Chapter 3
3 Years later Paris
It was beautiful starry night in Paris the city of love and in a rare case all the lights of the beautiful city were shut why, because earlier this day an electrical accident had left whole city without electricity but still even without all it's light, Paris was beautiful as the moonlight illuminated the whole city giving some of the older buildings a vibe of mystery, one of these buildings was the famous Louvre. The Pyramid in front the old building was also illuminated by the grace of the beautiful moon making a sight to be seen.
But the main point wasn't the beauty of the city. No it was the mysterious figure that stood on the roof of fortress, enveloped in midnight black cloak. The figure looked at the astral body as the cloak was rustled by the wind, only after few minutes his gaze turned to one of the tower-like structures of the Louvre disappeared with the wind like he was never there.
Security room
The two Security guards that were on duty in this moment looked bored at the hundreds of monitor in front of them to see if everything was alright. One of them was in his forties with brown hair and red eyes and with what looked liked permanent grumpy look on his face, while his partner was the total opposite. He was his mid-twenties with black hair that reached his neck and green eyes, while on his face he had a big smile. The two were wearing the standard guard uniform.
"Bhaa, noting interesting happens around here."said the older one, he stood up from his seat and headed for the mini-fridge and said "No one is stupid enough to try and rob this place."
"Why are you so angry Sean, shouldn't this be better, we get good wages only for staring in monitors whole day." said the younger guard as he once again smiled at his senior.
"You are right youngster... but still it's so boring." said Sean as he popped a can of soda open.
"Well then you want to play some cards old man I am pretty sure I could beat you any time." proclaimed the younger guard as he gave his senior one smug grin.
"Wanna bet, get the cards and let's see if your as good as you say." challenged the brown haired man for the first time smiling in a long time.
And so the two started playing cards but every time, every game they ended draw and while the two guards were concentrated in their game they didn't saw that the monitors started shutting down one by one, only when the Sean won they realized what was happening.
"Ha I beat you, what are you going to say about that, Charlie." said the Sean with look of victory while he was grinning at Charlie, who for the first time was with grumpy look on his face.
"That was a fluke Sean, I will manage to bea..." but Charlie never manage to finish his sentence as the alarm activated, he looked at the monitors and saw how the last one of them stopped working. " What the fuck! All the monitors have shut down!"
Sean immediately looked at the monitors and saw the black screens, his grin become even bigger than before and he said. "Well, well it looks like someone was stupid enough to try and rob this place and looks like he has some skills."
They immediately sounded the alarm and rushed out to try and find the one responsible for this and to see if they could catch him but still the Louvre is a big place and the two separated to cover bigger ground.
Sean went to the art gallery and the first paining he went to check was 'Mona Lisa' but what he saw was unbelievable to him,the whole security system wash shut down and the bulletproof glass was reduced to what looked dust but there was no trace of precious painting, but on it's place stood a note and a which was stuck to the wall by a white card with a head of a dragon.
The old guard immediately recognized the card as he remembered the latest news about the mysterious thief that never left trails and loved to play games. Sean opened the note and read it.
If you want your precious Mona Lisa back, follow my simple lead.
Go to where the Guardians rest in peace.
Phantom Dragon.
Sean immediately contacted his partner and explained to him what was the situation in the moment. 'So do you know what this riddle means?' asked Charlie via the radio station.
"I think it's in the Egyptian exhibition, Egypt always have something connected with guardians, so head over there immediately." Ordered Sean while a 'Roger' came from his radio station and he started running to the Egyptian exhibition too.
During his run to his destination he saw police cars stopping around the Louver and soon after the full force of French police came full force through the doors. The Old guard immediately run to them, showed them the card and explained that 'Mona Lisa' was stolen.
"Men I want half of you to start searching, the Louver while the other half should secure the perimeter outside, Phantom Dragon might still be in the building." shouted the Major at his underlings. "We won't let's some little runt thief steal one of our national treasures."
