Drums of War

Hello and welcome to another chapter! After a short hiatus, I'll be getting back to updating my regular stories! I went back and revamped some stories, and also, I tried to point out many things' people never saw. Again, I hope if you've read everything so far.

As you can tell, the story takes place after the Elemental Nations. DxD is the present.

Regardless, I hope the timeline of everything is starting to come together. If you've all made it this far. I think I've decided on how I want to finalize the pairings that I have for Naruto.

Remember Outer Moka changed her name to Akasha, that of Inner and Outer Moka's mother's name. It is easier than calling them both, Inner and Outer Moka… that be weird.

Anyways, here it is.

Pairings Outside of Peerage (Most Peerage members are included here too): Rias, Kuroka, Kasumim Chisato, Akasha, Grayfia, Latia Astaroth, Asia Argento, Akeno Himejima, Koneko (Shirone) Toujou, Valerie Tepes, and Tsubaki Shinra (Check Pinterest for pictures of everyone) btw that is it, no one else, no one less. That's final.

King: Naruto

Not all Peerage members are paired with Naruto.

Queen (Mutated): Kuroka

1x Bishop (1x Mutated): Chisato Hasegawa

1x Bishop (1x Mutated): Valerie Tepes

2x Knight (2x Mutation): Satsuki Uchiha

2x Rook (x2 Mutation: Akasha and Moka Akashiya (Both own 2 rooks, they're a Quad Rook mutation)

8x Pawn (8x Mutation): Kasumi Uzumaki/Namikaze

Freddielebron chapter 8 . Aug 5: Ughhhh the dense protagonist. He's like 40 mentally. He had a lover. Yeah for some reason he can't let her go after letting her go to get his chakra point open which makes zero sense but he also has had like 25 years to acknowledge she's dead. Then there's the fact that he can sense emotions yet is still dense. This time it's confirmed he is dense and not playing dense. It's mind boggling and unrealistic.

Ah yes. The emotion sensing, mentally 30, naruto is oblivious to someone's emotions. Or acting like he is. Regardless you didn't need to try the dense anime protagonist trope

SoP: Idk if I ever heard back from this guy, but I went back and recorrected those errors. Also, Naruto can't emotion sense unless he uses Sage Mode, and he doesn't have Kurama. So, he can't do that anymore.

Estex71 chapter 8 . Aug 1: Have Kasumi, Satsuki and Rain been in this time line since time ago? because if Naruto saw Rain on a building then that means that she has already adapted to the new world, so I suppose they should have arrived some years ago as they also have spotted Naruto, or was the location given to them by Ophis? either way I like it, I am looking forward to the reunion, keep going.

SoP: Glad you like it, and no they haven't been in that timeline. If they didn't time skip with Ophis they would have died of old age. They won't come to the DxD timeline until the actual DxD arc starts.

Last Chapter

Naruto slowly shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it Tsubaki." Naruto patted her head causing her to blush. Sona simply smiled, meanwhile, Kuroka was biting down on her kimono in anger, Koneko looked at Naruto and Tsubaki's position as ecchi, and Rias looked at the two with her annoyed look. Naruto however snaked his hand around Tsubaki, much to her protests. Naruto scooped her up holding her bridal style, "I can carry you back upstairs for dinner, come on everyone!" Naruto used his head to gesture for everyone to follow him.

Akeno placed a hand over her mouth and giggled watching this scene play out. Sona smirked and said, "Well… I'm pretty sure Tsubaki is going to be sleeping well tonight."

Kuroka growled out, "How annoying! That little girl isn't going to beat me to Naruto-sama's virginity!" Kuroka ran after them leaving Akasha and Moka behind.

Akasha blushed, she was a little annoyed, but yet also happy. Akasha looked from left to right, Rias had an annoyed look on her face, Akeno was neutral, Sona was too, Koneko was as well, but then Kuroka. Moka pipped up and said, "If you're not quick Akasha, Naruto will slip through your fingers. It's only a matter of time before more catch Naruto's eyes." Moka began to walk off as she swished her hand behind her hair causing it to flail in the air.

Akeno added in as she began to sing, "Rias … ~you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout because I'm telling you why~."

Rias placed a hand over her forehead and said, "Do I even ask why?"

"Tsu-ba-ki is leaving… you-be-hind~!" Akeno sang out which made Sona simply sigh as Rias glared at her queen rather angrily. Akeno then began to trot off, "Naruto! Wait for me! I want to be carried like that too!"

