God of all: Okay you got it

And lets begun the show

After Naruto finished his dancing lesson with Venelana, he moved to the main residence to check on Koneko. And as soon as our favorite blond arrived inside the building, he was welcomed by his master, Rias Gremory.

"Naruto!" Rias turned and immediately ran to embrace Naruto into a hug. "Are you okay? I heard that you're sent into the Forbidden Forest. I was so worried! If… If anything were to happen to you, I… I…!" Rias eyes started to get teary when she spotted Naruto's bandage on his person.

Naruto just smiled with thi sudden hug and then moved his arms to return the embrace as his expression softened. " It's okay, boss. I'm fine, and I'll make it through this summer training."

Looking at her pawn's face, Rias felt a great relief as she buried her face into Naruto's shoulder. "…Naruto's smell…." Rias muttered as she felt everything she could sense from her pawn – his scent, his muscle, his body heat. Naruto sweatdropped when he heard that. "Hey , boss you know I'm still sweating as I'm not even take a bath for awhile?"

"It's fine…" Rias replied softly. "It's not that I don't like your smell… I was lonely, you know? I haven't been able to sleep with you ever since we arrived here, and I wasn't able to feel you like this every day either…Since, I can no longer imagine a life without you…What a pitiful master I am..."

"Come on, now…" Naruto smiled to comfort his master. "It can't be that bad. At least just try to hold it until the training is over, okay? I'll see what I can do to make it up." "Then I'll take your word for it." Rias said playfully. Naruto decided to change a topic as he asked, " By the way, how's Koneko-chan?"

"Well… She's still resting now. Anyway, would you like to see Koneko? I think she should've been awake by now." at Naruto's nod, Rias beckoned him to follow her.

Scene change

Rias led Naruto to the room where Koneko was resting in, and the latter was permitted to go inside the room alone. Knocking on the door couple of times, Naruto then letting himself in after hearing the voice from beyond the door. When the boy came in, he found Akeno was sitting by the bed, with Koneko laid on top of it. Her position was seated, but the most noticeable feature for Naruto to see was a pair of cat ears jutting out on Koneko's head. In other situation, Naruto might find it cute. In fact, it could be said that Koneko was too exhausted to hide her true form alone.

Akeno who saw Naruto entering try to say something only for Naruto motion her to stop and he said, " Don't bother. I already know the story. " He then took a quick glance at Koneko. Relieved that there were no visible injuries whatsoever, Naruto then asked with a smile on his face. "Hey, how are you doing?"

However, Koneko only muttered with sullen tone and half-opened eyes. "…What did you come here for?"

Naruto sighed as he replied, " "Would it be okay if I said that I come here because I'm worried about you?"

Koneko kept acting sullen, but she did not reply. Naruto took it as a signal to continue. "I… Heard about it. The story. But still, overworking yourself is no good. You should take care of your body."

Koneko then muttered something which Naruto wonder what she say so he asked, " Excuse me, you say something , Koneko-chan?"

"I want to become strong. Like Yuuto-senpai, Xenovia-senpai, Akeno-san…and also Naruto-senpai, I want to make my spirit and body strong. Even Gaspie is also becoming strong. At this rate, I'll become useless. Even though I'm a Rook, I'm the…weakest…I hate being useless…" Koneko said as tears were welling up on her eyes.

Narutodecided to silent as Koneko continuing, " B-b-but I don't want to use the power sleeping inside me…my Nekomata power…If I use it, I…just like my Nee-sama…I don't want that…I absolutely don't want such a thing…"

Nauto inwardly pissed as it seems Devils made lie about Kuroka. Well, at least not Rias family. But our favorite blond knew saying something else about Kuroka also won't do good given current Koneko psychology . He then decide to say something else, " "…Power corrupts. No matter what kind of power that is." Akeno and Koneko blinked and stared at Naruto, who said those words.