After this little speech every police officer shouted in agreement with their superior and the whole police force split in two in less then a minute and immediately Sean and part of the searching group went to the Egyptian exhibition while the others split around the exhibitions to look for the missing painting if the lead was false. The Major went out to secure the perimeter with the the other part of police officers.
When Sean and and the group of police officers reached Egyptian exhibitions they saw that Charlie was already looking around. Sean shouted at the younger bodyguard as he came near him.
"Charlie have you found the painting or any new leads to it?" asked the older man immediately but the green eyed bodyguard just shook his head. "Okay then split around and search for clues or report immediately if something is missing." said Sean and every officer started searching.
Ten minutes had passed and there was no sign of the missing painting or anything stolen some of the officers that nothing was stolen in some of the other exhibitions. It was starting to look like that the Phantom Dragon didn't play and had just stolen the precious painting until "Sean."
"What is it Charlie?" asked the old guard with some hope still left in him.
"Something is bugging me, from what I know there isn't anything related to guardians in any exhibition I know in the Louvre." said the younger guard while the cogs in the his partners brain started ticking and he finally understood what the simple riddle really meant.
"Charlie you are genius, come with me." shouted Sean and the two run out of the exhibition and the two headed East. "Thanks to you I managed to understand what he meant by Guardians."
"What!" shouted Charlie in surprise. " Then where is the painting and what are this guardians Phantom Dragon wrote about."
"Think about it Charlie, what are we?" asked the old man while the his partner answered immediately.
"We are Guards, what else could.. we.. be..." as he was answering this simple question he finally understood what his partner meant. "He didn't meant Guardians from some notable work or anything from this sort, he meant the us which means the 'Mona Lisa' is in!"
"IN THE SECURITY ROOM!" shouted the two as the two flew in their office in the same time breaking the door. Sean and Charlie immediately stood up and took out their tasers in hand but the mysterious thief wasn't there, only the 'Mona Lisa' was standing on the couch with a new note and a card near it.
Hope you two enjoyed the little game of hide and seek while I did my work.
Phantom Dragon.
"What a stupid thief will leave a painting that is worth millions after he had stolen it? " asked Charlie not realizing Phantom's true motives.
"Not stupid, genius." corrected Sean while Charlie gave him a questioning look.
"Think about Mona Lisa is painting that cost millions and everyone would think that this will be his primary goal of any thief, but from what I have read about Phantom Dragon I had come to realizing he isn't from this type, so maybe this stealing of the Mona Lisa was just to trow us at a wild goose chase only to steal what he really wants." explained the brown haired man while Charlie was left gaping.
While the two bodyguards were talking in the security room and every police officer was searching for the now not so missing Mona Lisa, one red haired Police officer left the Louver undetected.
When he got out he saw barricades that were already placed around the whole Louvre. Without anyone noticing him he crossed the barricade and disappeared in the crowd which had gathered around the police cars to see what's going on.
When the police officer was out of everyone's sight he discarded the uniform and now on his place stood the one and only Uzumaki Naruto. In the last three years the blond had really matured and now he stood 5 foot 11 with lean yet muscular build while his whisker marks had faded a little and his blond hair was slightly longer but still as spiky as always.
"Hahaha, It wasn't that big of a challenge and at least I got for what I came." Laughed Naruto as he took out a scroll from his pocket and grinned but then he he felt his palm heating up. When the blond looked to see, he saw the mark of Bael clan shining and he sighed.
'Well he had been calling me since earlier.' thought the blond as he concentrated on his devil powers and the crest from his palm appeared under him and a second later the blond Uzumaki disappeared in a blinding light.
Few days later not in Paris
It was fine morning and and like every day the students hurried for their school. But one particular high school student could be seen as he was deep in thoughts. The teen's name is Hyoudou Issei, he is 17 year old with average height, short brown hair and light brown eyes, he was wearing the normal Kuoh Academy's boy's school uniform but with few difference. His uniform differs in the fact that he wore a red T-shirt underneath his open dress shirt and blazer and blue-white sneakers in place of the dress shoes.
