A/n: Alright then. Now to point some things out that I've seen within the reviews of this story. One thing I have found is that few of you want this to be a single story pairing while others want harem. I have even seen people wanting more added to the Harem. The people on my discord chat have helped me come up with an idea for one character. Thanks to them for that. I won't lie, this story will probably end up being a Harem as I myself am leaning towards it myself. But I will say this. I will not be adding Gabriel or Asia to the Harem for major reasons that will be revealed in the story. Gabriel mainly where as Asia will just see Naruto as a father figure. Now onto a question by the reviewer PompousBrat. The reason that I am using Naruto and not just Amakusa is because while I have Naruto act more like Amakusa, there will be things that differentiate the two of them within this story. For this, think of it as two sides of the same coin. One side of it will be his Amakusa side while the other will be his Naruto side. Where these differences are, well you'll just have to find out.
Oh and sorry if the interaction between Naruto and Semiramis felt a little too...heart felt. Really I didn't mean for it to be. What I meant for it was to show how Naruto and Semiramis trusted each other.
Also something good happened. The author of stories such as, Return of the Dark Knight and Replaced, Crowfeast. Has become the Beta Reader to this story. I am thankful for him for doing this and I can't thank him enough. Now onto the chapter.
(Story Start)
(Two days after the last chapter. 3pm)
After meeting the...interesting teen that was Issei Hyoudo, Naruto and Semiramis had been having the feeling that they were being watched. As it was Semiramis had been getting more agitated with the feeling while Naruto seemed to ignore it.
"When are we going to do something about our little spy?" She asked as Naruto sat at the living room table.
"Nothing yet. They are simply observing to see if we show any ill intent." Naruto said calmly as he stood up from the table.
"How much longer do you think till they will visit us?" She asked as Naruto walked over to stand next to her.
"Not much longer now. But I think we may need to take the first step here." Naruto said with a smile as Semiramis looked out a nearby window.
"And how are we gonna do that?" She asked as Naruto sighed.
"By walking straight into their base and saying hello." He answered calmly as he walked towards the front door, his red shroud missing, leaving him just in the usual priest clothing.
"If your going out, I'll continue the work on the Gardens. And be careful." She said walking away. A small smile on her face as Naruto nodded.
"Will do." He said as he placed his shoes on and left their home.
(Half an Hour later)
Naruto had just resigned himself to wandering around Kuoh once more. Taking in the sights the town held. Eventually he felt himself starting to get hungry. Turning to the nearest person, he tried to ask if they knew where he could get some food. Unfortunately most of the people ignored him while some, females around his age, blushed and turned into a stuttering mess.
"Hey Naruto-san." He heard from behind him.
Turning around, Naruto came face to face with Issei. Dressed as he was when he first helped Naruto, but with a school bag slung over his shoulder.
"Ah Issei-san. Hello again." He said as Issei walked over to him.
"You OK?" Issei asked as Naruto nodded. "You seem lost." He pointed out as Naruto laughed slightly.
"Well, I was on my way to speak with the principal of the nearby school, but I got hungry on the way." Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh do you want to grab something to eat then?" Issei asked as Naruto looked at him in shock.
"I couldn't be a bother to someone as nice as you." Naruto said only for Issei to regret what he was about to say.
"Don't worry about it. Besides we're near a good ramen place anyway." He said only for Naruto to grab him by the shoulders.
"Show me." Naruto said seriously, scaring Issei slightly.
(10 Minutes Later, Ramen stand)
Issei was currently staring in shock as Naruto just finished his fourth large ramen bowel and placed it into a small stack.
"Issei-san. You are more of a saint than even me." He said as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"How did you manage to eat all that?" Issei asked staring at Naruto's body.
"I just really like ramen." Naruto said simply as Issei sweat dropped.
"Right. So what were you going to see the principal of the school for?" Issei asked as Naruto's eyes widened.
"Sorry Issei-san, but I must leave now. You'll find out tomorrow but for now I must say goodbye." Naruto said bowing to Issei before walking out of the stand.
Issei shrugged his shoulders and went to stand up from his seat, having finished his bowel earlier. Only for someone to grab his shoulder tightly. Looking at the person holding his shoulder, he found the owner of the ramen stand looking at him holding a piece of paper.