Naruto then decided to continue , "It was what Ddraig once told me, not long after I awakened Boosted Gear for the first time. I heard that lots of my predecessors got drunk from the power of the Heavenly Dragon, and they went on mindless rampage, destroying everything around them, friends and foes alike, until they lost everything precious to them in the process." The two girls in the room stared wide-eyed at the revelation as Naruto went on. "It terrified me, to the point that I got nightmares for a while. But soon, I learned that… The only thing for me to avoid getting swallowed whole… was to master this power. It's not easy… It could never be that easy. But…" Naruto paused, remembering what he went through until the point where he was. "I was just fortunate that I got time on my hands, I got Ddraig guiding me along the way, and most of all… I got friends for me to protect. That's why I tell myself that I need to master this power and become stronger if I want to protect those that are dear to me."

At Naruto's words, Koneko remained silent as she processed everything in her mind. Then, a hand was placed on Naruto's shoulder, causing him to turn and found the hand on his shoulder belonged to Akeno. The girl only shook her head when their eyes met.

"Naruto-kun, please leave the rest to us." Naruto looked down for a second before he nodded. "…Okay."

When our hero was about to leave the room, he turned his head to look at Akeno and Koneko one more time. "I don't know if I have the right to say this, but… I promise that I'll be there for you if you ever lost your path. Please have more faith in yourself and in those around you."

Then Naruto finally left the room with Akeno and Koneko thinking about his words.

Timeskip few days later

It was eleventh day in Forbidden forest. Naruto himself now prepared to remove ring that sealed his Longinus already. Only to found out the ring suddenly shattered by itself before Naruto could have touched it . That made Naruto wonder what happened but decided to ignored that and then he can heard certain Welsh Dragon yawned awake in his mind.

[Hmm…. It's good to be back… Is it already 10 days already?] "Good morning, Ddraig… And welcome back." Naruto greeted the dragon. [Yeah, good to see you again, partner. So what we will do now?] Well for now I just to try to maintain my Scale Mail mode as long as possible. Though I have feeling that doesn't necessary."

[That's right. You already can maintained it for years thanks to training in certain Time Chamber] Naruto nodded and he decided to think something and Ddraig decided to break the silent as the Welsh Dragon spoke, [ Say, partner. Are you sure you really want to pull that stunt in upcoming Rating Game?]

Naruto processed what Ddraig mean for few seconds before he made reply, " That's right Ddraig. I want to see other progress by made them actively moving instead me. After all I want to see their fruit of training especially Rias and Akeno since they not train much "

[ I see . Well, its your choice anyway so I won't indulge more. Oh and one more thing. Are you sure you want to execute that 'plan'?]

Naruto quickly responded, " Of course I think its time some Devils need to learn their action will face certain consequences."

Ddraig inwardly grinned, [ I assume your girls from your homeworld already made a move, doesn't it?] Naruto nodded, " Yes, And once Rating game with Sona Sitri finished , I'll make contact with them. Anyway , I think I should trying to collect something valuable there for the remaining day . Are you with me , Ddraig?"

Ddraig laughed, [Of course now , shall we begun then , partner?] Naruto replied, " Very well then, lets rollout."

At the end of training period

Kiba Yuuto had just returned to the Gremory main residence from his last day of training. When he came into the house, he was greeted by his comrades, who just finished with their training as well. The knight could tell that his friends had improved exponentially since the last time he saw them, judging from their appearance especially Xenovia. The others also commented on his tattered jersey, showing how hard he had trained for the past 20 days. As the others from Occult Research Club continued to converse with each other about their training days, Yuuto decided to look around outside, considering they were still one person short.

Yuuto then looked around and found Naruto just recently arrived and greeted, " Hey, Naruto-senpai."

Naruto just waved his hand and take good look at Yuuto before he saying, " You don't seem to have changed at all." Yuuto responded "Well, because I have the body-type that has difficulty in putting on more muscle. I'm rather jealous of you."

Naruto just raised his eyebrow before he heard, " Oh, Naruto and Kiba." Naruto then looked at individual who was covered in bandages from head to toe. There were few blue strands coming out from the head, and the person's appearance was completely ragged.

