Chapter 14

The Following Day

Mountains

"Geez, I know I can carry a lot of weight, but this is..." as I was climbing the mountain slope I complained, with sweat dripping down my forehead and my arms drenched in it.

I was carrying a backpack filled to the brim with shit.

The day before we left Rias tested me and asked me to stop when I couldn't take it anymore, probably because she wanted to find how much of a load I can carry at once.

I told Rias I'd be able to store everything inside of a scroll she rejected it right away. Since that would defeat the whole purpose of training.

What Issei said about Rias becoming a full blown Dominatrix when it comes to training is true, I realize that now.

We were given ten days before the game with Riser starts.

Not that they can improve much in such a short period of time, but every little bit helps I guess.

"Be careful man" I warned Issei, who saw me go past him "Jeez, what the hell kind of training did you do before coming here?"

"One made of blood, sweat, and tears Issei, there's no other way to gain true strength in this world otherwise" I dumped a bit of wisdom on his ass before leaving him in the dust.

"You're almost there, just a few more feet"

"Just visualize Issei"

As I looked up and saw Rias, Akeno, and Asia were ahead of us, though that's only natural since between me and Koneko, we were the ones carrying the most stuff.

"Coming!" I heard Issei mutter behind me, I was getting pretty winded myself.

"I'll use the First Gate if I reach my limit before we get there"

"Rias, should I go get some of those bags for him?" asked Asia as she probably felt sorry for Issei.

"He'll be okay, he needs to learn to carry that much on his own" as she shot down the idea I could hear Issei groaning from that.

"On your right" as I looked Kiba had caught up to me but also had a bag in his hand. If I remember correctly in the light novel he went around collecting herbs and other plants from around the mountain.

"I'm impressed, it's taking me quite a bit of strength just to carry this, and you went out for a stroll"

"Why thank you, I thought we could use some of the herbs from around here in our meal tonight" as he gave me a pretty boy smile I just nodded in response.

"I suppose, just don't overdo it man"

"I'll try" before catching up with the others.

"Move it" next came Koneko who was carrying a bag three times the size of the others and only half the size of mine.

"Never have I been so grateful for the strength I've gained, otherwise I'd probably have died somewhere on the way up" I muttered to myself.

"Hurry up Haru, or your going to be left behind sweetie" as I look up and see Akeno waving at me, I decided to stop thinking and catch up to the rest.


An Hour Later

We finally arrive at the Gremory mansion, until a little while ago it was hidden from ordinary humans using demonic powers but since we'll be using it as our training ground that's been taken care of.

"Geez, this place is huge" as we stood outside that was the first thing I said as I looked at it. It was like one of those fancy Hollywood mansions celebrities have or that they show on TV.

Never thought I'd be able to actually have the chance to live in one myself.

There was even a small man made pond in front of the entrance, and off to the side was what I assumed was a viewing platform, though most would recognize it as the place where Issei and Rias had their little heart to heart towards the end of the training camp, though at this point I'm not even sure that's going to happen.

"Wow, it's beautiful" I heard Asia yell in admiration.

I had to agree with her there, this just goes to prove that the Gremory's are very, very, very, very, well off.

"Mustn't... get...jealous, I am a ninja. I will not be controlled by money, even if it's used to slap me silly" as I remembered what Jiraiya said about Tsunade spending money like it's water for her gambling habit.

Then how he blew Naruto's entire allowance on girls...

"I do not want to turn out like that" as I vowed to myself-

"Alright guys, let's head inside and get going on this training" Rias's announcement snapped me back to reality.

"But we just got here, that's evil and nowhere even close to fair" as I heard Issei complain behind me.

"Why thank you" was her response as she gave him a devilish smile.

I patted Issei on the shoulder "give it a rest Issei, there's nothing you can do to change her mind when it comes to training"

He slumped his head in defeat "yeah, I guess you got a point"

As we entered the place I was immediately hit by the scent of wood, but was even more shocked by all the expensive looking stuff from simply the décor to the furniture around the place.

There was even a few ancient European armors around the place just for the heck of it, and this is just one of their mansions, they probably have even bigger ones than this.

If I go to the Underworld and see the Gremory Mansion for myself I will lose my freaking mind just from imagining how huge it is in person.

