Naruto dodged the ponce of a large ferocious dog, before he rolled to his knees and turned to face the beast. Said dog was at least as large as a Mini-Van with fur as black as the night itself, the dog's menacing red eyes looked into the blondes equally red ones.
Salvia dripped from the beasts maw as it tightened his jaws around the handle of a large blade that it held between its teeth before it charged Naruto once more, only to be speared by a wave of ice-spikes that suddenly appeared and hit the dog into the side.
"Ice-Make Hammer!" A voice called out before a large hammer of ice appeared above the vicious dog and came down upon it, flattening it like a boot would an ant.
As the ice made hammer broke apart a shirtless teenage boy jumped in front of Naruto and held out his hand to help Naruto stand from his kneeling position. The blonde smiled and grabbed the other boys hand, allowing himself to be pulled up.
"Thanks, but it didn't need help, Grey. I had everything under control." Naruto said, gaining a chuckle from the shirtless teen.
"I know, I know, still Azazel said that this was supposed to be a team exercise, so it wouldn't do to let you have all the fun." Grey Fulbuster said with a smirk just as he and Naruto both noticed that the black dog from hell began to reform, wisps of black smoke-like shadows coming together and before long the beast once more growled at them, only this time it seemed to be even larger.
"Sometimes I hate Azazel for always forbidding me from using my bloodline during training…" Naruto muttered with a twitching eyebrow.
Grey chuckled lightly and patted his friends back, "well it wouldn't be fun if you could simply suppress any enemy we would ever face, besides you wouldn't actually become a better fighter if you did."
Grey was a thirteen-year-old boy, his most prominent feature was his spiky black-colored hair. He had dark blue eyes, and his body was toned and muscular. Grey's usual attire consisted of an unbuttoned dress-shirt, black jeans and a pair of sneakers. When fighting Grey usually discarded his shirt but due to not being able to perceive cold temperatures-due to his magic-Grey often simply strips off his clothes without realizing it himself, gaining him the nickname "Stripper" much to his dismay.
Grey was a member of the Grigori and came to work for the fallen angels due to the death of his Master and mother figure when he was still a young boy. He was a very talented mage and his Master taught him Ice-Make Magic, a form of Maker Magic that allowed him to shape ice and snow into whatever he wanted, only being limited by his own imagination. Azazel himself believed that Grey could already give the wielder of Absolute Demise a run for their money, which was something rare indeed.
After Naruto and Vali were introduced to Grey and the other human members of the Grigori, they all became fast friends, even though some humans in the Grigori still had some manner of disdain for Naruto and Vali due to them having Devil Blood in their veins.
After all most humans in the Grigori were here to get away from either devils, angels or the occasional humans…
"Well, that's true, I guess…" Naruto mumbled before he conjured up a silver-golden short-sword that looked similar to a roman Gladius. "Let's go Grey!"
Said boy nodded and followed Naruto, both charged at the dog and engaged it in close-combat. Grey too summoned a pair of curved swords made from ice and together he and Naruto began to hack away at the dog.
In a flurry of steel, ice and claws the three combatants fought, Naruto dodged a swipe from the dog's sword and immediately attacked with his own, cutting deep into the beasts snout only for the cut to immediately heal. The dog was made from shadows so it could become intangible if it wanted, it was truly a hard opponent to fight, especially when ordered to hold back like Naruto was.
Azazel made it very clear that during his training, Naruto had to do as he was told, if not then the blonde could go and train on his own. The Governor-General made it a point to have both Naruto and Vali train without using their bloodline or Sacred Gear, being a strong believer that if the boys became stronger in body their powers would grow accordingly.
Grey threw both of his ice-blades at the dog and managed to hit it right into the head before the blades exploded in a shower of ice shrapnel's but once again the shadow hound simply regenerated. The ice user cupped his fist with the open palm of his left hand and a light-blue magic circle appeared in front of himself.
"Ice Make Lance!" He shouted and five long lances of ice shot out of the magic circle and pierced the dog, sending it flying into a boulder on the training ground they were on.
"That's enough!" Azazel shouted from the sidelines, "you did well, both of you. Tobio, if you could call back your Sacred Gear?"
A young man with short black hair nodded at Azazel, the Shadow Dog suddenly vaporized before the black mist flew at the young man and got absorbed into his body.