(With Naruto)
After leaving Issei with the bill, Naruto made his way to the nearby school. Kuoh academy. He didn't have trouble finding the place seeing as it seemed to be giving off a dark aura. Or more specifically, there was a large gathering of dark energy gathered somewhere on the school's grounds. Looking at the school as a whole, Naruto shook his head before he felt a dove land on his shoulder. Looking at the bird that landed on his shoulder, he lightly stroked the bird on the chest before walking away from the school. His eyes closed as he felt a devils presence behind him.
Walking through the streets of Kuoh in the evening was something Naruto found himself enjoying. The peacefulness of the town calmed Naruto down. For even someone like him had problems. He was walking through the park once more as the dove on his shoulder flew away as the leaves rustled loudly. Turning his head slightly he found a woman standing behind him. Her clothing consisted of black, strap-like objects (resembling leather) around and under her breasts, a thong-like piece held around her hips by three thin straps, gloves that ran right up her arms with small lengths of chains hanging from them, shoulder guard-like objects on her shoulders with three large spikes sprouting from her right shoulder, and black thigh-high heel boots. She had long silky black hair that fell down her back with piercing violet eyes. She also possessed two jet black feathered wings.
"How strange. I didn't expect to meet a crow on my walk." Naruto said as he noticed the devils presence behind one of the trees.
"What is a priest doing here in Kuoh?" The Fallen angel asked as Naruto gave his usual disarming smile.
"The angels decided to try and build better relations with the devils. So they sent me." He said as he kept one hand hidden behind his back. "What about you?" He asked as the Fallen kept her distance from him.
"Azazel-sama sent me here to keep an eye on a kid. He has a Sacred Gear that caught Azazel-sama's interest." She said as Naruto raised a brow.
"The boy your talking about. It's Issei Hyoudo right?" Naruto asked as the Fallen's eyes widened.
"How do you know that?" She asked as she formed a light spear in her right hand.
Naruto seeing this stopped hiding his hand and showed her four weapons held in between his fingers. In between his fingers were long thin swords with a short red handle and guard. Letting the blades fall from his grip, they dug themselves into the ground as Naruto backed away from them. After getting a far enough distance they broke into blue particles and disappeared.
"I mean you no harm. I want the same thing that Azazel wants." Naruto said raising his arms into the air as the Fallen let her own spear disappear.
She looked around the area quickly before walking closer to Naruto.
"It's too open to talk here." She said as Naruto nodded.
"Ah yes, we can continue at my home. Though do change your clothes as I'd rather not have to explain why I brought a woman who was wearing barely anything." Naruto said before the Fallen was covered in a purple flash. When it faded it left her with a yellow sundress that covered her body with a black coat over it.
"Is this better?" She asked as Naruto nodded before walking off. "What's your name priest?" She asked as she followed after him.
"Naruto, Naruto Shirou Uzumaki." He said folding his arms behind his back and grabbing his left wrist with his right hand. "What about you Fallen?" He asked as they left the park.
"Raynare." She said simply as she remained a small distance away from him.
"Well then. It's nice to meet you Raynare. You'll have to excuse my partner when we get to my home. She's not exactly fond of other people." He said as she raised a brow.
"Didn't think a priest could get married." Raynare said confused, receiving a chuckle from the blonde priest.
"We aren't married. Partners more in the sense of work really." He said getting a confused stare to his back as he continued walking.
"Guess I'll have to see what you mean." She said annoyed as Naruto nodded.
"Yes, yes you will." Naruto said with his smile disappearing.
(At Naruto's home)
After arriving back at his house, Naruto ushered in his new acquaintance. Shutting and locking the door, he led her to the living room where he sat down. Raynare stared at the priest, looking for any signs of deception, for any signs of this being a trap. But found none. So taking the seat Naruto let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"So Raynare-san, what is the reason you've been spying on Issei Hyoudo?" Naruto asked as Raynare raised a brow.
"I told you. The brat has a Sacred Gear that caught Azazel's interest." She said as Naruto shook his head.
"If that was the case. Why not extract the Sacred Gear?" He asked as she tensed up.
"My orders were to watch over Issei Hyoudo. Not interact with him or anything else. As such I will not kill the target." She said honestly as Naruto smiled.
