Chapter 3

Original story by The Engulfing Silence

---

As the door behind them opened two people came through. The first had sun kissed hair that spiked in a way that defied gravity. A small smile was on his face as his eyes swept the room, before lighting up once they landed on Naruto. He was in a casual long-sleeved shirt and pants, both a dark blue with a crimson swirl on both shoulders. The devils could feel the power and authority that the man exuded, much like Rias' brother would exude at times.

The next person that came through was smiling radiantly as she honed in on Naruto. Red hair, a lighter shade than Rias, was waist length. The woman wore a simple green blouse over a white shirt. Tears were quickly building in her eyes as she hesitantly took a step towards Naruto.

"M-mom? Dad?" Naruto stuttered out, not believing that his parents were in front of him. Kakashi was in a similar state of shock, staring between Minato and Kushina as tears started to flow freely.

It was Margaret that brought everyone out of their stupor. "If you needed take a moment my brother can show you to a spare room where you may talk."

In an instant Theodore was next to Minato and Kushina, a small smile on his face as he waited for Naruto to join them.

"Yeah." Naruto said while rising from his seat, gaining more confidence with every step. Before he got far a slight tug on his arm brought his attention back to Koneko, who had a small pleading look.

"Ah. I'll be back Neko-chan." Naruto said while shooting her a warm smile. Nodding at the promise he would be back Koneko rejoined her devils, earning her curious, and in Issei's case, envious looks. Walking with Theodore and his parents Naruto disappeared into another room as the devils sent questioning looks at the lone Ninja, who was shaking himself out of his own shock.

"I assume that they weren't supposed to be here?" Rais asked, wanting to confirm something.

"You…could say that." Kakashi stated before turning his head into a familiar orange book.

---

As Naruto took a seat in one of the chairs that the room conveniently had he stared at his parents. Words seemed to have abandoned him at the moment. Whenever he tried to talk a lump would form in his throat, hoping against everything that his wasn't some cruel joke. It was Kushina who finally broke the ice.

"Naruto, my baby boy." Kushina sobbed as she started to reach for him. Naruto's own tears started to pour, recognizing his mother's voice form when she helped him against his fight with Kurama. As he melted into his mother's embrace another body joined the hug, sobs adding into the mix as well.

"It's us son." Minato sobbed as he kissed Naruto on the head. Naruto just hiccupped as he nodded on Kushina's shoulder. The family held each other for a few minutes before separating, though Naruto held their hands in an effort to convince himself that this was still real.

"So….I'm guessing you want to know how we got here?"

"Well yeah. I mean it's not every day you see you parents who." Naruto swallowed before he could finish that sentence. Minato and Kushina merely sent him a small smile as they noticed Theodore stepped back into the room.

"I can answer that if you wish." Theodore spoke up, gaining everyone's attention. "Our benefactor has the power to bring legends to life, in a way. Combined with a little more power and different catalysts can make the summons more permanent, as long as they are in the velvet room."

So they aren't exactly-"

"Alive? In a way yes." Thoedore mused before giving them a small smile. "Our benefactor was sure that all parties would be satisfied with this, though they cannot leave the velvet room. I would encourage you to make the best of it, as the story of your other self is quite intriguing, if I do say so myself."

"Yeah." Naruto quietly mummered before speaking up. "Yeah! Lets make the most of it!

"That's my boy!" Kushina shouted while giving her son another hug. Minato put a hand on his son's shoulder, eyes beaming with pride at the man his son had become.

"For now though would you catch us up to speed on what this 'story' you has done."

Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he caught his parents up with what they had read, Theodore slipping out unnoticed.

---

"Come now Koneko, surely his head petting isn't that good." Rais questioned her rook, much to the group's amusement. The White haired girl continued too much on the sweets Theodore had provided the group, seemingly ignoring her King. Rais decided to take action, mimicking what Naruto had been doing for two chapters now.

Koneko let the King pet her for several seconds before turning to her with a deadpan stare, more like her usual self.

"Not the same." Rais could only lower her hand, a little depressed that the blonde ninja could rub her rooks head better than her. Her rook had only known the blonde ninja for an hour! Tops!

Before anything more could be said on that topic the door Naruto and his parents had gone into burst open. The red haired woman form before marched towards her that unnerved Rias. Especially once the woman was standing in front of her. Rias couldn't help but fidget as she was placed under the scrutinizing gaze of Uzumaki Kushina.

"Would you do it again?"

"W-what?" Rias asked, a little more nervous than before.

"Would you save him from dying?"

Rias looked into the slightly bloodshot violet eyes of the woman before her. She had seen that look in her own mother, one that was ready in a moment to switch from caring to anger. Luckily, Rias already knew her answer.

"In an instant."

Kushina merely gave a beaming smile, much like Naruto would do. Rias could tell where Naruto got part of his smile from.

Naruto could only sheepishly rub the back of his head as he and Minato rejoined the group. "Sorry. I tried to stop her."

Rias merely waved him off, knowing how overbearing relatives could be. AS everyone rejoined the group Naruto motioned to his parents as he introduced them.

"Everyone who is not Kakashi-sensei these are my parents. Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato."

Rias went ahead and started introductions on her side, letting each member of her peerage introduce themselves. It was when they got to Issei that something hilarious (to Naruto at least) happened.

"Why am I reminded of a certain toad sannin?" Kushina proclaimed a little louder than she wanted to. Naruto burst into laughter as Issei gained a depressed look, which amused the rest of the peerage itself.

"If were done I'll start-" Before Minato could finish Koneko had started to approach Naruto, before looking at Kushina as if asking for permission. Remembering a part of the story that involved the small girl the woman gave a small smile before nodding her head. Inwardly pleased the neko girl laid her head on Naruto's lap. Not a moment later purring could be heard as Naruto idly stroked her head.

"Reading." Minato finished, shaking his head while Kakashi chuckled.

As morning came, Naruto found himself waking up to a strangely warm and familiar feeling. It wasn't one he had felt often. In fact, he could count the number of times he felt this way on one hand. And one of those times he felt this way, he was too busy trying to figure out why he wasn't dead to notice the feeling until well after he was awake.

Naruto could only glance towards Rias before looking away with a blush. For her part Rias just stared at the screen, a little worried now that the blonde's parents were here.

That was not the case now. With no injuries making his mind turn elsewhere and having had a good nights rest, Naruto was perfectly aware of the naked female body lying next to him on the bed.

"Now mom before you say anything_"

"What would I say? That you seem to have inherited your godfather's penchant for perverseness?"

