This is the second installment in my story and so far so good. Most have expressed positive reviews and while there is a few negatives, I'll just bear with it this time. Some of you were worried about this being a Devil!Naruto story so I went back and re-edited the last chapter and posted that no, Naruto will NOT become a devil.

So yeah, no peerage joining for Naruto, but not from a lack of trying on Rias' part.

So yeah, that's that...

Naruto sensed them approaching before he saw them. They were approaching from the west. Without the trees, he could make out their vaguely humanoid figures. He was a bit remorseful for the show of power he had done seeing as how he had obliterated most of the mountain and forest around it but ultimately deemed it necessary. He was trapped here and unlike his former teammate, he did not possess the ability to travel across other dimensions. He was sure that with the visual prowess that his friend had been gifted, Sasuke would have been able to sense that massive output of chakra and should be on his way to the blond right now.

But whoever it was that was approaching him would no doubt arrive sooner.

It was a passive ability but Naruto had instinctively checked for their chakra and was surprised not to find any. They was a form of energy alright, but it wasn't chakra. He wasn't sure how to properly describe the energy he felt from the persons approaching. The first thing he realized that was unlike chakra - which flowed throughout the body by structured chakra network - this energy instead flowed throughout the body without restraint and order. Not to mention the darker feelings he felt emanating from the power source.

It was nothing on par with Kurama or his Version 2 cloak, but darker than normal.

It was a few moments after sensing the approaching group that they finally came into sight. From his position on the ground, he spied the flying figures speeding towards him. His sharp eyes - still enhanced with the powers of senjutsu and the sage's boosts - were able to pick up on their features from a mile away. The one at the front was a teenage girl with exotic red hair. Out of them all, she seemed like she wanted to reach him the most. He could tell by her superior speed - and the strange amount of desire he felt emanating from her - that she was rushing towards him. She was being closely followed by another teenage girl who had dark hair and glasses. Just a bit further back, he was able to pick out multiple figures closing in, each with their own defining features.

"Huh... didn't expect for there to be other humans here too. I'm guessing this isn't one of Kaguya's personal dimensions then."

So far, out of all the dimensions that Kaguya had teleported him to during their fight, none of them had any signs of human life. He had assumed that the human was unable to create life (if you decided to exclude Zetsu. That guy was a freak) and could only create the space within the dimensions. So if that was true, then it meant that Kaguya had merely opened a portal to an already existing world and had simply shoved him through.

That could possibly make it harder for Sasuke to find him.

He didn't have time to ponder on that thought seeing as how the redhead girl was immediately upon him. She landed without a sound, her crimson locks settling with a small flourish. The girl was an otherworldly beauty. Her skin was flawless from blemishes and a shade just beneath tan. She gave him the impression of something unattainable; to look but not touch. What she wore, he could only assume was a uniform: a simple red skirt that hadn't even pass her knees with accents. Tucked into the skirt was a white blouse with thin black stripes. She wore a black corset above the blouse that accentuated her... assets.

And what fine assets they were.

Landing beside her was the girl with the glasses. Just like the redhead, she was quite the looker. Where she lacked in curves and womanly charms, she made up in a lithe figure and her cool composure. Immediately, Naruto likened her to Samui, the kunoichi from Kumo that he had met during the war. He could now conclude that what the girl was wearing was a uniform of sort as the other girl was wearing it as well.

The others landed soon after and gathered behind the two girls, giving off the impression that these girls were their leaders. And by the amount of power in could feel concentrated in their bodies, that assessment seemed about right.

Now, he was caught in a conundrum. He had no information on this new world nor had he any idea who these girls were. His actions up to this point were to be carefully considered as not to spark hostility. He wasn't even sure of they spoke the same language. So with those thoughts in mind, he decided that a simple greeting would suffice.

"Yo," he greeted with a grin.

"..."

"..."

"...this... was not what I had expected," the read head finally spoke, breaking the awkward silence.

Rias was expecting many things as she flew towards the spot of interest. When the wave of power had hit her, she was certain that whoever it was would be older than them, somewhere around her brother's age but that was immediately thrown out the gate when she had set eyes on the boy. She had heard of instances where powerful beings were capable of warping their physical features at will but she was certain that this was the boy's true appearance (when you dismissed the golden cloak and nine weird balls thing he had going on). Another expectation she had was the fact that he would be of supernatural race. Yet all her senses were proclaiming him to being a human.

So you couldn't blame her for her words when he greeted them with a nonchalant "Yo,"

"..."

