"So what do you need?" Naruto asked as he sat down in front of Rias, a raised eyebrow as he did such. He had to wonder about this little beauty, she had a very dark and demonic aura about her. Sure, it was because she was a Devil, but he could tell she was also a rather manipulative person at heart. He could see it in her eyes, the willingness to do anything that she needed to do to get her way.
"Advise... help... uh... You're strong, I just wanted to ask you how you got so strong... maybe that will help me." Rias told him seriously. After seeing the strength that he held, she had to wonder if it was possible for her to impliment his training methods into her Peerage... every chance to increase her chances in future events was something that she would gladly take.
"Hard work, the will to never give up, guts, and fighting opponents who were stronger than me." Naruto admitted freely. Whenever he could, he would train. He trained as hard as he could, well until recently when his training was more focused towards maintaining is current strength than actually growing stronger. When he was younger, no matter how strong he got there were always stronger opponents for him to face, pushing him to his limits and making him struggle.
Now, if he so much as got serious he could easily take care of most opponents without trouble.
"That... that's all?" Rias asked, and the way she asked showed that she didn't really believe him.
"That's all, when I was a little brat myself... I would begin everyday with a 10 kilometer run, 100 pushups, 100 crunches, 100 situps, and I would go through katas. That training didn't really go anywhere, I only really bloomed after I started my career." Naruto explained to her. You grew stronger through real experience than you did through simple training. Of course, training to learn a new move or something was a different thing. That was the process of learning, which of course was better left to learning while training to learn it.
He didn't mention his Shadow Clone training method, seeing as without chakra they couldn't do that.
"So... just hard work." Rias said with a sigh, extremely disappointed with the answer. If that was all there was too it, she would just have to push her peerage harder. She would take a few weeks off of school, and push them to their limits... two weeks seemed good if hard work was all that was needed.
"Well, I guess you need a goal. Training for the sake of getting strong, and training for a goal are different. I mean, without anything to strive for training doesn't do much." Naruto told her. If she wanted to grow stronger, she would need to work at a goal to get stronger. For Naruto, he worked harder for the sake of protecting people, and never breaking his word. He got strong, for the sake of being able to say "I will protect you" and actually have the strength to back up his words.
Who knew what Rias' goal was, or what she would be willing to do to reach it.
"I see... what do you think about arranged marraiges?" Rias asked Naruto with a slightly down look on her face.
"Well, it really depends... I would never put my kids through that kind of thing, and I didn't have one... I feel in love naturally. I do have experience with the subject though. As the Hokage, I dealt with a lot of paperwork involving marraige... and I have seen some shitty arranged marraiges... and some were the man and woman fell in love." Naruto told her. He had signed papers that made it so that people were officially married, when people wanted to get married, they sent the papers to HIM so that it was approved. The same with divorce, and marraige councilling issues.
Sometimes it worked out, sometimes it didn't.
"What if he is an arrogant bastard that only thinks of himself, and his status as high class while looking down on everyone and thinking of women as part of a collection?" Rias asked quickly and bitterly, showing that she had some intense hatred going on inside of her heart for a certain somebody.
"Sounds like you have a douche on your hands. Are you in an arranged marraige?" Naruto asked her, though he had already figured out the answer.
"Yes, to Riser Phenex of the Phenex family... they have similar powers to the Legendary bird, the Phoenix... but aren't related by blood. Before I was even born, my parents arranged for me to wed him... if I can beat him in a Rating Game... then I can null the contract." Rias explained to Naruto, who nodded for a moment, it would make sense for her to want that kind of contract negated.
"Hmmm, sounds rough." Naruto said, it wasn't his problem, and he didn't really care that much. It really wasn't any of his business.
"You sound like you don't care." Rias commented to him with a certain dryness to her voice.
"It sounds rough, and I would care if it were my children... but frankly, you aren't my child. If you were a member of the Hidden Lead Village then I would consider you my child, but you aren't." Naruto told her with a shake of his head. Naruto was a Hokage, a retired Hokage, but he was STILL th Seventh Hokage. It was still his job to look after those who belonged to his village. Rias didn't belong, and he didn't think that to be mean.
"... Is there some way you would be willing to help me?" Rias asked him as she rubbed her arm, it was getting kind of nippy outside... her nipples were more visible than before, the tips of them being visible. Normally, she slept in the nude so even wearing pajamas right now felt weird on her skin.
"Become a ninja under my command, and sure I could help you... pay me to help you, or give me something of equal value." Naruto told her. He wasn't going to help her for free, he had his Shadow Clones build a dojo in the world for the purpose of him being able to teach people how to learn about each other using their fists instead of words. If she became a member of the dojo and paid him to help her, then he would be glad to... he could make a family activity out of it and train his children as well.
Oh, that sounded nice... sure he would have to dedicate a little time for these people, but if he balanced it with training his children that would make this another family activity.
Rias looked down in thought. Her parents would never approve of her paying a person for the sake of her breaking an engagement that they wanted to happen, so they would cut her access from the family funds if they thought she was doing that. They would never trust her with money again if she did something like that, they already thought she was being selfish just by her request for a Rating Game to decide the end of the engagement issue.
