Yo! If you are reading this then the next installment of Lost Nins are up and ready. I would like to take time and apologize for any grievances about this story. So far, as you have read, they are just fillers with massive information dump, but it was most prudent I had to do it. No other choice. The character of Naruto demands so. And about the character interactions, there will be major interactions between the DxD characters and Naruto plus his gang. The rest will stay in the background and will pop up when required. I have given Naruto the resources needed for his use, i.e. a personal army when the situation calls for it. He will not be flinging them making chaos for just shits and giggles.
Now for the replies.
To those miscreants who complain, make bad criticisms, moan and bitch about my story and have yet to write a story : I don't give a flying hoot about you, you useless fucks. You don't like my story? Go write your own. Anyone who has yet to write a decent piece of literature with decent grammar have no right to whine and complain about my writing. So kindly fuck off. Stop wasting my time and yours. My review Sections is not for insufferable ingrates like you. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with this community?! Lots of authors of good stories are quitting because of these types of comments. Do I write like VFSnake? Really? But compared to the one who commented he writes much better than you. And seriously, this is my first project so cut me some slack! And if you can't do that, Fuck off! I don't need you to read my story. I don't need you at all. Nobody does. Period. Get over yourself!
Now that the replies are over, let's get the on with the story!
Story Start.
Enjoy!
Chapter 4
Sirzechs Lucifer fancied himself as a good guy. Considering everything that had happened, it would not be so far fetched. He and his band of friends, namely, Serafall Leviathan, Falbium Asmodeus, and Adjuka Beelzebub had defeated the previous four Satans in the last Civil War in the Underworld and had claimed the position of Lucifer for himself. He had power, prestige, the highest position one could gain in a devil society, a sister he adored, a family; a son and a hot wife to boot. So overall, Sirzechs Lucifer had a very good life. He had worked in the peace making between the other factions so that his people would be safe. He had worked towards the development of Devil society, both Scientific and Cultural, so that his kind could live comfortably. He had done so with the ambition of making devil society as civil as possible unlike their previous state of living where warmongers were praised and peace makers were called cowards. He had abolished the barbaric way of the contract with humans. Making the dealings safer for both parties. He had even found a way to quell their thirst of battle with Rating Games. So all in all Sirzechs was a good guy.
That reason begs a very good question as to why he was biting his nails and pulling his hair in worry as he was inspecting the clearing where the strange energy originated a day ago? Well, because the very clearing was in Kuoh outskirts. Kuoh. As in where his little sister attended High School. So like any nice guy, he was worried for his little sister.
Well, he was not exactly worried by the power surge or the place of origin of the said power surge, no, he was worried because the effects that the energy had left behind. The clearing was brimming with Natural Energy, so pure that the trees there had reached massive heights overnight. The affected area was clearly seen with its heighted canopy. Trees were normally not supposed to grow that much. Sirzechs had seen skyscrapers of that size.
He was not the only one worried though. Serafall was worried.. was, as in past tense. Looking at the woman now, Sirzechs found himself sweat dropping exasperatedly. She was cuddling with a bear. As in a wild bear. Even though considering that they are super powered devils and are much more stronger than a bear, that did not mean they would snuggle with them though.
A few moments ago, Serafall was serious. Sirzechs had not seen Serafall that serious since the Civil War. All it took was one unafraid bear in their presence and she went from a leader of Underworld to Magical Girl Leviatan~.
And that phenomenon was troubling in itself. Animals in that area were not afraid of them, at all. The presence of three Alpha devils did not phase them, they did not even spared a glance. A fact that baffled and eluded him.