Naruto then sensed said person aura and said, " Oh is that you Xenovia. " Said person just gave nod to confirm what Naruto said. Naruto then sensed the two knight and find they now have more refined aura and flow of magic power. " I sensed your training bear a fruit. Good job I suppose."

"Oh, now everyone from the group has returned." Rias finally came into view as she stepped out. " Ah , hello Rias-chan!" Naruto waved his hand to his boss.

Rias then noticed Naruto rigged clothes and gulped when she finally set her eyes on Naruto's bodyas it more refined then before.

Rias stared a bit until she regain composure by coughed abit, "Uhm… Sorry. Let's come in. Once you've taken a shower and change attire, we'll meet to report the outcome of our training." Rias said with a flustered face and hurried back inside.

Later at evening.

Everyone plus Azazel now gather at Naruto room were sharing about what they had been doing for the past 20 days. Naruto found that his comrades had their training much less rough than his. Even Xenovia and Yuuto were provided Gremory's private mountain cottage and villa during their training in the open field.

And when he heard that Naruto scoffed inside as all of them aside him was taking easy but decided to indulge much as Naruto knew he can easily bet all of them. And even he not use his Boosted Gear he can still easily beat them. Anyway he never used Twilight Healing but decided to hide that and settled to use some healing spells. After all most Underworld knew Naruto was Jack of All Trades.

And that's why Naruto not indulge much of his training . Azazel try to pry out more but Naruto not saying anything. Everyone conclude Naruto angry because his training really rough which made our favorite blond don't want say anything.

"Alright, the meeting ends here. Tomorrow is the party. You're all dismissed for today." Azazel announced as he stood up.

Later midnight

Naruto suddenly awoken from his slumber in his room. He slept alone as he told everyone he want silent and it won't do if someone sleep with him which he meant Xenovia. Good think former exorcist understood . And back to present why he was awoken because he felt some ill intent pointed to him. Ad since it come from outside he rushing out the room's window.

Now our blond hero find himself at outside . 'well , well. Where are you wannabe assassin ?' Naruto thought as he trying to locate where so called assassin is and it won't took long to find the answer as he felt the dark energy just above him. He just took several step back to avoid he crashing figure that was standing where he stood.

Naruto then have good look to his attacker who cloaked himself, " Okay, I won't bother to ask who are you but you definitely want to me die for some reason. But I want to know if someone here send you to kill me." Naruto stated to mysterious figure.

The figure let out a sinister chuckle. "Wouldn't you like to know…Red Dragon Emperor?" Naruto blinked as said figure knowing who he is.

"Well, since you don't want to talk I just mke you then." Said Naruto only to responded by said figure continue chuckled before he said, " Hmph you just a commoner that was lucky enough to be picked up by Gremory and have that dragon sealed within you."

Naruto just silent for abit and his opponent continuing his rant, "I think it's time to kill you and end your suffer-" Only for Naruto to do quickdraw his Broken Butterfly and shot the man sending him tumbling through the field of the mansion.

Naruto aimed his magnum toward mysterious person, " You know . You talk too much. If you think you have what you need to kill me then you welcome to try." Naruto then use one of his hand to made 'Come here' gesture taunting his so called assailant.

'S-Sh-Shit! Diodora-sama didn't tell me about this!' The man roared in pain inwardly. "Y-You little shit!" The man hissed out angrily as he got up on shaky legs. "How dare you hit someone of stature like me!?" The male roared in anger.

Naruto somehow caught what he said, ' So , you come because Deodorant Astaroth eh? Probably because he fail to get Asia. Well, Asia is out for his reach anyway. I guess I gave him some taste of m power then.' Naruto then put his gun and activate his Kyuudou Rinnegan and muttered , "Shinra Tensei."

And the assassin thrown back due of the force inflicted by Naruto despite Naruto only sent very low powered version of Deva path technique. The Assassin quickly recovered and trying to pat himself down he was shocked to see that he couldn't. Seeing no option, he threw the coat off his person since it ripped . Naruto saw who was attacking him. It was a male, about middle twenties, with no hair, his bald head reflecting the moon-light, and black eyes. He wore decorative clothing that fit the high-class Devils he encountered before and had a scar on the right side of his face.

