******************************

Let's get started

*********************************

As the two opponents disappeared in a smoke bomb, the spectators began to give their opinions on what would happen in the fight.

-"I hope I hurt him badly..."-

Rias muttered seriously, hoping that Riser would get hurt.

-"I hate to say it"- Sona spoke, analyzing the possibilities of the fight. -"But Riser has the advantage thanks to his regeneration"-

-"That's true"-

Rias put on a bitter expression thinking that Riser would win.

While that was happening with those competing for the Devils, with the young Ninjas there were different opinions.

-"That guy is lost"-

Yoshio said confidently.

-"Don't be overconfident"- Ichiro said calmly. -"He's fighting against a Devil from a Clan that is said to be immortal, and that they largely control fire and wind"-

-"It doesn't matter"- Yoshio smiled. -"Hikaru will easily take him down"-

.....

...

....

....

-"Oh. That Riser kid against Hikaru?"- Naruto smiled. -"Interesting"-

-"No offense, Naruto-dono, but young Riser has this fight won"-

Zekram told him with a smile.

-"Don't get carried away"- Naruto smiled confidently. -"Hikaru is stronger than he looks"-

-"Really? He looks like he's going to faint from embarrassment at any moment"-

Falbium said as he remembered how Hikaru entered the stadium arena.

-"He's a little shy"- Naruto said with a nervous smile. -"But that won't stop him"-

...

...

....

The two competitors appeared in a pocket dimension with the appearance of a gigantic forest. Riser and Hikaru appeared in the only clearing in the forest, completely surrounded by trees.

Riser is a tall, handsome young man in his early twenties, with short blond hair and dark blue eyes. His outfit consists of a burgundy blazer with gold embroidery on the right side with matching pants and black dress shoes. Under his open jacket is a white dress shirt that is not fully buttoned, except for one button, leaving a slight view of his chest.

Hikaru is a tall, thin boy who is completely wrapped in bandages, only showing his black eyes. He is wearing white shorts, a black jacket, which showed his fully bandaged torso, and had on black sandals.

-"Let's get this over with."-

Riser said with an arrogant smile as he wrapped his hands in powerful flames.

-"Hiiii!"-

Hikaru shrieked in terror, then ran quickly into the forest, disappearing into the trees.

-"Huh?"- Riser mocked, as he took out his wings of fire, to fly over the forest. -"It seems like he's a coward."-

-"[It seems that the first one to attack will be Riser]"- Eufema commented. -"[While Hikaru... Eh... He ran away?]"-

Among the audience, Mū shook his head and Hikaru's parents laughed nervously.

-"Let's see"- Riser looked around the forest with a smile. -"Are you here!?"-

He then launched a fireball, incinerating several trees.

-"Oh here!?"-

Riser launched another fireball in another part of the forest. And he stayed like that for several seconds, and then he got tired.

-"Get out and stop running away!"-

Riser shouted angrily, and then he heard a voice between the trees.

-"[Jinton: Genkai Hakuri: Jūdan]"-

Suddenly, a white bullet came out between the trees at a blinding speed, which then hit and pierced Riser's left shoulder.

-"Agh!"-

Riser screamed in pain, and then saw with his own eyes how his left arm was detached from his body, while it quickly disintegrated in the air.

Before Riser could react, another five bullets pierced his body, causing large holes in various parts of his body.

-"He didn't run away"- Hikaru said, coming out from between the trees. Then he looked at Riser. -"I'm just hiding"-

-"[It seems Hikaru didn't run away, but hid to get the chance to attack!]"- Eufema shouted excitedly while the spectators cheered. -"[Classic of a Ninja!]"-

Then they witnessed Riser's wounds regenerating quickly.

-"[Hikaru won't have it easy]"- Shikaku opined. -"[Although he attacked by surprise with devastating attacks, he will still have to go against the regeneration of the Phoenix Clan]"-

-"I see. You still have a trick up your sleeve..."- Riser said with a smile, then covered his hands in powerful flames again. -"But that won't save you!"-

He then threw a flurry of fireballs at his opponent.

Hikaru quickly dodged the fireballs with speed and agility, as he headed towards Riser with his right arm extended and surrounded by an almost transparent white aura.

