Toujou Koneko.
Yuuto Kiba.
Himejima Akeno.

The Rook, Knight, and Queen of the peerage respectivelly... and honestly, Naruto wasn't too fond of any of them as they were. He could see that two of them were lying to themselves, and one of them was filled with a deep seated consuming desire for revenge. He saw those familiar looks to their eyes, and their issues were serious enough that he could tell it negativelly impacted their lives as a whole.

When the actually, natural born, devil of the group was more honest than those not born of evil, that was saying something.

"What is the point of this training?"

"You never worked on your core strength... even if being a vampire means having a body that is like a doll, not having core strength is a serious flaw... this way I can kill two birds with one stone." Naruto was sweating as he placed the back of his foot on one shadow, and the tip of his finger on another shadow. Both of the shadows were extended far off the ground, with only his foot and finger holding him at an awkward angle off the ground.

He needed to use his abs in order to keep himself balanced for as long as possible, but Gasper did not have a body built for endurance and stamina.

"Why?"

"All attacks are enhanced by a strong core that can handle recoil. The stronger your core, the better you can fight... and this way, I can practice this shadow manipulation ability." Naruto lifted the shadow at his foot up higher slowly, concentrating on his abs, before he switched his foot and finger, while holding his abs as still as possible. "My control over this magic power... it's shaky, and before I can do anything, I need to become a lot more comfortable with my new body." Naruto used his free hand and pointed a finger up.

A shadow extended from the ground, up to his finger, and he grabbed the end of the shadow, before he flipped himself. He was upside down, and he started to walk on his hands, bringing another shadow up as he walked forward, keeping himself balanced using only the palms of his hands.

"Seems like you have control?" Gasper was riding on Naruto's body as a shadow.

"No... I'm shaking too much... if I was in full control, I would be able to walk on the tips of my fingers, no shaking, much faster than this." Naruto was going slowly because he lacked proper control over the magic, and Gasper's body was not fit enough to handle the stress of the full training. It would take hard work before he had both the body, and magic, under complete control. "Flexible though."

Naruto leaned more and created a platform out of shadows that rose up to meet his foot as he started to twist himself.

"I was that flexible!?"

"Yeah... at least, you are very agile. You have a smaller body, it's lighter too... as girly as it is, it does have some combat benefits." Naruto felt the strain in his body and stopped trying to do what he was doing, before he let go of all of the shadows and flipped. He dropped to the ground, out of breath and sat down.

A water balloon.

Naruto grabbed it and lifted it up, before it started to flatten itself, the water inside of it moving. Naruto frowned in annoyance at how the magic just didn't want to burst the balloon, and create multiple spirals. Once he could complete the steps to recreate the Rasengan, he would know that he had gained a super high level of mastery over manipulating magic as an energy. He tossed the balloon and popped it.

Rasengan.

Pure chakra shape manipulation, and if he was right, since all it was, was pure energy manipulation, he would be able to recreate it with magic. Still, the control needed to perform even the first step of the Rasengan was a different level of challenge since he was just getting used to this new energy.

"So... are you done training?"

"Not even close, I'll be done when I collapse. I'm getting the control about right, but not I need to increase the speed I can control shadows... and I still have enough strength to train these soft muscles." Naruto slapped his belly a few times.

Gasper was just not built for muscles, some people just did not have that in their genes, but bad genetics or not, he would at least increase the strength of the abs that Gasper could manage. Naruto placed his arms out, and shadows rose up from the ground and he grabbed onto them. He made them connect above him, before he flipped and hooked his knees on them like a bar. He hung upside down from the bar, and placed his hands behind his head.

"You sure take training seriously."

"Ah... Rias... yep..." Naruto started to do sit ups from a hanging position, while keeping the shadows firmly in place. If he lost concentration on the shadows, he would fall and hit his head on the ground. He was going to keep going until he physically could not train his body anymore, and then when he woke up, he would do it again.

He channeled magic to his eyes.

Rias froze in time.

Naruto reached his hand out while working out, and shadows extended and untied Rias shoes, before he put his hand back behind his head.

"Mean."

