Hi Guys!
Im back! Hopefully with a quicker update then last time.
Jesus Christ, chap 8 had some serious backlash. Definitely my most negatively taken chapter (Watch me go through the reviews and realize that I was wrong…)
The two main criticisms I got were about the Natsumi-Stray scene and Venelana's reasoning, if I remember correctly.
Now the Stray thing comes from the fact that how Strays work in my story is slightly different to canon. In canon pieces can go to some extreme lengths without being turned into a stray (Issei's Juggernaut Drive being an example). In my story, becoming a stray is due to a mixture of emotions and power. For example, if a King is hundreds of times stronger than a peerage member then no matter how out of control their emotions get they will never be able to turn into a Stray. Meanwhile you have the situation with Natsumi, where not only is her power level close to Naruto's but she also disobeyed a (Admittedly hasty) order from her king and also her emotions were out of control, thus she started becoming a Stray. That is also why when he got the power up she suddenly stopped becoming a Stray.
I'm sorry I didn't explain that better and if anyone has any more questions feel free to PM me~
Onto less negative topics…HOLY FUCK! 169 of you guys voted on the poll!? That's ridiculous, but also pretty funny when I look at the Poll and then the reviews I basically get two extremes but at opposite ends of the scale. On the poll, at 135-34, Team Naruto wins. Meanwhile in the reviews nearly every single one that brings up this issue is strongly in favor of her being on Team Issei just so that she doesn't end up with Naruto XD
Worry not for the poll will be up for this chapter and likely the next one as well~ Plenty of time to reach a decisive decision!
Okay…ONTO THE REVIEW REPLIES!

Silver eyes gleamed in excitement as three men charged her, small splotches of ice attached to their bodies, embroidery on the cloak letting her know that they were Captain's, to be specific: One level 4 Captain and two level 3's.
Sayuri, now 13 (She's a year younger than Naruto) stood at 5'4, Her long silver hair pulled into a ponytail. She wore open toed sandals and tight black pants, she would have gone for a skirt but with all the spinning and flipping she did she wasn't going to tempt fate, and on her upper body was a loose silver kimono top. Over all of that was a black Haori with red clouds on it, marking her as a member of the Akatsuki.
Her training over the last year with Naruto clearly showed itself as with barely a moments hesitation she ran forward and vaulted over the level 4 Captain while snapping her legs out, doing the splits in mid air, and caught both level 3's in the jaw. All three fell to the ground before shakily standing to their feet, at least in the level 3's case, and glared at her only to get a cocky grin in return.
Roaring in anger the weakest Captain charged forward at top speed while the other two tried to capitalize on his thoughtless actions and created ice spears to impale the Wolf Spirit/Devil hybrid. Leaning back while twisting her body she avoided the spears with ease. Seemingly weak and dainty hands grabbed the ice spears and with a simple clenching of her fingers broke the sharp tips off. Snapping herself upright she threw the ice shards too fast for the two strongest Captains to avoid and the shards impaled them, blood soaking through their shirts and coats as they tried to stay upright.
Focusing her attention back on the weakest Captain she sighed at his foolishness and, focusing some magic to her naturally sharp nails/claws, slashed downward with her hand. Out of her nails came five sharp waves of magic which was sent hurtling at the Captain, if he had been further away, or, y'know, NOT charging her at full speed he likely could have dodged. Sadly he was not that lucky and the magic strike hit him dead on, not slicing through his entire body but getting pretty close to half of it as his steps faltered and he stumbled over his own feet before hitting the ground and sliding to a stop in front of Sayuri.
The girl pouted at the lack of challenge from the three Captains and turned to look behind her, seeing Naruto calmly leaning against a tree while writing in his notebook.
Naruto had grown in the last year, now standing at 5'6 and allowing his blood red hair to grow out slightly longer. He wore long black camo Cargo pants and a black short sleeved shirt, on his left arm was a forearm protector with multiple metal layers, over the top of that was a black cloak with red clouds on it, a red chain linking the high collars together (Akatsuki style Minato cloak, or Naruto Sage cloak). On his feet he also had black, steel capped boots.
