"So, either of you finish it yet?" Naruto drawls as he looks at the forms of his students, both laying on the ground completely covered in dirt. They both give him a nasty glare that causes him to recoil and grab his heart.
"Those looks hurt you know. And here I thought my two precious students cared about me" Naruto says sadly, but neither girl is feeling particularly forgiving. It's been 3 and a half weeks and they still haven't completed it yet!
"No one cares sensei" Vali says annoyed. She has barely seen her sensei in weeks! She just wants to get this over with and spend time with her sensei again. Who knows what he has gotten up to since she has been away?
"Actually, what have you been up to Sensei?" she questions.
"Oh, you know training, watching after you two, taking out a rogue Fallen and then going out for a drink or two. The usual" Naruto says with a shrug.
"You hunted a Fallen and then went out for a drink? With who?" Ravel asks curiously.
"Azazel texted me that there was a 2 winged Fallen in Egypt causing a stir. I easily killed him and then I visited the Great Pyramids of Giza and went out to a bar afterwards. Turns out, there was a god there! Struck up a conversation with him and he is a pretty chill dude. We have plans to get together next Friday" Naruto says with a smile. It is good to have a male friend finally. Females are great and all, but he really wants to cut back with some guys and relax.
"Well at least it isn't a goddess…" Vali mutters to Ravel who nods her head. They already have enough competition regarding the blonde.
"So, who is the god?" Ravel asks.
"His name is Khonsu, the Egyptian god of the moon, time, and youth" Naruto says. Both are pretty surprised, but with their sensei they have learned to not be overly shocked.
"Anyways, Ravel-chan, are we going to your house?" Naruto questions.
"Hmmm, why? We are only going on… ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NARUTO-SENSEI!" Ravel shouts and quickly hugs him. Vali is right behind her, hugging him fiercely.
"Happy birthday Sensei" Vali says. She pulls him down slightly, stands on her tippy toes, and plants a kiss on his cheek.
Naruto blushes slightly at the unexpected kiss on the cheek, which makes Vali inordinately pleased. Ravel huffs and jumps up and plants her lips quickly on his other cheek before gravity takes her down.
Naruto blushes even more so. "Thanks girls. I have never had a true birthday celebration in my life, so this will be a first for me" Naruto says as he gives a light chuckle.
Both girls grimace as they know Naruto's childhood was very rough for him. Beatings on his birthday for something he didn't have any control over. They don't care if he forgave them, in their mind they never will.
"Don't worry Naruto-sensei! We will make it one you will never forget!" Ravel says determinedly.
He pats her head with a chuckle. "Thanks Ravel-chan. You're going to be a fine woman someday" he says with a nod of his head while her face erupts into a dark blush. Even Vali, who has been okay with her pursuing Naruto-sensei, sends her a dark glare.
"Don't forget Sensei. You're my Sensei. And I will turn into a great woman one day soon. In fact, I would already say I am one" she says as her eyes shift down to her body, getting Naruto's eyes to unconsciously follow hers. Vali has continued to grow and honestly has the body of a 17-year-old who is fairly well physically endowed with D-cup breasts, a skinny waist and nice toned ass and legs from all the training that she has been going through. Her entire body is taut with power brimming under her skin.
"Yeah you certainly aren't the small timid girl I rescued 2 years ago. Now you are a strong, talented, confident, beautiful and smart nearly 15-year-old girl who I am proud to call my precious student" Naruto says fondly. Vali hits him with a half-hearted punch in his arm as she blushes crimson. Naruto just laughs at her expression as he finds it amusing and cute.
"Since we are going to Ravel's, I'll allow a special one-time exemption into the house so you can shower and look presentable. I don't want your parents to think poorly of me" Naruto says.
"Naruto-sensei, I went back immediately after Hell Month in a way worse condition than this. The entire mansion staff and my parents thought you did something untoward me. Rest assured I told them nothing of the sort happened" Ravel deadpans. Naruto's face turns a little pale as he nervously chuckles. He doesn't need an angry Layla Phenex to kill him.
"Sensei would never do something like that!" Vali says heatedly with a bit of anger on her face. How dare they think he did something horrible to Ravel!
