"So, he needs something offered to him of value that he would actually care enough about in order to join a peerage?"

Sona's question was directed completely at herself when she spoke. She was sitting with Rias, in Rias' clubroom at the moment. Rias, in an actual show of good faith, had told her everything about her own failed attempt to get to Naruto. A foolish choice if she still wanted to get Naruto for herself in the future, but a good sign of their friendship all the same.

"He also values those with certain characteristics, he didn't want to join me because he said that I lack the capacity of a King." Rias didn't really know what that meant, and Naruto didn't explain much further. She knew he held a respect for Kiba, since the boy seemed to give off the air of a noble knight, even if Kiba didn't seem to like Naruto very much for his insults against her. "He's a very good judge of character." Rias explained to Sona.

"Oh?" Sona raised an eyebrow.

"Just by looking into Kiba's eyes, he could see how excellent of a Knight he was, as well as his burning need for revenge. He looked at Koneko, and saw what a wonderful hard worker she is, with how she trains her body. He holds a low opinion of both me and Akeno though." Rias ended up even admitting that as well. It was true, she trained her body very little. She did very basic work outs, but nothing that would stress her body too much.

She was, because of her Devil blood, just naturally seductive in form. It was the blood of the Gremory and Bael, which both produced the highest quality women in the Underworld it was said. Akeno was in a similar situation, where her bloodlines produced excellent women as well, and Akeno practically never trained her body, because she didn't need to train her body as much as her magic.

"Did you ask what he would be willing to trade for?" Sona questioned Rias.

The redhead shook her head.

"He was honestly just pushing for us to leave, while he doesn't seem to have anything against our species, he's very distrusting towards women. I don't think you have any better of a chance than I did... you actually might have a worse chance." Rias stated on those simple grounds. Sona's peerage, at the moment, was completely female. While Sona had nothing against men, she tended to lean towards inviting women into her peerage simple out of convenience of not having to deal with teenage boys and their hormones.

She prefered to look for mature men, or those who had a firm grasp on their hormones.

"I see... then I guess I won't try, I'll just go with the two I originally wanted for my Pawns. If your peerage, with Issei and Koneko, can't get him then mine can't." Sona gave up, just like that. Having an Uzumaki, the last Uzumaki in her peerage would have been the greatest boon she could ask for. She would have been happy to use all 8 of her Pawns on such a quality servant, but Rias had used the same method that she herself would have used.

She didn't have anything that Rias didn't have, and Rias had sat down with Naruto and explained everything to him. That was her method, meaning that Rias had taken a page out of her book for recruiting. She didn't have any tricks up her sleeve, and while she did have access to some hidden tricks, she didn't want to call her sister in for this and helping her convince Naruto to join them.

"Koneko?" Rias asked.

Sona gestured to the window.

"Koneko and Issei." Sona added, and the two of them looked out of the school building and saw the trio were walking off the school grounds. Rias looked at the trio with her eyes widened, since she did not order Koneko to go after Naruto. She didn't order any observation of him in the slightest, and yet Koneko rarely did anything but train, follow her orders, and play video games was following Naruto of her own free will.

Rias smiled after thinking it over.

"Well... good for her bonding with more people." Rias concluded that this was good for Koneko to have more friends. It took a rare few people to get Koneko to come out of her shell and show more of her playful side. She was an extremely sarcastic and playful girl at heart, but she was so emotionally guarded that it was hard for her to show her emotions to others. "I guess he does have that aura about him though." Rias could see why Naruto could get Koneko out of her shell easily.

He was extremely rough with his words, but nobody could mistake his aura.

Naruto gave off an aura of a kind leader, somebody who you wanted to follow and protect. His aura just inspired so much confidence that what he did would work, and made you want to believe in him. Just a couple of conversations with Naruto was enough for people to change, he was a influencer of the hightest order.

"What aura?" Sona asked, since she had yet to really feel any aura from Naruto.

"Akeno didn't feel it either... but in the split second I opened my heart to him, I understood that he wasn't a normal man. He was the kind of man that Koneko prefers, a very rare breed of person." Rias stated as she watched Koneko disappear behind the gates of the school with Naruto and Issei, and she looked back towards Sona.

"You're being purposely mysterious."

