Chapter 2
The Hero and New Additions
Current time (9 months later)
Today Alicia had woken up, naked, from her rest from a stressful last few days with her king.
"Good morning, Lady Alicia."
Alicia glanced over and saw a maid, a dog yokai, holding a beautiful kimono.
"Here are your clothes for the day." She said with a peppy smile, her tail wagging. "I believe your master will find you adorable in this."
"Well go fu..." Alicia started to say.
"You have to be nice to the people who work here." Naruto told her after he scolded her for attacking one of the workers for complimenting her butt.
The maid blinked as she watched Alicia take a deep breath as she stood up, the blanket falling from her tan and tattooed body.
"Thank you," Alicia said in forced politeness, her eye twitching. "Leave it on the chair please."
"Alright." The maid said happily, her tail wagging to show her excitement.
She put the kimono on the chair before she bowed and left the room.
Alicia looked at the kimono.
An image of her wearing it appeared in her mind. Her dark skin and tattoos with her hair tied up in a bun similar to a geisha.
Naruto appeared and took her hand, caressing it gently as he cupped her face.
Alicia turned red and tapped her face, the images vanishing.
'Stupid!' she berated before she grabbed her cloth binding for her chest. 'There is no way I would wear something that girly. Besides, Naruto wouldn't like it… or would he?'
She glanced at the kimono again.
'Maybe… I'll wear it for a special occasion.'
Exiting her room in her usual attire after dressing, Alicia could see some of the Yokai that were glaring at her and whispering,
"Devil Scum."
"Yasaka-sama should just banish them from our lands."
"Why do we allow them to walk around our homes? They are only going to break into them and force us to become one of their own?"
"I heard a rumor that it was the King of the peerage that raped Yasaka-sama in order to keep them in the tow-ack!" Alicia heard this one, within seconds slammed her fist into the man's stomach. She growled,
"Insinuate my king does things like that and regardless of who you are I will kill you!" Her black and blue aura was flaring around her body and the group quickly ran while the man she punched scrambled away. Her dark gray eyes with slits glared at the Yokai sending them running not before turning and shouting,
"The Elders will hear of this!" Alicia snorted,
"Pussy." Alicia turned and started walking back down the long hallway of the palace.
This was a big step up from where she was once, growing up in a cave with her mother and sometimes visited by her father. She would sleep on the cold ground, stones as pillows.
Now she was sleeping in beds that were almost the size of the room, silk sheets, and incredibly soft mattresses and pillows. It was amazing to behold that this was the change in less than a week after becoming Naruto's Queen.
But not to say this was going over swimmingly given that most Yokai that are serving under the Elders opposed them being in the palace let alone the city. Plus, when word broke out that Yasaka was pregnant and that the father was a human, well the Elders sure made their opinions be known.
Flash Back Begins
Naruto was standing in the back of the room with his eyes closed wearing his fancy Kimono while Alicia was standing next to him with her arms also crossed. More she was irritated with the shouting of a particularly old fox woman that had four tails swishing behind her while the other elders were joining in the protest.
"Yasaka-sama how could you not tell us that you were dating someone or looking for a mate!" The blond hair woman scoffed,
"I feel no need to explain myself to the rest of you. As it is my personal life and I can do as I please." The elder frowned,
"I'm afraid not with the death of your parents and the fact that there are almost no Kyubi's left we must be informed if you are doing things like this. That way we can plan properly or pair you with the best possible choice at hand."
Naruto rolled his eyes.
They claim to not be the same as devils but it is all the same. As long as it keeps bloodlines pure or powerful who cares about personal feelings and emotions?
"Again, what is your point? I'm with child already and there is nothing we can do about that." The woman shook her head,
"Actually, there are methods of exterminating the pregnancy, we only need to bring the priestess here and she can exterminate the abomination inside of you. That way we can have your future husband putting a worthy child into you and granting the affection you desire." Nodding her head, the doors opened and Naruto saw an eight-tailed kitsune with brown hair and black eyes walking into the room with a smug smile on his face. Naruto didn't need to use powers as he sensed this guy was full of himself and thinking he was hot shit.
"Really Kuroh you are pushing for this?" Yasaka knew this eight-tail he was the most vocal about marrying her in the previous few years. More so, he wanted to bed the legendary Kyubi and implement a system of dominance over his wife or concubine as most considered her for his respective ideology.
