Standing on a sandy beach, my euphoric joy of having escaped the clutches of my own kind did not last long when the unbearable pain came
It was maddening, having what I came to realize was an entire chakra network rapidly forming inside my body, but I endured nonetheless and eventually, after feeling myself having grown a great deal stronger, the pain subsided.
I stand, observing my new, and improved body, as the signature power source of the Naruto verse starts filling up my chakra coil.
Another reserve, another well spring of energy to draw upon, yet I have no clue as to why I now have chakra despite never having eaten a chakra fruit, or having any ancestor in my line who had done so.
The only thing that comes to my mind though, is mygift.
So I sat down on the sand, my Armani suit soiled by the fine grains which would have ached my heart dearly if it weren't for my utility magic.
I probe deeply into my soul, an esoteric part of my being that I have gotten to know intimately over centuries of imprisonment by my master.
Sitting comfortably at the center of my soul, hidden by layers of what composited my very being is an achromatic mass of void that just exists, waiting to be called upon.
And oddly enough, inside said mass of void is my King Piece, just floating there, working overtime to fill my empty reserve with Demonic Energy.
I let the tendrils of my soul probe the mass, before I wince, and have to reel back from the sharp pain cutting my very being.
My eyes open, as I massage my head.
It aches a little, not from any form of mental exhaustion, mind you, but from the knowledge that I had just gained.
Planes Anchor is the name of my gift.
My power, true to its name, allows me to drop anchor in different worlds using my body as a conduit, and my energy source as fuel, then from there allow me to travel between said worlds freely.
The anchor disintegrates once removed from a world, and there's also a cooldown of ten years for them to regenerate.
Currently, I can only have one anchor up at a time, except for my own world since my essence is that of the DxD verse in nature.
That is to say if I want to travel to a different world beside my DxD world now, I need to wait ten years for my anchor to regenerate after removing it, and the same would apply if I want to return to this world after I have gone to a different one.
I can also go anywhere, any world, with enough anchor, but I cannot go anywhere in time.
Not from before my first arrival somewhere, or before I left somewhere.
If I ever return to the elemental nation, I can appear anywhere onward in its' timeline, but not before my first arrival here on this beach, or before the first time I left, if I were to leave.
And the same applies to my world, if I ever return, I can land anywhere in the timeline - except before the moment I left.
But despite all that restriction, there are also some upside.
My Plane Anchor not only enables me to travel to different worlds, but also alters my body to the laws, and rules of that world.
That's why I have a chakra network, and if I were to travel to the One Piece world, I should be able to use Haki, and have godly strength given enough training too.
And since the essence of chakra is the combination of physical, and spiritual aspects of one's being, and because I have lived longer than most with four centuries of age, and a physical body even stronger than most Kage, my chakra reserve is rather formidable.
Almost equal to that of my Touki in fact.
I'd say I'm somewhere between a mid to high ultimate class in terms of all my reserves combined, if not lacking the skills to back it up, but I'm not 100 percent sure myself.
Thankfully some test subjects came my way in the form of two dozen men, and women in shinobi's vests flickering out onto the open beach.
One of the riff raff whistled and pointed at me. "Damn cap, did we just hit the jackpot or what? Cause I think we've just found one of those fabled Uzumaki bastards judging by his reserve."
At his words, I realise that I am indeed letting my chakra flares all over the place with how unfamiliar I am with this energy.
Something that's relatively easy to fix by covering my chakra coil with my plentiful amounts of Touki.
Although that powerful sensation from the combined Touki, and chakra strikes me as odd, but I paid it no mind since it doesn't last for long, as my Touki easily overwhelms my newly acquired energy source, before my chakra signature vanishes.
Judging by their startled expression, it worked as their supposed leader, a red haired woman with shark teeth, and a very odd hairstyle clenches the handle of her two swords and let out a fierce smile.
"Careful, this one is dangerous."
Handsigns start flashing but I do nothing.
So they cannot sense Touki, I mused with a hum at the incoming tidal waves.
17 attacks, all of them of the water variety come at me.
17 attacks of which I do nothing but let it wash over my touki enhanced flesh.
It's more like a rough, hot shower than anything, and I feel invigorated from this exotic feeling of being the one in control.
That old bastard of mine would never, and so he will rue that day that I return.
So I laugh, and the rumble resulting from the thrumming of my chest, and the unintentional flaring of my chakra disperse the steam that is starting to engulf the place.
Hmm, need to work on that control asap. I thought, displeased at the fact that chakra didn't come to my call as easily as my other energy sources.
I look around savoring the disbelief of my new test subjects with a smirk and bow.
"I'm still new to this, so pardon me if I break a limb or two."
AN: For simplicity sake, and since this is an AU DxD, the power scaling will go something like this:
Genin-Low class
Chunin-Mid class
Jonin-High class
Kage-Ultimate class-MC current level
Super Kage-Maou Class
Powerful Otsutsuki or Six path Hagoromo-Super Devil
Then Great Red, and Ophis are in a tier of their own, maybe equal to the god of the Otsutsuki.
Note that ninjas in Naruto focus more on skills and lethality, while being in DxD are just downright more destructive with higher energy reserve in general. So even though Serafall can downright freeze a country, she'll still die if a kunai pierce her heart, or a sword chop her head off. Plus pretty sure EMS Sasuke with perfect Susanoo can, and will survive whatever Serafall throws at him, so the fight is still gonna be pretty even.
