Rias smirked.
'Time to Bait Riser into challenging me early to the Rating Game... there is his familiar, so he really does spy on me... well joke is on him.' Rias saw his Phoenix familiar in the area, and she knew that Riser was watching her and her peerage training with it's eyes. Riser pretended like he had everything in the bag, but thanks to Naruto's crystal ball technique he showed her, now she knew for a fact that he had been spying on her.
"Why do I have to do this?"
"Because, you have more combat experience than all of us combined... so if we can beat you when you're taking us seriously, then we can really improve." Rias explained why she was having everyone fight Naruto at the same time. "Also... this would be a great chance to see your Sacred Gear... you still haven't told us what it is yet." Rias really wanted to taunt Riser, and bait him with that knowledge.
Naruto scratched the back of his neck.
"... well duh, and I'm never going to tell you what it is or does... thankfully, I think I've gained enough experience with it... I think I can push it to it's next level if I really want to." Naruto looked and saw everyone but Asia were all ready to fight him. Naruto took out a black marker and put a mark on his forehead, just a target. "... since I can't die, come at me with enough force to kill... use whatever method you have to hit by forehead with enough force to kill a man." Naruto gestured to his forehead.
"Next level... Balance Breaker..."
"So that is what you call it... anyway... everyone come at me at the same time. It doesn't really matter, since I'm going to be training my Sacred Gear a little more, none of you could beat me if you tried." Naruto taunted everyone mildly.
That worked.
He saw a vein bulge on Koneko's forehead, while Yuuto's hand went to his sword, both of them were ready to go for the kill thanks to the knowledge he couldn't die. Akeno had her magic charged up and ready to fire. Issei summoned his Boosted Gear... and even Rias got ready to train as she summoned her Power of Destruction around her hands.
It started.
Yuuto coughed up blood and fell to his knees in pain, his sword shattered in his hand as soon as he drew it for the fight.
"Gah!?" Akeno shouted in pain, all of her fingers bent backwards and broken, preventing her from properly using her magic. The magic she had gathered went to waste as she took to her knees, forcefully bending her fingers back into place.
Issei had three holes the size of Naruto's fingers in his gut, and he lost control over his own Sacred Gear.
Koneko was hog tied on the ground.
Finally, Rias was upside down, standing on her head, before she slipped and hit her head on the ground. She had no clue how she was in that position, and she looked at Naruto who was standing right where he had been.
"I'll heal-" Asia started, before Naruto appeared behind her and kicked the back of her head. She collapsed to the ground, and by the time everyone looked at Asia, they just saw her on the ground, and Naruto was standing back at the starting point.
"Nope... everyone's injuries are minor... Issei's holes are only half an inch deep... he will be fine. How about this..." Naruto saw Koneko break out of the robes binding her. Akeno snapped her fingers back into place, and overall everyone was able to recover enough to fight. Naruto raised his fingers up. "... bonus points if you can hit my forehead... but since none of you can do that... I'll consider it your guys win if you stop me from walking 50 feet that way... stop me from walking." Naruto pointed to a tree.
He was going to touch that tree.
Naruto started to walk towards the tree very slowly.
"Fine, lets see-" Yuuto summoned his sword, before it shattered and he was sent flying. He landed on his back, gasping for air. He looked and saw Akeno was holding her fingers in pain again, staring down at her broken digits with a twitching eye.
"Stop... breaking... my... fingers."
"Nope... still walking."
"... When... how... HOW!?" Koneko asked when she was tied to a tree, upside down with her skirt flipped. She didn't even know when or how she had been tied up. She broke the robes surrounding her, before she picked up the tree, ripping it out of the ground. She lifted it above her head.
Both of her arms were at her side the next second, and she didn't remember lowering them. The tree didn't hover though, the tree she was holding above her head crashed into her skull and knocked her face into the ground. She was face down, ass up, in that very instant by the unexpected weight of a tree hitting her.
Rias collapsed to her knees and held her broken nose.
"MY DICK!"
"Heheheh." Naruto saw Issei collapse to his knees and hold his balls with his hands, tears in his eyes. Naruto slowed down his walking speed by over half of what it was, to give everyone enough time to get up and get back into position.
His Sacred Gear.
Forbidden Balor View, it allowed him to stop time on whatever he looked at... but that wasn't limited to JUST the eyes in his human form. He could use his Sacred Gear through the eyes of anything he transformed into... and by transforming parts of his body into a ton of microscopic bugs, he could pretty much stop time all across a large area without needing to actually look at it. By forming a perimeter with the insects, he could stop time on everything inside of the area and outside of it within visual distance of the insects.
Whenever something released any killing intent, time would stop.
Whenever something got too close, the bugs would stop time.
"Come on guys... here, I'll go slower... 1 step every few minutes should be slow enough for you all to catch up to me... maybe I should make the challenge easier on you... all you need to do is get within 10 feet of me... 20 feet... get within 20 feet of me and you win." Naruto told them all as he slowed down his walking pace even more. He moved in mockingly slow motion, making super exaggerated steps.
-30 Minutes Later-
"... How is... how is he doing that?" Riser asked as he looked at whatever the hell was happening through the eyes of his familiar.
What the hell was happening.
He rubbed his eyes in pain, because one second his familiar would be looking at everything normally, and then it would suddenly glitch out and everything would stand perfectly still for awhile, before there was a sudden horrible correction. His eyes were hurting, but he had to watch to try and figure out what the hell was happening.
It was Rias' bishop.
Something he was doing was causing some kind of delay between what his familiar saw and what he saw, like reality was glitching out.
