Note: Originally, I wanted Ifrit to be the fire demon that possessed Naruto, but instead of fire demon, he was an Infernian. Otherwise, Naruto would be a human/demon hybrid. He would have also been more vicious and more willing to kill. However, I wanted to involve a devil King that wasn't really in the stories much so I decided on using Seekvaira. Infernus came to be after looking at a "certain video game" that piqued my interest and watching Preacher. From there, Infernus was made. Also, Infernus is male. I have no idea why I called him it.

Second Note: I know I promised a Moka-focused chapter but I got pretty busy with college so due to the long wait I'm scrapping it and doing this instead until I find the right time to do it.


Agares Mansion
Backyard

"Again!"

A bruised Naruto gets back up to fight Alivian for the umpteenth time. The new devil of Seekvaira's Peerage had been fighting the male Queen for four straight hours for martial arts training. The upside of this was that Naruto was quickly learning and every fight was getting longer and longer by the second. The downside: It was one-sided, and Alivian was the only one unscathed. Infernus was pretty pissed. The demon wanted to wipe the floor with the dragon, but Naruto insisted that the demon bears it for his sake. After knocking Naruto down once again, Alivian stops.

"We should stop for today."

"I can still fight. Let's go again." Alivian smiles at Naruto's insistence that they continue the latter's martial arts training.

"I know you want to be strong for our King, but you need to rest your body-"

"I heal REALLY fast." In seconds, Naruto's bruises heal in front of Alivian, who is not surprised by this.

"You're progressing at a pretty fast level Naruto. I don't want you to overdo it." Understanding, Naruto listens to the Queen and calls it quits for now. Getting up, Naruto walks back into Seekvaira's mansion. A few minutes later, Seekvaira's walking down the hallway looking at her files when she bumps into a shirtless Naruto.

"Oh! Naruto, I didn't see you..." Seekvaira can't help but look at the teen's shirtless figure. Blushing, she adjusts her glasses.

"Alivian ruined my shirt during training. And I just came out of the shower a few minutes ago...And I don't have an extra shirt." Naruto replied as he scratched the back of his head.

"I can see that...I was about to look for you. I want you to meet someone."

"Alright, though I need to go get a shirt-"

"No don't!" Naruto is surprised by this. Seekvaira, realizing what she did, turns red. "I mean, I'm sure that our guest won't mind if you see him without one. He is a guy."

"If you say so..." Naruto follows Seekvaira's to her studies. As they're walking, Seekvaira sneaks in some looks directed towards Naruto's body. She rarely had time to look at men the way she did with Naruto right now. She would mainly be looking at a screen, reports on papers, and her mech models.

"So this is what every girl my age is interested in these days..." Seekvaira thought to herself. Exiting her thoughts, Seekvaira asked Naruto how his martial arts training was going with Alivian, who replied by telling her he's getting the hang of the basic techniques he learned from him.

"By the time you start your first day at Kuoh Academy, you'll be around a medium level fighter. After that, you can get started on master-level combat."

"And magic?"

"If you want, I can lend you some books later," Seekvaira replied. Smiling, Naruto thanks his King. Stopping in front of her studies room, Seekvaira opens the door. In the room is Sirzechs Lucifer, the Crimson Satan. Sirzechs was in the middle of reading a book before directing his attention towards Seekvaira and her Rook.

"This must be the Rook you told me about," said Sirzechs as he closed his book and got up from his seat. Sirzechs and Naruto shake hands as they greet each other.

"So what has Seekvaira told you?" Naruto asked.

"That you got stabbed several times saving your cousin, that you have a very powerful demon inside you, that you have a ridiculously large amount of magic energy, and that you can control fire. And when I mean fire..." Out of nowhere, Sirzechs throws a large fireball at Naruto, who immediately catches it and absorbs its flames until nothing is left.

"I mean all fire. I read the reports from when you were possessed by this Infernus and killed your killer by setting him on fire. The fire not only burned him until he was dead, it resisted being put out until it finished. Power like that is very dangerous."

"I already know that, I don't need to be told twice. Now tell me...what brings you here?" Naruto asked.

"I'm here to offer you a job." Hearing that, Naruto looks at him, confused. This devil came all the way here, just so he can offer him a job.

"Seekvaira thought it best to contact me to give you a healthy way to use your abilities in a way that suits you and meets your needs to relieve...pent up anger," Sirzechs told the blond Rook, who directs a questioning look at his King.

"I came to the conclusion that your act of...Rated-R violence stems from an unknown amount of years holding in your anger, which I'd say is both impressive and...scary," Seekvaira told Naruto.

