Chapter 7. Family
(Abandoned Warehouse)
Softly placing his hands against a thick and rusted metal door, Naruto pushed his way into the warehouse where the Passione had taken Freed. This instantly filled his ears with a loud song that was practically roaring throughout the entire building. Then as the strongest man alive approached the center of the warehouse he found his son Giorno. Who was standing besides a headless body, meanwhile the decapitated head of Freed was dangling from the rafters above. Giorno noticing his father approaching walked over to Naranica's boombox and flipped the device off.
"Having a little dance party?" Naruto asked, while he kept his gaze away from the head. The latter of which seemed to be suspended by fishing line that had a hook pierced into Freed's eyelid.
"The boombox was Naranica's idea. He thought the noise would conceal any screams and avoid unwanted attention, but he and some of the others did dance. . ." Giorno admitted in a dry voice.
Naruto shook his head and laughed, as he truly had some bizarre subordinates. "Well did you manage to get information from this man?"
Giorno nodded and pointed up to Freed. "This whole incident was caused by a group of Fallen Angels that are acting independently from the entire faction. According to this man's word there is a few more Fallen Angels within this town."
"In that case I want them dealt with." Naruto cut in a firm and powerful voice, which merely caused Giorno to nod and hold his hands up. "Nobody messes with our family."
"I figured you would say that. So I already sent the others out to take care of them."
Naruto smiled and rested a hand on his son's shoulder. "Good work son. You're shaping up into a good successor."
"Thank you Father, but this piece is shit also shared some other interesting things that you would probably like to hear."
Naruto lifted his eyebrow in curiosity. "Oh really? Such as?"
"Well the leader of these rouge Fallen Angels is an individual who goes by the name Kokabiel. Apparently he's just some high up Fallen Angel who wants to cause war among the factions."
"Never heard of him, but at least it's good news that the whole Fallen Angel faction isn't involved. Considering I would hate to make another enemy with a biblical faction, but I would do so if needed. However, the fact that this Kokabiel wants to create conflict means he is a potential threat to cross off our list."
"I agree and I'll have the others start looking for Kokabiel with the order to eliminate him, but this man shared something even more interesting."
"Go on."
"Apparently this Kokabiel guy has his interest focused on Holy Swords and something called the Holy Sword Project."
"Why does this sound familiar?" Naruto asked, while at the same time resting his hand under his chin. "I've definitely heard of the Holy Sword Project, but I'm always getting new information. So I tend to forget some things from time to time."
"Well you probably heard it from Abbacchio and Naranica, as they are the two responsible for all information involving the Angel Faction. Abbacchio is also the one who gave me the details during the interrogation. Apparently this project is pretty classified, but was one of the darker days for the church."
Naruto folded his arms and scoffed. "Why am I not surprised?"
"Cause you don't like the Angels, but that's not the point. What you need to know is that the Holy Sword Project is a program where the church took young children and ran experiments to see if they had capabilities to use Holy Swords and treated them like lab rats, which resulted in the deaths of numerous children that failed to show results. The project was eventually deemed a failure and the man over the project one Valper Galilei was excommunicated for his unorthodox methods. However, this same man is now working with Kokabiel to revive and improve his old project."
"That's some good information and we can talk with Griselda about this. She was pretty high up within the church and can probably give us some more insight. However, tell me did Freed revel how far along this new project is coming? Or perhaps he mentioned the kind of power these swords have?"
"No he was remarkably tight lipped about most things, but from Abbacchio's intel Holy Sword are powerful and if in the right hands can cause a good amount of destruction. However, they are most lethal against Devils and Fallen Angels. So these swords wouldn't be a threat to us and especially not you Father."
"Holy Swords might not be a threat to us, but these swords could cause some conflict between the factions. A conflict that could lead to war and that war could end with heavy casualties and collateral damage for humanity. So it would be wise for us to get ahead of this potential situation before things get out of hand. Considering if this Kokabiel wants to cause war among the factions than these Holy Swords might be his game plan to do so."
Giorno nodded. "I agree Father. I'll make sure everyone places their focus around this development."
"Excellent, but tell me how goes your work expanding the Passione within Japan?"
"Good. We have begun purchasing businesses within the area to operate out of and have also started to disband local gangs and organizations. In fact the whole expansion is going faster than we first imagined."
"That's good, which means you guys won't be hindered by helping me with these factions. Considering I haven't made any contact yet, but I feel it's only a matter of a few days before Asia manages to set a meeting between myself and the Devils. So having some additional help would be beneficial."
"I'm surprised you haven't made contact already, as we have been fully operational within Japan for a few days now." Giorno commented, which made Naruto nod.
"Yes I've had ample opportunities to simply approach the local Devils and make contact plus Asia herself has had chances to propose a meeting. However, me and Kurama believe it's best for Asia to first establish a close friendship with the Devils. Considering talks would go better if the Devils viewed Asia as a friend. Since they would be more inclined to listen and cooperate with us."
Giorno nodded. "That makes sense Father, as the Devils probably wouldn't listen to us if they were uneasy with our group. However, do you think a few days would be enough time to establish a good friendship between Asia and the Devils?"
"Of course!" Naruto chirped with a wide smile. "Both my children are natural leaders that gather friends quicker than anyone I know! I mean it's because of yourself that the core members of the Passione came together under me. Never forget that Giorno."
"I guess you make another good point, but why don't we clean up and get out of here?"
Naruto nodded and started to walk towards the exit. "Yeah let's get out of here, but-. . ." The leader of the Passione began, but stopped as he noticed Giorno slowly picking up Freed's body. "Leave him."
"Leave him?" Giorno asked in surprise, as he planned on disposing of the former exorcist's body. "Why?"
Placing his hands into his pockets and walking away, Naruto looked up with a hardened expression. "It leaves a message."
Understanding his father, Giorno dropped Freed and grabbed Naranica's boombox. Then without sparing a second glance he followed Naruto out of the warehouse. Leaving the decapitated man for anyone to find.

(With Asia, a few days later)
The sound of the school bell chiming off loudly, Asia smiled happily and began to skip her way towards the main entrance. Then as the girl came shooting out of the buildings doors she held her arms up in victory. As just like her father she quickly grew to hate school.
"I'm free!" Asia yelled before the sounds of a panting Issei could be heard tromping slowly from behind.
"Lady Asia! Slow down. . . I can't keep up!" The pervert cried, while he eventually caught up to Asia and began to hunch over to take deep breaths.
Asia watching her newest Peerage member couldn't help herself from giggling. "You're really out of shape Issei, but don't worry I'm sure Daddy will help fix that!"