"Why Yasaka-chan you should know that I'm the best suited mate for you. After all, with the dwindling numbers of the Kitsune clan there is no one better than an eight tail with exceptional talent to be your mate." He frowned at the devils in the back of the room, "Also once dealing with the child we can talk about some of your more recent policies and guests."
Alicia growled and was about deck the asshole, but Yasaka growled and flared her aura to the rest of the room.
"You forget your place, I'm the ruler of Kyoto! Who I let stay in the city is no concern of yours and if you have a problem with this your more than welcomed to take it up with the Shinto Pantheons that allow this to happen! More so, you dare consider yourself my equal what a joke! Even without the Ley-Lines you would not be even close to my power or near my equal!" She glared at the elders, "This mindset is the exact reason that I wish to change our world for the better, so things like this are not a problem and force marriages are not a concern. My word is final, I will not be marrying him and I will not be aborting my child and the devil's staying here are not causing a problem and thus are free to stay here dismissed."
"But Yasaka-sama!" She turned and glared at the room,
"I SAID DISMISSED!"
Flash Back End
From this time, Alicia had noticed that Kuroh was found around the grounds more often than not talking to the elders and the guard. From what she could hear it was more along the lines trying to figure out how to get close to Yasaka. She had reported this to her and she had guards on standby at all times while also having her own personal doctor that she trusted with her life and the life of her child. They were more focused on doing her will instead of following the ideals of the old and the dead.
Alicia found this refreshing but knew that the elders were not done, more and more protests from them were coming out with both her and her king being in the city with evil pieces. More were demanding they leave, others for them be killed, and many wanted them to just disappear. But many feared that being in Kyoto and then leaving they would ally with their enemies and thus feared their departure more than they hated them and wanted them out in fear they can help other races break into the city or worse, work for their sworn enemy.
Alicia was brought out of her thoughts when she was sitting down and saw the food was now dished out to her and her king. Looking down she saw the food was traditional Japanese breakfast (Imagine what you want of some kind fish dish and soup). Yasaka was sitting at the head of the table looking ready to burst from the pregnancy with her guards on standby and showing they are vigilant against those that dare to come near the leader.
More in the sense, Kuroh who is making it no mystery that he wanted her to abort the child as it was not his and wants to force a child in her. The guards had different opinions and Naruto was always there to make sure he didn't try anything stupid. But even he was not that stupid as doing so would get him and the elders in trouble with the people and more than likely spark another civil war one this time would be them against the rest of the people loyal to Yasaka.
"Naruto-kun what do you and Alicia plan to do today?" The devil tilted his head and sighed,
"Probably head out to the outskirts to spar a little bit honestly. Alicia wants to test out some new moves on me and I want to see if I got my new fighting style down yet." She smiled,
"Alright but please make sure you are back before sundown as this is when THEY start coming out."
"Don't worry," Naruto pushed his tray away finishing eating, "We'll both be careful and no matter what I'll be with you when your daughter is born." She smiled,
"Thank you Naruto-kun." He nodded his head before turning to Alicia who pushed her food away being finished herself,
"Let's go." She nodded her head and soon they headed into town, where there Naruto stopped off at a high-end tailor shop. He walked in past the flap and shouted,
"Hey is my request finished yet?" Standing there was a beaver Yokai,
"Yeah wasn't easy I tell you but I got it finished. Please try it on to make sure I got the size right."
Naruto nodded his head before walking into the changing room with a big bag in hand. They waited a few minutes before he walked out for all to see and even Alicia had to lick her lips liking what she saw.
Standing there was Naruto but he was wearing a new outfit of a white jacket and pants and black shoes and on the jacket was a lady bug broach on each side of his chest. Inside of the jacket she saw a sleeveless shirt with the symbol of male in there and a black tank-top hugging his budding muscles tightly. On his head was a white headband with the mark of Yasaka on it in the form of a nine-tail fox (Jotaro's Kujo's outfit from Part 4 with Giorno's Lady bug broach).
Even at the age of 13 he was still showing the hunk he would become and with his muscles define in the outfit most would find him pretty impressive for his age. That and thanks to the training the Yokai are putting him through he has shown drastic changes in his body showing that he has grown several inches from before being almost 5'11.
Overall quite the impressive frame for all things considered.
"So, what do you think Alicia?" She smiled,
"It fits your personality." Naruto smiled,
"Good I'm glad this is money well spent, thanks sir." He smiled,
"No problem just make sure to care for that outfit you hear me? Due to the magic you'll be able to wear it for the rest of your life got it?" He nodded his head, left the money on the front desk, and both he and Alicia walked out of the store before proceeding down the street. Naruto's mind started drifting, thanks to his powers he has gained a new life to live for. Hell, he felt stronger than most and had high hopes for the future but sadly, there was still the problems here and the Underworld.