It's pretty risky and covert contracts and missions. I, like you, despise those who abuse their powers for their own selfish needs, who do injustice in the name of justice. After hearing what Seekvaira told me about you, it got me interested in seeing and quite possibly hiring you for this line of work."

"You want me to be some sort of...assassin?" Naruto asked.

"Assassin, Agent, Information Gatherer, Double Agent, all for the sake of peace. Without anyone but you, me, and Seekvaira knowing." Naruto wasn't convinced. To kill for the sake of peace behind people's backs, all to get a handle on what he was becoming? Hearing what he'd have to do as a job made him uneasy. Until...

"Take the offer!" Infernus shouts.

"Just like that!?"

"Not every war was won with words Naruto. Most wars were solved by sacrificing many lives and by taking them. Some were even done without their superiors knowing. Besides, a guy like Sirzechs giving this offer to you, other than dealing with your inner problems, you're getting big stacks of money." Hearing Infernus's smart reply, something that left Naruto surprised, he actually agreed with the demon. Wars throughout history always had its fair share of casualties, so it couldn't be helped. Exiting his thoughts, Naruto agrees to Sirzechs's offer.

"However, I will only take them if they're from my King."

"Being loyal to the one who saved your life, I like that. Very well, do you agree to this Seekvaira?"

"Of course," Seekvaira answered with a smile.

"Glad to hear it. I'll be on my way now. I look forward to working with you Naruto."

"Likewise..."

"Before I go, I have to ask, why aren't you wearing a shirt?"

"Oh, well Seekvaira told me that-" Before he can say more, a blushing Seekvaira covers Naruto's mouth.

"He came here after his training with my Queen!" Seekvaira replied, hiding the fact that she didn't want Naruto to put on a shirt. In his mind, Sirzechs couldn't help but feel that there was more to it but shrugs it off. As soon as Sirzechs leaves, Naruto turned to face his King.

"Sorry Naruto, I had to ask him for help. I worry about this anger of yours. I know you're a good person, but..."

"I understand Seekvaira. You called him because you were worrying about me. There's no reason for me to be angry with you if you're doing this to help," Naruto assured.

"Thank you for understanding Naruto, now please go put on a shirt."

Seekvaira's Library

"If I may, I want to know, what sort of magic do you use? Do you use any of the magic in these books?" Naruto was in the middle of picking magic books to use for his training when he decided to ask his King the question. Seekvaira was collecting books she thought would help Naruto when she heard him ask her a question.

"Oh, I don't use any of the magic in those books," Seekvaira replied.

"Why's that?"

"I don't have any interest in learning any of them. I only have them because my father likes collecting them. All the magic I know is from my father."

"If not, then what sort of magic do you use?" Instead of telling Naruto, Seekvaira smirks as she produces a large, silver, holographic mandala of fiery, tangible light energy in front of her, making Naruto's eyes widen in surprise.

"Damn, Glasses knows her shit."

"This is my family's magic, Light of Luceras. This magic was created by my great great great great grandfather, Luceras Agares. With this, I can create shields and weapons out of my own energy. I can also create whips of light and use this magic as a decoder for magic puzzles. There are other types of magic I know but that's for another time.

"Can I learn it?"

"Sadly no, this magic is only for those with Agares blood." Naruto looked disappointed that he couldn't learn the Agares Family's magic. It looked really cool and powerful.

"No wonder why she's a King." Naruto finishes collecting 8 books for his training. To Seekvaira's surprise, the books Naruto chose are about weapon and armor enchantment magic, advanced fire magic, and forbidden fire magic.

"You want to learn those?" Seekvaira didn't know whether he was ambitious or just plain crazy. But one thing's for sure: He always found ways to surprise her.

"Okay, just...don't overdo it. Oh and here." Seekvaira throws some books to Naruto, who catches them. "Start with those and work your way up." Naruto nods in approval before leaving.

Training Room

Naruto looks at a chapter titled "Astral Projecting." Knowing that Infernus could easily access his body when he's in astral form, Naruto skips it.

"Damn, I was hoping you'd pick that one."

"If I did that, you'd probably use my body to do perverted things to women."

"Women don't always go for the nice guys. I should know, I've lived longer than anyone." Ignoring Infernus, Naruto looks at the next chapter titled "Teleportation."

"Teleportation...Go anywhere with just a thought. To teleport, visualize a person or place you want to appear next to or at and focus. Hmmm..." Thinking of Moka, Naruto instantly teleports to her location, bursting into flames as he did it.

Moka's Room

Appearing in her room, Naruto voiced his surprise that it actually worked. He then wonders where Moka was since he's in her room.

