Chapter 38 - Heritage and Rebirth

'This feeling' Minato and Kushina immediately understood what was going on when they felt the aura Naruto emitted. It was what they had hope Naruto would be able to achieve. But never in their life would they ever think that the kyubi will willing turn Naruto into it perfect jinchuuriki.

Sometimes later a golden flash of light appeared around Naruto illuminating the entire room. Minato and Kushina quickly shielded their faces from the light.

When they turned back to look at the light they were surprised by what they saw.

"Is that Naruto?" Because of the light they could barely make out the details of his appearance. But they were certain that the person in the middle of the light was their son.

'Well that was unexpected' The kyubi was also surprised by what it saw.

While it has never actually connected with any of it jinchuuriki before. What it was seeing right now was completely different from what it expected.

The three of them watched in figure inside the light in a daze until the light finally dimmed to reveal a fully healed Naruto.

"Thank you" Naruto bowed to the nine tails after inspecting his body. His eyes flashed a deep slitted red color before returning back to their original blue.

'Don't mention it' The kyubi waved him off nonchalantly. But in reality it had given most of it chakra just to save the kid and heal the wound caused by the demon king. So it was currently in a weakened state and looked like malnourished.

"Naruto!" Kushina rushed up to him and pulled him into a hug. She then started checking his body for injury. However when she remembered the words he said to them earlier, she quickly backed away and apologized.

"Sorry. I did mean to"

Minato who had also approached them with the same intention slowly dropped his hand back down.

But what the two didn't expect was for Naruto to suddenly pull the both of them into a tight hug and whispered.

"Mom, Dad. Thank you. For everything"

Minato and Kushina teared up when they heard his words. Neither being unable to hold back their tears.

"Thank you" Kushina gripped him a tight hug as she cried into his shoulder. Those were the words that she had been dying to hear.

"You mother and I still have something to give you before we leave." Minato said after the three of them separated.

"Wait. You are leaving?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow. Weren't they sealed here like the nine tails?

Kushina saw his confused expression so she decided to explain.

"Unlike the nine tails, we are chakra constructs left behind by the originals. Once we use up our chakra we will cease to exist. But as their chakra constructs we possess some of their knowledge. Which we wish to pass those knowledge on to you. Think of it as your inheritance"

Since Naruto was no longer in their world, he won't be able to receive the inheritance they left for him there. So this was the only option left. It wasn't much, but it should be enough.

Minato placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder and said. "Thank you for forgiving us and also for granting our wish"

"Don't think of dying anytime soon, son. you still have a bright future in front of you" Kushina said with a warm smile on their face.

Minato then turned to the nine tails and said. "Also kyubi. Thank you for saving him. We owe you one"

"I didn't do it for you." The kyubi scoffed at him which caused minato to laughed before he said "I know"

"Thank you, Mom and dad. For having me" Naruto said earnestly. although he was still mad at them. He hadn't spent the last ten years in this world hating them.

He had come to realize just how amazing they were to give their lives for him. Especially after finding out that Dante's parents had done the exact same thing.

Minato placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder and said. "Thank you for forgiving us and also for granting our wish"

"No. Thank you for being our son" Minato shook his head. Although they were not there with him there. They had witnessed his life up to this point and they are proud of the man that he had become.

"I wish I could have met this Dante and Lady that you talked about. They sound like wonderful people"

"They are" Naruto said with a grin.

'I'm sure they are'

Minato and Kushina smiled when they saw the expression on his face before turning in a mass of chakra that was absorbed into Naruto's body. A massive load of informations and memories filled his brain causing him to experience a severe headache. It lasted for a few seconds before finally calming down.

'Amazing' Naruto felt like he had just lived two different lives at the same time. It was completely overwhelming. It didn't think such a thing was possible

"You should get going, kid." The kyubi said after watching Naruto's first and last moment with his parents.

"But what about you? Will I be able to see you again?" Naruto asked the being that had just saved him from death's doorstep. It would hurt him if he were to never be able to access this space again.

However that wasn't all. Blackish red chakra extended out from Naruto's body and consumed purgatory's handle that was still in Naruto's hand causing it to grow and change form.

The cross guard turned into a demonic spiral connecting to a small skull at the end of each side with a hand coming out of the mouths. The grip of the sword had an elaborate design with two small pointed horns acting as the pommel.

On the flat sides of the sword was a demonic skull that looks like that of a fox with four pointed demonic horns on the top of the skull connecting to the cross guard. There are six demonic horns under the skull, three on each sides with the two horn on the side of it head being the biggest.

The long blade has three elongated jagged edges on both sides of the blade. The sword gave off a demonic aura and had a completely new feel to it.

It was nothing like the blade he wielded. It felt less like a blade and more like an entity.

'Is this what the kyubi meant by a present?' Naruto marvelled at the sight of the blade. It was true demonic sword in all sense.

"Then how do I leave this place."

