******************************
Let's get started
*********************************
On the uninhabited coasts of Peru, several Magic Circles began to form, from which several people emerged. These people were Demons of the Demonic Faction; more specifically the current Four Maou, the Leaders of the Demonic Clans, politically influential Demons and seven young Demons with their respective Nobilities.
-"We arrived"-
The Maou Sirzechs spoke as he looked around.
-"Onii-sama, what are we doing here?"-
Rias asked her brother curiously.
-"Naruto said that he would look for us here"-
Ajuka nodded. -"It shouldn't take long"-
-"Yes, it won't take long"- Naruto spoke, surprising and frightening those around him by his sudden appearance, causing him to laugh. -"You arrived just in time. It's time to go to Yōsogakure No Sato"-
-"And how do we get there, Naru-kun?"- Serafall asked him curiously. -"By Teleportation Circles?"-
-"No, you can't get there by Teleportation Circles because of their barriers. So we'll go on that"- Naruto then pointed with a smile to a gigantic luxury ship not far from the coast. -"Do you like it? I bought it a week ago"-
The Devils looked at the gigantic luxury ship in surprise. They were sure it was the largest luxury ship they had ever seen.
-"Let's go! There's no time to lose!"-
Naruto told them, then quickly walked on the water towards the ship.
The Devils didn't waste time and took out their wings to fly towards the ship. Except for a brown Reincarnated Devil, who needed help to get to the ship, since he didn't know how to take out his Devil wings.
-"The trip will take at least thirty minutes"- Naruto said with a smile, after everyone arrived at the ship. -"So relax, settle in, and enjoy the ride"-
The Devils quickly relaxed or began to explore the large ship.
...
.....
....
....
After about thirty minutes of sailing, the ship was currently surrounded by a thick fog.
-"This fog is very strange"-
Ajuka said as he looked at the fog around him in confusion and a bit of surprise. Even for the Devils, who had enhanced senses, it was difficult to see through the fog.
Naruto smiled. -"That means we're already arriving"-
Then something gigantic passed by the ship, which quickly submerged again.
-"What was that?"-
Sirzechs asked in surprise. He was sure he had seen something huge swimming next to the ship.
But before Naruto could answer, the being reappeared, showing its gigantic back and long tail with dorsal plates shaped like flames or maple leaves.
-"There's something under the water!"-
A boy shouted in terror. The boy has average height with short, spiky brown hair, with two short locks of hair behind his head and light brown eyes. This person is Issei Hyoudou, a Reincarnated Devil and the [Pawn] of Rias Gremory's Peerage.
-"Calm down"- Naruto told him in an attempt to calm everyone down. -"It won't hurt you"-
But just as a large, gigantic head similar to that of a Dinosaur emerged from the water in front of the ship; with rough, thick, grayish skin. The creature opened its mouth showing its sharp teeth, then a blue glow began to form at the back of its mouth while its dorsal plates glowed the same color.
The Demons reacted and created Defensive Magic Circles to protect themselves from a possible attack.
But suddenly...
-"Hahahahahahaha!"- The Monster laughed loudly with his deep voice. -"You should have seen their faces! Hahahahahaha!"-
-"Hey, Gōjira, that wasn't funny!"- Naruto told him sternly. -"You almost got them to attack you!"-
Gōjira seemed to smile arrogantly. -"As if they could hurt me"-
-"Whatever"- Naruto looked at him seriously. -"You shouldn't have done that. These people are our guests"-
-"Oh?"- Gōjira looked at the Demons curiously. -"These insignificant beings will fight in the tournament?"-
-"Yes. We were supposed to bring amazement to our guests"- Naruto looked at him not at all happy. -"But you ruined it."-
-"Bring amazement?"- Gōjira smiled proudly. -"My presence alone brings amazement!"-
Naruto looked at him blankly. -"No, it's not true."-
-"Yes it is! Why don't I show you fighting in the tournament?"- Gōjira looked at the Demons arrogantly. -"I'm sure I'll swat them like flies."-
-"No need. We already have our fighters. So you continue with your work."-
Gōjira looked at him dully. -"What if I don't want to?"-
-"Oh, I don't know."- Naruto smiled at him. -"Why don't we ask Mothra?"-
Gōjira widened his eyes in horror, then growled angrily.
-"Whatever..."-
Gōjira muttered angrily, then submerged himself in the water again.
