A Pledge to my King
Disclaimer: I own nothing not even the ideas I came up with because they are probably owned by some other guys.
AN: Well damn… I was not expecting such a huge reception for a single chapter. I mean I was extremely flabbergasted when I logged on to my account and was actually caught speechless for a few seconds. Before this chapter starts first off all I'd like to thank everyone who read my story and found it worthy enough to be added in their favorite/follow lists, C2, and even a bigger thanks to those that gave the time to review my story. Now that said I really hope I you all watch as I fuck up this story in more ways that I can imagine lol wish me luck :3.
AN: I noticed this when I re read chapter one so I figured that I should point this out. Naruto's promise of a life time to return Sasuke to Konoha happened before the actual retrieval mission meaning that even the verse this Naruto is from is slightly AU than its original counterpart (will be explored and expanded later on).

-A Pledge to my King-
Chapter 2: The Pervert
A day after his bold proclamation that he will past his exam and become a proud, badass, and awesome middle-class devil we find our favorite blond shinobi in the very same club room.
He was laying down on top of one the club's sofas in a fetal position, short incomprehensible grunts could be heard coming from him while a small black rain cloud hanged above his head.
In the same couch beside the shinobi sat none other than the cat-like Koneko Toujo.
The petite girl was busily patting the shibobi's back trying her best to cheer up the obviously troubled shinobi. It would have been a warm and kind-hearted moment seeing her try to cheer him up if not for the petite girl eating manju while she patted his back with a rather deadpanned expression marred on her face.
Standing near the couch in total silence was none other than the other members of the Occult Research Club composed of the blond Casanova Yuuto Kiba, and the Two Great Ladies of Kuoh Academy Akeno Himejima and Rias Gremory. All of which were just staring at the petite girl and the very out of character Naruto.
"Uuuhhh…" the shinobi grumbled.
Kiba decided to break the silence by stating what he most likely thought happened to his friend. "So, I'm guessing Naruto-san failed the promotion test?" he asked.
The crimson haired Rias sighed as she started rubbing her temples. "Yes and No."
"What do you mean Buchou?" asked Akeno who was equally curious about what happened to the shinobi.
"He actually did well enough to pass all the tests but ended up failing an unexpected challenge."
"What was the challenge?" asked the demonic sword user.
"My cousin Sairaorg Bael challenged Naruto-kun in a fight." Rias stated as she observed a look of shock quickly make its way towards her knight and queen's faces.
Kiba's eyes were wide as dinner plates. "The Strongest Youth?"
Rias nodded "The battle itself was one to be remembered for ages and Naruto-kun actually held his ground but eventually Sairaorg-san managed to defeat him in battle. Although from what I could tell both of them were holding back. If you guys want to watch it I'll be sure to buy the recording of the match when it comes out."
"I want to watch…" said Koneko while Akeno on the other hand had a rather surprised looked on her face at the thought of the blond shinobi going against such a monster like Sairaorg."Ara ara really Buchou? That's quite a feat I didn't expect Ero-Kitsune to be that strong. Fufufu it seems he's hiding so much from us now these days."
"He did train for one whole month and I'm sure everyone here knows how insane he trains if he wants to." exclaimed Kiba who had a firsthand experience of trying one of his fellow blond's ridiculous training routine.
Safe to say he didn't last that long.
Koneko nodded while patting the shinobi in the back. "I trained with him… He was holding back so much… Shinobi always hide stuff… sneaky nin-nin…"
"But I don't see that as a problem. I've seen him lose dozens of times in the past. I mean he always loses every time he fights against Beowulf of Maou-sama's peerage, how is this one defeat affecting him like this?" Kiba asked.
Rias cringed before sighing once more. "Well he technically already passed and was about to be awarded his new Ranking as a devil but-" She looked at the still moping blond and sighed once more. "Sairaorg-san's challenge wasn't exactly part of the test. My cousin just wanted to fight Naruto-kun since Sairaorg-san found him to be an interesting opponent."
"But that still wouldn't explain while he is all mopey Buchou."
"Let me finish Kiba-kun" Rias closed her eyes beautiful bluish-green eyes. "Before the challenge Sairaorg-san jokingly said that if Naruto-kun can beat him then Naruto would be really worthy of his promotion."
"I see, so basically Ero-kitsune got his ass kicked and despite them still awarding him with the title of a Middle-Class devil he refused it because he was to stubborn. He probably said something like" She paused for a moment as she tried her best to impersonate the depressed blond's voice "I promise that I won't become a middle-class devil until I can kick your ass dattebayo!" she then tilted her head to the side in a rather adorable manner while placing one finger beneath her lips. "Am I right Buchou?" she asked using her normal voice.
Everyone in the room sweat dropped at her, even the sulking blond.
Rias sighed "Yes, sadly it wasn't after he already said that and left did he only realize that he passed on an opportunity that was being handed to him on a silver platter."
"Baka…" Koneko's deadpanned exclamation echoed in the silent room.
"Mah mah no need to put salt to his wounds."
"But Kiba-sempai… it's was what everyone was thinking…" replied Koneko.
"Fu fu fu she got you there Kiba-kun." Akeno turned to the still sulking Naruto. "To pass of the opportunity of gaining the title of Knight and increasing in Rank, Ero-Kitsune really was being a Baka."
"Must you tease him even further Akeno?"
"Oh? Is Buchou getting overprotective of her beloved Shinobi?" the Vice-President of the Occult Research Club.
Before Rias could reply to her Queen another unintelligible grunt came from the depressed blond as the rain clouds on his head got bigger than before. It even started raining and thundering down on him.
"Buchou what are we going to do about him? We can't leave him here, it's rather sad to see him like that."
"That is true Kiba-kun." She placed her index finger under her chin adopting a thinking pose. "But is there anything we could do to cheer him up? Any suggestions?"
"Hmm… maybe I should give him one of my special services to relieve him of stress?" Akeno suggested.
"No." was the unanimous and instantaneous response from the rest of the club members.
"Ara ara, why the quick rejection?"
"Because I don't think he's in the mood for some S&M plays while he's like this. Actually I don't think he's into S&M plays period." answered Rias.
"Ah, such a shame." whispered Akeno.
Rias turned to her Knight "Kiba-kun you're a guy do you know what can cheer a guy up when he's down like this?"
"Umm… maybe a hug or kiss would cheer him up?"
"Are you suggesting that you want to Kiss and hug Naruto-kun?"
Kiba blushed "No! Buchou what gave you that idea?"
"Fu fu fu… it's because of all those rumors between you and the Ero-Kitsune."
Trying to change the topic the Casavona turned to the crimson haired princess. "Ano why don't you give him a kiss the Buchou?"
Rias went red at the thought of kissing her shinobi.
"Oh is Buchou-san really considering kissing her beloved shinobi?"
"Akeno!"
"Fu fu fu… if you don't want to I could always take your place and give Ero-Kitsune a kiss he'll never forget." She traced a finger along her lips before licking them in a rather suggestive manner.
Rias glared at her Queen. "No Kissing Naruto!"
"No kissing Ero-Kitsune or no one but me is allowed to kiss Ero-Kitsune?"
Rias' glare became even fiercer while Akeno just chuckled since her Buchou was really so adorable when she was teased. It was no secret to the group that Rias developed a crush on the shinobi over the four years of the two knew each other. Not that Akeno couldn't see what her friend was attracted to, from his well-built body, to his upbeat attitude, and those cute whisker marks, the blond was a definite a fine specimen among men and devils. Of course she knew that aside from Rias there were others who crushed on the blond, she and a certain cat-like girl were in fact also guilty of being attracted to the blond, such a shame that the shinobi was apparently completely oblivious to their feelings.
Stupid blond.
"Treat him to Ramen…" suggested Koneko as she moved from Naruto's back to his hair gently rubbing the blond's locks of hair eliciting another groan from the blond.
Kiba, Akeno, and Rias blinked.
"Yes that would most likely cheer him up."
"The Ero-Kitsune does love his Ramen."
"Of course we can treat Naruto-san to ramen."
"Who's paying…?" asked the ever silent Koneko making the other three freeze upon realization that someone needed to pay for the blond's meal. Even the rich princess of the Gremory Clan once found herself down three months' worth of allowance after persistently saying that she would pay for the his meal. She had learned from her mistake since then and often refrained from treating the blond with Ramen.
The others having experience a rather similar situation realized the direness of the current situation at hand. Whoever had to pay ramen to cheer the shinobi up would most likely be broke for the next month or two. For a moment it appeared that time froze as each member of the peerage glared at each other with the exception of Koneko who remained impassive as she continued petting her sempai.
Sparks flew from Rias, Akeno, and even Kiba's eyes, not a single one of them was willing to pay. All of them only had a second to act, to be late was synonymous to being broke. In slow motion all four mouths opened as time slowly moved once more.
"Not it!"
"Not it!"
"Not it!"
"No- Darn it!"
-A Pledge to My King-
The plan worked like a charm.
Ninety-nine bowls of Ramen equated to one very happy shinobi.
Sitting in the stall of the only ramen restaurant in the whole city –the Seishin Ramen (Spirit Ramen), was none other than Naruto Uzumaki who was busily engulfing his hundredth bowl of Ramen much to the frustration of Kiba who was crying in the corner of the restaurant while Koneko patted the knight's back.
"God that is some good Ramen." The now recharged and ever cheerful Naruto cheered out. He patted the great Ramen Void known as his stomach while ignoring the sudden burst of pain he received from muttering the name of God.
"I think he faked it. He definitely faked it. He faked being depressed so we would treat him to ramen. I know he did it. I can see it in his eyes." Cried out Kiba who was slowly dwindling in his own depression. For Maou's sake how was he even going to afford to pay his rent?
"Ara ara I don't think Ero-Kitsune has it in him to be so devious." Said Akeno who was sitting to the left of Naruto, gracefully eating her own order of Shrimp Ramen.
"I agree with Akeno. I find it hard that Naruto-kun would try and pull something like that since it's just not like him." Added Rias who was sitting to the blond's left also eating her own order of Miso Ramen.
"Yeah Naruto-sempai isn't like that…" whispered Koneko who at the moment was on her fifth bowl of Kitsune Ramen
"I guess it's true." Admitted Kiba rather dejectedly although he swore that for a second he saw a mischievous glint in the shinobi's eyes. Must have been a trick of the eye.
Slamming his hundredth bowl down on the table of the stall the blond slightly leaned towards the kitchen. "Oi Yusuke-jii! Can you get me another bowl of Miso-Ramen?" he yelled out only to get his response in the form of a ladle that smashed against his face and forced him to fall from his seat. "Ouch! What the hell?"
