~~~Chapter 3
Luffy, Usopp, Brooke, and Chopper walked through the sunlit street, glancing back and forth with admiration. Chopper saw a bookstore and instantly dashed inside and started frantically searching for some kind of medical book he didn’t have.
“Excuse me,” he said with his cute little voice, “do you have a section for medical books?”
“Why yes, right over there,” replied a man wearing a simple uniform, directing Chopper to a small section near the back of the store.
Chopper had to turn into his taller and larger form to carry the various books he found. He was waiting in line to buy the books when he saw am expensive looking history book, just within his budget, along with his stack of books of course.
“I’ll get this for Robin,” he murmured to himself as a woman motioned for him and started adding up the prices of his books.
“That’ll be one thousand eight hundred belli please,” she said with a soft voice.
“You can keep the change,” said Chopper handing her his bag of money.
The coins clanked against each other as the kind lady counted tem quickly before sending Chopper off with a warm smile.
‘Nami would kill me if she had been there…’ Chopper thought, suddenly fearing Nami’s wrath.
Usopp found a roadside stand that sold the basic materials he used to make his ammo. He stood over the pricey items trying to barter with the bald salesman for a lower price.
“This much for low quality gunpowder?!” Usopp yelled in his frustration.
Brooke had every eye on himself, being a walking skeleton and all. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a polished and well made piano in the window of a store that was going out of business soon.
“Excuse me,” Brooke said politely as the store owner shrieked, “how much for that piano?”
“J-just take it! T-take it and L-leave us alone!” the man screamed in fear.
Brooke jumped with joy as he pulled out a den den mushi and called Franky.
“Franky-san, I found a piano and I need help carrying it!”
“Sounds supah! I’ll be there in a minute, where are you?”
“At a music store, you’ll see me if you walk straight down the road in front of the ship.”
Luffy, being the meat head he is, found a teriyaki stand and bought every piece of meat they had. In fact, he simply forced the bag money onto the salesman and ran off with all the meat, over paying him big time.
When they were back at the ship, Nami praised Brooke for not spending any money at all. Yet she hit everyone else with her climatact for wasting theirs on something stupid.
“Here,” Chopper said, handing Robin the book he had bought her.
“Thanks, Chopper-kun,” she said with an illuminating smile on her face.
~~~Chapter 4
The ocean sparkled as its spray splashed against the gleaming side of the Sunny Go as it floated gently in the harbor. Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy were rolling down their small slide, flopping out into the grass covered deck, laughing like small children.
Once again, Zoro was snoring peacefully in the crow’s nest, his three swords at his side. Well, actually, peacefully doesn’t quite explain it. He was snoring quite loudly.
Nami had her head held over a half-done map of the nearby seas, smiling confidently at the current state of the chart. Robin lay in a sun chair next to the table, sipping a fancy looking drink while reading the book that Chopper had bought her.
Franky was hard at work buffing out any scratches or any other minor injuries to his beloved masterpiece, the Sunny Go. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and took another large gulp of cola, sighing loudly as he put it back in his chest compartment. Sanji was carefully examining the recently caught fish, debating on which one would make the best quality dinner. His eyes turned to hearts whenever he thought of Nami or Robin.
Brooke sat at his new piano under the deck, practicing his skills, which were somewhat rusty after having spent all that time drifting on a broken ship through the Florian Triangle.
A torn piece of paper flew through the air, gently floating down in front of Chopper, who was conducting experiments on the sun soaked deck.
“What’s this?” he said, picking up the flapping piece of paper, “a carnival?”
”Let me see that,” Nami said, looking up from her map and snatching the paper away, and she read the paper out loud: A Pirate’s Carnival! All pirates are welcome! Scheduled for noon tomorrow! Entry fee of 1,000 belli! Take it or leave it!
“One thousand belli?!” Nami screamed angrily once she finished reading, “That’s outrageous! We’re not going!”
“Aw, c’mon Nami!” whined Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp.
“It could be fun, Nami-san,” said Robin, gently suggesting the idea.
Nami sighed and said, “Well, I guess my hands are tied then, we’ll go.”
“YEAH! CARNIVAL!” yelled Luffy.
“But we don’t know who’s going to be there, since that part of the flier was torn off,” said Franky, sticking his head up over the railing, “so be on your guard, mugiwara.”
Robin gently laughed as Luffy, Chopper, Franky, and Usopp danced happily, exited about the event. And in truth, even Nami laughed a little, unable to contain the excitement that welled up in her as well.
~~~Chapter 5
The big top wavered ever so slightly, striped with orange and white. A strangely dressed pirate was accepting belli from the guests, giving out seat numbers directing the people into the huge tent. A large, brightly colored ship floated gently behind the tent. It gave the same feel that a circus would, several cannons mounted on its front. Its flag and its sails were down for the time being.
“That ship looks familiar…” said Nami, going through her memory trying to find a match.
“Oh well, let’s just get inside and get this over with,” Zoro grunted with drooping eyes and an annoyed look on his face.
“Thank you, you will be situated in the front row, lucky dogs,” said the man as he greedily took the fee out of Nami’s hands, “now please go inside and take your seats. If you get hungry, there a concession stand to the left of the entrance, you can’t miss it.”
Luffy’s eyes got wide and he began to drool when he saw the fresh meat being grilled behind the woman taking orders at the stand. Obviously, Nami had no choice but to buy everyone something, causing her to silently cry as they took their seats in front of the vast ring.
“Heeheehahahah!” laughed a clown dressed with an orange pirate hat, orange cape, red and white striped shirt, and baby blue pants; his big red nose made some of the kids in the audience giggle, “Welcome to the pirate’s carnival! I’m your host, captain of Buggy’s Band of Pirates, Buggy the Clown!”
Luffy, Zoro’s, Nami’s, Usopp’s, and Sanji’s jaws all dropped.
“Luffy, isn’t that the guy who tried to kill you in Logue Town?” Sanji asked, quickly turning to Luffy.
“Yup, Buggy the clown,” replied Luffy, chuckling at the coincidence.
“This is my lovely assistant, the eater of the slip slip fruit Alvida!” Buggy yelled, launched his head and his hand that was holding a microphone into the air, “Oh yes, I am the eater of the chop chop fruit!”
A beautiful woman with a sweater tied around her waist, long pink and white striped pants, a white bra, and a purple vest seemed to skate on her bare feet into the arena off of the top of a tall ramp. She held onto her white western hat as she circled the arena before coming to a halt beside Buggy.
“And now, my first mate, Mohji the Beast Tamer, and my second mate, Cabaji the Acrobat!”
Mohji, a man wearing a white fur top and head piece, blue pants, and white fur paw shaped shoes, came into the arena riding a large, pale-looking lion. Cabaji, a man with half of his hair in stripes, wearing a scarf and vest, which both reached his ankles, and white pants, rolled in on a unicycle on the same ramp that Alvida had used.
The lights dimmed and a spotlight focused on Buggy’s body, which his head and hand quickly returned to as he said, “Now, let the show begin! Heeheehahahah!”

The New Era~~~Chapter 25
~~~Chapter 25: Wings; White & Black
Noir launched a ray of pure red at Remas, but Remas slashed through it and was instantly in front of Noir. He brought his sword across Noir’s chest, cutting open a huge gash, and sending blood flying everywhere. Noir stumbled back but easily got back on his feet as he flipped over Remas and slammed his foot into his back, sending him into the sand.
“I’m better than the last time we fought!” Remas yelled crazily as he spun around before hitting the sand and slashed Noir across his leg.
Noir wasn’t used to having to dodge attacks; he was used to having to heal himself constantly, and therefore making himself seem half-immortal. Of course, most weapons weren’t strong enough to hold any power against an angel, but this one did. And he couldn’t heal himself. He would have to adapt if he wanted to survive this time.
“As an angel, I can’t lose to a demon, on my pride, I will purge evil!” Noir announced proudly.
Noir flew into the air, but something surprised him. To blackened wings spread behind Remas, but not like a demon’s… they were feathered.
“You’re an angel?!” Noir yelled, stunned by the sudden secret revealed.