"Well are we finally gonna do some of that training Dad mentioned a while back?"
Laughing at how Issei now referred to her father as his own parent, Asia nodded. "Yes we are, but Griselda called me during our lunch break and said we have something to do before we train."
"Which is?"
"Meet everyone else in the Passione silly!" Asia declared, which made Issei gulp. Considering he had heard some horror stories from Asia about the Passione, which made the teenager apprehensive about meeting them. Since he felt a simple boy like himself wouldn't fit in well with a bunch of hardened gangsters.
"Do you think they will like me?" Issei asked nervously.
Asia shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe, but I know they at least won't kill you."
"Kill me!" Issei yelled in shock, which of course caused Asia to clamp her hand over the boy's mouth.
"I said they won't kill you. Don't freak out so much Issei." Asia warned in a low voice, as she didn't want to attract unwanted attention. "We don't want anyone hearing you."
"Now what are you two talking about?" A familiar masculine voice asked, while at the same time holding back a small chuckle.
Issei looked to the voice with surprise, as he saw his new teacher Mr. Bucciarati slowly approaching him and Asia. The latter of whom merely kept a small smirk and waved the man off.
"Oh nothing that needs your concern." Asia replied back in a friendly and slightly authoritarian tone, which caused Issei to look at his friend. Considering he would never dream of speaking to a teacher in such a fashion.
"Very well Lady Asia. In that case I shall see you soon." Bruno laughed while he walked passed a stunned Issei and patted the boy on the shoulder. "Oh and Issei." The gangster masquerading as a teacher began as he leaned into the boy's ear. "Welcome to the Passione."
With that being said Bruno casually walked away from the pair, which made Issei point at the man with a shaking finger.
"Is he?" Issei began, but stopped as Asia laughed.
"Yup that's Bruno Bucciarati. My Daddy's third in command behind my big brother Giorno." Asia explained in a small whisper. "My Daddy assigned him as a teacher to oversee this area and take action if something bad were to suddenly happen."
"I see. . . Well he seems nice!" Issei admitted with a wide smile. "Maybe meeting everyone else won't be that bad!"
Asia gave her friend an eye smile. "Bruno is a remarkable person, but he isn't like the others. Trust me Issei, no words could prepare you for Naranica or Mista and heaven help you if Fugo let's his temper get the best of him. Also if Abbacchio offers you tea. . . Don't drink it."
Issei shuttered. "Why not? Does he poison it?"
Asia sighed. "If only."
"What is that supposed to mean!"
"It's really for the best that you don't know." Asia explained, while she made a motion for Issei to follow her. "But none of that is important. Right now we should get moving since our ride should be arriving soon."
"Our ride?" Issei asked, as he caught up to Asia and began to walk by her side.
"Yes Mom is picking us up and taking us to a meeting point for the Passione." Asia explained.
"Oh cool! Beats walking or riding a bike!" Issei replied in a giddy voice.
Asia nodded in agreement and slowly approached the gates of the school, which was where the main road and their ride was waiting. However, as the duo were mere feet from the gate a voice suddenly called out to Asia. A voice that peeked the girl's interest and caused Issei to muster a surprised blush. Considering the voice belonged to none other than Rias Gremory.
"Asia wait!" The buxom redhead called out, while she ran towards the duo.
Asia stopping in her tracks and looking back noticed Rias was waving around some papers within her hands, while Issei merely kept his eyes glued to the girls massive bouncing breasts.
"Oh hello Rias. Can I help you?" Asia asked in a friendly voice.
Stopping before Asia and holding the papers in her hands outward, Rias mustered a friendly smile. "I finally got the papers to make you an official member of the Occult Research Club! If you would like we can head over to the clubhouse and fill these out together!"
"That's great, but unfortunately I have a commitment with my parents that I can't miss. So perhaps we can schedule another time to make me an official member." Asia purposed, while Rias seemed momentarily disappointed at the sudden development.
However, quickly shaking her feelings away Rias simply nodded. "I understand that family is important and the club isn't going anywhere. So we can easily make you an official member another day."
Clapping her hands together and flashing a smile, Asia took a slight bow. "Wonderful! If you would like I could take those papers and fill them out on my own to save some time."
"That's a good idea. Here take them." Rias began while she handed the papers off, but in doing so finally caused her to take notice of Issei. Who was sticking closely to Asia's side. This confused Rias, as both were people of interest for the redhead and she couldn't understand why they were together. In all honesty the local pervert and new girl being around each other seemed off to her. Though Rias didn't get much time to stew on those thoughts as Asia spoke up.
"Well I'll be seeing you soon Rias." Asia began before she turned to Issei with a grin and held her application forms close to her chest. "Come on Issei lets go. Don't wanna keep Mom waiting!"
Rias watched with curiosity as the blushing pervert followed after Asia, which resulted in the two coming to a stop at a large blacked out SUV. Then as the side doors opened the Devil saw a glimpse of Griselda, which instantly caused Asia to perk up.
"Hey Mom!" The blond yelled loudly, while she waved at the woman.
Griselda pointed her thumb to a few open seats. "Get in Asia. . . And the idiot rides in the trunk."
"Oh Mommy you're not very good at pranks." Asia replied in a way too friendly tone. "Be nice to Issei or I'll show you some more pranks I have in mind."
Rias watched the beautiful blond woman grumble something under her breath, while the two teenagers climbed into the car before the vehicle drove off. However, the Devil got just enough of a glimpse of Griselda to tell that the woman wasn't human. Considering the woman had a very strong presence that wasn't found in most humans. In fact if Rias wasn't mistaken she was sure the woman was an Angel. Meaning that if she was Asia's mother there was a whole side to the girl that she needed to figure out.
"Just who and what are you Asia Uzumaki." Rias mumbled softly, while she slowly turned around to go find her Queen and tell the girl of the new developments.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(With Asia)
Riding with a smirk on her face, Asia looked directly into the eyes of a sour faced Griselda. Meanwhile, Issei merely sat awkwardly beside his King and absorbed the awkward tension. However, Asia didn't care for the current mood of their environment and decided to ease the tension.
"What's the matter Mommy? You seem upset." Asia asked with a small amount of sympathy.
"I'm just thinking." Griselda replied simply.
"Oh?" Asia replied, while she tilted her head with an eye smile. "And what could you possibly be thinking about?"
"Your punishment of course." The Angel answered without thought.
Asia giggled and shook her head. "I think you would learn by now I have Daddy wrapped around my finger. I'm untouchable."
Griselda nodded. "That might be true, but I'll fix that very soon."
