PLEASE READ AN!
Hi Guys, first of all thanks for all the favs, follows and reviews.
Here with a new chapter and to reply to some reviews.
Ok FIRST OF ALL, I'm kinda pissed at some people who commented that I'm passing this OC off as Naruto and he's nothing like the original. These people seem to apply that they know Naruto.
OK geniuses, let me tell YOU something, ever heard of Naruto's dark suppressed side? The one he had buried deep in his psyche? The side we never got to see since Naruto is all goody goody?
Yeah in this fic he never had him suppressed, rather he's born a damn DEVIL! His darker side is actually more influential than ever when he was a human. And everyone seems to FORGET that he's born and raised differently; all these facts come together and form the Naruto in this story.
SO WHO IS NARUTO?! Well the answer would be what Naruto stands for or rather his spirit and essence. At least in my opinion. Naruto is the lovable friendly knucklehead who's always had the short end of the stick while being looked down upon and underestimated. YET he moves forward with an unbreakable will and continues to grow stronger physically and emotionally; while caring for the people close to him and never giving up.
That's who NARUTO REALLY IS in my opinion. I'm confident that this Naruto is exactly the same as the canon one in spirit. Besides if you don't like him then don't read.
Sorry for the long rant, but thanks if you read this and please enjoy the story. As always explanations about things will be given at the end of the chapter and in favor of the reviews I'll go with shippuden before moving to DXD verse.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Highshool DXD, if I did then Naruto would have an awesome suit like Ryu Hayabusa from ninja gaiden and have a harem of sexy devil ninja girls in skimpy clothes.
Chapter One: New Path
Naruto sighed as he looked towards the beautiful cloudy sky that hid the sun from him or rather him from the sun.
Ever since his arrival and introduction to the shinobi world, he thought over the ten short years of his life, the sudden changes and what he would do in the future.
His childhood wasn't something he'd like to think about since after his birth, his mother died due to child birth and he was left in the care of his stoic father.
Having pitiful magic reserves only isolated him more, he was raised more by the servants than his own family. Having nothing to do besides learning basic education and etiquette, he spent most of his time training to increase his reserves or learning combat, tactics and magic.
Due to not having great connections within his clan, he was left alone most of the time and looked down on for being weak and useless. Then slowly his father started to test his worth by having him battle different high class demons or youkais and in some cases would make him infiltrate fallen angel territories.
Despite his best efforts, he never seemed to perform well enough in his father's eyes. Whenever he'd defeat a high demon, he'd be reprimanded on not doing it fast enough or better enough. Whenever he'd infiltrate a fallen territory and return, he'd be reprimanded for taking too long or on his methods.
He can say with utmost certainty that his father hasn't in all his life ever praised him once or that he never truly had a real friend up until now unless you can count instructors.
He always suspected that one day his father might lose his patience and punish him for being weak in his eyes one day but he never thought that he'd be banished considering he's the sole heir to the clan.
After coming to the shinobi world and konoha in specific, he realized that even in here he was no match for the chunin or jonin. The only ones that were susceptible to his charm and devil tongue magic were the civilians. Trained genin can do the same he realized with some bitterness.
The only thing that separated him from the shinobi were his eternal youth, high regeneration, power of destruction and his talent for magic.
What surprised him though was the elite jonin or anbu who were each easily equal to the ultimate class devils of his home and that made his pride sink even more. If the shinobi world ever found out about the normal human world or the underworld then there would be no stopping them from taking over unopposed since the number of jonin of konoha alone easily outnumbered the ultimate class devils of his world.
Back to current matters, after getting settled in he realized that the shinobi path was the only one that gave him both power and a chance to gain a peerage and survive in this world considering even the strongest can die at a moment's notice.
Sensing and meeting Asuna was a saten send since if he could manage to convince her to join him, her strength in the future would be invaluable considering her reserves and potential.
Luck was on his side when the class he was assigned to was the same one she was in. Making friends with her was easier. Introduction with a smile, mild conversation during class, asking to have lunch together and sharing his bento with her since she didn't have anything to eat; made it way too easy.
