Ahem, I have updated the latest chapter with full alacrity because I don't want to face any consequences…
AlfaDARK: Alfa, No harem. This is a couple fic.
Guest: Bro… Naruto isn't all-power or invisible.
There are people who can go toe to toe with him in his strongest form. Some can actually kill him.
It's boring to write a one-sided fight. Having him throw mountain busting techniques from the start is… I Don't know, I feel like it's disappointing.
VincenteVanCoco: Hope you like the fight scenes bro.
Odin RoRSNV: Post war Naruto.
Jimivanrey5: Well, you are not wrong. I take solace in the fact that it gets better thanks to my beta.
lordshuvra: Lol. But I liked his broody personality better.
Deidara514: You are my gee bro. As for the pairing… Y'all should know by now. As for your last question, my gee, they might show up… But maybe in the future like way into the future.
Lil,huesos, peronincio, dasgun, spark18, omarcornelius, Cutelittlewhitefox, thor 49, nicklause and others… I appreciate the review.

Have fun reading guys!
You know the format. Blah blah. Don't lemme bore you by writing the entire thing.
Destructo08 did it! He murdered them all! Yeah, he did it! He didn't even ask for the body. He's the reason, my blunders went missing. He is the reason, my blunders not living. He's killed them before, he'll do it again.
He murdered all those motherfuckers I created!
Disclaimer: This disclaimer thing is becoming tiresome. I own my ass.
CHAPTER 19
John was a very unhappy man, chewing a huge piece of steak, all the while glaring at the steakhouse entrance.
Any time now, he's gonna show up, he mentally repeated.
Gaia, like the mother goddess she was, ate like a true Olympian goddess with finesse and grace. She had her legs crossed as she cut through the delicate meal.
"Gaia-nee, do you think you can use magic to locate Naruto?" Martha asked.
The steakhouse and the steak itself was worth the money. The waiters, the atmosphere, etc was amazing.
"Well, Naruto isn't a kid and he knows his way around Japan," Gaia replied. She forked a piece of meat and saw the pout on Martha's face. It was an irresistible one. "just this once for you dear," she sighed.
Gaia put her hands forward and let her eyes glow for dramatic effect before her forest green energy slowly seeped out of her palms and converged a few inches above them. An intricate magic circle was taking form. It took a circular shape and before John and Martha's very eyes, the orb of pure magic energy glowed brightly.
"Wow! It looks like a baby green Earth," Martha cooed.
Gaia smugly wiped her nose with her thumb. It seems the human world, a certain blondie to be precise, has rubbed off the Olympian. She was enjoying the show she put up herself.
John was mesmerized by the magic construct before his eyes widened when he remembered the supernatural world rule. He turned around and noticed everyone was asleep.
"I don't get it," John said as he took a seat, his worries washed away.
"Get what?"
"You two, you guys can make the world a better place with your powers but you live life like any normal human would," he elaborated further.
"It's what's best for the world."
"Why? Why would you guys leave everything as it is? Terrorists are terrorizing innocent people around the world and you guys with the superpowers are here getting fat. Aren't you ashamed? Don't you have a sense of Justice?" John slammed his fist on the table.
The world would be a better place if these two help maintain peace worldwide.
"John!" Gaia snapped in an uncharacteristic manner. "We all have our own problems to deal with."
"Make the world a better place? The world doesn't owe us anything, Policeman. If someone like me or Naruto interferes in your world, It's only natural to attract people on the same level from our world with our activities," she explained.
"We lay low because human threats are meant for humans. If someone like us interferes then the balance is lost and in order to bring balance, Villains like us will rise against humans. Do you get it now?"
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't think of it that way."
"It's alright. Many people don't." Gaia waved him off and resumed her search.
(Scene Change: Uzumaki Mansion)
Naruto stood in his room, glancing sideways, looking at a tear in time and space. Sparing a glance at the loli who was standing right in front of him, Staring at him with curiosity. She reminded him of the rabbit goddess so much, it gave him chills
The loli girl walked through the portal and turned around waiting at the other end as if telling him it was safe and harmless.
Naruto exhaled and steeled himself mentally. Here goes nothing.
The moment his foot crossed the portal and made contact with surprisingly firm thin air, it lit up with a brilliant flame of golden chakra making him raise an eyebrow at the involuntary transformation.
The Ouroboros Dragon watched as his body crossed the portal. With each part lighting up in golden flames as they made contact with the dimension void until he was engulfed entirely by the golden light. He looked like a human-sized lantern amidst the colors of the Dimensional Gap.
Naruto stood—in all his bad-ass fox glory—in a pose worthy of a model as he took in the details of the Dimensional Gap.
Colors… He thought with a dry look, unaware of the hazards the Kurama cloak protected him from.
The last time he was here, he was too busy fighting for his life to take in the scenery… on both counts.
Ophis nodded her head in approval behind him when he stood in her house, fully intact and whole. She wasn't about to tell him the Dimensional Gap rips everything apart into pieces. If he was to help her, surviving the dimensional void was just the tip of the iceberg.
Naruto tried to sense the entire place with Sage Mode but it was so vast, his sage-enhanced sensory abilities couldn't cover it, even with Kurama's chakra boosting it. The void felt empty and silent, except for the supermassive source of energy standing behind him.
If Naruto Uzumaki hadn't fought a goddess all alone, he would have surely pissed his pants, sensing the energy of the little girl behind him. It was unlike anything he's ever sensed. It was like a massive snake was looming over him.
Ophis moved closer and tried to grab Naruto's billowing cloak, watching the tattered spots with red edges. It was intriguing, it was like he was wearing fire.
The blonde ninja felt his hair stand on edge and he turned around quickly. "Is this your home?"
Ophis withdrew her arm back to her side and nodded.
"So, uh, where's the intruder that evaded your home?" he inquired, looking around for said intruder.
"You survived. Now, it's time to call the intruder," she said, her tone lacking emotion.
Naruto's eyes widened uncontrollably when another signature, much more massive than hers entered his senses.
There were two of them? And it felt nostalgic but he couldn't wrap his head around it.
The new energy was moving so fast and before he knew it, tremors shook his entire form as if a meteor landed on a continent. He didn't know how but he felt winds and earthquakes as something enormous landed behind him.
Naruto didn't like this at all. He was between two massive energies. It was like standing between two Ten-Tails.
He heard the beating of wings before a hot breath washed past him. He looked at Ophis who was looking past him, her head angled to the highest degree possible, for her little frame, to look up.
The massive beast sniffed the blonde twice as he slowly turned around.
Naruto's cross-shaped pupils landed on a huge scaly snout of a dragon. A hill made out of bones protruded upward on top of the snout.
Massive, green-slitted eyes blinked twice before the dragon stood up to its full height, in all its glory, and tilted its head at the glowing chakra being that felt human. The Dragon of Dragons had never seen such powerful and refined Chakra… except for that one time.
Naruto's jaw dropped when he saw the dragon in its full glory and pointed a shaky finger at the dragon. "G-g-great H-hot Sauce Thug?!" he yelled, his voice reverberating through the dimensional void.