Said man pissed as he fired several magical bullets toward Naruto. However Naruto decided to activated his Preta Path and absorbed the magic bullets barrage. And he also walk casually toward his attacker. The assassin was becoming a little more frightened as Naruto keep absorbing his attack while walk toward him. "Die Boy! Gale Slicer!" The magic turned to wind, sending large arches of sharp wind at the boy.

While this was going on, the blasts that were fired caused the Gremory peerage to wake up. They all ran out to where the commotion was and saw our blond hero currently fighting an unknown enemy. "

"Naruto!" Rias shouted in worry of her love who was in danger. She was about to run out when her knight, surprisingly, stopped her. "Yuuto?" She turned to Kiba who was keeping his eyes on the fight.

"Don't worry, Buchou. Naruto-senpai can handle this. After all he will angry of we interfere." Said Kiba Before the master or others could question Gremory male knight the man shot out a powerful wind attack. The others except Kiba was worried as s they watched the attack continue to get closer to Naruto who was still moving closer. And Naruto decided to take the strong wind head on and that only made him skidded few centimeters but still standing.

The assassin watched on in shock as one of his better spells was just brushed off like it was nothing. : Wind Release: Rasengan!" Naruto thrusted certain sphere at the unprepared Devil and hit square in the chest, sending him a flying back few meters. However Naruto decided to flashed behind him and landed barrage of fist toward his attacker.

"ST-Stop This! Stop the pain!" The man pleaded for his life. Naruto only continuing his beating as he said, " Tell me who sent you here first." After awhile Naruto stopped his beating only said man responded, "I'd rather die. Go fuck yourself you little shit!" The man wheezed out, spitting a glob of blood our favorite ninja. That was obviously a mistake.

Naruto then unleashed deadly killing intent toward his assailant. Meanwhile Naruto fellow peerage member were shocked at how strong their dragon wielding teammate had become. They knew he was stronger but shocked with the amount of killing intent Naruto unleashed.

"You really have a death wish don't you?" Naruto said with low voice. Naruto then took out his Broken Butterfly and shot his attacker multiple times but purposely aimed non fatal wound and smirked as the man shout in pain and cough up blood. "Huh. Seems all that confidence from before left. What's wrong? "I thought you were here to eliminate the plight this dragon possessed." This comment made the peerage angry. 'Who would want Naruto to be killed?' The collective thought ran through the teams head. "Guess since you won't talk…I'll just kill you." He ended with narrowed eyes.

"Y-Yo-You wouldn't dare! Y-Yo-You don't ha-have the guts!" His shouts were stuttered as he feared for what Naruto would do.

Naruto turned to his group, " Oh Please. You already knew I killed so many when I join y'all. And he definitely won't be the last one. " Naruto then gripped the devil head so strong though the man tried to threaten them before Naruto finished him off. "E-Even if you kill me… my master will find you and end you're pathetic life!" The man smirked a little.

Naruto decided to activate his Human Path ability and absorbing all of his memories and slowly tortured his soul before he absorbed and when Naruto almost done he whispered, " Well. I think you master Diodora Astaroth will follow your example soon." That made the assassin eyes widened but before he said anything . Naruto unleash Gudodama to erase him completely.

Naruto then looked toward his group and said nonchalantly, " Sorry guys I think I can finish him quick but it seems I slacking. "Seeing the concern among his friends he decided to try and end it. "Eh, let's not worry about it now. We got a party tomorrow." Naruto said with a happy grin.

"Naruto-kun's right." Akeno said with her normal happy smile. "Let's get some sleep." She then put on seductive eyes as she looked back to the boy who stole her heart. "Maybe I should come with you and heal you Naruto-kun~." Akeno purred out making Naruto deadpanned at the seductive raven haired woman's seductive attempt.

