I cut out the lemon because it made me uncomfortable. Maybe later ill put back the lemons but for now. None at all unless someone wants to do them for me.
Also the reason both new updates were so late was because I was out on a boat despite being on break.
I notice that most people had the same problem I did when I read the original, how Naruto was coerced into joining. But I have a better alternative that will please people of both sides.
Chapter start.
Naruto was in a rather good mood despite the encounter earlier from school.
Why?
He was currently shacking up against both his girlfriends at school on the teacher's desk at night.
Currently both were kneeling down with their shirts open and their breasts grinding on him.
How unfortunate that his pleasure would be cut to a stop.
"Someone is coming." He got careless. In his pleasure he didn't notice in time.
"What?" the two girls exclaimed as softly as possible.
Then they were out of time. The door to the classroom opened. They turned in resignation towards the intruder.
"Ara ara?" One of the greatly admired idols of the school was both startled and turned on.
She had been wandering the streets for some personal fun time things when she noticed Naruto was at the school for some reason. They knew so little of Uzumaki Naruto that the opportunity to learn a bit more couldn't be wasted.
She found something amazing, but certainly nothing she would ever be expecting.
A topless Naruto with his crotch covered by the two topless beauties' breasts that from what she could see, were covered in….semen. She blushed.
Oh my, she seemed to have interrupted a threesome.
Even she wasn't capable of stopping the blush from staying on her cheeks. Her mouth also opened and closed a few times without any words coming out. What do you say in this situation?
Finally she managed to recover enough to formulate a comment. Smiling calmly, she raised a hand to her cheek as she remarked in her onee-sama voice, "How naughty of you three. But do not worry. I won't tell the teachers."
Naruto wasn't amused. Not only because his fun was stopped. He knew that she had a more devious reason for coming to him.
Feeling Naruto intense gaze on her, Akeno decided to beat a hasty retreat. This was a bit too awkward a situation to recover. Better wait for another opportunity. Plus, they, as in Rias, could use this information.
So Akeno closed the door after exclaiming, "I'll just leave you three to it."
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Naruto sighed as the class broke up. School had just ended, although for Naruto it had passed in a blur.
The previous night had ended badly. Murayama and Katase had been far too mortified to continue after Akeno left. Not only at being caught, but by who.
They idolized Akeno so much that to be caught by her in that situation was a nightmare. Naruto had understood. Despite having pushed them to do it in the first place, he understood when they actually didn't want to do something. So they had ended up dressing and going home. This left him with some rather bad blue balls that he was going to have them take care of today.
Naruto really wished Jiraiya had been at their house. He had really needed some advice on the current situation. He'd have to wait for tonight though.
Standing up himself, he walked over to Murayama and Katase. He then asked, "Meet after club like always?"
"Of course. We do it every day. You don't need to keep asking," Murayama replied quickly.
"What club will you be working with today, Naruto-kun?" Katase asked.
Naruto tapped his chin a few times in thought before answering, "I think the Tennis Club. Kiyome has been asking me to go again for a while."
"Of course she has," Murayama deadpanned.
Naruto just rolled his eyes.
Kiyome Abe was one of the girls he was closer to in the school. If he was honest, she was also one of the few girls he had considered as a serious candidate for his 'harem'. A third year and captain of the Tennis Club, Kiyome was both beautiful and Naruto got along with her well. She had a few weird mannerisms, but that only made her more unique in Naruto mind. He never felt in danger around her despite her secret.
But Naruto really wasn't in a rush to get another girlfriend. He was satisfied with what he already had. Although he had a feeling that would all change soon.
"Kyaa! Kiba-kun!"
Multiple girls squealed that out from the doorway. The three turned to watch in confusion. The discount Sasuke entered the room, calming the girls down. After scanning the room briefly, he caught sight of them and approached.
Stopping in front of them, he smiled before announcing, "Hello, Uzumaki-san, Ueda-san, Shimizu-san. I'm here on behalf of Rias Gremory-senpai. She wishes to speak with you three. She sent me to bring you to the clubroom."