In this moment he was in deep thoughts about the dream he had. In it he was killed by his girlfriend Amano Yumma. After he woke up he immediately tried to call her but to his demise, the operator said that the number didn't existed, he then tried to find pictures or anything to know that Yumma was real but everything was gone. His last ace was his two friends Matsuda and Motohama, because the two had seen her.
"Off.." Grunted Issei as he collided with someone and fell on his butt, when the brown haired teen looked to see the person he collided with, he saw a tall spiky haired blond with blue eyes and what looked whiskered mark on his cheeks. The guy just looked curious at the pervert teen who immediately apologized.
"I am really sorry, I didn't watch out where I was going." said Issei while the blond just smiled and gave Issei a hand to help him stand up.
"No, problem I was in deep thoughts so I should apologize too, but I think you will miss the bus if you don't hurry" said the blond, while Issei panicked a little. The blond made place for Issei and he immediately ran out, but unknown to him the blond was still looking at the pervert teen.
'Did you felt it Albion?' Naruto asked his partner who just snorted from inside the mindscape.
'How couldn't I. As his rival I could feel him the moment you touched the boy.'said the white dragon while Naruto just chuckled and he started walking once again.
'But you felt the other thing too?'
'That I did. Like the two of us, Ddraig and his partner had been turned into devils but...' Albion stopped for a second while Naruto nodded because he knew what the old dragon was thinking .
'It feels like the boy doesn't know he is devil or even about Ddraig.' said the vanishing dragon while inwardly he was smirking.
'There are only two devils with peerage in this territory, so it's either Miss Sitri or the Princess.' said the blond as he reached his luxury suite. With all the money he has, he bought the whole floor which consisted of four apartments and renovated them in one big suite with everything a person or a devil will ever needed.
He had six bedrooms, two kitchens, enormous living room and enormous garden full of wild life where Naruto could meditate and train in peace. But the one of the most important rooms of all was his trophy room which was the biggest and also the most secured thing in whole Japan.
Soon the blond stood in front of two massive doors made of mahogany wood. When he placed his right hand on the door, hundreds of seal arrays appeared on the door but the blond just moved and twisted his wrist and the seal arrays started disappearing one by one ending this chain link with a simple click and the two doors opened automatically.
The room was massive and it took about 1/4 of the whole renovated suite. The room itself was divided in two wings. The left wing was for the Art he had acquired during his trip all over the world while the right wing was for the artifacts he had purged and collected.
Naruto headed for the left wing and as he entered he once again saw the precious art and sculptures he had collected and today it was time to add the new one to his collection. He took out the sealing scroll and placed it on one of the stands, then with making a ram seal the scroll exploded and on it's place stood a life-size marble statue of a beautiful woman with quiver on her back and deer near her legs. Naruto marveled at the sculpture for few minutes before he head to the other wing.
"Naruto I was going to ask you earlier, but why did you steal this diamond from the Louvre?" asked Albion while his partner just sighed.
'Didn't I tell you already?' asked Naruto while the Dragon inside him just said i simple no. 'Well you see The Sancy Diamond is not normal one, I found some old Archives of Devils in France that were telling how fallen angels had used it as Light amplifier making fallen angels with only one set of wings able to kill Mid to High level devils without a problem.'
"Then it's good thing no angel or fallen angel found it first. We don't want to get obliterated by light." said Albion while Naruto nodded as he placed the diamond on a pedestal next to few others artifacts after which he left the trophy room and locked it once more.
"Okay what should I do know? " asked Naruto as he went to the kitchen to make something to eat.
'How about some stray devil hunting, we haven't done this in a while.' said Albion as he stretched his limbs in the mindscape getting ready for some action.
"Yeah why not I haven't spread my wings in long time, but first the sandwich." said Naruto as he sat in the living room and looked at what's on TV but he found nothing interesting. And so when he finished the sandwich he got out on the terrace and saw it was already night time. The blond took a deep breath and jumped from the twenty-fifth floor and sky-dived, as he got enough speed he immediately activated his sacred gear which resulted Naruto to fly upwards, few second later Naruto was flying in the open sky freely next to the full moon.
