A/N: As a little bit of a change-up, I'm taking on a challenge from another author on this site, Haseo55. I'm still working on my other stories, but for now, I wanted to try and take a crack at this one, since a concept similar to it had been bouncing around in my head for a few weeks (meaning months) now.

So, without further ado.

Prologue: Setting It All Straight.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

The sound of a pounding on the door drew the attention of the room's only occupant, namely a blonde-haired teenager, towards it, groaning as he stood from his crouching position. Walking over to the door, and ignoring the constantly growing pounding from the other side of the door, he reached said door and twisted the knob. Once it was open, the blonde was greeted by one of the many ANBU Special Operatives that served the village they were in, this one wearing a porcelain mask with a hawk-like visage on it.

"Yes." The blonde said, his tone rather clipped, showing that he was not happy being disturbed.

"Uzumaki Naruto, the Hokage and Elder's demand your immediate presence." The ANBU replied, the mask hiding any possible facial reaction he might have had towards seeing the blonde's face. For several moments, they stood in silence, before the blonde gave a sharp sigh, which gave the indication that it was out of annoyance.

"I'll be there in an hour." The now named Naruto replied, which caused the ANBU to tense at his words.

"I said immediate presence, so you'll be going now." The hawk-masked ANBU said, while reaching out to grab the blonde, most likely to forcibly pull him out of the room, and more than likely all the way to the meeting place. His actions, however, were halted by Naruto's own, namely in grabbing the ANBU's wrist and tightening his hold until the bones began to make a cracking noise.

"I'm currently on down time, so they're lucky I'm even showing up at all." Naruto growled out, his eyes giving off a small tint of red, thoroughly frightening the hawk-masked ANBU. "Now I said an hour…SO IT"LL BE ONE HOUR!" He shouted out, while thrusting his hand forward, sending the ANBU flying back to crash into the wall at the end of the hallway. Scoffing at the downed ninja, Naruto turned back into his apartment, before slamming the door shut.

Taking a calming breath, Naruto glanced around the place that he had used to call his home, or what was left it. Seeing the amount of damage that had been done, caused said blonde to groan internally, cursing the ignorance of the village that he had called "home" for all these years.

Remembering back to the source of this whole problem, Naruto recalled how just a scant three months ago that the entirety of the Elemental Countries had found themselves immersed in the Fourth Shinobi War. A megalomaniac by the of Tobi, who had been posing as the infamous Uchiha Madara, had enacted his long-term plans, plans that had been in the works for years, to create a consolidated world, with him on the throne. To accomplish this, he had created an organization by the name of the Akatsuki, where the sole mission of its members was the hunt down and capture the nine most powerful creatures on the continent, the Kyuu no Bijuu. His overall plan was, once he had gained possession of all nine beasts, to merge them back into the single entity that they had come from, and then, using their power, project the image of the Eien Mangekyou Sharingan onto the moon, thus enacting the "Moons-Eye Plan". This, hypothetically, would enable Tobi, who had then been revealed to be none other than the supposedly slain Uchiha Obito, to cast a perpetual Genjutsu over the entirety of the world, where he would reign as God of all.

However, his plans and calculations had all come to a grinding halt, thanks to the actions of one Uzumaki Naruto, who managed to defy his orders to remain on an isolated island so that Obito couldn't reach him, and joined the battle. Tapping into the recently liberated powers of the legendary beast inside of his body, namely the Kyuubi no Kitsune, Naruto was able to turn the tide of the battle, allowing the newly created Allied Shinobi forces to regroup and try to re-coordinate their plans to stop the true leader of the Akatsuki.

However, following the defeat of Uchiha Obito and the subsequent destruction of the large Zetsu Army that had been created by the rogue Uchiha's machination, things had shifted, and in some cases, it was not in a good way. The villages of Kumogakure no Sato, Iwagakure no Sato and Kirgakure no Sato had been extremely grateful for Naruto's assistance, though there were some fatalities on all sides of the fence, some of the more prominent being Kirabi, the Raikage's younger brother, and holder of the Hachibi no Kyogyu (Eight-Tailed Giant Ox), Kurotsuchi, the granddaughter of the Sandaime Tsuchikage, and Ao, personal attendant of the Godaime Mizukage.

