Hey guys~

I would all like you to know one thing. Your hate only makes me stronger!

I think that this latest chapter has been the only one that the negative comments (For which there was an ass-ton) didn't really faze me or make me think negatively about my skills as a writer.

Something I did notice though, as time went on I got more and more positive reviews. On the topic of positive reviews, I think nearly all the PM's I got were positive in some way, so thanks for that.

Also, at this point in time. There're 101 reviews on chap 9. HOLY FUDGE NOODLES!

Anyway, this review reply should be shorter than usual. Due to the flames generally all saying the same, or similar things. Now, without further ado.

ONTO THE REVIEW REPLIES!

The Storm Master 567: Thank you for the detailed review, I love ones like this~ Thank you for voting on my polls and explaining your reasoning, really helped a lot.

OmegaDelta: Yep, infuriating isn't it?

Doomqwer: Bitch gonna get smacked XD

Ezeakel: Well up until this point I'm glad you cared enough to write this review~

KuraiArashi14: I know right~

Scandalf: Thank you for bringing up most of the points people do in later chaps so I can skip them. If you keep reading fanfics that make you hate them, I really don't know what to say... And I really don't think you get what a fanfiction means…

BLstaz: He's still young, and teenagers have wild emotions. Go fudge yourself

Dragonkeeper10: Whenever you want. Go right ahead~

(I'd like to give props to the Guest who straight up called out Storm Master 567)

(I would also like to give props to the Guests who just straight up flamed the entire reviews section. You guys rock! XD)

Eternity456: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. He might get Odin or Ophis as a benefactor~ and the decision on if Akatsuki will be a mercenary group or full-fledged faction. Not sure to be honest.

Lordem: You too~ Also did you really leave a second review just to say I should kill myself? -_- Dude. Come on

36Barry72: Thank you for defending me. More on the forced drama stuff later.

SlyUzumakiVii: I'm glad you're enjoying it so much and have decided to download it. Also, don't worry. I HAVE THE CURE *Throws multiple needles at you*

MidnightRE: This comment made me so happy. I'll be sure to check out the photo!

Ij0nk: That's certainly an interesting way of looking at the issue. I applaud you for your differing mindset!

And that is all for the review replies. Now onto the forced drama issue. When I sat down and wrote the gala scene I had a completely different plan in mind, but I was already tired when I started writing (About 8:30-9PM) and that only got worse and worse until I finished (Roughly midnight). I think you can see where my drowsiness started to get to me and effect the pace and ending of the chap. Which is why I don't mind the flames, because honestly. I'm likely angrier at myself than you are at me.

Anyway. ONTO "WHINY BITCH BABY" THE STORY!

XXXxxxXXX

Purple eyes stared into purple eyes. One pair full of sadness and the other full of anger and curiosity. Idly a fluffy black tail swayed across his chest as Kuroka slept in her cat form on his shoulder.

"Let me get this straight. You want, me? The Devil with basically nothing, no prestige, no money, nothing. To come on a very important diplomatic meeting with the Youkai Faction?" Naruto asked incredulously while staring at Serafall.

"…Yes" She answered lamely.

"And, why, pray tell. Would I ever agree to that?" Naruto asked while glaring at her, his peerage (Plus Rossweisse) in the background, packing up all the gear in their rooms into small pocket dimensions.

Serafall looked between Naruto, his peerage, and the hundreds of items he would be forced to leave behind when he moved out of the warehouses. A ping of sadness resonating throughout her being as she looked around her.

'Your… Sirzechs. He spoke about you maybe wanting to be the Leviathan Maou. I thought that this might be a good learning experience" Serafall said, trying to keep her voice and body language happy and bubbly.

"Of course," He muttered while slouching back and rolling his head slightly. Locking his eyes back on hers he spoke once more "I'd like to correct that point. I made it very clear that I'm not looking to be a Maou. But if I did somehow become one. I would prefer to be the Leviathan" He said plainly.

