Naruto isn't just the type to up and vanish all of a sudden… at least not willingly, anyways. He was too damn lazy to do that. Something had to have happened to the blonde. It's been an hour now.
(Scene change)
Naruto sat cross-legged on thin air, swatting Ophis's hands away. The loli had been poking him here and there, every now and then, trying to grab his chakra cloak.
"So, what you're telling me is that 'you' were born in the Dimensional Gap, and 'you' invaded the birthplace of 'her'?" he said, pointing between both beings.
"You didn't like visitors because… Noise, and 'you', wanted 'him' to leave, and 'he' refused to leave."
Ophis nodded her head.
"Now, 'you' didn't leave because...real estate, acrobatics, and flying space?"
"I can fly around as much as I want," the dragon huffed.
"So, 'you two' can't live together in this massive space?!" Naruto yelled with disbelief.
"Great Red is too noisy. I want the silence back."
Naruto jumped up to his feet in frustration. He was under the weather. He wasn't cut out to be a shrink nor could he play shrink with the strongest beings of this world.
"I'm too young for this shit. I need a drink." Naruto thought out loud.
'Naruto…" Great Red donned a serious look getting his attention. "Have you found a way back?"
Naruto looked down in a dejected manner and shook his head.
"You should have known there was no way out."
Great Red was hands down the strongest being in DxD and even the Dragon of Dragons himself had no solution for the blonde's problem.
"Ophis, did you promise you'll make his wish come true?" Great Red asked.
"Anything he wanted as long as he could drive you out," she replied.
Great Red shook his head in shame. "You shouldn't give a man like him hope."
Ophis raised an eyebrow at Great Red. Why was he all calm and collected all of a sudden. He was like an old man.
"He's a jumper, Ophis."
Ophis' purple orbs widened uncontrollably for the first time in her existence.
"A jumper? sounds kinda cool," Naruto thought.
This was the first time hearing the term and if the red bastard lizard knew it all along, why didn't he tell him about it?
Deep down, Naruto knew Ophis couldn't make his wish come true but his naive side, his optimistic side, his foolish side hoped desperately that she could. If Great Red, who was the strongest in this universe couldn't grant him his wish then how could the second strongest pull off what the first couldn't.
"A… jumper." She's heard stories but this was her first time seeing one in person. No wonder he was talking to Great Red casually.
It is said that a jumper only appears once in a million years. They either save the world or doom it.
A jumper is the highest order of aliens. Said to have even come from beyond the great 'Xs'. Naruto Uzumaki, the man whose house she was in a few hours ago wasn't from an alternate dimension, she came to this startling realization and was awed.
He wasn't from ExE, he came from far beyond that.
He was from another different reality entirely.
Speaking about the jumper, "So, enough about this jumper shit. Tell me—"
Naruto's speech was cut short when all three beings, himself included, currently in the dimensional gap snapped their head in the same direction.
A fourth being had entered the gap. It was a familiar devil signature. The dragons didn't recognize it but the Jumper did.
"No way!" Naruto thought before he zoomed off.

Naruto skidded to a halt and placed a hand on Asia's body, healing her with Kurama's energy. Her skin was already peeling off when he got there but thankfully she was still alive.
What were those brats doing? Who were they fighting? These questions raced through Naruto's mind.
"There's a war going on in the underworld," Ophis informed.
Naruto snapped his head up at her. His students were in the battlefield? Those children aren't ready for the horror of wars yet.
"I can take you there if you want. I have business there," Ophis offered.
Naruto, who now held a fully healed but unconscious Asia in his arms bridal style, nodded at her.
(Scene Change: The Underworld)
Issei, in his incomplete Juggernaut Drive form, was destroying everything in his path. He had lost all sense of reason as he was blindly attacking Vali—in his mastered Juggernaut Drive—who was trying his best with Rias to bring him back to his senses.
They had just defeated Diodora Astaroth, the devil prick who challenged them to a rating game after kidnapping Asia and saved her from the clutches of the psychotic perv when, suddenly, a bright light engulfs her, and when it dies down, she's nowhere to be found.
Then, this new guy, Shalba, came waltzing in, claiming he had sent Asia to the Dimensional Gap and that she would have been dead by now because of the corrosive nature of the gap.
Issei, in an amazing feat of main characters losing their marbles, starts searching around for Asia, denying the fact that she was gone, dead, before Rias snapped him out of it.
A bad move there eh, Rias.
Issei finally came to terms with reality and he really did lose his marbles this time.
Issei's pupils bled green and his Sacred Gear gem blipped. Ddraig warns the devils to flee if they want to live and tells Shalba he made a wrong move and would pay with his life. Consumed with grief and anger, he activates Juggernaut Drive and kills Shalba.
Vali was in the Dimensional Gap with his team searching for a lost legendary item called the lost black lace panties—Err, sorry, wrong story! He was actually searching for... Maou-knows-what— before he sensed a change in his rival and came back to the underworld with his team to knock some sense back into his rival.
The ORC watched from the sidelines helplessly. Irina and Rossweisse arrived from the front lines with a… Projector. The two claimed the song could calm Issei down.
Team Vali watched the exchange going on between the ORC and wondered what kind of song could calm a dragon down.
Vali and Rias watched as Issei roared, red energy bursting out of his body.
"Your servant will die at this rate if you don't find a way to snap him out of Juggernaut drive."
"Issei…" Rias whispered helplessly.