"They know now don't worry" Ravel says, calming her down slightly. "Let's go get ready Vali! I'll help you do your hair!" she says as she pulls the girl along by the hand. Naruto walks after them, a fond smile on his face. Even though he isn't in his original world, he can't bring himself to be sad anymore. These two girls have given him everything he possibly needs to thrive in this world and he wouldn't change anything.
An hour later Naruto is sitting on the couch in a silk orange button down, the top two buttons undone with his black dress pants and shoes on as well. His blonde hair still as spiky as ever, no amount of product can change it.
He hears feet coming down the steps and finally, the girls are ready. He stands up and turns around and his eyes widen briefly in surprise. Ravel is the first one down in a dark blue dress, matching arm sleeves, choker, shoes, and scrunches holding her twin blonde, curled pigtails and black stockings. Truly, she looks like the epitome of a young ojou-sama.
A step behind her is Vali who would have a lesser man die of a nosebleed. She is wearing a light silver dress that displays her ample cleavage and has a high slit up to her upper thigh on her right side. Her slightly darker silver hair flows down her back all the way to the top of her butt. She is walking in heels, not super gracefully but well enough to get by. Naruto can't help but blush at how good she looks.
"Wow you two! You both look absolutely spectacular!" Naruto praises, getting two pleased smiles in response. They only dressed up for him after all.
"Thank you, Sensei. You look rather dashing yourself" Vali comments as her eyes run up and down his body. She knows that under those clothes is a body every male in the world would be jealous of. And one day, it will be hers.
"I agree with Vali Naruto-sensei. Orange is truly your color" Ravel says with a nod. Naruto's smile gets a little wider and now he is blushing a bit in embarrassment.
"Now stop flattering me you two. It embarrasses me" Naruto admits. Both girl's smiles get slighter bigger.
"Now why don't we get going. I am sure Okaa-sama has everything prepared by now" Ravel says. Ravel and Vali each take an arm of Naruto's and Ravel activates a teleportation circle.
They appear directly in front of her mansion and both Naruto's and Vali's jaws drop at the size of it. There are easily hundreds of rooms in this place!
"Wow, this is easily the biggest house I have ever seen. Nothing even comes close" Naruto says as he regains the ability to speak. He also notices how the entire yard is perfectly manicured, not a blade of grass out of place.
"No wonder you were a spoiled princess that had never trained before" Vali says and Ravel shoots her a glare.
"I am not that way anymore! Naruto-sensei made sure of that. Thank you for that by the way" she says as she squeezes his arm.
"Ah no problem. I told you it is something of a specialty of mine" Naruto says with a chuckle. "How about you give us the grand tour later? It seems like it could take a while."
"Of course! No making fun of my room however! I haven't had time to change it yet" Ravel states. Her room right now is completely pink with many stories of a prince rescuing a princess. She even has a few action figures!
"No promises" Vali says with a smirk.
"Come on Naruto-sensei" Ravel says as she pulls his arm. "I don't think there will be anyone home except for my family. Not even their peerages."
They walk in through the front doors and Naruto is once again captivated by the sheer wealth this place has on display. Priceless works of art, gold trim everywhere, marble floors and red carpet that looks like it was woven from the finest materials. Then he looks up and sees a magnificent crystal chandelier illuminating the reception area. He has no doubt the rest of the house is like this.
At one point in time, he might have been disgusted by all the wealth on display, but now he doesn't care what they do with their money. It's theirs after all. Still, the amount of gold is a little gaudy.
"This is very…grand" Vali says after a pause to find the correct word.
"I think this reception area could fit our whole house" Naruto says in a deadpan, getting a sheepish chuckle from Ravel.
"Yes, well devils are known for displays of grandeur, especially my family. Let's go greet my family first. They are probably outside on the patio" Ravel says as she leads them through the house. They pass countless doors and various gathering areas before finally reaching the sliding glass doors that lead outside.
Ravel opens them with barely a push and walks outside, with Naruto and Vali following. She looks to the left and sees her mother, father, and oldest brother sitting around a table chatting.
"Okaa-sama! Otou-sama! Onii-sama! We are here" she calls out. Their chatter instantly ceases and they all look in her direction, with Revan and Layla Phenex getting smiles, while Ruval's is on the whiskered blonde behind her. He recognizes him as the SS stray from the Leviathan!
Instantly summoning his magic, he launches several fireballs at Naruto, while creating a ginormous magic circle 20 feet above and drops a huge fireball onto him.