"Kokoa, are you home? How-"

Turning around, Naruto's eyes go wide in surprise, Moka having just come out of her bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel that's wrapped around her hair. The girl is shocked to see Naruto in her room and, realizing he was seeing her naked body, she screams and starts throwing random stuff at the blond, who covers his eyes while yelling, "I can explain!"

A few minutes later...

Now clothed, Moka sits next to Naruto on the edge of her bed, both not saying anything to one another.

"Wow Naruto, who knew that thinking about your crush would end up having you seeing her naked!? In her own room!? That is just rich! However, you missed a chance to go into the bathroom with her and fuck her on the bathroom floor."

"Listen, Moka...I didn't mean to-"

"Why are you in my house?" she interrupts.

"I...I wanted to see you." Moka looks at Naruto in surprise. He wanted to see her?

"If you're wondering how I came in, I used the key you gave me."

"You could've knocked...Then you wouldn't have...You'll take responsibility right?" Naruto nods yes to answer. After letting out a sigh, Moka asked her friend why he wanted to see her.

"I just wanted to know why you ran off that day when I was having lunch with Seekvaira." Moka did not want to answer this question. When she saw the two together, she assumed that Naruto was dating the Agares girl and that the two were an item. She felt jealous of Seekvaira. When she ran off, the vampire girl was silently crying, feeling she missed her chance.

"I..." Before she can say anything, Naruto stops her, knowing Moka didn't feel like answering.

"Maybe I shouldn't have asked that. However, just to be clear, Seekvaira and I aren't dating. She's just...helping me with some of my inventions." Moka's eyes shot up in surprise as she turns to Naruto.

"You...You're not?" To hear that he wasn't dating Seekvaira rang in her ears. She was depressed about nothing.

"Of course. Wait a minute, could it be that..." At this point, Moka's heart began racing. Was today the day that Naruto realized that she was in love with him? Her heart wasn't ready for this. Or was it?

"That you were worried that she'd be a bad influence to me?" Moka had a humorous look of disbelief on her face.

"Yeah! Of course! That is exactly why!" she replied, playing along while sounding defeated. Smiling, Naruto voiced how happy he was that she was worried for him.

"So are we cool?" he asked. Moka smiles and nods in approval, making him happy.

"Alright, I feel better now. I should get back to-"

"Naruto, do you want to go watch a movie?"

"Right now? I should really-" Naruto stops after seeing Moka's pleading eyes. He comes to the conclusion that she feels lonely. Smiling, he asks her, "What movie do you have in mind?"

Training Room

"Naruto how's-" Seekvaira finds the training room empty but littered with books, her Rook nowhere to be found.

"WHERE DID HE GO!? OH NO, DON'T TELL ME HE USED A FORBIDDEN SPELL AND GOT SENT TO A DANGEROUS DIMENSION, MAYBE ANOTHER UNIVERSE!" Entering the training room, Alivian asks Seekvaira what's wrong.

"Naruto's missing! I- We need to find him! What if he's hurt!?" Seekvaira says out loud, worried for her Rook.

"I'm sure Naruto's fine." Alivian said, knowing full well that Naruto could take care of himself. After all, the Rook knew how to fight now, and he had a powerful fire demon inside of him.

"I'm still going to go look for him. Stay in the house until I get back, and clean up those books." With that, Seekvaira uses her Light of Luceras magic to create a holographic compass that detects powerful energies, in this case, Naruto's. She follows it as Alivian looks on before going on with his day once his King left his sights.

Kuoh Movie Theater

Seekvaira secretly followed Naruto and Moka, having tracked them 6 minutes ago. She was going to call him out and ask him to come back with her. But after seeing Naruto and Moka happily going somewhere together, she decided to secretly observe their relationship.

"Oi Naruto, Glasses is stalking you two."

"I'm well aware of that, but why?"

"Hell if I know."

"Where are your parents Moka?" Naruto asked. With a pouty look on her face, Moka tells him they went out to celebrate their anniversary in private and that her sisters had plans of their own.

"You're lucky to have sisters that are around when you need them, Naruto."

"Yeah, though Chelsea and Akame are a handful. They eat a lot AND they tend to wear nothing but their undergarments when Jiraiya's not around and it's hot inside the house," Naruto replied.

