EDIT 02/18/20:

I've set up a poll regarding my question on Issei, so go take a look. If you don't vote or give your opinion in a review or Pm then any sort of complaint regarding the final decision will be ignored.

Holy crap! Over 200 follows and 100 favorites! I want to thank you all for giving this story a chance, although I have to admit that this makes me both excited to continue the story and nervous hoping that I don't screw it up and keep you all intrigued.

Before we get into this chapter I want to know your guys' opinion on what I should do with Issei. I have 3 options when it comes to this and I don't mind doing any of them.

1. He's still around and has an impact on the story.

2. Naruto takes his spotlight. Issei is still present but his impact on the story is lessened greatly.

3. Issei is completely left out of the story.

I'm still unsure which way to go due to the mixed opinions on this, but I'll know for sure which way to go for the next chapter.

Once you read the chapter I would appreciate it if you could take the time to give me your opinion (And if you liked the chapter of course)

A big thank you to those who gave me the name of the story I took inspiration from, that being The New Gods of DxD by AngelicIncubus.

Okay! That's enough rambling from me.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Highschool DxD

"Akeno, what's all the fuss about?" A busty red headed beauty asked as she noticed the ridiculous amount of girls rushing towards the cafeteria.

"It must be the new student I heard people gossiping about. Looks like a bunch of girls are rushing to get a glimpse of him at lunch."

"Really? No boy has ever gotten this much attention aside from Kiba. It makes me very curious, shall we go take a look?" Rias asked her.

"I suppose so." Akeno giggled.

The cafeteria...

"Someone please help me..."

"Bwahahaha! This is hilarious, the girls love you and the guys hate you! I'm so proud of you, kit."

"How does this make you proud?" Naruto asked incredulously.

"It means you can bed anyone you want here! How long has it been since you've had sexual intercorse? Do you even remember what to do?" Kurama mocked him.

"Tch. At least I can have sex." Naruto bragged.

"Ha! Are you forgetting that I can feel everything you do? I don't need to have sex, you fool!"

"It isn't the same." Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Does it look like I care? Anyway, you should probably stop talking to me and pay attention to the humans around your table."

"For what? They're only staring at me, no one's even made a move to talk to me."

"Hello? May I ask for your name?"

"You were saying?"

Naruto took his eyes of his ramen to look at the first person to say something to him.

"Would you look at that hair, Kurama. Remind you of anyone?"

"Kit, red hair reminds me of a good amount of individuals. You'll have to be more specific." Kurama informed him.

"Must you be so irritating? Who have we met recently—"

"Well, no one since you don't go out." Kurama laughed boisterously.

"Kurama, please be serious or I will cut the link."

"Sure, sure. Sorry." Kurama apologized, his laugh reduced to a fit of small giggles.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, it's nice to meet you..." He trailed off as a sign of asking for her name.

"Rias Gremory. It's a pleasure." She said as she elegantly extended her hand out.

"Yes. A pleasure." Naruto smiled as he took her hand.

The girls around them squealed in response to their small interaction.

Naruto sighed internally, "To this day, girls are still such a mystery."

"So, was there a reason you came to meet me?"

"Not particularly, mere curiosity. No boy has had such a popular reception, other than Kiba of course."

"So, you wanted to see what the fuss was all about?"

"Yes, you could say that. I also heard you practice Ninshu and that you're very knowledgeable in it. That's not something you see quite often."

"I take it you're interested?"

Rias nodded, "Very much so. I'm the president of the Occult Research Club so I tend to like things regarding the supernatural."

"Hahahaha, you hear that Kurama? The Gremory heiress is not only using her real name in the human world but she also runs a supernatural club! Isn't that hilarious? I mean, how stupid can you be?" Naruto laughed so hard mentally that he eventually began laughing aloud.

"You okay, Naruto?" Kurama asked, his worry increasing by the second.

Rias tilted her head in confusion, "What's so funny?"

"I'm... sorry. It's just... you don't seem... like the type... to believe... in that stuff." Naruto responded as his laughter died down.