A slightly tanned man with a lean but muscular frame wearing a white apron and a chef's hat like Teuchi-san peaked out of the Ramen joint's kitchen. He looked to be around his late twenties and had slicked back black hair, and brown eyes. "Oi you disrespectful brat! How many times have I told you never to call me –jii I'm still young!"
Naruto jumped off the ground and glared at the man. "Why the hell are you hitting your customers?"
"You're not a customer! You work here! Hell you rent the apartment right above this store!"
"It's my day off so give me some slack! I'm a paying customer today!"
The older man glared at the blond. "It's not your day off! You've skipped out of work for the last month brat!"
"Now now Yusuke-kun don't be mean to Naruto-san." Came from a woman peeking out of the kitchen just a few paces of the first Ramen chef and stall owner. She was a beautiful brunette, a kind and often soft-spoken woman garbed in the same clothes as her husband. Her name was Keiko and she was one of the nicest person the blond has met in his entire life. Although behind that calm and sweet facade, lied a vicious slap that both Naruto and Yusuke had the displeasure of experiencing when they acted rather stupid. Her slaps aside Naruto still couldn't believe how such a nice girl married a stupid hot head delinquent.
"Oi stop gawking at my wife!" the older man smacked Naruto in the head while his wife replaced the empty bowl of Ramen with a newly filled one before returning in the kitchen.
"And you're not paying! You're friend Kiba's the one paying!" the man shouted causing said Casanova of a teen to deflate as his fellow blond was quick to recover from the blow and was now attacking his hundred and first bowl of ramen.
"Hello Yusuke-san." was the kind and simple greeting of Rias.
"Oh! Good to see you three beautiful ladies." Said the Ramen owner as he looked at Koneko, Rias, and Akeno, the first of which was still busy multi-tasking between eating Ramen and trying cheering up Kiba.
"Fu fu fu, Yusuke-san are you trying to hit on high school students when you're already happily married?" quipped Akeno.
"Hahaha just complementing. Still I don't see what you guys find in this brat." The owner and head chef of the restaurant placed his delinquent of a worker on a neck lock. A hold the blond continued to ignore -along with the rest of the world, as he kept his undivided attention to his Ramen.
"Ero-kitsune's pretty fun and lively."
"He doesn't give up…"
"He's kind, helpful, courageous, and would do anything for his friends."
"Oh that's a pretty in depth answer Rias-san." A glint of mischief appeared on Yusuke's eyes. "Is someone perhaps crushing on this worker of mine?"
A tint of pink appeared on Rias' face. "So how is your business Yusuke-san?" she asked trying to change the topic of the conversation. Seriously why was everyone teasing her about Naruto-kun?
"It's great as always, thought it would be better if the fan girl bait…" He points at Naruto "Was here working to increase sales. Hmm aside from that I also need some extra help around here since a certain someone has skipped out on work for the past month."
"Hey I told you I was training!" the blond shouted as he placed down his now empty bowl. "Oi Yusuke-jii another one!"
The ramen chef rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah I know training for some underworld tournament of some sort. Been there done that, so did you win?"
"He lost…" exclaimed Koneko who ordered another bowl of ramen as well.
"Really? For someone who lost you don't look really down."
"Like heck I'm going to be depressed! As long as I have Ramen by my side I can even kill Gods!" declared a grinning Naruto.
The Occult research club -barring one, sweat dropped.
Yusuke chuckled. "Did you at least kick ass?"
"Kicked enough ass that I actually won."
"I thought you lost?"
"Extra round got my assed kicked pretty bad."
"So what are you going to do about?"
"Going to train some more so I can kick his ass one day."
Yusuke grinned and patted the blond on his back. "Good get stronger brat and who knows one day you might become strong enough to put up a good fight against me."
"And I'd definitely kick your ass."
"I'd like to see you try."
A shout came from the kitchen ending any further banter between the two. "Yusuke-kun more orders! A few asking for deliveries."
"Hai hai! I'll be there in a bit." Yusuke shouted back before looking at the blond shinobi one more time before leaving. "Well I'll see you later brat, take the rest of the week of but starting next week its back to the daily eight hours shifts okay?"
"Yeah, thanks boss."quickly replied the shinobi.
Rias lightly elbowed the blond in his sides. "You do know who your Boss is right?"
"Yep, he's just another name in my long list of asses to kick on my road to becoming a badass higher ranking devil."
Rias shook her head at her shinobi's flippant attitude.
"Ero-kitsune, really is lucky to have met and befriended such a strong person."
"Meh he sells good Ramen… almost on par on the Ramen I eat back home." replied Naruto as he was given another bowl of Ramen which again took up almost all of his attention.
"He really does love Ramen." Akeno smiled, eyes glancing towards her King. She shifted slightly from her seat and leaned behind the shinobi to approach her king. "Fu fu fu there's your number one rival for his love Buchou." joked the sadistic queen causing the crimson haired princess to narrow her eyes at her long-time friend.
Her shinobi really wouldn't choose Ramen over a woman's proclamation of love right?
Right?
-A Pledge to my King-
After several more bowls of Ramen and more tears from Kiba the occult research club -minus Kiba who already went home lamenting on the fact that he just lost two months' worth of rent, walked out of the premises of the Ramen Restaurant.
By then the moon was shining brightly amidst the cloudless night sky, a cold breeze was passing gently through the air giving a slight feeling of chill to those who stood outside.
Naruto smiled, a hand was placed in his slightly enlarged stomach as he bowed at the remaining members of the club. "Thanks guys"
"You need to thank Kiba-senpai…" deadpanned Koneko.
"I was planning to, but he already left."
"Fu fu fu you made him cry Ero-Kitsune."
"Huh why did he cry? It was just a few bowls of Ramen right?"
Rias and Akeno sweat dropped while they simultaneously thought "How is 150 Bowls of Ramen few?"
"Kiba-sempai is Broke…" answered the white-haired youkai.
"Why?"
"You ate too much Ramen that he paid for…"
"Then to pay him back! I'll treat him to Ramen next time dattebayo!"
"I think Kiba-san wouldn't want to be near Ramen anytime soon Naruto-kun" said the crimson haired princess as she folded her arms underneath her chest pushing them up and making them stand out even more. "Naruto next time be sure to think before you act, I don't want something like this happening anytime soon. I know you're strong but fighting someone as strong as my cousin was reckless bordering insane."
Naruto nodded absentmindedly "Mhmm… I'll try my best not to get my ass kicked." He then looked at the sky and noticed that it was getting a bit late. "Do you girls want me to walk the three of you home?" he asked.
The sadist placed her left hand over her mouth. "Fu fu fu planning on taking advantage of us while walking us home you Ero-Kitsune?"
"No, actually I walking you home is not a way to protect you, but rather a way I can save the lives of the people who are stupid enough to try and have their way with you three." quipped the Shinobi.
Rias actually chuckled at Naruto's remark. "Protecting them and not us, has my shinobi abandoned his King to the hands of the deviants that lurk the night?"
"I know full well that you two are strong enough to fend anything barring a high-ranking devil or a flock of fallen angel. Plus I trust your abilities just as much as I trust my own my King."
"Oh my! Such complete and honest trust in our skills. Fu fu fu you're making me blush Ero-Kitsune."The queen quickly moved behind the blond and enveloped him in a tight hug "Maybe I should show you just how 'able' I am Kitsune-kun." She added rather suggestively as she pressed her assets against his back while tracing a finger along the shinobi's chest.
Oh and she wasn't wearing a bra.
How did he know?
Well let's just say there were two hard objects from those mounds poking him from the back.
He blushed almost immediately because of the sudden contact. "Oi w-what are you doing?"
"Ero-kitsune is really cute when he blushes." She chuckled lightly while further pressing her chest against the blond's back. She really loved teasing the shinobi and to an extent her King who was pouting rather cutely while also glaring daggers at her.
Keeping a rather sly smile on her face Akeno turned to Rias "Ara ara is Buchou getting jealous?"
Rias' glare intensified while Koneko remained mostly impassive although if one were to look carefully the normally stoic girl's eyebrows were twitching. "You could always join us if you wanted." suggested the devil with a rather seductive tone.
Having had enough of her Queen's teasing, Rias placed her hand on the sadist's shoulder while a small tick mark appeared on her forehead. "You've had enough fun today right Akeno-chan?"
"Ara ara I don't know what you mean." She tried to act rather innocently while letting go of the still blushing blond.
"It's getting late, I think it's time we go right Akeno-chan?" Rias asked in rather sweet tone that barely hid her displeasure from her friend's actions. "Koneko-chan do you wish to teleport home?"
"I live nearby… I'll just walk."
Naruto snapped out of his oppai induced daze upon hearing the petite girl's words. "Don't worry about Koneko-chan I'll walk her home."
Akeno slightly bowed "Then good night Kitsune-kun, Koneko-chan"
"Good Night as well Naruto-san, Koneko-chan" said the crimson haired princess of ruin before a red circle made of various symbols holding the insignia of the Gremory Clan appeared beneath her and Akeno's feet. Not even a second later a flash of blinding red light surrounded the two, when the light receded the two already vanished in to thin air.
"That was… interesting." Muttered the blond referring to the experience of Akeno being clingy once more, she's been doing that a lot lately to tease him. She did do that to just tease him right? It's not like she really was serious with all of her suggestive actions right?
Koneko just shook her head as she started walking towards the direction of her home away from the shinobi. "Ero-senpai..." she whispered.
Apparently having picked up on the insult the shinobi quickly apologized. "Hehehe sorry about that Neko-chan."
"Sempai is being more Ero these days…"
"Do you hate me for being Ero?"
"No…" she slowly snapped her head towards him. "But I hate it when senpai acts like a baka."
"Hehehe sorry for being Baka Neko-chan" As a sign of apology the blond shinobi's hand extended towards the white-haired girl's head. He placed his hand atop her head, his fingers moving ever so slowly to the place he knew where her ears were kept hidden. With an almost practiced motion the blond rubbed the spot with soft and long strides.
The petite girl immediately went putty in his hands.
It wasn't the first time he rubbed the girl's head since over the past four years this simple gesture became his way of apologizing to the young cat youkai every time he did something stupid. Considering who he was and how immature he was back then it was safe to say that he almost petted the girl like this on a daily basis.
"Why… did you… have to fight him?" she asked in between her soft purrs.
"Because he challenged me to a fight…"
"Why?" she asked once more asking for a deeper meaning for his actions.
"Do you really want to know?"
She nodded.
He sighed before pulling his hands away from her head much to the girl's frustration.