"Man it feels great to use Divine dividing once again after my training with sensei has ended."
"That fucking monkey was a slave driver but you somehow managed to finish it." grumbled Albion as he remember what Naruto had to go while the blond just laughed at dragon's antics.
"He wasn't that bad, but if I have to compare him to my others he was more strict and less pervert."
"Well now that is over you will be able to use your full power with and Divine Dividing's." The old Dragon knew pretty well how powerful Naruto was, but he also knew that the blond had also long road ahead of himself if he wanted to reach his full potential.
"Naruto I sense a stray devil at five o'clock."
"I felt it too. Let's go partner it's time to kick some stray ass." Smirked Naruto as he swiftly changed his direction and headed for his target. After few minutes of flying Naruto reached one secluded part of the park and he landed while his wings disappeared. Naruto looked around and saw only giant spiderwebs and some corpses lying in the ground or in the webs. Naruto turned against the biggest, on it stood a naked woman with brown hair, she was showing her big bust and her eight... hairy... spider... legs...
The spider-woman looked at Naruto and grinned madly while singing some made up song. " Weave, weave the silky spiderweb, make it strong so the little pray won't get away."
"God I always hated Stray devils, but at least it will give me some warm up." said Naruto as he got in battle position. The spider woman didn't wait at all and jumped at Naruto attacking with her spider legs. Everywhere she hit the ground corroded in the next second but to her displeasure Naruto was too fast and dodged every attack with precision.
"If that's all you can do, I am not impressed." said Naruto as he landed on a tree branch, the spider woman just grinned even madly and her mouth split open, she started shooting web at the blond who once again dodged her attacks.
"Well that's disgusting." Naruto looked at the tree that was hit by the web and to his surprise it started corroding. "Don't you have other attacks without corrosion effect." whined the blond.
"Naruto stop playing and finish it before it destroys more of this beautifully park." shouted Albion as the blond sweetdroped for a second at the Dragon's antics, but he complied and his expression become serious .
"Well it was fun till it lasted, but now it's time to finish you." said Naruto as once again his sacred gear activated but the spider-woman still charged at couldn't dodge it on time and she hit him with her front legs and the blond fell on ground dead. The woman laughed victoriously and she got ready to eat her newest victim. But in the next second someone shoved her head in the ground and what felt like leg through her spider body, she immediately started screaming in agony. With all of her power left she managed to turn her head only to her surprise to see the blond she killed a minute ago.
"What I killed, you should be dead you.." but her next words never came out as she felt a massive magical pressure hitting her. When she looked at the blond once again she saw his silver slitted eyes and the pain in her spider body become stronger as the blond twisted his leg.
"Your type is just piece of trash that kills their masters for power, I won't even need to divide your power to destroy you." said Naruto as he clutched her head even stronger and she started struggling and screaming to get away as the magical pressure increased while the Naruto just looked at the monster emotionlessly and said only two words.
"Half Dimension" in the next second all the struggling and screaming stopped as the stray devil's head exploded in blood and gore and it's body fell limp on the ground. Naruto then pulled his right leg from the spider body, it was covered in goo.
"That's why I hate killing stray devils they always leave a mess after them, GOD DAMN IT." Shouted the blond as he tried to find something to wipe the blood and goo but there was nothing until.
"You can use my napkin if you want." came a woman's voice from behind the blond and a smooth hand showed the blond a napkin.
"Ohh, thanks I appreciate it but it won't... WAIT!" shouted the blond as he immediately turned to see who it, but he immediately blushed a little when he saw a buxom young woman with long black hair and violet eyes and creamy colored skin. Her hair was being tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two antennae sticking out from the top and sloping backwards, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place and she was wearing a standard Female Kuoh Academy uniform. But what surprised him the most was the face she was giving him in the moment. She was giving him look full of lust.
"Mmm I just loved how you finished this stray devil, so much power and such a sadistic way eep!" squeaked the black haired girl in delight while the blond just sweetdroped.
'If you ask me she is pure S or M or even the both .' said Albion while Naruto just agreed with the old dragon.