"It's not like that!" Naruto sputtered as Minato decided to continue, hoping that wherever Jiriaya was he would be hiding when they got back to the pure lands.

Or rather, the naked female body that was snuggled directly into his side.

Looking to his left and down, the first thing he saw was red hair fanned out across his body. With the sunlight streaming through his window, hitting her hair just so, it made the long red tresses look like crystallized flames. Naruto was not one to wax poetic, but it was easily the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

Rias almost reached for her hair to twirl it around her finger, but felt the gaze of Kushina on her. It felt like a hawk watching over her young. Surely she would be alright with the mother.

Right?

The second thing he saw was Rias as she slept on peacefully, blissfully unaware that he had woken up.

The covers had been pulled down to their waist, exposing her enviable bust for his eyes to see. She was turned slightly on her side, facing him, and was using his shoulder as a pillow. Naruto could feel every inch of her bountiful curves as they pressed into him, as they were pulled flush against him.

"Ara ara. I must say Buchou you are bold. Showing up in Naruto-kuns bed twice now?" Akeno commented, causing Kushina to narrow her eyes at the devil seemingly sleeping with her son.

Rias threw a glare at her queen before sighing as Asia worked to restore Issei to life. She was thankful to have a least one semi-normal person in Kiba with her peerage.

He did not have much experience with woman, but he did have some. Contrary to popular belief back home, he wasn't completely inept when it came to the opposite sex. He'd had Jiraiya as a teacher for God's sakes! You didn't come back from a three year training trip with the worlds biggest pervert and not pick some things up!

"And what exactly were some of those things?" Kushina asked with a smile that promised pain for Jiriaya. Or at least Naruto hoped.

"Mainly how to drag an old pervert out of whatever establishment he wound up and deal with the hangover the next morning."

Minato chuckled, knowing exactly what his son had gone through on his own training trip.

And Sakura always said he was dense. Ha! Whose dense now! Not him! No sirry. He wasn't dense in the slightest!

"I believe your picture can be found next to the word dense." Kakashi idly commented. Naruto just hanged his head, knowing that for all his training when it came to affairs of the heart he was….Stunted. Yeah let's go with stunted.

Kushina could only reminisce about Minato's own brand of dense that Naruto seemingly inherited.

…

Well, maybe he was just a little dense. Just a bit.

"An improvement." Kushina said with a little bit of mirth. Naruto could only pout before smiling a little.

Anyways, those few woman he had previous sexual encounters with

Kushina instantly homed in on Naruto, who was fidgeting in his seat. The devils all sported blushes, except Issei who just looked at Naruto with Barely restrained jealousy. Kakashi just looked on with pride in his student, before quickly adopting a blank expression to prevent being punished by Kushina.

"I'll, uh, tell you later?" Naruto asked. Kushina merely nodded her head before motioning for Minato to keep reading

were all put to shame by the beauty lying against him. He really didn't think there was another creature that could possibly be as beautiful as this girl right here.

"Thanks Naruto." Rias said. While she couldn't read his mind she could tell that the words were genuine, even with his expression on the screen.

Of course, these were all secondary thoughts. Things he noted with interest but was not really concerned with. There was only one thing he currently wanted to know.

How had she gotten in?

"I would wonder that." Naruto commented. At the questioning looks form the devils he elaborated. "I would have set up traps at any entry point where I was living. I'm sure Kkashi could tell you about some of the traps I could set up." The Blonde ninja finished with a foxy smile. Kakashi merely shivered as memories of the blondes 'home defense' system started going through his head.

He would not wish that fresh hell on any allies or friends.

That was the first thing Naruto wanted to know. He had a ton of traps set up all around his apartment, especially by the windows and the front door. They only ever came down when he needed to leave and came back up immediately after he left, and he had made sure she had not seen how his traps worked when they left for school the other day. So how had she managed to get into his bedroom? Was there some kind of method of breaking and entering people's bedrooms that Devil's had that could bypass all his defenses?

"Nothing that elaborate. Probably." Kiba commented. Devils could teleport afterall.

Not that Naruto was actually complaining, mind you. While not as bad as, say, Issei, Naruto was still a healthy male, and he'd had Jiraiya as his sensei. Even if Naruto did not follow in his godfather's footsteps of peeping on women, he still had a larger than average libido. He was just better at not showing it and had more respect for women than either Jiraiya or Issei did.

"Why did you have to mention me?" Issei cried out.

"Because of the people I have met you and Jiriaya are the biggest and most shameless perverts I have ever had the grace of meeting." Naruto stated completely serious. Rias merely rubbed the bridge of her nose as Akeno licked her lips.

"Please continue Namikaze-san" Rais spoke out, hoping to get past this section of the book.

That's what happened when you had Haruno Sakura as a teammate and Senju Tsunade as a mother figure. You gained a healthy amount of respect ― and fear ― of women. Having Shizune as an older sister figure probably hadn't helped either.

"In the end I believe they balanced me out." Naruto commented. Kakashi was right on the cusp of a retort before catching the look Kushina was sending him.

Life was better than one upping your student after all.

Damn, that was a lot of woman who hated perverts in his life. Good thing he had Kakashi and Jiraiya to offset those women's influence.

Kakashi could feel the glare that Kushina was shooting him.

Shaking his head, Naruto dispelled those nonsensical thoughts. None of them helped him with his current problem, namely, what should he do now? It was morning, so technically speaking, he should probably get up and get started on breakfast, or maybe even take a shower before Rias woke up so that she could use it after him. At the same time...

"Naruto…." Kushina growled, not wanting her son to fall into the same perverseness as Kakashi and Jiriaya. Naruto shifted uncomfortably, shooting his father a look to continue.

Naruto glanced down at the girl using him as a pillow. His arm was wrapped loosely around her thin waist, his hand resting on the middle of her back, pulling her closer.

"Ara ara Buchou. Such close skin ship! So bold of you." Akeno commented loudly. Rias glared at her queen before sinking into the couch to hopefully avoid kushina's gaze.

Naruto's mother was currently studying the image of Naruto and Rias in bed. Naruto had a bad feeling about that.

He could feel her body pressed against his, her bare breasts felt magnificent against his torso, and one of her legs had hooked itself around his right leg sometime during the night, the silky smoothness of her skin brought an almost intolerable pleasure, causing shivers to run down his spine. Her hair was splayed out across his chest, draping him in a crimson curtain of velvety satin.

"You seem to have inherited Jiriaya's skill for waxing poetic." Kakashi eye smiled, while plotting for the kid to continue the Icha Icha empire. Naruto's eyes started to twitch, cursing his godfather and his editing of certain parts of the book.