His sharp purple eyes looked at the defeated Captains and then to the multitudes of dead Frozen that he had taken care of while she dealt with the Captains, making sure that none were alive, he nodded.
"Probably best to leave soon anyway" Naruto spoke while snapping his notebook closed "If we stay here much longer they might be able to find us" He said, getting a nod from Sayuri.
A cough caught the two's attention to a sight that made Sayuri pale and Naruto sigh while hanging his head.
"SSSssssshit" He drawled out.
Staring at the two with a raised eyebrow was Grayfia Lucifuge. Sadly the both of them knew why she was here….and that they couldn't escape now that she was here.
"Its just a Ball, I'm not even the heir of the Gremory's. Do I really need to attend?" Naruto tried to reason with Grayfia, Sayuri nodding like a bird on crack next to him.
"Sairaorg Bael goes as well" Grayfia retorted simply.
"He chooses to go" Naruto reminded her.
For a moment the clearing is silent as the two teens stare at Grayfia hopefully while she stares at them blankly, internally sighing as she couldn't think of a proper retort to that comment.
"You are the son of Lady and Lord Gremory. You must go" She said with a hint of finality in her tone.
The two teens both sighed in annoyance as Grayfia opened up a portal to the Underworld and forced them through.

Natsumi swatted Naruto's hand as he continued to fidget and adjust his suit.
"Leave it alone Naruto-sama. You look fine as it is" She said, a slight blush adorning her cheeks as she admitted that.
"Its not about looks, its about the stupid things being uncomfortable and barely being able to move in them" Naruto said as he tried to adjust it again.
Behind the two Sayuri sat in a silver dress scowling as Tsunade giggled from besides her and patted her shoulder. The medic wearing a forest green kimono with flowers on it.
Natsumi herself wore a beautiful gold dress that went down to her calves and had a slit going up the left side up to her hip.
"Come on Naruto-sama. Even Saeko-san and Esdeath-san have gotten dressed up" Natsumi said in an attempt to somewhat curb his sour attitude.
Looking back the 14 year old felt his eye twitch furiously as he noticed the, admittedly beautiful, battle dresses the two were wearing. The two 'guards' of Naruto also having their swords on full display, a prototype (Mainly due to her not being fully grown yet) of her sword attached to Saeko's hip.
"They are wearing battle dresses" He stated factually before gesturing to his own, very much not made for battle of any kind, suit.
Natsumi simply smiled prettily, seemingly not caring about his comment. This simply just caused the King to sigh and snap his fingers, a large teleportation circle appearing underneath them and quickly teleporting the six Devils to the Gremory Mansion to make their 'grand entrance' as Zeoticus called it.

Purple eyes blinked lazily as blue-green eyes bored into him. Naruto dramatically yawned as Rias glared at him, something which had happened so often in the last four years that he had simply just given up caring a long time ago.
"Are you really glaring because we have to stand next to each other?" He asked apathetically.
"I don't like standing next to monsters" She snapped back in reply.
Naruto then realized exactly the effect that Natsumi and Sirzechs had on his behavior when he had to bite back the reflexive sarcastic comment that nearly escaped. Instead he merely stayed silent as the group walked into the large ball room of the Phenex family, Naruto and his peerage sinking quickly into the shadows as all the attention was placed on the rest of his family members. The best part? His parents would be so busy dealing with the attention that they wouldn't be able to drag him or his peerage into it.
With a speed born of experience the group of six made their way to their well hidden corner table and sat down, a tradition over the last 4 years.

Twenty minutes later the King and Queen of the youngest Gremory peerage could be found arguing with a holographic display screen of Rossweisse who had to stay behind because she wasn't a Devil, or in his peerage.
"Rossweisse, just because we finally got the fusion power system working that doesn't mean that you can start plugging things into it left and right" Naruto said calmly, Natsumi nodding along.
"Think of it as a stress test" Rossweisse said simply with an innocent smile.
"A stress test that can and likely will blow you and our warehouses into tiny smithereens?" Natsumi asked with a raised eyebrow.
The silver haired Valkyrie raised her finger up before sighing and dropping it while hanging her head.
"Maybe just the supercomputer?" She asked feebly while looking at Naruto with large, tearful eyes.