“Yes!” he started angrily, “God dumped me on this earth, and then I fell to hell! My wings were burnt black, and my heart hardened… YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LOSE EVERYTHING!”
Now Remas was in a merciless rage, and he was going to destroy everything. He lunged for Noir, flapping his wings furiously as he slung his sword and sent a black shock wave flying at Noir, flailing wildly through the air. But, this time, Noir was ready. He caught the beam and threw it aside.
“Blind rage isn’t enough, it will only quicken your death!” he yelled, grabbing Remas’s face, “Die!”
Noir fired a ray, straight through Remas’s head, sending Remas into the sand once again. Remas flailed around, yelping in pain and holding his hand over the left side of his face. When he moved his hand, the image was horrific. The left side of his face had pieces of it torn of and blood was streaming down and onto his shoulder.
“YOU BASTARD! I’m going to kill you!”
Noir launched a ray of pure red at Remas, but Remas slashed through it and was instantly in front of Noir.

Dream Cruise Chapter 2
~~~Chapter 2
Archeo Island soon came into view as the Sunny Go rushed along the blue waves. A huge rocky mountain with snow at its tip reached up into the clouds. The Sunny came to a stop as it slid snuggly in between another ship and the dock.
“Nami, can I have my spending money?!” asked Luffy, jumping off the ship and onto the creaky wooden dock.
“Yohohohoho~!” said a skeleton in a torn suit.
Brooke held his hat onto his afro and gripped his light purple cane as he jumped down besides Luffy with a thump. Nami stuck her head over the railing, her hair waving ever so slightly in the wind.
“Two thousand belli for both of you,” she yelled, tossing them two small bags of coins.
“Wait for us!” screamed Usopp, as he let down a rope and wood ladder.
He quickly dropped down, and Chopper wasn’t far behind.
The doctor, Chopper, the marksman, Usopp, the musician, Brooke, and the captain, Luffy dashed off into the brightly lit town streets, flying by island residents.
“Nami~~, Robin~~!” Sanji yelled, dashing out of the kitchen with two exquisite drinks, “I made punch.”
Robin sipped her drink as she sat in the shade of an umbrella, reading one of her history books. Nami was leaning over a large piece of mapping paper that she had flattened out on the table, mapping the parts of the Grand Line that they had recently explored.
“Navigator-kun,” Robin started, turning her head slightly towards Nami, “it’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?”
“Yeah,” Nami replied lazily, “but I can’t imagine what those four are getting themselves into out there.”
Nami quietly sighed and sipped Sanji’s special punch before going back to her map.
Under the deck, Franky and Zoro were replacing the barrels of cola that the Sunny runs on. The sloshing of the cola filled the room as Zoro and Franky lifted the new barrels into place.
“Well, it looks we’re done here,” remarked Franky, “want a cola?”
“Sure,” Zoro replied as he made sure that his three swords were tightly tied to his waist.
Zoro paused as he held the sword that his childhood friend and rival, Kuina, had given him. Franky reached for an ice box, pulling out a couple of colas and tossing one at Zoro.
Zoro was snapped back to reality as the bottle of cola smashed to pieces when it hit him on the side of the head.
“Huh,” Franky said while gulping cola, “try paying attention next time.”
“You!” Zoro snarled angrily at Franky, ready to kill him.

Large New Era Update
~~~Chapter 18: The New Ones
A man with black hair and red eyes sat against a wall of ground, under the cemetery where Noir and the others had fought. His white fangs glinted from the dancing fire of a single black candle. A tall man with purple hair down his back and sagging jeans with a rose in his hand sat on the other side of the cave.
“So… that strange dude is gone, huh?” asked the one with fangs.
“But of course!” answered the other, “Moi, Asears, have checked over ten times now.”
“Cut the accent, Asears.”
“But, Yokaigen, it’s a natural accent!”
“Retard…”
“UNFORGIVABLE! YOU DARE TO CALL MOI A ‘RETARD’?!”
“Shut-up already. You’re lucky, you’re the only demon I haven’t slain so far, so consider your self lucky!”
“Lucky!? I am more than capable of destroying you and banishing you to the pits of the netherworld!”
With that, Asears disappeared, a few small glowing balls of energy floating where he had stood. Yokaigen got up and kicked a bone aside. He jumped out of the hole created by Noir’s merciless rampage; Asears was already there.
“Stop jumping through dimensions,” remarked Yokaigen.
“No, it is just simply too easy.”
“Humph…”
“So, where are we going now?”
“If I told you then you would just take passage in another dimension.”
“Yup.”
Yokaigen looked extremely irritated as they walked into the forest, heading south.
The next morning in Konoha, Naruto was awoken by a guard rushing into his room… Hinata was already and getting dressed. She shrieked and kicked him the balls, throwing him into the wall in the hall.
Naruto paused, a scared look on his face, forcing a fake smile to try to hide the fear.
Once Naruto was ready, he walked out of the room and started poking the pile of guards outside their room. By now more guards had come. Just then, another guard came, and, without noticing Naruto, tried to go in their room.
“If you value your manhood, I would just tell me what you have to say,” remark Naruto, “but sadly, these are never gonna have kids.
“Naruto-sama,” said the guard, backing away from the door, “it seems that two men have infiltrated the village… well, actually, they didn’t have an I.D. and held a gun to the guards head to get in.”
Suddenly, Asears appeared in the hall next to the guard, “Do you know wher- Oh, there you are!”
“That’s one of them!” yelled the guard, already making a run for it.
“Do not worry, Yokaigen and moi only wish to speak to you.”
~~~Chapter 19: Descendent of Hell
Soon enough, Yokaigen, Asears, Naruto, and Hinata were gathered in Naruto’s office.
“Where is this Neji I’ve heard of?” asked Yokaigen.
“You probably don’t want to know,” answered Naruto, “besides, my wife, Hinata Hyuuga, is subbing for him.”
“What a beautiful woman,” said Asears, suddenly on his knee in front of Hinata, grabbing her hand, “may I ask for your name, mademoiselle?”
Hinata, in surprise, went for all men’s weak spot, but Asears was suddenly only half a body.
“Ho ho ho! You are well prepared I see! But those tactics will not work on me!”
Hinata shrieked.
“But I’ll pay you to do to Yokaigen,” Asears whispered in her ear before reappearing on the other side of the room, waving at Hinata.
“…” Naruto was already pretty mad at this guy, “Whatever, just tell me what you came here for.”
“We have information about the man who has been behind the recent attacks,” started Yokaigen, “Geraunt, a man from the very pits of hell.”
“You see,” interrupted Asears, “Geraunt conquered the netherworld, but his lust for power led him to this world, and now he wants it, too.”
“Apparently, he lives in the church to the north,” said Yokaigen, “there is a dimensional rift underneath the church.”
“How did that get there?” asked Naruto.
“Well… actually,” started Asears, “he convinced me to do it. But now I wish to atone for my sins by helping to defeat him.”
“Wait, you said he wants to take over this whole world? Doesn’t that mean that he is planning on attacking more than just us?”
“Yes, in fact, we’ve found out just recently that he is planning on attacking the sand soon enough. He’s already destroyed the sound, grass, and waterfall, or at least what’s left of those puny civilizations.”
“Wait, the sound?”
“Yes… Orochimaru’s back.” Said Yokaigen, “Apparently, he revived from Sasuke’s curse mark before he returned to the village and killed off all of Sasuke’s followers, also, we’ve heard that after he was defeated, he and Kabuto, whom he also revived, are rogues, traveling trying to find to find refuge.”
“Refuge? Orochimaru?”
“Yes, he has changed. I think that you may be able to use him to your advantage. We heard that he is heading for the sand to warn of Geraunt’s attack as we speak.”
“Heh… well, now we have another reason for going to the sand…” muttered Naruto, “Asears, I understand that you can travel through dimensions, is it possible for you to transport a large group of people?”
“Yes, but I’ll need a few scrolls,” answered Asears.”
“We’ll provide those, just get us to the sand by tomorrow.”
“Fine.”