With the deaths of the heirs he knew he was in serious trouble and that his brother seeing his power would only put a bigger target on his back. He could only sigh knowing that he is missing his baby sister and her next birthday, on top of that it was his fault for not saying anything. After all what was a child supposed to do in this situation? He could have told his parents about this and maybe get the kids to leave him alone but there were not any assurances of this. At best they did but he came across as a child relying on his family to solve all his problems and that was an image he wanted to avoid at his age.
Another thing is that if it didn't work, they would have bullied him worse and that it would just increase in the intensity to the point they might have killed him sooner. While he did regret not telling someone sooner, he did think he made the best choice at the time.
'I wonder how everyone is doing back home?'
Underworld
Sirzechs had always been fair, kind, and everything that was not the previous Lucifer. But he felt for the first time, he knew what it was like to be the old Lucifer, having to deal with stuff like this. Dealing with clans that thought they were above the laws and could do as they please as their family would protect them from all crimes coming their way. Worse, they were targeting his former clan and he was furious since it was against his little brother, the brother that fled the underworld to who knows where. He was angry at Grayfia for not saying things sooner but remember she was only doing as ordered and since Naruto was a Gremory that meant doing as he asked. She would have talked to him if things got out of control but it seemed this was going even under her radar for some time. However, then that brought up his power, it was familiar in feeling similar to that of Senjutsu. Something he learned about from his own Bishop (Not Kuroka, another OC) who was a master of Senjutsu and a former Yokai that fought in the civil war years ago. He had tried to figure out why his brother had a power similar to this but Grayfia and Ajuka theorized that it was a mutation that happened to him when he was born thus instead of erasing everything, he could create anything. This left him proud his brother had a way to stand out but was more focused on the clans before him.
These were the parents of the children that had bullied his brother and were now begging for him to punish Naruto for his crime of killing their children. But he would not hear this,
"So, let me understand you want me to punish my brother, my flesh and blood that has never bothered anyone in his life for defending himself? Fighting against those that dared to bully him and ridicule him just because he did not tattle on your children to me to avoid more problems with others his age? Is that what I'm hearing right?" The clan head of one of the family's stood up.
"My lord your brother murdered our heirs, brother or not he is to be held accountable."
"Your right but the thing is that I don't know where he is and at the same time after killing him, I learned EVERYTHING that was said and done to him over the years. So, guess what I'm not going to be punishing him for this but punish him for not telling me or the rest of the family sooner. But for now, I'm here to punish all of you for your crimes against me and my family. As of this moment all of your clans are stripped of their nobility, your children and grandchildren can earn their own nobility through traditional means of rankings but nothing else. You are forbidden from becoming nobles and will be paying recompense for what you have done to my brother."
"Lord Lucifer this is unjust against our clans!" Sirzechs slammed his fist down on and broke the arm rest on his throne with his eyes glowing with the Power of Destruction,
"UNJUST! Don't talk to me about that! You have 24 hours to clear your homes and lands now begone!" The clans were dragged out of the throne room while Sirzechs took some calming breath and head home through teleportation to see Grayfia consoling his mother. She was a brown hair woman with a gifted figure and large breasts. She was the most distraught to heard what happened to Naruto and feared the worst for him. Of everyone in the family she was the closest to him for one reason or another and the person that he spent the most time with as a child. His father on the other hand was nowhere to be seen and that was not something he was surprised about at this time. More so since after his brother's birth he always looked at him with disappointment. Maybe because he expected him to measure up to himself or something along the lines of not having anything special that was known about him until he fled. Either way, his father was a real asshole to Naruto and distant to the point no one knew why he despised him so much.
Venelana seeing her son return she jumped to her feet with tears,
"Have you found him yet Sirzechs?" He sighed,
"No, from the spies and others he is nowhere in the Underworld and at the same time we can't track him as his power seems to be more Senjutsu based."
"Meaning what!?"
"Without someone experienced in Senjutsu we can't possibly track him. It is the one thing that magic users can't pick up on."