Great Red, Narrowed his eyes at the insolent creature. One of the mongrels that snake recruited to cast his magnificent self out, no doubt. This one would make a fine snack today.
The dragon unfurled its mighty wings in a threatening manner and growled at the blonde shinobi.
The chakra-being still stared on at the magnificent beast in a stupefied manner, hands still shaking.
"Did his presence alone petrify him?" Ophis thought in disappointment.
Great Red opened its maw wide, his entire mouth glowing red, fire bubbling deep within his throat, begging to be unleashed before—
"Cut the act, Great Sauce!" Naruto yelled, waving his fist at the great dragon.
'Great Sauce?' DxD thought. Who dares address him with such degrading titles?
There was only one person with enough balls to call him that. The dragon lowered his head and squinted his massive eyes at the blond.
"Wait…" he trailed off staring at the human below. "Chakra boy?!" Great Red bellowed with surprise all over his draconic face.
"Haha! You humongous bastard!" Naruto laughed like he just met an old friend.
Great Red threw his head back and laughed uncontrollably. "Bwaahahahaha!"
Ophis was a dragon, a powerful old dragon who rarely displayed emotion, nah, she didn't understand human emotions but today she was surprised. Very surprised. She understood what it means to be surprised.
"So you were the pest she was talking about? You red Bastard." Naruto chuckled, wiping tears from the corner of his eyes.
Well, Ophis never called him a pest but when did Naruto Uzumaki let a chance to diss creatures that can kill him slip?
"What did you say, you microscopic bastard?!" Great Red roared slamming a claw forward.
(Scene Change)
"I-i can't find Naruto." Gaia stuttered as the earth ball spinned furiously.
"Don't panic, maybe he's hiding somewhere or maybe you can find him... yet." John proposed.
The policeman was upset; The blonde stood him up. When he thought he finally had the perfect chance to convince the blonde.
"Sage Mode… I didn't take Sage Mode into consideration," Gaia whispered and began her search anew.
Martha was busy trying to pack her long, overflowing hair into a neat ponytail when she asked, "What's Sage Mode?"
"Sage Mode Is what he calls it. In layman's terms, Naruto can tap into the power of Nature and in this state, he becomes one with Nature and his presence is undetectable."
"So a hermit is among the growing weird list of what Naruto is. The guy can summon a gigantic fox for crying out loud! Are you sure your brother ain't a god?"
Naruto isn't just the type to up and vanish all of a sudden… at least not willingly, anyways. He was too damn lazy to do that. Something had to have happened to the blonde. It's been an hour now.
(Scene change)
Naruto sat cross-legged on thin air, swatting Ophis's hands away. The loli had been poking him here and there, every now and then, trying to grab his chakra cloak.
"So, what you're telling me is that 'you' were born in the Dimensional Gap, and 'you' invaded the birthplace of 'her'?" he said, pointing between both beings.
"You didn't like visitors because… Noise, and 'you', wanted 'him' to leave, and 'he' refused to leave."
Ophis nodded her head.
"Now, 'you' didn't leave because...real estate, acrobatics, and flying space?"
"I can fly around as much as I want," the dragon huffed.
"So, 'you two' can't live together in this massive space?!" Naruto yelled with disbelief.
"Great Red is too noisy. I want the silence back."
Naruto jumped up to his feet in frustration. He was under the weather. He wasn't cut out to be a shrink nor could he play shrink with the strongest beings of this world.
"I'm too young for this shit. I need a drink." Naruto thought out loud.
'Naruto…" Great Red donned a serious look getting his attention. "Have you found a way back?"
Naruto looked down in a dejected manner and shook his head.
"You should have known there was no way out."
Great Red was hands down the strongest being in DxD and even the Dragon of Dragons himself had no solution for the blonde's problem.
"Ophis, did you promise you'll make his wish come true?" Great Red asked.
"Anything he wanted as long as he could drive you out," she replied.
Great Red shook his head in shame. "You shouldn't give a man like him hope."
Ophis raised an eyebrow at Great Red. Why was he all calm and collected all of a sudden. He was like an old man.
"He's a jumper, Ophis."
Ophis' purple orbs widened uncontrollably for the first time in her existence.
"A jumper? sounds kinda cool," Naruto thought.
This was the first time hearing the term and if the red bastard lizard knew it all along, why didn't he tell him about it?
Deep down, Naruto knew Ophis couldn't make his wish come true but his naive side, his optimistic side, his foolish side hoped desperately that she could. If Great Red, who was the strongest in this universe couldn't grant him his wish then how could the second strongest pull off what the first couldn't.
"A… jumper." She's heard stories but this was her first time seeing one in person. No wonder he was talking to Great Red casually.
It is said that a jumper only appears once in a million years. They either save the world or doom it.
A jumper is the highest order of aliens. Said to have even come from beyond the great 'Xs'. Naruto Uzumaki, the man whose house she was in a few hours ago wasn't from an alternate dimension, she came to this startling realization and was awed.
He wasn't from ExE, he came from far beyond that.
He was from another different reality entirely.
Speaking about the jumper, "So, enough about this jumper shit. Tell me—"
Naruto's speech was cut short when all three beings, himself included, currently in the dimensional gap snapped their head in the same direction.
A fourth being had entered the gap. It was a familiar devil signature. The dragons didn't recognize it but the Jumper did.
"No way!" Naruto thought before he zoomed off.
.
.
.
Naruto skidded to a halt and placed a hand on Asia's body, healing her with Kurama's energy. Her skin was already peeling off when he got there but thankfully she was still alive.
What were those brats doing? Who were they fighting? These questions raced through Naruto's mind.
"There's a war going on in the underworld," Ophis informed.
Naruto snapped his head up at her. His students were in the battlefield? Those children aren't ready for the horror of wars yet.
"I can take you there if you want. I have business there," Ophis offered.
Naruto, who now held a fully healed but unconscious Asia in his arms bridal style, nodded at her.
(Scene Change: The Underworld)
Issei, in his incomplete Juggernaut Drive form, was destroying everything in his path. He had lost all sense of reason as he was blindly attacking Vali—in his mastered Juggernaut Drive—who was trying his best with Rias to bring him back to his senses.
They had just defeated Diodora Astaroth, the devil prick who challenged them to a rating game after kidnapping Asia and saved her from the clutches of the psychotic perv when, suddenly, a bright light engulfs her, and when it dies down, she's nowhere to be found.
Then, this new guy, Shalba, came waltzing in, claiming he had sent Asia to the Dimensional Gap and that she would have been dead by now because of the corrosive nature of the gap.
Issei, in an amazing feat of main characters losing their marbles, starts searching around for Asia, denying the fact that she was gone, dead, before Rias snapped him out of it.
A bad move there eh, Rias.
Issei finally came to terms with reality and he really did lose his marbles this time.
Issei's pupils bled green and his Sacred Gear gem blipped. Ddraig warns the devils to flee if they want to live and tells Shalba he made a wrong move and would pay with his life. Consumed with grief and anger, he activates Juggernaut Drive and kills Shalba.