She hadn't done that the last time she slept with him. At least he was sure she had not done this last time. Then again, his mind had not been all there when he first woke up. For all he knew, she could have been this close and he just pushed her off when he sat up. Hadn't she told him that healing him had required them to have as much skin contact as possible?

In Konoha one slug princess had the inane urge to clobber her successor and Blonde ninja. Reeling it in her and Anko were going over the scroll, wondering if it was perhaps one of Orochimaru's works.

Makes you wonder why she was here now.

"Isn't that the question of the day?" Kushina asked, a little malice leaking out. In her mind kushina was howling at the awkwardness she was producing. It felt great to mess with people again.

… As much as he knew he should probably get breakfast started or something, he really didn't want to leave the comfortable warmth that having a beautiful girl sleeping with him brought.

Issei was comically crying, wishing to be tin the blonde ninja's position. Naruto glanced at Rias before looking away, a blush on his face hat Rias easily noticed.

And so, Naruto decided to relax. If he was late for school, so be it. He was far too comfortable to move right now. And he didn't really care about school so it was a win-win situation in his book.

"Naruto…." Minato groaned. He was just like his mother when it came to schoolwork of any type. Naruto could only sheepishly chuckle, knowing that he would probably do the exact same thing as his story counterpart.

As he let his mind wander to nonsensical thoughts like 'what kind of ramen should I have for lunch today?' and 'I wonder if Sakura manage to pull that stick out of Sasuke's ass yet?'

Both Naruto and Kakashi laughed, knowing that if anyone could do that it would be Sakura.

, his hand began to absently rub up and down Rias' torso and hips. This action caused the girl snuggled against him to begin stirring.

As a soft yawn escaped from the red-haired, greenish-blue eyed girl's mouth, Naruto looked down to see Rias lifting her head from his shoulder and blinking several times as she found him staring at her.

'So cute!' Kushina thought, glad that her son had gotten the attention of someone like Rias. Her son deserved to be loved after all.

"Good morning, Naruto-kun," Rias mumbled, smiling a bit. Naruto returned the smile with one of his own.

Rias dared not look anywhere but the screen for now. She had a feeling that her Queen had a look of amusement, while she could feel the lo0oks she as getting from the Blonde ninja's mother.

"Good morning, Rias. I'm kind of surprised to see you today." He frowned, turning his head a bit so that she would not see the expression on his face. "I kinda expected you to still be with Issei." He tried not to show it, but it bothered him to think of her with Issei. He still wasn't jealous though, just concerned.

"Of course that's all there is." Kakashi commented with an eye smile directed at his student. Naruto had the urge to flip off his sensei, but refrained as Minato continued reading.

"You know, since you healed him last night and all."

Rias pushed herself into a sitting position, once again heedless of her own nudity.

Kushina could only look at Rais, a bemused expression on her face. Minato noticed that look, and rolled his eyes as he looked between his son and the red-haired devil. Both were sporting blushes on their faces, not daring to look at each other.

Rias could only blush as she was revealed to be sleeping tin the same bed with Naruto again. In front of his parents!

Naruto hoped that his mother wouldn't think of him as a pervert.

Naruto found his eyes unconsciously traveling towards her breasts as they bounced and jiggled with each movement made. They were very perky despite their size. No sag at all. Even though they were quite large, it looked like they didn't even need a bra to stay uplifted. Her pink nipples and aerola looked very enticing right now. In that moment, he wanted nothing more than take those pert nipples in his mouth and suckle on them.

"Naruto!" Kushina shouted, wondering what the hell Jiriaya had done to her son. Minato decided to keep his mouth shut, as he had an idea to where his son had got the….descriptive vocabulary.

"Other me!" Naruto shouted "And it's Jiriaya's fault!"

A certain Toad Sannin sneezed, muttering about blonde idiots.

…

…

And did he really just think that? Damn that Jiraiya! Even in death, his corruption ran deep. Naruto supposed he should just be glad he didn't end up like Issei. He could only imagine the trouble he would have gotten in had he been like that kid.

"Hey!" shouted Issei. The deadpan looks that the boy received caused him to slump in depression.

"Pervert."

Tears started to comically fall as Koneko went back to purring into the blondes lap. Asia patted the boy's back.

He shuddered at the thought of all the beatings he would have received from Sakura and Tsunade.

Kushina merely scowled, wondering about the girl the book had mentioned. She knew Tsunade hated perverts, and would hope that Naruto would learn his lesson. If he was a pervert.

"I thought about it," Rias replied to his unasked question. Her words also had the effect of knocking him out of his small moment of perversion and caused him to look her in the eye. "But decided against it. While Issei's reaction to my presence would have been amusing, I felt it might be a bit too much if I were to appear naked in his bed."

"If he's anything like Jiriaya, then yes it would be amusing. And stupid." Kushina commented. Naruto and Minato could only nod, knowing their teacher well.

Rias could only smirk, remembering the reaction she had gotten from when she had stated after healing him from the second Fallen attack.

"Is that so..."

Naruto released a breath he did not know he had been holding, something Rias immediately noticed and latched onto.

"Why do you ask?" There was an innocent smile on her face that Naruto felt really did not belong there. It was far too innocent to be real.

"Ara ara. Someone seems to having fun eh?" Akeno smiled as she turned towards her King. Rias could only smile back, as Naruto groaned into his hands. Kushina could only send a knowing smirk as the two devils.

"Ah, no real reason, I guess," Naruto mumbled a bit. He felt strangely vulnerable under that gaze. "Just a bit worried about my new friend." When Rias merely continued smiling, Naruto felt an inexplicable urge to explain himself. "It's just that I know perverts very well. My old sensei was the biggest pervert I've ever met, so I know how they work. If you were to show up in Issei's bed, naked, he may try to take advantage of you."

Issei could only pale as several glares were sent his way. The look from Akeno was especially unnerving.

Rias hummed thoughtfully, but still didn't say anything. For some reason, it was making Naruto a bit self conscious.

"So, uh, why did you decide to come here and not simply head back home?" he asked, simply for lack of having anything better to say.

"When in doubt, go for the obvious." Kiba commented, amused that his fellow blonde's situation. The knight had enough experience navigating the sea of teenage female hormones.

"Hmm?" Rias tilted her head, the smile still on her face. "I just wanted to become closer to my cute, new servant. Nothing more."

"That's the only reason?"

"Yep."

"So... you do this to be closer to your servants?" Naruto mumbled before look back at Rias. "Does that mean you've done this with Yuuto, Konekoa and Akeno as well?"

