Old Allies

Hello and I'm back with another update for A New Trial! Now! For my readers I want you all to know that am plan on working on another story. It probably won't be posted for a while. I plan on finishing up Bond of Two Clans, A Next Phenex Heir, and Ninja's Hero Academia first. Then once those three are finished I will continue with this story. Mainly, because there is still much I can do with this. My other three chapters are beginning to near the end. Well maybe not Bond of Two Clans and Next Phenex Heir as I do want to finish Shippuden for both stories and then get into the New, Born, and Hero arc for Next Phenex Heir. ANYWAYS! As for the next story idea, here is the exact words hint I gave on my Ninja's Hero Academia most recent chapter!

The story will be a reincarnation story for Naruto, he will have similar looks and facial features like he usually does. He will not have Kurama but will have access to chakra like he does originally. However, he will be unable to perform any type of ninjutsu whatsoever. He will be much faster, stronger, higher endurance, and regeneration than a normal human in this story. Since, this anime is actually just a normal human anime. There aren't any supernatural beings in this one. The reason Naruto can't use any real ninjutsu or anything. That's because he actually doesn't have the chakra capacity to use ninjutsu. Yes, I know, I know it's stupid and sounds ridiculous. But keep in mind this is a normal world. Meaning there is no need for a mountain destroying Naruto. Though, I don't mind allowing him to use chakra to enhance his physical movements. That I don't have an issue with, he will be a bit O.C you'll understand why. This Naruto doesn't mind school, and doesn't mind studying, though he doesn't mind a fight either. Let's just say he'll be a great Tutor to five really dumb people! If you know the anime you may announce it in the reviews!

Well try your best guesses! I will PM anyone who gets it right. If you do, I do suggest not going into another chapter and announcing it that you were right. Some people might like the surprise and there being no spoilers. Anyways lets answer some reviews!


Dat-boi-waddup's and stylo1's reviews:

TF's response to Dat-Boi: They posted multiple reviews over the course of multiple chapters. I'll answer each and everyone one of them starting with Dat-Boi. Yes, my grammar is bad. I use Grammarly and I don't have a beta, I just don't have anyone to read or go over my chapters. I am not letting anyone who I know read these chapters. It just that I don't trust them, this is a hobby. It's something I do for fun, I do my best and I take my time. A chapter per story takes me about a week to write up. Polish, and do what I can. I'll update and fix the grammar in my stories when I can. I got college and other more important things to do, but I am doing my best. Yes, if you want to make fun of my grammar is poor that's fine. I am a college student so go right ahead. I'm not an English major, I'm sure you can see that. I mean this is no talk back or anything. I know full well where my grammar sits lol. The Kokabiel thing I can fix no biggie. I still appreciate the support too, I do try my best with grammar. I do take my time, while also re-reading my stories to find any more errors or inconsistencies. Yes, the list is insane, but Itachi WILL BE 100% HEALED at the end of the New season. I'm saying that Albion DOES NOT have the power to divide an illness that Itachi was given by something above the gods. So, that's why Itachi has it, also to tone his power down. That's what the writer for Naruto had to do, Itachi was so powerful. He could take on Madara in a one vs. one and come out on top.


TF's Response to stylo1: Phenex are an ingredient, but don't regenerate limbs… well I know they can reattach limbs. Remember Phenex's can regenerate limbs, but Itachi couldn't regenerate a limb using Phenex Tears. Phenex Tears WILL NOT cure his blindness or sickness. NO matter what, no matter it makes sense TO heal Itachi's sickness. I need something to weaken him to some matter. Regardless how much everyone hates it, and why there can't be an overpowered Itachi as is. Because Itachi WOULDN'T be reincarnated into a devil first of all. Also, Itachi had no reason, in the beginning, to be so powerful. Regardless of who it was, who Itachi is, he's still human on the inside. We all have our own shit to deal with. Literally everyday problems just like us, take away his devil abilities, his Sharingan abilities, and everything else. What do you get? A normal human, with human needs, wants, issues, the whole package. Itachi never got to work this shit out in the Elemental Nations, and sure as hell didn't want to in the DxD world. However, this time he has people that care, this is character growth. Regardless of how much you guys hate that I gave Itachi the disease. Yes, my grammar is horrible, I won't argue with you on that one.


LuckyBastard6969: Ok... I'll be short and to the point. My only problem with this story is how you put Itachi way off character. He's been represented as a stoic throughout the story has he lost his cool even in the face of adversary, part of what attracted me to him. I don't think he would also fluster when Rias gave him a kiss on his forehead. Your writing gives him more expressions, which ain't wrong if the character is an OC or a character like Naruto but if you are going by his canon personality, then you are way off. Well like I told you above. This is my only problem with this story. Might have to touch up on the grammar a bit, otherwise, it's good.

TF's response: Honestly, I don't think I am too wrong with his personality. Itachi in the Elemental Nations had two attachments. The village, and Sasuke. Yes, he had his parents, but you know why he had to kill them. We all know the story, but keep in mind Itachi was surrounded by death. Constant fighting and death, that's a lot. That's why he would become stoic as he is now. BUT he was reborn in this new world! With his memories intact, along with his abilities and more some. However, he grew up with normal parents, a little brother, a normal life. Went to school, got good grades, took training lessons, and taught other kids. Itachi was super smart, he got to do what he has always wanted. To live a normal childhood, to have such loving parents like Miki and Gorou? OF COURSE, Itachi is going to open up? I don't care how much you want me to keep stoic to his usual self. I don't mind having his moments when he is stoic and usually keeps to himself. That's Itachi I know, but when it comes to friends or family. He's going to open up regardless of what you say, Itachi literally has friends now. He has a family, he has a potential girlfriend, well girlfriends, that's why he's so different than he is now. Don't you think this experience would change someone? I mean look at Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul? Complete 180, so I don't think it's unlikely that Itachi would be able to be himself a bit. I mean come on, I don't care how much you want to disagree, that's if you want to. No matter the guy, no matter who it is, you're going to react to a girl wanting to love you. Kiss you, be with you, be your support, and more. I've never had a girlfriend, nor am I looking for one. I do my best with relationships, but I know for a damn fact. What if a girl tries to be sexy towards you, you're going to react regardless. Though, if you can control yourself is another question entirely. Anyways, that's enough of my rant. Onto the story.


Last Chapter

Itachi opened the folder and looked at the pictures inside of it. What he saw shook him to the core. Itachi felt his hearing go away and heard no one and felt nothing. As if he was a programmed machine, he picked the picture up. It was a giant, earthen-colored humanoid entity with a mummified appearance, a body shaped like a robe, and a number of spike-like protrusions on its back. The statue has nine eyes the size of an adult man, which remained closed, "Gedo Mazo… or also known as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. At least this is what our Leader of the Akatsuki called it."

Everyone seeing Itachi's face turns almost pale scared them, not a lot of things doesn't scare Itachi. Maybe his friends dying, but anything else no. To see Itachi, knowing how strong he is, scared them at how silent and how pale his face went. Sirzechs put his hand under his chin and narrowed his eyes, "Itachi we have no records or idea what this thing is. You seem to recognize it, what is it?"


This Chapter (Stairs Before The Shrine)

Itachi was told after their meeting with Sirzechs to head towards a shrine. Itachi was making his way up the stairs with his eyes closed. He was just focusing on making it to the top, and also felt Akeno making her way down to meet him. Once the two met in the middle Akeno had her usual smile on her face, "Oh hey Akeno." Itachi called out.

Akeno put her hand up waving to him, "Hello Itachi it's good to see, glad you could make it." Itachi realized that Akeno was also wearing her Shrine maiden outfit too. Itachi remembered hearing from Grayfia that Akeno's mother was a Shrine maiden, not only that. The Himejima were a clan as well adding more to Akeno's name.

"Yep, Sirzechs wanted us to meet Michael-sama so let's get to it." Akeno gestured to Itachi to follow her. Akeno hid it well, but he could tell that she was nervous, "Where is Rias? I'd be sure she would be here since it's important?"

"She is with Sirzechs-sama for her final meeting, I'm here to make sure things go swimmingly with Michael-sama," Akeno responded with an elegant tone in her voice, but yet it also held fear. Like Itachi said before, she is good at hiding it. The two came to the top with Itachi looking at the place, "Buchou held it for me after the previous priest passed away.

"Is he the White Emperor?" Itachi and Akeno both looked up to see a golden light glow. Just then a twelve-winged angel appeared before them, "I am Michael, the leader of the arc angels. It's a pleasure to meet you, Hyoudou Itachi."

Itachi gave a polite bow, "It's a pleasure to meet you as well Michael-sama." Stood back up as Michael landed on the ground.

"Let us go inside." Akeno suggested which the two went into the shrine to further talk about the meeting. Akeno knelt between them along with Itachi doing the same sitting in a traditional Japanese pose. While Michael stood there gazing into Itachi's eyes to see his soul. Michael had a smile on his face.