"Good, now Vali, Natsu, switch places with Grey and Naruto, you both will fight against Penemue, and remember no Sacred Gears or special bloodlines during this training session!" Azazel barked, secretly trying to hide his smile, he just loved to drag those kids through the mud during training.
"Alright, I'm all Fired Up!" A young teen with salmon colored hair, wearing a black west with golden highlights and a pair of white pants jumped up and raised his fist into the air with a shout.
Vali just sighed and shook his head before slapping the back of Natsu's head, "c'mon Natsu, you can celebrate later…" He said before he made his way onto the training grounds, quickly being followed by Natsu.
Penemue rose from her seat and put away the book she read, she smirked slightly before she made her way onto the training grounds and came to a stop across from Vali and Natsu. With a shout of "Begin!" from Azazel, Natsu dashed at Penemue heedless of the danger she posed, flames surrounded his fists and tried to pummel the ten-winged fallen angel but missed every time.
While Vali and Natsu fought against Penemue, Naruto and Grey made their way to the sidelines of the training grounds, both boys looked to be a bit worse for wear, but they could still fight for a while if needed.
"You did good against Jin." Tobio Ikuse complimented the two teens with a small smile on his face.
Tobio Ikuse, better known under the alias of "Slash Dog" is a member and a top fighter of Grigori, and the possessor of one of the thirteen Longinus Gears, [Canis Lykaon]. Tobio is a young man, a few years older than Naruto, he has short black hair and equally black eyes, he was rather tall for his age and had a lean figure, betraying the strength that he actually had in his body. He was dressed in a pair of black dress pants and lack shoes, a white dress shirt underneath a black vest and a black fly tied around his neck finished off his outfit.
"Thanks, but your Sacred Gear is lethal." Grey said.
"Only because you both were forced to hold back." Tobio commented idly, his eyes glued onto the fight that played out in front of them. "If you would've been serious, I too would've needed to use Balance Breaker to keep up."
"True…" Said Naruto as he watched his brother fight against Penume while Natsu was trying to blindside the fallen angel, which failed miserably.
Natsu Dragneel was another human member of the Grigori, much like Grey he joined the fallen angels after he lost his adoptive father and was left on his own, only with Natsu, his father was a real-life Dragon that taught him Dragon Slayer Magic, an extremely advanced and dangerous form of magic that allows a human mage to take on the features of a dragon and thus be able to use all their abilities.
Natsu was an easy to get along with fella, he also had the uncanny ability to make friends with almost anyone, including Naruto and Vali. He was hotheaded, short-tempered and was prone to violent outburst that mostly resulted in Natsu getting a beating for messing with people that were far stronger than him.
"Ohhhh shit!" Natsu shouted as he was on the receiving end of one of Penemue's patented hell kicks of death and rocketed into the ground, face first.
"Ouch, that's got to hurt…" Naruto said, wincing in sympathy for his friend.
"Yeah, my daughter has a knack for kicking things, believe me, I know." Azazel said with a wince of his own, it happened more than once that he was on the receiving end of such kick.
"Though I have to say, Vali is getting better and better with each passing day." Naruto said, a proud smile playing on his lips.
Azazel could only nod, honestly the growth rate of both Lucifer brothers was astronomical and slightly scary, they would be Ultimate-Class in no time…

-(Present-day)-
Naruto Lucifer was in his Apartment, going through some light exercises to get his day started.
He was shirtless and doing some push-ups next to his bed, going through his third set of one-hundred push-ups, which wasn't even enough to make him sweat. After he finished with his third and last set, he stood up and walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower and get ready for his day.
He hadn't yet gotten a reply from Sona Sitri about how her older sister wanted to proceed, so he assumed that she would tell him today.
After he finished with his shower and dried himself, he yawned loudly and headed out of the bathroom, only to stop suddenly, frozen in place…
Standing in his apartment's living/kitchen area was a young woman in a French-Maids outfit. She was gorgeous, long silver hair tied into a single braid that reached the small of her back, two braided bangs that framed her beautiful face, some wild tresses of hair that covered her forehead and steel grey eyes that took in his figure with interest. Her maid's uniform was blue-white in color and accented her womanly body that filled out the uniform in all the right places.