This Chapter *Day Before Naruto and His Peerage Leave*

Naruto sat up in bed and let a yawn out. Naruto stretched his muscles out towards the side letting out a couple of grunts. Naruto looked down and realized there wasn't a specific Nekoshou and Crimson-haired girl in his bed. Naruto was a little confused, maybe it was tomorrow morning he would be heading out for the mission. They were meeting Queen Carmilla, specifically, she would place them where they needed for the battle.

Naruto got up from his bed and put on a white t-shirt and an orange pair of shorts. Naruto made his way toward the dining table. Naruto found all the girls sitting, plus Kiba, eating breakfast. Naruto saw that Rias and Kuroka were getting along with little to no issue. Everyone stopped and smiled in his direction, "Morning Naruto!" The girls all cheered out together.

Naruto scratched his head, "Uhhh hello?" Naruto walked over to an open seat that was next to Tsubaki and Kiba. Naruto looked to Kiba and whiskered, "Hey… what the heck is going on…" Naruto looks toward Rias and Kuroka, they were getting along swimmingly, "Those two are not fighting for once. Akeno is competing with Kuroka…"

Kiba chuckled as he had a smile appear on his face, "I think it's the fact you're going to war tomorrow, it's something we're all quite worried about."

Naruto blinked a couple of seconds, wow, who knew it would make every act so differently. Though Naruto was quite happy to see that everyone are getting along, "So, what's our gameplan for today?"

The first one to speak was Kuroka, "Well, for today I think it's best for all of us to simply relax. I think a movie, tv, and anime binge-watching is a good idea." Kuroka happily chirped out as she took a bite of her eggs. Her ears twitched in delight and her tails wagged with joy.

Tsubaki smiled and pitched in, "Today should be a day for all of us to enjoy ourselves… so… I can't wait. I suggest we watch Demon Slayer."

Akeno giggled a pitched in, "I've been meaning to watch that, I haven't started it yet. I think it's a great place to start."

Rias chirped out happily, "Yes! That sounds like a plan! I can't wait for everyone to get to meet my favorite character Ren-GCOMF!" Rias found her mouth being cupped over by Sona.

Sona shot her gaze to her friend and said, "Rias, I suggest keeping the spoilers to a minimum. Otherwise, I'd never spend the time to watch it, I specifically set aside time for this. Don't make me regret it by you giving out spoilers."

Sona removed her hand as Rias gently bonked herself on the head and stuck her tongue out, "Oopsie!"

Shirone's ears twitched as the two whitetails wiggled in the air, "Come on, let's get this party started." Shirone hopped off of her seat and trotted up to Naruto, "Let's go." Shirone tugged him from his seat.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Naruto chuckled as he quickly scarfed down the rest of his breakfast. Naruto was then dragged from his seat as everyone else followed. Naruto looked back at the table with Akasha and Moka following in toe with smiles adorning their faces.

The group made their way towards their movie room with Grayfia standing there. "Morning Naruto-Wakai-Oji, Sona-Ojou-sama, Rias-Ojou-sama, everyone. The movie room is prepped and ready for you all to watch." Grayfia then stood back up straight and moved to the side for everyone to go inside.

Naruto did nod his head towards Grayfia, "Thanks Nee-chan, I appreciate you." Naruto gave her a big grin and some of the other girls blushed to look at Naruto. Sona mentally chuckled as she watched the girls blush at Naruto's smile. Sona looked back at Grayfia as she walked in, and saw the maid turn her head to the side with a small blush on her face. Grayfia was great at putting up a façade, but alas like any other girl. They usually crumble when the boy of their interest walks away.

The group went and found seats in the theater, though their theater was a little different. Instead of regular recliners, they had triple recliners that could fit up to three people in one. What happened was when Shirone dragged Naruto to one and made him sit in the middle. Shirone took her spot on his lap, while Rias and Kuroka took either side of Naruto. Naruto wasn't too surprised by the seating arrangements, but he expected some of the other girls to speak out about it.

After each episode, Naruto was able to pick up various things. The girls did rotations with one another, each episode he sat next to different groups. A rotation with Rias and Kuroka, Tsubaki and Akasha, and Sona and Akeno. Sona wasn't a surprise since she was his sister, but he had to admit the others were.

Rather clingy, but he didn't mind it too much. They either laid their heads on his shoulder or linked their arms through his and then rested their heads on his shoulder. Though Shirone took the entire spot on his lap throughout the binge.

Good thing she usually sees him as a big brother, right?

Eventually, night befell all of them, and Naruto had to turn in for the night. He had to arrive in the underworld at 9:00 am to meet up with the Four Maous. Then at 10:00 am meet up with Queen Carmilla. So, Naruto yawned as he crawled onto his bed and laid down. Naruto closed his eyes and began to drift off, but then suddenly he found weight weighing the bed down.