"Equal value?" Rias asked with a concerned tone, she didn't know what that one entailed... was he going to ask her for her body as payment? She didn't know it, but her body language showed Naruto exactly what she was thinking.
"Kid, I am married, and you might be a total babe, but I won't cheat on my hot wife... even more somebody that would be willing to have sex with somebody she barely knows, just to break an engagement. If you don't value your body, then I won't value it." Naruto told her with his eyes narrowed. He was a ninja, and though ninja used any methods to get the mission done... including their own deaths and seducing enemies, at least the ninja valued themselves. When they seduced somebody, they took no joy in it and were doing it because they were ordered to, not of their own free will.
To do it of your own free will was a disgusting thing, showing you had no respect for yourself.
Rias tensed up, since that was exactly what she had planned to do. She had planned to offer her body to somebody of low status that she believed would piss off Riser the most, enough to break the engagement.
"Can you not call me kid... I am an adult." Rias told Naruto when she realized what he had called her.
"No, you aren't. You're a kid, you don't have a lot of life experience, you are pretty young... can't drink... and you rely on others to fix things for you. If you could sacrifice something you actually considered important to you... then you would be an adult." Naruto told her seriously. At the moment, she was nothing but a child throwing a temper tantrum that something wasn't going the way she wanted it to go. Sure, Naruto threw temper tantrums... but he had actually been younger than Rias when he acted like that. He might have been considered an adult, but he did have the mind and body of a child back then.
Rias had the body of an adult, but the mind of a child.
"... So what would be equal value?" Rias asked, changing the subject back to the main issue.
"You don't have anything of equal value to make me miss time with my family. It would literally take you selling yourself as my families servant to make me consider it. I am on vacation." Naruto told her in a dull tone. He didn't know why he told her that one, the equal value thing, when she had nothing that he would consider equal in value to weeks of his family vacation.
"So no money..." Rias said with a wince.
"I'm the most wealthy man in my village, before I became Hokage was was sent on a large number of high paying missions, and the Hokage's salary is huge... that way the Hokage doesn't have to go on missions to make money. You're money is worthless in my village." Naruto added near the end. He didn't need her money, because he had a lot of his own... and with Hinata still being a technically active ninja and going on missions occasionally (with Himawari being left with Kiba, Sakura, or Shino during those times) they were making more money.
"Okay... Let me become a member of your village, make me into a ninja." Rias told Naruto, and he gave her a hard look.
"That means absolute loyalty to me, the Hokage... if I give an order, then you do it. My orders come even before the laws of Devils." Naruto explained to her. Rias gulped when she realized that there was NO easy option for her.
She either swore HER freedom and loyalty to Naruto... or she risked becoming the wife (read and slave) to Riser Phenex and reduced to nothing more than a cum-slut used for breeding.
Both options were hard for her to pick.
"If I become a ninja, you will train me and my peerage?" Rias asked with a concerned look, and Naruto shrugged.
"I would give you a task to complete first to see how determined your peerage was, but after that, I can't let a member of Konoha stay a weakling." Naruto said, and Rias twitched big time at how he told her to her face that she was considered a weakling by his standards.
"Can you not call me weak?" Rias asked, and Naruto looked at her.
"I could kill you with one punch, and make your head explode... I could kill your entire peerage and this world with ease. To me, you are weak." Naruto told her, showing that he wasn't calling her weak, just saying that compared to himself she was made to look weak. He didn't know how strong she was by this world's standards, but to his world she was weak. By the time she finished charging up her magic, she would have been killed real quick.
Rias stood up, before she got on her hands and knees, sitting on her shins... before she leaned her entire body forward so that her forehead was touching the ground.
She was showing guts, he would give her that.
"Lord Hokage, please allow me to become a member of your village... please let me be a child of Konohagakure." Rias begged Naruto in her most humble voice. She waited for the answer, and she didn't raise her head up. She would wait patiently for his answer.
...
She got no answer at first, mostly because she didn't know that she was pretty much showing Naruto her ass, with him raising an eyebrow.
She did have a nice butt, he would give her that.
"Okay then, but I won't abandon my family... if I train your peerage, then Boruto and Himawari are going to be taking part too." Naruto told her in terms that were completely unable to be debated. She wasn't allowed to debate his terms anymore, he was the Hokage... and now that she was an accepted semi-member of the village she had to obey him.
If she didn't, that would make her a Stray and place her on a kill list.
Rias was getting to know exactly what it felt like to be a member of a peerage.
He would have fun torturing... training her and her peerage.
...
Did he correct himself and say training?
What he MEANT to say was torture.
Good old fashion torture training.
Chapter End!
Now RIAS is the one placed in the same position as her peerage, if she disobeys Naruto or runs away from what he tells her to do SHE becomes a Stray... or Rogue.
Please Leave Me Lots Of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
Time to clear something up.
I do NOT hate Rias! Just because I show her negative traits, does NOT mean that I am bashing her! It just means that I am not afraid to show that she DOES have emotions, and negative traits.
Just because you show somebodies negative traits, does not mean you are bashing them.
