The prison door creaked shut as Naruto landed roughly on the cold concrete floor in a heap. He slumped to the ground and let out an exhausted sigh.
Naruto was giving it his all, he was trying his hardest to keep cool because snapping in a situation like this would do more harm than good and the confined space he was in wasn't helping.
Of course, Naruto could have escaped if he wanted to but he needed to prove his innocence one way or another and the main factor behind that was Kunou, she was like a little sister to him and the mere thought of her labeling him a traitor felt sickening.
Naruto sat on the floor feeling helpless as he heard the hurried footsteps of brave youkai soldiers rushing to battle. He should be among them. Curse his hero complex but this was his fight! They came for him! Naruto told it all to the nine-tailed leader and managed to reduce her anger but her suspicion was still there.
Everything hurts. His seared face, Yasaka's distrust, The Hero Faction, The Hero Faction's latest stunt… The Hero Faction. How Naruto loathed that organization. This was like the Konoha invasion all over again!
"You want to prove your innocence? Stay put!" Yasaka's voice echoed in his brain.
Naruto sat cross-legged and willed his eyelids shut as he placed both palms face up on each other and for the first time in months, he could sense chakra signatures running around. Yasaka stood out the most as she was drawing energy from Kyoto itself. It was very similar to Senin modo but this method only absorbed spiritual energy, an enormous amount of spiritual energy.
Naruto's eyes snapped wide open when he sensed Perseus's life force accompanied by four others fighting Yasaka and Genryu, whose signature was moving away from the battle at a rapid pace.
His eyes would have widened even further if it could as an 'out of the world' signature entered his senses. They were lifeless, black without form or shape as they stormed the gates of Kyoto mixed with a fair number of humans. Naruto frantically searched for Kunou's signature and his blood went cold when he sensed her location.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."
Three clones sitting crossed-legged appeared in the cell as the original Naruto flexed his chakra and broke the weird suppression seal on his chakra and the door before he took off at amazing speeds.
(In the Front lines)
Yasaka rolled over a huge fist from a huge monster as it unearthed a huge portion of the soil. The shadow beast had the likeness of a huge one-eyed Ogre equipped with a huge spiked club. For now, she's managed to reactivate the barrier thus stopping the huge number of shadow beasts from entering the capital and she ordered an evacuation of all citizens near the battlefield. Genryu left the frontline under Yasaka's orders to keep her daughter safe.
"Give up and let yourself be captured."
Leonardo, the wielder of the Longinus-tier Sacred Gear, Annihilation Maker, spoke as he watched her struggle against one of his creations. Leonardo is a dark-skinned young boy with purple eyes and gray-blue hair.
Yasaka spared a glance at her childhood friend who was stuck with two humans with blue eyes and blonde hair. Golden orbs flashed with anger when a certain blue-eyed human flashed through her mind. That treacherous bastard will be hanged as punishment for his sins.
"A shadow's greatest weakness is light."
She said as she released a massive stream of fire from her hands setting the horrendous creature and its brethren in a blazing inferno. Leonardo walked out unscathed from the fire shaking his head in disappointment.
Shadows appeared from Leonardo's feet and they extended and grew five times the height of Yasaka. The shadows broke into five parts as they took the form of the giant Ogre she set ablaze but this time, it was as if they were covered in mist, a black liquid substance trickled from their bodies as they charged forward. Yasaka threw a fireball proportional to their size which erupted into a curtain of fire as it smashed into the Charging creatures. She had little time to react as the first one burst through the flames slightly charred with its leg swung backward for a devastating kick. Thanks to her small and nimble form she was able to propel herself at the Ogre's head with her fist covered in golden flames, she punched the monster right in the face sending it back at its creator. She suppressed a smirk as the mass of shadow flew back at its owner,
"You're wide open," Leonardo said as he stretched an arm forward and absorbed the oncoming monster, and retreated to his shadow. A huge palm slapped Yasaka away, making her release a short cry of pain as she bounced off the floor.
"Yasaka!" The blonde Neko called her friend in worry. She made haste forward but a thin stream of light stopped her courtesy Le fay, Pendragon. She wanted to go assist her friend but these two blondes were in the way. A skilled swordsman and a powerful magician were a handful for her.
"Hang tight, Yasaka I'm coming."
(In Kyoto)
"Kunou-sama! Where are you?!" Genryu screamed as he raced across the desolate streets of Kyoto. The smell of blood filled the air as he ran around. Houses were toppled and massive shadow monsters roamed the streets, eating the corpses of women, children, and men alike. He searched, pushing his body past its limit as he searched around for Kunou. He fell to his feet in pure defeat as he saw Yasaka's fox form, something he was honored to see once in battle, fall to a two-headed, eastern dragon. It coiled around her form and one head latched onto her neck and the other opened its mouth wide open and charged up a purple orb.
"Haha-ue!" A high-pitched shriek emanating from behind the Youkai general tore through the air, A voice he recognized well. He watched as Kunou ran past him, her kimono stained with so much blood he almost couldn't recognize it anymore. Genryu fell face-first onto a heap of dirt with a thought resonating with the despair he felt.
"W-we lost."
