Chapter 1: New Life
Issei Hyoudou, former oppai loving bastard was suddenly jolted awake. He checked his body to see if it was still intact. Seeing that he was in one piece he sighed in relief. Just as he was about to get up from the bed, unknown memories started to flood in. After comprehending what the hell just happened to him.
"Fuck! Not another reincarnation!" He could only shout out his frustration.
His reaction was perfectly normal since this was his second reincarnation. His first reincarnation was Naruto Uzumaki, the child of prophecy, the container of the nine-tailed fox.
He was excited at the beginning at the prospect of living the life of his favourite anime character but then the asshole named reality hit him like a truck. Fighting against god like beings was not actually fun; in fact, he nearly died many times due to heart attack and now that he was reincarnated again as Issei Hyoudou, he will literally have to fight against godly nemesis.
Currently he was contemplating how he got in this situation. Last thing he checked, he was fighting against the primordial goddess Kaguya which was… awkward since she somehow fell in love him? If the yandere behaviour was anything to go by then it was definitely love yet it was too corrupted.
What?! He had just complemented her that she was a beautiful woman but that just made her crazy. His flirting skill truly was too great with Ero-senin (Jiraya) as his teacher. Anyway, last thing he knew before sealing the crazy goddess, she started screaming that if she can't have him for herself then no one could, and his body was torn apart in a violent manner tearing his soul into the deadly black hole.
Yup! That's what had happened and now he was Issei Hyoudou. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just wanted a peaceful life since he had enough of those life-threatening situations. What's worse was that he was already a devil now. He had just reincarnated into Issei as he was killed by. The fallen angel Raynare.
"Why am I so unlucky? What did I do to deserve this?"
He released a large sigh to ease his depression. "Well I guess there's nothing I can do about it. Denial is never a good thing anyway. It's not like I was really attached with the elemental nations."
He thought about his life when he was Naruto Uzumaki. He denied with every fibre of his being that he wasn't Naruto but after facing his other half in the waterfall of truth, he realized that he was Naruto at the same time he was his original persona as well. He would never forget the lesson he learned. One must learn to accept everything about himself whether it was good or bad.
Now he was Issei Hyoudou and like it or not, his goal in his life was perverted. Harem King… that was his goal in his life. He won't deny that goal or try to run away from it but in order to achieve his goal he needed to get strong. Right now, he was pitifully weak and that was his current predicament.
He sat down cross legged in meditative position in order to unlock his chakra if it was even possible. After ten minutes he finally felt a warm sensation from his chest flowing throughout his whole body, it was extremely pleasant.
"YES! I UNLOCKED CHAKRA!" He started doing the kabuki dance that he and Jiraya had done during their times together. As he was dancing around with only his boxer, it was quite a funny scene which was currently being watched by his dumbfounded parents.
"Ahem! Issei if you are done with whatever you were doing, you should get ready for school or else you are going to be late."
Issei slowly turned to watch his parents in horror as they had seen his funny dancing moves. Damn it was so embarrassing since it was supposed to be two-man gig.
"Um… yeah I will be getting ready now." He awkwardly said. He quickly dressed in his school uniform and came down for breakfast.
"So Issei is there anything happening lately?" His father asked his eyes still on the newspaper he was reading.
"Well… I have decided to change my perverted behaviour as it feels very degrading. So yeah I think that might be something." Suddenly the atmosphere grew stiff.
"What?!" Issei broke the stiff atmosphere.
"Are you serious, Issei? You are not joking right? So, you decided to quit being a pervert?" His mother asked with some hope.
"It's not that I quit being a pervert. I just realized that my dream to become a harem king might be impossible if I act like the way I did. So, I am just changing my attitude." There was a moment of silence which was suddenly broken by the sniffling sound of his mother.
"My Issei has finally grown up. I guess we will be seeing our grandchild very soon." She spoke with emotion as even his father had some tear in his eyes.
The awkward atmosphere was not something he could handle so he quickly finished his breakfast and ran towards his school.
He quickly arrived at his school in about a minute, it seems that he had unconsciously enhanced his legs with chakra to get away from home.