"I don't think you'll be able to change Daddy any time soon if ever." Asia pointed out.
"I'm aware of that Asia, which is why I'm now fully set on starting a relationship with your Father. Considering not only is he a great man, but once I'm your actual Mother you'll no longer be immune from parental discipline. In fact I will turn you into a respectable young woman and punish you for all your awful pranks."
A malicious aura radiating from Asia, the young blond looked towards Griselda with a wide and almost too friendly smile. "So is this a declaration of war then Mommy?"
Matching Asia's aura and smile, Griselda merely nodded her head. "If that's what you wish to call it. Just be prepared for your punishment after I marry your Father."
Issei was sweating from the tension of the two females, as neither one was backing down. However, after a few seconds Asia's expression switched to an overjoyed smile.
"Well looks like I'm well on the way to getting you together with Daddy, which is what I wanted all along. But would you like me to let you in on a secret?" Asia asked with a trickster smile flashing across her face. "I plan on throwing many more women at my Dad, as I'm looking to make a Mommy harem. Though I don't know how Daddy will react to this, but I do know one thing. You will have competition coming your way, so you better try hard if you want to win Daddy's heart. Considering he might take a harem or choose a single woman and if you're not careful you might not make the cut either way."
Her expression turning into a flustered blush, the normal firm and prideful Angel fumbled over her words. "A-asia!"
Winking at the woman, Asia simply reclined backwards. "So if I were you I would worry less about punishing your future precious daughter and worry more about getting my Daddy to fall for you."
Issei looked at his King with a dumbfounded expression, as he couldn't believe the sheer cunning of the girl by his side.
"Boy I'm glad you're on my side Lady Asia! You're a scary person to have as an enemy!" Issei admitted with a nervous laugh, but shuttered the moment Asia snapped her glance in his direction.
"You're right about that Issei and I saw earlier that you were checking out Rias Gremory." Asia began, while she let a small hum of satisfaction escape her lips. "I could have a lot of fun with you and Rias like I do with Daddy. Hmmmmm, maybe even more."
"Oh god help me." Issei murmured in fear, which caused Asia to laugh.
"Silly Issei, God's dead." The girl began with a friendly smile. "But don't worry I'm here for you!"
"That's what I'm afraid of!" The pervert admitted.
The car coming to a stop Griselda sighed and opened the door closest to herself. "Let's just head inside. Maybe you can torment someone else for a change."
"I resent that Mommy!" Asia replied, while she left the vehicle. "I don't torment anyone!"
Griselda rolled her eyes and entered the building they were parked in front of. Issei on the other hand stood by Asia and raised his brow. Considering he was confused by their current location, as they were standing outside of some sort of restaurant.
"Where are we?" Issei asked, as he followed Asia to the entrance.
"Back in Naples the Passione had many locations in which it operated out of. A local bistro was a popular location, which leads me to assume this is a building the Passione acquired to operate out of within Japan." Asia explained in a matter of fact voice, while she held the door open for the boy. "So are you ready to meet everyone?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." Issei grumbled softly.
"That's the spirit!" Asia chirped before walking into the restaurant with Issei.
However, once the duo entered the building they quickly noticed it was rather empty of customers on one half of the restaurant. Considering one side was left emptied on purpose to avoid any unwanted listeners. Though besides Griselda relaxing at a table by herself, Issei noticed four individuals seated together at a table. This caused Asia to point forward at the boy's and begin to whisper.
"The one with the long white hair is Leone Abbacchio. Don't let his scary expression intimidate you, he's a big softie." Asia explained, which caused Issei to look at Abbacchio. The latter of whom had a pair of headphones on and was ignoring everyone.
"Then the one beside Abbacchio with the hat is Guido Mista. He's sort of a goofball and doesn't like the number four. So avoid anything in fours around him."
Issei looked at Mista and watched the gangster slowly sip on a cup of tea. "But why?"
"I don't know, but the one with blonde hair is Pannacotta Fugo. . . He has a small anger problem, but is an absolute genius." Asia revealed, while Issei noticed Fugo was holding a notepad with a math problem written on it, which the final member was trying to solve.
"Okay what's six times five?" Fugo asked loudly.
Asia giggled. "The one that Fugo is trying to teach math to is Narancia Ghirga. Don't let his soft features fool you, as he isn't a girl. Seriously some dude tried to hit on Naranica one time so he almost killed him for thinking he was a girl."
"Understood." Issei mumbled nervously, as he didn't know what to do next.
"Thirty!" Naranica shouted happily, which caused Fugo to beam with pride.
"Very good Naranica! You're really getting a grasp on your multiplication tables." Fugo praised loudly.
Slapping Issei's back and grinning, Asia motioned for Issei to walk forward. "Go introduce yourself to everyone, I'm gonna go ask Griselda where Daddy and everyone else is."
"I uh." Issei began nervously, but couldn't even get a word in before Asia skipped over to Griselda. So tightening his fists and talking a hard swallow, Issei slowly approached the table of gangsters. "Hello my name is Issei Hyoudou! It's a pleasure to meet you all!"
For a split second the table looked to Issei with hardened expressions, which made the boy shudder. However, just as quickly as they took notice they instantly ignored the boy and went back to what they were doing.
"Okay Narancia you're doing really good. Now what's sixteen times fifty five?" Fugo asked, while handing the notepad over.
Naranica quickly began to work on the new math problem, while Issei rubbed the back of his head and tried a different approach. "So Lady Asia wanted me to come meet you guys since I'm the newest member of the Passione. So how are you guys doing?"
Standing to his feet and walking over to a small dessert stand, Abbacchio completely ignored Issei and grabbed himself some strawberry cake. Mista seeing this looked over his shoulder to his fellow gangster.
"Hey Abbacchio grab me a slice while you're at it!"
Issei watched as Abbacchio walked back to his seat with two pieces of cake within his hands. Thinking to himself that things were not going very smoothly at the moment.
"So all this Angel and Devil stuff is pretty crazy right?" Issei asked with a nervous chuckle, while still getting no response.
"I did it Fugo! How's it look!?" Naranica asked, while he held the notebook up with excitement.
"Oh you're finished! Let's have a look." Fugo replied, while he accepted the notebook, but his eyebrow quickly twitched when he saw what was written on the notebook. This being sixteen times fifty five equals twenty eight. "What is this?"
Leaning forward with a smug expression, Naranica lightly chuckled. "Am I right?"