Konoha and Suna, his supposed home and home-away-from-home, however, had taken a severe change for the worst for Naruto. After bringing the Uchiha back to Konoha, he had been assaulted by his own teammates for completing his mission and promise. Sakura? She had beaten…well, attempted to beat would be the proper thing to say to a pulp, but he was able to throw her off rather easily, much to her shock and anger. With Kakashi, he had done nothing more than glare at him with a rather visible level of anger for what he claimed to be Naruto's "audacity" for injuring his 'Obito Redemption project' while saying he was worse than trash. The term hypocrite seemed to fit right into this scenario rather well. As for the Uchiha in question, he had barely let Naruto have a moment's rest, since anytime that Naruto had to relax, Sasuke would barge in on him, demanding fights to try and regain his "Uchiha Honor".

Sai and Yamato? The former could care less about the Uchiha, but he had said that he should have handled it better. Maybe he should try fighting a life and death battle against the teme without trying to get stabbed and electrocuted. The latter had been the same as Sa1i, but he had just left him to his own, and giving our hero the cold shoulder without even so much as a backwards glance.

Team 10? Choji had insulted him and threatened bodily harm if he were to ever step foot in his office again. Ino had tried a Sakura and failed miserably at that, so she had tried relying on harsh words to get her point across. Shikamaru was like Yamato, just disappointed on how reckless Naruto had been in handling the mission at the time. Ha, lazy bastard, let's see you try a hand at fighting Sasuke. He was nothing like Hidan had been.

Team 11? Gai and Lee had called him Unyouthful and all that bullshit, which Naruto could care less about. Tenten threatened him like Choji in the same manner, except that she would do it with her weapons if he were to ever step near her or her shop again. Neji reacted almost exactly like Yamato in some regards, but instead had went into his 'Fate's Bitch' mode and had wondered if it was fate that Naruto had to mess up a simple mission. Oh, Naruto enjoyed the beating he had given the Hyuuga then while explaining how HE and the others would have met their fate if he or any of them had to face not only Sasuke, but Madara AND Obito.

In the case of team 8, Naruto had to laugh at that event. Kurenai had only threatened with a torture session via genjutsu, claiming to want to finish what should have been done on the day of his birth. Shino, being Shino, had only tried to dress him down via logic about how illogical he was in doing what he had did. To counter that, Naruto had pointed out the fallacies in his statements, one by one, leaving the Aburame in a conundrum of contradicting logistics. Kiba just did the same as Choji and Tenten, just with his dog added into the mix. Last he heard was that the said dog was still trying to get healed up after Naruto had set Tora after him.

And THEN there was Hinata, the residential stalker of our blonde hero. Despite the fact that she had proclaimed her feelings for him, she had decided to go along with the trend as she had stated her disappointment in hurting his 'precious person' when he could have just as 'easily' used words. And then she had to go on even saying that once they had gotten married, that she will train him to be a better follower and what not. She had not been able to locate said blond ever since. He had no interest in the girl whatsoever, and if then it would only be platonic. As far as Naruto was concerned, her reading the riot act to him had burned not only any potential romantic interest he might have had, but she had completely severed any other interest at the same time.

'Since before I could walk, this village has pushed me around as much as they want. Somehow, I'm not too surprised that they would dump me to the side once I gained the strength to push back.' Were the thoughts going through Naruto's mind.

Glancing downwards, Naruto gave a slightly angered glance at his right arm, his Konoha hitai-ate tightly gripped in his fist, which, responding to his emotions, began to pulse with a glowing red energy. Taking a few calming breaths, he was glad to see the glowing had subsided, which thankfully meant that for the time being, his new secret was safe. Said secret being?

