Chapter forty two: Power of the question.

"Hell yeah!" – talks.

'The art is a blast!' – thoughts.

"Know your role!" – Yamato/Renellion.

"Katsu!" – demonic/jutsu.

...

River Country…

"And that's all I've got to say about that!"

BANG.

Silence.

Haruno Sakura simply stood in silence with no idea of what to do. It has all dawned on her in one moment. Their victory was short-lived. Naruto is back, Kumogakure was obviously already destroyed, and the peace didn't last for even a year. And now…

"Sakura?"

The kunoichi turned around hearing Sasuke's voice.

"Sakura, you…" He stopped in mid-sentence noticing the look on her face. "Did something happen?"

Unable to hold it in any longer, Sakura fell to her knees now crying openly.

"Sakura!" Sasuke quickly ran to her side. "What's wrong with you, what happened?"

"Sob… It's him, Sasuke…" She managed to say between her sobs. "He's alive… He's back…"

Uchiha's eyes widened. He didn't even need to guess who she was talking about. Only one person could get that kind of reaction out of Sakura.

"Where is he?"

"K-Kumo… sob… He… sob… he destroyed it."

'Rebellion?'

"It's just as I have feared…" The demon blade replied.

'But why didn't you warn me?!' Sasuke shouted at his sword mentally.

"Because I had no chance of knowing for sure."

'Wait! That means he killed the Supreme Overlord!' The Uchiha concluded.

"I'm afraid so…" Rebellion stated.

'But how is that possible? I thought he was some kind of unbeatable bastard.'

"It looks like Uzumaki Naruto has found the way… Perhaps I might even know that way…"

'What is it?'

"No matter. I'm more worried about why he left Yamato behind… and why he was hiding all this time. Perhaps… Oh no!"

'W-What?' Sasuke asked. The way Rebellion's voice sounded didn't promise anything good.

"Try to summon, now!"

'But…'

"Do it! I fear the situation is even worse than I believed at first!"

"Tch." The Uchiha stood up.

"Sasuke?" Sakura raised her head to look at him with her teary eyes.

"Just a second, I have to check on something." He did several handseals. "Kuchiose no jutsu!"

A puff of smoke and… nothing.

'What the…?'

"Try again."

"Kuchiose no jutsu!"

PUFF.

Still nothing.

'What is the meaning of this, Rebellion?!' The Uchiha shouted.

"Dammit!" The demon blade cursed. "How couldn't I realize this?!"

'Realize what?!'

"Yamato. It's a special sword. It can…"

'Yeah, yeah!' Sasuke interrupted. 'I know it can open the Hell Gate, right?'

"Right… But it can also seal it off."

"Say what?!" Sasuke shouted out loud.

"S-Sasuke…" Sakura muttered worriedly. "What is…?"

"Wait a minute, Sakura." He interrupted. 'What do you mean it can seal it off? Why didn't you tell me that sooner?!'

"It's a long forgotten information." Rebellion stated. "Besides, everyone believed Uzumaki to be dead; I never even thought he could plan all of this…"

"Dammit!" Sasuke broke the nearby table with his fist, making Sakura gasp in fear. 'What about my inability to summon?'

"I'm afraid it's not just you…" The sword commented. 'Try to think about it, Yamato was retrieved a month ago. Uzumaki had all this time to do with the Netherworld as he pleases…"

Sasuke's eyes widened. 'Do you think… ?'

"Yes, his reappearance can only mean one thing. He destroyed the clans."

"Shit!" The Uchiha cursed.

Sakura touched his shoulder reluctantly. "Were you having a conversation with Rebellion?"

"Yes." Sasuke replied simply without turning around to look at her.

"What…" The kunoichi took a deep breath. "What did it say?"

"It says that Naruto has destroyed the Summon Clans."

Sakura gasped again, now covering her mouth with her hands.

"I'm sorry…" Sasuke spoke again. "But it looks like our little vacation is over."

Sakura nodded her head hesitantly. "A-Alright. I will prepare the portal to Konoha and…"

"No." Sasuke interrupted her.

"Why not, Sasuke-kun?" She asked.

"If Naruto is back, then Tsunade won't be able to do a shit about it." He stated. "We need the Order…"

"B-But…"

"Sakura." Sasuke quickly turned around and grabbed her by the shoulder. "It's freakin' Naruto! This is not a human's job, and you know it! I know your loyalties are to your master and Konoha, but right now we need Order's power. Only with its help we'll be able to stop him once and for all!"

"I…"

"Do you trust me?"

Sakura nodded slowly. "I trust you. Very well, I will prepare the portal to Suna. Be ready in thirty minutes…"

Konohagakure no sato. Hokage's office…

"You're kidding, right?" One Hatake Kakashi asked in disbelief.

"Please, Tsunade-sama…" Nara Shikaku spoke. "Tell us it's just a bad joke…"

"Quiet!" The fuming Hokage shouted. "Stop acting like fucking children! Naruto is alive, accept it."

"Hmm…" Danzou exclaimed. "This is… disturbing. We must evaluate our situation very carefully."

"Yes, you're right." Tsunade replied. "But first… Shizune!"

"Hai, Tsunade-sama?"

"Did you get the information about Kumo?"

Shizune hesitated. "I… I'm sorry Tsunade-sama, but…"

"But what?"

"I couldn't do it…"

"Why?"

"The portal… It's not working."

"Dammit." Tsunade said and sat back in her chair. "I guess we are too late then…"

"Yes, I believe Kumo is already destroyed." Danzou confirmed with a nod.

"You can't be sure." Kakashi replied. "Perhaps we should…"

"Enough, Kakashi." The Hokage interrupted him. "This is Naruto we're talking about so there is no place for maybes or perhaps'."

"Tch." The masked jounin spat. "So what should we do now?"

Tsunade sighed. "That's what I want to know… Shikaku?"

Silence.

"Oi, Shikaku!"

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama…" Nara spoke for the first time since her confirmation of Naruto's return.

