Weeks had passed in the relative darkness of the underworld as Naruto's imps continued the steady escavation of the area surrounding the Reaper's prison. In that time, they'd managed to discover an ocassional pocket of gold, here and there, but they had been unable to locate anything more substantial. Not even an underground river or lava flow had been come across so far, and Naruto was beginning to grow more than slightly annoyed.
“Ugh, they REALLY didn't want you to be found, did they?” Naruto grumbled slightly as he walked around in a half toga taken from the sheets off his bed.
“Well, yes, that WAS the general idea.” The Reaper grinned back at the boy before lightly shifting in place as it blocked a rough kick the boy threw at his chest. “I AM one of the most feared creatures in the entire Underworld.”
“And as modest as an Uchiha too.” Naruto snapped out, growling slightly as he snapped into another kick, throwing his weight into it this time as the demon grunted slightly in the effort to block it.
“Ah, yes... These... Uchiha sound like such a delightful bunch!” Horny was grinning, viciously as he looked at the twitching red eyed Uzumaki. “Such blood thirsty killers! You will simply HAVE to introduce them to me sometime.”

“So did I.” Naruto swore softly as he rubbed at his aching hand, while glaring back at the Reaper.
With little else to do, this had been how the pair passed the time, sparring and talking back and forth while hoping, that eventually they'd find a portal or something to make things more interesting. The monotony was beginning to wear on even Naruto as he sighed slightly and growled back at the Reaper.