Naruto just stood there wide eyed, only instinct kept him from dropping the towel tied around his waist, which was the only thing that kept him from standing before this gorgeous woman in nothing but his birthday-suit. Naruto could see thee woman's cold eyes trailing down his front until they stopped at his chest and stomach, he swore that he saw her eyes widen slightly at the many scars that marred his upper body, it made him feel self-conscious and he snapped out of his shock.
As soon as he did, questions began to enter his mind, who was this woman? How did she manage to pass by the numerous runes that protected his Apartment, and why in the name of his Great-Granddaddy did she stand in HIS Apartment as if she owned the place.
As he was about to open his mouth to voice his questions, the woman beat him to the bush…
"Lord Lucifer, my name is Grayfia Lucifuge, I am the Majordomo of House Gremory and the personal assistant of Lord Sirzechs Lucifer, I apologize for entering your home unannounced and for any inconvenience my visit may cause you. But I was ordered by Lord Lucifer to accompany you to the underworld at your earliest convenience, he is looking forward to meeting you and wants to talk about the information you hold as soon as possible." The woman-Grayfia-spoke in a cultured tone, her voice while soft, held an edge of authority to it that made Naruto understand that while she addressed him as Lord, she was actually the one in control of this situation.
"I see, well allow me to get dressed and we can be off." Naruto spoke stoically, reining in his emotions and uncomfortableness at someone seeing his scars, something that Grayfia apparently took notice off as she slightly averted her eyes, making Naruto feel better, if only partially.
"Of course, please take your time Lord Lucifer." Grayfia inclined her head and stepped back slightly, watching in silence as Naruto passed her, when she looked after him and saw his back for the first time, her natural pale face became even paler.
Naruto's chest was scarred yes, but it was nothing compared to his back.
Deep angry scars went all over his back, sometimes crossing each other at several points. A healed wound underneath his right shoulder blade looked like it had been caused by a bolt of lightning, several crinkled lines surrounding a round light-pink burn wound.
As Grayfia's eyes wandered over the young Lucifer's back she couldn't stop her mind from wandering down memory lane, to a dark time in her past. When she was still a servant under the old Lucifer House and the cruelty, she had witnessed the descendants of Lucifer inflict onto their servants, herself included.
Still, she did not voice her thoughts and simply waited in silence for Naruto to get dressed. Minutes passed until the young Lucifer came out of his room and Grayfia couldn't suppress the small blush that rose to her cheeks as she took in the dressed figure of the young man standing before her.
She had to admit, Naruto had certainly tidied up.
He was dressed in a pair of polished black dress-shoes, black suit pants, a silky white dress-shirt that was neatly tucked into his pants, a loosely tied tie decorated his neck and a black jacket finished his outfit.
"I'm ready to leave." Naruto said with a small smile, feeling much more comfortable now that he was clothed.
"Very well, while we normally would have to travel by train to have you properly registered, I'm afraid that we don't have the time to take the scenic route. If you could please give me your hand?" Grayfia asked, getting a nod in return before the blonde held out his hand to her. She took his large hand into her dainty ones and channeled some demonic energy through his hand. "I have given you permission to use the Gremory Families teleportation circle, please follow me."
She released his hand and created a teleportation circle on the ground before she stepped into it, indicating Naruto to do the same with a wave of her hand. Naruto got the message and quickly stepped into the circle as well, in a quick flash of light the two devils vanished from the apartment.

-(Lilith, Underworld)-
A magic circle opened in the streets of Lilith, the capital city of the Underworld, once the light of the magic circle died down, Naruto Lucifer and Grayfia Lucifuge appeared to be standing on a sidewalk in front of Satan Palace, the seat of the Underworlds governing body.
It was inside Satan Palace where the devils everyday politics were dealt with, it also held the offices of the four great satan's as well as the council chambers where the Lords and Ladies of the 72 Pillars came together to vote on big decisions that could not be made by the satan's alone.
"Please follow me, My Lord." Grayfia spoke before she began to walk towards the large and ornate doors that lead into the single most important building of the underworld. Naruto wasn't even surprised to find the Satan Palace to be far more lavish that it most likely needed to be, devils were a proud race after all.
