Punch the Limit 2
His godly chakra reserves? All gone. Amazing and destructive jutsu? Can't use 'em. Weak? Not even close. If all else fails then good old fashion exercise will help. Unfortunately, he may have overdone it because now Naruto is bored. "How'd you get so strong?" "Push ups, sit ups, and plenty of orange juice!"
AN: So quick shout out to all who reviewed. I'd like to thank you for your constructive criticism. To all who loved the idea, thank you for your kind words. To all who are giving me a chance, thank you for giving me an opportunity. To that dude who said Naruto was going to be weak and useless around Asia arc? Serious? I mean serious? Weak?
Anywho, I'd like to put my two cents in for a moment and rant a bit. I'm not sure why a lot of people hate Issei. I know he is a perv and can be a bit odd sometimes, but if people hate cause he is pervy then that means you'd hate Jiraiya or Kakashi from Naruto. I've read some of the light novels, read the manga, and saw the anime. If you want a real idea of Issei's character read the books. Issei actually is well written. He was a boy who actually had a problem with being turned into a Devil and used a coping mechanism. So why do people always want him dead? Poor kid finally got a date and died on it. I'll have Issei as a normal guy trying to survive, but I'll be focusing more on Naruto. Anyways end rant.

PUNCH YOUR THEORY
"These two give off a dangerous aura," Kurama said as he eyed the two girls before him and Naruto. Naruto, as well, felt an eerie feeling coming from them. Deciding to stop beating around the bush the boy stepped forward.
"So how can I help you two out?" Naruto asked. The blonde girl giggled at Naruto's behavior while the older woman scoffed.
"This is the human that made Raynare scared? Pathetic. He doesn't even look like much of a threat," the blue haired woman stated. "Hurry Mittelt and kill him already."
"Aww but he looks so cute Kalawarner," the now named Mittelt cooed. Her pretty face morphed into something much more sinister. The face of a sadist. Naruto was not amused.
'Sweet holy Kami. Another Anko. No thank you.'
"Let me play with him a little." Mittelt giggled and held her hand open. There was a brief flash and a pink spear with an arrow tip point appeared in her hand. It looked much more solid than the pure light one Naruto had seen before. Kalawarner sighed dramatically and flipped her hair.
"Well if you must. Just make this quick." Naruto frowned slightly and looked to Kurama. The fox was scratching his ear when he stopped and looked to his partner.
"What?"
"What do you mean 'What'? Should I do something or just go home? I don't want to get roped into this!" Kurama shrugged and jumped on to Naruto's shoulder.
"Do whatever. Just do it fast so we can eat." Naruto sighed and ran his hand through his white hair. He cringed at the dryness. Oh luxurious, soft blonde hair… Why did you have to go?
"Listen, I don't want any part of your sexy three way. At least the war that is. If you two wanna get it on then that's cool too. But I don't want to fight. Especially if that means getting rid of you two," Naruto said. Mittelt and Kalawarner looked at each other before bursting out laughing.
"Oh what a wonderfully naive thing to say. You're right Mittelt he is cute. In a stupid way."
"Hey I'm not stupid! I just don't want to deal with this. And as you can see I'm trying to get home from school," Naruto pointed to the book bag on his shoulder. "So if we just part ways then everything will be fine. If not, well things may get ugly." Mittelt cackled softly before her laugh erupted into guffaws.
The two girls flexed their shoulders and a pair of jet black angel wings burst from their backs. Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose.
"More crows. Great. Look I'm warning you if you come at me then expect to be punished." Mittelt rushed forward with a flap of her black wings and went to stab Naruto.
"Then punish me! You can spank me nice and hard, but I'll hurt you too~!" Mittelt cackled. She thrust and stabbed at Naruto who jumped back and dodged every attempt.
"Oi quit! If you ruin these clothes I have to pay for it! You know how many odd jobs I have to do to pay for school and groceries!" Naruto yelled as he backpedalled. He felt a shift in the air and tilted his body just in time to watch as a double pointed spear of yellow light tried to decapitate him.
"Just fall human, so I can go home." Naruto frowned at Kalawarner and spun around the spear. The two began to attack in tandem and continued to try and spear the boy.
"He's good at dodging. What a slippery onii-chan," Mittelt said as Naruto ducked under her spear. "But we got ya!" Naruto noticed Kalawarner come from his blind spot with her spear ready to pierce his side.
'Time to end this. I'm hungry.'