'Its as if, they have someone to lean on, someone so great and powerful that even our presence and aura of ours does not phase them. Is the entity that caused the power surge were that powerful that even animals start to lean on them instinctively?' Sirzechs frowned as that thought crossed his mind. He was a Satan, one of the elites of the Underworld, as such he knew how Gods gained supports of humans. Heal a dying person here, a parlour trick there, and make a few lines for your holy book and people will be lining up just to pray to you. That is the reason why the Gods of all pantheneons choose to interact with humans. But to gain leaners in animals, wild at that! was as easy as making pigs fly and was not only unheard of, but would be rather stupid. Sure, some Gods commanded over certain animal species, but because of the special alignment they hold towards the said animals. Animals work on instincts. And to affect their instincts to such a degree, the entity must have been stupidly powerful. Animals did not trust anyone instinctively. Pets, who have lived their half of their life in the presence of humans do, but wild animals were in a big no-no.
Another thing that he found peculiar is the tone of the energy. Every type of energy has different characteristics. So have light tone, meaning the energy has relatively low power. To perform a task, much more energy is required. Devils, Angels and Fallen, Yokais, Demons have energy of this signature type. Some are heavy type, that means that the energy is moderately powerful, and has stronger properties. Super devils, Seraphs and some Gods have this type of energy signature. Another is heavier type, means this type of energy has the ability to do much more even in small quantities. Those who posses the energy of this caliber are massively powerful. Yahweh, Shiva, Vishnu, Zeus, Anubis and some other gods have been reported to have this type of signature.
This way, the feeling of heaviness of the energy signature with the increasing strength of the entity concerned. The more powerful the entity, the more heavier is the signature.
And the signature of this type was never felt by Sirzechs, ever. He had been in presence of Ophis, Great Red, Yahweh, Heavenly Dragons; Draig and Albion, even the heavy undertone of the energy was never this great. The only being who are above The Great Red and Opis are...
Sirzechs blanched.
A presence of one of them was not a good thing. They could either bring destruction or peace. They were creatures of instincts and emotions, that meant if it wanted to destroy this world, it would. And they were powerful beyond anything. The last one of them was Trihexa, a being of rage and fury, one that was strong enough that even Yahweh had to fight tooth and nail just to seal that monster away. Even then Sirzechs doubted that the monster was more powerful than this new entity.
More than that Sirzechs was worried about his sister. He loved his sister dearly. Most would think that he was a sis-con pervert with less than acceptable love towards his sibling, but the truth was entirely different. If they would have bothered to look into his life, then they would have known the truth.
Sirzechs had known war from a young age. He had seen bloodshed from the time where his hands should have been playing with toys, instead of a training sword. His life was bleak. He had seen fathers and brothers sacrifice themselves for their mother, wives, daughters and sisters. He had seen his comrades die. Those men with whom he drinked and dined died pointlessly in a bleak conquest of conquering the world at the orders of Rizevim van Lucifer, the original Satan. He was groomed from a young age for becoming the ultimate tool for the Satans. Such a life would put damper in anyone's spirit. And then she came. Rias. His beautiful little sister.
She was the light of his dark world. Even Grayfia, his wife did not gave him that comfort than holding his sister in his arms. He had been very enamored with his Rias in her early childhood. Being with her gave a sense of peace and contentment he had never felt before. The way her tiny hands would clamp around his own fingers, the was she would gurgle happily in his presence made his heart flutter in unknown happiness.
Perhaps it was the feeling of having a sister. If that was so, then he wished that feeling would never go. He had sworn that his sister would not see the horrors of wars. He would sheild her from every and any pain. The reason why he had fought tooth and nail against the Satans. And if he was correct, Serafall felt the same towards Sona.
It was also the reason he babied little sister so much. He showered her with so much affection in a simple hope of having them returned. When Rias was young, she always returned his affection with either a hug or a sloppy kiss on his cheek. And then she grew up.
Everytime Rias would shrug off his affections hurt him. He never expressed his pain before but he did feel his heart break a little every time. Grayfia was aware of this fact and would always stop him from showing his love for Rias in public simply so that he would not be hurt for the blatant disregard of his love, by reprimand for etiquette.
Nevertheless, Sirzechs never stopped. Perhaps it was empty hope of having those affections returned ones again, but he never gave up.
Just the thought of his little sister in presence of threat as great as a primordial made his stomach twist. Regardless of how Rias acted towards him, he still loved his sister.