The rest of the day was filled with preparation. Asears’s scrolls were made, and ninja were selected to go to the sand. Naruto, Kamizo, Kimimaro, Itachi, Sasuke, whom had already been punished for not telling of Orochimaru’s return, Chihiro, and Noir. Everyone else was to stay and protect the village. Of course, Asears and Yokaigen were going as well.
The next morning, the ninja that were going to the sand were gathered inside of a circle surrounded by scrolls. Asears focused all of his chakra, and two huge devil’s wings wrapped around everyone, and they disappeared, leaving the village to the ninjas that were left behind.
~~~Chapter 20: Bad news
The group found themselves inside another dimension. Asears stood nearby, holding a door.
“Ladies first,” he said, motioning for the others to go first.
The group found themselves in front of the kazekage mansion. Gaara was staring out a window, wondering how they had suddenly all appeared.
“Well, well,” hissed a familiar voice, “you all got here before me. Long time no see, Asears, Yokaigen.”
There stood Orochimaru and Kabuto. But there was a new face as well. A girl in a blue kimono with two katanas sheathed on her back. A wolf stood by her.
“This is Nami Kaguya, and her wolf, and Ronto,” said Kabuto.
“Wha-what?!” stuttered Kimimaro when he heard the name.
“Onee-san?” asked Nami.
Kimimaro was hugging her instantly.
“Kimimaro…” started Kamizo, “you have a little sister?”
“I thought she was dead, but I guess not!”
After Kimimaro and Nami were caught up, Nami requested that Asears bring Komacki, since she had met him when Orochimaru had. In only a moment, the entire cycle that Kimimaro had gone through was gone through by Komacki.
When they finally got inside the kazekage mansion, Gaara and Rutsu were waiting for them.
“Gaara,” said Orochimaru, trying to hide a hateful tone, “Geraunt, the demon behind the attacks on Konoha is coming here. He’ll probably be here tomorrow night.”
“Thanks,” replied Gaara.
“So, Orochimaru,” started Kimimaro, “are you on our side now?”
“But of course,” Orochimaru replied, “I don’t have anything left; do you really expect me not to be on your side now?”
Asears was already on his knees at Rutsu’s feet.
“Mademoiselle,” he said, as he tried to grab her hand.
Gaara crushed his hand.
“We’re here to help, and we have a score to settle with Geraunt,” said Naruto, staring at Asears broken hand as Chihiro and Noir worked to heal it.
“As long as this ‘Asears’ stays away from Rutsu.”
“Yes sir, you can trust moi!”
“Yeah right!” yelled Naruto.
Later that night, Noir and Chihiro sat on a bench outside.
“Noir…”
“Yes?”
“What’s heaven like?”
“It’s a wonderful place, covered in beautiful flowers and temples.”
“Huh…”
“Yes…”
Suddenly, Chihiro embraced Noir, and the rest of the night went off of that…
The next morning, Asears had some distilling news.
“I checked last night, Geraunt is going to be by noon.”
~~~Chapter 21: Geraunt’s army
Clouds shrouded the sun, but the sun shone through onto the sands of the dessert. A man in an olive trench coat with black hair down his back and black jeans; a devils tail behind him. His eyes glared red, and his right arm was a dark red, a glowing white line went up his arm, starting at a circle on the back of his hand
“Today, we take the sand village!” Geraunt yelled, holding his hands above his head and facing his army.
The warriors were all devils, generally wearing black jeans, no shirt, and pitchforks, axes, and swords in hand. Their eyes all gleamed deep red, and their hair ranged from deep black all the way to dark red. Zeke stood next to Geraunt, smiling sadistically.
“Boss! Boss! We Destroy!” Zeke chanted in his childish voice.
A demon with a large sword, covered in red markings, and a red over coat and white hair stood next to Geraunt as well.
“Remas,” Geraunt said to the demon, “are we ready?”
“Yeah, I guess,” he replied, “Pascus, you ready?”
Pascus, a demon wearing fancy black clothes and black hair that went back much like Sasuke’s and red tipped at the end.
“Yeah, let’s go,” he grunted.
With that, Geraunt lifted his hand so that his palm was facing the sand. Suddenly a black beam lashed out, hitting the southern entrance to the village, opening their path.
“Well then… attack!” Geraunt yelled, pointing his finger directly at the kazekage mansion.
The impact shook the village.
“Their here!” yelled Asears, suddenly appearing.
“Asears,” Naruto started, “take Noir, Gaara, and I to the back of their lines, we’ll take care of their leaders. Kimimaro, you and Komacki are in charge of defending the village from that massive army. Let’s go!”
Asears wrapped his wings around the four of them, and they instantly disappeared, leaving Chihiro, Nami, Komacki, Kimimaro, Orochimaru, Kabuto, Yokaigen, Itachi, Rutsu, and Sasuke to defend against the army.
The group left behind dashed towards the destroyed entrance, where the demons were already flooding in. The Kaguya sibling all brought out there bones, ready to fight. Itachi, Chihiro, and Sasuke activated their strongest sharingans. Kabuto prepared his chakra scalpels, and Yokaigen loaded his guns full of massive rounds. Rutsu and Orochimaru began charging their chakra as they ran.
Zeke, Pascus, Remas, and Geraunt stood back behind their army, when Asears suddenly appeared with Gaara, Naruto, and Noir.
“Ahh, Noir, and Asears,” Geraunt started, “I’ve been expecting you two. Oh, and the kages of the two most powerful villages? That’s a nice perk. Are you four ready to die? Pascus, you fight the kazekage, Remas, you get that betraying angel, Zeke, destroy Asears, and I will kill the hokage myself!”
~~~Chapter 22: The Legends
Pascus charged at Gaara, but stopped and flew above him, revealing his demon wings. He put his hands on top of each other, his palms facing down on Gaara.
“Demon fire!” Pascus yelled, as dark blue flames spewed from his palms towards Gaara.
Gaara melted into the sand, dodging the blast, but the heat of the flames turned the sand into glass, which is useless to Gaara, so he had to get above ground as soon as possible.
“Haha!” laughed Pascus, “It seems that you have a weakness to flames!”
Gaara was angry now. He lifted giant hands of sand out of the ground all around Pascus, lashing and grabbing for him, but Pascus’s demonic wings easily lifted him far out of the sand’s reach.
“Molten hands!” yelled Pascus, as his hands seemed to melt into lava like substance, “Now all your sand will be melted into glass!”
But, it seemed that his were more than just mere lava weapon; his hands deformed into his wrists and lava began to spew out at Gaara, chasing him as he rode his sand around Pascus.
“Sand tsunami!”
The sand behind Gaara lifted into the air and crashed down onto Pascus. But, sadly, Pascus was to prepared to even be touched by the sand. With a blast of lava, he turned the entire wall of sand into glass.
“Kukukuku…” hissed a pale man walking from the village, “Gaara-kun, I thought you were better than this? Oh well, I brought someone who can help, go back to the village, the people need you, I’ll take over here.”
“Hiii~~~!!” chirped Shibo, popping out from behind Orochimaru, “Conaico summoned me and asked for my help!”
“Shall we, Shibo?”
“Let’s go, Conaico!”
Shibo began to throw up her stomach acid at Pascus, who simply countered it with lava. When the two blasts settled down, he wasn’t ready to find Orochimaru in front of him, his grass blade sword at the ready.
“Say hello to that damned Jiraiya for me,” Orochimaru hissed, before slashing Pascus’s body in half.
“Heheheh…” Pascus chuckled as his body fell to the ground, “Molten… full body…”
Suddenly, Pascus’s body melted into a pool of lava, spanning wide on the sand. His upped body sprouted from a pillar of lava, molten liquid dripping from every part of him.
“Kukukuku…” Orochimaru hissed, “As expected of a demon… My turn to show off… Reanimation Jutsu!”
Orochimaru slammed his palm into the sand and two coffins burst from the ground. The lids fell and banged onto the ground. Out of the first, an old man with olive and red colored sage’s clothing and long white hair, out of the second, a female with a blue pants and a tan top with blonde hair in a pony tail and a small black diamond on her forehead…
“Prepare to die…” hissed Orochimaru with a sadistic smile on his face.
