the answer. But nothing came to his mind, "Just what you asked me to? Defeat her in a contest of power? Why? What happened?"

Ophis knew her son had a tendency to mess things up without knowing it himself. She recalled the events from the previous day.

.

Flashback

.

The dragon kings had the right to meet with Ophis, the dragon god. Well to be more precise, they had the right to call her and it was up to her decision whether they could meet her or not. Tiamat used this 'Authority' to grant an audience with Ophis. And since the topic was about Tiamat's fight with Naruto, Ophis decided to let meet her. She sent a magic familiar who fetched Tiamat and brought her to 'Khaos Brigade HQ'.

"So you want to have a rematch with him?" Ophis asked, not surprised. She could see that Tiamat was the type of dragon that wouldn't accept any kind of defeat.

"Yes." Tiamat kept her requests and answer short. She could tell that Ophis wasn't the type to fuss over things like pride and appearance. But it seemed she was the type that tended to avoid troublesome issues.

"Let me honest with you," Ophis sighed, "You can't defeat him with the way you are." Tiamat looked surprised. Her eyes flashed her anger but just for a moment. Before she could retort Ophis continued, "He became a lot stronger after the battle. And from the way I see it you haven't improve much."

If it was anyone else, Tiamat would have answered with her powers. But the person in front of her just had to think and she would be done for. "Then can I join your organization?"

Ophis liked that idea. But unfortunately Naruto drilled into her that the Khaos Brigade didn't anymore members as it was now. She disagreed but then he pointed out the fatal flaw. Till now, not a single faction inside the Khaos Brigade did anything related to Ophis's purpose; rather they were clashing with each other making the organization more unstable. Naruto also showed some of the members' wrongdoings which could be interpreted as hindrance to her plan.

"How about I give you few tasks?" Ophis sought out the middle path, "If you can accomplish all of them and I am satisfied with the result and your way of doing things, then I will let you join the organization."

Tiamat smiled.

"As you wish."

.

Flashback Ends

.

When Ophis was done, Naruto's jaw was stretched to the max. It was a simple bout. He made sure not to disrespect her or any of the dragon laws. But it seemed instead of disrespecting her, he earned her respect which wasn't something good in Tiamat's case. He snapped his jaw shut gave Ophis a blank stare.

"This is not my fault." Ophis looked away from that accusing stare.

"Well I wasn't the one picked her, sensei. And why the hell you gave her tasks? You could've just kicked her out." Naruto rubbed his forehead. He just knew that if it would become too troublesome Ophis would give up and throw Naruto into the mess to clean it up.

The silence continued for some time before Ophis finally spoke up, "I am sure she won't be able to do the tasks properly."

But her tone was a bit off and Naruto caught on it, "Something's wrong?"

"It's just," Ophis paused, trying to say it correctly, "She seems weird."

"Weird? Weird how?!" Now Naruto started panicking. Cause Ophis reserved that word for the most troublesome and lunatic people, by her standard. And he was one of those people.

"I am not sure. But you don't have to panic that much."

Ophis's assurance didn't help Naruto, not at all.

Few Months Later

Everything was blurred out as Naruto was flying as fast as he could. He was praying, hoping with all his might that he could reach there in time.

He got a message from Arthur, who was acting as a spy for him, that the Hero faction was getting defensive and the reason was the Old Satan faction. According to what Arthur was able to dig up, the Old Satan faction was after someone, a half-human with an unknown Longinus. Although they knew nothing about the said person, but the fact that he or she wielded Longinus was enough for them to try and snatch the prize. Small arguments and skirmishes occurred because of that. But in the end Hero faction backed off seeing that the Old Satan faction outnumbered and overpowered them. Arthur told him the locations where he thought the Longinus wielder might be hiding. He was worried that the Old Satan Faction was going to take the fight into human settlements, even though the Hero faction backed off.

And this was what Naruto was worried about. What happened with Nekoshou back then was cruel act but if it was Old Satan faction then that would be a normal occurrence. And if they wanted someone or something that bad, he was afraid of what they would do to get it.

Naruto felt his heart stopping when he saw smoke coming in the direction he was going. With a small burst he was there in a few seconds. It was a village. But according to the info he got the village housed some stray magicians. His theory was that one of those magicians had the Longinus that the devils were after. And from the looks of it,

He was late.

The village was empty. Not a single soul was in sight. The smoke that he saw was from burnt houses. His heart started to beat faster, his hands started to sweat and along with these his powers started to rise alarmingly. This scene, he would never forget. How could he? It was same, no, almost the same. The only difference was,

There was no survivor and there would not be any miracle.

And the worst part? He was partly at fault for this heinous act.