"Get a hold of yourself." She commanded. "I know you're upset, but…"

"Upset?!" Usually calm jounin snapped at her. "That… thing took away my only son! When you announced his death there was no happier man than me! But right now? Oh no, I'm happy that he's back… For now I have the chance to kill him myself!"

"Calm down, Shikaku." Tsunade said dangerously. "This is no time to give in to anger! I believe the situation is even worth than we thought…"

"What's on your mind?" Danzou asked.

"Kuchiose no jutsu!"

PUFF.

Nothing.

"That's what."

"Wait a second…" Kakashi did several handseals. "Kuchiose no jutsu!"

Still nothing.

"Dammit, I thought only I had these problems…" The masked jounin stated.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow. "You noticed it before? When?"

"About five days ago." Kakashi replied. "I lost… well my book and wanted to summon Pakkun for help…"

"And it didn't work." Shikaku concluded.

"Yeah."

"This isn't good." The Hokage said.

"But what could've caused this?"

"I thought about it already." Tsunade stated. "And taking in the fact that Naruto was alive all this time…" She sighed. "I'm afraid we won't be getting any help from the summons in the near future…"

"So… what are your orders, Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked.

The slug princess gritted her teeth in anger.

'Just go away and die!' She thought.

"Ha, that's the spirit! Ditch these fools and go find Naruto! Maybe he'll even forgive you and let you once again ride that big fat…"

'Shut up!'

"Oh, come on now! We both know it's true!" Tsunade's inner voice exclaimed. "You have a twenty year old body, yes. But he is the only one who knows it. That's the reason you're fingering yourself every night instead of…"

'I said shut up! I'm not listening to you!'

"Oh! But I'm listening to you! All the time in fact! And all yours 'Fuck me!' and 'Yes, harder!' too. And you know what; it's kind of annoying…"

Tsunade just clenched her fist silently.

"How long are you gonna keep denying yourself because of your grandfather's ideals?!"

'This is not about grandfather!' The Hokage snapped.

"Then what?! Or perhaps the big bad Slug Princess is just afraid to cross the line of no return?"

Silence.

"That's the case, isn't it?! Guess what that makes you?! A coward!"

"Umm… Tsunade-sama?"

"What?!" She snapped.

"I… I asked about your orders…" Kakashi said reluctantly.

"Gh… What do you think, Danzou?"

"As I already said, this is very disturbing." The old war hawk responded. "If Uzumaki was able to take out a strong village like Kumo by himself, then we have no chance to even drive him off by normal means."

"Danzou speaks the truth." Shikaku added. "Not only Kumo forces, but many of our, Suna and Iwa soldiers were there because of the event. And all that was still not enough. I think I will be correct if I say we're all thinking the same thing…" He paused. "We need the Order."

'I still don't like that fucking Order…' Tsunade thought. "Fine then. Danzou, this one's yours. You go to Suna and deal with those religious freaks. They are too much for me."

"As you wish, Hokage-sama." The old man nodded.

"You two, go with him." She continued. "No doubt he will strike Suna next. Try to help any way you can."

"Hai!"

"Alright, dismissed!"

Three men bowed and left the office.

'Grr, damn it all!' Tsunade thought, smacking her desk. 'Why couldn't he win that time?! At least it would've been over already…'

"Oh? Want another easy way out?"

For once the Hokage didn't snap. 'You said it yourself, I have a twenty year old body… But my mind is still the same. And I'm tired… really tired.'

"Then what's your damn problem?! You want an easy way out? Then take an easy way out! Or maybe you want to fight him again?"

'No… No, I don't.'

"Then stop caring for others and think about yourself! For once dammit!"

"…"

Remains of Kumogakure no sato…

"Damn, this shit was tight." Hanabi stated, sitting down on a scorched stone.

"Not really." Naruto replied. "But it will be so shortly, if you won't cover yourself."

Hanabi looked down at herself. "Oh…" She smiled sheepishly. Her clothes could barely cover her body after the sudden 'growth' she went through mere minutes ago. "So, what now?"

"Why do you ask?" The demon responded. "Don't you know my true goal?!"

"Umm… no?"

"Shame on you!" Naruto raised his right hand to the sky. "We are going to be the defenders of peace and justice!"

Silence.

"What?"

"Says a guy, who just slaughtered several thousands of people for no apparent reason…" Kurenai said sweatdropping.

"You know…" Alucard began. "Even if I didn't know you plan, I would've never believed that."

"Oh, come on now, people!" Naruto exclaimed. "What's wrong with justice?"

"EVERYTHING!"

"Geez…" Naruto took an unconscious step back. "Okay, okay I got it. We'll stick with killing everyone and… cover yourself, dammit!"

Hanabi snorted. "With what?! Look around, you destroyed everything!"

Naruto looked around. "Shit… Sorry, my bad. It's just kind of hard to concentrate. After all, I had no sex since what… Carmilla's palace?" He asked, glancing at Alucard.

"Nah." The vampire responded. "It was since the Kitsune Clan. Nice try on their part, but they should have known who they're dealing with."

"True… but at least I have no doubts that you're a man…"

"Quite a praise…"

"AHEM!"

Naruto turned his head. There were Kurenai and Hanabi... with annoyed scowls on their faces.

"What?"

"What's the story with Kitsune clan?" Kurenai asked.

Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Well, I don't think you will find that interesting…"

"Geez, spill it out already!" Hanabi exclaimed, rolling her eyes.

"Fine, fine…" The Overlord waved his hand dismissively. "Okay now, long story short, after the summons finally realized that myself and this guy here are whopping their candy asses out, every Clan tried to pull out something in order to stop us. Well foxes… for the lack of better word tried to fuck us to death…"

Kurenai and Hanabi folded their arms.

"Oh, come on now!" Naruto to justify himself. "They… They had foxy ears! Yeah, and… and… oh, and a fluffy tails! It was so kawai…"

"That even I couldn't hold myself." Alucard finished for him. "And that's saying something."

