Yo people. I wanted to have this out 3 or 4 days ago but I got distracted a lot from catching up on work to getting back into reading manga again after not actively doing that for around 2 years now for anything that wasn't tokyo ghoul or Naruto. Also read my first Manwha. Anyway this story part 2 finally got over 300 reviews. Last chapter didn't get 30 reviews but at least it got more than most of the other chapters. Either way though this chapter was gonna be a long one regardless of how long I took. I typed most of it in the past 2 days though. The funny thing is the work I had to do I ended up doing it the morning of the day it was due. Thats around 5 different papers each being around 2 pages. Anyway here you go.
Chapter 13: Rough Reception Party
*Crrsh!*
A heavy rumble could be heard as a sizable portion of the flatland had just been remodeled. A massive 100 meter wide crater had just been created leaving a plume of dust in the air and right outside the edge of the crater was Tsunami who fell back on her butt. Her dress had tears all over it, her hair was a mess, her body was roughed up, and her overall disposition looked like that of a frightened animal. She shivered, fear clearly present in her wide eyes as she looked towards the center of the crater.
"This is insane!""
As the dust cleared Koa could be seen lying on her stomach pressed into the center of the impact zone. She was in a similar state to Tsunami except she looked to have taken a bit more damage than her sister. She groaned in pain as it felt like a bomb just went off above her and her senses felt shellshocked.
A silhouette of a humanoid creature of some sort could be seen above her before its form shimmered until it morphed into the more familiar appearance of one Naruto. Or at least a form of Naruto.
He cracked his fingers before he glanced down at Koa and grinned.
"I'd say this past month has been very productive. What do you think Koa-chan~?"
He received whimpers when he asked that question much to his obvious amusement.
"I don't want to train with you anymore..."
"Yeah maybe I overdid the training. It only took 12 days to get to where I wanted to be. After that was mainly experimenting on my part." 'Now that I think about it the pain I put myself through for the first 12 days seems unnecessary now...'
"Can you get off of me!" Koa's eye twitched as she looked back and shouted at him. He had been sitting on her back the whole time. She cowed instantly as the intimidating look he gave her made her wary again. His grin went sharklike as it bore down on her.
"Are you actually so weak right now you can't push me off of you? The Great Landscaping Behemoth Dragon Groudon? Maybe I should take advantage of this moment?" He reached down with one hand and grabbed her around her neck while stroking her jawline with his thumb. She blushed from the contact before she realized what a compromising position she was in right now. Her body was currently stunned so she could hardly move and Naruto was on her back clearly having impure thoughts about her right now. If he choose to have her that was one thing but sexually entertaining him in her weakened state was not an adventure she was keen on taking right now. Especially if the rumors were true...
Naruto blinked when he sat on the ground as Koa vanished from under him in a flash of light.
"... Did she just return to her realm?"
He stood up dusting himself off before holding out his hand. There was a flash of light before they heard a yelp as Koa was held off the ground by Naruto with one hand around her neck. It wasn't choking her but wasn't letting her escape either.
"Running back home won't save you Koa-chan. If I need to then I will just follow you there."
She squirmed and sweated a little in his grip as she whined. Pride of a Legendary-Class Pokemon be damned she cried like a little girl. "Na-Naruto-sama please give me a break. I'll do whatever you want."
Naruto grinned slyly before leaning in close to her face so that they could feel each other's breath. "You will do whatever I want regardless Koa-chan."
He dropped her to fall onto the ground as he turned around on his foot and walked off. She looked at his back confused as he walked away. "Don't worry Koa-chan we are done for today so you are free to do whatever you want. Thanks for sticking to this month long training session."
As he retreated she let out a breath before she blushed and looked down at the ground as she realized had realized she had gotten a little wet. Good thing her knees had been closed or he might have noticed it.
'Wait his nose is like ours. He probably smelled it and didn't say anything...' She grumbled as she knew he wouldn't forget that anytime soon. He has already made it clear that he enjoys targeting weakness. After a few moments of silences as she calmed herself she suddenly jumped when she heard a voice to the side of her.
"Naruto-sama's growth is full of surprises isn't it Koa?"
"Yeah but then he is our master afterall... Wait..." Koa looked up to the left of her and saw the Absol standing their looking at Naruto's retreating back. "Yami!? I could have used your help here!"
"My use is in Naruto-sama's hands as his tool and weapon."
Koa eyed her with a raised brow suspiciously. "Bullshit I can tell when you're lying! You were too much of a chicken to do anything weren't you!?"
The white and black haired beauty looked away from Koa as she sweated and her voice broke. "A-A wise warrior knows knows when not to fight a losing battle."
"You sacrificed me!"
"Hmm it's been 3 weeks since neither I nor Tama-chan have seen Naruto-kun. I hope his training went okay." Rias put a finger to her chin in thought as she walked off to the yard behind her house. And by yard she mean grassland, it was really too big to be a normal sized backyard as it was several times bigger than the house itself and had a scatter of trees. This was the day her whole peerage had returned from their training along with her friends. Naruto didn't want her to train because of her pregnancy but she still managed to do a little bit. She couldn't do any serious physical training but she was still able to do a few complex magic exercises.
She approached her group of peers and gave them all a warm smile as she looked them all over. They all felt much stronger to her. Little Selli looked a bit more confident and controlled without Naruto's blood. Koneko actually gave off a light powerful aura that reminded her of Naruto and could actually be compared to that of mid to high class devils. The way she carried herself too was more at ease and confident like that of her lover as well. She giggled to herself as seeing Koneko follow after Naruto was like watching a kitten imitate a wolf. It got results though.