Naruto jumped to the side. Even if he wasn't focusing on the surrounding, his sharp and honed senses didn't fail him. A giant hand made of earth came out from where he was and made a grabbing motion. His irritation turned to surprise and then turned to uneasiness as he saw the person responsible for the attack.

The man was clean-shaved with sharp dark eyes. His dark hair was worn casually unkempt, falling over his eyes. He had the face that would make ladies to give him a second look. But all of those traits failed to catch Naruto's eyes. What caught his attention was the classy long black overcoat that he wore on top his exorcist's cloths which was dark silver unlike the usual pure white. And there was only exorcist who wore such clothing. Roy Mustang, also known as 'Black Exorcist', the strongest exorcist alive and the possessor of the second-strongest Longinus, Zenith Tempest.

How did he know? Simple. After meeting Cao Cao, he tried his hardest to find out other Longinus users, specially the Zenith Tempest possessor as strength wise it was right behind 'True Longinus'. And it wasn't hard when your girlfriend was one of the stealthiest Youkai alive. But here was another fact. Although this was the first time Naruto met him face to face, he can be sure of one thing. He wasn't someone that Naruto could take lightly. One wrong move and he would be done for.

"'White Demon', I presume?" Roy asked, relaxed. As if! Only a fool would fall for this laid-back stance. "Do you mind if I ask you a question?" He didn't wait for Naruto's confirmation, "Do you happen to know anything about devils from 'Khaos Brigade'?"

"No." Naruto answer but not immediately. There was a pause and his tone suggested hesitation. Those facts were the real answer to someone like Roy.

He snapped his fingers and immediately chains made of earth and water shot out from the ground and headed toward Naruto, who jumped back to create more distance. But Roy couldn't follow up as he was surprised by Naruto's counterattack.

"Light release: Shield of the Righteous."

Nine holy shields appeared and blocked his elemental chains. His hesitation was more than enough for Naruto.

"Light release: White World."

And just like the name suggested everything turned white. Roy closed his eyes but not before erecting elemental barriers around him. But Naruto's next course of action was different than he expected.

The 'White Demon' ran.

Roy could have followed him, no, he still could catch up to the runaway demon. But Roy was anything but stupid. He knew something was wrong when he was chasing the devils. The obvious trails left behind by the devils, the fake clues about 'White Demon' being their leader were all pointing toward one apparent direction. This was all a setup. And it was confirmed when he first saw 'White Demon'. The rage, the sadness; those feelings he felt from him were all real.

But the real surprise came from 'White Demon' using 'Holy Light'. That was an element even he couldn't use; only higher ranking angels were capable of using it with such precision and power. And he could see that his opponent was quite experience with his powers. He wasn't sure if he could take him down without using his 'Balance Breaker'. But his instincts were telling him that he was more than what he appeared to be. And his instincts were never wrong.

Roy looked around and let out a tired sigh. His anger didn't disappear but he was sure of one thing. There was something going on between 'Khaos Brigade' and 'White Demon'. And if his hunch was right, which were quite often, then those that were responsible for these deaths would be departing from the living world very soon.

Khaos Brigade, Headquarter

The main door slammed open. All the devils inside the room stood up and took a fighting tense. But their stance faltered when they saw Naruto. His white trench was glowing and his hair was waving as if it was on fire. Never before they had seen him like this. Even a toddler could tell that he was furious and he was out for blood. The mid to low ranked devil didn't know what was the reason except for the higher ones. They knew exactly why Naruto was angry.

"Who attacked the village?"

The question was asked in a calm manner. His voice wasn't loud or sounded angry. Most of the devils didn't know what he was talking about. Their leaders looked at each other. They knew that their trap failed. But they wanted to see how far they could take this. So they decided to poke him. Something they shouldn't have done.

One of the leaders stepped front, "We did, anything wrong with that."

It was Zane Bael, first son of Zekram Bael. When Zekram retired, he first passed the title to Zane but when the civil war started between the devils, Zekram took back the mantle when he learned that Zane wanted to side with the old Satan, and he disowned him. So at the end of the war, Zane fled with the old Satan faction.

The descendants of the original Satan sat back and watched. Katerea Leviathan, Creuserey Asmodeus and Shalba Beelzebub watched the duo intensely. Their reason to destroy the village was to lure Naruto into meeting 'Black Exorcist'. They hoped their biggest obstacle would have been removed permanently. Since their trap failed, they wanted to provoke him. They wanted to see his power and strength at its peak, and if any opportunity would rise, they would finish him off.

"We did what we had to do, if Ophis has problems with it then we will answer to her instead of his lapdog." Zane barked.

Naruto didn't answer.

"You deaf, little man? I am saying go back to your master and tell her to come and meet us face to face or is she too busy staring at space?" Zane taunted.