What no one else knew was that during Naruto's final encounter with Obito Uchiha, who had still been posing as Madara, there had been a slight altercation that had taken place. Obito, realizing that he didn't have the needed strength to handle both Naruto and Kirabi at the same time, had decided to send Naruto away for the time being, intent on sealing the blonde into his Kamui until he had dealt with the Eight-Tails container. But once again, he had failed to take in his current situation, namely in the fact that while he took aim to use the Kamui, interference in the form of a youki-covered fist from Kirabi had been delivered to his face, knocking his aim off significantly. After the Doujutsu technique had ended, Kirabi was a little green in the face to see that Naruto was mostly missing, mostly in that his lower body up to his middle stomach, as well as his right arm was lying on the ground, the rest of the blonde nowhere to be seen.

'Guess I'll put those thoughts on hold for the time being.' Naruto thought, while reaching into a jacket that no one in Konoha had ever seen him wearing, and pulling out a small plastic object that none of the villagers would ever be able to recognize: a cellphone. "Hope this works." He thought out loud, while holding down the power button. Slowly, but surely, the phone sprang to life, showing that the dormancy it had sustained had recharged the battery to a single bar, and the signal, while not high up, would be enough. Pressing a few keys, Naruto was soon greeted by the, until a short time ago, familiar sounds of the call ringing in.

"Naruto?" A crisp voice answered after a few rings.

"Sirzechs, long time." Naruto replied, while smiling slightly at the voice he was hearing.

"It certainly has been." The now-named Sirzechs replied, his tone giving a hint of gratitude to be speaking with the young blonde once again. "But it's been so long, I had thought you had forgotten about us."

"Not a chance, but suffice to say, I've been rather tied up here as of late." Naruto responded, while sitting himself on the floor and leaning on one of the only remaining pieces of furniture in the room, namely the bed, though only the frame was still in slightly usable condition. "The Akatsuki got ambitious right after I got back, and it all culminated in the break-out of a war here."

"A war?" Sirzechs voice was laced with concern, mostly for the idea that Naruto had been sucked into a conflict that more than likely wasn't of his choosing.

"I'd explain more, but I don't think I have the time." Naruto said quickly, while pulling the phone away to see that the battery gauge was blinking, showing that the internal battery was just shy of running out of power. "I forgot to charge this damn thing before I left, and Konoha isn't exactly the most tech-savvy place in existence. I'm mostly calling to see if either yourself or Grayfia could come and get me?"

"I'm sure Grayfia would be happy to get you, but what's the rush?" Sirzechs questioned.

"Let's just say that they've been sending me on dangerous missions one after the other since the war ended, but since I've been surviving them, I wouldn't put it past them to try something else." Naruto replied, while he could practically feel the anger rise through the phone at his words.

"Who dares try to hurt my Naru-chan!?" A new voice, this one female and oddly enough young, sounding like it came from a much younger girl, suddenly cried out, causing Naruto to freeze, both mentally and physically. After a moment or so, Naruto finally managed to speak.

"I called in the middle of a meeting, didn't I?" Naruto finally said.

"I didn't see the harm in putting the call on speakerphone." Sirzechs replied, with what Naruto could tell was a bit of a sheepish expression from his tone of voice.

"So what's this about your village putting you in mortal danger?" Another voice spoke, this one giving of an air of aristocracy that surpassed any of the Daimyo's that Naruto had met during the war.

"Ajuka, now's not the time." Sirzechs voice cut in again, remembering the warning that Naruto had given about his time being limited.

"Sirzechs is right, so let's hear what the gaki has to say." A third voice said, this one male as well, but his tone gave the hint that he had either just woken up from a nap recently, or he was getting ready to take one soon.

"I just need someone to come and pick me up, since they're likely to send every ANBU and their mother after me when this is all said and done." Naruto spoke, while taking another quick glance at his battery gauge to see that it was still flashing, and he knew that there would only be a few minutes before it would die on him.

