The sacred Tree V.

Yokai Academy. Boys' Dorms.

Naruto yawned. He hated when nothing happened. He also hated when everything happened too fast for him to proceed. His mission in this realm was endangered by Satsuki and Hinata. Their clashes with Moka were enjoyable, since all of them lost parts of their clothes in process, but also very troublesome to deal with.

Of course, if he wasn't sure that he will be instantly killed, he would have already offered them a foursome. Nearly all supernatural beings assured that sex is a key to peaceful and bright future. Naruto was forced to agree, because Lady Uriel once told him about Abbadon.

After his wounds, which included not only his eye, he became a real jerk.

Naruto tied his tie and prepared to another crazy day in Yokai Academy. He walked away from the boys' dorms and walked to the main campus of the Yokai Academy. Day was pretty much casual. It started from another catfight between Hinata, Moka and Satsuki.

This time, however, he decided to sneak past them.

"Help, help me… somebody." Naruto always had a good hearing and a good heart too, sometimes to his own trouble. Naruto walked deeper into the forest, searching for the source of sound. He found it, in form of cute blue haired girl.

"Need help?" asked he.

"Yes my leg… and those constant pains… in my chest… I will be gracious, if you will carry me to hospital wing." Ignoring this blatant try to get into his pants, Naruto took the "injured" girl bridal style and walked to nurse office.

Smell of the girl was intoxicating, but somehow… familiar. Naruto made one more breathe to understand where this familiarity came from, when it struck him. Grandmother. She smelled like Lilith, she was a succubus. Somewhere inside his mind he noted, that if said girl somehow would become close to him he would not introduce her to Uncle Death. Uncle had serious allergy for succubus kind. Deathly one. For succubus of course.

Leaving a frustrated succubus alone in nurse's office, he left to his classroom and when nurse arrived she found only empty bed, with no trace of blue haired girl.

Naruto's classroom.

"Blue haired girl? Why are you always get in such kind of situations?" pouted Satsuki.

"So the fact that strange succubus girl is running around isn't so… interesting as the fact that I was with a good looking woman for more than an hour. Alone." thought Naruto.

Girls continued to argue and bicker while Naruto dealt with English Grammar. He returned to reality because of insane screams from corridor. To his surprise large crowd of males gathered in main hall of the academy, surrounding something or someone.

Using his impressive height and elbows he slowly but surely walked to the center of student's gathering. Kurumi Kurono, the blue – haired succubus, who he helped, was introducing herself and her plan to the girls.

When Naruto finally reached the open field in the center, it was already a full – scale war between the girls, Kurumi was first to notice him. She gracefully landed near him, still in her human form and tried to charm him.

Nephilim's blood prevailed.

Kurumi jumped backwards and used some poisonous darts on her rivals. She grabbed Naruto and with unusual, for someone of her appearance, strength, pulled him with her.

Satsuki took out a poisonous needle and felt how her body slowly became numb.

"We must hurry!" screamed Moka "With just one kiss he will be her slave for entire life."

Gathering their last bits of strength they broke through the circle of zombified males, only to find Kurumi in nurse office… kissing Naruto. Hinata's loud scream with following energy wave destroyed an entire wing forcing Kurumi to transform and land on school grounds, Naruto gracefully landed behind her. Her energy wave was even powerful enough to disrupt the work of Moka's seal.

"He is lost for us." said Inner Moka. "We can only avenge him."

"You want to hurt me? Naruto, dear, deal with them."

Wave of power send all girls into school direction, then it circled around Naruto and disappeared.

"No." said he slowly raising to his feet.

"What, but how? Only a true Destined One could resist the charm of succubus!" screamed Kurumi in surprise.

"Destined One? What is it?" asked Naruto.

Kurumi greeted her teeth but answered. "Destined One is a male counterpart, needed for succubus to have a child, it's only one male from millions of others who we require to continue our linage, but finding him is next to impossible, many succubi spent their entire lives to die not knowing the happiness of being a parent."

She paused and asked. "But enough of this! A kiss of succubus should have turned you into submissive slave! You on the other hand… still have your will and mind."

Naruto raised his brow "And you are so disappointed in this."