"Yep..." Naruto felt strain in his eyes, before time resumed on Rias, and she didn't even notice that he shoes were untied. "Wo... woah... light headed..." Naruto dropped to the ground, but Rias managed to catch him.

"Maybe you should drink some blood."

"Oh right... vampire." Naruto was still confused by how the vampire and devil thing worked out, since you would think the vampire biology would no longer apply. Still, it would seem that when you were turned into a devil, it didn't actually change your genetics all the way. Whatever you were, you were still that, but now you add 'devil' into the mix. So if you were a human, you still have basic human biology, but enhanced by devil biology.

It was like being a mix breed.

"Blood drinking is gross though, I hate it!" Gasper complained.

"Gasper, YOU are a shadow, you don't have to drink it anymore." Naruto reminded Gasper as he got out of Rias' arms. He sensed Gasper was VERY happy with those words, while Naruto looked at Rias. "... He is right, it IS kind of gross... but I wonder if it will taste good now that I'm not human." Naruto was both grossed out and curious about if he would like blood with his new taste buds. He subconsciously touched his left cheek.

He remember how weird it felt to have his blood licked from a wound before, and even some humans liked the taste of blood.

"You can drink mine."

"No thanks, even if I was interested, I think it would be really inappropriate to drink your blood, when I'm at face level with your boobs." Naruto wouldn't even be able to properly bite her neck while she was standing. The most he would be able to do would be to bite her boobs or her arm, and suck her blood out of that. It would be awkward, and she was a young woman, so he didn't want to put any bite marks on her.

Also, being face level with boobs was just about the only direct benefit of Gasper being a shortie. Thankfully, Naruto had experience in combat with a body even shorter than Gasper, since he had originally started his own training when he had been smaller.

"I don't think it would be that inappropriate."

"I do, and as the one sucking blood, I have the option... anyway, I'll avoid drinking blood until I can control these powers a bit better." Naruto started to get back to training. Rias smiled and sat down, helping herself to a show. He glanced at her, and she just pleasantly waved to him, showing that she had no intention of missing out. "... okay then."

Her watching made it awkward.

He just felt awkward with a pretty girl watching him train in his new body.

"Would you like some training in hand to hand."

"Sure, sounds good... I would be happy to teach you a lesson." Naruto found that much less awkward, and Rias stood back up and dusted herself off. He looked at her, and she clearly was not a hand to hand fighter with her body. She was sexy, but her body was less toned from hard muscle, and more just naturally sexy.

Rias giggled.

"I think you would be surprised, I have quite a bit of basic training under my belt. I might be a wizard type, but I keep myself in shape, and I'm quite a bit bigger than you." Rias took up a basic stance.

Naruto sighed when he saw it.

"... Yeah sure..." Naruto reacted when Rias threw a sly sucker punch, and he grabbed her wrist, twisted her arm and then grasped the front of her top.

Rias found herself upside down.

Then on her back.

"... What?" Rias muttered as she looked up at the sky in surprise, not in any pain. She looked towards Naruto and just saw that his arms were extended, showing that he had flipped her onto her back. She leaned up and looked at him, before she scrambled to her feet and dusted herself off, blushing at how quickly she ended up eating her own words. 'Right... on the outside, he might be a cute boy, but on the inside he is experienced.' Rias saw Naruto drop to the ground and start to do push ups.

There was a silence as she slowly put up her hands to fight, only to drop them when he ignored her desire to spar.

'Basic form... basic weakness.'

"Was that Judo?"

"No, THAT was the basics. Also, don't show off your starting stance so freely, an experienced opponent can guess how you fight if they see your stance... take a stance that doesn't reveal how you fight." Naruto explained to her. He did a few more push ups, before he saw that she lowered her hands. She blushed, since she didn't expect to have been flipped so easily.

She talked big, then got put down.

"So... where did you get all of your experience from?"

"I was a super powered ninja dictator who ruled over a military nation, and united an entire world under my beliefs. I started training when I was 4 years old, joined the military at 12, stopped a war at 17 and defeated a goddess, became an academy teacher at 19, and when I was in my late 20s, became the nations leader." Naruto explained where he got his experience in an extremely shortened version of the story. It was no mistake to say that most of his life was battle experience and training for battle.

