Retooled: January 4, 2019
This was its own part, but by an overwhelming demand for it to be removed, I just added it as part of Chapter One. Why some could not understand what a Forward is not a note, is beside me. However, since this is not a book I will overlook it and do it.
I also had to redo the scene where Sasuke sent Naruto away after some more research and assistance from who helped me discover the flaw that was there in the scene. I also changed the note as well. I also adding some extra thinking on Sasuke's part for it to work right after they appeared on Training Ground 7.
Forward:
First of all, let me state that this project is my main one. Now, since I am having issues of someone being my proofreader, I will be forced to do many rewrites of each chapter. I will also be using a free version of Grammarly to assist me with my grammar.
Now please note that I have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and it is one of these ways to stay focus on the chapter that I am working on. This causes me to rewrite each chapter.
This will be the first and last copyright notice for the story, for I will not continue to do it on each chapter. I do own High School DXD nor do I own Naruto or any other series that I might take stuff from to add to this story.
If I did, I would not have a time skip between Naruto Shippuden and Baruto so we can how things evolve with everyone as well Tenten would have a backstory. Naruto would have a learned more during the three-year training trip and someone would have informed him the secret about the shadow clone Jutsu.
Now, please note that I inherited this story from Shadow-Image-Comics who passed away a while back so please do not say that I stole this story from him. That copy has been removed from his profile also my pen name is in his honor.
Also, please note that he adopted this story from pain17ification who got tired of flames. Now, to be sure that I would not be accused of plagiarism or have people claim that I stole this story form him as well, I contacted pain17ification.
Pain17ification had given me permission to continue this and do this story with my own alterations. If I recall, Pain17ification's last chapter was 6. I do not recall how far ShadowImageComics got, but I will be working to complete this story.
Now please also note that the Naruto and the characters come from an alternate version of the Naruto world. One where Sasuke did not learn his lesson and accepted the arm replacement as well have not left the village for a journey of forgiveness. There are other things that are different from canon as well in this world as well, but mainly the same.
Before you start saying that I am just making their breast too large, please note that I am doing some research on fandom Highschool DXD site as well finding other anime and game characters that have similar builds to find their three sizes are if I decide to use them. However, I will attempt to not use them at all. However, using that information, I then use that information. So please do not fuss just because you believe that I am just making their cup sizes up. I am using fandom wiki for High School DXD that has that information.
I am looking for a beta reader. If anyone wants to do a reading story for this story, then please let me know. I will be using both the version ShadowImageComics gotten from pain17ification and what I gotten from ShadowImageComics as the bases.
Now, I decided to call the world that Naruto comes from as Ashenguard. I got this name from the name of a Skyrim Mod for character creation that has Naruto's eye types in it. I decided that this perfect for me to use.
Dedication:
I will also salute to one of the greatest men in the world of comics. He was none other than Stan Lee.
Lee collaborated with artist-writer Kirby on the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Silver Surfer, and X-Men. With artist-writer Ditko he created Spider-Man and the surgeon Doctor Strange, and with artist Bill Everett came up with the blind superhero Daredevil.
While DC kept their perfect heroes with not flaws, Stan Lee decided to add some human element to them. So, due to this, he was the one that added realism to his comics and the one to create imperfect heroes during the time that others just made them perfect. Today his passed away. In honor of Stan Lee and I creating some OCs for this next chapter that will be based off some of Marvel's characters which I thought would be perfect for this story. I was already going to do it, but much later. Let us stand up and salute...
"Excelsior!"
To Stan Lee, may you rest in peace and may those that continue your work not destroy it but continue the greatness that you started. You will be missed.
December 28,1922 – November 12,2018
Chapter One
Fantasy and Reality
Realm: Earth – JUUAIRP [1]
Location: Kuoh City, Japan
The sound of birds chirping filled the air as the sun clearly shined brightly in the sky. The light of the rays illuminated the area that was below it, which contained a large group of buildings.
These buildings had young men and women walking to and from them as well in between them. If one was to look, they would notice that each one of these young men and woman was wearing what appears to be a school uniform. These young people were students to what is known as Kuoh Academy.
The nation of Japan that the city of Kuoh was located at is a nation that is rich in martial arts history as well many different ideas about the subject of supernatural. Kuoh is a city that is like many others in Japan, it has hidden secrets. Secrets that are not well hidden but are not well known to those that do not know about them.
Kuoh Academy was a school that is rich with tradition and was considered the best of the top five schools of the city. However though, until last year it was originally an all-girls private boarding secondary education school. That had changed at the start of this year.
Due to a large influx of cash and new owners, the school had changed. New buildings were added to the newly acquired land. That was not all, for several of the old ones were renovated so the school could become a co-ed school as well hold all compulsory classes all the way up to college level class bring it up to become the largest boarding school ever in Kuoh City.
However, the school did not drop its entry requirement at all. In the past, they had issues with those that passed the required exams but did not have the money to pay for attention. So to fill the classrooms, they decided to add a special tuition program that would allow those that passed the entry test but did not have the money to pay tuition to attend the school now.
Due to this, this year there were three times more students here than before. They were walking among the different buildings either leaving or heading to their next class or club depending on their schedule and what type of student they were.
Now, in the section of the campus that was for the high school students, there was something going on there. Unlike the other sections, this one was the only one that had one to three old buildings from before the upgrade that took place.
One of these buildings is one that was not touched when the renovations took place. The reason was not known, but even though it was left alone it was being used. This building was the first building that was built when the academy first founded right after World War II.
Even though the academy itself was not using it, it was in use by one of the many clubs that existed, it was the Occult Research Club. However, unknown to those that were not part of it or the world it was part of; it was the base of something that many of mankind either refused to acknowledge existed or believe in the half-truths that are known to the world of mankind.
Currently, inside of the main room, it was not completely dark due to the closed shutters and curtains on the windows. There was some light from the sun coming in, but only enough to give it an eerie look.
One could see in the room though due to it, and they could see that the room was filled Victorian style chairs, couches, desk, as well light fixtures that line the walls of the room with matching carpet and wallpaper. There were a few skulls well as magic arrays here and there and leather-bound tombs on the bookshelf that gave the room that occult look to it.
Currently sitting at the desk in the darkness with their face covered with their hands was the only person that was in the room. With what little lighting that was in the room, one could see that this person was a female with long hair and she was wearing what appeared to be the female version of the uniform for Kuoh Academy. This person was none other than Rias Gremory, one of the top three girls of the academy in looks and desire as well a second-year student.
Rias was worried and concerned. She had an issue that she has been trying to deal with for several years now, and now she had failed to come to a workable solution. Last night was her final gamble, something that she did not want to do but it failed as well.
What she had attempted to do was stupid and thank Satin that it was interrupted by her brother's [Queen]. Thinking back, she would admit that it was not the best decision to make at the time and would have regretted if she went thru it. As a matter of fact, it was one of several things that she had done with Issei that she regretted, in all in an attempt to get out her engagement. However, even now that course of action was no longer available even though she currently understands that it would not have worked [2].
A soft sigh filled the air breaking the silence that was there in the room. Rias was filled with despair and sorrow. Her hands slid down from her face and landed on the desk in a loud thump. She reached up one hand and snapped her fingers as a flame appeared onto the wick of the candle that was on the desk in front of her.
The newly formed flame danced on the candle wick as it shined its light on her as she stood up. The light revealed that she was a beautiful young woman who appeared to be in her mid-teens that stood at the height of five feet and eight inches tall with fair skin, blue-green eyes and a buxom figure that had a very endowed pair of breast.
The most distinctive feature about this young woman was her long crimson hair that reached down to her thighs. However, there was a single strand of hair sticking out from the top of her head. Her hair also had a few loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face.
The outfit that she was wearing was indeed Kuoh Academy girl's school uniform. It consisted of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with a black ribbon on her shirt collar. This was worn under a black shoulder cape and matching button-down corset. She was also wearing a magenta skirt with white accents, and on her feet was a pair of brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks.
She currently had a lost look on her face along with the dull look in her eyes. She once again sighed and decided that it would be best to take her mind off her current thoughts.
She stretched pushing her well-endowed breast outward. She walked over to the door that leads out of her office/club room and opened it. She walked thru the door and into the hallway. She closed the door behind her and turned her body to the left and walked down the hall.
After a few seconds of walking, she stopped at the second door from the one that she had left on the left side of the hallway. She then reached into her pocket and pulled out a simple gray skeleton key and inserted it into the lock of the door. She then turned it as the sounds of metal cylinders moving was heard as a flash of light as well appeared in the cracks between the door and door jab.
Normally this was another room that was a storeroom, but when using the key, the door would lead to a completely different room [3]. Once she was done turning the key, she placed her hand on the doorknob as a small smile found its way onto her face. This door now leads to the one place that she could be who she wants to be which is her true self. For this place holds all her hopes and dreams, even though reality had taken a turn for the worst yesterday as well last night, she could forget it all here.