"Anyway may I ask you what's your name what are you doing here miss." asked the blond while the beauty gave him a sultry smile.
"My name is Akeno Himejima nice to meet you?"
"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki, it pleasure to meet you Akeno-san, but still what is a lady like you doing here in this time of the night."
"Ohh, nothing much I was send to the same but you were a bit faster then me." said Akeno as her personality went back to normal which surprised the duo how fast it happened.
"So can I assume you are either send by your king or you are hunter which i think is highly unlikely." asked Naruto while Akeno just smiled and confirmed his thinking. "So Akeno-san will you tell me who might be your king?"
"I see no problem Naruto-san if you confirm you are a devil too." said Akeno while Naruto nodded and he summoned his devil wings to confirm it." Well it seems you are alright Naruto-san. My king's name is Rias Gremory."
When Naruto heard Rias name he smiled and thought of a little plan in his head. "My you are in the princess peerage." Akeno was little surprised because of the nickname but Naruto didn't gave her chance to ask any questions as he started walking away, he summoned his devil's wings but before he flew away he turned one last time and said "Please tell the princess I might come to visit her soon, also it was nice to meet you Akeno-san and please no honorifics Akeno-san it make's me feel old." with that said Naruto started flapping his wings and flew away.
"My he is an interesting one for sure." said Akeno as she licked her lips. 'If Rias doesn't want him I will gladly take him.' Akeno then summoned her wings and flew in other direction to see how Rias was doing with her newest pawn.
Underworld few days earlier
Blinding light appeared in the conference room in the castle of the Bael clan blinding for second the devil in it, when the light faded on it's place stood Naruto with his normal grin on his face and greeted.
"Yo, long time no see Sai." said Naruto as in front of him stood Sairaorg Bael in his standard uniform he always wore. He hadn't changed much only his hair had become slight longer, but in all he was the same devil, with the same grin. The two fist bumped and then gave each other one armed hug.
"You said it Naruto, how long was it my friend a year, year and half ?" said Siaraorg.
"I think about year and half but who counts, anyway how are Kushia-chan and the others." asked Naruto.
"They are all fine, working hard as always and Kushia didn't let me do anything fun." mock cried Sairaorg and Naruto chuckled as he remembered the last time he met his whole family.
(Flashback before Naruto's trip)
"Why do you have to go Naruto-nii!" said Kushia with tears in her eyes as she hugged Naruto with so much strength the older blond was starting to turn blue. Kushia Abadon was 16 years old beautiful girl with blonde hair that was tied in a ponytail, she have buxom figure with a light skin tone and ocean blue eyes. She was wearing simple ocean blue dress.
Everyone who didn't know Naruto and Kushia would have immediately thought the two were siblings by how much they looked alike. They may have not been brother and sister by blood but still the older blond acted like one for the girl and she loved him like a big brother.
"It's okay Kushia-chan my training trip will be only for two years and I promise I will contact you all once in a while." said Naruto as he finally managed to get away from the death grip of the queen and ruffed her hair a little while she glared at him.
"Hey she is not the only one whose going to miss you and your charisma around here." came the voice of Coriana Andrealphus, one of Sairaorg's bishops. She too like Kushia had blond hair. She had average figure and wore business-style suit. She hugged Naruto and gave him kiss on the cheek as the whiskered blond turned little red.
"Don't forget about us, Naruto!" came a voice from behind the three blonds and when they turned they saw Sairaorg's two knights.
Liban Crocell was young blond-haired man with lean build and he wore his signature light armor and sword, he had come from the house of Crocell which sadly had been extinct during the Great War. Next to Liban stood Beruka Furcas, he was short brown haired man and he too wore light armor with two spears rested on his back. The two joined the others and each one fist-bumped with Naruto like always.
"Do you think we will forget about you Naruto, you are an awesome friend and we are gonna miss you..." but Liban was cut by non other than Gandoma Balam who woke up from his nap in the garden.
