I AM ALIVE! HOWDY XD!

It's almost a year since I updated this fic and thanks to anyone who waiting for this and keep believing me with your reviews and PMs.

Enough with chit-chat, without further ado...

Chapter 11: More Ally/Goddess with a Thunder Blade

"...That went better than I expected".

Through Azzy's eyes, Naruto, Mana and Sera watched the whole things happened with anticipation.

Once they seen the whole thing, Sera gave Azzy a pat on back.

"Good work by putting that creepy guy in his place". The Phoenix stated with morbid smile which responded Azzy's own dark grin.

As much as she prefer not to involved with meddlesome things, it was already within her nature to enjoy her prey' suffering, not to mention this time it was a fool who dare to tried harm her master.

"...isn't that a bit too much? Putting that curse to him" Mana whispered.

What Azzy done back there was not just a simple intimidation, maybe it is to all devils but not to Diodora Astaroth.

Terror of Three-headed Tyrant was a spell that directly attack target' subconscious, if one has low mental defense to begin with their soul would get crushed immediately.

If used with full power, it will shatter every target's emotions, all but one.

Fear.

Once ruled by fear, even the bravest warrior would frozen when faced with their greatest fear. It was like a phobia but much, much on higher level.

Full power of Terror of Three-Headed Tyrant also contain a side effect, a nasty one at that.

Primal curse of fear.

People have more than 100 billion nerve cells inside their brain which process every events you experienced everyday, brain connected to every single senses including the primary five senses.

Now imagine if all those senses only reflected the thing you fear the most.

Every time you open your eyes, it shows you it's figure.

Every sound that entered your ears, it made you hears it's voice.

Every things that touched your skin, it felt like you in it's embrace.

Every saliva you gulped down, it felt you just swallow it's blood.

Every breath you inhale, you smell it's odor.

And you could not thinking about anything except it. Even in your sleep you can't escape the nightmare.

Only one way to escape, and that is...Death!

If you hit by that you already dead, you just not realize it yet.

After the meeting dispersed, Sirzect along with Grayfia and Serafall visited a certain hospital in Sitri's territory where Diodora Astaroth placed and diagnosed have a mental collapse.

While Falbium didn't had such luxury as he needs to deal with a paperworks, dozen of paperworks.

"So, how bad is his condition?" Sirzecth asked his fellow Maou and the uncle of Diodora, Ajuka Beelzebub.

"Beyond bad". He sighed, he already informed Diodora's parents about their son and they were on their way here.

"He never stop thrashing and seeing everything with terrified eyes, even his own shadow enough to make him insane with fear. It's only after he sedated twice then they could began treat him, and you want to know what they find?". Ajuka asked grimly.

"What did they find?" Sirzecth asked curiously.

"…Nothing."

"…what?"

"None! They didn't find any problem with him, be it physical and mentality." Devils has advanced medical equipments compared to other races, Sitri's especially.

They could not only diagnosed physical problem but also mentality, there was no need for physician because they already have a tool to determine if a person insane or not.

And that said tool determined Diodora have 100% healthy, no matter how many times it repeated the result were same despite even a blind person could tell that Diodora already at border of insanity just by hearing his soul shattering scream.

Naruto stood alone in middle of night within Kuou lush forest with his eyes closed.

He stood firmly yet not too stiff to feel the nature with his body when his mind trying to reach their essence.

His mind was still able calm just like still water considering the recent event with Azi Dahaka and the devils, it was commendable feat.

You would think that his mind would in the state of chaos when witnessed Azzy's merciless punishment toward Astaroth heir just like any normal person.

But he wasn't normal, never was and never will be.

Not a minute since he was born a masked man used him as a hostage to distract his father then abduct his mother while his father busy saving him.

Then the same masked man released the entity that sealed within his mother to raze his village and that same entity killed both his parents. But not before his father sealed it back inside a baby, him.

His life was filled with abnormal things one after another from the moment he was born to the moment of his death.

Although even his death can't stop another abnormal event that followed him.

Reincarnated as a Ruler of Celetial Realm then died the second time and he was STILL not allowed experience normality.

Uzumaki Naruto already used being different, in a good way and bad way. Rather than whining he instead accept it with open arms.

If he was a normal person he won't experienced the sense of fulfillment during his death, he won't able to doing adventure with his friends, he won't be reincarnated and meet his beloved Valkyries.

Despite there were also painful memories, Naruto still and always glad he was born this way.

Back to the topic, while Azzy's action might seems not right but it's not wrong either.

This is a world where supernatural exist and real, gods walking on earth, heroes scattered around, myths and legends not just fairytale, and overpowered deities that could eradicate countries watching upon the world.

Naruto's faction, while powerful their numbers still too small to take on those overpowered bunch if they decided to be hostile forces.

Naruto never wanter wars, he already had enough of them in his two lifetimes so he prefer he won't experience it again in his third life.

Although he prefer they maintain good relationship with other faction doesn't mean that he will accept being their doormat.

His faction might be friendly but he needs to make other factions know that should they tried to harm his faction there will be sufficient consequence. We are equal to you not beneath you.

So Azzy's action back then should be enough to display our threat level, now it was their decision if that threat would be directed at them or not.