Naruto laughed. -"That always works"-
-"Hey, Naruto?"-
Sirzechs caught Naruto's attention.
-"Yes?"-
-"What was that thing?"-
Sirzechs asked with wide eyes as he pointed to the spot where Gōjira was before.
-"Ah, he's Gōjira, or they also call him Godzilla"- Naruto explained with a smile. -"He's one of the protectors of the maritime borders of Yōsogakure No Sato"-
Ajuka rubbed his chin. -"I've never seen a creature like that"-
-"It's like an ancient mutant creature or something"-
Naruto told him disinterestedly, then continued with the trip.
.....
...
....
....
After a few minutes, several Ninjas from the ship approached the Demons with seals; seals that they put on the backs of their hands.
-"Naru-kun, what is this for?"-
Serafall asked him, as she looked at the seal with curiosity.
Naruto smiled at her. -"You'll see."-
Suddenly, the front of the ship was illuminated by the rays of the sun as the fog stopped appearing, showing Yōsogakure No Sato in all its splendor.
The Demons looked in amazement at the beautiful island in front of them.
Then the ship continued along a route, where they passed through a giant gate and stopped at a dock.
-"Welcome to Yōsogakure No Sato!"-
Several people on the dock shouted, while raising a large banner that read "Welcome, Demon Faction."
-"What they said"-
Naruto said with a smile as he got off the ship with the Demons.
-"Welcome, Demonic Faction"- A woman spoke with a kind smile, who approached the group as they got off the dock. -"I am Philophrosyne, Minor Goddess of Friendship, Kindness and Reception of Greek Mythology; and I will be your guide to show you the wonders of Yōsogakure No Sato"-
Philophrosyne is a beautiful woman with a slender body. She has long brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a white Greek robe.
-"Minor Goddess of Greek Mythology?"-
Falbium asked surprised, then he and the other Maou looked at Naruto for answers.
-"It's a long story"- Naruto said with a nervous smile. -"But changing the subject, Filofrosine will show you the best places in Yōsogakure No Sato"-
-"It will be better for the young ones to take the tour. We have to talk about the tournament"-
Sirzechs told him, while the other Maou and the Leaders of the Demonic Clans nodded in agreement.
-"Okay"- Naruto accepted. -"I will take you to a place so we can talk"-
Naruto then walked away from the place, with the Maou and the Leaders of the Demonic Clans.
-"If you would be so kind as to follow me, I will take you to our first stop of the tour"-
Filofrósine told him with a smile, then walked away with the young Demons and their Peerages.
.....
...
....
....
-"Come and try our delicious Dangos!"-
-"Try our delicious Onigri!"-
Currently the young Devils were guided to the Food District, where there were several food stalls, with their respective vendors; as well as several people coming and going from various stalls.
-"One of the best places in Yōsogakure No Sato is the Food District"- Said Filofrosine with a smile. -"Where you can try our delicious foods"-
Rias looked around. -"The truth is everything looks delicious"-
-"Then please try it"- Said Filofrosine with a smile, then passed several cards to the Devils. -"With these cards you can buy anything. You just have to show it to the vendor"-
The Devils took the cards and dispersed.
-"Ha! As if I were eating food made by humans"- Riser scoffed, then noticed that his Peerage wasn't with him. Only to get angry when he saw them eating at one of the food stalls. -"Hey, what are you doing?!"-
-"Don't bother, Onii-sama"- A girl told him, while they were eating Onigri with the other members of Riser's Peerage. -"This is delicious"-
The girl is a beautiful young woman with dark blue eyes. She has long, blonde hair tied in two pigtails with large, drill-like curls and blue ribbons holding them in place. The front of her hair has several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped bang hanging over the bridge of her nose. Her initial outfit consisted of a light purple dress with dark purple details and a blue bow at the front. On the back, three feather-like extensions stick out from the dress that mimic a bird's tail.
She is Ravel Phenex, Riser's younger sister and a member of his Peerage, being a [Bishop].
-"But-"-
-"I'll tell Ōto-sama that you're causing trouble again."-
Ravel warned him seriously, causing him to turn pale. He's already in several troubles for the scandal he caused at Rias's birthday party. And since then Ravel has been watching him, at her father's request, so that he doesn't cause more trouble.