"His sisters wore only their undergarments when their guardian's not around and when it's hot inside their house?" Seekvaira thought to herself. How Naruto was okay with that she would never know. At least Naruto didn't get any awkward boners from it. Any guy would get a boner if they saw his sisters going around the house like that.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Seekvaira sees Naruto and Moka paying for tickets to see an action sci-fi movie. Following behind, she also buys a ticket for the movie as well. Few minutes into the movie later, the King is immersed with it, the movie being a mecha vs. giant monster movie. Her eyes were enamored by the opening fight scene in the movie. Naruto and Moka were seated a couple rows in front of her. As the blond reached in for more popcorn, he finds himself touching Moka's hand. Looking at each other, both teens quickly turn back to the movie. Infernus, watching the teens interact with one another, deemed it boring. Concluding that Naruto won't have sex with her by the end of the night, Infernus focuses on watching the movie. To his surprise, the fire demon liked the movie. Four-Fifths into the film, the main character finds himself promising his love interest that he'll come back to her alive before being kissed by her. Moka's eyes start tearing up as she places her hands over her chest, Seekvaira doing the same.

"I swear, if Reegar does not come back to her alive, I will not forgive the producer and the director," Seekvaira told herself as she takes out her handkerchief and wipes her eyes. Once the movie is done, everyone starts exiting the theater room.

"I am so glad that Reegar lived at the end of the movie. I was worried that he wouldn't make it."

"I had a feeling that he'd survive."

"What makes you say that?" asked Moka.

"A man in love would do whatever it takes to be with the woman he loves," Naruto replied. Hearing this, Moka's cheeks turned a bright shade of red. Looking away, she asks Naruto if he wants to go to Joypolis.

"Isn't that the amusement park owned by SEGA?"

"Yeah."

"I'd be happy to-"

"Whoa, check out that chick!" Naruto and Moka turn their attention to three delinquents their age eyeing Moka. As they approach them, Naruto gets in front of Moka in a protective manner.

"Hey Blondie, my friends and I couldn't help but find ourselves attracted to your lovely girl. How you ever scored her is beyond me...Now, if you'd like, we'd be willing to take her out of your hands."

"Sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to say no, and by that I mean hell no. She's with me." Naruto said to the main delinquent. "I suggest you leave us alone and get on with your day." Amused, the main delinquent turns to his friends and says, "Check out the balls on this guy." The main delinquent swings his fist at Naruto, only for the blond to stop it, surprising both Moka and the main delinquent's friends. Naruto slowly starts twisting his arm, forcing the delinquent onto his knees, scaring him and his friends.

"If you three think you'll have your way, you're wrong. If you ever approach Moka and me again, I won't leave you guys with just a threat," he told the three in a tone that almost sounds demonic. Letting go, he allows the three scared delinquents to run for their lives. Turning to Moka, the blond apologizes to her for scaring her.

"Scaring me? You protected me, and without a scratch...for the first time," she said. Naruto didn't realize it until now. Every time he protected Moka, he always ended up injured in the process.

"Thank goodness it didn't escalate any further," Moka adds.

"Yeah, who knows what could've happened if I didn't scare them away."

"...You're Naruto...right?"

"Of course," Naruto replied. He was still Naruto...but with a powerful demonic being inside of him.

"You're...far more heroic than before." Moka leans closer to have a good look at her friend. The blond Rook blushed as she stares into his eyes with a curious smile on her face. "I wonder what it is..."

"It's probably the lack of glasses...and I also started...exercising a bit more." Moving away, Moka, her smile never leaving her face, turns around and tells herself, "The Loser Hero finally becomes a winner." Hearing her, Naruto asks, "What was that?"

"Oh, nothing," Moka replied. She then took Naruto's hand and told her to follow her. After all, she knew how to get to Joypolis. A few feet away, Seekvaira had seen how Naruto had scared the delinquents. If she was him, she'd have killed them. But Naruto, he decided not to and let them go in order to not scare Moka. Seeing how Naruto acted when he was with Moka was getting even more interesting to the Agares girl.

Nighttime

Hours had gone by since she followed the two. First, they went to Joypolis, where they rode a few very impressive attractions and played at the arcade. Of course, Seekvaira had her own fun, without Moka's knowledge. Naruto was still aware of her presence, he just liked to pretend he didn't know, seeing as how the Agares girl was enjoying herself. After Joypolis, Naruto and Moka had dinner at Burger Queen. Now here she (Seekvaira) was, following Naruto as he walked Moka home.

"I had a great time today. I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't shown up."

"Probably would have stayed home and finished off a tub of mint chocolate ice cream while watching Reservoir Dogs?" Moka laughed at this response.

"Maybe...Naruto?"

"Hmmm?"

"You'll stay being you...right?" Naruto assures Moka he'll stay who he is before asking her why she asked.