~~~Chapter 22: Toad, Snake, and Slug
“Hahaha!!” heartedly laughed Jiraiya, “We’re alive!”
“Orochimaru?” Tsunade said, glancing behind them in surprise.
“He’s on our side now!” yelled Gaara, as he headed back to his village.
With that, Orochimaru launched snakes out of his sleeves. They bit the revealed part of Pascus’s body and flung him into the ground.
“Heaven kick of pain!” Tsunade yelled as she brought her foot down onto Pascus’s head, making him rebound into the air.
“Rasengan!” Jiraiya yelled, thrusting the swirling ball of chakra into Pascus.
Pascus spiraled in a mound of sand, but he still wasn’t done. A hole went straight through his heart, and lava was dripping out of it.
“You think I’m done?!” Pascus yelled in rage, “Let me show my true power!”
Pascus slammed his palm into the sand, and a fissure cracked open. Sand flowed into lava from the center of the earth.
“Now! Come forth! Lava Golem! Lend me your power!”
Suddenly the lava gushed from the pit, forming arms that slammed into the ground beside it. The monster grabbed Pascus and swallowed him whole.
“Hahaha!! This is my true power!” yelled Pascus from within the golem.
“Hmhm… you ready, Orochimaru, Tsunade?”
“SUMMONING!” the three yelled at once.
“Gamabunta!”
“Katsuya!”
“Manda!”
The three beasts came forth. Orochimaru on the giant snake, Manda; Jiraiya on the giant toad, Gamabunta; Tsunade on the giant slug, Katsuya.
“Here we go!” Jiraiya yelled with confidence.
Gamabunta shot a huge bullet of water from his mouth, turning the lava golem into molten rock; steam filled the air. Manda slithered in and bit the rock, scattering it into small black shards. Katsuya spit acid, melting every last piece of Pascus. He wasn’t coming back this time.
The three legends and Shibo retreated back to the village to help with the seemingly endless hoard of demons.
Zeke transformed into his monstrous form, his shirt ripping and his eyes going white. He tried to slam his fist onto Asears, his fist suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to his head, which is when he punched himself in the head.
“Brute force won’t work on moi,” Asears said confidently, “let me show you my ability!”
Asears started to disappear and reappear every where around Zeke, punching and kicking him constantly. But Zeke suddenly grabbed his leg before he could jump back into another dimension. Zeke pulled him back out and slammed him into the sand.
“I see that you are better than you look,” Asears said, standing up and dusting himself off, “but… I’m sorry; your moves still aren’t enough to beat moi!”
~~~Chapter 23: Dimensional Demon
Zeke wasn’t harmed by the punches and kicks of Asears, whom was mainly a hit and run type of fighter. It was easy for Zeke to eventually grab Asears again and begin to mercilessly pound him into the ground, but he did get away eventually.
“Hmhm,” chuckled Asears confidently, “you have not seen my true abilities yet!”
Asears appeared under Zeke, tossing him into the air, where Asears quickly appeared as well. Asears began to kick and punch Zeke in different directions through the air, appeared just where Zeke was heading to send him flying the other way.
When Zeke fell into the sand, Asears appeared next to him and held up his palm. A ring appeared and expanded, a dimensional portal in the middle. Suddenly, flames burst from the hole and onto Zeke.
“These are the flames of hell.”
“Burn! Burn! Stop! Stop!”
Zeke stood up, some of him still lit, and he slammed his fists into Asears, slamming him into the ground. He then began to rapidly beat him into the ground with his fists, making Asears’s body bounce off the sand and into the air before Zeke pounded it back down again.
Asears disappeared, and rested inside another dimension. Once he caught his breathe, he appeared before Zeke, a confident smile on his face.
“Are you ready!” yelled Asears, flying into the sky.
A giant ring of symbols opened into a giant portal. On the other side, stars could be seen; space. Suddenly, meteors began to rain down onto Zeke.
“Puny stones? Not a chance! Not a chance!” he chanted.
Zeke simply charged in head first, pounding each meteor into pebbles. Zeke was soon above Asears. Zeke fell on top of Asears, sending them both plummeting into the sand. When they hit, Zeke bounced onto his feet as Asears’s body rebounded off the sand, surrounded by his own blood.
“Ugh!” Asears grunted as he stumbled to his feet, “It’s time for me to show you my big finale!”
Asears charged both of his fists into Zeke’s gut, launching him into the air. Asears was suddenly ahead of him, floating next to a circle bigger than all the others.
Suddenly, a huge flaming meteor came out of the dimensional gate, ramming into Zeke, sending him flying into the ground, with the boulder on top of him.
“Humph!” said Asears “Get out of that!”
~~~Chapter 24: Angel slayer
Zeke’s huge body lay lifeless under the meteor for only a moment, before he lifted the comet off of himself. He roared at the top of his lungs before jumping into the air and grabbing Asears; he then threw him down into the sand, sending sand flying into the air.
“Hm…” Asears said, “I don’t think moi will be enough to beat him…”
Suddenly, a wolf with a man wearing a brown coat, an olive shirt, and tan pants; with ball and chains attached to his feet. The wolf flew through the air at Zeke, and the man suddenly jumped off and slammed the ball and chain on his right foot into Zeke, along with a downwards kick that sent Zeke flying into the ground.
The man slammed into the ground, squatting to brace himself before standing and dusting off his clothes.
“I was getting bored,” he said, “so I came to help!”
Hunter jumped over Zeke and came down, rapidly stomping his face into his own body, mangling it and sending blood everywhere. Zeke grabbed one of the ball and chains, but it suddenly froze over, freezing his entire arm. Hunter slammed his other ball and chain into his chilled arm, smashing the ice to pieces.
“AAARRRGH!!!!” Zeke yelled, as blood spewed from his missing limb.
Hunter then kicked straight up into Zeke’s gut, lifting him onto his foot. He slammed Zeke into the ground and slammed his frozen ball and chain into Zeke’s stomach, freezing his entire body.
“Now then, break to pieces!”
Hunter brought his foot down onto Zeke’s frozen body, making it shatter into tiny shards of ice. The shards sparkled in the sun light as the heat of the dessert melted the last traces of Zeke away.
“Huh…” Asears said in awe, “you are obviously stronger than moi! Thank you for your help, Hunter.”
“No problem, I was getting bored in Konoha anyway,” he replied with a smug smile on his face.
Remas swung his sword vertically, sending two shockwaves at Noir, but Noir wasn’t one to be taken lightly. He simply blasted the shockwaves with his red rays he was known for.
“You were always behind me on the ladder, Remas, just give up!”
“No! I won’t, you angelic bastard! I won’t come in second to an angel!”
Remas suddenly appeared before Noir, catching him by surprise. Remas slashed Noir across the chest, sending him into the sand.
“I’m an angel, mere wounds won’t hurt me!” Noir yelled, trying to heal his own wound instantly.
“Not this time, Noir, this sword is an angel slayer!” Remas yelled, “Even with your amazing healing abilities, you’ll still bleed endlessly!”
A sadistic smile found refuge on Remas’s face as he dashed towards Noir.
A man with black hair and red eyes sat against a wall of ground, under the cemetery where Noir and the others had fought. His white fangs glinted from the dancing fire of a single black candle. A tall man with purple hair down his back and sagging jeans with a rose in his hand sat on the other side of the cave.
“So… that strange dude is gone, huh?” asked the one with fangs.
“But of course!” answered the other, “Moi, Asears, have checked over ten times now.”
“Cut the accent, Asears.”
“But, Yokaigen, it’s a natural accent!”
“Retard…”
“UNFORGIVABLE! YOU DARE TO CALL MOI A ‘RETARD’?!”
“Shut-up already. You’re lucky, you’re the only demon I haven’t slain so far, so consider your self lucky!”
“Lucky!? I am more than capable of destroying you and banishing you to the pits of the netherworld!”
With that, Asears disappeared, a few small glowing balls of energy floating where he had stood. Yokaigen got up and kicked a bone aside. He jumped out of the hole created by Noir’s merciless rampage; Asears was already there.