"Milord, are you ready?" Naruto heard Mana's voice which he answered by confident nod.

Currently all members of Naruto's faction gathered in same forest where Naruto meditated, all of them have serious expression except a certain witch who barely keep herself awake courtesy of Sera who keep bonking her head she about to doze off.

It was the time to call another valkyrie because Naruto's power grow at rapid pace, faster than expected. Without wasting time they prepared another ritual in the place where the highest amount of leylines energy which is the same forest where Naruto always gathered Nature energy.

According to Mana it was very likely that would about Valkyrie might connected or maybe part of nature itself.

After casting a ward to prevent prying eyes, The Valkyries stood behind their lord while he concentrating his energy toward the large magical blue crest in front of him.

The Crest on the ground then shining as if bathing with golden light of moon that witness everything.

'Please come to us, we needs your strength, my Valkyrie'

Then all of sudden the crest released a blinding azure light accompanied by roaring bolt of lightnings that pierce the sky, obliterate the ward along with all clouds in it's presence.

"So it's her" Mana whispered while Sera facepalmed.

"Out of everyone, why it has to be that arrogant loli".

"...Noisy one appears". Azzy mentally said goodbye to her peaceful sleep.

The Valkyries created another ward to replace the broken one instantly.

But even for just an instant that kind of power won't be unnoticed by other faction.

One faction in particular.

Takama-ga-hara or Plains of High Heaven is where most of Shinto deities lived, including three major deities.

Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, The Moon God of Shinto Mythology. He was characterised by his pale skin, shaggy white hair, attractive facial features. He dressed in clothing consisting of a white, high-collared kimono with a black obi, over which he wears a pale green sash tied at the right shoulder. On the back of his kimono is the emblem of a yellow crest depicting a sun enclosed in a crescent moon. Beneath his robes he wears black fingerless gloves, long black pants, and black sandals.

Susanoo-no-Mikoto, The Sea and Storm God of Shinto Mythology. He was resembles a young man with long and spiky black hair and gold eyes. He was dressed in what appears to be 19th Century Chinese armor. It consists of five parts-the white undergarment, the gold pauldrons, the gold and red vest, gold arm bracers, and gold and white pants. He is also carrying around a long sword with a gold and silver handle.

Amaterasu-omikami, The Sun Goddess of Shinto Mythology and the strongest among three siblings. She had a pair of amber eyes and Golden-Crimson hair that flow freely almost to her ankle, she wears a Crimson Kimono that has detached sleeves.

It was an ordinary tranquil day to the gods before a sudden burst of powerful shockwave interrupt it, it was only last for an instant yet it enough to shook THE Takama-ga-hara.

Takama-ga-hara resided in another realm that disconnected from human realm, you could combine two major deities power to attack it from outside and it would only have 10% chance of causing small tremor. And that event just now could not be called small tremor.

"Alright, fess up brother! when did you became that powerful?" Asked The God of Moon the first thing he saw his brother Susanoo in conference hall.

Other gods/goddesses also paying attention toward Japanese Storm God including Amaterasu who knew that her brother was powerful but not that powerful. She can't help but worry if Susanoo became more powerful than her then he would usurp her so he could declare war to other factions.

It was no secret that Susanoo is a battle maniac who created The Five Branch Alliance just for finding worthy opponents even by destroying the world in the process or if they have to unleash second great war between three faction.

The only reason he didn't was because Amaterasu always keep her leash on him, so her worries is justified. Small part of her hoping that energy burst was not Susanoo's however unlikely it seems.

That shockwave was contains pure humongous amount lightning element and he is the strongest Thunder God in Japan, there were also chance that it was a foreign deity but the energy source definitely from japan and it was impossible for foreign deity with that kind of strength to infiltrate their homeland while undetected by them.

Amaterasu watching carefully at her brother, expecting a smug expression but she couldn't be more wrong. Susanoo's expression is nowhere what she thought, He has irritation mixed with bloodthirsty excitement instead.

"It wasn't me" He muttered loud enough for all to hears. "I'm the one most wanted to know who is this person and how come I don't meet this worthy opponent yet".

With that statement, he unleashed chaos in Shinto.

"I heard that you have amnesia but I won't accept that excuse!"

From within the spark a voice can be heard.

"You could forget about anything or anyone but me, that alone is unforgivable."

The first thing that materialized is a blade, a sheathless katana that made from accumulated sparks of lightning into one.

"Now I ask you, Naruto..."

Then from that same sparks, first a hand that gripped the katana's handle materialized along with intense buzzing sound of electricity. Then a figure rapidly formed from pure blue thunder while releasing blitz of lightnings from right side to right side.

"...Do you remember my glorious name?"

After the lightning starting to died down, a figure emerged from it's ethereal state.

She is a has long fluttering green hair that tied with twin red ribbons with silver bells at either side of her head, a goddess-like being that dressed in loose pinkish upper part kimono that show her generous cleavage despite her small frame and red lower part, white sleeves with red stripes decoration, purple obi and blue skirt. Beneath her robe she wore white stockings and traditional japanese sandals. She also wore a choker tied with diamond shaped jewel accessory.

"I remember you..." Memories flooding inside Naruto's brain about certain prideful and slightly immature goddess "Takemikazuchi."
