*****************************
Let us begin
*****************************
Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, the Yōsokage of Yōsogakure No Sato, also known as the Naruto of a Thousand Clones, the Sun of the Underworld and Shinobi God; looked seriously at his smiling opponent.
His opponent was Balor, the Evil God of Celtic-Irish Mythology, also known as the Demon King.
The two looked at each other; Naruto seriously and Balor with a smile. Both waited to see who would make the first move.
Who quickly was Balor…
He, with surprising speed, appeared beside his opponent with the Spear of Assal extended, about to pierce Naruto's head.
Naruto quickly dodged it by crouching down. Then, taking advantage of his potion, he tried to strike Balor's abdomen; who dodged it by jumping very high.
While in the air, Balor grabbed the Spear with both hands and raised it above his head.
Naruto, seeing his intention, quickly jumped back and dodged Balor, who landed and impacted his Spear on the ground, creating a gigantic crater.
Being at a considerable distance, Naruto began to store a large amount of Chakra within his body, ready to launch a Jutsu.
- "[Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu]!"-
Naruto then expelled a gigantic sphere of intense flames from his mouth.
Balor only smiled as he saw how the sphere of fire covered his vision. Then, with a single movement of his Spear, he cut the sphere in half. Then suddenly, Naruto appeared in front of him with his fist extended, ready to use the Taijutsu of the Uzumaki Clan.
Balor, sensing the danger of the blow, used his Spear as a shield between him and the blow.
- "[Teikoku no Eikyō]"-
Naruto then struck a blow strengthened with Chakra on the Spear.
The powerful blow caused the air itself to turn into a shockwave. The same pressure caused Balor to step back a few meters, his arms shaking. Balor was impressed, but that didn't stop him from smiling.
-"Not bad"- Balor said with a smile, then pointed his Spear at Naruto. -"But you'll need more than that to stop me"-
Suddenly the Spear was enveloped in a black aura.
-"[Evil Sphere]!"-
Balor shouted, and after his Spear a dark sphere came out, which quickly headed towards Naruto.
Naruto opened his eyes in shock as he saw the dark sphere heading quickly towards him. -(I think it's time to test those Skills)-
Balor was surprised by what happened next. He saw how Naruto's body turned into water and fell to the ground like a puddle; just a few centimeters away from being hit by the dark sphere.
The sphere collided with one of the nearby mountains, causing a gigantic explosion and destroying a large part of the mountain. At that moment, the puddle of water that Naruto had become began to enter the ground, disappearing beneath the earth.
Balor began to look around, in an attempt to locate Naruto. Then he heard the voice of his opponent below him.
-"[Zoan: Tsūbaito]!"-
Suddenly two gigantic snake heads emerged from beneath the ground on either side of Balor, with a strange black metallic armor covering them. These heads had many similarities to Naruto.
This transformation was the power of the Zoan type Akuma No Mi; the [Hebi Hebi No Mi: Yamato-No-Orochi Model], along with the [Busoshoku Haki].
To Balor's surprise, the two snake heads quickly bit him on each side.
-"Agh!"-
Balor screamed in pain as he felt himself being pierced by the teeth of the two snakes.
But it didn't end there. A third head appeared beneath him. The head bit his legs and lifted him quickly into the sky.
-"[Zoan: Hebi no Matsuge]!"-
Declared the Snake head that held Balor, who then lowered himself to slam his opponent's body hard against the ground. Balor lost his breath and spat blood as he was slammed against the hard ground. Meanwhile, the three snake heads returned under the ground.
Seconds later, the sky was suddenly filled with black clouds; while something seemed to emerge from the ground, causing large and powerful tremors. Then a gigantic being came out from under the ground to fly towards the skies.
Balor, who was recovering from the previous attacks, looked up at the sky. He opened his eyes in shock at seeing the being that emerged from the ground.
A gigantic Eastern Dragon with blue scales, with several kinships to Naruto.
-"What the...?"-
Balor muttered in shock at what he was seeing.
The Eastern Dragon was actually Naruto using the power of the [Uo Uo No Mi: Seiryu Model].
Naruto smiled at seeing Balor's reaction, then opened his mouth to attack.