She opens the door and reached into the darkness of the room. There her hand felt a light switch and pushed it down. The light was turned on as she stepped inside the room that gave her simultaneous feelings of pride and embarrassment. For in this room was her pride and joy as well escape from her worries and concern of everyday life. This is where she kept her large and still growing collection.
She walks into the room that is filled along the walls as well as several shelves that were there in the center of the room. The room seems to be very large, larger than the building somehow. On each shelf was various Japanese manga and anime series as well models and action figures.
She had all the old ones as well newer ones. She even had rare versions. Her collection of complete for they were up to date and complete. She had made sure over the years to gain the ones that were out before she was born as well those that were either done or currently being done. She even had signed anime cases as well manga by the various staff and authors that did them which were wrapped in plastic as well copies for her to read and watch [4].
It was here in this room that Rias Gremory, the Heiress of the Gremory Clan, which was one of the remaining 72 pillars and one of the highest ranking and famous Devil families of the underworld come to escape reality. She escapes the reality that held all her problems and stress. Here, she could read herself into the fantasy that she had collected to inspire hopes and dreams, so she could continue her quest to make her own choices in her life.
She slowly walked into the room and closed the door behind her, which locked automatically. Without the key which only her and two others had, there was no way into the room except to find its actual location and break down the door. However due to the spells and its actual location is a secret, good look with that.
As she walked thru the room, she made a glance at all shelves that were there. In a matter of minutes, she made it to the area of the room where her manga collection was located and walked down them until she reached the one that was marked with the letter H. She then walked to the point where she pulled out a large thick book that was there. Inspecting the cover, she smiled at the sight of the main protagonist and the title behind them: The Hurricane Chronicles [5].
The protagonist of the series was in a destroyed orange and black jumpsuit, his face set in a fierce determination look that burned in those beautiful eyes that she could get lost in. His hair was like a sun, bright gold with spikes that shot in every direction like solar rays. Behind him were images of a raven black-haired man with strange eyes, a pink haired woman with a purple diamond mark on her forehead, a silver-haired man with a face mask, and finally a regal woman with three eyes and pure white hair.
So far this was her favorite among her collection. In some ways, her slight attraction to her [Pawn] Issei was because of some likeness in a few areas of the main character of this story. Neither gave up and willing stand up for those that were important to them regardless of the chances or odds that were against them. At this, she smiled, however, if she had a choice, she would like this character to be in her life in more ways than one. She then walked to a large leather lazy-boy chair and sat down and opened it.
Sadly, though this was the final book of the series, and she was currently reading the final chapter. She smiled as she read, for the main character, Menma Uzumaki, had just clashed for the final time with his estranged friend and rival Sasuke Uchiha. The clash has cost the two of them their dominant arms, but they were able to get replacements for them thanks to cells of their villager's first leader.
While Menma had immediately taken the replacement, Sasuke his and chose to travel the world and pay atonement for his crimes. Before he left, Rias saw that he ran into Menma one last time and finally accepted the scratched headband from their battle that they had against each other three years ago. With the promise to see each other again, they went their separate ways.
Rias kept reading and the story ended with Menma having married a girl she liked and can relate to by the name of Hinata Hyuga and ended up having two children. The final scene showed him having finally achieved his dream as Hokage. Then the next page showed the Hidden Leaf Village and Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox that has been with Menma since the start looking over the village with smiles as the ghosts of his mother and father looking over him as well with smiles on their faces.
Rias lets out a sigh as she closed the book and leaned all the way back into it. Really, out of all the books and anime that she has in her collection, the story of Menma was her favorite. To her, Menma was a hero who fought against his fate and saves his world. The female character that she liked and can relate to Hinata, heiress of her clan and went against all the odds just be with him and managed to become his wife. The last part she like, she would imagine herself in Hinata's shoes and blush thinking about how she would be happy if Riser was Naruto instead [6].
She wished she wished she could do the same and escape the marriage she was fated to be in with Riser Phenex, a pompous devil who saw her as nothing more than a plaything or a trophy. She smirked, if Menma was real, she was sure that he beat the pompous bastard into submission.
Sighing once again, she knew that Menma was just a fantasy and despondently put the book back into its place. As she did so, she wished with all her heart that he was real and that he would come to her aid like the other females that he had assisted and help in both the manga and anime series as well in fanfiction that she had downloaded over the years [7]. She smirked, if he was real she would be sure that her parents would force her to pursue him, but unfortunately for her, he was not.
Unknown Location
Fate, no one knows what sex it was, or if there is more than one. It changes with each religion while in some moments its nothing more than a force. This time though the Fates were three old women that watched the multiverse. They were the same ones that existed in Greek Mythology.
They like one world and did not like the way that it would end. They saw into the world that Rias was in and heard her wish. They smiled, for she had given them all an idea on how to alter the fate of both worlds for their amusement. They decided for once it would grant the Gremory Heiress a wish, but not in the way that anyone would expect.
Back to Rias Gremory
Steeling herself, she walked to the door and opened it. She reached to her left and hit the light switch turning off the light. As she continued out of the door, a sad lost appeared on her face as she quickly forced a smile on her face. She closed the door and slowly went back to her office/club room and wait for the arrival of her Peerage and her "Betrothed". All the while, she was desperately wishing for someone – anyone – to come and save her from what she felt was about to happen. Little did she know that the wheels of fate were forever altered affecting her world in more ways than one.
Realm: Ashenguard – JUUAIRP [8]
Location: Konohagakure, Leaf Hospital
At that very moment, there was something going on in a totally different world. One of the many worlds where Naruto was not meant to be Hokage, a world where he would never marry. A world where he was fated to die soon if the Fates had not listened one Rias Gremory.
This world is filled with limited technology, but the humans of this world use energy that is known as Chakra. The three factions do not exist in this world, but there are stories about them for some odd reason. The lands of this world are divided up into several nations that were named either after the elements or something that land provided to the rest of the world. These nations were known as the Elemental Nations.
Currently, the world is at peace at the moment. They were just recovering from the Fourth Great Shinobi War that ended just a seven months ago.
Here we find a teenage male that had blond spiky hair with bright blue eyes which were currently closed. He had three marks which were birthmarks that made it look like that he had whiskers on the cheeks of his face. Currently, he was laying on a hospital bed without his shirt on which showed off his well-defined muscles. Right beside him was an arm that was at a lighter color than he was skin which was not attached to him currently.
This person was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, the child of prophecy, the hero of the Fourth Shinobi War, The Toad Sage, member of team 7, and the most unpredictable shinobi of the leaf. He was also known as the son of the Fourth Hokage and one Kushina Uzumaki. To some, he was known as a savior like those of the Land of Waves.
Currently standing beside the bed was a female that had green eyes and pink hair. She was wearing a sleeveless red qipao dress that reached to her upper thighs, with white trimmings and white circular design on the back and it was tied with a black obi. She was also wearing a pair of black shorts underneath the dress, along with a pair of grey elbow and knee protectors. She was wearing a pair of heeled ninja sandals as well.
This was none other than Sakura Haruno, a student of Lady Tsunade, one of the supportive heroes of the Fourth Shinobi War, and member of team 7. At one time though, she was known as the girl that Naruto wanted to be with, but now she is more of a sister to him.
She had her hands over Naruto as they glowed. After a few seconds, she then picked up the arm and moved it to the point that it was connecting to the stub. Her hands then began to glow green again as it slowly attached itself to the stub as she kept an eye closely on the process.
"Nngh," Naruto groaned out as he felt his damaged nerves connecting with foreign ones as Sakura used her medical chakra to attach them together as well the arm to him.
"That wasn't fun…" Naruto remarked as the pain subsided once it was attached and she began to do some finishing touches.
"Oh, don't be such a baby," playfully Sakura admonished overseeing his operation, "You faced down Madara, Kaguya, and Sasuke-Kun and took more than this."
"Not the point." Grumbled Naruto as he flexed the pale fingers of his new arm as she took a step back and looked at him.
From the elbow down, his tan complexion turned an immediate white and the only thing separating the two skin tones was a dark scar. He then looked from his arm and looked at her. It was different from the wooded arm that he had before for this one he could feel and touch things.
"Speaking of him, where is Sasuke anyway, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked with concern in his voice.
Naruto took note of her reaction and knew she was not happy with being asked. She sighed with a downcast look at the question. He was about to change the subject when she spoke up.
"He wanted his own room and requested not to see anyone. He even rejected having his replacement arm attached by me or by Tsunade-Sama. So Shizune had to do it. I don't know what's wrong with him, but he's so different from how he used to be." She answered in a sad tone as Naruto sighed.
"We all are," Naruto commented in hopes of cheering her up, "Three years changes people. I'm sure he'll come around at some point."
Sakura nodded even though it was hesitant to his reply. She then took a deep breath and began to think about getting back on track on the matter at hand.
"I hope so, it would be nice if he does." Sakura stated in a low tone before returning to her normal attitude.