Kurenai smirked. "Why are you apologizing, we weren't accusing you of anything. Right, Hanabi?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Oh…?"

"Sure." Said girl replied. "In fact, after two months I was so horny that I could've settled for that guy who guarded our cell! In fact, I didn't do it only because… well, I used my byakugan on him and he was not up to my standards… if you know what I mean."

"You bet your ass I do." Kurenai stated. "So who is this Carmilla character you mentioned?"

"Well…" The Overlord began, but Hanabi interrupted him.

"No, wait a second!" She spoke. "I want to hear the entire story from the moment we parted!"

Naruto sweatdropped. "That's a damn long story…"

"I don't care." Hanabi stated. "I'm not moving my ass one bit until I hear it all."

"Yeah, me neither." Kurenai nodded.

"Damn, you were right." Alucard said. "They are stubborn."

Naruto sighed. "You don't realize how much. After all, they faced the wrath of three Kage level shinobis and a whole hidden village just to save my ungrateful ass." He paused. "Fine, you want the fucking story, I'll tell you the fucking story! Just don't complain in the end… which probably won't happen until next morning…"

Flashback…

"Ah, so you're the Supreme Overlord!" Naruto said. It was a statement, not a question.

"Indeed I am." Baal responded.

"And you came here to kill me right?"

"Indeed I am."

"Oh, but you can't do that!"

"Indeed I… Why not?"

Naruto smirked. "Simple, I'm the main character. And if you kill me this story is dead."

Baal fell on his knees. "Oh, I'm so sorry, Naruto-sama! How could I be such an idiot and not see that, your logic is unquestionable! Please take my soul as a sign of my apology and continue with your quest! I know you will win in the end because you're so strong and wise and determined…"

End flashback…

"…and awesome and powerful…"

Massive sweatdrop…

"What?"

"Hmhmhm…" Alucard chuckled. "Heh, actually I like this version better, couldn't you make it a little more… colorful? Work on your damn imagination."

"You know…" Hanabi started. "That was probably the biggest pile of bullshit I have ever heard in my entire life…"

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "That obvious?"

"You mean before or after he called you Naruto-sama?" Kurenai asked back sarcastically.

Naruto sighed. "Oh, come on guys. That was long story short; do you really want me to tell you everything about cutting, explosions and screams?"

"YES!" Hanabi and Kurenai screamed.

"Nah, I'd rather not…" Alucard said quietly… but when two girls turned to him with murdering intent in their eyes… "Then again, I don't think you really care about my opinion.…"

Kurenai smiled warmly. "Good man." She turned to Naruto. "Now…?"

"Damn woman… Alright, alright!"

Real flashback…

"So you're the Supreme Overlord."

"Indee I am."

'Damn it.' Naruto thought. 'I hoped he'd say otherwise…'

"Tough luck, pal." Yamato stated. "Looks like you are really fucked this time."

'Thanks, Mr. Obvious!'

"You're welcome. Now what are you gonna do?"

'Well, there is one idea…' Naruto looked at Baal. "So you came here to kill me, right?"

"Yes." Baal responded and Naruto noticed with wide eyes that he's not even moving his lips.

'Shit! The fucker is talking directly to my mind! Maybe he can hear us as well?'

"I doubt it." Yamato replied. "He's only forcing his thoughts into your mind and… I don't think he actually cares about what you think."

'I hope it's like you say…' Naruto thought. "Hey, um… You know, I'm a little tired right about now. Can't you return later?"

"No." Baal responded. "I have awakened for the sole purpose of destroying you and I won't stop until I fulfill it."

"Don't you want to fight me at my full power?"

"I don't care about your power. I'm not here to test the extent of your strength; I'm here to kill you."

Naruto gritted his teeth. 'Stuborn bastard!'

"Now what?" Yamato asked.

The blond smirked. 'What do you think?! I'm not going down without a fight!' He then immediately teleported in front of the Supreme Overlord and unleashed his sword. But when the sword hit the chest…

CLANG.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me…" Naruto stated with wide eyes when his blade didn't even leave a scratch on Baal's body.

"What the fuck?!" Yamato exclaimed. "I can cut through anything!"

'Not anymore I guess… Oh shit!' Naruto quickly teleported again to escape a sword, which descended on him from the sky.

"Good that you're accepting your fate, Uzumaki Naruto." Baal stated. "Now let us fight."

With that another sword descended on Naruto, but this time he decided to simply sidestep it instead of teleporting… big mistake.

BLAST.

The sword exploded, throwing already wounded blond backwards.

"Cough… Cough… Shit, that was tough." Naruto muttered. "A couple of these, and I will be done for… no choice…"

"I see you have finally decided to take it seriously." Baal said, watching how Naruto turned into his released form.

But when the transformation ended… Naruto suddenly fell to one knee.

'Damn it! I'm still too weak after the battle…'

"So you spoke the truth, you are in a bad shape… This is unfortunate for you. Sword Rain."

"Fuck!" Naruto yelled, using his wings to escape the incoming barrage of descending swords. "Double fuck! They're catching up to me!"

"What did you expect?! He's the Supreme Overlord."

"Shut up!Byakurai!"

A beam of white light hit Baal's chest and… no result, just like last time.

"Motherfucker!"

"Do you really think such weak attacks can do any damage to me?" Baal asked in amusement.

"Maybe not, but I won't stop until they do!" Naruto replied, continuing to dodge exploding swords. 'Son of a bitch! He didn't even lift a finger yet!'

"Wait a second!" Yamato interrupted his thoughts.

"I said shut up! Can't you see that I'm busy?! Hadou #54 Haien!"

This time it was a wave of purple flame… but the result was still the same.

"Fucking asshole!"

"Wait, Naruto! You see that you need something stronger this time."

"I'm not blind, you imbecile!"

"Then what the fuck are you waiting for?!" Yamato yelled. "What Instant Kill techniques do you have in your arsenal?!"

Naruto looked at Baal and his eyes widened in acknowledgement. "I owe you one, pal!" He stated, diving straight at the Supreme Overlord.