"NO!" Rias said in anger. Akeno could only giggle in response. "Okay enough ." Naruto placed his hands up in a calming manner. "Let's all go to bed." The team went back to the mansion for a good night sleep before the party the next day.

Timeskip

The evening of the next day had come and Naruto was waiting for the girls in the parlor. He now wearing formal black suit with matched black tie . He had on an armband with the Gremory symbol inscribed on it, so the boy would be allowed to enter the party.

Our blond hero just standing as he looked his watch before he sensed someone approaching.

"Uzumaki!?" Naruto looked to where the voice come and saw Saji approaching him. Thesole male member of Student Council was wearing the summer uniform of Kuoh Academy.

"Saji? Why are you here?" Naruto asked curiously. Saji answered. "Ah, Kaichou will be going to the meeting place along with Rias-senpai and I followed her here. Kaichou went to meet with Rias-senpai and after that, I inevitably ended up wandering aimlessly around the mansion, until I arrived here."

"Hmm…. I see." Naruto nodded as Saji took a seat beside him. "The game will be taking place very soon now." Saji spoke with serious expression. "Yeah." Naruto took in Saji's words. "I've trained. And guess what?" A grin appeared on Saji's face. "I was trained by a dragon king! Isn't that cool?"

Naruto blinked and he turned to Saji. "Dragon king? Are you talking about old man Tannin?" "….You know Tannin-san? And 'old man'…?" Saji asked, not expecting Naruto to know the former dragon king so casually.

Naruto shrugged. "Well…. He offered himself to send me to my training venue. Anyway, how's your training with him?" Saji slumped as he let out a sigh. "Well… Simply put, there were many times when I thought I was gonna die. Tannin-san kept chasing me around while spewing giant fireballs at me every day."

"Wow, seems you had it tough." Naruto commented.n"And speaking of, how did your training go?" Saji asked back. Naruto just said, " Well, aside I must survive at Forbidden Forest , nothing special."

Saji just gaped when he heard that and both of them fell silent abit. Naruto decided to break an ice . " Well I want to ask something. Does Sona-kaichou really want to build a school?"

Saji nodded in enthusiasm , " That's right! Kaichou is trying to establish a Rating Game specialized school in the Underworld. It's an open school for anyone that accepts devils regardless of whether they are high-class or Low-class, aristocrat or commoner. I heard from Kaichou that things like discrimination and traditions have been softened in the devil society little by little, but there is still a part at the root of it all that refuses to accept any change. That's why the current Rating Game School only accepts high-class devils from aristocratic families. The games need to be equal for everyone. That is what the current Maou-samas have decided. Though it's equal, the path of the games is far for Low-Class devil commoners. That's strange right? Though even a non-aristocratic devil may be promoted to a High-Level devil depending on the method. The possibility shouldn't be zero!" The passion in the teen's voice stuck to Naruto as he remembered how the higher ups only laughed at Sonas idea of having this school.

"Kaichou has told me that she wants to do something about that. She wants to teach so that even Low-Class devils can participate in the games. That's why she'll make a school that anyone can enter in the underworld! She's even studying in the human world for that sake! To give the spotlight to those who never had it! As long as it's not zero, one might be able to become a High-Class devil! Uzumaki! Even we believe in that possibility and try to become a High-Class devil right?!" He asked his friend who had been silent through his speech.

Naruto just nodded which made Saji look happy before he continued, " "T-That's why, I will work as a teacher there. I'll study a lot, fight in a lot of games, and store up various things! I'll become a teacher who teaches about Pawns with that. Kaichou also said that she wants to help me. Even someone like me may be able to become a school teacher. I-I've only done stupid things with my life that caused trouble for my parents and people around me! I will stay by Kaichou's side and help her with my life! Her dream is my dream!" He finished with determined eyes.

Naruto gained a small smile after hearing how far he would go for his master. In other hands Naruto actually a bit disappointed due of Rias goal as it less ambitious then Sona. But doen't mean he will help his boss halfheartedly anyway. Naruto also made mental note to get back at Elder Devils who mocked Sona dream in future. But it will wait until later.