"It seems that Sirzechs was quite right about you Hyoudou Itachi, it seems you really are an interesting reincarnate devil." Michael was very pleased by how clean and pure Itachi's soul really was. Michael could see the scarring and pain in Itachi's soul, he could tell it was otherworldly. "Your soul is quite pure, it seems you've lived a very good life. I sense no evil in your heart, nothing but love and kindness. A true devil with a pure heart."

"Thank you for the praise Michael-sama but the means don't always justify the ends." Itachi responded appropriately which Michael decided to drop the topic.

"I see, well we're here on limited time." Michael walked forward as a bright light of gold shined in front of Itachi. The sword had an appearance of a European sword with a reddish-purple grip and a golden hilt with stylized crosses at the edges of the guard. The guard resembles four golden dragon claws sticking upwards. It has a grey hilt, a red diamond design imprinted on it surrounded by four blue lines that curve slightly, and a golden pommel in the shape of a cone-like arrow. The blade is also notched three times on both sides near the bottom and the fuller, which reaches slightly above the notches, has a gold edge in the shape of a large pearl and the rest is colored purple.

"A holy sword?" Itachi was a little surprised by this.

"Itachi, this is Ascalon, known as the Dragon Slayer. I would like to give this to you. Maybe I should be a bit clearer, try merging it with your sacred gear. I also can sense that you're also a natural holy sword wielder. You would be able to wield Durandal like Xenovia could." Michael sent the sword towards Itachi who held his hands out. Like a swordsman accepting the sword with two hands bowing his head to Michael, "I've heard how powerful you truly were, I've continued to only hear good things about you. Seeing your soul clearly tells me that your worthy of this sword. You would use this to protect your loved ones. This will significantly boost your strength. I feel that this meeting will bring the three factions together." Michael said with a smile appearing on his face.

Itachi nodded his head as his wings came out of his back. He then tucked the wings away and summoned a similar gauntlet to Issei's. The difference it didn't have the spiky design like his did. Itachi laid the sword over, "If I remember correctly the sacred gear responds to the wielder's feelings so." Within seconds of Itachi saying that the sword disappeared seeping into Itachi's forearm. Itachi was able to successfully fuse the sword with his sacred gear. With some time to spare Itachi had to ask, "I need to ask you for a favor."

Michael held his hand up to stop Itachi, "I'm deeply sorry, but I am on limited time. However, I have a few things for you. I've heard of your sickness, Gabriel and I worked together to make these for you." Michael handed Itachi bags with labels on them. The labels said, 'Arc Angel Feather,' with another vial saying, 'Arc angel grace in a vial.'

Itachi's eyes widen, "This is almost all of the ingredients we need to create the devil's grace." Itachi looked up to Michael who nodded his head happily.

"I'm sorry for leaving so suddenly but I do need to go." However, before Michael could leave his eyes caught glimpse of Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan as he said, Tsukuyomi. Akeno realized what Itachi did and quickly released the jutsu. Once Michael came to her smiled with a warm smile on his face, "Please take it easy Itachi you're pushing yourself too much, I can see how much your stamina has gone down. I hope you get cured soon, I'll see what I can do for Irina and Asia." Michael then disappeared in a golden light which Akeno quickly looked towards Itachi worriedly.

Itachi let a couple of breaths out, lately, his stamina has gone down. Asia's healing helped make the painless, but it was becoming increasingly harder for him to breathe, "So, you mind telling me what you did? I know devils aren't able to visit a shrine just like this."

"Michael-sama and I made some preparations along with Ascalon too. Made it where it can be used by devils, but it didn't matter. Him seeing you with the natural ability to wield light was already great to begin with." Akeno knelt next to a table in front of them and poured tea for Itachi.

Itachi knowing the tradition for a long time gently blew on his tea and took a sip. A smile went across his face, "Delicious, it tastes just like how Kaa-san made her tea."

Akeno nodded her head in thanks, "Thank you." Akeno also didn't want to pry in what Itachi's favor for Michael was.

"No, I mean I really do appreciate it. It tastes like Mikoto Kaa-san's tea, yes my current Kaa-san makes good tea as well." Itachi placed the cup back down seeing Akeno's smile widen on her face. There was a bit of silence between the two, but Itachi decided now was better than never to ask Akeno, "Akeno when were you going to tell the rest of us you were part fallen?" Itachi asked opening his eyes to see the frown on Akeno's face.

Akeno seems to metaphorically curl up into a ball, that's the look she had on her face, "I-I see… I figured I would have to tell you guys one day." Akeno had a small smile appear on her face as she turned to the side. It looked like waterworks was a calling because the tears began to appear at the corner of her eyes, "My birth was the result of a union between a human and a fallen angel. Baraqiel, was my Tou-san… and my Kaa-san, Shuri Himejima, a human. We lived in a shrine somewhere, it's been so long." Akeno's hair covered her eyes, "One day she found him wounded, she helped nurse him back to health. The two fell in love, and the result was me." Akeno stood up and turned her back towards Itachi and let her kimono down a bit. Her wings appeared, her right-wing being a devil wing. Then her left being a fallen wing. Itachi could see the dark, obsidian black wing that Akeno had, "As you can see, I have a fallen wing and a devil wing. I thought being a devil could rid me of this filthy wing. I tried to go to Rias for this, but it still didn't work. It only made me more into an abomination. Perhaps it's fitting for a woman like me to have this filthy blood running through my veins." Akeno turned to Itachi with a sorrowful look on her face, "So… what do you think of an abomination being like me."

Itachi closed his eyes for a moment making the air seem almost ominous until he opened them. Itachi stood up as his right eye morphed into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Itachi also laid a genjutsu on himself covered in the blood of the Uchiha members he killed. Along with his ominous Susanoo ribcage and head forming behind him, "Tell me, does a person like me considered a monster? Murder? Child slayer? A clan killer?" Itachi walked up to Akeno as she didn't move from her spot.

She put her kimono back up and put her hand up to her mouth. She swiftly nodded her head 'no', "Itachi you and I are different." Akeno tried to argue but Itachi had none of it.

"Yes, we are different, on the outside that is." Itachi lifted the genjutsu on himself and turned everything else off. Akeno lifted her head at Itachi with a shocked look on her face, "Tell me something Akeno, if you hate your blood so much." Itachi walked up and leaned his face in close towards Akeno, "Do you really hate your mother too?"

Akeno blushed a bit and realized the error of her own words. The words Itachi spoke were so simple and yet held so much meaning. Akeno was surprised at how blind she was at her own hate towards fallen angels. That she unintentionally said she hated her mother's blood that ran through her veins. Akeno could see how sincere and worried Itachi was about her. He made her feel wanted, normal, Akeno almost forgot that she was even a devil and a fallen angel. Akeno was quiet as her hair hid her eyes with some embarrassment. Akeno shook her head 'no' "I loved my Kaa-san… I did love my Tou-san too. It is just when the rest of my family hated me, they hated that my Kaa-san had a child with a being who fell from heaven. So, that when they tried to kill me and my Kaa-san. She threw herself over me to protect me… h-he." Akeno choked a bit, "He didn't show… he didn't come to protect us… she died… she died protecting me." Akeno cried as tears fell from her cheeks freely.

Itachi gently pulled her into a hug as he rubbed her back to help her calm down. Itachi waited until she could listen to him, she currently was letting out held in emotions for a while. After a few minutes of crying, she collected herself and wiped her tears. When Akeno sat back up to look back at Itachi's eyes. She met with a poke to her forehead earning a blush from Akeno, "Don't go sullying your mother's blood, half of that blood within you is your Kaa-san's. Though if I remember correctly, Baraqiel was a general of the fallen angels. He had duties to do, but."

"That does matter if he had duties! We were his family!" Akeno quickly interrupted Itachi out of anger, she didn't yell but there was venom in her voice.

Itachi shook his head a bit and continued, "I didn't finish Akeno, what I was going to say. If Baraqiel was a fallen angel general, he left you because maybe he was trying to protect you? As a general, if he was wounded and nursed back to health. He would have had pursuers, how else would have he been injured so badly? If there were beings strong enough to hurt a general of the Fallen Angels. It means you and your Kaa-san were in danger. Him being there put you two in danger, would he be able to fend off swarms of devils and angels to save you two? Without you two getting into the crossfire. They could easily take you both as hostages, kill him, kill you, and then your mother. I have no doubt he wanted to be there." Itachi's words caused Akeno's eyes widen as her thinking began to go into overdrive. Her thoughts were trying to come up with some other reasonable explanation for why he didn't come, "Do you think your Kaa-san would want this? You to hate your own Tou-san? The very man that gave her you. Your Kaa-san would be upset that you feel this way Akeno. I have no doubt in my mind that Baraqiel was stopped from saving you and Shuri. Even if something or someone didn't stop Baraqiel from coming, do you think your Kaa-san would want you to think this way of him?"

Akeno looked down at her own hands and frowned, her hands began to shake as he anger and own hate for her father came to the surface, "HOW!? HOW COULD THAT BE!? HE WASN'T THERE! HE JUST UP AND LEFT! HOW CAN I TRUST A MAN LIKE HIM!" Akeno lost it, her own anger and hatred for her father surface. She wants to deny it and keeps wanting to deny it.

