Review Response:
Crywolfseven: That's funny, and the suggestion isn't that bad.
Lilhuesos: Yeah, I did, and Naruto won't be training Issei, someone else will.
Kragh50: Thank you and hopefully, I can still entertain you.
Wolf1741: Yeah, he should.
TheAussieRogue: Thank you.
NaruAi2018: Thank you man, you helped keep me sane while writing this chapter. It feels so off to me, but I pushed through it. ALSO, with what you recommended/request in chap 37, I have thought about it and would like it if you PM'd me and we will talk more details about this character.
Guest: Oh god, yes when she fought Kokabiel… she was being stupid, he is a survivor of the faction war, and she isn't. No way would she win. For this story, you will have to see what I do. As I try to keep everyone on their toes as I try to destroy expectations.
Nitewolf423: Oh, that makes sense. Sorry about that. That is funny, now that I think about it.
Darth56: Thank you man. I will do my best to keep their heads from swelling to much, as it is when the head becomes a balloon, that confidence pops.
WindCitySlayer1: Thank you.
Xethesis: Yep, because to him, Rias, Sona, and their peerage members (Minus Jack of course) are nothing but babies with weapons and no experience. So what does he have to fear.
Current Harem:
Zest, Gabriel, Lucoa, Serafall, Penemue
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HIGHSCHOOL DXD!

Chapter 39: Awaited Conversation
The silence was nearly hilarious for Naruto and his family as the Devils, minus Jack, looked at Naruto.
Some in confusion, some in shock, and at least four with a mixture of both.
"YOU ARE THE GOLDEN PROTECTOR!" Sona and Rias shouted in disbelief that he was still alive and was right in front of them.
Rias summoned her copy if 'The Golden Protector' story book and held it, her hands slightly shaking.
"Yep, that is me." Naruto responded as he internally processed and discarded his dislike for that moniker.
Rias's and Sona's brains short circuited as they tried to process this.
"Uhm, sorry for the question, but…" Issei said a loud for everyone to hear as he held Asia's hand. "But who are you?"
"That's right, you don't know." Akeno chuckled as she leaned into Anko, who was in disbelief.
"Know what?" Issei asked in confusion, feeling like he was being mocked by his Queen.
"Naruto here was the person who stopped the faction war." Asia informed Issei. "He is amazingly strong, and all the factions know of him. Though, he vanished several decades ago for an unknown reason."
"That… is amazing." Issei said as he looked at Naruto as he sat down. "He is really that strong?"
"Of course, he is." A voice said from the floor said. "He is our partner after all."
All the devils looked down and saw the nine chibi tailed beasts.
"KURAMA!" Ravel shouted as she hid behind Diego, having heard about what the tiny Kyubi had done to her brother.
The permanent marker still on Riser's face, having been infused with chakra.
"Hey, little Phenex." Kurama waved with a devilish smirk.
However, Kurama turned his attention to Rias, Isobu to Sona, Matatabi to Kuroka, Gyuki to Shirone, Kokuo to Xenovia, Son Goku to Zest, while Shukaku, Saiken, and Chomei clambered onto Naruto since Yasaka/Kunou, Tsunade, and Gabriel weren't present.
The six beasts whose blessing users were in the room went to them, perching themselves next to them.
Meaning Isobu and Kurama went to Sona and Rias respectively.
"Uhm… Hello…" Sona said as Isobu climbed into her lap, making Oscar and Lily smile and cling to his shell, confusing Sona.
"Hello." Isobu responded. "I'm glad to finally meet you face to face, Sona."
Sona was confused, suddenly feeling like she knew this creature.
'Wait, gray shell, purple skin, one eye shut…'
Sona's eyes widened.
"You are the turtle that talks to me." Sona said as she stood up, nearly making Oscar and Lily fall to the ground if Isobu didn't cling to Sona's lap with his chakra.
"Yep, that's me. The name is Isobu." He said as he introduced himself.
Sona was lost.
"Hey, brat." Kurama said as he looked at Rias. "Geez, why did I need to get a Kushina clone for my next user."