"I will send you back. Also I have a little bit of surprise waiting for you" Before Naruto could ask what that was the nine tails sent him out of the space.

After Naruto left the nine tails lied down to rest. It had given naruto a lot of it chakra. It's going to take a while for it to recover it chakra.

"Give them hell, kid"

...

"MUNDUS!" Dante and Mundus engaged in a bitter clash. The two of them were already at their wit end.

They fought on a circular platform with gaps in it that surrounds a pit of lava. Mundus was waist-deep in the middle of the pool, and no longer has his wings. His part of his body had broken off revealing a liquid black mass underneath it.

Dante wasn't in a good state either. He had reverted back to his human form and was no longer in his Demon form.

The only reason Mundus hadn't finished him off already was because the Sparda was still powerful enough to counter most of it attacks.

"Give up, Dante. You are already past your limit" Mundus gaze down at Dante. It wasn't showing him mercy out of pity. Instead he felt that it would be a waste. Nobody had managed to push him this far before, not even Sparda. It would help his Demon army greatly if Dante was to join their rank. But he knew that the fight will only end when one of them is dead.

"After all you took from me. I'll make sure you do not see the end of this day!" Dante glared at him. Not just his parents but his adopted son as well. He was going to avenge them even if it was the last thing he did.

"Then Accept your fate and die!" Mundus shouted as he raised his hands above his head and fired a single homing bolt at Dante.

Dante who had been expecting the attack tightened his grip on Sparda and prepared to counter the attack.

However half way through a golden flash of light appeared before Dante and deflected the beam of light sending it flying off into the distance.

"WHO DARES!" Mundus roared enraged that someone had interrupted the battle. However when he saw the figure standing in front of the battlefield he was appalled.

"YOU! HOW?!" Mundus wasn't the only one facing self denial. Even Dante couldn't believe his eyes.

"Is that really you, Naruto?" Dante was still finding it hard to believe his eyes when he saw the blonde haired teen standing in front of him alive and well. He didn't look like someone who had just been dead a few moments ago.

The last time he held him his heart had already stopped beating. And no matter what he did Naruto didn't flinch. It had broken his heart. He didn't know how he was going to face lady when he got back.

But just when he thought it was over for him, Naruto miraculously returned from the land of the dead.

"Leave the rest to me Dante" Naruto suddenly said to Dante as his glared at Mundus. It was about time he paid Mundus back.

Dante snapped out his daze when he heard Naruto's words and was about to stop him when a golden bright flash of light burst out from Naruto's body surprising him.

Naruto's body tone turned a dark golden hue, with golden flames burning off of his body. Two flat white horns grew upward out of his forehead and the whisker marks on his cheeks thicken into black square shape on his face. His pupils became a golden color with a dark orange slit down the middle and black sclera.

His fingernails turned into sharp claws and his body tone gained a dark hue to it. Six magatama markings appeared around his collar bone, with some sort of prominent circular/swirl design over his stomach, and various other lines extending along his body in an intricate design.

The cross guard looks like a demonic spiral connecting to a small skull at the end of each side with a hand coming out of it mouth. The grip of the sword has an elaborate design with two small pointed horns acting as the pommel.

On the flat sides of the sword is the demonic skull that looks like that of a fox with four pointed demonic horns on the top of the skull connecting to the cross guard. There are six demonic horns under the skull, three on each sides with the two horn on the side of it head being the biggest.

The long blade had three elongated jagged edges on both sides of the blade. The sword gave off a demonic aura and had a completely new feel to it.

It was nothing like the blade he once wielded. Moreover, It felt less like a blade and more like an entity.

'Is this what the kyubi meant by a present?' Naruto marvelled at the sight of the blade. It was true demonic sword in all sense. There was even a faint red glow around the sword.

"What is going on? How?!" Mundus felt like he had witnessed the impossible. Even though it was happening in front of his eyes, he refused to believe it.

Not only had Naruto managed to escape death but he had even become a demon in the process.

Did Dante have something to do with it? mundus could help but wonder as he glared at Naruto.

The moment the two of them made eye contact Mundus felt a pressure from him was completely beyond his comprehension. If he was to guess, he'd say that Naruto was now more of a threat to him than Dante and Sparda ever was.

Never would he ever imagined that the human he considered insignificant would actually make him feel this way.

'Just what happened to you Naruto? How did you become so powerful? Or Is this really the true power of your Demon?' Dante couldn't wrap his head around it no matter how he thought about it. But one thing was certain. Naruto was no longer human.

"Don't get cocky just because you have become a demon. You are still no match for me" Mundus roared at Naruto before shooting four homing bolts at Naruto.

Naruto swung Purgatory at the four homing bolts deflecting each of them shocking both Mundus and Dante.

"I am not." Naruto replied the stunned Mundus before he flew higher into the sky. Once he hovered above Mundus, he raised his right arm with his palm opened wide as he gaze down at Mundus.

'What was the name of that technique again? Oh right...

"RASENGAN!"