"You know what, Saji? I think you're gonna make a wonderful teacher." Said Naruto "R-really?" Saji asked with hopeful tone. "You bet. And you have my full support on this." Naruto raised up his right fist. Knowing the gesture, Saji held up his left fist and the boys fist-bumped. "Thanks, Uzumaki… But that doesn't mean that I'm gonna go easy on you on the game later!" Naruto gave hs reply, " I expected no less, Saji. Give me all you got and I'm sure as hell I won't hold back either."

Later both of them involved in small talk until, " Sorry for make you wait, Naruto-kun. Oh, Saji-kun came as well." Turning around, Naruto smiled when he saw girls from ORC and Sona Sitri, clad in beautiful dress.

Naruto then turned his attention toward Rias, Akeno and Xenovia. Rias wore a red dress that showed off her womanly figure and wore her crimson hair in a pony-tail. Akeno wore a simple black yukata with a white waist sash that hugged her form as well. Finally, Xenovia wore a blue dress that fit well with her blue hair and figure as well. All in all the girls looked stunning and Naruto gave his opinion, "Damn, All of you really look gorgeous. "

The three girls he was checking out couldn't help but blush as well. 'He looks very manly.' Xenovia thought with a blush as she eyed the man she promised herself for. 'Ara, ara. Naruto-kun looks very good. I wish I could gobble him up.' Akeno thought to herself with a subtly lick of her lips. Her violet eyes shamelessly scanning his body. 'W-Wow! So hot!' Rias thought to herself as he face was like her hair.

Naruto then noticed Sona and gave nod toward Sitri heiress who also nodded back in return.

Then….

"Gasper, why are you wearing a dress?" Naruto asked in calm tone at the male who was wearing woman's clothing. But before Gasper gave his reply, Naruto said, " Ah forget it , I already know your answer."

Then, here was the massive sound of something flying in the garden along with a soft tremor in the ground. Soon, a butler came and informed them. "Tannin-sama and his family have arrived."

Naruto raised his eyebrows. "Tannin? What's he doing here?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Saji said beside Naruto. "Tannin-san offered to escort Kaichou's peerage to the party. He also agreed on giving a ride for you guys too! Isn't he amazing?"

Naruto blinked at the news. He looked at his master, whom said that she had been informed beforehand by Sona. "Wow, that's amazing, indeed." Naruto smiled as he thought that riding a dragon to a party sounded rather stylish.

When everyone went out to the garden, Tannin and ten other dragons around his size had been waiting for them. On the back of those dragons, the rest of Sona Sitri's peerage were sitting on stand by. "I came just as promised, Saji Genshirou." The Blaze Meteor Dragon looked at the Sitri pawn before he turned to Naruto. "And it's good to see you again, Uzumaki Naruto."

"Yeah, it's good to see you again, old man." Naruto replied casually "Hey, Uzumaki! Show proper respect! You're talking to a dragon king, you know!" Saji whispered furiously.

Apparently, Tannin's ear was sharp enough to catch Saji's scolding. "Hahaha, it is fine. You also don't need to be all formal towards me, Saji Genshirou…" The dragon simply laughed it off.

Then the dragon addressed the others. "While you all ride on my back, I'll place a special barrier around you. With that, your hair and clothes won't get ruined by the wind, since those things are important to women."

"Thank you, Tannin-sama. We'll be relying on you until we get to the meeting place. Are you sure it's fine with people of Gremory coming along as well?" Sona asked politely.m"It's fine, milady Sona. Both you and milady Rias are really beautiful tonight. And please leave that matter to me." Tannin replied after complimenting the girls' looks. And then everyone now find themselves in the sky riding the Dragon while Naruto sit at Tannin head since 'Dragon turned Devil' wanted to talk with Ddraig.