"Hah! Hah! Damn! I am already tired. It seems like I have only academy student level chakra reserves. This sucks! Fortunately, I seem to have carried over my absolute chakra control with my rebirth."
His chakra control was phenomenal even when he was supposed to suck at it with his massive chakra reserves when he was Naruto. He had mastered Fuinjutsu and used it to train his chakra control to absolute mastery. The level of dedication he poured in chakra control and Fuinjutsu was indescribable.
"Anyway, it seems like I will have to train a lot but thankfully I have a cheat item to help me get strong fast just like I had when I was Naruto." He grinned thinking about countless methods he could use to grow strong but first he had to unlock his sacred gear.
As he thought about his ways of getting stronger, he made his way towards his class. It seems like he had arrived early.
"Hoh! Hyoudou-kun you are quite early today. What's the occasion? Planning on doing something perverted this early?" The voice belonged to Aika Kiryuu who was just as perverted as the original Iseei was… maybe even more than that.
He scowled after being accused of something he wasn't planning but reined himself thinking that the girl was clueless regarding his situation, so he pretended not hearing her.
"Hmm… you say something?" He brought out the famous hip and cool attitude of Kakashi Hatake.
Aika squinted her eyes behind her glasses trying to see through him. "Are you really Hyoudou? You feel different."
"Nice try Kiryuu but trying to flirt with me like this isn't going to work." He answered in a playful manner.
"Hmm... so how do you suggest I flirt with you then?"
"How about showing me your oppai? Maybe that will work." Issei grinned at her.
"I would but I want to check your merchandise first." She grinned back at him.
"Alas I would like to, but you see I am a gentleman so ladies first." Just as he finished his sentence he could feel countless stares on him.
"Oh, my Hyoudou-kun how bold of you to flirt with me in front of so many people." Aika was definitely teasing him now since he could sense countless people behind him. But he wasn't the disciple of ero-senin for nothing.
"Don't worry about it I was just returning your gesture, it would be rude of me to ignore you now, wouldn't it?" He suavely answered back. Aika was astonished by his answer. She had thought that he would be panicking by now, but he was calm and seemed to be fully focusing on her unlike his previous self who was too coward and she felt some kind of tug in her heart knowing that he wouldn't ignore her even if he was in such embarrassing situation. All the males interacting with her would refrain speaking with her or outright ignore her due to her perverted nature, but it seems like this Issei was not what he used to be, and she liked it.
"Look at that that. The perverted trio's Issei and the most perverted girl in school flirting with each other. It seems like match made in heavens." Some students in the crowds sneered at them.
But Issei was not bothered by that comment and simply kept his attention on Aika Kiryuu. "It seems we make quite a pair that even people are starting to speak about it." He joked.
Aika just smiled. "You wish." She just elbowed him lightly and went towards her seat. After seeing her return to her seat, he took his seat as well.
"Oi! Issei what the hell are you doing with her? Don't tell me you are interested in her." One of the perverted trio Motohama asked him.
"I am. Something wrong with that?" Issei asked him coolly.
"You damn traitor! You are not one of us anymore." With that the perverted trio was no more and there was only perverted duo due to the misunderstanding jealousy of virgin perverts.
"Good riddance." He mumbled to himself.
After the whole morning affair, the lesson started, and everything went smoothly. He had decided to draw in nature chakra in order to attain the body of the sage through continuous use of Senjutsu but he had not expected the nature chakra to be so vile. It resembled Kurama's (nine-tailed fox which was sealed in him) chakra as it was filled with malice and hatred. He understood why it was so; it was due to the pollution currently happening in this world. Unlike elemental nations, this world was too depended on modern technology which caused pollution. The nature chakra was also extremely potent since the world here seems to be twenty times bigger than elemental nations.
Fortunately, he was extremely familiar with this kind of chakra, so he started drawing nature chakra in very minimum amount and purified it so that the Mother Nature would at least have her burden reduced no matter how small it was. The nature here had their won form of consciousness as they contained emotions which was never present in elemental nations as it was shown example through the Juubi which had no emotions, only pure unbridled power.