"Anyway, just take it easy for a while, Naruto. The arm needs some time to completely synchronize with your nerves. I say four days at most, eight days or more if you have any stress on it. Before you remind about your healing factor, it would take three times as long for Sasuke." She stated in a firm tone as Naruto nodded his head knowing that she was telling him the truth.
"Thanks for remembering that fact about me, only you and Baa-Chan remembers that I heal faster than everyone else." Naruto stated as she nodded her head in response.
"I'm glad you're right baka. You're my best friend." She smiled as she hugged him gently.
Naruto smiled and hugged her back. While before he would've wanted to be more than friends, he had taken plenty of time to sort out his feelings about her. While he still loved Sakura, it was more along the lines of loving a sister; one that he never had before.
Then his thought went to Tenten. She was a friend after he had knocked that fate bullshit out of Neji. Ino, well they had come closer as friends, but there was no chance of any other type of relationship with her at all. It shocked him though she had started to take a liken to Sai.
Then his thought went to the last female of the group, Hinata. He recalled her confession. He had appreciated what she had done and her feelings, but he was not sure about her. Sure, she was a friend like the rest of the rookie 12, but he never has gotten the chance to get to know her more than that.
So, as the way things are currently are at; he could not reply to her confession and she understood that. He was not sure how to handle the whole thing and never had the time to think about it. He figured that she at least though deserves an answer.
As these thoughts were going thru his mind, Sakura had wrapped his arm in bandages. They were to cause activation of the skin nerves so they would work on synchronization to his stump.
"Okay, once you are ready to leave you can head out to the check out/in desk and sign yourself out. I would recommend you to do some kunai chakra exercises with it to also increase your chakra flow in the arm as well for the next four days." She stated as she made sure the bandages were not going to fall off.
"In four days, you can either keep the bandages on, which I say for at least three months or remove them." She added as he nodded his head to show that he was paying attention to her.
"Anything else?" Naruto asked as she thought for a second and then smiled.
"Remember what you had to do when you completed the Wind Style: Rasengan after it was discovered that it damaged you as well?" Sakura asked as Naruto thought for a second and nodded his head.
"Then do that for a month. That will assist with the synchronization of the new arm." She stated as she cleaned up and walked to the door.
"We all are going to have a small get together tomorrow, so be there." She stated as she left as Naruto laid down and held his new arm up high into his view.
He raised his new right arm and started to constantly flex his fingers to get a better feel for it. He also smiled as he recalled the generosity for the First Hokage, Hashirama. It would've been very difficult to get used to having only one arm, and the puppet arm that he was using was okay, but it was weird. Now he just had to get used to this new arm which was must better and almost normal even though there was a dull feeling to it [9].
After the first had made the two arms for both him and Sasuke, the four late Hokages returned to their eternal rest. Before they left though, Minato Namikaze had wished his son, Naruto, nothing but the best. Not only that, but the four of them all stated that Naruto was already a Hokage in spirit and that he carried the will of Fire in him.
Hearing something like that from his heroes made Naruto grin and promise to keep the Will of Fire burning strong. Not only that, he was happy to see his father once again, but this time not in the seal. The reactions of his friends of learning this also were priceless.
"You know kit, you might want to give that girl Hinata a chance. After all, she has been wanting to be something to you since that day you saved her." Kurama, the nine-tailed fox that was sealed inside of him stated breaking his thoughts.
'I know, but I do not know much about her. I recall that each and every time I attempted to talk to her, she would faint.' Naruto replied back in his mind as Kurama growled softly in response.
"She might have been too close to the one person that she had a feeling for, have you thought about that? The one person that she sees as her perfect mate?"Kurama replied as Naruto thought about the times that he attempted to talk to Hinata and seen that her face turned red and she would faint, but then he recalls that the only person that was around each time was none other than him.
'Okay, I see what you are saying. I have to talk to her and see if I can get her to go on a date, but no further than that until I know more about her.' Naruto replied after he got to thinking about her.
"That is all I am asking for, give her a chance for out of the whole class, she was the only one that was not a Sasuke fangirl. Not only that, she was the only one that rushed to defend you when Pain had you there."Kurama replied as he made sure to job that memory in Naruto's mind.
Naruto nodded his head as he sighed again as he stood up from his bed and grabbed the clothes that Sakura had been nice enough to bring and left for him. He at once began to dress.
Once he was finished, he stood in a pair of burnt orange cargo pants with ah ash gray belt. He was also wearing a black shirt that had buttons on the sleeves and burnt orange color where the zipper was. There was a mesh undershirt, and his Hidden Leaf Headband tied to his head. On his shoulder was a white and black swirl sewed onto the left shoulder of his black shirt.
He slipped on his black sandals and the broken necklace that Tsunade gave him years ago, unbuttoned the right sleeve so his wrapped right arm had more freedom, and smiled before he left his room and made his way to the front desk to check out. As he walked, he thought maybe he ought to get a bowl or ramen and ask Ayame for some tips on what to do about getting to know Hinata.
After a few minutes, he finally came close to the desk. His eyes blinked when caught sight of Sasuke already at the desk. He was dressed in a black shirt with a high collar. He was also wearing dark purple pants with his sword strapped behind him. On his feet were black sandals, and a gray traveling cloak. This was the third member of team 7, another hero of the Fourth Shinobi War, but also the traitor and last Uchiha.
Sasuke turned just time to see Naruto and the blonde saw that Sasuke's left eye was still active. It was a red eye with rings and three tomoe markings on each ring; the Rinnegan provided to him by Hagoromo Otsutsuki when he unlocked the Uchiha's link to Indra.
Naruto continued to make his way towards the desk. As he approached, Naruto gave him a warm grin and waved with his new right arm.
"Yo, Sasuke! Glad to see you're alright! We really let each other have it, huh?" Naruto stated as he approached the desk to check himself out of the hospital.
The blonde chuckled good-naturedly like he was reliving a fond memory while the Uchiha's fingers twitched unseen. Truth be told, the Uchiha was still very sore about how even he and the blonde fool in front of him were; even after all the power, he had at his disposal. It infuriated him beyond measure. Blame his pride or his having both a superiority and inferiority complex, but Sasuke Uchiha was still bitter about the fight.
'I am an Uchiha, this cannot stand any longer.' Sasuke thought darkly and angrily as he looked at Naruto.
"Yeah…I suppose we did." He replied while he didn't let his emotions show.
"Do you mind if we talk privately for a moment, Naruto?" He asked as his bitterness slowly began to influence his thoughts, making him form a plan in his mind.
The blonde tilted his head in wonder and thought for a sec. He wonders what Sasuke wanted to talk about, but he then shrugged and smiled. Even though he sensed negative emotions coming from Sasuke, he thought Sasuke was just being Sasuke.
"Sure thing. Just let me check out really quick." Naruto replied as he looked at the nurse that was currently manning the desk for the day as she gathered his chart and the forms for his release.
Without waiting for the Uchiha to acknowledge the request, he filled out the needed forms that were needed to be filled out by him. The whole time he did so, Naruto did not notice how Sasuke just stood there looking at him. After he was done, they both walked out of the hospital doors and to one of the training fields around the village. This field was the training ground that belonged to Team 7 during their time as a Genin team.
The whole time, Sasuke's mind was thinking of ways to deal with the blond that was with him. He could not stand the fact that Naruto had stopped him as well become stronger. He recalled what he had learned about Obito's Kamui and discovered that it was the same thing that Kakashi had been able to do. Since it was an Uchiha Clan ability, Kakashi was required to tell him about it at the end of the war.
"That might work." Sasuke's dark mind decided after recalling everything that he could think of about it.
"Definitely takes you back, doesn't it Sasuke?" Naruto murmured as he smiled fondly at the area that they were currently standing.
The Uchiha couldn't help but agree as he regarded the three training posts. An image of Team 7 as fresh Genin appeared briefly before vanishing. For once, a small smile appeared on his face which vanished after a second as he recalled how Naruto was weaker back then and he was stronger.
"It does." Sasuke stated in a soft tone as he continued to look at the posts.
"So, what did you want to talk about Sasuke?" Naruto asked as he turned to look at the man that he called a brother and cared for so much to stop him from making a mistake.
"I want to know why you tried so hard to stop me? Why me? Why were you so against my revolution when it was meant to prevent others from living the hell we endured?" Sasuke asked as he continued to look in the opposite direction from Naruto.
"You're asking me that? Come on, Sasuke. You should know the answer to that." Naruto replied after blinking in surprise as the question.
Sasuke took a deep breath to keep his emotions in check. He slowly turned around and looked at him with a frown, showing Naruto that he did not know the answer like he thought he did which caused Naruto to sigh.
"Look, you're my friend Sasuke. If you went through with your revolution, you would've made yourself the enemy of the world; no better than Madara. I couldn't let you do that when I could help you. You've lived by hatred for so long and it hurts to see how much it's changed you. You can't do everything on your own, you know." Naruto elaborated as he looked straight into Sasuke's eyes.