Venelana crashed to the floor again and was in tears,
"What am I supposed to tell Rias in the future about Naruto-kun?" The doors opened, revealing Lord Gremory,
"Nothing, for now he does not exist. We can't have our family associated to this incident." Sirzechs frowned,
"You can't be serious father." He frowned at his son questioning him,
"As tragic as it is, he did not behave as one of the Gremory family should have thus we can't worry about him. Rias is the new heiress and thus with the marriage proposal I've gotten from the Phenex clan we shall soon be bringing in a new generation of devils." Sirzechs frowned deepened,
"You didn't think to bring us into this choice."
"As Lucifer this is no longer your concern."
"As a brother it is my concern. Who did you engage her to in the Phenex family?"
"Why does it-,"
"Who father." The man remained quiet for a minute,
"Riser Phenex." Sirzechs's frowned deepened to the point it was turning into a scowl.
"You can't be serious that boy is nothing more than a horn dog already. You want to put her in an arrangement with him of all people in the underworld?"
"As I said it is already done, she will marry him when she turns 20." Lord Gremory left the room with a huff and Lady Gremory was furious with her husband and Sirzechs was thinking of just vaporizing the man. While he might have been his father years ago, he had changed and it was not for the better of anyone.
"Mother I will see what I can do about this but please, protect Rias I fear what he is doing." She nodded her head and her aura returned around her,
"I failed Naruto-kun but I will not fail my sweet daughter I will make sure of it even if I have to kill Riser Phenex and your father to do it." Sirzechs smiled,
"Good while this is happening, I will see if I can find Naruto and meet with him please be safe mom." She nodded her head and he returned to his office the family not knowing that things were going to change in the years to come and some not for the better.
The Outcast rumor soon spread among the Underworld and only those part of the older generation knew of the child that murdered some heirs with an unknown power and soon fled from the realm. He was whispered around, but in the end, he was just that a rumor to terrify children with his name forgotten by all but a few.
Kyoto Forest
Naruto and Alicia had arrived at a nearby clearing and were ready to start sparring after doing some light exercises but something was off. The air, it felt cold and the feeling on the back of their necks is that someone was watching them. Naruto could sense it was someone in the forest while Alicia sniffed them out after picking up the unique sent of blood and leather for some reason.
"You might as well come out we know you are there." Out of the tree line came someone that Naruto just frowned at. "Okay seriously is there something of a cup requirement for women in my life? I mean seriously what do you girls eat to get stuff like that?"
Standing there was a girl with blue hair and wearing a tight black top that showed off a good amount of cleavage if you looked. At the same time, she is wearing a black shirt that only comes up to her thighs, black knee length socks, and black slip on shoes. The girl had a wild look about her and she had on some bracelets and an almost feral pair of eyes with slits in them.
"Nice to meet you both. So, you're the two warriors I heard about in these parts?"
"Warriors? Lady we haven't been fighting anyone that hasn't died just as fast as they appeared. None of them were what you would classify as warriors in their own setting."
"Oh my, your cocky, I like that in a man if they can back it up." Naruto raised an eyebrow and saw her cracking her knuckles before hearing,
"What the fuck is this!" Turning his head, he blushed seeing Alicia tied up in some kind of leather trap. They were holding her body in contorted ways that almost seemed sexual given they were squeezing her bind chest and making it more pronounce while she moaned slightly. Naruto quickly shook off the blush before focusing on the girl again,
"What is this? A sacred gear?"
"How perceptive and yes, it is. I call it Divine Binding it might not be the strongest offensive gear in the world or be the most versatile but it is very useful. In many different contexts if you know what I mean," She licked her lips causing Naruto to blush slightly but it left as quick as it came.
"Sometimes I wonder if God was secretly SM specialist as this seems to be out of context with his teachings. But never the less," Naruto glared at her with his aura starting to flare to life. "Who are you and why are you here challenging me and my Queen?"
"My name, it is Kyoka (Dragon's Rioting) and I'm here to prove to those assholes in the Hero Faction that I'm not useless and can defeat even the most powerful warriors on my own!"
"Hero Faction? There is a group full of former heroes in them?" She took a stance,
"Beat me and I'll tell you what I can about them and might let you have this cherry little boy." Naruto blushed,
"I'll pass, after all I'm only thirteen so that would classify you as a pedophile." She smirked turned into a full sadistic grin,
"Maybe but we know your morals are different than mine!" Within a split second she dashed at Naruto and threw a straight punch with her right hand. Naruto ducked away from the punch before throwing his own punch at her head. She tilted her head to the side and pivoted on her foot to throw a round house. Naruto brought his hands up and blocked the kick but still felt the power that was coming from it going through his arm. But he pushed forward and threw a vicious straight into her stomach sending her skidding back and then finding him disappearing and appearing above her head with a falling heel drop on the back of her head. Her face went into the ground but she reacted quickly pushing off with her hands and spinning on her back. She was throwing multiple spinning kicks at Naruto but he moved out of range of the attacks and stood there waiting for her.