“Stop jumping through dimensions,” remarked Yokaigen.
“No, it is just simply too easy.”
“Humph…”
“So, where are we going now?”
“If I told you then you would just take passage in another dimension.”
“Yup.”
Yokaigen looked extremely irritated as they walked into the forest, heading south.
The next morning in Konoha, Naruto was awoken by a guard rushing into his room… Hinata was already and getting dressed. She shrieked and kicked him the balls, throwing him into the wall in the hall.
Naruto paused, a scared look on his face, forcing a fake smile to try to hide the fear.
Once Naruto was ready, he walked out of the room and started poking the pile of guards outside their room. By now more guards had come. Just then, another guard came, and, without noticing Naruto, tried to go in their room.
“If you value your manhood, I would just tell me what you have to say,” remark Naruto, “but sadly, these are never gonna have kids.
“Naruto-sama,” said the guard, backing away from the door, “it seems that two men have infiltrated the village… well, actually, they didn’t have an I.D. and held a gun to the guards head to get in.”
Suddenly, Asears appeared in the hall next to the guard, “Do you know wher- Oh, there you are!”
“That’s one of them!” yelled the guard, already making a run for it.
“Do not worry, Yokaigen and moi only wish to speak to you.”
~~~Chapter 19: Descendent of Hell
Soon enough, Yokaigen, Asears, Naruto, and Hinata were gathered in Naruto’s office.
“Where is this Neji I’ve heard of?” asked Yokaigen.
“You probably don’t want to know,” answered Naruto, “besides, my wife, Hinata Hyuuga, is subbing for him.”
“What a beautiful woman,” said Asears, suddenly on his knee in front of Hinata, grabbing her hand, “may I ask for your name, mademoiselle?”
Hinata, in surprise, went for all men’s weak spot, but Asears was suddenly only half a body.
“Ho ho ho! You are well prepared I see! But those tactics will not work on me!”
Hinata shrieked.
“But I’ll pay you to do to Yokaigen,” Asears whispered in her ear before reappearing on the other side of the room, waving at Hinata.
“…” Naruto was already pretty mad at this guy, “Whatever, just tell me what you came here for.”
“We have information about the man who has been behind the recent attacks,” started Yokaigen, “Geraunt, a man from the very pits of hell.”
“You see,” interrupted Asears, “Geraunt conquered the netherworld, but his lust for power led him to this world, and now he wants it, too.”
“Apparently, he lives in the church to the north,” said Yokaigen, “there is a dimensional rift underneath the church.”
“How did that get there?” asked Naruto.
“Well… actually,” started Asears, “he convinced me to do it. But now I wish to atone for my sins by helping to defeat him.”
“Wait, you said he wants to take over this whole world? Doesn’t that mean that he is planning on attacking more than just us?”
“Yes, in fact, we’ve found out just recently that he is planning on attacking the sand soon enough. He’s already destroyed the sound, grass, and waterfall, or at least what’s left of those puny civilizations.”
“Wait, the sound?”
“Yes… Orochimaru’s back.” Said Yokaigen, “Apparently, he revived from Sasuke’s curse mark before he returned to the village and killed off all of Sasuke’s followers, also, we’ve heard that after he was defeated, he and Kabuto, whom he also revived, are rogues, traveling trying to find to find refuge.”
“Refuge? Orochimaru?”
“Yes, he has changed. I think that you may be able to use him to your advantage. We heard that he is heading for the sand to warn of Geraunt’s attack as we speak.”
“Heh… well, now we have another reason for going to the sand…” muttered Naruto, “Asears, I understand that you can travel through dimensions, is it possible for you to transport a large group of people?”
“Yes, but I’ll need a few scrolls,” answered Asears.”
“We’ll provide those, just get us to the sand by tomorrow.”
“Fine.”
The rest of the day was filled with preparation. Asears’s scrolls were made, and ninja were selected to go to the sand. Naruto, Kamizo, Kimimaro, Itachi, Sasuke, whom had already been punished for not telling of Orochimaru’s return, Chihiro, and Noir. Everyone else was to stay and protect the village. Of course, Asears and Yokaigen were going as well.
The next morning, the ninja that were going to the sand were gathered inside of a circle surrounded by scrolls. Asears focused all of his chakra, and two huge devil’s wings wrapped around everyone, and they disappeared, leaving the village to the ninjas that were left behind.
~~~Chapter 20: Bad news
The group found themselves inside another dimension. Asears stood nearby, holding a door.
“Ladies first,” he said, motioning for the others to go first.
The group found themselves in front of the kazekage mansion. Gaara was staring out a window, wondering how they had suddenly all appeared.
“Well, well,” hissed a familiar voice, “you all got here before me. Long time no see, Asears, Yokaigen.”
There stood Orochimaru and Kabuto. But there was a new face as well. A girl in a blue kimono with two katanas sheathed on her back. A wolf stood by her.
“This is Nami Kaguya, and her wolf, and Ronto,” said Kabuto.
“Wha-what?!” stuttered Kimimaro when he heard the name.
“Onee-san?” asked Nami.
Kimimaro was hugging her instantly.
“Kimimaro…” started Kamizo, “you have a little sister?”
“I thought she was dead, but I guess not!”
After Kimimaro and Nami were caught up, Nami requested that Asears bring Komacki, since she had met him when Orochimaru had. In only a moment, the entire cycle that Kimimaro had gone through was gone through by Komacki.
When they finally got inside the kazekage mansion, Gaara and Rutsu were waiting for them.
“Gaara,” said Orochimaru, trying to hide a hateful tone, “Geraunt, the demon behind the attacks on Konoha is coming here. He’ll probably be here tomorrow night.”
“Thanks,” replied Gaara.
“So, Orochimaru,” started Kimimaro, “are you on our side now?”
“But of course,” Orochimaru replied, “I don’t have anything left; do you really expect me not to be on your side now?”
Asears was already on his knees at Rutsu’s feet.
“Mademoiselle,” he said, as he tried to grab her hand.
Gaara crushed his hand.
“We’re here to help, and we have a score to settle with Geraunt,” said Naruto, staring at Asears broken hand as Chihiro and Noir worked to heal it.
“As long as this ‘Asears’ stays away from Rutsu.”
“Yes sir, you can trust moi!”
“Yeah right!” yelled Naruto.
Later that night, Noir and Chihiro sat on a bench outside.
“Noir…”
“Yes?”
“What’s heaven like?”
“It’s a wonderful place, covered in beautiful flowers and temples.”
“Huh…”
“Yes…”
Suddenly, Chihiro embraced Noir, and the rest of the night went off of that…
The next morning, Asears had some distilling news.
“I checked last night, Geraunt is going to be by noon.”
~~~Chapter 21: Geraunt’s army
Clouds shrouded the sun, but the sun shone through onto the sands of the dessert. A man in an olive trench coat with black hair down his back and black jeans; a devils tail behind him. His eyes glared red, and his right arm was a dark red, a glowing white line went up his arm, starting at a circle on the back of his hand
“Today, we take the sand village!” Geraunt yelled, holding his hands above his head and facing his army.
The warriors were all devils, generally wearing black jeans, no shirt, and pitchforks, axes, and swords in hand. Their eyes all gleamed deep red, and their hair ranged from deep black all the way to dark red. Zeke stood next to Geraunt, smiling sadistically.
“Boss! Boss! We Destroy!” Zeke chanted in his childish voice.
A demon with a large sword, covered in red markings, and a red over coat and white hair stood next to Geraunt as well.
“Remas,” Geraunt said to the demon, “are we ready?”
“Yeah, I guess,” he replied, “Pascus, you ready?”
Pascus, a demon wearing fancy black clothes and black hair that went back much like Sasuke’s and red tipped at the end.
“Yeah, let’s go,” he grunted.
With that, Geraunt lifted his hand so that his palm was facing the sand. Suddenly a black beam lashed out, hitting the southern entrance to the village, opening their path.
“Well then… attack!” Geraunt yelled, pointing his finger directly at the kazekage mansion.