Mismatching eyes turned away from concerned blue ones, unable to look at them. A few seconds passed without a word being said between them.
"I never asked for you to help me. I don't need your help, and I never did." Sasuke replied with a low hint of venom in his voice.
"That's just your anger talking," countered Naruto, "Let me in, Sasuke. I'm your friend."
"Yea," Sasuke acknowledged, "You are my friend…but you're also the biggest obstacle in my life."
The blonde frowned at the Uchiha's words while within Naruto's seal, rabbit ears perked up and a blood red eye shot open. The creature paid rapid attention to what was going on.
"Naruto watch out!"A deep voice yelled out which was none other than Kurama.
"But not anymore," Finished Sasuke as he turned back to Naruto, his Rinnegan eye spinning its tomoe rapidly and displacing the air around them right at that moment.
It was this time an unstable rift appeared between the two. The rift opening was right in front of Naruto as it was nothing more than a ripple to Sasuke. Naruto was unable to react fast enough to avoid it as the rift started to suck all that was before it in [10].
Naruto tried to brace himself with his chakra and even called on his Six Paths chakra to try to hold him in place. However, the chakra appeared too late and Naruto was sucked into the vortex while Sasuke fell to a knee from the chakra drain. His chakra hadn't recovered enough for him to that without any drawbacks, but he had always been an impatient man.
The next thing he knew though was that he was surrounded by Hidden Leaf ANBU before feeling something strike the back of his head. Then as he fell to the ground, he only knew darkness.
"We have to alert the Hokage at once." A male voice stated with alarm and concern in his voice as one of them vanished.
"Let take this little fucking traitor to T&I and inform them the reason why." Another male voice stated as they both picked him up.
"Anko is going to enjoy this." Stated another one as they vanished into a swirl of leaves.
Unknown Location
"If we are going to do something this is time." Stated the voice of one old lady.
"What is the fate of that world?" Asked another old lady.
"Naruto dies in the void. Sasuke will die as well. Peace will slowly erode since Naruto is no longer around. I already started taking measures. Shion was given a vision by me and started to act on my plan." The third voice of an old lady replied.
"I see future, that is why she is doing what she is doing." Stated the second voice, "Are we sure that we should being do this?"
"Sister Present, his soul has connections to her after all. Future has stated that both worlds will be destroyed, but in this action, we can save one world and grant Naruto a reward for being a good child of prophecy." Stated the first voice.
"Past is correct. If we do not act, this world Rias will end up being pimped out by Riser. She will be disowned by her family and war will destroy her world. Issei will be killed during the Rating Game and will not be able to save her as he did in the main timeline." Future stated.
"I have guided Shion to those that will assist Naruto better in the world. His world is doomed though due to our actions as well not without. At least with our actions, he will be rewarded." Future stated.
"I agree." Past responded as her and her sister began to act to guide the portal to where it was needed to be.
"I foresee Naruto will have a nice love life." Future responded.
Realm: Earth
Location: Kuoh City, Japan at Kuoh Academy Occult Research Club Room
As all that took place, something else was going on back in Kuoh Academy, more precisely in the Occult Research Club room with Rias. The room was filled with people. Rias was sitting on a couch with her legs crossed with an unhappy look on her face. Standing in front of her was none other than her problem, the issue that vexed her for years as well almost caused her to do something that she might regret last night.
As for the reason, well that was in the form of the person that was standing before her at this moment. This person looked very handsome to some people and looked like he was around twenty years old. On his head was short blond hair with dark blue eyes.
He was currently wearing what consisted of a burgundy blaze with gold embroidery on the right side with matching pants. On his feet were black dress shoes that were polished to a shrine. Under the blazer was a white dress shirt that was button up except for the last one, but it was enough to give everyone a slight view of his chest.
Standing behind the couch were members of Rias' Peerage. Among them was a beautiful young girl with long blond hair and green eyes. Her hair flowed all the way the way down her back, with split bangs over her forehead and a single strand sticking out from the top, sloping backward.
Like Rias, she was also wearing the standard Kuoh Academy girls' uniform. It was albeit with a black sweater vest over her dress shirt in place of a cape or corset. She was standing at the height of five feet and one-inch-tall in height. Like the other females in the room, she had a slender frame with A-Cup size breast. This was none other than Asia Argento, Rias' [Bishop].
Right beside her was a handsome young man with short blonde hair, grey eyes and a mole under his left eye. He was wearing the Kuoh Academy boy's school uniform, which consisted of a black blazer with white accents over a white long-sleeved dress shirt. He was also wearing a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and a pair of brown dress shoes on his feet.
He stood just eight inches over five feet tall. This was none other than Kiba Yuuto, Rias's [Knight].
Standing right beside him was a petite girl with white hair and hazel eyes. The front of her hair had two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back had a short bob cut. She was also wearing a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair. She was also wearing a Kuoh Academy girl's school uniform, without the shoulder cape.
Her height was six inches over four feet tall and seem to be flat chested, but if one looked closely, they would see that she did have breast, they were just small. She was Rias's [Rook], Koneko Toujou.
Standing right beside Rias was a female that stood at the height of five feet and six inches and weighs around a hundred and nineteen pounds. She had a very sexy looking body just like Rias' and her breast size was little large since they were D cup.
She had very long black hair and violet eyes. It was tied into a long ponytail that was reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward. She also had an orange ribbon holding her ponytail in place. Like every other female of Rias Peerage, she was wearing a customary Kuoh Academy girls' uniform, along with black knee-high socks. Her name was Akeno Himejima, and her role was that of serving as Rias' [Queen] in the peerage.
Now, currently off to the side was a beautiful adult woman appearing to be her in her early twenties. She had silver hair with matching eyes. Her hair, which flowed all the down her back, featuring a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest was let down ending in twin braids.
She was wearing what appears to be blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband over her head. She was wearing red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory. She was standing at the height of five feet and eight inches and seem to weight around the same as Akeno. This was Grayfia Lucifuge, Rias' sister-in-law and her brother's [Queen].
Currently, they were looking at Rias' one and only [Pawn]. He was standing up and pointing at Riser and demanded to know who he was. This boy looked nothing much, for he was an average height of five feet and seven inches tall. He had short brown hair and light brown eyes.
He was wearing the Kuoh Academy boy's school uniform which is a black blazer over a white long-sleeved dress shirt with black highlights. He was also wearing a black ribbon on the collar and matching dress pants. On his feet were a pair of blue and white sneakers. Under shit which was open, he had on a red T-shirt. This was none other than Issei Hyoudou.
"To answer your question, Hyoudou-san," began Grayfia, "The man standing before you is Riser Phenex-Sama, and he is the husband-to-be for Rias-Sama."
"Say what?" Issei cried out in anger and in disbelief at what he just heard.
The smug look on the blonde's face really set him off. Not only that, but something told him that this guy was not worthy of Rias and if he was, she would have told them about him long before now and would not have asked him to take her virginity last night.
Yes, Issei was a pervert and had no issues in letting others know it. Yes, he wants a harem, but he does have some morals and rules that one must follow. One, women need to be loved, so if you are going to have a harem than you must love them all. Two, you do not force a woman to submit to you. Three, peeking is one thing, something that he decided that he will do no longer, but taking advantage of a woman like he could have done last night was something that you do not do.
Yes, Issei wants Rias, but he could tell that she only flirt with him to get a reaction. There might be something there for him, but last night was something that he could tell that her full heart was not in it. Which is why he hesitated and did not act when she came to him. Somehow, he could tell that this guy is like him, but one that will violate every rule that he in place just because. That made him sick. What he heard and seen next seem to confirm his thoughts.
"I'll say this once more," Rias stated as she glared at the Phoenix, "I refuse to marry you, Riser!"
The blonde man merely laughed at her declaration. Issei was slowly getting angry at him for doing that, for he could see that it was getting his [King] angry.
"You and I both know that there's no way this marriage will be denied, my dear Rias. After all, our family lines are growing thin and a merging of the Houses will be a great turning point for the future of us devils." Riser stated back in a smug tone like there was nothing that she could do.
"I still refuse! I'll beat you in a Rating Game and free myself from this pact between our Houses!" Rias declared firmly with conviction, after all, if her favorite hero could face the odds and succeed, then she might be able to do so as well.
Not only that, but she has found several times in the real world when someone with the right amount of determination and faith faced odds that were stacked against them being able to reach their goals as well. She refused for her sake as well her Peerage's sake to become this bastard's bride, for she knew that she would become property instead of a wife to him.
"And how do you plan to do that with so few Pieces? Do you think a solution will just appear out of thin air?" Riser arrogantly stated in a smug tone not realizing that he just tempted fate as he laughed at her.
Rias was about to retort before she and everyone else, save for Issei and Asia tensed. A sudden feeling of immense energy output was felt and the space around the center of the room began to twist and swirl. From the distortion, the devils all took hold of the sight of a young blonde man that looked about the same age as Rias and her peerage members stumbling out and falling to his knees as the distortion vanished.