"Then what good does that do for you? Continuously hate who you are for something you didn't do. Hate something that you have no control over, I was born originally as an Uchiha. I didn't ask to be born during a war. I have a choice in this new life, before I didn't. Sometimes life hands up a bad deal of cards. However, the hand you were drawn can be changed into something worthwhile if you work at it. You didn't cause the deaths of me and Issei, yes it was fallen angels, but not you, and yet you still blame yourself or think we would hate you." Itachi sternly walked up to Akeno asserting his own dominance over Akeno, he wanted Akeno to hear him out, "You need to understand that there are more sides to the stories Akeno. Understand that your father was loyal to the Grigori just as you are loyal to Rias. Baraqiel was called by his master, and he was forced to leave. Did you ever think for a second about how he felt? How he felt, learning his wife he fell in love with perished? Because he listened to the higher-ups to return home? That was his screw-up, that's something he'll live for the rest of his life. However, the reason he keeps going is knowing your still alive. You're still his daughter as much as you want to hate him and deny your blood." Itachi took a moment for that to sink in for Akeno, Akeno almost went back into her own shell. She just wanted to shut the world out. Go back to acting like everything was fine, why as life so hard! Itachi saw the look in her eye, "Don't think life is hard Akeno, life isn't fair, but we take our own lives for ourselves. Stop living in past and stop hating who you are. You are Akeno Himejima, the daughter of a human mother, Shuri Himejima, and Baraqiel the Fallen Angel General. It doesn't matter the ties of your past; it matters in what you decide to do now. What matters is who you are not who your tied to with blood" Itachi wrapped his arms around Akeno pulling her in for another hug.

Akeno simply cried, she cried into Itachi's chest. Akeno cried into his chest like she has never done before, the last time she cried this hard. Was when her mother was killed in front of her, learning she was gone forever. Akeno knew she was a hypocrite and had no right to complain about life. Look at Itachi? He was so much better than he was, he continues to be himself every day. Itachi knew what he did in the past, he excepted it, even if he did not like it. While she can't even accept who she really was. She knew she was a terrible friend to Rias, when Rias needed her most, she could not step up to the plate. She could not use her holy magic as a fallen angel. All because she kept rejecting herself, it resulted in Itachi having to help her again. Akeno cried for another few minutes until she slowly came to a stop with some hiccups here and there. She wiped her tears as she looked up to Itachi, "S-so… you don't hate fallen angels?"

"Some yes." Itachi closed his eyes thinking back towards Raynare, "You, never, you're very important to me Akeno. You, Rias, Irina, Asia, Koneko, Kiba, Gasper, and Issei… you're all some of the best friends I've ever had. Dare I even say another family too, I just want you to accept who you really are. It will bring closure to you, and Rias, Rias is going to have a talk with you about this one day. Currently, she is still growing as a king, you, as her subject is something she needs to talk to you about. I have no doubt that one-day Akeno, that you'll be able to stand by Rias's side. Be the queen Rias has always wanted you to be, be the best person you can be. So, you can tell the world that your part fallen, devil, and human. Be proud of where you came from Akeno, your already so beautiful. Being part fallen angel only makes you more amazing." Itachi placed a hand on Akeno's head. He wanted to get his point across and show them that he really cared about her. They were a second family to him, friends are temporary, but family is forever.

Akeno smiled, she was glad that he accepted for who she really was, "I've decided." Akeno pushed Itachi to the ground as she placed her hands on his chest. She leaned in, "I know I've done some bad things, your right. I had a hard time using my holy lighting for Rias, I know I wasn't a good friend for her. So… thank you Itachi, thank you. For seeing me for who I really am, making me want to accept who I am. So I've decided."

"I hope I said everything correctly." Itachi was glad that he helped her, but what did she decide on? Itachi realized that Akeno was straddling him with her hands on his chest and her face nearing his neck, "Decided what? ... Akeno…" Itachi began to worry.

"I'm okay being third." Akeno said with a harsh whisper, "Don't make me repeat it again?" Akeno lifted her head up to look Itachi in the eyes, "What is a girl to do when a guy like you says something like this? There's nothing but to fall in love with you." Itachi also realized when Akeno pushed him down her top came down too. She was pressing her bare chest up against him, "You know third isn't a bad spot, it makes it seems like I'm having an affair. It's making me so hot just thinking about it."

"Akeno, you know that's not what I want." Itachi sat up with Akeno still hugging him closely.

"Yes, I know, but you've stolen my heart? What am I supposed to do now? Fufu, of course, I'm going to do what I can to get you. I expect dates Itachi I know Rias and Irina are ahead of me, but thanks to you I feel like I can be myself. I can drop this mask I always wear around everyone." Akeno stopped the hugging to look at Itachi seriously she felt as if hundreds of pounds of weight were lifted off her shoulders, "I feel like I can talk to the others about it. Issei and Asia too, it won't be easy, but they won't hate me… right?"

"If Issei were to hate you, that is the day he turns gay. We all know that isn't happening, Hell would freeze over before that even happened." Itachi added with a joke making Akeno laugh.

Akeno got off Itachi putting her kimono up. Once they were standing again Akeno went up to Itachi and place her lips on Itachi's lips. Once the two separated after a few seconds, Akeno said, "That's for everything you did for me today. Thank you, I sure hope we get to know one another on a deeper meaning. I expect you to take responsibility." Akeno moved back with a big smile on her face. A look that Itachi has never seen before, a smile of just pure happiness. Ease, it as if Akeno was beginning to accept who she was. It would be a long road, but she will come to terms with who she is.

Itachi walked up to Akeno and placed a hand on her head, "Good, I'm glad you're going to accept who you are Akeno. I've come to terms with who I was not too long ago. I just hope your road is easier." Itachi then removed his hand giving Akeno a smile on his face. Akeno really liked the way Itachi smiled, "Wow his smile really is amazing to see. I just hope I can see that again someday." Before Itachi could move away Akeno place both hands on his cheeks and went up on her toes. Akeno placed her lips solidly over Itachi's allowing herself to really taste his lips. His lips were sweet, they tasted like Dango. Itachi didn't want to push it away, he didn't want to seem rude. Though, it's not like he hated it either, he knew what was happening.

As much as Itachi wanted to deny it, he was forming a harem. Much to his own chagrin.

A/N: However we like it! Lol

"Well, what do we have going on in here?" Rias walked up to the doorway with her hand crossed under her bust. Itachi and Akeno both turned their heads to Rias; Itachi didn't even know what to say. Then again, he isn't cheating or anything because he isn't in a relationship with anyone. Though, it was in his best interest to stay quiet, "Did you get the sword?" Rias added an annoyed tone to her voice.

"Yes." Itachi simply replied.

"Did he return to heaven successfully?" Rias stated again keeping her annoyed tone.

"Yes." Itachi stated blandly not wanting to escalate the situation any further.

"Then there's no more reasoning for still being here. Let's go." Rias let a huff out turning around and began walking down the stairs.

"I envy Buchou whose first on the list." Akeno giggled as Rias stopped for a moment but continued to walk away.

Itachi let a low sigh out, "You know it's still too early to choose any of you, I may know more about Rias than you Akeno. Though, it still doesn't mean I can't get to know you. Though I do have a question for you Akeno… what do you plan to do? What's your goal? What's your ambition in life besides me?" Itachi began to follow Rias in a quiet fashion, the words he just spoke to Akeno made her smile. They were words telling her not to doubt who she is, and to look towards a goal now that she knows who she is.

Itachi caught up to Rias as they walked back to his house, "Itachi I need to ask about our talk the other day. When you said I was lacking qualities in a king, I know your right but you're also wrong." Rias stated sternly which made Itachi raise an eyebrow.

Itachi smiled he was glad Rias caught on, "Oh, I am how so?" Itachi was glad Rias has figured it out. What Itachi did tell Rias the other day was helpful, but the entire talk was also an important lesson for Rias too.

"I am Rias Gremory, I may be your master and your friend. But I want you to always know and remember I am your king." Rias turned to Itachi with a stern look in her face, she smiled, "I am your king, and you live for my sake, just like the same day I saved you and Issei. I will accept take the words you spoke to me that day, but don't you forget that I am still your king. Your superior than I am, but that doesn't mean you can go around telling me how to command my peerage. You are part of my peerage, so I expect you to act like it. When I call for you, you come, when you cry, I cry, when you fall, we all fall, when we succeed together, we celebrate together. Don't forget that, if I fail, then I fail you, as a King, I look after my subjects. Meaning I'll do everything in my power for you guys. As I know you'll do the same in return." Itachi smiled at Rias's words she was growing and learning to become a king. Learning how your peerage felt and how to deal with their issues good to listen to and address. However, getting stripped down by one of your underlings is something a king should not tolerate, "I know I have a long way to go for a king, I won't stop my ways of coddling you and loving you all. You're still my family, and you give me strength. I'll moderate how I control my peerage; it isn't your say-so. You may help and give me ideas, but never again shall I tolerate insubordination, is that clear?"