"It's over human!" Kalawarner screamed in victory. She felt her weapon puncture something solid and grinned in pleasure. No human could possibly survive being pierced by a light weapon. Raynare must have been seeing things when she said this boy dispelled her light spear.
Squeak!
Squeeeee~
The two fallen angels tilted their head in confusion at the sound. Where was the scream of anguish? The splatter of blood? The sound of air escaping from an object was not what they expected.
"What? What the hell is this?" Mittelt questioned. Instead of the white haired human they expected to be skewered in a spear they saw a blow up punching doll in the form of a clown. It had the words 'LOG' painted on the front of it. "Didn't you stab him? How could you miss!"
Kalawarner pulled her weapon out of the plastic toy with another squeak from it and looked down in confusion. "I don't understand. Where did he go?"
"Over here." Mittelt and Kalawarner turned quickly to the voice and saw Naruto zipping up his bag. He slung it on his shoulder and wiped his hands on his pants. "Substitution. Classic move."
"B-but how?"
"You crows are just slow." Both girls looked at the source of the voice and we're shocked to see the fox on the boy's shoulder speaking. "He had enough time to unzip his bag, blow up the toy, put it in his place, and then move."
"Not how I used to do things, but still effective and infuriating towards who hit it." Naruto picked at his ear before looking at the Fallen Angels. "So, ya mad yet?" both supernatural beings gripped their spears in anger. How dare this human mock them!
"I'm gonna rip you to pieces then defile your corpse!" the blonde girl screeched. Kalawarner agreed silently and the two rushed forward.
"Pass." Mittelt and Kalawarner were stopped in their tracks and had to stifle a choke as Naruto appeared before them and grabbed their throats. "I'll try not to kill you two since I really don't like murder. Something my godfather taught me. Plus I don't like killing hot girls." The two fallen gripped at the hand wrapped around their throats, but couldn't release the iron grip. When they swung their weapons they were shocked and afraid when both dispersed into light particles.
"How?" Kalawarner whispered. She was afraid now. More frightened than she had been in a long time. She would admit she wasn't the most powerful fallen angel around, but she was powerful enough to take care of most things thrown at her. When she heard Raynare had come back and failed her mission of making sure the sacred gear wielder was dead, she had laughed at the reason. What kind of human could make a Fallen Angel run? Now she knew.
Naruto gripped the two tighter and the three of them, plus fox, vanished from the ground. High in the air Naruto appeared with Kalawarner and Mittelt held high. "Don't die crows! Spinning Lotus of the Majestic Green Beast!" Kalawarner and Mittelt screamed as Naruto spun downwards at extreme speeds. Wind whistled and bones creaked then a loud crash. A dust cloud formed on the street from the impact of bodies hitting the ground.
From the dust Naruto walked forward. A wave of his hand and the dust cloud dispersed. On the ground was a large crater and in the crater lay the two fallen angels. Their wings were broken and bodies torn. Blood leaked from numerous cuts.
"I-I can't move," Mittelt croaked.
"My w-wings." Kalawarner tried to look at her broken wings, but couldn't. What happened? All she saw was a blur of colors then excruciating pain. The sound of footsteps alerted her to movement and she moved her eyes fearfully. There he was. The man who had disposed of her and her comrade with barely an effort. Then, she blacked out.
Naruto hummed happily as he spooned another morsel of egg on rice into his mouth. Oh this was so delicious. He would admit that he had grown to love other foods and the joy of cooking them. Ramen will always be his first love, but cooking was calming. Sighing happily the boy leaned back on his modest couch. Next to him sat Kurama, the fox scaring down his dinner.
Burp!
"Excuse you."
"You're excused." Naruto shook his head. His fox partner will always be like that. Naruto grabbed his remote and flipped on the TV to pass some time. As he ran through channels Kurama hopped off the couch and padded over to Naruto's bedroom. Their apartment wasn't big by any means. It had a shared kitchen and living room, a bedroom, a small office room that could double as another room, and one bathroom. It was small but cozy.
Kurama peeked his head through the doorway and saw the two girls that Naruto had taken. He really was too nice for his own good. Both of them were breathing normally and just seemed unconscious. They'd be good leverage.
"You're little asinine attack knocked them out good. Copied from your idiotic friend?" Kurama said as he went to join the boy. Naruto shrugged.
"It's easy to use. Plus who'd expect it?" Kurama shook his head in exasperation. "So what should I do with them? They'll probably wake up in a day or two."
