220 Years After the Devil Civil War
Yggdrasil, also known as the Tree of Life; a tree as magnificent and ancient as the universe itself. Its roots and branches hold together the different worlds of Norse Mythology.
Asgard, the world of the Æsir; who were the main Gods of the Norse Pantheon and is ruled by Odin, the Allfather and the God of Wisdom, War and Death; but he is also considered, although to a lesser extent, the God of Magic, Poetry, Prophecy, Victory and Hunting.
Midgard, the world of Humans; but unlike the other, this world is in the medieval era of Knights and Wizards.
Helheim or Hel, is also known as the Kingdom of Death. In this world ended those who had died from illness or old age, and once entered, not even the Gods could leave. It is ruled by Hela, the Goddess of Death and the Underworld in Norse Mythology.
Niflheim, also known as the Realm of Darkness and Darkness; a world shrouded in perpetual mist. The Evil Dragon Niðhöggr, also known as the Dragon of Rage of the Abyss and the Dragon of Extrajudicial Death, is sealed there.
Muspelheim, also called Muspel; the Realm of Fire in Norse Mythology. It is the home of the Fire Giants, and is ruled by Surtur, the Strongest Fire Giant.
Svartálfaheim, the home of the Dark Elves or Svartalfar. This world is also home to several Norse Dwarves.
Alfheim, also known as Ljusalfheim. An Enchanted Forest and the home of the Light Elves, also known as ljósálfar.
Vanaheim or Vanaheimr; which is the home of the Vanir, one of the two clans of Gods in Norse Mythology, apart from the Æsir. It is ruled by Njörðr, God of the Fertile Land and the Sea Coast.
And lastly, Jötunheim, the home of the Frost Giants; also known as the Jontu. It is ruled by Þrymr, the King of the Jontu.
Nine worlds full of conflicts between each other. Some were resolved, while others are still ongoing. But once it was predicted that these worlds would be destroyed by a terrible battle.
That battle is known as Ragnarök.
But, what they didn't know, was that a very different battle than Ragnarök would begin. Why this battle does not end with the destruction of all the worlds.
It will end with someone conquering the nine worlds. Instead of a war to destroy, it would be a war to conquer.
This war would be between two sides.
One would be an alliance between Asgard, Midgard, Svartálfaheim, Alfheim, and Vanaheim.
And the other would be an alliance between Helheim, Niflheim, Muspelheim, and Jötunheim.
Two great and powerful sides that would wage a war that would decide the fate of the nine worlds.
And that war would be known as the Great War of Yggdrasil…
What no one knew, was that a person would stop that war to create peace between the worlds.

In the Yōsokage Tower, Naruto was quietly doing his work.
-"And that's it!"- Naruto smiled, after having finished the last of the paperwork. Then he stood up from his chair, ready to go home. -"Well, I'm done. I think I-"-
He fell silent when his Secretary opened the door and entered the office.
-"Excuse me, Yōsokage-sama," said the Secretary, then placed a large pile of paperwork on the desk. -"There is more paperwork for you."-
Naruto looked at the pile of paperwork in shock, then sat back down depressed. His secretary, meanwhile, walked out of the office with a smile.
Now alone, Naruto quickly created two Clones to help him with the paperwork. But when they were about to start, a scream rang out in his head.
-
Naruto suddenly became alarmed and thought it was the Bijūs. But then he remembered that they were currently out of their bodies and were wandering around the village.
-
Naruto asked seriously to the strange voice in his head.
-
-
Naruto was surprised that it was him. Then he remembered the blessing he received to communicate with him.
-
-
Naruto asked a little surprised by Sil's tone.
-
Naruto didn't waste time and activated his [Rinne-Sharingan] to open a portal and enter it.

Where once there was a beautiful landscape with abundant vegetation, beautiful plants and flowers; there was a horrible landscape of a bloody war that caused destruction in the surroundings.
Two great armies faced each other for power and domination of the nine worlds.
On one side, there was the alliance between the worlds of Asgard, Midgard, Svartálfaheim, Alfheim and Vanaheim.
On Asgard's side was a gigantic army composed of the Valkyries, the powerful warriors of Valhalla and the Norse Gods.
On Midgard's side was a gigantic army of powerful Knights and Wizards fighting for their survival.