"I admit, I found this little change of yours nice. I just want to be sure that you will always be yourself."

"I will, and that's a promise." Arriving at her front door, Naruto and Moka turn to each other.

"So...do you want to do this again...soon?" Naruto shyly asked.

"Yes...just make sure you don't pop up in my house like earlier," she replied. In truth, she wouldn't mind if Naruto saw her body the second time...She should stop secretly reading Jiraiya's books from her parents' room. Opening her door, she happily waves goodbye to her friend before closing the door.

Leaving Moka's house, Naruto calls Seekvaira out. Popping out from behind a light post, the Agares girl asks her Rook how he knew she was following him.

"I have a demonic being inside of me who's constantly watching my back."

"Right, forgot about Infernus." On the way home, with Seekvaira walking beside him, the latter asks if he's learned how to teleport.

"Yeah, but I don't think I'll be using that for transportation. I much prefer walking and running," Naruto replied. "I'll probably use it for combat, who knows..."

"...You could've beaten up those delinquents earlier, maybe killed them." Naruto stops in his tracks as Seekvaira does the same.

"You're right, I could. But...sometimes people like them aren't worth it."

"...While I don't fully agree with you, since you're a devil now, I'll let it slide. However, don't make this a thing Naruto."

Seekvaira's Room
Agares Residence
10:48 pm

Seekvaira, wearing a yellow nightgown, prepares for bed, only to get a call from Sirzechs. Picking up, an annoyed Seekvaira asks the Devil why he called.

"I have a mission for Naruto that he needs to hear. I tried to reach him but something is disrupting my attempts to reach him." Seekvaira can only conclude that Infernus was the cause of the disruption. Sighing, Seekvaira tells Sirzechs to meet with her and Naruto tomorrow at the Agares Corp Building. Thanking her, Sirzechs hangs up.

"Looks like Naruto's going to have a lot on his plate tomorrow..."

Naruto's Room

Laying...Naruto was laying on his bed...and he couldn't sleep. Annoyed, Naruto gets up, puts on some casual clothes, and teleports out of his room.

Training Room
Agares Corp Building

Entering the training room, Naruto, arms full of spell books prepares for an all-night training binge.

"This takes hitting up the books to a whole new level." Infernus commented. The demon was glad that Naruto decided to do more training. That way, it quickens Naruto's chances at one day allowing him to finally kill Trihexa.

"I figured an all-nighter wouldn't hurt. I've done this kind of stuff before for upcoming tests and exams." Naruto commented.

"Fucking nerd." Naruto ignores Infernus as he begins his all-night training session.

The next day...

Alivian enters the training room, hoping to get some training in himself, only to find a passed out and drooling Naruto on the floor. Alivian finds several spell books scattered around the floor. Bending down on his knees, he shakes the Rook awake.

"Ohhh what time is it?"

"9:56 am...How long have you been in here training?" Alivian asked.

"Since 11:20 at night. I managed to go through and learn all of the weapon and armor enchantment magic, and all the basic fire spells." Alivian's eyes widened. Naruto had spent most of his hours learning some of the spells in the books scattered on the floor?

"You learned all those in just one night?" Alivian asked as he helped Naruto pick up all the books. "A simple devil wouldn't have been able to do this in one night."

"Well I'm no ordinary devil, am I?" Alivian has no reply to this question. He had to agree, Naruto was no ordinary devil. "Having a photographic memory also has its moments."

"You mentioned not being able to learn a few magic spells. What were they?"

"The first one was Sling Magic."

"You're not satisfied with teleportation?" Alivian asked.

"You could say that..."

"What's the second one?"

"Advanced and Forbidden Fire Magic."

"I would suggest you stick with the basics for now. Is there any more?"

"One more...Servant Magic." Alivian drops all the books after hearing that.

"Servant Magic is a powerful summoning magic that is very difficult to master, let alone use. To bring out a Heroic Spirit to battle beside you would give any Peerage an advantage in almost any battle. Only a rare handful have been successful in summoning one. It requires a lot of magic to successfully summon a servant and has the risk of killing the Master."

"I don't want to die a second time, but something like a Heroic Spirit would definitely benefit Seekvaira," said Naruto.

"That would benefit Seekvaira, though I would advise that you focus on improving yourself until you're truly ready to pull off summoning a Servant."

"I will remember that."

"Great, now continue picking up these books with me."

2 hours Later...

Naruto enters Seekvaira's office, where he finds his King and Sirzechs waiting for him.

"Sirzechs-san, what brings you here?" Naruto asked. The red-haired Lucifer turns his head towards Naruto and gives him a smile.

