Chapter 12: Devil's Curse

Clover Kingdom [Morning Time]...

The squad of four is making their way to the border of the Clover King's territory, where there have been reports of people going missing and all kinds of strange things happening, such as a man who went missing coming back and killing his family before exploding and killing anyone nearby.

Naruto had an idea as to who was behind what was happening, but he didn't think she would come this far from the Spade Kingdom; however, all the evidence pointed to her magic being used.

The blonde sighed, knowing that this was going to be a troublesome day, but she knew she would have to deal with the woman sooner or later.

Clover Kingdom [Border of Neutral Zone]....

Naruto and his team came upon a village that had been destroyed, with buildings in ruins and dead bodies all around.

Sister Lily and Mimosa looked sick at the sight, but Naruto and Mereoleona kept their cool, looking around for the one responsible. Naruto had an idea as to who caused all of this death and destruction, and he was seriously considering killing her.

Now that they were close to the border, the blonde was certain she knew who was behind all of this; it could only be Vanica Zogratis.

The evil witch must have found out that he was a spy for the Clover Kingdom and followed him here for some payback for using her to gather information.

"Okay, team, listen up!"Naruto said to get everyone's attention. "From the way those people were killed, I suspect that we are going up against one of the Dark Triad members, Vanica Zogratis. She uses blood and cursed warding magic, and she can also enhance her disciples with her cursed magic."

"Why would she come all the way to the Clover Kingdom?" Sister Lily asked looking confused as to why one of the leaders of a country would come here and kill so many people for no reason.

"Vanica is an evil witch of a woman; she doesn't care about the lives of others and she kills anyone she deems useless to her," Naruto replied, not wanting to tell everyone Vanica was more than likely here because she felt used by him and wanted revenge.

"If you come across her, remember that her cursed warding magic that she got from her Devil Megicula is very dangerous and can kill you. So, don't hesitate to use everything you have to eliminate her." Naruto said as he watched Sister Lily and Mimosa struggle with the idea of killing someone.

"So how do you know this Vanica woman Blondie," Mereoleona asked as she can see that there was more to the story that Naruto was not telling them.

Naruto looked at the Vermillion Haired woman in annoyance, she would have to be the one to over complicate things, the blonde swear to himself that he would fuck her ass until she would be shitting his cum for weeks later.

"She was one of the people I served under while I was there, and I used my position to gather a lot of Intel in the Spade Kingdom," Naruto answered, looking at Mereoleona's grinning face as it seemed like she had figured out why Vanica followed him here.

"So were you fucking this evil bitch?" Mereoleona asked casually, causing Sister Lily and Mimosa to gasp in shock at her crude and blunt question.

"Sigh, that is not the point; we have to find Vanica and anyone she brought with her before she goes any further in the Clover Kingdom," Naruto stated, having had enough of his mother's games.

"So you were dicking her down, she must have followed you here to either kill you for using her or to capture you to get her favorite toy back," Mereoleona said as everything made sense now.

"You don't have to say it like that; you know, she would come here regardless of if I was involved or not. They have a plan to invade the Clover Kingdom in a few years' time. Me being here just made her do something reckless and attack before the Spade Kingdom was fully prepared." Naruto stated, tired of Mereoleona's questions.

Sister Lily looked at the blonde with disgust; all those people back there died because he had to get his dick wet with a crazy bitch who had a powerful devil inside her. The blonde was her friend, but she couldn't look at him right now, so she walked away with Mimosa following her to watch her back.

Mimosa didn't know how to feel about the blonde connection with Vanica, but she wasn't as judgmental as Sister Lily; she knew men tended to think with their dicks sometimes and couldn't see the consequences of their actions until after they were done, hell, her father had a few bastard children running around, so she would hold off on her judgement on the blonde.

"Sigh...look what you did; are you happy now?" Naruto asked as he watched Sister Lily and Mimosa walk out of sight, but he was sure they would stay close enough for him to sense if they were attacked.

"It has to be done; trying to keep a secret like that would only hurt the mission. Vanica can use it as a distraction in battle. It's better for them to hear it from you now," Mereoleona states with a serious look on her face.

Naruto just looked at the mother of his daughters with annoyance; she was right, of course, but he wouldn't let her have the satisfaction of him admitting it.

"When we get back home, I am going to pound your ass until all the stress you cause me daily disappears," Naruto stated seriously.

“Promises, promises,†Mereoleona replied with a savage grin, Naruto growled and gave her ass a hard slap making the Lioness glare at him.

"Now let's go get the others so we can finish this mission as quickly as possible," Naruto said, walking in the direction he sensed Lily and Mimosa were in. But a voice stopped him.

"It's been a long time since we last saw each other," said the female voice. "I hope you missed me because I sure missed you."

Naruto turned around just in time to dodge a blade of blood that came his way from Vanica who was grinning with a look of lust and twisted love on her face.

"I didn't miss you even a little," Naruto said feeling his head hurting from dealing with this crazy bitch.

"Aww, did you have to say that, Naru?" Vanica said with a sly smile. "You are so mean."

"So this is the woman you've been fucking while I raised our daughters," Mereoleona said as she stared at Vanica.

Vanica heard what Mereoleona said and her face went blank; she looked at the other with killing intent before Vanica broke the silence.

"So what are you to my Naru?" Vanica asked with bloodlust in her voice.

"Not that it's any of your business, but Naruto is my lover," Mereoleona replied with a smug look that made Vanica growl.

"Is that what you think? Well, then, you're going to have to die." Vanica said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, which were glowing with murderous intent.

"I was thinking the same thing," Mereoleona said as she got into a fighting stance before glancing at Naruto. "Don't interfere; this bitch is mine."

Naruto sighed as he watched the crazy women he seemed to always attract come to blows, destroying the surrounding area. Naruto's senses also picked up that his sister Lily and Mimosa were also under attack.

Earlier With Sister Lily and Mimosa...

Sister Lily walked away from Naruto with Mimosa trailing behind her, her mind was coming to terms with what she had just learned – that Naruto was somehow responsible for the dead people they had seen earlier because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants.

Mimosa looked worried for the nun, not knowing what to say to make her feel better; she could understand how she felt, Sister Lily was a kind woman and seeing those people getting killed by the blonde's crazy ex-girlfriend was a tough pill to swallow.

"Look what we have here, Halbet. Two lost little girls." The skinny man with devil horns on his head grinned.

"Ha ha! These ugly women should be crushed out of existence, Sivoir!" A blonde-haired woman's bloodlust dripped from her.

"Who are you two, and what do you want?" Mimosa demanded.

"We are the Dark Disciples, and we are here to take your lives," Halbet stated as her hair began to move like whips.

"So please struggle as much as you can; it will just make your deaths that much more enjoyable for us." Sivoir said, licking his lips.

"Are you the ones who killed all those people?" Sister Lily asked in a soft voice.

"Yes, we are. We made sure they died as slowly and painfully as possible; did you enjoy our work?" Sivoir asked with a smirk, and his fellow disciples mimicked it.

Sister Lily's expression changed to one full of rage surprising Mimosa, and the nun's devil magic activated as horns grew on her head.

Mimosa looked over at her sister Lily nervously, but she couldn't worry about her with the battle that was about to come as both sides launched their attack on the other.