Rias told us we can choose our own room to sleep in on the first floor, the girls are staying on the second floor before heading off to change together.

Issei tried to go and peep but one threat from Koneko stopped him and went off with Kiba to bunk together.

I just picked one at random, though as soon as I opened it and looked inside my jaw dropped. The room was as big as the entire first floor of my house back in Kuoh. Inside there were two king sized beds, a ridiculously expensive chandelier, a pair of fancy tables, drawers, and paintings of gorgeous landscapes. Even things like the wallpaper and the curtains were probably made from expensive stuff, and all of this is just for a basic room.

"Hahaha... rich people, I'll probably never get used to this" as I dryly laughed, I placed my suitcase I brought with me and opened it, revealing plenty of clothes along with a few scrolls containing my gear among other things.

I changed into the school jersey and took one of the scrolls with me before heading out the door.

I saw everyone had gathered in the living room, Rias was wearing the same jersey from the Dodgeball match. Akeno and Asia had red jersey pants but only the top of the school's gym uniform. Koneko was the only one wearing the full body version.

She smiles at me as do the rest of the club, Issei is the last to finish changing.

"Now then, let's start our training outside right away" she declares as we follow her outside.


Lesson 1: Sword Training with Kiba

Rias already knows that I can fight pretty well with a sword, so she exempted me from that. Besides I've also spared with Kiba quite a few times, though of course without the Sharingan, I'd rather not use it for something like sparing unless it gets really serious.

Though something tells me that won't take long.

Instead I'm watching Issei spar with Kiba.

"Lesson one"

"Yup, bring it blondie bear"

Both of them were holding wooden swords and were ready to go.

Issei made the first move since he was impatient, he began charging at Kiba, though he's only defending and dodging, no matter how hard Issei tries he can't land a hit on him.

"You're a little off, don't limit your focus to just the sword and keep an eye on your opponent"

After a few minutes Kiba finally makes his move as in one downward strike the wooden sword in Issei's hands.

"I meant to do that" as Issei gives his excuse.

"Come on, you've got to focus" as Kiba swung his sword once more, Issei tried the sword catching technique, but was too slow.

He got hit on the head… hard.

From then it was an hour of Issei getting his ass kicked nonstop by Kiba.


Lesson 2: Demonic power training with Akeno

Inside the Mansion's Meeting Room

"Lesson two, it's about time you three became aware of the aura and magic surrounding you, and try to stream it to a focal point" says Akeno.

Issei tried first as he held out his arm and attempted to concentrate his magic power.

Though in the novel they call it demonic power I decided to stick with magic for the time being.

Akeno then went up and behind Issei and placed her hand on his arm.

"Let the image of light flow through you and be released as magical power" before crawling up the entire length of her arm.

"I think I did it" said Asia as she held out a green ball of light for us to see.

"Awesome, look at you go with your little green light. I think you have a lot of natural talent for this Asia" praised Akeno as she clapped her hands together in delight.

"Alright, my turn" as I held my hand out, closed my eyes and tried to focus.

"It's all about imagination, picture it in my mind"

I pictured in my mind tiny little sparks of magic power appearing one by one, before slowly bringing them together and forming a shining red sphere of light.

"Come on, come on, come on" as I repeated the image over and over again in my mind.

"Amazing" I heard Akeno's voice.

Opening my eyes I saw that in between my hands was the same sphere of light in my hands, though it was the size of a volleyball

"Huh, guess all that image training paid off"

"Image training?" asked Asia.

"Yeah, when I first started, in order to help get the image of emitting chakra outside my body I used image training to help me visualize it"

It's true, since before I arrived here I had seen the anime and how chakra looked like numerous times, so that helped a lot in the process.

"I see, how lucky for you, though it seems like it takes you a short while to focus, if you wanna use it in battle it has to be second nature"

"Easy for you to say, I spent most of my time training to use chakra in battle, this is a whole new field of study for me, it will probably take a bit of time to get used too" was the thought going through my head.

As I looked around I saw Issei acting embarrassed/jealous of us.

Akeno then brought out a bottle of water and laid it on the table.

As she held her hand over it the water seemingly bubbled for a moment before it turns to ice and skewers the bottle from the inside out.