After a week of friendly conversation, training, sparring and helping her out, had made her putty in his hands, heck she was acting like they were best friends from past lives or close and all it took was being friendly and reaching out to her a little.
'Then again she's never had anyone try to be her friend in the first place, she's bound to latch onto anyone willing to accept her' Naruto thought bitterly, life wasn't fair to him or her and that bond further motivated him to make her join him.
"Hey Naruto-kun! Why're you brooding like that over there?!" His thoughts were interrupted by the ever cheerful and energetic Asuna Uzumaki.
Blinking in surprise Naruto looked over towards his friend/future peerage member in his mind with confusion written over his face.
"When was I brooding?" Naruto asked
Asuna giggled "Your face looks like you're brooding, what's wrong?"
"Nothing just thinking over some things like training etc" Naruto answered dismissively since she did not need to know what he really was thinking about.
"Well wanna go get some ramen? Academy's over anyways" Asuna said with a grin and Naruto raised a brow.
"You do realize that we don't really have the money to spend on fast food right? No matter how good it tastes"
"Aw then what do wanna do then and I'm hungry!" Asuna whined and Naruto smirked
"Well since you don't really have any cooking skills, we can go to my house and I'll make some food and no I don't know how to cook ramen…yet" Naruto answered when he noticed the expectant look when he offered to cook and shot down that train wreck, he did not have that much money to cook enough ramen for the both of them, well more for her considering she can almost inhale it.
"Aww but I wanted to eat ramen! And you don't have to be a jerk about my cooking skills!" Asuna pouted and Naruto sighed
"You should know how cook, it's a vital skill and you shouldn't waste money on just cup ramen no matter the variety, too much of something good is always bad, most of the time" He would know, considering he is a devil. Temptation, corruption and other evil come easily to him.
"C'mon then, I'll show you some basic cooking while we're at it" Both devil and jinchuuriki made their way to get some food.
Later
"This is delicious! You're amazing Naruto-kun!" Asuna exclaimed as she finished bowl after bowl of the food.
Lunch was a light affair with rice, fish and miso soup but with his skills that he gained from learning from the best chef in the underworld; even the simple dishes tasted divine.
"Don't talk with your mouth full Asuna-chan…" Naruto said with a sweat drop and his plates empty since he didn't have to eat as much as his blonde friend who didn't seem to finish.
"Goph tift (got it)" Asuna replied mid bites and the sweat drop increased.
'She's going to be a handful isn't she?' Naruto thought internally and continued to observe his friend.
Later
"And the winner is Sasuke" Iruka announced as he got in the middle of the two combatants.
"Damn it" Asuna muttered as she glared at the last uchiha and made her way to the line of other students.
"Nice try Asuna-chan but you need to work on your balance more" Naruto muttered as he patted his friends back.
"If only I was stronger…" Asuna muttered and Naruto raised a brow before the gears in his mind started turning and he smirked.
Later
"Why did you ask me to come here Naruto-kun?" Asuna asked as she looked to the full moon in the sky, looking over from the top of fourth hokage's head.
"Hey Asuna-chan we're friends right?" Naruto asked as he looked at the blonde with a serious gaze.
"Of course we are!" Asuna exclaimed in shock, heck he was her best friend!
"So you trust me right?"
"Of course I do" Asuna answered confused by the weird conversation
"Well then you won't mind keeping a secret between us right?"
"Sure!" the blonde answered with a cheerful grin
"You see Asuna-chan I'm not really normal… I'm from a different race entirely, I'm what you call a devil" as he finished his words, two bat-like wings erupted from his back yet didn't seem to rip his clothes.
"W-what? What do you mean? t-that's just a transformation isn't it?" the blonde jinchuuriki asked in disbelief and an uncomfortable laugh.
Naruto shook his head "No this is my true form and no I'm not a demon, there is a world of difference between a demon and a devil… You see, devils are a race of beings descended from a being called saten and we are very similar to humans in appearance while demons are beings that are born from negative energy of the world or from the negative energy accumulated from humans"
Looking at the stunned blonde, the raven haired devil decided to continue,
"Devils are superior to humans and shinobi in some ways, our wings allow us to fly, our bodies are more durable so we can take attacks that would be otherwise fatal to humans and we have a lifespan that is nigh immortal and we never really grow old like humans" As he spoke the blonde's mind continued to work in overdrive.