-"[Zoan: Faiyārēzā]!"-
Naruto then released a gigantic and powerful compressed fire laser from his mouth, which headed towards Balor. The attack traveled very fast and extremely powerful towards Balor, who could only react by furiously spinning his Spear, deflecting the powerful fire laser. But that didn't stop him from burning his hands and other parts of his body.
But Naruto didn't stop there.
-"[Zoan: Boidoburēdo]!"-
Naruto then roared, releasing several wind blades from his mouth.
Balor couldn't react quickly. All the blades produced several deep cuts all over his body; Although none of them were able to completely pierce him.
-"Damn..."- Balor growled in pain and anger; now without that smile on his face. -"Stop playing!"-
Then he launched several dark spheres from his Spear.
Naruto just flew through the air, quickly and agilely dodging the dark spheres. Although they did not hit, they still produced devastating explosions, covering the sky with explosions and smoke.
Balor smiled again, thinking that he had finished Naruto off. But that smile quickly disappeared when he saw something flying at a blinding speed towards him. Then he was confused when he saw that what was flying was not a Dragon, but a Pteranodon; being Naruto they use the power of the [Ryu Ryu No Mi: Pteranodon Model].
Naruto quickly flew towards Balor. In an instant he was in front of his opponent, about to impact his beak against him.
-"[Zoan: Hachūrui No Yari]!"-
Naruto then slammed his beak wrapped in [Busoshoku Haki] into Balor.
-"Agh!"-
Balor screamed in pain, while spitting blood from the powerful blow; which even destroyed everything in the surroundings due to an air shock.
After Naruto attacked, he quickly flew back into the skies, leaving his opponent stunned and lying on the ground.
Balor recovered from his daze. Then he opened his eyes in shock to see something gigantic fall on top of him. -"What!?"-
What he saw fall was a gigantic Brachiosaurus; Naruto being using the power of the [Ryu Ryu No Mi: Brachiosaurus Model].
-"[Zoan: Juraki No Eikyō]!"-
Naruto fell backwards on his opponent, crushing him completely. Balor, upon receiving the impact of literally eighty tons, groaned in pain as he felt his bones break and his organs crushed.
Naruto began to chuckle.
-"What's wrong?" - Naruto asked mockingly. -"Too much weight for you?"-
But instead of receiving an answer, he began to rise little by little.
-"Huh?"-
Naruto muttered in confusion as he saw that he was floating; or rather, he was being lifted with one hand by an angry Balor, who was enveloped in a black aura.
-"Don't make fun of me!"-
Balor shouted angrily, then threw Naruto into the air.
-"Wow!"-
Naruto was surprised to be thrown into the air. He quickly returned to his normal form and landed on his feet on the ground.
-"Damn you!"- Balor shouted, then pointed his Spear at Naruto. -"I'll finish you off right now! [Evil Pillar]!"-
After the tip of his Spear, a gigantic pillar of darkness emerged.
Naruto opened his eyes upon seeing the sudden attack. He then disappeared in a yellow-red ray, before the pillar of darkness hit him. The pillar continued to advance, hitting and destroying several mountains in the surroundings.
-"Unfortunate one"- Balor looked around angrily. -"Where are you hiding!?"-
Then he heard Naruto's voice in the skies.
-"[Logia: Seinaru Ame]!"-
Balor looked up; seconds later he opened his eyes in shock when he saw the entire sky illuminated. Then hundreds and hundreds of spears of light fell like rain on him. Balor began to quickly deflect the spears of light with his Spear; but seeing that the spears of light did not stop falling, he decided to end this.
-"That's enough!"-
Balor shouted, then his eyes glowed. Then suddenly the spears stopped frozen in place. With a movement of his Spear, he undid all the spears of light.
But Balor could not take a breath when Naruto appeared in front of him, with his right hand extended and covered in magma.
-"[Logia: Akagitsune]!"-
Then a gigantic fox head made of magma formed on his right arm.
Before Balor could react, the magma fox's head opened its mouth and devoured him completely. Not even two seconds passed when the fox's head exploded, revealing an angry and slightly burned Balor, with an aura of darkness surrounding him.
-"Enough of the games!"-
Balor was angry. For him, things didn't have to end like this. He was supposed to kill Lugh and subdue the other Gods of the Celtic-Irish Faction, then rule Avalon and Fomor. And maybe in the future fulfill his part of the deal with his benefactor; but that's the least of it for him.
