Chapter 2: Unrest Within the House of Hyoudou

Summary: Issei is confronted by a very special pair of guests after consummating the 'wedding' with the girls of the ORC as well as quite a few members of the so-called 'Kazama Family' who arrived from his hometown of Kawakami to check up on him, which leads to quite a few embarrassing secrets being revealed. Meanwhile, a certain jaded Kyuubi Jinchuriki turned jaded mercenary has a long-delayed conversation with a childhood friend, with a shocking truth coming to light.

To Guest 1: Naruto will have a romantic partner, but it won't be any of the main DxD girls or the more well-known members of their Gremory, Sriti, and Phenix heiress peerages. Nor will he have a girl from Naruto either. He won't be getting any MLIFS either, sorry for you guys who like that sort of thing

To manners: Thanks for the review, and I hope you're doing well. Since this is an alternate universe where the events of Naruto's canon did not happen due to him being taken from Konoha as a very young child, this version of Naruto does not have the powers and abilities he gained at the end of the Fourth Shinobi War. In fact, he barely knows what a shinobi is, and is more concerned with survival and trying to stop the plans of his nemesis Haytani, than dealing with anything concerning his past.

I'm not even sure if the whole Madara/Asura and Hashirama/Indra reincarnation sub-plot will come into play here, since I intend to focus on Kuoh and the rest of Japan instead of Konoha and the Shinobi Villages. Our favorite knucklehead already has more than enough power to handle his enemies due to the Ikari siblings' status as super-powered designer babies for NERV.

And as for Shinji/NarutoxYasaka, see the previous response. You are aware Yasaka is hundreds and/or thousands of years old and is heavily implied to be Issei's mother or at least, a distant ancestor? Raising Yasaka and fretting over Issei is problematic already, why would she add to her stress by courting a psychotic mutant with the power of a demigod?

With that out of the way, let our tale continue!

[Residential District, Kuoh]

"Seriously, Kaito-kun? I know that you're her current wielder and all, but couldn't you be a bit more discreet with your love life?" The aforementioned Red Dragon Emperor chuckled sheepishly as he ran a rough hand through his hair. "Although based on what I'm seeing, the Gremory girls as well as the stuck-up Sriti seemed to have enjoyed themselves quite a bit last night," The second part was whispered in a tone that would be nearly inaudible to a normal human, yet the semi-awake "Hanekawa" and Asia blushed and curled up tighter on the gigantic bed that now occupied the center of the room at the mention of their names.

A good distance away from the ongoing chat, a certain fanatically loyal bishonen allowed a small smile to come on his face before he turned away from his current task of surveillance and slowly made his way down the grand staircase for breakfast. It seemed that God had truly been on his side these past few months.

His mistress might have been a master of the ballroom game and the subsequent cues and social norms that came with such things, but the toll taken from having that walking disgrace to the House of Phenix and the concept of nobility and aristocracy in general as her future husband, was taking a toll on her already fragile mind. If that [admittedly sexy when she could be] air-headed fool of a wretched crow hadn't been enraptured by the self-proclaimed 'harem king' and subsequently botched her mission as a result, Lady Rias might have been a resident of a mental asylum or worse, resting in the arms of Hades.

The rather reclusive friend of the Twin Terrors of the Perverted Duo was quite hesitant about his new status as a member of the Gremory family at first, and the guilt and stress the boy had in his life threatened to ruin the newfound happiness Yuto's mistress had gained after getting closer to her favorite student. But these fears and worries faded with time, as Hyoudou slowly opened up and showed his true self to his co-workers in the peerage.

Lady Rias seemed a lot happier as well, as she slowly became less eccentric and began to return to the kind person she was before all of this madness started. Even that sadist Akeno had changed for the better, although she still tended to get rather wet during battle. "Koneko" was still the same stoic, silent eccentric she'd been since she became part of the family, but the blonde young man had observed her lighting up quite a bit around others and even growing a bit of empathy, something that was quite unprecedented.