His words caused the Maou to bite her lip slightly. Sirzechs had wanted him to go, and she was hoping that maybe taking Naruto and having them in close proximity would cause the rift between them to begin mending. It was hopeful thinking. But that was her entire M.O.

"If you come along I could give you some help" She said, catching the teens attention.

"Help? How so?" He asked defensively.

"I can give you some resources. Some money, Materials. Things like that" Serafall bargained. The knowledge that she was blackmailing him only made her feel guiltier, but she consoled herself by saying it was for a good cause.

The 14-year-old looked around at all the things they would have to leave behind. At all the things they were allowed to bring or that they even could bring. He stamped out the guilt in his heart with ruthless neutralism though.

"Okay. I'll go. When and where do I meet you?" He asked while trying to keep his voice as vacant and neutral as possible.

"In six days. Meet at the Sitri Estate at about…lunch!" She chirped before teleporting away.

Naruto, almost robotically, turned back to help pack all that they could physically bring with them. Seeing the Research warehouse, he decided to walk inside, one last time.

As he walked in he felt a soft, tender smile tug at his lips. He walked slowly, methodically. His fingers lightly running across various machines as he took a small detour down memory lane. He remembered getting nearly every single one of these machines. Using them for experiments and gadgets. Using them with his Peerage.

"You didn't have to stand with HIM! But because you DID! I get to kill you as WELL!"

Ah. And of course. How could he ever forget his first memory in this building. Ken… One of his largest mistakes. So many different ways he could have handled that situation. If he had been smarter, stronger…. kinder. He could have maybe had a stronger bond with his parents. With Rias. With Sirzechs. Maybe the added stability would have kept him cool enough to not deck Raiser. Maybe having a stronger bond with his parents and Sirzechs could have gotten him out of this very situation.

The teen forced himself out of his thoughts and quickly walked out of the Warehouse. The onslaught of memories and thoughts too much for him to continue dealing with at this time.

Walking out the front he saw his peerage and Rossweisse, all idly talking. Though some of their usual cheer was gone. He cursed himself and his moment of weakness even more.

"Naruto-sama!" Natsumi said happily. Practically flinging herself at him.

Said teen was surprised when he felt his Queen wrap him up in a tight embrace. He felt the scent of strawberries invade his nose as it was placed in her hair.

"I know you blame yourself. Please don't" She whispered in his ear softly.

Naruto looked at the kitsune in shock and only got a loving smile in return.

"H-how did? -..." He asked in shock.

"I know you the best. I know your tells. I don't blame you, we don't blame you. I think any one of us would have done worse~" She says with a light giggle before letting him go and walking over to the others.

As Natsumi walked back Naruto felt his heart pick up slightly. Looking at the girl, he felt his mood brighten slightly, and the weight that seemed to be resting on his shoulders lessen slightly. Walking over, he felt his mood drop slightly again. Though it was still a far cry from a few minutes ago.

"I'm going to be teleporting us somewhere far down south. From there we can try to find somewhere to build our new place" He said as a teleportation circle whirled into life underneath them.

"Why the south?" Esdeath inquired curiously as she walked to stand beside her Master.

"The south has the least amount of Devil clans" Naruto said with a small smirk.

And with that the 7 were teleported away. Not to see this location for quite some time.

Walking over to the beginning of a massive building with multiple wings was Tsunade. Said girl was lightly chewing her bottom lip in anxiousness as she consulted the book she was holding again. Since finding this unclaimed spot, nestled between a fairly large lake and two large mountains, they had all been working around the clock to build a new home for themselves. Though, for Naruto, that phrase was quite literal.

As she walked closer she could see her King using levitation magic to hold a support beam in place and bolt it together. The cat he had found a few days ago wrapped firmly around his neck and sleeping as he casually used magic to build a house for them all.

