7-One more day

Naruto, sitting on the tree branch, looked at Shiara with a mixture of curiosity and calm. As she spoke, the forest was filled with the whisper of leaves swayed by the wind, a stark contrast to the seriousness on Shiara's face.

"Taizo and I have already gathered information about one of the yokai divisions," Shiara said seriously. "It's said they control the nearby caves, and their leader is a nure-onna. From what we've discovered, they are a daiyoukai, and among the yokai leaders, they might be the most depraved."

Naruto listened in silence, scratching his head as he processed the information. "So, they control the caves, huh... That sounds interesting." His tone remained casual, though the comment about the depravity of the nure-onna piqued his interest. "Looks like I'll have to check that out for myself."

However, just as he was about to continue, Naruto suddenly tensed. His eyes widened with alarm, and the atmosphere shifted dramatically. He stopped listening to Shiara's words as he sensed a large number of presences surrounding the village.

....

Shiguro, who had been enjoying the festive atmosphere moments earlier, immediately sensed the disturbance in the air when an invisible barrier surrounded the village. His expression hardened as he perceived the threat. As he observed the barrier, Hendo appeared before him with an equally serious look.

"Shiguro, it seems we're under attack," Hendo said calmly, though the tension in his voice was evident.

Before Shiguro could respond, two presences appeared in front of them. One of the figures had two violet wings and piercing red eyes, while the other boasted a formidable pair of eight black wings. The red-eyed demon spoke first, with an authoritative and arrogant tone.

"Humble yokai, surrender and you will receive a swift and painless end from the great and all-powerful Lord Lucifer," the demon declared, his tone dripping with disdain. Seeing that both Shiguro and Hendo remained silent, the demon smiled maliciously. "Good, this is even better... I was really looking forward to having some fun. I present myself, I am Stolas, a first-generation demon."

As Stolas spoke with enthusiasm, the eight-winged figure, Feliel, remained silent behind him, observing intently.

Hendo, without wasting any time, drew his sword, ready to face the danger. However, Shiguro stopped him with a firm voice. "Meet up with Yasaka and organize the forces. I'll take care of these." The seriousness in Shiguro's tone made it clear that there was no room for argument.

Hendo nodded, understanding the importance of the task, and started moving towards the center of the village. But Stolas, with a malevolent smile, launched a series of purple arrows at Hendo. Just before they could reach him, Shiguro intervened, deflecting the projectiles with his tails.

"I didn't think demons would be foolish enough to send a weak demon like you to attack a daiyoukai," Shiguro said, his gaze fixed on Stolas with a mix of disdain and seriousness.

.....

As Naruto and Shiara remained in the forest, a tall and mysterious figure appeared before them. Immediately, Naruto positioned himself in front of Shiara, ready for any confrontation. The figure, who turned out to be a man with silver hair and red eyes, radiated an imposing presence. His voice was polite, filled with a formal tone that contrasted with the aura of danger surrounding him.

"Pleasure to meet you, yokai lords," said the demon with a slight bow of his head. "I am Darius Lucifuge, and I was sent to destroy this village under the orders of Lord Lucifer."

Naruto eyed the demon cautiously, while Shiara openly glared at him with hostility. The tension in the air was palpable, as if any sudden movement could trigger a battle.

"Shiara, go to the village and help the villagers," Naruto ordered firmly, keeping his tone calm. Shiara hesitated for a moment, looking at him with doubt. Clearly, she didn't want to leave him alone against such a formidable opponent, but upon seeing the resolve in Naruto's eyes, she finally nodded and disappeared, heading toward the village.

The atmosphere grew even tenser when, as soon as Shiara vanished, Darius extended a hand and a magical attack quickly formed in front of him. Without further ado, the demon launched the attack at Naruto, who simply moved his hand with a swift gesture, effortlessly deflecting it. The surprise was evident on Darius's face, who frowned for a moment before speaking again.

"I see you are more powerful than I thought," Darius commented, his polite tone still intact, but now carrying a subtle hint of warning.

With a fluid motion, the demon conjured two magical circles in the air, which began to glow brightly with an orange light. Without warning, an explosion erupted from the circles, speeding toward Naruto. However, the ninja did not move from his position. When the explosions hit, a thick curtain of smoke covered the area, and for a moment, everything was silent.

The smoke dissipated quickly, revealing a surprising scene: Naruto, completely unharmed, surrounded by a turtle-shaped shield that was slowly disappearing. The protective technique had absorbed all the impact, leaving Naruto standing as if nothing had happened.

Darius, intrigued, stroked his beard with curiosity. He was tall, about 1.90 meters, with long silver hair and a beard that gave him a distinguished, though threatening, appearance. His red eyes glowed with a touch of admiration and calculated coldness. He wore an immaculate butler's suit, which contrasted with the brutality of the attacks he had just launched.

Just as Darius seemed about to say something more, Naruto's fist struck him with astonishing speed. The impact was directly to the stomach, and the demon was sent crashing with devastating force into the nearby trees, breaking several trunks along the way before finally coming to a stop on the ground.

Naruto watched the scene with a look of boredom on his face, as if the battle were not a real challenge to him. However, he soon detected several orange flashes coming from the direction where Darius had been thrown. Despite being smashed into the trees, the demon had started attacking again with a series of magical explosions.

Naruto, with precise and calculated movements, deflected each of the attacks with little effort. The orange explosions created shockwaves in the forest, but the shinobi never appeared to be in any danger.

Finally, the attacks ceased, and from the shadows, Darius reappeared. His butler suit, which had been immaculate before, was now visibly damaged. Despite his condition, the demon maintained his composure.

With a stoic expression, Darius raised a hand, and a magical circle began to form in the palm of his hand. As the circle completed, explosions started to generate within it. Each explosion was small, but the power it radiated was palpable.