"Kurumi's cheeks reddened. "I-if you are my Destined One… it wasn't the way I wanted to meet you."

"Let's go…" said Naruto. "Let these secrets rest for a while. Girls followed him, with only Inner Moka having a sense of doubt and growing thirst to know, who is her mysterious friend. She licked her lips, he could always ask Moka to take their share in that delicious blood of his.

Day later.

"Yahoo! Naruto!"

"What is it Kurumi?" asked our blomd hero who was once again focused on study.

"I brought cookies for you!" said she placing a plate with hand-made cookies in front of him.

"Why such generosity?" asked he.

"Well… I decided that since you are the only male in school, who is immune to my charm, strong, kind and also very good looking… I will choose you as my Destined One! Oh, and cookies is kinda… a peace gift."

"No way!" other girls appeared nearly instantly, already prepared to protect their territory, in their constant storm of bickering, Naruto sat, like a mountain of calm power, and slowly eating Kurumi's cookies he noted that life was good and young Succubus' cooking skills were supreme.

Several days later.

When you are raised by several millennia old entities, you gonna peak something useful from them.

Like knowledge of ancient and modern languages and good mathematical skills. Right now, Naruto like everyone in the school stood before the chart, which showed the result of the exams. He was 4th Moka was 13th place. He of course didn't care even if he was on the last place, already taken by Kurumi, he had a job to do and lives to protect and take.

"Hi, Naruto-kun." They appeared, once again unnoticed by him, his four personal problems, which, he never will admit, he loved dearly.

"Glad that you are so good with it. And I'm really glad that you managed to get this far." said his favorite pink-haired vampire.

"Well I'm not glad with my current position" pouted Kurumi.

"Well I'm certainly not the one, who you should blame for your lack of studying, Kurumi." said Naruto.

"Why are you so mean to me Naruto-kun? I mean I'm certainly a bad girl, but can you cut me some slack?" asked she.

"He isn't mean, Kurumi-chan." said Hinata. "What he means is that you should work on your grades more. And charm less."

"Hey! I'm not charming him with my magic, I'm using my feminine charms. Is that a problem?" Kurumi took a pose, showing off her impressive breasts and making a few guys faint and squirt blood from their noses.

Meanwhile Moka decided to join the argument with the she-demon once more. As it escalated Naruto face-palmed himself. Of all the girls he met he always got the ones, who fight nearly all time and always irritated him with it.

Meanwhile a small girl, wearing a, what seemed to be witch outfit, was hiding behind a pillar, not far from them. She was looking at Moka, who argued with Kurumi and Hinata, although somebody might consider it stalking, but before she managed to move she was picked up by a bunch of mean looking guys.

"Yukari-chan. Once again the first place. You must be really proud of yourself."

"Class President?"

"That's right, miss Sendo." said the leader, mean looking guy with slitted eyes. "And once again congrats. It looks like you are still undisputable leader in our school rate. Same as always, but you are followed by our new star." said he "So don't get your luck get in that pretty, little head of yours."

"Emm… what do you mean?" asked the little girl, slightly confused by what she heard.

"For example… That ridiculous costume of yours!" his followers finally decided to interfere.

"It's against any rules of this school! You must be punished for it! As your class president I must…" three golden bowls fell on their heads, after that Yukari broke in a fit of laughter.

"Serves you right jerks." said she adding a bit more bowls to the current ones.

"Hey!" heard she the voice of female behind her. "Get away from the girl."

"Tch. Let's get the fuck out of here." Said their leader, looking at the figure of Naruto behind Moka. "We will have our chance later."

Naruto looked at the backs of the teens, who slowly got away from the field with the rating boards.

Meanwhile, Moka was too carried away by the problems of the little girl and so she and Naruto lost the moment, when whole girl and friend ordeal instantly became something more than friend proclamation.

When gazes of Yukari and Naruto met, he felt an unimaginable fury, focused on him. Naruto sighed, feeling that this new girl will become a source of countless problems for him. Thus, their pranking war, after Yukari's declaration of her undying love for Moka, started.