Gandoma was the biggest guy and and maybe the scariest looking in Sairaorg's peerage but after sometime around him Naruto found the big guy was really nice and that he loved to party hard. " 'Yawn' Yeah I am gonna really miss our drinking nights, you were the center of the party, without you I will be stuck once again with this boring grandpas."
"Hey!" shouted the two knights while Naruto and the girls started laughing.
"What's going on here? And why aren't we invited to this meeting." Came Sairaorg's happy voice as he came in sight with the rest of his peerage behind him.
"Ohh nothing much Sai, I was talking with Kushia-chan about my journey and everyone one by one came to see me, I think." answered Naruto not sure a little if he was right but no complain was heard.
"Ho so we were the last to come, anyway I hope you become stronger or it will be easy to tame you and your dragon in that fancy Sacred gears of yours." Said Landora Bune. Landora came from the house of Bune which was known for their dragon taming skills but sadly like the house of Crocell, it was extinct in the Great War. He was lanky and tall man with black short hair and obsidian eyes, also he was Naruto's biggest rival in the peerage.
"Hahaha, very funny Landora." said Naruto as he rolled his eye, but then grin appeared the blond's face and said."Everyone knows you will never be able to tame either me or Albion, or have you forgotten last time what happened." As the memories from their last fight came in the black haired man's mind, he couldn't but shiver at what happened.
"Damn straight he should remember, would he do something like the last time, I promise I would make you divide him until nothing is left from him." Said Albion as he had just woken up from his slumber only to hear Landora's little speech, Naruto couldn't but chuckle at the dragon's antics.
"I hope you achieve what you want with this trip and return soon." said Msteeta Sabnock as she gave Naruto a little smile.
"Well it looks like it's only me and Regulus left." said Sairaorg but then they saw that the big lion had already fallen asleep and everyone sweetdroped. "Correction it looks like I am the last. I hope you manage to do what you want with your trip and don't forget to become even stronger because in this time I will become even more powerful and I still want to have an equal sparring partner.
"You can bet on it Sai, and to all of you thank you for accepting me in your family." Said Naruto as everyone gave Naruto a hug, then the blond turned to his little sister and said "Ohh and Kushia-chan watch for our king to don't make stupid things." at this comment Sairaorg's face heated a little while everyone laughed.
"I will Naruto-nii." said Kushia as she hugged the older blond, then he just waved at them for the last time as he was telleported to the Human world where his trip to glory and training started.
Flashback end.
"Ahh yeah fine memories." said Naruto with smile on his face but soon it faded and he asked his king the question that was bothering since he came." So why did you summon me I have about half more year before I came back."
But before Sairaorg could answer the door behind them opened and familiar voice said "Actually I asked Sairaorg-san to summon you Naruto-kun."
When the blond turned he saw a man dressed in a noble clothes, he looked like he was in his early 20's with crimson red hair and blue-green eyes and Naruto knew pretty well who this man was.
"Sirzechs-sama what a surprise for asking to meet me." said Naruto in respectable tone, while Sirzech just smiled at the blond and the two shook hands.
"Please Naruto-kun you know I don't like formalities between friends when we are alone." said the Satan while Naruto just smiled sheepishly at him.
"Sorry Sirzechs, so will you tell me for what you wanted to talk with me?" asked Naruto but Sirzechs was cut by Sairaorg.
"Wait, you two know each other?" asked the Bael clan leader little surprised.
"Well yeah, how would he know about me if we haven't met each other before." said Naruto like it was the simplest thing in the world.
"I.. I don't know I thought Ajuka-sama had told Sirzechs about you."
"Not actually." said the Satan. "Let's say my Bishop and Rook loves to party and they managed to make me go with them and I meet Naruto there by accident. Ohh and Naruto Surtr and MacGregor said they had been looking for you everywhere for another party after the one in Berlin." Sairaorg looked at the two gobsmacked as the two devils laughed together.
After some more talking, Naruto asked Sirzechs once again "As before Sairaorg interrupted us what were you going say."
The Crimson haired Satan grinned at the blond and asked him one really simple question. "Have you ever taught being a teacher?"