She gave a sweatdrop when she looked over at Kiba. He seemed to get a sizeable increase in power similar to Koneko and seemed slightly more emotionless than the constant happy disposition he had in the past. He still smiled around his friends though which means Tama hadn't broken him too far. She noticed that Kiba also had a scar on his left cheek and neck that looked to be caused by a blade of some sort but what wound that small would leave a scar on a devil's face? She rose an eyebrow suspiciously as her eyes shifted to Tama. The girl though kept to her odd image and sat against a tree holding her egg to her chest. She wondered how long it would be till that thing hatched, she was just as curious as anyone else. Rias knew Naruto had not wanted Tama to train but he didn't really try to stop her either as unlike Rias Tama wasn't caring a child inside of her so she didn't need to worry about physical exertion. She knew that Tama likely did some kind of training but she couldn't sense any increase in her power.
Xenovia looked calm as usual but she seemed to walk with a little more grace than she did before which was really what that heavy hitting rook needed. Asia had increased her magical reserves and control and no doubt increased her skill over her sacred gear which Rias had been expecting. Rias then looked over at her queen and hid her surprise as she didn't feel much improvement coming from Akeno at all.
Her eyes then moved over to Issei and her eyes widened when she noticed Issei felt and looked a lot stronger than before... still acted like an idiot though.
She knew that Shio and Miso were really only working on their control and trump cards. Raynare felt a few steps stronger to her which surprised her since Fallen Angels aren't known to increase in strength fast but she didn't know what the reason for Raynare's power increase could be.
Then her eyes went over to Tayuya who locked eyes with her and simply shrugged at Rias. She couldn't feel a lot of power increase coming from the succubus but according to Naruto the girl was already really strong to begin with so Rias had a feeling she trained in some kind of way.
"Happy to see you all have finished your training. I look forward to seeing the fruits of it." The others looked excited to see how they performed in real combat hoping that all the training they went through did indeed yield satisfactory results. Rias huffed as she looked around for a few moments confused at not seeing her special person.
"Anyone know where Naruto-kun is?"
Tama rose up her finger and pointed right to the side of Rias blankly not too surprised at all. "Right behind you." Everyone of Rias's peerage suddenly went alert as Rias's eyes widened. She felt like there was a giant pillar looming behind her. Her group suddenly backed off away from the figure as Issei exclaimed.
"Holy...!" Rias had been standing in the center of them and somehow this person got through all of them. Rias looked back and was met with the characteristic grin she had come to love. She smiled warmly at the figure as she calmed quickly.
"Well hello there Naruto-kun." It had been about 3 weeks since she had seen him and she missed him a lot and it had nothing to do with her mood swings making her act like a crybaby...
Naruto grinned at her his fangs shining as the rest of his face was shadowed by the hood on his head. He was wearing a grey hoody with black sleeves and grey baggy pants. He had on a white long sleeve shirt underneath it and had an orange sash tied around his waist to blow in the wind.
"The best should arrive last eh Ri-chan?" He took off his hood and the girls blushed as he somehow looked better than before. His fangs jutted out his mouth as usual but now they seemed more noticeable. His whisker marks were bolder making him look even more wild but that wasn't the main change. His hair had full on change color and gotten longer. His previously golden locks of hair that occasionally changed color to fit his transformations was now light grey, silver even and was almost shoulder length yet his hair spikes mostly kept their stubbornness as they flared out wildly in his trademark way. Because of the length of his hair now it seemed to perpetually cast a shadow over his eyes. Sitting on his head was two black wolf ears and a pair of long black horns. He was now at home with his demon wolf state. His body had also grown a bit as his muscles had developed even more than they already had and bulked up a bit though they couldn't see it right now and he seemed a little taller.
"I guess your training went well then?" 'He doesn't feel much stronger than he usually did and yet why does his presence feel so heavy then?'
"Oh it went better than you could imagine. Had to merge two of my persona's permanently and revise the other parts of me. Increased my level of control an enormous amount though. This appearance is the side effect."
"Well it's not a bad side effect... Can you show me a bit of your progress or is it a secret?"
Naruto cracked his neck as he looked around at her peerage. "Sure why not I've got a lot to show. In fact why don't all of your peer age come at me showing me a little of what they got?" The others looked a little nervous at the as something was telling them to not try it but they couldn't help themselves.
"That sounds like a great idea! Well then you guys can attack whenever. Koneko-chan why don't you start things off?"
Koneko obeyed as the others backed off more to give them their space. She cracked her knuckles as Naruto looked down on her blankly as the nekosho did the same thing.
"Sup Senpai."
"Sup Neko-chan."
Koneko stood with her fists at her side breathing calm as she closed her eyes. Naruto all watched her with rapt attention wondering how she would attack. She stood there for a good moment and right when Naruto was gonna ask if something was wrong there was a flicker in the air and the next moment Koneko blinked in front of him crotched sideways with one arm behind her. Naruto and the other's eyes widened at the sudden movement. She used his dropped guard and her built up momentum to her advantage as she turned into him and launched her fist, twisting it right before it impacted on his stomach.
*Pa*
The punch connected true and hard as a small gust of air pressure went out from the shear power of it. It was her turn to gain a look of surprise as Naruto didn't budge an inch. The ground cracked around them and she hit his abs hard enough that an echo was made and yet it felt like she punched at solid steel beam.
