Disclaimer: First Chapter
Story Start!

Rias sat across from Naruto, and she had to admit that she was rather nervous. This man was practically hailed as a god to Youkai apparently, to the point that a dream with him inside of it was considered to be the greatest honor. He was also her Rook's teacher, which gave him a signifigant importance to both herself and her peerage at the moment. She couldn't thank him enough for training Koneko, and she was curious about what he wanted with her.

He was suppose to be a neutral force, for the most part.

He didn't truly pick a side.

"Thank you for the tea, though I would prefer something sweet." Naruto admitted as he drank from the cup filled with green tea.

"I'll take a note of that. Did you have something you needed me for?" Rias asked with a look towards the window, and she saw that Koneko was getting caught up with Yuuto and Akeno. No doubt they were explaining to her the existance of Issei and Asia, it was an interesting story to be sure.

"Just a favor, Koneko's training is a secret, and I told her as much. Don't try and force answers out of her. That training is for her alone, not your peerage to use." Naruto told Rias, wh smiled a little more forcefully.

She had wanted to take Koneko's training as use it for her peerage.

"I see, is there a reason behind this?" Rias asked, and Naruto gave her a hard look that made her flinch back.

"I don't need a reason to not want my training methods used by others. If my training method becomes public, then people won't learn the lessons in the training. The journey somebody takes to get the training is just as important. The training is a bond between Master and Student, and will not be whored out to whoever wants it." Naruto told Rias with his tone suggesting this was not up for argue. If she wanted to argue, he would gladly shove her face through the wall.

"I understand, I won't deny I am disappointed, but I understand." Rias told Naruto, and the way she talked really did show that she understood.

Didn't mean she had to like it.

"It doesn't matter if you see this next part though, since the second part can't be done without the first one." Naruto told her ahead of time, so that she didn't assume she could spy and get secrets. That was why he was willing to train Koneko with her friends around her, because it didn't matter if they watched at this point.

"How long will you be staying here?" Rias asked Naruto.

"Until Koneko has fully finished her training, and truly made Sage Mode her own." Naruto told Rias, and he looked at Koneko with a smile and pride in his eyes as he spoke. She was giving Yuuto a hug, before she gave one to Akeno as well. She really missed them, and no doubt she would be finding the other peerage member and giving him or her a hug as well.

Naruto didn't know the gender of the current Forbidden Balor View user.

"You have no other business here?" Rias asked, and Naruto looked into her eyes, before he smirked.

"I have more reasons. I can feel that a lot of stuff will be happening around here, best to be here for it when it does happen." Naruto spoke knowingly. Rias was confused, but she was really sure that she was not going to be getting the answer she wanted.

Rias looked at Naruto for a moment.

'He doesn't seem like he is super old, and he seems to be human. His aura though, it is like standing in front of the sun.' Rias thought when she felt a shiver go down her spine. That aura of power that Naruto had was arousing, how Koneko didn't try and jump his bones showed just how much willpower the girl had.

To supernatural women, power meant everything.

Having a powerful aura was like an aphrodisiac to a supernatural woman, and the seemingly infinite power that she couldn't sense from Naruto was attracting her to him. No wonder her avoided people. She couldn't even sense his power, but she could tell it was immense. His very existance was one of power, courage, and infinite love. It was like just by being near him, she was filled with hope, courage, and she could feel her own aura being touched his his.

It was very arousing.

"Rias, tell me about how you met Koneko." Naruto requested of Rias, and she blinked in surprise, before she smiled softly.

"Well, it isn't a happy story for Koneko. She was about to be executed, after her sister killed a High Class Devil, his entire peerage, and his family... Nekoshou were considered to be a great threat. That if they continued to exist, Devil-kind would be wiped out... some voted to have them banished to Earth, but most voted for them to be wiped out... Koneko was slated to die, but my brother saved her... and to keep her neck off of the chopping block, he gave her to me." Rias explained for Naruto. Koneko being a part of her peerage was the only thing keeping her from being killed. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the story, but he nodded a little at it.

"I take it Devils still take souls?" Naruto asked her, and she shook her head.

"That practice was abolished after the last war. Now, we simply take objects of importance, and we have people fill out papers that show their satisfaction." Rias told Naruto, and by his question she figured he really was old if he remembered the days when Devils did that. It was something that they used to do when they were summoned, but not anymore.

Now they just collected the humans sins and used it to rais/recover their own power.

"Do you have any issues with Koneko learning Senjutsu?" Naruto asked Rias, and she nodded her head.

"Her sister went drunk with power when she used that. I would rather she not learn it, but it is important for her to learn." Rias admitted her own... doubts. After hearing what Kuroka did, Rias didn't feel that it was the best of ideas for Koneko to learn.

"Kuroka wasn't 'drunk with power'. She used Senjutsu incorrectly, and it caused her emotions to go out of control. Something enraged Kuroka, she used Senjutsu, and nature took her rage to new heights because she couldn't control it... to compare an incorrect Senjutsu user, to somebody who has learned Sage Mode is an insult." Naruto informed Rias, and she was surprised. She wasn't aware of that, that would mean that the Nekoshou race had been wiped out on completely incorrect information.