Vali and Ravel instantly react, Ravel forming a magical shield that easily tanks her brother's frontal attack while Vali creates one above them, the fireball crashing into it and the flames cover it while also spilling out over the sides. Meanwhile, Naruto is standing there with his eyebrow raised, not concerned whatsoever.
Vali then creates 15 magic circles in the space around them about to shoot off various ice spells at Ruval before Naruto holds up his hand, signaling her to stand down. Vali reluctantly complies, though keeps her guard up.
"Ravel! What the hell are you doing? That's an SS Class stray devil behind you" Ruval yells shocked.
"Onii-sama that is my sensei. You will NOT attack him" Ravel yells out, giving him the nastiest glare he has ever received from her. In fact, it might be the first glare he has ever received.
Layla, snapping out of her shock, immediately hits her the back of her son's head and gives a bow. "I am sorry Naruto-dono for my eldest son's behavior. We were just about to inform him of you being her sensei before you walked in" Layla says.
"Maa maa, don't worry about it. I was never in any danger anyway. Good job Ravel-chan, Vali-chan" Naruto says as he waves away her concerns. If he didn't know, then it would be reasonable to attack him.
"This is real?! Kaa-san, Tou-san, you are really allowing him to train Ravel?" Ruval asks shocked.
"Yes Ruval. It is real and you very well will show Naruto-dono every respect or you will be punished" Layla says with a smile that promises pain should he answer wrong.
Ruval stands there dumbfounded. His parents are allowing a Stray devil, one of significant power going by his classification, to teach Ravel. Not to mention let her live with him as well!
"…Why?" he asks.
"Why?" Ravel parrots angrily, still annoyed that her brother attacked her sensei. "Because, simply, Naruto-sensei is amazing. He saved me from being kidnapped, changed me from a spoilt, untrained princess into someone who is confident in herself and skills, taught me morals to live by, and takes care of me without asking anything in return!" she yells heatedly.
Ruval stands shell shocked at Ravel's outburst and looks to Naruto who is rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. Vali grins at Ravel for giving their sensei the praise he deserves.
"I feel the same way too Sensei" she whispers to him. Naruto blushes slightly, but doesn't respond.
"Again sorry for that Naruto-dono," Revan say as he eyes him intently. His wife told him of Ravel's affections for her teacher and wants to judge his character. His daughter speaks very highly of him, but he wants to form his own opinion.
"It really was no trouble. You saw how my two favorite students handled it. Also, please, call me Naruto" Naruto says nonchalantly.
"Now!" Layla exclaims clapping her hands together, "why don't we get to know each other all a little better? I would definitely love to hear everything you three have done the past 9 months! And maybe a demonstration of Ravel's skills?"
"Okaa-sama!" Ravel whines.
"Sure! I have a few funny stories of Ravel-chan" Naruto says as he takes a seat, his two students flanking him. Vali continues to give Ruval a fierce scowl, making him slightly more uncomfortable than he already is.
"Perfect!" Layla says with a bright smile.

Ravel sneaks away from everyone else to check on the cake that she is baking. When they first got here, she left for 15 minutes and went to the kitchen. She has always enjoyed baking and if she does say so herself, she is an excellent baker. Now, the cake should be nearly done.
She gets to the kitchen and spies on her baking cake.
'It looks ready! I hope Naruto-sensei enjoys it. Okaa-sama told me that one of the ways to a man's heart is through his stomach' Ravel thinks excitedly. She then blushes as she thinks of another way her mother told her to get a man's heart.
Shaking away her naughty thoughts, she opens the stove and grabs the metal pan barehanded. A Phenex can't be burned by something that is less hot than their flames. When Naruto-sensei learned this, he constantly had her try to increase their intensity. One less weakness to worry about. She still constantly trains them, even during the last month. Sensei said he wouldn't train them, but not that they couldn't train themselves.
She quickly gets to work cooling it off by manipulating the air around it. She adds just a hint of ice magic to the air to cool it, but that's it. Her skill in ice magic is nearly non-existent.
After it cools off, she applies the icing, making it all white with an orange swirl in the middle. Satisfied with her work, she quickly sets out to bring it to her sensei, imagining him patting her on the head for a good job. That's her favorite reward from him.