His eyes narrowing, Fugo grabbed a fork from the table and stabbed it into Naranica's cheek. This caused the gangster to recoil back and yell, but Fugo quickly grabbed down onto Narancia's forehead. "You stupid delinquent are you messing with me! How many times do I have to teach you this before you learn?!" Fugo shouted before slamming Narancia's face into the table. "You shit for brains!"
"Oh boy. He's lost it now." Mista commented in a casual voice, while sipping his tea.
Issei's eyes grew wide as he watched Fugo lift up Narancia and continuously pound the gangster into the table.
"You just said six times five is thirty, so why the fuck is your answer even less!" Fugo yelled in absolute rage.
"Shouldn't we stop this!" Issei yelled, while looking at Abbacchio and Mista.
However, both ignored Issei, but to the boy's surprise Narancia suddenly shot upwards and held a switchblade to Fugo's neck.
"Did you just call me shit for brains? It's not nice to look down on others. I'll kill you Fugo. I'll kill you." Narancia mumbled darkly, which caused the other gangster to click his teeth.
"You bastard." Fugo growled in response, as things were starting to get out of hand.
"What are you idiots doing!" The voice of Bruno yelled, which caused Issei to look back and see the gangster standing beside Giorno and Naruto. "You're distributing the other customers."
As almost if one cue Naranica and Fugo both backed down and took their seats like nothing happened. Asia on the other hand quickly ran up to Naruto and hugged the man.
"Daddy you're finally here!" The girl giggled happily, while her father quickly lifted her up and spun her in a circle.
"Did you have a good day at school sweetie?" The proud father asked in a giddy voice.
Being placed down onto the ground Asia giggled and shook her head. "Nope I officially hate school! It's so boring! Can I drop out after I'm done with the Devils?"
"Absolutely!" Naruto replied with a wide grin. "But let's get down to business. I'm sure you're all faintly aware as to why you're here."
Mista lifted his brow and leaned forward. "A status update?"
Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "Basically, but I also have a few more things to go over. For starters you're all aware of our newest member Issei. If not get acquainted with him, as he is here to stay. After all he did almost die trying to protect Asia from some Fallen Angel. So he has my respect."
With that being said the table who previously ignored the boy looked forward with slight interest, as they didn't know that detail about Issei. Only the absolute minimum that Giorno had told them. So that did help Issei's standing with the group.
"Issei will be directly under Giorno and given his daily duties for the Passione from him, but I will also be taking time to train Issei along with Asia myself. Considering I know you're all fully aware of the current Kokabiel situation and if things grow worse it would be beneficial to strengthen our manpower." Naruto explained, while he folded his arms and looked around the room. "Any questions so far?"
The room remained silent and Naruto nodded his head and took a seat. "Well that's good, but I want each of you to share with me your personal progress with our expansion. Also Issei pay close attention, you may learn something from the others."
From the side Griselda watched the gang interact with each other, but was distracted by her cell phone receiving a text message. A message which caused the woman's eyes grow wide before standing to her feet.
"I'm so sorry I have to go." The Angel spoke up, while the entire room glanced back to the woman. "My daughter Xenovia just got off her plane and is waiting for me to come get her."
"Ahh Xenovia is here! I'm gonna go with you!" Asia declared in an excited voice, while dashing to the angel's side. "It's been so long since I've last saw her!"
Naruto waved the two girls off. "That's fine you two go get Xenovia and head home. I really only need my Capos and Issei for this meeting. So just be safe and I'll see you both at the house."
Griselda stood up and took a bow. "Alright I shall see you within a few hours."
"Hehe see ya Daddy and Issei have fun with everyone!" Asia instructed before leaving the restaurant with Griselda.
Watching the two women leave Naruto looked around to his most trusted men and Issei. "Now back to business. So where were we?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(With Xenovia)
Standing outside the airport dressed in a long white exorcist robe, while a hood was pulled over her blue hair. Xenovia was standing around, while sticking out like a sore thumb. This of course caused multiple people passing by to glance at her. However, the calm and collected member of the church kept a steady composure and didn't show any emotion about the attention she was getting. That was about to quickly change though, as a familiar and excited voice began to call out to her.
"Big sister Xenovia! It's me!"
Slightly shuttering as she recognized the voice, Xenovia didn't even get a second to glance over before she caught a glimpse of Asia leaping towards her with her arms wide open for a hug. Unfortunately for Xenovia she wasn't hugged by Asia, but rather tackled to the ground. Since the new found King of Naruto's Sage Pieces still wasn't adjusted to her new found strength in the slightest. Still Xenovia was tougher than most and though she was slightly dazed she still managed to quickly compose herself.
"Hey Asia. . . I thought Kaa-chan was coming to get me?" The girl began, while at the same time patting the girl's head.
Hovering over Xenovia and pouting, Asia crossed her arms before huffing. "What no i'm happy to see you Asia?"
"I'm very happy to see you, but you're not the first person I was expecting to see. Also for such a tiny girl you really knocked the wind out of me." Xenovia pointed out in a dry voice, which made Asia giggle. "Have you been working out?"
"Something like that, but why don't I help you up?" Asia offered, as she extended a helping hand to the girl.
Being lifted up, Xenovia tilted her head at Asia in gratitude before glancing around their location. "It really is good to see you Asia. I have so many questions for you and Mom, but I don't even know where to begin."
"Well I ran ahead to find you. So let's go find Mommy and we can find a starting place for your questions!"
Xenovia chuckled. "You're still referring to her as your own Mom?"
Asia smiled wide. "Of course! Getting our parents together has been a plan years in the making. Mommy even told me today she is planning on pursuing a relationship with my Daddy. So my future Mommy harem will be growing soon!"
"Mommy harem?"
"Don't worry about it Xenovia! You got enough to worry about with the Angels and everything else!" Asia replied, while slapping the girl's back. "Let me focus on the important things."
"You're right about that." Xenovia began, while she began to follow Asia in the direction of where Griselda should be. "But Mom told me you were excommunicated from the church. Could you at least tell me how that happened?"
Asia sighed softly and nodded. "I guess me telling you that now that wouldn't hurt." The girl began, while at the same time scratching her cheek to think of where to start from. "Well the quick explanation is that I used my Twilight Healing on an injured Devil and the church found out and excommunicated me. Since me helping a Devil went against the balance Heaven was trying to keep or something like that. The longer explanation is that Devil I healed was wanting my excommunication to happen and hoped I would kill myself in depression and he would revive me as his personal sex slave."
"Where is this Devil? I'll kill him." Xenovia replied in a firm, but aggressive tone that made Asia smile.
"He's dead, my Daddy got to him first." Asia explained in a simple tone, which instantly caused Xenovia to cool down.