"Say no more, Naruto." Sirzechs voice replied. "Just get yourself to an open area and use the seal. Someone will come and get you as quickly as possible."

"Right, I'll do that." Naruto managed to say, only to hear a sudden beep. Looking at his phone, Naruto saw the screen display a simple "Powering Down" message, before the screen went blank. "Damn! Well, guess I'll get to it."

Sometime later, we find Naruto standing out in one of the wooded training grounds within Konoha, this one being home to a small stone with hundreds of names carved into it, symbolizing its status as a memorial stone. Glancing around the area, Naruto saw the familiar forms of three wooden posts, each about six feet tall, which caused a rather unpleasant memory to bubble to forefront of his mind.

(Flashback)

"You three won't be returning to the academy." The words of a man with silver hair that spiked upwards said, while his face was covered by both a mask reaching up just over his nose and below his eyes, while a headband with a metal plate on it was covering his left eye. His words were spoken to three pre-teens that were before him, two of them, namely a boy with black hair that oddly enough resembled the backside of a duck, while the other a was pink-haired girl, sat in front of a training post each. The third pre-teen, however, who distinguishable by his bright blonde hair, was tied to the middle post, while his eyes were narrowed in anger at his current situation. "Instead, you three should be dropped from the shinobi program completely."

(Flashback End)

'Just shows how much of a hypocritical ass Kakashi was, because if he had actually been fair at that time, it would have been Sakura that was tied to the training post.' Naruto thought at this point. True, he had come to many hard conclusions while he was on his two-and-a-half year training trip with Jiraiya, but Naruto had felt the need, if only to try and be the better person, to give his former sensei one chance for redemption. And while he had been shown taking steps towards trying to earn it, Naruto had once again by slapped by harsh reality when Kakashi had condemned him for defending himself from Sasuke during the final hours of the last war.

Glancing down at his left hand, Naruto saw a special seal that he had become rather familiar with during his training trip with Jiraiya on a small slip of paper, which was now glowing with an otherworldly red glow. Suddenly, Naruto tensed slightly at a new feeling that he had recognized, and without even turning his back to confirm, he could already tell that standing behind him was a large group of people that had little to no love for him. Looking back, he saw standing behind him was several squads of ANBU, most of the former rookies that he used to call friends, and standing at the front of this group was a woman whom he had seen a something of a surrogate mother to him, up until a few months ago, when that image he held of her was completely thrown to the wind.

"Well, guess I have some unexpected company." Naruto idly commented, more to himself than anything else, while noticing that some of the gathered were either glaring at him hatefully or giving him half-hearted glances, like they didn't consider him to be worth any of their time.

"Naruto, I had ordered you to report to the tower nearly two hours ago!" One Senju Tsunade, Godaime Hokage of Konoha, shouted out, while glaring angrily at the younger blonde, part from his blatant disregard for her order, but mostly from the anger at being denied his absolute obedience in the matter. "Now granted, we had decided to give you some leeway in this, since you did assist in ending the war, but you still follow my orders!"

"You 'decided to give me some leeway'?" Naruto accused, while leveling his own glare at her, which caused her to take a slight step back from the sheer amount of anger in both his eyes and tone. "Not only did I personally crush the leader of the Akatsuki, but I've also been forcibly taking non-stop S-rank missions since the war was over. If anything, I owe you some leeway, which was given when you tried to force me onto another mission."

Tsunade felt her anger rising at the younger blonde's words, even if they held quite a bit of truth, but anything that she was about to say was stopped, this time by one of the individuals behind her speaking.

"Naruto-kun, what are you doing?" The meek voice of one blue-haired, pearl-eyed girl questioned, since she had seen that Naruto's outfit had changed from what they had expected of the blonde, namely in that there was no orange in this. Instead, he was wearing a set of blue shorts that went down to just past his knees with multiple pockets on the sides, with a black t-shirt on his torso, his usual sandals being replaced by shoes that they had never seen before. But the two biggest things that drew the rest of crowds attention was the travel pack that the blonde had slung over his shoulder, while his standard hitai-ate was missing from his head.