But all of that was ruined by a single person.
-(I have no other choice, I'll have to use "that")-
With that thought, Balor set out to use his secret weapon. Suddenly, the dark aura surrounding him began to intensify; enough to surround Balor in a gigantic dome of total darkness. The dome created large and powerful shock waves that destroyed everything around it; so much so that Naruto had to take cover. Then cracks began to appear in the dome, and seconds later it shattered like glass.
When the dome broke, a muscular giant with grayish skin of more than five meters was revealed; long silver hair, sharp teeth like blades and pointed ears. His main characteristic would be his single and large eye in the center of his face.
With him was the Spear of Assal; which seemed to grow to better fit Balor's size.
-"RRRÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ-!"-
The giant roared loudly, causing even the world itself to tremble. Then he looked at Naruto and smiled.
-"Admire, human; this is my perfect form"- Balor spoke with pride and arrogance, with an almost demonic voice. -"The true power, of the great and powerful Demon King Balor!"-
-"And here I thought you couldn't be any uglier"-
Naruto told him with a smile, not worried at all. Although inside he was surprised; after all, Balor currently has the power to easily face some of the strongest of the 10 Strongest Beings in the World.
Naruto was still wondering how Balor was able to get all that power in just a few years.
Balor, hearing what Naruto said, growled in anger. -"Damn human. With this form if I want I can destroy Avalon and kill all the Gods without a problem!"-
Naruto looked at him defiantly. -"Then come here and prove it"-
Balor roared in anger, then moved at a surprising speed for his size, to stand in front of Naruto with his fist ready to hit him.
Naruto was surprised by Balor's speed. He then quickly ducked, dodging the blow; then took advantage and hit his enemy's abdomen. But he opened his eyes in shock when he saw how his blow did not affect Balor's tough skin. In addition, Naruto felt his hand numb from the blow.
-"That doesn't work on me anymore!"-
Balor yelled, while giving Naruto a front kick, who quickly covered himself with both arms; but it didn't stop him from being sent flying, crashing and crashing through a mountain.
Naruto only came away with a few scratches. If it wasn't for the resistance given by Susanoo, the Storm God, he would have taken considerable damage.
-"It's time to get serious"-
Naruto said to himself, as he wiped the dust off his clothes.
A serious Naruto quickly appeared in a yellow-red beam in front of a grinning Balor, who lunged wildly at him. Naruto just closed his eyes calmly, as he waited for Balor to start attacking.
Balor quickly raised his right arm, ready to strike him in the head.
-(Up...)-
Naruto seemed to see a premonition of the attack, then calmly dodged it.
Balor was surprised by that. He then struck him again; but this time with a front kick.
-(Right...)-
Seeing another vision of the attack, Naruto calmly ducked, completely dodging the kick.
And so it continued for a while. Punches, kicks, elbows, headbutts and even spear attacks; all of them were calmly dodged by Naruto, who was using [Kenbunshoku Haki] at very advanced levels.
-"Enough of this nonsense!"-
Balor shouted angrily and tired of Naruto dodging all his attacks. Then he tried to use his ability to stop time on Naruto; an ability that didn't seem to work on him at the beginning of the fight.
-"It's time for you to stand still!"- Balor said, while his only eye glowed. Then he growled angrily when he saw that it still didn't affect Naruto. -(Why isn't he affected!?)-
Balor thought that by increasing his power he could use his power to stop time on Naruto; but it seemed that no matter if he became stronger than before, Naruto was still superior to him.
Something that makes Balor explode with anger…
-"I'm already tired of you. Die already!"- Balor shouted. -"[Evil Laser]!"-
A powerful jet black laser shot out from his single eye. The laser traveled at the speed of light, threatening everything in its path; which was obviously Naruto.
Naruto kept his eyes closed. Then he suddenly opened them and lunged towards the laser at the same speed. And with just a few centimeters of impact, Naruto only moved his head slightly, completely avoiding the laser.
-"What...?"-
Balor went into shock; not only because Naruto easily dodged his attack, but also because he quickly appeared in front of him.
Naruto moved his right arm back, while covering it with [Busoshoku Haki] and with a hypocenter created with the [Gura Gura No Mi].