Disregarding the distant call of 'Wait!' from Leviathan and Asmodeus, he created a Transportation circle. Kuoh was not safe for Rias now. Not until he got to the heart of the matter. Nevertheless, he needed to check on her immediately.
Serafall and Falbium looked baffled for a moment before they narrowed their eyes. He must have been onto something hence the prompt disappearing. They knew exactly where he was going. Creating the transportation circle of their own, they too vanished.

Naruto followed Sasuke along the hallways of the school. He had taken personal task of orienting Naruto to the various clubs of the school. Hinata had still refused to leave his side and Saya had taken his shoulder again. Sasuke took the lead with him and Hinata following closely behind. Sakura had to tend to helping Shizune, who was working as a nurse in School Infirmary.
They reached a dojo where, he could see, were various students dressed up in armor and armed with kendo sticks.
Which Sasuke informed him was the kendo club.
Naruto hummed. Entering the club room silently, he still could not deter the others from taking notice of him. Most began murmuring about him, regarding his strange behavior. Heh. He could imagine. Of course, when a known student suddenly gets a very beautiful girl jumped in his arms out of the blue and he then introduces himself to the students who already knew him would ring the bells of any idiot.
Regardless, he took it in stride and ignored most. Sasuke followed him silently, wondering what was in his Hokage's mind. Nevertheless, he did not raise his question.
Naruto looked around the students, female students that were practicing kendo katas and almost snorted in disgust. He had hoped that the name Kendo Swordsmanship would atleast carry some weight and he would get at least some challenge for his kenjutsu from anyone in the room, Sasuke excluded. His kenjutsu was at another level entirely. He treated Kenjutsu as an art form. The dance of blade was as sacred as it was coveted. Many of the great names in swordsmanship had respected the art enough to dedicate their entire life on mastering the art. Naruto may not have given his entire life in its study, but still he respected the art at its highest. He was more of a versatile weapons user, but the greatness of Kenjutsu did never elude him. Sasuke Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Uzuki Yugao, Gekkou Hayate, Samui, Killer Bee and Kushina Uzumaki were some of the most famous swordsmans of his land. Seeing the mere mockery of the swordsmanship happening in the room nearly made him rage.
Have understood that these children knew nothing about battles and warfare, that they are living in peacetime. In this age of guns and technology, swordsmanship was an obsolete and outdated skill in battlefield, and that it was only viable to use it in sports, but doing so was an insult to their ancestors who had mastered the art. Those who gave their blood, sweat and tears to master the art of swordsmanship. Those who defended their wives, children and their lands in with nothing but a blade. The perversion of Samurai swordsmanship called Kendo was a personal insult to him and those who he respected as a swordsman. Considering this mother was one of those masters, it was offending him deeply. He wanted, no, he needed to show them the true art of swordsmanship, even though he was not a master
Still, Naruto wished to measure himself against somebody. Naruto was just not satisfied with creating swords, he was proficient in using one too. Heh, what can't boredom do someone. It could even make someone who was too disinterested in even writing a word to a publishing author. Anyway, getting out of this subject now.
Untangling himself from Hinata, Naruto went forward and gently picked up a stray bokken and looked at it with a critical eye, judging its quality and strength. He ran his fingers on its edge briefly before nodding. The bokken's quality was not up to par with what Naruto wished, but still it would get the job done.
He grinned lopsidedly before turning to Sasuke.
"Oi, Sasuke, wanna spar?" He called out loud for everyone to hear.
Most of the people perked up. During the whole tenure that Naruto Setsuna had attended Kuoh Gauken, he had never displayed any interest towards swordsmanship or kendo. As a result many of the club members stared at him curiously, trying to figure out his game. Anyhow, they figured it would at least show what he was capable of.
Sasuke grinned. Naruto had pulled the thoughts straight out of his head. He was itching for a fight anyways.
"Sure, but don't complain when I kick your ass." He replied, smirking cockily.