Naruto resisted a scowl. He quickly replied stiffly, "Sorry, but we have clubs. We can't now."
"I'm sorry, but I must insist," Yuuto retorted, his fake ass smile not wavering. He quickly added, "You'll really want to hear what she has to say."
Naruto growled a slight bit in his throat, but knew he was trapped. It wasn't like they had a reason to refuse. When Rias Gremory asked to see someone, refusing just wasn't an option. Not in public like this.
"Fine," Naruto reluctantly said.
Still fucking smiling, Yuuto turned and started walking as he said, "Follow me."
As they traversed the hallways, Murayama and Katase were whispering to each other. Murayama groaned out, "Oh no, it has to be about last night." Both were horrified about being confronted by this by their idols.
"Yeah, Akeno-oneesama is in Rias-oneesama's club. She must have told her," Katase muttered.
"How embarrassing," Murayama whispered as she covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.
"What do they want to talk to us for?" Katase asked anxiously.
Despite the twin feelings of embarrassment and the lone feeling of anger, they obediently followed Yuuto.
The discount bastard led them into the forest to the old school building, which was the building the furthest back into the school. The old school building was an aged building that could use a new coat of paint. It was even labeled as one of the 'seven wonders of the school'. Despite its aged appearance though, Naruto failed to notice any broken windows or structural issues. It wasn't pretty, but it was solid.
That was Naruto's thought until they entered. While the outside was run down, the inside was immaculate. The hardwood floors were polished, and the paint on the walls not faded in the least. The stark contrast was only more suspicious. If enough care was put in to make the inside so nice, why wasn't the outside touched up a bit? It was almost as if they wanted the other students to avoid the building. A disguise to prevent unwanted company.
Naruto's thoughts were put to a stop when Yuuto came to a stop before a door. Knocking, he called in, "Buchou. I brought them."
"Yes, come in."
Yuuto then opened the door, and Naruto had to physically stop himself from recoiling. Naruto increased his sensory skill greatly, to be on par of that girl with glasses that Sasuke once had around him, apparently sensing was one of the Uzumaki skills, like chakra chains.
But the damn power in the room was flowing.
Even Murayama and Katase seemed aware of it on some level, both stepping behind Naruto slightly.
Alert, Naruto reluctantly stepped into the room. He quickly scanned the room. The lighting in the room was slightly dim as it was only lit by a few candles, the window being closed. Otherwise it was actually a very nice room. Very large, it was in a Victorian style. There were chairs along the wall, but the main seating seemed centered around two couches and a large desk. Weirdly, there was what appeared to be a shower in the corner. What drew much of Naruto's attention were the strange symbols. Several small ones were placed on the walls, but the main one was a weird circle type symbol on the ground. Naruto felt an unusual concentration of energy from it. The other sources of the energy were the occupants.
Rias smiled at them calmly. She then stated warmly, "Thank you for coming. I have some very important business to discuss with you. Firstly, we should do introduction. "
Yuuto smiled at them and gave a small bow as he said, "My name is Kiba Yuuto, second year. Pleased to meet you."The fake prince was a very handsome guy. Even Naruto could admit that. Blonde hair like Naruto's, gray eyes, and a small mole under his left eye. He was much slimmer than Naruto
"Toujou Koneko, first year," a quiet voice spoke up. Naruto looked at the speaker. It was a girl with a very small build. Standing at just 4 foot 6 inches, the top of her head wouldn't even come up to Naruto's shoulder. Naruto really had difficulty believing she was 15 years old. She looked 12 or 13. Koneko had unique white hair that was done in a bob cut except for two longer bangs that framed her face. Two black, cat-shaped hair pins were on each side of her head. Her hazel eyes were more yellow than Murayama's hazel eyes
"Ufufufu, Himejima Akeno. Third year." The sadist introduced herself.
"Rias Gremory, also a third year. I'm also the president of the Occult Research Club." The red head smiled.
Katase automatically bowed and said, "Shimizu Katase. Second year. Kendo Club."
"Ueda Murayama. Second year. Also the Kendo Club."
"Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto grunted out shortly.
"Great. Please take a seat. Akeno will make you some tea," Rias declared with her bewitching smile.
The three nervously sat together on one of the couches. They then nervously looked between the others there. Akeno quickly served them some tea. While Naruto automatically didn't drink it, both Murayama and Katase were quick to sip at it.
"I once again want to thank you for coming, and I apologize for any inconvenience it might cause," Rias started.
"Can you just get to the point of why you called us here?" Naruto asked somewhat rudely. He wasn't in the mood to hear pleasantries. Not now of all times. Damnit why did Jiraiya never warn him about these situations.
Katase quickly elbowed him in the ribs and ordered, "Manners, Naruto-kun."
Rias just watched this in slight amusement, unbothered by Naruto's demand. It was expected. The amusement faded to cold calculation as she focused back on him though.
It was impossible for anyone supernaturally aware to ignore Naruto forever. His level of raw power was ridiculous, in fact the only way to miss it would be within the cloud of power as it practically made it impossible for those too weak to sense him.
Both Rias and Sona had taken note of him as soon as he started school at Kuoh.
Neither Rias nor Sona had recruited him for two reasons. The first reason was the lack of information on him. Uzumaki Naruto was a true unknown to both of them. Naruto's level of power was not natural. Even the greatest freak of nature humanity had ever produced wouldn't have such a high power level naturally. He couldn't be unaware of his power. He had to of been trained, experimented on, guided. Something. Which meant he had an important past. Without knowing that past it was impossible to estimate his abilities, allegiance, feeling on devils, etc. Peerages were so important to the power and influence of a devil that the idea of recruiting an unknown like Naruto would be considered foolhardy.
Secondly, he was willful. While not outright rebellious or obstinate, everyone knew Uzumaki Naruto lived life by his own pace. If anything, the people around him tended to be drawn into his rhythm. Now it wasn't a totally bad thing in a peerage member. Mindless drones were very rarely useful, but a servant that was unwilling to bow their head or listen to orders wasn't all that ideal either.
Kings needed to have a certain amount of over their peerages for a number of reasons. In Rating Games sacrifices were necessary. Plans needed to be followed. Kings were also responsible for their servants. The actions of servants reflected on their kings. A servant simply wasn't allowed to do what they wanted. They had to follow rules. Follow social custom.
All together neither Sona nor Rias had been willing to recruit him. Sona had actually expressed that she would have liked to but thought the blonde would not accept anyway and that she did not want to use so many pieces. Sona was a bit more authoritative and meticulous than Rias, so Naruto hadn't been anywhere close to her ideal servant. Rias thought about recruiting him sooner or later. She had simply been focusing on Issei, but with Issei now out of the picture she had no other options.
Getting back into the moment, Rias informed the three, "Akeno told me of what she had seen. Am I correct in assuming you three are in a form of relationship?"
Both Katase and Murayama blushed in embarrassment, but Naruto wasn't going to back down. He just grunted out, "Got a problem with it?"
"Not at all," Rias claimed immediately. Smiling kindly at the girls surprised looks and the blank look she continued, "I was simply curious. A person having multiple lovers isn't at all uncommon where I come from."
"And where is that?" Murayama asked curiously. While it was said Rias came from Northern Europe, no one knew precisely where.
"It is actually a place called the Underworld. You see," Rias started. Every member of the Occult Research Club revealed their wings. Rias then finished, "We are devils. And I would like to ask you to join my peerage."
Chaos broke out after that. That was all Naruto needed to hear in order to act. He knew what the rest of what was going to happen.
He and Jiraiya would have to be completely fucking stupid to not notice at all that the supernatural existed in the time they were there. Sure the supernatural hid themselves, but it was only the complete ignorance of the normal people that kept them a secret. Considering the power and influence the supernatural had, how could they stay a secret when two heroes jump planets?
The two of them were on good terms with what Naruto referred to as the Shinto faction. He met some of those that called themselves devils and they did NOT get on his good side.
He kept this part of the world a secret mostly on Jiraiya's orders, though he wished he didn't have to.