"Good I'm glad that degenerate got what he deserved, but I never knew your Dad was strong enough to fight and kill a Devil. I knew you talked about him in the past with me, but I never expected that." Xenovia admitted, which made Asia chuckle.
"Well there is a lot you'll learn about my Daddy soon. For example he didn't fight a Devil, because that would imply the Devil stood a chance against my Daddy." Asia explained before holding a finger up. "A more accurate phrasing is my Daddy crushed an ant that got on his bad side."
Xenovia's eyes were wide in surprise, as she herself knew Devils no matter where on the totem pole of strength were fairly powerful. Especially compared to regular humans like Xenovia.
"Your Dad must be a fearsome individual. Is he a member of one of the factions?"
"Well he's human if you're wondering." Asia replied and chuckled at the girl's stunned reaction. "But trust me when I say my Daddy isn't your typical human."
Xenovia was left with even more questions than she first arrived with, but all her thoughts were momentarily placed on hold. Considering the girl finally caught sight of her mother. Who was slowly approaching the two girls with a hardened and terrifying gaze.
"Asia I told you to not run off without me." Griselda began in a stern voice, which caused the girl to snicker and rub her head.
"Sorry Mommy I got excited to see my big sister!"
Griselda sighed and stopped a few feet before the duo. Then by holding her hands to her sides Griselda curled her fingers up and down, which was a slight and discreet way of her telling Xenovia to come forward. "Well don't just stand there gawking like a nervous child Xenovia." The Angel began in a firm and assertive tone. "Come here and hug your Mother."
Walking forward with a small unseen smile, Xenovia reached out and quickly found herself within the embrace of her mother.
"I missed you." The blue haired warrior admitted.
Griselda smiled and ran a hand through Xenovia's hair. "And I missed you. . . I'm glad to see you're doing well."
Suddenly both women found a third individual wrapped around them both. "I love you two so much!" Asia added in, while the mother and daughter duo both had a slight twitch in their brows. However, after a small moment the women just accepted what was happening and enjoyed the moment. "But we should get moving, as Xenovia probably has a lot of questions."
Griselda nodded and broke away from the girls. "We can walk back to the car and fill her in as much as we can."
"Well I already told her why I was excommunicated and about the Devil Daddy killed. So we could start around there with our explanation." Asia revealed.
"Have you told her anything about the Passione or your Father?" Griselda asked, which caused Asia to shake her head.
"Nope!"
"Then we could start there, but before that let's walk to the car so we can talk in private. However, while we walk, I would like to hear everything that has happened to Xenovia, as it could help us better explain the situation to her knowing what she has experienced. Could you do that for me Xenovia?"
"Yes that should be relatively easy." Xenovia began, while the trio started to walk towards the car. "For the past few months I have been sent on numerous missions for the church with Irina. After finishing our last mission it was revealed that me and Irina both had been selected to take Excalibur swords, but that was slightly delayed as I discovered Heaven was in quite the disarray. So that was why I reached out to Mom, as I was hoping she could shed some light on the situation for me. Thus here I am looking for answers."
"Hmm so they wanted to give you a Holy Sword." Griselda began, while she began to think to what Naruto had shared with her about Kokabiel. "It makes sense considering you're a powerful individual who wields Durandal. Though it looks like Heaven is really trying hard to raise the power of their forces. First they make me an Angel and then they wanted to give you a Holy Sword. I'm almost hurt I was never offered one though."
"Wait you're an Angel!" Xenovia yelled in shock, while Griselda merely nodded and motioned for the girl to quiet down.
"Yes but not so loud Xenovia. Most will just think you're strange, but you never know who is spying on us."
Xenovia lowered her head. "My apologies, but how are you an Angel?"
"It was a program started to increase the number of Angels in Heaven, since God can no longer create any and reproduction of Angels has been going rather slowly. Though I should mention I was the first human to become an Angel, as the program is far from complete. Essentially it was made using the same method and reasons as the Devils Evil Pieces." Griselda explained, while Xenovia tilted her head in confusion.
"Wait why can God no longer create Angels?" The devout follower asked, which made both Asia and Griselda frown.
"Because God has been dead for centuries." Griselda revealed, which completely shattered everything Xenovia thought she knew. "In reality Heaven has been run by Michael and the other higher up Angels. They have kept a false sense of God to keep order, but discovering this along with one other thing is why I've left the church."
Xenovia was at a loss for words, as she couldn't form a proper retort. Instead she merely froze in place, which left the three women standing in the parking lot of the airport. Asia felt bad for her friend, as she could understand the complete confusion going through her mind. Griselda on the other hand sighed and bent down onto her knee before resting a hand on Xenovia's shoulder.
"The second reason I left was because I was told how expendable I was to the church. I learned they completely turned their backs on Asia and would have done the same to myself or even worse my precious daughter. However, the man I've chosen to follow and even slightly fall for is nothing like Heaven and the Angels. He would trade his very life just to save a single one of his subordinates. He's a man of integrity and honor who without a doubt will achieve his goal of world peace."
"Just who is this person you speak so highly of?" Xenovia asked, as she had never seen her mother speak with such a burning conviction before.
"Asia's Father, Naruto Uzumaki. The leader of the Passione and the world's strongest human." Griselda replied before standing tall on her feet. "When Heaven excommunicated Asia they created an enemy. One who took all of Heaven's power on Earth and left the Angel's in complete chaos. Since that day I have been working closely with Naruto to help him create a better world."
"So God is dead and you're working with Asia's Dad who is some kind of extremely powerful human?"
"He's more powerful than any Angel or Devil. in fact his power was enough to leave Michael and Gabriel shaking in fear."
Xenovia lowered her head and her eyes seemed to zone out. "I don't know what to say." The girl admitted, as she chewed her cheeks.
"I do." Asia spoke up finally, as her eyes suddenly met Xenovia's. "Leave the church. . . Leave the church and come be with your family. You're a remarkable warrior that could easily help the Passione, but above that you're someone that I and Mommy both care for deeply. So it would mean the world to have you here with us."
"B-but to abandon Heaven." Xenovia stuttered in disbelief.
"Is something I've already done fully and do not regret my choice." Griselda cut in, her tone sharp and firm. "But you're a grown girl who can make her own choices and I will not force anything on you. I love you and would respect any choice you make in life, but I've told you my reasons for leaving. So I hope you at least take those into consideration."
Xenovia looked at her mother with a stunned expression and then glanced over to a smiling Asia. Thinking to herself that these were two of the most important people in her life. People that were seen completely insignificant in the eyes of Heaven. Then to make matters even worse she was serving someone who wasn't even there. Making all her last actions and deeds feel hollow.
