Golden Glint (Naruto x Solo Leveling)

I don't own Naruto or Solo leveling

...

Managing to ignore the extreme heat, Minato Namikaze, traversed past the many destroyed buildings and streets of this fiery hellhole. He was honestly surprised his skin hadn't started tearing off from the intense heat of this dimension.

'This must be hell...'

During his first few seconds here it wasn't long before he was attacked by some demonic looking monster vulture and overtime, as he continued exploring, he encountered more of its kind. Ranging from demonic looking bulls and wolves to walking skeletons. He wouldn't be surprised if this was the belly of the Reaper or his punishment for damming his own son to be the vessel of a literal fox demon in the real world, the same fox that he had sealed within himself.

But there was always this nagging that he wasn't actually dead (even though he really should be) and that was because he could still use his chakra—low as it may be—and that shouldn't be possible, at least that's what he thought.

"You know...a guy can't just be left to his own thoughts around here!" Minato jumped away to avoid a giant slamming onto the decimated street he was walking on. He stuck horizontally to the side of the building thanks to his chakra control. A rasengan slowly forming in the palm of his hand. He leaped off the building using body flicker and slammed the spiraling sphere right on the red skinned giant's cranium, taking it down in one fell swop.

This has been a pattern for the past few days, months, years? It was hard to track time without a day and night cycle...just fires everywhere the eye could see and a red sky above with a perpetual full moon in orbit.

The second clue for his alive status was the fact that he could still get fatigued and well...bleed. He glanced at tear on his pants from one of his first encounter with the natives of this firey hell, It had long ago healed thanks to the Nine tails chakra. They had caught him in ambush with their overwhelming numbers, however, he managed take them down with his overwhelming speed and Flying Thunder God technique. They weren't much trouble for him at the time —or even now— but he desperately needed to recover his chakra and get some sleep.

A few hours later

Rumbling was his first warning and the second was the searing heat entering the building. He quickly flickered outside and watched as the beam of fire erased a massive portion of the building he had taken refuge in.

A serpent the size of 15m with razor sharp fangs and glowing yellow eyes glared furiously at Minato. Seeing the black smoke leaving its mouth clued the yellow flash in at whom fired the flames at him.

'This is really annoying.' he grit his teeth, throwing a kunai with his FTG sealing formula on at its head and teleported. Slashing cleanly through its eye, he stood ten toes on its head as it flailed around in pain, using chakra to maintain his balance. Jumping off, he managed to pierce its underbelly with his three pronged kunai whilst sliding down to break his fall. He had bisected the serpent in half by the time he reached the ground.

The serpent's death only prompted more monsters to begin appearing out of nowhere. Minato seeing that the numbers weren't in his favor reached into his pouch for some smoke bombs to make the encounter more in his favor. Finding only two he figured it would have to do and let them hit the floor causing a column of smoke to rise up obscuring his figure.

Two kunai left the smoke aiming right for the group of monsters ahead. Once they were close enough he teleported and slashed, teleported to his other kunai and slashed. He continued to do this until all his enemies were vanquished and all they had seen before their deaths was a flash of yellow.

Standing over piles and piles of corpses, a depressing thought trickled to the forefront of Minato's weary mind.

'This is my new home it would seem...'

"That light?" Minato murmured under his breath. It was definitely a new development. There was a huge beam of light that shone down on one of the tallest towers in this hell, Minato had crane his neck up just view the entire of its scale even from so far away.

Something had changed and he could feel it in his bones. Closing his eyes and expanding his senses he was able to spot several energy signatures convening towards his location at high speeds meaning that the monsters had discerned his presence despite his best attempts at concealing it.

"The numbers are doable. Especially now that I've recovered more of my chakra."

Rising up from his cross legged stance he moved out the demolished building he had taken refuge in and body flickered from rooftop to rooftop at ridiculous speeds. If someone were to try and spot him all they would see would be a yellow flash.

Standing a top a building, his white hokage cape fluttering in the hot wind, looking down on the demon dog thing secluded from the rest, it would be his first target.

Flickering down, he made his presence known to the demon dog. It wasted no time charging towards with its canines barred. His sage eyes gazed apathetically at the mutt, pulling out a singular kunai and meeting the beast head on. It was only a single exchange but afterwards the demon mutt was ripped in half.

The others soon noticed, probably smelling the blood in the air, and pounced on the blonde. However, he was simply too fast and blitzed past all of them without issue. When the demons realized he was out of sight blood sprayed and their heads flew clean off in different directions.

"Now, what is that light all about?"

.

His sage mode had long since dissipated as he made his way towards the golden light in the sky. His body flicker technique making him a blur to any demons looking to strike him down and it wasn't too long before reached the summit of the tower, seconds in fact.

He observed the tower's light sprouting from its summit all the way into the heavens above. Motioning to touch the stream of golden light, "Ah!" he retracted his hand as soon as he made contact with the light, seeing that it gave him third degree burns.

Suddenly, a large shadowy figure emerged from the other side and the blonde had nanoseconds to react before being blown completely off the building. Soaring through the air he swiftly rotated his body and used his fine mastery of chakra control to stick to the high-rise office window opposite the massive tower he'd been launched away from.

'What's going on here?' Minato thought in alarm as waves of dark shadows burst forth from the light and started scampering across the streets below eliminating any and every demon in sight. His senses picking up on a distinct feeling of death their energies gave off.

It was an unholy sight to behold as he watched the slaughter fest from his vantage point. The demons didn't stand a chance against whatever these shadows of death were and it wasn't long before his senses weren't able to pick up on a single demonic presence.

'What are these creatures? They eliminated, potentially, an entire city of demons in nothing but a few short minutes!' he thought, before he was forced off his vantage point by another shadow monster attacking him from above.

As he fell through the air he was able to twist his body in such a fashion as to land gracefully on the ground. He surveyed the area as the shadows converged on his location, surrounding him completely. The Yellow Flash of Konoha knew the numbers weren't in his favour, but that was never an issue for him back in the day and things certainly didn't change now.

Moments later a tall handsome black-haired youth landed on the ground in front of Minato. He wore a brown jacket and a black shirt underneath with dark jeans and shoes on. He was flanked by a tall, dark knight with a red accessory on its helmet fluttering in the dry wind, and an even taller, bulker knight carrying a shield the height of Minato and a massive axe. 

"You don't look like a demon to me," the black-haired youth stated as matter of fact. His apathetic gray eyes shifting to a similar glowing blue hue of the shadows surrounding them.

"Can't say that I am," Minato replied smoothly, his body tense and ready to strike at moments notice.

"Who are you?" the youth questioned. "I'm Minato Namikaze, but that probably doesn't mean anything to you."

"You're right," he agreed easily. The shadows surrounding both of them quickly pulled in towards the youth, leaving only the two knights standing next to him, as the rest nestled within his shadow.

'His summons then...' the blonde concluded, 'To able to control that many at the same time... This man is clearly not to be underestimated.' Not that he planned on doing so.

"Who are you?" this time it was Minato that wanted to know the identity of the youth.

"Sung Jin Woo."