Rias blinked at the sight as Grayfia narrowed her eyes in case he was a threat. However, when the man coughed up blood and held his stomach with a bandage-wrapped arm, it was clear that he was not. Asia was the first person to act. She rushed to his side and summoned forth her Twilight Healing, covering the man in a bright green glow.
"Urrgh." He groaned as the pain slowly receded along with the light.
When it was gone completely, he took in a deep breath of air before smiling at the nun-turned-devil. The whole time Rias just looked at him with a sheer look of disbelief on her face.
'Menma? Not possible, how?' Rias asked herself as she continued to look at the new arrival.
"Thanks for that, nee-chan." He said, making Asia blush in embarrassment at the title.
"N-No! It was no problem at all, really!" She replied, waving her hands frantically.
He chuckled at her flustered face, she reminded him of Hinata a little on how she acted before. Standing up, he regarded everyone in the room with a critical eye, impressing Grayfia at how he was ready to for battle which caused her to be ready to act in a moment's notice.
"Can someone tell me where I am, please?" He asked politely as he took a deep breath to remain calm although he was inwardly pissed at himself and at Sasuke.
"Some bastard sent me here with that dam eye of his, and I'd like to see if I can get back home." 'To beat the emo out of him.' Naruto stated and thought as he mentally planned to deal with Sasuke once he did return home.
He could tell how things in the room looked, there was a good chance that he was not in the Elemental Nations. Base on the sensing abilities, he had a strange feeling that Sasuke sent him into a different dimension altogether, for the people here has some type of energy, but not chakra, well the little girl seems to have it.
"I believe it would be more prudent to know who you are first." Suggested a female voice as Naruto noticed that it was the maid as she stepped forward and stood between him a red hair female.
"Me? Ho, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, Ninja and future Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village." Naruto replied with much excitement.
That statement right there did it. It was at that moment that all doubt vanished in Rias' mind as her eyes widen in shock at his answer and looked into his bright blue eyes. Rias could not believe it, but at the same time noted that instead of the name Menma, he stated that his name was Naruto, which was his alternate name in the other world in the Road to Ninja movie. However, they both are still names that are part of ramen, both look the same, both have the same fire of determination in their eyes, both have the same dream and come from the same village. No, this was not possible, but on the chance that it was….
"Did this man use a red rippled eye that had tomoe around the rings?" Rias asked as she moved out from behind Grayfia much to her protest to get a better look at him.
Naruto looked at her and was then his eyes were drawn to her red hair. He quickly got ahold to himself even though he found her very beautiful. He might have inherited something more than his looks from his father after all.
"Yeah!. That was Sasuke." Naruto answered as the others look lost and Akeno looks baffled, for that name struck cord like she heard it before and seeing Rias actions seem to confirm that she should, after all, she knew her for a long time.
"So, do you know where I am and how I can get home, Red-chan?" Naruto asked as he looked into her eyes and smiled.
Rias was silent and in shock, not hearing his question while her mind ran at full speed. This was not expecting, but somehow her wish was granted in a way that she never thought possible.
'It shouldn't be possible! He was just a character, and his name was Menma! Naruto was the alternate. This guy can't be him…but can he?' She thought as her mind concluded that it was possible and this was perfect.
Then at that moment, a smirk appeared on her face which Riser did not see as thoughts continued to run through her mind. This was too perfect to be real, but she knew that it was and not a dream.
'Yes Riser, a solution might not come out of nowhere, but if he did; he will kick your ass if I can get him to help and the fact that I know that he's real just given me the hope I need to know that I will win the game and win my freedom' Rias thought as the smirk turned into a full-blown smile, one that has been missing for the past month on her face.
It was right there and then that the hope of freedom that was so small bloomed. The fire in her soul that had slowly started to burn out since earlier this month suddenly exploded into a raging firestorm. He was real, it was impossible, but he was standing right before her. The hero that she always wanted and wish that was real since she started to read the manga was standing right before her at the very moment.
"Uh, Red-chan?" Naruto asked in concern as he looked at her as she was staring at him wide-eyed, "Are you okay?"
Grayfia noticed then and there that Rias knows this person somehow. She then began to wonder how Rias know this guy. She was not sure, but she had the feeling that Rias just gotten very lucky. She did not like Riser at all along with her husband, Rias' brother.
The odds were against her sister-in-law, but for some odd reason the universe decided to give Rias a helping hand and she was not sure, but she had the feeling that the devil world is about to be tilted onto its side. At least she can now relax knowing that this Naruto was not a threat to Rias, Riser she was not so sure.
"Hey!" Interrupted Riser before Rias could answer, making Naruto turn to him and pay attention to him.
"No one knows where your pathetic village is!" Only Rias and Grayfia saw Naruto's finger twitch at this, "Now why don't you just leave, Trash? This meeting doesn't concern you."
"Now, that's just rude." Commented Naruto with a pout, fingers twitching again, "I never did anything to you and you're already mad at me. Geez…"
Only Grayfia and Rias caught the sarcastic but angry tone in his voice. They could tell that Riser might have stepped on a landmine. Rias smirk and Grayfia wished that she could see Riser get his butt handed to him, for its clear that he could not see that this young man was a warrior, a trained deadly one at that. She could also tell that he wore a mask that hides his deadly side.
"You interrupted this meeting and you're speaking to my fiancé so freely!" Argued Riser as it was clear that he was starting to get pissed at this point.
"Your fiancé? You mean Red-chan?" Naruto replied as he mentally noted how the beautiful black haired woman in the room giggle behind her sleeve and Rias regained her composer and had a smile on her face, something that made his heart fluttered some.
"Yes! Now stop calling her that!" Riser demanded as Naruto just looked at him impassively as he hummed out loud thoughtfully before turning back to Rias.
"You don't mind me calling you that, do ya?" Naruto asked with mirth in his eyes that showed Rias that he was pushing Riser's buttons.
Rias turned to Riser, she saw how he was fuming before a smirk came to her face. This was gold, she is getting to be part of Naruto Trolling Riser, she will always remember this day and she could see that Akeno caught on as well as a smirk appeared on her face.
"Not at all, Naruto-Kun." She answered, relishing in Riser's growing anger and then added, "But, you should know that he's not my fiancé. He actually a pompous fool who I'm in an arraigned marriage with."
'That fucking bitch, I will break her of free will to my liking and then whore her out once I am finished having fun with her.'Riser thought in anger while seething inside.
"Ouch." Commented Naruto with a chuckle as he was having a feeling that this guy was like the many others that he had seen and faced, "Definitely could do better than him. I mean, with that overgrown stick so far up his ass, I wouldn't be surprised if he played for the other team."
The tension that was in the air before his arrival just vanished. Rias' Peerage, save for the ever stoic Koneko, emotionless Grayfia, and innocent Asia, snickered at his comment. The whole time, Riser was so angry that he demonic power was leaking out and heating up the room.
Riser's peerage members just look at him wide-eyed, not sure what to think about this new arrival. Grayfia stopped him with a sharp look before she cleared her throat, catching Naruto's attention.
"Uzumaki-san, unfortunately, I have never heard of a Hidden Leaf Village before. However, I believe that my [King] should be able to help you. If you would come with me after this meeting, I'll take you to see him." She stated even though there was mirth hidden in her eyes.
In response, Naruto looked at her and grinned. This action was seen by Riser's Peerage as they all blushed.
"Thanks a bunch, nee-sama." Naruto replied in a soft and happy tone in his voice.
"My name is Grayfia Lucifuge, Uzumaki-san." She replied back as she gave Rias a look that said that there is a good chance he will be back afterward she smiled in return.
"Right, Grayfia-nee!" He answered back, never losing his grin.
The woman merely rolled her eyes but said nothing. The young man before her acted too much like her husband when nothing serious was going on, but it was a nice change of pace at the same time. Not only that, but she could tell that her [King] will find a way to use Naruto to help Rias, for this boy oozing with power and his body hinted that he was well trained.
"Well then, please wait outside for a moment, Uzumaki-san. This meeting is almost finished." Grayfia stated to Naruto as he nodded his head.
"Sure thing!" He then turned to Rias and gave her a two-fingered salute.
"Well, I'll see you around, Red-chan. Good luck with the lonely nights, All that guy needs is his anal stick." He stated as he walked as heard the others snickering at his remark as he felt Riser's killer intent toward him.
"I will just go outside of the main door to get some fresh air." Naruto stated as Grayfia nodded her head.
Naruto then made his way outside of the clubroom and ignored the look of pure hatred Riser was sending his way. When he reached the door, he turned and looked at Riser and smirked. This added more fury to Riser as he glared at Naruto as he walked out of the room.
It only took him a few moments to find his way outside of the building. Once he was there, he sat down and began to meditate. He noticed several things, there was only one source of chakra around him and that was back in the room where everyone else was at. That disturbed him, for it was his understanding that everyone has chakra, or they will not survive.
