Beginning with a Bang 3

Scene break

Azazel's House, Tokyo

After Naruto and Azazel settled down in Azazel's house Azazel began.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Azazel" said the man scratching his cheek.

"Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto" replied Naruto simply.

"That's a Japanese name," said Azazel aloud.

"Ok, now on to business, to tell you from the beginning about the history of this world, I need to tell you about the supernatural world's history first," said Azazel in an all-business tone to which Naruto nodded.

"The Three Factions were created from the power of the Biblical God or God of Bible, a religious God on this planet. When he first created us, everything was good going, all the Angels were following his orders and living peacefully.

But one day Lucifer, one of the first Angels to be created had a disagreement with Father and took his followers and left heaven to raise war against heaven and father to take the throne of heaven from him. He shed his Angel wings and replaced them with the wings of a bat.

Coincidentally, at the same time, some of the angels of heaven committed or thought of doing one of the seven sins of lust, sloth, greed, envy, wrath, gluttony and pride and fell from grace from heaven and became fallen angels with the wings as black as night signifying their fall from grace.

Most of the fallen angels under my leadership formed an organisation called Grigori which was already established when we are in Heaven and inhabited in the underworld otherwise called hell" he took a deep breath and continued.

"We had a conflict with devils on the territory as they also live in the Underworld. And so began what is now called  The Great War. During the war, all the three factions of the Bible fought against each other for so many things.

Devils fought to capture heaven and dethrone God under the leadership of the four great satan's, Fallen Angels fought with devils to get in the good grace of the God under my leadership and get back to our position back in heaven. Angels fought under God's orders to save humanity from the supernatural world and to maintain peace in the world.

The Great War lasted for several millennia resulting in drastic losses to all three factions. First we, the Fallen retreated as I saw no point in continuing the war any further after that both Devils and Angels also retreated creating a temporary truce.

But the damage was already done. Because of the injuries suffered during the war the original four satan's Lucifer, Leviathan, Beelzebub and Asmodeus succumb to their injuries and died. Even the God of the Bible, my father died because of his injuries, Michael taking the leadership of Angels, maintaining the balance and becoming the protector of Heaven.

This is classified information. So, I suggest you not tell this to anyone as its impact will be devastating on the three factions. And to my faction we suffered great losses in our number and are recovering from our losses" he said sadly with grief.

"Lucifer made creatures which are opposite to Angels in every way of speaking literally and figuratively. He, with his followers, originally formed the 72 Pillar Clans of Devils with different powers and bloodlines. He created a new race who are opposed to light and named them devils the opposite to angels.

He, with 3 others became the first 4 leaders of the underworld to go by the name Maou or Satan. All devils are in a way his children with his wife Lilith. There were 72 clans at the beginning but because they participated in the great war it was declined to 39 clans. After the death of the original Satans, it didn't deter their children from making plans to go to war on other factions.

And when they were making plans on how to make their attack, all the other pillar clans opposed the idea as they feared that this may lead to devils as a race's extinction and formed into an anti-satan faction and so the civil war began. It went on for some years resulting in the victory of the anti-satan faction, banishing the children of original satans to the outskirts of the underworld.

The four-strong devils who played a great role in victory were made the new Satans of the underworld, and led to a peaceful time in the underworld. This resulted in a sharp decline in the surviving pillar clans as well which were declined to 27 if I remember correctly.

The first and foremost clan is the Bael clan which holds the rank of 'Great King'. Famous for their Power of Destruction which erases everything from existence" and the list went about all other clans which included Agares, Belial, Phenex and so on. But Azazel didn't say about 4 specific clans. But he continued.

"And this concludes about the explanation of all devil clans expect 4 clans whose former heir becomes the current 4 great satans of the Underworld. Those are Gremory, Sitri, Astorath and Glasya-Labolas. The current strongest devil is known as the super devil and the Maou Lucifer, Sirzechs Lucifer is from the Gremory clan with he had Power of destruction through his mother.

Serafall Leviathan formerly Sitri, the Maou Leviathan who is responsible for foreign affairs uses ice magic. Ajuka Beelzebub a former member of the branch family of the Astaroth clan is a genius who invented the evil piece system and another Super Devil.

He has created the famous Kankara formula which was said to bend the reality and finally Falbium Asmodeus from the Glasya- Labolas clan who is the physically strong enough plough through buildings reinforced with magic. These are the satan's and the strongest devils said to surpass even the original 4 satan's.

The evil piece system created by Ajuka Beelzebub helps devils to reincarnate other races into devils. This system is based on a chess game. So the pure-blooded high-class devils can reincarnate humans into reincarnated devils to bolster their numbers.

