Chapter 40

"I believe it won't be fair with just two of them. You won't mind if I join will you?" Orochi stepped forward after observing the situation. He agreed with the girls about the fight, but Ino was a very weak point even if Naruto gave her a boost.

"More the merrier as it seems that Lord Uzumaki wishes to see us bully his concubines." The lead antagonist antagonized before jumping into the arena with his partner.

It got the reaction he desired, angering the girls. Regardless, Naruto gave a nod and sent Orochi with them.

Before sending Ino and Orochi, Naruto boosted their powers.

Sage Arts: Nature's Blessing

Ino and Orochi stood in front of Naruto as he gathered his Six Paths Senjutsu to draw fuinjutsu seals on their bodies. Golden seals were imprinted on their bodies giving them an insane boost by allowing them excess to 1 percent of Naruto's Six Paths chakra. For a limited time, Orochi and Ino were able to utilize the Six Paths mode boost in power.

The natural seal would have even allowed them a 100 time boost, but that was not enough. On the other hand, the Six Path was around 1000 times. It was a gigantic jump in power that allowed base Naruto who wasn't even city level to jump to continental in power.

The large boost in power shocked the onlookers and made them see Naruto in a different light as majority of them couldn't boost anyone's power to such an extent.

Sage Arts: Sea of life

Following that boost, Naruto used one of the other abilities he learnt from the sage. Slamming his palm on the ground, a magical circle spread around Ino and Orochi before drowning them in golden mud. The substance of the Sea of Life fundamentally remade any organism that entered unto the Sea as a "Child of Uzumaki Naruto" that allowed them an arbitrary selection of the following Skills: Regeneration, Pre-cognition, Danger sense, Elemental boost, chakra barrier and battle spirit. Upon emergence from the Mud, the Children are imposed with a cellular-level Geis automatically rendering them unable to fight against Naruto.

This allowed Ino and Orochi to endure the boost they got from the Six Paths chakra, or they would have died soon enough from their cellular structure collapsing from the strain not meant for their body. Regardless, the change was temporary and wouldn't last more than an hour since Naruto was still unable to completely accomplish such a thing.

Nonetheless, it was more than what others had expected and he had showed the Immortals that he was truly worthy of his position on the council.

Emerging from the golden mud, Ino looked at her body with awe. She felt invincible.

'Is this how he feels?' Ino finally grasped what Naruto felt, and it was immense. She almost exploded if not for the support skill.

"Now, I don't think we can ever lose. It's about to get unfair for these blocks." Ino said with a confident smirk as she hugged Naruto and gave him a kiss on the cheeks.

"Lord Uzumaki, I will not let you down. This blessing is an honor that I will never forget." Orochi felt his respect for Naruto grow once again. He had lost some after his continued arrogance towards the Great Immortals, but it was within expectations.

There was great future in the making that was led by Naruto, and Orochi understood this point. As such he was willing to serve the leader of the new world and the young man had similar values to him.

With the preparations done, the trio flew into the arena where the foe stood waiting for them.

"Are you going to fight us alone?" Hinata asked as she stood in front of the others as the leader.

The foe looked backed at the other man and smiled, "Yeah, I think I can handle it alone. My name is Deimos and I am the son of Ares. I am the great warrior that puts fear into others to the point that fall before the battle has even begun.

The fear I represent is greater than death, greater than anything you have ever faced, so can you handle it now?" Deimos walked closer to Hinata with slow steps, crushing the ground beneath him. He was encased in dark armor and looked extremely terrifying.

His size made the trio look tiny and the aura of fear was enough to kill all living things in the normal world instantly.

Before Hinata could step in, Ino stepped in, "Hinata, please allow me a chance."

It seems Ino believed that Hinata could make the fight one sided, so she wanted a chance to fight with her new abilities and show her abilities.

She wanted to accomplish something, and show Naruto a great sight.

"I will interfere if it looks dangerous."

"I will trust your judgment." With those words Ino was left without Hinata's protection, the truth seeking balls barrier.

Normally, Ino would have been crushed by the aura but she was able to fight it. Deimos fear aura felt oppressive the closer he got and Ino forced herself to face it. She focused her mental abilities, creating mental blocks and barriers around her mind to stop the fear aura.

However, he continued to break through them with ease.

Understanding that she needed the boost from her partner, Ino used her fusion form with Mothra. She grew in size with two large antenna and shiny wings while her body was covered in an ethereal white dress.

With the fusion form, Ino reached Kage level in base form and with the Six Paths boost she was at moon level. But the main point was the fact that Mothra allowed Ino to increase her affinity for mental abilities and gave her access to unique psychic abilities.

With a flap of her wings, Ino sent a psychic wave that crashed against Deimos. It was enough to blast away anything that it came across but Deimos took it casually.

Ino build a maze of multiple layers inside her mind to counter the fear aura while projecting the extreme fear she felt when Deimos first appeared on to Deimos himself.

However, it didn't work on him. It was clear that Deimos had a high resistance to fear or immunity. Seeing that it didn't work, Ino followed it up with a psychic beam from her antennas.

It was a powerful purple beam that caused confusion and mind break from its aura alone.

"Is that all you got, I thought you had something to feel confident about. You are nothing but a leech. Let me show you, how you to use that power." Deimos muttered with a smile while his fear aura increased in intensity causing Ino's shields to break and her to attack to weaken.

He walked through the beam and stood in front of Ino as she held her head trying to fight his aura. The giant placed his foot on Ino's head and pushed it into the ground, humiliating her.

It almost made Naruto fly into the arena, but he held back while gripping his hands hard to the point of bleeding.

On the other hand, Ino was trying to build up her defence.

She continuously built mental barriers in intricate design to see them fall. It all seemed so futile, and she almost called for help.

Seeing the expression on Naruto's face, she was reminded of her goal that the fear had driven out. Ino was reminded that she didn't have to think small as she had a boost of power beyond her level.

With that in mind, Ino went beyond creating a simple maze and started building a maze that was bigger than anything she had ever made.

It was bigger than a city. It had more than a thousand layers and each wall was made up of smaller barriers.

The intricate and expansive mental barrier of such level was finally able to give Ino the chance to breath and she used the chance given by the foe's arrogance to drown Deimos in a sea of memories. Ino had thought about what she could use as an ultimate move, and after working with Naruto it hit her in the face.

She could use the memories as a means of damaging the mind of her enemies. Ino had stored memories of Naruto and many other people in an area that was like a library and with just a glance Ino sent memories that were worth thousands of years to a normal person.

Deimos was confused by the sudden infusion of memories that had broken through his mental barrier, and Ino focused her psychic powers to pull him in all directions to rip his body apart at the atomic level.

"Bloody whore!"