"Me?" Kushina questioned as she looked at the fox from Zest;s lap.
"No, not you sweetie." Zest said as she cuddled her daughter. "Your dad's mother."
"Ooooh." Kushina said as she looked at Rias with curious eyes.
"What is wrong with me?" Rias asked slightly irked at what Kurama said.
"I mean your hair." Kurama said as he grabbed Rias's vibrant red hair. "It is like my previous user's hair. But its much brighter."
"Okay, Kurama, that's enough of that." Naruto said as he chuckled at Kurama's antics.
Said fox shrugged before he lounged on Rias's legs.
"Mr. Uzumaki," Jack said, being polite. "What are these creatures?"
"Oh, them." Naruto said, playing along with Jack. "They are the Tailed Beasts. They are my friends and core parts of my power."
"Makes sense, but why are two of them with Rias and Sona?" Jack asked, hinting that Naruto needs to explain the blessings.
Naruto, thankfully, got the hint.
"Well, that is an interesting story." Naruto said as he looked at the heiresses. "Though it is about time that I informed you of what happened during the rating game…"
Naruto took the time to inform everyone what happened.
Rias and Sona were horrified.
"You placed monsters into us?" Sona asked shakily.
"And it took over my body and nearly killed Riser?" Rias finished.
"Yes, to Sona's question, however, Rias, you were recently given your Beast Blessing." Naruto explained. "You don't have to worry about going berserk again, as you didn't have Kurama's blessing, thus it went wild."
"Get rid of it."
Naruto's eyes narrowed at Rias as she looked at him.
"Beg pardon?"
"I said get rid of it." Rias repeated, looking at Naruto with desperation. "I don't want your power. I want to make a name for myself with my own."
"I can't take it back." Naruto said politely, but not softly. "If I did, it would kill you and Sona."
"What?" Sona asked.
"My chakra has had to much time inside of you, Sona." Isobu explained. "So, taking my chakra and blessing away would strain you to the point of death."
Rias felt overwhelmed.
She put her face in her hands, trying to calm down, but wasn't able to.
Issei touched Rias's shoulder, making her move away from him.
"Sorry, Buchou, but I got to say that you are over reacting." Issei said nervously. "Besides, Naruto must have had a good reason to give you that power."
"Actually, he didn't." Kurama interrupted, his pinkie in his ear, trying to clean it. "He accidently gave red head my chakra when he healed her leg. That is why it grew so strong over so many years being dormant and the fact that she thought you died awakened my power."
Kurama blew the wax from his nail, ignoring the looks of disbelief on the two teens faces.
"What about me?" Sona asked.
"I actually did that so I could keep you safe." Naruto said honestly. "She is my wife after all, so why wouldn't I look after my sister-in-law."
Sona heard a pin drop.
"WHAT!" Sona shouted as Isobu and the devil twins clutched their ears.
"Auny So loud." Oscar whimpered as he huddled with his sister, who nodded in agreement.
Sona softened as she held them, and then glared at Naruto.
"You are the guy who knocked up Lady Leviathan?" Garou asked, in awe that he was in the presence of the Golden protector.
"Yes, but I wouldn't use those words." Naruto explained. "I do love Serafall."
"But you weren't there…" Sona said, getting upset. "You say you are her husband, yet you weren't there when Lily and Oscar were born, and claim to love them, but I don't believe you."
Naruto did not react kindly to this slight.
He flared his power and nearly drowned everyone but his wives, children, and the Beasts in it.
"Don't ever take my absence for a lack of love or shame, Sona." Naruto said sternly while he recalled his power. "I was busy. I had responsibilities. Serafall has them too. She understood my reasons, and knows I love her and our children."
Sona wanted to puke her guts out as she and everyone else were covered in cold sweat.
"Now, back to what I wanted to do." Naruto stated cheerfully as he recalled the beasts, all of them vanishing back into him. "I am going to take over the training regimens for all of you."
Silence.
All eyes on Naruto, who started to feel self-conscious at this.
"Wait…. What?"