Riser reluctantly accepted it. -"Fine..."-
While that was going on with Riser and his Peerage, Rias Gremory and her Peerage were eating ramen from a stand called Ichiraku Ramen.
-"This is delicious"-
Kiba said, being amazed by the ramen.
-"I've eaten ramen before"- Rias said, also surprised by the ramen. -"But this is the most delicious one I've ever eaten"-
-"You brats are right"-
An old man who was also at the ramen stand spoke. Being none other than the God Odin.
-"Yes. Lord Naruto was not wrong. This is the food of the Gods"-
A blond man also said at the ramen stand. This person is the God Lugh.
Odin smiled. -"Maybe we can add this food to the banquets in Asgard"-
-(Asgard?)-
The Devils, minus Issei, thought in surprise.
-"That wouldn't be a bad idea, father"- said a man standing next to him. -"Too bad Thor couldn't come"-
He is a tall, handsome man who appears to be from Northern Europe in his early twenties. He has golden white hair, golden eyes, and a beard. He wears a tight white suit.
This person is the God Vidar, son of Odin and the God of Silence, Vengeance, and Justice from Norse Mythology.
-"Well"- Odin smiled. -"Let's get this over with and go find a good brothel"-
-"Lord Odin!"- Rossweisse looked at him sternly. -"Don't say that in public!"-
-(Odin!?)-
The Demons were surprised again.
-"Come on, Rossweisse, have some fun"- Odin smiled at his bodyguard. -"Why don't you take advantage and go find a guy to go out with?"-
-"I can't do that"- Rossweisse said seriously. -"As his bodyguard, I have to stay by his side"-
-"Oh? And how about you go visit Lord Naruto and have fun with him?"-
Odin asked her with a perverted smile while putting quotation marks around the word "have fun".
Rossweisse blushed massively when she understood what Odin meant.
-"I-I don't know what he means!"-
-"Oh, come on! Do you think I didn't notice the way you look at Lord Naruto?"- Odin smiled at her in a funny way. -"You're obviously in love."-
-"You're not!"-
-"Of course you are. Why don't you confess to him?"-
Rossweisse lowered her gaze in shame. -"H-He's m-married and has children."-
-"So? Polygamy is normal in this world."- Odin said. -"And it seems that Lord Naruto doesn't mind that."-
-"But it's also embarrassing..."-
-"I have to be thankful that you're not like that, Lord Lugh."-
Ogma said thankful that his boss isn't like Odin.
-"Speaking of which, when are you going to get a girlfriend?"-
Lugh asked him with a smile, causing Ogma to turn pale.
After a few minutes, the group of Gods finished eating and went somewhere else, leaving the Gremory Nobility surprised.
Kiba looked surprised at the Gods walking away. -"Were they...?"-
-"Yes, there's no doubt about it."-
Rias said in shock knowing that they were eating next to some Gods.
The others were also surprised; all but one.
-"Huh?"- Issei looked at them confused. -"What's wrong?"-
.....
...
.....
....
-"And these are the Training Grounds. Forty-four in total. Each one different from the other"- Filofrosyne explained with a smile. -"Each one is used by the Ninjas and inhabitants of Yōsogakure No Sato"- Then she showed a map behind her. -"This map shows the location of each training ground. If you want you can visit the training grounds. All except for No. 3; that one is prohibited for now"-
The Devils looked at the map, then each one headed in different directions; all except the Gremory Nobility, who looked at the map carefully, and some were already interested in some Training Grounds.
Like Koneko, who looked at a particular Training Ground on the map.
Training Ground No. 7: Meditation Training Ground.
Kiba also noticed a Training Ground.
Training Ground No. 25: Swordsman Training Ground.
-"Kiba, Koneko, are you coming?"- Rias asked him. -"We'll go to Training Camp No. 44"-
-"If you don't mind, Buchou, I'd like to go to another Training Camp"-
Koneko told him calmly.
-"Me too"- Kiba said with a smile. -"Yes, that's fine"-
-"No problem. You can go if you want"- Rias accepted with a smile. -"I'll see you here in thirty minutes"-
Then she walked away with Issei and Akeno.
Then Koneko and Kiba went their separate ways.
.....
.....
....
....
After walking for a few minutes, Koneko was able to reach Training Camp No. 7.
The Training Camp is a large, leafy forest where you can see only one path through the forest.