"That's good. If you had planned on killing an Innocent person, then I would have you killed right here and now. " Naruto told her as her eyes widened.
Raynare went to move only to notice that she was surrounded by multiple purple chains that seemingly swayed side to side as though they were snakes. But after looking closely, the tips of the chains were dripping a greenish black liquid.
"One wrong move was all it took." Semiramis said as she came out of the kitchen. "One wrong move and you'd be wishing for death after my chains pierced your flesh." She said with a dark tone as Raynare looked at her.
"You may be thinking that I betrayed the trust you put into me. But I was just protecting an Investment. That's all." Naruto said as she turned her attention back to him.
"What do you mean by Investment?" She asked angrily as Naruto smiled.
"Issei will become a much stronger person in the future. As such, I am waiting till the right moment where he comes in search of answers." Naruto said laying his left ankle on top of his right.
"I thought you said you wanted the same thing as Azazel-sama." Raynare said growling only for the chains to move closer.
"I do. Both of us are people who desire peace. But we both have different ways of achieving it. My way is just the more fun way." Naruto said jokingly as Raynare looked confused.
"To unite everyone against a common foe." Semiramis said as Naruto laughed.
"If I can somehow bring everyone together to fight against a single enemy. Then everyone shall learn to work together and hopefully ignore their differences." Naruto explained as Raynare scoffed.
"And what about after you die? Your not a angel, your not a devil, and your certainly not a Fallen angel. Your just human. For all you know, someone could try to bring the apocalypse after you die." She said, a tone filled with superiority lingered in her voice.
Naruto said nothing but stood to his face. His smile having disappeared until only a small smirk was left.
"What I will do will solidify my place in the history of this world. As the man who did the unthinkable. Something none of the factions will do themselves." He said calmly as Raynare, could only stare at him confused once again.
"And what is that?" She asked only to get a laugh.
"That is something you'll just have to wait around and see." He said plainly. "Now it is late and I must do some more cleaning of the church before I can fully open it." He said sighing as Raynare stood to her feet slowly. The chains still surrounding her.
"So what? You can preach about how good god is?" Raynare asked sarcastically.
"No. Nothing of the sort. If you want to know. Then come to the church and listen to what I have to say." He said as Raynare looked at him suspiciously.
"If you let me do my job. I'll leave you alone." Raynare said as Naruto nodded.
"As long as your mission is observation and not extermination, then I will do as such." Naruto said as Semiramis made the chains disappear before moving to stand at Naruto's side.
"As a sign of trust. A nun was recently excommunicated from the church in Italy. Apparently she healed a devil without knowing that he was one." Raynare said as Naruto turned his head to stare at her out of the corner of his eye.
"And what is this nun's name?" Naruto asked.
"Asia Argento." Raynare said as Naruto's right hand tightened up till his knuckles turned white. His eyes not changing at all as he tried to keep his composure.
"Is that so? Why are you telling me this?" He asked calmly as Raynare placed a hand on her hip.
"She was meant to come to our side on the Fallen faction. But since you seem different than most priests I've come across, I'll send her your way. She should be arriving in a couple of months. Think of this being the start of a truce between us." Raynare said before walking out of the home.
Once Naruto was sure she was far away, he let out a heavy sigh as he eased the grip on his hand.
"Is this Asia person close to you?" Semiramis asked as Naruto nodded.
"Asia was just a young child when I first met her. I had just left my senior priest to start out on my own when she was assigned to me. I looked after her and helped her become the person she is. A kind and caring person who won't hesitate to help others. After a while, the others would always say I looked like a parent taking care of my daughter." Naruto explained as Semiramis raised a brow.
"So that's how you were used to acting like a proper father." She said getting a nod in return.
"If Asia truly does turn up here in Kuoh. We must get to her before the others do. I don't care what those fools who blindly follow the angels say, I will bring Asia into my church and keep her safe." He continued while Semiramis only laughed.
"Of course you will. That's just the kind of person you are." Semiramis said with a soft smile. "That conviction of yours is one of the reasons I still follow you." She continued as Naruto nodded.
"I know. Now let's turn in for the night. Since we made contact with Fallen angels here in Kuoh, the devils will no doubt contact us to find where we stand." Naruto said with Semiramis nodding.