Naruto watched him without changing his expression, but in a swift movement, he struck the ground with a powerful stomp. The impact was so forceful that a crack opened up across the forest, rapidly spreading towards where Darius stood. The demon immediately spread his ten black wings, lifting off the ground before the crack could reach him.

However, from the crack emerged several stone spikes that sped towards Darius. The demon reacted by summoning more magical circles, which released controlled explosions to destroy the spikes before they could reach him. But just when he thought he had avoided the danger, a massive stone hand emerged from the ground, attempting to capture him.

Darius, demonstrating his agility, dodged the hand with a nimble movement and destroyed it with a more powerful explosion. Despite this, he didn't realize that Naruto was already in front of him. Before he could react, Naruto's foot struck him squarely in the torso, sending him crashing back to the ground with overwhelming force. The impact caused a massive explosion of earth and rocks as Darius slammed into the ground.

Naruto watched as Darius wiped the trickle of blood running down his lip. The demon stood up with difficulty, tearing off the shredded pieces of his suit. His face reflected a mix of surprise and frustration, realizing that he had underestimated his opponent.

"I've underestimated you more than I should have," said Darius, his tone showing a forced respect as his muscles began to grow. "But that won't happen again."

Without waiting for a response, Darius summoned two magic circles in his fists, from which intense energy explosions began to emanate. Naruto, unfazed, watched curiously as the demon accumulated power. But in an instant, Darius vanished from sight, reappearing behind him. With a battle cry, he attempted to strike Naruto with the force of his explosions, but the shinobi turned in a flash, firmly grabbing Darius's wrist.

Naruto didn't wait for the demon to react and opened his palm, generating an explosion that struck Darius directly, sending him flying several meters. As Darius soared through the air, he watched in disbelief as Naruto, now floating calmly, effortlessly produced explosions in his hands, a skill that left the demon utterly bewildered.

But Darius didn't back down. With a determined expression, he summoned several energy bubbles that began to move towards Naruto. The bubbles, seemingly harmless at first, grew in size and accelerated their movement, aimed precisely at the shinobi.

Naruto frowned at his enemy's new strategy. In a swift movement, he molded clay in his hands, which took the shape of a giant spider. The terrifying spider launched itself toward the bubbles, and the clash between them caused a massive explosion that tore through the entire forest. The air filled with debris and dust, and for a moment, everything went silent.

Amidst the chaos, Darius protected himself with his arms, but when he opened his eyes, he noticed something strange. Small white particles floated around him, moving in an unsettling manner. Before he could react, the particles converged on his body, enveloping him in a rapidly expanding white layer.

Suddenly, with a flash of light, everything exploded. A massive detonation shook the area, leaving a huge crater in the ground. Naruto, floating in the air, watched calmly from above the result of his attack. From the crater emerged a battered figure: Darius, his body covered in burns, his clothes completely torn, and a gruesome wound on his face exposing part of his skull.

Despite his condition, Darius staggered to his feet, walking toward Naruto. His gaze reflected contempt but also helplessness.

"I can't believe a mere yokai has left me in this state," he growled, looking at his burned arms. He clenched his fist with determination, refusing to let the pain overwhelm him. "As a member of the Lucifuge family, I must uphold the name of Lord Lucifer."

A violet energy began to surround Darius's arm, and gradually, his entire arm turned that color. Small explosions started to form in his palm again, with even greater power.

Naruto, who had remained silent throughout the battle, finally spoke.

"You're pathetic," Naruto said with a bored tone, his eyes filled with disdain. "A useless dog who hasn't managed to land a scratch on me since this fight began. Take a good look around... this is where I'll end your useless existence."

In his palm, Naruto began to form a Rasengan. The spinning energy sphere glowed fiercely with a blue light, making the air around it tremble. Seeing this, Darius charged with all the strength he had left toward Naruto, extending his arm with the explosions in his palm.

Both launched into the final clash. Darius's explosions and Naruto's Rasengan collided mid-air, creating a massive burst of energy. The resulting explosion shook both the sky and the ground. When the smoke cleared, a figure was seen flying backward. It was Darius, now missing an arm, severed by the violent collision.

The demon knelt, gasping for breath, with fear evident in his eyes. He lifted his head to look at Naruto, who remained floating, watching him with an emotionless gaze.

"Seems like... seems like this battle is coming to an end, right, Mr. Yokai?" Darius murmured with despair in his voice. He raised his only hand toward the sky, "But I still have a mission to fulfill."

In the sky, a massive magic circle began to form. It was so large that it covered the sky over the village, and its glow intensified with each passing second. The energy contained within the circle was enough to destroy everything in its path. Darius smiled faintly, knowing that at least he could fulfill his objective

Naruto watched him, his expression of boredom unchanged. As the massive explosion descended from the sky toward the village, a large amount of sand appeared out of nowhere, forming a dome that enveloped the village, protecting it from the impact.

Darius, upon seeing how his last attempt was easily countered, understood the true difference in power between him and Naruto.

"I see... I never had a chance..." he murmured, defeated. His body began to glow with an orange light. The demon was determined to self-destruct in one final act of desperation, but before he could do so, the sand quickly enveloped him. Darius tried to break free, but the sand tightened around him. Within seconds, his body was crushed with a sickening sound, disintegrating completely.

Naruto floated above the crater, coldly observing the remnants of the battle, with no expression on his face.

...

Hello You're welcome, and I appreciate you sharing more about Naruto's personality. Here's the translation

Naruto's personality is quite complicated. I aim for him to act arrogantly, mockingly, and even coldly with people he doesn't know, while being more composed with those he's familiar with. Additionally, Naruto is very curious about the things in the new world.

That's all for now, I'm signing off for the moment.