The girls all sighed quietly as they watched Naruto crumble under something which they had all admittedly abused themselves, tearful puppy eyes. With a groan of annoyance he nodded his head, getting a squeal of excitement out of the silver haired girl right before the call cut out.
"Is Aunt Rossweisse still being a weirdo?" A childish voice said from next to Natsumi.
Sayuri laughed and picked up Millicas only to drop him on her lap.
"Of course she is, when isn't Aunt Valk being a weirdo?" She joked to the now 9 year old boy who giggled.
"Don't be mean Aunt Sayuri" Millicas laughed back, the two bringing a smile onto the face of everyone at the table. Right up until a hand landed on Naruto's shoulder.
"Aunt Sayuri huh? Anything I should know, buddy?" Sairaorg teased his best friend who blushed crimson.
"No" He said resolutely but in embarrassment.
"Yeah! I call all of Uncle Naruto's peerage 'Aunty'" Millicas chimed in, in what was supposed to be a helpful gesture but only dug his uncle further into the pit of teasing.
"Your entire peerage!? Way to go" Sairaorg teased his friend who just whined and placed his head in his hands.
"You know that, that isn't why he calls them 'Aunty'" He whines, getting a laugh out of his friend and nephew while the girls around him all blush to varying degrees about the implications of what Sairaorg said.
Sairaorg simply just laughed while sitting at the table, his laughter joined by Millicas and soon enough the rest of the table, even through Naruto's was very much embarrassed.
"Naruto, you free anytime soon?" Sairaorg asked, getting a raised eyebrow from his friend.
"Of course. Need help with something?" He asked curiously.
"Just wanted to spar with you, maybe get some training in. After all, I can tell that in the last two years you've drastically gotten stronger" Sairaorg said with a challenging smirk.
"I'm not the only one" He said, obviously referencing his friends own growth in strength.
The conversation suddenly stopped as they heard a sneered laughter approach their table, turning to the source of laughter all of the teenagers glared at the approaching person.
"This pipsqueak? Strong? Please! He couldn't break a piece of paper with a sword" Raiser taunted while staring Naruto down, said boy easily schooling his features.
"Unique insult" He retorts dryly, only getting an arrogant chuckle out of the elder teen.
"Charming words weakling, but its not like you actually deserve getting something worth any thought" He said with a flourish of his hand.
"That sentence seemed to have quite a bit of thought placed into it" Naruto said calmly, a teasing twinkle in his eyes for barely a second.
The Phenex glared at Naruto for a moment before his ego stepped in to save him from the verbal loss.
"Of course not. Something that may seem like a lot of thought to a simpleton like you is like a fleeting thought to me" He said while puffing his chest out, Tsunade quietly giggled as she imagined a chicken doing the same.
"That says far more, negatively, about you than it does me. If you have such a hard time, grasping thoughts, maybe a psyche check is needed?" Naruto quipped lightly.
All pretense of politeness and pleasantness disappeared in an instant as Raiser glared and leaned over, slamming his palms on the table and glaring heavily at Naruto who returned the stare equally.
"Now you listen here you tiny, insignificant speck" Raiser spat angrily "This is my ball, my house. That means my rules. That makes my word law, understand?" He seethed while glaring daggers "So if I say that you are a weakling who doesn't even deserve to breath the same air as the strays that you consistently cause-" Natsumi flinched and looked guiltily at her King "Then that means that you are all of those things, and forever will be"
Naruto merely stayed silent and raised an eyebrow, his fists clenching minutely as the Phenex boy glared viciously.
"Now, unless you would like you and your gaggle of Sluts to be kicked out you will-"

Sirzechs sat at a large table with Serafall and the Lords and Lady's of the Gremory's, Sitri's and Phenex's. The 2 century old Devil turned to Serafall.
"Sera, during our trip to Kyoto, you don't mind if I bring Naruto do you. To learn about politics and stuff?" He asked the bubbly girl.
"Sirzech's, you are a Maou. You shouldn't ask something so informally" Venelana admonished her son.
"We both have the same station, neither of us care for formalities, and this isn't a formal request anyway" Sirzechs listed off, both of his parents blinking in surprise at the answer. Both of them used to the regular childlike, hyperactive answers he usually gave.