Having dodged the last fireball, Hikaru jumped, and to the surprise of the Demons, he began to fly towards Riser with his fist extended.

-"[Jinton: Genkai Hakuri: Ken]!"-

Hikaru shouted, then hit Riser's left cheek. The blow wasn't strong, but it did cause half of Riser's face to disintegrate, as he screamed in pain.

Hikaru then quickly flew away, moving away from Riser to avoid a blow from him.

-"Damn..."-

Riser muttered angrily, as his wound regenerated.

.....

...

....

....

-"Ah"- Falbium looked at the screen with interest. -"So that boy also uses that ability?"-

-"It seems so"- Ajuka said. -"But now that I see it more clearly, that ability is very powerful"-

Sirzechs nodded in agreement. -"It is very similar to the [Power of Destruction]"-

-"Yes it is"- Naruto told them. -"But very difficult to use"-

Serafall looked at him curiously. -"Oh what do you mean, Naru-kun?"-

-"The [Jinton] is considered one of the most destructive elements in existence. This nature allows the user to manipulate molecules, giving them the ability to disintegrate anything at a molecular level, within the limits of the created form. But using a jutsu consumes large amounts of Chakra. And we currently have an entire squad that are users of this element"- Naruto answered, surprising the Maou and Demons present. Then he smiled. -"But among all the users, Hikaru is the strongest and most talented"-

-"Stronger?"- Sirzechs became curious. -"How so?"-

-"You see; the [Jinton] is a Kekkei Tōta, an advanced branch of jutsus that are more advanced than the Kekkei Genkai, which are unique techniques or abilities that depend on genetic factors"- Naruto explained. -"The point is that to use the [Jinton], you must combine the elements [Doton], [Katon] and [Fūton]. Something very complicated to do"-

Ajuka seemed to understand. -"So that element is not inherited, but rather learned"-

-"Exactly. Any Ninja is capable of using it with good training, well; all except Hikaru"- Naruto said with a smile, earning curious glances, which caused him to continue explaining. -"Hikaru's parents are members of the [Jinton] squad, as he is also the grandson of the Ninja who was the original user of the [Jinton]; which seemed to affect Hikaru."-

-"Affect?"- Ajuka asked curiously. -"In what way?"-

-"As I said before, the [Jinton] cannot be inherited; but that changed when Hikaru was born. When a child is born, a blood test is done to see if they possess a Kekkei Genkai; and it was a big surprise that Hikaru possessed a new and unique Kekkei Genkai."- Naruto smiled. -"Being the first Ninja with the [Jinton] as a Kekkei Genkai."-

Falbium looked confused. -"And what difference is there?"-

-"Having it as a Kekkei Genkai, it is easier to handle the [Jinton], as it also decreases the amount of Chakra when using Jutsu"- Naruto explained with a smile, then looked at Sirzechs. -"Do you remember the attack I used in the fight? Well, I'm sure that Hikaru will be able to surpass it in a few years; as well as his future children and grandchildren, who will inherit his Kekkei Genkai"-

What he said greatly surprised the Demons. That someone can surpass an attack capable of crossing a planet, even if it is small, was something to fear. And even more so if in the future there is an entire family capable of doing the same.

Among all the Demons, Zekram was the one who was most fearful and nervous about the new information. With the little he knows about the Shinobi Faction, it already caused him fear.

-(I need to find out more about this faction and how to use it to our advantage)-

Zekram thought that, being determined to find out more about the Shinobi Faction.

...

.....

....

....

-"I don't know how you did that, but you were just lucky"- Riser said with an arrogant smile, then he was enveloped in an aura of fire. -"But it won't happen again!"-

Then he released a blast of fire from his hands that traveled at an incredible speed towards Hikaru.

Hikaru opened his eyes surprised, then began to fly through the air, dodging the blast of fire while making hand seals. Then he made a gun shape with his hands, aiming at Riser.

-"[Jinton: Genkai Hakuri: Jūdan]"-

Hikaru said, then a bullet came out from the fingers of both of his hands that quickly hit both of Riser's shoulders, causing the complete disintegration of both of his arms.

Riser grunted in pain, then began to regenerate his arms and watched as Hikaru began to make hand seals again.

-"[Doton: Kengan no Jutsu]"-

Hikaru's right arm was then covered in rock fragments, then flew up and landed a powerful blow on Riser's chest, pushing him into the ground without moving his fist.