"Not bad Neko-chan. I see one of the twins must have helped you practice that trick."
Off on the sidelines the rest were still floundered at what Koneko just did. Not the punch but rather the movement. Issei turned quickly to Kiba who had his eyes narrowed as he looked critically over at the young girl.
"I don't get it? How did Koneko get so fast... so fast? She looked as fast as you!"
"No she shouldn't be as fast as me. Even with Naruto or whoever training her, as a rook her speed shouldn't have increased that fast. That wasn't all speed that she just used but something else..."
"Shishishi..." They turned their heads in the direction of the snicker to see Shio looking boastful as she crossed her arms as Miso who was standing right next to her sister glanced over at her amused. "Looks like my teachings paid off. It's a bit of speed as you do need to have a certain amount of speed depending on the enemy for it to work and works better if the target doesn't know how fast you are so it's great for surprise attacks and landing the first blows. I have to say Onii-chan probably created it first as I remember him using it as a kid to avoid people or to deal with danger... Anyway the basis of it is called misdirection and involves using low presence to get by someone's senses and guard. It's a lot easier to do to animals and humans but since Koneko-chan is neither of those it had to be worked at a little different which is where oniisama's notes that he left for Koneko-chan over the 1 month training came in handy. You use chakra to boost your speed a little more to make up for the gap that you may be lacking. Right when you move you drop your presence drastically to where it tricks the opponents mind into thinking you weren't even there. More effective if you are moving. How long it works on the opponent depends on your own speed and skill in ratio to how skilled and aware the opponent is. Clearly it can only be used at close range on oniisama and even then it only worked for like a second. It's part of the basis integrated into my non-telegraphed step or the Akipo as I call it now. Oniisama probably has his own variation of a speed technique too."
"Feeling kind of longwinded aren't you nee-chan?" Miso's voice made Shio stop to look around and notice everyone was staring at her. She blushed in embarassement before looking at the ground suddenly finding it more interesting to look at as she poked her fingers. Her voice came out quieter and more subdued as Miso pat her back sympathetically.
"W-Well I don't get to explain things too often." She was smart too damnit!
Back over at Koneko Naruto stood there looking over at Shio as if he had not just been dealt a blow in his midsection. He turned to look back down at Koneko and smiled.
"Well Shio-chan's secret revealing explanation aside great job on progressing so fast in that aspect. Nice punch too as I actually felt that but if you want it to actually effect me you'll have to try harder.' He mentally scratched his head as he knew he had done similar stuff to what Shio just said when he was human but the first time he did it was probably when he went unconscious and killed that bear.
"Fine then senpai." She brought back her other hand and she shot it at Naruto twisting her wrist and clenching her hand into a fist as she did. Naruto's eyes followed the limb and felt the space distorting and quickly moved to the side as it missed him. A second later cracks appeared in the air for a second accompanied with a low boom before it vanished. Naruto whistled in approval.
"Like thunder~." 'That would have caused internal damage.' Koneko didn't stop as she quickly moved to her next motion after the punch and spun while jumping up bring her hand up in a rising swipe at his face. Naruto jerked his head back making her hand miss before he smirked as 3 fine cuts appeared on his cheek where his whisker marks were. Even with her quick movement his eyes glanced to her arm and zeroed in on her hand as she had her back to him still finishing her rotation. He was able to see a very faint blue aura around her hand.
'I don't know how far she has developed it but that's chakra. He so when blunt force doesn't work she will try and cut through defenses now? Smart idea, for her.' He'd seen enough for him and so appeared infront of her startling her at the sudden obstruction in her view. She stopped moving when she felt a warm strong hand on her head. She looked up to see Naruto giving a warm smile that made her feel light inside.
"You've come along well in a short period of time." She gained a small smile at his words before she suddenly winced when the grip on her head exponentially increased. She thought she saw representations of both of them in her head at that moment. In the past she would describe the two of them as a wolf watching over a kitten. Now in her mind's eye she saw herself as a bigger feline but the wolf that used to represent Naruto had grown into something a lot more terrifying and intimidating. She couldn't even make out the features of it as it just looked like a massive shadow to her. "But I'm still your master Neko-chan"
*Crssh*
Naruto pushed her through the ground turning up rubble until only her head was sticking out as if it was as soft as mud. He casually turned back to the group.
"Next." He stepped back to avoid a vertical slash of a sword coming at him. Naruto was pleasantly surprised to see Kiba attack him. Kiba did a flurry of slashes at Naruto trying to cut him. Up, down, diagonal, horizontal, twist, thrust, Naruto danced around each strike swaying and turning his body with ease.
"Looks like this isn't good enough." Kiba spoke dryly while Naruto just looked bored. His hands had been in his pockets the whole time. Kiba's body blurred befroe Naruto had to quickly move his had back as Kiba had moved to his side and stabbed his sword at Naruto's eyes. It missed them by inches as the piece of metal went by across his line of sight obscuring his vision. All in that short moment Naruto saw his reflection in the sword and saw Kiba moving his other arm behind Naruto.
"Cross cut!"
Naruto ducked instantly as he lost a few strands of hair as another sword came at him from behind and almost cut his head in half with the help of the other sword like a giant pair of scissors.
"Whew going for the kill? Tama definitely trained you."
