cHey guys and girls.

Welcome back to the new chapter of RWBNY.

So the last place we left off was where Naruto had finally been able to regain his missing arm and has very much used both Phantom Drive and Demon Mode in one go.

What more is there? Oh wait. He is to be trained by both Velvet and Maya to have become stronger. Not through ppower, but through strength.

Can Naruto learn what it truly means to be a Reaper?

Let's see.

Enjoy.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 28: Training The Devil.

Talk throughout the village about Naruto's right arm spread like nothing seen before. Soon all 5 isalnds were talking about Naruto. He soon turned into a celebrity and nearly all single women wanted to be with him. But they were soon shot down by one of two reasons.

1: They were scared to death when Velvet and Maya chased them away.

2: They found out Naruto was married already.

But alot of the women didn't really care about Naruto being married. The only thing in their eyes, were either bedding the one who looks exactly like Nero, the first Reaper. Or the ultimate prize, bedding the man AND having his child. But of course, Naruto shot them down in flames. See, unlike these girls, Blake, Pyrrha, Velvet, Yang, Winter, Ruby, Weiss, and probably Neopolitan. They all saw him as a man, not a status raiser. They saw him for who he was. Not what he was. And that was what he loved about them.

He had even been given his own place. Which was rather amazing considering that he was still the outsider. But at least he'd have a place where he'd rest his head. And he was getting annoyed with those hospital beds and food. I mean...who can sleep on those things? They feel like rocks, and the food. Wow...but Naruto had tasted and eaten worse. But his train of thought, and dosing were soon dashed out the window as a splash of ice cold water shook him to his core.

"What gives?" growled Naruto.

"Get up. Time for training." said Velvet rather coldly as an empty bucket layed in Maya's hands.

Slowly getting up with Naruto stretching his limbs, he got up and grabbed his shirt, his trench coat was very much destroyed from the attack he suffered as it just hung there on the coat hanger, destroyed. Looking to the mirror in his room, he eyed the two latest scars he had right now. One was the slash across his gut, the next was a stab wound right through his chest, and funny enough. His ribcage. Running a hand over the scar tissue, he hung his head as he looked to the still broken Osiris on the clothes cabinet before him.

Oh how Mito would be turning in her grave should the very weapon that was well known through out, to be just damaged like that. He even doubrted that the weapon could be restored to its original glory. I mean, the weapon was the only one of its kind, the only weapon to use Adamantine. A strong, vercitile metal that was then imbued with Spirit Matter. A rare crystal that is never spoken about, unless you have the right amount of coin though. These two ingredients were used to create Osiris. The metal was used due to the weapon actually needing to be a weapon, and the crystal was imbued into the scythe to ensure that only the person desired was to wield the weapon. And Mito very much made quite the name for herself with Osiris. And yes, the crystal within the scythe accepted Naruto as its new master due to the previous master passing ownership. And no, the scythe can't have two masters at once. It can only have one. And the scythe had to be passed down to a person who was of noble stature.

Once Naruto had his clothes on, he headed down the stairs and found Maya and Velvet standing there. And boy did they not look happy. Velvet stood there with her arms crossed while Maya just glarred at him.

"What?" asked Naruto as he just stood there with a blank face.

"You've been doing this haven't you?" barked Velvet.

"Done what?" spoke Naruto arching an eyebrow.

"Sleeping around with the women of the Shadow Isles. Disgusting." growled Maya.

"Whoa whoa. I'd never sleep with other women, unless they love me for me. They only want to sleep with me for what I am." retorted Naruto.

"Whatever. But I've got my eye on you." snapped Velvet eying Naruto before stopping at the shore of the beach, the same one that Naruto washed up on.

"Okay. As The Elder has stated, we are to train you in to gain strength. And for that to happen, we need to see where you stand in terms of strength. Through those means, we can fully see how to train you. So the first thing you need to do, is to go into your transformed state." said Maya.

Naruto meerly dropped his head as he breathed in and out slowly. Slowly the red vapor and lightning began to gather around him as his eyes turned a deep red as his skin began to burn. Throwing his body backwards, Naruto let off an unholy roar and he transformed into his Demon Mode. Rearing back by the power, Naruto turned to them as his massive wings folded under his arms.

Velvet meerly donned a thinking pose as she looked at him. She had to give it to him. He was rather powerful, but in actuall fighting terms. His strength was lacking. Looking to Maya, Velvet nodded to her when she locked eyes with him.

