Story Start!
The Underworld.
Hell.
The Netherworld.
Not the place that a person would expect there to be anyone who had any amount of Purification power to their name. It was also not a place where somebody would expect a human to be, even more so a young human boy.
He was Uzumaki Naruto.
He was a rare Transmigrant, somebody who had a rare soul that crossed between worlds. It was a rather difficult thing to explain, but the best way he could say it was that he was a fraction. He was not the original, but at the same time he was a part of the original. He was a fragment of Naruto, a man who had chakra so powerful it leaked out of his own universe and into the universe of other worlds.
That chakra awakened him.
He was born in this world, he was this world's Naruto, but at the same time he awakened. He gained some of the memories, and part of the power, of the Naruto who transmigrated into his soul. His memories of the worlds were jumbled up in a way, but in a funny way that he realized what had happened to him. In this world, he was blessed with parents who were connected enough for him to abuse those connections. As he grew older, he gained more memories of himself from the other universe, memories that corresponded with his physical age.
His parents wanted him to abuse that knowledge to create a new magic system that their family could gain even more profits from.
His parents adopted him in this world.
'Funny... that I was adopted by this world's Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki... parents... more like grandparents.' Naruto thought to himself. The world that he got the memories from labelled those two people as dead, one of which was the First Hokage of that world. In this world, he was the First Chairman of the Senju Magic Institute of Medical and Nature Studies. A school that focused completely on medical magic and nature magic, and all of the students were those who had those abilities.
Why was he in the Underworld?
Because, he was here to get somebody.
"All those opposed to the Execution of the Nekoshou, Shirone, please step forward and state your reasons."
"I oppose."
"A child."
"This girl has a purification power, as a Nekoshou Youkai of a nearly extinct species, she is a very useful person." Naruto stepped forward, and while nobody realized he was human right away, it didn't take long for them to laugh at him for being young. He was close to the age of the young, white haired girl who was about to be executed.
Another man stepped forward, with red hair.
The Devil King Sirzechs Lucifer.
"That is why, I will take-"
"Since she is an endangered species, and has not commited a crime worthy of exeuction. I have sent a letter to the leader of the youkai, informing them of this girl's execution." Naruto bluffed just as Sirzechs started to talk, not even noticing the man. He looked around and he saw a couple of people stop laughing as they talked among each other. Naruto could see that his words had some effect. "Which is why, I will be taking her, unless you devils want a war with youkai over the wrongful execution of one of their own?" Naruto asked as he looked around.
More people stopped laughing.
It wasn't funny for them to laugh anymore the second that war was mentioned after all, and it was well known that the youkai were not a faction to be taken lightly. They belonged to a different pantheon completely, meaning incurring their wrath could start a war with their entire pantheon as well. A war they had no real chance of winning, so even if the words came from a child's mouth, to laugh and not take the threat of war seriously would be a bad thing for them.
The girl raised her eyes towards Naruto.
"War?" Sirzechs asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow.
"Not only that, but Kuroka never went to trial... the Devil Cat Kuroka killed her Master, but the fact was, nobody knows what her reason was. This girl is the LAST known Nekoshou, the last one, since her sister was turned into a devil. She killed her Master, but you don't know how or why... you don't even KNOW that she did it for sure. Were there any witnesses to the crime... did Kuroka kill him in self-defense? Was he planning to abuse her sister, who was not his property?" Naruto listed a few reasons.
"An innocent never runs."
"You planned to execute her sister, who committed no crimes and is for sure innocent. I'm sure that Kuroka knew that unless she ran away, she would be executed without a fair trial." Naruto argued, since he was sent here for the girl, he had to use all of his word play to ensure that he managed to get her. He saw a small light returning the the dead eyes of the girl who had been set to be executed, who was looking at him with a strange mix of emotions. "Of course, executing a known innocent for no reason..." Naruto trailed off.
"She has strong Senjutsu in her bloodline, which made her sister go made."
"Bullshit, yeah, when you use Senjutsu you can get drunk off power... but that is only when a person with no emotional control uses it. Are you telling me that a devil has never gotten drunk off their power before?" Naruto asked, since Senjutsu was misunderstood, and clearly with bad reason. It would seem the devils were spreading lies about Senjutsu to justify their own desire to kill an innocent. "Anybody can get drunk off any power... because having power is very intoxicating by nature." Naruto looked around.
This execution was being recorded.
Great.
"Young man, which house do you belong to?"
Classism.
"How about this, if you're so afraid of her... Banish her. Banish this girl from the Underworld, sell her off to pay for her sister's crimes instead. She's a rare breed, I'm sure a collector would pay handsomly for her." Naruto offered, changing the subject away from his human nature. He was just here to get the girl, not start a war.
He was bluffing.
"... and who would benefit from this arrangement?"
"All of you, no war means no devils need to die... and if you sell her, you can make her somebody else's problem. Of course... you can't sell what is not your property... so... girl... would you like to sell yourself to me?" Naruto asked as he approached the girl herself, and spoke to her directly for the first time.
"Wait, she can't sell herself!?"
"Okay, then who owns her? Who can I talk to in order to buy her, and make her my property?" Naruto asked as he looked at the man who shouted out.
Apparently, the man thought he would be able to sell her, or maybe buy her instead as the idea of owning the last of a species came to his mind. Naruto's words fell on silence, as everyone started to quietly mumble to each other.
'Who is this boy?' Sirzechs thought as he stepped back.
This was interesting.
He planned on buying the girl and giving her as a present to his younger sister, but this was an interesting development. Not only did it raise some ethical questions for his own actions, but it also did a good job of confusing everyone in the room about if the girl's older sister were actually guilty of a crime or not.
This boy was human as well, who had no right to be here.