"It was because he reminded me of two people in my life, one was an old friend of mine who I actually admire and wanted to fight before I got stuck in this world."
She nodded "And the other…?"
"He reminded me of myself."
"How…?" she asked curiously.
"Secret…" He answered rather playfully.
The cat-like girl puffed her cheeks.
"Hehehe I'll tell you another time Koneko-chan."
She pouted slightly but allowed him to drop the subject since he didn't seem to want to answer the question. "Mhm… Then are you okay now…?"
"Yeah, that meal managed to get me out of my funk."
"Was it really that bad…?"
"I gave it as much as I could without relying on its power and I still got my assed kicked..."
"Really strong…?" Koneko asked.
"Stronger than all of us combined at the moment." Admitted the slightly grinning Shinobi who was already in the midst of thinking about his epic rematch against the heir to the Bael family.
"What will you do now…?"
"I guess I'll train even more until one day I can beat him."
"Why…?"
"You know why." he smiled "I never give up, I never go back on my promises. I promised to kick his ass one day and I will do just that!" He chuckled scratching the back of his head.
She really loved that part of her sempai.
The unwavering and unshakable will that never gives up.
"Can I still help train you…?"
Naruto nodded as he recalled that she was the one who he trained with the most for the past month. "That would be nice."
"Then can I stay with you tonight…?" Koneko suddenly asked making the blond shinobi almost lose a step and fall face first on the ground. Seriously what was up with all of his female friends?"U-h why would you want to do that Neko-chan?" he asked surprise clear in the tone of his voice.
"Help you train more tonight…"
"Ah-hehehehe I thought you meant something else."
"Ero-sempai."
"Hey don't blame me, you were the one who suggested to stay in my place." A mischievous smirk marred his face. "Or did you really do want to do it? My, my, my is Neko-chan in heat?"
The tint of pink in the youkai's face became more vibrant as she heard her sempai's perverse question. Not knowing how to answer the petite girl did the next best thing she could think of, she punched him in the shoulder sending him skidding back a few feet away.
Normally that punch would have broken someone's arm but her sempai really was far from normal. "Sorry, sorry Neko-chan I just couldn't resist."
"Baka-senpai…" she puffed her cheeks in a rather indignant manner. "Why can't I stay?"
"I'm going to be a bit busy tonight." answered Naruto.
"Training…?"
"Yep, I'm just training and doing some homework since I've missed out on a lot during the last month."
"Then why can't I train with you…?"
"Not physical more on spiritual like meditating."
"Using Chakra…?"
"You know it."
"You use chakra weirdly..."
Naruto chuckled. "It's not my fault that no one here thought of using Chakra to fire out super awesome wind and lightning jutsus."
"Still weird…" Koneko replied in her usual dead panned way.
"Well sorry for being weird then."
"Are you training in Senjutsu…?" the girl asked out of nowhere.
"No" Naruto shook his head. "I know you thought me the concept of Senjutsu but I'd rather not try to use it now. Not when the very person who was trying to teach it to me has trouble using it."
"Promise…?" Her hazel eyes gazed upon her senpai, the moonlight bathing his figure in all its glory. His blue eyes were shining amidst the darkness of the night making those beautiful and alluring blue orbs stand out. The nekomata she felt a slight tug in her heart, for some reason her sempai felt more breathtaking than usual.
"Yes, you can count on me" answered the ever smiling blond shinobi. "I promise you that I won't attempt to use senjutsu until you're comfortable with it okay?" His hands reached for her head as he gently ruffled her hair once more eliciting another soft purr from the petite nekomata.
Her hazel eyes gazed upon her senpai, the moonlight bathing his figure in all its glory. His blue eyes were shining amidst the darkness of the night making those beautiful and alluring blue orbs stand out. The nekomata she felt a slight tug in her heart, for some reason her sempai felt more breathtaking than usual.
"Thank You…" she whispered as she broke from his hand before increasing her pace desperate to get ahead of the blond so that he may not see the growing blush on her face.
"No problem, anything for you Neko-chan." replied Naruto as he tucked his hands inside the pockets of his pants while he slowly walked a few steps behind the speeding Neko.
Before the two even noticed it they were already on top an overpass only minutes away from the petite youkai's apartment.
After passing the halfway point of the over pass the young nekomata stopped walking before turning towards her senpai who was still walking behind her. "I can walk from here…"
"Are you sure? We're only a few minutes away from you house and I don't mind walking you full way."
She shook her head "I mind… I don't want to get in the way of your training senpai…" the petite girl took a few steps towards him, extending her arms to envelop his bigger frame in a small hug. A hug that he kindly returned.
"Good night Naruto-Sempai." She whispered, releasing her hold upon the blond before turning around and resuming her walk towards her home.
"Good night to you to Shiro-chan." Replied Naruto a small smile tugging the side of his lips as he watched her retreating figure disappear towards the other side of the overpass, vanishing into the darkness of the beautiful night.
With the small smile still plastered upon his face the blond turned around and made his way back his home.
-A Pledge to my King-
Opening the door to his room the teen was welcomed to the ever familiar sight of the place he has the pleasure of renting out for the past few years.
It was a simple decently sized room with various magical symbols scribbled around its wall. The room had a small kitchen, a closet with all his clothes, a bathroom that doubled as the laundry room. There was also a desk for studying which stood on the far corner of the room, beside it was bookshelf filled with various books, manga, and the blond's secret stash which was carefully hidden inside the books. Opposite of to the desk was none other than a comfortable bed that stood beside a window and was located to the far left of a large flat screen Tv connected to a gaming console that he brought from the underworld which was basically the bastardized child of the three major gaming system of the human world.
Yeah a really simple room.
Closing the door on his way in the blond quickly made his way to his pseudo bedroom and living and sat down on the ground crossing his legs.
"Okay time to train again…" he whispered before creating a single clone.
"Yoh what is it boss?"
"I'm going to my mindscape for a while."
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Do my homework." He commanded.
"The fuck? Do it yourself!" the clone complained.
Ignoring his clone the teen took several breaths, the next breaths shallower than the first ones until he was breathing a bare minimum to support his life. The teen then closed his cerulean blue eyes welcoming the ever familiar embrace of the great darkness to descend into the deepest regions of his mind.
-Line Break-
Beautiful and empowering crimson red.
That was the first colour his eyes perceived as they slowly opened and revealed unto him the representation of his mind taking the shape of the ever vibrant crimson forest of the underworld.
He had no idea how his mindscape changed from that of an old sewer to such a wonderful forest, but then again he wasn't one to complain. To him this was definitely better then what it looked like before. Definitely an upgrade from the sewer like mindscape that he had in the past.
The forest in itself was very similar to that of the one he first gazed upon during his early days in the underworld. Trees with crimson leaves extended as far as the eyes could see creating the image of a sea of pure exhilarating red. However his mindscape was not a hundred percent replica of that forest, instead there was one small variation.
The blond smiled fondly as he was the form of a small clearing from a far. It was a simple piece of land surrounded by a patch of red trees, in the middle of the clearing stood three stumps which were lined side by side forming what looked like a replica of his old training grounds.
For a moment memories of his past life flashed through his mind, he could see a younger version of him tied in one of those stumps, being offered food by both Sasuke and Sakura. Those were the days, too bad Sasuke had to ruin it all by betraying Konoha.
Naruto quickly shook his head, it wasn't the time to think about them. "No time to dwell in the past." He told himself giving the training ground one last glance before moving away.
He had a certain furball of a tenant to find.
The shinobi walked silently through the wide expanse of the eternal crimson forest. His soft footstep clashing against the hardened earth was the only sound that can be heard from a distance. He did not know how much time passed but the devil finally managed to reach a certain clearing, this one eerily similar to the place where his King tried to convince him to return with her in the past. Heck he could even the cracked land and torn trees he made during his raging rampage.
Not really the proudest moment of his life.
His blue eyes gazed upon the damaged clearing until his spotted the frame of the demonic fox. "Wow you look like crap."exclaimed Naruto as he walked towards the Great Kyuubi no Yoko who still look the same as ever, it had its trademark orange fur accompanied by nine tails swishing about, and it still had the same red eyes.
Yeah still the same as ever…
Well the same, aside from the fact that the great Kyuubi was now just the size of a small common house dog.
A really small house dog who at that moment looked snappish as it continued to glare at him with its blood-shot eyes.
"SCREW YOU BRAT!"
"Sorry I don't swing that umm whatever way a chakra beast/demon/devil/fox like you swings."
"GRRR JUST TELL ME WHY YOU'RE HERE THEN GET OUT! I NEED SOME SLEEP!"
"Huh that's strange don't you always sleep in here?"
"IT'S BEEN REAL NOISY RECENTLY, NOW GAKI TELL ME WHY YOU'RE HERE BEFORE I DESTROY YOU WITH MY POWER!"
"You know you were much more threatening when you were huge."
The fox scowled before growling. "DON'T WASTE ANYMORE OF MY SLEEPING TIME!"
"Okay okay fine, you think you could lend me some of your power without me going insane?"
"FUCK OFF MONKEY! I ALREADY WILLINGLY GIVE YOU A SMALL PIECE OF MY ALMIGHTY GREATNESS YET YOU STILL CONTINUE TO WISH FOR MORE! GREEDY MONKEY LEARN YOUR PLACE!"
"So is that a maybe?"
"IT'S A NO!"
"But why? Come on be a pall fuzzy butt"
"GRRRR! WHY BECAUSE EVER SINCE YOU TURNED INTO A DEVIL OR WHATEVER THE HELL YOU ARE RIGHT NOW MY POWERS BECAME FUCKED UP BEYOND RECOGNITION! GRRR! PISS ME OFF ANY FURTHER AND I'LL REALLY SCREW WITH THE PHERMONES YOU RELEASE. I'll MAKE ITS SO YOU ACTUALLY RELEASE DOUBLE THE AMOUNT YOUR BODY IS PRODUCING!"
"You can actually do that?" asked Naruto who was rather shocked by this new information. If his tenant were to do as it threatened then the consequence would be catastrophic. He might be forced to live a life away from civilization just so he could avoid getting mobbed and killed by the girls who chase after him.
"I DON'T KNOW! BUT I'M ABOUT TO TRY!" yelled the still cranky Kyuubi.
Naruto took a step away from the creäture while showing a rare expression of fear upon his face. "You wouldn't." Naruto said in shock as he glared the small puppy sized Kyuubi.
"IF YOU KEEP PISSING ME OFF ANY FURTHER THEN I-"
"Wouldn't mess with Naruto's body, isn't that right Kyuubi-san?" cut in a new voice coming from the forest opposite of Naruto and the kyuubi.