There was something else that he discovered, everyone one in the room and a few others around him have some kind of energy that he could not define about them. The only that it confirmed to him was that this energy was not human. It was a little dark in the feeling, but it was not entirely evil. He wondered about that. He decided to stop for now and got comfortable.
Leaning against the wall outside, he took note of a few people walking around in matching clothes. He deduced that they were in uniforms of some kind and that Red-chan and her group were stationed here.
"The meeting is over now, Uzumaki-san. I will be taking you to my [King] now." Grayfia stated right after she stepped out and turned to him after some time.
"So, what exactly are you all?" asked Naruto as he looked at her.
"I mean, you're not human are you?" He added as she nodded in understanding at what he was asking while smirking inside, yes this young man was indeed something else.
"You're correct. However, I believe my [King] would be able to explain things better than I. He'll tell you all about it while you two talk." She replied back to him while looking him in the eyes.
"Right." Nodded Naruto as he replied, "I'll just ask him then."
"Also," added the woman as she gave him a stern look, "You must understand that it isn't normal for humans to be brought to our world unless we're making them one of our kind. However, your…unique energy will make this an exception. But, if you try anything-"
"Hey, believe me!" Interrupted Naruto as he raised his hands in a placating manner. "I won't try anything; promise! You guys can help me try to get back home, right?"
Grayfia looked at him and nodded in response. She knew this was the case, but she had to make sure that he understood.
"Then I won't do anything that could ruin my chances. Besides, I just got finished fighting a war, I do not need to get into another one." Naruto remarked as Grayfia stared at him.
'He fought a war…he is so young and already know the horrors of war, just where did he come from?' Grayfia asked herself as she kept her composer.
"Good. Now, please stand next to me." Once he did, she opens up the portal, hiding their presence from the students around the school, and transported the two of them to the underworld.
Before they fully disappeared, Naruto turned to the window of the clubroom and caught sight of Rias and one of the members of her Peerage one last time. He grinned at them just as he vanished, missing Rias smile at him.
"Ara, Buchou." Giggled Akeno, "You seem to be quite smitten with Uzumaki-Kun."
"You're looking too far into things again, Akeno," Commented the red-haired devil. "He's just very charismatic for a human."
"Too carefree." Commented Koneko as she took a bite out of some candy. "Not serious enough. Also very dangerous, for he had chakra."
This caused Rias to nod in response. However, Akeno just stood there with a blank look on her face. She could tell Naruto was a human, but Koneko just stated that he had chakra, how in Lucifer's name is that possible. Then a smirk appeared on her face, he was not that bad looking.
"I think he was actually very serious. He seems like the type to have others underestimate them and find out his real strength too it's too late." Kiba stated as he gave the white-haired girl a smile.
"Not only that, but I noticed that he was ready to fight if need be the whole time that he was here. I also noticed that Riser's Killer Intent was not affecting him at all as well the heat which shows that even though he was acting like a fool or being relaxed, he was reading to deal with any trouble that might pop up." Kiba added as he thought about what he noticed about the person that was here a few moments ago.
"But just how strong is he?" asked Issei, crossing his arms. "He just seemed like a goofball."
Rias bit her bottom lip, an idea coming to her that seemed too crazy to go through with. She was not sure how everyone was going to take what she was about to say but decided to do it anyway.
"I…think I could answer that. But," She gave them all a serious look, even Akeno, "I need you all to have an open mind about this. What I'll be suggesting will sound crazy; even by devil standards. So, I want your word that you won't judge me based on my theory."
"Rias, you already know the answer to that," Akeno stated, using her friend's name to show that she was serious.
Koneko and Kiba nodded alongside her, showing the Gremory heiress their support. They were with her for a while and owe her a lot.
"You showed me enough craziness already," Commented Issei with a small chuckle. "I think I can handle some more."
"I would never judge you, Buchou," Asia promised with a smile which Rias returned.
"Thank you. Now, follow me. After we are done we will pack up and head somewhere to train." She said as she looked at them and began to lead them to her collection room.
Realm: Underworld – JUUAIRP [11]
Location: Lucifer's personal castle, main hallway.
Meanwhile, Naruto and Grayfia appeared out of the red light into what appears to be an old English castle. Naruto was taking a good look around while surveying the area for threats and dangers just in case. He does want a way home and knew that she was not lying about her [King] might find a way to send him back home, but as a ninja, he must remain on alert for them being a threat or a threat that they may not know about.
"I have to say, whatever these things definitely have high tastes," commented Kurama as he looked through Naruto's eyes. "An actual castle for a home seems a bit much though."
'I think this lady's [King] is pretty high up in this place's political food chain.' Naruto thought back.
"…Naruto, you should know that I can barely sense anyone that has chakra to use." Kurama stated in Naruto's mind.
'I know…' Naruto replied back.
"There's a chance that you-" Kurama was saying as Naruto did not want to hear it.
'Kurama,' interrupted Naruto as he followed Grayfia through the halls of the Gremory Estate.
'I know…but I can't give up on there is a chance. I just can't…' Naruto replied back in a sad tone with a hint of hope.
The fox was silent after that, knowing that his friend needed a moment to himself. He knew better than anyone that Naruto was never one to give up, no matter the stakes or obstacles. It was what made the Biju choose to believe in him. So, he would do what he could to help support the person that he called his friend.
Grayfia stopped outside of a room and turned back to Naruto. She gave him a stern look on her face.
"In here is where you will talk to my [King]. I must reiterate that you are a guest here that could be a potential enemy to us." She stated as Naruto just looked her right into her eyes.
"I know that," replied Naruto. "And I promised to not cause trouble. Now, can we please go in so that I can speak to him?"
The woman looked him dead in the eye for a few moments before she nodded and opened the double doors, presenting a redheaded man in regal attire sitting behind a desk and going over paperwork.
The man looked young and has an appearance of a man in his early 20's with shoulder length crimson red hair and blue-green eyes, similar to Rias. Naruto immediately saw the relation between the man and Rias and assumed that the man was either her father or her brother.
"Sirzechs-Sama," started Grayfia with a formal bow, "I have brought the man I messaged you about."
The man stopped his writing and looked up. He has a nice large smile on his face as he looked at the maid and did a quick calculating glance at Naruto.
"Grayfia-chan, you don't need to be so formal, you know. You're not just my maid, after all." He replied as he looked at Grayfia with a pout on his face.
Naruto had to bite back a chuckle as he saw the woman's brow twitch at the man's laidback attitude. This was someone that he could get to know if he had the time, for he was not like the many other rulers or politicians that he had dealt with in the past. Still, though, there was a reason why he was here. Naruto cleared his throat and stepped forward.
"Sirzechs-san, my name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm from a place known as the Hidden Leaf Village or Konohagakure which resides in the Land of Fire or the Elemental Nations. I was hoping you could tell me how to get back there since I was sent away by someone who I once considered a friend and brother." Naruto stated in a firm tone while keeping his body in attention as he did a low bow while keeping his eyes up.
"I'm…not sure I can help you, Naruto-san. You see, I've heard and been to hundreds of different places, and I don't recall anything about a Hidden Leaf Village or these Elemental Nations." The man stated as he cupped his chin in thought, after going over all the place that he knew.
"Are you sure that these places you've mentioned exist?" He asked as he gave the blonde a concerned look.
"Of course, they exist, dammit!" yelled Naruto, glaring at the man heatedly, "Those places are my home and I've already had one asshole insult it within five minutes of me arriving here!"
"I meant no offense," Placated Sirzechs as he raised his hands up. "I'm just unsure how I can help you when I've never heard of such places. But I must ask, how can a human such as yourself have such vast stores of chakra within them?"
"All people in the Elemental Nations use chakra. It's not just energy to us; it's a life force." Naruto answered as he calmed down and relaxed some.
"I see…then this makes what I'm about to say even more difficult." He sighed before looking Naruto in the eye, declaring, "No such places exist in our world or in the human one. A whole nation full of chakra users would have been found easily by us or others, and the location wouldn't be unknown."
The blonde grit his teeth and clenched his eyes tightly, tightening his shaking fist to rein in his anger. He was pissed to be stabbed in the back by the one person that he called brother and friend. Someone that he spent a lot to time to pull from the darkness, but yet he does this to him.
"Dammit… I was hoping you wouldn't say that." he stated before he started to murmur to himself as he began to relax in order to make sure that he does not send the wrong signals to his host.
"If that's true, then Sasuke's Kamui must have been more potent than Obito's… There's no way I can get home." He stated in a low enough voice that no one heard him or so he thought.
'Kamui?' Grayfia and Sirzechs asked in their minds as kept it to themselves.
'Why does that seem so familiar?' Sirzechs asked himself as he thought that he heard of that word from somewhere before.
"I'm sorry, Naruto…" Kurama stated in a sad tone.
'Don't be, Kurama. I knew that this could've been a possibility. But seriously; a different world entirely? That's just not right! Fucking Rinnegan and its cheap power boost…' He mentally grumbled.
"Naruto-San." Sirzechs said, getting the blonde's attention.