"The reason why I'm telling you this is that, I can also turn other people into devils as well and I wanted you to join me, to be more precise I want you to join my peerage" Naruto finished and looked at the blonde in the eyes.
"What's a peerage?" were the only words that came from her mouth.
"A peerage is like a family or a team, a group of devils that work together and protect each other… Asuna-chan this world isn't an easy one to live in and without power or allies we can die and I don't want to lose my only true friend… so that's why I wanted to ask you, it's your choice if you want to join me or not" Naruto finished and the blonde's eyes widened in surprise at the words, all her life she was alone and looked at like a monster, people would call her a demon in whispers and would deny or scorn her existence and yet here was a real devil that had befriended her and offered her a place where she could belong.
'I don't even have to think over this' the blonde thought as tears fell from her eyes, a family, a place just for her, friends… everything she always wanted and now she has a chance to get it, she didn't need to think about him deceiving her, she couldn't sense a shred of deceit from him and she trusted him, he could've had anyone else, tricked her easily instead but he didn't. He worked to know her, to form a bond with her and now that bond will be unbreakable, she'll be sure of that.
"Baka… of course I'll join you besides I don't wanna turn into an old hag when I get older anywas" the blonde answered with a grin and Naruto looked at her tear stricken face with wide eyes.
Ba-dump
Naruto blushed when he looked how angelic Asuna looked when the full moon casted its glow at her, the tears of joy in her eyes and the real grin on her face made look like a golden kitsune smiling at him. For some reason his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't deny it.
"I'm… glad to hear that, then let's begin the process" Naruto answered after he fought down the blush.
"So how do we this, I don't have to drink blood or anything do I?" Asuna asked after she wiped her tears and asked with a disgusted face.
Naruto chuckled, 'leave it to Asuna to lighten the mood'. "No the process is pretty simple, all I have to do is use one of my chess pieces on you and you'll be turned into a devil" as he spoke, he materialized a chess board with one side having all the pieces.
"What's chess?"
"It's a game similar to shogi"
"I don't have to eat that right?"
"No, why would you think that?"
"Then how else am I supposed to turn into a devil?"
"How would eating something turn you into anything?"
"Oh yeah?! Tell that to one piece!"
Naruto sweat-dropped "One, you read too much manga and two not everything associated with devils has to be eaten, drank or injected painfully into the body, we are not some sort of sadists"
Asuna rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment "Sorry so how do we do this?"
Naruto smirked "One thing you should know about devils is that we're very proficient in magic" as he finished he held his right hand towards to the blonde and closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them in surprise.
'Twelve pieces?! Unbelievable, does she have some sort of sacred gear? But that shouldn't be possible since this place is closed off from the human world… doesn't matter, it's a good thing that my queen, rook and bishop pieces are mutated' as he finished his thoughts, he made the chess board disappear and kept the queen piece.
"Now then Asuna-chan, since you are my first friend I want to use my best piece, which in this case is the queen piece, you see every piece has special characteristics, the specialty of the queen piece is that your strength, speed, durability and magic reserves will greatly increase… by the way the queen piece is also the most important piece, since their job is to protect the king" Naruto explained and the blonde blushed
'He's going to make me his queen?!' The blonde thought in embarrassment.
"Are you ready?" a nod was his answer, holding the queen piece to her chest, the devil started to chant the incantation to reincarnate her.
"I Naruto, hereby order you Asuna Uzumaki, heed me, you shall become my queen and rejoice in your newfound life as a devil!" After saying the incantation the piece seemed to dissolve into the blonde and a soft red glow enveloped her, after a few moments the glow disappeared and there stood the new Asuna Uzumaki a devil and queen to Naruto.
"Amazing, I feel so much stronger!" As she said those words bat-like wings erupted from her back.
"Congratulations Asuna-chan you are now a devil" Naruto said with a smile as he gauged her reserves and was surprised that they were three times larger!
