Transmigration. The movement of soul to another body after death. Uzumaki Naruto didn't expect to open his eyes after closing them for final time. But, like always, fate was a real bitch. But fate didn't knew he was unpredictable. Re-Enter Naruto Uzumaki.
I don't own Naruto or Highschool DxD. But I own OC and my concepts though.
Transmigration
Chapter: III
They were coming.
I ran.
I relentlessly crushed the feeling of pain in my legs. Right next to me were Sakura and Shikamaru.
We ran.
I felt fear. Not for myself, but for them-Shikamaru and Sakura. They didn't have a chakra battery in their gut.
I looked back. Just in time to see a fireball coming towards us. "Watch out!"
I jumped forward. My both teammates jumped to their sides. I turned back. Only to see him coming towards us. Two shadow clones appeared besides me. They both ran to my friends, just in case of backup.
I watched as he was running towards me. I started running towards him. But before anything more could happen, someone grabbed my hand and began to drag me in the opposite direction. I didn't look at him. I knew it was Shikamaru as Sakura jumped over my head.
A reflex triggered and I could see potential outcomes. There were 207 of them, but there was no success in them. They could only run. The most prominent outcome was to make someone decoy and run. My mind kicked and I realized what Sakura was gonna do.
"Sakura! No!" I yelled. I dragged Shikamaru towards her, but she was far from us. I couldn't reach her in time. A fireball was coming towards her.
Time slowed down for me.
She just turned towards me and smiled. It wasn't a grim one or a pleasant one. Just a smile of acceptance. Some one who had accepted death. She ran towards fireball and jumped through it.
I roared, "No!"
"Wake up."
No this couldn't happen! Sakura wasn't dead! No!
"Wake up."
I couldn't accept it. She must be there! She could be on the other side of fire!
"WAKE UP!"
He jolted awake, eyes widened, mouth agape. Newly minted reflexes kicked in, a kitchen knife appeared in his hand. A sheen of sweat covered his face. He took deep breaths to control his panicked breathing. He slowly lowered his raised arm and relaxed the crushing grip of knife that he usually kept under pillow.
Letting out a sigh, he listened to his pounding heartbeat begin to lower and his breathing returned to it's natural state. Dragging a hand down his clammy face, 3.53 he read when he glanced at the clock. With a final sigh, Naruto swung his legs off the bed and walked to the study table in his room. Dragging the chair back, he switched the table lamp on and sat on the chair.
Nightmares wasn't anything new to the Shinobi, especially for an retired one. They were things that they saw and did that would always haunt them, Naruto was no different. But this has been his first one in this world. It was a memory that would always haunt him. The death of Sakura. Although he had accepted that, it still didn't mean it was less painful.
Naruto looked at the items in front of him. They were scrolls for Fuinjutsu. If one thing he was grateful for, then it was his ability to still use Fuinjutsu. At least they had the ink to make it. The ink that was used in sealing wasn't any special. You just have to add your blood and chakra in normal ink. It gets keyed to your chakra signature. ANBU always used keyed Explosive Tags, so that no one outside of them could use it.
The scroll contained one of his many prized technique. It was a space-time jutsu. Transporting an item from one place to another. Though it still had some worked left. He opened one of them and studied. His mind scanned it and showed him the possible outcomes. There were 7 outcomes of success and 89 outcomes of making another thing out of all outcomes. Yep, Uzumaki people had this power. Their mind effectively bought them solutions. Their brain could perform multitasking. That was why they had ability to understand Fuinjutsu easily.
So lost in the thoughts, the blonde didn't realized that he forgot about his dream.
Rias Gremory was a devil.
Standing at the height of 5'8 feet, she was a beautiful young girl with white skin, blue-green eyes from her father. Her most distinctive feature was her long, beautiful crimson hair, which reached down her thighs with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Her hair also had loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. She wore a standard Kuoh Academy outfit which consisted of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt, with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white accents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks.
She had been living in Kuoh for the last three years. The last years had been fun for her. Here, she was just Rias.
Not Rias Gremory who was the heiress of Gremory clan, one of the 72 Pillars of High-Class Devil noble family. She hated being that. She knew it wouldn't be long that, she would be married off to her fiancé. She had always dreamed of a knight in shining armour coming to save her from her engagement, but she knew it would never happen. She briefly wondered if her parents would save her or not.