"Nice"

"Whoa, you're quick"

"Amazing"

As we all gave our praises I couldn't help but acknowledge that magic does come with its benefits, such as being able to use other elements on the fly with just a thought.

While in Naruto, unless you have an affinity or Kekkei Genkai you wouldn't even be able to use other elements normally, so I have to admit that magic is definitely superior to chakra in some areas, like for example when it comes to healing and teleportation.

"And you will be too, once you grasp the technique you can control fire, water, lightning, and any of the other elements. Asia, I bet this one would be easy for you, wanna try?"

"Sure" she answered immediately.

She then looks at me "Haru, you don't see to have problem with the concept, but you'll need to practice in order to be quicker, that's the only way to use it at any time in battle"

"Yeah maybe, but I'll stick with chakra for now, it's much easier for me to use right now, but I promise you I will practice every time I can"

She seemed satisfied with that before looking at Issei "Issei, for now I feel you need to spend a little more time on those concentration exercises"

"Uhh, I know" as I could literally feel the disappointment coming off of him

"Like Haru said mentioned earlier, visualization is the essence of all magic, think about whatever it is you want, and see it happening in your mind, okay?"

Issei then puts a finger to his cheek and looked up "are there any rules about what I can imagine?"

"Not at all, anything you want, just concentrate"

Then I saw Issei stare at Akeno's breasts, almost like he could see through them (which I bet he will one day) before being called out and started saying perverted shit again, for which I hit him upside the head for.

Though in my heart I couldn't blame him, his entire existence is dedicated to being a pervert.


Lesson 3: Sparring with Koneko

BOOM!
BOOM!

"AHHHH!" screamed Issei after being sent into a tree.

"That was lame" Koneko is as harsh as ever.

"Don't you dare turn your back on me" as I aimed to kick Koneko from behind.

Though she knew I was coming and dodged it, then aimed her tiny fist at my stomach.

Since I knew she doesn't pull her punches, I focus on avoiding then counter attack.

Though as I avoided her fist her free hand grabbed my leg "oh shit" before slamming me into the ground, with a crater forming from the impact.

It hurt like hell, but another punch was heading my way, ignoring the pain the best I can, I roll over to the side just barely avoiding it.

She didn't give up and just kept pounding away, forcing me to roll on the ground continuously.

I then tried to sweep her feet, but she just jumped out of the way, finally giving me some breathing room.

"I wasn't finished" as I see Issei charging at Koneko, only for her to dodge to the side before doing a spinning kick into the back of Issei's head.

She then jumped on top of him and performed a leg lock and held him in place.

"You got to aim more towards the body's central axis and learn to strike with precision at your victim's core" as she gave him some advice before making him pass out.

As she got off of him she then turned her attention towards me.

"You ready? Your next" she says getting ready to go another round.

"But of course" as I dust myself off first before taking up arms, we stayed still for a moment before we both came charging at one another.


We ended up fighting till sunset, we took breaks in between rounds but we still felt pretty good.

Even after Issei regained consciousness he was still no match for Koneko

"Screw this, Asia's like the manifestation Queen and I can't even control my own imagination, I suck at life"

"Don't say that Issei, it's just that there are certain things others are better at compared to you" though as I said that I could already know that didn't help.

"We all have powers that are unique to us" as Koneko saved me.

"Yeah right, name one thing I'm better at than other people?" asked Issei

""You're a pervert"" both me and Koneko say at the same time, we've been doing that a lot lately.

"Thanks a lot you two" which seemed to depress him.

"Wait, there's more" which caught Issei's attention as he looked at Koneko.

"You can also be a really hard worker" as she actually gave him a compliment for the first time.

"Hey, you think so, that's not so bad, thanks Koneko"

"Suck it"

That was enough motivation as he chased after Koneko into the forest, before long I heard the sound of Issei's head getting hit (because his head is so hollow except when it comes to boobs) I looked out into the beautiful sunset sky.

"These guys, are really fun to be around, in my old life I never could experience these things"

Back in my old world I wasn't exactly what you would call "socially involved" with others.

I could talk with people just fine, but making friends wasn't exactly something I focused on, since anime was aside from family my only reason for living, especially when it came to Naruto.