Lucoa laughed at the confusion
"This is so cute." Lucoa said as she watched Jack carry Jiraiya. "You guys are being offered training by one of the strongest beings in the world, does that make sense to all of you?"
"WHAT!"
"Training." Penemue said as she pushed her glasses up. "We want to help all of you to get stronger."
Sona and Rias were at a loss for words.
This man was a survivor of the Faction war, the trainer of the current Satan's, Master of the Island Turtle, Master of Senjutsu, and the one who ended the Faction war was offering them and their peerages training.
"I accept." Sona said as she looked at Naruto, seeing the physical looks that Oscar and Lily shared with him. "I think this will be an interesting development."
"Thank you, Sona." Naruto said with a smile, before turning to Rias. "And what about you, Ms. Gremory?"
"No…" Rias said while she gripped her hands. "And why should I accept your help?"
"Well, there is…"
"I won't accept help from the one who used me by putting a monster in me and refuses to take it back." Rias said angrily as she stood up, glaring at Naruto, knowing what she was doing would be considered stupid. "Not to mention you are a coward who vanished from the face of the Earth."
The older children of the Uzumaki name winced and felt a large sense of dread flood the room before they looked at Naruto.
He was calm. His face showing no emotion.
"Your point?" he asked, reserved and calmly.
"My point is, you aren't taking responsibility for what you did." Rias stated. "You refuse to take this monster away from me on top of that."
Naruto closed his eyes as he signed.
"Naruto, kill this bitch." Kurama growled. "She called us monsters three times. She deserves to die."
The rest of the Beasts agreed, not liking the fact being called monsters.
Naruto silenced them with a wave of his mental hand.
"Fine, you don't have to take my training, Rias." Naruto said as he stood up and walked before Rias. "But remember, your peerage members lives are in your hands, so if you go berserk again, don't expect me to stop you."
Rias's eyes widened as she remembered that.
"I-I won't need your help or that power." Rias stammered, her hand shaking. "I will never need it."
"Then I guess this meeting is concluded for now." Naruto said as he looked at Sona and then moved his gaze to look at the other young devils. "I'll call you later Sona, and then we will talk about training then, alright?"
"S-sure." Sona said as she motioned for her peerage it was time to go.
The Sitri peerage funneled out of the house, Oscar and Lily having to be removed from Sona as she tried to leave.
"Now, for you to leave." Naruto said to Rias.
"I'm so sorry for her attitude." Akeno said apologetically as she walked past Naruto with Anko, both bowing before they left with everyone else, except Issei who stayed behind.
"Now what are you doing here still, you little pervert?" Naruto asked.
"I am NOT a little pervert." Issei said sternly, glaring at Naruto as he stood up, before his face became goofy. "I'm a BIG one~"
Naruto blinked, all anger in him vanishing as he started to laugh, trying to keep it in as the Tailed Beasts busted their guts.
'Good god, I found Jiraiya.' Naruto thought as he released his laugh, getting odd looks from his family.
"Which one?" Chomei asked, trying to calm down. "There are two, the one from your universe and this one."
Naruto and the beasts laughed harder.
"I thought they would never leave." Kuroka said as she lazily leaned into the couch. "They were weird people. Not to mention, rude."
"Not everyone knows about Naruto, Kuroka." Asia said as she rocked Damian to sleep.
"I know."
"You know I can hear you." Naruto said as he looked at Kuroka and Asia, making them flinch. "Not mad, just stating a fact."
Kuroka pouted while Asia nervously laughed.
"I actually never heard of you before today." Issei said nervously.
"That's fine. I did, for a long time, want to stay hidden. But that was a pipe dream I suppose." Naruto said as he cracked his neck.
Naruto smiled as he stood up.
"Alright, I got to go for a bit." He told Lucoa, Penemue, and Zest. "I should be back in a few hours."
"Alright sweety." Lucoa said as she kissed him.
"Be safe." Penemue pleaded as she kissed his cheek.
"And don't take anyone's shit." Zest said before swapping spit.
"I will." Naruto said as he rushed out of the house through a portal.