Balor, seeing the attack, felt great danger. But unfortunately for him, the blow had already connected with his abdomen.
-"[Paramecia: Jishin Sutoraiki]!"-
The impact created devastating shockwaves in the surroundings, destroying the ground and nearby mountains; it even cracked the very air itself.
Balor screamed in pain as he felt the vibrations travel through his entire body; destroying all of his bones and severely damaging his organs. The internal damage caused him to spit blood and teeth from his mouth, as well as bleeding from his eyes and ears. But that didn't stop Balor, who remained standing.
-"Isn't that enough? How about this?"- Naruto then covered his other arm with [Busoshoku Haki] and a hypocenter. -"[Paramecia: Jishin Sutoraiki: Bāsuto]!"-
Then a flurry of blows began on Balor's body. Each blow cracked the air, destroyed the ground and the mountains in the surroundings; it even made the entire world tremble.
And when the last blow was given, Balor was sent flying towards the battlefield.
Naruto, seeing everything in the surroundings destroyed and the mountains turned into rubble, couldn't help but sweat a little.
-"I think I went too far"-
Then he disappeared in a yellow-red ray.
.....
...
....
....
On the battlefield everything was calmer than before.
The Ninjas of Yōsogakure No Sato had won the battle and without any casualties or serious damage; unlike the other side.
The other side received many casualties, while others surrendered and became prisoners of war. While others, mostly the Formorians, continued fighting only to end up dying.
Now the Ninjas were only in charge of taking the prisoners and caring for the wounded; all under the watchful eye of the Celtic-Irish Faction, who had several mixed feelings when witnessing the battle.
Surprise, by the power of the Ninjas; relief, by the result of the battle; and even fear towards the Ninjas. Among them were the Celtic-Irish Gods, including an almost recovered Lugh; who had been informed by everything, from Naruto's arrival, until the present.
The Gods were more than surprised that there are beings of great power in the world. Beings capable of perfectly using the elements, controlling gravity, creating unstoppable flames, controlling armies with just the movements of their hands, and other incredible abilities.
But all that tranquility was interrupted by something hitting the ground, creating a considerably large crater.
Before anyone could see inside the crater, Naruto appeared in front of it in a yellow-red ray.
-"You... Y-You can't... Defeat me!"-
Balor spoke with difficulty, as he slowly walked out of the crater, showing his severely injured body.
Those from the Celtic-Irish Faction looked on in shock; not only by seeing Balor in his true form, but also by his state.
While the Ninjas looked at everything calmly; as if they were used to it.
-"You... You're just a human..."- Balor stood with difficulty in front of a calm Naruto. -"And I... A God!"-
-"No, you're not a God"- Naruto told him calmly. -"After all, I've met the True Gods"-
Lugh opened his eyes in shock upon hearing that. -(Does he even know that?)-
-"So do yourself a favor and let this end quickly"-
Naruto declared seriously, while Yamamoto appeared in his right hand in an explosion of smoke.
Balor looked at him tiredly. But then he suddenly smiled and began to laugh uncontrollably, bewildering everyone there.
-"Hehehehehe, Hahahahahahahahaha!, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!"-
Naruto looked at him surprised. -(He's already gone crazy)-
Balor suddenly stopped laughing, to look at Naruto with an evil smile.
-"You think this is over? You're wrong." Balor then crouched down enough to let Naruto see the back of his head. -"Because this isn't over until I decide it is!"-
Lugh and the Gods seemed to know what Balor was about to do.
-"This is not good"- Taranis said upset. -"He's about to use his [Evil Eye]!"-
-"Quick, look away!"-
Lugh shouted upset at everyone, including the Ninjas.
Both the Celtic-Irish Faction forces and the Ninjas quickly looked away from Balor.
Everyone except Naruto, who looked at everything with curiosity.
-"Die!"-
Balor screamed, then an eye appeared on the back of his head, which looked directly at Naruto.
-"...."-
-"...."-
-"...."-
-"...."-
Everything was in a deathly silence for several seconds; until someone spoke.
-"Eh..."- Naruto looked around in confusion. -"Is he supposed to do something to me?"-
-"Huh?"-
Balor muttered dumbly, as his eye on the back of his head closed.
Everyone else upon hearing Naruto's voice, looked back, only those from the Celtic-Irish Faction looked on in shock.