Itachi did not bow to Rias, "As you wish my king, I am sorry for offending you in any way. Though, there is one policy I do always uphold. Even if do go against your word, a man told me an important rule in this world or any world. In this supernatural world, those who break the rules are scum, that's true, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum." Itachi walked up next to Rias and placed a hand on her shoulder, "You're improving Rias, keep it up. Also, don't try to avoid the elephant on the path, I know you already had the talk with Akeno before the Shrine meeting, right? You also talked to Koneko at one point too?"

"You got that right, but it seems Akeno, and I still have more personal matters to negotiate." Rias's face turned cold, her face may look cold. However, in Rias's eyes, Itachi could read jealousy within her soul.

Itachi walked past Rias on purpose, "You need to work harder than ever before Rias, right now. You may be a king, but I'm still far above you. Now I don't like stroking my ego, but if it's to help you grow stronger. Then I'll gladly do it, you may be a king, Rias, a king to a few subjects, but can you be king over a Kami-sama?" Itachi stated with his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning as he turned to walk towards his house. Rias swore she saw a golden crown appear on Itachi's head, along with a cape following him. She could see loyal subjects on their knees as Itachi walked past them.

Rias simply whispered, "King of kings… a king that stands above another king… could they be considered a Kami-sama?" Rias narrowed her eyes and thought about that, it was a lot to think about. Plan, and figure out how she can work on improving herself. While also helping her peerage grow as well. Itachi knew it was really ecocentric of him to say that, but if it would help Rias grow to new heights. So be it, he wants his family to succeed, he wants everyone to be happy. He couldn't be any prouder that they pushed themselves to go far in live.


Later at Night

Itachi made his way into their home he went upstairs and changed. He put on a white T-shirt and a pair of shorts. He laid in bed and closed his eyes and began to relax. It was peaceful until… well there was until a flash of red light. Itachi opened his eyes to find Rias and Akeno there in nightgowns, "What's going on?" Itachi sat up to the edge of his bed.

"We had another meeting with Sirzechs-Nii-sama before we turned in. Since Akeno was with me, I asked her if she wanted to stay here. I hope you don't mind." Rias said with a smile thinking back to their conversation together. It was the least she could do for Akeno, Itachi only helped solidify Akeno's acceptance as a fallen angel. Rias now knows that has fallen for him, it's only a matter of time now to who Itachi wants. For now, Rias was willing to play nice. Well, play nice for the next eight or so hours when they sleep.

"Yes, I am sorry though for how I acted. Surprising you like that." Akeno bowed, she really didn't think when she jumped on him, then kissed him without warning. Though, the kissing part she didn't really regret.

"I heard everything including what you said to her. That's my Itachi." Rias leaned in with a smile. Rias sat down next to him on his bed and Akeno too.

"Ara, ara Rias. He's my Itachi from now on, too." Akeno grabbed Itachi's right arm.

"Hold on Akeno! Even though we're best friends you need to know when to back off!" Rias grabbed his left arm leaning into Itachi.

Akeno and Rias both moved towards one another with both of their breasts lightly touching Itachi's face. They began to ignore him as if he wasn't even there, "This is a serious battle with no holds barred. How can the King say something so cowardly?" Akeno replied with a condescending tone with her eyes closed.

Rias narrowed her eyes a bit, and she did not falter at her own subject's insubordination, "If you're going to act that way, then I won't back down, either!" Before Itachi knew it, Rias pulled his face into her breasts. Itachi wanted to pull away, but then again struggling would just cause this to go on longer than it needs to.

"Fine by me!" Akeno added pulling Itachi into her own chest, Akeno even rested her cheek on the top of his head.

Itachi let this happen thinking to himself, "I don't even know what's going on anymore, I give up. I will never understand women." "That may be true, but you're one of the few who do understand. You just don't like owning up to it or acting on it." Albion jabbed making Itachi's eyebrow twitch, "I'm sorry, but I'm currently in the war between three women who love me. I need time for Rias, then there's Akeno and Irina. What do you want me to do? Accept one of their feelings while smashing the other's feelings too?" "Or you could just date all three, polygamy is common among devils. Especially wielders of the red and white emperors, they were always surrounded by women." Albion chuckled making Itachi want to strangle him.

Just then Itachi saw Irina standing at the doorway. There were tears in her eyes, "That's not fair! I won't let you! Two get ahead of me!" Irina jumped towards Itachi with her bust pushing into his face. Before Itachi knew it he was sleeping with three girls in his bed, "Isn't this supposed to be Issei's pinnacle of paradise… this isn't what I exactly had in mind for my own."


Morning

Itachi woke up to find a naked Akeno, to his left, Irina to his right, and Rias facing the other way with her posterior in full view for him. Itachi had a tint of pink stain hic cheeks looking back up to the ceiling, "I swear I feel like I'm having less and less room on my own bed."


Later That Day, ORC Room, Evening

Itachi was in the clubroom with Rias, Akeno, Issei, Irina, Asia, and Saji, "All right! Let's go!"

"Hai." Everyone responded.

Tonight, was the night of all three factions gathering to talk about peace.

"Gasper, you be a good boy while you're here, okay?" Rias commanded, "I don't want your powers running wild if anything happens."

"Hai." Gasper popped out of a box.

"Koneko will stay here with you. Please look after him for me, Koneko." Rias turned to Koneko as she nodded her head while eating on some dango.

"Wait… I have something to share." Irina called out making everyone turn their heads. Irina was holding up a vial of blood in her hands. Just then she was met with a whack over the head by Itachi, "Ow!"

"You went to confession, didn't you? Xenovia offered to help you out and found a priest willing to hear your confession." Itachi looked at Irina upset that she went through that, the amount of mental and physical pain she would be in.

"Irina, doing a confession is like a death sentence for a devil! You need to be more careful!" Rias walked up to Irina giving her a once-over, but Irina pulled her head away and shook her head.

"It's more than enough, I don't regret it! Itachi gave up an eye for me! Some mental and physical pain is nothing! Along with his past! I've been nothing but useless this entire time! I want to be able to do something! I did nothing when Kokabeil showed up! When Vali showed up too, I couldn't do anything either!" Irina argued back making everyone stay quiet.

Itachi walked up placing a hand on her shoulder, "I appreciate it Irina, thank you." Itachi gave her a hug making Irina blush as her twin tails seem to flatten in embarrassment.

"Gasper, be good, here you can play with this." Issei walked up to Gasper handing him a gaming device.

"Thank you, Issei-senpai!" Gasper smiled happily with the game in his hand.

"I also have lots of snacks." Koneko stated placing a box on the table.

"Thank you, Koneko!" Gasper smiled happily.

"Alright, we need to get going." Rias called out with everyone beginning to file out of the room. The group began to walk towards the meeting room. Once they all walked into the room Itachi saw Sirzechs, Serafall, Azazel, and Michael. Along with Sona, Tsubaki, and Xenovia standing next to Michael, and Vali by Azazel.

When Itachi made eye contact with Vali the two had a staredown. Until there was a cough from Rias which Itachi followed her and their group standing behind Sirzechs and Serafall.

"I'm assuming the majority of you know one another. Allow me to introduce them to those who don't know them. This is my Imouto and her peerage. They did very well in their recent battle with Kokabeil." Sirzechs praised his little sister and her peerage's job in defending the area.

"Thank you we appreciate your efforts." Michael said thankful for everyoneshelp.

"Yeah, sorry about that." Azazel said as his eyes made their way towards Itachi's, "My guy got a little out of hand." Azazel stated as if it wasn't even a big deal.

"All representatives are here, let's begin." Sirzechs spoke with everyone nodding their heads in agreement. Rias and Sona then proceed to tell the leaders of the factions everything from Raynare all the way up to Kokabeil and the holy swords.

"These are the incidents in which I, Rias Gremory, and my peerage took part." Rias stepped out further than everyone else along with Sona.

"I, Sona Sitri, testify that she has said nothing but the truth." Sona backed Rias letting the higher-ups know that all events and experiences were true.

"I see, thank you. You may step back." Sirzechs called out.

"Thank you, Rias-chan! Sona-chan!" Serafall turned her head towards them with a smile on her face. Sona's eyes just widen in embarrassment. She turned and walked back to her spot.

Sirzechs spoke up, "I would like to hear from the General of the Fallen Angel's opinion no Rias's report."

"There's not much to say. Kokabeil acted of his own accord." Azazel answered truthfully.

"I see, so he acted on his own. I figured that much." Sirzechs commented.

"I was waiting to find out what he was up to." Azazel closed his eyes and let a chuckle out, "Looks like he never expected me to come to the city personally. I like this place." Azazel opened his eyes looking at Issei making Issei just glare at him. Rias didn't like it how Azazel intruded into her territory without her consent.

"Let's stay on topic." Sirzechs pleaded since he felt the tension rise.

"I got the Blaze Meteor Dragon King to take care of it! However, it seems a certain White One already took care of him. I'm mighty impressed." Azazel praised Itachi for his strength, and his strength he only recently acquired after being reincarnated, "Kokabiel is no pushover."