"Your strength is impressive Kyoka."
"Shut up I don't need your placating me!" Naruto raised an eyebrow at this but sensed something was happening to her. Her body was convulsing with power and it seemed holy in some way or just more powerful than normal. Before he could react, she was on top of him again,
'Fast, she is faster than before!' Naruto ducked out of the way of the strike and moved for some distance but failed as she was on him again. He was swerving around her punches and that were getting sloppy but he could sense the power off them. They were enough to cave his skull in if he was not careful.
'Time to step up my game.'
Naruto dashed straight at Kyoka and within seconds threw an assortment of hooks and straights and jabs at her body and face. While she was powering through them for the most part, she was still taking a lot of damage herself. In the end, she closed the distance between the two of them but Naruto reacted faster and hit her with a vicious uppercut. This attack sends her flying head first into the sky and fall back down to the ground slowly while spinning in the air. Timing it just right he threw one punch,
"Life Shot!"
Kyoka felt him hit her across the face and it was weak, barely any power.
She watched as he slowed down, barely making any move.
'He really thought that would work? What a loser.' Kyoka thought extatically with a dark smile before it became a look of horror as she found herself floating out in the middle of space and saw her body before her.
"What the hell how is this possible!" She tried moving but her body was unresponsive. She couldn't believe this guy somehow separated her from her actual physical body.
Kyoka saw as Naruto's body moved and his hand formed another fist.
"Son of a bitch! He can kill me now!" Kyoka saw flash backs of her former comrades,
"Who ever heard of a hero that can't unlock their power?"
"Ha! You might have great martial arts but your power is limited unlike me Heracles!"
"It is sad, your gear is useless compared to the True Longinus. I'm afraid you have no place here in the Hero Faction."
Kyoka heard the taunts and many more and soon thought back to the promise,
"Mark my words Cao-Cao I will break you! When I have the power, I will come back for all of you and show the true power of the Strongest Hero, my power will be unstoppable!" She stormed off the group not before sending Artoria Pendragon into the wall for mouthing off about her weakness the reason she is no longer one of them.
Kyoka felt heat coming from inside of her and she screamed,
"I WILL NOT LOSE HERE!"
Naruto did not know what happened. One minute he hit her with his Life Shot and was about to knock her out with another strike. But before he could load up on the finishing strike, her body got covered in some godly aura. Then she charged him and without a chance to react or block he was hit in the face with one powerful punch and sent flying into some trees. Naruto felt blood going down his face and saw her bull rushing him again. He took another punch to the stomach making it lift him on this fist.
'Fuck she is stronger than normal! Got to end this quickly!' Naruto's train of thought stopped with another hook to the face sending him crashing into more trees. But before she could jump on the attack again, she was hit from behind with a blue fire attack sending her into some more trees.
"Alicia how-,"
"Whatever power she is using apparently turned off her sacred gear so I'm all good now. What's the plan?" Naruto looked at the recovering Hero and saw she was pissed and generating more and more power.
"I think I have a move that can end this fight the problem is that I need to figure out how to time her attack with mine."
"So, you need a distraction or something?" He nodded his head,
"If you can draw her into a fight maybe I can find the point where I can cut off the power or at least hit her enough to knock her out. My Life Shot won't work here, she already broke out of it once."
"Alright then leave it to me!" Alicia cracked her knuckles and flew at Kyoka who was still on the ground but tearing up the earth in the process. After a few feet they stopped moving and she smashed her fists into Alicia's back sending her into the ground with a grunt. She landed on her knees but turned her head up and released a blue beam of power.
"Dragon Roar!" This attack sent Kyoka flying into the air where Alicia's dragon wings came out and flew straight at her. She tackled her into the sky, grabbed her by the hair, and flung her into the ground below. Gathering up her magic again she fired another breath attack at Kyoka and this time it caused a small explosion to create a decent size crater with her inside of it.
Flying back to the ground Alicia admired her handy work thinking she knocked her out.