On Svartálfaheim's side were the Dark Elves; skillfully attacking with powerful Magical attacks. Supporting them were the Nordic Dwarves; although they were not expert fighters, they bravely advanced into battle with their self-made weapons.
On Alfheim's side were the Elves skillfully attacking with their bows and arrows, and with powerful Magical attacks.
And on Vanaheim's side was a great army of Warrior Gods skillfully fighting on the battlefield.
While on the other side, there was the alliance of Helheim, Niflheim, Muspelheim and Jötunheim.
On Helheim's side was a gigantic army of skeletons and zombies, savagely attacking the enemy. And they were led by Hela, the Goddess of Death and the Underworld of Norse Mythology.
On the side of Niflheim, to the surprise of the other side, was the Evil Dragon, Níðhöggr; also known as the Dragon of the Wrath of the Abyss and the Dragon of Extrajudicial Death.
On the side of Muspelheim were the Fire Giants; burning or crushing their opponents without mercy. And they are led by Surtur, the Strongest Fire Giant.
And on the side of Jötunheim were the Frost Giants; advancing and destroying everything around them. And they were led by Þrymr, the King of the Jontu.
Many have already fallen in battle. The battlefield was covered by the corpses of the fallen, along with many craters and great fires.
On one part of the battlefield, there stood an old man with long grey hair, and a matching beard. He wears a gold and white monocle over his left eye, without the addition of the chain. He wears a robe, which is short and blue with a gold lining on the top and bottom of the collar, the sleeves of the robe, and down the front of his robe to the bottom of the robe. The rest of his robe is white with matching shoes. He also wears a gold and black hat, which is divided into five mini sections that sport either the black or gold color. The top, middle, and bottom is gold and the black sections are below and above the middle. The black section features blue orbs at the cardinal points (north, east, west, south, etc.) and between the blue orbs are red dots. In his hands he held a beautiful gold-tipped Corsican-style Spear.
This person is Odin, the main God of Norse Mythology and the God of Wisdom, War, and Death; but he is also considered, although to a lesser extent, the God of Magic, Poetry, Prophecy, Victory and Hunting. And he was carrying his Spear, Gungnir.
In front of Odin, there were the most troublesome enemies of the enemy side.
One is a corpulent man who seems to be about thirty-five years old; he is almost twenty or thirty meters tall and has spiky orange hair. His body has a large build and emits a wild aura. He wears only leather pants and a gigantic sword made of black fire in his hands.
This person is Surtur, the Strongest Fire Giant; carrying his divine sword Lævateinn.
The other is a black-colored Eastern Dragon. It has a large body about twenty meters long and an ochre belly, despite its snake-like appearance, it had four limbs and four wings. It also has disturbingly drooling fluids coming out of its huge mouth.
This being is the Evil Dragon Niðhöggr, also known as the Dragon of the Wrath of the Abyss and the Dragon of Extrajudicial Death.
-"It's time for you to die already, old man!"-
Surtur yelled sharply at Odin.
-"Hehehehe, I'm sorry"- Odin smiled at him. -"But I still have many years to live"-
-"Let's get this over with"- Said Níðhöggr, then licked his lips. -"I always wanted to know what a God tastes like"-
-"Really?"- Odin didn't even flinch at what he said -"Well, I don't think you'll get much to eat in this old body"-
-"Enough of this nonsense!"-
Surtur shouted, then expelled a gigantic pillar of powerful flames from his mouth.
Odin made a movement with his Spear, which caused the pillar of flames to disperse. He then skillfully dodged a ball of black miasma that came out of Níðhöggr's mouth.
The ball of miasma began to corrode the ground upon impact; melting the earth and killing all the plants in the surroundings.
Níðhöggr frowned as he saw that his attack did not work. -"For an old man, you can still move fast."-
-"Hehehehe, yes."- Odin just laughed at Níðhöggr's words. -"But I have become much weaker than when I was younger."-
He then extended his Spear. Then countless blue Nordic Magic Circles appeared around him. Countless amounts of water came out of the Circles, causing a gigantic wave that headed towards Surtur and Níðhöggr.
The two quickly counterattacked; Surtur with his fire breath and Níðhöggr with his black miasma.
Odin took advantage of the situation to start floating so that he was above his two opponents. He again created countless Nordic Magic Circles, where powerful attacks of ice, fire and lightning came out.
The attack caused a gigantic explosion that destroyed everything in the surroundings and covered the entire place with dust. But suddenly, jumping out of the dust was Surtur, a little injured, with his gigantic arm extended wrapped in flames; ready to hit Odin.