Several reactions came from the devils. For Kiba he could only sputter as he looked incredulously at Naruto. Koneko glared at her King, though a small hint of pink was on her face. Akeno put her head on her palm, as if remembering those times.

Rias could only groan, hoping that the book version of her was a little more sensible.

"Well, no," Rias shook his head, "But Yuuto's not really the type to enjoy this sort of thing. And Akeno and Koneko-chan aren't really into this either. Although," the red haired beauty looked immensely thoughtful as she seemed to remember something. "I have occasionally slept with Akeno. We are best friends after all, so it's only natural."

"I am extremely happy that Jiriaya is not here." Naruto muttered, though his parents and Kakashi heard him. Kushina and Minato could only nod, knowing that the super pervert would do something stupid.

Kakashi could only lament that the image would be great in a Icha Icha book. He kept his mouth shut. No need to get a beating from Kushina for being like Jiriaya.

"I see..." He really didn't, but said that for lack of having anything of substance to say. "Anyways, you should probably take a shower and get dressed while I make breakfast." A smile crept onto Rias' face, causing Naruto to deadpan. "That's why you're here, isn't it? So I can cook for you."

"Of course not," Rias smiled indulgently. "That's just a bonus."

"Whatever," Naruto sighed, "Just take a shower."

Naruto could only sigh, though the smile on his face let Rias know that he was enjoying this part of the book.

~KatCHRP~

Rias sighed softly as she stood in the shower. Steaming hot droplets of water ran down her gorgeous body, coasting over her slender shoulders, climbing across the two large mounds on her chest and making adventurous trips through the valley of her breasts. They ran down her smooth, flat stomach and followed the small, trimmed patch of red hair before roving across the valley of her lips and, finally, falling off to join the thousands of other drops of water on the shower floor while other droplets ran the longer course across her beautifully shaped thighs and calves.

"Kami I feel like I'm reading on of Ero-sennins books." Naruto muttered while Kushina could only snort in agreement. Issei was in his fantasies, with blood dripping out of his nose.

"I'm guessing it's what we refer to as smut?" Kiba asked with some amusement.

"It much better than some random 'smut'." Kakashi commented. The other three ninja could only look at the copy-nin with deadpan expressions before Minato continued to read.

As she finally decided to pick up the bar of soap and wash herself (on a side note, Naruto had good taste in soap), her mind wandered towards one of her newest servants. Namely, the blond one whose apartment she was currently in.

Rias dared not to look at her queen. She could feel the smug expression on her face. One that Rias would rather not see at the moment.

She had not been lying when she said that her reason for not still being with Issei was because she thought him waking up to a naked woman might be a bit... much. As funny as his reaction would be she didn't want him to be distracted from what she would eventually need to tell him, and if he was thinking about her breasts, he would be distracted.

"I can think of other things besides oppai!" Issei shouted.

"Uh-huh. Then what are you thinking of right now?" Naruto pointed to his nose. Issei furrowed his brow before dabbing at his nose, where blood was coming out in a small trickle.

Naruto promptly sent Issei a foxy and smug smile.

But there had been another reason for her to come to Naruto, and it was not just because he had actually made a very good breakfast last time. There was something strange about Naruto. of the circumstances that led to him being here. He showed up at her school exactly one month ago, and exactly one month ago her brother had given her a very special Mutated Piece, something so rare only every one in one hundred Devils had one.

"Ah, so your trying to find out the mystery behind my son." Kushina nodded, putting her chin on her fist as she thought of how Naruto had ended up in this world himself.

"Hopefully the book explains how I got there." Naruto commented, much of the same opinion of his mother.

Minato himself had a question. "I take it that mutated evil pieces are different because of their traits."

It was Rias who answered. "Yep. Mutated pieces allow devils to produce devils that would not normally be able to be reincarnated with a regular piece. The higher the piece, along with the mutation, determines whether the piece can actually bring the person back."

The four ninjas nodded in understanding before continuing.

There was simply no way these two incidents were not connected. Her brother knew that Naruto would be going to her school and knew that there was something special about him.

Rias wanted to find out what, and since she had not been able to get in contact with her brother (he was likely doing something stupid again),

Rias could only groan as she related with her book counterpart. Her brother was liable to be doing something stupid.

she would have to figure out why Naruto was so special by spending time with him and learning more about him. That was why she had decided to come over to his house, why she spent so much time with him.

"So that's the only reason huh?" Naruto muttered. Rias quickly started to refute him before noticing the expressions on both mother and sun. After that she merely huffed before turning away. The sound of a high five followed.

What's more, the Mutated Piece she had used looked nothing like the other ones she had seen. Her brother had a few of them, so she knew what they looked like. They always still carried the general shape of what they once were. The Mutated Piece he gave her looked nothing like a standard chess piece. It wasn't a pawn, nor a rook, knight, bishop or queen. It wasn't a king either. It was none of those things.

"So what do these evil pieces look like?" Naruto asked. Rias brought out one of her pieces, a remaining bishop and showed the Ninjas.

"The Evil piece system was based off chess, a popular board game." Before she could continue a closeup of the piece that her counterpart had used to revive Naruto was displayed. Rias looked confused, as did the rest of the devils. Naruto noticed their looks of confusion.

"I'm guessing that isn't in the normal set of pieces?"

"As far as I know that's not in the game of chess at all." Rias answered, wondering what made the piece her counterpart had so special.

That intrigued her as well. There must be something truly special about Naruto if the only Evil Piece that worked for him was this unique Mutated Piece that she had never seen before. That it wasn't considered a standard Evil Piece, and therefore meant she still had her bishop, knight and rook pieces was the icing on the proverbial cake.

Rais smiled at her counterpart's way of wording. As far as she was concerned it was!

Stepping out of the shower, Rias began the long, arduous process of drying herself off. Most of the drying was simply her hair, which she had a lot of. It had been suggested that she cut it before, but Rias rather liked her hair and wouldn't hear anything of it.

Kushina and Akeno merely smiled, being in the same position with their own hair. But it was worth it for the looks they would receive. For different reasons, of course.

Besides, Naruto had complimented her hair. For some reason that made her feel it was special.

"It does, doesn't it?" Kushina asked the Gremory heiress. Rias nodded as she took a stand in her hand and twirled it around her finger.

Naruto blushed a little before focusing back on the story.

After getting dressed in her school uniform, the young Gremory Heiress made her way into the kitchen. It wasn't actually what she would call a kitchen, more of a small place to cook combined with a moderately sized living room. The kitchen was incredibly tiny and only separated from the rest of the room by the floor changing from carpet to tile.