Koneko entered the leafy forest along the path, then came to a clearing where there were several people meditating in silence.
-"Oh, a guest," said a man as he approached Koneko.
The man had dark skin. Half of his upper body was bare while the other half was under an orange robe. An arrangement of pink roses surrounded the man's hair which was tied back in a black bun.
-"I'm sorry," Koneko apologized expressionlessly. -"I didn't mean to interrupt."-
-"Calm down, little one. They are very focused. Even if you shouted, they would still meditate."- said the man with a gentle smile. -"Oh, but where are my manners? I am Siddhartha Gautama. However, most people call me Buddha."-
Koneko opened her eyes slightly. She knew who this person was.
Buddha, The Enlightened One. The leader of the Buddhist Pantheon. One of the original sages and leaders of the age of meditation.
-"I'm Koneko Toujou"-
Koneko introduced herself as calmly as she could be in front of Buddha.
-"So tell me, Koneko, do you want to try it?"-
Buddha asked her with a smile as he pointed at the people meditating.
Koneko looked at the people meditating. She was interested in trying it, but if she relaxes too much, there's a risk that she'll start absorbing Natural Energy and start going crazy.
-"I'd like to"- Koneko said expressionlessly, then shook her head. -"But I can't"-
-"I see"- Buddha said. -"You're afraid of going crazy"-
Koneko was surprised. -"How did you know?"-
-"Maybe you hide it; but I can see that you are a Yõkai, more specifically a Nekoshou"- Said Buddha with a smile. -"But you can rest easy. That can't happen to you here. If you haven't noticed, this island is very different from the outside world"-
-"Yes, that's true"-
Koneko said as she nodded her head. Since they arrived at Yōsogakure No Sato, she could feel the magic flowing calmly around her. It was as if the same magical energy was linked to the entire town and the nature that surrounded it. It seemed that the same magic, along with the nature and the elements that composed them, was protecting the town and all its inhabitants, thus forming a warm and protective energy, lacking malice and ill will.
The same and at the same time very different from the quality energy that Naruto released.
Unknowingly, Koneko blushed slightly as she remembered that.
-"So don't worry about it. Yōsogakure No Sato is the perfect place to train Senjutsu and meditate"- Buddha told her with a smile. -"I would have liked to reach enlightenment in this place; I'm sure it would be very different"-
Then he joined the other people to meditate.
Koneko was hesitant at first, but then decided to join. She got into a meditation position, closed her eyes and relaxed.
After a few seconds of meditation, she unwittingly released her cat tail and ears, and began to absorb Natural Energy, but that didn't stop Koneko from continuing to meditate.
Not noticing that she grew a few centimeters and that her feminine attributes began to stand out a little more.
Koneko smiled softly, then continued meditating.
.....
...
....
....
At the same time that Koneko arrived at Training Camp No. 7, Kiba had arrived at Training Camp No. 25. There he could see a flat green field, where he could see several boys and girls his age, as well as see a tall man having a sword fight with a girl.
The man is tall and very muscular, dark skinned, with short spiky black hair, and half-slanted brown eyes. He was wearing bandages like a mask. This person is Zabuza Momochi, a member of the Mist Swordsmen Squad.
The girl is a pretty young woman of about sixteen years old. She has long black hair, as well as grey eyes. She was wearing a kind of short dress, similar to a nun's dress. This girl is Natsuki Yaegaki, daughter of the Demon Cleria Belial and the Ex-Exorcist Masaomi Yaegaki.
Kiba could see how Natsuki walked a few steps away from Zabuza, and then put her hand on the ground, where countless Demonic Swords of different attributes emerged.
Kiba opened his eyes in surprise as he recognized the Sacred Gear Sword Birth, also known as Demonic Sword Creation, a Sacred Gear that he also possesses.
Before the Swords could reach him, Zabuza destroyed them with a single movement of his Kubikiribōchō, then raised it, to protect himself from an attack from Natsuki with a Demonic Sword with a blade of fire.
-"Not bad, girl"- Zabuza praised him. -"But you still have years to beat me!"-
He then pushed Natsuki away with force, causing her Sword to break.
Natsuki landed on her feet, then created another Demonic Sword of Fire and a Demonic Sword of Ice. She then attacked Zabuza again.
Kiba continued watching the fight, then heard a female voice behind him.