-"H-He's a-a-alive"-
Taranis stuttered in shock.
-"How is that possible?"-
Sucellos asked in shock.
But the most surprised was Lugh; since he knew how dangerous that technique was.
The [Evil Eye]; Balor's ultimate technique. An eye with a deadly gaze for whoever it fixed it on. A technique with no escape and no way to avoid it. And Balor could only use it once and then it would close, only to be used again in a few thousand years.
The last time Balor had used that technique, was when he killed Nuada, the King of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
What no one noticed, not even Naruto; was a particular mark that glowed in a black color on Naruto's upper right arm.
-"You..."- Balor looked at him with anger and fear, as he backed away from him; causing him to stumble and fall on his back. -"Why are you still alive!?"-
-"Shouldn't I be alive?"-
Naruto asked him confused, as he approached him.
For the first time, in all his years of life, Balor felt fear. He didn't feel it when he faced the armies of the Tuatha Dé Danann, nor when he faced Nuada and even less when he fought against Lugh. But being before, in Balor's opinion, a monster like Naruto, he couldn't help but feel fear.
-"Well, Balor"- Naruto looked at him seriously. -"It's time to end this"-
-"You know what, kill me"- Balor told him with a smile. -"You might not beat me"-
Naruto looked at him curiously. -"What do you mean?"-
Balor let out a small laugh, then spoke without stopping smiling, but without any emotion in his voice.
-"It was before they revived me; I was in a horrible and boring place. A place that in my opinion, was Hell itself..."-
Naruto raised an eyebrow at what he heard.
-"I still had my power and my abilities, but in that place I was not important; I was a nobody. My status as a God did not matter in that place and that was torture"-
Balor continued his explanation without changing his expression.
-"But..."- This time there was emotion in Balor's voice. -"All that changed when I heard that voice"-
Naruto was confused. -"Voice?"-
-"Yes; it was like a whisper, but it was loud enough to hear"- Balor replied with a big smile. -"He told me that I had potential and that he would revive me with my increased power, to fulfill my goal"-
Naruto narrowed his eyes as he listened. Someone who revives someone like Balor, who has the goal of forcefully conquering a world, obviously must have bad intentions.
-"And if I die now, I'm sure I'll revive twice as strong as before and so on. In short..."- Balor then looked at Naruto with an evil smile. -"I am unstoppable"-
The Celtic-Irish Faction became nervous and even fearful upon hearing that.
-"So; as long as you have your power even when dead, you will revive stronger than before, right?"-
Naruto asked him.
-"Yes; so kill me"- Balor said with a smile. -"I'll probably come back and everything will end differently."-
-"I really couldn't stand fighting you all the time."- Naruto said calmly, as Yamamoto disappeared in a burst of smoke, and then made something else appear. -"So I'd better take care of that."-
What appeared was a beautiful, very shiny golden Indian lamp. It had different and complex seals carved on it, and several alchemical runes.
-"Do you know what this is?"-
Naruto asked Balor, who looked confused. When he didn't receive an answer, Naruto continued talking.
-"It's my invention. I named it the Golden Lamp. It lacks inspiration."- Naruto shrugged. -"But it doesn't matter."-
Balor and everyone from the Celtic-Irish Faction looked at everything with confusion. But the Ninjas were in shock; after all, they knew Naruto's inventions.
And for them, those inventions are not a game.
-"I was inspired by some incredible weapons created by my predecessor; those weapons had incredible abilities. And this lamp's ability, well, is to absorb everything"- Naruto told him seriously. Balor for some reason got nervous. -"Power, magic, abilities, even feelings, memories and soul; there is nothing I can't absorb. And when I use it on someone, it will be as if they had never had any of that; neither in life, nor in death"-
Now Balor was nervous.
-"You are proud of your power, right? Well with this, it will be as if you had died as an ordinary human"- Naruto explained, shocking Balor and everyone from the Celtic-Irish Faction. Then he smiled. -"I think you see my intentions"-
Balor despaired. -"W-W-Wait, no-!"-
-"Too late"-
Naruto interrupted him. Suddenly, the lamp began to shine in a golden light, while the various Runes and Seals shone.
Balor then began to scream, while a dark energy began to come out of his mouth and eye. Said energy quickly headed towards the inside of the lamp.