"..."

"...this... was not what I had expected,"

'Was he really the one to have given off such a powerful presence?' she thought to herself but knew it was a redundant question. He was the only glowing person in a hundred mile radius so he must have been the one. She would see the disbelief in her rival's eyes as she too thought the same about the boy before them.

"And just what were you expecting?" the boy asked in return.

She brushed off his question. "Were you the one who did this?"

She motioned her hand to the large span off uprooted dirt and destruction around them and watched as the boy winced. She already knew the answer to the question but needed a conversation opener.

"Ah, sorry 'bout that, didn't plan for that to happen," the boy explained with a sheepish grin while scratching the nape of his neck. He seemed apologetic for his actions.

Sona stepped forward, hands on hip and a glint flashing off her glasses. "And just what were you planning to do?" she interrogated.

"Nothing really, just trying to signal Sasuke," the boy replied and Rias felt her interest peak at his words.

"Sasuke? Are there more of you out there?" she asked.

Naruto felt put off by her words for a moment and wasn't sure how to answer her questions. But he didn't need to, as the other girl - the one with glasses - interrupted before he could.

"You said you were trying to signal someone, do you mean using your powers like a beacon?"

"Yep,"

For some reason, the girl looked unnerved by his admission but Naruto wasn't sure why. He was telling the truth and was waiting for Sasuke to arrive. He was sure that the bastard would have been here by now. His sharin-rinnegan* gifted to him by the sage was capable of instantaneous teleportation across dimensions.

Surely he should have been here by now.

"How did you arrive here in the first place? I only saw you exiting that portal in the sky but nothing more,"

Naruto was able to pick up the difference between the two girl's tone. While the redhead - who had yet to give him her name - was on the softer and kinder scale of things, the one with the glasses - who also had yet to introduce herself - was stern and sharp with her words. She gave him the impression of an angry Iruka-sensei; intolerable of nonsense and demanded respect.

He could respect that... if he knew who they were exactly.

Naruto decided it was time for him to do the questioning.

"Who are you girls?" He asked directly, preferring to come out with the question that had just crossed his mind. Since his arrival, he had only come across this group who looked around his age yet had the same self-entitlement one would expect from a kage. It wasn't an uncommon sight to see someone so young in a position of power (Gaara was proof of that, being chosen as Kazekage at age 15 and received the title of Regimental Commander of the Shinobi Alliance only two years later) but Naruto wasn't sure what position of power these girls might hold.

Sona was about to object to his request before her queen stepped in. Tsubaki whispered a short warning in her ear and Sona saw logic in her words. With a quick nod over to the tall reincarnated devil, Sona stepped forward.

"It will be getting dark soon. Not to mention the fact that the humans would no doubt come and investigate what had happened here. I believe it is within all of our best interests if we were to continue this else where," she suggested, getting a nod from the gathered peerage and her Gremory counterpart.

Naruto nodded absently to her questions. His mind, however, was on the fact that she had said humans as of she wasn't one.

'Five minutes in a new world and I've already met persons who aren't human... just my luck'

Naruto couldn't help but be awestruck at the sight that was Kuoh Academy. Trailing slightly behind the group, Naruto stopped and gawked at the impressive structure.

When he had been told that they were going to escort him to an academy, his mind had quickly imagined the ninja academy back home. Small and cozy, sort of like a home away from home.

With a simple teleportation circle carrying them to the gates of of the prestigious academy, those thoughts were dashed in the winds. This... this was absolutely humongous. Towering many stories above him, the building stood out like only an old pervert in a hot spring could; loud, brash and practically begging for you to stare and marvel at their boldness. The striking architecture, which Naruto will later learn to be European style, was splashed in beige and brown. Walking a wide path, which then encircled a water fountain and started off again towards the school building, Naruto let out short whistle.

"Man, I haven't seen anything as fancy as this back home," the blonde commented offhandedly. Walking with his fingers interlocked at the back off his head, he lengthened his strides to keep pace with his small escort group.

Rias took the time to observe the blond as they made their way across the expansive grounds. It was sometime between their teleportation from the crash site to the academy that the boy had relinquished control on whatever power it was that caused him to light up like a glow stick (and she would admit that she was a tad bit disappointed by the power down) and reverted to what she correctly assumed was his base state. His skin was still the same tan as it was but she had realized that his hair was a sunny blond and his eyes a brilliant shade of blue. His clothes had obviously seen better days. His orange and black jacket was torn and tattered, displaying the chain mail armor underneath. His pants weren't in a better state and looked as though he had just escaped from a war zone. The oddest thing about him were the whisker marks on his cheeks.