The impact shook the village.
“Their here!” yelled Asears, suddenly appearing.
“Asears,” Naruto started, “take Noir, Gaara, and I to the back of their lines, we’ll take care of their leaders. Kimimaro, you and Komacki are in charge of defending the village from that massive army. Let’s go!”
Asears wrapped his wings around the four of them, and they instantly disappeared, leaving Chihiro, Nami, Komacki, Kimimaro, Orochimaru, Kabuto, Yokaigen, Itachi, Rutsu, and Sasuke to defend against the army.
The group left behind dashed towards the destroyed entrance, where the demons were already flooding in. The Kaguya sibling all brought out there bones, ready to fight. Itachi, Chihiro, and Sasuke activated their strongest sharingans. Kabuto prepared his chakra scalpels, and Yokaigen loaded his guns full of massive rounds. Rutsu and Orochimaru began charging their chakra as they ran.
Zeke, Pascus, Remas, and Geraunt stood back behind their army, when Asears suddenly appeared with Gaara, Naruto, and Noir.
“Ahh, Noir, and Asears,” Geraunt started, “I’ve been expecting you two. Oh, and the kages of the two most powerful villages? That’s a nice perk. Are you four ready to die? Pascus, you fight the kazekage, Remas, you get that betraying angel, Zeke, destroy Asears, and I will kill the hokage myself!”
~~~Chapter 22: The Legends
Pascus charged at Gaara, but stopped and flew above him, revealing his demon wings. He put his hands on top of each other, his palms facing down on Gaara.
“Demon fire!” Pascus yelled, as dark blue flames spewed from his palms towards Gaara.
Gaara melted into the sand, dodging the blast, but the heat of the flames turned the sand into glass, which is useless to Gaara, so he had to get above ground as soon as possible.
“Haha!” laughed Pascus, “It seems that you have a weakness to flames!”
Gaara was angry now. He lifted giant hands of sand out of the ground all around Pascus, lashing and grabbing for him, but Pascus’s demonic wings easily lifted him far out of the sand’s reach.
“Molten hands!” yelled Pascus, as his hands seemed to melt into lava like substance, “Now all your sand will be melted into glass!”
But, it seemed that his were more than just mere lava weapon; his hands deformed into his wrists and lava began to spew out at Gaara, chasing him as he rode his sand around Pascus.
“Sand tsunami!”
The sand behind Gaara lifted into the air and crashed down onto Pascus. But, sadly, Pascus was to prepared to even be touched by the sand. With a blast of lava, he turned the entire wall of sand into glass.
“Kukukuku…” hissed a pale man walking from the village, “Gaara-kun, I thought you were better than this? Oh well, I brought someone who can help, go back to the village, the people need you, I’ll take over here.”
“Hiii~~~!!” chirped Shibo, popping out from behind Orochimaru, “Conaico summoned me and asked for my help!”
“Shall we, Shibo?”
“Let’s go, Conaico!”
Shibo began to throw up her stomach acid at Pascus, who simply countered it with lava. When the two blasts settled down, he wasn’t ready to find Orochimaru in front of him, his grass blade sword at the ready.
“Say hello to that damned Jiraiya for me,” Orochimaru hissed, before slashing Pascus’s body in half.
“Heheheh…” Pascus chuckled as his body fell to the ground, “Molten… full body…”
Suddenly, Pascus’s body melted into a pool of lava, spanning wide on the sand. His upped body sprouted from a pillar of lava, molten liquid dripping from every part of him.
“Kukukuku…” Orochimaru hissed, “As expected of a demon… My turn to show off… Reanimation Jutsu!”
Orochimaru slammed his palm into the sand and two coffins burst from the ground. The lids fell and banged onto the ground. Out of the first, an old man with olive and red colored sage’s clothing and long white hair, out of the second, a female with a blue pants and a tan top with blonde hair in a pony tail and a small black diamond on her forehead…
“Prepare to die…” hissed Orochimaru with a sadistic smile on his face.
~~~Chapter 22: Toad, Snake, and Slug
“Hahaha!!” heartedly laughed Jiraiya, “We’re alive!”
“Orochimaru?” Tsunade said, glancing behind them in surprise.
“He’s on our side now!” yelled Gaara, as he headed back to his village.
With that, Orochimaru launched snakes out of his sleeves. They bit the revealed part of Pascus’s body and flung him into the ground.
“Heaven kick of pain!” Tsunade yelled as she brought her foot down onto Pascus’s head, making him rebound into the air.
“Rasengan!” Jiraiya yelled, thrusting the swirling ball of chakra into Pascus.
Pascus spiraled in a mound of sand, but he still wasn’t done. A hole went straight through his heart, and lava was dripping out of it.
“You think I’m done?!” Pascus yelled in rage, “Let me show my true power!”
Pascus slammed his palm into the sand, and a fissure cracked open. Sand flowed into lava from the center of the earth.
“Now! Come forth! Lava Golem! Lend me your power!”
Suddenly the lava gushed from the pit, forming arms that slammed into the ground beside it. The monster grabbed Pascus and swallowed him whole.
“Hahaha!! This is my true power!” yelled Pascus from within the golem.
“Hmhm… you ready, Orochimaru, Tsunade?”
“SUMMONING!” the three yelled at once.
“Gamabunta!”
“Katsuya!”
“Manda!”
The three beasts came forth. Orochimaru on the giant snake, Manda; Jiraiya on the giant toad, Gamabunta; Tsunade on the giant slug, Katsuya.
“Here we go!” Jiraiya yelled with confidence.
Gamabunta shot a huge bullet of water from his mouth, turning the lava golem into molten rock; steam filled the air. Manda slithered in and bit the rock, scattering it into small black shards. Katsuya spit acid, melting every last piece of Pascus. He wasn’t coming back this time.
The three legends and Shibo retreated back to the village to help with the seemingly endless hoard of demons.
Zeke transformed into his monstrous form, his shirt ripping and his eyes going white. He tried to slam his fist onto Asears, his fist suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to his head, which is when he punched himself in the head.
“Brute force won’t work on moi,” Asears said confidently, “let me show you my ability!”

“Burn! Burn! Stop! Stop!”
Zeke stood up, some of him still lit, and he slammed his fists into Asears, slamming him into the ground. He then began to rapidly beat him into the ground with his fists, making Asears’s body bounce off the sand and into the air before Zeke pounded it back down again.
Asears disappeared, and rested inside another dimension. Once he caught his breathe, he appeared before Zeke, a confident smile on his face.

The New Era~~~ Chapter 17
~~~Chapter 17: Love in the Sand
Noir, Rutsu, Hinata, Gaara, and Neji walked into the lobby of the hospital; Chihiro was there to greet them.
“Well, we’d love to stay, but I need Rutsu for something,” muttered Gaara.
With that, the couple left, leaving everyone guessing about what they were up to.
Gaara was blushing as he dragged Rutsu behind the building and concealed them in a room of sand. Both there hearts raced as Gaara got down on his knees. A ring boxed slowly emerged from a small pillar of sand that rose to Rutsu’s waist. A hand of sand opened it and fell back into the sand.
“Rutsu Yoshinoto, will you have me?” asked Gaara, his head held up and hesitating between words.
Rutsu paused and tears of joy began to slowly drip from her face, and she replied, “Yes!”
Back inside the hospital, Neji was put in a bed next to the one Maiko was asleep in.
“Jeez, Hinata, what did you do to him?” asked Chihiro, peeking under Neji’s blankets.
“I think you know,” replied Hinata.
“Wow,” sighed Noir, looking at the scar on Maika’s stomach, since her covered had been tossed around and her limbs were sprawled out all over the bed, “you healed that wound so quickly, but not completely… here, let me.”
Noir waved his hand slowly over her stomach, a red light coming from his palm. The scar disappeared.
Chihiro looked up at Noir in amazement. Noir turned and smiled at her and she quickly turned away, her face glowing red. Just then, Maika sprang out of her bed screaming and falling onto the floor.
“You! You! It’s you!” she yelled, pointing a trembling finger at Noir.