Odin quickly created several Defensive Magic Circles between him and Surtur's arm.
Surtur's flaming blow collided and broke all the Defensive Magic Circles as if they were glass. Just as he was about to reach Odin, he quickly used his Spear as a shield.
The blow caused a gigantic burst of fire that completely enveloped Odin.
Surtur smiled as he saw Odin being engulfed in flames; but then opened his eyes in shock as he saw him completely intact.
-"Well done," Odin smiled cheekily. "But you still have many years to go before you beat me."-
He then struck Surtur on the head and sent his gigantic body flying towards the ground.
Odin quickly descended towards the ground with his Spear extended; ready to stab the stunned Surtur; but his warrior instincts quickly warned him of an attack. Then he suddenly used his Spear as a shield, to dodge some gigantic claws. But the impact pushed Odin to the ground anyway; even so he landed on his feet skillfully.
When Odin looked up to look at his attacker, he narrowed his eyes seriously. In front of him was a giant wolf with ash-gray fur, about ten meters tall. On either side of him were two other Wolves; not as tall as him. One had white fur and the other black fur.
Odin quickly recognized them.
They were Fenrir, the God-Eating Wolf and the son of the Evil God Loki. Along with him were his children Sköll and Hati; those in charge of devouring the Sun and the Moon at Ragnarök.
Odio became serious before his new opponents. -"It seems that things got complicated"-
-"Kukukukuku"- Níðhöggr laughed; appearing next to the Wolves, without having any wounds from the attack he received from Odin. -"Do you like our secret weapon?"-
-"Does that mean that Loki is here?"-
Odin asked seriously; wanting to know if said God participated in the war.
-"No; that guy did not want to participate in this war"- Níðhöggr answered, then smiled. -"But he lent us his dogs; on the condition that we kill you"-
Fenrir and his sons growled angrily at being called "dogs".
Surtur appeared next to Níðhöggr, and smiled at Odin. -"Now with this you have no chance against us, old man"-
-"So do us a favor and die already!"-
Níðhöggr shouted at him, then lunged at Odin with his mouth open, showing his sharp teeth covered in black miasma. As if it were a signal, Surtur, Fenrir and his sons also lunged at Odin.
But before they could arrive, an object hit the ground like a bolt of lightning in front of them. Said object was a hammer of extreme beauty that emanated rays.
The hammer then began to levitate, then moved to a place and was grabbed by a man next to Odin. He is a large red-haired man with a red beard, bright electric blue eyes, and was dressed in Nordic battle gear. The man gave off a wild aura of a warrior and a God.
Odin smiled at the sight of the man; while the others growled angrily at seeing a person more dangerous than Odin.
He is Thor, son of Odin and God of Thunder and Strength from Norse Mythology. He was holding his legendary hammer, Mjölnir.
-"Oh, Thor, come to support your old father?"- Odin smiled at his son. -"I thought you were fighting Hela and her dog?"-
Thor smiled back. -"I left them to Vidar and Tyr; they can handle themselves. I better help you before Fenrir kills you like she predicted."-
-"Hehehehehe"- Odin just laughed at his son's words. -"Even if I die, I'll take that dog with me."-
Fenrir got angry at being called a dog. He then lunged forward at lightning speed, to stand in front of Oden with his mouth open, ready to bite him. But he was quickly stopped by a powerful blow from Thor with his hammer wrapped in lightning. The blow caused him to be sent flying to the other side.
-"Let's show what we're made of, father."-
Thor said to Odin with a smile, after having hit Fenrir.
-"Yes!"-
Odin shouted with a smile as he created several Magic Circles around him.
Then they stopped dead before the fight began.
And they weren't the only ones; all the soldiers from both sides stopped and stopped fighting. What stopped them was a strange force; a force that completely dominated everyone's will.
The weakest fainted; while those with more willpower just dropped their weapons in shock and began to tremble.
Odin looked at his trembling hands in shock, then saw that Thor was also trembling slightly. And they were not the only ones; both Surtur and Níðhöggr were also trembling in fear.
Fenrir and his sons were the same; they looked like they were going to fall down from their trembling legs at any moment.
Odin had never trembled in fear; not in battles and much less when it was predicted that Fenrir would kill him at Ragnarök. But this was different; it was as if his will was dominated by someone a thousand times superior to him.