Rias felt an iron ball drop in her stomach.

"So... my race... wiped out the Nekoshou... for no reason?" Rias asked with shock, and Naruto nodded his head.

"Yes, it is sad that the Nekoshou were destroyed. People don't realize that sometimes they need to talk their problems out." Naruto explained with genuine sadness of the nearly extinct race.

Rias didn't know what to say to that.

"... So... What training does Koneko have left to do?" Rias asked with some hope to change the subject, and Naruto glanced at her.

"With the basics down, entering Sage Mode will be easy for her thanks to her DNA. All she needs is control, and training to fight using the power... and possibly learn to make it her own." Naruto told Rias, since this was the part she couldn't copy. Koneko could already enter Sage Mode if she actually tried to. Naruto had taught her the Toad Method for Sage Mode, all she had to do was actually pull natural energy into herself and balance it with her chakra.

Pulling it in would be easy for her thanks to her heritage, as would balancing it.

The problem would be training to use that power, and finding out Koneko's limits with the power. It would be harder for her to use with her smaller reserves, so she would have to find her own way to use it. Her own unique method advancing Sage Mode. Naruto had Tailed Beast chakra, and Six Paths chakra to enhance his Sage Mode in various ways.

He wondered what Koneko would do.

"How long will that take?" Rias asked, and Naruto glanced at her.

"First I have to find her limits, then I can tell you that. Now tell me, as your Rook, what happens to her when she becomes a High-Class Devil?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.

"She gains freedom, gets her own Evil Piece set, and no longer is required to follow my orders unless I require her help in a Rating Game. Did you think she would remain... a slave forever?" Rias asked with surprise. People always assumed that, without even trying to remember how it really worked. Koneko was only classified as a Low-Class Devil, and slave, for as long as she was a low class devil. If she became high class, she was no longer a slave, but would still be required to serve her for Rating Games.

"I would like to talk with you further about your culture, but I can see you having some training to do yourself." Naruto said as he once overed her body.

Rias chose to accept that statement at point value.

"I am a Wizard type, hand to hand combat doesn't suit me. My mother, father, and brother are all the same. We have magic, so we use it. Training my body was simply never needed. I'll never be as strong as Koneko, or as fast as Yuuto." Rias told Naruto, who snorted at her statement. He didn't correct her.

She was right after all, she didn't believe in her potential, which lowered her potential.

"So, do you have any enemies that would spy on you?" Naruto asked Rias, who winced and looked out the window, and she grit her teeth when she saw what Naruto was looking at. The orange bird, not a phoenix but something similar.

"Not an enemy. Riser Phenex, a High-Class Devil from the Phenex family. He isn't spying on me... we have a Rating Game scheduled. I managed to delay it until I had Koneko back in the group... that was his familiar, who would report to him when Koneko was back... so that he would know when he could start scheduling a Rating Game." Rias admitted, hoping for some pity from Naruto. Hey, if she got pity then she could get pity training for her peerage.

"You seem to hate him." Naruto noted, and she shook her head.

"I don't actually hate him. He is arrogant, but he has never lost a Rating Game that he didn't throw on purpose. He is a strong fighter, but my parents arranged us to be married before I was even born. As a Devil, I do respect him and his strength... but his personality ruins it." Rias admitted to her conflicted feelings. She had NO feelings of love for Riser, make no mistake, but she did respect the man. She could also see that he was arrogant, but he wasn't so arrogant as to be foolish.

He won his Rating Games for a reason.

"... An arranged marraige. Pure blood nonsense?" Naruto asked her, and she nodded with surprise.

"You experienced with this?" Rias asked, and Naruto nodded his head.

"I was the leader for my village. When people wanted to arrange a marraige, they came to me for the permit. I've seen my fair share of them. I would say half of them end in failure, but half of them do find love with each other... Do you see yourself ever falling in love with this man?" Naruto asked Rias with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't. I think he needs to experience the pain of losing, and lose some of his arrogance, before I can even be friends with him." Rias told Naruto, and she was REALLY hoping that she could get her peerage some pity training.

Pity training was still training.

"So, you decided that you would leave things up to a fight... you would settle your love life... by fighting? Instead of just talking things out calmly? Did you ever tell them the things you told me? If your parents really wanted you to be happy, they wouldn't force this on you." Naruto told Rias, who looked down. She had tried talking, but she had never told her parents the things she told Naruto. She felt like she could talk more freely around him, even after just meeting him. He gave off a very sunny aura that let you just speak your mind freely.

"Can you help me... train my peerage?" Rias came out and simply asked what was on her mind.

"... I'll think on it. I don't take sides, but this affects my students as well, so I might have to make an exception this time. If I do help, I do anything more than spar and give advice though." Naruto told her, and she still smiled.

It wasn't a yes, but at least he was going to think on it.

Chapter End!
Naruto helping doesn't mean he is taking sides. Koneko is his student, thus she is effected by the outcome of the match. Naruto doesn't stay neutral somebody precious to him is involved.