Quickly, Naruto summoned a shadow clone each to protect his girlfriends, then another one to go to Rias. The last one got behind her and wrapped her arms together with some wire as he held a kunai to her.
The clones brought all three to the outside.
How did they reach the outside so quickly? Naruto straight up launched the couch he was on through the walls.
Naruto cracked his hands as Rias' peerage jumped out the busted wall.
Not wasting time, he didn't allow them to prepare themselves as yellow chains emerged from the ground and constricted the devils. Unknown to all the chains were connected to him by the soles of his feet.
"Wait!" the red headed girl was calm.
At least outwardly she was. Inside was a different story. This was the first time that she experienced this type of pressure. She was trying not to break out in a cold sweat.
This was what she had meant about Naruto being a complete unknown. It would have been very helpful to know Naruto might react like this. It would have also been helpful to know he was capable of cloning himself. The surprise of that trick had allowed him to gain the advantage over Rias.
"We did not call you here to fight," Rias said to Naruto and continued, "I assure you, I did not call you here with any ill intent."
"I know devils. You are supposed to be evil and wicked," Naruto pointed out.
"Devils are a race, just like humans. We cannot be summarized in a few words. We are as capable of goodness and we are wickedness, just like humans," Rias reasoned coolly. "I just called you here to talk." Naruto resisted the urge to call her out on her bullshit. Devils were devils, they could only show so many human traits before their own came out.
"Then talk!" Naruto barked.
"It isn't exactly a conversation that can be held with your knife at my neck," Rias claimed.
"Well I don't think I care enough about what you want right now. I think we'll just leave," Naruto declared.
"Hold on, Naruto-kun," Katase said from off on the side. "I think we should at least listen to her."
Grimacing, the clone holding Katase commented, "You can't be serious."
"I agree with Katase, Naruto-kun," Murayama quickly added before explaining, "It is clear she just wants to talk to us. You are the one that jumped the gun and started a fight."
"While the whole devil thing is shocking, I think we should give them a chance. You are a ninja after all. So you can't judge a book by its cover," Katase pitched in. Rias didn't miss her comment about Naruto being a ninja, and filed that away for later. Naruto also noticed that Rias noticed and swore.
He really should have talked to Jiraiya about this. But he thought that the lack of approachment in the first few months was enough for him to never be approached.
Naruto thought it over. If he wanted to find out what they wanted, he would have to let her go, but not her peerage. And his chains could skewer them at any moment.
The clone shoved Rias to her chained peerage.
"No. Only you." He said when she looked at him.
She rubbed her neck. That was one of the most uncomfortable situations of her life, but it seemed to have turned out well enough. She really would have to consider how she recruits new members though. While she could forgive Naruto's actions, she certainly wasn't keen to the idea of being attacked by all her potential peerage members. Sona probably wouldn't have made such a blunder.
She was able to confirm a few things though. One, Naruto is definitely powerful and trained. Her peerage had been surprised, but he still managed very well.
She also confirmed the path to gaining Naruto as a peerage member was through Katase and Murayama. They were able to convince Naruto to stay. If she can get them, then Naruto was sure to follow. All the rumors of Naruto portrayed him as loyal and dependable. He was in a relationship with these two, and it was clearly serious for him to be so protective.
She hated being so manipulative, but as a king she sometimes had to think logically.
It certainly helped that they were good pawn material as well. They had always been on the list of potential peerage members, just very low on the list. Good physical abilities, decent in kendo, reasonably intelligent, and above average magical potential. In recent months their potential had only increased. Definitely due to their relationship with Naruto.
Naruto was a very powerful individual. There was an accepted saying among the supernatural community. 'Power begets power.' Not only had history repeatedly shown that powerful individuals gravitate together, but it was well known that powerful individuals make those around them powerful as well.
The problem with Katase and Murayama hadn't ever been potential or talent. It had been a lack of proper training and knowledge. So Naruto's inclusion in their life had simply increased the talent and potential that had always been there.