"Leverage kid. They will make the perfect bargaining chip if things get too antsy. Plus…"
"Plus?..."
"We can make them clean are house!" Naruto palmed his face and groaned. "I'll make them wear skimpy little maid uniforms and sweep up the house. Then I'll make them dust. Yes the apartment will be so sparkly. Yes~."
"Chill fox. I'm being serious!"
"So am I!"
"Ignoring the fact that we have beings that could potentially start a very nasty situation; I have no real desire to be a part of some petty war that I have no business in," Naruto explained.
"You may have no desire, but are you really not going to do anything if something happens in front of you?" Naruto was silent. "I understand not getting in their business. But you've never been the type to sit on your hands. Here's what I think. Don't get into this supernatural scuffle willingly. I agree with you, I've had enough of being the lynch pin in battles we didn't have to be in. However, if someone in front of you needs help, help them."
"Yeah...that makes sense. No use thinking too much about it. Anyways, time to work out for the night then off to bed." Naruto stood up from the couch and went to change into his workout clothes. He was quiet enough to not wake his visitors, but then again they wouldn't be waking anytime soon.
The next day Naruto awoke to loud whining and groaning. Pushing himself off the couch, he couldn't very well sleep in a bed with injured girls, the boy lumbered to the noise. He was mildly surprised to find the two fallen angels waking up. They're bodies were still greatly injured so they most likely wouldn't be moving anytime soon.
"Good morning girls," Naruto said at the door. Two sets of eyes quickly went towards him. Both of them tried to croak out words but could not. Naruto hummed and left to get them water. A minute later and their throats less parched the two bedridden girls gave Naruto a weary look.
"Who are you?" Mittelt asked. That was the biggest question on their minds. This strange human was able to defeat them. Easily too. Naruto shrugged.
"I'm Naruto and I'm just a normal guy." Naruto turned to the clock on his nightstand. "A normal guy that needs to get ready for school. Listen if I let you heal here will you promise not to destroy my apartment?"
"No." Naruto deadpanned at Kalawarner's quick response. "However, we aren't able to really move or do much of anything so I will abide by that."
"Plus I can destroy you."
"That too."
"Well I'm gonna change and head out then." Naruto walked out and head to the bathroom. Mittelt and Kalawarner heard the shower turn on before settling back down.
"What do we do now Kala?" Mittelt asked in worry. They had been beaten and taken prisoner. Naruto didn't really give off any sort of external energy. His presence though, his presence was overwhelming when one really tried sensing him. Naruto looked so unassuming. His skin tone to hair color may be a strange clash, white and tan made an odd complexion, but he didn't seem that tough. That was until he came walking back into the room wearing just a towel.
"Gulp…"
"Did you just gulp...and say gulp?" Naruto asked as he took in the bewildered faces of the girls. Mittelt shook her head quickly while Kalawarner just stared. And for good reason. Naruto's body was toned beyond belief. His muscles were compact and cut, but not overly so. His abdominal muscles were well defined and there was barely an ounce of fat on the boy's body. It was almost like he was carved from marble.
Naruto gave the two a confused look then shrugged it off. Not his problem. He quickly grabbed his school clothes and changed out of the room before returning. Kalawarner and Mittelt were still staring off into space.
'Odd creatures,' Naruto thought and then snapped his fingers. "Oi I'm leaving. Like I said don't destroy my home and we'll be good. If you need anything Kurama will be here." Naruto waved and then left. The Fallen angels continued to stare into space.
"What's wrong with you crows?" the girls shook themselves and turned to the voice. Kurama was sitting at the foot of their bed, a wide vulpine grin on his face. "Saw something you like?"
"Sh-shut up!" Mittelt growled. Oh how she wished she could stab the offending animal. However, she really could barely move. That boy almost killed her and her partner.
"I have to tell you that you two are very lucky."
"Oh really? How so?"
"You could be dead."
Naruto whistled lightly as he crossed the street. School was never really something he wanted to go to again. Unfortunately, when he got into this world he didn't really know what to do. He had no chakra, no jutsu, his skill set was gone, and he now had to babysit. The babysitting came in the form of finding places for his wonderful pals.
"Naruto-kun!" Speak of the devil. Naruto turned towards a sewage drain and leaned down. He took a quick look around. No one was paying attention to him. Naruto looked into the drainage and saw a large white slug creature waving one of its jelly tentacles.