"I like our talks." Rias teased Sona a little. "Anyway, Naruto is a kind man, down to the very core of his being. He's kind, brutal, angry, and loving... for those with closed off hearts, he's a monster of a person, but open your heart to him and he's a perfect king... He's-"

"Total Package Uzumaki?" Sona asked, since she had heard that name going around the school.

"Eh? I was going to say a Living Contradiction, considering he's from the Noble Savages of the Uzumaki." Rias had yet to hear the nickname Total Package Uzumaki, but she didn't often talk to students. Sona was Student Council President, so it was her job to regularly interact with other students of the school and keep her ear to the ground for rumors. "Last night, Naruto gave Koneko a very genuine compliment. He said she was more attractive than either Akeno or I, so for a moment her heart must have been open to him. She's doesn't talk about it, but she has a complex about her body being compared to mine." Rias knew of her servant's self-doubts about her attractiveness.

A genuine compliment that eased those worries, without her being complimented in a perverted fashion would send a shock to her system. Koneko was a good judge of character, and she tended to avoid nasty people.

"Well, she is a Nekoshou, the two of them are quite similar historically. Koneko was set to be executed for her sister's actions, and her species was already at the brink of exctintion. Naruto's entire clan was wiped out, out of fear as well. I'm sure that she expected him to join your peerage, and she wanted to be friends with him." Sona could understand at least that much. Koneko wanted somebody who was her age around, and somebody who experienced similar things to what she did.

People tended to gravitate to those who understood them, or went through similar experiences. Both Koneko and Naruto were unwanted orphans from nearly extinct people, but Koneko got love in her life before Naruto had.

"With just a couple of words, he has made even me think about myself and want to change for the better." Rias explained with a sigh of disappointment.

Sona raised an eyebrow.

"You lack the capacity of a king you mean?" Sona asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I've had my peerage for awhile, but even after all this time and all the love and affection I shower them with... they are still all emotionally broken people. What they needed wasn't just my love, they needed more than that... and Naruto is already giving Koneko what she desperately craves, something that means nothing coming from me." Rias explained as her gaze back filled with self-loathing.

Her peerage was very happy with their lives, but they all still had deep seated issues that she had been unable to solve in years of effort. No matter how much love she showered them with, nothing ever really changed on the inside. Kiba was still obsessed with his revenge, Akeno still hated herself with a passion, Koneko was still filled with fear and self-doubt, and even Gasper was still unable to control his powers and was just a complete trainwreck.

Issei was her only servant that was actually a mostly-together person.

Yeah, he had some girl trauma with the Fallen Angel, and he was extremely perverted and breast obsessed, but he was a fully functional person without needing her. His issues would naturally fix themselves if he just lived his life normally. Issei was her only servant that didn't need her love or guidance to become a complete person, it was actually something she really admired.

It made her admire Naruto as well.

"My peerage has their shit together, then again I don't really have any broken people in my peerage." Sona admitted to never having to worry about that. She rarely targetted people with major issues in their life. The less work she needed to put into making them functioning people was better for her in pursuing her own dreams.

'I wonder... if Naruto was the King of my peerage, would their problems have been solved a long time ago? I understand why gangsters keep fighting him... humans are very intune with other humans auras.' Rias was very jealous.

She was a flawed person, and when she compared herself to Naruto her flaws became even more noticable. She knew she was a bit manipulative, playing with people's emotions, but she was a devil and that was normal. In one meeting in person, Naruto managed to break through Koneko's shell and attract her to him. Kiba was training even harder than before, just to prove to Naruto that she was a good king. Only Akeno, who has the most closed off heart of anyone in her peerage, was unchanged by Naruto simply because she refused to open her heart to others in any genuine way.

His very existence changed people.

He was a natural king, a person who just naturally had the ability to lead and inspire. He fulfilled the needs people had on a deep level, and despite the way he acted, once you were one of 'his people' he took amazing care of your needs and was exceedingly kind towards you. Even if he acted rough, he was a truly loving man who just didn't want to get hurt.

"... It makes me want him even more, but I know that nothing I do will ever change his mind." Rias could not see herself in a thousand years being able to change his mind. She wanted Naruto, after thinking about how her conversation with him went, even more than ever.

He was not a perfect human being, when it came to being human he was just as flawed as she was. He was a broken man, who actually did need love to solve his fundamental problems in his life. Talking with him, actually made her want to be there by his side, so that she could be one of the pillars supporting him as he attained his rightful place.

A position made for him.

That of a Perfect King.
