Chapter 55

Seeing the vast improvement of the human world, Gamabunta decided to enlist Naruto's help to level up the realm of the toads.

The toad summons lived in a dimension connected to earth, and they came into being because of the Sage of Six Paths to help the human world. However, now that strength wasn't enough. It was a small world consisting of only a single planet and an artificial sun.

The great Toad Sage was the strongest among them and even he wasn't strong enough to count in the new world.

As such, the toads had asked Konoha for ways of improvement other than the traditional methods. Even they understood that normal methods wouldn't help them and they wouldn't be able to help anymore.

However, they were against genetic manipulation and robotic implants. The task fell upon Tsunade and Orochimaru's team, where they decided to force the toads bodies to improve naturally.

It all came down to Choji's idea along with Naruto's idea.

Naruto's idea was simple, he would just increase the concentration of natural energy in their small dimension. He could drain a star or two and send the energy into the small world. Having such large influx of energy in a small space would cause the beings living their to adapt to it and by adapting to the energy of the stars, they would definitely grow to higher levels and many of them would end up learning Sage mode.

There was the danger of the toads dying to the high exposure, so Naruto thought of a barrier on every one of them that would slowly increase the level of exposure to the natural energy.

On the other hand, Choji's idea was about self evolving and adapting cells. He wanted to grow stronger by fighting and eating, utilizing the natural disposition of the Akimichi clan.

It meant that by eating, their cells would grow and take in the benefits of other species naturally. It was a simple but effective idea. However, to make things work the cells needed to be put into a stressful situation to actually grow in an ideal manner.

-----------------------------

Moving on from helping the toads and growing the other monstrous beings of the world, once again some one had contacted Hell Girl.

In the middle of a lake under the moonlight, a crippled old man was trying to drown himself. The man was filled with scars and wore torn clothes. He was a begger whose chakra system seemed to have been crippled as well.

The man was extremely drunk, which led to his trauma taking over him and he ended up trying to drown to escape from the pain.

In his awake state, the man was scared of dying or he would have already killed himself from the shame and guilt.

The water called him back from the world of illusions, and the man rose to the surface of the water.

"Once again, I have run away from death….Why won't you let me die? This cowardly heart, why won't you fucking stop already." The man muttered in a painful voice as he beat his chest painfully, but not with the strength to break his ribcage.

Once upon a time, he had been a shinobi and now he was a nobody. Hated by humans and looked down upon by other shinobi. He could only live by hiding as a begger, and destroying his face or his old enemies would kill him.

He was stronger than the normal human, but even a genin could kill him now.

"You would have loved this place, Akiko." The man said as he took in his surroundings, it was a nice place with crystal clear water and beautiful flowers.

Just then he heard some noise, and hid inside the water immediately. Cutting his arm, he utilized the pure life force inside his blood for oxygen and enhanced eye sight. It was less effective than chakra and more dangerous, but he had no other choice anymore.

He saw in the darkness a normal girl who stopped at the edge of the lake. He couldn't understand why she was there.

However, it didn't take long to know as the girl called for the Hell Girl. He had no idea what that was, but he saw the little girl vanish for a second and come back with a doll made of straw with a red ribbon.

The girl seemed to desire the death of a shinobi who had toyed with her and left her after getting bored. Seeing such a thing, the man asked for help.

He didn't know what she was, but the name was strong.

"Please send the Raikage Ay to hell for me." That was the deepest desire of the man as the Raikage had killed his wife and family. The man had attempted to assassinate the Raikage and paid the price of his foolishness as the Raikage had killed everyone related to him and the client.

He had been an unlucky survivor as the Raikage had blown apart his legs and thrown him down a mountain. There he had ended up in a pool of water that was filled with healing liquid from some magical fruits.

Ai was summoned naturally and she gave him the doll. However, unlike the other target this was very close to home.

'Lord Loss, I can't accept this request.' Ai resisted as even if the Raikage was a bad person, he had now changed and was working with Naruto.

'You can't deny a request, Ai. You can't just stop because of personal reasons. Do you want me to kill, Na. Ru. To?' Lord Loss really enjoyed playing with his new vessel as she was not broken and was a lively person with good connections.

'Why are you trying to hurt him? Don't you want to kill the sinners, not the innocent?'