-"Is that all?"- Riser sneered. -"It was a soft blow."-

He then grabbed the rock arm with his already regenerated hands and began to engulf them in fire.

-"I'm not done yet."- Hikaru declared. -"[Doton: Kajūgan no Jutsu]!"-

He then increased his weight, causing Riser to be buried underground.

Riser spat out blood and grunted in pain as he felt his bones being crushed by the weight.

Hikaru quickly deactivated the Jutsu and jumped away from his opponent.

-"[Oh! Riser just received a powerful blow from Hikaru!]"- Eufema commented, causing those from the Shinobi Faction to celebrate and Riser's Entourage to look at the scene with concern. -"[Now the question is: Was Riser knocked out?]"-

All the spectators were waiting for the result of the fight. Then suddenly a gigantic vortex of fire appeared where Riser was, and then he flew out, showing that he was unharmed and very angry.

-"Damn human. I will not forgive you for humiliating me!"-

Riser shouted angrily, then raised his arms and began to form a fireball. The fireball began to grow every second until it was the size of a house.

Hikaru looked at the fireball with his eyes wide open, then gulped nervously.

-"This is over! No human can stand against the power of the Phoenix Clan!"-

Riser then threw the fireball towards Hikaru.

Hikaru watched the fireball approach him threateningly. He could only remain completely paralyzed in place.

Then, in the presence of everyone, the fireball hit Hikaru, causing a gigantic explosion of fire that incinerated all the trees in the forest around him. Seconds later, dust covered the entire place.

-"[In the face of a sudden event, Hikaru received a powerful attack from Riser!]"- Eufema shouted while Riser's Entourage celebrated. Those from the Shinobi Faction looked on worriedly. Everyone watched as the dust slowly dispersed. -"[Did Hikaru survive the attack?]"-

.....

...

....

....

Zekram smiled at Naruto. -"It seems that it is a victory for us, Naruto-dono"-

-"Don't celebrate yet"-

Naruto told him with a smile, without stopping to look at the screen.

.....

...

....

....

Riser looked at where the fireball hit with an arrogant smile.

-"It's my victory..."-

Riser declared with a smile, while the dust dispersed. When it completely dispersed, instead of seeing a knocked out Hikaru, something could be seen that surprised him and the spectators.

-"What...?"-

Riser muttered in shock at the sight in front of him.

What was in front of him was a gigantic dark green turtle shell, which has three dorsal osteodermal rows.

.....

...

....

....

-"But what...?"-

Sirzechs muttered confused at the sight.

-"Is that a turtle shell?"-

Ajuka asked as he pointed at the screen with a raised eyebrow.

-"I... I don't know what to say about that"-

Falbium said, being too confused to understand what was happening.

Serafall looked at the scene with blinking eyes, then looked at Naruto, who smiled. -(He knows something...)-

Naruto looked at a surprised Zekram with a smile. -"I told him he wouldn't be defeated so easily."-

He then continued to look at the screen with the others.

.....

...

....

....

Riser looked at the shell in shock, then growled angrily.

-"What is this!? Is this some kind of joke!?"-

Riser then began to furiously throw several fireballs at the shell.

The fireballs hit the shell, but did not cause any damage.

-"What!?"- Riser was surprised to see that the shell was still intact. -"What is that shell made of!?"-

Before he could continue complaining, the shell began to float above the ground, then quickly moved away into the sky.

-"Huh?"-

Riser blinked in confusion, as he lost sight of the shell. Seconds later, the shell fell rapidly towards him.

Riser could not react quickly, receiving the full impact, causing a gigantic destruction, as if a small meteorite had hit. Less than a second, the shell spun out of the gigantic crater.

A few seconds later, Riser struggled out of the crater as his wounds regenerated.

-"W-What nonsense i-is this?"- Riser asked in pain, then fully regenerated and approached the shell. -"What kind of nonsense is this? [Transformation Magic]?"-

He then grabbed the shell, noticing that it was almost his size. He then looked through the hole where the head should be.

Then suddenly a humanoid reptilian head quickly came out and opened its gigantic snout, which was enveloped in a white aura. In less than a second, it delivered a powerful bite to Riser's neck.