It was as if the blunt but often reserved young man who hid his pain and self-loathing by posing as a pervert had been sent by God himself to rescue this messed up family and by extension the overachieving, blindly idealistic Sriti heir from themselves.

And the former test subject of the Holy Sword Project would not waste this new chance given to him by the Almighty. A few well-placed but seemingly chance comments, moving a few pieces around on the board, and his beloved mistress and the Red Dragon Emperor were now essentially joined together in holy matrimony.

Quite the irony, considering what his mistress and Miss Sayaka were and the price each member of the team had paid to get to their current position. Now all that was needed was to get the official blessing of Mistress Rias' parents and hope he wasn't reduced to a splat on the floor by the Queen of Night [1] when she inevitably found out, and things would be all well and good.

Ah, God was in his heaven and all was right with the world.

While the blonde pretty boy was busy comforting himself with the fact that the Big Kahuna had chosen to give his honored mistress a quite big break from all the troubles and strife she had encountered for most of her life, things were not so rosy a few rooms away from both him and the chatting lovers he had discreetly spying on.

As the young man known as "The Prince of Seikodan Academy' briskly walked down the wide stairs, any guilt about his actions long replaced with bliss about the prospects his match-endeavoring would produce, a rather plain white door with the nameplate "Sagiri" creaked open just a few meters from where the blond had been standing and a small pair of delicate, pink slipper clad feet stepped out.

" [loud yawn] Whew, making sure all those orders came on time and ensuring that my fans are kept happy and willing to continue giving me their support can be just as stressful as a full-time job. I know that onii-chan is a good person and he wants to help out by contributing as much as he can to the upkeep of the house, but I'm sure a measly job at some convenience store in the middle of nowhere won't be sufficient to keep us out of the ever caring hands of the State, much less maintain that otaku habit of his.

Thankfully I have an active social life at school and that weird stick I found the other day seems to be quite useful in boosting the stamina and endurance of the user, even though it has quite the annoying habit of spouting the most amusing nonsense at times." A loud shout of "I'm not just a mere object!" echoed across the hallway at that comment. [2] "Whoever created such a strange device must either be a once-in-a-lifetime genius or an eccentric lunatic with way too much time and money on his hands.,"

Plod, plod, the soft sounds of fur hitting wood whispered across the hallway as the petite form of a young girl hitting her early teens could be seen slouching towards the direction of a certain Hyoudou's room. Her normally well-kept long silver-white hair was now messy and frazzled, but that didn't detract from her otherwise ethereal beauty.

Dull crimson eyes stared aimlessly ahead as the reclusive child slowly made her way towards her brother's room, only to lighten up and widen in surprise when she saw who exactly was at the door and the state of dress her beloved brother was in.

"Did onii-chan…..get himself a girlfriend?"

Needless to say, the visitor wasn't pleased with this rather unexpected turn of events.

Half an hour later….

[Dining Room]

[Hyoudou Family Mansion]

The future Queen of the House of Gremory allowed a tired sigh to pass through her lips as she watched this strange silver-haired child who seemed to be quite the NEET despite her young age, chew slowly on a piece of bread while eying her and the daughters of Adramelech with a haunting glare that no child her age should have. Well, at least this strange out-of-place noblewoman to be had manners and class, which in the scarlet-haired seductress' eyes was always a plus.

Beside her, the Gremory heiress' first true friend and loyal confidante, the usually calm and composed black sheep of the Himejima line of shrine maidens, sipped a steaming cup of tea with a haughty look on her face. On the other side her ever-loyal knight, the normally sharp and ever-ready Kiba, seemed quite happy today, as he munched on a piece of bread while muttering a hymn in Russian.

She would have loved to have her precious Issei between her breasts like the day before, but unfortunately, the young man was seated on the other side of the expansive table and seemed to be chatting up a storm with the two perverted idiots whom he used to hang around before he met her. Surprisingly the bald jock and the lecherous geek had toned down their perverted behavior quite a bit while around Lady Gremory and her servants, and their stumbling into her, while they were searching for the rest of their friends, had given her the indication that something was wrong when she was searching for her peerage.