"So... are you girls gonna tell me what you are? I mean, you've kinda admitted to not being human, and you're leading me into what appears to be an empty school. So I'm starting to think this is some sort of B-list horror movie," Naruto spoke. He even had a scrunched up look on his face as if actually considering the idea that the girls were in fact trying to kill him.

"As Sona had suggested before Mr... uhm,"

"Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto," he told the buxom redhead.

"As Sona had suggested before Uzumaki-san, we're taking you somewhere private where we can continue our discussions later," she paused on her words, contemplating something. "As a matter of fact, there is no need for so many persons to be here for this, I think it would be better if you all went home now,"

"Are you sure, Bouchou?"

"Yes, I'm sure,"

"If you believe it's wise to do so, then I'll be going now. See you tomorrow Bouchou,"

"Have a good night, Kiba,"

Naruto watched as the boy called Kiba vanish away with a red seal as the only evidence, but that too soon faded. At this actions, many of the others left in their own circles after giving their farewells.

"Come along Uzumaki-san, we'll be arriving soon enough," Rias commented when the others were gone before she went back to observing the boy out of the corner of her eyes. She was contemplating on how he would fit in her peerage. She had no doubt now that she would have him, no matter the cost. When would the another opportunity like this would present itself? Well never. Here it was, an incredibly powerful teen who seemed human appearing within the confines of her own city with seemingly no affiliations to any of the three factions. Especially since it wasn't too long ago that she had recruited the wielder of the Red Dragon Emperor and the wielder of Twilight Healing.

If she were a christian she would proclaim it to be a sign from God.

But she wasn't and so would hold back any praise too the big man upstairs. Instead, she had opted the friendly stranger approach. And it was working a whole lot better seeing as how Sona was her usual stern self. The contrast between the two was so evident that Rias had to bite back the smile forming on her face. And if he were to be believed, his friend Sasuke - who she hoped was as powerful as Naruto seemed to be - would be arriving soon after and there was the chance that he too could be convinced into joining her peerage.

How this would be too sweet!

But never had the thought of her being physically incapable of doing so had crossed her mind.

You see, the Evil Pieces System was created by one of the Four Satans, Ajuka Beelzebub. Used as a way to replenish the Devil faction after the Great War had greatly reduced their numbers by allowing members of any of the other races to be reincarnated as a devil, the system was a godsend (pun intended). This reincarnation was not absolute however. Exceptions to this were that Buddhas, Gods or Dragon Gods were incapable of being reincarnated. Another technicality to the pieces abilities was the ratio of power one had to possess in order to reincarnate another being.

Therefore, Naruto was in violation of both of these rules.

The Tailed-Beasts were widely known as massive chakra constructs that wielded unimaginable power. While true in this assumption, what majority of others did not know however, was that the Tailed-Beasts were actually fragments of the broken power of the primordial god known as the Juubi, the Ten Tailed Beast. That meant, in the essence of things, the tailed beasts were gods in their own right.

And with Naruto having a permanent link to their power, the teen could be considered as a mortal god.

Regardless of his godly stature, Naruto would still be near impossible to reincarnated. In his base form, his raw power was comparable to Ultimate class, not to mention his Sage mode or his Six Paths Sage mode. With this in mind, the amount of power the king piece would have to wield to be able to reincarnate him would be unattainable to all beings except Ophis and Great Red.

Not that Rias knew this however.

So lost in her train of thoughts on how to get the boy to join her peerage, she hadn't realized they had walked the entirety of the school, reached the Old School Building and was at the club room until she heard the loud yell of her newly minted pawn Issei shouted at her arrival.

"Bouchou, you're back! We've been worried about you," the boy leaped from his seat to greet his new master.

Rias visibly doubled back at his presence. She hadn't expected the boy to be here in the club room but remembered that in her haste in getting to meet Naruto, she had forgotten that Issei and Asia had been left behind in her rush.

"Ah Issei, I didn't expect you to have been here. I'm sorry to have forgotten about you in my haste," she apologized.

Issei pouted but quickly turned 180 in attitude. He could never stay mad at Rias. "No worries, bouchou! Asia and I were just worried. With that big explosion that happened a while ago, we weren't sure if you were okay,"

Rias chuckled at his happy-go-lucky attitude. The boy was a breath of fresh air sometimes. "I assure you that I'm fine Issei, thanks for your concern,"

The boy had forgone his school jacket, leaving his white button-down shirt wide open to reveal his red undershirt. Black trousers ran the length of his legs which led to his tennis shoes.

