Well it turns out I lied, I said I'd be updating something else but I guess I lied. I had some ideas for this story that I had to get them down. I'm glad you're all enjoying it so far and to be honest I never expected it to reach close to 500 follows. It's no 'Fire and Ash' (Which by the way is probably my favorite in this section) with 3k follows but for someone who just started writing about 4 months ago, I'd say it's pretty good. Well that's enough rambling, let's get on with the story.
Last time
"It is with much pleasure that I introduce someone very dear to the Phenex Clan. Everyone, please greet…" He says as an orange magical circle appears in the center of the room. Rising from the circle seven people appear.
"Uzumaki Naruto" Naruto finishes for him.
The Satan's along with the older generation devils widen their eyes at the mention of the name Uzumaki. They're supposed to have been wiped out.
The younger generation devils look on in curiosity wondering why there's such a big deal for this guy. What everyone is focusing on at the moment is something that they never expected. Looking back at everyone was Naruto with the Rinnegan in full display.
"Hahahaha I think you broke them Naruto." Says Grimmjow laughing madly enjoying the look on people's faces.
"Indeed" He says smirking.
Present
No one has said a word. Everyone is looking on in shock, the legendary Rinnegan is staring them all in the face.
The Phenex family however is relishing the facial expressions of everyone present. Even the ever lively Serafall Leviathan is looking on with a serious face. Suddenly one of the older devils stands up. He is an older looking man from the Glasya-Labolas clan.
"Guards seize them!" He yells. Fifteen guards immediately pounce to attack the blonde
Off to the side Sona was getting ready to intervene, they were allies after all. They were stopped however by Askin, who had already run away to avoid fighting.
"No need to bother, his majesty will take care of it easily enough. Though he will be happy to know you were about to join him."
Naruto turns his head a bit to look at his peerage with one eye. "Everyone stay out of it, except for you Grimmjow. You can take half. I know it's not the main course you want but for now I think you could stretch a bit." He says "Doni, do you mind creating a sword for me?" He asks. Doni nods and creates a simple one for him.
Grimmjow just shows a wide grin, happy he's going to get to fight. The rest of the peerage moves off to the side to watch the one sided fight start. The guards are getting closer, as expected they divided in two, one for each 'intruder.'
[Bleach OST Treachery]
The six that went after Naruto were in his personal space already. Naruto said "Shinra Tensei", just as they attacked they hit an invisible wall and were all pushed away. He raised his hand towards one of the guards and said, "Bansho Ten'in"
The guard was pulled towards Naruto by an invisible force. No matter what he tried he kept being pulled. Once he was close enough Naruto swung his sword horizontally, slicing the man in half.
One of the guards who had been previously thrown back attacked Naruto from behind, or at least he tried to. Naruto simply closed his eyes and smirked then moved to the left allowing the man to pass right by him. The next thing everyone saw was three giant slashes appear on the man's back before he hit the ground dead. Looking to his right he saw Grimmjow split a guy down the middle.
The spectators were shocked at the massacre they were witnessing. The noble clans always made sure to hire top notch guards in the event of some sort of attack, and this BOY and his barbarian servant were cutting them down like nothing.
Deciding it was time to get on the offensive rather than letting them come to him he charged. He moved fast enough that his target was momentarily surprised and was hit with a chakra enhanced kick breaking four ribs. Not letting up he dodges some blasts from one of the two remaining guards before appearing behind him.
Naruto slashed the back of his knees dropping him before breaking his neck. He back flipped and as his hand touched the ground those paying close attention would have noticed a seal appear on the ground. Naruto just stood there and let the remaining guard charge at him.
"Idiot" Naruto says. The man stepped on the seal and could no longer move. Naruto simply walked up to the man before raising his blade in level with his heart. He plunged the blade slowly allowing the man to suffer before finally piercing the heart, killing the man.
He notices the scared look that appeared on the elders face as he saw his guards get terminated in less than a minute.
"Grimmjow." He calls out nodding in the man's direction. Said blue haired man disappeared from his spot while making a static sound. He reappears in front of the man and proceeds to stab the man right under the bellybutton. His hand came out of his back and he was lifted off of the floor.
He coughs up some blood and looks up to see a shit eating grin on Grimmjow's face. Said man raises his right arm up to face level before a red sphere appears. "Cero" The red sphere shoots from his palm creating a ray wide and long enough to consume the man's entire upper body. There was no question, the man was dead. He used Sonido to return to the group.
"We're done here." Says Naruto as an orange magic circle appears under them once again. They did what they intended to do, now everybody knows that the Uzumaki's are not extinct and the Rinnegan is in his hands. Before they leave Naruto makes eye contact with Sona. Purple rippled eyes lock with Light purple ones before he vanishes.
One thing went through his mind, "She's going to have questions."
-The Next Day-
Naruto had decided to skip school for today, there was something that he needed to do. It was time to go get Kabuto to join the peerage. Esdeath having told him where he was he decided to just use the magical circle. Now that he had made himself known there was no need to use the garganta.