While that was happening, Balor began to change back to his human form; with the difference that he no longer had his third eye.
After a few seconds, the dark energy stopped coming out, while the last of it was absorbed by the lamp. When the procedure was over, Balor looked at his hands in shock.
-"My power... My abilities..."-
-"It's all here"-
Naruto told him calmly, while he moved the lamp; then he took off the cover and took out a dark sphere from inside.
But suddenly the sphere turned purple, causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow. -(Interesting)-
Then he put it aside, to investigate it another time.
Those from the Celtic-Irish Faction also looked in shock. They could feel it; Balor was no longer a God, or even a Supernatural being. He was just an ordinary human.
-"Well. Since the main problem has been solved, it's time to end this."-
Naruto said, as the lamp and the purple sphere disappeared in a burst of smoke, and he went back to preparing Yamamoto.
-"W-Wait, I have information that can help you!"- Balor shouted upset. -"B-But only if you let me live!"-
Naruto raised an eyebrow. -"Fine"- He looked at him seriously. -"But I hope it's important"-
-"It's about Rizevim Lucifer..."-
Balor answered nervously.
That quickly caught Naruto's attention. -"Continue..."-
-"He found out that I had revived. He contacted me and offered me a deal"- Balor quickly began to explain. -"He would give me reinforcements for the battle and then I would help him with his goal"-
Naruto looked at him seriously. -"And what is that goal?"-
-"Bring chaos to the world..."-
Balor's answer caused Naruto to narrow his eyes dangerously. -"And you were going to help him?"-
-"N-No, I would never do that!"- Balor answered in fear. -"What would I gain with the world in chaos!?"-
Although he was nervous, he was telling the truth. After all, his goal is to rule Avalon and Fomor; and with all the chaos, he wouldn't gain anything.
-"Well; I have to say that that information was very useful to me"-
What Naruto said caused Balor to sigh with relief.
-"Th-then will you let me live?"- Balor asked nervously. -"The information was useful to you"-
He had already planned to escape and somehow, get his powers back.
-"Ah yes, about that"- Naruto looked at him calmly. -"I lied"-
-"A-A-Ah bu-but-"-
-"I'm a Ninja"- Naruto interrupted him with a smile. -"We are deceitful"-
-"Aaaaah!"- Balor shouted out loud. -"Aaaaaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaaaaaaaaah!"-
He didn't bother to contain his cry of despair; because he imagined the torture he would have to endure again in that Hell.
-"Ah; and one last thing, Balor..."- Naruto spoke, while preparing Yamamoto. -"Say hello to Shinigami-chan for me"-
Then with a movement of Yamamoto, he decapitated and killed him. Balor's dead body fell to the ground, while Naruto watched everything calmly. Then he turned his gaze to the Spear next to Balor's body. Naruto grabbed it and disappeared in a yellow-red ray.
Then he appeared in front of the surprised Celtic-Irish Gods. Naruto turned his gaze to Lugh, then passed him his Spear.
-"Um, I think this is yours"-
Naruto said nervously because of the looks he received from the Gods.
Lugh nervously received the Spear, and then did something that surprised Naruto and mostly the Gods.
Lugh got on his knees and bowed before Naruto.
-"Thank you for saving us, Lord Naruto!"-
Naruto was confused. -"Huh?"-
-"""EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH!?"""-
The Gods shouted in shock.
It seems that the problems do not end for Naruto.
.....
.....
....
....
Returning to the meeting room, where the Celtic-Irish Gods had met before the incident with Balor, were the said Gods, along with Naruto.
The Ninjas had already returned to Yōsogakure No Sato; to take care of their business and the prisoners of war.
Currently most of the Gods were surprised and Naruto nervous.
And why?
Why Lugh was still kneeling and prostrating before Naruto.
The Gods were in shock. They knew that Lugh would never prostrate himself before anyone; his warrior pride would not allow it. He had not even prostrated himself before Nuada or Dagda; and they were his superiors.
-"You don't have to prostrate yourself before me, you know that?"- Naruto said nervously. -"A 'thank you' is enough."-
-"No. You defeated Balor; something that even I couldn't do."- Lugh said, still looking at the ground. -"Besides, you are my superior; a 'thank you' would not be respectful at all."-
-"""Superior?"""-
Naruto and the Gods asked in confusion.
