"This is all?"
"This is all." Naruto clapped his hands together and finished his prayer for Jiraiya, having buried his master in a grave that he himself decorated. He wasn't done mourning his loss, but with help he was back in stable emotional condition.
He wasn't in any good condition honestly.
He lost not just a man important to him, but he lost his dreams, his friends, he lost so much that he might never get back. He would grow old and die one day before he his friends ever had the chance to even know he was gone. He didn't really have much to do anymore, he didn't have a dream that he wanted to strive for, and no real goals in his life to lean on to keep him floating above water.
He was depressed, but at the same time he felt nothing as well.
He didn't have the desire to end his own life, he had people who would miss him for sure. There was Rias, and Akeno, and Asia... maybe Ophis. He had a few people who would miss him, and a person who might miss him.
Would Akeno miss him?
"I pray that God gives him- EEEEP!?"
Asia felt a bolt of lighting strike her brain directly when she prayed to God, and Naruto sent her a look that showed confusion for a brief moment. Asia blushed and rubbed the top of her head cutely, before she pouted.
"Right... I joined Rias' peerage... her brother asked me..." Asia quickly covered her mouth when she realized she had almost said something that she was not suppose to say.
She made a deal with LITERALLY a devil.
It was for Naruto's sake, but she had made a deal with Sirzechs in order to help Naruto out, and the price that he asked of her was just that she join his sister's peerage, and that she not tell Naruto about the deal or why she had become a devil. It was extremely important for her to never tell Naruto the truth, or else he would feel bad about him being the reason that she had gone against her beliefs.
"Now Asia, just remember, this deal will be our little secret. Don't go telling anyone about it, most importantly, don't tell Naruto about the deal."
She was going to do this for her savior, she would sacrifice for him even if she wasn't allowed to ever tell him what she had asked for.
-With Sirzechs-
"Gone... it's just... gone... it never went to Heaven, and it didn't go to Hell... and it doesn't seem to be in Limbo either... technically I can keep my deal to Asia, but this is just... strange." Sirzechs looked at all of the recently departed energies to try and track down which direction Jiraiya had passed on to. Yet the man's soul and chakra just seemed to poof, be gone like it had never even existed to begin with.
Poof, gone.
It was like death had banished his soul to somewhere that they couldn't reach, because Asia had asked him to give a copy of Jiraiya's notebook to Naruto. Originally, he wanted to reincarnate Jiraiya into a devil, but that was impossible.
There was no soul.
Jiraiya's soul could not be returned to his body if his soul was just nowhere to be called back from. Souls usually just instantly went to where they were suppose to go, and Jiraiya's soul just vanished without a trace. Not even an Evil Piece could call back a soul that was just gone from everywhere, if they could even be used to bring back a person with DNA that existed outside of the spectrum of what the Evil Pieces were designed to be used for. He would have enjoyed being able to enjoy talking with the man himself, and he would have been a powerful Non-Sacred Gear user to add to his own peerage.
"Poof... gone?" Zeoticus asked as he looked at his son.
"Poof... gone."
"The guardian of the boy with that immeasurable power... that raw hatred and evilness?" Zeoticus asked with a glint in his eye, a greedy glint befitting of his species. Everyone had felt those raw ripples of pure power that had radiated across the human realm. It had been a power that had sent many souls to Hell after all, it was hard to not notice a massive power like that, one that caused weak beings to faint or kill themselves from fear.
Most humans who were too weak to withstand it fainted.
People strong enough to withstand the evil, but not mentally strong enough to handle it, killed themselves and ended up in their charge.
"Yes?"
"The boy who is... going to turn 15 in several months... the boy who, as I seem to read, is extremely powerful, and can summon an army of 1,000 highly trained warriors whenever he wants... and seems to be quite the hard worker?" Zeoticus was smiling an even greedier smile as he looked at everything.
Pure Blooded Devil Grandchildren.
He wanted them, his desire for pure blooded devil grandchildren was his biggest motivator for why he had pushed his daughter into a engagement. He already had a pure blooded grandchild in the form of Sirzechs' son, and possible future children from him and his wife, but he wanted more. He was greedy, and Lord Phenex was the same. The two of them both had pure blooded grandchildren, but they wanted more family. They wanted to extend their families and gain more from each other.
"Yes?"
"Okay, hear me out."
"I don't quite like where this is going."
"Imagine a Devil who wields both Magic and this Chakra power... AND can fuse the Power of Destruction with Chakra..." Zeoticus started out as started to interlock his fingers together to show the pieces coming together. He started with his pinkies, and kept going from there. "... and now imagine this devil had absurd freakish reserves... and has access to the ability to... clone themselves..." More finger kept interlocking as he spoke.
Sirzechs looked at his father with a raised eyebrow.
"Seems quite scary, seems like you're talking about the birth of the strongest devil."
"Now imagine that Devil can turn into 1,000 of himself... and maybe it's a she... maybe she inherits whisker marks and looks super cute... and she's a super powerful grandchild who I can gift super cute clothes, and pamper." Zeoticus was starting to explain in more grandfatherly detail where he wanted to go with this.
Yes, the child seemed like it would be a very cute child who could be pampered quite well.
"Yes."
"Rias is quite intelligent and strong, and this boy can't be measured... now, lets just say for a moment... just a moment... they had a child who inheritted all of their best qualities... and as a Half-Devil is resistant to Light element. Imagine it for just a second." Zeoticus was seeing Sirzechs' face start to come to even more realizations than just that Zeoticus wanted a super cute and super powerful grandchild.
He wanted a grandchild that was a Grand Child, a Balance Breaker in the form of a physical person who existed outside of the realm of calculations. A devil who was a one person army, capable of completely destroying anything and everything that so much as decided to make an enemy out of their species.
"Father, that's dangerous-"
"Now imagine all the Nun and Angel cosplay ideas I can do for that grandbaby without having to worry about them getting hurt." Zeoticus went in a direction that Sirzechs had not expected. He had expected a war weapon suggestion, but instead he was getting this.
Bragging rights.
Zeoticus wanted a grandchild that was so powerful that he could look at all of the other grandfathers of their species, and proudly point out that his grandchild was better than everyone else's grandchild. His desires didn't stem from a desire to make their race the dominant race at all, which was comforting.
"Yes, I agree, it would be nice to brag about how my niece or nephew is pretty rad." Sirzechs could not go on with this topic now that it had left war territory, and went into a territory that would be so fitting.
"Oh, I'm seeing it now. The Ultrasounds, her belly getting big, seeing Rias become a mommy and hold my second grandchild... seeing her go from my little girl to my adult woman. The wedding, think of the wedding to, we can go BIG, and we can make it themed... and I can take so many pictures, and one day when my grandchild is big enough, I can embarass Rias by telling her child so many stories about their mommy." Zeoticus was already plotting all of the things that he could do to humiliate Rias in front of her own child.
Just as any good grandparent would do.
"I'm listening."
"Okay... so let's tell Rias that she can break her Engagment if..."
Oh.
Sirzechs loved this plan already.