"Our concern here is Kokabeil's motives." Michael chimed in looking worriedly, "He said that he was not content with your decisions."

"Yeah, he was pretty mad that I decided to pull out when we were on a roll. I've got no interest in war anyways," Azazel metaphorically shrugged his shoulders not really caring.

"He could have caused another unnecessary war; I advise the governor to check your people's privileges. I don't take kindly to those who harm my friends or make fun of them." Itachi stated coldly making Azazel fully aware of how dangerous Itachi is, even if he is ill.

"I agree, he was an unstable individual, then." Serafall added in her own comment, making Itachi see Serafall's serious nature. In all honesty, he hoped he never got on her bad side.

"Well, I think that's enough of small chat. The White Dragon took care of Kokabeil, and I've heard he was sealed away. What did you use and how do you have it?" Azazel asked interested in Itachi's powers, "Also, let's just sign the peace treaty, already. Enough lollygagging." It wanted to ignore Azazel's request to see his powers.

Itachi sighed but before more was said Sirzechs spoke up, "Yes, I do agree, but as a sign of this. Can we maybe see about curing Itachi here? I've heard we have all the ingredients to create the devil's grace. He will be important for this meeting will he not? All three sides of the factions come together to help heal him.?" Sirzechs suggested with everyone nodding their heads.

"Wait, we're still missing." Rias was interrupted by Azazel.

"I have the raw Senjutsu chakra, just say I'm an avid collector." Azazel smirked holding out the vial with different magic seals and runes on it. Mainly to keep the Senjutsu intact for a very long time.

Itachi unsealed all of the ingredients with Michael creating a bowl to put all the ingredients into. Sirzechs even had the list and began to read it all off while each ingredient was put in, "First we need the blood of the first Lucifer Descendant." Sirzechs spoke up which Vali walked up and cut his hand with a blade causing blood to pour into the bowl. This made everyone's eyes widen in shock.

"Yes, I am Vali Lucifer. I was born as the son of Razevan, the son of Rizevim, and a human woman, making myself a half-breed." Vali stated calmly as he made sure four ounces were in the bowl.

Sirzechs then continued down the list, "Next an Arc Angel Feather, pure raw magic from a dragon god." Sirzechs stated which Michael put the feather in and again Azazel poured the vial of raw magic from a Dragon God into the bowl. This earned look from everyone wondering where he got the blood.

"Just say that Ophis owed me a favor." Azazel chuckled not really caring for what everyone thought.

"Next is a Phenex tear." Sirzechs read off, this time he poured the tear into the bowl.

"Finally arc angel grace." Michael pulled out a vial and poured it into the bowl.

"Now, stir it until it turns red." Sirzechs read off as Serafall summoned a spoon and stirred the bowl. The liquid inside began to mix, along with the arc angel feather breaking down. The bowl began to steam and simmer with the opposing forces burning one another out. A few minutes passed as Serafall then poured the liquid into two vials.

"There is enough for two doses, meaning two cures. Use them wisely." Sirzechs finished Ajuka's letter for the ingredients.

Itachi held up the one vial and opened it, "Is there any side effects?"

"The medicine will purge anything within you. So, it will hurt, you will most likely pass out." Sirzechs added reading the ps. from Ajuka at the bottom of the letter.

"I see." Itachi slugged the medicine down as he immediately felt it work. Itachi did actually drop the genjutsu from his left eye since he couldn't focus. However, his vision began to come back to his left eye shocking everyone. Itachi felt his lungs burning, along with his eyes feeling like they were on fire.

Itachi fell on one knee, "Itachi/Nii-san!" Issei, Asia, Kiba, Sona, Akeno, Irina, and Rias shouted with Rias kneeling down to help keep Itachi up.

Itachi found it very painful to breathe, it was as if someone deliberately forced him to breathe in embers from a fire. He couldn't breathe at all like someone cut him off from oxygen. It also just burned to try to breathe, Itachi didn't see it, but everyone else saw the medicine at work. Wherever the medicine traveled it was glowing. The medicine lit up Itachi's body like a Christmas tree. (A/N: SPOIL ALERT IF YOU WATCH SUPERNATURAL! If you've watched Supernatural and gotten far into the seasons. Itachi's eyes, mouth, and his chest is glowing as if an angel was killed or was purifying a demon from the show). Itachi's vision was given back along with his lungs and eyes fully healed from the disease. After a few minutes, which felt like half an hour for Itachi, the pain subsided. Itachi felt extremely weak and seemingly passed out. Rias gently laid his head on her lap, "I'm so glad he's better. This has been a huge bother since we first found out." Rias gently brushed some of Itachi's hair back into place. She as glad to know that Itachi was healed, and he would be alright.

"Continuing our discussions, this standstill we're in. Is not good for the world? Don't you think?" Azazel spoke up placing his elbow on the armrest and his hand on his chin. He smirked looking at Rias tending to Itachi and Issei standing next to Asia.

"The ones who started the war, god, and the Satans, are gone, after all." Michael stated with a solemn look on his face. This made Asia and Irina flinch and look down at the ground. Xenovia, who was standing next to Michael also still hated the news of that.
"That's why we've got three guys here who, although not part of our standoff, have the power to change the world. Some more powerful than others." Azazel said hinting towards Itachi, Issei, and Vali, "Red Dragon Emperor, White Dragon Emperor, and Blaze Meteor Dragon King. I'd like your input on this."

"All I want is to fight Itachi at his strongest. A true Dragon Emperor to challenge me." Vali simply stated leaning against the wall holding his hand up gesturing as he talked.

"You don't need a war to find tough guys." Azazel commented moving his eyes to look at Vali, "Now Red Dragon Emperor." Azazel closed his eyes and then opened them focused on Issei.

"Well, Uhhh… That's a little too much to process…" Issei put his left hand up and his right hand behind his head. He was a little overwhelmed being put on the spotlight.

"In that case, let me break it down for you." Azazel put his hands in front of him and clasped them together with his fist in the air and his elbows on the table, "Hyoudou Issei, if we're at war, you can't sleep with the Asia or Xenovia."

"WHA!" Asia's eyes widen with Xenovia's eyes seemingly focus on Issei while Michael was smiling at this. He knew of Xenovia's feelings for Issei.

"But…" Azazel had a perverted look appear on his face, "If we declare peace…survival and propagation of the species become the priority.

"Propagation… OF THE SPECIES?!" Issei's face had a perverted grin appear on his face with a tint of pinks on them.

"That's right…" Azazel put his right hand on his chin with his elbow on the table learning forward, "Every night, you Asia and Xenovia would be making babies. Also, Xenovia is just a newly reincarnated Angel."

"I-I see." Asia was blushing as she began to fiddle with her fingers. Asia and the others look at Xenovia in shock.

Grayfia could only sigh at Azazel's words, "Peace lets you spend every day making babies, and if there's war, you'll be making none. Nice and simple, eh?" Azazel chuckled making Issei love the idea of peace!

"Where have you been all my life! MASTER!" Issei went on his hands and knees bowing to Azazel making everyone deadpan. Even Itachi let out a disappointed sigh even while passed out he seemingly heard the conversation, "Of course I want to make love to them!" Issei shouted with excitement. Issei then scratched his cheek, "Though the baby thing might be too early, Nii-san said he kill me if I had a kid." Issei knew better not to have a kid at such a young age.

Akeno giggled a bit along with Rias thinking about alone time with Itachi, "Ara, ara I hope I get some action with my Ita-kun." Akeno came up with a nickname which Rias darted her eye towards Akeno almost threateningly.

"Hey! He is my Itachi! Not yours Akeno!" Rias argued back jealously, "If he's going to be making babies with anyone it's me!"

"Uhhh Buchou… Sirzechs-sama is right here." Kiba reminded Rias causing her to freeze up a blush. Sirzechs could only try to hold in his laughter.

"Mou, no fair Rias! I want Itachi too!" Irina argued, she wanted to be with Itachi. There was no way those two were going to outdo her.

Issei quickly coughed into his hand and extended it out making a fist, "Anyways, I'm going to use my power for Buchou and my friends! Itachi-Nii helped me train! So, there's no way in hell I'd let anyone get hurt!"

Rias though did smile proudly of Issei, he certainly has come a long way. He has done his best to hold in his perverted side. He didn't go peeking on girls or anything while Itachi was sick. Though, she wondered if that would change now that he is better.

"Oh, and that reminds me." Michael turned his head to Asia and Irina, "Itachi asked me a few days ago to do a favor for you two. He put me in a quick mind talk that lasted for a few minutes. I was in a rush, but it only lasted a few second's real-time. When I went back to heaven and found time to do it. I altered the system to allow you two to both pray. It was a suggestion that Itachi told me himself, though Itachi said to give credit to Issei. Issei told Itachi about the proposal which Itachi simply passed onto me. It was interesting to find out that you would still believe in Kami-sama so much."

"W-Wait… really?" Asia realized she hasn't tried praying to god in a long time, "I do still believe… I've always enjoyed praying… praying again is like a dream come true." Asia had some tears running down her cheeks.