'Where does he keep finding all these pets? First Tri and now this cat that doesn't care about magic!?' Tsunade thinks in shock.

She heard a quiet yawn from the boy and that brought her back to why she had come to talk to him in the first place.

"Naruto! Can we talk?" She asked while looking up at him.

Despite having seen it for most of today the girl still slightly flinched at the dark and pronounced bags under his eyes.

"hmm. What's up? Actually, first. Do you think the design for our new house is good?" He asked, floating down to her and gesturing to the foundation work for the house.

"Its fine" She said dryly, honestly not caring about the house "Naruto. I'm worried. Have you slept at all since we've moved?" She asked, very likely knowing the answer.

"No, but I'm fine" He said while smiling softly at her.

"Don't bullshit me!" She growled "You need to sleep! The bags under your eyes look large enough to create a country!"

Naruto blinked and leaned back at the tone of her voice before smirking playfully.

"And where do you get off speaking like that? Maybe you need some tips from Natsumi?" He asked playfully.

Tsunade only narrowed her eyes further at the light-hearted words and actions. Such a stark contrast that she could almost immediately tell it was a cover-up. Though that was likely because of the massive amounts of study she did into psychology.

"I get to speak like this because I am your medic which means that I know what is and what isn't best for you. At least on a medical level" She said angrily.

Upon being called out on his fake actions and attitude the playfulness slipped away and left a tired and much less enthusiastic Naruto.

"Tsunade. Truly, I'm fine. I need to make sure that this place is finished as soon as possible. Give us an actual place to stay." He said softly while looking back at the house-to-be.

"Naruto. You know that none of us blame you right?" Tsunade said, trying to keep her voice soft and understanding.

The Gremory nodded slowly while turning to look at her from the corner of his eye. A small, sad, smile tugging at his lips.

"I know…. Natsumi let me know" He pauses, clenching and unclenching his fist a few times "But…. I still blame myself. No matter what any of you say. This was all my fault"

Tsunade paused for a moment, the fire of determination in her brown eyes wild fired into a blazing inferno as he grabbed his hand and pulled it, causing him to turn to her.

"Don't you even blame yourself for one second. This is not your fault. It is Raiser's fault. It is Sirzechs' fault. It is not your fault." Tsunade said resolutely.

"Great. Now if only I could feel the same way" He muttered as his free hand flexed.

"And that brings me back to the original topic of this conversation. You need to rest" She said with finality.

"I'm fine Tsunade" He said while trying to free his hand and go back to work.

Unfortunately for him, it was Tsunade that had come to get him, and not any of the other girls. He suddenly felt her grip increase and stop his hand from leaving hers completely. She started to walk back to their makeshift camp while pulling him like a deadweight. Two small trenches being created in the earth from his feet which slide along the ground like they weren't even putting up any resistance.

The sight that greeted the girls was surprisingly comedic. With Tsunade pulling along a weakly struggling and glaring Naruto who couldn't do anything to escape her vice-like grip.

Walking over to tent that was Naruto's (The smallest, by his design. The girls weren't exactly happy with that), Tsunade almost threw him onto the inflatable mattress that he had brought in place of not being able to use his actual bed. Poor Kuroka was sent flying off his neck with a loud 'meow'.

The teen groaned and tried to sit back up before a cough from his resident medic caused him to look up at her with mild annoyance.

"Don't even try to get back up, mister!" She said while leaning over and glaring at him.

"And why not?" He asked scientifically while sitting up anyway.

"If you keep trying to get up I will get the other girls, along with me, to basically straddle you until you fall asleep" She threatened with a teasing grin.

The poor 14-year-old felt all of the blood in his body rise to his face as he turned tomato red. His eyes unfocusing briefly as his brain momentarily short circuited at the mental image.

"Y-you wouldn't" He says in nervousness, before the more logical side of his brain took over.