As she rounds a corner lost in her thoughts, she nearly runs into someone, using all the coordination and balance she has to nimbly avoid them while also keeping the cake intact. Breathing out a sigh of relief, she looks back and sees her brother Riser.
"Ah Ravel, Riser heard you were back home from whatever you were doing. You will join Riser's peerage as Riser's bishop" he states with a tone of finality.
"No I won't onii-sama" she instantly replies.
Shocked that his younger sister denied him he says again "Yes, you will Ravel."
"No! I won't join your harem that does nothing other than have sex with you. Now I have to go onii-sama" she says as she starts walking away.
Riser's shock soon turns into anger that Ravel said no to him. How dare she! He grabs her arm and pulls causing her to jerk back suddenly and loses her grip on the cake. It splatters on the ground in front of her.
"Now listen here-" Riser says before a hard punch lands in his stomach followed by several more hits, including a knee to the groin. He staggers back in pain, shocked that his little sister hit him. He looks into her eyes and slightly flinches at the anger in her eyes.
"That cake was for my sensei" she says deathly calm, which somehow raises the hairs on the back of Riser's neck in slight fear. "It is his birthday and I wanted to give him something special. Now it is ruined because of your stupidity. You will go to him and sincerely apologize and ask for him to wait for me to make another one or I will castrate you" Ravel threatens.
Riser, a devil who has an extreme amount of pride and will pretty much never back down except to someone he knows outclasses him, decides to swallow it and apologize to whatever high-class devil for what he did as a favor to his sister. It isn't because he is a little afraid of her right now! Nope!
Ravel uses a small amount of fire magic to burn the ruined cake to ashes and walks off a brisk pace. Riser follows along reluctantly, the previous topic of discussion all but forgotten.
They soon reach the patio where everyone is located. Her mother's eyes light up when she sees her, but frowns in confusion when she doesn't have the cake. Then she sees Riser behind Ravel and her eyes widen. She hopes Riser has the sense to not attack Naruto. His magic reserves outclass his by a fair margin, not to mention his chakra. This time she had a much harder time sensing his chakra as his magic has gotten even better at obscuring it.
"Now apologize" Ravel says with authority, trying to emulate her sensei when he gives them an order. Riser, however, is busy ogling the silver-haired bombshell sitting at the table. Forget Ravel, he wants her in his Peerage!
Giving his most charming smile he approaches her and says "Riser is the name! Will you join Riser's peerage as Riser's bishop?"
"No" came the immediately cold response with a glare for extra measure. Ravel looks on with anger as not only is her brother not apologizing to Naruto-sensei, but he is even trying to get her best friend to join his harem!
Riser frowns slightly, but he isn't easy to deter when a body like hers is the reward.
"Are you sure you don't want to join Riser? Riser will take very good care of you" he smirks arrogantly.
Vali adopts a severe scowl with anger in her eyes at the suggestion. How dare he!
"Not in a million years would I ever look at you with any hint of sexual attraction you pompous, arrogant, small limp-dick asshole" Vali says with a smirk as she sees his expression change from a fake pleasantness to anger.
"Well I'll just show you whose limp-dicked-" he says as he reaches for her, before a hand with an iron grip grabs his arm. He looks up and stares into ice chip blue eyes.
"Layla, Revan, if you don't want me to turn your asshole of a son into paste, you will have him apologize to Vali and leave" Naruto says lowly, but anyone with ears can hear the genuine anger in his voice. Vali gains a blush.
Layla and Revan finally snap into motion. It was like watching a car crash in slow motion in front of you, only you can't help nor turn your eyes away.
"Riser! You will apologize to Vali this instant or so help me…" his mother threatens with his father giving him a stern expression. Ruval is still shocked by the treatment and threat he made against a guest!
Riser, however, only focuses on the blonde grabbing him. He flares his power, trying to assert dominance over the teen. The blonde starts shaking, making Riser think that it is working and he smirks, until a snicker of laughter makes it through his lips and the floodgates open. The blonde is openly laughing at him, as if mocking him! Him! A high-class devil, not a low-class reincarnated devil.
"It's funny when a chicken threatens a fox" Naruto laughs out, but there is no amusement in it.
"How dare you! Unhand me now you low class devil!" Riser snarls as he tries to pull his arm away to no avail.
Layla goes up to her son and smacks him, stunning him into silence. She then forcibly grabs his arm and pulls him away from everyone.