A willpower of a true warrior…
Or even more that of a King…
Odin, seeing this scene, remembered some words that his late father Bor told him before he died.
He will appear exerting his own willpower on others.
Odin was left thinking about those words. Then his thoughts were interrupted by a young voice.
-"Well, let's end this nonsense"-
When Odin was surprised when he looked towards the direction of the voice.

....
A few minutes before, Naruto had left the portal that would bring him to the place where Yggdrasil was.
The moment he arrived, he was surprised how the beautiful landscape he saw the last time, was turned into a battlefield of a brutal war.
-"What's going on here?"-
-"Naruto, you're here!"-
-"Sil"- Naruto looked at all the destruction around him. -"What's going on here?"-
-"A stupid war for power"- Sil said angrily. -"That's what's happening"-
Naruto was surprised to hear that.
-"Death, hatred, senseless destruction; all for the sake of damn power. They don't care about killing and ruining families just to achieve their goal. And that makes me very angry!"- Sil shouted with fury and sadness. -"I've seen them grow since the beginning of time! I've seen them evolve and become the best versions of themselves! Only to end up watching them kill each other!"-
Naruto worried. -"Sil..."-
-"Naruto, p-please stop them"- Sil asked him with a broken voice due to sadness. -"I-I can't stand seeing them like this"-
Naruto nodded seriously. -"Relax, I'll take care of it"-
He didn't waste any time and used [Haoshoku Haki].
The invisible force quickly took over everyone; paralyzing them in place or causing more than one to faint.
-"Thank you, Naruto"- Sil told him gratefully. -"I don't know what you did, but thank you"-
-"You're welcome"- Naruto told him with a smile. -"Now we just have to reach an agreement between everyone for this war"-
-"You can talk to the leaders of each world"- Sil answered. -"Most of them are gathered"-
-"Where?"-
Naruto asked him. The answer he got was that a path of flowers appeared right in front of him.
-"Follow the flowers; they will take you to them"-
Naruto nodded, then began to follow the path of flowers; without stopping using the [Haoshoku Haki].
After walking for a while, and seeing that the path of flowers ended, he stopped and looked at the paralyzed people in front of him. Those people are Odin, Thor, Surtur, Níðhöggr, Fenrir and the latter's children.
Naruto, feeling that they were the most powerful in the place, assumed that they were the leaders.
-"Well, let's end this nonsense"- Naruto told them seriously, drawing the attention of the others. -"You must be the leaders, or at least some of them"-
Naruto looked at them calmly, as he stopped using the [Haoshoku Haki]. Although they stopped feeling the force, they were still paralyzed and silent.
-"Well, this is what we are going to do"- Naruto became serious again. -"You will leave this foolish war aside and we will come to a solution that does not involve unnecessary death"-
The others remained silent; but only one spoke and he did not agree at all with what Naruto said.
-"Don't fuck with me!"- Surtur shouted angrily. -"We will not end this war until we, the Fire Giants, rule the nine worlds!"-
-"So you want to continue this war?"- Naruto asked him seriously. -"Regardless of all your friends dying?"-
Surtur looked at him seriously. -"It is a price that must be paid to obtain power"-
Naruto looked at Surtur seriously. -"You are Surtur, the Strongest Fire Giant, right?"-
Surtur didn't say anything.
-"I'll take that silence as a yes"- Naruto said, then he started walking calmly around Surtur. -"Hey, do some research on yourself; you are the Strongest Fire Giant there has ever been, and that's why your people chose you as the leader of Muspelheim..."-
Surtur and the others listened to him in silence.
-"You are strong; that could not be denied"- Naruto looked at him seriously. -"But you are not a leader"-
Surtur was confused. -"Huh?"-
-"A leader protects his people"- Naruto said seriously. -"He takes care of them, teaches them to be better people and is a deliverer of hope"-
Everyone opened their eyes upon hearing that.
-"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers. They can cut through any argument, debate, and doubt, and offer a solution that everyone can understand..."-
Naruto continued calmly, then looked at Surtur seriously.
-"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become something more, then you are a leader. Those are the people who find ways to connect with their people and help them reach their full potential or achieve greater progress..."- Then his gaze would change to one of anger. -"Unnecessary war is nothing more than mass murder, and murder is not progress. The mark of a great Leader is not his ability to wage war... But to achieve peace."-
Everyone was silent and also in shock upon hearing Naruto's words.