"You would think that this appearance would be enough of a giveaway." Naruto idly commented to himself, while seeing some of the ninja there tense at his words. "But since you all seem so slow, I'll spell it out for you: I'm leaving the village."

"I didn't authorize a training trip for you, so you won't be going anywhere." Tsunade called out, which only caused a loud bout of laughter to emerge from Naruto, though the hollow sound that it gave off was somewhat unnerving to the gather shinobi.

"Who said anything about a training trip?" Naruto chuckled out, while turning his amused gaze back to the assembled group. "I'm telling you this, so listen carefully, because I'm only going to say it once: I'm THROUGH with Konoha! I'm done!"

"HYPOCRITE!" A new voice screamed out from Tsunade's left, this one being Uchiha Sasuke, his eyes shifting from their usual charcoal black to being blood-red with three tomoe marks in each eye. "You drag me back to Konoha against my will, but now suddenly, you have the nerve to try and leave here! I won't let you get away that easily, not until I pay you back for that humiliating defeat you gave me!"

"You left this village to join a pathetic traitor for your own mindless need for revenge, revenge on a person who was following the orders of some of the people that are behind you." Naruto fired back hotly, while glaring at Sasuke, who in Naruto's mind was still the same spoiled, arrogant brat that the village had catered to since he was 8. "I'm leaving because I'm sick and tired of both the suffocating hate and isolation that this village condemned me to."

"You aren't leaving, Naruto." Tsunade said, while snapping her fingers, causing dozens of ANBU to surround the young shinobi, weapons drawn in anticipation for their attacks. "You're too valuable of an asset to just let walk away."

"I fail to see how you can stop me, Tsunade." Naruto replied, a smirk visible on his face, while some of the gathered ninja felt a grimace cross their faces. It was a certifiable fact that Naruto was a powerhouse that few could match up with, and none of the ones that could were assembled here.

"You will show the proper respect to Hokage-sama!" One of the ANBU shouted, the one that Naruto recognized as the one that had tried to forcibly drag him to the meeting earlier, mostly thanks to the mask giving that away.

"Would it kill you to say please?" Naruto questioned, the smirk still firmly on his face, while he gave a split-second glance towards the small slip of paper held firmly in his hands, which had begun to glow brighter.

"BASTARD!" The same hawk-masked ANBU roared out, while rushing towards Naruto, several of the other more sensible ANBU shouting at him to stop, all of which unheeded by their comrade.

BOOM

A sudden blast of red energy suddenly flew by Naruto's head, impacting the same ANBU that had been charging, before said ANBU suddenly exploded, with a few particles slowly being blown away by the wind. Everyone there, with the exception of Naruto and those at the back of the crowd had been forced to avert their eyes at the explosion for fear of going blind, while Naruto only had to avert his head slightly.

"I'm surprised that you came yourself." Naruto said, which instantly caused the other individuals in the field to open their eyes to see what he was talking about.

There, behind Naruto, his hand lifted to show that he had been responsible for the attack, was a figure that none of them save Naruto recognized. He was male, appearing to be around early to mid-twenties in age, the most noticeable feature of him being the long crimson hair, while his form was garbed in an elaborate silver and gray robe, with a large and elaborate golden shoulder-dress armor that looked like a set of eight wings, four on each shoulder.

"If it's for an old friend, it's not an inconvenience." The man responded.

"YOU! Identify yourself!" Tsunade shouted, while her face held a look of slight panic at the strange and unknown power that was suddenly used on one of her subordinates.

"I'm called Sirzechs Lucifer." Sirzechs replied, while giving a slight mock-bow to Tsunade. "I'd say it's a pleasure, but I'm not very good at lying."