"Really… Issei asked Itachi to ask you to do that." Irina was delighted and full of happiness hearing that from Michael. Michael simply nodded his head making Irina smile, being able to pray to Kami-sama again makes it that she's regained some of her previous self.

"Thank you, Issei!" Asia turned to Issei hugging him tightly.

"Thank you, Issei." Irina gave Issei a hug showing her gratitude.

"I don't think a couple of devils wishing to still pray to god is an issue. I think we can make an exception to you two." Michael looked towards Sirzechs and Azazel, "I really do think putting our trust into Itachi is the best course of action."

"Though I still have a question." Issei spoke up making everyone turn their heads to him, "I do need to ask… why did you exile Asia?" Issei had a stern look appear on his face. The one time everyone took Issei seriously. Asia looked up at Issei in utter shock and disbelief, "I need to know why… Asia had so much faith. Including Irina too, granted their circumstances were different, but still."

"Issei." Rias placed a hand on his hand trying to get him to calm down. Rias was still kneeling with Itachi resting on her lap.

"After Kami-sama died only his system remained. You could call it a force that controls protection, mercy, and miracles. I am barely keeping it running, so I had to remove all those who could cause it to malfunction." Michael explained hoping they all wouldn't be too upset or mad.

"Asia could heal devils and fallen angels." Issei pointed out which Michael nodded his head.

"We are maintained by the devotion from our adherents. We must remove any elements that could possibly harm our system." Michael continued which then Irina spoke up.

"And is that why an adherent who was accidentally told of God's passing is also at risk of doing so?" Irina walked up to the table slowly, but not all the way.

"We had no choice but to exile you and Asia Argento. Your parents are very worried about you Irina, I've told them your alive, but not your location." Michael said with a small smile with Irina nodding her head slowly. She was nervous to go see them again, she wondered what they would think of her, "I beg for your forgiveness." Michael lowered his head towards Asia and Irina.

"There is no need for that, Michael-sama. Being a faithful Christian for most of my life meant everything to me. I devoted myself to Kami-sama." Irina spoke without it hurting her, "I loved him and embraced him when I was turned into a devil. I struggled… I struggle so very hard, to the point I wanted to die, but he was there." Irina looked over towards Itachi and smiled, "He was there with me in the very beginning. Itachi helped me work through the troubles and stayed by my side. He even gave up his left eyesight for me… yes, he got it back. That does not make up my actions, which is why I want to devote my life to Rias and stand by Itachi's side one day… forever." Irina spoke with a strong conviction in her voice, "I do not regret my decision or hold any hatred towards heaven or Xenovia. I'm happy where I am today." Irina bowed to Michael, "In a way, I say thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have been with Itachi and realized my dream."

Asia walked up next to Irina, "I, too feel happy with my life. I've found so many great people here. Issei... Buchou…Akeno-senpai, Kiba-senpai, Koneko-chan, and Gasper-kun. Most of Itachi-Nii too. Itachi-Nii did so much for me, he would place a genjutsu on me that would take me to a world. That allowed me to pray to god when I wanted, to read the bible which he read himself and memorized for the world he put me in." Asia closed her eyes and smiled, "For that, I hold no anger towards you or heaven. I'm just happy to be with Issei and Itachi-Nii."

This made everyone's eyes widen hearing what Itachi did, Itachi would have gone through some excruciating pain reading the bible. Reading even a little bit of it would cause a severe headache for the devil.

Michael was upset since they were such forgiving people, "I thank you for your kind and forgiving hearts." Michael even bowed his head to them.

"Oh yeah, I heard one of my girls tricked and killed the nun over there." Azazel stated blatantly not really caring about other people's feelings.

"SOME GIRL?!" Issei walked up angrily at Azazel with his Sharingan spinning to life with three tomoes in both eyes, "That crazy bitch KILLED ASIA, NII-SAN, AND I! IT WAS OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOU!" Issei was about to throw hands.

"Your right I am responsible for my subordinates too. I can pay you back with something only I can do." Azazel snapped his finger pointing it at Issei. However, before more was said a large surge of energy swept through the area.

"Did someone stop time?" Kiba stated which everyone looked around. Akeno, Irina, Tsubaki, Asia, and Sona were frozen in place. Kiba had out his holy sword, Xenovia Durandal, Issei with his boosted gear, Itachi had his wings out with Vali had his wings out as well. Rias was still moving since she was touching Itachi.

"It seems so, it doesn't affect us due to our power. Your holy items protect you, and the three dragons are safe due to their own heavenly properties. Tannin is a king so it makes sense." Azazel quickly analyzed as he looked towards Itachi, "How long will he be out? We might need him."

Sirzechs shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know how long it takes, but the medicine is still going through his body." Sirzechs pointed out that Itachi's chest was still currently glowing. Albion wasn't even saying anything to speak for Itachi.

There was a loud explosion from outside which everyone went to look. Everyone saw people floating upside down from summoning circles, "Who the hell are those guys?" Issei asked.

"Those are magicians! I'm the magical girl here! How dare they freeze So-tan from me!" Serafall yelled out in anger.

"Who is stopping time?" Michael asked wondering.

"It must be Gasper; he has the forbidden valor. They must have forced him into a balance breaker state." Azazel stated knowing the powers of the sacred gear.

"Very few people are born with the power to stop time. He's most likely in the hands of the enemy. We don't have time for Itachi to wake up, we must act now." Sirzechs turned to everyone, but before anything more was said Rias walked up.

"Alright, Issei come with me. Kiba assist Xenovia and the others I'm going to do a rook move to get to closer Gasper." Rias quickly stated which Sirzechs nodded proudly towards his sister's quick thinking.

"We need to act quickly; he'll only get stronger. Soon, we would even stop moving." Azazel stated calmly reminding Issei that Gasper is a mutation piece.

"Sirzechs-sama send someone else to escort Rias." Grayfia suggested.

"I'll go with her to make sure she is protected, hopefully, Nii-san wakes up soon." Issei and Rias both looked at the passed-out Itachi hoping he would wake up soon.

"Alright, let's go." Rias nodded her head which Issei nodded his head with agreement.

"I'm going to go have some fun." Vali put his balance breaker and took off breaking through the roof.

"You're paying for that." Sirzechs looked at Azazel who only nodded his head letting a chuckle out.

It took a bit, but Rias was able to free Gasper with the help of Issei. Issei used Ascalon that Itachi had Ddraig familiarize itself with Escalon embedded in Issei's sacred gear. So, Issei cut himself with the sword and threw the blood that leaked out at Gasper allowing him to drink it. This gave Gasper full control releasing everyone and all the while helping Koneko escape and Rias and Issei take down the magicians. Using his classic dress break move with Gasper also stopping time. Issei also put a power band on Gasper to help control his power, along with Issei himself being given one before he left. Courtesy of Azazel of course. Soon Rias rejoined the fight with Koneko, Gasper, and Issei following her lead, Dragon Shot! Issei shouted shooting a ball of magic at a magician that was about to strike Kiba.

Before Rias and everyone knew it, they were surrounded, but Ria quickly put up a powerful barrier blocking the attacks. However, the attacks began to be too much as her barrier broke. Meanwhile, Issei, Kiba, Koneko, and Xenovia were helping in the fight. Gasper watched as Rias fell to the ground after her barrier broke, "No… this is all my fault!" Gasper stood up with his eye beginning to glow.

"Wait Gasper don't!" Rias shouted not wanting him to accidentally lose control.

"I'll do it! I'll control it! Because I want to be a man! I'll be a man just like Issei-senpai!" Gasper shouted as he pulled off an inhibitor ring trying to take control of himself. Gasper's eyes began to glow again releasing the time stop. He also quickly transported Irina, Sona, Akeno, Tsubaki, and Itachi to their area. While also causing the magicians to disappear from their sight as well.

"You did it! Way to go Gasper!" Issei called out, now there were fewer magicians to worry about.

"Nii-sama how is Itachi doing?" Rias asked as Sirzechs knelt by Itachi's side.

"He seems to be doing just fine, resting is all. The quick healing of his body caused him to need more sleep. We'll have to hold off until he awakens. Currently, he cannot fight if he is not rested." Sirzechs stood back up keeping the barrier he has up. Asia then quickly ran over catching Gasper before he fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Asia asked worriedly.

"I'll explain later, for now, everyone we need to fight! Drive these people out of our school! Here I am the king! I command thy peerage to raise a sword with me!" Rias commanded with Akeno changing her outfit to the shrine maiden. Along with her devil and fallen angel wing, Koneko jumped into the fray with her Nekoshou side active.

"Alright! Team Gremory let's go!" Issei shouted powering up with his gauntlet shouting, BOOST! Sona and Tsubaki also ran into the fight ready to help out.


With Azazel

Azazel took out what seemed to be an artificial sacred gear. He smirked, "Now let's see here how about we kick things up a notch." Azazel's artificial sacred gear was a lance-like golden dagger with a purple jewel at the end of the handle.

"What is that?" Katerea asked worriedly.