Don't be mistaken, they were indeed very perverted and rather proud of that shameful fact, but they had been rather helpful when questioned about the true purpose of their 'sick leave' and had significantly slowed her and Tsubaki's search time, by revealing that the girl they [and by extension Issei] knew Miyako had called them to an abandoned industrial complex outside of town where Issei was supposedly being held at ransom by what the eccentric teacher now knew to be a rouge element of the Company, only known as the Foundation, stating that their friend and love interest for the female members of the Kazama Family was not in any immediate danger, but that he'd need as much support from them as possible.

She was at first skeptical at this, after all these guys were part of the Perverted Trio of Tenby Academy that along with Aika Kiryu terrorized the female population of the school and were, in general, a nuisance to deal with. How could such foolish idiots be of use to anybody in any combat situation, much less a supernatural fight where you had to deal with things such as spells and the other extraordinary abilities of your opponent was beyond her understanding and she foolishly laughed it off as them having played one too many visual novels.

But she decided to take the risk and entertain her bored mind anyway, and after a quick ride in her Mercedes to a safe location quite a good distance from the thick of battle, the unlikely trio hiked their way to where the GPS app on Matsuda's phone said the rest of the 'gang' were.

And sure enough, there was the majority of her peerage, fighting off what appeared to be a rather urbanized corruption of both your standard mercenary and your average bottom-of-the-barrel cultivator, with the reluctant help of Issei's other friends who seemed to be quite powerful in her own right.

Of course, there was the naïve brat she now knew was Sengoku "Konoha" Nadeko cowering in the corner with a huge blush on her face, but neither the Gremory heiress nor the two perverts cared about that.

The vast majority of the rouge CIA assets had been taken down by the time they arrived, but there were still quite a few powerful agents that were giving the Kamakura arrivals a rather hard time. Though Rias found it quite surprising that Valerie knew how to fight, much less interact with others apart from her, Akeno and Kiba.

Rias had of course decimated the remaining Agency operatives with her Power of Destruction, and given her peerage a sharp tongue lashing for their reckless action when they had finished cleaning up the aftermath.

Surprisingly Matsuda and Motohama took this rude introduction to the supernatural rather well, passing off Kiba's Sword Birth and Akeno's thunder magic as some weird new martial art that was only used by the European aristocracy. They'd gotten in quite a few blows themselves during the fight, laying the weaker mercs sent in as backup flat with coordinated strikes and helping "Gasper" pin down and finish off the illusion user that had been bothering her for quite some time with a nicely timed distraction. [3]

Needless to say, the brown-haired boy who both groups of girls had fallen for had a lot of explaining to do when he sleepily opened the door to the mansion that night.

It had taken quite a while for the two groups to get used to each other, and there were still some instances of mutual distrust caused by the naturally suspicious nature under which they had met, but the soon-to-be Queen of the Gremory thought she could get along with Issei's Bizzare clique of friends just fine.

[Although the eccentric teacher still felt quite uneasy around the girl who now claimed she was Ayanami Rei…..as friendly as the girl could be at times there was a madness that lingered in those ruby red eyes]

The little girls who claimed to be his younger sisters on the other hand…..the redheaded MLIF had no idea whether she should clap herself on the back for having yet another of her hunches proven correct, or hide in a corner and weep silently.

Nade-chan….or should she say 'Konoha' since that was the nickname Shiina and the other members of the Kazama Family had given to her ever since Matsuda had noticed her peeping on one of their meetings and confronted her about it back in Kawakami was, how was the best way to say it, kind of alright, for the most part. The stuttering and stalkerish tendencies were a definite no, no in Rias' book but the brunette Amagi heiress seemed to have lightened up considerably, most likely because she could now express her deep affection for her beloved brother.