He arrived inside of a cave. He knew he was somewhere in southern Japan but he didn't think the guy would be in a cave. He walked forward going deeper into the cave. He noticed that there was light getting closer. A minute later he found himself in some sort of laboratory.
Hearing a clanking noise he looked to his right and saw the only other person inside the cave besides himself. This must be Kabuto. He had grey hair which he tied into a ponytail with two bangs framing his face. He wore rimmed circular glasses. He wears a dark purple high collar shirt, a white undershirt, fingerless gloves and dark purple pants with blue shoes. This was indeed Kabuto Yakushi.
Naruto coughs lightly to get his attention. It works.
"You must be Naruto." He says, "I'm sure you know but I'll introduce myself anyway, I'm Kabuto Yakushi."
"Nice to meet you, so I take it my queen spoke to you?" He asked
"Yes she told me about this peerage you have and I was offered a spot. She said you guys could use a good healer. But I have to wonder, how would I benefit from joining you? I'd be giving up my humanity you know?" He says
"You would get stronger first of all, you'd have devil powers, I could provide you some test subjects for you to study, I don't even care if you don't call me master or Naruto-sama, and you don't even have to be at the house. If you want to go off somewhere that's fine as long as you show up when called. Finally you would have a family." He says. He knew the look in Kabuto's eyes, the look of loneliness.
Kabuto's eyes widen at the mention of a family. This guy was exactly like him.
Naruto takes out a pawn chess piece and holds it up. "So what do you say?"
Kabuto remains silent for a minute before he answers, "I accept."
After performing the reincarnation ritual Naruto left the cave and gave Kabuto instructions on where to go should he ever want to go to the house.
He teleported himself to an alley near a Seiyu and proceeded to head to the store to buy something specific. Knowing he had to go to school tomorrow and see Sona, who will most likely ask questions, he decided to get her something nice.
Looking through the isles he finally found something that he could get. A chess set. It wasn't the best quality but he had a plan for that. Paying for it he headed out back to the house to get it customized.
Ever since he left the store he felt someone trailing him and he was getting annoyed. "I know you've been following me for a while might as well come on out." He said.
Coming out from hiding on the side of a building. The man is tall, has black hair with blonde bangs and a black goatee. A maroon trench coat being held at the waist by two belts. Grey pants and some lighter maroon shoes.
"The Governor of the Fallen Angels and Grigori. What an unexpected surprise." Says Naruto, allowing his eyes to change from blue to the purple black ringed Rinnegan.
"So it's true, the legendary eyes are back among us." He says looking directly at his eyes.
"Indeed. So tell me, what is it you want?"
"I was actually curious about you, the higher ups down in the underworld are going crazy. Not only that but I hear heaven has gotten word of the eyes as well." He says
"That's great and all but what do YOU want?" Naruto asks not in the mood for small talk.
"I'm interested in those eyes. I'm a scientist who likes to research sacred gears, however those eyes are every scientist's wet dream." He says excitedly
"Please tell me why I should allow you to study my eyes. I've never met you and I'm not a part of your faction."
Azazel turns serious for a moment, his laid back attitude replaced with that of a true leader. "I can offer you the Grigori's protection." He raised his hand to stop Naruto from talking as he knew he was going to interrupt. "I know you're strong, and if you know how to truly use those eyes of yours, I wouldn't doubt it if you were a super devil. However even with your strength and your peerage, I don't think you'd be able to take on the entire Devil faction if they were to gain up on you." He states.
Naruto stays quiet. Sure he was confident enough to fight all out with Sirzechs and Ajuka one-on-one. Maybe two on one if it were the other two, but not all four at once. If they were to all gain up on him and include every other devil in the underworld, he wouldn't survive, he wasn't that good. If he was protected by an entire faction they'd at least think twice before attacking.
"What will you do with the information you get?"
"It will be strictly for me I can guarantee that." He says
"Protection will be needed. Even with the Phenex clan it wouldn't be enough to stop an all-out attack. Well I could just drop a meteor and kill us all but that would be a waste. I'll let him study but he's only getting what the higher ups already know. I'll even delay the time between attacks giving away false information in the even he turns on me. No way will I show him my secret techniques. I have to keep Rinbo and the others to myself."
"Very well I'll allow you to study them for a bit in return for protection from the Grigori. But let me make it clear, I'm not joining the fallen angels, we simply have a sort of alliance. "
"Great." He says, his old attitude coming back. "I'll see you next week for the first test." He says before twelve black wings sprout from his back and he takes flight.
Naruto shakes his head and proceeds home, he still has to finish Sona's gift. Hopefully she'll ease up on him if she likes it.
Once he was home he went to look for Esdeath. He found her in the back yard sparing with Askin. If you could call it that, she was shooting ice at him while he ran.
"Esdeath." He called. She stopped her onslaught and approached him.
"Yes?"
"I need you to help me out with something. I need you to use your ice powers to make this the best looking chess set anyone's ever seen. Oh and add Sona's name on the Chess board." He orders happily
"You want me to use my powers on something like that?" She asks raising an eyebrow. His eyes narrowing was the only answer she got.