A punch to the face sent her flying away from a recovering Kyoka who was healing from the attack of the breath and throw attacks. Alicia recovered in mid-flight and growled,
"Oh, you asked for it bitch!" She landed on the ground and dodged one of her strikes before covering her hand in the blue energy and slamming it into her jaw. "Iron Dragon Fist!" The hero's head cracked back but she quickly regained her momentum and threw another sloppy punch. Alicia ducked it and threw another of her dragon punches into her stomach with vicious authority. Kyoka coughed but like her face, her stomach was recovering from the damage.
Naruto on the other hand was watching the fight as they traded punches and had to admit Alicia was strong. Much stronger than a couple of month ago when he met her. He didn't know she could do the same thing with her punches that she could with her breath attack. From what he gathered her breath attack was dangerous that if you didn't have an immunity to radiation it could slowly kill you from the inside. But it seemed Kyoka's body was healing her so fast that even with the radiation in her body it was being purged as quick as it came.
Alicia leapt into the air and with a forward axe kick she coated her foot in the blue energy as well and slammed it into the back of Kyoka's head.
"Iron Dragon Claw!" She flew higher up, "I'm not done with you!" Gathering blue magical energy into her back and hands she then came down with two thin blades of energy. "Dragon Wing Attack!"
The explosion of the attack rocked everything around them and soon kicked up so much dust Naruto had to cover his mouth and nose to avoid too much going into his body.
"Huh," Naruto dusted off his clothes and stood up after having enough time to recover and analyze the fight. "Seems Alicia is really stepping up her game, I can't afford to fall behind got to get more serious in training now."
Turning his head, he saw that Kyoka was getting up but much slower than before and sighed.
"All that power can't save her and healing can only work so fast. In the end, her new power is her greatest weakness if she can't control it to mix with that fighting martial arts she has." Appearing between the two girls he smiled at Kyoka, "I would love to talk to you more after this fight but for now I have to stop this before one of you die."
Kyoka roared and rushed Naruto who just sighed,
"Check this out, my new move." Within seconds of almost coming in punching range of him his fist blurred. They were hitting her in the face, body, legs, and even piercing into her body to cut off her magic.
"MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA!"
The barrage continued like this for a few minutes before finally he hit her in the stomach knocking her out and causing her eyes to turn white and the power to disappear. Seeing her lying on the ground Naruto sighed and fell to the ground on his ass.
"Man, that was exhausting huh Alicia?" She snorted,
"Yeah I guess she is pretty powerful for a hero." Naruto laughed lightly,
"You know we got lucky she was not thinking clearly." Alicia raised an eyebrow,
"What do you mean? Even with that power she could not beat you let alone me."
"I mean think about it what happened to her after she unlocked her hidden power?" Alicia pondered it for a second, the fight was pretty closely contended with her using, her eyes widened,
"You figure it out?" Alicia whispered the answer,
"She had turned into a brawler."
"Yes," Naruto sighed, "While in her normal state she had martial art skills and while I would say they are better and more refined than my own she lacked the power and speed to match me. However, that is not to say the opposite is not possible in the case of this new power. Her Hero Power apparently granted her incredible healing prowess, speed, strength, and endurance to match even the strongest creatures I've seen. However, in doing so she gave up all of her technique and skill that she gained before while also forgoing her sacred gear that was keeping you trapped."
"I see," Alicia realized it, if she had been fully controlling her body instead of brawling this fight would have gone very differently. It was thanks to that she just unlocked this power that they won or had a chance in the first place.
A groan brought them both back and saw that Kyoka was slowly sitting up while grunting at the pain in her body.
"You should take it slow, the move I hit you with not only disrupted your vitals for a brief period of time but also crushed your muscles and bone and shut off your magic." Kyoka looked at Naruto and then at Alicia,
"In my travels I only have met few people like both of you."
"Like us?" She nodded her head,
"Kind and caring to your partners and allies but at the same time having amazing skill to back up all claims of strength."
"Well I'm still training at this point and so is Alicia but we both plan to become stronger than we are now." Naruto smiled at her, "Your amazing as well, your martial arts is definitely more versatile than mine as I only really focus on punching than incorporating kicks. Plus, your sacred gear could have neutralized us both if you really tried." Alicia grunted and turned away from the girl refusing to show she respected her talent and skill.
"Thank you," Kyoka was confused, this is the first time someone complimented her skill.
Really, the other heroes mocked her for not having a powerful sacred gear or hero powers like them so she was casted out as a weakling. Even though she had gotten stronger now she knew she was no match for the likes of Cao-Cao and those of equal stature. But now, she met someone that could possibly match him in skill and talent, possibly even defeat him and his so holy spear that he brags about all the time.