The sheltered and naïve child also had a very close friendship with the rather mysterious character Rias' peerage and the Kazama Family had mistaken for their best bro/special love interest during that fight with the Foundation's agents, putting up a vigorous defense of the Third Child when Rias had continued grilling Miyako/Rei about her connection to the strange creature after breakfast had been served.

"THERE'S NO WAY JIN-SAN WOULD EVER DO SUCH A THING!" the Amagi heiress had bellowed upon hearing Rias' subtle query into the origins of the "Cursed Children" as the unfortunate victims of NERV's machinations were now known as and whether or not this had to do with the subsequent massacre at what was supposed to be the anniversary ball for the Amagi Zaibatsu a few years after the 'fall of Ikari'. "Kanzaki-kun might be a selfish and delusional idiot at times, and I'm sure he's killed quite a large amount of people but what happened after my stepdad's conference was hijacked wasn't his fault! It was that snake bastard and his gang of thugs, who stormed the party and caused Papa to be killed!"

The room was silent as a grave after this, even the normally chatty lecherous duo had ceased their gossip to stare at the normally young girl with open mouths.

Miyako shook her head as if she was under immense stress, muttering "poor child" and "If only you knew" under her breaths while keeping those dull red eyes of hers firmly focused on the stunned Gremory heiress.

The conversation eventually yielded one key piece of information the seductive redhead desperately needed: names, dates, and best of all, connections.

Though she'd question the braid-wearing middle schooler a bit more thoroughly on her claimed heritage as the next leader of the Amagi Corporation and her relationship to the mysterious character the Gremory heiress had dubbed 'Nathan Wavewind', Rias had gotten almost all the information she needed for now and was content with formulating a strategy to deal with this unknown threat to her domain.

Nobody entered her territory unannounced and without good reason, and got away with it!

The fraternal twins, on the other hand, were spunky and quite the talkers at times but there was an air of martial discipline about them that seemed quite paramilitary to Rias. They moved and acted like special forces operatives on a deep cover mission in the civilian territory and the scarlet-haired young woman could have sworn she saw the older of the two, Kallen if she remembered correctly using a form of CQC only taught to the most elite CIA agents to take down a Foundation minion during the battle at the abandoned factory.

Although their devotion to her beloved husband was concerning, they seemed to be quite nonchalant about the whole supernatural issue, and only seemed to be concerned with the fact that their brother had gotten lax during his enrollment at Tenby Academy. He'd been their little gang's strategist and chief-trouble shooter back in the countryside. Well, that explained a lot of things concerning the brown-haired young man's growth exponential growth as a Reincarnated Piece.

The white shut-in that was glaring at her and the other women in Issei's harem….now here was a cause for concern. In the mere half hour that Rias had seen and observed this strange child, she had actively tried to avoid human contact and was sneaking glances at the brown-haired youth while trying (and failing) to conceal the large spout of the hue of Rias' long hair on her currently puffed up cheeks.

Something about this child and the twin sisters who seemed to act as love-struck bodyguards reminded her faintly, of the old tale about the legendary Shiranui shinobi clan, the Matou sub-branch of the House of Sriti and two well-respected noble families from what was now known as Germany discovering a mysterious artifact while on vacation in France and ending up destroying themselves because of its power. [4]

The busty seductress rubbed her head and quickly fished out a few pills from a special seal she always kept around, gulping them down with her hot cup of mocha coffee. Decisions, decisions. There was a lot on her plate, and she couldn't afford to be messing around.

Meanwhile in the Land of Freedom and Opportunity...

[President's Desk]

[Oval Office, White House]

[Washington, DC]

"Are you sure that you haven't gone completely out of your fucking mind?"

