Disclaimer: First Chapter
Story Start!
Rias had a problem on her hands.
She used up all 8 of her Pawns.
Even though she knew that the Fallen Angels were targetting Issei, even she didn't know that the boy was going to get murdered. Yeah, of course she suspected that it was possible that he would be killed, but she didn't think it would happen so soon. She planned on slipping him a Summoning Circle, and then when he got curious and summoned her, she would give him the offer of a lifetime. This would give her time to evaluate his worth before then, and then compare his worth to Naruto's worth.
Issei was worth less than a Pawn on his own.
Issei's Sacred Gear was worth nearly 8 Pawns, which meant that his Sacred Gear had to be abnormally strong for a Sacred Gear. He himself was so weak that he would need a ton of training to make use of it.
His physical stats were below average for a human, and even being boosted by his new Devil body they were below average for a devil as well.
'... I don't even know how much Naruto is worth...' Rias thought, since she had no clue if she would even be able to transform Naruto on the off chance that he accepted her offer. She had been put in a "do or Issei die" situation when she had been summoned and found him dying on the ground. A little surprising, but something she would be able to use, but that meant that she needed to make a spur of the moment choice.
She had to do the math for Naruto.
Magical power and life force - 8+ Pawns.
2. Uzumaki inability to use magical power - Negative 8+ Pawns (Since Naruto had no magical potential, his inability to use magic actually negated the worth of his high magic power)
3. Naruto's Physical Body - Between 3 and 5 Pawns.
4. Naruto's Sacred Gear - 1 Pawn.
She actually was able to confirm that Naruto's Sacred Gear itself wasn't worth much, it was everything else about him that was worthwhile for somebody to reincarnate. The Sacred Gear was just a plus for her, and she would be able to help him learn to use it. The bigger problem was the fact that if she did her math correctly, then she had a pretty decent chance of not even being able to reincarnate Naruto with her remaining pieces.
A Bishop was worth 3 Pawns.
A Knight was worth 3 Pawns.
A Rook was worth 5 Pawns.
Naruto was worth between 4 and 6 Pawn pieces, which was a hefty cost for any person with a low-cost Sacred Gear like Naruto. The math told her that there was a chance that he couldn't be reincarnated at all, since she only had 3 pieces left in her arsenal, and the highest cost was the Rook, the only piece that had even a chance of reincarnating him. She would have been able to do it for sure if she could have stuck with her original plan and used all 8 of her Pawns on him to know for sure that she could do it.
"Mad?" Akeno asked Rias, and she shook her head.
"Issei's Sacred Gear must be extremely good for it to be worth nearly 8 Pawns by itself, but the fact that Issei himself is worth less than a Pawn means it will take a ton of work before he's got any real strength to him. I would have liked some more time to sort everything out, but no doubt she will attack again tonight." Rias was getting sick and tired of defending the school from the berserker warrior every night. It was great combat practice for her peerage of course, but they were taking less pacts at the moment, meaning it was a net loss for her peerage overall.
While they were out fighting against her, they were unable to go out and do their summoning pacts with humans. Rias had got involved with fighting last time so that Koneko could do some of her pacts, but it would seem that the monster of a fighter was very wary of her destructive magic and wouldn't let herself get hit by any of her attacks. In the end, Yuuto and Akeno did most of the heavy lifting in the fight while she herself played distraction until she was summoned by Issei.
Yuuto and Akeno were unharmed, but the fighter's main goal was destroying parts of the school, and quite a bit of the school was destroyed. Magic was able to fix a lot of things, but they were all exhausted from overusing their magic to fix the school each and every night. For 6 days now they had been forced to do battle against this unknown enemy.
She attacked every night, and vanished before the sun would rise.
"You still wish to acquire Naruto too?" Akeno questioned Rias, who took her glasses out and put them over her eyes, and she looked over a picture of Naruto that Koneko had taken for her. It was just a picture of Naruto fighting some gang members from a neighboring city who sought him out for a fight.
Rias bit her lip.
"Of course I do, it's very rare for me to beat Sona in chess. She wins most of the time, so I get the first shot at him. It would put my victory to shame if I couldn't get Naruto too... anyway, Sona wouldn't be a good fit for him. You've been spying on Naruto, what can you tell me?" Rias asked Akeno with a forced smile, since she didn't want Akeno thinking the stress of her mistake of reincarnating Issei was getting to her.
She might have fucked herself out of the superior candidate, because she couldn't allow Issei to just die, and needed to save his life like a good girl. Sona was right, making choices with her heart might have been a mistake in this situation.
She wasn't as cold or logical as Sona though, so she had to believe that reincarnating Issei would be a good choice or else she would be proving Sona's methods correct.
"He's exceedingly aware of his surroundings, and when people are following him. When he feels somebody watching him, he tries to shake them off. I'm not able to report anything about Naruto to you right now." Akeno was a stealth master, and even she was surprised by her lack of information. She didn't have Koneko's nose to follow scents, and Naruto seemed to have a sixth sense for when somebody was following him.
He had yet to locate her, but he was able to throw her off his tracks pretty quickly, so her identity as his stalker was still as of now safe.
-With Naruto-
"You remember Yuuma!?"
"Can you shut up for a second?" Naruto asked as Issei looked down at him, shouting in shock that Naruto remembered the name. Issei had made it a point to mention her a couple of days ago when he saw Naruto kill a bear, and proceeded to brag about his girlfriend. "Anyway, did you come here just to ask me that?" Naruto asked Issei with an annoyed look.
Issei scared the fish away.
That was his food!
"It's weird... nobody remembered Yuuma, and... well... I remembered I told you about her, and you were the first person to remember her name." Issei held his gut in phantom pains, since he could remember her stabbing him to death. Then everything went blurry after that, and while he could remember the color red he didn't remember much after it. He woke up like he normally would, actually he felt way better than he had in a long time.