He began to calm down and his blush dissipated as he realized how illogical and stupid it would be to have all the girls sitting on him just to make sure he fell asleep. He continued to get off the inflatable mattress. He never noticed Tsunade's grin even as she shrugged to herself and shook her head.

"Code: Workaholic!" She shouted, grinning evilly at his surprised 'huh?'

"Code: workaaaaa!?" He trails off into a shout of surprise as he is suddenly tackled back onto the mattress by Sayuri.

"Hiya So-Taichou~" She said in a sing-song voice before rolling onto his left arm.

His eyes quickly move to his right arm as Rossweisse sat on his arm with a light blush. Purple eyes quickly snap down to his legs as Saeko and Esdeath sit on his shins with large smiles. With every girl that sits on him his blush grows brighter and brighter, his vision wavering and blurring thanks to the amount of blood rushing to his head. The nail in the coffin though was when Tsunade herself straddled his stomach, wiggling around slightly before grinning and leaning down to whisper something in his ear. Whatever it was, he never learnt as he passed out.

"I got him to agree, after promising to give him some resources or money" Serafall huffed as she teleported into the Gremory Mansion, being greeted by Venelana, Zeoticus and Sirzechs.

"The same resources or money he wouldn't need if someone had taken even a second to think over something other than near-on banishment?" Venelana asked while staring out of the corner of her eyes at her eldest son.

Said eldest son chuckled and smiled nervously while raising his hands in the air in a surrender-like fashion.

"At least he agreed?" He said, trying to diffuse his mother's anger at him.

Venelana just huffed as Zeoticus held her hand in his own.

"Sirzechs is right though, the fact that he even agreed means that there is a chance that things can be repaired"

Serafall just huffed and vaulted the couch, landing nimbly in a lying-down position while staring at Sirzechs.

"I'd rethink your decision to send Naru-tan to school in the human world. I saw some of the stuff he had to leave behind, it's definitely much more advanced than I thought it would be. He's such a smarty pants!" She giggled at the end while thinking about the parallels between his age group and her own.

"But if him and Rias-tan go to school they can become brother and sister again. And he can learn about human history and get more peerage members" Sirzechs argued, raising an eyebrow as Serafall started giggling.

"Zechsie~ That would be the learning equivalent of placing you back in combat school" She pointed out.

Sirzechs raised a finger and opened his mouth to refute that point, but really couldn't find anything to argue it. Because it was truly like that. From what he had seen the few times he had been in Naruto's research warehouse it was like looking at Ajuka's room when they themselves were teenagers

"I mean…. It wouldn't be that bad…would it?" He asked, looking around the room as he began to have doubts about having Naruto go to school in the human world.

They all agreed that it wouldn't be the greatest decision and he sighed while slumping in his chair.

"I can't seem to do much right when it comes to Naruto, can I?" He asked.

Serafall merely stayed silent while his parents talked to him with hushed voices, an image of herself overlaying Sirzechs and making her squeeze her eyelids shut and shake her head lightly. Hearing a soft, deep chuckle inside her head, she quickly pushed herself up, backflipping off the couch and onto her feet. Seeing all of the eyes in the room turning to her she merely fakes an enthusiastic smile and bounces on the balls of her feet.

"Sorry! Gotta bounce! Just remembered that I haven't spent much time with So-tan! Gotta rectify that~" She giggles and waves at them as they wave back.

Her enthusiastic persona and actions last just long enough for her to teleport, the moment she was gone all of the enthusiasm drained out of her body. Suddenly she didn't look like a bubbly teenager in a magical girl outfit. She looked every part the 200-year-old, war veteran that she was. Her posture slumped, and her movements lacked energy as she shuffled over to her bed and faceplanted down, turning her face to the side. Her blank purple eyes staring at a calendar

25th May 2014

'Huh, it's pretty close to that day isn't it? I wonder if you ever hated that day before you died…' She thought sombrely.

Slowly she drifted to sleep as she delved deeper and deeper into memories she usually stayed away from. The image of silver hair and red eyes being the last thing she consciously remembered.