Sona would have snatched them up if it wasn't for their close relationship to Naruto. If they were now given the proper training and knowledge they would almost certainly become magnificent devils.
Naruto was the real prize here though. They were simply bonuses.
Coughing to clear her throat, Rias started explaining to the three, "A quick history lesson is needed. Have any of you three ever read the Bible?" When all three shook their heads, she continued, "Well much of what is written in the Bible is true. In it the Three Factions are discussed. The Biblical God created angels as his servants. When angels fall to sin, they turn into fallen angels. The Biblical God cast these fallen angels down to the Underworld, the home of devils. Humans refer to the Underworld as 'Hell.' In turn, the fallen angels started a war with devils over control of the Underworld. All the while the angels worked to eliminate both devils and fallen angels. This created a three way standoff that has since been referred to as 'The Great War.' The Great War eventually ended in a stalemate. There was no peace, but each faction had been bloodied to the point that no one wanted to continue fighting. There are still skirmishes today, but no large scale battles."
"As I said, the Three Factions were greatly weakened by the Great War. Devils especially suffered as a civil war occurred soon after the end of the war. The Old Satan Faction, which wanted to continue the war, were defeated by the Anti-Satan Faction, which wanted peace. The civil war cost the devil race so many lives that the future of the entire race was called into question. Devils reproduce very slowly. With so few numbers, it was uncertain whether we could even produce enough children for the next generation. As an answer to this dilemma Beelzebub-sama, one of the Four Great Satans, created the Evil Piece system."
"If we do not have enough devils, then let's simply create more. That was the idea behind the Evil Piece system. The Evil Pieces allows high-class devils, like myself, to reincarnate a certain number of other beings into devils. Specifically, fifteen. Fifteen reincarnated devils, which would form my 'peerage'," Rias explained to them. Leaning forward, Rias confirmed his thoughts by stating, "I called you here to offer you three a proposition. Become devils in my peerage."
"You wish to turn us into devils?" Naruto demanded stiffly. That wasn't good.
"Yes," Rias replied simply. She then calmly elaborated, "I understand the idea might sound unpleasant or even repulsive, but becoming a devil has many benefits."
"What benefits exactly? It seems our idea of devils isn't exactly accurate, so can you give us a clarification on what exactly becoming devils would mean for us?" Murayama asked, carefully choosing every word.
Rias was happy with the question. Both Katase and Murayama looked cautious, but still interested overall. Not a surprise. What high school student didn't wish for an exciting life?
"There would be a number of physical benefits. The reincarnation process physically changes you into devils. The process isn't perfect for a number of species, but it is for humans. While devils look human and are even physically compatible humans, our bodies are generally superior. You would become stronger, faster, and more durable. You could see in the dark, and all your senses would be enhanced. You would also gain access to demonic power, which can be used to perform a form of magic. You would be able to fly through the use of wings. A benefit that many humans care about is an increased lifespan. Devils can easily live for a thousand years, and living two or three millennia isn't impossible for a devil," Rias explained before continuing, "There are a number of other advantages as well. As a member of my peerage, you would technically be a part of the Gremory Clan. As one of the remaining pillar families, the Gremory Clan is one of the most powerful families in the Underworld. You would gain financial support if needed, and we would be able to provide aid in other ways as well. You would also be given ownership of a territory within our land in the Underworld."
Murayama and Katase seemed very interested now. That was a lot of benefits. Naruto…not so much.
"And what about the cons?" Naruto asked suspiciously. That was a little bit too much if there wasn't also some downsides. He would have her tell the cons to try to dissuade the two human girls. He was sure they wouldn't accept if it meant being slaves.
Rias frowned, but still answered honestly, "Firstly, as a member of my peerage you would be my servant. Not like a butler or maid, but there would be duties you would be obligated to fulfill. Not to mention you would have to obey our laws. As a devil, you would also gain our enemies and weaknesses as well. Even without war occurring, angels and fallen angels are always a threat to devils. Devils have a weakness to light. Ordinary sunlight will weaken new or less powerful devils. Angels and fallen angels also utilize a powerful form of light magic which both burns and poisons devils. The Biblical God also created the Heaven System, which punishes devils when interacting with objects or places associated with him such as churches, crosses, holy water, and the Bible."