"Naruto. Maya will be your opponent. And Maya, go a little easy on him." stated Velvet with Maya stepping forward as she cracked her knuckles.

"Let's dance pretty boy." said Maya as Naruto charged forth.

Grapping his fist rather easily, Maya just shook her head as she lightly threw Naruto back. But to Naruto it flet like he was chucked by a large distance. Skidding across the sand, Naruto got to his feet again as he looked to Maya. She looked to not even be using any form of power. This wasn't what Naruto was hoping for. Shooting as hard as he could as he beated his wings to gain more speed.

One thing Maya had to give Naruto was that he was rather fast, but still. It wasn't enough to even remotely catch her off guard. And one thing was certain for Naruto. He had to end this now, or at least prove how strong he was. But once again, Naruto was shot backwards.

This carried on for a long time. And it dragged right into the late afternoon. Looking to her pocket watch, she found it to almost be time for dinner. Telling Maya to end it. She watched as Maya smiled rather sinister like as she licked her lips.

"I was getting bored of just playing with my food." she cooed as she grabbed Naruto's leg and slammed him into the ground.

Giving the leg a twist while she had him pinned, she was soon awarded with a pained cry as Naruto's Demon Mode vanished from his body.

"Maya, don't break his leg now." chimed Velvet walking over to them.

Releasing the leg she had in her arms, Maya moved away from Naruto as he slowly got to his feet as sweat beaded down his fringe. His body had still not gotten acustomed to his new transformation. He actually wondered how long it would take until he was able to stay for longer periods of time in that form.

"You have just shown me how strong you really are. And I must say. You are extremely weak." said Velvet with Maya nodding her head.

"I barely broke a sweat with you." said Maya.

"But I was going all out." stated Naruto.

"Trust me. That didn't feel like going all out. If I went all out on you, you'd be 6 feet under." said Maya.

"You see the difference in our strength? Here we value strength above all things. You have power, but it more controls you more than you control it. The reason why we're so strong, is because our powers are so strong, we need to be stronger to control them." said Velvet with Naruto narrowing his eyes.

Thinking hard on the matter, he was given a rather strong opportunity. But in the larger picture, things are seriously outweighed. On one hand, Naruto had to get back to Mistral. Surely everyone was struggling badly and they were no doubt worried about him. But on the other, he kept wanting power. Enough to keep those he loves and cares for, and himself safe. And here he was given a golden opportunity to be trained on getting stronger.

Looking to the two girls. He got down on his knees and lowered his head to them. Velvet and Maya both stood there completely dumbfounded at what Naruto was doing.

"Please train me." stated Naruto with his head kept low.

Velvet soon smiled as this clearly showed that Naruto wanted to become stronger. Walking over to him, she layed a hand on his shoulder causing him to look to her.

"You have a long way to go, whelp." said Velvet with Naruto nodding his head.

"I'll do my best." said Naruto.

"Let's see how far you'll go to get stronger, pretty boy." said Maya with them walking off.

As they walked back to the village, Maya looked to Velvet to find a small brush of red splashed across her cheeks as she looked down at the path they were going on.

"I see that look on your face. Someone has a crush on someone." chimed Maya only for Velvet to scold at her.

"D-Don't be silly. I-I'd never love that man." said Velvet with Maya raising an eyebrow.

"I was under the impression you swung the other way. But for you to say it is a guy, that changes everything. What's his name?" cooed Maya as she chose to press Velvet on the matter.

"Just drop it. Besides, he's married." said Velvet with Maya going wide eyed.

"Oh you bad girl. Having an affair are we? Forbidden love never tasted so sweet. Am I right?" cackled Velvet only to be grabbed by Velvet with her left hand now being unbandaged.

Heatwaves were seen flowing off the arm as purple red streams flowed on the hand. Velvet stood there as she glared at her friend.

"I can't be with him because he is married. Besides, why would he love someone like me? A person who can see what you're thinking." said Velvet letting go of Maya and her arm returninng to normal with her wrapping her arm up.

"Whatever." said Maya as they carried on walking.

And scene.

So Naruto has now decided to take this training thing seriously. Even though he can't find a way off the Shadow Isles, he has decided to make the most out of this situation. And become stronger. He always wanted more power to protect those he cares for and loves. He has that very option now.

Not only that, but Velvet seems to be crushing on Naruto yet she feels she cannot overstep boundaries as Naruto is already married. Oh if only she knew that Naruto was married to other women. And that having such a relationship with him was okay.

Chapter 29: Friend To The Devil.