Sometime later

It just took about fifteen minutes flying as they finaly almost arrived at massive clearing which somehow looked like very large helipad. Naruto himself actually now respect Tannin more when our blond hero asked reason why Blaze Meteor Dragon become Devil. Former Dragon King explained to Naruto he wanted to fight more in form of Rating Game match, but the true reason because the Dragon Apples, a fruit that now exists only in the Underworld, which a certain race of Dragons needs to eat in order to survive.

He then joined the Rating Games, becoming one of the Top 10 and became an Ultimate-Class Devil where he gained the right to receive his own territory and chose the area where the Dragon Apples grew. He even started conducting research on how to artificially grow the Dragon Apples.

Anyway once Gremory and Sitri Group dropped themselves , Tannin told them they will meet again as they now heading to separate place that accommodated devils with larger size before he and others took off. Gremory group and Sitri group then split up and took a different pick-up due to another quick appointment.

When the Gremory group was being escorted inside their own limousine, Rias picked up a comb from her purse to tidy Naruto's hair up. It appeared that Naruto's hair had become disheveled, due to Naruto's sitting spot on Tannin's head was not covered by barrier against wind current.

Once she finished she turned to be serious, " Naruto, you may not have heard it because you were riding Tannin-sama's head, but Sona declared war. She said, 'We will beat you for the stake of our dreams.'"

Naruto grinned, " You shouldn't worry too much, Boss. I already knew their dream is an amazing one. But I think we should focused on our own, right?"

Rias blushed at his words and gave him a sincere smile, " That's right! We have our own dreams and goals as well. So we must win no matter what."

The group's limousine soon arrived at the hotel, then the youngsters were welcomed by numerous employees. The group entered the lobby, checked-in, and enter to the elevator. "The party will be held on the top floor, Naruto. If you're called out to by any people from distinguished families, make sure to greet them properly, okay?" Rias began her final briefing.

"As you command, boss." Naruto bowed slightly before asking another question. "But tonight's party was hosted by devil kings for young devils, right?"

"That is the official stance. In truth, people won't get very excited even once we enter the room. This is an annual custom. If anything, it's more like a gathering for the members of all the distinguished families to meet. We, the next family heads, are just extras, while it's really a party for our fathers to enjoy themselves. In reality, they've made reservations at the nearby facilities until the fourth or fifth after-parties. Proof of that is that they arrived at the meeting place separately from us. They probably gathered together before the young people arrived and may have already finished their alcohol." Rias grumbled with displeased expression.

Akeno and Yuuto also had bitter smiles on their faces make Rias point correct. Naruto just grumbled and muttered about ' selfish old coot.

After some time, Elevator doors opened for the Gremory team to see a highly lavished looking ballroom with many sophisticated devils eating amazingly delicious foods and talking. Every devil then looked to see that the red haired princess had arrived. Breaths of admiration came out as everyone greeted the red head.

"Princess Rias. You've become more and more beautiful…" "Sirzechs-sama must also be proud."

Praises were exchanged while the group kept walking among the party crowds. Gasper was sticking on Naruto's back like a life-line. "Uuu, there's so many people…" Hearing that Naruto gave Gasper a bitter smile as he knew how uncomfortable he was around so many people and nobility. He patted the kid's head, making him feel slightly better.

"Naruto, we're making our rounds of greetings." Naruto snapped his head at Rias' instruction and blinked once. Of course, someone with Rias's stature would only be natural to follow the etiquette of the social gathering like this. Naruto smiled lightly and nodded, "Understood, milady." And the Occult Research Club split up while the king and her pawn went around the hall to greet the other high-class devils.

After finishing the greetings, a song started to play and many devils danced with their partners. Naruto and Rias were on the side, watching the dance. Our blond ninja cast his sapphire eyes to his master who was looking at the dancing devils.

Quickly catched up, Naruto offered his hands, "Rias-sama, shall we have this dance?" He asked .

Rias blushed as well her heart beating quickly. 'Yay!' She thought giddily and with a warm smile she accepted the hand extended to her. "With pleasure." The moment the two stepped on the dance floor all eyes were on them.