The two of them quickly reached the entry to the palace and the massive doors opened by themselves as they came close, allowing them to walk through unhindered. Once inside the atrium of the castle, Naruto found the large hall to be lavishly decorated, a high ceiling painted by the best artists, depicting some glories of the devils past, one picture in particular showed the four great satan's standing victoriously above the defeated forms of the original satan's descendants. He couldn't help but smirk at that picture as it showed his mother bending her knee towards Serafall Leviathan, oh how he wished that he could've been there…
"My Lord, are you alright?" Grayfia asked as she took notice of Naruto staring at the ceiling in a daze.
The blonde shook out of his stupor and turned to Grayfia with a small smirk playing on his lips, "I'm fine, I was just admiring the art on the ceiling." He said, easing the silver-haired maids worries.
Grayfia nodded and once more began to walk through the grand and lavish halls of the palace, she led him up a flight of stairs, going up several levels before she led him towards a set of large, wooden double-doors.
"Behind these doors lies the Satan's personal conference room, Lord Sirzechs and Lady Serafall are already waiting for you to arrive, so be on your best behavior once we enter, understood?" Grayfia asked sternly, giving Naruto the vibe that she was acting like a mother would with her child.
It wasn't the worst feeling Naruto ever experienced.
"Understood." He simply stated, getting a satisfied nod from the maid.
Grayfia led Naruto into the room, opening the doors and allowing her charge to enter first before she followed and closed the doors behind them.
As Grayfia stated, inside the conference room, Sirzechs Lucifer and Serafall Leviathan were already seated at a large table, quietly conversing with one another. Once Naruto entered their heads snapped to him and Naruto suddenly had the feeling of being rather tiny as Sirzechs and Serafall looked him over with scrutinizing gazes.
Naruto was no fool, while he was strong enough the be called an Ultimate-Class Devil, he knew that compared the two Satan's sitting in the room, he was nothing. Even if he could match them in power, their experience eclipsed his by a wide margin and he was sure that both Sirzechs and Serafall had mastered many more fighting styles and magic spells than he did.
"Ah, so you must be Naruto Lucifer, I assume?" Sirzechs spoke, his deep baritone voice echoing throughout the room.
Sirzechs was a tall handsome man looking to be in his early twenties, he had shoulder-long smooth crimson red hair and bluish-green eyes. He was dressed in extravagant red-golden robes and had large golden-silver shoulder pauldrons that were shaped like overlaying wings.
"I am, thank you for receiving me on such short notice." Naruto said, his voice strong, even in the company of such important figures.
"Oh, don't mention it, Naru-tan!" Naruto sweat-dropped and his strong visage cracked slightly as the female Satan chirped happily.
He didn't know what was more disturbing, the fact that the most powerful woman in the Underworld acted like a hyperactive child, or the fact that Sirzechs Lucifer was facepalming while muttering curses under his breath.
Even the ever-stoic face of Grayfia Lucifuge was twitching as she took in the figure of Serafall who was happily bouncing in her seat.
"Naru-tan…?" The blonde muttered, not sure how he should react.
"Yep! Naru-tan! That's how I'm going to call you from now on!" Serafall chirped, her face split into a shit eating grin.
Serafall Leviathan was a young woman, looking to be in her late teens-early twenties. She had straight black hair tied into twin pigtails with pink ribbons and her figure was childlike, albeit with massively large breasts. Serafall was dressed in a simple black business suit with a long, smooth skirt, stockings and heels.
Naruto stood there, his mouth working wordlessly, he wanted to say something-anything-that would keep her from calling him Naru-tan! But no matter how hard he tried, the words simply wouldn't leave his mouth…
"Please forgive Serafall for her quirks." Sirzechs spoke up, "she always acted like that, we simply have gotten used to it…" he muttered.
"Zechs-tan is right!" Serafall commented and Naruto honestly couldn't help but choke on his spit, he had to hold back his laughter but couldn't help the small smirk that worked it's way onto his lips, especially once he noticed how much Sirzechs eyes twitched at that comment.
The red-haired Lucifer cleared his throat and became slightly more serious, "be that as it may, I think we should get to the point of this meeting, please take a seat, Naruto."
Said blonde nodded and took a seat at the large table, across from Sirzechs and Serafall.
"Now, my sister, Sona, called me yesterday and explained that you are a descendant of both Lucifer and Leviathan, is that true?" Serafall asked, her childish persona forgotten and in place was that of a strong woman and leader.