'Ai, I am a demon lord. There is no such things as human morals in my world. I just prefer evil humans over innocent ones. That doesn't mean I don't like playing with them as well. I gain absolute joy from the pain and suffering of other creatures. So, it is better for you move along now before you end being part of that suffering.' To him there was no point in lying as the boy had already warned her against him.

'He will beat you if you continue this.'

'Hahaha, that's a funny joke my little toy. None of these humans are going to ever save you from me. Your little hero is a drop in the ocean of my power, and I am unfortunately the weakest demon lord. There are 72 of us, and he would have to defeat all of them before he could even reach me. Do you see the hopelessness of your situation?'

'He will beat your ass.' Ai stepped back before looking him straight and declaring her belief in Naruto's ascendance.

'I really hate such talks, Ai. Hope, such a disgusting feeling. How about we start now, and get some delectable fear and desperation.' With those words, Ai found herself moving towards Ay.

The Raikage was in his office along with Mabui as he planned his path for the new world. Ever since the war he had to do everything in a proper manner without utilizing brute force and threats because of Naruto. It had made things difficult and emboldened the weaklings.

Now he had to actually negotiate proper terms with smaller lands for their routes and resources as Naruto would interfere if he turned to violence.

Those weaklings didn't understand what he was trying to do and they only made the improvement of humanity slower by showing their greed. But, there was no winning over the boy who wished to give choices to everyone.

Because of his reluctance for force, they were now forced to watch Apocalypse drink the Hero water in front of them and not get a sip. Ay had hoped that Naruto would see reason when some one denied him crucial resources, but the young man was completely set on his path.

"Mabui, give me some good news." Ay dropped the reports and leaned back into his chair before asking for something good from his assistant and wife.

"For now we don't have anything concrete, but we are extremely close to finishing our new project and with it we should be able to bring balance to the world again." Mabui answered calmly she passed him the file with the reports on the construction of the ultimate weapon.

Just as he picked up the file and felt excited at the prospect of his dream coming true, he saw his worst nightmare.

Naruto appeared at his door and it didn't look like he was in a good mood. Quickly removing the file from sight, Ay stood up to greet him.

"Naruto boy, isn't this time inappropriate for sudden visits. Or, do you have something important to discuss now."

"There is no inappropriate time. I command your obedience whenever I desire, and there is nothing you can do about it. Regardless, I am here for something very important."

Hearing those words made Ay extremely uncomfortable and angry.

'Why is he speaking like that? There is no way he can become like this in a single day. Is this an illusion? But, his presence so heavy.'

"Ofcourse, please sit. Mabui, can you bring out some drinks for us."

Just as Mabui turned around, Naruto's hand landed on her shoulder and Ay witnessed with horror as his wife was devoured by the darkness.

Ay attacked but it was pointless, he was like a child beating against the immortal mountain.

"Why?"

"Why? Isn't it obvious. I know what you have done. Your father tried to kidnap my mother to breed her, and you went after my fiance to breed her. Your disgusting desire led to her uncle's death and further tragedy in the Hyuga family. And now, you didn't appreciate my forgiveness. Do you think I don't have eyes, Ay? I can see everything on this planet. I know what you are planning."

"Those were mistakes from the past and it was the way of the world…I AM NOT WRONG. MY PLAN WOULD BRING BALANCE TO THIS WORLD, SO THAT WE ARE NEVER DOMINATED BY A SINGLE PERSON. ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU DESIRE?"

"What a chilidsh response. I suppose, you can't expect anything more from a child."

Ay didn't understand until he saw his small hands, he had been transformed into a child of six or so.

"You won't gain anything from this. Everyone will hate you, you fucking monster." Ay stepped back as his iron heart seemed to have melted away. Fear filled him and he couldn't stop himself from crying.

"Hahahaha, am I so scary? How about now?" Naruto's flesh body melted away as his form became pure black energy with white energy as eyes and mouth.

He becmae to grow and his shape becoming horrifying just like a paralysis demon, and there was nothing he could do but crawl away.

His body had shrunk even further and he couldn't walk. His heart was about to give up from the fear when golden light broke the darkness trying to devour him.

-------------------------

"I warned you not to do this. You will pay for the pain you have caused to Ai." Naruto had arrived on the scene just as Ay had vanished into the pocket dimension connected to the dark dimension.