Naruto led the crimson haired beauty with confidence as they danced. He did everything he learned in his lessons and, if the blush on Rias' cheeks were anything to go on, she enjoyed her dance with her partner.

The dance ended with many devils clapping. Later Naruto also danced with others like Xenovia and Akeno. After some dances Naruto going to side and decided to just watch others. He saw Rias and Akeno talking to some of the guests and Kiba being ganged up on by many devil women . Gasper and Xenovia caught his gaze when they were walking over to him.

Naruto then find himself hugged by girly boy. Naruto-senpai meanie! You left us all alone while you were resting!" The blonde haired boy cried. Naruto patted his head and smiled, " My bad then, Gasper. I just want took some break after dancing." Xenovia then came up to them with a large amount of food. " Naruto, Gasper. I have some food here. Help yourself." Xenovia announced with a small smile.

" Thanks, Xenovia." Naruto nodded and ate food and Gasper followed his example. And while Naruto, Xenovia and Gasper enjoy themselves. Naruto sensed someone approaching. And it was none other than Ravel Phenex who said "I-it's been a while, Red Dragon Emperor." The person greeting Naruto was a young girl in a fancy dress with her blonde hair tied into twintails with large, drill-like curls and blue ribbons keeping them in place.

" Oh, Ravel Phenex. " Greet Naruto until he said with sad tone , " Sorry for your brother then." Ravel replied, " I'll already over it. So please don't talk about this anymore. "

Both of them fell in silence until, ""B-by the way, Red Dragon Emperor…" Naruto raised his hands to stop Ravel and said, " Ravel-san. Please don't call me that. You're near the same age as me, right? Then, speak to me normally. Everyone calls me Naruto, you know?" He explained with a grin.

"I-Is it really okay for me to call you by your name!?" Ravel stuttered with a somewhat happier expression. Before Naruto could have answered, Ravel quickly cleared her throat and regained her composure. "…T-Then, I'll oblige and call you 'Naruto-sama' without reservation."

"Uh… Please, you don't have to use honorifics-" However, Naruto was quickly interrupted again. "No, this is important!" Naruto just sighed and decided to let Ravel do what she want. At least better than Sekiryuutei nevertheless.

After awhile. Ravel said, " I-I must go now. "Naruto-sama, the next time we meet, would you like to have some tea with me? A-A-A-And if it's okay with you, would you like to have some homemade cake p-p-prepared by me?" Ravel asked in a stutter before doing a curtsy and leaving.

Naruto then looked around until he saw Koneko looked like she want to leave. However he pretended not saw anything. Instead he decided to keep sensing Koneko lifeforce. And once in safe distance, Naruto approached another lift only to saw Rias also do same, " Rias what are you doing?" Rias replied, "I saw you boarding the elevator after Koneko-chan. I was worried so I followed you."

"Actually, I want you to stay here. It will be better if I the only one as I have bad feeling about this." Said Naruto. Rias stubbornly replied, " "Koneko is my servant! She is my responsibility you know."

"Very well then." Naruto said and sped up, he could feel Koneko's as well as the other Senjutsu user's magical signature whose Naruto identified as Kuroka, which was approaching Koneko with a very fast pace.

Why Kuroka was here, Naruto didn't know, but he got the feeling that she was here for Koneko.

After Naruto and Rias had advanced through the forest for several minutes, they finally found the little cat girl, standing in the middle of the forest Koneko was restlessly turning her head back and forth in the middle of the forest as if looking for something. But before Naruto could approach her, Rias grabbed his body and pulled him to hide behind a tree.

The blond turned to the girl, looking at her questionably but only Rias put a finger on her lips, telling him to stay silent. "She can sense me" Naruto told her, but nonetheless he deactivated Sage mode and concentrated in hiding his power "She is also a Senjutsu user; there is no point in hiding."

But before Rias could say anything, they both heard an unfamiliar voice (In Rias case as Naruto met her before ) belonged to a female.

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" "—! …You." Koneko's whole body shook in violent surprise. "Hello, Shirone. It's me, your onee-chan."