Noir quickly backed away as Chihiro calmed her down and explained the situation.
“O-oh…” stammered Maika, “so, Chihiro-san and you healed me…”
“Oh, don’t say ‘san’,” demanded Chihiro, “I’m taking you in, you don’t have to address me like that!”
Neji was instantly up by some miracle. He began to tear the idea to shreds, but Hinata repeated her actions.
“Now he’s got two weeks,” she said.
“Holy shit! Hinata, he’s my top advisor!” screamed Naruto, skidding into the room, “Oh, and I trust you are Noir? Rutsu and Gaara stopped by to tell me what happened before they headed back for the sand village… that reminds, those are apparently getting married.”
“MARRIED!?” they all screamed, all in cheer, surprise, and fear.
“Yup, and we’re all invited to the wedding in the sand village next week,” Naruto finished.
“So… um, Noir, do you have a place to stay?” asked Naruto.
“No… Naruto, was it?”
“Yeah… well then, Chihiro! You are to let him stay with you!”
Chihiro shrieked with fanatic glee before falling over, out cold.
“Umm… ok… Noir, would you carry her to her home? It’s the large house next door.”
“Yes, I would be glad to,” replied Noir, picking up Maika and Chihiro with ease.
Noir, Rutsu, Hinata, Gaara, and Neji walked into the lobby of the hospital; Chihiro was there to greet them.
“Well, we’d love to stay, but I need Rutsu for something,” muttered Gaara.
With that, the couple left, leaving everyone guessing about what they were up to.

“Wow,” sighed Noir, looking at the scar on Maika’s stomach, since her covered had been tossed around and her limbs were sprawled out all over the bed, “you healed that wound so quickly, but not completely… here, let me.”
Noir waved his hand slowly over her stomach, a red light coming from his palm. The scar disappeared.
Chihiro looked up at Noir in amazement. Noir turned and smiled at her and she quickly turned away, her face glowing red. Just then, Maika sprang out of her bed screaming and falling onto the floor.
“You! You! It’s you!” she yelled, pointing a trembling finger at Noir.
Noir quickly backed away as Chihiro calmed her down and explained the situation.
“O-oh…” stammered Maika, “so, Chihiro-san and you healed me…”
“Oh, don’t say ‘san’,” demanded Chihiro, “I’m taking you in, you don’t have to address me like that!”
Neji was instantly up by some miracle. He began to tear the idea to shreds, but Hinata repeated her actions.
“Now he’s got two weeks,” she said.
“Holy shit! Hinata, he’s my top advisor!” screamed Naruto, skidding into the room, “Oh, and I trust you are Noir? Rutsu and Gaara stopped by to tell me what happened before they headed back for the sand village… that reminds, those are apparently getting married.”
“MARRIED!?” they all screamed, all in cheer, surprise, and fear.
“Yup, and we’re all invited to the wedding in the sand village next week,” Naruto finished.
“So… um, Noir, do you have a place to stay?” asked Naruto.
“No… Naruto, was it?”
“Yeah… well then, Chihiro! You are to let him stay with you!”
Chihiro shrieked with fanatic glee before falling over, out cold.
“Umm… ok… Noir, would you carry her to her home? It’s the large house next door.”
“Yes, I would be glad to,” replied Noir, picking up Maika and Chihiro with ease.

The New Era~~~ Chapter 16
~~~Chapter 16: Fallen Angel
Neji and Hinata dashed towards Noir, who had lowered himself to their level. But their Hyuuga style taijutsu wasn’t strong enough. Noir easily blocked, since, being an angel, he had no need for chakra.
“It seems that you can block my attacks, but you are unable to harm me,” remarked Noir.
“You forget,” remarked Neji back, “we’re not the only ones here!”
Neji hit Noir, and Noir did block it, but it knocked him back a little. Suddenly, Gaara flew out from behind Neji on a wave of sand. Neji quickly disappeared as the torrid of sand crashed into Noir.
But Noir created a red barrier around himself. Once the, sand settled, Noir dropped his shield, but it was a mistake. Rutsu instantly flew out of the sand and began to mercilessly attack Noir, but Noir’s defensive skills were far too great.
“Who are you fighting for?” asked Rutsu, as she continued her barrage.
“My lord!” Noir replied.
Rutsu, Neji, Gaara, and Hinata were taken back; they all jumped back away from Noir.
“Your lord?” asked Neji, “Humph, there is no lord, only destiny!”
“Tell us, this ‘lord’, how did he become your lord?” asked Hinata, as she kicked Neji in his… special chakra point.
“If that is your dying wish, I will tell you,” started Noir, “I indeed once served over that old man in the heavens, but one day, he sent me to earth… I was cold and alone, and then my new lord took me in, he showed me how to care for myself, and he showed me his power.”
“Wait, this ‘power’ was anything like this?” asking Rutsu, performing a simple clone jutsu.
Noir was taken back, “Ye-yes… but how?”
“He is no god, only a ninja like us!” explained Rutsu, “He’s evil Noir!”
“N-no!” Noir yelled.
Noir fell to the ground on his knees, trembling. He grasped the sides of his head as sweat slowly dripped from him.
“Noir…” sighed Hinata, “Come to Konoha! We can help you! And you can help defeat this man that calls himself a ‘god’!”
“Huh?”
“People in Konoha can help you!”
Noir trembled as he stood and whipped the sweat off of his forehead and said, “Yes… I believe that that should be my new path… there can be only one god, and if one man who can only do what any of you ‘ninja’ can do calls himself a god, than he should be eliminated!”
As Gaara and Noir went ahead, Hinata and Rutsu got Neji up, who continually moaned all the way back to Konoha.
“Will he be alright?” asked Rutsu.
“He just won’t be able to go to the restroom for a few days,” replied Hinata, smiling.
Rutsu grimaced and got as far from Hinata as Neji’s arms would stretch… which only made Neji moan more…

Large update
Chapters go mixed up so...
chapter 12
Eeda danced around Lee and Hiruma, slicing them up severely. Hiruma, however, was also a skilled swordsman. His abilities were known throughout the world. He picked up two swords and cut Eeda across the chest. Eeda held his chest up, but instead of yelping in pain, he started to laugh evilly, sipping his own blood from the palm of his hand.“Even my own blood... will not go to waste!” he said in a maniacal voice.“This guy’s sick!” exclaimed Lee, jumping back next to Hiruma.“Well then, let’s give him a wake up call!” responded Hiruma.He picked up another two swords. twirling them both in each hand before grasping them and charging at Eeda. Eeda let his hand go down, the blood flowing from his chest splattering to the ground. He picked up his own sword and charged at Hiruma as well. The clash of their swords could be heard throughout Konoha, waking up the city.Eeda and Hiruma smiled as they both got caught up in the excitement of their battle.Meanwhile, somewhere in the Hokage’s mansion...“Stop it!” whined Hannah as Kugai chased her through the mansion.“No!” he yelled back.Suddenly, Hannah bumped into a tall man with white hair to his shoulders and a black trench coat, a sheath full of katana at his side.“Who’re you? And what are you doing in our dads mansion?” asked Hannah.“Oh, so you’re the Hokage’s children?” he replied, “well, I, Don Hano, will be the one to assinate you and your family!”“Not on our watch!” said Kugai and Hannah, suddenly jumping back and pulled out their weapons.Kugai grasped his white mallet tightly, and Hannah held a dagger in her right hand. Don quickly scattered his katana around the room, just as Hiruma had with Eeda. He picked up two swords and glared at Kugai and Hannah before charging at the young ninja.The children of the Hokage disappeared and reappeared behind him, ready to attack. Looking back in surprise, the children took Kugai mallet and hit him in the head, knokcing him out.“Well... that was easy,”remarked Kugai.“Want to take him to Dad?” asked Hannah.Kugai simply nodding; and the two began to drag him to their father’s office.The battle between Eeda and Hiruma waged on as Lee simply sat back and watched in awe at their sword skills. Hiruma was the first to make a strike. He sword came up from below Eeda, scarring him on the face. The insane Eeda would’ve laughed it off, but this one simply fell to the floor, and stopped breathing. With that, Hiruma and Lee carried Eeda off to the hospital for treatment.Eeda woke up the next day with Itaru, Rima, and Kamizo at his bedside. He couldn’t recall what had happened to him throughout the period of the last two days, but he did know that his chest and face were in minor pain, stinging a bit when he moved.“Dad! You’re alright!” Itaru exclaimed, hugging him.“Ye-yeah... I guess so...”So... that idiot was captured?“ asked the man sitting in the chair in the abandoned chapel.”Yes, my lord, but I will still make you god!“ said a tall man dressed in a white cloak that had a red cross going down it’s front.”I know, you are my most faithful.“”Thank you, my lord!“
~~~Chapter 13: Red Cross
The man with the red cross on the front of his robe stood balanced on a tower at the edge of Konoha, the wind whispering silently in the night. Two feathered wings spread behind him as he lifts his arms. He thrust them up and a ray of red light burst into the sky.