"I have a mission for you." Raising a brow, Naruto asks him what it involves. Hearing this, Sirzechs's face turns serious.

"I need you to assassinate a priest in Italy."

"What?"

"I know what you're going to say, but listen. This priest...has done horrible things I can't put into detail, all leading up to murder. He's managed to get away with his murder spree. The Church can find no proof of his crimes, and Devils can't interfere with investigations involving the Church."

"How long has he been doing this?" Naruto asked.

"Eight years, maybe more." Hearing this, Naruto's eyes narrow in anger as he asks for the priest's name, convinced that his target is "not human anymore".

"Adam Takumi, he's said to be a very charismatic priest to The Church. To assassinate him, you must pose as an exorcist and infiltrate The Church. When he's alone, finish him, leave no trace of him." Understanding the mission, he asks Sirzechs when he should leave.

"9:00 Tonight. I will have a plane ready for you to go to Italy." Sirzechs replied.

"No flying by wings?"

"The Church in Italy will attack and kill any and every devil in sight. Lucky for you, Ajuka secretly developed a pill that can disguise your devilish power for a whole day.

"Useful."

Naruto's Room
7:00 pm

"Ehhhh!? You're going to Italy!? Why!?" Akame said out loud as Naruto finished packing his luggage.

"An acquaintance of someone I know wants me to do something he wants done there since her schedule is too packed and she can't make it." Akame pouts at this. Giving her a smile, Naruto pats her head.

"I'll be home as soon as I can," he assured Akame, who smiles after. With his luggage packed, Naruto exits his room. "Oh, and one more thing."

"What's that?" Akame asked.

"Put some clothes on," Naruto said with a straight face. Akame was currently wearing nothing but a black and red lacy bra and matching panties.

"But it's hot inside," Akame told him.

"Then turn on the ac," he countered.

"Why waste electricity doing that when we can just wear our undergarments?" Turning around, Naruto sees Chelsea wearing a white bra with matching panties alongside a pair of black thigh high stockings. She was also sucking on a blue lollipop.

"You dress up as well Chelsea. Alright, I have to go."

"Not after you give us a goodbye hug," Chelsea said, arms open. Knowing that his sister won't take no for an answer, Naruto relents and hugs her, Akame joining in as well.

"Oh my god just fuck them already! Akame for sure! Who cares if Chelsea is homosexual, maybe fuck her too! Zeus fucked his sister!" Hearing this, Naruto shakes Chelsea and Akame off as he leaves to go to Italy.

Downtown Kuoh
7:25 pm

"Did you really have to say that?" Naruto telepathically asked Infernus.

"Yes, I did."

"I am not having sex with my sisters! Stop telling me I should! Is there anything else I can talk to you about other than fucking my sisters!?"

"...What about fucking...Moka?" Naruto ignores that question entirely. "Soon enough, you'll need to embrace your darker instincts, as you did with those fallen angels. If you don't you might end up developing serial killer tendencies." Naruto can't help but remember the anger he had last night and how good it felt to direct his anger towards something. Shaking the memory out of his mind, he decides to go to a convenience store to grab some snacks for the trip. As he prepares to walk to the store across the street, he noticed the same three delinquents from yesterday armed with SIG 220s preparing to rob it.

"Aren't those the guys you threatened? Looks like they didn't learn their lesson." Naruto quickly goes into the alleyway next to him to transform.

Convenience Store

Two of the delinquents decide to grab some drinks and snacks and vandalize the place as the main one aims a SIG 220 at the clerk running the store. The clerk was a 16-year old girl with wavy blue hair that reaches down to her shoulders and purple eyes. As the clerk is giving the main delinquent the money, the delinquent can't help but look at her breasts.

"I gave you the money, now can you and your buddies please go?" said the scared clerk.

"I was, but then I noticed that a girl like you has a nice pair of..."

"E-Cups." The main delinquent is surprised by the cup-size the clerk has.

"Did you hear that boys? She's an E-Cup!" The main delinquent yelled out loud for his friends to hear. His two colleagues whistle in surprise as they drop everything and walk towards their friend.

"Why don't you come here and show us a good time?" The scared clerk backs away towards the wall behind her.

"I'm sorry, that wasn't the reaction we wanted. Oh well then." As the main delinquent prepares to go over the counter he is interrupted by an enraged Naruto, who shoves the main delinquent into a wall.

"What the fuck is that!?" one of the main delinquent's friends shouts.

"I showed you mercy, and this is what you and your friends do?"