"Your home may not exist here, but we are able to travel between our world and the human one connected to us at will. If we were to put more effort into figuring out the links between worlds, it could be possible for us to help you." Sirzechs stated as Naruto looked at him then sighed, at least there is a chance.
"What are you guys anyway?" asked Naruto, cutting him off before he could continue. "You admit you're not human, and I can tell by the energy you give off."
"That's true. In fact, our energy is seen as much darker than most; especially those who are religious. You see, we are devils." Sirzechs replied in a steady tone seeing that it should not hurt to give the young man some information, after all, he was not from any of the other factions or this world at all.
'Not only that, but I might be able to use that to help Rias if he agrees.' Sirzechs thought as he looked at Naruto and thought about what Grayfia told him.
"Devils?" Naruto asked with a raised brow before taking a seat in the chair Grayfia offered him. Nodding to her in thanks, he continued, "So what is this hell or something? Because if it is, then it's not as bad as I thought it'd be."
The man chuckled and sat down at his desk. He was not sure, but he felt that he and Naruto could get along with each other.
"Yes, this is the underworld or hell. I hope you're comfortable because this explanation will take a while." He stated as Naruto looked at him and then smiled.
"Well, get a few bowls of ramen in here, then I will be fine. For it looks like I won't be going anywhere soon." Naruto stated in a sad smile as Sirzechs chuckled and then nodded to Grayfia who walked out to do just that.
After twenty bowls of ramen and a few hours later, Sirzechs finally finished telling Naruto about the devils, angels, and fallen angels (fallen for short). He told Naruto how God existed and how the devils have Four Great Satans instead of just one in religion. Then he went on to explain items known as Sacred Gears and finally the Evil Piece System; which explained why Grayfia referred to him as her [King].
Naruto, in turn, told him about his world and how things are there. Naruto only covered the basics for he did not want to tell too much and there were things that he did not understand enough to explain anyway. Also, he did not want to give any military secrets at all, which Sirzechs seems to understand.
"Alright, I understand what you've told me," Began Naruto as he took a drink of the water Grayfia gave him, "But I have another question. If you're supposedly the strongest devil both politically and physically, then why can't you stop this arranged marriage that your relative seems to hate so much?"
"You mean my sister Rias-tan?" He asked in slight surprise, "When did you meet her?"
"When he arrived." Explained Grayfia, "It was during the meeting between her and Riser-Sama. Rias-Sama seemed to know about Uzumaki-san some. As a matter of fact, it was Riser that insulted his home that Uzumaki commented about."
"Is that so?" The man then cupped his chin and leaned back in his chair. "To answer your question, Naruto-san, I can't help because a leader cannot pick favorites; even from their own kin. I can't interfere in this because of that; not to mention how it's meant to save both our Houses from dying out."
"Still…if I were in your position, I'd say to screw politics and help my family. The policy isn't eternal, but family is damn near close to it." commented Naruto, making Sirzechs smile for he liked this person that came to him very much and felt that they could get along very well.
"True. However, I never said I wasn't going to help her. The politics in play just make me have to be…sneaky about it. You told me you were a ninja, right?" Sirzechs replied and asked as he looked at Naruto who nodded.
"Like a ninja, you accept jobs for payment if I recall what you told me, right?" He asked as Naruto nodded again.
"Well, how would you like to help me out and for payment I make sure that you have all that you need to live until we find a way to send you home?" Sirzechs stated as Naruto saw the gleam in the man's eyes and couldn't help the grin that formed on his face.
'OOO, this is going to be good.' Kurama stated as Naruto mentally nodded his head in agreement.
"What did you have in mind?" Naruto replied back as he was getting the feeling that he and Sirzechs were about to do something that was worthy of a prank master.
Grayfia who noticed the look in their eyes just stood there. However inside she was smiling at what was taking place.
'I never thought that Issei would be able to assist enough, Naruto though I think will. Should I feel sorry for Riser? Na, that pompous chicken has it coming." Grayfia was internally thinking.
Realm: Earth
Location: Vatican City, Rome. Just a few miles from the main church
While this was going on, a pair of gray eyes slowly opened and a short girl took the sight of the Vatican City of Rome. She was dressed in an outfit that was fit for Gothic Lolita girls, but hers left her torso bare save for two black, X-shaped covers over her nipples. The girl looked down from her perch atop the main church while a black cat rested on her shoulder.
"Kuroka," Spoke the girl calmly as the cat raised her head, "I have a job for you."
The cat jumped off of the girl and landed on the roof behind her before she transformed into a more humanoid figure. She was a young woman with a voluptuous figure, that had an apple or triangle downward form to it.
Her attire consists of a black kimono, a yellow obi along with a set of gold beads. She was also wearing an ornately detailed headband. The kimono features a red interior and its open at her shoulders, given view to her enormously large breast which is much bigger than Rias and Akeno in terms of size.
Even though her current form was very much like that of a human, she was actually in her Nekomata form. In this form, she has a pair of black cat ears and two black tails as well.
"Nya~," She moaned as she stretched her arms over her head. "What do you need, Ophis-Sama?"
"Earlier, someone with a tremendous level of chakra appeared in Japan. They then disappeared with one of the higher leveled devils to what I can assume to be the underworld." Turning to the Nekomata, the gothic girl continued, "I want you to head over to Japan, more precisely Kuoh City and observe the person. Sway them to my cause in any way you can."
"Sure thing, nya!" Replied Kuroka before she opened her own portal and prepared to leave, but before she did turn back to her boss and asked, "Can I check on my little Shirone-chan too, right?"
"So long as you focus on the task I've given you, I see no problem with that." Ophis answered even though she didn't look at her for she was in deep thought.
"Thanks, boss, nya!" She then left Rome, heading over to Kuoh in Japan.
"Why did that person's soul feels like I know him?' Ophis asked herself as she recalled a time before she became the dragon that she currently is.
Realm: Underworld
Location: Lilith City, Phenex Territory and main manor of Estates
Right now, there was a meeting taking place on the front lawn of the Phenex estates. Attending this meeting was Riser Phenex, Sirzechs Lucifer, Grayfia, and Naruto Uzumaki standing there. Sirzechs had just informed Riser about what he like to change in the match as Naruto just stood there with his hands behind his back being quite while listening to what was being said while holding the urge to beat the life out of him.
"You honestly expect me to allow that trash to take part in the Rating Game? He's a human, and a common fool at that!" Argued Riser as he stood before Sirzechs, Grayfia, and Naruto.
Naruto was doing everything he could to keep his calm. He was reminding himself of the whole plan that he and Sirzechs had come up with. Grayfia just could not wait to get away from Riser and then for the game for she knew that Riser is about to be educated. After all, Riser reminds her of what she and Sirzechs fought against during the civil war all those years ago.
As for Riser, well when he was first summoned, he thought there was a chance that this farce of a game that he would be facing Rias was called off. That was good, for he had plans for Rias and the female Peerage members' bodies, such lustful fun he had planned out once they were married.
"True, he is human. However, this." The redheaded Satan held up a strange chess piece to let Riser get a good look at it.
"Will allow Naruto-san to temporarily become a [Pawn] for a devil's Peerage and take part in a Rating Game." The man smiled at the blonde devil before him.
"You know, Ajuka Beelzebub has created this piece to make the ratting game more interesting. He has chosen the game between you and Rias as a test and unveiling of it, which you should be honored to be opponent and part of in this test." Sirzechs stated as he looked at Riser to see if he could bait him some more, even though there was truth to that statement.
'I was the one that chose to use this game to test it as well to help out Rias-tan.' He thought as he continues to look at Riser to see how he can make sure that Riser takes the bait.
"I am, really am." Riser replied to be sure that he did not get on the bad side of the four rulers of the underworld.
"Are you saying that one more person fighting you will be that big of an issue?" He asked in hopes that he baited Riser enough both his ego and pride to get him to take the bait.
"I'm not saying that at all, Lucifer-Sama!" Riser scowled at the jab at his pride while his ego flared up thinking that Ajuka had given him such honor.
"Very well, but I want another stake to be added to this game." He stated as he turned to Naruto, who was smirking at him and glared.
"Go on…" Sirzechs said wondering what he about to ask for.
"When I win, this fool will forever serve me without question." The Phenex declared as he pointed at Naruto.
"Are you making a bet with me Riser?" Naruto asked with a smile while his eyes shined with mischief which Sirzechs and Grayfia caught.
"You can say that, are you scared?" Riser replied with a smug tone in his voice.
"He just screwed up, he just bet against you." Kurama stated as Naruto mentally nodded.
"I'm fine with that." Agreed Naruto. "And if you lose?"
"I won't." stated the other blonde firmly.
"Let's just say that you do," Continued Naruto. "What happens then? A bet is not a bet unless both parties put something up to lose. After all, you are asking me to put my freedom up and become a slave."