Kiba blurred and long slices went by Naruto back and forth in rapid succession as Naruto danced out of the way of them going from side to side as Kiba kept dashing by him with his dual wielding swords out. Kiba ran back at Naruto one more time as he changed his hold on his swords into a reverse grip and spun rapidly. He was like a top as he became a twister. Naruto leaned to the side as Kiba went right be him again. Right when Kiba was at the side he stopped his traveling to spin in place and moved towards Naruto while pivoting on his feet so that his spin started to tilt around making it harder for Naruto to doge. But Naruto still did it with ease as it was like his feet were gliding over the ground as he kept going around Kiba dodging the blades. It started to irritate Kiba how it was like Naruto was literally sliding backwards on the ground.
While still spinning he jumped forward and flipped making the blades go everyone as it became an explosion of slashes.
"Yūganashi - Graceful Death!"
Naruto's grin widened as the rain of cuts came down at him. The grounds were actually torn up by the air pressure from each slash. Naruto's hands turned black with a glowing white outline as he swiped at the multitude of slashes deflecting them.
"Ure?" He blinked as a slash appeared on his cheek as Kiba flipped down to land in front of him in a crouch that he now had a sword held in his mouth. All three of his swords where his balance breaker and because of it Naruto felt like he was burning a little on the inside.
"First blood is mine senpai! Godspeed!" Naruto didn't even move before Kiba blinked out of sight and appeared behind him will all 3 swords aimed to pierce through his back. As Kiba was about to reach him he saw his death flash in his mind when he saw a glimpse of Naruto's face look back at him despite how fast he was going and how little time had transitioned. Right when it was inches from his back Naruto spun around faster than they could blink kicking the swords away in a split second before spinning a second time before Kiba could even register his swords had been broken and kicking him in the torso with such force that Kiba flew away instantly. The others' jaws dropped as Kiba was kicked through the second floor of Rias's mansion and still flew out of the top of the building. The young knight was unconscious before he even hit the wall of the mansion. Screams from the maids could be heard because of the sudden damage.
Rias held her mouth before glaring at Naruto. "Naruto-kun! I thought you trained to control yourself!"
"I did but I trained so far that I actually lose control sometimes out of excitement. You could say I've gotten too strong. He survived training with Tama-chan though so he should still be alive."
Just for that split moment that Kiba used godspeed Naruto's body reacted reflexively and took him seriously. Thus the attack was the result. Clearly he didn't need to take Kiba that seriously just yet.
"S-Should be?!"
Naruto straightened himself up before casually walking back to the group. "So who's next-?" "Dragon Shot!"
Naruto looked to the side at the shout as his pupils sharpened at the light source coming at him. A 5 meter wide beam of green energy was coming right at him digging a shallow trench in the ground showing it's power.
'Should I take the hit or dodge it and let it hit the mansion?' Naruto decided to go with the former and blocked the beam with his face as the projectile compacted into a sphere. Naruto had his mouth open as the power of the attack pushed him back and stung his upper body and face before his eyes whited out for a split second and he clenched his jaw biting down on the oversized magic ball and shattering it into nothing. Naruto's tongue lolled out as he exhaled grinning at Issei's shocked look.
"So you were boosting your power while I was fighting the others? Good but you didn't do it long enough. Thanks for the snack though!"
The boy's hand was still outstretched for his attack forgetting what he was doing.
"You ate my Dragon Shot?! I thought you needed to meet certain requirements to eat power?!"
"I do. I just lowered them. Wonders of training and all."
Issei wondered what Naruto had done but wasn't able to much long as Naruto disappeared and reappeared in front of him closing the space almost instantly. He still needed to learn not to drop his guard when he was that close to someone who was fast.
Naruto hid up to fingers before his arms went in a blur striking various parts of Issei's body. His arms, chest, and multiple other points on his body before finally striking his temple with lightning fast fingers. With that final strike Naruto stood to the side and ran his hand through his hair.
"I can sense you've gotten a lot stronger Issei. You've passed my evaluation. Now drop."
Issei felt his body to feel for any marks or wounds but felt none as he gained a look a confusion. He looked up to ask Naruto about what he did.
"Hey what the hell did you do-?" His words died in his through as at that moment Issei felt sharp blows in different precise points on his body as he skidded back from the force a few feet before. "Gak!" He coughed as his eyes bleared before he fell onto his nears and then on the ground unconscious.
"Artery block."
"Issei-kun!" Naruto turned his head to see Asia run past him to get to her classmate. She got down and activated her sacred gear and Naruto blinked when a second later Issei gasped for breath holding his chest as he sat up.
"Well you've gotten faster with your healing." Asia didn't even notice Naruto was next to her before he spoke. She turned to speak to him but when she did Naruto sharply moved the back of his wrist right under her chin before drawing it back in a blur. Asia blinked for a second before a wind blur her hair up and her eyes whited out as she fell over onto the ground unconscious. Naruto never actually touched her but rather used the air pressure created by his hand at her chin. The force of the action caused her body to become disoriented as her brain was bounced into the top of her skull. The result was painless unconsciousness.
"It's good that you've gotten to be a better medic but I hate when my prey is tampered with."
"Asia-chan! Naruto you bastard!" Issei shouted in outrage as he tried to get up so he could attack Naruto. He just looked boredly at Issei and the second he moved a muscle Naruto was already on him with a powerful stomp. Issei was driven back into unconsciousness as the stomp to his body pushed him into the ground and buried him under the upturned earth as spiderweb cracks went outwards.
"And prey should know when they should stay down. I said drop now drop into the ground"
He almost predicted Rias's outburst at his excessiveness.