Some thought what he said; while others lowered their heads in shame.
The most embarrassed was Odin. When he received the declaration of war from Muspelheim, Helheim, Niflheim and Jötunheim, he didn't even try to find a more peaceful and less violent solution to solve the problem. He just prepared for war; sending his people to certain death.
-"Do you think I care about that...?"-
Surtur spoke sharply.
Everyone heard his words. That caused them to look at him in surprise, and the Fire Giants looked at him in shock.
-"I don't care how many die!"- Surtur shouted angrily. -"As long as we can rule the nine worlds, none of that will matter!"-
Naruto sighed. -"You are such an idiot"-
-"I don't know who you are; or what you did earlier"- Surtur said, then he was covered by patent raging flames, while his body grew to almost reach a hundred meters. The mere presence of those flames burned the ground. -"But I won't let you get away alive for insulting me!"-
Naruto looked at him seriously. -"Then I have no choice but to stop you."-
-"Die!"-
Surtur yelled at him, then sent his fist engulfed in flames at him. Due to the size difference, Naruto had to look up to see the giant flaming fist heading towards him.
Naruto only raised his right hand; to stop Surtur's punch and do something else.
When Surtur's fist touched his hand, Naruto calmly invoked his counterattack.
-"[Logia: Aisu Taimu]"-
In less than a second, Surtur's body froze; turning him into a gigantic ice statue.
Everyone looked at the scene in shock.
-"Calm down"- Naruto told everyone. -"Since he's a Fire Giant, he didn't die from freezing. But..."-
Then he took out a paper with a seal from his clothes, and put it on Surtur's frozen body. When the seal was put on, several chains of seals surrounded the frozen body.
Naruto smiled. -"With this he is completely sealed"-
Everyone looked at Naruto in shock.
-"Im-Impossible"- Said a Midgard knight in shock. -"He defeated Surtur easily"-
-"Lord Surtur..."-
Said a Fire Giant in shock.
-"Who is that guy?"-
A Dark Elf asked surprised.
For them it is a surprise; After all, Surtur is a being of great power, capable of engulfing the nine worlds in flames, as prophesied for Ragnarök. Clearly Surtur was at the level of a God or even more.
-"Well, since one problem has been solved"- Naruto looked seriously at the others. -"It's time we talk about making an alliance and stopping this war"-
-"I don't agree with that"-
Then a voice spoke above them.
When Naruto and the others looked up, they could see a man. He is a handsome man with eyes similar to those of a criminal. He has light blue hair that floats behind him with two small bangs down to his shoulders. He also has three blue jewels on his forehead and yellow earrings. And he is wearing a white robe.
Everyone, except Naruto, recognized him.
It was Loki, the Evil God and the God of Deception from Norse Mythology.
Thor got angry at seeing him. -"Loki!"-
Odin looked at him seriously. -"So you finally show your presence"-
Loki just smiled at them. -"And you are still alive; much to my annoyance"-
-"Father!"-
A woman spoke, arriving at the place next to a large wolf. She is a beautiful woman with a tall figure, with long hair mixed in red and blue, dressed in a tunic with black and white colors as the basic tone. The wolf that came with her is five meters tall. It has jet black fur and bright red eyes.
These people are Hela, the Goddess of Death and the Underworld of Norse Mythology, and ruler of Helheim; next to her is Garm, the terrible dog that guards the doors of Hela's home in Helheim.
-"Oh, Hela"- Loki smiled at his daughter; although his tone of voice did not show that he was happy. -"It seems that you failed in your mission"-
Hela lowered her head in shame. -"I'm sorry father, I-"-
-"Don't give me excuses"- Loki interrupted him seriously. -"I only gave you the mission to kill Thor and you failed miserably"-
-"Bu-But-"-
-"But nothing"- Loki looked at him seriously. -"You will always be my biggest failure among my creations"-
Hela looked down with tears in her eyes.
Loki then smiled at the others. -"It's time for me to take charge"-
Odin looked at him seriously. -"What are you talking about, Loki?"-
-"Oh, I thought you already knew that"- Loki smiled at him. -"I was the cause of this war"-
Everyone was surprised to hear that.
-"What?"-
Thor muttered in surprise.