"What are you trying to do, Uzumaki Naruto?" Baal asked when Naruto stopped right in front of him.

Said demon grinned. "Laziness is a bad thing, thanks for not moving, pal!" He said and brought his glowing green right hand in front of Baal's face. "Soul Drain!"

1 second… 2, 3, 4… nothing…

"I-Impossible…"

"You actually thought that would work? You are a fool, Uzumaki Naruto, weak and fearful." With that Baal's body glowed and Naruto was thrown backwards by an unknown force.

"Guah!" The blond demon landed hard with his back hitting the ground.

"Gran Sword!" Baal exclaimed and four enormous sword blades appeared around Naruto from beneath the ground in square formation. "I have no idea what he saw in you, but it doesn't matter to me in the end. I came here to kill you, and it's time to do just that."

Naruto slowly raised his head… only to see how four lightnings hit each of the underground blades.

"Aww shit…"

"Farewell, Uzumaki Naruto."

BLAST.

A bright flash of light… and darkness.

?...

"Now check this out! Here's our hero… lying there like a piece of trash. Wake up, jabroni! Haha, I always wanted to call him that… though I still don't know what that means…"

"Moron. Hey, is he gonna wake the fuck up or not?"

"Nah, the lazy son of a bitch won't get up unless… hey! How about a kiss to wake up Cinderella?"

"The Sleeping Beauty, you imbecile!"

"Fuck you, bitch…! What?"

"It's the Sleeping Beauty, not Cinderella who woke up from a kiss!"

"Oh… then who the fuck is Cinderella?"

"Some whore, who was really good at giving head, but was also clumsy as shit. Then she met some looser called 'Prince Charming'… and sucked him dry. And he liked it so much that he wanted to marry her, but she just liked to be a slut too much so she tried to run… But unfortunately for her, she was clumsy enough to trip on her own damn shoe and run into a wall. When Cinderella woke up, the prince told her that they were already married, so…"

"They lived happily ever after?"

"Nah. Actually they both died on their wedding night. The prince was fucked to death and Cinderella kind of messed up her heroin dose…"

"Damn, what a story! Where did you read it?"

"A book named 'Fairy tales: behind the scenes', written by the Great Darthemius... why?"

"I'd like to… hey, the Snow White is up!"

"Damned idiot! I told you two minutes ago that it was the Sleeping Beauty!"

"Right! And what did I say…?"

"You said…!"

"Knock it out, you two. He's really waking up."

Naruto groaned and sat up slowly. "How can I sleep when you…" He opened his eyes and almost had a heart attack. "Y-You…!"

"Surprised to see us?" Yugito asked with a smirk.

"Or maybe the view doesn't please you?" Mei added, matching her friend's expression.

"Do you really think he should be pleased by the sight of me?" Neji asked back.

"Not you, you asshole!" Godaime Mizukage stated.

"Stop insulting me, damn it!"

"You…" Naruto slowly stood up, still deep in shock. "Am I dead?"

Neji smiled. "Sorry, pal. No such luck… But I can finally say that you're a jabroni! Hahahahaha!"

"I'm not dead… then where am I?" Naruto muttered, looking around. There was nothing except him and three people around, only darkness. "And how in the blue hell did you get in here?"

"Well, Naruto…" Neji spoke with all seriousness. "Here is our secret. You see, Namikaze Minato, your father, managed to seal pieces of our souls inside of you along with Kyuubi…"

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Of course not! What, don't tell me you bought this shit, it's ridiculous!"

"Hm… Hmhmhmhahahaha!" The demon laughed. "You know… For a moment… yeah, I did buy it." He sighed. "So, are you going to tell me where am I?"

"That's easy, you're nowhere." Yugito stated.

"Nowhere?"

"Yup." Mei nodded. "We don't know where we are as well. The last thing I remember is that I died, and next second I'm here looking at your unconscious form."

"Yeah, same here." Neji said.

"Well…" Naruto's eyes widened. "Wait, Mei, you're dead?! How, when?!"

"Easy, tiger." The Mizukage raised her hand apologetically. "How I died doesn't matter. You are what matters."

"But…"

"Don't worry, Naruto." Yugito spoke. "Neither of us is blaming you. We all agreed on that. But there is something we must tell you, that's why we're here."

Neji nodded. "Never give up, buddy. For if you do, the world will be just too damn boring."

Mei smiled. "Our hopes and dreams will come with you." She said and their bodies started to become transparent.

"Wait…!" Naruto tried to grab Yugito's hand, but his arm went through hers. "Gh…"

"Don't be sad." She tried to stroke his face. "For even when we will be no more, you will not be alone. You will never stay alone; someone who was always with you is still there. Look around and you will see her…" And with that she was finally gone.

"Bye, tiger. I'll say hello to Trish for you." Mei blew him a kiss and disappeared as well.

"Well, I guess this is it…" Neji said and took out… a cola can. "Till next time pal. Remember, I believe in you… and that's the bottom line, 'cus Neji said so! Hahahahaha!" With that he drank from his can and disappeared just like that.

"Huh…" Naruto looked down and ran a hand through his hair. "Someone who was always with me… Well, thanks a lot guys, but I can't see for shit! All I see is…" His eyes widened. "All I see is…"

"Everyone… has… darkness…"

"Hmhmhm…" Naruto started to chuckle darkly. "Hmhmhmhahahahahahahaha! AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…"

The Netherworld…

"HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Hm?" Baal looked at the cloud of dust and smoke he created with his explosion. "So you didn't die… Strange."

"Strange you say?" Naruto asked in amusement, slowly getting up from the ground. "Nothing strange here, I suddenly realized why you can't kill me… no one can."

"How stupid." Baal stated. "Everyone can be killed, even the gods. And you, I just need to use a little more power than I firstly intended. Gran Sword!"

"Oh, that shit again?"

"Yes, and this time you will not come back."

BLAST.

"Stupid boy. Weak and…"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! And still here!"