The question stunned the CIA director out of his near-catatonic state and he quickly shook himself upright, facing the man who was supposed to be his employer with boldness he didn't know he had. "No sir, neither I nor the fine folks at the NSA have suffered any form of mental breakdown. It seems like the threat of catastrophic climate change and global terrorism aren't the only problems the USA has to face in this chaotic new millennium,"

The other defense and intelligence chiefs looked at him as if he had grown a second head, but he ignored them and pressed a button on the remote he had been holding ever since he entered this room. "I assume everyone here knows about how certain elements in our nation exploited the ignorance and goodwill of the more charitable-minded among our population and caused us and Japan to come to blows militarily in 1933 when we put blind idealism and the honeyed words of a communist dictator backed by Moscow over common sense and realism in the Pacific, economically with the trade war from the 1970s until 1991, when that terrible day which will live in infamy came to pass and our bickering with Moscow over the Third World was reduced for naught as the world struggled to survive,"

Everyone present shifted uncomfortably in their seats. With the demise of the Soviet Union and the dictatorial regime of "Cash Me Chiang" that had unfairly occupied the Japanese territory of Formosa when they had been soundly routed by the Helmsman's nationalist revolt against the corruption, incompetence and general brutality of the Kuomintang quickly becoming nothing more than a footnote in the annals of history, several disquieting facts about the first half of the early 20th century had come to light. What remained of the Soviet archives played a major role in the Velvet Revolution that shook Europe and transformed the word "Progressive" and "interventionist liberal' into the 21st century's version of national socialist' and 'racial realist/nationalist', but several poorly kept files in the archives of US intelligence agencies had played a major role in this as well.

Their ability to project power and influence was both ruined by the cataclysm that was Second Impact and the slow, near unnoticeable at first but the now unquestionable rise of a once destroyed and humiliated Japan as the first global hyperpower known to mankind, the decimated and humiliated remains of the American utopian dream and the Russian Empires retreated in their shells to do some much-needed soul searching. Several members of the now defunct CPSU and KGB who had unusually close relationships with the Orthodox Church were given generous leave of retirement and 'encouraged' to migrate to Greece, now reduced to a satellite state of Italy, a resurgent Turkey, America's former colonial power Austria and Bulgaria when undeniable evidence of Serbian collaboration with Imperial Russia and Russian collaboration with the Nazis came to light during the 'truth and reconciliation sessions held by the newly restored German Imperial government in an attempt to bring to justice all war criminals that might be still walking the Earth.

America was forced to take similar measures when several prominent members of the 'liberal establishment' were linked to a series of domestic terror events that had been rocking the South ever since Richard Nixon had tried detente with the Soviet Union. Those among the conspirators who could be prosecuted were given a speedy and public trial and then promptly executed, the remainder were either deported to what was once known as Isreal where according to the latest intelligence gathered, they had become very prominent in the ultra-Zionist terror movement formed ironically, from the waves of refugees fleeing the Soviet Union or simply vanished, never to be seen again.

With a key factor in the chaos and misery of the previous century mostly eliminated and the world finally adjusting to the peace it long-awaited, reconstruction of the shattered world could begin in earnest. But if there was one thing that was ever constant about humanity, it was that war never changes.

Although the Empire of Liberty might no longer have the status of "the shining city on a hill" or a vast network of military bases and intelligence assets it could project power from, there would always be those in need crying out for someone to save them from their oppression. And the main causes of oppression and misery across the world were no longer major powers competing for territory and prestige, nor ideological battles. Those days had ended when a meteorite struck the coast of Antarctica and almost reduced the world to ruin.

Nay, the major instigators of the world's problems were mega-corporations and the vast amount of power and influence they now held over humanity. The fat cats of Wall Street had succeded in transforming several American metropolises and what remained of Russia's urban life into what they called 'megacities' which were modern fiefs controlled by the corps and their lackeys when the governments were busy pointing fingers at each other in the chaos. [4] These vast, towering masses of concrete, interconnectivity and human misery were a stain upon the honor of Washington and Moscow and had been the main nail in the coffin that had ended their superpower status.

