"Marie," Naruto called her name like he didn't just create a massive sphere and showed all of them the vast difference between him and them, his voice was too calm, too casual, as if everything was normal. "We have a lot to talk about you trying to commit suicide."
Martha looked down with guilt while John was horrified at the thought.
This is why Naruto Uzumaki disliked showing his powers to those he deemed unworthy. It wasn't his pride or cockiness talking—or maybe it was, just a bit—the main reason was because of situations like this. They all hid it well but they were afraid, except Gaia who was smirking at him.
He was happy to see her smile at him after he revealed a fraction of his power.
The notion of people who used to categorize him as a minor threat updating his status to a god-level threat was tiring and agonizing. The devils would surely report what they saw and the top things to expect was a formal visit from all three factions leaders since he was temporarily 'allied' with them.
Being powerful is nice and all but people fear what they do not understand—the same being applicable to all supernaturals—and that fear gradually turns to hate until all that is left is the desire to get rid of or suppress that which they fear, that which they hate, that which they don't understand.
Martha and John were completely astonished. Their stares had a glint in them, like they were in the presence of something greater. He hoped this display would change nothing; he'd love it very much if they treated him like they did before this happened.
The devils on the other hand, well… His message was heard loud and clear. He gazed at Grayfia and raised his chin a bit to let her know he was being smug about it. He turned his gaze to Souji and tilted his head a bit and raised an eyebrow at the Knight. His body language was daring the devil to challenge him again. His stare lingered on the Knight before he turned his head to the last group present.
Two blondies, one radiating holy energy and sacred gear energy while the other a pure holy energy, which felt nostalgic but only for a moment.
The man had his fist balled up beside him and his face was blank. Naruto nodded mentally, the guy had earned a tiny bit of his respect just like that.
"N-n-naruto-san? Is t-that you?" Agatha stuttered flying forward like she was in trance towards the blonde ninja.
Dulio grabbed her hand and pulled her back. Superhuman or not, he'd be damned before he let her walk into danger. Gabriel would have his hide if she had so much as a scratch on her body.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at the four-winged Angel. How did she know his name? "Yo," he greeted with a wave of his hand, and Agatha's face lit up like a Christmas tree at Naruto's gesture. "Do I know you?" he asked and like a blackout, her mood dampened.
"Don't you remember me?" she asked, her voice shaking.
Naruto scratched his head in confusion.
"Grendel?! Rizevim?! Don't you remember me anymore? You saved my life!" Agatha yelled, on the verge of tears.
The man who came into her life in the most bizarre way to save her like a knight in shining armor when all hope seemed lost and then disappeared in the most bizarre way, had forgotten about her? The man she didn't even forget about for a single second?
Naruto's eyes darkened at the mention of Rizevim and he went down memory lane for a second. He trailed off and his eyes widened when he recognized the female Angel. "Y-you, C-clumsy Angel!" Naruto pointed a finger at her.
Agatha cried tears of happiness when her hero remembered who she was, and she couldn't help but laugh at the name he called her back then. This was the man responsible for her courage, the man who helped her in so many ways in the brief period of time they knew each other. Many thought her story was unbelievable. A human fought against an evil dragon and won, an instant defeat.
"You remember me!" She pulled herself away From Dulio's grip and flew towards Naruto, tackling him in a hug. Naruto groaned when she buried her face into his stomach. She barely reached his chest as she gripped him tight and bawled into his chest.
The blonde ninja's lips curved up a bit as he hugged her back and patted the first angel he met in this world awkwardly. Gaia recognized the smile as the small, almost unnoticeable smile he rarely displayed.
The rest of the group watched, dumbfounded by the scenario going on. Dulio was aghast, to say the least. Agatha looked really happy in the blonde's arms.
"Maa, don't cry. I'm already a bad jerk as it is but making an authentic Angel cry would damage my already broken reputation even further." The blonde complained, rubbing her back.
And just like that, all of a sudden, the blonde was back to being an above-average human and not the super-being they all witnessed a moment ago.
What a weirdo.
As the scene went on something else was going on inside the Chibaku Tensei. Ashirok stared at the dark, unmoving and unblinking.
"What a scary human. To think a mastery of Chakra could grant one such abilities… Yes, This is no ordinary man but why am I so angry? I don't want to lose to the likes… Of him!"Ashirok roared mentally.
Naruto's eyes widened as the 'core' disappeared all of a sudden. "Impossible! He's gone!"He turned his head around.
Naruto pushed Agatha away on time as a powerful beam that came out of nowhere swallowed him whole. The others disappeared with a wave of dark energy while Naruto, who was still inside the beam, felt a force he couldn't defy. It was like space and time were bending to someone else's will at that moment.
Fwoop.
Naruto Uzumaki disappeared to an unknown dimension.
.
.

John's body came out of a void and bounced off the surface of a great water body all of a sudden while Naruto, who was still inside the beam, appeared a few seconds later, moving in a diagonal line towards a great ocean that appeared out of nowhere.
"John!"Naruto thought as his body hit the ocean and the beam detonated.