Yukari lost… rather humiliating, Naruto might add, but he was still forced to deal with the consequences of his actions. He helped Yukari, since in a way, she was a fellow half-breed and gained attention of another girl… several times him younger.

He seriously needed to ask uncle Death if there are some curses on him.

Nevertheless, this was the deed of the past, right now; he was on the dead world, covered by nothing, but dust and ash. However, on this world something or rather someone made it worth visiting.

On this world, Death built himself a house.

"First seal is shaking, nephew." Said the eldest of the Nephilim. "I can feel how Humanity is creating an incident right under our noses. Had your investigation given us something?"

"Yes uncle. Unfortunately, Humanity's progress after their rebirth and Earth restoration only increased. Consequences of Abaddon's actions were tremendous, just like the consequences of your actions that you were forced to do, reshaped the entire universe."

"Close to the subject please."

"Currently, there were the sighting of the creatures, classified by the other humans as 'metas'." Answered Naruto.

"And how is that possible for them to endanger the seals? Right now, they don't have enough power to do something like this." Said Death.

"However, due to changes in history of the Third Realm, countless artifacts of Old Ones, First and Second Kingdoms and also those, created by the Old Gods of Humanity, fill the soil of the Third Kingdom, just waiting for the fools, who will dare to threaten the Balance."

"And the fools… Agh! Why do I even ask? There are only two things in this all-damned Creation that are eternal, Foolishness and the Universe… However, since I exist I cannot be so sure in the latter. Nevertheless, we must act at once. I cannot go down myself… How is the situation with your current task? How are these 'Yokai'?"

"Trust to be told, they are very similar to humans… or rather to every living being. They eat, sleep, have sex… but right now they feel fear." Answered Naruto.

"Why?"

"Knowledge of the Metahumans became public. Moreover, recently, Earth suffered from the invasion of the alien life-forms."

"What? There aren't supposed to be anyone, but humans in the Third Kingdom! This realm was created sorely for them!"

"Shall I remind you that you reshaped the Creation? Slightly, but you did it uncle. And Creation twisted back, trying to fill the gaps that your amateurish actions with power of All-Creation made."

Death grumbled. "We had no choice back then. Too many causalities… Entire creation was at stake. I didn't have time nor imagination to create a new plan."

"And now we are dealing with consequences of strangest kind." Finished for him Naruto. "Anyway, right now, the first seal is endangered by the demonic artifact in hands of one man… John Constantine."

Death hissed. "As I remember, some kids can visit their relatives during the weekends, if they have the means to do so. We will use it as cover for you, boy. Find that crafty bastard before he had destroyed the Third Kingdom. Such power cannot be left in his unworthy hands." Said Death, throwing a skull-shaped amulet to Naruto. "This little trinket will show you the path."

"At once." Said Naruto, before creating a portal and stepping into it.

…

Finding himself in the Las Vegas didn't surprise Naruto. City of Sin was a magnet for sinful people and cursed items both. Here different kind of smugglers sold everything. From rare plants, to scepters of ancient dark magi.

For the right price, of course.

Nevertheless, the artifact didn't bring Naruto to them. Instead he had found himself before the building, where large poster, with "Zatanna's Magic Show' signed on it, could be seen. Whoever this Zatanna was, it was possible that she was somehow connected… or the Constantine himself was among the auditory.

Security couldn't stop him, they just failed to see him. Simple illusion. He entered the building when hell already went loose. Several men, dressed in black suits and armed with magical weapons attacked the stage performer, who was the Zatanna from the poster on the building.

Man in long black robes, who seemed like a leader of attackers, screamed to the 'suits' something, pointing in his way.

…

Zatanna Zatara was having a usual day, during her tour. In other words, she have faced too much stress, during the preparations, before the stage and relished in ovations after. Unfortunately, good ol' Felix decided that she will not have the latter.

So instead of taking the roses and other flowers, brought to her by adorable little viewers of hers, Zatanna was forced to deal with horde of 'suits' under command of Felix Faust. She was holding herself damn good and the reinforcements were already on their way… However, she had noticed too late that in their fight was interfered by the third party.

She tried to scream and warn the young man, who slowly walked down the stairs, but she was too late… One of the 'suits' was already above him and he had nothing on him that will protect him from attack.