"I'm a little surprised that you managed to come alone." Naruto commented, while turning away from the assembled group of ninja to look back at Sirzechs.

"Who said I came alone?" Sirzechs replied cryptically, which caused Naruto to give him a confused glance.

Almost as if that was the cue, a strange and unknown circle appeared on the ground, glowing a blue color, which once again caused the Konoha nin to cover their faces from the blazing light. Once it had calmed down enough, they looked to see a terrifying sight: pillars of ice blanketed the area, encasing some ANBU entirely in their frozen grasp, while some managed to dodge them enough to only suffer from severe frostbite.

"Yaho! Mahou Shoujo Levi-tan has arrived !" A new voice called out, one that Naruto knew rather vividly. Turning his gaze the source, he was greeted with a young looking female, admittedly with rather large breasts, garbed in an outfit that only Naruto and Sirzechs recognized as being from a genre popular outside of the Elemental Countries called "Mahou Shoujo" (Magical Girl).

"You brought Serafall with you?!" Naruto questioned with a blush on his face, while looking back to Sirzechs who had a small smile on his face. "I'm guessing you don't care too much for the surrounding area?"

"Do you?" Sirzechs replied.

"Nope, can't say I do." Naruto finally said after a moment or so of thought. Anything else he might have said was interrupted by the now named Serafall launching herself towards him, wrapping her arms around his head and smashing his face into her torso, ironically, her breasts smashing right into his face, while her knees were situated around his ribs.

"Naru-chan, did you miss me ?" Serafall questioned, after she had had her fill of pressing the blonde's face into her ample chest.

"You there!" Tsunade shouted, while pointing Serafall, her eyes narrowed in anger, though the shaking of her arms, both from the cold and the fear she was feeling did little to enforce her authoritative tone. "You just attacked loyal shinobi of Konohagakure no Sato. As such, you are hereby under arrest." She then pointed towards Naruto, who was still holding Serfall in his arms, and Sirzechs. "That goes for the red-haired man as well. And you, Uzumaki, are to be arrested and tried at once for crimes of Treason, Attempted Desertion and Potential Conspiracy."

"Even after all this; she still thinks she's the one in control?" Sirzechs questioned, while looking at Naruto, who in turned just shrugged his shoulders in response to this.

"She's in charge of the most arrogant and bigoted cesspool on this continent; of course she still thinks that she's in control." Naruto replied, while Sirzechs couldn't help but let a chuckle escape at the blonde's words.

"Are you listening?!" Tsunade screamed out, while feeling her anger rise at the actions of Naruto and the new male beside him. "SEIZE THEM!"

At this, what ANBU remained, namely another 30 or so, as well as the assembled groups of Jounin and Chuunin drew their weapons in response to her call, and readied their attack. This was halted, to an extent, when another blast of ice entered the area, this one originating from another strange circle, this one glowing with a silver-white color to it, forming into multiple spears that impaled several unlucky ANBU as well as a few lower-ranked nin.

"Yara yara, you two can't seem to stay out of trouble, can you?" Yet another new voice spoke out, which belonged to another female, this one appearing to be in her early to mid-twenties as well, with silver hair and eyes, while her hair, which was reaching down her back had two braids on each side with a blue bow at the end of each. The biggest eye catcher, though, was the fact that she was garbed in a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves, a white maid headband over her head and red lipstick on her lips.

"Grayfia-san." Naruto spoke while seeing her slightly narrowed eyes soften for a moment when they landed on him, before they returned to their narrowed expression at the sight behind said blonde.

"You intend to stand in the way of my orders as well?!" Tsunade shouted, while pointing an accusing finger at the newest arrival, only for said woman to ignore her and instead walk straight for Naruto, before enveloping the young blonde in a warm hug, while also mushing his face directly into her cleavage.

"I'm sorry we took so long, Naruto-kun." Grayfia spoke, while pulling the blonde's face away from her chest to give him a warm smile.

"I'm just glad you could come." Naruto replied.