"Something far more fun war, call it a hobby." Azazel held the sacred gear up as the purple orb began to glow, "This is Down Fall Dragon Spear, I made it myself an artificial sacred gear." Azazel lowered it as it began to glow more and sparkle, "Balance… break." Azazel had a golden dragon armor with purple jewels that cover the wielder's body, resembling that of Scale Mail.

"Look at that partner, that's a similar armor you'll get if you achieve the balance breaker." Ddraig was hoping Issei gained it soon, his body was ready to handle the power. Just needs to work on being able to have it out for long periods of time.

"Come on bring it." Azazel taunted Katerea.

"Damn you!" Katerea went to attack, but Azazel disappeared and appeared behind her with his trident thrusted forward. Katerea had that attack hit directly causing her aura around her disappear.

Katerea went crazy shooting her arm out which grew more arms, "I don't care what happens to me if I can even take out one of you. It will be well worth the price!" Her multiple hands began to expand with magic building up.

"Sorry, but if it's just my arm. It's a small price to pay." Azazel thrusted his spear into his arm cutting it off and using magic to seal the wound off. He then chucked the spear at her head killing her instantly. Azazel fell out of his balance breaker with what originally was his sacred gear was a purple ball. Azazel caught the ball in the air, "I guess there is still room for improvement." Azazel kissed it, "Let's keep working together. Dragon King, Fafnir."

"Hardcore, he gave up his arm just like that. Like how Itachi gave up his eye." Issei narrowed his eye but Rias place a hand on his shoulder.

"Come on Issei focus, we need to mop up the rest" Rias ordered with everyone else finishing off the rest of the magicians.

"All done huh?" Azazel watched the others fight until he was blasted into the ground. Issei turned his head to see Azazel in a crater, Issei looked up to see Vali. Azazel pulled himself out of the crater, "I must be getting old. Vali." Azazel turned his head.

"Forgive me Azazel, but this side seems more interesting." Vali said while floating in the air in his armor.

"Vali, I need to ask you something, Shemhazai, my Governor, noticed that rebels from the three great factions were banding together. The "Khaos Brigade," was it?"

"Khaos Brigade?" Sirzechs looked up from his spot on the ground next to Grayfia and Serafall.

"There aren't many who can control a bunch of guys like that…" Serafall said worriedly.

"Their leader must be Ophis the Uroboros Dragon." Azazel nodded his head knowing that it would make sense.

"Ophis?" Issei looked at Rias confused.

"The Infinite Dragon God. Feared by even God himself, he's one of the strongest Dragons." Rias explained hoping they didn't have to fight her. Even Itachi might not be able to go up against her.

Indeed, I am working with Ophis, but neither of us want to rule the world. Some idiots came after us for our power." Vali didn't like it when people went after him for merely power.

"I thought you'd gotten all buddy-buddy with Katerea… because neither of you could become Satan." Azazel joked, but Vali kept his own stoic look on his face, "It's hard to believe you even exist." Azazel added to the taunt by putting his right hand up as if he was shrugging at Vali's heritage and his reasoning.

"Perhaps I epitomize the word "Miracle". Vali stated as his eye began to glow and radiate with power. Along with his six devil wings showing everyone his heritage.

Azazel smirked, "He might be the strongest Blaze Meteor Dragon, even stronger than the current White and Red Dragon Emperor." Azazel smirked wondering just how powerful Vali really was.

Vali looked at Issei, "Hyoudou Issei. Fate is a cruel thing, is it not?"

"What?" Issei narrowed his eyes at Vali.

"With the power of a Satan and a Dragon. Meanwhile, you were born a human. Until you were reborn as a devil, you were nothing more than an average high schoolboy. That is to say, without your Boosted Gear, you are nothing. So pitiful…" Vali mocked Issei looking down at how weak he was, "Even your sick brother Itachi would be more of a challenge if he was on his deathbed." Vali continued to mock Issei, at the same time Itachi finally awoke from his slumber. He kept his presence hidden with only Vali, Azazel, Sirzechs, Michael, and Grayfia noticing him awaken, "So laughably pitiful! Our sacred gears aren't even fated enemies, mine was given to me when I was young. I worked on this power, hard, I learned to use it. Yet look at you, merely strolling along trying to work with your dragon the day you were born with it. Yet you fall so short."

Vali took a moment to pause and let it sink in, "Your power has so much to offer, you could be so much stronger than I am. Yet our abilities are worlds apart. Maybe even four or even more worlds apart…"

Issei continued to glare at him with his Sharingan spinning at Vali, "What of it!?"

"I know! I got an idea. You devote yourself to revenge… after I kill your parents." Vali said coldly making Itachi glared at Vali, but he ignored him. Issei's eyes widen in horror at the thought of his parents being slaughtered, "If a man like me were to kill your parents, you ought to be willing to face your fate. I'm sure it will be a much more exciting end for your parents than letting their lives slowly peter out. It's brilliant." Vali praised his own idea.

"That's too cruel." Asia began to tear up with Rias looking at Issei worriedly, it was a cruel thing to say.

"I'm going to kill this asshole." Issei's hair began to cover his eyes, "What have my parent's lives got to do…with your goddamn plan?!" The bracelet on Issei's arm began to as Issei took a stance with energy shooting out of energy. Ddraig shouted, Welsh Dragon, Overbooster! Once the light went down Issei appeared in his balance breaker. The Boosted Gear created a Red Dragon Armor with green jewels that cover Issei's body. Issei looked at Vali angry, ignoring the pain in his own eyes, "You will never kill my parents, you son of a bitch!" Issei shouted with the helmet over his head were glowing bright green. He also had a red aura around his entire body with two wings sticking out of his back, "Congrats partner you unlocked your full balance breaker, thanks to Itachi's training."

"Look Tannin, Hyoudou Issei's power just grew exponentially." Vali laughed that he was able to bring out Issei's hidden power.

"A sacred gears' strength comes from it's wielder's will. He's consumed with blind rage against you. Rage, of all feelings, is the most effective in powering a dragon." Tannin explained as Vali prepared for Issei's attacks.

"So, you're saying that he's only improved thanks to me. Makes him seem like a more suitable dragon than I." Vali chuckled making Issei growl at him.

"Shut your damn mouth already!" Issei shot into the air shouting, Ascalon! Everyone's eyes widen making Rias look where Itachi was and saw him standing next to Sirzechs. Itachi gave Issei Ascalon after he received it. Told him to hold onto it, for now, so Issei also infused Ascalon into his sacred gear.

"The dragon slayer? Even a single hit will cause severe damage." Tannin warned Vali.

"Then I won't get hit." Vali flew ready to combat Issei in the air. The two then shot into the air with an overwhelming aura and power.

"Issei!" Rias shouted with worry; she didn't like him fight on his own like this.

"Stop, his aura has far surpassed yours. If you get too close, you'll burn up and die." Itachi warned walking next to Rias with both of his eyes glowing with the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Too weak! You're too weak!" Vali shouted dodging an attack by Issei and landed a hit on his face. Stall! Tannin shouted as Issei fell to the ground out of his scale mail armor.

"Stall?" Issei was caught by Itachi who helped him back to his feet, "Nii-san?" Issei looked at him glad to see he was up.

"Issei your eyes." Itachi saw Issei's eyes were in a different pattern.

"W-What is it Nii-san?" Issei looked at Itachi confused.

"I'm proud of you keep it up, it seems you're the first to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan without through loss. Seems you got yours when you wanted to protect something precious to you." Itachi flicked Issei in the forehead and walked back to Rias.

Vali floated down, "Stall, I can cut someone from their magical powers every five seconds. Meaning one hit, and I can knock you out of your balance breaker."

Issei stood back up glaring at Vali, and Vali looked at Issei's eyes with an intrigued look, "I'll make sure you pay for this!" Welsh Dragon Overbooster! Ddraig shouted as Issei powered back up.

"I just remembered you fought Kokabeil to protect your friends. Should I kill your friends before I do your parents?!" Vali threw two fireballs towards Asia and Gasper.

Issei flew in front of them taking the hit, "Asia! Gasper!"

"What about her!?" Vali flew towards Xenovia.

"Don't YOU TOUCH HER!" Issei grabbed onto Vali, Ascalon! Issei shouted as he went to slam his fist into Vali. However, Vali went to dodge, but Issei saw this coming, "OH NO YOU DON'T!" Issei screamed reading Vali's movements and stabbed Vali's stomach with Ascalon.

Issei landed on the ground with Vali falling out of his armor, "Good… good hate me loath me. Get stronger and stronger for me." Vali stood back up as his wounds began to heal with flames thanks to Tannin. Granted it still burned, but he could heal to an extent. Vali wiped his mouth, "Let's kick this into a real fight!"

Issei looked Vali had his armor appear back on him, "What's going on?"

"We dragons keep fighting until one of us can no longer stand." Ddraig explained.

"That's how we fight." Tannin added in.

Just then Issei's gauntlet began to glow, "What's wrong?"

"Your time on the armband is up, you continue you're going to kill yourself." Ddraig warned which Issei let a sigh out.