It was officially the day of the all-important meeting, Naruto stood in formal black pants with a white top and black vest over the top. He still found it stuffy and annoying, but he would gladly take this over the suits he had been forced to wear during formal events for the past few years.

Though right now, he faced a slightly more imposing problem than stuffy clothing.

"Natsumi. What am I looking at?" He asked his Queen who was standing beside him.

"I…um…really don't know, Naruto-sama" She trailed off slowly, as if trying to comprehend the situation.

In front of the two was a proudly smiling Esdeath, currently pinning Saeko to the ground while sitting on top of her. The purple haired girl trying to escape the grip of her fellow guard.

"So Saeko-san and I have talked it over Naruto-sama~" Esdeath grunted while Saeko tried harder to escape "And we've come to the unanimous decision that I'll be your guard for this trip~"

Anything that Saeko was going to say was muffled by Esdeath's hand.

"okay?" Naruto mumbled while waving Esdeath over in confusion.

The girl happily smiled and jumped off Saeko. Skipping over to him and grinning slyly at a glaring Saeko. Natsumi simply just shook her head, even while trying to suppress her own giggles at the situation.

Naruto only sighed while smiling fondly and snapping his fingers. A teleportation circle lighting up underneath the three of them.

Did Naruto take enjoyment out of the split second of terrified yelps that Natsumi and Esdeath let out as instead of sliding upwards, gravity took hold and they fell through the magic circle. Yes, yes, he did.

XXXxxxXXX

Sirzechs and Serafall both stood out the front of the Sitri Estate, Serafall chatting excitedly to Sirzechs to try and distract him from his nervousness at seeing Naruto again.

"Oh, he's arriving" Serafall said and looked towards a seemingly blank area ahead of them.

Sirzechs straightened himself out and looked towards the aforementioned area, knowing that Serafall (Out of the 4 Maou's at least) was their sensor. And a damned fine one as well.

A slender, red eyebrow rose in intrigue as the teleportation circle appeared a few meters above the ground instead of on the ground, as customary teleportation circles work. The moment he heard scared yelps he knew that something was definitely strange about the formula, right before Naruto, Natsumi and Esdeath fell through.

The Sanbi kitsune wobbled slightly on her landing, though that was still better than Esdeath; who only just managed to hold herself up. Naruto meanwhile spread his wings when he was mere centimetres from the ground, kicking up a small cloud of dust at his sudden stop. Folding his wings back into his back he smirked teasingly at the two girls, purposefully trying to avoid noticing Sirzechs.

"What was that for?" Natsumi asked while straightening herself out.

"That. My dear Queen, was revenge for 'Code: Workaholic'" He said simply before turning to Serafall.

"So, I'm assuming you're teleporting us to Kyoto?" He asked curiously.

"Nope! That'll be your brother~" She said bubbly, only noticing her mistake when she saw the darkening of his eyes.

Naruto mentally counted down from 20 to reign in his emotions as the two girls next to him looked at him in worry. Naruto looked back up calmly and nodded before stiffly walking over and standing besides Sirzechs, who sighed and teleported the five of them away with a sad grimace.

Yasaka couldn't help the slight giggle that escaped her mouth at the sight of the three teens that had joined the meeting just to watch what happened during it. She could very clearly see that the two girls were very protective of the boy, the adorable Sanbi girl was nearly attached to his arm as she helped lead him along. The Yuki-onna was also showing her protectiveness, but through a slightly different method. Yasaka was certain that the girl's right hand hadn't left the grip of her katana the entire trip. The truly amusing part, at least for her, was the boy's actions. The wide smile and sparkle in his eyes as he looked around, she could almost hear the cogs in his head, churning at a million miles per hour as he tried to analyse and memorize everything they walked past. The Sanbi's grip suddenly making much more sense as he looked ready to tear off down any path he saw.