-"Isaiah?"-
Kiba opened his eyes in shock upon hearing his old name that only very few knew, then turned around and looked at the owner of the voice.
It was a young woman who is about the same age as Kiba. She also has white hair tied in two braided ponytails with a hair clip on the right side of her bangs.
Kiba looked in shock as he recognized the girl.
-"Yōsokage-sama was right"- Tosca said with a smile and tears coming out of her eyes. -"It's you, Isaiah"-
-"No-It can't be..."- Kiba muttered in shock. -"To-Tosca?"-
-"Yes, it's me!"-
Tosca then hugged the still shocked Kiba.
Tears began to form in Kiba's eyes. -"B-But I th-thought that yo-you..."-
Tosca smiled at him. -"No, we all survived thanks to Yōsokage-sama."-
-"All of us?"-
He then noticed how several people gathered around the two, and Kiba quickly recognized them as his friends who were also victims of the Sacred Sword Project.
Kiba was speechless, as he began to cry uncontrollably.
-"We thought you had died."- Tosca said with a smile, regardless of Kiba crying on her shoulder. -"But when Yōsokage-sama told us that you were alive and that you would possibly come for the tournament, we quickly searched for you all over the island."-
And so Kiba cried, releasing everything he felt.
But he was happy; very happy that his friends were alive.
.....
.....
....
....
At the same time that Koneko and Kiba arrived at their respective Training Grounds, Rias and Akeno arrived at the large door that led to Training Ground No. 44.
Issei was only a few steps behind, giving perverted glances to the girls, while thanking his luck to be alone with two beautiful girls.
-"Issei"- Rias caught Issei's attention, bringing him out of his fantasy. She smiled at him. -"Could you please open the door?"-
-"Sure, Buchou"-
Issei obediently accepted, then headed towards the door.
And after several minutes, and with Akeno's help in the end, they were able to open the door, to show a beautiful field full of different and beautiful flowers, and a gigantic lake. A gigantic forest could also be seen up ahead, and several meters further in the background were large mountains.
But they were not only surprised by the beautiful landscape, but also by the creatures that were there.
-"Those are Dinosaurs!"-
-"I thought they were extinct"-
-"It seems not"-
Issei, Akeno and Rias gave their respective reactions to seeing creatures that were supposedly extinct. Then they noticed a group of creatures sleeping comfortably near them.
Rias was surprised to recognize the creatures. -"Those are Chimeras!"-
Of course it was a surprise; after all the Chimera is one of the most dangerous creatures in the world. Not only because of its powerful strength and its powerful fire breath that could be on par with a High Level Dragon, but because of its powerful poison, which is capable of instantly killing an Ultimate Class Demon; it could even immobilize a Maou Class Demon.
And that was nothing compared to the Original Chimera, who was the son of the God Typhon and the Nymph Echidna. They said that the Original Chimera's poison was capable of immobilizing a God Class being.
-"Wow, how strange they are"-
Issei said in amazement, as he approached the sleeping Chimeras.
But before he could get any closer, someone grabbed him by the collar of the back of his shirt, then threw him on his back to the ground.
After Issei came out of the daze caused by the fall, he could see a boy standing in front of him. He is a handsome boy of approximately twenty years old. He has short brown hair and fiery red eyes. He is wearing black jeans, along with a white t-shirt under a leather jacket, and white sneakers.
-"Hey!"- The boy whispered in an angry tone to the confused Issei. -"What do you think you're doing!?"-
-"Wh-What?"-
-"Approaching a sleeping Chimera is a death sentence! Even the Dinosaurs know that!"- The boy whispered angrily. -"If they had woken up, you would already be dead!"-
Issei turned pale upon hearing this, then quickly walked away from the Chimeras and stood behind Rias.
Rias sighed, then looked at the boy with gratitude. -"Thank you for helping him."-
-"No problem. That's my job."- The boy said. -"Are you the Devils who came for the tournament?"-
-"Yes. I'm Rias Gremory."-
-"Akeno Himejima."-
-"I-Issei Hyoudou."-
Rias and Akeno introduced themselves with a smile, while Issei was still scared by the Chimera issue.
-"I'm Claus Galanis, the Chimera Caretaker."- Claus introduced himself with a smile. -"It's nice to meet you"-
-(Galanis?)-
Rias thought that as she recognized the last name, but couldn't remember where it came from.