-"[Jinton: Genkai Hakuri: Kamu]!"-

The humanoid turtle declared, powering up its bite.

The bite was strong enough to detach Riser's head from his body, which then disintegrated as the body fell to the ground, releasing the shell in the process.

Before the shell fell to the ground, the humanoid turtle quickly pulled out its limbs, showing that they were human, only with a coloring between gray, brown, black and olive green. It also had a long, thick reptilian tail.

In an instant, Riser stood up, his head now in place,

He looked at Hikaru a little terrified. -"What kind of monster are you?"-

-"I'm not a monster"- Hikaru replied. -"I'm just a Ningen no Kame"-

That confused Riser and the Demons who were watching the fight.

-"[Wow!]"- Eufema shouted, while spectators from both factions looked at the screen in confusion. -"[For some reason unknown to me, Hikaru transformed into a hybrid between a man and a turtle!]"-

....

...

.....

....

-"A Ningen no Kame?"- Sirzechs asked confused. -"Oh, what do you mean by that?"-

-"I have no idea"- Falbium answered. -"Maybe it's advanced [Transformation Magic]"-

-"That's not magic; I can assure you of that"- Ajuka said giving his expert opinion. -"Whatever he did had nothing to do with magic"-

Serafall looked at Naruto. -"Do you know what he did to her, Naru-kun?"-

-"I'm sorry, Sera-chan"- Naruto gave her an apologetic smile. -"But it is a secret of the Shinobi Faction"-

His answer made him receive curious and even annoyed looks from the Demons.

Naruto obviously knew what Hikaru did; after all it is the power of the artificial Akuma No Mi that he gave him. The [Kame Kame No Mi: Alligator Turtle Model]; an Artificial Akuma No Mi that makes its user capable of transforming into a hybrid Alligator Turtle form and a full form, making him a Ningen no Kame.

Naruto smiled as he saw that Hikaru had completely mastered his Akuma No Mi.

Now it's time to see how the fight will end with this new change.

.....

.....

....

....

-"I don't know what you did to get that appearance or what good it will do you"- Riser said, as he looked at Hikaru's new form with terror and even disgust. -"But you won't beat me!"-

He then launched a gigantic pillar of fire at Hikaru.

Hikaru quickly entered his shell, just in time to dodge the attack. The pillar of fire split into two upon contact, without damaging or affecting the shell.

Riser growled furiously upon seeing that. -"How is it possible that a turtle shell is not affected by my attacks!?"-

And he was not the only one, as all the Demons watching the fight were also surprised or confused.

What they didn't know was that Hikaru covered his shell with Chakra, to increase its hardness and resistance. He even covered it with a thin layer of Chakra of the [Jinton] element, so that the attacks would disintegrate upon contact. This type of process turned his shell into almost an absolute defense.

-"My turn"- Hikaru declared, still inside his shell. -"[Jinton: Genkai Hakuri: Baria]!"-

Suddenly his shell was enveloped by an almost transparent white barrier.

Before Riser could react, the shell flew up and collided with his abdomen, knocking him to the ground and disintegrating his chest in the process.

-"Gah!"-

Riser screamed in pain, only to regenerate and get up from the ground seconds later. But he quickly fell back down when the shell collided with his right leg, disintegrating him in the process.

And so it went on for quite a while. Hikaru repeatedly collided with him, disintegrating various parts of his body. No matter how fast he regenerated, Riser received attack after attack, without the possibility of dodging.

-"[Now Hikaru attacks Riser with several consecutive hits!]"-

Eufema commented, while the Shinobi Faction celebrated. Those from the Demonic Faction grimaced as they saw Riser being literally disintegrated many times.

After Riser regenerated half of his head, which he lost from the last attack, he could tell that Hikaru was about to attack from the front.

-"I won't let you!"-

He shouted angrily, then launched a powerful pillar of fire towards Hikaru. Upon impact, the shell didn't budge and tried to advance, but was stopped by the pillar of fire, thus producing a power struggle.

Then Riser growled angrily and increased his Demonic Power, empowering the pillar of fire.

The pillar of fire won the battle and pushed Hikaru's shell, causing him to be sent flying into the forest, taking several trees with him in the process.