Naruto didn't think about it twice and stayed motionless under the covers. Just then he felt another, the first was either Rias or Kuroka. However, another few more dips were made in the bed, Naruto lifted his head. Naruto deadpanned as he found Rias cuddled up next to him, Kuroka on his left, Tsubaki nervously crawling onto the bed, Shirone who crawled her way towards the head of the bed, and then Akasha who nervously got onto the bed. Akeno snuck underneath the sheets. Shirone, Tsubaki, and Shirone had clothing, but Akeno, Rias, and Kuroka seemingly decided to leave that behind. Naruto did have to ask, "What is going on? Why are you all getting onto the same bed?"

Rias nervously said, "Well, we won't be able to see you for a while. We all care about you Naruto… we just want to spend as much time as possible."

Naruto chuckled as he rubbed the head of Shirone, she purred and leaned into his head pat. Naruto shook his head, "Well it's quite obvious why this is all happening… otherwise, Sona wouldn't be willing to join us too." Naruto said with a deadpan expression as he gestured to the door.

Sona's face blushed as she pointed at everyone while fixing her glasses to her face, "W-What?! I-I thought we were all sleeping in sleeping bags?! Not only that! Put some clothes on you three?! How many times do I need you to keep telling you all to be decent around Onii-sama?! Tsubaki! What type of indecent outfit is that?!" From Sona's comment, our flaxen red-haired heiress blushed and looked away. The Mistress of Thunder simply giggled as she simply eyed Naruto like a piece of candy. The queen of Naruto simply purred as she snuggled deeper into his side. Sona's queen simply looked away with a blush, she was wearing a rather revealing purple nightgown.

Akeno placed her hand up to her mouth as she giggled, "Oh come on Sona, you know us by now. We all wanna spend time with Naruto-sama… not only that… are you perhaps… jealous? Are you trying to get in on some brother and sister incest?" Akeno licked her fingers and then traced her saliva-covered finger on Naruto's chest. Naruto even let out a sudden grunt, which causes Rias's, Kuroka's, Akasha's, and Tsubaki's ears to perk up hearing Naruto's sudden moan. Akeno looked at Naruto surprised, "Oh my… that was rather alluring!"

Naruto's eyes widen at Akeno's sudden advancements, "Okay Akeno! I think that's enough for now!" Naruto let a small chuckle out as Akeno stopped her advancements.

Sona screamed out even louder as pushed her glasses closer to her face, "AKENO THAT IS HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE! ONII-SAMA AND I WILL DO NO SUCH THING!" Sona glared at Rias hoping she would at least reprehend her queen for her actions.

Akeno giggled as she put her hand up to her mouth, "Ara, Ara! I'll back down for now Ufufu. The only reason I'm so forward with Naruto-sama… is because Rias has taken such a liking to him."

"AKENO!" Rias looked at her queen rather annoyed. Naruto stayed relatively quiet about the current comments. It also wasn't the time to be thinking about relationships when he was going off to war.

Akeno slowly got off of Naruto and sat on the side, "Think about it…" Akeno placed her hand on her cheek as she felt her face heat up, "A night full of passion of sex and love. Knowing that you're cheating on your wife with a mistress… I find it rather, exciting if I do say so myself."

"Pervert." Shirone said with a glare at the queen of their peerage.

Kuroka rolled her eyes, "Oh come on Shirone, don't be like that, you don't need to be so upset with our massive breasts. I'm sure Naruto-sama enjoys them whether they're small or even non-existent anyways."

*WHAM* Kuroka fell to the bed passed out. Shirone was holding a frying pan above Kuroka's head. Everyone stared at the youngest member of their group with a deadpanned expression, "Okay, I think it's time for bed everyone." Naruto called out as he let a sigh out as he laid down and pulled the covers over.

Next Day *Underworld Sitri Mansion*

Naruto appeared in the underworld with his peerage. Naruto was wearing the requested outfit for him and his peerage to wear. Naruto was wearing what many of the Anbu back in Konoha would wear. Everyone had on dark grey gloves with lighter grey forearm guards. Dark grey pants and undershirt with a light grey vest that went over their torsos. To finish it off they had on open-toed dark grey shoes.

Naruto's peerage were all in a separate room for them to prepare and wait for their meeting with the Four Satans and Naruto's parents. Kuroka did speak up as she tugged on her vest, "I have to say, you picked a rather interesting outfit for us to wear."

Naruto nodded his head as he took out porcelain animal masks that Rias's and Sona's peerage made for them, "I wanted to get something was discrete as possible, I don't know how often we're going to be in combat. So, I tried to make sure Grayfia did her best with the materials. They're resistant to fire and lighting, their durability should be better than most clothes. However, just be careful, it can't save you if you're seriously injured. Though, I hope it doesn't come to that."