Again no reply.

"Fucking bastard." Zane extended his hand with open palm and the place where Naruto was standing exploded.

Everyone watched with rapt attention to the explosion place to see what happened to Naruto. But then the sound of loud coughing made them to look at Zane and only to see Naruto was at his place where the ultimate class devil was flying backwards.

Zane landed harshly on the ground and he could feel that few of his ribs where fractured badly. When he tried to get up, he was kneed viciously on the face and the moment his head was up it was elbowed to the side. Seeing that he wasn't getting any chance to attack, Zane released bursts of pure and raw energy. But Naruto didn't budge, not one bit. He stood there and took the full blunt of the energy burst. He tilted his head mockingly and from his place casually lifted one leg, and kicked Zane in his chest.

He flew once again. And this time, the sounds of his ribs cracking was heard by every devil.

But this time he was given time to pick himself up. Zane saw blood when he understood that Naruto was toying with him. His face became more vicious as he shouted, "Take this!"

In his palm the magic circle of Bael family appeared and on top of it Ophis's blessing circle came as well. His power increased exponentially. Seeing that all the leaders of the devils slowly started to gather their own power to jump into the fight, but Naruto's next move stopped them on their track.

Naruto extended his palm and immediately Zane shook visibly as he screamed. From his body, a transparent green small snake came out and entered Naruto's body through his extended open palm.

"Did he just….."

"Impossible!"

"No way!"

This made all the leaders to halt their movement and all the other devils to shake in fear. The devil leaders and few special and strong devils were given Ophis's blessing to become more powerful and everyone knew that Ophis would not take back the powers. She just didn't care. But the fact that the second in command of Khaos Brigade who was smart and ruthless could take away the blessing forcefully changed everything.

Zane looked at Naruto horrified and then a second later he screamed in anger and in fear as he put his arms up to gather huge amount of magical powers. But that too was stopped when two swords made of pure light pierced his elbows. He screamed again, but in agony this time. At least he wanted to … but Naruto didn't let him. One strong punch on his stomach and Zane was lifted from the ground but Naruto gave a downside punch to smash him on the ground.

Naruto looked at the devil leaders and then back at Zane who was moaning and writhing in pain under his feet. But when Zane looked at Naruto, to him everything stopped. All he saw was a huge figure standing over him with his flaming white hair but it was the eyes, or the lack of them that scared him. Because of his mask he couldn't see Naruto's eyes. All he saw was … nothing, a void. An emotionless being that wouldn't stop until he would get what he wanted. And Zane knew what he wanted,

His death.

Shakily he put out his arms in a surrendering motion. But it was all for naught. Naruto raised his arm and not a second later it was brought down.

With each punch, his powers grew.

With each punch, his emotions became bare to his surroundings.

With each punch, his Longinus threatened to show itself.

The amount of holy power Naruto was releasing was terrifying but the most dreadful fact was his palpable rage. Only a pure Seraph can release so much holy power but if he or she was bearing an ounce of the wrath that Naruto was demonstrating,

He or she would have fallen, right then and there.

It just wasn't possible,

To release so much of pure holy power like a Seraph,

All the while radiating overwhelming wrath like a Maou.

Creuserey Asmodeus moved an inch, and immediately Naruto turned to him. His masked face with his bloodied hand scared the mighty Creuserey. It was an instance but he saw his life flashing before his eyes.

Every devil took one look at Zane and immediately looked away. The once beautiful and handsome face of the Bael was mutilated so much, that it made everyone to go weak on their knees.

Naruto looked at Zane one more time, he could clearly see that the devil was crying, begging through his gesture to show mercy.

Then Naruto remembered the empty village, the cries and agonies of the innocent people left behind. The people he couldn't save, the people that didn't deserve such fate. Did these devils showed mercy?

Naruto raised his leg and immediately all the devils' eyes widened, "He wouldn't."

But he did.

Naruto viciously bought down his feet on Zane's face.

His head exploded and the remains of it scattered around the floor. Some devils puked, some fainted and the rest went down on their knees, shaking like a scared child.

Zane's body disintegrated along with his remains. But the blood remained. Naruto looked at the devils leaders. They were standing firmly on their ground but he could smell their fear, no, everyone could.

And not a single soul would blame them.

Naruto's white coat and mask was covered with blood. He looked like a butcher radiating holy power. The Old Satan leaders knew about his title but they didn't believe it. They thought it was a fluke, but now they knew how wrong they were. He really was,

'White Demon'

But what Naruto did next made even the leaders to take few steps back involuntarily. Naruto wipe some blood from his coat with his index finger and then drew a smiley mouth-line on his mask. And then he wagged the same finger in front of the devil leaders.