"Fine" She says before she touches the set and it starts freezing making it look really nice. (Google ice chess set). She adds the Sitri name as instructed and removed her hand.
"There, it won't ever melt either." She says getting back to attacking Askin.
"Thanks." He says heading up to his room.
-The Next Day-
Lunch time at school was something Naruto usually enjoyed. Today however was different, he knew he'd be interrogated to some degree. He heads to the Student Council room with his gift in hand. He had made sure to wrap it with some gift wrap he found at a small store.
When he found her she was at her desk doing paper work. She notices him and continues doing her work. He looks over to where they usually play and notices the board is there. He reaches over and puts it somewhere else and sits down.
"Hello Sona-chan." He greets. She stares at him blankly. "Come over here Sona-chan I've got something for you." He says motioning to the gift on the table.
She heads over and sits down across from him and continues to stare. He sighs, he knows she won't do anything until he talks.
"Go ahead."
"What was that whole fiasco at the wedding about?" She asks
"I was sending a message."
She stays quiet for a moment before remembering something. The whole thing with Riser calling off the wedding was eating at her.
"Did you have anything to do with what happened to Rias?" She asks
"If you mean was I the one who granted her freedom, then yes."
"That's not what I meant. Were you the one who came up with the idea for Rias losing her portion of the Kuoh territory?" She asks clearly getting upset.
"Yes."
"Why?" She asks, if she wasn't yet upset she was now.
"Let me ask you something Sona." He started, not even adding the affectionate suffix. "If your parents were to have you be married and told you if you could accomplish a specific task you'd be free, would you do it?"
She nods.
"Now let's say once you complete it your parents tell you that you have to do one more task because they weren't satisfied enough with how you completed it. What would you think?"
She doesn't hesitate to answer. "That it's unfair."
"Exactly. Sirzechs proposed the rating game, it was simple. She wins she's free, he wins, and she becomes his wife. Riser won the game fairly, but Sirzechs wasn't amused enough so he abused his power to add another form for Rias to break the engagement." He states. "That wasn't fair. He was trying to make Riser lose at any cost. I anticipated this, if she wanted out so bad she would have to lose something rather than get everything she wants because she's the sister of the Lucifer." He says frowning.
Sona stays quiet. She knows that he's right. It was favoritism on the Satan's part. As much as she hates to admit it everything he's saying is dead on.
Naruto stands up and heads to the door, leaving the present on the table. "I'm going home, if you want to know anything else just go to my house." He says leaving her directions on a piece of paper. "Only come once you've calmed down and can think rationally."
With that he was gone. Sona sat there in the same spot. She looked at the wrapped box and opened it up. She was surprised to find the most beautiful chess set she'd ever seen. It even had her name in the center. She felt bad. She got upset at someone who was only making sure his friend wasn't getting cheated. Even if his friend was an asshole.
She had gotten mad at not only her ally, but the one person who considered her to be a fun person and genuinely seemed to like her for her. In her moment of anger she didn't even get to ask him about his true name or his eyes. She'd have to talk to him again.
-Underworld-
In the Phenex estate Riser was walking towards his younger sister's room, it was time for her to head to Kuoh to represent the Phenex as agreed upon by Lucifer. He knocks twice on the door before walking in anyways.
Inside the room he sees his sister glaring at him. She's a short girl with blonde hair in twin pigtails with drill looking curls. They're held together by some red bands. She's wearing a pink dress with white frills and a pink bow in the front.
"What was the point of knocking if you were just going to barge in anyway?" She says angrily
"It's time for you to go to Kuoh and assume your role as the representative." He says
"What? Why now? I don't want to go yet." She says turning her back on him, signifying that the conversation was over. Normally he hates when she gets into one of her moods. He could always just force her to do it, but then she'd be in a bad mood and do things half assed.
This time is different however.
"Very well, do what you want. I'll just tell Naruto you were too busy to be bothered about your part in his plan." He says turning around, a smirk adorning his face. He counted down in his head before…
"Wait." There it is
"I'm going, but not because you told me to or anything." She says stubbornly. He knew about her 'secret' crush on his fellow blonde. Mention him and you could talk her into doing her work easily.
"Good. Be ready by today. And remember before you decide on anything while over there, run it by him first. If he tells you to do something do it."
"So it's basically a sphere of influence?" she asks, he nods. It made sense, she hadn't made any big decisions before. In the eyes of the public it's Ravel controlling Kuoh, but behind the scenes it's Naruto giving her directions.
-Kuoh-
"So this is the place Xenovia-chan?" Asked a white robe wearing girl
"Yeah, this is the place. Not only is our target somewhere in this city but, I've been told Doni has been seen here recently as well." Xenovia says
"Why did you do it Doni?" She thinks to herself.
Sorry for the long wait guys but there was some things I needed to do and it took a bit of time. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Note, Naruto is not a member of the fallen angels, he just sees use for them. Anyways as always leave your suggestions or comments in the reviews or PM. I'll see you guys next time. Later
