Intertwined Destiny: The Rebirth of Naruto and Rias

"So, Grayfia what did I miss?" Naruto looked at the leader of Youkai Faction who was sitting on the chair with a worried expression on her face.

"Apparently, Yasaka-sama didn't come here only for Kunou-sama's birthday," Grayfia began to explain as everyone leaned in. They really wanted to hear the true reason for Yasaka's visit, "Two month ago, her faction at Kyoto had been attacked by a group of rogue Youkai and stray Onmyouji. Their powers were something that she had never seen before and soon found out that they were after Kunou-sama. They need the blood of a Kyuubi to unseal a great beast that had been sealed away for thousands of years under Kyoto, and because Yasaka-sama was too strong for them, they couldn't capture her so instead they targeted the weaker, Kunou-sama."

"For two months, I tried my best to protect Kunou. However, I soon found out that alone by myself, I wasn't strong enough to protect my child," Yasaka said, "but in just one month, I had killed a total of twenty eight traitors who were followers of this furtive group. I don't know who the leader is but he has successfully twisted the minds of my Youkai into betraying me. So I couldn't trust anyone else other than Kunou and myself. I sought help from the other factions, from someone I could trust, but Devils were the only ones who opened their arms to my child and me."

"So," Grayfia continued for her, "that is the reason why she was here. Yasaka had seen the fight between you and Riser-sama and chose you to be their guardian," Grayfia nodded at Naruto, "Your Kyuubi form, your power and especially your loyalty made Yasaka-sama think that you would be the perfect one to protect Kunou. By using the reason of coming here to organize a happy birthday to her child with her 'father', she had successfully tricked the remaining traitors in her faction."

"I'm so sorry for tricking you Naruto-san" Yasaka sighed sadly "I-I don't know what to do at the moment anymore, my daughter is everything to me. I…"

A finger placed on Yasaka's lips halted her speech. Lifting her eyes up, she saw Naruto as he lowered himself down to her eye level. He was smiling gently at her.

"You don't have to worry Yasaka-san," Naruto nodded his head to her, "All you cared about was Kunou's safety. You had chosen a hard choice for Kunou's sake. I, along with all my friends here," he motioned to the group with a sweep of his arms, "will help you rescue Kunou and make sure that no one will ever harm her again."

Yasaka stared into Naruto's eyes for a moment marveling at the conviction behind them. The worriment and sadness disappeared from her eyes. Felling the warmth in his words, she couldn't help but nod her head at him even though she knew the chance they had of saving Kunou was slim.

"Let's go everyone, we will go to Kyoto as soon as possible!" Naruto stood up and turned to all his friend. They quickly went and changed into more comfortable clothes inside of their perspective rooms, they were ready for battle.

Ravel walked up to Naruto and peered at him with her large, dark blue eyes.

"Are you really okay Naruto-sama?" Ravel inquired her voice brimmed with unbridled concern.

"Of co…" he wanted to say it, but the look on Ravel's face told him, he couldn't lie to her at all

"Don't lie to me Naruto-sama," she muttered quietly to him, "I know how you feel right now, but I can't help but feel that you have given up on something haven't you Naruto-sama?"

Naruto didn't answer her question, he just stared blankly at his hands, the hands that had tried to kill his childhood friend.

A magic circle appeared at the middle of Kyoto. Naruto quickly stepped out of the magic seal for teleportation with Grayfia and quickly found a hiding spot.

"It looks like they have put all the humans in this city to sleep," Naruto muttered as scanned the city from his perch with his Sharingan. He spotted energy signatures coming from every direction, "Whoever is behind this is very well prepared," Turning his eyes to the largest building where Yasaka told him was the headquarters of her faction, Naruto picked up a large amount of magical energy being radiated, "It must be the Youkai."

"Naruto-sama, the seal," Grayfia put her hand to the ground and widened her eyes, "we have to get out of here now," she spoke in a hasty tone. They leapt out of the way as spears and arrows rained down on the spot where they stood mere seconds ago.

Looking up, Naruto spotted an army of Tengu all with: bows, spears and a motley of weaponry. There were a lot of them, easily over two hundred.

"Hoho, to think they only sent two people as the rescue team. Yasaka-sama is truly pathetic. You will have to do better than that to hide from us!" The leader of the group roared out in laughter. But before he could open his eyes to see what happened, ice spears shot out from the ground and pierced his head instantly killing the bird man. Truly, he was dead before he hit the ground.

"Who said we're trying to hide?" Grayfia asked with her usual stoic face. As she steadily unleashed her magic, the ground around her began to break and crack, "The only one who is pathetic here," all around Kyoto, the ground began to quaver under the might of the Strongest Queen. The Tengu have their mouths open in shock; a silver aura covered Grayfia's body, "is you!"