Shedding his overcoat and blazers along with Saya, Naruto grinned back.
Picking up another stray bokken, Sasuke took his normal sword stance. The bokken was held in reverse grip, positioned at the back of his right hip. His one visible eye was resting solely upon his opponent.
Naruto, on the other hand held his bokken in a forward grip, above his shoulder. His weight was shifted on his left leg. Most would consider this as a hole in his stance, but Sasuke knew better. Naruto may look vulnerable on the first glance, but he knew that making this assumption would be his downfall.
And then they ran. Meeting halfway on a dead sprint, both clashed, hard. Not enough to produce large shockwaves, but enough to make the audience cringe. That sort of clash would put immense backlash on the hands, painful backlash. The force was large enough to make the friction between them to make the wood smoke. They both jumped back, gaining distance.
Shortly, they charged again, this time in a series of clashes. The sound of wood smacking wood echoed throughout the school and soon, a large crowd had gathered nearby to see the action. The students were in awe at the dance of wooden blades performed before them.
Sasuke slashed downwards in a right arc, which was expertly parried by Naruto who responded with another slash of his own. Sasuke showed his expertise with the blade and blocked it. After a moment of deadlock, both separated again again. Naruto lashed out with a sweep kick in response to a decapitation strike, Sasuke jumped up to dodge but Naruto was prepared. He brought his word up in an arc and slashed hard. Sasuke again used his bokken to block, but being in mid air proved to be his disadvantage. The force of his strike sent him flying away.
Showing his flexibility and grace, Sasuke promptly flipped back on his feet before skidding to a halt. He did not get the time to breathe though, Naruto was already onto him. He parried a stab from Naruto before jumping back. That stab was aimed directly at his ribs. His shirt though, was not so fortunate. There was a large tear in the fabric, that extended from his chest to his hips. Naruto attacked again, putting him on the defense once more.
The jaws of the students dropped in shock and awe at the skills of the two. Murayama and Katse, two of the best Kendo players in Kuoh Academy were watching in shock as the two boys duked out slash after slash at each other. These two were in a whole another league. Murayama, who belonged to a clan of Samurai swordsman, who also performed exorcism, traditional Shinto exorcism, knew when she sees someone who was a good swordsman.
She had been practicing Swordsmanship since she was a child. She knew how hard one had to work to master just the basics of swordsmanship. To see the two of them fighting at such a level, it was utterly unbelievable for her. Her shock was great enough that she did not even notice Yuuto Kiba, who was supposed to summon the two dueling boys to the ORC, besides her, gaping at the ongoing spar.
Naruto hastily parried a stab from Sasuke's bokken. The match had taken a twist. A little short while ago, Naruto was on the offensive, but that changed quickly. Sasuke, showing excellent footwork, had entered Naruto's guard and jabbed his bokken right through the shirt near his right armpit. The result? A viscious tear in his shirt that split the entire right side of his shirt. Blocking another strike, he jumped back to take a breather.
He slashed his sword in the empty air, before resuming his stance.
This time, Sasuke was the one to attack. Naruto parried a hasty slash. The force of the blow separated them a few feet away. Both of them took this opportunity to stab each other in the neck. Fortunately, they missed by just a flick of their necks. Their collars were not so fortunate. Both of their bokkens pierced their collars. The only way left was to move forward, so they did. A viscious tearing sound later, both found each other's shirt hanging on their swords, and their half naked body on full display.
Not a least bothered by the state of their dress, the two continued to trade blows after blows. Slash. Parry. Stab. Stab. Block. Parry. The two continued till the reached the epic climax of any spar, the last faceoff.
Both were staring at each other intently, waiting for that slight twitch that spelled of an impending attack of their opponent. Beads of perspiration decorated their foreheads like clear crystals of diamonds. A drop of sweat silently snaked its way from Naruto's chin and dripped down on the floor.
As the drop hit the floor, both dissapeared, to the onlookers anyways. For them, it was not even close to their maximum speed. Both collided midway, but this time, they traded a series of slashes, parries and dodges.