Vali was in the Dimensional Gap with his team searching for a lost legendary item called the lost black lace panties—Err, sorry, wrong story! He was actually searching for... Maou-knows-what— before he sensed a change in his rival and came back to the underworld with his team to knock some sense back into his rival.
The ORC watched from the sidelines helplessly. Irina and Rossweisse arrived from the front lines with a… Projector. The two claimed the song could calm Issei down.
Team Vali watched the exchange going on between the ORC and wondered what kind of song could calm a dragon down.
Vali and Rias watched as Issei roared, red energy bursting out of his body.
"Your servant will die at this rate if you don't find a way to snap him out of Juggernaut drive."
"Issei…" Rias whispered helplessly.
The ORC all planted their feet into the ground and raised a defensive magic circle up when another mighty burst of red energy rushed out of Issei's deformed dragonish body.
Fwoop.
Boom.
All everyone saw was a white and blonde blur landing in front of Issei. The landing kicked up dust and hid the person from view.
Naruto stood with Asia, still unconscious in his hands, and raised an eyebrow at the grotesque dragon in front of him.
It was ugly, but not the ugliest he's ever come across. The ugliest dragon he had ever come across was that dragon named uh...Dark Uzi or was it Black Music? Naruto couldn't remember but anyhow, that dragon was ugly as fuck.
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the blonde teacher. None more surprised than Rias, Rossweisse, and Kuroka.
"Uzumaki Naruto." Vali wondered how he got here until he saw Ophis.
"What happened to you, Hyoudou?" Naruto asked, walking towards the huge dragon his student had turned into.
"Sensei!" they yelled.
"Get back, Senpai!" Rossweisse yelled.
Naruto stopped in his tracks and turned his head to her and beheld her Valkyrie outfit. She was truly blessed by the gods, he thought. Her green orbs twinkling with genuine worry for him.
Rias flew to his side and levelled a mean glare at her teacher. She pried Asia's prone form from his hands and retreated back when Issei released a burst of red energy.
"How did you get in here? Were you in this with Shalba?"
"Shabba?" Naruto's brows furrowed. Who was Shabba? There goes cow-tits with her conspiracy theories; baseless accusations if he did say so himself.
"Girl, go bother someone else, shit," he groaned.
Issei roared again and released the same burst of red energy. Rias was blown off her feet by the shockwave and protected Asia from the harsh winds the energy caused in the air.
Naruto stood firmly rooted in his spot, glued with chakra to the ground, totally ignoring the rampaging Issei. "Is that Hyoudou?" he asked her. He had to raise his voice with the winds and the noise Issei was creating.
"Why are you here?" Rias asked, ignoring his question.
"Just answer the damn question." Naruto gave her a flat stare. Rias nodded to confirm his suspicion.
Naruto turned his attention back to Issei and resumed his leisure trek towards the deformed Dragon.
"So, this is how Kakashi & Ero-senin felt every time I lost it, eh?"
Naruto stopped a few feet away from the dragon.
"Is he mad?" Bikou wondered, scratching his temples.
Who the heck was crazy enough to go near an out-of-control Crimson Gear Emperor in Juggernaut Drive?
Rossweisse wanted to fly in and save Naruto, and so did Kuroka, but Vali signalled everyone to be on standby. He wanted to see the blonde in action himself.
"Oi, snap out of it. You are making a lot of people worried." Naruto craned his neck up and lectured his transformed student all the while snapping his fingers.
Issei roared at Naruto and tried to punch him.
Rosswiesse's heart almost leapt out of her chest as Issei lashed out at the blonde.
Naruto sidestepped the punch that broke the ground he was on a moment ago before huge vines grew from the ground and trapped Issei's hand.
"Fight it, Issei. You are strong," Naruto cheered on like a coach.
Issei released a guttural roar and tore the vines restricting him.
"Guess not," Naruto said as he jumped over a massive red hand that tried to swat him away.
Time for the last resort.
Naruto cupped his mouth and yelled, "Look Hyoudou, free oppai!"
The deformed dragon, in a once-in-a-lifetime feat, turned around to where Naruto was pointing. His anger came back with vengeance when he saw no oppai.
Now, I'm out of options," Naruto mulled. Time for the last-ditch effort.
"Mokuton: Ketsugo Nē."The blonde ninja clapped his hands and massive wooden roots circled Issei, binding him in place.
Naruto then activates his Rinnegan and jumps onto Issei's head. He dips his finger into his mouth and wrote the kanji for 'mind' and 'link'. A third seal with the kanji for 'sit' appeared in his right hand.
"Sorry, Issei," he apologized in advance before he reared his hands back, his hands glowing with chakra before he slapped the seal on his dragonified student's head.
"Fuinjutsu: Kakuan Nitten Suishu."
Issei's dragon form went wide-eyed before he lost consciousness, slowly shrinking before the perverted Issei they all knew was lying unconscious on the floor.
What Naruto used was a bastardized version of the First Hokage's technique; Hokage-Shiki Jijun Jutsu — Kakuan Nitten Suishu. The original one didn't require the Rinnegan and seals to work but was limited to only Bijūs so he tinkered with it a bit and the result was, FuinJutsu: Kakuan Nitten Suishu.
"Would you look at that, he did it," Vali commented, turning down his Juggernaut Drive.
Naruto ignored Rias and her peerage as they rushed to where Issei was, the pervert had already woken up and was now in-between Rias's boobs and, soon, his friends were gathered around him, the Valkyrie included. Asia too had woken up and they were one big happy student/teacher group.
Now that his students' lives were safe and sound, it's time to resolve some… Issues.
A certain cat and hero were on top of a hill in the distance.
Naruto did a Leaf Shunshin and appeared between Team Vali. Cold purple eyes with black concentric circles met panicked blue ones behind square goggles.
"Shit." Arthur couldn't move. Those eyes made sure of it. The Killer Intent Naruto was releasing froze him in place.
Naruto grabbed Arthur by the throat and lifted him off his feet. His feet dangling in the air helplessly, Excalibur lying on the ground.
"Fast?" Bikou thought as he whipped out his staff and tried to jab Naruto with it but an outstretched palm foiled his plans.
Bikou didn't know what hit him, he just knew he was flying through the air at an alarming rate before he crashed into a boulder.
"You," Naruto hissed and formed a Rasengan in his left hand.
"I-I c-ca-ack." Arthur tried to speak but Naruto cut him short.
"Shh… Katon:"—The Rasengan was halfway towards its intended target; Arthur's face, when it caught flames—"Rasengan," he finished.
The Rasengan was so close to his face, Arthur could feel the heat searing his skin. It was prickling and sizzling and it hurt so bad. It was just a millimeter away from impact before—
"Divide!"
The Rasengan shrunk to half its original size and stopped at a millimetre close to Arthur's face.
"Huh, The Divine Dividing."