"UGHHH YOU TWO AGAIN…" grumbled the Kyuubi as it glared at the presence of the two new comers.
The first was boy who looked a few years younger than the other blond, the boy was clad in a white jacket with matching pants, this boy bore a striking resemblance to its prison as seen through the boy's blue eyes and blond spikey hair. The second new comer was a girl with knee-length red hair and violet eyes, she was wearing a short-sleeved tan kimono-like blouse.
Just from the sight of the two the Kyuubi wanted nothing more than to kill them where they stood.
"Oh don't you like us Kyuubi-chan?" asked the girl with vibrant red hair.
"-CHAN? GRR YOU DARE CALL ME CHAN? IF I WERE BACK TO MY FULL SIZE AND POWER I WOULD HAVE KILLED ALL OF YOU WITHOUT HESITATION!" roared the miniature Kyuubi who by all intents and purposes did not look threatening, rather it actually looked cute.
"Why all the hate?" asked the younger looking blond.
"WHY? WHY?"GRRRRR I SWEAR TO RIKUDO I'M- HEY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" shouted the miniature Bijuu as its tenant grabbed it by its small arm and lifted it up in the air.
"Well since you don't really want to help me and you're kinda cranky then you can stay here and sleep while I talk with my friends over there." Said the blond shinobi while shouts profanities and death threats that would have made sailors blush rapidly fired off the nine tailed kitsune's mouth. Taking out a sturdy rope (where it came from even Naruto didn't know) he made a small leash and tied it around the bijuu's neck before tying said creature up on a nearby tree.
"YOU INSIGNIFICANT WHELP! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU BIND ME LIKE THIS! YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS! I'LL KILL YOU! I SWEAR TO RIKUDO THAT I WILL MURDER YOU WHEN I REGAIN MY FULL POWER!"
"Yeah, yeah, kill you, murder you, burn your village to the ground, you can threaten me all you want but you can't hurt me when your tied up like that dattebayo." Ignoring the growls and several other shouts of hate coming from his tenant the blond turned towards the other two presences in his mindscape. "Evening Minato-san and Kushina-chan, how are you two? Did you guys finally get your memories back or is it still messy up your heads?" he asked with a goofy grin.
"Hahaha it's getting there I remember a few more jutsus but aside from that my memories are still fuzzy." replied Minato while scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah same for me! But I did remember one extremely badass Raiton jutsu dattebane!" cheerfully shouted Kushina.
"Oh? Really! Can I see? Can I see?" Naruto asked almost really didn't know who the two others were, and they didn't really know who they were since they apparently had some form of amnesia but the two were supposedly souls that were sealed inside him along with the Kyuubi so far the only thing he got from them were their names Kushina and Minato. He had no idea why they were stuck inside him in the first place but he wasn't one to complain since the two of them were pretty nice and cool to hang around with.
Heck they even helped him learn a few jutsus that they still remembered, freaking deadly Fuuton jutsu from Minato and kick ass Raiton Jutsu from Kushina has made his life as a devil and shinobi way better than it was before.
"Just watch!" the red-head boldly proclaimed as she started going through several hand seals. She finished with a Ram seal which caused sparks of bluish white lightning to surround the girl in the form of a dazzling sparking cloak with nine shocking tails. Not even a second later the red-head extended her hands towards a nearby tree while still holding the Ram seal which generated the form of a large roaring fox of pure lightning that soared through the air and crashed against the forestry destroying and burning several trees before eventually fading out of existence.
Naruto's jaw dropped almost immediately while Minato let out an impressed whistle.
"Bwahahahahaha its awesome right?" the red-head laughed triumphantly while placing her hands on her waist.
"Wow that was badass! What's it called?" asked Naruto who was in awe at the jutsu's destructive capabilities. It was definitely a move that he wanted to learn.
She grinned proudly before pumping one of her fists up in the air. "I don't know!"
The two men face planted.
"I just remember how to do it but I don't know what it's called."
From the ground Naruto looked up towards the smiling Kushina. "Can you teach it to me?" he asked.
The red headed girl puffed her chest out. "Of course not! I can't I teach it to you because I don't know how it works! My body just remembered how to do it! Heck I don't even remember the basic concept of the technique I just did it unconsciously dattebane!"
'Then why are you acting so proudly?' The two still face planted blonds thought.
"It's really too bad that the most you two can teach me here are the hand seals and the basic concept behind these techniques if you could remember them but then again you two have given me great ideas." Said the still face planted Naruto.
"No problem, I'm glad that we could help." Muttered Minato.
"Mhm" Kushina crossed her arms around her still developing bosom "It's the least we could do so we don't have to pay rent."
"Ugh Kushi we don't even pay rent or did you forget that were inside Naruto-san's mind?"
"Ah! Oh yeah forgot about that tehee~" she stuck her tongue out in a rather cute manner before tilting her head to the side and lightning bonking her own head.
"Kawaii" the two blond's simultaneously thought.
Let it be known that both had a rather peculiar weakness towards red-heads.
Naruto managing to recover first from the red head's cuteness proximity turned to his fellow blond. "Also is there any way to make that Hiraishin thingy you've been talking about and trying to teach me the last few months any simpler? I mean I tried experimenting on it a bit but it was really a pain in the ass."
"Hehehe sorry about that Naruto but if I had my full notes I'd show them to you since I know they could help you out even more." Apologized the other blond.
Kushina snickered catching the attention of the two blonds "It's because Mina-kun is a nerd and us normal folk can't understand his gibberish."
A tick mark appeared on his fellow blond's head. "Hey I'm not a nerd!" He quickly protested while getting up from the ground.
The red-haired girl grinned, pointing one of her fingers to the boy's face. "Yes, you are you girly boy!"
"No I'm not you Tomboy!" roared the rather ticked off looking "girly" looking blond.
It was Kushina's turn to have a tick mark appear on her head. "Flimsy!" she shouted.
"Tomato!" Minato shouted back as he glared at the red-haired girl, sparks of electricity appearing between their heated gazes.
"Well thanks for the show but I think it's time for me to go, I'll see you two and the fox next time." whispered Naruto who by then already stood up and quickly distanced himself from the two bickering teens.
He didn't really know why but he never really wanted to see an argument between his too tenants. It just felt really uncomfortable to for him to see the two fighting for some reason. That and he really didn't want to see the blond get his ass handed to him by the red-haired girl as he'd seen so in the past. He still shudders how it sadly mirrored his old relationship with Sakura.
The shinobi took one more glance at his other tenants before shaking his head at their continued bickering and departing from his mindscape leaving behind the two teenagers who were still glaring at each other.
A few minutes of intense glaring later Minato finally broke his glare from the red-haired beauty. "So Kushi-chan want to make out?" he suddenly asked.
The red-head girl's eyes widened for a moment before she let out a cute giggle, a small blush appearing on her face. "I thought you'd never ask Mina-kun." Replied the girl as she inched closer towards the spikey haired blond.
From a far the great Kyuubi no Yoko now reduced to the size of a mere house dog placed its paws over its ears to block out the sounds coming from the two hormonal teenage versions of the people responsible for majority of its misfortune including its recent lack of recent sleep with all the noises the two were constantly making. "I FUCKING HATE YOU MONKEYS." It muttered under its breath while swearing revenge upon them all.
-Line Break-
A tick mark immediately appeared on Naruto's head as he returned to the real world after his rather fruitless session of talking with the residents of his mind. "The fuck are you doing?" He blurted out as he watched his clone picking its nose while laying down on his bed in a rather lazy manner.
"Reading." said the clone who pointed at the magazine sprawled out on top of the bed.
"And what are you reading?"
The clone lifted up the magazine and showed Naruto the cover which had a smoking hot red-head woman clad in a rather skimpy lingerie. "Porn."
Naruto started rubbing his temples. "Did you at least do my homework?" he asked.
"Nope." was his clone's quick reply as it turned a page from his magazine.
"Why?"
The clone glared at its creator. "Because fuck you! You don't even want to do it for yourself then why the hell should I bother doing it for you dattebayo!" Those were the famous last words from the clone who was instantly dispelled by Naruto.
"Stupid clone." Whispered the blond as he reached for his materials for school, having skipped a lot for the past month he had a lot of catching up to do.
"Ugghh I'd rather fight a group of fallen angels than do this." He complained as he opened up a text book labelled Japanese Mythology and began reading about the god and goddesses of Japan particularly a passage about the god of the sea and storms. "Interesting sword." He whispered as he continued reading the tales of the god's journey for homework.
-A Pledge to my King-
The next week or two for one Naruto Uzumaki was rather well to put it in one word, normal.
Most of his time was spent doing rather menial tasks such as: training both his body and mind, doing school work, running from the different mobs, screaming at a certain member of said mob to get his stomach stabbed by a spear in response to a comment that the blond should get a hand pierced through his chest, beating the crap out of all the haters who wanted to maul him, distributing his devil contracts on streets using his clones, working in the Ramen restaurant, secretly eating Ramen from said restaurant, getting chased by a rather pissed off owner of said Restaurant after being found guilty of secretly eating the store's Ramen, getting blown away by a demonic ray gun from said restaurant Ramen shop owner.
To some this may sound like an insane week but for one Naruto Uzumaki it was relatively normal when compared to the other thrilling stuff he's done throughout his life.
Although the week was not entirely that boring as it did have certain highlights as seen through the times the blond shinobi spent with the other members of the Occult Research Club.
Without having to train 24/7 for his middle promotion exam the blond shinobi managed to spend more quality time with the other members.
He and Rias divided their time between talking about several topics such as the current ongoing around the different realms while also talking about the newest anime shows that were currently trending both the human world and the devil world along with playing chess a game which Naruto hated because he thought it was boring beyond hell, but he bared with it since his King always enjoyed playing a game or two or twenty against him.
With Akeno the teen spent most of his time with her blushing furiously as she often teased him with her body –much to his King's displeasure. But aside from that the two of them spent some time training in magic or as Naruto vehemently called it Jutsus since the two of them had a similarity in elements as they both could use and control lightning. He still had the marks from some of her accidental lightning bolts that sometimes hit too close for comfort.
In the case of Kiba the shinobi spent his time actually working with his fellow blond in his work place. The swordsman was hired as a temporary part-time worker for the restaurant until more help could be hired. He tried asking Kiba what his fellow blond needed the money for to which Kiba replied with a sad and almost hopeless tone saying it was for the rent. When he asked why he needed it for the rent he could have sworn that for a moment the usually kind, gentle, and cheerful swordman wanted to choke him to death, what a funny guy.