"Naruto! Don't break my pieces!"
"What? Asia's fine I technically didn't even touch her. She might have a small headache but she'll be fine."
"I meant Issei Naruto." Naruto looked back at the boy to see nothing but rubble and Issei's arm sticking out of it twitching.
"Oh. Well I'm sure Asia will be more than happy to heal..." He looked at Asia to see her out of it on the ground with a dizzy expression in her eyes. "...Oh."
The others sweatdropped at how quickly he overlooked those two as if he forgot just that fast that he put them in that state. Naruto ignored the two second years as he turned on his feet and walked back to the group.
"Well anyway who wants to fight me now?" The others looked at each other unsure of themselves before Xenovia signed and walked forward.
"I guess I'm up then." Naruto smirked as she brought out her Durandal and ran at him. She was much slower than Kiba but still had good speed despite moving with such a big sword. She got in front of him and used her momentum to swing her sword increasing the force of bent his legs as he leaned back narrowly dodging the blade. Xenovia continued the momentum to spin back around before dragging the sword along the ground at Naruto. He jumped back to avoid her slash and right when she flicked the sword out of the ground to slash upwards a wave of forced traveled across the ground at Naruto creating a trench. Naruto's body was concealed by the wave as it kept traveling and hit the house destroying much of the side wall as it sent cracks up it before it fell apart.
Rias's face twitched as the others glanced over at her. She didn't want to see their results by having them destroy her home.
"Xenovia! Steer your attacks away from my mansion please!"
"My apologies bucchou I will make sure to take note of that from now on."
"Nice power behind your attack Xenovia I can see you have improved as well. But you need more power if you want to get to me." Xenovia gasped at hearing Naruto's voice behind her. She was sure she had hit him with her ranged sword attack but there he was unscathed.
She jumped forward to get away from him before turning back and charging her sword with magic as she swung back at him.
"Then lets see you take this then!"
*Clang*
She didnt even see him move as right when she swung the sword at him it was deflected and knocked up into the air out of her hands.
"Don't expect me to just take it." He stepped forward on the ground before she could defend herself and let out a localized electric pulse that shocked her muscles. Her body twitched as her limbs seized up and went numb. She looked down at her hands shakily to see them twitching with sparks arcing along them. When she looked back up a second later she saw Naruto gone and she felt a sharp blow to the back of her neck that made her stumble and fall over as her vision started to go out. Naruto walked away from her back and right before she fell unconcious the sword came back down from the sky still holding the magic she put into it and landed squarely on her head in a bright flash.
"Kyaa!"
The effect was instant as it cause an explosion and sent her trenching the ground into a tree smoking.
Naruto walked back in front of the remaining group and tilted his head curiously at them.
"Anyone else now?" No one stepped forward this time. With each person her fought it got more and more embarrassing as if he was enjoying this.
"Naruto-kun I think that's enough for now. My home has taken enough damage and I don't want you hurting my servants' pride anymore right now." She eyed him curiously at his performance. He didn't feel like he got much strong than his usual pace to her yet at the same time he felt much more dangerous. Like a handgun that now had much more ammo and armor piercing rounds.
He nodded to Rias as he yawned. "Fine, fine."
His eyes shifted around who was left before his eyes landed on Tama who was still sitting against the tree and their eyes locked. He saw her holding their egg and grinned. Tama saw the look and her eyes widened right when Naruto turned towards her before he vanished in a gust of speed. He appeared off to the side of where Tama was holding the egg as he nuzzled it.
"Aww I missed you!~" The others blinked as the looked over where Naruto was now and their eyes widened when they saw him. His left arm was holding the egg but his left hung limp as it had numerous black shards stabbing into it along with a few in his back. A split second later they saw Tama appear above him with murder in her eyes as she swung her nodaichi down on him. Instantly reacting Naruto turned around and his brush appeared in his hand before he held it up and blocked her blade in a shower of sparks.
"Wait Tama-chan I'm not doing anything just wanted to hold her!"
"Then do it normally next time."
He sweated as her eyes glowed ghostly down on him. He blocked her with one arm and held the egg in his wounded arm but he almost should have used both arms two hold her back as the forces of it turned up the ground around them.
'Note to self: It's still a bad idea to trigger Tama."
Naruto leaned against a beam with his hands in his pockets as he looked around at the gathered guests. He had his hood on and his headphones on under it so he wasn't noticed all too much. Funny thing about headphones was even though he had wolf ears he could just put his headphones on where they normally would be put if he had been human because with his extremely advanced senses he could still hear them perfectly along with the rest of his surroundings.
'Nice reception.' There were devils of all kinds there at the banquet socializing amongst themselves. Naruto noticed that a lot of them had pointed ears. He didn't feel much coming from the ones who did so he figured maybe that's what generic devils looked like. Looking at them now there really wasn't much of a difference between them and humans. Sure they were more dangerous but in comparison to what he was it really didn't matter much.
Naruto's own group was off doing their own things. Tama was up on top of the castle since she didn't want to be around these crowds with her egg which he could understand. He had Raynare watch her which might have been for the best anyway since Raynare wasn't too comfortable being around all these devils as a fallen angel. Selene was also up there with them since she had the whole social anxiety thing going on.
He push himself off the wall and walked though the room going past various groups of people like a ghost. Random devils that he went by shivered before looking around wondering what the strange presence they felt was. It's not that he was invisible but when someone like him stealths it causes odd side effects.