She shook her head and gave a bitter chuckle. She knew her parents wouldn't do anything. They wouldn't even care whatever will happen after the marriage, after all they were the one who went to the Phoenix Clan for engagement. Both knew, what kind of man-whore Raiser was but didn't care. Why? They just wanted political power.
She thought about her brother. She knew that his hands were tied in this matter. After all, he was one of the leader of devil faction and he had to be fair to every devil whether the said devil is a friend, enemy, family member.
The redhead was so lost in her thoughts she didn't even didn't realised that a person opened the door of the Occult Research Club.
"Rias."
Said person looked up to see an uncharacteristically serious girl. She knew that whatever the news was, it was important. She softly asked her, "What is it Akeno?"
Akeno's eyes softened, she knew what was going in her King's mind. But this news maybe helpful for her. "There is an Middle-Class level energy signature coming towards the school."
Rias' eyes widened. It could a hostile presence or another stray devil who killed his/her master. "Akeno, prepare-"
"Rias it's not an enemy."
"Then what it is Akeno?" asked Rias, confusion evident in her eyes.
"It is a human." Akeno answered.
"What?!"
"Yes."
"What is the name?"
"Hyoudou Issei."
"WHAT?!"
-oOo-
Today was going to one of the worst day.
Scratch that, today was gonna be the worst day. He just knew it.
"Why do I have to go to school?" asked Naruto miserably.
"To see beautiful, magnificent Oppais!" Exclaimed a rather cheerful Issei.
"You are hopeless."
He was far too used to Issei's antiques now. His perverted natured was toned down than before. Don't they say Old Habits Die Hard. His training was going fine. Results too, were appearing as the boy has gained an inch. Where his body was first bony, delicate, scrawny. Now it was dense, durable and firm which could take a solid 4-5 hits.
Due to the accident, Issei was on leave for 2 weeks due minimal injuries whereas Naruto was on for a month. This was his first day in Kuoh academy, before and after the case of amnesia.
They both stopped front of the school gate.
"Woah!" exclaimed Naruto as they stopped in front of Academy. "Its more of a mansion than an Academy."
"Have you seen your house?" Issei rhetorically asked.
Naruto said nothing, but there was an tick mark on his forehead. They both stepped in. As they both walked in, he felt as someone was watching him. Even though he had lost his many abilities, Naruto still retained spiritual awareness as it was based on soul. He could still tell when people where staring at him, given his childhood wasn't the best one.
Turning towards the source of this feelings, he saw two beautiful girls were staring at him, he immediately looked away.
Issei, who saw this, said, "They are Rias-senpai and Akeno-senpai. Both of them are the 'Onee-sama' of this school. Both of them have biggest pair of oppais in the academy."
Naruto, for his part ignored Issei's perverted babbling, narrowed his eyes at the red-haired girl. Their eyes met for a moment, then hers widened. He knew that she and others were the tainted presence in school.
"Issei, listen carefully." Commanded Naruto, softly while looking at the school. "Code:02"
Issei, who was still ranting about the greatness of breasts, stiffened and then forcefully relaxed himself. "Where?"
"11 o'clock"
Issei looked up to the direction but was bonked by Naruto. Naruto hissed, "What did I say about exposing yourself, idiot!"
"Sorry." Issei muttered.
They both had discussed about code words, If there was an enemy nearby. In which Naruto literally pounded the knowledge in Issei's mind. Code:02 was a simple code.
Possible enemy.
They have created only 2 codes right now, the other one was "Code:01". Which meant 'enemies ahead.'
"Let's ignore her for now," Whispered Naruto. Then his mood complete one-eighty degree and cheerfully said. "Show me the way to student council Issei."
"Y-yes, come on." Said Issei, cursing himself for stuttering. It wasn't his fault, if he couldn't act perfectly. As they have started the topic only two days ago. He could only wonder what more Naruto has for him
Hopefully it wasn't something painful.
-oOo-
Rias didn't have an opinion on Issei.
Sure, he was a pervert. But at least he wasn't a man-whore. Comparing him to her fiancé, it was nothing she couldn't handle. She didn't knew him personally, she had heard rumours of him being pervert. But she knew not to trust any rumours. So she decided to make an opinion of after meeting him.