"Well?" Ravel asked her brother with a raised eyebrow. "... are you going to give up... you can't beat him." Ravel stated, since she could guess what her brother was looking at.
Riser scroffed.
"He is a low-class, recently reincarnated devil... you think Riser would lose against him... we are immortal, no injuries can kill us... he lied to you about being able to kill us...and you tell me that he killed you 4 times... and yet you still live?" Riser stated to his sister.
She told him.
She told him that Naruto had showed her that he could kill her 4 times in different ways that could get around their immortality, but such a thing was possible. Ravel had been telling him, warning him, that if he challenged the bishop then he would lose in a humiliating fashion. If he went at the boy with any idea that he could rely on his immortality, it would take seconds for him to lose.
"... I'm not joking."
"Riser understands that... and must admit... the boy is certainly strong. He is treating Rias and her peerage like they are children... with that talent he could rise through the ranks quickly... Riser must admit... nobody in his peerage could defeat the boy." Riser gave credit where it was due. He didn't think any member of his peerage could defeat Naruto, even he couldn't figure out what his Sacred Gear did. It was annoying that Naruto wasn't telling Rias was it did, and thus he wasn't telling him what it did. "You are still young... guillable... many people think they can beat our immortality."
"Angels and Fallen Angels can kill us pretty easily with Light weapons."
"... but that doesn't count, since we have a weakness to that... no devil could kill us, making-"
"Ultimate-class Devils have enough raw power to kill us."
"... and they are so rare to come across." Riser was forced to admit there were a list of people who could easily blow them away with one hit. He looked at Ravel, and he frowned at her. "... Ravel, dear little sister... do you tell Riser, that you have no faith in our blood?"
"No... I don't."
"Why not?"
"Because, Naruto showed him that he could kill me using techniques that cost so little demonic power, even children have the power to do them... you should just give up on Rias, as long as she has Naruto, you can't win... you're going to bring shame on the family, and everyone in the Underworld will see how easy we can be killed... you should surrender now." Ravel deadpanned, since this was the best outcome for their family. Riser should just surrender his marriage to Rias, and save face later.
Riser seemed annoyed with her.
"Easily... easily..."
"Yes, easily. Unless you want to bring SHAME to our family, you shouldn't even try to beat him, not with your attitude and arrogance. I tasted death 4 times because of him thanks to my arrogance, and you are more arrogant than I was. Our family is among the highest of high classes because of our riches and immortality, and the respect those command... take away immortality, and people will lose respect for us... we will start losing every Rating Game... if you value our families pride at all, you will bite the bullet and surrender." Ravel snapped at her brother when he started to show annoyance towards her.
Couldn't he see she was trying to protect their family legacy!?
She didn't want them to start to lose EVERY Rating Game in the future that they all participated in, making them a family of losers. They were lucky that their species enjoyed flashy battles so much, that nobody ever seemed to take a moment and try to think of a way to get around their immortality. Their species as a whole valued the entertainment value of huge battles, and overlooked the way of thinking that assassins and trained killers would think.
"That won't happen... anyway... to think Rias got herself the Boosted Gear... I should speed up the engagement. It wouldn't do to let the user of the Boosted Gear gain too much strength... along with the Uzumaki boy. The sooner the better, best not give them time to reach their potential." Riser would hate if he gave them a few years, and they reached strength equal to ultimate-ranks, which he could not compete against. The rest of Rias' peerage were barely worth noting to him, but the ones with abilities he didn't know and those who had potential, he needed to get married to Rias before then.
If they reached their potential before he took over, then he wouldn't be able to beat Rias and win her hand in marriage.
It was strategy.
Once he was no longer in danger of them ruining his marriage, he could not care less if they surpassed him in strength. He would happily welcome their growth in strength, since that growth would look good for him. He would be seen as the man who trained them, and supported them, so their fame would become his fame.
"It is a shame the others in her peerage seem to lack any motivation... the filthy fallen angel woman, the dirty blooded nekoshou girl, and a weakling swordsman... finally a speedy healer... the rest of her peerage are so disappointing." Riser sighed and gripped the bridge of his nose.
He couldn't even risk adding them to his harem, because Akeno was a dirty blooded fallen angel, and he would never get caught dead sleeping with somebody from that foul species. Then there was the nekoshou child, and how could he possibly ever lower himself by sleeping with somebody who was related to the damned Kuroka. Cat girls were amazing, but not cat girls who had the same blood as a horrible criminal in their veins.
The Nun and Swordsman were just disappointing in general, not worth his time.
"Brother."
"Yes, once I gain Rias' hand in marriage, I'll make sure the Boosted Gear boy and the Uzumaki boy grow to such heights, they bring our family even more fame... the rest are trash." Rias dismissed them. "I still can't believe that Rias would add them to her harem."
"Harem."
"... I meant peerage." Riser corrected himself nervously when he saw his sister was raising her eyebrow at him, showing that she was getting highly suspicious of his tongue slip. "We both know I'm not into incest... but every harem needs a little sister in it to be complete..."
"... Harem."
"Ah... I don't have any intention of sleeping with you, none at all. You are my precious little sister... so there is nothing wrong with you being in my harem, as long as we don't do anything lewd to each other." Riser was getting himself deeper into a hole.
Ravel's temper flared high.
She then sighed.
"... Screw it... get your pride destroyed for all I care." Ravel stormed off, deciding that it was a lost cause to get her brother to give up. She had been humbled by her experience with near-death multiple times, and she wanted to save her brother from experiencing the same thing. "Maybe this experience will be good for you."
She was going to enjoy this.