"I'm sure we'll be fine; we watch each other's backs. We've grown quite a bit if I say so myself." Moka smiled confidently as she swished some of her hair behind her.

Akasha nodded her head, "Yeah, I think we'll all be just fine. We watch each other's back. Moka and I talked about this, I think it would be smart for us to break up into pairs." Akasha put her finger into the air, "I think it would be smarter to have me stay with Moka, we both fight better together. We know how one another fights best.

Kuroka nodded her head, "I think that's a great way to put it. Work with our strengths for right now." Kuroka looked at Naruto for his input.

Naruto also agreed, "Yea, we can do that. We all work well together anyways, for now, we should work with who we get along with best." Just then there was a knock on the door, Naruto turned and walked over and opened the door, "Oh, Grayfia you're here too?"

Grayfia nodded her head, "Where my master goes up until the mission, I go. The Maous, Lady, and Lord Sitri will now see you." Grayfia stepped to the side and gestured for them to begin leaving, "Let's go."

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Sitri Family Room*

Naruto, Kuroka, Moka, and Akasha arrived in the Sitri family room escorted by Grayfia. Naruto and his peerage stood in front of the three of the Four Satans and Naruto's parents. Sirzechs smiled as he waved his hand at Naruto, "Ah! Naruto looks like you've grown quite a lot. I can see how much your power has grown since then. Dare I say so myself you seem to be knocking on the level of an Ultimate with your… tools." Sirzechs said with a little bit more sincerity to Naruto's right hand.

"Yes, thanks to Ero-Tenshi." Naruto simply rolled his eyes but let a chuckle out.

Just then Mira spoke up, "Naruto…" Naruto then froze and quickly closed his mouth.

The three Satans and Naruto's father, Cronack, all chuckled at Naruto's interesting nickname for the governor of the Fallen Angels. Ajuka then smiled and said, "Alright, let's go over quickly with mission details. What will happen is a vampire representative from the Carmilla Faction will come to pick you up. You'll be given a full pass within their territory; you will listen to Queen Carmilla. As Blacklight you will assist and destroy the enemy, this mission could take up to a year."

Naruto replied, "My team and I are fully ready to commit and complete, we won't fail."

Kuroka bowed and added, "We are Naruto-sama's devoted servants, we'll protect him with our lives."

Serafall looked at Naruto's peerage proudly, they weren't large, but loyal, "Please do, but make sure you all come back alive." Serafall had a very concerned look in her eye. Naruto could see the displeasure in her eye, she wanted to coddle him, hug him, and not let go. However, her duties as a Maou made things different since she cannot favor a devil over all of the other devils. However, that doesn't mean she won't show it until after her meeting.

"Alright great, you have a few hours before you're picked up." Sirzechs gestured to the dining room, "I was told by Lord and Lady Sitri of a meal prepped for you. Please, let's go enjoy our time before you head off."

Grayfia walked forward and said, "If everyone could, please come this way, lunch has been prepared." Grayfia gestured his hand to the door which everyone began to file out.

Everyone made their way to the dining room where Naruto sat next to his mother and Serafall. Before Naruto knew it, Serafall went from Maou mode to Onee-chan mode. Serafall hugged Naruto's right arm, since she was on his right, and pulled him into a hug, "Oh Naru-tan! I can't believe you're going to do this! Please stay safe! Will you be able to live without your Onee-chan? Should I do a goodbye bath time?"

Naruto scrunched his face a bit along with having a deadpanned look on his face, "Uhhh Onee-sama I don't think that's a good idea. It's not very… appropriate, and in this current situation?"

Serafall grabbed both of his shoulders and said, "It's my mission! Operation take Naru-tan's V-Card!"

"Serafall, that's enough, and show some proper etiquette please?" Mira sighed at her daughter's antics; she never changes.

Kuroka giggled as she extended her hand into the air, "I'm pretty sure that is my job! After all, I am Naruto-sama's queen!"

Just then Grayfia was behind Kuroka as she karate chopped her on the head. *Whack* 'Itai!' Kuroka screamed out and Grayfia said, "As Naruto-sama's Queen you should be behaving appropriately. Talking about taking his chastity is inappropriate."

Naruto shook his head as he patted his sister's head, "Onee-sama I'll come back, I got the girls, and they all trained under Grayfia and so did I for a little bit. I trust them and trust Grayfia's teachings to guide everyone."