Finding a minute opening, Naruto took it immediately, and budged his shoulder on Sasuke's chest. In response, Sasuke grabbed Naruto arm, before hooking on it and tried to run around Naruto. Unfortunately for him, Naruto saw the tactic and did the same to negate it, which resulted in both trying to get around each other turning the whole fest into a merry go round. Naruto suddenly unhooked his arm, resulting in both of them flying away at a tangent. Sasuke rolled for a few seconds before stopping in a crouch. Naruto in turn skidded to halt, assuming the same crouched position. Both were staring at each other with a grin. Regardless of what saw, they were happy. Others may have seen the viscious fighting spree with an intent to harm, but for them, it was just a light workout and fun. And they were enjoying it.
'Let's end this' both thought in unison, before they charged. Naruto skidded low and turned, trying to perform an upper slash on Sasuke, unfortunately Sasuke was faster and turned around just in time and retaliated with a very strong downward slash.
With a loud crack, Naruto's bokken shattered in the middle, its upper portion dropped on the ground with a wooden thud. The kisari of Sasuke's bokken was directly under the blonde's chin.
Naruto raised his hand in surrender.
"I concede."
The battle was over.
It was the expected outcome, Naruto decided. He may had been adept in using a blade but Sasuke was the master of it. He had been training from his teen years in using a blade and had mastered it completely. Even though it seemed that Naruto was keeping well up with Sasuke, he knew that he would lose. The flow of the battle was controlled by Sasuke for the entire time of the duel. Sasuke could have ended it in his first attack. Instead he chose to go on a defense first, probably so as to give him a chance.
Every time Naruto landed a hit, it was always returned back. Those attacks that targeted his body or were painful were always parried or blocked. Sasuke never took a hit and so did Naruto. But the fact still remained that Sasuke had the upper hand.
Similing, Naruto walked towards him before he gave his hand forward with his ring and his middle finger extended. The Sign of Reconciliation.
"It was a good fight. Seems like you haven't rusted a bit."
Sasuke smirked back and extended his own sign of Reconciliation.
"You did not tell me that you learned how to use a blade."
"Heh. Lots of free time. Besides I was bored. Had to do something."
"Hn." Sasuke replied before wrapping his extended fingers around Naruto's.
They tossed the bokken away.
Hinata smiled at them exasperatedly. Even old age and a new life had not diminished her husband's voracity in the slightest.
Naruto replied with a bright smile, seeing her expasperation.
The trio chattered their way seemingly forgetting about the throes of girls fainted on the floor. Nor did they notice the gaping mass of conscious students or the bokken that they used, disintegrating into saw dust.

Rias paced back and forth frantically in her clubroom. Akeno had a worried expression on her face. Besides her, Sona looked calm and collected, but after being with her for a long time Tsubaki knew her King too, was equally troubled.
The peerage of Rias and Sona were gathered in the Occult Research Club.
Their peerage watched them with worry. They had never seen Rias and Sona distressed in forever. Tsubaki wondered what the hell was wrong with them.
Tsubaki had been in the library when Reya Kusaka had came running to her, saying that Kaicho had called a meeting in the Occult Research Club. That was odd thing in itself. Normally, when the arranged meetings were called, it was usually in the Student Council chambers, and they were given a prior notice for it. For the meeting to take place in Occult Research Club so sudden meant that it was about something which should remain unheard from prying ears.
She hurried herself to the Old School building which was converted into Club house for the Occult Research club. First thing she noticed was that every member of respective peerages were present barring Kiba. She wondered where he was. She had been disappointed about the absence of her crush, but she shook away those thoughts. Now was not the time for it.
"Pacing here won't amount to anything Rias. It will only make our peerage more nervous." Sona called out calmly to the red haired devil.
"I know Sona." Rias' voice was strained and tinged with distress. "I know, but I can't help but be worried. This matter is something itself to be worried."