Issei turned to Itachi, "Means I'm too damn weak again… Itachi-Nii you okay to tag out?"

Itachi nodded his head walked past Issei, "You've grown a lot little brother, your training is only going to be getting harder and harder. I'm glad you finally awoke your Mangekyou Sharingan, later we'll talk about gaining the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan." Issei powered down walked back towards the others. Itachi looked to Vali with his Mangekyou Sharingan active, "Vali, I'll give you one chance walk away. I might not let you escape."

"Vali come here." A quiet voice came off to the side. Itachi looked to his right to see a young girl with long black hair down to her hips and gray eyes. Her ears differ from a normal human's as they have pointed tips, although her long black hair makes this feature difficult to notice. Her dark grey eyes have reptilian slitted pupils.

"Ophis?" Vali looked at Ophis as she floated in front of him.

"Remember I want him, spar against him. I'm intrigued by this Clan killer; I want to see how strong he is now. He died once, was revived as an Edo-Tensei, and died again and brought here." Ophis spoke confusing Vali, "He's had a long life, technically cut short in the first one. Now Hyoudou Itachi… no Uchiha Itachi I want to see how strong you really are."

"It's been a long time since anyone has called me that, I assume I have no choice but to fight you?" Itachi asked as Ophis simply nodded her head, she wanted to see how strong he was.

"Yes, I want to see your strength." Ophis stated calmly which then Vali felt his power return to him along with his wounds healed, "Vali, you fight him. See how he compares to you." Ophis ordered which Vali did NOT mind at all. He wanted to see just how strong Itachi was anyways.

Itachi walked up ready fight Vali, and so Itachi could move easier. He untucked his school shirt and tossed his blazer jacket to hold onto. Itachi had Albion's wings come out of his back, along with the Mangekyou Sharingan, "I see then, I won't disappoint." Itachi closed his eyes feeling a lot more power than usual. Itachi then looked at Vali, "You will regret saying those things to my little brother. It isn't his fault he was given the Boosted Gear, threatening to hurt our loved ones. Is something you will live to regret." Itachi's wings began to glow, "Balance Break." Itachi simply stated. White Dragon Armor appeared all around Itachi with blue jewels that cover his body. Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker!

Vali simply just looked at Itachi with glee on his face, "Finally someone worthy let's see just how strong you really are! Itachi!" Vali held his hands out with fireballs appearing in his hand.

"Let's start." Itachi's aura with blue energy began to skyrocket along with Vali's.

"HOLY SHIT! Vali's aura wasn't nearly close to what he was dishing out with me!" Issei shouted in shock feeling the overwhelming power that Itachi possessed.

"Ahahaha! Look at our two dragon-fighting love birds!" Azazel laughed putting up a shield for everyone.

Itachi and Vali were darting left, right, up-down, diagonal, U-turn, forward, back, everyone, they were like popcorn over a stovetop. Meteor Fall! Vali shouted throwing a giant planetary-sized ball of earth his way. "HOLY SHIT THAT'S HUGE!" Issei fell on his ass seeing the giant mini planetary-sized ball heading towards Itachi. Itachi simply held his hand up, Half Dimension! The meteor began to shrink in size, but it forced Itachi to focus on it only.

"You better do something, or I'll land a critical blow!" Vali charged forward going to punch Itachi, however, he was blocked by a red spectral rib, "I rib?"

Susanoo! Itachi called out as two arms, a head formed along with flesh and armor covering Itachi's body, "Susanoo the perfect defense, good luck getting through it." By the time Itachi was done the meteor was no more. Vali quickly rushed behind Itachi going to strike below but was met with a spectral hand blocking his punch.

"Too slow," Itachi muttered using his other spectral hand bitch slapping Vali into the ground.
"ARG!" Vali shouted as he landed in a bigger-sized crater Azazel made when he was shot into the ground. Itachi mentally grunted a bit as he released the Susanoo feeling the strain on his eyes. He was going to conserve the chakra, even if he didn't need his Mangekyou Sharingan on to use the Susanoo.

"I'm not done!" Vali shouted as he began to gather magic in his palm and fire off a vortex of flames. Flames that would form a cone over a meteor when entering Earth's atmosphere, Meteor Blast!

"Useless." Fire Style: Great Fire Ball Jutsu! The giant fireball made contact canceling Vali's attack. Itachi decided to kick it up a notch and disappeared from view.

Once the smoke disappeared Vali began to look around to find Itachi, but he then quickly flew up avoiding a grab from Itachi. However, Vali was met with a chakra enhanced punch to the face by the real Itachi. Vali was sent into the clone Itachi below, Punisher Drive! Itachi shouted with a random name for the attack.

Vali slowly stood back up and smiled he smirked, "Think you can keep going? Go farther? How about the Juggernaut!"

"Vali are you asking me to adapt to this power? I don't think you're ready to handle it." Tannin warned not wanting to push Vali, he could kill himself. Vali began his chant to transform.

"Itachi, if you need to, we can access it for five minutes. You may be healed, but your body is still trying to adjust to your newfound strength." Albion wanted to let Itachi know that he can go much farther than he has now. Thanks to all of Itachi's previous training, Itachi's power was far beyond any normal reincarnated devil.


With Sirzechs and Everyone

"He's powerful… if he and I were to go head-to-head… he might even beat me." Sirzechs commented earning looks of shock from everyone.
"I agree… I would even find it hard to fight him." Serafall noted Itachi's strength.

"The precision with his strikes, Vali hasn't felt it yet. Somehow, Itachi landed blows on Vali's weak points. Not weak points as in flaws in Vali's fighting style or weakness. Just the normal human body, the different pressure points." Grayfia announced praising Itachi for his skills and precision.


Back with Itachi

Vali was midway through his chant until he coughed up blood. He then floated to the ground and fell on one knee falling out of his Balance Breaker, "W-What? Ugh… impossible what's going on?"

Itachi landed on the ground releasing his balance breaker too, "Simple, I hit your pressure points. I used the Susanoo to do it, the clones and my fist to your face was merely a distraction. I used my Susanoo to hit your pressure points. The fingers were just enough, I sent a jolt of Raiton chakra to your heart causing irregular heartbeats, along with your pressure points. You may be strong and durable on the outside, but you're still a flimsy, bendable, killable, meat bag like any other devil or human." Itachi walked up Vali as he stared down at Vali.

"D-Don't look down on me!" Vali spat out blood feeling his heartbeat change pace every few seconds.

Itachi turned to Ophis, "Leave, there is nothing for you here, I will not join you."

Ophis smiled as she began to release some of her own power. Granted it was only a fraction, but for Itachi and the others, it felt like a never-ending force. Itachi however, still stood tall ready to fight with his, "You still interest me Clan killer, if not today, maybe tomorrow. Though one day, you will help me realize my dream regardless. Maybe as a sport of gratitude along with your bravery. I'll let your friends live this once, though do watch out. I got some friends of my own too. You might know some of them too, a tailless-tailed beast, two immortals, and two who argue about art all the time. An interesting group… what were they called again?" Ophis put her finger on her lip, "Oh that's right the Akatsuki." Ophis waved her hand and the defeated Vali disappeared and Ophis herself disappeared herself.

Itachi let a sigh out as he turned to Rias and the others and smiled, "Well it seems we're done here… so please tell me the peace negotiations went well?" Itachi was a little worried about the others, he wondered how much stronger they might have gotten. With the way Ophis is, she probably juiced them up giving them her power.

A/N: That's it! A little longer than most chapters, so I hope this will suffice! Anyone any questions or concerns let me know! Yes, Itachi's Akatsuki's pals are stronger than their original counterparts. Who else has been training them? Ophis of course! So, they will definitely be much stronger than they were in the Elemental Nations. They would be on Madara level, each and every one of them. Being trained by a literate Dragon God has to make someone a lot more powerful. Also if you decided to skip the beginning, which is fine. I still want you guys to read this!

The story will be a reincarnation story for Naruto, he will have similar looks and facial features like he usually does. He will not have Kurama but will have access to chakra like he does originally. However, he will be unable to perform any type of ninjutsu whatsoever. He will be much faster, stronger, higher endurance, and regeneration than a normal human in this story. Since this anime is actually just a normal human anime. There aren't any supernatural beings in this one. The reason Naruto can't use any real ninjutsu or anything. That's because he actually doesn't have the chakra capacity to use ninjutsu. Yes, I know, I know it's stupid and sounds ridiculous. But keep in mind this is a normal world. Meaning there is no need for a mountain destroying Naruto. Though, I don't mind allowing him to use chakra to enhance his physical movements. That I don't have an issue with, he will be a bit O.C you'll understand why. This Naruto doesn't mind school and doesn't mind studying, though he doesn't mind a fight either. Let's just say he'll be a great Tutor to five really dumb people! If you know the anime you may announce it in the reviews!

Well, try your best guesses! I will PM anyone who gets it right. If you do, I do suggest not going into another chapter and announcing it that you were right. Some people might like the surprise and there being no spoilers. Anyways let's answer some reviews! TitanFall007 OUT! Ja Ne!