Grayfia went back to her place at the side in the dining room. When she was walking back she couldn't help but have a blush appear on her face. Though Mira looked towards her direct and caught her. Mira was rather surprised at this, but she also wasn't all that mad about it. Grayfia could fool many. Grayfia simply said, "I did as I was ordered to by Sirzechs-sama, as his queen I was tasked with the training you and your peerage. I made sure to give you the best possible quality training."

Akasha smiled and said, "I think she did a great job! After training with her, I believe in my abilities a lot more than I did before!" Akasha turned to her and gave a polite bow, "I appreciate everything she's done for me! Grayfia-sensei!"

Moka smiled as she swished her hair behind her head, "Her training was beneficial, I'm sure we'll all be fine. I think the mission should be a rather resounding success."

Sirzechs chuckled, he was glad for everyone's positivity, "I'm glad to hear that! I'm sure you've all gotten stronger." Sirzechs looked towards his queen and asked jokingly, "Grayfia, I have to admit, you seem rather close to them."

Grayfia kept up her façade and simply said, "I did as I was order Sirzechs-sama, nothing more, nothing less."

Ajuka decided to change the topic of discussion, "Naruto, I am curious how has your progress come with your sacred gear?" Everyone was quite curious about how far Naruto has come with it.

Naruto scratched his cheek and said, "Well, to put it bluntly, it was a lot of work, the sacred gear has a great deal of stress being placed on my body. Though, thanks to Azazel the training has helped me a lot. I'd like to keep my exact power level up in the air." Naruto chuckled as the other grownups simply smiled.

"Come on, enough of that, let's let my son relax for the rest of the time he has here." Mira cut in from the Maous causing them to let out a few chuckles. They decided to back down, never come in between a mother and her children.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Baths*

Naruto sat there on a stool as he sighed, "I understand it's been years since I've bathed with you Kaa-sama… but now?"

Mira giggled happily as she held the washcloth and washed Naruto's chest, "Oh come on, I've washed you from head to toe as a baby. Even Serafall has done so before, you and Sona included." Mira took a good look at her son, "You've grown so much, sweetie…" Mira stood up and walked behind Naruto, she knelt and hugged him from behind. Naruto sighed as he felt his mother make close contact with him. She, however, unlike his sister Serafall who was washing his leg, had a towel around her.

"Time does that Kaa-sama… and Nee-sama… I think you're getting a little too." Naruto saw Serafall making her way up his leg going for the towel on his hips.

"Serafall that's enough." Mira looked at her eldest child with a stern look on her face.

Serafall let out a pout, "Mou! Kaa-chan! Come on!" Mira only looked at her sternly as Serafall decided to back off, "Mou fine."

Naruto looked at his mother thankful, "Thanks Kaa-chan, so… how have things been here? Nothing too crazy going on right?"

Mira placed a finger on her lip and smiled, "So… I heard you took Rias out on a date."

…

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Serafall screamed out as she placed both her hands on Naruto's shoulders and began to shake him, "HOW COULD YOU! HOW COULD YOU CHEAT ON ME NARU-TAN! HOW COULD YOU!"

Naruto's eyes comically went white as she shook him with ferocity. *WHAM* "ITAI!" Serafall screamed out as she held her head racking with pain.

Mira was holding a.

…

Is that a frying pan?

"Enough Serafall, please… continue Naruto." Mira slowly stood up and made her way toward the bath. She dropped her towel as she sunk into the bath, Naruto turned his head to find his naked elder sister butt in the air, and face first on the ground unconscious. Naruto saw his mother motioning him to join her in the water.

Naruto made his way over to the water and sat in with her. Naruto thought back to his date with Rias, he put his arms up on the edge of the bath. Mira watched as a smile appeared on her son's face, "Well… I think it went rather well, but I think Rias still doesn't realize I've noticed her advances."

Mira simply shook her head and giggled, "Well you certainly are your father's son, he did that to me for a while." Mira placed an arm on the edge of the rub and rested her chin on her hand, "But he came around, regardless of that did you enjoy yourself?"

"I did, I have to admit that Rias chose some good quality choice of clothing." Naruto then tilted his head as a funny smile appeared on his face, "It's rather funny though, Rias gets jealous, and acting coy around her is funny. Though, I don't think she realizes I do it on purpose." Naruto let a low chuckle out and Mira simply rolled her eyes.

"Though I must ask, do you find her attractive?" Mira raised an eyebrow curiously.

*Cough* *Cough* "W-What?! Like her? I mean… she's rather corny at times. She talks way too much about anime. Rias can be too clingy at times, way too bull-headed, and stubborn as a mule. Let me see… she can be a real child at times. Impatient, spoiled, sore loser…" Naruto kept tallying off his fingers counting the number of negatives Rias has. Naruto though stopped when he saw a frying pain emerge from the water with Mira growing an agitated look on her face.