Vali shot a blue beam at Naruto and the blonde raised his hands at the incoming beam and split it in two with a Rasengan. A strong gust of wind blew Naruto off the hill Team Vali stood on.
"We're leaving, now," Vali ordered.
The leaders of the great three factions were advancing at an alarming rate. Vali spared one last glance at Naruto who was yelling incoherent words at Kuroka.
"While I was out busting my ass, fighting an ancient demon, trying to wipe your criminal record clean, you were playing villain with a bunch of villain wannabes?!" Naruto hollered.
"Who told you I wanted saving?! You don't get the right to scold me like you're my father!" Kuroka screamed in a childish manner and looked sideways with a pout
Koneko could only watch as the hooded blonde kept on scolding her sister like she was a baby. It felt so weird, the rook didn't know they had such a relationship.
Rias and Rossweisse took notice of the word demon and wiping criminal records but didn't ponder too much on it because Vali had interfered.
"Uzumaki Naruto, the next time we meet, I will fight you."
"Nope," Naruto replied, cleaning his ears out
He's met someone in the past who challenged him to a fight every chance he got. Naruto didn't want another one.
As soon as team Vali disappeared, the leaders of the great three factions entered the scene via a magic circle.
"Naruto? What are you doing here?" Azazel asked the moment he sighted the blond.
"I'm leaving anyway so bye," Naruto waved them goodbye and disappeared with a yellow flash...
...Only to reappear in a yellow flash, on his knees coughing up blood.
"Baka, Did you forget Hiraishin doesn't work outside a powerful sealed dimension?"
"Then… What you're trying to say is that… I-I'm stuck in the underworld?!"
(Scene Change: The Gremory Mansion)
Naruto Uzumaki cursed the gods of the land for his misfortune.
Today, the great Naruto Uzumaki, The Hero of Konoha, Son of the Fourth Hokage, The Fourth Sage of Six Path—albeit not a perfect one—the Jinchūriki of all Nine-Tailed Beasts, And the latest title, The Jumper...
Dined with… Devils.
Yeah, that's right. Naruto Uzumaki sat between Issei and Asia in the Gremory Household.
He sat opposite Rias and his blue orbs met forest green every now and then. Her servants were all present with the four Maous, Azazel, Michael, Irina, Rossweisse, Lord Gremory, and Lady Gremory.
"Naruto-sensei, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," Lady Gremory greeted.
"Ah, yes," Naruto replied with a forced smile and took a sip of water.
Like mother like daughter. All these damn supernatural ladies sure have a nice pair of cow tits on them, don't they?
"I have heard a lot about you from Rias," Lady Gremory added.
"Really now?" Naruto shifted in his chair uncomfortably.
"Naruto-san, you seem uncomfortable, is anything bothering you?" Lord Gremory asked with a poker face.
Naruto stared at Lord Gremory before he scratched his head and said, "I don't know if I should say this but—"
Naruto's blue orbs scanned the entire room, his eyes meeting the eyes of all the supernaturals in the room until they fell on Venelana's violet orbs which were twinkling in interest.
"I have never been around so many… Devils." The way he called the word devils, made the Devils present straighten their backs.
Venelana burst out laughing before the other followed on awkwardly. "Naruto-sensei, are you afraid we might eat your soul like you see in the movies?"
"Nah, it'd take the combined effort of an entire faction to do that," Naruto said offhandedly.
Everybody stopped eating and gave him a flat look.
"What?" Rias bristled.
Naruto burst out laughing at their faces before Venelana followed suit. It almost sounded like a challenge to the adults in the room.
"Really? You can face an entire faction?" she asked between chuckles.
"Goodness, no, Mother Gremory. You should have seen the looks on your faces though," he laughed.
"Call me Venelana," she cut him short.
"Then, none of that Naruto-san stuff from you, too. Just Naruto is fine."
"Na-ru-to." Lady Gremory tested the syllables in her mouth.
Rias dropped her spoon and stared at her mother in disbelief. What was going between her mother and Naruto? Issei gave Rias a pity-filled stare and shook his head as he munched on his meal.
Naruto was a ladies' man. He just had it in him. Ladies, especially Moms, liked the blonde for no reason. His mother wouldn't shut up about Naruto and would take every chance to compare her own son to the blonde teacher.
"It's just that I've had a history with Devils; a bad history."
Rizevim Livan Lucifer flashed through Naruto's mind at that moment.
"Ah, I see. But not all of us are evil," Venelana informed.
"I have been assured of that after I laid my eyes on you," Naruto replied with a smile.
Venelana decided right then and there that she liked the blonde.
Sirzechs coughed into his fist while Rias let out an exasperated gasp at the two.
A perverted smirk slowly crept up Azazel's face.
Naruto's blue orbs met Rossweisse's green ones and she offered him a smile before she took a spoonful of her meal.
"Naruto-san, I'd like it if you'd stop flirting with my wife in my presence," Lord Gremory spoke up.
"This big guy can be very jealous, Naruto." Venelana slapped her husband on the shoulder.
Sirzechs cleared his throat and the action garnered everyone's attention. "Naruto-san, I can't thank you enough for your assistance."
Now, Rias and Rossweisse were very interested.
"Nah, it was nothing. I was protecting someone, too, and your… Devils did a great job."
"They have names, you know," Rias murmured.
"I'm not good with Names," Naruto quipped back.
"Figures, you can't even remember a two-syllable name so how can one expect you to remember names with more syllables."
"Yabe!" Issei began sweating bullets watching his teacher and the girl he liked exchange words.
"Rias!" Lady Venelana chided her daughter.
"Mom, I don't like this man." Rias shot up to her feet and pointed a finger at Naruto.
"Same here," Naruto replied, his lips curving up a bit. He enjoyed seeing her lose her cool and all he had to do was say a few words.
"Sometimes, I wish I could just wipe him off the surface of the earth. I'd be doing the world a favor because this man here is the most despicable human on earth ever!" Rias shot up to her feet and pointed a fork at Naruto.
"Ha. You challenged me to a rating game but too bad, I won't fight my students."
The adults in the house who knew of Naruto's exploits with a certain ancient demon had their eyes widened to the size of saucers.
"You know what, is the rating game offer still down? I'm suddenly getting the itch to discipline my students," Naruto asked.
Azazel had his mouth wide open as he turned his neck like a robot towards Rias.
Rias raised her nose and proposed a bet that would be the icing on top of her victory. "Let's make a bet then, Naruto! The loser does whatever the winner wants for the term."
"Anything?" Naruto asked.
"Buchou," Issei cried anime tears
"Anything!"
"Okay, deal."
"I see, a rating game would strengthen the relationship between students and teacher. It is a great decision. It will happen," Lord Gremory stated.
.
.
.
"So?" Sirzechs questioned.
"They'd all be utterly decimated," Grayfia replied with a poker face.
"They managed to fend off the evil god Loki. Those kids have come a long way," Azazel spoke up, trying to defend his students.
"That was a shared feat," Serafall replied. Michael also nodded at the fact.