As promised, he and Koneko trained and honed their bodies for countless hours through relatively insane means. To up his training Naruto tried multiplying all the heaviness of all the weights strapped around his body tenfold which definitely was not his brightest idea, as the petite cat-like girl chuckled at seeing him sprawled on the ground like a bug. Well at least she was pretty cute when she laughed, that made the experience way better for him than it should have been.
In hindsight, Naruto should have been more appreciative and joyful of these days.
But alas there was no way for him to know that these days were quickly dwindling away.
In the future, he will beg even the Gods for days like these.
The soon to be seldom seen normal days.
-A Pledge to my King-
This night marked the beginning of the end.
It was already the middle of the night, the streets relatively empty as the people of the earth enjoyed the warmth given to them by the solace and safety of their homes.
After a generally uneventful day spent by lounging around the occult research club room one Naruto Uzumaki could be found happily walking down the empty streets with a small plastic bag in hand. By the large smile on the blond's face it could be assumed that the contents of said bag must be precious as every now and then the blond took a peek in its contents and giggled ever so lightly.
Now if most people were to see this, they would assume that the contents of the bag was of the perverted nature that a certain brown-haired boy or a certain perverted sage from another would most certainly enjoy but that was far from the truth.
"I've finally gotten it." He whispered happily as peeked in the bag. "It took me a while because of all the stuff that happened really but I finally got it!" Placing one hand inside the bag the teen quickly pulled out its contents, a blue-ray box set that showed the picture of a crimson red mechanical robot with what looked like a pair of glasses strapped upon its chest.
It was a limited edition Blue-Ray Box set of the one anime show that everyone in his school was talking about. Now he was by no means an Otaku but it became a sort of hobby for him to watch and collect CD's of this things called Anime. Truth be told if there was anyone to blade for his current hobby it was his King who despite denying the she was Otaku introduced him to this foreign mode of Media. At first he didn't really like the idea of just sitting around and watching make belief characters fight and talk about random stuff as he preferred to exercise and train his body.
But after watching a couple of series involving this gigantic beings known as mechas, robots, knightmares, gundams, and evangelions, he became a fan of anime. Just the thought of those things that were bigger and more badass than any summon he could think off just brought shivers down his spine, it even made him consider the thought of saving up enough money so he can build his own robot in the future. Sadly, his plan was quickly shot down by Rias who told him it was a waste of money. He tried arguing with her but when she equated the amount of money he'll need to build a robot and the number of Ramen he could eat with said amount of money the shinobi quickly abandoned the idea.
Naruto grinned happily as he looked at his collectible Box-set "I'm going to enjoy watching this." He chuckled as a cool breeze of the evening sky went over him. "What did those otaku keep signing?" He cupped his chin in a rather puzzled manner before a small light bulb appeared on top of his head. "Row Row Fight the Pow-" He forcefully cut himself off whatever he was planning to say, eyes quickly narrowing the teen immediately tensed, his body readying itself to react towards the eerie atmosphere.
Yes, there was a strange feeling in the air, a mixture of both purity and impurity.
It was actually a familiar feeling to the blond as he felt this same aura on two individuals that he had the pleasure of meeting. One was none other than his King's Queen Akeno who gave out the same feeling although in a lesser extent, and the other came in the form of a perverted patron that often ordered ramen in his work place. That man practically radiated off this feeling by waves that he was sure he would have drowned in its presence.
The slight spiking of killing intent confirmed his suspicions alerting him to the hostile presence in the area.
The teen calmly placed his collectible Box set in the plastic bag then into the safety of his school's blazer.
*WOOSH*
The sound of something passing through the air caught the shinobi's attention.
It was a spear, a spear made of yellow light sailing through the air as it approached him in breakneck speeds.
"Fallen Angel…" the teen whispered as he quickly somersaulted backwards to avoid getting impaled by holy spear made of pure light that crashed against the very spot he stood in mere moments ago.
As he flipped backwards a single kunai quickly dropped down from right sleeve of the shinobis blazer. Halting his summersaults the teen took hold of the blade and held it defensively in front of his body while glaring at his attacker.
A buxom woman with long navy blue hair flying up in the air with her crow like wings. She was wearing what looked like a violet skirt matched by trenchcoat-like top with a wide collar giving a view of her rather voluptuous breasts and cleavage.
"Oi what the hell is a Fallen Angel like you doing here?" Naruto asked only for his response to come in the form of a yellow spear of light forming in the Fallen Angel's hands.
She then threw the spear at him.
"Devil hunting" said the fallen angel with a rather arrogant tone as she smirked while watching her spear hit its target piercing the blond devil right through his chest.
*SMASH*
Only to find an impaled log in the place of the devil.
"What the?" she muttered out in shock as she looked closely and confirmed that she indeed attacked a log instead of the shinobi.
"Hey!" The Fallen Angel's head snapped towards the direction of the voice and found that the devil she was trying to kill was standing a few steps away from the now broken log.
"I just asked what a fallen angel like you is-" Naruto was cut off when another spear of light was thrown at him courtesy of the Fallen Angel.
Much to her shock the buxom fallen angel found that she once more hit a log instead of her target.
"You know I think we may have gone off in the wrong foot." Stated Naruto as he appeared out of the shadows of the night and began walking towards the still flying fallen angel. "So um mind telling me your name and why you're attacking me?" The shinobi asked while making sure not to let his guard down.
"My name is KalawaIner" the Fallen Angel introduced as she kept flying around the blond "And I was merely taking a stroll because of boredom. You devil were just unlucky to meet my path tonight." A yellow spear of holiness appeared in her right hand. "Now stop moving so I can impale you with my lance."
She threw the spear once more, this time the blond shinobi did not even bother replacing himself with a log as he easily moved his body away from the spear's trajectory. "But that will hurt!"
"That's the plan stray devil!" the woman shouted as she created another spear and attempted to dive bomb the blond. However she did not even come close into hitting her target as the blond carefully parried her initial thrusts with his kunai and avoided her follow up spear throw that attempted once more to impale the shinobi.
"Oi seriously stop that! If you don't I'm really going to beat the crap out of you."
"A Low-Class Stray Devil? Don't kid yourself."
Naruto furrowed his brows and clenched his teeth. "What did you call me?"
She smirked flying high above the sky looking down on the devil. "Low-Class Stray Devil."
He may have cheered up, but he was actually still a bit sore about his lost in the hands of Sairaorg so calling him a Low-class devil really rubbed him off the wrong way.
Kalawarner chuckled rather loudly. "Did I hit a nerve Low-Class?" She asked as she kept looking down on Naruto.
"That's it! You decided to fuck with the wrong devil tonight!" yelled Naruto, screw trying to play around and gathering information. This woman was going down. He started channelling chakra around his body, his power levels slowly spiking up. "I'm going to kick your ass first and ask questions later dattebayo!"
"Heh I'd like to see you-" the blond devil disappeared from her vision in a burst of speed, two feet shaped cracks were visible on the spot where he stood moments ago. "-Try" she managed to mutter out before a fist landed on her left cheek.
It was a punch, just a simple punch that sent her crashing from the high heaven's where she flew towards the hard surface of the concrete ground. With a loud crash the pavement cracked under the force of blow which would have probably killed or incapacitated its target.
The Fallen Angel yelped in pain but endured the blow to the best of her capabilities. With all her might Kalawarner rolled out of the broken pavement just in time to avoid an axe kick courtesy of the devil. The pavement however was not lucky as it cracked even further under the might of the blow sending large debris flying around the area.
The fallen angel quickly brought her hands up over her face and chest, protecting herself from several large chunks of earth the pelted her voluptuous frame. However, before the hail of deadly rocks could even end Kalawarner was already sent skidding away as a fierce kick courtesy of the shinobi landed upon her guard.
She gritted her teeth, her arms hurt like hell. They were sore but she knew that at least it was still functional. The fallen angel extended her left hand to the side conjuring another spear of holy light. With her wings flapping ever so fiercely she shot herself from the ground and once more flew high above the shinobi.
Blue eye's focused upon the airborne fallen angel. "There!" the teen whispered as he tossed two kunais at the fallen angel. Kalawarner saw the two projectile coming from miles away, with a shifting of her body she was able to evade the first blade, and with a sway of her spear she was able to parry away the other.
The Fallen Angel gazed upon her target before throwing the spear in her hand towards the shinobi. Predictably her lance was once more easily evaded by what she though was a low-class stray devil.
She gulped.
A feeling of dread quickly coursed through the Kalawarner, any feeling of arrogance, superiority, and confidence that she may have had going into this battle was washed away as one single idea formed in the recess of her minds.
She may have bitten off more than she could chew.
With a burst of speed that she could barely comprehend the blond vanished from her vision. Although, still not used with dealing with his speed the Fallen Angel succeeded in bringing up her guard to block the blond's fierce blitz. This time his fist missed its intended target in her chest and instead landed on her right shoulder.
"Boom." she heard the teen whisper before she was blown back a few metres away by the sheer force of the blow. A loud audible crack echoed in the area assuring the two combatant's that the blond' broke something with his punch.
It took all that she could to not scream out in pain.
She could feel several of her shoulder's bones were already broken from just getting hit causing her right arm to hang uselessly to her side further handicapping her from this fight.
It was clear who was going to win.
Clicking her tongue the fallen angel quickly formed another spear with her better hand. If she was going to get killed then it was better if she went down fighting. Taking aim she threw her spear once more and much to her surprise the teen did not evade this time but rather he parried it away with a kunai.
Her mystical spear that embodied her holy powers could not even destroy a simple knife made of some kind of metal.
*WOOSH*
The small metal knife sailed through the air, missing the Fallen Angel by a large margin as it planted itself far behind her.
"You're aim sucks." Kalawarner couldn't help but mutter out.
"Says the angel who can't hit a little lowly devil such as myself with one of your oversized shiny holy dildos." Replied Naruto in a rather off-handed manner.
The fallen angel had the decency to blush upon hearing his rather crude words. "You- you dare to mock me you devil?" another spear formed in her working hand.
"Good come back, really original."Exclaimed the blond as he was replaced by log that took the deathblow in his place.
"Where the hell is all these logs coming from?" yelled the Fallen Angel who was at her wits end.
"There are logs everywhere you just need to look for them." Let it be known since his life and death encounter with the deadly Nue the Uzumaki made it his priority to master the Kawarimi no Jutsu (Substitution Technique).