The legend of "Judge Dredd" in what was once known as New York and this particular law enforcement agent's rather harsh method towards enforcing justice, "Robocop" and the various misadventures said cyborg found himself in and the old wives' tale of the "Village Hidden in the Leaves" would soon overtake the story of King Arthur and the other fairy tales at this point, and the head of the Agency could take the continued humiliation of his nation no longer. [5]

If it meant being seen as a delusional maniac and ignorant fool lost in his fantasies, then so be it. He couldn't stand back and watch his beloved country, the nation he had fought in uniform to protect against all threats foreign and domestic, pass away into the good night because of something that could be easily prevented.

The typical screen saver used for meetings of this nature disappeared on the holographic screen and was replaced with a blurry grayscale image of what was clearly an agent of the now-defunct NERV Organization, cradling what seemed to be an unconscious Kyuubi Jinchuriki in his strong arms as a high-end Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman with the company logo replaced with the NGO's insignia appeared to be waiting on the two of them in the background.

"What...the fuck..." the DIA director muttered out unconsciously, before correcting himself and focusing his keen eyes on what seemed to be the most obvious detail of this picture. "Isn't that the Shinji Ikari character everyone seems to be talking about these days, the brat who snapped and went on a rampage after apparently being used as a literal weapon by the piece of shit that supposedly was his dad? Rosuguni, Rokuguni or whatever the Japs call themselves,"

The CIA head face-palmed and whispered a short prayer as he began to slowly understand how his country had sunken so far during the 20th century. Monsters like Woodrow Wilson, who preached freedom and national self-determination while allowing autocracy and imperialism to run unchecked in the name of democracy, Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong whose main propaganda point was saving the world from 'godless communism' and Brezhnev who revived the Russian imperialism that had caused the First World War in the name of the 'proletariat' were great speakers and knew how to manipulate the masses, but they would have never gotten far without their legions of sycophants and the wilfully ignorant who choose to bury their head in the sand until it was too late.

Couldn't they see what was going on? How they and the idiots in the Kremlin had been played for fools by the big boys, keeping the world distracted with the ever so convenient threat of nuclear annihilation and bush wars in the underdeveloped hellholes that were the colonial 'possessions' of the former Allied powers to appease the patriotic sentiment while the real enemy was among them all along? The Ikari boy had torn the JSSDF battalions sent to stop him and end the threat of NERV's increasing over-reach to pieces, and that was when he was an emotionally stunted pre-teen relying on an experimental machine to control his vast power!

And if the rumors about what happened at the Amagi press conference were true...He clenched his fist and tried to conceal the anger coursing through his body from his fellow heads of the military intelligence complex.

Somewhere else in Japan...

[Abandoned City]

The tall, lanky figure clad in a light blue trenchcoat with orange flame patterns creeping up around the edges, over a simple black T-shirt with a pair of grey cargo pants and white sneakers completing the set, raised his slitted cerulean eyes towards the heaven, pleading to whatever deity that was out there to give him the strength he needed to deal with his current situation.

{You know soichi, if you'd just open up a little, and stop being so damned paranoid, you'd avoid a fair amount of the troubles you keep on finding yourself in}

He let his body go limp, as arcs and sparks of lightning crackled and snapped around it like the whip of a circus master. [I know. But even if I were to head over to neo-Kasumigaseki and hand myself in a pretty little package to the nearest honest copper I could find, I'd still be seen as a monster, a maniac serial killer with the blood of hundreds on his hands, and now an insane lunatic peddling conspiracy] Tears ran down his pale face as memories of the attack at the Amagi conference ran through his mind.

He knew Haytani was out there, watching, waiting, and plotting to make his next big move when the public was distracted with the latest celebrity scandal and the government with whatever stupidity came out of the USA and Russia these days. The guys at Amagi Corp had been unresponsive when he'd dropped off a list of plans he'd seized from an EVOL meeting he'd infiltrated, but the police and Kōanchōsa-Chō had been quite interested, which was ironic because he was currently topping the list as the bastard son of that monster.