Reaching her mansion, she gave them the next part of the traditional trade routine, showing them some of the more fanciful areas of her house. Once again, the teens managed to get a few tiny giggles out of her. Finally, they reached her Council Room to begin the actual business part of this meeting.

"So, what do the current Leviathan and Lucifer Maou's want so bad from little old me that they went through two months of formal and politic red tape to get a meeting?" Yasaka asked, deciding to test them by leaning her elbow on the table, strategically placing her arm and body to enlarge her chest.

She wasn't at all surprised when neither Maou payed it any particular notice. The best reaction she got out of them was a second of eye-to-chest contact from Serafall, who then looked down at her own chest for not even a full second and then back up to regain eye-to-eye contact. The reaction she got from the three teens was much more telling though. She saw the boy's eyes drift down, honestly, she was surprised at the willpower he had at such a young age when his gaze didn't maintain on her chest, instead flicking up and down. Obviously trying not to stare, but considering he was entering his teenage years, it wasn't a surprise that he couldn't help but stare.

The best part for the Youkai leader was when the two girls noticed, both glaring at her for attracting the boy's attention so easily.

"We would like to take control of a city in Japan" Serafall said simply, the silence in the room was deafening.

"I beg your pardon?" Yasaka asked in confusion as she stared at the two completely calm Maou in surprise "Take control of a city under my protection?"

Naruto, Esdeath and Natsumi all looked at the two Maou like they had lost their minds.

"Make no mistake. Our intentions are not hostile" Sirzechs said, used to running damage control for Serafall when she decided to get mischievous "We would like to…purchase, shall we say. The city in question"

"You would like to…. purchase, a city in Japan?" Yasaka asked in a perfect formal tone.

"Purchase, trade for. Things along that nature. Though if we do gain a claim to the city. I believe that at the very least, a ceasefire agreement between our species would also be preferred to add onto the transaction" Serafall said professionally, turning into the tactical businesswoman that the other three Maou knew her to be, at times.

"A two-fold agreement then? You would like a city and an official ceasefire? What could you possibly offer that would make that a worthwhile deal?" Yasaka asked as she straightened her back, no longer highlighting her physical features as she became fully serious.

"The ceasefire agreement is a perfectly reasonable request I believe. Both of our factions are weakened after significant… losses, to both sides." Serafall ignored the chilling glare Yasaka sent towards the two.

"Yes, speaking of those losses, why should I agree to do anything with you? When you slayed an entire sub-species of our race for the actions of one?" She asked in concealed anger.

"Yasaka-dono, I would personally like to apologize for the catastrophe of the Nekoshou massacre. Many of my people lost themselves in their anger and for that I apologize for-" Sirzechs began before he was cut off by the Kyuubi no Kitsune.

"Do not start Lucifer. I know that the massacre was not an unsanctioned action. Do not take me for a fool if you wish this interaction to continue peacefully in any sort of matter" She said frostily.

The two Maou nodded while the three teens were suddenly reminded of their first meeting with Odin thanks to the magical pressure of Yasaka.

"Of course, Yasaka-dono" Sirzechs submitted before letting Serafall take reign of the conversation again.

"As I stated earlier, an official Ceasefire, or potentially alliance, could be beneficial for both sides. And Sirzechs and I would like to inquire about gaining control of the city of Kuoh" She said while pulling out a map and gesturing to it, showing the location of Kuoh in case Yasaka didn't know off by heart where it was.

"There is nothing particularly interesting or appealing about that city. Why do you want it? You would gain nothing other than a foothold in Japan by having it" She pointed out diplomatically while staring at the two.

"Both of our sisters have expressed interest in the human world, my sister in particular has inquired about starting a school in the Underworld. Therefore, I want to give her an experience in a human school so that she knows what to expect" Serafall said.