"Saiken, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to say hi and see how you were," Saiken said in her soft voice. Naruto smiled lightly. Saiken was such a soft spoken bijuu. She was very nice albeit shy. Bringing the bijuu to this world was not his choice, but it was helpful for the chakra beasts to be able to have a free life.
"I'm okay Saiken. Have you seen Isobu?"
"The turtle is near the beaches. I see him whenever he comes by the run off near the sand. We miss you. You should visit us." Naruto smiled and tickled the slug under what he assumed was her chin.
"I may need to gather you all soon." Naruto stood up and dusted his pants. "Something is coming. Something big."
"Well you know where to find us!" Saiken disappeared from view and Naruto turned away. Time for school. That first then figure out his place in all this. Naruto reached his class with relative ease and sat down. He noticed Issei in the back with his friends whispering to themselves. He didn't really feel like engaging at the moment so Naruto turned to the front. When the bell rung Naruto let his mind wander. He had a feeling things were going to get odd.
The day went off as normal as possible. Naruto went to classes, he had lunch with a few classmates that didn't bother him, and he even paid attention in his final class. When the bell rang for the school day to end Naruto was ready to head out. He had to quickly go to a job he was asked to do. He needed money after all.
Naruto quickly left the classroom and changed into some street clothes. He now sported an orange shirt with blue trim, jeans, and sandals. He felt comfortable in this, and he had to be. He was working on groundskeeping around the school today. As Naruto grabbed the supplies he needed he waved to a few passing students who waved back.
Other students would ask him why he was always doing these jobs. He would reply that he needed the money to pay for food, shelter, and schooling. It wasn't like some otherworldly benefactor gave him a scholarship. That would be amazing, but unfortunately didn't happen. Naruto could drop out of school, but then what would he do?
'I could always travel the world and see the sights. Might be fun.' Naruto's thoughts were interrupted as he heard footsteps approaching. He paused his sweeping and turned to his visitor. Shitori Sona, Student council president, and her vice president, Shinra Tsubaki walked towards him. Sona was a slim girl with glasses and black hair cut in a bob. She was pretty but held a very serious demeanor. Her violet eyes were always sharp and trained on any wrongdoing.
Tsubaki was also bespectacled and had long black hair let loose. She was more curvy than her president and had brown eyes. The two came to a stop in front of Naruto.
"Ms. Student Council president, how can I help you?"
"Must you call me that every time we meet Uzumaki-san?"
"I'll stop when you call me Naruto."
"I'm unable to do that."
"Then you stay Ms. Student Council pres-."
"Fine!" Naruto grinned at Sona's outburst. It was fun pushing her buttons. "Fine, Naruto I would like to talk to you about something."
"Okay shoot," Naruto said as he continued to sweep.
"I had heard you made contact with Rias and her club." Naruto stopped. "Is this true?"
"From the way you said club I'm gonna guess you know what they are."
"That is correct."
"And are you one as well?"
"I have my own peerage. You know Tsubaki, she is my [Queen]." Tsubaki bowed to Naruto who nodded back.
"Hello again Naruto-san, how are you?"
"Good Tsubaki-chan. You?" Tsubaki huffed and turned her head.
"I'd be better if you didn't address me so." Naruto chuckled.
"That's all well and good, so what do you want from me?" Naruto paused for a moment as something registered. "What do you mean queen?"
"Rias didn't go over pieces with you?"
"I'm not part of her club, so no."
"Ah, that makes sense. I would have thought you'd be coerced into becoming part of her peerage." Naruto shook his head.
"Nah. I'm gonna stick to being human. I'd rather not be roped into any sort of servitude. Besides I'm fine on my own." Sona frowned and crossed her arms under her chest.
"That certainly doesn't seem smart. I had heard that you ran into a Fallen Angel. How do you-."
"Angels."
"I'm sorry?"
"Fallen angels. I met three total." Tsubaki and Sona flinched in shock. How did Naruto have such bad luck as to meet three fallen angels? How was he alive even?!
"Are you okay? Did they do anything? What happened?!" Sona shot out each question as she moved closer and closer to Naruto. Her Student council president mode was showing. The boy held up his hands in a placating manner.
"Whoa chill. I'm fine. Apparently they checked me out because they heard from their leader,or friend, that I had scared her off. Two of them came to me, attacked me, then I beat them down." Tsubaki balked at Naruto's words while Sona looked openly shocked. He beat them?
"How did you defeat them?"