Ravel starts crying and runs to her room. Naruto, Vali, Revan and Ruval stand around awkwardly.
"He may have the biggest stick up his ass I have ever seen. And I have seen many" Naruto says getting a laugh from Vali.
"Yes, we are hoping he will change soon. Especially with his arranged marriage to the Gremory heiress" Revan says.
"He usually isn't that bad" Ruval says in defense of his brother.
"…You are letting him marry the little sister of Maou Lucifer? I don't know much, but I heard he is a siscon of the highest order" Naruto says with a raised eyebrow. "That's not going to end well for your family."
"Imagine the child born between them having the Power of Destruction and our Immortality. They would be a shoe in for a Super Devil!" Revan defends his position.
Naruto and Vali let out a snort of laughter at that. A child being powerful just from being born? Ridiculous.
"No one is just strong by simply being born. There is no shortcut to power. The only way is hard work that is paved in blood, sweat, and tears. Just look at Ravel" Naruto says with a shake of his head. Truly, there is something wrong with Devil society.
"Regardless, Riser will marry her" Revan says with a note that signal the discussion is over. Naruto shrugs as it doesn't concern him.
"Vali-chan, let's go get Ravel-chan" Naruto suggests. Vali hops up and grabs his arm as they walk off. It takes them 15 minutes to find Ravel's room. When they do, they knock on the door and with no response other than the faint sounds of sniffles, they walk in.
They see Ravel in her wrinkled dress with her face in a pillow sobbing. In that moment, Naruto is reminded that this is only a 13-year-old girl, mature yes, but not a shinobi like he has been treating her.
Approaching her, he softly calls out "Ravel-chan?"
Ravel looks up from her pillow and sees the vague silhouette of her sensei and Vali through her tears. She starts crying harder and Naruto quickly wraps her up in a hug. Vali sits on the other side of her and hugs her too.
"Hey Ravel-chan everything is ok, don't worry. I am sorry I caused all this trouble and for treating you two like shinobis from back home instead of young girls. All the stress I am putting on your shoulders definitely isn't helping" Naruto says sorrowfully. Training all day, including deep into the nights most days, and allowing them no time to do anything else isn't healthy. They aren't expected to go on missions and defend their village at a moment's notice after all.
"What are you apologizing to me for?" Ravel asks in disbelief while chuckling. "All I wanted was to give you a happy birthday with my family and to bake you a cake myself. Instead, you get attacked by Ruval-onii-sama, my cake is knocked out of my hands by Riser-nii-sama, and finally he threatens Vali. Not exactly a great birthday."
"I am happy to spend my birthday with my two precious people in this world. As long as we were together, I don't care about anything else" Naruto tells her.
Vali smiles at her Sensei as this just reaffirms that he is the best.
"Besides, if you want to bake me a cake you can do it at home anytime you want. Provided, of course, you finish your rasengan training. After that I will go easier on you both" Naruto says with a chuckle.
Ravel grabs his arm and stares at him while shaking her head. Vali is frowning as well.
"No Naruto-sensei, if anything, I want you to increase my training. It took me a while, but I have finally have found a goal for myself and I have to reach it at any cost. So, train me harder, please" Ravel says.
'After all, my goal is one day to stand by your side as an equal no matter what we face.'
"I agree with Ravel, Sensei. Don't hold back. You're our precious sensei just the way you are" Vali exclaims.
Naruto gives them a blinding smile that shines so bright even Rock Lee would be jealous. "Hai! I will do exactly that then. I love you both so much" he says as he wraps his arms around the both of them.
Both Vali's and Ravel's mind grind to a screeching halt. This is the first time that Naruto has told either of them that he loves them. Sure, they thought he did, but hearing the words brings about a feeling of relief and excitement! Now only to turn that love into romantic love!
"Hey Sensei, do you remember that favor that you owe me? I want you to let us spend the night inside the house and let Ravel bake you a cake" Vali says. Ravel looks at her with wide eyes as she knows Vali was saving that for something really special to do with Naruto-sensei.
Nodding his head slowly with a smile, Naruto replies "Sure I think we can make that work."
"Naruto-sensei can we go home?" Ravel asks with her eyes still red from crying.
"Of course, Ravel-chan. We can go right now" Naruto says. They all stand up and Ravel creates a teleportation circle back to their house.