Another kunai dropped from the blond's sleeve, this one he tossed on the ground just a few feet in front of him. "Oh and by the way." He smirked while his hands blurred through several hand seals. It wasn't as like he hasn't learned any other jutsu over the course of the last four years it was actually the opposite since he learned several jutsus and made some of his own with the help of the people residing in his mindscape –when they were not fighting that is.
Really whoever those two really were they've been really helpful over the years.
"What was that word ummm… that's it!" He grinned "Check mate."
"Huh?"
"Raiton: Mitsumata Denko (Lightning Release: Three-Pronged Lightning)" exclaimed Naruto as bluish sparks of lightning appeared on the Kunai stabbed on the ground in front of the blond along with two other kunais which were embedded on the ground behind the fallen angel.
Unknown to Kalawarner she was stuck right in the middle of a triangle created by the three steel blades. Before she could even comprehend what the blond was planning the fallen angel was already screaming out in pain as lightning coming from the steel blades which acted like a lightning rod assaulted her from three different locations.
She was shocked for a good ten seconds before the lightning coming from the kunai's ceased.
Kalawarner fell on one knee almost immediately after attack.
Her clothes were torn, her skin slightly burned and singed. She could feel every nerve of her body shouting at her in intense pain. She couldn't even feel the very wings she was so proud off as it was badly burned by the attack.
"Ugghhh… ahhh…." retaining consciousness despite taking on the full brunt of the blond shinobi's assault the Fallen Angel heavily panted as she glared at a smiling Naruto,
"You're definitely more durable than you look. I have to give you props for that." With another burst of speed the blond shinobi appeared in front of the Kalawarner smashing his right knee up towards her in the gut making her entire upper body jerk upwards.
The teen's left hand then lashed out grabbing the fallen angel by her head before she could react. "Now then I need you to come with me for some questioning but since I know you're going to struggle until the end then I'm going to have to knock you out."
Wisps of blue chirping lightning started appearing around his left hand.
"This might hurt a bit."
This was one of the few techniques he developed by himself over the past few years. His own version of the jutsu that pierced him through the heart, but rather than piercing this jutsu was focused on just grabbing the enemy and electrocuting them to death. Not that he was going to use it by its full power since he needed her alive after all.
"Raiton: Rakurai (Lightning Strike)" the blond whispered as the bluish sparks surrounding his hands became even more concentrated. The sounds of a hundred birds chirping about could be heard from a far as electricity channeled through Kalawarner's pain course through the Fallen Angel's system. Her eyes slowly rolled to the back of her head while droll fell from the side of her mouth before an overall sense of numbness began kicking in her body as her world slowly turned black.
Eventually Naruto released her hold on the woman's body letting her fall down on the ground unconscious. "Hehehe someone's going to have one massive headache when they wake up."The devil then looked at the woman's downed form. "But I think I might have gone a little overboard." The shinobi from Konoha suddenly chuckled. "Well it's nothing Rias-chan or Sado-chan can fix."
He walked towards the fallen angel's body before bending his knees and extending an arm to grab his would be prisoner. "Now to get some answers as to why you're hanging out in our turf."
The blond sighed as he detected another spike of killing intent in the area, this one more malicious than the one belonging to his already fallen foe. "Oh for God's sake" he cursed out ignoring the pain coursing through his body as he quickly grabbed the woman's fainted form before using Kawarimi no Jutsu (Substitution Technique).
*SMASH*
This time a spear of blue light pierced through another log.
The blonde flipped through the air landing a top a nearby lamp-post as he held the unconscious Kalawarner in his hands. "Another dildo… this time blue…" His eyes narrowed on the spot the spear hit, it was thrown in angle that would have killed both him and the unconscious fallen angel in his hands if it hit.
Turning his head towards the direction from which the spear was thrown the blond shinobi saw another fallen angel flying in the sky. This one looking like a middle-aged man with short black hair wearing a violet trench coat over a white shirt which was topped off by a black fedora. "How fortunate of me! Too actually to bump into someone strong in a place like this! I was only here to see what the bitch was doing but who knew I'd find a gem worthy for battle here!"
The Fallen Angel stared at the devil with a rather crazed expression on his face. "My name is Dohnaseek. Fight me!"
Naruto jumped down from the lamp-post and landed on the ground with a barely audible thud. He knelt gently placing the unconscious Kalawarner against the post before quickly turning around and lashing his leg out to kick another light spear that threatened to kill both him and Kalawarner. "Oi, what the hell was that for? You could have hit her!"
"Che she was weak and insignificant, her death would have not meant anything."
"What was that?" Naruto asked as he glared at Dohnaseek.
"I said she was weak! I don't care if she dies!" to emphasize his point he the man created and tossed another spear at the unconscious Kalawarner.
Responding quickly the blond shinobi managed to grab on to the spear. He winced almost immediately as he felt the palms of his hands burn as it came into contact with the Holy object. Ignoring the pain the teen tossed the spear away causing it to dissipate into the air.
"A Devil looking out for a Fallen Angel? Hahahaha I'd never think I'd live to see this day!" the sharply dressed gentleman roared out in a bellow of laughter's.
Being one who believed in the words of his old sensei Kakashi, Naruto couldn't help but feel pissed at the Fallen Angel's actions. "Those who abandon their friends and comrades are lower than scum." Naruto whispered as one though came to mind, this guy was definitely going down.
"Friends? I don't care about those! She was weak. Now unlike her, you on the other hand looks strong, so fight me seriously you stray!" The male fallen angel laughed out manically as a single blue spear formed within his hands before he dove from the sky and charged at the shinobi.
If he wanted to fight then he'd get one...
Just not the one that he would have expected.
Naruto inwardly smirked.
Time to play with the jackass.
"What the hell is all with you Fallen Angels thinking I'm a stray devil?" Naruto asked in a rather mocking tone as he quickly ran towards the Fallen Angel, another Kunai dropped from his right sleeve into the firm grip of his right hand.
*Shing*
Sparks flew into the air as the shinobi's simple knife clashed against the holy spear as both combatants pushed against the other creating a short struggle for dominance as the two pushed their strengths into their respective blows hoping to force the other to yield.
Dohnaseek was the first to relent, the fedora wearing man quickly pulled his spear back before thrusting it with renewed speed, strength, and ferocity towards the shinobi.
The Fallen Angel Dohnaseeks was fast, faster than a regular human or shonobi but to him, to his eyes who had dealt with stronger and faster opponents it was as if the Fallen Angel moved in slow motion.
Taking one step to his right the blond avoided the first thrust.
Swaying his body even further away he managed to evade the second blow.
Tilting his head to the left allowed him to dodge the third attack aimed for his head.
Ducking down by bending his knees he avoided getting mowed down by the shaft of the spear
From his lowered position the shinobi sprang upwards with his kunai firmly gripped in hand.
*Slash*
With one swift motion of his hand he brought his kunai upon the Fallen Angel's face slicing the man vertically from his cheek towards eye. However before the kanai could pass through and damage his eyes the black winged Fallen Angel jumped back and flew up in the air.
*Drip*
A single line of blood fell down the angels face.
Normally a person would be pissed or terrified upon the sight of someone easily wounding their face, but that was not the case for Dohnaseek for instead of looking afraid or angry the man was smiling brightly. Yes, a cruel sadistic or rather masochistic smile that was almost perverse and orgasmic in nature. Definitely an expression fitting a Battle Maniac such as himself.
Looking down on the shinobi the Fallen Angel let out a roar of laughter as one tiny speck of blood fell from his cheek.
*Drop*
A barely audible echo of the small droplet hitting the ground served as a signal for the two to resume their battle. Wings about flapping wildly the Fallen Angel descended from the heavens. Dohnaseek's blue spear shined an even holier hue of blue signifying an increase in its power before he trusted his spear rapidly towards the shinobi.
*Shing* *Shing* *Shing*
Hands almost blurring in speed the blond shinobi parried the increasingly overwhelming attack. From below it looked as if a rain of holy blue water poured down upon him. Not wanting to get overwhelmed the blond shinobi channeled chakra to the soles of his feet before jumping back, away from the rain of inevitable holy death.
As he jumped away the blond shinobi's free hand reached for the pockets of his pants and pulled out four shurikens that he carefully hid in his uniform –Stupid human world anti-weaponry laws. Lashing his arm the shinobi threw all four projectiles with great precision towards Dohnaseek.
*Woosh!*
The four shurikens cut through the air as they approached Fallen Angel. "You think using only four of those is enough to defeat me?" the dandy looking man asked while he prepared himself to parry the attack.
"Then try this! Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)!" shouted Naruto.
Seconds after those words left his mouth what was once four measly shurikens suddenly turned into a myriad of deadly spinning metallic stars numbering at least forty.
Rather than be shocked at his sudden plight the Fallen Angels instead grinned while he spun his holy spear in front of him while also waving wish wings in a rather fierce way to block or blow away the deadly spinning stars.
"That's what I'm talking about stray!" The Fallen angel blocked the last shuriken before he came charging in once more, trying to impale Naruto with a thrust of his holy spear.
*SMASH*
Another log covered was impaled and destroyed by the holy spear.
Dohnaseek's eye brows furrowed in frustration. "What the hell is up with all these logs interrupting my battle?"
Naruto appeared behind the Fallen Angel fist pulled back. "Don't dis the log." Muttered the blond as he threw a single punch aimed to the face. However instead of hitting his target the Fallen Angel managed to grab him by his sleeve of his offending limb. Twisting his body to the side Dohnaseek tossed the shinobi up in the air.
"I win!" the man shouted as he threw his spear towards the air-borne blond in an attempt to gore him and end this battle.
"No you don't." was the simple yet snark reply of the Devil.
Before the spear could even reach him a single clone appeared by Naruto's side, grabbing the original the clone then threw Naruto away from the spear's path, taking the killing blow in his place. Twirling the single kunai that was still in his hand, Naruto took aim and threw it aiming for the disarmed Fallen Angel chest.
Dohnaseek smirked as another spear of light appeared in his hand.
*CLANG*
With a powerful swing he not only blocked the projectile but utterly destroyed and smashed it to pieces. "Hahahahaha finally got rid of that thing!" said the sharply dressed Fallen Angel while he laughed from the top of his lungs. "Now time to kill you!" wings waving fiercely the Fallen Angel soared up in the sky before charging like a mad bull towards the shinobi.
Naruto internally shook his head towards his opponents single-minded and easily predictable attacks. Then again he was not one to talk since he was basically the same in a sense that he just relied on his clones and Rasengan until a few years ago.
Like a skilled and experienced Mathador the blond shinobi easily stepped to the side to avoid Dohnaseek.