-"Yes; you see, I've always wanted to start Ragnarök. But then I thought: what good would it do me to destroy everything?"- Loki smiled. -"To later realize that instead of destroying it, I had to rule it"-
Everyone listened in silence.
-"So I started organizing this war"- Loki continued, still smiling. -"First I created an army; that part was easy. I already had the Jontus and Hela under my command, and it was easy to fool that fool Surtur. As well as making a little deal with Níðhöggr"-
Níðhöggr then flew to his side. -"Yes. And I hope you keep your part of the deal"-
-"Relax"- Loki smiled at him. -"When this is over, you can gnaw on the roots of Yggdrasil"-
-"I'm already looking forward to that"-
Níðhöggr said, while licking his lips.
-"How scary!"-
Yggdrasil shouted in a low voice; of course, only being heard by Naruto.
-"But the most problematic thing was getting rid of two annoyances"- Loki, still smiling, looked at Odin. -"You and Thor"-
Thor looked at him angrily and Odin seriously.
-"I thought they would die if I let Fenrir and his children participate in the battle"- Loki said, then looked at Naruto with a sneer. -"But a disgusting human interrupted him"-
Naruto looked at Loki seriously and with a bit of anger.
-"But since I'm here now, I'll take care of everything myself"-
With a smile, Loki then snapped his fingers, and then behind him appeared a gigantic Nordic Magic Circle.
The Magic Circle caused a great glow that illuminated everything in the surroundings. Then gigantic shadows appeared from the Magic Circle. When the glow disappeared, hundreds of gigantic beings could be seen.
They were gray Eastern Dragons, with enormous bodies that measured around three to two hundred meters long.
All the members of Norse Mythology opened their eyes in shock as they recognized the Dragons.
-"Miðgarðsormr..."-
Thor muttered in shock.
Odin became serious. -"Oh more like hundreds of clones of him..."-
The Dragons they saw were clones of Miðgarðsormr, also known as Jörmundgander; one of the Five Great Dragon Kings. Also known as the Sleeping Dragon, The Dragon of the End, The Midgard Serpent and the World Serpent.
Loki smiled at them. -"Do you like my creations?"-
Everyone looked at Loki in shock.
-"It was difficult at first to create a huge amount of them"- Loki's smile became more evil. -"But there is nothing I can't do"-
Thor became serious. -"This has become complicated..."-
-"True; but remember, son"- Odin smiled at him. -"We are warriors who are ready to die for their people."-
Thor smiled upon hearing that. -"You are right."-
He was then enveloped in powerful lightning.
-"Oh, such confidence; that will kill them."- Loki mocked. -"Don't you realize that you are at a disadvantage?"-
-"That is not true Loki!"- A man who was approaching the place shouted. -"You are at a disadvantage!"-
He is a corpulent and elderly man, about thirty meters tall, with long, straight snow-white hair. He has a large build and emits a cold aura. He wears large blue winter clothes.
This person is Þrymr, the King of the Jontu and ruler of Jötunheim.
Þrymr looked at Loki angrily. -"I will not let you use my people to die in this war again!"-
Many Frost Giants also shouted in support of their King.
-"We will not accept this either!"- A Fire Giant shouted. -"The Fire Giants will not obey you anymore!"-
He was supported by other Fire Giants.
-"Really?"- Loki frowned. -"Don't tell me that foolish speech made you change your mind."-
-"Yes. I am ashamed for having listened to you and bringing my people to die in this war. But I will not listen to you anymore!"- Þrymr shouted angrily, while receiving support from the Ice Giants. -"I will not let you kill my people for your selfish desire!"-
-"So will we"- Shouted a Fire Giant, who also received support from the Fire Giants. -"We will not let you bring more death to the Fire Giants!"-
Þrymr then looked at Odin seriously. -"Odin, please let us fight by your side to defeat Loki once and for all."-
-"We Fire Giants will also help!"-
The Fire Giants also wanted to help.
Odin looked at the scene in surprise, then smiled.
-"Work together to stop this war?"- Odin asked with a smile. -"Why would I refuse?"-
Then everyone looked at Loki seriously; ready for the battle that would decide the fate of the nine worlds. But before they started to attack, a gigantic barrier was created in front of them, separating them from Loki and his army.
-"I'm sorry"- Naruto spoke to him with a smile, being on the other side of the barrier with Loki. -"But I can't let you keep dying"-
Odin was surprised. -"What?"-
-"Leave it to me"- Naruto smiled at them distrustfully. -"I'll fight for you"-
Everyone blinked in surprise upon hearing that; with only one question in their minds, which only Thor could ask.