"It is, I am the son of Razevan Lucifer and Katerea Leviathan, the Great-Grandson of the original Lucifer and the Grandson of Leviathan." To prove his point Naruto raised one hand and created a silver magic circle which had an ornate L in the middle before he canceled the circle and created a second one, this one being golden in color, proving that he could call on the power of both House Lucifer and Leviathan separately.
Sirzechs and Serafall nodded after the demonstration, both knowing that it was impossible to fake the magic circle of a noble family. "Good, now that we have confirmed the validity of your claim, it had been brought to our attention that you have sensitive and valuable information on the Old Satan Faction and the Khaos Brigade that you wish to share, why?" Sirzechs simply stated.
"Why do I wish to go against the Old Satan Faction?" Naruto asked, getting two nods in return, "simple really, I hate my mother and any enemy of hers is my friend, I'm also not particularly on good terms with any other members of the Old Satan Faction, nor do I agree with their ideals of World Domination." Naruto explained, his voice hard and cold.
"Why do you hate your mother?" Serafall asked, ignoring the glare Naruto sent her. "I'm sorry if the question is personal or hard to answer, but I am the Satan governing over foreign affairs, I can't trust you if I don't know the reasons why you would want to go against your family."
Naruto kept glaring at the impassive Satan until he sighed. "Alright, I can understand your reasoning." He muttered and dragged a hand down his face. "I hate Katerea Leviathan because she didn't want a son, she wanted a weapon…" Naruto proceeded to tell his tale to the stunned Satan's and a sickened Grayfia, for the second time in his live he explained everything that he went through in his youth, the first time was when he told Azazel, Baraqiel, Penume and his friends in the Grigori.
After nearly half an hour Naruto finished his explanation, his face was grim but, on the inside, he felt like a small burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"I see…" Serafall mumbled sadly, while she was a hardened war veteran and had seen her fair share of violence and suffering, Serafall was a compassionate woman, to her that someone could treat their own child like that, saddened the most powerful woman of the Underworld greatly.
Grayfia too looked distressed, if only slightly, her eyes would wander to Naruto every now and then, compassion shining in them as she looked at him.
Sirzechs just shook his head in disbelieve, he couldn't fathom that someone would treat their son like an animal in hopes of turning said child into a Super-Devil, that was just wrong on so many levels.
"We're sorry to hear that." Sirzechs said, "but I think it's fair to say that no one here will question your motives after hearing that." Serafall and Grayfia nodded in agreement with Sirzechs.
"Thanks, I guess." Naruto mumbled, getting his emotions and anger under control. "Now I believe we should start talking about the information I have. I take it you already know everything I told Sona yesterday?"
"We do, she told us that you had some conditions for, let's start with that shall we?" Serafall asked and Sirzechs nodded in agreement.
"Very well, now these conditions of mine should be rather easy for you to fulfill and they aren't anything extravagant. I simply want everything both the Lucifer and Leviathan family possessed and was left behind when the descendants of the original satan's fled the underworld. I know from my mother that they had to leave behind nearly everything they owned, all the knowledge, treasures and weapons, I want to have it all and I want a full citizenship of the underworld with all the rights and privileges of a high-class devil." Naruto stated, "those are my two main conditions, there a few smaller requests that I have, but they can wait."
Sirzechs and Serafall though about those conditions for a moment, Naruto was right, they were rather easy to fulfill but it was still a lot of power that the blonde wanted. There was a reason why Houses Lucifer and Leviathan still were as highly regarded as they were. Still, the info Naruto held could be what they needed to take care of the Old Satan Faction once and for all.
Sirzechs looked too Serafall and noticed her nod slightly, giving him her agreement. "Very well, we agree to your conditions, you will receive everything the Lucifer and Leviathan Houses own, and you will become a High-Class Devil with all the privileges that come with it." Sirzechs spoke, getting a nod and smile from Naruto in return. "Now, all that is left is for you to keep your end of the bargain."
"Yes, I hope you have time because this explanation is going to take some time." Naruto joked slightly.
"Don't worry, Naru-tan, we have all day so take your time." Serafall said with a smile, getting a chuckle from Sirzechs and Naruto.
"Well, to start things off, you both know about the Khaos Brigade, don't you?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, we know about it, but not much, we don't know who exactly is allied to the Khaos Brigade and who leads it." Sirzechs said, his back straightened out and he gave Naruto his full attention.