Their resident spymaster, Koneko, has said he had a rather powerful sacred gear, a dragon one at that. Dragon sacred gears always meant powerful sacred gears. Though it could be twice critical or Boosted Gear. She was hoping to revive him as her piece to break her engagement.
Looking at him with Akeno, though her window, she saw a rather average boy coming with another blond, though she ignored the blond for now. Before two weeks, Hyoudou Issei had pitiful reserves even by the standards of normal human which was saying something. But now he had reserves of High Middle-class Devil. Did something happened to him? Did his sacred gear was awakened? Or was he reincarnated? She shook her head and dismissed the last thought as she would have sensed another energy in him.
"Rias." Akeno called out.
"I know Akeno. I know. I will confront him about joining my peerage. I just need some time." Said Rias softly.
"You don't have time Rias! What if another devil recruits him before you! Raiser already has a full peerage!" Akeno exclaimed. She understood where Rias was coming from, but here she was running away from the problem. "There's also that problem."
The problem was that Raiser was already a High-Class Devil and now he was aiming for Ultimate-Class. That meant, even if she were to challenge him in a Rating Game to break her engagement, she would lose without a doubt. She had to admit that she wasn't even a High-Class Devil by power, she was given her peerage her peerage because of her blood. If she wasn't born a High-Class devil, she wouldn't have her peerage nor she would get much freedom as she had been given now.
Then there was his peerage. She held no delusions that Raiser wouldn't train his peerage. As much as she hated him, she had to admit that he always trained them to their full potential. Her peerage, on the other hand, was mess. Her queen wouldn't use her Fallen Angel side, only using her demonic powers. Her rook, too, was holding back her power, not using Senjutsu which could give her considerably large boost. Her knight was a revenge driven person who hates Holy Swords and members of church with passion. Her bishop couldn't even control his power and was currently sealed
Even though her peerage wasn't using their full power, she still loved them. There reluctance in using their full power was quite understandable seeing their past.
"In a week Akeno. In a week." She finally said.
Looking always from the brunette, she observed the blond, she had initially ignored. She felt her cheeks heat up. The blond was of decent height, around six feet, his face was framed by his sun-kissed blond hair. He had three strange whisker Mark's adorning each cheek, but instead making him cute, she thought it made him look roguishly handsome. He wore a standard uniform outfit with his tie loosened.
But the most noticeable things were his eyes. When she looked at it, she lost the redness on her face. It felt she was looking at someone lot more older. There eyes met it was only for a second and hers widened. They were more mature almost like . . . like her brother. These eyes were of someone who had gone through a war.
She narrowed her eyes when she saw his footsteps. They were measured in a way that made his feet seem light, and tread without a sound. There was not a single wasted movement. This walk almost reminded her of a trained killer.
"Akeno"
"What is it Rias?"
"Call my brother."
-oOo-
Kuoh Academy.
If someone were to ask Naruto's opinion on it. He would say…
A paradise for perverts.
Originally, Kuoh Academy was an all-girls private school. Few months ago, it was turned into a co-ed school. The school had set up quite high standards for getting in. He didn't even know how Issei got admitted in this school. Due to this requirements only a handful of students are able to get in. As such Male to female ratio was almost 1:8.
Right now the blond was standing outside of class 3-A. After meeting up Student Council or rather a member of it. He got his timetable from them and was called after school. They handed him a map of the school and told him to go to class 3-A.
"Alright kid come in and please introduce yourself to the class." Snapping out of his reverie, Naruto slowly walked through the door, entered the class and finally stood before the teacher's desk.
"Good morning everyone. I am Uzumaki Naruto. I am transfer student from Tokyo Academy. Please treat me well." He politely said and bowed to the class. This was something his mother had told told as he was moving from this Tokyo Academy.
The class broke out into chatter, mainly the girls.
"Another Hunk!"
"He's kinda cute."
"His whisker Mark's make him look so handsome!"
"He's so handsome! I can see another fan-club brewing!"