Young man just raised his arm and when the assassin landed before him… he blocked the blade with his bare hand. Too surprised, everyone around him failed to see what happened next. Naruto slowly raised his hand and placed it on assassin's chest.

Next moment a headless body destroyed the column on the stage, right between Zatanna and Faust and his cronies. They returned their gazes to Naruto, young Nephilim continued to walk, but he wasn't unarmed anymore in his right hand was flaming sword of assassin and on the raised finger of his left hand spun the head of the unfortunate fella, who dared to raise his sword upon the Harbinger.

Naruto threw away assassin's head and checked the magic sword. Too unbalanced for his taste, but it will suffice. When he appeared near them, none of the sides managed to react. The man closest to him, suddenly found a burning blade inside his guts. Not letting his opponents to return to their senses, he quickly grabbed another two by their throats, breaking them.

He raised a hand in the air and Bloodthirster fell upon the last one, effectively cleaving him in half.

Zatanna looked at the young man, you saved her from Felix goons and caused unlimited bloodshed, now held said dark magician in his hand.

Felix screamed, begging for mercy, young man said something in strange language that Zatanna cannot understand, nor comprehend; it was as if someone pierced her brain with red-hot needles, whenever he spoke.

And this moment, her reinforcements choose to arrive.

First thing, that Diana, princess of Themyscira, saw did dead bodies and young blonde man, who held Felix Faust in the air, surround Zatanna, fortunately unharmed. Diana went here as quickly as possible, when she received the distress signal from female magicain.

She was even forced to cut short one of her rare meetings with Donna. Unfortunately, her sister and her two friends, Starfire and Raven, decided to aid her in this mission. Of course, she appreciated the aid, but she still worried for them.

Blonde man said something in unknown language. Suddenly, eyes of Raven glowed with white light and she said something… on the same language. Blonde man turned to them. Quickly Diana grabbed the hilts of her swords and unsheathed them.

Eyes like his cannot belong to a mortal. Also… such eyes certainly didn't belong to a kind person. In front of them stood something that disguised itself as human, like a wolf, disguised as a deer and it certainly wasn't friendly.

Diana grabbed her Lasso of Truth, whatever hid behind the disguise of young boy, will not be able to withstand the might of the lasso. She used it as whip, but the blonde blocked it with his right hand.

Lasso wrapped over his hand and amazon princess needed just this.

"Who are you?" asked Diana, knowing that lasso will grant her the ability not only to extract the truth, but also to understand the creature …

However…

"Foolish." Said Naruto slowly overpowering Diana's grip over her lasso. "Let me give you several hints about your weapon that your benevolent 'gods' forget to mention. First of all. Your power isn't truth, it's intimidation. You cannot govern over the aspect that you try to claim, until you will be tested by it."

Golden lightning struck Diana and she fell to her knees.

"However, since that lasso connects us both… I can ask a question. Where is John Constantine? Where is that swine? He always hides behind everyone just like he did today, when he sent the cute witch something dangerous. Now… I want it back."

"John… you unimaginable jerk. Okay, I'm the one who you need." Said Zatanna, getting something from her pocket.

"Wait!" screamed Donna, obviously not happy with the situation. "How can we be so sure that he will not try to kill us after we will give him whatever he wants?"

"We can't." said Zatanna. "But look… Lasso of Truth is serving him now; it is rebelling against Diana's will and slowly tying her! We must save her even if it will somehow bite us in the ass later."

She tossed a small bag send to her by Constantine. Naruto caught the bag and opened it. Inside beg there was a ring and a letter. Letter was from Constantine to Zatanna, he asked her to take care of herself.

"Anyway, can you please tell us, into what kind of shit Constantine got himself into." Naruto didn't answer, looking how rune of explosion slowly appeared on the ring that was in the bug.

"Shit, we have been had." He threw the bag away and jumped to the girls. Quickly changing his appearance to his Nephilim form, he stabbed Bloodthirster into the earth, summoning the energy shied.

"Quickly, get behind the shield!" screamed he to the girls.

Explosion destroyed the entire building, except the part that was protected by the shield of Naruto.