"Exactly!" Serafall chimed in happily "And sure, it's a pretty small deal anyway. Not incredibly large~"
Sirzechs smiled gratefully to his war-buddy who only giggled in return.
"So why do you want to bring Naru-tan along?" Serafall asked curiously as she nonchalantly chugged an entire glass of wine in one gulp.
"I've said this before but ill say it again, you will truly make your husband a happy man" Sirzechs said dryly while Serafall giggled.
"I know~"
"Anyway I want to bring him along because he's said that he wants to be the Leviathan Maou one day" Sirzechs said cheerfully, having forgotten that he only said he would become the Leviathan if he had to be a Maou.
"He wants to be Leviathan!?" Serafall said excitedly.
Before anything else could happen the flailing body of Raiser Phenex flew past them, a wave of wind and broken cutlery and furniture following, causing the eight Devils to cover their eyes to avoid glass or wooden splinters as they flew past and followed the Phenex as his body hit the thick concrete wall of the mansion and caused it to crack and crater, the damage so intense that his body actually had to take a few seconds to repair itself.
"What just happened?" Venelana asked in confusion as everybody in the hall looked at Raiser's body as he slowly raised himself to his feet.
"Fuck you!" The usually arrogant Phenex yelled while staring down the trench of destruction his flailing body had caused.
Everybody followed his gaze and the Gremory family, including Sirzechs, widened their eyes in surprise at what they saw. Stalking down the trench in the hall was Naruto Gremory, purple eyes glowing from the magic running through his system as he glared daggers at Raiser. Walking up to the once injured teen the 14 year old smirked.
"You look a bit roughed up Raiser~" He stated teasingly before all pretenses of his light hearted façade disappeared in an instant "I don't appreciate your comments about my peerage" He said coldly.
The elder teen growled and allowed his magic to flair out, surrounding the two in fire. Nearby objects shriveling up and burning under the surprisingly intense heat of the Phenex.
"Interesting use of Magic Projection, allow me to show you mine." Naruto stated as his eyes pulsed in power.
The only warning was the shards and splinters which began floating for about a second before a crushing presence fell on Raiser's body, seemingly freezing him to the spot as a yellow aura of energy covered his body. The teen merely raised an eyebrow as the trick he had learnt years ago from experience via Odin suddenly came in handy. The fried chicken growled in anger and tripled his Magic Projection to match Naruto's controlled Projection, Raiser needing to Project more Magic due to him just allowing it to flow free, unlike Naruto.
"Stand down!" With that shout the entire hall quieted, nobody even dared speak a whisper.
Standing and glaring down the two boys was Sirzechs Lucifer, radiating a fury which reminded everyone exactly why he was a Maou and became so feared in the civil war. As quick as possible the two boys powered down, both staring unwaveringly at Sirzechs, as if the slightest blink or aversion of their gazes would wind up with them atomized.
"Now I would like an explanation" He said seriously, walking up to them along with their parents.
Naruto felt himself shrink under the glares of the five adults, and the rest of the building. The look on his parents faces being something which he hadn't experienced in roughly a year and that brought up bad memories.
"I was simply talking to Naruto peacefully and-" Raiser began before being cut off.
"Your arrogance astounds me. Do not think that I am unable to see through your lies. Speak the truth or else" Sirzechs warned the Phenex.
"Fine" Raiser said through clenched teeth "I was showing the little upstart who's boss. Reminding him of his place and he snapped and got a lucky shot in" He admitted.
Naruto felt a strange amount of anger at all of his training being summed up as 'a lucky shot' but knew that an outburst would only get him in more trouble. So he settled for glaring at Raiser out of the corner of his eyes.
"Naruto Gremory" Sirzechs said formally, the anger in his voice making the teen flinch while turning to his older brother "Are the words he speaks, the truth?"
"Yes. They are" He said, swallowing his pride and not trying to give his point of view, believing it to be a worthless endeavor at this point.