Yasaka hummed and turned her golden eyes to Sirzechs, moving her upper body as she did so, drawing Naruto's eyes to her chest. Natsumi almost immediately noticing and covering his eyes with her arms under the pretence of affectionately hugging his head. The teen King slumping in her grip and lightly patting her arm as she continued to block his vision.

"And you, Lucifer-dono?"

"My sister has a fascination with Japan and everything about it, being able to go to a human school in Japan would be a dream come true for her. And I'll be sending my brother there as well so that he has experience with those from other factions" Sirzechs said calmly.

At the mention of Naruto being sent to school the teen quickly, but carefully, threw Natsumi's arms off his head and glared at Sirzechs.

"I'm sorry, and I wasn't informed of this, why?" He asked angrily, all the attention in the room turning to him.

"It was meant to be a surprise. Why are you angry?" Sirzechs asked curiously.

"I don't need or want to go to a human school! I could pass the moment I stepped through the doors!" He said heatedly, his purple eyes glaring into his brother's blue-green eyes.

"It isn't about that. It's about the social interactions. You and Rias-tan can make up!" He said happily.

"Make up? With her? I'm sorry, do you even understand that she would sooner use her precious Power of Destruction on me then even be friends with me!" He said, his voice raising into a yell.

"Things aren't that bad" Sirzechs said, trying to calm Naruto down and diffuse the situation "I'm sure if you tried, everything would work out just fine"

"Maybe for you. If you haven't noticed, I'm sort of the punching bag of the Gremory family. Things don't exactly 'go my way'" Naruto said, taking a breath to try and calm down as he felt his fingers beginning to twitch in anger.

"The Gremory family punching bag? What do you mean by that? We don't treat you like a punching bag" Sirzechs asked while looking at his younger brother in confusion.

Yasaka meanwhile watched in fascination, allowing the scene to play out. Obviously, the Lucifer Maou was not the greatest of older siblings, at least for his brother. Either that, or his younger sibling was extremely spoilt and complaining over something small that really had no reason to be complained over.

"What do I mean? WHAT DO I MEAN!? I mean how the great and all-powerful Rias unlocked the Power of Destruction and I was instantly left in the dust! I'm talking about how I did what I had to survive Ken and my mother and sister instantly began treating me like a criminal, and you and dad avoid me like the bubonic plague! I'm talking about how I finally, FINALLY, stood up for myself to that arrogant, no-good, fuckwit Raiser! And what do I get?! A scolding? A fine for property damage? Even a minor temporary punishment?" Naruto at this point was huffing from the amount of air he was using to yell, now just allowing all of his bottled-up anger to pour out "NO! I get banished from my family IN ALL BUT NAME! So, FUCK YOU! FUCK GOING TO A STUPID HUMAN SCHOOL! And I hope that dear Rias-tan enjoys the favouritism!" With that said the teen barged out of the room, Natsumi and Esdeath hot on his heels, after sending Sirzechs heated glares.

The room was silent as Sirzechs sunk lower into his chair and silently sighed deeply, the guilt and regret for all his past interactions with Naruto suddenly rearing all of its ugly head once again. Serafall looked sympathetically at Sirzechs while he once again tried to regain his composure and continue the meeting.

Meanwhile Yasaka internally smirked, mentally noting down things that Naruto had said in his angry rant. Finding it extremely amusing and interesting that the famous Gremory family and strongest Maou would treat a member of their own family like they did. She mentally began listing ways she could possibly use this information to gain an edge in these negotiations. It was unlikely that she would even be able to use what she gained, but she still prepared regardless.

'Better safe than sorry' She thought to herself before speaking once again.

Naruto stomped angrily through the halls of Yasaka's mansion and into the garden, Natsumi and Esdeath following after him. Esdeath not speaking and only watching for any potential threats, believing that this anger was something that he should naturally expend and work through. Natsumi on the other hand was trying her hardest to calm him down before he accidentally destroyed something or got in trouble, her attempts gaining little headway in the flood of anger that was now Naruto.