"Waste it!" Getting up, the main delinquent and his friends start shooting at Naruto repeatedly. The bullets harmlessly melt into puddles of metal upon contact with his body. Unfazed, Naruto runs at them, grabbing the main delinquent by the head and slamming him to the ground. He then elbows the second delinquent in the stomach and sweep kicks him. The third delinquent aims at the back of Naruto's head.

"Do it, pull the fucking trigger and see what happens." Complying, the third delinquent shoots Naruto, only for the bullet to shatter upon impact, leaving him unharmed. Getting up slowly as the third delinquent tries several times to shoot him until his gun is out of bullets, Naruto turns to him and slams the delinquent's face onto the desk. Getting up, the main delinquent has a look of horror as Naruto grabs him and pushes him against the wall.

"What are you?"

"I'm the one who's going to send you and your friends to Hell."

"Please, please let us go. We won't do this shit again I promise!" Not saying another word, Naruto's eyes glow an intense light as he looks into the main delinquent's soul. To his shock and anger, they were planning to go after him and Moka with plans in mind. Naruto could see every sick thing they were going to do to Moka. They were planning to tie him up and force him to watch as they...

"Liar." Enraged, Naruto slams the main delinquent's head against the wall until the back of his skull is cracked open, revealing his brain. With one final slam, the main delinquent's head is crushed. Turning to the other delinquents, he noticed the scared expressions on their faces. Extending his hand out, Naruto sets them on fire and watched as the two remaining delinquents scream and burn to death, leaving two burned fleshes of what used to be two humans. The flames he produced were intense enough to melt the ice cream and chocolate in the store, and the security cameras were all fried. Finished, he looks to see the clerk girl cowering behind the desk.

"It's okay, they won't hurt you. I'm not going to either." Hearing this, the clerk girl slowly gets up and sees the dead bodies before cowering behind the counter again. Knowing that the clerk is scared out of her mind, Naruto covers himself in ethanol flames and leaves.

"First thing tomorrow, I'm quitting this job and working at the convenience store in Tokyo!" said the clerk as she dialed buttons on a phone to call the police.

Sirzechs's Private Plane (Autopilot)

9:23 pm

11 hours till arrival

"Come on."

"I don't want to talk about it."

"We should be talking about it. Hell, I'll start, you were on fire! And I don't mean literally! You slamming that guy's head until it got crushed like a watermelon was hardcore! And you burning the last two guys was the icing on the cake! To think that you would snap when you-"

"I know what I saw!" Naruto angrily shouts.

"I know you're fucking savage, but when it comes to Moka, you're more than fucking savage." Naruto doesn't say anything. "Hey don't pull an "I never asked to be this" bullshit. You killed those three, so what? You know they deserved it. You did what every other devil would do: Send them straight to Hell. In doing that, you saved an innocent life tonight."

"You saw that clerk. She was scared."

"Of what? You or the dead bodies?"

"Both." This leaves Infernus annoyed.

"I know of your talk with Akame. You CANNOT afford to be like this. Not now. Not while Glasses and that red-haired fuck trusted you with a mission only WE can do. You can cling to the fact that you still appear and feel like a human all you want but you're not human. Not anymore. Get it in your fucking head. I am close to exiting your body and killing you. Would you rather die a second time because you were too weak to embrace what you've become? Or accept what you've become and live?" Hearing what Infernus had to say, Naruto knew that everything he said was right. He could not accept that he was a devil and that he was giving in to his darker instincts and Infernus knew it.

"If you don't accept what you've become now, you won't be able to protect anyone, not even Moka." Hearing the last part, Naruto's eyes widen in realization. Wanting to see Moka and the others again was the reason he became a devil. What would be the point of being Seekvaira's Rook and Infernus' host if he was acting like a coward afraid of the strength he now possessed? He wanted to live for and protect Moka, not like before. Not like his old self. If he was still human, Naruto wouldn't have been able to protect her from those delinquents and they would've...

"Now do you understand?" Infernus asked.

"...I understand," Naruto said in a defeated tone. Feeling sort of bad for Naruto, a first for him, Infernus sighs. He could not believe he was doing this.

"I know what you're feeling right now. You may think it's bullshit, but it's not. I actually know. I had the exact same feelings as you when I was in your shoes, before and after I became...something more. Took me a whole fucking week until I embraced what I became." This response from Infernus surprised Naruto, who then asked the demon what he was, and who he was before he was Infernus. "This is all you're going to hear from me! I'm not here to share my past with you and be buddy-buddy! I'm just here to cause hell and kill Trihexa! I won't stand to be in the body of a weakling!"

"For some reason, I feel like you're not all bad at rare times Infernus. If you can work on not swearing, then you'd be tolerable," said a now-smiling Naruto.