"I am interested in it though. I've always been very curious about Ninshu." She said seriously.

Naruto's smile and laughter disappeared as she said that, "Is that so? What then? You want me to teach you what I know?"

Rias nodded vigorously, "If it's not too much to ask; I would like you to come over to the ORC building and teach us what you know."

"She's serious..."

"Looks like it... You should do it, it'll be a good way to interact with others, even if they're Devils."

"All right... I'll do it." He said, albeit hesitant.

Rias smiled at him, "Great, I'll send someone to get you after school. Let's go, Akeno." She said as she told up from the table.

Akeno nodded and smiled at Naruto before following after Rias.

As soon as they left he was surrounded by girls again.

"If only God was still alive, maybe he'd somehow help me out of this situation. He seemed nice enough."

Kurama snorted, "I doubt it, not only would you be his competition for human followers but killing his children, fallen or not, wouldn't do you any favours."

"I was mad, okay? I wasn't really thinking properly."

"Trust me, I remember clearly. You weren't just mad, you were furious. But that's in the past, and even with all your powers you can't bring him back to life."

"I know. Doesn't mean I can't feel bad." Naruto lamented.

Kurama sighed, "Kit, he was already very weakened when you showed up. If not you, then someone else would've—"

"I know, I know, you don't have to tell me again."

"It's almost the end of the day. I haven't been able to concentrate, I can't wait to see what the Gremory group is like."

"I wonder if she's any different to the rest of her kind."

"That's why I agreed to do it in the first place. I want to see what kind of devil the heiress is, if shes's kind or just as vile as most Devils... You do what I told you?"

"Yep, I've suppressed your chakra enough that they won't know how powerful you are. I did ihave to make a small amount be noticeable, since they think you're a descendant of someone who used Ninshu."

"Good job, Kurama."

"Heh. No sweat."

The bell rung and almost instantly someone stepped into the class, his presence elating groans and squeals.

"Are you Naruto Uzumaki?" The blonde prince asked.

"That is me. You must be Kiba."

Kiba nodded, "If you'd follow me."

"You ready?" Naruto asked his partner as he went after Kiba.

"Always."

The ORC

"Naruto should be here soon. I expect all of you to be in your best behaviour. I'm looking at you specifically Akeno."

"Me?" Akeno gasped. "But whatever do you mean by that? Fufufu."

"She means don't be you." Koneko looked at her stoically.

"But where's the fun in not being allowed to tease him?"

"You can tease him, just don't overdo it." Rias rolled her eyes.

"Yay, thank you! No promises though."

"So, I saw three guys earlier getting beat up by some girls. What's up with that?" Naruto asked Kiba as they walked into the room.

"That was the Perverted Trio. They get beat up by the Kendo club when they catch them peeping on them or any girl in general." Rias answered his question.

"Serves them right." Koneko grumbled before munching on a cookie.

"So, what did you want to know Rias? I brought some scrolls since I wasn't sure what you would ask me." Naruto sat down and began placing some scrolls on the table.

"I want to know how to get in contact with your God."

Naruto paused, "You wish to speak to the Ninshu God?"

"That's correct."

"You should know that's impossible, it's not only because his whereabouts are unknown but because you don't even practice Ninshu so what makes you think he would do what you'd wish of him?"

"Because I've read he was one of the most compassionate beings. That he'd do his best to help those in need no matter who they were."

"And where did you read that?"

"My family... they took whatever scrolls they could save from burning after he left his temple in Kyoto."

"Then why need me? Surely you found something that could help you in those scrolls?"

"I suppose... I just didn't know how accurate the information was."

"Maybe I can help. What did you find?"

"Well, you know of the "Unopened Door", right?"

"Of course I do. It's been closed for as long as Ninshu has existed and no one has ever been able to open it. Well, more like it can't be opened."

"That's the thing though. It can be opened. I studied the seals and compared them to—"

"Buchou, shouldn't you ask him first before saying anything else?" Akeno interrupted her.

"Oh, yes. You're right."