"I can't believe that smug little bastard!" Naruto said angrily while stomping through the garden, not having any particular destination in mind.

"I do hope that you aren't talking about me~" A jovial, deep voice said from their left.

Esdeath was instantly between the elderly male Nekomata and Naruto, her body crouched, and hand tightly wrapped around the hilt of her sword. Naruto meanwhile turned to him while glaring.

The man in question stood at about 5'6 and had greying hair and fur. His smooth and flat hair in a ponytail. The man wore light grey samurai clothing.

"Whoo boy! I haven't seen a Devil- You can stop with the combat stance, I'm not gonna hurt ya'- that full of anger in decades!" The man said, stopping in the middle of his exclamation to address Esdeath briefly.

Esdeath slowly slid out of her combat stance as Naruto growled.

"And why do you care? I thought that Youkai hated us?" He asked angrily.

"I don't particularly enjoy seeing people, especially youngin's such as yourself, that deep in anger. I know a few tricks to calm down, want ta try them? ~" The Nekomata asked while hopping up and crossing his legs, landing on the soft grass with a sly grin.

"I don't have time for this" Naruto scoffed while turning around.

"And why not? Ya looked like ya were stomping around pretty aimlessly to me. Come on! Throw this old man a bone?" He asked with a wide grin.

Naruto groaned and turned back around before plopping down on the grass, Natsumi and Esdeath kneeling besides him as they stared between the two curiously.

"You lassies are fine to join in if ya'd like?" Both gently shook their heads negatively "Suit yourself. Let's start with some simple meditation, sit like I am"

Naruto groaned in annoyance and copied the mans cross-legged stance, somewhat clumsily and off centre due to not quite having the needed flexibility to do it to the same extent as the old Nekomata.

"Now place your hands together like this" Naruto rolled his eyes and did so "Now boy-o! Close ya eyes and try to clear ya mind. Think of a white void" The old man instructed.

Naruto grumbled under his breath and did so, trying the clear out the jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions to successfully think of a perfectly void, white plain. After a few minutes of clearing his thoughts he felt himself beginning to calm down while imagining the white void.

Inside his mindscape a mental copy of himself was going through his thoughts and trying to clear them from his immediate thought process. Already feeling calmer as he flicked away thought after thought. Suddenly the white plain around him glitched out, causing Naruto to look around wildly as the once white void began to turn into a lush forest without him doing a single thing.

Spinning around once more, Naruto felt his mental body freeze in shock as he was met face to face with a shapeless cloud of black smoke with two glowing red patches, what he assumed was its eyes.

"Hello again….my dear Sage~"

AAAAAAAnd I'm done!

Finally! It's currently 10:30 pm when I'm writing this.

So, how'd you guys enjoy this chapter? Moving to a new place, Serafall has a secret! And a nice little confrontation between Naruto and his older bro.

Also. THE VOICE OF EVIL DOOM AND RANDOM POWER-UPS RETURNS!

(I'll love to see the guesses to what it is once again XD)

I'm very sorry for the delay (Hopefully it isn't delayed too much by my beta-readers and last second edits), I went through a slight Factorio addiction. Which if any of you have played or seen someone play the game, know that, that game is a ridiculous time eater. Then a friend re-introduced me to MHW (Monster Hunter World) …. yeah, not much needs to be said there. And now, in between a slight break in my MHW addiction I've been writing this so that I can try and finish it before Friday, which is when Spider-Man PS4 is coming out. Which will once again kill all the free time I have.

Also, I would like to apologize for the A/N update, which should hopefully be gone by the time I post this chap. Speaking of which, Jesus Christ. I've actually had people drop the story because it updated when I deleted the A/N chap. You guys are just full of anger, aren't ya?

Anyway, this chaps question(s):

To those who play MHW, What's the best weapon type and monster in the game? And why?

ANYWHO!

Adios!