The message was clear.

"Don't do it again."

And with that he left, slowly.

Somewhere hidden

.

Rizevim Livan Lucifer watched the one-sided fight with fascination. He respected true power, brutality … more so. So he couldn't help but admire the way Naruto had sent the message. He looked to his side to see Euclid standing still. But he didn't miss the fingers of the young devil shaking. He chuckled. He couldn't blame the boy. Because to devils', their biggest fear was cruelty, done toward them.

To him, devils were beings that had to be evil, wicked, brutal and vicious to others. But there was one more thing, devils were hypocrite. They had no problem being cruel to others, but they didn't have the guts to be on the receiving side of the cruelty.

Rizevim was the one who made the trap. There was a mishap on his main plan, but he used her to lure the two strongest obstacles and hoped that one of them would be taken care of. His money was on 'Black Exorcist'. But it seemed he underestimated 'White Demon'. He saw everything, from their encounter to this match, through his familiar. And it made him realized one thing. If he wanted his plan to succeed, he needed to remove 'White Demon', at all costs. Because it turned out that the demon was more dangerous than the exorcist and the dragon.

From the moment he entered till his retreat, Naruto only asked one question. And after that not a single word was spoken. But his actions and his demonstration of his power and authority was more than enough. Rizevim knew that now no matter what, none of the other devil leaders would try to go against him or his words unless they would have something solid against him. Even then, they would think twice first before taking any actions.

Naruto's message got through all of them, loud and clear.

"I think 'White demon' truly fits him, wouldn't you say Euclid?" Rizevim mused.

Shaking away his fear, Euclid responded, "But Lucifer-sama, if he can take away the blessings and possesses such strength, wouldn't it hinder our plan?"

"It will, if we don't tread carefully." Then he suddenly smirked, "Who was the leader of the hero faction again?"

"You mean Cao Cao, he is dangerous my Lord. He wields 'True Longinus'." Euclid replied.

"Perfect, I have a feeling that this Cao Cao and his gang can be useful against our problematic demon, don't you think so?" Rizevim's relaxed in his chair.

"I agree. But I have a feeling he is the type that will backstab us the moment we show any weakness." Euclid gave his thought and was surprised when he met with laughter.

"Euclid my boy, you have got lot to learn." The smirk on the old devil's face grew, "We know he is going to backstab us if we ask him for help and I am pretty sure he will figure out that we will too, the question is who will get the first strike?"

"But no matter what, we must get our desired outcome." Rizevim looked at Naruto's retreating back with vicious glare through the screen,

"Our troublesome demon has to go down no matter what."

With Naruto

The light,

He couldn't feel its warmth.

It was as if he was inside a white void, in a punishment room. He didn't want to be here. This place was a reminder … of everything that he wanted to forget.

He wanted to forget those eyes.

The eyes of the innocent that he couldn't save. And of his loved ones that he couldn't protect. But the most terrifying of them all were the ones he killed. Justice and Vengeance were like two sides of the same coin. He did kill the ones that were guilty, responsible for the death of the innocence. He told that to him hundred and thousands of times. It was for Justice. It was what they deserved. But he knew better. Their eyes, before taking their last breath, told him the truth. He wasn't a hero or a savior. He was a monster, just like them.

He wanted to forget this feeling.

Rage; pure, destructive and uncontrollable rage. It would eat him away from inside. It would scream at his ear to wipe out the devils, the corrupted ones. They didn't belong on this plane. They didn't have any rights of what they were doing. They ought to be …

He felt like as if the void was getting smaller, trying to engulf him.

And then it was all gone.

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and in his dazed state he saw Ophis, but it was not her regular form.

She was older. But it wasn't her refined cloths or her mature look that soothed Naruto. It was her aura. It wasn't of a dragon or a god, it was of a mother.

"Mom?" Naruto spoke out in a tired voice, he tried to get up from his bed Ophis didn't let him. With a gentle smile, she cradled Naruto's head on her lap. She started to brush his spiky hair and started humming.

There were so many things Naruto wanted to say, but couldn't. He was powerless against her, as he always was. He drifted to sleep in a few seconds. But this time he had a small smile on his face. And his smile widened when Ophis pecked his forehead lightly.

"It seems like I need to have a talk with them."

Done

So here is another major change. The wielder of 'Zenith Tempest' is not Itachi Uchiha but Roy Mustang. I will reveal more about him as the story progresses. I will try to give more screen time than I did with Itachi. Also a reminded, Zenith tempest here allows one to control five basic element rather than six stated in the original series. I have reasons for it, just wait and see.

Well I guess that's it for now and hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as well. All feedbacks are greatly appreciated so please leave a review.

Till next time.