"Naruto…" Mira looked at him crossed.

Naruto waved his hand left and right, "I'm just messing around Kaa-chan!" Naruto began to laugh again as he rubbed the back of his head. Naruto lowered his hand and stopped his laughter as he simply shrugged his shoulders, "I mean… Rias is a nice girl, she's a great friend. I won't deny she is pretty, but I don't know how to feel about her. Never put too much forethought into having a relationship just yet."

Mira looked at her son, he was honest about that part, but something was bothering her. It was her motherly instincts kicking in, "I believe you…, but a warning. You're the Red Dragon Emperor, the emperors usually tend to attract a harem. Girls will become feisty over you, so a fair warning to that."

"Thanks." Naruto added as his mother scooched over next to him and pulled him into a hug.

Mira hugged Naruto tightly not wanting to let go. Naruto knew she just wanted to be near him and hold him. Naruto let her as Mira had tears running down her cheeks. Letting her son go off to war was the last thing she wanted to happen to him. He was her child after all, what parent would want their child to go through such a thing?

Soon the bathroom door opened, and Mira turned her head. Naruto did so too to find Grayfia standing there, "Naruto-sama, Lady Sitri, a representative of the Carmilla Faction has arrived. It is time."

Mira stood up, "Thank you Grayfia." Mira grabbed her towel and wrapped it around herself, "Come Naruto, it's time."

Naruto did so too as he got out of the water but deadpanned as he watched his mother throw his naked sister over her shoulder. The three walked out, and Naruto changed separately while Mira woke up Serafall. Naruto soon exited from the changing room to find Grayfia waiting for him by the door, "Come let us be on our way Naruto-sama." Grayfia gestured for him to begin walking with her. Naruto did so for a bit, the two walked in quiet until Grayfia decided to break it, "Naruto-sama." Grayfia stopped as she reached out and grabbed his hand.

Naruto stopped and turned his head and found Grayfia looking at him rather upset. Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Grayfia… is there something the matter?"

Grayfia's cheeks turned red as Naruto saw Grayfia seemingly flip personalities. Grayfia nodded her head as she got close to Naruto, specifically close to his face. Grayfia smiled and said, "Naruto… please come back safely to me. Do be careful to eat properly, sleep well, and make sure to bathe as often as you can."

Naruto noticed a few things here, including her change of personality. That's one obvious thing, but two she was blushing, like her cheeks were red. Not only that, but she was calling him, her Naruto. As if he belongs to her or something, Naruto felt his heart begin to race.

Naruto was pretty sure any guy would get like this when he saw a beautiful woman acting like this.

Naruto asked, "Of course, I'll come back, I'm not dying anytime soon ya know!" Naruto let out a chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head.

Grayfia wasn't satisfied with that answer as she placed both hands on his shoulders and gripped his shirt tightly, "No… I really mean it Naruto… war is horrible. It can take so much from you." Grayfia looked down as she felt tears rolling down her cheeks, "You… Rias-Ojou-sama… Sona-Ojou-sama and you. Please… please come back. You are one of the few things in life I've cherished."

Naruto's face relaxed and a calm smile appeared on his face. He lifted both of his fingers and poked her on the forehead. Grayfia looked up a bit surprised as a tint of pink continued to make itself seem even more prevalent, "I promise… I promise to return to you alive and well." Naruto turned to continue walking as Grayfia watched him walk off. Naruto raised his hand into the air, and said, "A true soldier fights not because he hates what's in front of him, but because he loves what's behind him."Grayfia had a blush appear on her cheeks as she placed a hand over her beating chest, and she remembered her sister's words, "War does not determine who is right, only who is left."

Grayfia whispered to herself, "You better come back." Grayfia looked towards the window and looked up and out. She remembered back to the days they were still kids. She loved them dearly, Rias like a little sister, Sona too, even Naruto. Though Naruto was always up in the air, he never acted like how a brother should have anyways. Grayfia was always begged by Rias to go visit Sona and Naruto and often found herself willing to go visit them with Rias. Hence why she got so close to Sona and Naruto.

*Sitri Living Room*

Naruto made his way into the living room to find his peerage there. Along with everyone else, Naruto though noticed someone in the room who looked oddly familiar. She is a very beautiful fair-skinned young woman with long pink hair that she has tied with a black ribbon and green eyes. She was wearing a suit during battle and usually wears a frilly black jacket on it. Naruto saw Akasha hugging her closely and Moka was nearby her mother with a smile on her face.