"The Khaos Brigade was original founded with the purpose of creating an opposing force to the ever-growing alliances of mythologies, it was created as a cooperation between the Fallen Angel Satanael and the Wizards of Oz. It was later handed to Ophis the Dragon God of Infinity, who supports the Khaos Brigade for the sole purpose of defeating Great Red, the True Dragon, and banishing it from the Dimensional Gap, which Ophis claims belongs to her and her alone. And as far as I am aware, Ophis still is the leader of the Khaos Brigade, but the term 'leader' could be taken with a grain of salt."
"What do mean?" Serafall asked, her attention was solely directed at Naruto.
"Ophis is a figurehead, while she controls the Khaos Brigade she doesn't-excuse me for my language-give a shit about what her subjects do. She could care less if the Khaos Brigade were to start a war as long as at the end of the day, Great Red is banished from the Dimensional Gap. Ophis is a powerful figure that draws in new recruits to the Khaos Brigade and that is about all that she's good for." Naruto explained.
"So how does the Khaos Brigade work, how do they cooperate without a true leader?" Sirzechs asked after he processed the information he had been given.
"They don't." Naruto said, getting raised eyebrows from everyone in the room. "The Khaos Brigade is a loosely knit organization of various supernatural beings that wish to plunge the world into Chaos. There are several factions within the Khaos Brigade and each of those factions work on their own, as individual cells. Most of the factions have a strong hatred for one another, but the mere presence of Ophis is enough to make anyone think twice about attacking the other factions of the Brigade." Naruto elaborated.
"The most important factions of the Khaos Brigade are the Old Satan Faction, which is as you know led by the descendants of the original Satan's, the Hero Faction, which is led by a young man named Cao Cao, he is this generations wielder of the True Longinus and from what I know there are several Longinus wielders under his command, and then there is the Magician Faction Nilrem, which is led by Euclid Lucifuge." Naruto said and Grayfia's eyes widened at hearing the name of her brother.
"Euclid Lucifuge?" Sirzechs whispered, knowing the name of the younger brother of Grayfia, a man that was fanatically loyal to the Lucifer house.
"Yes, my grandfathers right hand man, I'm afraid that I don't know much about Euclid or his reasons for supporting the Old Satan Faction. As I said, he is my grandfathers right hand man, so it wouldn't surprise me if he founded Nilrem on Rizevim's orders, for what purpose though, I don't know." Naruto said, getting nods of understanding from the satan's.
"What can you tell us about the individual members of the Khaos Brigade?" Serafall asked in intrigue.
Naruto took a deep breath and delved into an in-depth explanation about all members of the Khaos Brigade that he knew. He went over the names and skills of the leaders of the old satan faction and what little information he had on his grandfather, Rizevim Livan Lucifer, before he went into the general forces the old satan faction had at their disposal. He shared what little information he had on the members of the Hero Faction and Nilrem, before he gave Sirzechs and Serafall the locations of the hideouts the old satan faction used, though he added that those locations might be outdated and that the leaders might've relocated their forces by now.
"…and that's everything I know." Naruto finished before taking a big gulp of air.
Both Sirzechs and Serafall processed the information they had been given, one thing was sure, Naruto had earned everything he asked for with the wealth of information he had given them.
"Thank you, Naruto, you have no idea how much this information will help us in protecting the remaining pillars from the old satan faction." Sirzechs spoke sincerely.
"No need to thank me, just promise me that if you plan to attack the old satan faction you'll let me know. Only I am allowed to kill my mother." Naruto said.
Sirzechs and Serafall glanced at each other in worry, killing ones own mother, no matter how bad she was, was not something that could be considered healthy, they would need to keep an eye on Naruto's metal health if he actually went through with it.
Grayfia looked at Naruto's back in worry, after hearing how bad he had it in his youth, she couldn't help but feel a tad protective of the blonde.
"Are you sure that that's what you want?" Serafall asked.
Naruto nodded, "yes, I am. After everything my mother did to me, she doesn't deserve anything less."
"Alright, then we'll notify you if we intent to move against the old satan faction." Sirzechs said, getting a nod from Naruto. "So, with that out of the way, I'll think all that's left is to hand you everything that belongs to your houses!"
