Naruto: the black dragon emperor

Chapter 11: Naruto vs. Kalawarner

NEAR THE LOCATION

Not far from where Issei had encountered the datenchi, Naruto was walking home, choosing to take a stroll to clear his mind after discussing his past. The memories had been difficult to confront.

"I can't believe talking about my past affected me so much," the blonde muttered, a touch of sadness in his voice. "Even if most of it was a lie," he added, his tone more serious.

"Well, the only lie was that Konoha exists in this world," Kurama, the great fox, replied. "But honestly, everything else was the truth," he said, trying to reassure Naruto.

"Kurama's right, Naruto. You didn't lie to them," the dragon added. "Now, how about we go home? A pretty girl is waiting for you," he said, teasing the blonde, who blushed slightly.

"You had to mention that, huh?" Naruto groaned, embarrassed.

"Come on, Naruto. We both know you can't help but feel attracted to the girls around you," the dragon said calmly. "I'm sure they feel the same way about you," he added with a smirk.

Just then, a loud sneeze echoed from a nearby house, and Naruto groaned.

"Look at it this way: if you end up with a harem, you could rebuild the Uzumaki clan in this world," the dragon suggested with a grin. "And since they're immortal... you don't have to worry about getting old. And you'll stay young too, thanks to me being the Juubi."

"Guys, I'm still thinking about it, okay?" Naruto said out loud, signaling that he wasn't ready to decide yet. "For now, let's just go home," he added, but then his eyes narrowed. He noticed a magical barrier in the distance. "Maybe I'll take care of this first," he muttered before heading toward it, sensing a certain annoying presence nearby.

INSIDE THE BARRIER

When Naruto arrived at the scene of the battle, he saw Issei struggling to dodge several large golden spears of light. They were double-edged and had handles in the center, making them resemble oversized swords. Issei was having a tough time evading them as the woman controlling them threw them with speed and precision. Naruto squinted and looked at her closely.

She was a striking figure, with navy-blue hair and brown eyes. She wore a reddish-brown outfit with a low neckline and black heels. Two black wings sprouted from her back, confirming she was a datenchi.

(The spears of light must be like the one on her back,) Naruto thought as he observed her. But for now, he decided to watch and see how the battle played out, wondering who would come out victorious.

WITH ISSEI

Issei was doing his best to dodge the huge spears of light, each one launched with precision from the woman in front of him. The spears moved at incredible speeds, making it nearly impossible for him to keep up. But his focus remained sharp as he continued to evade the attacks.

"Your efforts are useless, human," she said arrogantly. "Just give up so I can take your Sacred Gear," she added as she threw another spear.

Issei dodged it. "Yeah, right. As if that's going to happen," he muttered, his voice strained with exhaustion. ("Damn, at this rate, I'm gonna die.") He thought desperately. ("No, I can't die yet. I still have to beat that idiot and become the king of the harem.")

Suddenly, the gem on his gauntlet shone brightly. "I won't lose to you," he said, a hint of determination in his voice. A loud BOOST echoed, and he punched the air, sending a green beam straight at her.

"Impressive," she said, easily dodging the attack. "But still useless," she added, summoning two more spears and hurling them toward him.

"Damn," Issei cursed, leaping backward to avoid the spears. But one of them pierced the sole of his foot, making him fall. "Why do I feel so weak?" he groaned as the woman advanced with another spear, while he struggled to pull the one from his foot.