Rias cleared her throat, "Do you believe in the supernatural, Naruto? You believe in your God, but do you believe in anything beyond that?"

"You mean like Devils, Angels and the like?"

Rias nodded.

"Of course I do... Everyone who practices Ninshu believes in the existence of such beings..."

Rias smiled as she was about to speak but Naruto continued.

"And almost everyone hates those beings. Considering they're the reason why he's been gone for so long."

Rias frowned, "I don't think that's a fair assumption."

"Assumption? But it's true. It was the Devils and Fallen who tempted his followers."

"Were they not at fault then? They allowed themselves to be tempted." Rias argued.

"Humans are easily tempted creatures. They couldn't resist the idea of more power."

"Then maybe he shouldn't have given them any power at all."

"It wasn't his intention for it to be considered power but something that everyone would share equally. It was the words of those monsters that twisted that idea."

"Devils aren't monsters..."

"You mean to tell me that the creatures who convinced humans to kill and violate someone's family aren't monsters."

"Devils aren't monsters anymore..."

"I sincerely doubt it..."

Rias eyes glowed red, "That's enough. You will tell me what I want to know and you will forget ever coming here."

"Rias! You said you wouldn't use magic on him!" Akeno scolded her.

"I've changed my mind." She looked at Naruto dead in the eyes, "Now tell me what I want to know."

Naruto nodded numbly.

"Is there any way to open the door?"

"Yes."

Rias' face brightened up, "What do I need?"

Naruto pointed at one of the scrolls on the table.

Rias quickly grabbed it and began reading.

She visibly deflated after a few minutes.

"What is it?" Asked a worried Akeno.

"The seals aren't magic, they're made with chakra..."

"Then maybe Koneko could open them?" Akeno suggested.

Rias shook her head, "Only the God himself or someone with his blood could open the door... There is no other way..."

"Maybe... Maybe you could pray to him? Surely he will answer. His followers may hate our kind but that doesn't necessarily mean he will."

"Have you forgotten the stories about what he did during the war? He decimated the Three Factions, there's no way he'll help us."

"He was grieving the death of his family... He must know that we are different."

Rias sighed, "I suppose it's worth a shot..." She turned to Naruto again, "So, what do I pray to him?"

He blinked slowly, "Anything really... as long as you end your prayer with Toad Sage he will hear you..."

"Toad... Sage?"

"Yes... it's rather strange..."

"Told you it should've been something else."

"Oh yeah? Like what? I am a Toad Sage so it's an accurate way to end a prayer."

"Bah. I don't know but you probably could've thought of something cooler." Kurama grumbled.

"... please Toad Sage, I pray you answer me." Rias finished.

"He won't answer you..." Naruto said.

"I'm doomed... I thought he might have been able to help me..." Rias put her head down and began crying, "You can leave now."

Naruto stood up and slowly left the room as if he was in a trance. He stopped and groaned as soon as he was far enough.

"Let me guess. You're going to go and see what she wants? I knew you were still a softie under that tough exterior you're pretending to have."

"Shut up. I'll visit her tonight just to see what she wants, I doubt I'll actually do what she asks of me."

"Right... We'll see."

It was late at night and only Koneko, Akeno and Rias remained in the club room. Rias had been working on some papers after she finished crying for the third time. Akeno and Koneko were there to support her in case they needed to.

"Thank you for staying with me, but I'm fine. Promise."

"It's nothing, but no matter what you say we're not leaving." Akeno told her while Koneko nodded in agreement.

"Rias Gremory..."

"Who's there?!" Rias looked around in warning.

"Did you not call me?"

"Are you...?"

"I'm the God of Ninshu and I've come to hear your request..."

I know what some of you must be thinking... That was pretty short to have taken a month and you are right. Unfortunately, I didn't have as much time as I would've liked to work on this but trust me when I say the next chapter will be significantly longer than this one so I hope you bear with me. I am also trying to get used to writing longer chapters. I hope that nonetheless you enjoyed this chapter and hope you read the next.