Moving into a kneeling position,
"Sir, I know you are a devil and I humbly request the opportunity to join your peerage." Naruto raised an eyebrow while Alicia not showing it was annoyed that Naruto was recruiting another girl to the peerage. She wasn't jealous, of course she wouldn't be but she felt having another woman like Kyoka more specifically was more trouble than it was worth. Yeah, she was not worried that she would take Naruto away from her or anything.
"Why do you want to join me?" Naruto knew that this girl's talents would be a great asset if recruited to his peerage. If other devils find her there is no guarantee that she would be nurtured for her amazing skill. Knowing this he still had to know her intentions of joining his peerage.
"While I'm only 15 I'm still growing as a martial artist, as a hero, and as a person. I feel that staying with you and the Dragon I will finally find the place that will help me achieve the goal of becoming the strongest Hero and the chance to stick it to the Hero Faction." Naruto frowned, while he did not know the actual history between her and the Hero Faction, he knew that if her vendetta lead to a war with them that is something he wanted to avoid. One peerage against an entire faction of heroes with sacred gears and probably powerful one's too is something most would not do.
"Will this dream bring war to us?"
"I assure you I will not fight them unless the chance comes, I promise. My only real desire is to prove I can become the strongest Hero of all time." Naruto looked at her for a little while longer and sighed, pulling out his set he looked it over and thought about what piece would suit her best. Rook was out as she was already insanely strong and fast, faster than most knights he knew as a child. At this same time, more durable and since she did not over rely on magic Bishop would be wasted on her so that only left one thing; A pawn piece.
"Please relax, this should only have a slight tingle." With the pawn in hand he held it out and it quickly started glowing near Kyoka. But another piece joined his hand thus signaling he was worth at least 2 pawn pieces so he held them to her chest.
"I Command Thee, Kyoka the Hero to join my peerage and become another member of my growing Family!" With that the pieces flew into her body and she started exploding with powerful energy making her almost on par with most High-class nobles.
"How you feel?" She smiled and quickly hugged Naruto while pushing her breasts into his face. A blush broke out on his face,
"Horny, why don't I show you my appreciation my king?" She licked his cheek but before her hands could go lower, Alicia punched her in the face with her blue energized hand.
"Step off bitch!"
"What was that!" Naruto sighed,
"Ladies you are going to be family now so get along. Sparring you two can do all the damage as long as it is nothing permanent understood?" He flared his own aura and nature was slowly surrounding him making both girls reluctantly shake hands.
Naruto sighed before they teleported back to Kyoto so they could explain what happened to Yasaka and even talk to her about this Hero faction and how the way Kyoka talked about them means they should be weary of them. But the minute he entered the palace one of the guards rushed to him,
"Naruto-san, Yasaka she has gone into labor!"
"What where is she!"
"The private medical wing hurry and you can explain your new friend later!" With that Naruto dashed down the hallway looking for the wing while the two women quickly pursued behind their King.
Upon arriving at the room, he saw the guards again having to stop the elders and Kuroh from entering the room. They were shouting about taking the child and 'dropping' her off with some other clan or family as it would not distract Yasaka. This irritated Naruto personally as this sounded similar to how his father and grandfather from his mother side spoke about him years ago in similar manner. Walking up to the group the elders sneered at him while Kuroh growled, he ignored the fool irritating him more. Looking at the guard,
"How is she doing?" The Wolf Yokai's ears flatten slightly,
"She has just entered labored and the doctors tell us while the process is slower than expected she should pull through this with no trouble." Naruto nod his head,
"Devil!" Turning his head, he saw Kuroh approaching him and then grabbing him by the front of his new jacket. "This is your fault! If you were not here then Yasaka would have married me already and instead of having your bastard child she would have had a child worthy of her lineage!" Naruto's eyes narrowed slightly,
"Strike one, don't ever assume," he gripped his offending wrist and started squeezing it causing a cracking noise to resonate in the room, "I would rape someone I despise rapist more than anything." He held the offending hand and with one twist forced the man to his knees while his tails try to lash out at him. He moved his head and squeezed his wrist even harder. "Strike two, speaking of Yasaka as if she is someone to own or possess, she is the ruler of Kyoto and she is to be treated as such or at the least as a dear friend. She chooses her mate, she chooses her path, and she chooses how she goes about life."