Sirzechs and Grayfia watched on silently, though the redhead held back his own smirk at how well his plan was going. Grayfia had a feeling that even if there was a chance that he would win, he just tossed it out of the window when he made the bet. Riser then snapped his fingers and a woman appeared from the Phenex family portal.
She was a busty woman with long, wavy purple hair that fell all the way down her back and matching eyes. At the front, the right side of her hair fell over her breast and covered her right eye, while the left side falls near the top of her skirt. Her attire was a dress consisting of a navy blue tunic top with gold accents, a pale blue skirt with open sides, and black shoes over matching thigh-high stockings with garter belts. The top revealed much of her cleavage and was held with a gold choker with blue and red jewels. Over this, she wore a white overcoat with black and gold accents and matching pauldrons. For accessories, she wore a black headband with a red-orange jewel over her forehead to keep her long hair in place and wielded a staff-like scepter in battle. For cosmetics, she wears purple lipstick, matching her eyes and hair.
"If I lose – which, again, won't happen – I'll offer up my [Queen], Yubelluna." Stated Riser, shocking the woman at his statement.
"R-Riser-Sama!" She cried out in protest, but she then shrunk back when the Phoenix turned to her with a heated look as then bowing her head, she stepped back behind her [King].
"You really are a bastard, aren't you?" Asked Naruto angrily, making Yubelluna look up from behind the Phenex.
"There goes the third strike. Take him down hard Naruto for he is worse than Danzo when it comes to people."Kurama stated as Naruto grinned mentally at what was said.
It was only then that she realized that the blonde man from before was challenging her [King]. There was something in his eyes that made her look deep into them. She felt warm while looking at them.
"How could you just offer up your [Queen] like that?" Naruto stated in a tone that seemed neutral, but at the same time, there was a hidden killing intent in it that promised lots of pain, for people like this pissed him off the most.
"She is my Piece to do with as I please. Now, do you accept or not, trash?" Riser replied as Naruto frowned at the other blonde before nodding slowly.
'Your right about him being like Danzo or worse Kurama.' Naruto thought as he looked at Riser.
"You should treat those that serve you better Riser. For from what I get your peerage is supposed to support you, but for them to be strong you must treat them right, but I see you have no idea on how to do that." Naruto stated in a firm voice as he looked Riser right in the eyes.
"Fine, I accept. Besides, you just gave me another reason to kick your ass." Naruto stated as he glared at Riser.
"Oh?" Riser replied back with a smug tone.
"Yeah… for insulting my home, for starters, as well as wanting to get Red-chan out of this arranged marriage and I'm also going to free an innocent [Queen] from the asshole she calls her [King]! You can count on it!" Naruto stated in a firm tone with conviction which shocked Grayfia as Sirzechs.
'He was not just a soldier, he was also a leader.' The both thought at the same time.
Yubelluna looked to the Uzumaki in surprise at his conviction before a small smile crossed her face. Riser scoffed at the declaration before turning to Sirzechs.
"I'll let him fight for Rias. It'll be a privilege to roast him alive on the battlefield as well educate the trash about talking to his betters when he should be on the ground kissing their feet." Riser stated as Naruto continued to glare at him.
"Excellent!" Replied Sirzechs with a smile, "Does this also cover the extra week so he could learn about the Rating Game system as well?"
"Yes, it does, for I want to excuses. Tell you what, give them four weeks. A total of 28 days." Riser stated not thinking that it would matter.
'He just screwed up.' Thought Grayfia, Sirzechs, and Naruto at the same time.
"Well, I'll see you in four weeks, Riser-san. Come along, Naruto-san. I need to take you back to Rias-tan so that you can train with her Peerage." Sirzechs stated as he hid the smirk that was wanting to form on his face.
"Right." Answered the whiskered blonde before he left with Sirzechs and Grayfia, giving Yubelluna one last smile.
"See you then Yubelluna-Chan." Naruto replied as they disappeared.
Riser scoffed again and headed back inside his family's estate, leaving the [Queen] outside staring at where the strange blonde man once stood. The smile from before reformed on her face and she thought to herself.
'I should not think this, but I hope you win.' Yubelluna thought as smiled and turned around.
She then headed inside with a small spring in her step. Four weeks would be over in the blink of an eye, and she wanted to be ready for the Rating Game that was coming. She wanted to show him that she was worthy of his kindness while at the same time hope that her [King] lost so she will be able to claim him as her new master. After all, it was not every day someone like this Naruto appeared in the world.
Only if she knew how true that statement was…
Unknown Location
"It is done." Present stated as she looked at the string that was in her hands.
"I foresee that everything will go on this new path, however, new threats will pop up as well due to our interference." Stated Future as her sisters looked at her.
"Will he be able to handle them?" Asked Past as she began to worry.
"With the actions of Shion and Her finding him, yes he will be able to deal with them. This world will continue on and be very interesting." Stated Future.
"Good, now we have other worlds to look into since we are no longer needed in our main one." Past stated they nodded.
Footnotes:
[1. This is my numbering system in effect here. I decided that this world will diverge from the day after she almost gave her virginity to Issei, for it is where things will change for all characters and the story.]
[2. In this world, there was no interest in Issei, only to break her contract with Riser. To her Issei is perverted for her.]
[3. I figured that she would have her special room containing her collection set up to be accessible from anywhere as well there is a lock for her key to use. Such rooms exist in canon, think of the room that Inari had so she could screw Issei.]
[4. Rias strikes me as the type of person that will buy copies of everything in order to keep signed ones as rare copies in tip-top condition to retain the value]
[5. Here in this world, the world of Naruto is a manga like it's in our world. However, instead of being Naruto its Menma and the title is The Hurricane Chronicles. I did not create this, it's a product of Pain17ification since this was his story at first.]
[6. I am sure that we each had one comic, movie, anime character that we wish was real and become our love life.]
[7. Hey, I decided that she reads Naruto Fanfiction like the rest of us Naruto fans.]
[8. This is the name of the world that Naruto lives in. I have gotten from a mod for Skyrim that give the Naruto eyes with a race known as Ashen. The number is the same reason for it is in the same grouping as Rias' world.]
[9. I figured that I add some more to this. It was needed to explain why it was so much different to him.]
[10. Before anyone starts bitching at me about this, it is canon that Sasuke had this ability. After some more research and assistance from , I realize that this is wrong. However, Pain17ifaction had this set up in his version and I know that Sasuke does not know the Space–Time Dojutsu right after the war. I will say that its unstable since it's his first time using it, which sent Naruto to High School DXD world instead of one of six realms of Kaguya. In Narutopedia but is name as Sasuke Uchiha's Space-Time Dojutsu, so in a way it's an un-name technique from the movie Baruto: Naruto the movie.]
[11. Same as for the Underworld as for Rias' world. The same as the number after as it is for Naruto world. That way I see it though, The Underworld, worlds that the other pantheons use as well Heaven are linked to Earth or the mortal plane as Riser called as Naruto's world is not, but in the same section of the void with many others.]

Gasper will be male. The final vote came in with poll and PMs. Here is the tally.
What should be Gasper's fate? PV=Pole Vote, T= Total
Gasper Female, but allow Tomoe Meguri be with her [PM=3, PV=38, T=42]
Gasper Male and he keeps Tomoe Meguri [PM=20, PV=18, T=48]
Gasper Female, Give Tomoe Meguri to someone else. [PM=5, PV=11, T=16]
Gasper male, but still give Tomoe Meguri to someone else [PM=0. PV=5, T=5]
So due to the results of the poll, the pairing will be:
Gasper Vlad X Tomoe Meguri (It is canon that she likes Gasper, for she likes younger males that are cute and he fits the bill.)
I might be flexible for additional names, but please state your reasons. The only time I will not accept if pain17ification pm me and request or any plans that he might have found before he dropped the story. Also, I might add some OCs based on characters from other animes and shows that I liked, but time will tell, for I am only doing since the original author opened the door for it in later chapters that they had written.
Author's note:
Well, this chapter was modified since the last post. I hope you enjoyed the rewrite. I added the Fates for I thought that they will fit in well be the ones to save Naruto. This chapter will be last and the first time they appear. Also, note that the excabiler arc will be much different for Naruto's appearance will alter many things, but in some ways, things will remain the same.
Please note that I do have permission from pain17ification to do this story after I inherited it, so do not go bitching to moderators of that I stole some else's work.
Now let me state this, Naruto's chakra forms will be separated into four stages. There will be the fifth stage, but it will not be until after a few chapters.
Chakra Mode = This will be a normal appearance as he accesses the chakra of Kurama.
Ascended Mode or Sage Mode = Self-explanatory
Biju Mode = when he takes the form of Kurama
Six Paths Sage Mode = This is still possible due to fact that he still has the chakra.
Now, Rias and Akeno are forming bonds to our favorite blond-haired ninja. Will Koneko face her heritage and will Akeno tell Naruto about her past and heritage? How will Naruto Handle Issei and Asia? Find out in the next chapter. Good day. Yubelluna is also forming a bond to our favorite blond as well.