Naruto was able to figure out who she was pretty quickly, "You must be Akasha Bloodriver, a pleasure to meet you. Might I also presume you are the representative of the Carmilla faction?"

The mother of the two-split single vampires smiled and nodded her head, "Yes, I am, a pleasure to meet you as well. I also must thank you… you took in and took care of my… well daughters now, huh?" Akasha held her daughter Akasha as she nuzzled into her hold. Meanwhile, Moka's eyes were a little red and puffy from crying too. It was rather surprising to see Moka cry, but again, Naruto could presume that woman was their mother without even needing to ask.

Naruto walked forward and extended his hand out, "It's a pleasure to meet you as well Mrs. Bloodriver, I'm honored to have both of your daughters in my peerage. They've been excellent peerage members thus far."

Akasha shook it and smiled, "I'm glad my girls found such a wonderful King, thank you for taking them in when I couldn't."

Moka however, was curious, "Okaa-san… how did you escape… or well not die?"

Akasha smiled as she sat down and pulled Akasha, her daughter, into a tighter hold and her daughter tightened her hold, "I was lucky… very lucky after I was beaten to death. They threw my body out of the castle down into a ravine, I traveled down the river far enough to be rescued by the Carmilla faction. They took me in and nursed me back to health, since of my status… they didn't decide to imprison me. As expected, … I joined their side as a representative."

Sirzechs walked forward and placed his hands on his hips, "Well this is a nice reunion, regardless I hope their codenames and everything are already known amongst the ranks?"

Akasha nodded her head, "I have notified our leader, and our subordinates know. Only our leader Queen Carmilla and I know the exact identities of everyone here." Akasha gently broke her hug with her pink-haired daughter, "We have rooms, extra outfits, and more prepared for them. Regardless, we should be going though, we're already a little late as is." Akasha turned to Naruto and Kuroka was already next to him, "Alright then, let's get going."

Ajuka walked up to Naruto and handed him four bags, "These are backup custom outfits we had created. All have the same stealth, resistances, and other defensive capabilities."

Sirzechs chuckled and added his two cents, "Grayfia made sure to create them personally."

"Sirzechs-sama!" Grayfia glared at her King rather annoyed by his comment.

Naruto nodded his head, "Thank you, Grayfia, that means a lot that you created them." This caused her to look away and succeeded in keeping her blush down. "Everyone, we promise we won't fail."

Naruto and Kuroka made their way over to Akasha and stood next to her. Akasha and Moka alongside them. A teleportation circle appeared around them, but before they left Mira ran up to Naruto. She placed both hands on the side of Naruto's cheeks, she had tears running down her cheeks. She looked at her son with worry, "You make it back here! Do you hear me?! You come back alive mister! No butts!" Mira placed a kiss on Naruto's forehead, and she then gently let go. Grayfia even had to walk up and gently pry Mira away from Naruto.

Naruto gave everyone a grin and a thumbs up, "Don't worry, I'll make it back! I promise! I never go back on my promises!"

The magic circle began to glow brighter, Mira extended her hand out wanting to keep her son within arm's reach. However, she saw his smile through her fingers, and in turn, she lowered her hand. As tears continued to run down her cheeks, a small smile appeared on her face. She said, loud enough for everyone to hear. She says, "My boy… he's going to change the world… isn't he?" Then Naruto and his peerage along with Akasha disappeared.

*Carmilla Mansion*

Naruto and his peerage appeared in the Carmilla mansion, and it seemed to be the war room. Naruto and his peerage stood in front of whom Naruto could only infer was Queen Carmilla. She had long blonde hair, blue eyes, and large breasts. They could be compared to Rias's and Kuroka's racks. She had on a black suit with a rose in a pocket. (A/N: Since there is no description of Queen Carmilla, I am using Evangeline A.K. McDowell) as her appearance).

Naruto walked up and bowed to her along with his peerage following suit, "It's a pleasure to meet you Carmilla-dono." Kuroka, Akasha, and Moka bowed respectfully toward the queen of the vampires.

Bloodriver walked over to her queen and stood by her side. Carmilla smiled and responded with, "Please, no need to bow. Especially after saving one of my kin from our own, I can hardly have you talk like we're not on equal footing."

Naruto and his peerage raised their heads, Naruto extended his hand towards his peerage, "Carmilla, I am Naruto Sitri, heir of the Sitri Clan. A pleasure to meet you, this is my peerage. Kuroka my queen and Moka and Akasha are both my Rooks."

"Great to hear, as you all know of our situation. We're at war with the Tepes faction, I heard about your heroic rescue of Moka over here." Carmilla looked towards the two Mokas, "Though… I remember only being one."