But now that I've come here I feel so much more 'alive' than I did before, except for school which is honestly boring, being able to fight Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels and everything in between using the powers I have now thanks to the Naruto System were things I could only dream of before now.

I don't know if I'd consider myself a battle maniac like Vali or the others, but when I do fight it feels like my heart starts beating a thousand times a minute.

"For now I'll just enjoy my daily life to the fullest with these guys"

"Hey Haru, get your head out of your ass and give me a hand" as I looked behind me and saw the two of them going at it.

"This really is nice" as I walked over to them and got back to training.


Dining Room

"Damn, this is so good" as I moaned in pleasure for the food.

We were all having dinner after our first day of training, of course Issei and I had to eat the majority of the food.

After Issei had used his power to peel all the potatoes and onions, though there were other foods available, like this boar (caught by Rias), fish (also caught by Rias), soup (made by Asia and Akeno) as well, most of them were cooked with the herbs found by Kiba, making it one of the best meals I've ever had.

"Uooo! It's delicioooous! It's really delicious!" I hear Issei cry out in delight as well. When you consider that most of the stuff we carried up the mountain was cooking equipment I guess that makes sense.

Though that wasn't the case for me until recently.

When I was training there wasn't exactly a lot of food options, so instead I relied on the system, luckily they had Food Pills, though there were two types. One was the regular one that allowed a shinobi to fight for three days and nights without taking a single break. The second type was Sakura Haruno's "special" Food Pills, or as Sai put it perfectly "Mud Balls", let me tell you, they were just as gross as Naruto said they were, inedible. But since they were both cheap and one of the only food options available, I had no choice to bear with it.

So until I left the mountains my taste buds were practically shot, I couldn't taste anything for about a month, even when I went to the café or even Akeno's tea it was just me acting.

To be honest, I worried for quite a while, but eventually my taste buds reawakened and I was ecstatic to taste real food again.

Still, there was a problem, that being I didn't want anyone finding out that I eat as much as a bear stocking up for the winter, since I have chakra I'm required to eat at least three times more than the average person, and I'll be damned if I let anyone see that, I'd never hear the end of it.

Instead I came up with a new method to handle my hunger issues, I took a standard Food Pill and actually cut it in half, then once more until I have four pieces about the size of a mint.

Doing this I'm actually cutting down the potency of the food Pills effect significantly. It manages to satiate most of my hunger and eat just as much as one person before feeling full.

No more Mud Balls for this guy hahahaha!

"Don't you dare try to peel me" as I saw Koneko scold Issei, as he was probably imagining the girls naked again, of course he denies it and tries to laugh it off.

"So how was it?" asked Rias

"Too small"

"Not that you idiot" I bonked him on the head.

"No, I mean today's training, did you learn anything knew?" she asked Issei.

At that Issei becomes sad "I did, I learned I'm the weakest link on this team"

"Knowing is half the battle, as they say. You shouldn't feel entirely useless though, between Asia's healing powers and your Boosted gear the two of you have become assets. Your opponent will always be aware of this, so I need you both to gain at least enough power to escape from any situation so that you won't slow the rest of the team down"

"Yeah, that makes sense"

"Okay"

As both Issei and Asia agree with her, she then turns towards me "Haru, there's something I've been meaning to ask you for a while"

As I was about to take another bite I stopped midway and looked at her "yeah, what is it?"

"I was hoping you could explain to us more in detail about your powers, I want to be able to incorporate your strength with the rest of the team. So would it be alright if you can teach us about it tomorrow?" as she looked at me with a smile, though it sounded perfectly reasonable I could already tell that she really just wanted to hear more about ninjas.

I've taught her and the others in the Occult Research Club about the basics of chakra, but not much else.

"She does have a point, it's not like others can simply gather chakra without even having a Chakra Network to begin with (of which the process was by far the single most painful experience of my life) so other than me no one else can harness its power. Even then it would take a massive amount of time and training to pull it off. It'd be best to at least provide some more information for her to work with, and it might help later on in the Rating Game"

"... I suppose so, but I'll only reveal what I can, is that alright?"

"That's fine, I look forward to it" as she seemed happy and excited about it.

"Same here, this sounds like it'll be a lot of fun" as Akeno placed a hand to her cheek and smiled.