-"I hope you put on a good show at the Tournament"- Claus smiled at them. -"Me and the other caretakers will go see you"-
Rias smiled back. -"I'll do my best"-
A roar was then heard in the skies.
The group looked up at the skies, then looked at three Eastern Dragons. One is orange with red and yellow details, the other is yellow with red details, and the last one is completely blue.
-"Dragons?"- Claus was confused. -"They're very far from their territory"-
Rias was surprised by what he said. -"There are Dragons here?"-
-"Yes. There are many in Yōsogakure No Sato"- Claus said, then pointed at the mountains in the background. -"They live in the mountains"-
Then the two Dragons landed on the ground in front of the group; but they were only looking at Issei, who was only hiding behind Rias.
-"See, I told you"- Said the Orange Dragon in a male voice to the Yellow Dragon. -"I knew I had felt Ddraig's aura around here"-
-"Yes, you were right"-
Said the Yellow Dragon in a female voice.
-"So that boy is Ddraig's host?"-
The Blue Dragon asked in a male voice as he looked at Issei.
-"What me what?"-
Issei asked confused, then a bracelet appeared on his left arm. It is a red armored bracelet with yellow details and a green jewel on the top of the palm area.
-"[Tian-Long, Di-Long, Shen-Long]"- Said a voice coming out of the bracelet's jewel. -"[Ah, it's been a while]"-
-"Huh!?"-
Issei shouted in surprise that the bracelet could speak.
Rias and Akeno were also surprised. But then Rias thought about what the Dragons said, and then her surprise increased, but it also caused her to smile happily.
-"Issei!"- Rias smiled happily at him. -"You don't have a Twice Critical!"-
-"Huh?"- Issei became confused. -"So what do I possess?"-
-"You are the user of one of the strongest Sacred Gears there is! A Longinus Class one! The Boost Gear!"-
-"What!?"-
-"[That's right, partner. I am Ddraig, one of the Celestial Dragons, also known as the Red Emperor Dragon and the Welsh Dragon. And you are my host]"-
-"Ara, ara. So Issei-kun possesses a Longinus Sacred Gear"- Akeno said surprised. -"And we thought it was a Twice Critical"-
-"[That's not a surprise]"- Ddraig said. -"[After all, the Sacred Gear hasn't fully awakened yet]"-
-"And how did I fully awaken it?"-
Issei asked him curiously.
-"[Oh, I don't know]"- Ddraig said calmly, then started yelling angrily. -"[How about you stop spying on girls and thinking about breasts for a moment, and start training!?]"-
Issei lowered his head in shame. -"I'm sorry"-
-"Hahahahahaha"- The Orange Dragon laughed. -"What a host you got, Ddraig"-
-"[Yes. Don't remind me...]"-
-"Hey, Tian-Long"- The Yellow Dragon called the Orange Dragon. -"I think it's time to introduce ourselves"-
-"Right. Excuse me for not introducing myself"- The Orange Dragon smiled at the Demons. -"I am Tian-Long, known as the Celestial Dragon in Chinese Mythology; although I do not reach the Celestial Class"-
-"I am Di-Long"- The Yellow Dragon, Di-Long, introduced himself with a smile. -"Also known as the Dragon of the Underworld in Chinese Mythology"-
-"I am Shen-Long"- The Blue Dragon, Shen-Long, introduced himself calmly. -"Known as the Spiritual Dragon in Chinese Mythology"-
Rias and Akeno were surprised to be in front of three well-known Dragons in the Supernatural World.
Issei just remained confused, not knowing who the Dragons were.
-"[I have to say that it is nice to see the three of you again]"- Ddraig said. -"[But I am surprised that you are here]"-
Di-Long smiled. -"Yōsogakure No Sato is an incredible place to stay"-
Shen-Long nodded calmly. -"It's very peaceful and everyone here treats you well"-
Tian-Long put on a big smile. -"Besides, there are many strong people here to fight with"-
-"[Speaking of fights. Tian-Long, I heard that a few thousand years ago, Yu-Long defeated you in a fight and took away your title of Dragon King]"-
-"Grrr, don't remind me"- Said Tian-Long angrily. -"Just because he was lucky enough to defeat me, he thinks he has the right to steal my title of Dragon King!"-
-"He defeated you fairly"- Di-Long told him calmly. -"Get over it"-
Shen-Long nodded his head in agreement. -"Besides, you underestimated him yourself, and you didn't take the fight seriously"-
Tian-Long growled angrily upon hearing that, while Ddraig laughed out loud.