Naruto made a face.

"... Super powered ninja dictator... child soldier... what?" Rias was confused as she sat down and stared at her bishop.

Naruto placed his palms against the ground firmly and rose up as shadows moved under him. Rias was visibly confused.

"I mean, I wasn't the ONLY child soldier, everyone was kind of expected to enlist. Well, each year only about 6 people actually graduate from the academy and join the force. My year was special in how we have 9 people pass... and later on, the tests to pass got easier." Naruto had made sure of that himself. As technology was mixed into the shinobi world, things just got so much easier for everyone, and young ninja didn't need to be as strong to survive.

"So you know secret training-"

"Nope, can't share any secrets, you guys lack the crucial element needed for shinobi training from where I come from... and now I lack that quality too." Naruto stated, since he no longer had chakra, and none of the people here had the same type of chakra from his world. That meant that other than martial arts styles, there really wasn't much that he could pass onto anyone in this world, as if he wanted to pass it on anyway.

Rias had the cuteness to pout at him.

"You know, I expected you to be goofier."

"I'm a pretty goofy guy when I'm not training, but it is pretty important for me to get my body under control. I also need to see if my special life force will have any effect on this vampire and devil biology..." Naruto flipped to his feet.

He opened his mouth and bit his hand.

The wound healed within moments as shadows came out of the wound itself, and Naruto could sense that the fusion between his life force and Gasper's body had created a super charged healing power, maybe even more enhanced with the devil biology enhancement. The vampire ability to become shadows, fused with strong Uzumaki life force, enhanced by devil biology, meant that it would seem he had a healing ability most likely on par or stronger than what he had previously.

He had no plans to test it out to see how far it went.

"Maybe you should train with Yuuto or Koneko."

"No thanks, I don't really like people who lie to themselves, or people who are obsessed with revenge." Naruto rejected the offer from Rias. Rias was stunned for a moment at the objective refusal.

"So they told you."

"Nope, you can see it in their eyes. Koneko has sad eyes, she buries her emotions, and hides who she really is. She is afraid of herself, don't know WHY, and don't care. Yuuto has a heart filled with darkness and revenge... so I'm not going to approach either of them until they come talk to me first." Naruto would not engage with either of them.

Why?

He had NO IDEA what he would say to any of them, because he had trouble talking to people who lied to themselves. He felt super awkward around them, because every part of him wanted to call them out on their shit, but since he didn't know what was wrong with the peerage, he couldn't call them out on anything.

"I think you should get along with them." Rias pushed forward.

She wanted her entire peerage to get along.

"Mmmm."

"How about Akeno then?"

"No... I can kind of tell what is wrong with her, and it stems from Daddy issues... and that would end badly... you can see the Daddy issues in her eyes. I don't want her to fall in love with me for being a good male figure in her life." Naruto deadpanned, since he couldn't see that ending in any way other than her developing feelings for him. Girls with daddy issues would typically latch onto a guy that she could push her daddy issues onto, and if she became attached ot attracted to him, those feelings would manifest into romantic feelings.

Yet, those romantic feelings would not be healthy either, because she would put him on a stage higher than herself to look up to, instead of an equal partnership. It would become a form of emotional and romantic reliance.

"So..."

"When I was alive... my daughter had black hair, and when she grew up, she inherited her mother's big boobs... Akeno had a similar aura of calm devotion as my previous wife and I can sense that she has the same... violent streak as my daughter... it would be SUPER awkward for me if I got involved with her." Naruto continued, since he could not imagine getting to know Akeno without wanting to spoil her rotten, and her not developing romantic feelings for him. "My wife was a rather traditional woman, and my daughter... she inheritted a lot from me... including my temper." Naruto gave a chuckle.

Rias leaned forward in interest.

"What was it like... being married?"

"It was like being complete... finding the person who makes you feel like a complete person, through good times and bad." Naruto could see Rias sigh with a conflicted smile that had both happiness and sadness.

He didn't ask.

Option 1: She was being forced into a loveless marraige.
Option 2: A boy she was in love with dumped her.
Option 3: She was a hopeless romantic.

It was one of those options if he were to guess.