"Bouchou, who is that boy?" Asia interrupted the conversation. The girl had blond hair a few shades lighter than Naruto and emerald green eyes that was filled with innocence. The girl was wearing the same uniform as Rias and Sona.

She had directed the question to Rias but had her eyes on the blond male standing beside her.

"Ah right. Asia, Issei, this is Naruto. He was the cause of the big explosion yesterday. I'll explain everything to you tomorrow but you guys should head home now, okay," she instructed and received nods of confirmation. Soon, it was only the three of them in the room.

"Make yourself at home Uzumaki-san, we only have a few questions for you,"

Naruto acquainted himself with the couch under the girl's suggestion.

Rias slid behind her desk with Sona right beside her. Her friend and rival now had, what she called, her 'president' stare. Whenever Rias found herself under that gaze, she would always feel like a delinquent sitting behind the principal's desk and it always made her uncomfortable.

Looking at the boy's reaction, she saw him simply brushed it off as though he was used to being in trouble. Clearly her throat, Rias studied the boy once more to compose herself. If she hoped to make Naruto a part of her peerage she first needed him on her side. And to do that, first impressions were important. Of course, their first meeting had been, bland at best, but now this would be their first real conversation, so she needed to be careful as not to insult him.

"So, Uzumaki-san, will you be willing to answer any question we ask you?" Sona started the questioning with she deemed a suitable beginner.

"Depends really, will you be willing to answer any question I ask you?" Naruto shrugged. He honestly had no objections towards answering their questions. As long they don't ask anything too personal. And that they answer his questions as well. He had learned from his godfather that information was a shinobi's bread and butter, and that many had risked their lives to obtain information.

Naruto realized the importance information could have and in order to get it, he would have to give some in trade. And unless these girls had a way to travel dimensions, the information would be useless to them.

"Sure, it would only be fair," Rias answered with a smile.

"So let's begin with the one I've asked before, what exactly are you girls? I know for fact you aren't human,"

"Well you see Uzumaki-san, my name is Rias Gremory, and my friend here is Sona Sitri. We, along with everyone who you have met so far... are devils," With a slight pause, Rias allowed her wings to appear. Sona, following her friend's example.

"Huh... wasn't expecting that," Naruto mumbled to himself as he allowed for the info to settle. He knew what devils were. The concept of devils and angels were rare in the Elemental Nations (most preferring to use the term demons, which were two different things) but were there none the less. Now he was being told that they were real... shocker!

"I believe it's time for our question Uzumaki-san. How did you arrive here?" Sona asked. "It seemed as though you were in a fight before arriving in Kuoh,"

"I got into a fight with a goddess actually," he replied nonchalantly, stunning the two girls into silence. "My friend Sasuke and I were fighting her and had won but she was a total sore loser about it. She made that portal you saw and shoved me through it. Now I'm stuck here,"

"That is quite the statement Uzumaki-san," Sona commented. "Not many can claim to have been able to fight a goddess and come out on top. Impressive."

Naruto blushed under her praises, not used to getting compliments as of late. "It was nothing really," he brushed off.

"Well, yes... that is quite the achievement. However there is one more thing I would like to clarify," Rias spoke, a charming smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

"Sure, what is it?"

"You mentioned the fact that you are stuck here, meaning you have no way to return until your friend arrives. Am I correct?"

"Yeah," Naruto shifted as he began to feel uncomfortable.

"Rias... what are you getting at?" Sona questioned her friend with narrowed eyes.

"Nothing," Rias send while taking out the rook piece from within her desk and placing it on top. Sona's eyes widened at the implications while Naruto's furrowed in suspicion. He could sense the same energy from Rias emanating from the chess piece. Almost as though she was linked to the piece. "I'm just offering a deal that to our guest would help with his problems. You see Uzumaki-san, there is a special system that allows us to turn other species into devils. And this rook is apart of the system. If you were join my peerage and become one of my servants, I can provide for you a place to stay until your friend arrives. And if he wishes as well, he can also join my peerage so you two won't be separated. A good offer, wouldn't you agree?"

Naruto didn't hesitate. "Nope!"

Rias looked affronted from the quick denial, not expecting such an answer. The possibilities of him saying no were there but he hadn't even stopped to ask for what benefits he might gain from the action.