Tian-Long then smirked. -"At least I wasn't locked in a gauntlet"-
-"[Hey!]"-
And so the Dragons were talking, under the watchful eyes of the Devils and Claus.
...
.....
....
....
Rias, Akeno and Issei returned to the entrance of the Training Grounds, to see that all the Devils were already there; as well as Kiba was waiting for them. But when they saw him, they quickly noticed something.
-"Were you crying?"-
Issei asked him curiously, seeing that his eyes were red from crying.
Rias was worried. -"Are you okay, Yuuto?"-
Kiba gave them a happy smile. -"I've never been better"-
The group blinked in confusion, then left it like that when they saw that nothing bad was happening to Kiba.
-"We just have to wait for Koneko"-
Rias told them when she saw the absence of her [Rook], then she saw how Koneko approached them.
-"Sorry for the delay, Buchou"-
-"It's okay"-
Rias told him, then looked at Koneko and noticed that something was different about her.
Koneko noticed her gaze. -"Is something wrong?"-
-"No, it's nothing"- Rias said. -"We'd better continue with the tour"-
Then they followed Filofrosyne, with the other Demons.
.....

....
Currently the four Maou, along with Grayfia, were in Naruto's office. The meeting they had with the Leaders of the Demonic Clans and the Leaders of the Clans of Yōsogakure No Sato had just concluded.
Afterwards the Leaders of the Demonic Clans went on their own to explore the Village, before the tournament begins. And Naruto wanted to talk to the Maou about a subject.
-"And what did you want to talk about, Naruto?"-
Sirzechs asked him curiously.
Naruto smiled. -"I've been having an idea of how to start the tournament"-
Falbium raised an eyebrow. -"What idea?"-
And so Naruto told them his idea, causing the Maou to have different reactions.
Sirzechs smiled upon hearing the idea. -"I like that idea"-
-"A curious way to start a tournament"-
-"That will cause chaos"-
Ajuka and Falbium gave their opinions, respectively.
Serafall smiled. -"I like the idea!"-
Grayfia just stayed silent; but was surprised upon hearing the idea.
-"So shall we do it?"-
Naruto asked them with a smile.
The Maou looked at each other, then looked at Naruto and nodded.
-"Fine"- Naruto widened his smile. -"We'll do it to open the tournament"-
-"Fine. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to explore the Village"- Sirzechs said. -"I promised Millicas I'd buy him a souvenir."-
Then he headed towards the office door, with Grayfia following behind.
-"I'd like to explore the village too."-
Ajuka said, as he also headed towards the door.
-"I'm going to look for a good place to sleep."-
Falbium said with a yawn as he headed towards the door.
-"Are you coming, Serafall?"-
Ajuka asked her, seeing that she didn't move from her spot.
Serafall smiled at him. -"I want to talk to Naru-kun about something."-
The Devils nodded, then left the office.
As soon as they left, Serafall moved very quickly to sit on Naruto's lap, facing each other.
Naruto blinked in surprise at how fast Serafall moved.
-"You know, Naru-kun."- Serafall spoke to him with a smile and a small blush on her cheeks. -"It's been a long time since we've been alone."-
Naruto smiled, then tapped his desk, activating a seal that caused no sound to come out and the office to be completely locked, so no one could enter.
-"Well."- Naruto smiled. -"There's still a while before the tournament starts. So-"-
But he was interrupted when he received a passionate kiss from Serafall, which he quickly reciprocated.

After an hour, all the inhabitants of Yōsogakure No Sato and the Demons were already in the stadium.
The inhabitants were sitting excited about the tournament; so much so that there were even Dragons watching from the sky.
The Noblesse of the Demons who are going to participate, were sitting together with the inhabitants of Yōsogakure No Sato, wishing luck to their respective masters or teachers.
While the Maou and the Leaders of the Demon Clans were in the VIP box, with the Leaders of the Clans of Yōsogakure No Sato and the Guest Gods; to the surprise of the Demons.