"Thank you, but if what you say is true and I know it is coming from the both of you. Then I can no longer stay as an agent of Heaven. I will instead stay with the people that mean the most to me. . . My family." Xenovia declared, while she smiled softly. "I shall choose to stay here with the people I love."
Griselda leapt forward and hugged her daughter out of pure joy. "This makes me so happy Xenovia. You have been the only thing missing from my life these past few months. To have you back means the world."
Xenovia felt a warmth in her chest, but her eyes went wide as Asia barreled into her side. "I'm so excited big sis! We can go to school together now and you can even join my Peerage!"
"Your Peerage?"
"Hehe, there is some more we should tell you about my Daddy and the Passione before we take you home. Though we can do that on the ride home." Asia explained with a soft laugh, which caused Xenovia to laugh.
"Very well."
Griselda smiled and began to walk off. "In that case let's get moving."
Asia grinned ear to ear along with Xenovia, while the two girls followed after the Angel.

(With Naruto)
Finished with his meeting, Naruto was slowly entering his office. Meanwhile Issei was following closely behind with a curious expression.
"Hey Dad!" The perverted boy began, which made Naruto's eye twitch. "I thought we were going to train after the meeting?"
Sighing to himself Naruto walked over to a bookshelf and grabbed an aged leather notebook. "Before we train you physically I want to learn the power of your Scared Gear. Along with whatever dwells within you."
"Dwells within me?
Naruto nodded and opened the book before glancing through it. "Kurama and myself both feel another presence within your body. In a way it's similar to mine and Kurama's bond, but yet completely different. I've been doing research in the notes of the man I took the Passione from and discovered there has been documented cases like yours before. However, it's still up in the air to determine both what your Scared Gear is as you've never manifested it and what lives within you really is."
"And how are we gonna do that?"
"Simple." Naruto began, while he closed the notebook and tossed it onto his desk. "We are going to enter your mind. Now sit down in a meditative position."
"W-Wait enter my mind!" Issei stammered nervously, as he began to sweat. "I don't think you want to do that! My mind is kind of a twisted place!"
Naruto glared at Issei with a hardened expression. "If I see a naked Asia wandering around your thoughts I'll have Abbacchio give you a tea sampling."
"What does Abbacchio do to tea?!" The pervert yelled in response, but Naruto simply ignored the boy.
"Just get on the floor." The boss ordered, which Issei obeyed without further question. Next copying Issei's pose Naruto sat cross legged from the boy before activating his Sharingan and Rinnegan. "Now let's get this over with. So just relax and take some deep breaths."
Issei watched Naruto reach outward and place his hand on his forehead. This made the boy feel strange and his eyes suddenly grew heavy. So blinking Issei was met with momentary darkness, but once his eyes opened he was now standing with Naruto in a vast open void.
"What the hell!"
"Not hell Issei. This is your mind, but some would probably argue those are both one in the same." Naruto explained, while he placed his hands to his sides and looked around. "Though this place is pretty empty and I was expecting a lot more beasts. Though my mind looks like a sewer so I guess you can't really predict what you'll find. Though I figured there would at least be some kind of cage holding back whatever demon or monster lives in here."
"Wait what!" Issei yelled in fear, which caused Naruto to glance at the boy.
"Yeah that's how it was for me and Kurama." The blond admitted before he tried to imitate his nine tailed partner. "He was always going on and on about how great he was and how he would get out and kill me the first chance he got. Man when I think back Kurama was a real asshole back then, but after a few years I finally got through to him and we became partners. I'm
Sure it will be hard for you at first, but after some time you might get whatever lives in here to work with you a little bit."
"Wait just let me get this right. There is a demon living in me!" Issei yelled again, which made Naruto shrug.
"Pfffttt I don't know." The blond replied, while he slapped the boy's back. "Just be prepared for some big giant asshole to come making threats to kill you and take your body. Trust me it's annoying at first, but you'll learn to handle whatever is within you. It's what I did after all!"
"I'm really not liking this Dad!" Issei admitted, which made Naruto laugh as he felt large tremors in the ground.
"Oh looks like whatever it is has finally come over to see us!" Naruto pointed out in excitement, as a crimson silhouette began to take shape before the duo.
"Oh God it's massive!" Issei began as he started to sob in terror.
Naruto grinned ear to ear and looked up to the indimadating dragon glaring him and Issei down. "So I take it you're the one that's been living inside of Issei. Mind telling me just what and who you are?"
The Dragon's slitted eyes focused directly onto Naruto before he released a deep hum.
"Hmmmm you're an interesting human, much more so than the groveling pervert that has control of my power." The Dragon began, his voice loud and commanding. "I've gone by many names in the past. Red Dragon, Welsh Dragon, Red Dragon Emperor and even the Red Dragon Emperor of Domination. You however may call me Ddraig. Now you human who radiates power, tell me your name."
Naruto folded his arms over his chest and smirked. "That's quite boastful of an introduction, but allow me to introduce myself!" Naruto declared as he struck a pose reminiscent of Jiraiya by bouncing on a single leg. "I am the man who has no enemies in the north, south east and west. I am the discipline of the strongest of the Sannin and a Sage of Mount Myōboku. The world's strongest man, greatest chef and the author that makes thousands of women swoon. I'm the man from another dimension, a proud Father and the leader of the Passione. The one and only Naruto Uzumaki!"
Issei looked up to his idol with stars in his eyes. "So cool!"
Ddraig on the other hand sighed in annoyance. "I see, so you're an idiot just like that pervert I'm stuck with." The Dragon insulted in a rather disappointed voice that made the blond fall flat on his face. "But now introductions are over I assume you're curious about myself and my relation to the Sacred Gear that is within Issei."
Recomposing himself and standing to his feet, Naruto looked at Ddraig with a serious gaze. "Yes that is correct."
"Well allow me to explain myself. Years ago I was locked in mortal combat with my eternal rival Albion; the Vanishing Dragon. During one of our many battles we were interrupted by the Angel, Devil and Fallen Angel Factions. All of whom were at war with one another. This enraged us both and we lashed at against those who interrupted our glorious battle. Unfortunately our actions lead to the destruction of our bodies and our souls being sealed into Scared Gears, which were handed down through the generations from one user to the next. From then on mine and Albion's users would meet in combat and fight each other. Continuing our battle throughout the centuries. You Issei Hyoudou are the current user of my power, the Booster Gear!"
"Awesome." Issei mumbled, as the whole story just made his life get even more interesting.