Rias had been worried since Naruto first appeared in her class. At first, she thought he was a normal person with a pechant for showing off. Rias knew about the Setsuna heir. After all, any High Class Devil worth their status would have knowledge about anyone living in their territory, especially if they belong to a known human organisation. Reports had described Naruto as a spoilt heir, who was given too much too early without proper guidance. His parents, Setsuna Minato and Setsuna Kushina, were mostly absent from his life. It made him grow bitter and resented towards them. He also was a known playboy and a womaniser. He had no existing relationships and was generally about one night stands and extravagant parties. He had no knowledge about supernatural nor he housed any sacred gear. Nothing in him was worth noticing for Rias.
They were dead wrong. What she saw this morning was entirely different. Naruto was a flashy person, but other than that, there was no other similarities between his original character and the reported character. He was in love with Hinata Hyuuga, and was Sasuke Uchiwakiri's and Sakura Haruno's best friend. Tsunade Senju was his godmother.
Worse than that, he was a transcendant. It was a fact that plagued Rias' mind ever since she came to know about it and it was eating her out.
Sona looked at the pacing form of Rias and sighed to herself. This matter was not something that was supposed to be handled by themselves. By everything Unholy, it was supposed to be handled by their elder siblings. Sona was amongst the first to know that Naruto was a transcendant. She also knew how powerful those beings were. Comparing them to Satans and Gods would be like comparing a calm pond to a raging sea. There was simply no contest.
And Rias had to go scratch the Tiger through Kiba. She had just sent Kiba to fetch Naruto and his group for an impromptu meeting. She had also called for a joint meeting of both their peerages, despite Sona's protests.
Even though she reluctantly agreed, Sona was rather satisfied with Rias' call. Now atleast she would be spared from calling a meeting with that monster.
"If may ask, what is this meeting about Kaicho?" Her Queen's voice cut her out of her musings.
"Naruto Setsuna."She answered tiredly. This whole ordeal was tiring for her. She would have rather fixed this meeting at a later date, preferably in the company of their elder siblings, but she would take what she could get now. Procrastinating this matter further may cause tensions between her and Rias which she did not want. Especially in the face of this issue.
"The new boy? I have heard that he is a rather spoilt child. And he is nothing special besides being rich." Tsubaki replied back.
"That's because you did not see him in our class." Rias butted in. "His aura alone, or lack of it, put the fear of God-ow in my heart. He may seem like an ordinary person, but trust me he is much more. He is a transcendant."
And the bomb dropped.
Both their peerage's mouth opened in shock, except Akeno's. She just shuddered remembering something. 'Transcendant'. That term was not taken usually, or lightly in any matter.
"What?" Tsubaki questioned lowly.
"Yes, Tsubaki. What indeed." Sona replied.
"This matter is not something we should poke around." Finally getting the crux of the matter, Tsubaki responded. "By everything Unholy, it should be handled by the Satans!"
"I know, but its something we cannot ignore. Either way, it is a matter of our territory, and as such it is our duty to see to it." Sona replied, seriously.
"You did not see him in class Tsubaki." For the first time, Akeno spoke up, her voice was terrified beyond reason.
"Those eyes. Those chilling eyes." She continued babbling incohorently.
The rest, who did not know what exactly a Transcendent was, looked at her in shock, wondering about who, what could have scared someone as the Thunder Queen so badly.
Everyone who knew Akeno, also knew that she was not someone who feared something easily. She was brave, courageous, confident, seductive, strong, a little sadistic, and had a jealous streak a mile wide. She was someone who kept her calm on any situations no matter how dangerous. She was a pillar who kept Rias' peerage floating when her King was down. Scaring her was not an easy feat.
Seeing her blithering in fear scared her more than she could describe. She was sure that others were scared as well. Looking aside, she saw Koneko furiously munching on cookies. An obvious sign of distress from the young Rook.
Tsubaki gulped in nervousness. The fear was palapable.