And there was also the issue of Konoha and those who called themselves shinobi, to take into consideration. While the young man no longer considered himself a resident of that god-forsaken village, much less an American citizen for that matter, the assholes in the Leaf were starting to take things way too far and were most likely going to get a lot of innocents killed, or injured if he didn't nip this stupid plan of theirs in the bud.

Maybe a special package to the Hokage's office, delivered via American Express would do the trick? He didn't know much about America, the god-forsaken Leaf being too far away from any form of civilization for the Constitution to be of any real effect, but maybe some unlucky guy back at Customs would find it and the White House would put their unruly ninja village in order due to the embarrassment.

Taking care of two problematic vultures, with one well-placed stone.

"Kanzaki-kun, are you listening to me? Kanzaki-kun, please don't tell me that you're going to hang up now. Kanzaki-kun? Kanzaki-kun?!" A short pause for a moment, as the supposed child of Ayanami Yui and Roppuguni Gendo contemplated on what to say next. "KANZAKI-KUN!"

A soft sigh passed from his lips as the soft beep of the wireless headset currently in his ears echoed softly into his mind. "No need to shout Noah-chan, I can hear you pretty well," The angry huff from the other side of the line indicated that the normally shy girl was still quite displeased with his actions, a turn of events he found quite surprising considering what he was, and what he had done to her family just by being around them.

"Why do you always have to act like this Kanzaki-kun...or should I say Ikari-kun, the infamous Third Child of the now loathed and reviled NERV organization? Formerly Namikaze-Uchiha-Ōtsutsuki-Naruto, only legal child of the Yondaime Hokage and Kiiroi Senkō of Konohagakure no Sato, the apparently well-respected Namikaze Minato, and his secret lover, one Ōtsutsuki Kushina, the Shi no Aka of the Hyuga Clan [6] before an insane madman remembered that a key part of his plan was missing and retrieved his most important weapon from the outskirts of the Golden State?"

The former weapon of the Hidden Leaf Village and now ronin-esque ex-EVA operator nearly passed out in shock and unwilling disbelief.


[1] Guess which other famous light novel series that got a more famous anime I'm referring to here.

[2] Sagiri and "Araragi Karen" don't get along that well due to a certain series of events involving the Kaleidostick Ruby and the wacky series of adventures that ensure trying to keep its power out of the wrong hands. The two girls also encountered a certain Kyuubi Jinchuriki turned Black Sweeper while investigating what turned out to be one of Haytani's many schemes, and let's just say the Tousaka pride took a great hit that day.

[3] In the canon timeline of the Majikoi visual novels and the manga and anime created to promote them, the Kazama Family has included several notable martial artists and masters of the sword in their ranks. Considering how Issei's two friends seem able to not only take the heavy beatings given to them by the Kendo Club but survive such punishment, I assumed they had martial arts training and ran with that.

[4] The story about the Holy Grail and the ability it has of summoning servants is seen as a myth in the Underworld where Rias lives.

[5] Second Impact took place a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall in this fanfic and was initially blamed on a Soviet wunderwaffen program. The world recovers faster from this incident due to the timeline being moved up a decade, but the decimation of the American and Russian states by the initial disaster and the chaos and confusion that happens after, plus the restoration of Europe as a major power [under the watchful eyes of Japan of course], means that both nations are now seen as the laughing stock of the world.

[6] I always hated how Hamura's descendants got thrown to the side in favor of the whole Indra and Ashura thing that was the major point of the war against Madara, so in order to fix that I made the 'Uzumaki' that remained in the Village Hidden in the Eddies keep their original name and also have the Byakugan to help with their massive chakra reserves and fuinjutsu skill, with the Hyuga being descended from wandering remnants and outcasts who made their way to Konoha and eventually climbed through the ranks to become the actual Major Clan they are when canon starts, though they forgot their sealing skills and connection to the so-called Uzumaki.

The Uchiha thing is based on a theory I have surrounding Itachi, and no, it's not Madara/Asura. He'll need the Mangenkyou for a very specific reason that will be revealed as this story chugs along.