Baal still did not move, but his eyes narrowed slightly. "Why didn't you die? The power I used was enough…"

"You still don't get it, do you?" Naruto interrupted. "This is not about power, you idiot! It's about survival! Do you want to know why you didn't kill me with that move of yours?"

"I won't lie. Yes, I do."

"It's because everyone has darkness! Every human, every demon, every god!" Naruto pointed at Baal. "Even you! And as long as this darkness exists, I will keep coming back! Because darkness is always with me! BECAUSE DARKNESS IS WHAT I AM!"

Baal stood in silence for some moments. Finally…

"What… What nonsense!"

Naruto's eyebrows shot up. Why? Simply because Baal said the last sentence with his mouth instead of his mind.

"You claim to be invincible?! You fool! Just a puny mortal who got over his head with stolen power!" The Supreme Overlord shouted. "Fine! I will show you that even darkness can die!"

Four swords appeared around Naruto again… But this time they were three times as big and also they were blazing with fire.

"This will be enough to damage a god! You will be completely obliterated!"

Naruto looked around himself. 'Damn, that's a lot of power. How should I…?'

"It's never too late to ask one last question." Old man's words echoed in his head.

'Hmm, why not?' The blond demon concluded. "Hey, pal! Before you hit me with that crap, can I ask you one last question?"

"Hmm… Very well, ask."

Naruto paused. 'What should I ask? Something useful? Nah, don't need another crap. Something important? I don't really give a shit about anything right now. Then how about something… interesting? Yes, that's it!' He nodded. "Hey, I want the Supreme Overlord's opinion. What do you think art is?"

Baal thought for about two seconds. "What ridiculous question. Art has no meaning, only power does."

Naruto's face twisted in disappointment. "That's what the strongest demon think?! Pathetic, really…" He said just as lightnings hit the underground blades again. "Because everyone knows… that art is a blast!"

And for the first time in their encounter Baal's eyes widened in shock.

His underground blades were not around Naruto… but around Baal himself.

"KATSU!"

BLAST.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! Idiot!" Naruto laughed. "To fall for a stupid trick like this?! Dumb brute! Tons of raw power and no brain whatsoever! You actually remind me of the Raikage…"

"Cough… How… How dare you use my own power against me?!" The Supreme Overlord screamed, getting up from the ground slowly.

"Ho, looks like you really gave it your all in your last attack…" Naruto concluded with a smirk. "As for using your power against you… damn, that was just too damn easy! Far easier than I thought in fact. Some shit about being stronger than you in anything and you immediately went berserk, forgetting all caution."

"You… You coward! A true demon fights with his own strength!" Baal shouted.

"That so? Then the fact that I'm not a demon is very pleasing!"

Baal spat. "This changes nothing! You couldn't hit me, I hit myself! And now I'm going to finish you!"

Naruto's smirk fell and darkness surrounded him and his enemy, blocking everything from sight.

"Unfortunately I can't allow that." He said, switching into his demon form.

"What are you doing?" Baal asked in confusion. In all his life he never saw anything like this.

"Your life is meaningless." Naruto stated, ignoring Baal's question. "You have no purpose; you exist for no reason… So I will give you one…"

Suddenly Yamato in his hand became engulfed in some strange black flame.

"From this day on yourpurpose will be to help me achieve all my goals… AS A PART OF ME!"

Baal glared at his enemy. "This will not happen, mortal! I will not be defeated by the likes of you!"

"Oh? Looks like you are finally starting to take me seriously… Too late for that! BLACK ONSLAUGHT!"

"Everything is useless, UZUMAKI NARUTO! YOU CAN'T HURT ME…!"

SLASH.

Blazing Yamato hit Baal right across Supreme Overlord's chest, creating a deep gash.

"Dah!" Baal gasped in shock and pain.

"Liked that? Take some more!" Naruto shouted, hitting his enemy five more time. "Time to close the curtain!" He grabbed Baal by the face with his left hand. "SOUL DRAIN!"

Unlike last time when Naruto's hand glowed green Baal's soul actually started to leave his body… through the wounds Naruto just inflicted. But…

"Grah!" Baal grabbed Naruto's wrist and began to tear blonde's hand off his face. "You will not have my power!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, Baal's soul tried to resist his technique. And then he noticed…

Another four sword blades appeared from the ground. But this time they were five times bigger than THE LAST ONES!

'Oh shit!' Naruto thought, beginning to panic.

"I will not lose!" Baal shouted. "If that's what it takes, then I'm going to kill both of us!"

Four lightnings struck…

"Dammit, do something!" Yamato screamed. "Take my power, all of it!"

'Then don't mind if I do!' Naruto gritted his teeth. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Yamato in his hand exploded with power. "I ain't dying with you, motherfucker!"

"Strike now!"

"DARK… DESTRUCTION!" Naruto stabbed his demon blade right into Baal's chest and the result exceeded even his expectations.

The Supreme Overlord's body disintegrated… But his soul…

"Got you!" Naruto's hand glowed more intensively and Baal's soul was absorbed in a few moments. "I did…"

"The swords!"

"SHIT!"

BLAST.

An explosion that happened next probably shook the foundation of the Netherworld itself. But…

"Hmhmhm… HAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!" Mad laughter echoed through the area. Mad laughter of one person who stood on his knees at the bottom of a sea-sized crater. "Not yet… I'm not done yet!"

...

Omake: Villain conference. Part two…

Alucard (Appearing in a swarm of bats): "Hey, anybody here?"

Silence.

Alucard: "Darthemius, are you there?"

Silence.

Alucard: "Darth…" (Opening the room door) "Hahahahahahaha!"

Darthemius: "Mmm! Mmm!"

Alucard: "What?"

Darthemius: "Mmm-spat… Untie me, you son of a bitch!"

Alucard: Why are you screaming? You could just say so in the first place."

Darthemius: "No I couldn't, you moron! I had a fucking plug in my mouth!"

Alucard: "Oh…"

Darthemius: "Yeah, oh!" (Getting up) "Thanks."