Looks like they didn't understand the gravity of the situation, since they didn't know of the blonde sensei's actual strength—if what he showed in his battle against Ashirok was actually his true strength. Grayfia cleared her throat and told them how the outcome of the battle would be like, again.
"If this was a real battle scenario, he would obliterate them all. He'd wipe them out of existence without breaking a sweat."
Sirzechs raised an eyebrow at his wife. Ever since she came back from the Ashirok mission, she had been acting weird. Though he hasn't received a full report on the mission, due to the war and the Old Satan Faction, he was told the blonde had defeated the demon with the help of his friends.
After dinner, Sirzechs had Team Ashirok come to a late-night meeting to give their accounts on Naruto in order to give the young devils an edge.
"I'd advise you guys to call off the rating game," Souji, who had been silent until now, added his two cents.
"What if we added Sou-tan and her peerage?" Serafall asked.
"Wouldn't that be unfair?" Michael asked.
"Even if you added your Rook, Surtr, and Odin's Valkyrie, they'd all lose," Souji replied.
"What did you see? it's like you guys are afraid of him. What happened?" Ajuka questioned.
Grayfia and Souji exchanged glances and made a silent agreement.
"He's Maou level," he dropped the bombshell on them.
Everyone's eyes went wide and Ajuka immediately began to reassess the blonde.
"Maou level?"
"It's very likely, and there's a chance he might be higher than that," Grayfia said with a thoughtful look.
"That guy created a fucking satellite big enough to block the sun, okay! He did it with just a clapping gesture; he fucking clapped his hands! You didn't see those freakish, purple eyes," Souji hollered losing his cool for once in his life.
Those eyes sealed his fate. He could never measure up to the blonde anymore and, as a devil, his entire being respected and feared Naruto Uzumaki for his powers that alone made him furious.
Azazel leaned back on his chair and rubbed his head, feeling a headache. The blonde was just too much of a headache. From normal human to cadre-class, to ultimate-class devil and now, Maou? All in the span of six months.
.
.

Rossweisse's hands shook as she held a contract in her hands. Her eyes widened to unimaginable levels when she saw the perks written in the contract.
"This is just the beginning, Rossweisse-sensei," Rias smirked.
The entirety of the ORC was in Issei's room, a room he was supposed to share with Naruto because the blonde declined to sleep alone, which made Rias red with fury; That means no cuddling with her cute pawn for days!.
Naruto had to leave ASAP.
That's gonna be the first thing she asks after defeating the blonde. And recruiting Odin's Valkyrie was the first step to her victory.
Everything Rossweisse ever wanted except a boyfriend was present here. All she had to do was become a reincarnated devil and serve Rias as her second Rook and what's next? She could gain independence from Rias's peerage if she wanted, given she becomes an ultimate class devil.
There was no thinking twice about this.
"I might introduce you to outstanding single devils your age, Sensei." Rias nailed the coffin.
"Yes, I'd love to—" Rossweisse bit her tongue before she could complete the sentence.
What was this forbearing feeling? As if she was forgetting something important. A conversation cloud popped above her head for a second. In the cloud, her chibi form was flying with bat wings, now a devil, towards a man walking away.
"Senpai, wait for me!" she yelled in excitement.
Chibi-Naruto stopped in his tracks and looked at her over his shoulder. His cold, blue eyes stopped her in her tracks.
"Sen-pai." She reached out for his shoulder only to reel back in shock when he slapped her hands away
"Begone, bat," he whispered in contempt.
"But—"
"You disgust me, bat," Naruto replied coldly and left.
Each word stabbed deep into her skin like a hail of hot arrows.
"S-senpai!"
The cloud burst into pieces as Rossweisse shook herself out of her daydreaming. "Let me think about it first. I'll give you a reply later!" she spoke in a hurry.
The virgin Valkyrie slammed the contract on the table and rushed out of the room with a blush on her face, only to hit a solid wall of meat. Warm, strong hands wrapped around her and white filled her vision.
Naruto held on to Rossweisse as his hoodie slowly came off due to the sudden gesture. His hands were wrapped firmly on her waist. "Are you alright?" he asked with concern written all over his face.
"Um, y-yeah." Rossweisse had both of her palms on Naruto's toned chest, feeling his abs.
"This house is too damn big. I almost got lost on my way to the toilet. Do they have a map of this house or something?" Naruto tried to joke.
Rossweisse was giggling out in the open at his joke even though it was a lame one.
"I uh, I-I wanted to take a walk outside. W-wanna come along?" Naruto looked away in a manner that made him cute as he asked her to take a walk with him.
The look made the Asgardian's heart melt.
Naruto Uzumaki wasn't a man after love, he simply wanted to leave the house for a while lest he contracts the devil virus.
Also, it seems like he wanted to get his mind off the events of the day. It might take a while to come to terms with it, but he had already acknowledged the fact that there was no easy, fast way back home. This was his cross to bear alone.
The Underworld didn't actually have a GPS and this was his first time in the blasted dimension. He didn't want to get lost, or worse, wander off to enemy territory, and the only person he trusted right now—rephrasing that; the only person he could trust, rephrasing that even further; the only person he could take a comfortable walk with—was Rossweisse.
The jerk of a teacher was truly uncomfortable with so many devils around him. He'd rather choose to be with the Valkyrie than the greedy creatures.
.
.
.
"How gloomy," Naruto thought, as he stared at the night sky.
They say you don't know the value of something until you lose it. He should have enjoyed the night sky of Kuoh more when he had the chance.
He made a mental note to go sky-gazing when he gets back home.
Parents should really think twice about what they wish for their children when they pray for their children to go to great heights and unbelievable places in life.
Take Minato and Kushina for example, their son Naruto was in… The underworld of all places! Surrounded by supernatural creatures! He's gone to places his parents could never dream of much less reach.
"So, um, Senpai, how did you get here?" Rossweisse asked, starting the conversation.
Rossweisse's voice snapped Naruto out of his internal musing. He thought about it and decided to be honest with her, "A little child brought me here."
His answer roused disbelief in her countenance.
"You don't believe me, but that's the truth," Naruto added, seeing the look on her face.
"No, I do. I was just wondering what kind of child would do that," she waved her hands haphazardly.
"So the Gremory household owns everything as far as my eyes can see?" he questioned.
"Yeah, they are pretty loaded," she replied.
Naruto nodded and snapped his head west. There were a lot of weird signatures coming from the forest in the distance. His curiosity peaked and he voiced it out, "What's that forest?" he asked, pointing a hand at the forest.
Rossweisse followed where his hand was pointing with her green orbs before they landed on the forest. "That's the Familiar Forest."
"The Familiar Forest." Naruto tested the words in his mouth so he could remember.
"It's a forest Devils visit to get a familiar, a beast they can work with."
A look of realization dawned on Naruto's whiskered face. So that's the Devilkind's 'DevilMyuboku'? Now, he was really interested. He was so gonna visit the forest before he left.
Naruto created a mental list and named it 'the things that cow-tits bat would do for me after I win that rating game' and added 'visit the familiar forest' to it.