"The way he delivered that threat: No, it cannot be called a threat. It was a promise. A promise that will come to pass should anyone that cross him." Rias said shakily. Even remembering that event gave her shivers. "And he looked right at us! He looked right at us as if he knew who we are and what we can do, Tsubaki. He is more scarier that anyone I have ever seen."
"Aww, I am not that scary am I? And Akeno, I think my eyes are pretty attractive, not scary."
Rias, Sona and Akeno paled at that voice.
Everyone jumped and their head snapped at their direction.
Naruto and his friends were just standing just beside the door. She had not even registered them entering. Hell, she did not even hear the door opening.
"Really Rias, you don't have to fear little o'l me so much. It would be bad for your health." Naruto replied, grinning mischievously. Besides him were giggling Hinata and Sakura. Sasuke just looked plain annoyed. Kiba was right behind them, having an expression between strangulation, apoplexy and constipation.
"H-how long have you all been there?" Rias squeaked, pale and scared for her life.
Sona sat ramrod straight and Akeno; Akeno looked like she wanted to be anywhere else but here.
"Long enough to know how much you are scared of me." Naruto replied, amused. "Sorry though, it was not my intention to scare you so much." He added sheepishly.
Rias would have believed him if she was not scared out of her wits by this man. For all she knew, it could have been a lie to get her guard down.
"Please take a seat." Rias offered, immediately slipping into her King mode.
The guests thanked her and took a seat beside Koneko, who was still nibbling on her treats. She watched Naruto pointily as if he would bite her. Naruto just replied her with a charming smile.
With warm blue eyes that looked at her with genuine happiness at meeting her, that slight quirk of his lips and those whisker marks, Koneko genuinely found him very appealing. She looked away. If anyone had paid attention, they would have noticed a small blush of her cheeks.
Hinata sat right beside Naruto, and promptly put her head on his shoulders and sqished his arm tightly into her bust.
Sasuke took the seat beside Naruto and Sakura besides him. Sakura imitated Hinata perfectly by doing the same thing. Sasuke's cheeks reddened just a bit.
Rias and Sona took their seats right in front of them. Sona took the lone one seater and Rias took her chair behind the desk.
Naruto looked at Akeno who was still terrified at being in proximity of him.
He squinted his eyes and observed her closely. Akeno visibly fidgeted under his scrutinizing look.
After gazing at her one last time, he nudged Sasuke on his arm.
"Hey Sasuke, are you sure she's not your long lost sister or something?" Naruto questioned him.
Sasuke looked at him, wondering what the hell was he on about, before he followed Naruto's line of sight that is. "..No" replied, after a minute of consideration.
"Heh." Naruto snorted. "If I did not know any better, I'd have said that your parents kept her a secret from you."
That open statement caused a few blank looks being directed towards him.
Sasuke closed his eyes before giving a lopsided smile. "Yeah. I'd think that too."
Naruto sniggered for a moment.
"Um, excuse me. But can we know what are you guys talking about?" Rias felt pretty stupid asking in a manner that would be considered a demand, to a Transcendent. Though she was to curious to know that it took over her caution. Then again, Naruto seemed pretty nice to take offence of it. He won't take offence of it, probably, hopefully.
"Well, Akeno here-" Akeno tensed. "-looks just like Sasuke's mom y'know. So we were just wondering.." Naruto replied sheepishly.
Rias raised an eyebrow at the odd and blunt statement. Nonetheless, she was amused.
"And you were wondering if she was his long lost sister or not."
"Ara? Is it true Sasuke-kun?" Akeno asked bemusedly, getting over her fear for the moment.
"Exactly it is. Hold on a moment, let me show you." Naruto replied excitedly. He wordlessly created a shadow clone before grinning. If anyone was surprised by the exact copy of the person sitting in front of them, they kept it to themselves.
The clone created a half ram handseal and was promptly covered by smoke.
When the smoke cleared, their jaws dropped. Before them, was a lady that could be considered one of the most beautiful lady they had ever seen. Long luscious black hair that flowed down to her back, a round face, flawless pale skin and inky black eyes. She had a black blouse with a black skirt that went down to her ankles. Her lips were curved into a motherly smile. She had a warm welcoming aura to around her that looked very inviting to everyone.