"Cool" Koneko is of course being Koneko, though there's probably more to it than meets the eye.

"Maybe I should be careful, just in case" as I thought about what I should reveal, though so long as it doesn't concern how to create the Chakra Network and the Chakra Gathering Method then it should be fine.

Shortly after Rias got up from her seat "that was delicious and filling, I think we should head to the baths now"

"YOUR ALL GOING TOGETHER?" as Issei jumped out of his seat in excitement.

"That would be the plan, your such a silly goose would you like to come along? You want to see us naked together don't you. I don't mind. You Akeno?" Rias was as usual being cool about a boy seeing her naked body.

"Three"

"Ufufufu, no, I think it sounds like fun, we could bath him too" as she brought her hand to her cheek, laughed and blushed all at once, which just served to push him farther.

"Two"

"Would you mind if he came Asia? I wouldn't want any of us to feel uncomfortable"

"Sure" agreed Asia at once, sending Issei to the breaking point

"One"

"What about you-"

"I'd rather die"

"Oh well, sorry~" said Rias in a carefree tone.

"AHHH!" as Issei cried and fell over in sorrow.

"Now that's just melodramatic" as she peeked over and looked at him.

"If you peek I'll kill you" as Koneko threatened him, hoping it actually got through to his thick, perverted skull.

"I'm surprised he actually believed he had a shot" as I poked his twitching body with an unused spoon.

"What about you Haru?" as she looked at me with a bigger smile than before.

"I don't quite feel like dying just yet" which earned me a... smile?

No, forget that, let's just head on over to the bath.

..

"Just why are the girls in this club be so unguarded when it comes to their bodies?... right, forgot, this is an ecchi universe" as I slapped my own head for my own stupidity.


Male Baths

"Ahhh, man this feels amazing" as I moan out in pleasure while soaking in the huge outdoor bath.

It was the biggest and probably the most luxurious bath I've ever been to in my life.

They have lions that pour out the hot water to a bath the size of a kiddy pool at a water park. Gorgeous marble walls, huge stone pillars made out of probably rare materials, everything about this bath is so extravagant.

"Oh my Devil, rich people get to experience this every day, lucky bastards. Stupid rich people, we commoners could never have such pleasures. . . ." as I cursed them for their wealth that normal people could only dream of having.

I never could have imagined it myself until I came to this world.

"This is probably going to be the norm from now on, though I mustn't forget my roots" as I made another vow to myself to not be too absorbed into the Devil's culture.

"HAAAH! HAAAH! HAAAH!" as I hear heavy breathing coming a little ways away from me, though I can already tell who's doing that.

Issei, staring at the wall.

"Should I leave you two alone? You and that wall look like you need some privacy" said Kiba, making me laugh in response.

"Whatever, this is part of my training you idiot!" screamed Issei back

"They teaching you X-ray vision or something, I didn't know that was part of the routine"

"It isn't" I replied instead, smiling at Issei's stupid ideas, yet somehow they always seem to cause miracles when it comes to breasts.

"If that's what my power is then so be it. It was given to me for a DAMN GOOD REASON. HAAAAAAAAA!" as Issei began screaming at the wall once more.

"Thank the Devil for me gaining these abilities and not Issei, otherwise he might have just walked on the walls and peeped on Rias and the others" as I felt grateful to the universe for avoiding such a catastrophe.

"But maybe I should… nonononono, I am not Issei dammit" as I suddenly imagine seeing Rias, Akeno, and Koneko naked-
"STOOOPP! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?"

"Don't tell me… is Gaia really out to get me?" as I imagined how all of the things here have played out since the moment I arrived.

"LIKE HELL IT IS!" as I submerged my head in the water and tried to push those thoughts out of my head.

A few minutes later Issei and Kiba left, leaving me the only male left in the bath. After I've calmed down I'm sitting in the bath thinking.

"By now Grayfia should be reporting to Sirzechs about what happened today, though I wonder what's changed now that I'm here?"


Underworld

Unknown Location

Third Person POV

Inside this room there were only two people, one of them was Grayfia, the other was a male sitting on a throne, though one thing that did stand out from him was his red hair.

Though if Haru were here he would recognize him in a heartbeat.