Alucard: "Who did this to you?"

Darthemius: "That wonder bitch! And when I get to her… Why are you asking that? Scratch that, why are you even here?"

Alucard (Grinning): "Ha! I have found him!"

Darthemius (Raising an eyebrow): "Who?"

Alucard: "Edward Cullen!"

Darthemius (Raising second eyebrow): "Who…? Oh, right. So, why are you telling me this?"

Alucard: "Because I want you to see firsthand how brutal and bad I can be!" (Grabbing Darthemius's arm and starting to disappear) "You shall witness their death by my hand!"

Darthemius (Trying to shrug Alucard's hand off in panic): "No, wait! I'm not…!"

Overpopulated street…

Alucard (Appearing in a swarm of bats alongside Darthemius): "He's here somewhere. We need to…"

Suddenly…

CRASH.

Several cars hit each other on the road.

Many young girls: "KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Older women (With a blush on their faces): "Oh my…"

Men: "Damn…"

Alucard: "Why are they staring at us?"

Darthemius (Barely containing his anger): "Who knows…? Perhaps it is because they just saw two guys appearing in the middle of the street out of nowhere. Maybe they know you're a vampire and wondering why are you not shining or disappearing… Or maybe… just maybe… they are staring at us because I'M STILL FUCKING NAKED!"

Alucard (Glancing at Darthemius): "Ahaha, umm… ups?"

Darthemius: "I'll show you ups! I'll…!"

Alucard: "Oh, I sense his presence!" (Grabbing Darthemius's hand)

Darthemius: "No, not again…!"

Dark alleyway…

Darthemius: "Stop doing that, jabroni, and give me your fucking cloak!"

Alucard: "What for?"

Darthemius (Snapping): "To cover myself, you idiot!"

Alucard: "Oh, alright…"

Darthemius (Wrapping Alucard's cloak around himself): "Imbecile…"

?: "Edward, I heard voices! They are coming from there!"

Edward: "That will probably be stupid… But since we are stupid heroes of a dumb novel, we just have to check it out."

Alucard (Happily): "It's him!"

Edward Cullen: "Here they are, Bella!"

Isabella: "It seems so… Hey! I know you! You're Darthemius, right?"

Darthemius (Raising an eyebrow): "Eh?"

Edward: "Yeah, you host your own show! I voted for Aizen by the way! He's tough!"

Bella: "Yeah, and I voted for Wesker! I just looooove his sunglasses!"

Darthemius: "Umm…"

Bella: "Can you give me an autograph? Come on, sign my belly!"

Darthemius: "Well…"

Alucard: "Hmhmhm… You know him, right? I guess that means you know who I am as well."

Edward: "Actually no. Who are you?"

Alucard (In anger): "I am Alucard! No-life-king! I'm the strongest vampire there is and I'm going to kill you!"

Bella (Stepping in front of Edward with wide eyes): "I won't let you do that! You'll have to kill me first!"

Alucard (Taking out his gun): "Move, girl!"

Bella: "No! You'll have to get through my cold dead body!"

Alucard (Gritting his teeth): "Don't test my patience, girl!"

Bella: "No!"

Edward: "You truly love me, Bella…"

Darthemius (Rolling his eyes): "You owe me for that, jabroni."

Alucard: "What are you doing?"

Darthemius (Walking to Edward's right): "Oi, face this way!" (Spreading his cloak)

Bella (With wide eyes): "Wow…" (Taking a step forward)

BANG.

Edward's brains are decorating the wall.

Bella: "Edward, no!"

Darthemius: "Oi, I said face this way."

Bella: "Oh my god… is this real?"

Darthemius (With sarcasm): "No, I ordered it on the internet!"

Alucard: "Ha! I did it! I did it! Who's the villain now?!"

Darthemius: Well… actually that wasn't very brutal. Mikoto versus her family? THAT was brutal! And… ouch! Don't bite, dammit!"

Bella: "Sorry, it's my first time doing that… mmm…"

Darthemius: "Anyway, are you happy now, or there is another jabroni you want to kill?"

Alucard: "I don't care as long as I'm getting into your show."

Darthemius: "Well, let's see how people will react to that and… O… Wait a second." (Pulling Bella's head closer) "Oooooooyyyyeeeeeaaaaahhhh! Hah, damn that felt nice."

Bella (Licking her lips): "Really?"

Darthemius: "Yeah… somewhat."

Bella (With lit up eyes): "I knew it!"

Darthemius (Taking a step backwards): "What?"

Bella: "I knew that we are destined to be together!"

Darthemius: "Excuse me?"

Bella: Yes, we're gonna have sex! And then we're gonna marry! And then…!"

Darthemius (To Alucard): "Umm… Do something, will ya?"

Alucard shrugged.

BANG.

Bella (Falling on her knees with a hole in her chest): "Ah!"

Darthemius: "Why did you do that for?"

Alucard: "Duh, you wanted me to do something."

Darthemius: "Well, I didn't mean to that extreme…"

Alucard (Sighing): "Fine, I'll fix this." (Kneeling in front of Bella) "But I'd better get into your show after that!"

The studio…

Staff member: "Get the hell out of here you… Oh, Mr. Darthemius! I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. Umm… Why are you dressed like this?"

Darthemius (Walking past him): "No comment."

Twenty minutes later…

Darthemius: "Finally, I'm dressed again! Now the only thing that's left is to find that…"

Diana: "Darthy!"

Darthemius: "BITCH!" (Taking out his gun) "I've got you now, bitch!"

BANG.

Diana (Dodging the bullet): "Hah, missed me!"

Hidan (From security seat): "Fuck, that hurt! Shoot some more!"

Darthemius: "Hold still, dammit!"

Diana: "Nope! Stop that already." (Forcing Darthemius's hand down) "You know you won't kill me, you love my ass too much."

Darthemius: "I will quickly forget about it if you won't stop interrupting my author's notes! Don't you get it? These are AUTHOR's notes, not the main character's!"