-"Who are you?"-
-"Huh? Ah, that's right, I hadn't introduced myself"- Naruto said, then looked at everyone with a smile. -"I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze"-
Then he walked to where Loki was.
Without noticing that his introduction caused everyone to open their eyes in shock.
-"I see"- Loki said with impression in his voice. -"Who would say that the person who ruined my plan was the famous Sun of the Underworld"-
-"What can I say?"- Naruto smiled at him. -"It's not the first time I ruined the plans of an Evil God"-
Loki raised an eyebrow upon hearing that, then put it aside.
-"Whatever; not even someone as powerful as you can face my greatest creation."- Loki said with an evil smile, then looked at Fenrir. -"Kill him..."-
Fenrir quickly obeyed and began to slowly approach Naruto in a threatening manner while growling.
Naruto looked at him calmly, then used his [Haoshoku Haki] again, but only on Fenrir.
Fenrir felt the invisible force suppressing his willpower. He then froze in place and began to tremble slightly.
-"You have a peculiar ability"- Loki said, still smiling. -"But it's nothing Fenrir can't overcome"-
As if it was a signal; Fenrir released a powerful growl, then walked back towards Naruto without being affected by the [Haoshoku Haki].
Naruto raised an eyebrow at that.
-(Well, I think now is the time to use that gift they gave me...)-
Naruto thought; now ready to use the gift Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun, gave him.
He then looked Fenrir straight in the eyes, and that's how it all began.
An enormous bloodlust invaded Fenrir; it was strong enough to cause him to be paralyzed in place and begin to tremble greatly.
For Fenrir it was like at any moment he was going to die in a horrible and grotesque way if he looked away from Naruto. He had never felt so afraid; not even when he was predicted to die at the hands of the God Vidar, the God of Silence, Vengeance and Justice of Norse Mythology.
Naruto was not surprised to see Fenrir's reaction; after all the killer instinct that was gifted to him was a very powerful and dangerous ability.
The first time Naruto used it was during his time training his new abilities; at that time it caused all of his Senseis, like the Bijūs to faint. You could literally kill a person just by releasing it uncontrollably. But thanks to hard training, Naruto was able to control it.
Seeing Fenrir completely scared, Naruto began to walk calmly towards him.
Fenrir seeing that began to slowly back away in fear.
Loki seeing that opened his eyes in shock.
Fenrir stopped backing away when he saw Naruto in front of him with his right arm extended towards him. Before he was about to touch him, Fenrir closed his eyes and lowered his head in fear; preparing for the worst.
But as fast as the hills, he opened them when he felt that he had not been hit.
Instead, they were caressing his head tenderly.
- "Oh, you're not that bad" -
Naruto said with a smile, while continuing to caress Fenrir's head. Then he moved on to caress behind his ears.
The sudden caresses caused Fenrir to start wagging his tail happily. He didn't even notice that he was no longer enveloped by the killing instinct. Then he began to approach Naruto, asking to be petted more.
-"Wh-What?"-
Loki said in shock upon seeing the scene.
He was seeing his greatest creation; a being that was capable of hurting or killing Gods with its teeth and claws. A being that has a power that rivals the Two Celestial Dragons, and is among the 10 Strongest Beings in the World.
But now that being was completely dominated by a few caresses, as if it were a domestic dog...
-"I can't believe what I'm seeing..."-
Thor said, also being in shock upon seeing the scene.
Odin had the same reaction as his son. -"Yes..."-
The other inhabitants of the nine worlds also looked at the scene in shock.
Loki then stopped being surprised and became furious.
-"Fenrir, what are you doing!?"-
Fenrir looked at Loki for a moment, then returned to enjoying Naruto's caresses.
-"Stupid dog!" Loki shouted angrily, then looked at Fenrir's children. - Sköll, Hati, take care of it-!"-
Then he opened his eyes in shock as he saw Fenrir's children join in the petting.
-"They're so adorable"-
Naruto said with a smile, still petting the Wolves.
-"Damn dogs!"- Loki shouted angrily, as an icy blue aura surrounded him. -"Obey me!"-
The Wolves looked at him for a moment and then looked back at Naruto; having a conflict on what to do.
-"I bet he never treated you like that, did he?"-
Naruto asked them, drawing the Wolves' attention.