Soon a golden aura flared to life around Naruto and his eyes started to turn red with slits, "The final strike, the one that irritates me the most: You have the gall to claim her child as a bastard child and treat her and the child as if they are the plague! For that no mercy will be shown now!"
Releasing his hand, he stood in front of him with his fist clenched before the first punch his thrown. Then a large barrage of punches came at him in a flurry.
"MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA!"
After the fortieth barrage of punches to the Kitsune's face he stopped and watched him crashing into the wall with indents of his punches showing. Turning to the elders his aura still alive he asked,
"Do you wish to test me as well?" Naruto stated aggressively as many of the debris started to be filled with Senjutsu, morphing into living creatures. There were squirrels, birds, and other small animals
The Elders did the smart thing, shut up, grabbed their chosen champion of the Kitsune clan, and ran for the hills. The guards snickered but did have to admit, the power the boy was showing even at the age of 13 was insane. He would be a monster in a couple of years.
Naruto took a deep breath, the Senjutsu in the debris faded, and sat down waiting for them to be allowed into the room while Kyoka asked about Yasaka and their reason for being there with Alicia who gave her a quick rundown of the situation.
After an hour, a doctor came out with two fox tails and golden ears,
"Naruto-san, Yasaka is asking for you." Naruto shot to his feet,
"How are they?" The doctor smiled,
"Tired but both are healthy." Naruto smiled and slowly walked into the room, "Alicia, Kyoka stay out here if the elders try to make their way into the room show them the error of their ways."
"Sure/Yes Naruto-kun/san." The two glared at each other and the Wolf Yokai guard said,
"We'll assist as well. Please give her our best regards." Naruto nodded his head and entered the room while letting the doctor leave.
In the room he saw something that did warm his heart; Yasaka was lying on the bed tired from the looks of things. Her hair was tussled around, her face was still slightly flushed, and she seemed to be just recovering. But in her arms, she had a small bundle and he could hear it snoring and thought it was adorable. Walking over he saw her smile and with the bundle held it in a way when he was next to her bed, he could see her. In the bundle was a small blond hair child with eyes closed, two small ears on her head, and a single tail lying lazily beneath the baby.
"She is beautiful."
"Thank you Naruto-kun, would you like to hold her?" Naruto was shocked, he was not allowed to hold his baby sister Rias when she was born and thinking of this reminded him that she was to have a birthday soon and turn five. He would have to make it up to her in the near future.
"You sure?" She nodded her head and handed him the baby while he got his hands in the right place. He smiled down at her, he could sense the purity off this child and the nature that seemed to envelop around her. He placed a small kiss on her forehead and this woke her up revealing her golden eyes.
"Hello there young one." He smiled down and she giggled at him before tugging on his hair. He grunted, "Strong grip, you'll be great just like your mother and the others before you." The tail swished wildly behind her and Yasaka smiled,
"Yes, Kunou is going to be a true treasure."
"Kunou? Interesting name but then again I'm named after Ramen so I can't knock you on that." She laughed lightly but while this is going on and he was talking to her new daughter she saw something.
She could see him, much older standing next to her with his hands wrapped around her waist and holding her close. Her daughter standing in front of them with his hand patting her head and her smiling brightly with tails swishing behind her. Her with a swollen stomach again but smiling brightly while leaning her head on his shoulder and reaching for-,
She stopped the dream and shook he head clear.
'Must be the drugs, yep definitely the drugs. I mean why would Naruto-kun ever see me like that? I mean yeah it looks like Kunou likes him but he wouldn't want to be the father of her.' Looking at her he saw him tickling the baby lightly while caring for her with the greatest care and the thought creeped into her head again,
'He wouldn't be interested in this life with us, would he?'
Chapter End
For those that are going to ask, yes I'm having more elements of Jojo appear down the line and no Stands will not be used in this story. At this same time, I would like to make one thing clear the power that Naruto has is called Life and while similar is not Senjutsu. If you have more questions about this story please PM me or leave a comment asking about the story and I'll try to answer them in the next chapter. Hope you all enjoyed this and look for Ghoul King as it is next to be updated before coming back to chapter 3 on this story. Also, the peerage is already laid out so be ready for it.
Also the Muda Muda moment is for a fan request that I at least keep this part of the series but to inform you guys this strike is similar to his Life Shot but only that it works in a different function in focusing on pounding his opponents with the strikes, hitting them in everyway: Externally, Internally, magically, and even cutting off their magic with their attack.
If more information needed message me and I'll try to explain a little more clearly in the next chapter