Akeno was standing off by herself as everyone enjoyed themselves. She was wearing a fine black kimono that fit her figure and just worked for her but the expression on her face was of someone who was deep in thought. She was so focused on her own thoughts that she lost her awareness on her surroundings.
"The traditional look really does look beautiful on you." She was broken out of her thoughts by the voice to see Naruto standing next to her. She quickly put up a smile as she turned to him.
"Oh hi Naruto-kun. Are you having a good time?"
"It's alright I guess. A little too sedated for me right now. If I'm going to be around crowds I'd rather there be action as well or else I see no point to it. But that's not important right now. What's wrong Akeno? I noticed earlier today that you didn't seem much stronger from the training trip like everyone else. You also don't seem as happy as you usually do. Did you hit a wall in your training? Or perhaps something else happened?"
"Azazel got my father to train me..." His eyebrow rose up at that as he new about about her past already.
"Baraqiel huh?" She nodded as she gained a dark look at the name being mentioned.
"Yes that man." The venom in her tone was not lost on him.
"You know if you want to talk about it I'm here to listen." She cheered up a bit at that as she gave him a more lighthearted smile.
"Aw that's sweet Naruto-kun. You really are a good guy." He glared at her upon hearing that.
"No I'm not Akeno."
"You act bad but you're a big softie aren't you?"
"Don't make me hurt you Akeno."
"Ufufu you're holding yourself back? How caring and considerate of you." He leaned in and she shivered as his eyes widened and he gained a crazed look. He tilted his head as she tried to hide her nervousness.
"I don't hold back much anymore Akeno-chan. So how well do you think you will hold up?"
He leaned back and chuckled as she wasn't able to give him a retort. "Glad to see you're back to your old self again."
She looked at him before she let out the breath she didn't know she had been holding. She smiled as she shook her head.
"Honestly Naruto-kun..." The two looked to see Rias walking up to them with a pout on her face. "Please ease back your lust a few notches while we are at this reception party. You are supposed to act similar to a security guard here remember?" He rubbed his head as he took off his headphones and sat them around his neck. He looked Rias over and was happy with what he saw as he mentally appraised her appearance. She had her hair up in a high ponytail similar to Akeno's and had on a pair of gold earrings with matching necklaces around her neck. She wore a long fine red and black dress that showed off her cleavage and shoulders along with wearing a pair of white gloves on her forearms. The dress was both sexy and elegant at the same time and he liked it. He could see that she was physically showing the signs of her pregnancy as she looked around 3 to 4 months pregnant by human standards. Most wouldn't even notice it though unless it was brought to their attention and those that did notice would likely write it off as Rias being slightly out of shape. Either way Naruto didn't think it made her look any less sexy.
"Oh right. I forgot about that."
"Hello Rias you look to be doing well." The three of them turned in the direction of the voice to see Sona with her vice president and Saji in tow.
"Welcome to the party Sona-chan. I hope your training trip went as well as ours did?"
"It's going alright I suppose." Saji walked forward as he looked around curiously.
"I already saw Issei but where is Naruto-senpai? I was expecting him to be nearby." Akeno and Rias giggled at him as he looked confused not noticing the person standing right behind him. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to look up into the eyes of a hooded figure. He jumped back startled as the person's eyes made him feel like he was in the crosshairs of a sniper.
"Holy!"
"You need to be more aware of your surroundings Saji." Saji had been on guard ready to fight but dropped his hands as he recognized the voice. Saji and the other two look at him in surprise at his new appearance.
"Naruto?! I didn't even notice you!"
Naruto sighed as Saji bragged about his training and then asked him a bunch of questions. Why couldn't he go to Issei. He would be a better person to make comparisons with than with him.
Sona eyed Naruto and his changes critically as she leaned over to Rias.
"What happened to him? He has this torrential presence about him and his features have changed a bit."
"Thats supposedly the form he keeps to now. You could say he's letting more of his juubi and demon nature take over."
Sona suddenly felt a chill go up her back before they heard a childish voice shout out to them.
"Hello everyone!" Sona froze instinctive at her sister's voice as Serafall came out from behind a group of people and ran towards them. Naruto noted that she was wearing the same green attire she wore at the summit. He supposed that that was the uniform she wore when at formal gatherings and meeting related to her position. He didn't mind it though as it worked for her.
She locked eyes with Naruto and jumped in front of him. "Hiya Naru-chan! Love the new look. You would fit the roll of villain or dark hero for my show even more now!"
"Why dark hero?"
"Because all the dark hero's in anime are cuties with grey or white hair and sometimes it's red. They are also have personality issues and a lot of angst."
Naruto's eye twitched at that explanation as Akeno giggled at him.
"I am not full of angst!"
"But you do have personality issues?"
"..." Naruto's silence accompanied by Rias and Akeno giggling in the background made her smile wider as she clapped her hands.
"See you're perfect for the job!"
Naruto leaned in close as his eyes sharpened bringing his forehead inches away from hers, his shadowed eyes looking very intimidating.
"And what do I get out of it?"
"Oh looks like you've grown a lot since I saw you Naru-kun. What did I saw about throwing your threatening aura at me?" Her own purple eyes sharpened returning her gaze at him. Rias gave an awkward smile as the two were firing off their killing intent at each other which really just hit the surrounding audience and the crowd they were forming instead, scaring people. It surprised Serafall that he wasn't affected at all by her killing intent. He didn't get scared but he could have at least responded defensively like he did in the past. Made her feel like she was losing her edge.