The three wives of the house giggled at Naruto's awkwardness.
"So, what is his story?" Issei asked Lucoa.
The three women looked at each other.
"Naruto actually never told us his life story." Xenovia said, remembering that she didn't even know everything.
Kuroka and Shirone nodded in agreement.
Diego and Ravel stayed silent, but were both interested in this story.
'I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell him and the girls his story.' Lucoa thought as she opened her mostly always closed eyes.
"Well, it began hundreds of years ago, when a previous leader of Kyoto found a baby boy…"
Grigori HQ…
Naruto appeared before the Grigori, getting bows from the fallen as they recognized him.
"Relax, I won't bite." Naruto said, not wanting to be treated any different.
"Naruto, you are here early." Azazel said as he walked out of the HQ. "Come in, there are things we need to discuss."
"That's an understatement." Naruto said as he followed Azazel.
"Yeah, someone I know caused you some trouble recently." Azazel laughed.
"Yeah, those four crows." Naruto said in deadpan as he thought of Mittelt and Kalawarner, their images in his head having just met them, with Raynare and Dohnaseek not appearing since he didn't meet them, thus didn't know what they looked like.
"Yeah, they did, but they aren't who I am talking about." Azazel stated as he opened a door and the two men entered to see Orochimaru reading a small book before he looked up to see who arrived.
"Lord Azazel." Orochimaru said politely before he turned to Naruto, whose eyes were wide in disbelief. "And you are Naruto Uzumaki, someone who Azazel highly praises."
"Nice to meet you, may I know your name?" Naruto asked calmly while staring intensely at Orochimaru.
"Sorry, I am Orochimaru, a snake yokai working along side Azazel in his sacred gear research." Orochimaru greeted as he extended his hand.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto replied as he shook Orochimaru's hand.
"First, I would like to apologize." Orochimaru said sincerely. "It seems a colleague of mine used some of my old… volunteers for my research to attack your wife and daughter when she was attacking the nun."
"My wife, Zest, told me about some strange men who turned into monsters." Naruto said as he glared at Orochimaru. "Your handiwork I guess?"
"Yes, but I had their powers sealed and they were left to work for Azazel." Orochimaru explained. "Seems like they were angry and wanted their power back, and Raynare undid the seals to get them to follow her."
Naruto nodded, but still wasn't sure Orochimaru was being truly honest.
'I'll keep an eye on him.' Naruto thought.
"May I ask, how are my son and daughter doing?" Orochimaru asked as Naruto and Azazel sat down and got comfortable.
"Son and daughter?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, young Diego Brando and Anko Mitarashi." Orochimaru said. "I made a female clone of myself who I named Anko. I raised her for a short while, and when I realized she was defective, I abandoned her."
Naruto took a deep breath, as did Azazel.
"For Diego, I took human DNA and Vampire DNA and artificially inseminated him from scratch, and gave him an artificial sacred gear." Orochimaru said. "I got the vampire DNA from a vampire in Germany during World War 2, he died when he fought a lava yokai or something."
Naruto mentally face-palmed.
'Shit, he got his hands on Dio's DNA. No wonder Diego's magic attacks looked the same. He is a dhampir version of the Dio vampire Ophis and I created to test Zest and Jack.' Naruto mentally berated, remembering when he and Ophis made him in 1945 for the purpose of training.
"Diego was a better creation, though he ran away after suffering a head injury." Orochimaru continued.
"Why did you abandon Anko and not try to find Diego?" Naruto asked, wanting to know more.
"Anko had a defect in her brain that caused her to violently act out certain emotions, such as anger and aggression. There were certain triggers, the most evident was when I tried teaching her things, she would angrily say she didn't need help." Orochimaru explained.
"And you didn't try to help her understand that it is okay to accept help?"
"I wasn't the best person back in the day, I admit, and I regret ever abandoning her." Orochimaru said as he showed a melancholy look. "And for Diego, I didn't care at the time."
Naruto sighed again.
"Anko is doing fine. She has joined Rias Gremory as her Rook, so she is in good hands. Diego is actually serving my home as a servant, so he will be taken care of." Naruto said, making Orochimaru smile.