To Naruto it was almost scary how fast Sirzechs could change gears from being a serious, demanding, leader to being a goofy dude. Though it seemed that both Sirzechs and Serafall possessed that talent, because no sooner had those words left Sirzechs mouth, did Serafall go back to being a bubbly chirpy little girl on a sugar high.
"Wait, what do you mean with MY houses?" Naruto asked, though he did feel a sense of foreboding.
Sirzechs chuckled, "isn't obvious? You are the last loyal, pure-blooded member of both the Lucifer and Leviathan Houses, if you were to officially act as the head of both houses, you would bring them back from the brink of extinction."
Serafall continued from where Sirzechs stopped, seeing the uncertainty on Naruto's face, she tried to pitch the idea to the blonde. "Just think Naru-tan! Not only would you gain the legal citizenship of the Underworld, but you would be ranked as a Great King amongst the remaining pillars! You would wield the same influence as the Head of House Bael!"
"Yes, but I would also have far more responsibilities than any other Lord of the underworld, not to mention that I would be the head of two empty houses, with no members, no servants and no one to help me lessen the work load. That's not even mentioning that I'm not sure if I want to completely ally myself with the underworld yet." Naruto said, getting raised eyebrows from everyone in the room. "Don't get me wrong, you have been exceptionally nice to me, but I have many dear friends in the Grigori and other mythologies around the world, and I have no desire of making them my enemies simply because the devils as a whole don't get along with their pantheons or factions."
"Well that wouldn't be a problem." Serafall said, getting a raised eyebrow from Naruto. "You see Naru-tan, we actually have been working on a way to form an alliance between the biblical factions to finally stop the fighting between the angels, the fallen and the devils. As for the other pantheons around the world, we are neutral with most of them, so it wouldn't be a problem for you to be on friendly terms with the members of the Grigori and other mythologies. Quite to opposite actually, it would help us devils as a whole, we would gain a foothold to form alliances and treaties born on friendship."
Naruto thought about it for a few moments before he relented, "well, when you put it that way, I guess I have nothing to lose. Though I will say it right away, I'm no ones puppet, not yours, not the councils, not Lord Bael's, no ones. If I should find out that anyone is scheming to use me, be it through politics or any other way, I will retaliate, violently." He warned seriously.
Sirzechs couldn't help but smirk at Naruto, he had to admit, the kid had guts and he respected that in a man. Serafall's train of thought went along the same lines, though for different reasons, she always found men that didn't take shit from anyone attractive and licked her lips hungrily as she stared at the serious visage of Naruto.
"Understood, though I hope that you are aware that sketchy politics are a daily routine for the Lords and Ladies of the Underworld." Sirzechs said. "Everyone tries to get the upper hand in the game of politics and most Lords and Ladies are rather good at playing it. If you were to react violently every time someone tries to play you, you won't be a Lord for very long." The redhaired satan warned.
"Believe me, I am aware." Naruto said with a knowing smirk.
"Good, now then, I think that we covered everything of importance for the day and Serafall and I need to get back to work." Naruto couldn't help but chuckle at seeing Serafall's childish pout as Sirzechs explained that. "We'll have everything that belongs to you ready for you to collect within a few days, including your official citizenship and the documents that prove your status as a high-class devil. Though we will need to conduct a test in order to determine if you are an Ultimate-Class Devil or not. For your Evil Piece Set you will need to have a meeting with Ajuka Beelzebub, and finally someone will lead you to the castles that once belonged to your ancestors, where you then will have to choose either one of them to act as your main residence within the underworld. Don't worry, while the castles may have been deserted for years, we took steps to ensure that they were taken care of and cleaned at regular intervals, if only to ensure the survival of our cultural heritage."
Naruto nodded, "very well, when can I be taken to the castles of my families? I would like to get those things sorted out as quickly as possible." He asked.
"Whenever you want, just let us know and we'll arrange an escort that will take you to the Lucifer and Leviathan territories." Serafall stated with a smile.
"Then if it wouldn't be too much trouble, I would like to see my families ancestral homes after this meeting." Naruto said.
"Very well, we will arrange for someone take you to them." Sirzechs said with a smile before Grayfia spoke up.
"Sirzechs-sama I could give Naruto-sama a tour, I still remember my time living in the Lucifer territory and know it like the back of my hand." Grayfia spoke stoically.