Naruto on the other hand scoffed and waved his hand around the area. "So what's the price for this power? His soul? His body, maybe something else entirely?"
"Nothing. Together he and I will become partners and defeat our enemies and most importantly Albion." Ddraig declared, which made Naruto's eyebrow twitch.
"Wait you're gonna work with Issei just like that?" The blond asked in disbelief. "No I'm gonna take your body or help yourself you miserable human?"
"Of course. He might be a pervert with little drive, but it's within my best interest to help him. Also he seems to have you to help him as well. So I have high hopes for my future partner." Ddraig replied, which made Naruto grind his teeth.
Then suddenly at his moment of snapping, Naruto began to laugh in a voice that made Issei and even Ddraig slightly nervous. "Partners just like that." The man chuckled darkly, while his eyes grew a murderous intent behind them. "That stupid fucking fox!"
Issei was surprised as he was suddenly no longer within his mind, instead he was back inside Naruto's office. Where the man was now walking out of.
"Dad where are you going?" Issei asked nervously.
"I'm gonna kill him!" Naruto replied as he vanished, leaving a rather confused Issei behind.

(With Kurama)
Walking around on all fours, Kurama was currently in the basement of the Uzumaki household. An area of the house that was dedicated to the curious fox who worked on various projects and experiments to help further humanity. Though as the fox used one of his nine tails to grab a flask with some sort of fluid the door to the basement suddenly opened.
"Ahh you're finally here, good." Kurama began, while he placed the flask down and looked up to a confused Giorno. The latter of whom was descending down the basement staircase.
"Father mentioned after our meeting you wished to see me Kurama." Giorno began, while at the same time bowing in respect to the creature. "How can I be of assistance?"
Kurama grinned with a wide toothy smile. "Well I have a project in mind, but I need your help to make my idea work. Considering you're the only person I know that could actually help me."
"I'm flattered, but why am I so important?" Giorno asked, which made Kurama chuckle.
"Well there is two reasons that makes you useful to my plan. The first is your Scared Gear, which is quite useful and versatile. The second however, is that you luckily took after your Mother in the intellect department and are not a complete idiot like your Father." Kurama explained, while making sure to find someway to insult Naruto. "Basically you make the perfect assistant for my current objective, which is to produce an organic body for myself using a combination of Science, Fuinjutsu and your Scared Gear."
Giorno blinked in surprise before looking down at the fox. "But why would you want to make a body Kurama? And is such a thing even possible?"
Kurama smirked. "Kid if you haven't realized your family makes a habit of making the impossible possible. Besides I'm essentially a creature made of pure chakra with no real physical body. So I want to have my own body to be more of my own individual. It's a selfish request, but if we can create a body for myself it would be easier for me to operate for the Passione. Considering I would draw much less attention by possessing a humanoid body verse walking around as a red eyed nine tailed fox."
"I understand completely Kurama and I shall help you in any way that I can." Giorno began, while taking a slight bow to the creature. "I promise you that we shall create you a body and an Uzumaki never goes back on their word."
"Hehe, than let's get started! After running an errand for Asia this morning I am a little behind on my work."
Giorno nodded and was about to walk forward, but a sudden loud bang alerted his attention to the exit of the basement. Where his father was standing with his foot shot outwards, meanwhile the door to the basement was hardly hanging on its hinges.
"Fuck you!" Naruto yelled loudly, while he pointed at Kurama.
"Fuck you!" Kurama instantly yelled back, while he pointed a tail at Naruto and didn't even bother to question the context of the insult. "And don't go around breaking my door!"
Naruto held out one middle finger quickly followed by a second. "Fuck you." The most powerful man in the world yelled again, which caused Kurama's eyes to twitch.
"Giorno since I lack the ability please flip your Father off for me." The fox instructed in a calm voice.
"I'd rather not get involved in your quarrel Kurama." Giorno admitted with a nervous laugh.
"Yeah don't bring my kid into this asshole! This is between you and me!" Naruto shouted, while he pointed at the fox.
"I'll do whatever I want! Besides what's got you so pissy! Did Asia finally tell you she likes me better?" Kurama asked, as now he was just trying to make the situation worse.
"Fuck you Kurama!" Naruto growled in frustration, while he folded his arms. "Let's be partners. It's in my best interest. There is no catch involved." The blond began, as he mimicked what Ddraig had told Issei. "I got stuck with an asshole fox that's mocked me and made my life hell. Meanwhile Issei got a cool dragon that wants to help him. So fuck you, you unhelpful bastard!"
Kurama's eyes twitched once more, as it finally started to hit him why Naruto was so frustrated. "You're mad because I wouldn't help you when we first met and that I antagonized you for several years?" The fox asked, which made Naruto nod. "And what do you want some form of apology?"
"That would be acceptable." Naruto replied in a matter of fact tone.
"In that case." Kurama started off, as he slowly walked forward and glared at Naruto. "You can eat shit and die! You were an annoying brat all those years ago and you're even worse as an adult!"
"Ahhhhh!" Naruto yelled, while he pointed a finger at the fox. "You bitch!"
"Is that the best insult you have? Maybe if you weren't such an annoying dumbass maybe I would have helped you more." The fox sneered in a taunting manor, which made Naruto grind his teeth.
"You wanna fight jackass?" Naruto challenged, which made Kurama growl.
"Bring it you fucking idiot!" Kurama yelled back, as things were getting worse and worse.
In fact Giorno knew it was only a moment of time before he would have to break the two apart. If that was even possible.
"It's every other week with these two." Giorno sighed to himself softly, while at the same time shaking his head. "And they ask why I moved out."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(With Asia)
Walking in front of Xenovia and Griselda, Asia was currently leading both women to the door of the Uzumaki household. Though as they approached the door suddenly opened to reveal Giorno. The latter of whom was slightly scratched up and looked exhausted.
"Big brother? What happened." Asia suddenly asked, which made the man simply sigh and ruffle his sister's hair before he walked passed all three women.
"Father and Kurama are at it again. So I'm heading home, I'll see you later Asia." The gangster explained, while he walked off without any further interaction.
Asia puffed her cheeks and stomped into the house, where she found both Naruto and Kurama rolling around the floor biting and tugging on each other. Meanwhile Issei was huddling into a corner cowering in fear
"What are you two doing?" Asia asked, which made both the individuals stop.
"Uh-. . ." Naruto mumbled nervously, while Issei suddenly ran up and hugged Asia's legs.
"Oh thank God you're back Lady Asia!" The boy sobbed in relief.