"Hm, it's not that different form where I currently live." Naruto commented. Kushina and Minato looked at their son, a little worried that he was alright living with such a quint home. Both sides of the family had some considerable wealth, along with a decent sized home in the clan estates. Kakashi caught their eyes and gave a knowing nod.

All the while Naurto was trying different ways of petting the Nekoshou girl in his lap.

Naruto was standing over the stove, making breakfast. She didn't know what it was, but it smelled pretty good.

"You can make things other than ramen?" his teacher remarked with amusement. Naruto rolled his eyes. He had to learn how to cook different foods when Jiriaya had gotten sick of having Ramen for every meal. In a way he was thankful for his godfather and getting him on a better diet.

Kushian and Minato merely gave Naruto a knowing look, their own addiction to Ramen well known by most of the village.

Deciding to see out what he was making, she walked directly behind him, pressed her chest against his back and placed her chin on his shoulder as she looked over him to the pan.

"You two look like a married couple Rias-sama." Was one ex-nuns innocent remark. Both Naruto and Rias' blushes came back with a vengeance. The image on the screen didn't help with trying to not be embarrassed. Kushina was merely eying the devil heiress with a calculating look. Minato noticed and could only shake his head in amusement before continuing, ignoring the sputtering of his son and the Gremory heir.

"What are you making?"

"Just scrambled eggs," Naruto did not seem all that surprised by her sudden action. It made her rather curious. Most people would have at least been surprised. Most men would have gotten a nosebleed or at least a blush with how she was pressing her breasts against his back. Naruto? He acted as if he knew what she was going to do before she had even done it.

Kushina had a tic mark, knowing where her son had gotten the iron will against women form. Not that she was happy about it of course.

"However, I decided to add some whole milk, cheddar cheese and chopped vegetables to it," he continued, heedless of her inner thoughts. "I never used to like vegetables back when I was younger, but my godfather showed me that if I cook them in something, then I can make it so that I don't taste them while I eat."

"A good skill to have when you have kids." Minato commented with complete seriousness. Kushina sent Naruto a smile that he had grown used to with Sakura as his teammate.

It said that she wanted something, and he was pretty sure what it was.

"That's certainly an interesting way of making sure you eat healthy," Rias commented airily as she filed something more important away. His mention of having a godfather. "I thought you didn't have family?"

Rias winced, having now known that the young man had grown up an orphan. She sent an apologetic look at Naruto. Who merely sent her a small smile to know that it was okay.

"I don't," Naruto paused. It was only for a moment, but Rias noticed the hitch in his voice enough to realize what she had just said.

Kushina grabbed her son's hand, knowing how difficult it was that her and Minato were not there for him. Naruto squeezed the hand tightly, not really looking forward to this next part.

"Sorry," she mumbled softly. With guilt setting in, Rias wrapped her arms around his torso, hugging him from behind. "I didn't mean to bring that up again."

"It's okay. Naruto said, as Rias looked down in shame. Rias just gave a smile that didn't really reach her eyes. Koneko had circled her arms around him, providing small level of comfort to the blonde ninja.

"It's fine," Naruto blew out a deep breath. She turned her head slightly to look at him from out of the corner of her eye and saw him looking back with a very small, understanding smile. "You're curious. I get that. I don't blame you for that, and I really don't mind telling you a little about myself."

Her response to his words was to tighten her hold on him.

Akeno looked at her king, with no small amount of amusement. She knew that Rias had a tendency to step on awkward conversations, and it was sometimes hilarious to see those times. The look that Rias had currently was one of embarrassment for bringing up the blondes not so good past.

"I hadn't even met my godfather until I turned twelve," Naruto informed her. "Because he had a very important job that was too dangerous for him to take me with, he had to leave me in the village. Of course, I didn't even know he was my godfather until after he had been killed. He had never mentioned that to me. I'm still a little pissed at him for that."

"He didn't tell…" Minato trailed off before a wave of killing intent flooded the room. The devils started to shake and sweat, with Issei and Asia having already passed out. Kushina had her hair shadowing her eyes, as Minato looked to be barely restraining his fury at the mention that Jiriaya didn't even let their son know about his relation to him.

"Mom, dad." Naruto spoke up, gaining their attention. "It's okay."

"But Naruto-"

Naruto took a deep breath before continuing. "Sure I'm still a little pissed about him not being there for me when I was a child. There are many things I could be pissed at Jiriaya about. But he tried the best he could to be there for me after the Chunin exams and Sasuke leaving the village. I don't blame him for his decisions, and try ot remember all the good times we had."

Both parents looked at each other before taking a deep breath, receding their killing intent. The sound of panting caused all the ninja's to look at the devils.

Rias was laid back on her seat, gulping air as fast as she could. Akeno was shaking, though Naruto suspected it was something else than outright fear. He could see Kiba was trying his hardest to not attack someone, though he was curious as to why his hands seemed to be trying to grasp for something. He already suspected both Asia and Issei to be knocked out, for they seemed to be the closest equivalent of civilians at the moment. And Koneko?

Had buried her head into Naruto's chest, rubbing back and forth as if to ward off the killing intent from his parents.

"Killed?" Rias was surprised by how startled she sounded. Or maybe not. Hearing the words from her newest peerage members lips was shocking. To think that one of her servants had both his parents and godfather killed so early in his life. She could only imagine how he must feel. Rias didn't know if she would have been able to go on if her parents or brother died.

"I really can't." Rias muttered, trying to think of how she would go on without that support base.

"Yeah, he was killed by a former student of his," Naruto said solemnly. "A man by the name of Nagato. I confronted my fellow apprentice several weeks after Ero-Sennin's death and we managed to reach an understanding. I still haven't forgiven him," the blond added as an after thought, "But at the same time, I know that Ero-Sennin would be disappointed in me if I walked down the path of revenge. So even though he killed our sensei, I won't allow myself to hate him."

Both Minato and Kushian smiled at the path their child had chosen. Unbeknownst to the group Kiba was clenching his hands in disbelief and a little bit of envy.

'Could I have done the same in his position? Could I even do the same with my own?'

"I, I see..." Rias grew silent as she contemplated the blond's words. She had already noticed it by now despite the short time she had known him, but Naruto, in spite of that happy-go-lucky attitude of his, was incredibly mature for someone his age. In some ways, his thoughts and maturity reminded her of her brother.

When her brother wasn't being stupid at least.

At the questioning looks she received from the ninjas and her newest peerage members Rias sighed before explaining.

"My brother can go….a little overboard when it comes to me."

Akeno jumped right in without preamble "He is a major sis-con."