"Are you sure about that Uzumaki-san? I've yet to tell you what you might gain if you were to pledge your loyalty to me," Rias cooed, hiding the disappointment of such a swift rejection with a lathered tone. "If you become a devil, think of all the things you could do. You could get a lot stronger plus live a very long life. And, it's not uncommon for a devil to have a harem. Just... think about it. I'm sure you'll want to take me up on that offer now," Rias tried to appeal to the disinterested ninja.

Again he wasted no time in rejecting her offer, this time with an apologetic smile on his face. "I'm sorry but I can't. I'm loyal to Konoha and my dream is to become the hokage. If I were to join your peerage then I'd have to give all of that up, and that just isn't for me,"

Rias had no idea what the words 'Konoha' or 'hokage' meant, but but she wouldn't let them to stop her from gaining his allegiance. "I urge you to reconsider Naruto-kun, there would be no need for you to give up your dreams. In fact, I'm sure that being a devil wouldn't interfere with those goals,"

Naruto raised a brow at the girl, not convinced by her words. "Really? So you're saying that even if I were to join your peerage, I could go wherever and whenever I want? That I could be able to return to my home on my own will without your permission?"

Naruto knew he had her beat when she flinched. It wouldn't have been noticeable to most but to his sharp eyes, it was clear as day. He may not have been the smartest kunai in the pouch but even he could read between the lines of this peerage setup. The girl had said that accepting her offer would make him her servant, which meant that she would have been in control of his life. So if she wanted, she could have ordered him to remain in this dimension forever. And if he refused, he was sure that there would be dire consequences to pay.

Devils didn't sound like beings who tolerated insubordination.

Naruto got up from the couch with a stretch, seeing that the meeting was over.

"I'm sure you're a nice girl Rias, but I'll have to say no,"

Rias nodded her head slowly, smiling softly. "I understand, Uzumaki-san,"

As he prepared to leave, he wondered on what his next course of action would be. He had a world to get back to and a lot of things to do once he got there. Hell, they hadn't even released the Infinite Tsukuyomi as yet.

There was so much to do and he had little time to go around playing devil.

He vanished in a burst of smoke and leaves. As he left, the smile slipped from Rias' face into a menacing frown.

'Today might have been a bust but I won't allow you to slip through my hands so easily. This isn't over Naruto Uzumaki. Not by a long shot.'

There you have it, chapter 2 of the revamp.

To those you were still worried on Naruto being a devil, this chapter confirms it. NO, he will not become a devil.

For those interested in the pairings, I have decided to do an official pairing.

And it will be... OPHIS.

I have an idea on how to get the two together and I hope you will love it.

I HAVE GONE BACK AND RE-EDITED THE CHAPTER BY CHANGING THE INTERACTIONS WITH RIAS.

It seemed as though the chapter had left the impression of this being a Rias bashing (which it is not). So I went back and changed the conversation they had and hoped that this one flows better and clears any misconceptions you might have had.

Also, the pairing issue. Don't worry about the pairing. Romance will be secondary to the actually flow of things and will not be the may aim of the story. The pairing is Ophis and I won't change on that. The actually relationships won't be explored until we're knee deep into the story's plot. However, I have decided that this will NOT be a harem story. Put the pitchforks down and allow me to explain.

The presence of a harem would take away too much from the story it self and the fact that I have absolutely zero experience in writing such relationships should also be taking in account. Plus, while this is indeed a DxD story, also remember it's a Naruto fanfiction and Naruto does not seem as the type to go about having a harem so it will be a single pairing.

IT IS NOT DEBATABLE!

SHAMELESS SELF ADVERTISING AT THIS POINT! THE CHAPTER AS OFFICIALLY ENDED! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Sometime after I had posted my first story on this site (the original Unleash the Kitsune), i had posted another story called 'The Root of All Evil'. It was a Naruto-centric fanfic which had toyed with this idea:

Not only did the Third Hokage die in the invasion during the Chunin Exams, but so did Danzo Shimura. Without the presence of their leader, ROOT fell into disarray. This leads to the reveal that Naruto Namikaze, the hidden son of the Fourth Hokage, was a member of ROOT and was also the jinchuriki of the bijuu that Konoha had believed to have been killed. How will the village handle such a news? But most of all, how would Mito Namikaze, the 'only' child of the Fourth react to having a brother with no emotions?

The story was met with bad reactions and was ultimately scrapped. But with the revival of this story, I felt to go back into my idea graveyard and bring this back to life... or I hope so. Tell me... would you read this story if I were to post it up say... this weekend. Leave a review if you would or would not.