Diana: "Tell that to Naruto."

Darthemius: "Oh yeah! I will tell his fucking ass that I…"

Operator: "We're on the air!"

Darthemius: "I am very happy to see you all tonight!"

Diana: "Yes, as you remember we are having a grand competition among the villains of all times. Here are our participants from the last show: Uchiha Madara!"

Madara: "Hn."

Diana: "Aizen Sousuke!"

Aizen: "Good evening. Want some tea?"

Diana: "And Albert Wesker!"

Silence.

Darthemius: "Umm… Wesker?"

Silence.

Darthemius: "Where the 'CENSORED' is that 'CENSORED'?!"

Darthemius's cell phone: "I have voices in my head…"

Darthemius: "Yeah? Wesker?! Where the 'CENSORED'…? What? No, Jill is not here…"

Wesker (Appearing from behind the curtain): "Sorry about that…"

Darthemius (Sighing): "Anyway, here are…"

Madara: "Wait a 'CENSORED' second!"

Darthemius: "What is it?"

Madara: "Tell us who is winning first!"

Darthemius: "Do you really want to know?"

Crowd: "YES!"

Darthemius (Waving his hand): "Fine, fine! Aizen is winning."

Madara: "Shinigami 'CENSORED'…"

Aizen: "Thank you."

Madara: "That ain't fair! I deserve to be leading!"

Darthemius: "Sorry, pal. Aizen is just more handsome."

Wesker: "Hey, I'm handsome too! How come I'm not winning?"

Aizen: "I have a sword that is a part of myself."

Wesker: "And I have a gun that is made especially for me!"

Aizen: "I mastered Hogyoku!"

Wesker: "And I mastered Uroboros!"

Aizen: "You died!"

Wesker (After a pause): "Touché…"

Darthemius: "Can we please move on?"

Silence.

Darthemius: "Finally! Now… who the 'CENSORED' is our first guest?"

Diana: "Oh! It is the dark emperor of the far away galaxy! Please welcome, Darth Sidious!"

Sidious appearing while the imperial march is playing.

Crowd: "All hail lord Sidious!"

Sidious: "Thank you, thank you! I'm signing autographs on Sunday!"

Darthemius: "Please take a seat, Emperor. Now, public wants to know, what did you feel after you successfully destroyed the jedi order?"

Sidious: "What do you think, Darth?! I was laughing of course! I mean come on, ancient Sith tried to do that for generations and I was just "Execute order 66" and wham! All jedis are 'CENSORED'! All that remained was that Snoby-Chan and that damn frog!"

Darthemius: "Frog?"

Sidious: "Yoda. Damn, have you seen how he fights? 'CENSORED'! How did he manage to NOT cut off his 'CENSORED' ears during our fight is still beyond my imagination!"

Darthemius: "What about Darth Vader?"

Sidious: "Who?"

Darthemius: "Skywalker."

Sidious: "That moron? What about him? Well, he was the subject of my pranks his entire life and…"

Darthemius: "Excuse me, pranks?"

Sidious: "Sure! Look at this, he could have a nice and even somewhat comfortable life, but I just went and said: "You will be a jedi, Anakin!" And there he was 'CENSORED' once. Then ten years later he was still a useless loser, but I was pretty bored so I said: "Hey, how about guarding your beloved Padla…" or Padma… or… whatever the 'CENSORED' her name was. Of course I knew he had hots for her. But he was a jedi! No-no! Sex is forbidden… imbeciles. Well, of course he was a weakling, so he ended up having a wife and a baby… loser. And there he was 'CENSORED' twice. Then I told Dooku to cut him up a little, and he did cut off kid's arm. I was hoping for something better, but arm was fine with me at that time. And there he was 'CENSORED' thrice! Then I went and said: "Hey, you will be my representive in the jedi council! Of course I knew they won't accept that. It was a good laugh when I watched kid's reaction. That was the fourth time. Then I called him and said: "Hey, buddy! Do you know that your wife is gonna croak soon?" And he said "What?" I said: "Your wife is gonna croak, dipshit! Comprende?" And he was still dumbstruck, so he said: "What?" I rolled my eyes and finally understood that he simply can't understand what I'm sayind, so I said: "Your wife is going to die, Anakin! But have no fear, Sith is here…! I mean Together we will save her!" And he was like: "Oh, my master! I will do anything for you, even suck off Yoda!"

Darthemius: "Did he… really said that?"

Sidious: "Nah, but I read his thoughts, and everything was there. That was five. Then I said: "Go kill the jedi and I will give you a candy!" He said: "Sure, why not." And thus proud Darth Vader ended up killing many weak children… Damn failure… Anyway, that was six. Then was the best! Remember this (In mocking voice) "You underestimate my power!" Haha, sure, that was his last words before he lost his balls…"

Diana: "I thought he lost his legs…"

Sidious: "Well, they weren't fitting in the costume, so…"

CROWD: "Owww!"

Sidious: "Yeah, that was my masterpiece! I mean hell, when I saw him lying there like a piece of trash that he was, at first I wanted to simply laugh like an imbecile, rolling on the ground. But hey, people were watching, so I couldn't do that. Next thing I wanted is to push him down into that lava river… But then it came to me! Why kill him, when I will be able to prank him more in the future! So I decided to save him… and it turned out to be the best prank ever! I mean look at this metal arms and legs and his annoying "Pshhh!" Hahahaha! I mean come on! Everyone knew he was around because of that "Pshhh!" The funniest part was watching him to go to toilet. 'CENSORED'! The entire Death Star garrison was laughing at this! And even in the end he couldn't do it right! I mean sure, I planned the whole thing, but…"

Darthemius: "Wait a second, you planned your own death? Are you what, Dumbledore?"

Sidious: "Hey, don't insult me, buddy! I grew up on the street! Besides, who said that I'm dead?"

Darthemius (With raised eyebrow): "You're not?"