"So… why do you guys keep calling me stray?" Naruto asked as if the two of them weren't fighting to the death. "I mean is it because I dress this way? He pointed at his attire.
*Dodge*
"Is it because I'm wearing orange?" another Kunai made from hell slipped from the shinobi's right sleeve. Holding the kunai in a backhand grip the shinobi clashed it against the spear once more making more sparks fly out in the air.
*CLANG*
"You know I've been a devil for about Four years and all the Stray Devil's I've seen were boob flashing monsters." Carefully watching the Fallen Angel the blond shinobi timed one of Dohnaseek's charges perfectly. Slightly extending his elbow to the side the devil managed to smash his elbow on the Fallen Angel's face forcing the man to stop his assault and take a few steps back while holding his bloodied nose.
Naruto shook his head and shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly. "Hell I've never even seen or heard about a male stray devil before."
Dohnaseek glared at the shinobi "Take this seriously!" he cried out before tossing his spear again.
Wow this was getting way repetitive.
*Smash*
His spear pierced another log which saved the blond from imminent death. "So why the hell did you people think I'm a stray?" Naruto asked as he appeared a few steps just left of the broken shards of his wooden savior.
Gritting his teeth in frustration the Fallen Angel Dohnaseek roared out a great battle cry that echoed within the expanse of the night. Blue holy spear glowing almost ominously the Angel pointed the tip towards the blond before rapidly trusting it forward.
Streams of blue entered the shinobi's vision.
It was fast definitely faster than before but it was still too slow, Beowulf was definitely insanely faster than this, Sairaorg was faster than this, hell even Kiba was faster than this.
Yes to the shinobi the Fallen Angels assault was just…
"Too slow" Naruto muttered silently as he carefully dodged each blow by a hair's breath.
"Come on man tell me why you guys keep saying I'm a stray devil? If you tell me then I won't kill you but rather I'll just beat you to an inch of your life for trying to kill your comrade in front of me. Deal?"
Speaking of Dohnaseek's comrades from the side of his vision Naruto spotted another Fallen Angel a blonde haired girl wearing a Gothic Lolita outfit.
At first he was expecting her to join the fray and help the older looking Fallen Angel in the battle but to his surprise the blond fallen angel grabbed the collapsed Kalawarner before quickly escaping the scene.
He clicked his tongue. "God damn it she got away." He cursed once more ignoring the great pain inflicted upon him as punishment for mentioning the name of God while also dodging the furious assault of the fallen angel.
Damned girl just grabbed his hostage.
Wait…
Hostage wasn't the right word since it made it sound like he was the bad guy.
Then again he was a devil so…
Naruto instinctively swayed his body to the left in order to evade a thrust aimed for his heart.
Oh yeah no time to ponder on that thought, back to the situation at hand.
Back to making fun of the battle maniac.
"Wow are all you fallen angels so rude? I've asked like ten questions and I still got no answers. I mean can't any of you answer a question without flinging a spear or attacking someone?"
"Grrrr….." growled Dohnaseek as he attacked the blond yet again as a tricled of blood yell from both his nose and the cut near his eye. "Hiiyaaaahhhh!" he roared out as he tried to maw down the blond by using the entire length of his spear.
The blue-eyed shinobi ducked down to avoid the entirety of the attack, "Like that! See it's really rude! I mean are all of you like these to devils? Or is it just me?" He asked.
Dohnaseek brought the spear up and smashed it down towards the blond only to find the teen has already rolled to the side causing him to miss completely and hit the pavement.
"So I guess it's me…" Naruto scratched the back of his head as he stood up "If so then damn that sucks since female fallen angels are smoking hot…"
"That much I can agree with you since those whores bodies were made to tempt men." Exclaimed Dohnaseek as he kept up his assault while trying his best not to get frustrated over the shinobi's words. Stupid annoying blond devil.
Again the fallen angel fiercely swiped his spear.
The shinobi ducked to avoid an overhead swipe of the spear, placing his hand on the ground the shinobi attempted a sweep only for the Fallen Angel to quickly fly above the shinobi. Pointing his spear down to the earth once more Dohnaseek let out another flurry of blows synonymous to a rain of blue death.
*Shing* *Shing* *Shing* *Shing* *Shing*
With his Kunai held firmly in a reverse grip the blond redirected and parried each thrust. 'Damn whatever type of metal it is they use to make his Kunais are really as sturdy as hell. Note to self, order more of kunais.' The shinobi thought.
"So mind telling me the answer chop chop. Oh and while you're at it can you tell me what the fuck you're doing here?" asked the blond as he kept parrying the man's attacks.
"I don't see your master around! I don't feel your master around! That's why I think you're stray! As to why I'm here it's none of your business stray! Now are you satisfied? Now fight me seriously!" roared the Fallen Angel, his attacks getting even fiercer.
"You think I'm a stray devil because I'm not near my master? Wow then by that logic every devil who are not in the presence of their masters are strays." Naruto's blue eyes gazed at the Fallen Angel's frame, by now he was properly adjusted with the timing, force, and speed of each the man's blows.
It was time to end this soon.
Naruto laughed. "Is that it man? I mean come on are you fallen angels one trick ponies who rely on your oversized didlos for attack? Hell I'm confident that if I wasn't a devil I would have still been strong enough to beat you. Actually I'll just stop talking and let my attacks do the talking for me." The blond devil took a deep breath while slightly bending his knees and leaning towards the slightly seething and panting Dohnaseek.
The man was in his range.
"Ikuzo (Let's go)… " the Shinobi smirked before he suddenly kicked off the ground and jumped high up into the air catching the Fallen Angel in surprise as the man did not even think of the possibility that the shinobi would jump from such a great distance.
Dohnaseek greatly paid for his mistake when the soles of Naruto's feet met the Fallen Angel's liver which elicited a loud shout of pain from the battle manic before he was shot towards the ground. However, it did not end there as upon contacting the earth the Fallen Angel's body bounced off the ground high enough to allow Naruto who landed behind the Fallen Angel to firmly plant himself on the pavement, allowing the blond shinobi to deliver a particularly devastating shoulder check upon the Dohnaseek's chest.
*CRASH*
The Fallen Angel's back smashed against a nearby concrete wall, his body drooping forward.
Not relenting his assault the blond shinobi quickly grabbed Dohnaseek by the top of his head before slamming in down towards the pavement creating a small crater underneath the man's head.
"Oh and before I forget" whispered Naruto hand still placed upon the older man's head. "I'm not a stray devil." Bluish white sparks of electricity started generating in the palms of his hand "I'm a Shinobi serving under the Gremory family."
More electricity began building up within the blond's palm.
He was only moments away from releasing several thousand bolts of electricity through the dandy man'shead when the man started laughing. "GREMORY? If that's so then there's no need to hold back!" the man roared out as his tainted holy powers started to spike up even higher.
Almost immediately Naruto's eyes widened realizing that something was amiss. Abandoning his planned attack the shinobi quickly released his hold on the stray devil before jumped back distancing himself from the still madly laughing Dohnaseek.
"This is the power granted to me by my lord!" The man shouted as his power spiked even further.
By then the blond caught on what was the source of the Fallen Angel's new-found power, instead of two there were four black wings on the man's back.
The Fallen Angel then attacked.
*WHOOSH*
In a span of seconds a storm of feathers from his four wings came flying towards the shinobi.
A storm of black feathers that were more a kin to sharp black daggers that soared and sliced through the air.
"Okay this is new…" muttered the blond shinobi as quickly he jumped back and crossed his arms across his chest and head while curling his knees towards his stomach effectively defending most of his vital areas.
*Shing!* *Shing!* *Shing!*
Several of the piercing deadly blades pelted against his body eliciting a loud clanking sound to echo about in the air.
Just like a passing storm the wave of black feathers left about destruction in its wake as the very ground that surrounded the blond was utterly devastated. Nearby walls were cracked, several lamps posts were destroyed, there were l large gashes scarred the earthen concrete tearing it a part like it was paper.
If it was not for the barrier placed onto the battlefield by the Fallen Angels then it would be sure that the entire neighborhood would be in chaos upon the sounds of the battle.
The feather storm eventually receded revealing the blond shinobi unto the world. There were no visible wounds upon his body but his clothes on the other hand were torn rather badly. Both his pants and the sleeves of his blazer were almost none existent at the point.
The Shinobi really had tothank God *Insert intense heavenly induced shock* that he was so durable otherwise he'd look like a pincushion.
"Bwahahahaha! What a catch what a catch. Here I thought you were just some insignificant stray devil, an easy prey but now I find out that you're a servant belonging to one of the Seventy Two Pillars! From the Gremory Family no less!"The man roared out, his voice in disturbing ecstasy. Raising his hand two large blue light spears formed behind Dohnaseek."I don't care anymore! If my actions starts a war then so be it! I know many of my kind would be happy to resume conflict!"
The two large spears then fell from the sky.
Eyes wide the shinobi quickly channeled his chakra towards the soul of his feet. Kicking off the ground the blond dashed away from the two spears only to find out that the two were thrown for the sake of distraction as he found himself assailed yet again by several dark feather blades.
Holding his ground the shinobi crossed his arms around his chest defending himself from the agony of being pelted by a hundred sharp feathers.
Not that they were strong enough to penetrate his defenses.
Indeed the Fallen Angel's power sharply rose but it was still far from even reaching the level of power where the blond and many others currently stood. At the moment Dohnaseek only stood around the same level as the blond's friends so in by any means he should not get cocky by just landing a surprise blow on the shinobi.
"Bwahahah where is your log now?" The Fallen Angel kept laughing sinisterly while the shinobi froze upon realizing that one sharp feather passed through his guard.
One feather that stabbed itself through his chest.
One feather that embedded itself upon the treasure that he was hiding beneath his jacket.
*Crack*
Naruto's jaw dropped, his eyes widened while his pupils dilated. The shinobi stared down on the single feather, as dread and fear formed in the pit of his stomach.
The Shinobi plucked the feather out, and to confirm his fears the shinobi found that his CD was shattered to pieces.
Limited Edition Collectible CD Ruined.
Playtime was officially over.
"It's time to draw first blood in this upcoming war!" Dohnaseek proclaimed completely oblivious to the blond's plight. "You will be but the first of many to fall!" yelled the older man as a single large spear appeared in his hand.
The shinobi just kept looking at the small gash in his chest, his normally blue eyes were ominously shadowed by his hair.
Four fluttering wings were ignored as it released more feathers "With my new power there is no way you can defeat me! Die Servant of Gremory!" boldly proclaimed the Fallen Angel as he charged towards the still silent blond.