"I don't know what is going on, but it stops now. We have a new guest." Asia explained, while she held her hand out to Xenovia. The latter of whom was looking onto the scene with wide eyes. "Everyone this is Xenovia. She shall be living here with us for the foreseeable future. Xenovia allow me to introduce my Daddy, Kurama and Issei."
Xenovia looked between the supposed strongest man, demon fox and crying pervert with a mixture of emotions. As this was not how she expected her first introduction to go. Griselda on the other hand walked forward and pinched Naruto's ear. Followed by the woman lifting the man up onto his feet.
"Honestly Naruto I can't leave you alone without you causing some sort of mess. Though I can see where Asia gets her knack for creating trouble wherever she goes." Griselda began, while she forcefully dragged Naruto over to a sofa. "I will just have to be the one who keeps order within our family and keep both you and Asia under control."
"Our family?" Naruto mumbled softly, but was quickly forced to take a seat.
"Sit and behave." Griselda instructed, as she was starting to use her assertive behavior more and more around Naruto. Something that made Kurama snicker at in amusement, but that only caught the Angel's attention. "And Kurama you're just as bad! You act all high and mighty, but you cause just as much trouble as everyone else."
"He started it!" The fox protested.
"And I'm finishing it." Griselda replied back with a dead emotionless stare.
Xenovia watched her mother chastise everyone and shivered. "Maybe I shouldn't stay here. I forgot how scary Mom gets when she is angry."
Asia giggled and waved the girl off. "Oh don't be like that big sis, but let's properly introduce you to everyone." Asia purposed, while she cleared her throat and silenced the room. "Let's stop all this fighting and arguing and welcome Xenovia into her new home everyone. As she not only will be living here, but will also join my Peerage and the Passione."
Naruto hearing this finally calmed himself and stood up. "It seems every time I look away you're adding someone new into my gang, but since she is Griselda's daughter I have absolutely no issue with that." The most powerful man alive then stalked over to Xenovia and suddenly hugged the girl. "It's a pleasure to meet you Xenovia. My little Asia has told me all about you, but my name is Naruto. Though if you like you can call me Dad. As anyone who my little Asia looks up to as an older sister is someone I see as my own child as well."
Xenovia was surprised by the man's words and affection, but was filled with a warm feeling. Considering the girl never had a father or father figure in her life, which was one reason she was so drawn to a Heavenly Father. However, despite everything that has happened she finally got that fatherly affection she always yearned for in a way she never imagined.
"O-okay." The girl stammered nervously, while Naruto backed away with a wide grin.
"So Xenovia is here to stay, but where are we gonna put her?" Naruto asked in a curious voice. "I mean our house is quite small, but we could always buy a new place of renovate our current one."
"Hmm building onto our house could be beneficial, as we do have the space for additions." Asia began, while she looked to Xenovia. "Though that could take some time and we do have limited house space, as we didn't expect for multiple people to live here so suddenly. So we can plan for additions, but in the meantime Xenovia can take Griselda's room."
Naruto lifted his brow in curiosity. "I'm all for building onto the house, but why not place her in the guest room? I know that's Kurama's room, but it's not like he needs the area to sleep considering he's made of Chakra. So it can be a temporary adjustment."
"Actually my room isn't open any longer." Kurama spoke up, which made everyone look to the fox. "Asia had me cobble together a surprise this morning for Issei, which I would have told you about if you didn't barge into the basement looking for a fight."
"Wait a surprise for me?" Issei asked nervously, while he looked to Asia in fear. "Should I be afraid?"
Asia giggled. "No silly! See I figured your training and work with the Passione would go better if you lived with us! So I had Kurama take your things and place them into the guest room, which is your new room!"
"And what about my parents!" Issei yelled.
"Oh Asia had me use the Passione's resources to send them on a six year vacation around the world. Meanwhile I told them you would be living with a friend to finish school as it was a trip for two. . . They were remarkably okay with leaving you behind, I mean they already packed their bags and took off. I don't blame them."
"Wait so my parents abandoned me?" Issei asked in a soft voice, while he suddenly looked down.
Naruto seeing his underling slightly down sighed and patted his head, as being left by your own parents would hurt. "It's okay Issei." The blond tried to comfort, but to his surprise Issei suddenly looked up with a happy grin.
"I just totally upgraded on parents! Lord Naruto is the Dad I always wanted and Griselda is the perfect Mom! Plus I have two adorable sisters now! This new family kicks ass!" Issei yelled happily, which made Asia clap her hands happily and Naruto drop his mouth in surprise.
"Wait you're way too okay with this! And me and Griselda are not married so she isn't your Mom!"
"Oh speaking of Griselda, since Issei and Xenovia have rooms of their own Griselda will be staying with you Daddy. Since your bed is big enough for multiple people!" Asia explained, which made Griselda nod with a pleased smile.
"Oh that's a very smart idea Asia!" The Angel praised, while showing that she really was trying to pursue a relationship with Naruto.
"Wait what!" Naruto yelled in confusion, while everyone seemed to be finished with the conversation.
"Come on Xenovia I'll show you to your new room and we can help Mommy move her things into Daddy's room!" Asia explained as she and Xenovia disappeared up the stairs.
"Hey Kurama mind showing me where you placed all my stuff?" Issei asked, which made the fox shrug his shoulders.
"Sure why not." Kurama replied as he and Issei walked to the pervert's new room. Leaving Naruto and Griselda alone in the living room of the house.
"Well Naruto why don't me and you work on dinner for everyone?" The Angel asked.
"Wait are you okay with all this?" Naruto asked, as everyone seemed to be on the same page except for him. "I mean won't this be awkward? I sleep naked after all!"
"Oh you're still worried about that?" Griselda asked with a small laugh, while she playfully slapped the blond's chest. "Naruto we have already seen each other naked. Besides if it makes you feel better I'll sleep naked too!"
"W-What?" Naruto stammered nervously, while the Angel merely giggled and walked off.
"Come on Naruto dinner won't start itself and you're the cook around here."
Naruto stood motionless by himself, as a thought suddenly occurred to him. All of this happened so quickly, but was executed with near flawless precision. This wasn't some random coincidence or events that lead to their current situation. No somebody planned this out beforehand and there was only one person with that kind of cunning genius, his daughter Asia.
"That little trickster struck again." Naruto grumbled to himself, while asking just how much more did the girl have planned and what exactly was her end goal?
The answer was simple, but Naruto would never figure it out. As Asia's master plan was already in full motion, as step one was to start the harem. Step two was to make room for more women. Then finally step three was to fill the house with a kaa-san harem and create a new family for the young trickster.