-"Hahahaha!"- Riser smiled victoriously. -"Let's see how you survive that, turtle boy!"-

His smile quickly disappeared as he saw the shell heading towards him quickly.

The shell directly hit his face, completely disintegrating it. The shell then rose and disappeared into the sky, leaving Riser lying on the ground, waiting for his face to regenerate.

Standing thousands of meters above the ground, Hikaru increased his chakra around his shell, causing it to take on an intense, almost transparent white color due to the [Jinton].

Eufema became excited to see what Hikaru was doing. -"[It seems that Hikaru is about to make his next attack!]"-

-"[He seems to be using a lot of Chakra]"- Shikaku said, while the Shinobi Faction cheered Hikaru on. -"[Whatever he's about to do, it's going to be powerful]"-

-"[Doton: Chōkajūgan no Jutsu]"-

Hikaru declared, then began to fall rapidly due to an abrupt increase in weight.

When Riser regained his face, he could see a white object falling on him at a blinding speed.

-"Shit..."-

-"[Jinton: Genkai Hakuri: Inseki]!"-

Hikaru screamed, then fell against Riser, causing a gigantic white glow. The impact was devastating, as if a real meteorite had hit. The earth itself split into several cracks several kilometers long. The trees were uprooted and disintegrated upon coming into contact with the white glow.

-"[What destruction! That was a great display by Hikaru!]"- Eufema shouted. The Ninjas celebrated and the Demons looked on with concern. -"[Has Riser already given in or can he still continue fighting?]"-

-"[It's possible]"- Shikaku said as everyone looked at the screen to see the result. -"[But let's not forget the rapid regeneration of the Demons of the Phoenix Clan]"-

When everything became clear, a gigantic crater could be seen where there once was a gigantic forest, but what caught everyone's attention was in the center of the crater.

First there was Hikaru's shell, which was intact, to the surprise of some. The shell was smoking; perhaps due to the powerful impact.

But what caught the most attention was Riser, who was completely intact. But that's not what was striking, but that he was completely motionless on the ground with his eyes rolled back.

In short...

He was knocked out; obviously due to the gigantic pain he had to suffer.

And perhaps a pain that will mark him for life...

The Ninjas quickly shouted and celebrated for obtaining the first victory of the tournament.

The Demons looked at the scene with their eyes wide open in astonishment.

-"[Riser Phoenix can no longer continue! The winner of the first round is Hikaru!]"-

Temis shouted the result, causing the Ninjas' celebration to increase.

After the announcement, both Hikaru and the unconscious Riser disappeared from the scene in a smoke bomb.

.....

...

....

....

When the two competitors appeared in the arena of the stadium, Hikaru popped his head out of his shell.

-"I won...?"-

Hikaru introduced himself, only to see and hear how the Ninjas cheered and congratulated him. He could even see his parents shout with happiness, while his grandfather Mū nodded his head proudly.

Hikaru just stood up while blushing in embarrassment. He now started to transform back to his normal form. He then started to stagger and start to fall, but was quickly caught by two medical ninjas.

-"Are you okay?"-

One of the medical ninjas asked him.

-"Y-Yes"- Hikaru answered tiredly. -"I just used up a lot of Chakra"-

He was then taken to the infirmary, along with an unconscious Riser.

.....

...

....

....

-"It seems that the first victory is ours"-

Naruto said to Zekram, while smiling.

-"It seems so"- Zekram said with a forced smile. -"It was a good fight"-

-"I have to say that it was an amazing fight"- Ajuka said while Falbium nodded his head in agreement. -"And a little weird..."-

Sirzechs smiled in agreement. -"That young Hikaru does have potential"-

-"Riser too"- Naruto said, then glanced at Lord Phoenix. -"If only he were less arrogant and didn't always rely on his regeneration, I'm sure he'll become strong"-

Lord Phoenix nodded his head. -"I assure him that I will take care of him"-

-"Now that the first fight is over, it's time to start the second fight!"- Eufema shouted, then pointed at the screen. -"It's time to find out who the next competitors will be!"-

The screen began to show the names of the fighters from each Faction, then randomly stopped on two names.

Diodora Astaroth vs Yoshio Inuzuka

The two competitors smiled differently when they saw their names appear on the screen, then headed towards the stadium arena.

Thus began the second fight of the tournament...

TO BE CONTINUED!!!