He could see better, his body was stronger, and his stamina had improved. It was like everything about him got a good deal better than it had started out with.
"Seriously, help me fish or go away, I'm not hear to help you with your bitch troubles." Naruto stated as he forced a fishing pole into Issei's hands.
...
"So, you were right about her... she was a total bitch."
"Told you so." Naruto stated to Issei as the boy sat down next to him, and the two of them started to fish together. Issei was a lot quieter than when he shouted out in surprise, so the fish were starting to slowly return. Naruto's statement was extremely simple, but Issei was very quiet for a different reason than just being surprised by the fact that Naruto was right.
'... How am I even alive... Yuuma killed me... did that red light save me?' Issei thought to himself, since a red light had been the last thing he saw. "Women still have boobs... so I'm going to continue chasing chicks, until I get my harem." Issei informed Naruto.
Naruto shrugged.
"Women are pretty and all, but..." Naruto paused for a moment, before he went silent and didn't complete his sentence.
Issei was silent.
"But?" Issei broke his silence out of curiousity, since now that he had confirmation that Yuuma was a real girl, he could calm down a little and think about what happened to him. "Get your heart broken too huh?"
"A girl tried to get me to kill myself, and then when I didn't do it she accused me of rape. The only girl's I've ever met have been the ones who either avoid me, or they don't see Uzumaki Naruto the person. They see me as the guy they can use to get power over other people." Naruto stated, since Issei was staring at him with a look that said he wouldn't take no for an answer.
Issei winced.
"Ouch... damn that sucks." Issei had no words of comfort, that had to suck to have a crime record for something you didn't do. That was a hell of a thing to be accused of as well, and in the modern world just a woman saying anything like that could ruin a man's life, and many people used it as a weapon. It would seem he was talking to the victim of such a thing. "So, is there a type of woman you do like?" Issei asked with a grin.
"Hey Issei... look me in the eyes." Naruto turned his head and looked at Issei.
They locked eyes for a couple of seconds, and Issei didn't look away, but as Naruto stared into his eyes he nodded his head, even when Issei became confused.
"... That wasn't an answer."
"All my life, people have looked at me like I was different, and I am different. I'm not Uzumaki Naruto to people, and they look at me with cold eyes, or I can see the manipulative thoughts they have. I want to be with a girl, who looks at me with eyes that are filled with warmth... that see me." Naruto explained with a grin. "Kind of like your eyes." Naruto stated with a grin towards Issei.
Issei scooted away from Naruto.
"You ga-"
"I'm not gay idiot! Just then, the way you looked me in the eyes were honest and friendly! That is the kind of girl I want!" Naruto punched Issei in the shoulder for the unfinished question, and he got a laugh in response from Issei.
"Ow, ow... stop... I get it... but what type of girl do you like... I like them big sweater melons. You know what I'm saying." Issei reasked his question with the real question being asked this time. He didn't beat around the bush, and he gestured the size of the tits he preferred with his hands. Naruto looked at Issei with dull eyes.
"Perv."
"... Well, I mean duh... aren't all guys like us pervs?" Issei proudly asked in return, since he knew all guys had that side to them. That was an obvious fact that all people had at least a little pervertness in them, guiding their actions to some degree.
...
"Ass... I like a girl with a nice ass, and attached to good hips. I'm not talking size, I'm talking proportion and healthy. Also, no I don't mean 'healthy' as in slightly chubby in size."
"Cute or sexy?" Issei asked, since their was a difference between the two.
"... Cute more than sexy, because even the cutest girl could be sexy if she tried, and the sexiest girl can have her cute moments. It's even sexier though when a cute girl acts sexy." Naruto stated while rubbing the back of his head. He didn't mind Issei as much as he thought he would, mostly because Issei was a pretty friendly guy once you got passed the perverted junk he preferred to talk about.
Issei clapped Naruto on the back.
"Dude, I get you... I mean, I prefer sexy myself... ah shit, the time... I've got to go man. Same time tomorrow?" Issei asked with a fist extended towards Naruto. Naruto was rough, but still a lot nicer towards him than his other friends were for sure.
Naruto thought about it for a moment.
"... Not tomorrow, I'm setting up my tent somewhere else tomorrow. Got to keep on the move, I've been feeling like somebody is stalking me."
"Oh, not too far away from here is a GREAT park, with some pretty thick trees and stuff. I go there sometimes on my bike, and it's got wild animals and other things nearby." Issei made a suggestion to Naruto, and Naruto responded by bumping his fist against Issei's fist, with a grin.
"Well, thanks that actually helps me out, lets go fishing here again tomorrow, and we can cook them at my tent at the park. I'll be skipping school tomorrow anyway to move my tent." Naruto was happy with the information that there was a convenient park in the city. He could make some serious use of that, and wild animals were a lot better than just fish. He had been eating almost nothing but fish and bear for several days, and he wanted some variety in his diet.
Naruto watched Issei go, and waved him off.
Nice guy, a total pervert and pretty selfish, but a pretty nice guy deep down.
Nice to know there was at least 1 person he enjoyed in Kuoh.
Chapter End!
Please Leave Me Lots of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
Naruto's Sacred Gear is NOT ranked on the strength of his Servants.
AKA - Naruto's Sacred Gear is worth 1 Pawn because it's strength is NOT related to the Strength of his Servants, and his Servant's worth is NOT added to his own worth since they are still separate beings from Naruto. (Unlike Ddraig who lives inside Issei, Naruto's Servants exist separate from Naruto)
Also, Naruto has insane and immense magic/life force, but since he does not have Uzumaki weapons or seals, he is INCAPABLE of using that power, and thus it also does not add to his worth since he has NO potential for magic.