"ARREST THEM!" Tsunade screamed out, which caused some of the shinobi to instantly rush forward, while a few of the more sensible ones were initially terrified of attacking these new individuals. A glare from the first female Hokage changed that, as they too went on the attack.

"Hate to cut this reunion short, but I think there's business to attend to." Sirzechs interjected, causing Grayfia to loosen her hug on Naruto, as both of them turned to regard the approaching forces.

"Time to have some fun, eh, Naru-chan ?!" Serafall questioned, while summoning a pair of circles, one in each hand.

"Yeah, time for some fun." Naruto replied, while smirking in anticipation of the upcoming fight.

(Three minutes later)

Tsunade felt both her anger and fear rise to new levels at the sight before her. When she had summoned every ANBU and other ninja the village could spare, as well as the former Rookie 12 and their sensei's to try and apprehend Naruto for his blatant disobedience, she had expected the young Uzumaki to cow-tow under her demands like he had done before in the past. But this idea was soon shot down by the arrival of three individuals that she had never seen before, and with their arrival, the supposed "easy win for Konoha" had changed drastically.

Bodies of her shinobi lay on the ground, either impaled by spears of ice or frozen from the inside out by the hands of the two females they had faced. Their initial beliefs of them being a "mere maid" and a "child" had been proven very wrong, since the two were dishing out the most punishment by letting their opponents suffer. Ino and Hinata were also encased from the waist down in ice, since they had felt that attacking the two other females would show that they were stronger than them, while also feeling rubbed about them being affectionate with Naruto on different levels.

There were also scorch marks on the ground where several shinobi had fallen prey to the red-haired man's strange and unknown attack, which left little to no evidence behind. But the thing that seemed to anger Tsunade the most was that even with as many trained and potent shinobi being thrown at him, he was treating this battle more like a chore than a fight. The only survivor of his assault was Tenten, whose ever single weapon used against him had been vaporized without even a backwards glance on Sirzechs part.

As for Naruto himself, he was proving once again that he was the most unpredictable shinobi in history, since he had taken down his own fair share of shinobi, some being simply injured and out of commission, but there were some that he had killed. Currently, said blonde was holding the battered form of his former sensei, Hatake Kakashi by the throat, said man glaring at Naruto with his still visible Sharingan eye, while Naruto couldn't help but smirk at his former sensei's attacks, or at least attempts at attacks. Lying on the ground around him were his old academy members, Kiba and Chouji nursing broken arms, Shikamaru suffering from a broken nose, Neji and Shino with broken jaws, while Sakura was passed out with a shoe mark on her forehead.

"What's the matter, Hatake, don't like getting beat by a teenager?" Naruto questioned, the same smirk from earlier still on his face, which caused a growl to rise from the silver-haired nin's throat.

"More like trying to figure out how the son of my sensei could perform such an act to loyal Konoha shinobi like you have." Kakashi fired back, while wishing he hadn't used so much chakra to try and take down Naruto like he had, since even now, he felt his conscious fading, while the blonde's grip on his throat wasn't helping at all. At the same time, he was hoping that by dropping that small hint about Naruto's parentage, he might gain a small chance to fight back during the blonde's "moment of realization."

"You're one to talk, considering the hypocritical crap you've pulled over the years. Wasn't it your same sensei who always preached about showing fairness to each and every student that was under the Jounin sensei's command?" Naruto shot back, shocking Kakashi, both from the words ringing true in Kakashi's brain, but also from the fact that Naruto had used that particular pretext to respond. "I know all about my parents, Hatake; you can thank Jiraiya-sensei for that. But what shocks me the most is that you have the audacity to try and use my father against me in this situation, when we both know that I'm not in the wrong here."

"You are in the wrong!" Kakashi yelled out, while trying to regain his lost breath through the blonde's grip. "Your father believed with all his being in protecting this village no matter what. For you to desert the village like you're planning to; you're worse than trash." At these words, Naruto lowered his head, as his bangs shadowed his eyes, which initially gave Kakashi the idea that his words might have had some kind of effect.