"I see….." Sirzechs said before humming for a moment "Despite the verbal actions of Raiser Phenex, you still started the conflict. Due to this, you will pay for all the damage you caused, and you are cut off from any and all monetary, personnel and material possessions belonging to Clan Gremory for a minimum of 3 years" Sirzechs said harshly.
And just like that the weight of the world fell on the astonished teens shoulders. His legs trembling as the realization hits about the true implications of his actions bear down on him. His outburst had damaged not only the hall but also the political alliance between the Phenex's and Gremory's but also lowered their reputation as well. And for that he had been disowned in all but name from the Gremory Clan.
"Make no mistake, Phenex" Sirzechs said, turning his gaze on the smugly grinning boy "You will also receive a punishment. For the next three years you shall also be restricted from Clan Phenex's monetary possessions" Raiser now shared a look similar to Naruto's.
"Now, I want the two of you to go and cool your heads" He suggested, though it was more of an order "You may return in an hour" He added on sternly.
The two boys nodded numbly, Naruto using his experiences such as 'The incident' to force his shaking legs to move in what could be considered a normal walk. Soon the action became easier and easier as he began running the moment he left the ball. The world blurred around him as his eyes brimmed with tears, brown filling his vision before it turned to green as he left the mansion and entered the forest. Running as fast as possible he eventually came to a stop and sunk to his knees by a tree. He began to cry in the emptiness of the forest, letting his emotions run wild.
"Yeah kid, I know the feeling" A sympathetic voice said from a branch on the tree he was kneeling besides.
Snapping his head up his slightly blurry eyes widened at the sight of large black ears and a double ended, black fur tail. The figure also wore a very revealing Obi, not that he actually noticed in his emotional distress though.
"Kuroka the Black Cat? What are you doing here?" He asked between sniffles.
"Watching over my little Shirone. Though, talking to you is a little bit higher on my priorities right now, nya" She said while lounging on the tree branch and looking down at him.
"I've already had enough emotional beatings today to last a life time. If you're going to kill me at least do it without the fanfare" He said while sniffling, knowing that he still wasn't strong enough to take on an SS-class criminal like Kuroka.
"Nah, I'm not going to do none of that, nya. Just lend an open ear, I know how it feels to have your world crumble around you, nya" Kuroka said somberly, looking back at the mansion from her vantage point sadly.
"I'm insane" He whispered gently to himself while jumping to his feet "It's just. Raiser! He treats me like shit! He does nothing but tease and belittle and insult me! To him I'm lower than an Angel and the only time I ever see him is at this STUPID BALL! I always try to get out of it but noooooo! I'm the son of Lord and Lady Gremory how DARE I not want to go to an event meant solely for the heirs and heiresses to attend!" He vented, the more he talked the less he cared about who it actually was, that he was venting to as he paced in circles "And then the one time that I retaliate I get that! I'm basically disowned in everything but name! No more support! No more resources! Nothing!" He yelled while clutching his hair and falling to his knees again while crying.
He continued to cry loudly even as Kuroka hopped out of the tree and pressed a comforting hand on his back, her eyes widening and her cat features standing on end at the sheer strength his connection to nature energy had. Though she pushed that thought to the side in favor of comforting the teen who continued to ball his eyes out on the ground.

Was Naruto ashamed that it took him roughly 40 minutes to compose himself of what essentially boiled down to a temper tantrum? Not really, he believed it justified given the circumstances. Would he ever tell anyone about it, or how long it took? Not on his dying breath. What had actually helped was sort of a makeshift therapy session between him and the black haired criminal. For the entire forty minutes they swapped stories, grievances and even perceived failures.
"Thanks…..for the therapy session" He said softly while smiling slightly at her, his eyes and cheeks still red and puffy from how much crying he did.
"It's fine, nya~ I sort of saw myself in you so it didn't hurt to lend you a hand" She said with a teasing smirk.
A soft laugh left his mouth as she said that.
"While it did help, it'll likely be the only time we can do this, for helping me out I promise not to tell anyone about this interaction" He said while bowing to the girl who blinked in surprise.
"Who said this would ever be the last time?~" Right after saying that she morphed into a cute black house cat with two tails which twisted together to make what looked like one large fluffy one.
Kuroka, due to years of practice, easily jumped from the ground and onto his shoulder.
