"So... you're... just okay... with all of this?"

Asia whispered across the dinner table to Ravel, since Naruto had not been home for a little bit while he had been out conquering the entire world. Not that he did just that, you would think he would have some more free time to spend time with her. That was apparently not the case, since he was looking over a map of the countries of the world with a red sharpie in his hand.

"Of course I am, MY future husband conquered the world. Devil, fallen angel, yokai, he could still be a human for all that mattered at this point and my parents would approve of him." Ravel didn't feel the need to whisper. She was impressed more than anyone that her thoughts on his grit and determination to complete his dreams had led to him actually using the tools at his disposal to conquer the world.

Naruto snapped his fingers and drew a red circle around Rome.

"Got it, the enemy is Nero Caludius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, the fifth Roman emperor. Interesting, and this makes things far more..." Naruto trailed off as he circled the base of operations where his enemy was.

One of Rome's most famous locations, where Nero would get an amazing boost in power and be able to maintain her form. It was one of the few appropriate and easy to protect places that would be left untouched by his conquering of the world. As one of the great strutures of the world, he wouldn't have put too much damage on it.

"... Who?" Asia asked as she tilted her head.

"Rome's fifth Emperor, who was hated by the rich and beloved by the poor. She had a populist style of rule, and put heavy taxes on the rich to pay for the things she wanted to happen with her country. The lower class loved her, and she was a tyrant who put all her enemies to death if she discovered them-"

"She... Nero was male."

"No, she is female... once I had a name, I had Caster searching the Underworld spirits for her soul, but it wasn't there. Considering she was the first Roman Emperor to bring shame to the title by killing herself after being tried in absentia, there were some Roman spirits willing to sell her out to Caster." Naruto stated as he started to write down his plans.

A grin started to work it's way over his face.

"So, you're leaving to go attack... when you just got back?" Asia asked, with a sad face.

Loss of life happened in war, and she knew better than anyone that Naruto took each life that was lost seriously. He wasn't evil at heart, and he did everything in his power to limit the scope of lives lost to the least possible number he could manage. She herself had taken a minor part in the slaying of a couple of devils in the passed, so her hands weren't 100% free of blood either.

Naruto just got back to her, and it made her sad.

"Of course I'm not leaving now, I can kill Nero at absolutely any time right now that I've discovered her weakness." Naruto stated with a grin.

Ravel seemed interested.

"Oh?"

"Servants are bound by their cause of death and their history in a way. As it stands, right now I can hold a trial with Nero not there, and the very fact I'm putting her on trial will force her to follow fate and kill herself. Unlike Jack who is a legend based in mystery, everything is known about Nero... but this is the perfect chance for me. So, I'm going to leave Nero alone for awhile." Naruto stated with a grin.

He started to load his plate with the food that Asia prepared for him.

"... That doesn't seem like you... you can kill your enemy right now, but you aren't doing it." Ravel narrowed her eyes and prepared to fight.

This man might not be Naruto.

Naruto pointed his fork at her.

"Of course, I'm going to let Nero gather all the rebels under one banner. I'll let her give hope to all those who don't believe in the freedom and peace I will grant them, hope that they can defeat me. Nero is beloved by the poor and low class for a reason, she will serve as their light of hope." Naruto stated with his grin growing more and more challenging. "Anyway, with the Greek deities dead, there is a vacancy on Mt. Olympus that other gods will target. Rome worships the Greek gods you can say, and there is a good chance that Nero's followers will stop believing in their gods the longer they realize she is a dead woman who came back to life." Naruto stated with a grin.

Nero's existence would help him weaken the gods of the other factions, and the longer he left her alone the greater the chance that the other gods would weaken more. Just the fact he revealed devils to the world dropped the power of Greek gods and no doubt other gods by 30%. It raised the power of Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels by about the same amount at the same time since now more people believed in them.

"Gather all the rebels?" Ravel repeated Naruto's words.

"I'm lost." Asia didn't understand this strategy stuff.

"The more I have my servants out there crushing rebel bases, the higher the chance innocents get involved. I'll let Nero gather herself an army of rebels, give them hope for victory, and then crush about 70% of their army and take away that hope they can win. I'll use myself as bait-"

Asia understood that.

"No! You can't use yourself as bait, that is too dangerous! Your body can't handle much more of this!" Asia stated loudly, much to Ravel's surprise. Since from what she could see Naruto seemed perfectly healthy to her. Asia moved her eyes to Naruto's right hand, which had only a slight shiver to it.

"Eh?" Ravel stated lowly.

She didn't get it.

"Ever since Naruto got back, he's been hiding how hurt he is. He can't even move his pinky or ring fingers on his right hand, and the skin on his left arm is paler." Asia was going to bring all of this up to Naruto in private, but she couldn't stay silent if he planned on putting himself in danger. The way he held his fork showed that he couldn't move two of his fingers, he wasn't standing up as well as he normally did, his balance was off, and she could see just how much pain he was in.

Naruto smiled for a second.

"Asia, I'm fine-"

Asia slapped him.

"Don't lie to me... I can't tell when you're lying or you're hurt." Asia started to nurse her sore hand. She had not hurt Naruto with that slap at all, but even without it hurting him, he still held his cheek in surprise.

She was concerned for him.