"Maybe so." Naruto spoke after a moment of silence, before lifting his head to show the same blood-red eyes with slit pupils that many of the village had grown used to seeing before. "But here's the thing about that…I don't care. I'm through playing "devoted soldier" to this ungrateful hellhole, and it's time that I go and find my own place in the world, one that doesn't involve any of you!"

At these words, Naruto charged up what had become known as his signature technique, the Rasengan, before slamming the spiraling ball of energy directly into Kakashi's stomach in the same instant he let go of said man's neck. Adding a new twist to it, Naruto channeled his chakra into the sphere, effectively launching it out of his hand, while continuing to drill into Kakashi's gut and sending him flying away. The sphere continued on its path, while taking Kakashi along for the ride, before causing the Cyclops nin to slam into one of the surrounding ice pillars, before the orb exploded in power, taking Kakashi out of the fight.

"Last, and most certainly least of all." Naruto commented, before raising his hand to catch an incoming attack, namely a hand coated in lightning, at the wrist, before looking at his one-time former Genin team mate. "Still so angry Sasuke. But what are you aiming this anger at now?"

"DON'T YOU DARE PLAY INNOCENT WITH ME, DO-AAHH!" Sasuke began in an enraged shout, only for it to be cut off when Naruto twisted his grip, breaking Sasuke's wrist.

"Play innocent?" Naruto replied. "You've been sucked into this festering vortex of hate, and now that you don't have any legitimate target for your anger, you're taking it out on me?"

"Because you stole my pride from me!" Sasuke shouted back, while trying and failing to pry his broken arm out of the blonde's grip. "I'm an Uchiha elite and for you to stand in the way of my greatness is unforgiveable!"

"Way of your greatness?" Naruto commented idly, while twisting Sasuke's arm to a lower position, inciting another pained cry from the last Uchiha. "Reminds me of an old cooking quote: "You can't make omelets without breaking a few eggs." I think I'll rephrase that: "You can't make a tough warrior without breaking a few bones."

With this said, Naruto lashes out with a side kick, smashing directly into Sasuke's ribcage, and causing a loud medley of snaps to echo out throughout the clearing. Sasuke, in response, gives a few painful coughs, crimson blood decorating his lips, before he collapses forward in pain, his body trying and failing to draw in the much needed oxygen.

"All finished?" Sirzechs asked, while throwing another red sphere over his shoulder to smash into one of the last ninja still in the area, reducing him to dust.

"Yeah, I'd say so." Naruto replied, while delivering a small kick to the slightly stirring form of Shikamaru.

"Naruto!" Tsunade shouted, while glaring angrily at the young blonde in question.

For several moments, neither Naruto nor Tsunade spoke a word, each blonde staring at the other, either in disinterest or anger, from the former and latter respectively. Finally, after what seemed like ages, four words were spoken by the younger blonde, which gave an air of extreme disinterest.

"See to your wounded." Was all Naruto said, even as Grayfia and Serafall gathered towards him and Sirzechs, the latter lifting his hand and creating a glowing seal beneath their feet. Without even given another glance back towards either his former friends or comrades, Naruto and the other three disappeared in a shimmer of light, leaving Tsunade to try and pick up the pieces.

And cut!

I know, some of you might be mad that I'm not working on my other projects, but this is something that I had to try out. Originally, an idea similar to this had been bouncing around in my head for months, but I couldn't figure out a way to work it without seeming to follow the Highschool DxD canon too much, but this worked around that plot bit.

I'm still working on my stories when I can, but for now, I'm trying to focus on what comes to mind first, and this was at the forefront.

I'll update more when I can, but once again, I'm not making any guarantees for fear of having to break them.

Also, last but not least, I do owe credit to absolutezero001 for part of the story depicting the reactions of the rookies and their sensei's, so thanks for that.