'Getting control over that much demonic chakra is going to be a nightmare' Naruto thought as he internally pitied the blonde.
"Wow these things are so cool! How do I use these?" Asuna asked and shrieked in surprise as her wings seemed to have a life of their own and she blasted off to the sky.
Naruto shook his head with a smile as he blasted off after his queen.
"Kyaaaaaaaahhh!" Asuna screamed her lungs out as she continued to ascend to the sky but stopped when she felt two strong hands get a hold of her.
"You okay?" Naruto asked as he held her against himself and looked her in the eyes.
"…yeah" Asuna replied as she looked into the sapphire eyes of the raven haired devil.
"C'mon let's get you home. I'll explain about your powers tomorrow and I don't need to tell you, not to tell anyone about this, right" With a nod as his answer, a red teleportation circle appeared beneath the two and they vanished without a trace.
Later
It's been two weeks since the blonde kunoichi became a devil and Naruto could never be more proud of his decision.
After the night of revealing his secret and getting his first member, Naruto immediately started to educate Asuna about their race, history, the factions and magic.
Of course he also had to talk about his past which was a sore topic for him but after it was said and done, the two bonded even more through their suffering.
Teaching Asuna magic was his best accomplishment in his opinion since the blonde seemed to have a natural talent using the devil's brand of magic.
'Imagine it, will it and power it' those were the words that he had told her and she started making her own brand of magic the very next day.
Thought the only type of magic she was proficient at was using highly destructive and wide range wind based attacks or fire based projectile attacks.
Her reserves only made her that much more lethal, while she didn't have any competition when it came to reserves, she sorely lacked in close combat and overall using her magic more proficiently since she was a brawler.
The only reason he could beat her in spars was because of him utilizing his shadow magic for defense and evading, using ice magic to immobilize her movement and using the power of destruction in highly condensed spheres to counter her attacks.
Even in the great gap in reserves, stamina, power and durability didn't discourage him from trying to get stronger so that he can stand side by side with his queen because he didn't want to be left behind when she would eventually catch up to him in skill.
'I now have a queen but I still have fourteen pieces left, I need more allies if I'm going to survive in this world, this world of deceit, war and death… I will grow strong and one day return to the underworld to prove I'm not a failure and become the KING of hell!' Naruto thought in determination as he clenched his fists under the desk.
"Look Sasuke-kun is here! KYA!" screamed a fangirl as the horde of soul sucking mindless beasts gathered upon their prey the last loyal uchiha.
"Wait till our next spar teme, you're in for one hell of a surprise, hehehe" Asuna muttered ominously from beside her king.
The raven haired devil sighed and unclenched his fists; his life isn't easy but at least it's amusing.
'Maybe I should add the uchiha to my peerage? His sharingan from what I've heard can be quite useful'
END
OK chapter end, next chapter will be 'Getting a peerage'.
Tell me in the reviews of who you want him to add to his peerage and please no harem peerage, an actual peerage that Naruto would want.
Also should I make Sasuke a female, trust me I have an awesome plan on how to do it.
So this chapter delves a bit into Naruto's history and his personality from a third person view.
Naruto in canon had the handicap of no parents, no skill, no brains outside battle and no real goal or friends.
This Naruto is very similar, he doesn't have natural power or reserves so he has to rely on skill, brains and tactics instead of his canon self who had to rely on spamming. He doesn't really have parents, his dad's an idiot like Minato, he never really had friends and his goal is to become the king of hell, who according to dxd is the unofficial king of the underworld is the head of the bael clan.
Now onto the peerage, I have some slots already picked out and for the harem as well but suggestions are open.
Peerage:
King- Naruto
Queen- Asuna
Rook- Killer bee
Rook-?
Knight-?
Knight-?
Bishop- Gaara
Bishop-?
Pawn- Jiraiya
Pawn- Shikamaru
Other pawns- ?
Harem: Asuna, Rias, Akeno, Serafall, ?,?, ?.
Only three more can be added to the harem, so please ask and give a good reason and no NO DAMN HAKU!