He had slowly been purifying the nature when he started to hear a voice deep within him. Just as he was starting to make sense of what was going on, he was in a vast burning field.
"Is this my mindscape?"
"Quite perspective of you. As you have guessed this is your mindscape. Let me introduce myself to my host. I am the Red Dragon Emperor, Draig."
He saw a giant red dragon which was radiating with dominating aura. He couldn't help but smile with happiness. "It's good to meet you, Draig. My name is Issei Hyoudou, your current host."
The dragon nodded in acknowledgement. "Having a formidable host such as yourself is indeed my luck. With you as my host, there is no doubt that we will be able to defeat the white one. Still for you to be a sage with such mastery over Senjutsu is very amazing."
"Thanks! But now that we can communicate, does that mean I have unlocked the Boosted Gear?"
"Yes… with you drawing in nature chakra has managed to awaken the Boosted Gear completely."
"Alright then, currently I am in the middle of a class, so we will continue our talk later Draig." The dragon just curtly nodded in understanding.
He opened his eyes only to see Aika staring at him meters apart. He raised his brows in surprise. "What are you doing?"
She huffed in annoyance. "I have been calling out to you for more than ten times already. Were you doing some kind of deep meditation?"
"I guess you can say that. So, what's up?" He asked curiously.
For a second, there was a red blush on her cheeks. "I was wondering if we could have lunch together." She looked at him expectantly.
He was surprised by the sudden invitation. But agreed not thinking too much about it. He already knew a lot about women psychology from ero-senin of course. He knew that Aika was definitely interested in him and though she wasn't exactly beautiful or cute, but her personality was quite to his liking.
Just as they were about to head out, a handsome blond boy came. He was the prince of Kuoh, Yuuto Kiba.
"Hyoudou-kun, I hope I am not disturbing you." Kiba sent a bright smile at them. The girls had already surrounded them and had started swooning at the blond boy.
"Kya! Kiba-kun please look here."
"Don't hang around that pervert. He may infect you."
"Is Kiba-kun interested in that kind of thing?"
Many gossiping could be heard and Issei was very annoyed by that and especially since the gossip included his sexuality.
"Jeez! I don't know man. If cockblocking isn't regarded as disturbing, then I guess I wasn't disturbed." He remarked sarcastically.
Kiba could only awkwardly smile. "Ok, pretty boy. What do you want?"
"My occult club's Buchou wants to meet with you. I hope you can agree to it."
"Well as much as I want to accept the invitation of one of the great Onee-sama, I already have a date with Aika-chan here so maybe later." He disregarded his request coolly.
Kiba was a bit stunned at first and just nodded at him. "Will you be free tomorrow?"
Issei looked at Aika for her consent. "Well? Are we still doing this tomorrow as well?"
Aika Kiryuu was in a pinch. She like this feeling she was having with Issei but at the same time he was being invited by one of the most beautiful girl in the academy, Rias Gremory. She wouldn't have been troubled if he had just refused or agreed the request, but he just implicated her as well.
"Umm… well…"
"Kiryuu-san, I hope we can borrow your boyfriend tomorrow." Kiba gave his signature smile at her but it was ineffective as he had just implied that Issei was her boyfriend.
"Wha… he's… not." Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted. "Will you stop teasing my girlfriend, pretty boy. Not eveyone's a gay like you."
Countless gasp could be heard from the female population in the classroom.
Kiba seeing that his job was done quickly escaped before he could be further embarrassed. While Issei was grinning at the misfortune of the pretty boy, he was punched at the chest by his said girlfriend.
"Issei Hyoudou, care to explain what you meant by me being your girlfriend?" Aika was glaring at him with red face.
Issei replied in a playful manner. "Well you are a girl and my friend so obviously you are my girlfriend, are you not?"
Aika Kiryuu was so frustrated that she ran away from him in embarrassment. "Aika-chan, where are you going? What about our lunch date? At least take your lunch box with you…" As Issei was calling out to her, she had already run away from him.
"Aw well… more food for me I guess." He started happily eating both his and Aika's share of food.