Angels also have the same type of system but, it is in the form of a Deck of cards. All the seraphs have their decks. We fallen angels don't have any such system as angels fall from heaven and we can have 'our' children to add to our ranks to increase our numbers and my effort of creating artificial sacred gears is one such attempt to improve our strength" said Azazel.

Though it was a lot of information to take in, Naruto took it well but he had one question for this man. All this information was valuable and he is telling him all this, just like that, he didn't think.

"Why are you telling all this to me. I'm new here, but you didn't need to tell me all this and as I can say that it consists of some important facts like the death of the Biblical God and some other things.

For all you know about me I'm a stranger who came out of nowhere and may use this information against you or something" asked Naruto calculating. If the man wants to play the game, who is he to object. Azazel simply smiled and replied.

"You are correct. I don't know anything about you. But I'm telling you this as a way of reminding myself of all the past that happened and I can tell that you don't know about this world by the way of your entrance.

As it serves 2 purposes of giving a detailed explanation of the history of this world and reminding myself of my goal to achieve peace to this world and I can say that you are powerful from the power I can feel coming from you even before implanted the Sacred Gear. If I can make you an alley, that will be good for everyone in the future." said Azazel with a neutral tone.

During all his explanation Naruto didn't feel any kind of malice or animosity towards any other faction or any disrespect neither disdain towards the man who cast others out of heaven nor any pride in his achievements in his life or position as a leader of Fallen Angels.

He can say that this man is powerful and intelligent and if he is telling all this to him and deduced that he is going to be a valuable ally in the future, Naruto knew that he had some kind of plan in mind to use him in future. He can't help but appreciate Azazel's straightforwardness. He was used to being respected and admired as a war hero and leader of the village during his reign as Hokage and after the 4th Shinobi war in Elemental Nations.

As a fellow leader, he can appreciate Azazel's attempt to gain an alley by being straight forward and so Naruto concluded. Azazel is good with wordplay and his intentions are good as well, which means he is doing this for everyone not for any personal gain.

"Yes. I can use a person like you as an alley as you know more about this world than me." Naruto said smiling and continued.

"For giving me that Sacred Gear by 'reviving' me as you thought and all the information you gave me, I'll give 2 favours. As for my allegiance, I'll wait for a while and see" said Naruto and continued.

"I want to explore this world and know how it works for myself. Speaking of my sacred gear, can I conclude that you have a plan to train me how to use it yourself as you are very interested in making and using them" asked Naruto sharply, the calculating tone returning to his tone again.

Azazel smirked at this development. He thought Naruto would be intelligent but he didn't think Naruto's intelligence to be this sharp, but he can conclude that Naruto was indeed powerful and with the addition of his new sacred gear, he is going to be a monster in future which is just a bonus for his allegiance if Naruto decides to alley himself with them.

As for another way, if Naruto didn't ally himself with them, he should think something about it in the future but from the looks of it the man in front of him is a good person and he concluded he will decide for the best. Azazel nodded his head to Naruto.

"Yes, I intend to train you in the use of your sacred gear Shadow Light. I'll agree to your terms, Naruto and hope for the best" said Azazel in a calm tone and extended his hand as a gesture to finalize their agreement Naruto also extended his hand and both men shared their hands agreeing. They both nodded their heads to each other gesturing they have a consensus on the matter.

"Now that is out of the way, let me explain to you about your sacred gear. Your sacred gear is called Shadow Light and as I said earlier, it is made from two elements or rather, sources.

One is the soul and consciousness of the Shadow Dragon Skiadrum, who, in his last moments asked to use his remaining consciousness and energy to make a sacred gear to remind the world of his existence, the other being the pure light energy that angels and fallen angels use.

As I was making it, I got an idea of mixing both elements one being made of pure light, and the other being made of shadows, darkness and void. And the result is that of the sacred gear you have to know and as there is no backlash on you, I can conclude that it is a success.

As for you using it, even without any training, you should feel familiar towards all the shadows and light particles in the environment." to which Naruto nodded as he can sense a familiar feeling towards everything around, even more so as it is nighttime from his connection with shadows. Azazel continued.

"Shadows can be used in several ways and I can tell you some, but special techniques are belonging to the shadow dragon himself if you search within your self you can find his conscious within you giving you all the knowledge and you can train with that knowledge yourself.

I can help in training you with the use of light energy. As I'm one of the best to use holy light magic, as for the strength of the light items you make it will depend on your heart. If you are pure enough it will be strong but none the less it will be as strong as that of fallen angels.

The purity comes into play if you won't make your strongest weapon. Your strongest light spear will be as strong as that of a 12 winged angel or fallen angel. If you don't have any questions then we can begin your training immediately." said Azazel curiosity and excitement brimming in his voice and eyes as he is pretty much excited to test his newest creation. Naruto can understand Azazel's curiosity and nodded to begin.

And so began his training in the use of his Sacred Gear Shadow light.

And Cut.