"That fucking bastard!" screamed Zatanna when shield disappeared. "I cannot believe that he tried to kill me!"

"I highly doubt that he tried." Said Naruto. "Magical rune that was on the ring is impossible for a human to create and use. You wouldn't have managed to activate the rune. It was a trap for me. Someone had betrayed the Council."

"Please… tell me that it isn't the Council that I think about." Begged Zatanna.

"It is also called the Council of Four Riders." Informed her Naruto and hearing it, the young magician hissed as if the salt was placed on her open wound.

Council of Four Riders. Four beings, given power to maintain the Balance in whole multiverse, alongside the power to destroy it. Four Riders of Apocalypse. War, Fury, Strife and Death. Rumors also said, that recently, Council created an organization. Harbingers.

And among others, one was the most… infamous. Nephilim. Son of Absalom. King of Executioners. Nobody knew the name given to him when he was born. Some say that his father, Absalom, created him during the days when Nephilim Horde still existed. Some say that Lilith, Mother of Monsters, once again tried to create a perfect soldier and managed to get her hands on some blood from Absalom's corpse. After all, nobody believed that the first Nephilim managed to survive his brother's scythe for second time.

"What's wrong Zatanna?" asked Donna. "Who is this Council?"

"They are a group of powerful beings charged with protection of the Balance in the Multiverse." Answered Zatanna. "Four Riders of Apocalypse. And he is their Harbinger."

"Yes." Said Naruto. "Unfortunately, we are forced to move in haste and I'm forced to ask your aid."

"Wow." Said Raven, who was silent all the time. "Situation must be really bad."

"Yes, Daughter of Trigon." Said Naruto. "Situation is most dire."

"How did you dare to call me?" Raven's appearance instantly changed, under the darkness of her hood appeared another pair of glowing eyes and shadows that were her main weapons materialized to manifest into demonic creatures.

"Yes! We also want to hear the translation!" said Starfire. "The name he called you sounded so beautiful! Yet none of us understood the language."

"Looks like you are truly Nephilim." Said Raven slowly returning to her usual calm persona. "I heard that when the one speaking in their language can make it so, that only those worthy of understanding will manage to hear what he or she speaks. Hmm… so, among all of us only I understood, how you called me. This ability can come in handy."

"Yes. I cannot speak lies. My work… has some pros and cons and this inability to speak lies is questionable. Thus, when my own condition is about to put me into really problematic situation… I just use the tricks from Nephilim speech." Answered her Naruto.

"So… it's like verbal tick?" asked Diana, Raising her brow in question. "I thought that it is impossible for great beings to suffer from something like this?"

"Really?" asked Naruto. "Look at your pantheon, which suffers from everything possible and tell me that my situation is so unique. I dare you."

Diana sighed. Her pantheon was always sore subject to her. How many problems had she and her sisters suffered because of those self-righteous pricks on mount Olympus? Countless times gods used them to fight in their wars, to shape the world in the way the viewed it.

Looks like another debacle is on its way.

"Okay." Said Diana. "What do we need to do?"

"First of all, we need to know, how John Constantine is bound to whatever is happening and there we need the one, who gave us information about this… incident."

"Who it was?" asked Starfire.

"Kent Nelson, also known as Doctor Fate."

Tower of Fate. Ten minutes later.

Shaft of Naruto halberd hit the ground and when the light emitted by it disappeared, group of heroes had found itself near the Town of Fate.

"Eons ago, when the War in Eden ended with its destruction, Humanity was given new home on Earth. Seven seals were created to hold at bay other kingdoms and creatures created before them, now, we must stop Constantine, or whomever manipulates or hides behind him, before the first seal will be destroyed." Said Naruto as he went in direction of Tower.

"What will happen if we will not manage in time?" asked Donna.

"This result will be very… unfortunate." Said Naruto. "When the first seal will fall, different planes of existence, created by supernatural beings that also inhabit earth, will become… not so hidden anymore. Aside from world-wide bloodbath, another, even more terrifying consequence will follow. The seals are linked in a way, so, after one fall, other will fall like dominos… one way or another. Power behind the seals will assure it. Unfortunately, first seal is shaking and we know nothing about the reasons. Let's make haste. Someone have to answer for his lies."