The ninja's nodded, knowing people like that in their own world. Though Kakashi had learnt it from one of Jiriaya's works.

The crimson haired Devil wondered what he must have gone through to gain such maturity for someone so young.

"A lot." Was the simple answer form the young man himself.

She also hoped against all hope that he did not act as stupid as her brother sometimes did.

Naruto could only rub the back of his head, having more of an idea as to what he could get up to. Rias noticed and let out a long suffering sigh.

"Breakfast is just about done," Naruto's voice snapped Rias out of her thoughts. "You should go sit down. I'll bring it out to you in just a minute."

"Okay," Rias decided to do as asked. She unwrapped her arms from his torso and walked over to the small table where she sat down. She watched as Naruto went about getting two plates and some silver ware. He placed the scrambled eggs on the plates and walked over to place one of them in front of her while the other was set on the opposite side of the table.

"It's good you know how to treat guests." Kushina commented. Naruto nodded, more than happy that Tsunade had beat into his head proper etiquette.

"Would you like anything to drink?"

"Um," Rias scrunched up her nose in thought, "Milk is fine. Or orange juice, if you have any."

"I definitely have orange juice," Naruto grinned as he got two glass from the cabinet and a pitcher of orange juice from the fridge. "With a name like that, how could I not?"

The group chuckled, amused by the blondes love of anything orange.

Rias giggled as the blond brought the glasses of orange juice to the table. "I guess the color orange really is your favorite," she commented lightly as he put the glass in front of her.

Breakfast was actually kind of pleasant. They didn't really talk much, but that was okay with Rias as it gave her time to digest and think over of the bits of information she had learned about the young man who had joined her peerage.

He was a very open and friendly person, even when she mentioned things that clearly still hurt to think about, he didn't get mad and answered all of her questions. She didn't doubt for one minute that he was being honest with her. She could already tell he was not the type to lie.

Naruto gave the Gremory heir a small smile. It was true hat Naruto could be very open to those that showed him some attention, though the extent differed on the person. He must have felt comfortable enough around Rias to share what he had.

Though a part of her felt like there was much more to learn. Despite being so friendly, the boy sitting at the table, sharing breakfast with her was still very much a mystery. A mystery she aimed to solve.

Kushina let out a small giggle. Leave it to her son to get a girl interested him enough to consider ti a mystery.

"Naruto-kun," Rias started, making the blond look up from his plate. "Would you mind doing me a favor?"

"Eh? Sure," Naruto shrugged, as if to say it was no problem. "What do you need me to do?"

"After school today, I need you to grab Issei and bring him to the occult research club room," Rias told him. "I think it's time I introduce him to rest of my peerage and explain his situation to him. Also, there are some things I need to inform you and him on that comes with being a newly minted devil."

"Like those contract things you mentioned last night?" asked Naruto.

"Yes," Rias smiled at him, "So will you do it?"

"Oh, I'll do it." Naruto commented with foxlike grin. Issei felt a cold shiver run down his back. He didn't like that grin. Not one bit.

"Of course," Naruto's bright grin came full force. He gave the red head a thumbs up. It was kind of corny, but also seemed like a very Naruto-ish thing to do. "Don't you worry, Rias, I'll bring the perv to the clubroom after school today."

~KatCHRP~

Issei groaned as the last day of class ended. Nothing seemed to be going right for the young pervert whose only real desire was to see a pair of real life breasts. This entire week had been one big mess of confusion and anxiety.

"You shame the worlds male populace Issei." Naruto commented with complete seriousness, though if one looked closely you could see the slight twitch of his lips. Kiba nodded right along, furthering the depressive aura surrounding the boy. Kakashi and Minato could only smile in amusement.

It all started with that beating he and his two friends had received at the hands of the kendo club, followed with being stabbed by his apparently non existent ex-girlfriend and culminating in getting stabbed once more by a person who had black angels wings just like Yuuma did. Honestly, with all the bad things going down in his life it almost felt like someone was out to get him.

Maybe God was trying to smite him for being so perverted?

"that would be the more believable story." Kushina commented, offering no mercy towards the mini jiriaya. Naruto could only nod, remembering when karma seemed to be against his late godfather half the time when it came to women.

Nah. That couldn't be it.

It was the day after that last attack, and he had no clue as to what was going on. This morning, he had woken up in his bed, the wound on his chest completely healed as if it had never happened and he was feeling inexplicably tired for some reason, not to mention confused and worried. Issei couldn't help but feel like he was slowly going insane.

Is not being you level of perversion the same as being insane?" Kushina commented, earning some laughs from the women of the group. Akeno could only regard the pawn with a lot of sadism in her expression, loving every second of the teasing he was receiving. Rias, amused as she was, hoped that this would help curve her pawns more troublesome tendencies.

Not even the thought of peeping on the girl's at school while they were in the locker room was enough to help him out of his worry. Which really just drove the point home. That Issei, a male known for his incredible lust, was too worried to even peek on girls when they were changing, well, then you just knew there was something wrong.

"There was already something wrong with you to even begin to think…. Well that." Naruto commented. Koneko merely looked up form where she was laying on Naruto's lap and glared at the pawn.

"Pervert."

Naruto let out a new round of chuckles as Issei pouted.

Muttered whispers broke out around the classroom, but Issei ignored them and his friend's inane chatter about the girls they would be peeping on soon. He was too tired to care right now.

"Oi!" A loud, brash voice sounded out. "Ero-Debagame!"

Issei could only stare at Naruto, questioning why the ninja had already made up a name for him. Naruto's response?

Another damned foxlike grin.

Issei looked up at the sound of the voice, his curiosity getting the better of him, to see the same blond he had been so sure would have remembered Yuuma standing in front of him with a bright grin on his face.

For some reason, that grin made Issei really want to punch him.

Iseei was ready to nod along with his book counterpart, but a burst of killing intent made him think twice.

"Are... you talking to me?" he asked uncertainly.

"Who else would I be talking to?" the blond asked rhetorically. "Rias wants to talk to you, so I'm here to escort you to see her. Now pack your crap and let's go."

Issei stared at the boy in confusion. Rias, as in, Rias Gremory, one of the two Great Ladies of Kuoh Academy, wanted to talk to him? Why?

"Yes, whatever could it be about?" Naruto sarcastically stated. Earning snickers and a glare from Issei.

~KatCHRP~

Naruto walked into the occult research club room with a confused Issei following behind him. All of the members were already there. Rias was standing with her arms crossed under her impressive bust while Akeno stood behind her, hands clasped together in front of her (which had the effect of pushing that monstrously large chest together in a very appealing way). Leaning against the wall to his right was Kiba, and sitting on the couch, munching on some manju was Koneko.