-"Yes."- Lugh affirmed, now with his head raised looking at Naruto. -"You said it yourself. You met the True Gods."-
Naruto opened his eyes in surprise. -"Do you even know?"-
Naruto was surprised that someone else knew about the existence of the True Gods.
Lugh nodded. -"Yes, it's a secret that was confided to me."-
-"What secret are you talking about?"-
Taranis asked with interest. The other Gods were also interested.
-"I'd better tell them."-
Suddenly a feminine and melodious voice was heard.
When everyone turned their gaze towards the voice, they could see a beautiful woman with long brown hair, white skin and beautiful blue eyes. She was wearing an extensive blue tunic, under a red vest held with a yellow belt, and on her shoulders there was a light blue cloak that covered her body.
The Gods were surprised to see the woman. While Naruto looked with curiosity. He had felt the woman's presence from the beginning of the conversation; but not feeling any bad intentions, he let it go.
-"Lady Danu!"- Sucellos went into shock. -"What are you doing here!?"-
-"I came to see how you were. Upon hearing that Balor had revived, I came as quickly as possible to help; but it seems that it was not necessary"- Danu said with a smile, then looked at Naruto and bowed. -"It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Lord Naruto"-
-"Ah yes"- Naruto said uncomfortably. -"It is also a pleasure"-
He knew who she is. She is Danu, known as the Mother Earth Goddess and Primordial Goddess of the Celtic-Irish Pantheon.
-"Lady Danu"- Lear was curious. -"What is the secret?"-
-"The secret of our existence and the creation of this world"- Danu said, then continued narrating. -"This world; as well as the other worlds such as the Underworld, Heaven and Human World, were created by a single person..."-
The Gods only listened in silence.
-"Then I create the first inhabitants, or also known as the Primordial Gods; like me, Chaos, Atum, the Biblical God and others"-
The Celtic-Irish Gods were surprised to hear that.
-"That person is known as Gaia, the Goddess of Magic and a True Goddess"-
-"And those True Gods, who exactly are they?"-
Epona asked curiously.
-"I don't know exactly"- Danu answered seriously. -"I only know that they are the superior beings of all the worlds; superior to us and superior to the Dragon Gods"-
The Celtic-Irish Gods lost their breath upon hearing that.
A greater existence than the two Dragon Gods...
The Celtic-Irish Gods trembled at the thought of that.
-"Only the Primordial Gods know about their existence"- Danu said, then looked at Naruto. -"And it seems that Lord Naruto met the True Gods"-
-"Well, yes"- Naruto said, then he began to tell the different Gods he met. -"I met Gaia, the Goddess of Magic; Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun; Tsukuyomi, the Goddess of the Moon; Hikari, the Goddess of Light; Susanoo, the God of Storms; Shinigami, the Goddess of Death; Kenji the God of Dreams and Adventures and the Supreme God"-
The Celtic-Irish Gods looked at him confused upon hearing some of the names of the Gods of the Shinto Pantheon.
But Danu was the only one who was in shock. -"D-Did you k-know the Supreme God?"-
-"Uh, yes"-
Naruto replied confused by Danu's reaction.
Then with surprising speed, Danu stood in front of Naruto; next to a prostrate Lugh, then knelt down and prostrated before Naruto.
-"Lady Danu!?"-
Brigid asked surprised, along with the other Gods.
Danu raised his head, to look at the other Gods with a frown. -"You too!"-
The Gods, not wanting to suffer Danu's wrath, quickly also prostrated themselves before a nervous and embarrassed Naruto.
-"Oh great Lord Naruto!"- Danu spoke with great respect. -"We thank you for being in your presence!"-
Naruto was embarrassed. -"Wh-What?"-
Danu then looked at Lugh. -"Lugh, bring 'that'"-
Lugh looked at her surprised. -"Are you sure, Lady Danu?"-
-"Yes"- Danu said determinedly. -"I'm sure Dagda and Nuada would be honored that you gave it to them"-
Lugh nodded, then created a Magic Circle and from there took out two objects. One was a cauldron-like container made of silver with gold decorations, and there were carved figures of lions, dolphins, elephants and other exotic animals. The other was a sword kept in its sheath; where only its black hilt with gold details and a ruby on its pommel could be seen.