"Did you know, The Underworld doesn't naturally have a day and night cycle. The day and night cycle we experience here was set up by a magic seal to help the humans reincarnated as devils get accustomed to the Underworld."
"You mean slaves," Naruto replied with a flat look.
It blew up right in her face. She was trying to bring up a new topic to get the blonde's attention and it failed. Now she had a half-bored, half-annoyed Senpai tonight
"I don't get why people, even supernatural beings, would sell their freedom, their souls, to devils."
The Valkyrie did a mental fist pump. Yes! she was getting good at reading the blonde, which means they are getting closer.
It seems her last-minute decision was well worth it
"I mean, why would I or you, let a Devil turn us to Devils and put us in slavery? This is the first and only reason why I hate Devils."
Naruto never needed to find another reason to hate devils. One was just enough. He might start working on a seal to end The Evil Piece System just to spite the Devils and free those who were coerced into becoming slaves but he knew next to nothing about The Evil Piece System.
"So, if a friend turns into a reincarnated Devil"—Naruto shut her with a look—"Someone you know? An Acquaintance?" she quickly added. "What would you do?"
Naruto hummed and grabbed his chin with his thumb and index finger and looked up with a thoughtful look.
If Sasuke… Nopes, nah! That bastard wouldn't become a Devil slave even if his life was on the line.
Nope, no, Shikamaru is too lazy for that.
If Kiba was to—no, Kiba's too much headstrong to do something like that.
If Neji—nah, the cage bird seal was enough of a thorn in his life.
If Sakura became a reincarnated devil, against her will, he and Sasuke would slaughter the entire peerage and find a way to return her to normal.
An evil aura surrounded Naruto as he subconsciously leaked killer intent in his thoughtful state. Rossweisse moved away from the blonde who now had the image of a roaring fox behind him.
"I guess I'd slaughter the entire peerage for turning my friend into a slave," he concluded like it was the normal thing to do in that situation.
"Odin's beard!" Rossweisse exclaimed in her head.
"If my friend was in consensus, I'd avoid them like the plague. I'd outright disown them," he nodded rapidly.
"Ah… I see," Rossweisse drawled, scooting closer to the blonde. He was back to the warm blonde she knew.
Naruto looked around and saw that there were a few houses around. "We've walked a long distance. Let's go back," he said.
They'd walked a long distance. The Gremory mansion wasn't in view anymore. He noticed Rossweisse was taping her knee caps every now and then as they walked back to the mansion.
"You tired?" he queried.
"No, I'm fine," Rossweisse smiled and took a skip to show him she was fine but her landing was sloppy.
Fighting in a war was exhausting. Maybe, all the fatigue had gotten to her. He could even feel phantom pains from the battle with Ashirok himself.
Naruto sighed because what he was about to do was borderline crazy.
His body, mind, and brain fought against his decision but his heart was the only opposition they had. Naruto Uzumaki was a gentleman, well, at least when one managed to dig through all that cold and jerky exterior he had.
"W-what are you doing?" Rossweisse stuttered seeing Naruto kneel in front of her.
"Hop on. I feel guilty. I shouldn't have asked you to come."
"No! No! I'm fine that was my decision. There's nothing wrong with me." Rossweisse flared her hands around.
Utilizing wood style, Naruto pushed her from behind with a log and held on to her thighs to secure her on his back before he stood up with a heave.
Naruto could smell her silver hair as some loose strands fell over his shoulder. Her slim arms were wrapped around his neck and her cheek was almost touching his. Naruto took in a whiff of her hair again, it reminded him of pretty flowers.
Naruto shifted, distributing her weight before he resumed the trek back to his wayward student's house.
"The war must have been hard," Naruto said like he was speaking from experience.
Rossweisse hummed in reply as her cheek brushed against his, a thin curtain of silky silver-white hair separating pale skin from tan skin.
"You're warm," she commented all of a sudden and tightened her arms around his shoulder.
Naruto smelt like ramen. The smell was strong.
"I get that a lot," he replied. His lips curved up a bit, not that Rossweisse could see it.
"Did you know, Senpai,"—Naruto sighed and prepared himself for a lesson again but no amount of preparation could have prepared him for what she was about to say—"You are the first man to give me a piggyback ride."
Naruto's mouth opened a fraction at the fact.
"My father died before I was born and my Mom followed when I was still a child."
At least he had the old man and Iruka give him a piggyback ride sometimes. But the Valkyrie didn't have anyone to do the same for her… He didn't see that coming.
"You kind of remind me of him. It's weird, is it not? I never met him but you remind me of him."
Naruto was looking straight ahead, his hands holding on to the Valkyrie's thighs.
"I bet his back would have been as warm as yours," she yawned, resting her head on the blonde's and willed her eyes shut.
"What's this?" the blonde Uzumaki thought.
Naruto narrowed his eyes and flooded his heart with potent Chakra.
The damn thing was slacking off! One second it was beating fast and the other, it was skipping beats.
His veins and arteries went on a frenzy as they worked together with his heart to pump more blood into his system making his body temperature. warmer.
Naruto's lips made a bubbling sound as he exhaled through his mouth.
"So, did you grow up all alone?" he asked, receiving no reply.
"You did a mighty fine job then."
Certain anatomy was rising and falling behind his back each time she breathed. It was soft, squishy, and perky—
Bad Naruto.
"So, wh—"
Naruto stopped in his tracks when he felt the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest. He turned his eyes sideways and met her peaceful sleeping face. With his face dangerously close to hers, he could feel her breath on his face and a stray strand of her hair tickled his lips.
She looked beautiful and harmless right then.
Ah, the damn heart was working up again. This woman was dangerous. How could his heart keep malfunctioning like that?
Naruto pushed her up and secured her tightly, he almost cursed when her face wrinkled and let out a sigh of relief when it relaxed.
Naruto tore his gaze from her face and set it forward. No looking sideways from now on, just straight ahead.
In a tree, a safe distance away from the couple, a voice from a magic circle behind the stranger's ear, like ear comms, asked what the blonde was currently doing.
"He's- I don't know if I should tell you-" he flinched when the voice on the other end yelled at him
"He's being a ladies' man."
He was a former human after all; ain't nobody snitching a fellow brother when he's with his woman. All he was ordered to do was tail the blonde and report any strange behavior.
Was kissing your woman considered strange? The reincarnated devil didn't think so.
.
.
.
Gentle footsteps were all that echoed the streets of the underworld in the night. It was much colder in the Underworld. The blonde Uzumaki was infusing a tiny amount of fire chakra to keep Rossweisse warm. Naruto rejoiced when he found the Gremory mansion.
He thought he'd got lost on his way back. It took him three hours to find his way back and the Valkyrie slept snugly throughout the entire thing.
Naruto heard hurried footsteps as two Devils came out of the mansion
"S-sensei?"
Issei slapped Kiba with a pack of snacks he held in sheer disbelief. Even Kiba was in the same boat; the same snack was falling out his open mouth.
"Issei-ku—" Akeno went stiff as she laid her eyes on the blonde ninja.