"Putting a strong front for new members." Kushina noted "A good way to start discussions with new people."

Rias smiled at the praise from the red-haired Kunoichi

"Ohayo miina!" Naruto stated cheerfully as he walked in and sat down next to Koneko. Trailing in after him, looking both unsure of himself and incredibly aroused

"How the hell are you still alive?" Naruto asked with complete seriousness. The kid was basically Jiriaya, without any of the power!

"The luck of a pervert!" Issei immediately responded. A kunai landed straight in the couch. Right between the pawns thighs. As the pale-faced boy looked up from the couch he saw that Koneko had an outstretched hand while Naruto was trying not to laugh.

"Die pervert."

as he stared at the trio of beautiful girls he now found himself in the presence of, Issei took a seat in one of the empty easy chairs.

"Ara, ara," Akeno sounded incredibly amused by the young blond teens greeting. "Good afternoon, Kitsune-kun."

Naruto could only chuckle at the nickname that Rias' queen had given him.

"Kitsune?" Naruto tilted his head inquisitively.

"Whisker marks," Koneko commented as she set her food down on the table and crawled over to the blond.

"Ah," Naruto murmured as he absently rubbed a finger down one of the whisker-like markings on his face. During that time, Koneko sat herself down on his lap and looked up at him imploringly. Naruto got the hint and grinned as he raised a hand and began to gently run his fingers along her scalp.

Rias merely looked at her rook, who was once again purring as Naruto was petting her head. It was weird how both Naruto's seemed to have koneko trust them.

Koneko sighed happily as she once more experienced bliss. Wanting to get more of that incredible feeling, the first year curled herself against Naruto and began rubbing her face against his chest. That just made him even more amused and he couldn't help but indulge the girl a little more.

Definitely a cat.

Kushina could only smile at the image of the neko girl curling up to her son. Naruto could only smirk, remembering his interactions with a certain two-tailed cat as well.

A little ways away, Issei looked like he was trying to decide whether he wanted to strangle the blond for what he was doing or worship him for that same damn reason.

To think, this boy, no, this man, was capable of getting such a cute little kohei to enjoy sitting on his lap. It was both awe inspiring and incredibly depressing for the perverted student who would like nothing more than for a girl to sit on his lap and rub her face against his chest like that.

Several snorts from the ninja's were heard, along with a muttering of 'mini-jiriaya'.

"Ara, ara," Akeno giggled at the sight of the normally stoic girl turning into a puddle from the blond's simple head petting. "She really has taken a liking to our Kitsune-kun, hasn't she Buchou?"

…

…

"Buchou?"

Akeno looked over at her best friend and King... and promptly felt a bead of seat trickle down the side of her forehead when she saw Rias staring disapprovingly at Naruto as he pampered the fifteen year old, silver-haired first year.

Akeno giggled as the same expression was mirrored on her King's face. Though there was more of a pout than her King's story counterpart.

Naruto could only chuckle sheepishly as he shifted around to get more comfortable with Koneko's head on his lap.

"Ara, ara."

Being Akeno, however, she recovered from her surprise very quickly.

"Is someone feeling a bit jealous of Koneko-chan?" asked Akeno, causing Rias to finally turn her head from the scene to face her Queen, the frown growing even more prominent.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Of course you don't," was Akeno's sly reply, "ufufufu."

Rias could only let out a sigh as she felt for her story counterpart. Though Akeno was her best friend the Gremory heir knew her habits well enough.

Oddly enough Kakashi thought of Konoha's resident snake mistress.

Rias ignored her best friend's demure giggling and cleared her throat quite loudly. Everyone looked over at her... well, almost everyone. Koneko was still in paradise as Naruto's hands were now in the process of carefully rubbing along her ears, which had the girl emitting an audible purr that rumbled from deep within her chest.

Rias' eye twitched.

"Well," she stated, doing her best to ignore Koneko. She wasn't angry, or jealous. No sir. She just didn't like being ignored. "Now that you're here, Issei, I would like to welcome you to the Occult Research Club."

Kushina gave out a small laugh. She knew several Kunoichi in her time that would have reacted the same way to being ignored. Though they more than often involved some sort of weapon being put in certain places.

"Ah, no," Issei rubbed the back of his head as he tried to think of what to say in this situation. It wouldn't be so hard if all the girls around him weren't so beautiful. He was having trouble just figuring out which pair of breasts to look at! Rias' oppai were so perky, yet Akeno-senpai seemed to have the biggest bust, and there was something to be said for Koneko's cute little boobs too. They were so cute! "Um, thank you for having me. I'll be in your care."

"Oh you'll be in there care all right. Especially recovering from broken body syndrome." Naruto commented, remembering when Jiriaya had been admitted to the Konoha hospital after pissing off some of the more powerful female kunoichi.

Issei merely whimpered, trying to not be disturbed by the vicious glares from most of the room. He noticed that Naruto was restraining Koneko form throwing another Kunai, more than likely at what made him a man. Rias had a disapproving look while Akeno?

"Ara ara Issei. It seems like you need to be punished." Akeno stated as lightning arced between her fingers.

Rias smiled, or tried to smile. She didn't quite succeed, so she eventually gave up.

Deciding to give it up as a lost cause, she continued speaking. "As you know, I am Rias Gremory, the one behind me is Himejima Akeno. The person leaning against the wall is Yuuto Kiba, and the two people..." her eyebrow twitched again, "Sitting on the couch are Toujo Koneko and Uzumaki Naruto. We, that is to say, all five of us, are Devils."

…

…

As the silence stretched on, with only the sound of Koneko's purring to accompany the chirping of crickets, Issei could only sit there, blinking stupidly as he tried to come to grips with what he had just been told.

"Kami and I thought I was dense." Naruto muttered, much to the agreement of his parents and sensei.

Rias and the rest of her peerage, minus Koneko who was blissfully purring away, remembering this event. They were curious if having Naruto there would make anything different.

"Eh?" he scratched the back of his head, "Could you... repeat that? I could have sworn you just said you guys were Devils..."

"We are," Rias confirmed. To further emphasis her point, she, Akeno, Kiba and Naruto all sprouted black devil wings from their backs. Koneko would have done so as well, but, well, she was still in happy-happy land.

"It disturbs me that Koneko doesn't even register that she needs to help with the introduction." Rias said as calmly as she could.

Which was not at all.

Naruto could only give a wavering smile, more than wanting to laugh at the situation his story counterpart was in.