"Who are you and why did toy dare enter the Town of Fate? Answer truthfully or you will meet your doom." Booming voice that started to sound at the same moment as golden ankh appeared.

"We come to question your master and by the will of the Council, he will answer." Said Naruto. After his words left his mouth, glowing golden ankh turned into a portal and heroes stepped inside.

They appeared inside the tower, on the large, golden stage, surrounded by columns.

"Who dares to disturb the Doctor Fate?" said booming voice from somewhere above and notorious hero clad in golden and blue armor slowly levitated to them.

"Harbinger of the Council dares, Fate." Said Naruto. "You have given us false information and lured me to a trap. Explain yourself, now."

"As if I will explain myself to the likes of you, abomination you and new Council threatens the Order. Therefore, we decided that the Endwar will be preferable, we will pull the Balance to the side of order during the Endwar, or we will start from scrap, with all powers perfectly balanced. Not a bad outcome." Said Fate.

"You had forgotten another outcome, the one that had happened the last time. With forces of Hell overpowering the forces of Heaven, and Chaos ruling supreme over Order. That's how the last war ended. Do you remember, how much shit we were forced to deal with, before we finally managed to push the reset button? This time, there is no power to return the Humanity from its grave."

"Details. After all, it's if we lose." Said Doctor Strange.

"Sometimes I hate when they speak it. Girls? Some help if you don't mind." Round shield hit the golden helmet of the avatar of Order, Fate lost balance and concertation, which made him vulnerable to combined attacks of Raven and Starfire.

Finally, good doctor feel to the earth, but when he finally rose to his feet, he became victim of Diana's and Donna's double lariat. Spinning, the golden helme flew into the air, and landed near the massive boot of Naruto.

"Why do they even need us?" asked Zatanna.

"To look impressive, sexy and stylish." Answered Naruto, takingthe helmet into his hand.

"Oh… you think that you are sexy?"

"I'm impressive." Answered Naruto calmly. "Sexy and stylish are you."

He walked away, not even noticing the dumbfond expression of Zatanna's face. Young sorceress knew that playing with Nephilim's social skills can be dangerous, but she still like to tease. However, his utter lack of lie-telling meant that all that he said was a fact. Thus, he either constantly offended people or praised them and made compliments.

"What have I done…" muttered Kent Nelson as he tried to stand.

"Easy there, Kent." Said Diana, who grabbed him, trying to help him keep his balance. "We will need you during whatever comes. However, we will grateful, if you will tell us what he hell is happening right now."

"Yes… I… I understand. You must to understand before I will start my tale… Endwar that was foretold to come... in a way… it had already happened."

"What?" combined scream of the female heroines nearly shook the Tower of Fate.

Fate just turned to the giant form of young Nephilim. "Your young friend over here had already mentioned that. A false Endwar that lead to our current state of things. Before the false Endwar the beings called the Charred Council overlooked the Balance in the Multiverse and four riders were their enforcers. Four riders, whom Council tried to kill and set the blame for causing the war on, destroyed the Charred Council. Eventually they were too powerful even for those, whom Creator placed to take care of things. However, with power to shape the fate of Third Kingdom, they still chose Balance."

"Why are you telling this to us Doctor?" asked Donna.

"Because after the failure of the Charred Council, power of All-Creation had returned. It was it that approved the rising of the Council of Four, however it created another powers to keep those, who hungers power in check. Thus Lords of Chaos and Order came to existence."

"And you are their obedient pawn." noted Naruto.

"That I am. However, I fear that not only the Lords became corrupt as the previous Council. There were others beings… who were given great responsibilities. Such as Spectre and Phantom Stranger."

"Who are they?" asked Starfire.

"Creatures of immense power, who are locked in battle for human souls, one brings vengeance other thirsts for justice. However in recent times, Spectre became more powerful."

"So… what shall we expect?" asked Raven.

"Wrath of God in spectral flesh." Said Naruto looking up. Unknown to nearly everyone but him, dark clouds covered the sky and green lightning pierced the dark clouds from time to time.

Wrath decided to visit them himself.