They could kill this boy right here and now, and nobody would complain at all. The boy had balls of pure steel to be able to talk into a den of devils and bluff his ass off the way he was bluffing. Sirzechs looked towards his fellow Devil Kings, who all had noticed the same thing as him. His fellows looked just as amused as he looked.
"Sell myself?" She asked.
"Yep, you'll be my slave... I'll whip you, torture you, and hurt you all day and night-" Naruto winked at her several times, but he kept his face turned away from the recording devices. His words seemed to excite the more blood thirsty devils, who wanted the girl to be faced with harsh punishments for crimes she was innocent of. Naruto gained more support by saying that, but to the girl in front of him, she could clearly see that he was lying about hurting her. "-... and you can pay for all of your sister's supposed crimes, but on Earth... under my care."
More devils supported that, since if it happened on human territory, then they could wash their hands of the possibility of war as well.
'The nuts on this boy.' Serafall laughed into her hands as she realized the boy wasn't just dangling the truth of his identity to the devils in the room, but he was barely even trying to hide it.
"Of course, I'll also give a fair share of the payment to all of the devils here." Naruto exclaimed to the room.
Everyone else was instantly on his side.
"... I'll sell myself to you."
"Very well... you all heard that, this girl belongs to me now. You can Banish Shirone, but that is all you can do." Naruto already had everyone on his side now, simply by playing to their fear and their greed.
-Later-
"This is insane!"
"That boy tricked us!"
'Oh... this is priceless.' Sirzechs covered his mouth with one hand as he looked at all of this people complaining as they each held up a single 10 yen coin each. The boy had mentioned paying everyone in the room, and he played to their greed. He never said how much he was going to pay them, or if it would be a price that they would like. He just said a 'fair share' of the payment to everyone.
He only paid 1,000 yen for the girl after all, so splitting that much for all of the devils in the room amounted to each of them getting a 10 yen coin each.
-With Naruto-
"So, Shirone, since you're banished from the Underworld... lets change your name... hmmm... you're small... little... and a cat... The super obvious name would be Koneko." Naruto said that name that everyone would name a small cat. A cute little kitten, or their pet white cats. "... how does it feel selling yourself into slavery?" Naruto asked her.
She looked at him.
"... You risked your life for me... I accept that." She accepted being a slave.
This boy could have been killed for invading a devil meeting like he did, and interrupting their execution ceremories. She could tell he had been bluffing about starting a war, since he seemed to relieved to be out of the Underworld and back in the human world. She owed her life to him, so selling herself to him was something she would accept.
"... Well great I guess... didn't expect you to actually seem happy." Naruto had planned to free her and offer her a chance to study Senjutsu at his family school. He just wanted to tease her about her slave status before freeing her, but now he didn't know how to bring up freeing her without making his earlier joke go to waste. "So about your name... I was thinking something like Shironeko... or-"
"Koneko is fine... I'm your slave, so a simple name is fine."
"... Really... but that name is so... boring. Only a person with no creativity would name a cat girl that."
Somewhere in the Underworld, a Red Haired Girl sneezed.
"It's fine... it is the first name you thought of." The now renamed Koneko stated as she erased her smile and bowed to him. She had a lot to think about, like the fact that even if he was bluffing, he did raise several points about her sister. '... So Kuroka might be innocent. She might have killed her Master... for my sake... or for self-defense?' The renamed Koneko thought as she looked at her own new Master.
'... Great, now I own a slave...' Naruto rubbed the side of his head in thought.
"Naruto, my boy, you were successful... now there is a good boy."
An elderly man stepped forward, hunched over and with a cane, as soon as Naruto got out of the limo he and Koneko were riding in. The man had grey hair and tanned skin, but kind eyes, and he gave off the aura of a forest. Koneko looked at the man, and saw almost no family resemblence between the two.
"Gramps."
"Father... I'm not that old yet."
...
Naruto and Hashirama stared at each other in disbelief that he would say he wasn't old enough to be a grandfather, when clearly the man was in his 80s or even his 90s at this point in his life. Hashirama turned away from Naruto and looked at Koneko, before he stepped forward and grabbed her by the cheek, opening her mouth as he grabbed her jaw right after and force it open.
"... Hmmmm... a little underfed... seems like it will affect her future growth too, sad... good genetics in this girl though. Her talent for Senjutsu is top notch, and strong purification power to her." Hashirama looked in her mouth, and he looked over her tiny body as well. Red rings appeared around his eyes as he was looking at her, and he sensed the latent power in her. "... strong potential, and a powerful connection to nature. A strong affinity for Touki, but little affinity for illusions."
He grabbed her tail and spun her around.
He let go of her.
"... Train hard and study hard, since you are my son's property, I expect you to become a top notch student. So, how much did it cost us for you to buy her?" Hashirama had informed Naruto of the girl's situation and sent him to get her as a test for the boy, but he knew that devils were a greed filled bunch.
Naruto grinned.
"I tricked them... barely cost anything at all."
"... If only my daughter Tsunade were as good with money as you."
"She's your grandchild."
"I don't have grandchildren, I'm a young man after all. I only have a lot of sons and daughters." Hashirama sent Naruto a thumbs up. Koneko looked at the man in a disbelieving way, finding it hard to think that any man would try and deny his age this hard. "Get ready for hell girl, your studies into Senjutsu begins today... then my wife will coach you on your other duties."
-"Hell"-
"Now, everyone just relax in the pool." Hashirama floated on his back in the muddy water of the pool.
Koneko had expected something more... severe than just floating in a mud bath with a dozen other students who had begun their Senjutsu studies. Most of her classmates were humans, which was funny since it was harder for humans to learn senjutsu than youkai. The entire class seemed to be struggling with the point of the lesson.
This was quite relaxing.