Moka walked forward and said, "Yes, as you can see, we were both the same Mokas at one point. A rosary was forced upon me, which weakened me because I would not become breeding stock like my Tou-san wanted me to. So, they placed it on me to make me more docile and easier to control."

Akasha nodded her head, "You know the story of how I got Moka out of there, I didn't want that horrible fate to happen to her." Akasha narrowed her eyes; she was quite angry her ex-husband even tried to do that to her daughter.

"I found well… the two decided on the name for our pink-haired Moka, Akasha." Naruto chuckled as he looked at the two, "I simply saved her, as I any other devil should have. Though, was a little rough at the end. King Tepes wasn't all too thrilled."

"Regardless… we decided to join Naruto, we took up two rooks, and both mutated. We were split, we each are worth two rooks." Moka folded her arms across her chest, "He was kind enough to defend us, even though he didn't know us. I felt it was more than within reason to join him. So far, I haven't regrated it at all, not even once." Naruto was relatively happy to hear that come from Moka, she can be rather distant and cold. But she cares, she just shows it in her way.

Camilla smiles and nods her head, "Well that's great, what about the Nekoshou over here?"

Kuroka waved her hand and chirped out, "Hello there! My name is Kuroka Toujou! A pleasure to meet you, I'm Naruto's queen! Also, girlfriend!"

"No, you're not." Naruto said with a deadpan expression on his face.

"Phooey! Anyways, I've been loyal to Naruto since he found a place for me and my sister to go to! He stopped some other noble devil trying to force me and my Shirone into his peerage!" Kuroka wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck, "Then this handsome fellow saved me! He told him to shove it and leave us alone! After that! We became the best of friends! Which one day, I'll claim his chastity!"

Akasha chuckled into her hand while Carmilla simply giggled with Akasha, "A rather interesting group of members, I don't judge at all. You all seem highly capable if you were all trained by Grayfia herself. She didn't gain the moniker of the 'Strongest Queen' for nothing after all. Regardless, let's get to business since the introductions are out of the way."

Carmilla went behind her desk and grabbed some pieces of paper, "Your jobs are rather simple, when needed you'll help on the front lines. Other times you'll fight in covert operations trying to help sabotage and destroy the enemies from the inside." Carmilla pulled out some portfolios, "However, there are two important people I wanted to be located and secured. Whether they become members of your peerage or not is up to you. I want them recused plain and simple, the less they have to use against us. The better chances we have at winning."

Naruto walked up to the desk and took a look at the portfolios, "Gasper Vladi… and Valerie Tepes… Valerie the daughter of King Tepes?"

"Yes, she is, and Gasper is the son of Lord Vladi, we suspect that both are being used. We've gotten wind of them awakening sacred gears. They're using them to help the faction." Carmilla looked at the papers with worry, "They're being abused to help boost the power the Tepes Faction has, we want to save them as quickly as possible. We have numbers, we do not need them to help us win. We just need them removed from Tepes's hands, I'm sure you are procuring them would benefit you. What do you say? As a deal for helping us, not only do your names stay hidden and under wraps. Valerie and Gasper will get to choose who they want to go with. I won't force them to stay here, besides they are half vampires. They would be treated with disdain; I wouldn't want them to be the front end of that."

Moka smiled, "You care about our kind's survival… don't you? Going so far for half vampires too."

"Of course, no matter what percent of vampire you are, you are a vampire. Though not everyone feels the same, and supporters are turning sides. Many males think I'll be dominant and suppress the male vampires, but I won't do that. The Tepes faction did that to the female vampires, simply lowered them to nothing but breeding stock to continue the lineage." Carmilla narrowed her eyes, "No matter what race it is, it is disgraceful to turn any gender into nothing but breeding stock."

Naruto nodded his head, "Alright, we accept, what is your order?"

Carmilla gestured to the door, "Please, come with us, we'll show you to your quarters. We'll be going by your code names, when not in your rooms. You should always wear your outfits as well as your porcelain masks." The only thing that was possibly visible on them was their hair, and Kuroka's two black cat tails, "Good, let's head out and begin prepping, we have a lot ahead of us." Carmilla walked out with everyone else following suit.

A/N: That's it! Well… usually I go long, but I actually wanna like take a step back and think about how I want to do this. If you're wondering, yes, I intend on bringing in Valerie early. Is she gonna be a harem… maybe, but I'm capping it off at that though. Yes, I do have a replacer for Issei btw, I think he's a cool character I came up with. He's an OC and his name is Mason Eros, he's human, and his sacred gear is gonna be pretty cool. It's made up! Anyways hope you all enjoyed it! See ya next chapter! Sage of Prophecy OUT! Ja Ne!