Naruto looked at her a second longer before backing off as he mumbled while looking to the side.
"Hmph Grayfia's a lot more fun to deal with than you." He mentally grinned as she saw Serafalls face twitch at that as if she had been triggered. 'Too easy.'
"I'm loads of fun! Magical girls are all about fun!"
"I don't know. Grayfia has the whole maid routine going on..."
"Magical girls are just as good as maids if not more so! How could a maid possibly be better!?" She grabbed his shirt and shook him around childishly while the rest sweatdropped at the sight and Sona felt more embarrassed than usual.
Naruto started to give off a pervert giggle that made the girls' eyes twitch as he thought about how maids were better than magical girls. His mind was very much so X-rated as he imagined various different scenarios of Grayfia "serving" him.
"Hehehe very much so better..." Serafall pouted as she let go of him before she got an idea of her own. She put a finger to her mouth as she looked at him cutely gaining his attention again.
"Naru-chan did you know that magical girls are good at getting captured? I wouldn't be a real magical girl if that didn't happen to me at least once. Would you like to help me with that Naru-chan~?" 'What kind of magical girls is she talking about!?'
Akeno and Rias got a bad feeling about what she just said. If she was asking for Naruto to do what they thought she was then Serafall was probably getting in over her head. Sona was now blushing at how inappropriate this had gotten. Before any of them could say anything there was a cracking noise before. Rias facepalmed as what she had been expecting just happened.
"Oh boy."
Serafall shivered as she held her body while Naruto stood over her leering down at her. She felt like she was about to be eaten and any wrong move would send him on her.
"To capture is to take control of someone or take them against their will. Are you asking me to take you against your will?~" He had an enlarged clawed hand over her head read to snatch her up as his aura started to show and she felt like she was being suffocated with lust alone. She didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing. She didn't know of Naruto's sexual tendencies so she had no idea that asking to be raped by him was far more intense than she would expect it to be. That's basically making your life forfeit.
"I-I-I..." She didn't know what to say as her words died in her throat as his clawed hand expanded over her.
"Well Leviathan?!"
"I don't know!" She squeezed her eyes shut as she felt a whoosh of wind going over her and stood there for a minute before nothing happened. She opened her eyes to see no one there. She blinked and took a look around noticing everyone looking at her weirdly as she flushed in embarrassment over what just happened. Everyone ran away as she started to emanate a dark aura. She would not be forgetting this.
"Shishishi I just embarrassed a Satan." Naruto had his hands in his pockets as he walked with the group through the hallways. Rias let out a breath in relief as the situation went much better than she expected. Sona fixed her glasses before speaking to Naruto's back as he walked in front of them.
"Thank you Naruto-kun for getting us out of that situation but please control yourself better from now on. I know my sister and she won't let you get off easy for this." She was more curious about how he got all of them out the room that fast but she had a feeling he wouldn't tell her.
"Eh I'm not too worried."
"Well anyway we are almost to the waiting room for the young devils." Rias had a tired expression on her face as she was not looking forward to this.
"Geez a bunch of young hormonal devils stuck in one room? We'd be lucky to get out alive." Sure she was exaggerating a bit but still.
Naruto paused in his step upon hearing that.
"Wait that's where Shio and Miso are?! My sisters are in a room filled with hormonal devils?!"
"I thi-."
*Boom* "Ahh!"
They gave out a started scream as Naruto suddenly vanished with extreme speed breaking the ground where he just was as he rushed to the room. He got there a second later and blinked as the occupants of the room looked at him oddly. In the room he scanned the audience a bit till he saw Shio and Miso standing near the back he let out a wolf whistle as he saw both of them with their wild hair down and their fox features out. Shio was wearing a violet dress that matched her eyes while Miso wore a red one and they seemed to catch much of the attention of the males in the room. They didn't mind the attention but from the looks of annoyance on their faces it looked like they had grown tired of it and he could see why. There was a girl with in front of them with long pale blonde hair and red eyes behind a pair of glasses. Her gaze was cold and her manner of dress left little skin exposed as she wore a blue robe of sorts yet it still clung to her showing she had a killer body. The young woman had her hands out and appeared to be blocking the path of a man with blue hair that stood straight up.
He had an arrogant expression on his face and reminded him of Riser but worse. He felt stronger than Riser to him too and for some reason he started to growl just from looking at him.
"Zephyrdor they aren't interested! Unless you have a death wish I suggest you back off!" The man smirked snidely as the glare the woman gave him didn't deter me at all.
"I don't have to listen to virgins you nosy bitch. This is between me and the vixen babes so unless you want to lose your V-card get the hell out of my way!"
The building confrontational aura could be felt by the crowd as it continued to emanate from the two teens. The twins let out an exasperated breath before their ears twitched and the looked in the direction of Naruto noticing him. The two ran and tackled him gaining everyone's attention as the two stopped arguing to look at them confused.
"Oniisam- Gah!" They yelped as they tackled his chest but it felt like they hit a brick wall. They held their faces in pain as Naruto just looked at them amused. "Ow..."
"What's wrong with you two?"
"You're body is too hard!"
"I meant before that." They remembered why they ran to him and stood straight again. Miso pointed to Zephyrdor as she looked to her brother for help.
"That guy won't leave us alone oniisama. Can you take care of him for us?"
"But I can tell you are around his strength Miso. And Shio-chan is clearly stronger than him. Both of you should be more than enough to kick his ass."
"B-But we're in dresses!"
"Hmm..."