Slowly, the entire peerage stood behind Issei and Kiba, all staring on in shock, standing as stiff as a stone.
"Someone please kill me," Naruto begged mentally.
"R-Rossweisse?" Rias would recognize that shade of silver-white hair anywhere. "What did you do to her?!" she hollered, pointing an accusing finger at Naruto.
Naruto pulled one hand away from his back and placed it on his lips, doing a shush motion.
He'd be damned if he let cow-tits wake her up with her shrills.
.
.
.
Naruto slowly laid Rossweisse in her bed. With lightning-fast ninja reflexes, he quickly guided her back and held her head as he gently laid her down.
Rias and her peerage were holed up on the doorstep, eyes wide with disbelief as the ninja tucked their civics teacher in like a delicate rose.
Irina saw Naruto in a new light and Akeno was giggling to herself with an evil smirk on her face. Naruto would be hard to tease but Rossweisse on the other hand, Akeno couldn't help but rub her hands together.
Naruto sighed as he pulled the blankets to her neck and glanced at her sleeping face.
"Alright. That's it. Come on out, Naruto," Rias whispered.
The Ruin Princess wanted to stop Naruto from poisoning Rossweisse's mind or so she believed. The Uzumaki was never one to do something as dopey as this, the image itself was killing her brain cells but here she was witnessing it.
Naruto shut the door behind him with a soft clink and met the different gaze of his student. They all had his back pinned to the door, hands folded on their chest, in a circle formation.
"What?"
He didn't like the look on their faces.
"Ah. He said 'what?' " Rias sneered. "Stay away from Rossweisse, you player."
"You know, I was planning on going easy on you lot but it seems you need a wake-up call. Imma whop y'all asses. Especially you, Cow-tits."
Rias reeled in shock at the slutty name. She put her hands over her bust for the first time in a protective manner and was about to give a witty reply but The moment Naruto took a step forward, everyone cleared a path for him. He reached out and grabbed Issei by the scruff of the neck and pulled him along.
"Why me?" Issei cried anime tears as he made a grabbing motion towards Rias.
Rias's heart broke to see Issei go because it signified that tonight meant no cuddling because of the blonde.
"I don't trust anyone else enough to sleep with them." Naruto said.
He stooped for a moment and tilted his head when an idea hit him. Naruto pulled Issei up and placed a hand on Issei's shoulder. "We are going to have so much fun, Hyoudou," Naruto whispered the last part looking at Rias before he pulled Issei away.
Rias gritted her teeth in pure frustration and yearning before she tried to chase the duo. Her peerage held her down before she did something drastic and aggravated the blonde even further.
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Rias swore vengeance to the night sky, staring at the crescent moon out the window.
(Scene Change: Earth, Uzumaki Mansion)
Gaia could feel a headache coming.
The front door was wide open and Naruto wasn't anywhere to be seen. The moment the mother goddess stepped inside the house, she knew who came for Naruto. Her energy was still present in the air.
"That snake," she hissed.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Olympus?"
Martha and John jumped at the strange voice. It lacked emotion and radiated untold power.
"Where did you take him?" Gaia leveled a mean glare at the little child.
"Um, who's this little kid, and please, wear something modest for crying out loud." John looked between the two and covered Ophis with his jacket.
The jacket went up in purple flames and a purple snake hissed at both humans and launched itself at them.
A green bear pounced on the snake and both magic constructs disappeared with a spark.
"He has elapsed his usefulness but I await his return." Ophis turned her attention to Martha. "Interesting."
"Well, too bad because Naruto's not here, so leave," Gaia bristled.
"I await his return."
"Gaia, do you know her? She one of Naruto's acquaintances?" John asked, standing in front of his baby sister. He didn't like the look on the child's face one bit. She was eying Martha like a lab rat.
(Scene Change: The underworld.)
Naruto slammed his fist into the bed with his super strength. Issei, who was snoring loudly, bounced off the bed and fell in a heap of blankets.
"Damn it! What was I thinking?!" he groaned mentally. Her face kept visiting his mind.
"OK, Kurama, wipe my memory clean or something."
Receiving no reply, Naruto shoved the spare blankets off his body and did a Chinese- get-up.
"I have to go to the bathroom," he announced to Issei who looked drowsy on the floor.
"Wha—? You want to sleep in the bed?" he yawned. "Alright, I'll sleep on the floor." He laid his head on the pillow and covered his body with his blanket.
As the bathroom door slammed shut, the sound of running water followed.
(The next day: Morning.)
The entire household minus the Maous were present and a new person had joined them. Everyone garbed in new clothes except him. Rossweisse seemed lost in thought, a pink blush staining her cheeks. She was avoiding eye contact with him for some reason.
A child had joined them, a red-haired child, that looked like a cross between, cow-tits older brother and the ice-cold maid. The boy was seated beside Lady Gremory and was staring at him as if he was a roller coaster.
"Are you really a Human?" he asked all of a sudden. "Mom told me you are human and this is my first time meeting one. My name is Millicas, it's nice to meet you."
"Don't bother introducing yourself, Millicas-chan. This guy can't remember two-syllable names."
Naruto gritted his teeth and gave Rias a dry look. He turned back to the boy and waved at him, "Hey Millicas."
"I knew it, he could remember three-syllable names after all!" Issei yelled in victory. "Pay up everyone." The ORC members groaned and paid 1,000 yen each to Issei.
Issei counted the money with sick glee and passed two notes to Naruto. "Here's some for you, Sensei."
Naruto collected the note and stared at it like it was shit. "Wait, do I look poor?" he mulled before he zoned out.
The blonde ninja had enough money to buy half the land of the Gremorys'. He just didn't spend much because he was content with what he had.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable? You are dining with Devils. I read in a book that humans fear us," Millicas asked.
"Bah!" Naruto bellowed. "I fear no one!" He pushed his chest out with pride earning a giggle from the boy.
"So, are all humans without a sacred gear weak? Do you have a sacred gear like Issei-nii? Is that why you don't fear anyone?"
"Well, I don't have a sacred gear but I can do stuff." Naruto nodded his head as if he was trying to convince himself he could do stuff.
"Stuff like what?" Millicas asked. "Can you summon a meteor?"
"No, but I fought a stuck-up bastard who once did. The Mother—the dang bastard was a very strong dude. He could cut huge mountains in two." Naruto almost slipped up and immediately censored his words. A kid was in the room.
Everyone shook their heads in disbelief. How could he stoop to Millicas's level like it's nothing?
"Really? I bet he was strong."
"Yeah, that bastard was strong alright but I defeated him with the help of my friend who could split mountains in two too."
Naruto retold a tiny fraction of the Fourth Shinobi World War to someone he knew would believe every single word of it. The little kid.
"Oh my, Naruto-san. You are good with kids," Lady Venelana giggled.
"I thought I told you, Naruto is just fine."
"Right. Na-ru-to."
"You're strong, mister, but my Dad can defeat you," Millicas commented, believing everything he said.