"... It's true, right now I've been reduced to around a third of how strong I normally am... maybe even less than that actually. Using my Servants all out like this has been causing a lot of stress on my body... and using them for several days straight without rest, at their full powers like this. Still, it doesn't matter how much pain I'm in, or how much I suffer... this pain is just par for the course when it comes to my goals." Naruto stood up from his chair. He took off his jacket and put it down on the table.

Half of his body was deathly pale.

He had no visible wounds, but the flesh nearly half of his torso was deathly pale in spots. The massive amount of stress that his strongest Servants going full power for days straight had taken such a strong toll on his body that he could collapse at any moment.

He was between a fifth and a third of his full power if he had to honestly judge himself at the moment.

"So... that is why you switched to Caster and Assassin, and put Saber and Lancer away... your body isn't able to handle using them at the moment. So you switched to your easiest to manage servants. You've conquered the world..." Ravel mumbled as she started to understand what Asia had noticed. Something that she and everyone else would have never seen if Naruto didn't take his jacket off.

Asia rushed to Naruto and started to try to heal him.

"You can't heal this, the wounds on my body are spiritual, not physical. I put too much stress on my spirit, and until my spirit is healed my body won't recover." Naruto stated to Asia as she put her head up against his chest.

She couldn't even heal him!?

"So, you're giving yourself time to heal before crushing Nero's army." Ravel guessed, trying to think if she knew any way to heal a wounded spirit.

She couldn't think of anything.

"No, I'm giving Nero 30 days to gather as much of an army as she can. I'm going to have Caster put pressure on where certain areas, areas that will limit the scope of where she can take control. I will let her build her army, but she will do so on my terms. I won't allow her to get help from the other gods either." Naruto stated, sure of himself. He was sure that his body would last another 30 days for sure without resting his spirit. The stress he was putting on it was nothing compared to the suffering he had inflicted on others.

It didn't matter if it felt like every cell in his body felt like it had cold fire injected into it, or how the very act of breathing made him feel like he was sucking pure hellfire into his lungs. The fact his very existence was nothing but pain and suffering right now, and the parts of his body he couldn't feel at all wasn't much comfort to him, was just the price he was going to have to pay.

People lost their loved ones because of him, so this was the pain he would bare until he could show the people who felt loss that the world he would create for them would be a free world of beauty.

"30 days... you can't hold out that long..."

"I don't have a choice, I will hold out that long. When you crush people's hope, they see things in a new light. I will crush hope that they can beat me, so that they can see the light of my ideals. I need to crush them to release them from the chains that bind them. One day, all of the people of this world will be free to chase their dreams, invent wonderful things, and see that in my eyes, they are all equal. Before that can happen, I need to show them my power." Naruto had no choice but to put himself through this suffering.

His dreams.

The dreams of all of humanity, he alone needed to bare all of the pain and show the world a path to a new, brighter light.

"Anyway, since summer break is starting, I can use those 30 days in the Underworld to further my goals there as well. For that, I'll need your help Ravel... my Bishop Ravel." Naruto offered her his hand.

He was a High-Class Devil now.

He qualified for his own peerage, and he was offering Ravel the chance to be traded to him. Ravel didn't even hesitate to grab his hand.

"You have my full support, because when you go too far, I'll be there to hold you back and remind you how stupid you are." Ravel let go of his hand and crossed her arms under her bust. "Oh... Senjutsu can be used to heal your spirit, or at least reduce how much damage you are taking."

Ravel just remembered that.

"I don't know Senjutsu, and I don't know anyone who can use it. I'll just put up with the suffering for 30 days. Anyway, as it stands 99% of the Devil population is forbidden from coming to the human realm without first undergoing the visa process. I need to go to the Underworld to see how quickly the Devil species will lose power over that." Naruto stated as he thought on that.

As it stood, he was only allowing devils that he believed he could turn to his side to be welcome on Earth. All others that he didn't believe would be turned would be denied, so while the devil species got a temporary 30% boost to their power, soon enough that boost would be gone and they would start to lose power.

He needed to see how much power would be lost over a 30 day period, so he could prepare for when the perfect time to launch his assault would be.

"You have the full backing of the Phenex, my parents and brothers are on your side. I already explained that you conquered Earth, and you would target the Underworld eventually. So long as you grant them a high standing in society, they will offer you their support in Phoenix Tears." Ravel bragged about her family turning into traitors against their own race.

They picked the winning side was all.

The boy who became a High-Class Devil within 2 months of being a devil, AND conquered the entire world before his 16th birthday, AS WELL as defeating the strongest young devil in single combat, while ALSO having access to Excalibur AND a servant will holy powers? Naruto was perfectly prepared to take down the Underworld, and her family would always side with the people they believed to be the ultimate winners.

"... Is there anything I can do... to support you? I can't even heal you when you're hurt right now." Asia asked as she showed the tears in her eyes.

Naruto frowned.

"... Just be by my side, that's all I want from you. As long as you're with me, no matter how much pain I have to endure, I will endure it." Naruto forced a grin on his face and rubbed the top of her head.

Naruto's hand was still big and warm on her head.

That alone made Asia smile.

Chapter End!
Please Leave Me Lots of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!

The funny part about Fate Servants is this.
If they were killed by cheese, like Mebd, then hitting them with cheese kills them.
Fate Servants are quite strong, but they are so strictly bound to their fates that certain things can Insta-Kill them. Their powers are greater than when they were alive because of their legends, but their weaknesses are also greater.
The only exceptions are those like Jack, who don't have known weaknesses.