"Thank you, that is a huge load off my heart." Orochimaru said as he shed a single tear.
"Now, I have a question for you." Naruto said, all three men becoming serious. "I heard that you and Azazel have started helping the current White Dragon, what is that about?"
Azazel and Orochimaru swallowed the lumps in their throats.
'Shit, who told him?' Azazel thought in a slight panic. 'Vali wouldn't have told anyone about it, wanting to keep it secret, so who…'
Orochimaru gripped his hands together and leaned onto them.
"You see, the White Dragon wanted our help." Orochimaru said, not stuttering. "We asked why, and it is his love for battle that he asked for our help, thus, we helped him improve his fighting style."
"Not a single lie passed his lips right now, Naruto." Kurama informed Naruto. "He is as clean as a baby."
Naruto nodded and visibly relaxed, allowing Azazel and Orochimaru to relax as well.
"I just wanted to know. Because I did train the strongest female red dragon and one of the best white dragon emperors in the past. I just wanted to know what was going on." Naruto said as he flashed a smirk at Azazel. "You were about to piss yourself Azazel."
Said fallen glared at Naruto before waving him off like a nuisance.
"Now that that is all done, lets get to talking to the traitorous fallen." Naruto said as he stood up.
"No problem here, Naruto." Azazel said eagerly.
"I shall accompany you." Orochimaru said as he and Azazel stood up.
The three men walked down the halls and down into the depths of the Grigori HQ until they entered Raynare's holding cell.
She was chained up, wearing ragged sheet over her body to keep herself warm.
"Hm, a little excessive." Naruto muttered as he walked up to the chained fallen.
"Not at all." Azazel mused.
Naruto disagreed as he activated his Rinne-Sharingan as Raynare looked into them, her eyes adapting the ripple pattern of his.
Meanwhile…
"Master Kokabiel, we have assembled five of the Excalibur Fragments." Valper stated to his master. "All we need left are Excalibur Mimic and Ruler. However, …"
"Ruler was lost years ago, I know." Kokabiel stated calmly to his underling. "It won't matter if we are missing just one sword. As long as we have the six, we will be able to enact our plan and start another war."
"Of course." Valper said as he bowed. "We are actually having our spy get the information on Mimic's where abouts soon."
Kokabiel smiled and left the scientist alone to analyze the current swords to figure out how to best merge them.
'Soon, very soon, you bastard.' Kokabiel thought as an image of a younger Naruto, cloaked in his golden chakra with his nine beasts, Lucoa, and the first-generation Sun Wukong by his side as he stared down all fighting factions. 'I'll kill you for ending the war, mark my words.'
"Lord Kokabiel, news has come in." A human said as they approached the inner monologuing Fallen Cardinal. "It is the file on one Naruto Uzumaki and his family."
Kokabiel took the thick file, as thick as a paper-back version of War and Peace, from the man before dismissing him.
'Hm, this guy has a few kids with woman from every faction, huh.' Kokabiel thought as he flipped through the file.
Kokabiel smirked evilly as he started forming mental plans.
Chapter 39, DONE!
So, short chapter, and LONG wait.
Sorry, been playing the fuck out of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Such a fun game, though the filler stuff I like, but I also dislike it as I want to get to the story.
Oh, cross Dressing Cloud was so hot, and I laughed as he didn't even try to hide his voice like in TFS's Machinabridged Series of FF7. If you haven't gotten the game, you are missing out, and if you haven't seen all four seasons of Machinabridged, then fix that. NOW!
So, this chapter had the talk between Rias/Sona and Naruto.
What did you guys think about it? Good, bad, or ugly with Rias being stupid and saying she didn't want Naruto's training?
What about Orochimaru and his children, Anko and Diego? They are a fucked-up family bunch.
Random thing, I hate the new title for the story, if any of you have any ideas, let me know, I would love to know what you think this story could be called.
Besides that, what did you think of the chapter? As usual, leave a review if you liked it or hated it. I want to know your opinion.