"Your Dad?" Naruto questioned.
"He's the strongest person in the Underworld and he's my hero."
"He's a damn good father then. My dad was my hero too," Naruto smirked and raised a fist at Millicas.
Rias's hands sparked with the Power of Destruction instantly at the gesture.
"Rias!" Venelana chided.
"Here's to us! Sons of heroes!" Millicas beamed and quickly fist-bumped Naruto.
He was excited, he had a thing with a human, a cool human. His first human friend.
Naruto went back to eating and gave Rias a smug look. Annoying the girl indirectly brought more satisfaction than just straight up directly antagonizing her.
"I heard Rias-onee-sama challenged you to a rating game."
News travelled that fast?
"The young devils wanted to know about the person who accepted Onee-sama's challenge."
Ah shit.
She was a princess and next in line to the head of the household title. That meant bye-bye to his anonymity in the Underworld.
"Sona-nee-san and Ravel-nee-san are interested in seeing you too. They should be here any minute."
As if on cue, a blue and golden magic circle appeared on the floor of the dining room, and out came Sona and her peerage. Ravel was the only person present who he didn't recognize.
"S-sensei?!" Sona stuttered in surprise. Saji wasn't fairing well himself.
"Sensei?" Ravel repeated, looking for the odd one out. It was the blonde, handsome man. She's never seen his face before and he's… Human?
"Oh, hey, sonic, bandana, shougi," Naruto greeted.
"Buchou, he got all our names wrong," Saji whispered behind her ears with comical tears.
"What are you doing here?" she asked as she took a seat.
"Ah, Cow—" Naruto looked at Millicas and bit his lip. "Ah, that student of mine challenged me to a rating game."
"I'm not your student!" Rias bristled.
"But you are a student of Kuoh, I'm a teacher at Kuoh, so that makes you my student," Naruto replied with a smug grin.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sensei…" Ravel tried to strike up a conversation with the blonde.
"Naruto."
"Right, Naruto. I'm Ravel by the way," she introduced.
Naruto nodded at her before he was offered a chocolate bar by Millicas. A chocolate bar he got from god knows where.
"I noticed you weren't eating anything. Don't you like the food?" Millicas tilted his head in confusion.
"Aren't you a thoughtful boy?" Naruto smirked and popped the bar into his mouth.
"Yeah. Also, that big sister has been staring at you," the son of Sirzechs Gremory pointed at the silverette who hiccuped at the sudden accusation and subsequent attention it brought.
Naruto rose an eyebrow when their eyes met for the first time that day. Rossweisse covered her eyes in pure embarrassment. Her heart was beating fast nervously from all the attention on her.
"Ara Ara," Akeno giggled.
Naruto scoffed, his lips curving up to form a smirk. She seemed kind of cute. Well, time to save the damsel in distress.
"Hey, Young Milli, Is it a gag in your family for your name to end with 's'."
Everyone adopted a thoughtful look at that.
Zeoticus.
Sirzechs.
Rias.
Millicas.
"Hey, he's right!" Venelana cheered.
She was the closest to all four and had taken care of three of them since they first arrived in their birthday suits and she didn't even notice.
"What are you going to name your child then, Young Milli?"
Millicas sadopted a faraway look and placed his hand on his chin.
"How about, Roses?" Naruto suggested.
"Rossweisse!" Millicas snapped his finger at Naruto in a Eureka moment.
"Nah, that one ends with an 'e' and it's already been taken by a beautiful woman."
Rossweisse went red when Naruto sent her a knowing smirk.
Sona and her peerage watched as Rossweisse buried her head under the table. What the hell was going on?
"Bwahaha! I like you Naruto. I really do." Venelana held her ribs as she laughed out loud.
"Ah, damn it. Now I have to think of a new name for my daughter."
Naruto chuckled at the boy. He seemed all gung ho about it. "You can postpone that, Young Milli. You have all the time in the world to think about it."
Millicas nodded and took another chocolate bar and popped it into his mouth.
Naruto had a 'meh' look on his face as he looked around the table. Everyone was laughing at Millicas and Rossweisse, those who knew of yesterday's events were laughing harder than the rest.
They didn't look anything like the impression he had on them. They looked just like a family. Guess he was getting paranoid and didn't give them a chance to prove themselves but he still hated the majority of them. He just found new members he could tolerate.
Naruto raised a glass at Millicas and took a bite out of the meal for the first time.
Millicas beamed at the ninja and did the same.
"Aww… You guys are so cute," Venelana cooed.
"Stay away from my brother!" Issei held Rias back as she tried to obliterate Naruto, who was blowing raspberries at her.
Naruto decided right there and then that he'd create a monster out of the boy. "Don't worry, Young Milli. I will teach you my most sacred technique."
"What's that?" Millicas asked.
"The art of the prankster from hell!" Naruto roared.
He couldn't help but remember a golden-haired child with fox ears, running away from her furious mother into his waiting hands.
He missed them dearly.
Those two.
.
.
.
The devil assigned to stalk Naruto reported the latest thing he was doing.
"He seems to be having a blast with Master Millicas, Lady Venelana, and everyone, sir."
Ajuka sighed over the phone. Azazel gave a shrug. He told the green-haired devil Naruto was an enigma and that he didn't bother to study him anymore.
He's cold and unapproachable today, and tomorrow he's all sunshine.
"Keep tabs on him, always," Ajuka ordered and cut the magic link.
"I don't know why you guys are worried. It's not like he's going to kill them or something with us leaders present."
"Let the blonde have some fun. Show him devilkind's good side and maybe his impression might change."
"He doesn't trust devils, that's why he's put up a cold front to your kind," Azazel concluded.
Azazel's eyes went serious as he hunched forward from his leaning pose. "I have reasons to believe he once came in contact with Rizevim in the past."
Ajuka listened on with rapt attention as Azazel spoke.

(Scene Change)
John, Martha, and Gaia stared at Naruto's room and exchanged a glance that said 'you thinking what I'm thinking?'
John rushed forward and turned the doorknob open in excitement only for him to experience a force field that flung him across the living room. With reflexes she never knew she had, Martha backflipped over her brother's flying body and landed on her knees.
"Mother-fucker," John groaned as he stood from the broken glass table.
Martha stared at her hands and tore her gaze to Gaia who was clapping.
"So, you haven't noticed?" she asked.
"Noticed what?" Martha replied with a confused look.
"Don't worry," Gaia replied with a knowing smirk.
She'd let her figure it out on her own. She bet Naruto would be thrilled to mould her himself so she wasn't about to spoil her adopted, little brother's fun.
"That paranoid sucker even put a seal around his room," John shook his head in disbelief.
Well then, now it's time to take care of the eleven-year-old who sat patiently on the couch waiting for Naruto.
Well, it's gonna be a long, boring, and dull week without the dull and boring Shinobi.
The end.
I know you guys wanted to see a fight but I haven't planned that shit out yet, i'm still laying the uh… foundations, if you will. The foundations I will build on.
Till the next update, Stay beautiful
Sayonara!