Shio looked at her sharp nails as Miso tried to persuade their brother poorly. Deciding to end this quickly she uttered several words.
"He wanted to bang us."
*Crcck*
Zephyrdor got annoyed by having another person interrupt his fun as he walked up to Naruto who had gone silent.
"Oi who are you? Get out of here you're in the way of the fox babes." Shio and Miso gained evil grins as they moved behind Naruto. Shio glanced back to answer Zephyrdor's question.
"That's our brother."
Zephyrdor rose an eyebrow at that as he scrunched his eyes looking up at Naruto's face since Naruto was a few inches taller than him. He could really see much of his face since the upper half of it was covered by a shadow cast by his hair and hood.
"Eh never seen you before so if you're their brother then you must be a youkai too right? I heard male youkai were near extinct. Unless you want to put the future of your race in danger I would get the hell out of my way."
He smirked as Naruto kept silent. He moved to walk around Naruto but the next thing he knew his world had been turned upside down as a hand grabbed his face. He felt a sharp pain through the back of his head as he was slammed hard into the floor. He hit it hard enough that a small crater formed with his body. He grabbed at the arm as he squirmed in the grip but to no avail. He felt a chill go through his body as Naruto's eyes glowed down from his hood. He didn't know if he was seeing things but when Naruto spoke it looked like wisps of fire were pouring out of his mouth and around his canines.
"I can kill you 1000 times and have you live though each and every single one. You have no idea who you are fucking with."
All the man's prior bravado left him as Naruto swung back his other arm and his hand morphed into large black metallic claws before they burst into flames. The man tried to scream out but it was muffled by Naruto's hand as he grinned down on him with murder in his eyes. Naruto brought the hand ready to stab down at him but was halted by a voice at the door.
"Naruto! You aren't supposed to kill anyone here remember?"
He looked back to see Rias standing at the door with her arms crossed standing with the others. Naruto's posture relaxed as his hand turned back to normal.
"Oh right I forgot."
Naruto picked Zephyrdor back up and let go of his face dropping him onto his feet.
The second he touched down all he felt was pain and a split second he was in a crater in a wall on the other side of the room where Rias was. He choked from whatever hit him as he fell started to fall out of the crater. Gravity never got a chance to fully pry his body out of the crater before he felt another blow in his gut and he shot though the wall and into the balcony leaving a hole. The occupants of the room all had their jaws dropped as they basically saw someone they didn't know take out the second strongest youth like he was trash. What also shocked them was that they didn't even see what hit Zephyrdor as all they saw was a small shockwave where he was hit each time and a distortion in the air. Even those that knew Naruto were somewhat surprised by the speed.
Shio replayed the scene in her head several times as she looked at her brothers arm. 'His attack speed is just as fast as Tama's now? Did he copy her fighting style? Now that wasn't it, it was just a very fast punch but when that prick was in the wall what was that?" She had excellent tracking speed but she wasn't sure if her eyes were playing tricks on her but she was pretty sure she saw Naruto's arm stretched out to punch that guy from across the room but it happened so fast it was a blur for her so she was sure it was probably invisible to most of the others in the room.
"Is that better Ri-chan." She shook her head as he bowed to her dramatically.
"Yes thank you Naruto-kun."
Naruto's eyes suddenly sharpened as he saw a familiar figure walk out from the side of Rias.
"Well well. Looks like I don't have to be the only powerhouse here anymore to keep things in line."
Naruto could never forget someone like that as he recognized the the tall man and grinned.
"Sairaorg."
- Outside the Castle -
Koneko could be seen running through the woods towards some unknown objective. She moved to run vertically up a tree before she took to the branches and took strong leaps on them displaying agility that was uncommon to a rook as she covered ground faster. She made it to a larger tree in the forest and did one final leap dismounting off the branch and flipping through the air before she touched down on the ground lightly balancing on one foot. Her face was expressionless as she looked up at the tree and saw someone had been waiting for her lying on the branch.
"Well well it's been a while Shirone." The form was clearly that of a well endowed woman as a pair of hazel eyes looked down at Koneko.
"So I was right you are here. What up Kuroka-neesama?" Two cat ears twitched as the woman sat up on the branch and smiled as he long black hair and bangs blew lightly in the breeze.
"Aw did you come all the way here just to meet your dear big sister?"
Koneko continued to stare at Kuroka before the woman's eyebrows rose up when Koneko suddenly ripped off her sleeves showing her arms had been covered in bandages.
"Yep and one way or another you are gonna get your ass beat by the end of tonight." Kuroka's eyes widened when Koneko started to give off chakra before her own white cat ears and a tail sprouted.
Tayuya stood behind a tree a good distances away as she heard the entire conversation. She gained a smirk of her own as this was getting interesting.
"Shit-kun isn't gonna want to miss this."
- END -
AN: There you go. How strong has Naruto gotten? Why does he not feel stronger to some others? What did he do to himself? What all has he learned? How badass is he now? So many questions that you will have to figure out as the story goes on because a lot will unfold. Looks like the Sairaorg poll is having it so that people want me to keep the fight at the same canon time and not move it up sooner? Keep voting guys and you can change your vote too. Either way Naruto really did finish the training that he wanted in 2 weeks. But he took a month long training trip...
Hmm...
Anyway see ya guys. Finals are coming around soon for me but that shouldn't slow me down at all. The next chapter should definitely be out sooner than this one was.
Anyway bye guys give me reviews as that is my motivation! With this chapter Part 2 is now over 100K words!