"And because I'm a Nekoshou no one will ever know that I'm anything more than an adorable house cat, nya" her voice said, coming out of the cats mouth.
"And you want to stick around me…why?" He asked in confusion.
"Because you get to be near Shirone much more than me, and you're interesting, nya~" She said in a sing song voice.
The boy simply sighed and nodded, knowing even after only forty minutes that arguing with her when she was like this was a completely useless act.
"Welcome to the family I guess, what should I name your cat form?" He asked the Youkai/Devil hybrid.
"Princess" She said smugly while sitting on his shoulder, curling around the back of his neck.
She just got a dry look from Naruto as he walked back to the mansion, and his inevitably worried Peerage.

Small, dainty fingers tapped a sharp rhythm on her desk as she used her other hand to massage her temple, the strain from the previous night giving her a massive migraine. Even now she could still hear the voices in her head. Feeling a hand on her shoulder she looked up to see Peter smiling gently as he sat besides her.
"The prayers again?" He asks, Olivia nodding tiredly while massaging her head.
"You get used to it eventually, but then again I don't think even in my prime I had as much prayers as you're getting. It may have something to do with all of those good acts you've been doing" He says with a fatherly smile that she smiles back at before looking at the table and frowning.
Olivia's green eyes stare at the messy blonde locks on the table that belonged to her.
"Its wrong though. Doing what Angels are supposed to do and follow Gods will shouldn't be such a monumental act that I gain followers like this" She complains before wincing as a shot of pain surges through her head.
"I know. But as sad as it is, it is true and it is reality. To change it would need something monumental. You don't need to worry about that though. You just need to worry about your followers and that nasty headache of yours" Peter chuckles "Would you like some medicine to try and help?" He asked kindly.
Olivia smiles gratefully and nods in return, the prospect of something, anything to nurse the migraine she currently had sounded better than God.
'Oops, there goes the collar again' She thought in embarrassment as it darkened a shade.
The collar sitting around her neck was now a solid grey, though it had gotten much darker before. There was a common misconception about the Collars that most Angels had and that once it reached a shade, it could never go lighter. That assumption was actually wrong. The Collar was only an indicator about how close an Angel was to Falling. The only reason so many went around with dark collars was that once a Collar was put on, it never came off. The High Council refused to even budge on their thoughts on the matter, stating that once a Collar was placed on an Angel that they could fall at any moment and so the Collars couldn't be taken off as a 'safety precaution' for other Angels.
It was all bullshit and lies, the old cronies are just paranoid and the fear created by the collars allows them a slight modicum more power than one might expect someone of their positions to have.
Seeing Peter walk back into the room she smiled gratefully and swallowed the pills, hoping that they take effect soon and help soothe the migraine created by the prayers that most Angels receive. As she walked into the spare room, that was practically hers, in Peter's house the Angel frowned. The severity of her headache worried him, no Angel that he had heard of had ever had such a bad headache to prayers, even those about to fall had smaller headaches than Olivia, who by this point was having full-on migraines. What was going on?

Olivia sighed as the teleportation formula disappeared and left her in a large building, a now annoyingly familiar hum accommodating her arrival into the building. Looking around she saw the customary paintings, items and people. Though there seemed to be more than last time. As always she waited for the hums to end along with the peaceful piano in the background.
She had been feeling guilty for days and seeing all these people only multiplied that. Because she hadn't been completely honest. She was receiving prayers, though not as Olivia the Angel. She was receiving prayers as Olivia the Goddess. That was why her headache was so bad, because she wasn't receiving the influx of power that an Angel gets from prayers, she was getting the influx of power a Goddess gets.
She truly hadn't meant for any of this to happen. She had just been helping people like she always did and somehow people had stopped seeing her as a benevolent Angel helping people in accordance to God's Will. Now she was the benevolent Goddess who helps those down on luck or beaten down by life and regularly attends the 'Masses' held for her. Appearing for those probably didn't help dissuade the opinion of her being a Goddess. Though she had found out exactly how stubborn and hard-headed people could be and had given up trying to convince them she wasn't a Goddess about 3 months ago.
"All rise for our Goddess!"