He had tried to prevent Ai from acting out her duties as Hell Girl, but there was no stopping that demon. He was still too weak.

He had tried multiple times and failed countless times. All those people had been criminals, but still people that were trying to live a new life.

He wasn't stupid enough to believe that people would change from a single conversation. He already had the future mapped out. An ideal society will produce ideal citizens, that was his goal. A society that encouraged good deeds and discouraged bad deeds would create the utopia he desired.

For the past criminals he would put them into a prison where they would learn to become proper citizens and they wouldn't be released until he gave the approval. His powers made it easy to see if a person had changed or not. It was easier to just completely change a person instantly with his powers, but that was not what he wanted.

Getting back, Naruto had finally been able to intervene because of his increase in power and skills. With help from Hades, he broke into the dimension where Ai was torturing Ay.

"Your warnings are pointless, Naruto. They are words without any meaning. What can you really do to uphold that threat? Nothing."

The answer came from everywhere as Naruto found himself stuck inside the dimension. Getting hold of Ay, Naruto summoned his new equipment.

It was the equipment made by Hephaestus from the materials Naruto had given to him.

Naruto was clad in heavy black armor with gold trimming. It had a red core placed on its forehead. It had airfoils attached to it pauldrons with gold spoilers on the bottom and a smaller patch of closed spoilers along the tips. The armor was called Alpha, The Armor of the Immortal King.

Following that was the sword of Rupture, EA. It was blade that could change into anything he desired but its default state was that of a sword plus lance.

While it had a grip, handguard, and is the same length as a longsword, the section that should contain a blade deviates from the normal form of an edged weapon. The "blade" itself and the tip of the sword, spun in a spiral shape, were dull. It had the shape of a cylindrical, drill-shaped pillar made up of three independently rotating segments engraved with crimson cuneiform lettering that spin slowly in an alternating direction like querns, the middle segment spinning clockwise and the top and bottom segments spinning counterclockwise. The drill design was modeled after bedrock excavators used to drill underwater tunnels. Its three sections respectively represent the heavens, the earth, and the underworld. It exemplifies the world's way of being by having each one of them rotate in opposite directions. The "cosmos" is thus represented by matching all three of these representations. Everything together represents the universe

Finally, there was the Enkidu also known as the chain of heaven. The chains were meant to target beings that were immortal.

With these in hand along with the sword of Nunoboko, Naruto's power was boosted beyond reason and he shone like the sun. The energy was bursting from within because of the sword of Nunoboko granting him power of ten stars. He could only utilize such power because of Alpha and EA or he would been erased by the overwhelming power.

Such power was extremely difficult to control since Naruto naturally didn't have the energy of a star, he just contained energy equal to twice that of a earth size planet. Even after the boost from his new equipment, he wouldn't be able to reach star level.

Using the Sage's sword was extremely difficult with such power, so Naruto commanded it to turn to gem and implanted it into Alpha.

It was better for him to use other equipment to fight since the sword could end up destroying what he didn't want to destroy.

Without even doing anything, his mere presence caused the dimension to break apart.

Lord Loss was at a loss as he hadn't expected Naruto to get such power so soon, especially didn't think that the boy would be able to use it to harm him.

"We will meet again, Naruto. I hope you will come visit me personally, so we can have a proper conversation." The threat was clear in his words and it showed that he wasn't afraid of Naruto's new power.

With those words he vanished even though the chains tried to capture him, they couldn't break through the dimensional barrier of the Dark Dimension.

Not even Naruto's strongest strike that ruptured existence could scratch it, and it was the only reason that such powerful demonic creatures were unable to leave and conquer the other universes.

Destroying the pocket dimension, Naruto undid Ai's transformation and the young girl flew into his arms with tears in her eyes.

"Don't be scared, I am here." Naruto extremely angry that he had been unable to stop it from happening, but now he at least had a way to stop it.

"He said that he will hurt you. I am scared, what if he drags you to his world." Ai could feel the difference in power and knew that Naruto wasn't strong enough to fight Lord Loss.

"I won't allow it to happen. You already saw what happened, he doesn't have much authority in this world."

"But…"

"Ai, believe in me. There is nothing that can keep me down. No matter what happens, always believe in this fact. I will not die until this world is on the proper path."

Looking into his Rinne-sharingan eyes, Ai was entranced by them and felt the safety within his presence.