"I'll make sure to have a extra room added to our house for this Asia." Semiramis said as Naruto smiled. "I expect some form of compensation for this." She added quickly as Naruto laughed softly.
"Of course. You'll have all the homemade cookies that you could want." Naruto said as he walked towards their shared room.
"Good. I knew I kept you around for another reason other than you interesting me." Semiramis said as she followed after him.
"In the school. There's a building in the back which just reeks of a devils energy. Would you be able to send a message to the people there to let them know I want to speak with them?" Naruto asked as Semiramis nodded after they reached the room.
"I'll send them a note attached to the leg of a dove in the morning." Semiramis said as she moved to sit on the bed.
"Thank you Semiramis." Naruto said smiling as he got into bed after removing his shirt.
(With Raynare)
The Fallen angel had decided to report to the leader of her faction about her findings. In front of her appeared a magic circle until a man came out of the circle. The one who came out of the circle is a tall man appearing to be in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and black goatee. He was wearing a grey yukata as he yawned.
"Hello Raynare. What do you want?" He asked as Raynare bowed to him.
"Azazel-sama there is something I need to tell you." She said urgently getting a raised brow from the man.
"And what is that?" He asked as Raynare stopped bowing.
"I made contact with a priest who has made Kuoh his home." She said as Azazel laughed.
"So what? You've dealt with priests yourself what makes him any different?" Azazel asked as Raynare sighed.
"This one...he was different. He didn't care that I could've attempted to kill him at any time. He even invited me into his home." She said as Azazel brought a hand to his chin.
"So he was confident in the thought of being able to handle a Fallen angel. Did you sense anything strange coming from him?" He asked only to get a shake of a head.
"No. That's what made it more confusing. He's a human, confident enough in his abilities that he would willingly invite a Fallen angel into his home." She said grabbing her head slightly as Azazel sighed.
"Did you catch the name of this priest?" Azazel asked as she nodded.
"He said his name was Naruto Shirou Uzumaki." She said as Azazel's eyes widened.
"An Uzumaki huh? Didn't think anymore of those guys were around." Azazel said getting a confused look from his underling.
"Are the Uzumaki's special or something?" Raynare asked getting a nod from the man.
"The Uzumaki's have been a family that have existed for a while. I originally thought that the last Uzumaki was a female. But it seems that I was wrong." Azazel said before Raynare asked him another question.
"What's so special about them?"
"For some reason, the Uzumaki Family have always sided with the church. And strangely enough from the records I have on that family. Shirou is a very common middle name." Azazel said as his brow furrowed in confusion. "Give me some time to think on this information Raynare. For now, keep following your original mission, but this time. Try and befriend this new comer." He continued before teleporting away.
(The next morning)
After waking up, Naruto moved to the kitchens quietly as to not wake Semiramis. Knowing that she wasn't a morning person. When she first started following him, Naruto had woken her up early in the morning claiming that it was time for then to do some training. Suffice to say, Naruto was on edge with anything he would drink as Semiramis had threatened to poison him. Putting a apron on he moved to start making the cookies he promised before he went out to clean up around the church some more.
Eventually after he had finished his baking, he covered them with a tea towel before leaving a note for it. Making his way to the church he caught a glimpse of red hair in the corner of his vision. Turning to it, he saw a teenage girl with bluish green eyes and long red hair staring at him in confusion.
"Well hello there. I didn't expect to see you here." He said as the girl stood a few metres away from him. "Though I must say, it took a lot longer for you to show yourself to me." He continued as the girl folded her arms over her chest. "Rias Gremory." He finished as the girl, Rias, eyes narrowed.
(END)
So as of this chapter, we see that yes, Naruto wields Black Keys and has made contact with the Fallen Angels. Raynare even attempting to form a bridge of trust between them by offering to send Asia to Naruto when she arrives in Kuoh. And it also seems that Naruto doesn't seem to like how the church operates, especially now that he knows they wrongfully threw out Asia when she tried to do what was right. In doing so, Raynare revealed to Azazel that Naruto was stationed in Kuoh which sparked some interest in the leader of the Fallen Angels. What could this mean for our blonde priest? You'll have to find out next time.