Sirzechs looked at the silver haired woman, some worry shining in his eyes. "Are you sure Grayfia? You don't need to offer your help if you don't want to, I'm sure that Naruto wouldn't want you relive painful memories." The redhaired satan spoke softly, he was aware that Grayfia didn't have an easy life serving under the Lucifer clan members.
Naruto looked taken aback by that statement, he wondered how bad his family treated their servants in the past and hoped that Grayfia wasn't treated too bad.
"I'm sure Sirzechs-sama, I have long since made peace with my past." Grayfia said, though she couldn't help but smile slightly
Sirzechs nodded, "alright then I'll allow it." He said before he turned to Naruto. "Now then, I think we've talked enough for one day. You may take your leave." Sirzechs said and Naruto nodded.
The blonde rose from his seat and dismissed himself with Grayfia following behind Naruto.
The two satan's could only wonder what the future held in store for them.

A/N: Hey there! I'M BACK!
Sorry for the long wait my friends, I had a s*** load of work to do and had to put writing on the backburner for a while.
Well, with that out of the way, I hope you enjoyed the chapter! I wanted to make it longer at first, but then I figured that this was a good place to stop. Next chapter we will go over Naruto receiving what is his and we will go back to Kuoh and deal with Issei and the Fallen Angels.
Now then, I need to make some announcements my friends!
First and foremost is the fact that from here on out I will make several changes to the Highschool DxD Universe! I will give most of the Gods and Goddesses of the series a complete makeover, making them more serious and FAR LESS perverted! Odin will NOT be an old pervert! Zeus will NOT BE GONE! Ophis will NOT BE an emotionless ice-block! Great Red will NOT BE some lizard doing nothing but fly around like a retard!
And finally, I will COMPLETY SCRAP Highschool DxD's fucked up power rating!
Yes, the top ten, I just kicked them outta the window! Hindu God's will NOT have brass balls and I will not allow them to walk all over the members of other religions! Hinduism has a large religious following and I agree that their gods are awesome, but I find it preposterous to place several Hindu gods at the top while COMPLETELY IGNORING the high beings of other mythologies and religions.
Now I will not enter a religious debate over which god or goddess is the strongest or best as I'm honestly not a believer, but I will not ignore Gods like Chaos of Greek Mythology, Amun, Osiris and Ra of Egyptian Mythology, Izanagi and Izanami of Japanese Mythology or any other MAJOR God or Goddess that I can think off.
The next change concerns the devils and any other demons of various mythologies that I might add later down the line, they will not be nerfed. Devils and Demons are the antithesis of Gods as such they have the power to match them, period. Lucifer was the God of the Bible's equal, he was Satan, someone that could match God in everything, and as the God of the Bible is the only God in Christian mythology I will go ahead and place him into the same league as Chaos and Shiva, so Lucifer could and would match the top beings of the Cannon DxD Universe.
The same goes for Sirzechs and his fellow Satan's, I will not make any pantheon inferior to another, the three Biblical Factions will match any and all mythological figures in the DxD Universe. There will be NO God or Goddess that has the power to simply stroll into the Underworld, steal some powerful weapons and walk away without anything happening to them.
Why am I doing this?
Simple my friends, tension.
I wat to create a sort of tension between the EXREMLY powerful beings of the DxD Universe. It always annoyed me that DxD hyped all those powerful beings up so much and yet we never got to feel any kind of tension. Kokabiel, the Star of freaking God attacks Rias, Sona and their Peerage's, yet what damage did that several thousand-year-old War Veteran do? Nothing, absolutely nothing. He destroyed a Gym, hooray!
Not in my story.
There is only one thing that you my readers need to know, the different pantheons around the world are not neutral to one another because they want to be neutral, ohhh no, no, no.
They are neutral because they know that if their BIG players were to fight one another, dimensions would be ripped apart, mountains would be leveled, countries would be destroyed, and billions of people would die.
There will be tension in every interaction between powerful beings with both parties knowing that if it came to fight, the creator gods better get ready because a new word will be needed.
So, with that out of the way, let's find out if Naruto, Vali, Rias and Co. will manage to survive in a world filled with unimaginable powerful beings, each and everyone of them capable of destroying the planet Goku Style!
R&R!
See ya next update!