"So you would not only be enslaving us, but dragging us into a war which doesn't concern us?" Naruto questioned critically. He knew most of this already, but he wanted to hear things from the devils standpoint.
"Firstly, there is no war. We have enemies, but I have no plans to be dragging you off to life and death battles anytime soon," Rias stated quickly. She then continued firmly, "I also wouldn't be enslaving you. You would be my servant. Not a slave. There is a difference."
"Can you tell us more about devils as a whole? If we would becoming a devils, what things would we need to know?" Katase questioned.
Naruto didn't like this. It looked like the two were still interested.
Nodding, Rias informed them, "Devils are divided into classes based on strength and rank. Low-class, mid-class, high-class, and ultimate-class. I am a high-class devil. Everyone else in my peerage is a low-class devil. All reincarnated devils start out as low-class devils, but you can eventually gain the ability to promote to the next rank. If you ever reached the rank of high-class you would be able to petition for your own set of Evil Pieces. If you ever reached ultimate-class, you would be given your very own territory in the Underworld."
"The complete leaders of the devil race are the Four Great Satans. Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan, and Asmodeus. Under them are the 72 pillar families. Currently only 34 pillar families remain. Pure-blood devils, the children of pillar families are automatically classified as high-class devils. I myself am a high-class devil as I am the heiress of the Gremory Clan."
"What about this peerage thing? There has to be more to it," Murayama asked.
"The Evil Piece system was created to emulate chess. The high-class devil, myself in this case, is the king. The fifteen members of my peerage consist of the queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns," Rias announced.
"What is the difference?" Katase asked.
Rias explained the system. From what she could tell Naruto already knew all this.
"What piece were you planning to make us?" Murayama asked. The question ended up sounding like she had already decided.
"Pawns," Rias answered simply. Seeing their disappointed faces, Rias asked in amusement, "You think that pawns aren't a good piece?"
"Well, aren't they?" Murayama asked while rubbing her neck awkwardly. "Pawns are usually sacrificed as…well, pawns."
"While that is somewhat true, I actually didn't tell you everything about pawn pieces," Rias claimed in amusement. She clarified, "Pawns are technically the weakest pieces on the board, but they are also the most versatile. When used correctly, they can even decide the game. The special ability of pawns is the ability of 'promotion'. When a pawn enters deep into enemy territory or is given permission by their king, they can promote into any other piece besides the king. So while other pieces are fixed, the pawn has the ability to change depending on the situation. A skilled pawn is just as valuable as any other."
"I see. I think we have enough information for now. We'll think about it," Naruto said. He just wanted to go.
Rias quickly cut him off by announcing, "Actually, you'll need to make a decision on this before leaving."
"What?!"
"We aren't allowed to tell just anyone all this. It won't matter if you choose to become a devil, but that isn't the case if you decline. We can't simply let you go after learning about the supernatural world," Rias informed them.
"I thought you said you meant us no harm?" Naruto demanded, his body tensing from her words.
"I don't. We won't harm you. We'll simply place a memory modification spell on you. You'll leave under the belief that we had tea," Rias quickly claimed, seeing his body tense as well.
Rias had to hold back her flinch from the anger in Naruto's eyes. Clearly he knew what she was really doing. She was striking while the iron was hot. It was clear that both Murayama and Katase were likely to accept her proposition. By demanding an answer now, she was preventing them from leaving to think about it more. Naruto would surely point out the downsides of becoming a devil. Once the excitement and wonder wore off, the chance of them accepting was lessened. She wasn't going to allow that.
Underhanded, but it was for the best. She could lessen Naruto's anger and earn his trust later. For now she had to ensure there would be a later.
"You are in no position to make demands girl. I still have your peerage locked up."
Her eyes widened as she turned around to see her peerage being squeezed harder. She forgot them in her focus on Naruto.