Sirzechs Lucifer

The Crimson Satan

"That's quite a story" says Sirzechs

"Indeed" agreed Grayfia

"Hmm, sounds just like Rias" said Sirzechs, as up till now things were as they should be.

At least… they were supposed to.

"Honestly, at first I didn't think she had any chance of winning" Grayfia spoke as if sounding in doubt.

"So did I… at least, that is until he arrived"

"Yes, that boy. I heard about him from the report Souji gave us a while back" as she remembered what Souji told him about that boy when he suddenly appeared out of thin air near Souji's home.

At first he thought he was just some kid that got lost in the mountains, thinking he would just help him out, erase his memories and such things.

Though once he saw those scarlet eyes he could tell something was special, so he decided to leave the kid and watch over him (without him ever realizing)on his own.

He assigned someone he could trust to watch over that place and to report whenever the kid returned.

Sometimes the kid would disappear somewhere and wouldn't return for almost a month at a time, they checked the barriers for any distortions but couldn't find anything. So they assumed he has some sort of special ability that lets him do so, or that he was transported to a different space entirely within the barrier.

They had been keeping an eye out on him for the past three years, over that time they saw how rapidly his abilities were increasing every time he left.

At first they assumed he had some sort of Sacred Gear, though that quickly was scrapped as they soon heard him mention his clan's name by chance.

The Uchiha Clan

They searched everywhere for that name but only came up empty, it was as if the clan simply did not exist, yet the boy was surprisingly informed about the clan himself, so they could only assume that he was probably the last of a clan that never revealed themselves, neither to the human world or the Supernatural.

"He did say that his was a ninja clan"

Which wouldn't be so surprising, considering that there are still things in this world even they know nothing about, and the young boy's unique techniques soon proved this fact.

This fact alone piqued Sirzechs interest. After all every faction is obsessed with ninjas (himself included). Though these ninjas were far more interesting than any other he had seen before.

Then a brilliant idea came to mind.

"If we can convince him to join our side, Devils would soon have ninja techniques of their own"

This idea excited him to no end, after all. Ninjas are the greatest.

So in the end he kept this boy a secret only between him, his wife, Souji, and one other person…

Over these three years they have watched over him.

They could also see that he was very protective of his clan's secrets, but believed that the truth will eventually come to light.

The boy had a strong, yet kind heart, though buried underneath it he harbors pain and loss, something they have all seen in Rias's servants time and time again. This also confirmed how he said that he was the last of his clan, and from the reports it seemed it happened only a few years ago prior to their "discovery".

Three years later during one of their regular reports they informed him that he appeared to be leaving shortly.

He then asked Souji to guide the young man out, though given his laid back personality he just wrote a letter and gave him a map, which greatly angered Grayfia, and to which he has yet to recover from her "discipline". It even made Sirzechs tremble as he recalled the screams Souji made while being dragged off into the depths of the Gremory household.

The last thing they expected however, would be that he would run into his own little sister on his first day.

"It's almost as if fate brought them together" as he smiled at the thought.

One thing led to another and he decided to join his little sister's peerage.

Since then his little sister has been far more cheerful than usual, especially when she found out he was a ninja, much like Sirzechs she was ecstatic, mostly thanks to Souji's influence for her interest in Japan.

He could tell that Haru was just the thing she needed in her life, and he was pretty sure that sooner or later-

"Which is why you let her go through with the training, correct?" said Grayfia.

"I let her make her own decisions, she's next in line to be Head of the House of Gremory after all. Though I believe Haru's words and his demonstration proved to be quite persuasive" as a magic circle appeared and displayed a video.

It was actually playing the events that happened with Riser the other day. When Sirzechs saw him and that fierce determination in his eyes, he couldn't help but approve of such a man, he was leagues above Riser in terms of character.

The image then changed to Rias as she accepted the Rating Game option with a proud look on her face, befitting the future Head of the House of Gremory before the screen disappeared.

"I seriously hope she's capable of at least that" says Sirzechs.

"As do I" agreed Grayfia.

As Sirzechs shifts around in his chair, another magic circle opens up showing an image of Haru in his school uniform, along with Kiba, Issei, and Asia surrounding him, though Haru was smiling and laughing with them.

"I look forward to seeing your true potential, Haru Uchiha"