The Wolves were left thinking about what Naruto said. To Loki, they were just weapons for his selfish goals and they obeyed him without question; no matter how cruel he treated them or how many experiments he did on them.
After a few seconds of thinking, Fenrir walked away from Naruto to stand in front of Loki.
-"Father... I'm sorry"-
Fenrir spoke to Loki seriously; surprising Naruto, since he didn't know he could speak.
-"Oh, you finally come to your senses"- Loki smiled again. -"Now kill him as I ordered you"-
-"No, I'm sorry"- Fenrir told him seriously. -"Since I won't obey you again"-
That surprised Loki and the others, and caused Naruto to smile.
-"What!?"- Loki became furious. -"How dare you-!"-
-"You will no longer control me, nor my children"- Fenrir interrupted him seriously. -"From now on we will be free"-
He received growls of support from Sköll and Hati.
-"You, damn it! I believe you! Without me you are nothing!"- Loki shouted angrily, then looked at Naruto. -"I don't know what you did to make them stop obeying me, but I will stop it!"- Then he looked at the Miðgarðsormrs and pointed at Naruto. -"Miðgarðsormrs, kill him!"-
The Dragons quickly reacted and pounced on Naruto.
Fenrir and his children stood in front of Naruto to protect him; but he calmly walked towards them.
-"Relax, I'll take care of it"-
Naruto told him with a smile; then with his left arm he sent chakra to the six bracelets of different colors that were on his right arm. Then he hit the palm of his right hand on the ground.
-"[Kuchiyose no Jutsu]!"-
Naruto shouted, and then six gigantic explosions of smoke occurred.
Suddenly, everyone in the surroundings were paralyzed when they felt powerful auras coming from the smoke explosions.
Odin opened his eyes in shock when he recognized one of the auras. An aura belonging to a being of countless power that had disappeared millions of years ago.
And he was not the only one who recognized the aura.
-(Impossible!)-
Niðhöggr thought in shock when he felt a familiar aura.
.....
...
....
....
Deep in the gigantic sea of Midgard, a gray eastern dragon was sleeping, with a huge body that measures around five to six hundred meters long.
This Dragon is Miðgarðsormr, one of the Five Great Dragon Kings. Known as the Sleeping Dragon, the Dragon of the End, the Midgard Serpent and the World Serpent.
Miðgarðsormr was sleeping peacefully; then he suddenly woke up when he recognized an aura very familiar to him.
-(This aura... There is none, he returned)-
Miðgarðsormr then smiled, then flew out of the sea and headed towards the place where the aura came from.
.....
...
....
....
When the smoke dispersed, six enormous creatures could be seen.
One is a large red-winged bird, which seemed to be on fire. The other is a black-scaled Western Dragon with purple details. The other is a gigantic white tiger with black stripes. The other is a gigantic gorilla with brown fur. The other is a large wolf with snow-white fur. And the last was a large white fox with eight tails.
These beings are Ronan, Onix, Yakko, Rira, Shiroi and Hitomi. Leaders of the Legendary Summons.
The summons quickly turned their gazes towards Naruto.
-"What can we do for you, Naruto-sama?"-
Ronan asked politely.
-"Yes; excuse me for calling you like that all of a sudden"- Naruto told him, then pointed at the paralyzed Dragons. -"I need you to take care of them"-
-"Oh? Are those clones of Miðgarðsormr?"- Onix asked interested. -"Interesting"-
-"Well, for you Onix I have a special opponent"-
Naruto said with a smile, while pointing at the paralyzed Niðhöggr.
Niðhöggr was looking at Onix with surprise and fear.
-"Niðhöggr?"- Onix asked, then smiled. -"Leave it to me"-
Then he flew towards Niðhöggr.
-"And we will take care of these snakes!"-
Rira shouted, while hitting her chest repeatedly.
Then all the summons rushed to attack the Dragons. The Dragons, having no other option, also rushed to attack.
Loki, trying to take advantage of the situation, created a gigantic Nordic Magic Circle; ready to attack the summons with magic.
But before he attacked, Naruto appeared floating in front of him with a smile. -"Hey, I'm your opponent."-
Loki just gave him an angry look.
And so the battle began. The Evil God Loki vs Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze.
A battle that would decide the fate of the nine worlds of Yggdrasil.
TO BE CONTINUED!!!