Naruto was taken back by the comments he was getting. He wasn't used praised on his looks. When he was in Konoha, almost every single girl hated him or were annoyed by him. The only he had frequently interacted with were Sakura who always punched him, Ino who was neutral towards him, Shizune who thought him like a brother and finally Tsunade who thought him as younger brother or grandson.
There was Hinata, but there was only limited talking between them. If he started a conversation, she would always faint. She always looked red when talking to him. Initially he had thought she hated him and acted like fainting to not to confront him. But when she was the only one who stood for him against Pein , the thoughts were removed. He couldn't remember the last words she said as he was in a fit of rage.
Let it be known. Even if Naruto is quite matured and reincarnated, he would always, be a dense motherfucker.
"Silence!" The teacher ordered before looking towards him. "Now Uzumaki-kun as you have joined the academy somewhat late. I will give you some time to complete your notes. Now go sit beside Himejima-San. Himejima-san please raise your hand."
Naruto looked at the class to see a raised hand from a girl from earlier he had seen. He started to walk slowly. Masking his emotions he quietly sat on the chair and gave Akeno a pleasant smile. "Hello I am Uzumaki Naruto."
Akeno, had been watching the blond closely from the starting of the introduction, smiled. "I am Himejima Akeno, Uzumaki-san."
Naruto waved his hand dismissively. "None of that Akeno. Call me Naruto. Is it okay if I call you Akeno?"
Akeno put a hand on her mouth to cover a giggle. "Ara. So bold of you. Sure you can call me that Naruto-kun"
Naruto nodded. He said nothing and kept his gaze at the teacher. While outside he was looking like paying attention, inside he was in his own thoughts.
'So, An emotional mask.'
He mentally frowned. At first he thought of ignoring Akeno. But dismissed the idea as he needed information on a potential enemy about her different energy signature than others. When he talked to her he knew she had mask, her eyes betrayed her. He knew an emotional mask was not something you should use as he had first-hand experience in that. But should he help her? She was an potential enemy.
"Okay class, now open your books. We are going to continue the chapter 2nd."
He silently groaned. He knew how to describe the whole situation in one word.
Troublesome.
"Gabriel."
"Yes Michael."
"Can you do me a favour."
"Yes. What is it."
"Send a message to the Underworld and Grigori that I said 'The 14th one has appeared.' And also send this picture I am giving you.
-The End-
Omake
Both Issei and Naruto were coming out the bar right now. They have won quite a lot of money, or rather Naruto won.
"I still don't understand why you insist on playing pool Naruto." Complained Issei.
"That's cuz girls lean over a lot when she plays." Naruto grinned.
Issei stopped.
"You know, suddenly pool has became much more interesting right now." He muttered thoughtfully.
"Its the game of champions, man" Naruto smirked.
Issei blinked.
"That's poker." He pointed out.
"Nah. Pools much better." Naruto shook his head. "I win too much at poker. No challenge in that."
"Point." The pervert winced. Naruto's luck at card games wasnt weird. It was just unnatural.
He frowned thoughtfully.
"...wait. If you win every time. What about strip-"
Naruto grinned.
"...sonuvabitch!" Issei scowled. "So that's where you were when you said you had some work. You're taking me to the next one!"
Chapter notes:
1. Now some of you may ask 'Why is Naruto so stable, why isn't he panicking?' well about that I have an answer. But I want any of you to find it out as I have left many hints in all chapters.
Author notes:
Another chapter done! This took me a bit more time than last one. I again made 4 drafts for this chapter only. I honestly this was the best way to convey their feelings.
If you think I am bashing then, no I am not. I actually like her. But at the starting of the series, Issei was just a pawn for her. After that new feeling started to develop.
I don't know a shit about schools in japan, as I live in India. So hopefully I will not make any mistake regarding the school.
So review, even if it is a critic.
Reviews.
Guest, Gazz Uzumaki: I didn't skipped that part, as I have already written it in my last chapter. You didn't read it carefully.
Kurama69: I know that Naruto has already learnt wind manipulation. I know. But as I have written earlier, his chakra control is shot. He cant do a squat. I also know about Chakra paper, but that is not available in DxD.
Shokugeki: No. Right now Issei is a human. Rias' peerage is completely separate from both of them.
Giblenator: Issei is definitely gonna be a devil, but Naruto on the other hand…… It's a secret.