"I'm much stronger than I look. I know you," Naruto looked around and leaned close, "Devils like to believe humans are weak, but not all of them are. Not only did I not want to be part of Rias's group because I'd be a servant, I also did it because I'm stronger than her." Sona gave the boy a disbelieving look. "Honestly!"
"I find that very hard to believe." Naruto scratched his head and thought for a moment. He didn't really want to show off, ah who was he kidding he really missed showing off. Unfortunately he couldn't without destroying the country. Or world, depends.
"Listen, I haven't had a real good fight in a long time. If you can find a way to get a place that can withstand damage or get rebuilt, how bout I show your little group what I can do. Sound good?" Sona hummed in thought. On one hand it was very hard to believe the white haired boy. On the other she would be able to one up Rias and see just how Naruto was able to fight off light weapons and beat fallen angels. Besides, she needed to have her new [Pawn] see battle.
"I will make it so. Come see me tomorrow and I will bring my peerage. How bout a little wager though?"
"President?" Tsubaki asked in shock. Not only was her master allowing a human to battle them, but she was also betting with him?!
"A bet? Okay sure. What are your terms?"
"If I should win, you join my peerage. If you win you can name your request. Sound fair." Naruto grinned. Oh this would be fun.
"Deal!"
Naruto came home to a quiet apartment. Well it was until he heard a loud scream.
"Get off you pervert fox!"
"Stop throwing him on me!"
"Hehe hahaha! Dance puppets! Dance for your master!" Naruto sweatdropped. What did he miss?
"I'm home!" Naruto called. He strode to his room and sagged in exasperation at the sight that met him. Mittelt was pulling Kalawarner's cheek while the blue haired girl was grabbing a fist full of Mittelt's hair. In the middle of it all was Kurama nestled snuggly between the two girls' chest. "What the hell is this?"
"Human! Tell your cursed pet to stop going under the covers and sticking his nose where it doesn't belong!"
"Seriously! He keeps sticking that freezing nose into my leg!" Mittelt screeched. Naruto, annoyed, grabbed Kurama by the scruff of his neck and lifted the fox to eye level.
"What are you doing?"
"Having fun."
"Why do you patronize them?"
"Because I can." Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose and tossed Kurama over his back. The fox tipped in indignation before landing on his paws. "Rude!"
"Whatever, listen you two." both girls stopped their squabbling to look at Naruto. "I don't know what you plan on doing now, but if you're gonna stay here you'll need to contribute."
Kalawarner scoffed and folded her arms under her bust. "Like we would willingly stay in this dump. Once we have healed we will be leaving to our leader."
"But which one Kala?" Mittelt said as they ignored Naruto's indignant cry over his home. "Raynare won't be too happy we were captured and he will be angrier that we disobeyed. Are we even able to go back?" Kalawarner was silent at that.
It was true. They had failed in their mission from Raynare, they had disobeyed their original order from someone much higher up, and they had been defeated as well. Their roles as soldiers were done. If Raynare found them she would punish them, or worse. Raynare was not a merciful person.
"So what's your choice?" Mittelt turned Kalawarner nodded in agreement.
"If you will allow us...we would like to stay here for now," Kalawarner stated. Naruto hummed in thought and looked at the two. He had no qualms with having them stay. They were still injured and even at full power the two of them couldn't hurt him. Stroking his chin Naruto shrugged.
"Alright. You can stay, but like I said before you two will need to start contributing when you can."
"What do you have in mind?"
"Maid service!"
"Shut up perv fox! Look maybe just keep the house in order, if possible do some shopping, and if I really need the funds you both may have to get a job. Other than that, just don't do anything stupid. Those are my rules. Can you follow them?" Mittelt hummed before nodding while Kalawarner gave a reserved nod as well. They weren't prisoners so this was actually the best option for them.
"So what do we do now?"
"I don't know about you two, but I'm gonna rest. Tomorrow I get to have some fun with devils."
And scene. So again thank you guys for liking this idea so much. This was really a whim that I wanted to go and do. I hope you all are enjoying it so far. I'm sorry this was supposed to be out days ago but, well I got sick. So I am currently healing right now. Fun. It sucks cause I can't go to school or work. I need the money.
Anyways so next chapter will be the wonderful start of the series as you all know with the inclusion of wonderfulness of randomness and super powered wins from our resident white haired OP former ninja. The first battle, if you can call it that, showing devils and it's gonna be Sona's peerage. Hope you guys are ready. Have a great weekend friends.