Sidious: "Of course not! I learned the most important rule in my long life. Always hit the deck before you're stabbed in the back. So I created a situation when that loser's only option will be to throw me down the reactor… where I already had a special elevator waiting for me. Few visual effects, and there you have it! The evil emperor is dead and the peace has come! Now I'm enjoying the remains of my life on Kamino… where I already cloned the hottest top models of all the time, and actually thinking about opening a brothel."

Crowd: CLAP. CLAP. CLAP.

Darthemius: "Yeah, that was one hell of a story! Thank you very much, emperor."

Sidious: "Don't mention it, buddy… By the way, here is my card. When I open my business, be sure to visit."

Darthemius: "Sure thing! Now it's finally time to introduce our second guest! From the depths of Lifestream! Please welcome, Sephiroth!"

Sephiroth entered gracefully while "One-winged-angel" was playing.

Crowd: "SEPHY!"

Sephiroth: "Thank you for inviting me. I didn't have a job offer in a long time, so I was somewhat bored."

Darthemius: "You're welcome. Tell us, Sephiroth, why did you go insane?"

Sephiroth (Raising an eyebrow): "Went insane? Me?"

Darthemius: "Didn't you?"

Sephiroth (Snorting): "Oh course not!"

Diana: "B-But your actions at Nibelheim…"

Sephiroth: "What's a Nibelheim?"

Darthemius: "A village you burned."

Sephiroth: "Pu-ulease! I burned countless villages!"

Darthemius: "Well, it was… Ah! It was where you learned about Jenova!"

Sephiroth (Nodding): "Ah, that place… I burnt it down?"

Darthemius: "You don't remember?"

Sephiroth: "Nah, not really. I mean come on, I wanted to leave Shin-ra, so I decided to do it with a bang and have my fun one more time."

Darthemius: "And Jenova?"

Sephiroth: "Oh, well… that was to get rid of fangirls."

Darthemius: "Say what?"

Fangirls: "SEPHY!"

Sephiroth (Pointing): "See that?! That's not even half-bad actually! It was far worse before! So I decided, hell, if I was a crazy lunatic with a god complex, they would surely leave me alone. So I thought for a while and devised this Jenova plan, where I would go crazy and kill everyone, saying "I am a god!" Next I went to the reactor and cut off that Jenova's head… I don't know, I just felt like it. And then… well…"

Diana: "What happened?"

Sephiroth: "Well, it was the greatest 'CENSORED' up in my entire life."

Darthemius: "Sure, to get beaten by a recruit…"

Sephiroth (In anger): "Who got beaten by a recruit?! It wasn't like that! In fact, every story told was wrong! In Final Fantasy VII they said that some spiky 'CENSORED' dropped me down, using my own sword. Are they stupid or what?! I would've just let it go! Then in some anime they said that I jumped down myself… As if I don't have better things to do! The reality is…"

Darthemius: "What?"

Sephiroth (Blushing): "Well, I had Jenova's head in my hand, remember? And there was some slippery liquid flowing out of it. So when I was about to remove that spiky 'CENSORED's head, I just… I slipped, dammit! I slipped and fell down! But hey, it all turned out alright! I mean, I got to be a god in the end! Not that I really wanted, but…"

?: "How dare you!"

Darthemius: "What? Light? It was not your time to come out…"

Light (Glaring at Sephiroth): "How dare you! I have a death note! That makes me a god!"

Wesker: "'CENSORED' you all! I am the only god!"

Sephiroth: "And you called me crazy? Come on, I was only killing people for fun! What's so crazy in that?"

Darthemius: "Nothing I guess… Well anyway, since you're here, Light, tell us. What are your most villainous achievements?"

Light: "What?! Villain?! But I am good! I wanted to make the world better!"

Pause…

Wesker, Madara, Aizen, Sephiroth and Sidious: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Light: "What's so funny?!"

Sidious: "Sure, kid! We all wanted to make the world better! I for example wanted to control the entire galaxy with fear so wars could stop.

Wesker: "Yeah, I tried to bring evolution to the planet! No ill intentions!"

Madara: "Hell, I'm even fighting to create peace!"

Light: "But… But…"

Darthemius: "Okay, seeing how Light is having a breakdown, I think it's time to give people keywords!"

Diana: "Right! If you wish to vote for Darth Sidious, send EMPEROR to the number on your screen!"

Darthemius: "And if your favorite villain is Sephiroth, send SEPHY…"

SLASH.

Darthemius: "O-Okay, send JENOVA…"

Silence…

Darthemius: "Right, Send JENOVA! And if you wish to vote for Yagami Light, send NOTE!"

Diana: "Okay then! See you next week!"

Operator: "Cut!"

Darthemius: "'CENSORED' that 'CENSORED' in 'CENSORED'…"

Diana: "A soul of any company!"

Darthemius: "'CENSORED' you!"

Staff girl: "Mr. Darthemiuis! A letter for you!"

Wesker: "I hope it's not from Jill…"

Darthemius: "Nah, it's from… HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! That little thing just made my day!"

Alucard: "What are you laughing about?"

Darthemius (With an evil grin): "Ah, just the person I wanted to see, and… how are you doing, girl?"

Bella: "Oh, it's so nice to be a vampire! Master Alucard is so awesome! We're gonna stay together forever!"

Alucard (With a deep scowl): "Thank you very much, Darthemius!"

Darthemius: "You're welcome."

Alucard: "So?"

Darthemius: "So what?"

Alucard: "Am I in the next show?"

Darthemius: "Umm… No. There will be Hazama, Kratos and Shao-Kahn."

Alucard: "WHAT?! What about me?!"

Darthemius: "Read this and you will understand."

Alucard (Taking the note): "Dear mister Alucard… We, grateful people of the world, are expressing our gratitude in this letter for all you have done for us, normal guys! I mean hell, not only you wasted that loser Edward Cullen, but you also stole his girl! You really are a true… HERO?!"

Darthemius: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Better luck next time, pal!"

...

Well, that's really it and damn that was one long omake!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. So drink cola, fuck like hell and sleep well.

Darthemius.