-"Where is Serafall?"- Ajuka asked when he saw that Serafall was not there. -"She's taking a while"-
Zeoticus looked around the box. -"Sirzechs, Grayfia and Naruto are not there either"-
Then Serafall appeared agitated. -"Sorry for being late!"-
-"There you are"- Falbium said. -"The tournament is about to start"-
Then he noticed something that Ajuka also noticed.
-"Serafall..."- Ajuka looked confused at Serafall. -"Why are you wearing your Magical Girl costume?"-
He was sure that since they arrived at the Village, Serafall had been wearing her formal attire all this time.
Serafall blushed, then spoke nervously. -"E-Eh, b-because it's more comfortable"-
She then headed to her seat.
Ajuka and Falbium didn't completely believe her when they noticed other things; like her clothes were a little wrinkled and her hair was a little messy.
At first they had an idea of what happened; but they quickly dismissed it, since it couldn't be possible.
But they quickly thought about it again when they saw something else...
That she was limping as she made her way to her seat...
Ajuka and Falbium could only shake their heads, their hands on their faces.
A few minutes later Grayfia appeared alone.
-"Grayfia"- Venelana looked at her curiously. -"Where is Sirzechs?"-
-"You'll see, Venelana-sama"-
Grayfia answered calmly, causing everyone, except the Maou, to look at her in confusion.
But before they could ask, someone spoke from the commentators' box.
-"Good afternoon! I am Eufema, the Minor Goddess of Words of Good Omen, Acclamation, Praise, Applause and Cries of Triumph from Greek Mythology!"- Eufema shouted excitedly. -"And I will be your commentator for today!"-
Euphemism is a beautiful, slender woman with fair skin, long black hair, and brown eyes. She is wearing a purple Greek robe.
-"With me, in the commentator's box, is Themis, the Titan of Law from Greek Mythology, who will be the referee for this tournament."-
Euphemism said with a smile, as she pointed to Themis sitting on her left.
Themis put on a calm expression. -"I want a fair fight from both sides."-
Themis is a beautiful and calm woman with long brown hair and her eyes were covered with a white cloth ribbon. She was wearing a white Greek robe.
-"Also accompanying us to give his opinions is the great strategist of Yōsogakure No Sato, Shikaku Nara!"-
Euphemism then pointed to Shikaku sitting on her right, then sweated as she saw him fast asleep. She laughed nervously, then continued talking.
-"I would also like to tell you that not only is all of Yōsogakure No Sato watching us, but we are also broadcasting live so that our friends from the Demonic Faction can enjoy the Tournament!"-

....
....
-"I hope it starts already"-
Millicas said excitedly, while watching the tournament on the large flat screen TV. It was taken care of by all the servants of Gremory Castle.
.....
...
....
....
-"It's time for us to find out who the fighters of each Faction will be"-
Eufema then pointed to the large screen of the stadium.
The screen showed the names and photos of the fighters of each Faction in alphabetical order.
Shinobi Faction:
Hikaru
Itami Uchiha
Ichiro Hyūga-Uchiha
Naruko Uzumaki-Namikaze
Tsunade Senju-Uzumaki
Tetsu Uzumaki
Yoshio Inuzuka
Demonic Faction:
Diodora Astaroth
Rias Gremory
Riser Phenex
Sona Sitri
Seekvaira Agares
Sairaorg Bael

Everyone cheered upon seeing who the contestants were, before Eufema continued speaking.
-"But before the tournament begins, we will be holding a special event."-
The spectators became confused, before noticing two people entering the arena. They gasped as they recognized them.
-"And it will be a fight between the Yōsokage, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, and the Maou Lucifer, Sirzechs Lucifer!"-
Zeoticus was shocked. -"Oh, I didn't expect that"-
Venelana smiled. -"Looks like they're finally going to fight again"-
....
...
.....
....
In the Stadium Arena, Naruto and Sirzechs looked at each other with a challenging smile.
-"We can finally see which of the two is stronger"-
-"Yes. I've been training for this"- Sirzechs said with a smile. -"I've become stronger than before"-
-"We'll see"-
Naruto said with a smile, then got into battle stance.
Sirzechs just got into a fighting stance, still smiling.
The entire stadium was in a deathly silence; excitedly waiting for the start of the fight.
-"Begin!"-
Temis shouted, then both Naruto and Sirzechs disappeared in an explosion of smoke.
And so began the great fight that would be remembered forever.
The Sun of the Underworld vs the Crimson Satan.