"You…" the teen whispered as he ignored the Fallen Angel's babblings and evaded the thrust of the man's spear. The teen then stomped on the ground with such force that it created a small shockwave which blew away not only the offending feathers but also Dohnaseek who was attempting to stab the blond.
"You…" the blond's killing intent spiked up along with his Chakra and a small amount of his crimson malice filled Youki. "You broke my CD!" he yelled out as he pointed an accusing finger on the still airborne blood lusted Fallen Angel.
"So?" The Fallen Angel dive bombed at the shinobi with the tip of his spear pointing at the shonobi's stomach.
"You are dead dattebayo!" yelled Naruto as he swayed his upper body away from the attacks path. He then lashed his legs and kicked one of the Fallen Angel's wings causing Dohnaseek to momentarily flinch. Using this to his advantage the shinobi quickly closed the distance and punched the sharply dressed man in the stomach.
"Uggghhh!" the man grunted in pain before another fist soon met his face which sent him crashing through a nearby lamp-post.
Channeling chakra to his feet Naruto kicked off the ground and charged towards the wreckage. However before he could even attack the shinobi was forced to jump back and dodge as several light spears along with the now broken lamp-post were thrown at him by Dohnaseek.
"You said I can't defeat you right?" the shonobi snickered as he methodically avoided several more spears being thrown at him by the Fallen Angel. It was no use, by now his own eyes were already well adjusted to the new strength and speed of Dohnaseek's new attacks.
"You have no idea how many people I've fought told me that." With a puff of smoke two kunais appeared in each of the blond's hand. With a quick flick of his wrists he threw both blades at the Fallen Angel.
*Woosh* *Woosh*
Both blades passed through all of the Fallen Angel's wings missing their targets almost entirely. "Huh what was that? You're aim sucks!" shouted Dohnaseek as two large blue spears materialized above him. "It's about time I end this!"
Choosing to ignore the Fallen Angel's comment the blond just grinned as he continued his on with his words. "But do you know what I did to them every time they mouthed off like that?"He extended his left hand to his side whileDevilish Bat-like Wings snapped out of his back for the first time in the battle. The blond shinobi then propelled himself from the ground and flew towards the fallen angel with newfound speed.
It then happened in a flash.
A puff of smoke surrounded the two kunais that were thrown revealing themselves to be transformed clones of the blond shinobi.
Smirking both clones simultaneously waved one of their arms towards the Fallen Angel's wings. "Fuuton: Kazekiri! (Wind Release: Wind Cutter)" the two announced as a violent arc of destructive wind was expelled from their limbs.
Having been caught off guard the Fallen Angel shouted out in extreme pain as he felt all of his wings being torn, slashed, and shredded apart.
Dohnaseek hurriedly looked back to his wings unconsciously committing a grave mistake that a battle maniac like him should surely know.
He took his eyes off his opponents.
Before he could even look back at the devil it was already too late.
A compressed sphere of pure power that formed on top of the blond's left palm was rammed through Dohnaseek's stomach.
"I kicked their asses!" shouted the blond devil as he pushed the sphere with one hand grinding it further towards the Fallen Angel's body. "RASENGAN! (Spiraling Sphere)" the teen announced with a loud shout as Dohnaseek's body was launched backwards soaring through the air until he eventually fell and crashed rather violently towards the shattered and broken concrete road.
The roles has been reversed.
The blond devil who opted to stay on the ground was now soaring high above the sky looking down on the gravely wounded Fallen Angel who kept to the sky.
Naruto slowly descended down towards the collapsed figure of the Fallen Angel. Even from high above the heavens the blond's shinobi could see the spiral mark of his attack engraved upon the Fallen Angel's stomach along with the sight of at least three of Dohnaseek's wings which were badly torn and bleeding courtesy of the blond's blades of wind while the last remaining wing was bent unnaturally.
Landing on the ground the shinobi heard a cough coming from Dohnaseek. "D-don't." Cried out the Fallen Angel as blood spilled out of his mouth due to ruptured organs in his body caused by the Rasengan. "Kill me…"
"Now you beg to live?" Naruto shook his head disapprovingly while his two bat-like wings began fluttering about menacingly. "You know I've killed others before you, some of them not even deserving of death…" The shinobi took a deep breath his expression morphed into one of pure seriousness. "So tell me do really think I'd feel remorse in killing a battle hungry fallen angel like you who doesn't care about their comrades and attacks others without good reason? My Broken CD aside you're a Fallen Angel who'd willingly start a war that can kill thousands from all three factions just for the sake of your own twisted happiness?" He glared at the fallen devil with cold blue eyes that brought fear into the battle crazed devil's very existence. "If I kill you I'd actually do the world a favor."
"Yo-u monster!" Dohnaseek coughed out as he desperately molded one last light spear with all his might. "If …I'll die… I'm taking you with me!" he shouted as he tried to stab the blond with the spear.
But much to his surprise the blond caught his holy spear by its shaft and pulled away from the Fallen Angel's grip. "I'm not a monster…" despite the spear burning his hands the young shinobi spun it around and pointed its sharp head over the shocked Dohnaseek's heart.
"I'm a devil -ttebayo" exclaimed Naruto Uzumaki as he gripped firmly into the sacred weapon before he used it to stab Dohnaseek through the chest, impaling the man's heart with his own holy spear.
The Fallen Angel known as Dohnaseek bled out and passed away within the span of a few seconds. He died with an expression of pure unadulterated fear and agony etched on his face upon seeing the visage of his demonic killer standing before him.
With his death the barrier that surrounded the area faded revealing the scarred and destroyed streets towards the normal world…
That was definitely going out of his wallet.
Sighing Naruto took one last glance on the dead body before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
Did he feel remorse for taking a life?
Of course he felt remorse.
It was inherently part of his nature to feel that emotion.
But there are just times when he needs to steel his heart and do what he had to do.
This was one of those moments.
Naruto exhaled breathing out warm air in contrast to cool temperature. The teen then opened his eyes and found nothing left of the Fallen Angel whose body turned into ashes which were then carried off by the wind. "There goes getting any information from that guy." He whispered as he reached for the now broken CD beneath his blazer. "Damn, I was really looking forward to watching this." He whispered rather defectively before throwing the useless piece of junk away.
Normally he would be happy about defeating such a blood thirst foe and ridding the world of more psychopaths but he knew that it was still far from over. He could still feel another fallen angel nearby, this one felt more powerful than the three (including the one that took Kalawarner) he had the pleasure of encountering.
"So many crows flying in the sky tonight…" he muttered while turning towards the direction of the last presence. "What the hell is going on here?" stated the teen before he disappeared in another burst of speed leaving nothing but a cloud of dust in his wake, replacing his CD can wait later.
-A Pledge to my King-
Several minutes of running underneath the night sky and following the presence of the Fallen Angel brought one Naruto Uzumaki in the midst of a relatively abandoned park.
There wasn't really anything special about this park, rather to equate it with the word special is an insult as it was relatively plain beyond all belief. There were plants, benches, a small fountain, making it look like most other parks in the area.
It would be by all definition normal if not for the fading feeling of malice that surrounded the area along with the heavy and thick scent of blood and iron that lingered ever so steadily in the air.
At first his eyes darted towards the source of the malice but found only a small amount of it remaining along with a trail of feathers possibly belonging to the Fallen Angel he had felt earlier.
A pained grunt echoed ever so weakly grabbing the shinobi's attention.
The shinobi from Konoha's head moved almost mechanically towards the source of the noise, which incidentally was also the source of the heavy metallic scent.
Naruto Uzumaki froze upon seeing a familiar teen.
A teen who was often one among the many people that constantly chased after him while spewing out various curses and death threats.
It was the very same teen he screamed at a few days ago.
Yes, lying there on the cemented ground soaked in a pool of his own blood, with spear of pure red light impaling him through his stomach, was none other than the dying pervert known as Issei Hyoudou.
Well Shit.
-A Pledge to my King END-
EN: Ugh… far from my best…This chapter is basically raising flags everywhere along with advancing plot… yep with this we enter the events of the first LN... what happened during the promotion exam will be mentioned repeatedly by several characters and will eventually be shown later on.
Closeness Meter towards Naruto on a scale of 1-10: Kiba: 7/10 Akeno: 7.5/10 Rias: 8/10 Koneko: 8/10 Issei: 3/10 Kurama 3/10 Minato: 6.5 Kushina: 6.5.
As to why Koneko is close to Naruto, well combat wise and ability wise she is the closest to Naruto over the other two girls that said during the long time since they've met Naruto has spent more time training with her than anyone else in Rias' peerage.
Reason for the first part where Naruto is said to have lost to Sairaorg is to give somewhat of a grasp of where Naruto's power level stands. He is strong enough to put a fight against Sai (Both of them however weren't fully going all out as Naruto did not use Kurama and Sairaorg did not use Regulus) but is still defeated meaning he can pretty much put up a good fight early in the story but will find it harder to fight with stronger enemies in the series if he doesn't step up his game.
I also know that I may get called out for how Naruto easily handled Kalawarner and Dohnaseek but I want to make it clear that at this point of the story they really aren't that strong. Hell Rias killed them easily with her Power of Destruction. The blond's first real challenges-The Strongest Youth aside who already owned him off screen in an epic battle that I'll lead to the imagination, will come in the form of Raiser's peerage.
Aside from being the ones who gave Naruto a few ideas about developing jutsus Minato and Kushina (both of which are still amnesiatic, regressed to their teenage personality, has forgotten almost everything aside from a few jutsus, they will regain their memories later on.) will have their own roles in this story, their presence and Kurama's circumstance (it being weakened as its powers was divided towards the several existence within Naruto) is actually a result of the Mutated Evil Piece being placed inside Naruto which reacted with the seal in his belly and effed up the presences that resided inside him. This will be further explained by Ajuka later on so hang on until then.
Oh and I made Naruto an anime fan for the sake of having a chance to get even closer with other characters who are into anime (lol I can just imagine Naruto arguing with one of them about which anime genres are better) Btw I might have forgotten that this fic is also a minor xover with one or two other verses that may embody other factions that exists outside the Bible Faction along with a certain other verse that shall represent the magic side of things.
EN: I swear to god I'm not a lolicon… I just find Koneko adorable is all and my sister wants her to be paired with Naruto due to the lack of that paring and she's a loli/shota con. Just don't tell her that I told all of you shhh!
P.S: Fufufu kudos to those who knows the guy who sells Naruto's ramen/his land lord. The man is well connected in the happenings around of the world, although he belongs to a different faction/fate/religion from the Biblical group meaning he does have a role in this story fufufu.
Next Chapter: The Ropes