Everyone looked closely to the woman before them and slowly craned their necks towards Akeno, who was looking at the woman in apoplexy and surprise. She really looked like her.
"See, that's Sasuke's mother. Mikoto Uchiha!"
"..Uchiha? I thought your name was Uchiwakiri Sasuke." Sona questioned.
Naruto looked towards Sauke with a dry gaze.
"Really, Uchiwakiri, Sasuke, you chose that name for yourself."
"Hey don't judge. At least its better than Setsuna."Sasuke replied cooly to the jab on his name.
" You do know that Setsuna means 'In an Instant' don't you?" Naruto ribbed.
"Yeah I do. Uchiwakiri still sound good."
"You do know that my dad is the Yellow Flash."
Sasuke took a moment to contemplate what he heard.
"..well shit." He grunted out, annoyed.
Naruto to enjoyed giving his best friend a smug grin. Heh take that bastard!
"Anyways, were getting off the topic." He turned to Ria's before asking. "So whaddya wanna talk about?"
Rias thought for a moment before asking. There were many things she wanted to ask, so many questions that she did not know where to start.
"How did you make that clone and how did you turn into someone like that?"
"Coz I'm awesome!" He grinned.
Rias felt some heat rising to her head in slight anger at the casual dismissal of her question and his ability to give vague, practically obscure answer. Choosing to keep her rattled nerves calm, she took a deep breath before asking.
"What are you?"
That blunt question threw Naruto for a loop. What?
"Excuse me, what."
"I asked what you were? If I am right then you already know that we are devils. But we don't know what you all are. So tell me what are you?" That was dangerously bold of Rias to ask a person of such power, but to her, Naruto looked like someone who would goof off on the most serious of occasions. She assumed he would not take offense of it.
"Well, we are humans."
She looked smug for being right and looked stumped at the same time. Human? He was a human?
"I don't believe that for a second." She replied.
"Rias is correct. It is very hard to believe that a human could be have such power, nevertheless one such as young as you all." Sona added her own input.
The rest of the devils nodded in affirmative.
Naruto looked at them before looking at Sasuke.
"Really? You don't believe we are human just because we are powerful? I did not know that the devils were so arrogant to think that anything other than supernatural could have such power." Sasuke replied succicently.
"We are human whether you believe it or not Rias. Granted we are more powerful than regular humans. For example, Sakura here could punch a mountain to rubble. Hinata could probably just render any person a vegetable. Sasuke could probably destroy a planet. We are powerful Rias, but we are humans."
The devils looked very appoplexed at the thought. Since when did humans began to get so powerful. It was not unheard of though. There were many humans who have reached the level of gods. Gautama Bhuddha for example, was ascended to the level of God through his own spiritual growth. There have been many other examples, King Solomon, King Arthur, and many other humans have ascended to a level so powerful that they could rival Gods and Satans. However there have been no record of humans who have recently Transcended nor are there any reports of humans on the path of trancendence. This may be bad for them, very bad. Especially if they are anti devils. She must inform this to her brother.
Speaking of...
A bright red glow erupted in the middle of the room with a the official hologram of Lucifer.
Yo. That's it for now. Hope yiu liked it. That spar was just for some action to keep you all entertained y'know. Action scenes are long way ahead in this fic. What can I do? The series itself is created that way. Anyways, I'm not here to bitch about the storyline in anime. I just wanted to say sorry to y'all for not updating sooner. Exam pressure y'know. I probably am not going to update in a long while so I apologise in early.
But If I get time, I may uodate sooner. Anyways, its time to sleep. I literally am writing this at 2:49 in the morning so yeah, I really need to sleep. And a big shout out to you lovely supporters, because of whom I am writing this now. Really, it feels good to read suggestions, compliments and criticisms from y'all. Thanks for that. Anyways.
Gotta go. Goodnight. See ya. Peace.