Feeling a pull on his sleeve, Naruto looked down to see Katase looking up at him. He was sure what she was going to say next.
"Let's do it, Naruto-kun."
Fuck. He just knew it.
Murayama quickly added, "I think we should too. Think about it, Naruto-kun. Devils, living so long. The thought of becoming a devil is kind of creepy, but it should be alright. Why shouldn't we?"
The excitement of it all was acting like a drug right now. Both Murayama and Katase had told him they wished for a life filled with more…wonder and adventure. This was their chance. Right now they'd probably be willing to pay any price. Maybe if Naruto had the time to calm them down he could convince them, but right now? No way. They were decided.
And if Katase and Murayama were going to join, Naruto didn't have a choice. He certainly wasn't going to leave them. Especially with all this devil business. Yeah, Naruto was kind of trapped here.
But Naruto was stubborn. He didn't just fight his whole life for acceptance only to have it ripped apart by some girl-who probably hasn't even killed yet-trying to manipulate him. But it wasn't going to work.
While jiraiya never warned him what to do around the heiress in this situation (while he was sure threatening definitely wasn't one of them) the pervert did tell him to remember to never accept any offers that anyone made.
They were shinobi of the Hidden Leaf. Joining any faction in the entire supernatural was essentially shitting all over their headbands. (which he would never do as it was Irukas). The alliance with the Shinto was one thing as the Shinto were the ones to approach them with some of the knowledge to help them get home. And also because they were desperate for information.
What Rias was asking him to do, even if she did it UNKNOWINGLY. Was to give up everything he was, even his loved ones next to him and at home, just to serve her.
But it was more than that.
Naruto fucking stayed true to his beliefs. He was going to become HO-FREAKING-KAGE. Nobody was ever gonna make him stray from his ninja way.
THE VILLAGERS FUCKING COULDN'T.
HIS CLASSMATES FUCKING COULDN'T.
HIS ENEMIES SURE AS HELL FUCKING COUDLN'T.
AND THERE WAS NO. FUCKING. WAY. IN ALL OF EXISTENCE.
He calmed down inwardly. No way at all, that this self-entitled bitch would do it. Not even his loved ones could make him stray. The two girls were gonna be mad at him no doubt. But if they couldn't accept his reasoning…..maybe they weren't the ones for him anyways. If they loved him, even this opportunity would not change things.
He was the Number One Hyperactive, Knucklehead Ninja. The ninja that was so stubborn, even the word GIVE UP, had given up on making him give up.
His life in Konoha was not the best. So what? People in both worlds had it worse than him. Just because something seems better, doesn't make it a greater.
True, Rias was not the worst one that could have approached them. But that didn't make it alright for him to just give everything up and serve her.
"No." he said simply. Rias was gobsmacked while his girlfriends frowned.
"Listen, it isn't anything personal, but I have my own duties, I don't know what has you so desperate that you approached now of all times, but there is no way that I would ever serve you." His sensing skills could tell that her energy was fluctuating in a nervous and desperate manner.
He turned to his girlfriends as the clones protecting them poofed. "I know you two want this, but you need to understand that I just can't follow in your steps. Regardless of your decision, I will always love and support you. But before you join, get ALL the facts from Gremory. Don't make a misinformed decision."
He didn't want them to make that mistake. They were civilians like Sakura. They would only see the good parts. They weren't like him, he knew exactly what he was in for the entire time he wanted to be shinobi. It hurt to do this, but he had no choice. The Gremory clan would at least keep them safe.
He let the chains dissipate as he left to go home. He needed to find Jiraiya.
The two girls looked at the club. "What is he talking about?"
Rias sighed as her head dropped. This was a failure. She never expected him to refute but still give his support for the two girls.
"There is indeed a reason that I came to you three now. The truth is, I was indeed desperate."
She explained the situation, maybe later they could convince Naruto if she asked.
F.U.C.K.I.N.G. DONE.
So if you think that Naruto is just gonna leave rias high and dry, be disappointed.
Remember, reviews get chapter quicker, the only reason this wasn't out sooner was due to complications with not being at my laptop.