"Whatever..."

"...Earlier, when you said you were close to exiting my body and killing me...you weren't going to do it, were you?"

"You were acting like a fucking wuss. How else was I going to get through to you?" Hearing the demon's answer, Naruto felt relieved. "Now go sleep, we'll be in Italy in 11 hours."

"I'm not tired, really. At least not yet." Getting up from his seat, Naruto walks over to a room in the private plane. The room is filled with spell books alphabetized in shelves, gadgets made by Naruto lying on the floor, and several boxes of shotgun shells on the right of the room. In the middle of the room is a table filled with clothing materials and blocks of titanium and iron resting on top of it.

"I think now's the right time to start working on some upgrades for a new me," Naruto said.

"Is there a reason why you plan on making a costume?"

"I'm supposed to kill a priest without giving away my identity and without revealing who I work for. What better way to do that by creating an alter ego?" This raises Infernus' interests.

"You're going to need a name to go by. Something that will strike fear into your enemies. It also needs to sound cool." Agreeing with Infernus. Naruto thinks long and hard on what to call himself. Finally, Naruto finds one.

"...Firebrand."

"A person who is passionate about a particular cause, typically inciting change and taking radical action. I had some ideas, but that sounds like it'll stick. Alright Firebrand, start making." Nodding, Naruto prepares to make his suit.

Rome Baptist Church

Rome, Italy

"Xenovia!"

Turning her head, the blue-haired girl known as Xenovia sees Adam Takumi walking towards her with a smile on his face and bible in hand. The priest is a man in his 50s with an average build and long, black spiky hair and round glasses.

"A few exorcists and I are going to go out and do a little extra reading to our Lord. Would you like to join us?"

"I'm sorry Father Takumi, but I'll have to pass. I have plans tonight with Irina," he told a disappointed Takumi. "Maybe in the next one?"

"That would be wonderful," said a smiling Adam. Waving goodbye and leaving, Xenovia doesn't notice the priest eyeing Xenovia's assets.

"Next one, I will have you Xenovia Quarta. You don't pass a night with one who truly serves God. Not to worry, I will help you repent when that time comes." was what the priest thought as he licked his lips.

"Oh well, I still have 10 girls who are willing to join me." With that, Father Takumi leaves to do his "dirty work".

To be continued...


For this chapter, I wanted to show how willing Naruto was to be strong for Seekvaira but show that despite wanting to be strong, he still doesn't want to kill but the really bad people can't help but bring out the violence in Naruto. I wanted to show Naruto finally accepting that he needs to embrace his darker instincts in order to protect others and to not be the weak person he once was before he became a devil and Infernus's host. If he actually lived from being shot and had met those delinquents while he was out with Moka, who knows what would happen. But knowing that Moka would be able to fend for herself, it'd be fine, though Naruto would still feel powerless like that fuck Shinji, and we don't want that. Like characters like Kaneki and Shinichi, from Tokyo Ghoul and Parasyte respectively, he(Naruto) too has to embrace his "darker side."

Once Naruto's back from Italy, will he be the same? Will he still feel things?

If you're wondering how Naruto's going to kill the evil priest, you'll find that in the next chapter.

As for the clerk from the convenience store, I have no idea on what I should name her. If anyone has a name for her, let me know. For now, we'll just call her Clerk-san. She will appear on rare occasions in the story and no she will not be a part of Naruto's harem. She does have a boyfriend, who will be revealed in maybe two or five chapters. Who knows, maybe you've met him.

Things to know: The plane Naruto's in is pretty big. It has a room for building things and reading magic spells, a bedroom, a war room, two bathrooms, a kitchen, an entertainment room, and the seating room as well as a cockpit. This will eventually be Naruto's who will make modifications on it and paint it.

List of (lame) names Naruto and Infernus wanted to use:

* Devil Man

* Captain Firebrand

* Cinder

* Sexual Fire

* The Human Torch

* The Very Human Torch

* The Inhuman Torch

* The Nonhuman Torch

* The Devil Torch

* Hot Wheels

* Firecracker

* Heatwave

* The Heat

* Firestorm

* Sunfire

* Wildfire

* Pyro

* Firefly

* Fuckferno

* Phukyooferno

* Phukferno

* Captain Fuckferno

There's more but we digress...

For the upcoming fight with Xenovia, it will be interesting since Naruto has only been a devil for 4 days, he's going to get so wrecked. What did Xenovia use before she had Excalibur Destruction and Durandal? What skills does Xenovia possess? What happens next will reveal itself in the next chapter.