Hundreds of thinner rays hit the village, destroying homes and buildings. Yuzu and Rima were walking along the road as the beams began to rain down upon them. Yuzu, quick to protect Rima, spun around at high speeds, creating a barrier of sorts around them, barely stopping the beams.
“What was that?” asked Rima, trembling of fear.
“I don’t know, but it did a number to the village,” responded Yuzu.
The angel examined his work, staring delighted at the fires that illuminated his face. He grinned devilishly at his accomplishment, before he jumped into the air and disappeared.
The next day, the village held a short and sweet ceremony for those who were lost. The rest of the day was filled with the task of finding a place for the survivors who had lost their belongings to the red rays.
Later, in Naruto’s Office, Rima and Yuzu, being the ones that had actually been awake (without permission) to be fully involved were being given the mission of finding the one who did this.
“Yuzu, Rima, this is obviously a person with the utmost highest abilities,” explained Naruto, “so I want the two of you to go and investigate.”
“Yuzu and I understand, but what are we supposed to go off of? We don’t know anything about this!”
“Rima, that’s where you’re wrong, A small group of civilians saw a man jump into the air, heading to the north, and people have reported a suspicious man that sleeps standing in front of a cross alter in a graveyard just a few hours to the north. I think that he might be the one. Go and ask him some questions, but if you can, bring him in alive.”
Rima and Yuzu both nodded with respect and walked quickly out of the room, accidentally bumping into a tall man with red hair accompanied by a girl with light brown hair with red ends.
Gaara and Rutsu walked in after the two children ran out, and were greeted by just two words. Follow them.
The man with the red cross stood in front of an alter, smiling.
“Lord, soon to be god, I will show you that am worthy of your side. I will crush those who oppose you!”
~~~Chapter 14: Hachibi; The Eight Tailed Beast!
Gaara and Rutsu easily caught up with Yuzu and Rima; quickly explaining, Gaara and Rutsu dashed through the trees with them. Their current destination was Okad Graveyard, and they were now nearing it.
Yuzu, Rima, Gaara, and Rutsu landed in front of a large rusted gate, with a cross in the middle, imprinted into the metal.
“This is it,” said Gaara, “that man is here.”
Sand from the gourd on Gaara’s back pushed opened the gates, and the group walked in, a little to off guard.
“Welcome,” said a large voice, “to your death!”
The huge gate slammed shut, and the same red rays that had torn through Konoha began to rain down on the shinobi. But Yuzu was quick to protect his companions, Rima in particular.
“Rotation!” he cried out, spinning as he creating a barrier around them.
“So… you’re the one that stopped that one, are you?” the voice asked, now curious.
Out of nowhere, the angel appeared, white wings spread behind him.
“I am Noir,” he said, introducing himself, “your village has defied the desires of my god, and you will now be destroyed!”
A red aura emitted from Noir and spread swiftly through the area, engulfing Yuzu, Rima, Gaara, and Rutsu. When the glow disappeared, Yuzu and Rima were down, but Gaara and Rutsu stood, simply dusting themselves off.
“It’ll take more than that to defeat us!” declared Rutsu.
“Humph,” snorted Noir, “that wasn’t meant to take you to down, it was meant to remove that nuisance boy. He seems to be that only one that deflects my attacks!”
“We’ll entertain you,” said Gaara.
Rutsu cracked her knuckles in intimidation, and the earth cracked under her. Sand rose up from the ground all around Gaara. Noir simply examined his opponents.
But before the battle could commence…
“Hey!”
A girl with black hair and clothed in red, a sword in her hand, slammed down in front of Gaara and Rutsu. She stumbled a little before she could get her balance and lift her seemingly extremely heavy sword, trembling as she lifted it.
“Who are you?” asked Rutsu.
“Oh, I’m Maika, the Hachibi Jinchuriki!” Maika said smiling shyly.
“The eight tailed beast?” muttered Gaara in surprise.
“I know you!” Maika said suddenly, startling Gaara, “You’re Gaara, the kazekage; and that must mean that you’re Rutsu, the Kazekage’s lover… by the way, why aren’t you two married yet?”
Both Rutsu and Gaara nearly fainted.
“Oh yeah,” said Maika, “you’re the angel… Noir right? I know that you’re the one killed people with those red beams, and I’m here to stop you!”
~~~Chapter 14: The Sand and The Earth
Maika dashed towards Noir and jumped into the air, startling him. Nonetheless, Noir flew out of the way as Maika try to slice him in half. He stared as Maika spun around a few times from the momentum in her sword.
“Do you honestly think you can beat me?” asked Noir.
“I said I would, so I will!” replied Maika confidently.
But Noir wasn’t in the mood to play with this girl. He launched a beam from the tip of his finger that pierced Maika through the chest, and blood poured out of her as she fell to the ground.
By now, Yuzu and Rima were staggering to their feet.
“Take that girl to Chihiro, now!” demanded Gaara.
With that, Rima and Yuzu quickly lifted her onto their shoulders and dashed off towards Konoha, a trail of blood behind them.
“How could you?” asked Rutsu.
“The weak die and the strong survive,” answered Noir, “that is the word of my lord, and I will go by it!”
“Fine…” muttered Gaara, “we’ll play by your rules, we will show that we are stronger!”
Sand rose into the sky, lashing out at Noir. Noir easily dodged several attempts to grab him, but the sand eventually caught him by his right wing. It pulled him swiftly towards the ground, plunging him into a fissure created by Rutsu.
“Ready?” asked Gaara, reached for Rutsu’s hand.
“Yeah, let’s do it!” replied Rutsu, holding his.
Their chakra sparked around them, mixing. They both made a hand sign with their free hand.
“SAND AND EARTH STYLE: SAND FILLED ABYSS!” they yelled out.
More and more sand began to pour into the fissure, pushing Noir further and further down as he struggled to free himself. The fissure slammed shut, burying Noir underground.
“Is he dead?”
“No,” replied Gaara.
Gaara and Rutsu were almost out of chakra; they had used most of their’s to use that jutsu. But Noir didn’t die. Suddenly, a huge beam burst out of the ground where Noir was buried, splitting into thousands of smaller rays that rained down upon Gaara and Rutsu.
The two shinobi embraced each other, ready to die together.
“Rotation!”
A barrier, similar to Yuzu’s, but much stronger, appeared around to two of them.
“Humph, to think that you almost died,” remarked Neji, now standing in his fighting pose in front of them.
“Neji! Don’t be rude!” demanded Hinata as she walked up behind them, “They are obviously exhausted!”
Neji grunted and looked away from the fact that his cousin was correcting him.
“You two rest, we’ll handle this,” said Hinata, smiling at Rutsu and Gaara.
“Nah, we’re here to fight, too!” replied Gaara, helping Rutsu get her balance, “We’re not backing out yet.”
“Well then, let me at least do this,” said Hinata, as her she put her palms on their chests.
Gaara and Rutsu both felt fully restored instantly, and were ready to continue their offense. as the biggest beam began to fade away, Noir finally came into visibility, flying in the middle of the ray.“Ha!” he laughed, “No matter how many people you call upon, I will kill you! Even if they do have the same ability as that boy!