The Gods, looking at the two objects, opened their eyes in shock.
Lugh, taking the objects, approached Naruto and handed them to him.
Danu lowered her head to Naruto again. -"Please take these two treasures and accept them as a gift for saving us from Balor."-
Naruto took the items and looked at them curiously. -"And what are they?"-
-"They are two of the Four Treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann."- Danu replied. -"The Cauldron of Dagda, also known as The Cauldron of Abundance; and the Sword of Nuada, also known as The Sword of Light. Two great objects of great power."-
Naruto looked at the two objects in amazement. He was already preparing to study the two objects carefully.
After a few minutes of chatting, Naruto said goodbye to the Celtic-Irish Gods, with two new powerful objects and a new alliance.
He quickly left on a yellow-red ray to Yōsogakure No Sato, to continue his work as Yōsokage. Naruto cried as he imagined the paperwork he had to do because of this war.
And that was how the story of the famous God Slayer who killed the Evil God Balor and saved the Celtic-Irish Pantheon began.
...
...
....
....
Naruto appeared in his office, only to start crying as he saw two large piles of paperwork. As he sat down at his desk to do the paperwork, he looked at two scrolls; each with a note. He took one to start reading it.
This is a reward for having killed Balor and having saved the Celtic-Irish Pantheon.
-Gaia, the Goddess of Magic.
Naruto finished reading, took the scroll that had the note and opened it. Then, in a large explosion of smoke, hundreds and hundreds of books appeared covering the office.
Naruto took some and read their titles, to see that they were books of Magic. He knew a lot about Magic; like that of this world and the book that Gaia gave him. But he never heard about the Magics in these books.
[Letter Magic], [Life Magic], [Immobilization Magic], [Celestial Body Magic], [Ankhseram Black Magic], [Dragon Supremacy Magic] and so on.
Naruto was determined to study and learn the Magics from all the books. Not knowing that this knowledge would be useful to teach in the future to a group of treasure hunters and a cute fairy lover, who would have a close relationship with Naruto.
After that, he took the note from the other scroll.
A reward for having brought me the soul of Balor. I'm sure these three will be very helpful to you.
-Shinigami, the Goddess of Death.
After finishing reading, he opened the scroll, where only three blue particles came out.
Naruto opened his eyes when he recognized the blue particles as souls. Then he disappeared in a yellow-red ray and went to a larger place.
.....
.....
....
....
Naruto looked at Training Camp No. 7; and was grateful that there was no one using it. Then he activated his [Rinnegan] to use the [Jigokudō] and summon the King of Hell.
Rising from the ground, showing only a head surrounded by purple flames, was the King of the Underworld; who then opened his mouth.
Naruto then put the blue particles into the mouth. Then the mouth closed and began to make movements as if he was chewing. Not many knew that the King of the Underworld could be used to revive people without the need for a body, but only if you had the soul and an abnormal amount of Chakra.
But thanks to the literally infinite reserves of Chakra, that was no problem for Naruto.
When the King of the Underworld stopped chewing, he opened his mouth greatly, where three gigantic beings began to emerge. They were three enormous men; so much so that they had to bend down to get out of the mouth. They had brown hair with a beard and were only wearing leather shorts. Their most notable feature was that they only had one eye in the middle of their forehead.
Naruto quickly recognized the enormous beings as Cyclops.
The Cyclops upon seeing Naruto, quickly knelt before him.
Naruto was embarrassed. -(Not again...)-
-"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Naruto"- One of the Cyclopes spoke respectfully. -"Shinigami-sama told us a lot about you"-
-"Yes, hello..."- Naruto greeted them, even though he was embarrassed that they knelt before him. -"And who are you?"-
-"I am Arges"-
-"I am Brontes"-
-"And I am Steropes. We are the first generation of Cyclopes; children of Gaia and Uranus, and the forgers of the weapons that brought victory to the Greek Gods over the Titans"- Steropes said, then he and the other Cyclopes bowed their heads before Naruto. -"And from now on, we will be under your command, Lord Naruto"-
Naruto smiled and only had one thought. -(Things are going to get interesting)-
And he was not wrong. Things did get very interesting.
TO BE CONTINUED!!!