Issei could only stare at the wings coming from behind everyone else in shock.

"Wait!" He pointed at them, yelling his head off in surprise. "So you guys really are Devils!"

"I don't see why you're so surprised," said Naruto, smiling down at the girl on his lap. She really was just too adorable for her own good. "You're a Devil too, after all."

"Huh?" That comment through Issei for a loop. Him? A Devil? What nonsense was this? Wouldn't he know if he was a devil or not? Shouldn't there be some kind of sign or something? Aside from an irritating rash on his skin that he got a while ago, he did not feel any different. And he didn't have any desire to go out and sacrifice puppies or something.

A smack was heard, as all eyes turned towards Rias. The Gremory heir was heard muttering, though that didn't stop most of the room form chuckling at the devils exasperated state. Naruto could only chuckle, remembering his own words at discovering he was a devil.

"Just look at your back," Rias suggested. "You have wings just like the rest of us."

"I do?" Issei's question was answered by the sound of cloth tearing. Looking behind him, the boy found himself in shock to see that he really did have wings sprouting from his back. Black devil wings that reminded him of a bats, much like the ones everyone else was sporting.

This just seemed to depress him.

"You mean your existence as a massive pervert was not already depressing?" Naruto idly commented, throwing a glance at his teacher. Kakashi merely scoffed, whipping out his favorite Icha Icha, before realizing who he had done it in front of.

The next second several adamantine chains wrapped around both Kakashi and his book. He dared not turn to where he knew Kushina was, already imagining her hair waving around as if it were the angry tails of a certain fox. The next second saw the Icha Icha book ripped from his hands and shredded into confetti. The man silently wept as the confetti shower rained down on him.

Kushina harrumphed before motioning for Minato to continue. He did, but noticed the devils shocked and awed looks.

"I really am a Devil!" The boy nearly wailed as he crumbled to his knees. As he pressed his hands against the floor to keep himself from falling, all those present watched as a small, gray raincloud appeared over the second year student's head and began sprinkling him in a light drizzle.

Cue massive sweatdrop.

"Anyways," Rias cleared her throat and tried to ignore the boy who was getting her floor wet with that strange raincloud. Just where had it come from anyways? Some kind of strange Devil power that she did not know of? "I reincarnated you as a Devil and my servant after you were killed by a Fallen Angel a few days ago and... um..." the girl trailed off uncertainly as the boy continued looking like a despondent young man who had just been dumped by his ex-girlfriend. Or stabbed through the chest with a light spear by his ex-girlfriend. "Are... are you even listening to me?"

Issei could only look away in embarrassment. While he had not been as bad as his counterpart at being revealed he had turned into a devil, it came too close for comfort. A quick glance told him that his King was more than ready to let Akeno 'punish' him.

The ninjas just snickered at the position the boy was getting himself into.

No. No he wasn't.

"Akeno." Rias said with a sweet smile. One that did not match with the look in her eyes, like that of a upperclassman looking down on a lower. "I believe Issei could benefit form a little punishment. Don't you agree?"

"Ara ara, of course Buchou."

"If you need one of the spare bedrooms can be used." Margaret piped up, a small yet equally disturbing smirk on her face.

"Noted." Rias idly noted.

Issei was currently in the middle of a midlife (or is that young life?) crises. He had just been told he was a devil and he had wings on his back and this was on top of everything else that had happened this week. Not only that, but he still had yet to see a pair of real life boobs!

It was official, he really was going insane.

"More like growing more stupid with perverseness." Kushina whispered so that only the Ninja, and though she didn't know it Koneko, could hear. Everyone but Kakashi snickered. The jonin merely scoffed, not believing for a second that his student would group the boy with him.

Naruto sighed as he watched the depressed kid get soaked to the bone by that strange cloud of rain. Deciding that he should do something about this ― because seeing the normally care free if incredibly perverted second year have a look of someone who had just had his puppy killed was pathetic ― he carefully set Koneko down and stood up.

He didn't get to move very far as the white haired girl in question grabbed his sleeve. The blond looked down at the girl, who was giving him large, puppy dog (or would that be kitten?) eyes that nearly had him bending down and scooping her back into his arms.

Rais and Kushina were biting their lips, debating on whether to scoop up the Neko girl themselves, though Koneko seemed to have fallen asleep while laying on Naruto's lap. Even Kakashi and Minato nodded at their son's and students' words about the neko girl being cute.

Was this how most women felt when dealing with cute things? God he hoped not. Naruto didn't want to become a woman. He was perfectly happy being a man, thank you very much.

Naruto could only groan, more than realizing why he would think of that. One did not create a jutsu like he had when he was younger without knowing a few things about women.

"Don't worry," he told Koneko as he patted her head. "I'll be right back."

"Uuuu, okay," Koneko mumbled. She looked up at him with her big, amber colored eyes. "But come back soon."

Guh. That look should be illegal. Naruto was almost overwhelmed by the cute.

Several squeals of pure joys came from the women, who blushed as the rest of the group gave them funny looks.

"Don't worry. I won't be more than a few seconds." Koneko finally let go of his shirt sleeve, and Naruto turned to look at Rias, who was looking very unsure of what to do. Not that he blamed her. "Rias." He got her attention. "Do you mind if I...?" he gestured over to the still despondent Issei.

"Not at all," Rias looked relieved. She really didn't know what to do in this situation. Most people went through shock when they realized they had been turned into a Devil, but she had never seen someone look so depressed before. And her floor was now soaking wet from that raincloud.

A twitch of irritation could be seen on the heir's face. Hopefully her pawn could reimburse her for it.

"Thanks," Naruto flashed her a quick grin before turning around and walking over to Issei. Without pause or hesitation, the blond grabbed the boy by the back of his collar, hauling him to his feet, and began dragging him along as he walked towards the door.

"Oi! What do you think you're doing!?"

"Don't worry, I just have to explain a few things. I think you'll appreciate what I have to tell you..." Naruto's voice faded into the distance as he left the room and walked down the hall.

Naruto could only groan as he realized what he was probably going to tell Issei. His father must have had the same thought. One found ways to motivate a pervert after being with them for extended periods of time on training trips. Doubly so for a self-proclaimed 'super pervert'.

"So... what do you think Naruto-san wanted to tell Issei?" asked Kiba, finally deciding to speak up for the first time since they got to the clubroom.

Nothing good." Kushina muttered, realizing why both her son and his father had sheepish looks.

"Who knows," Rias said, shrugging her shoulders helplessly as she gave an 'I'm just as clueless as you' look. "I just hope that whatever it is, it get's Issei to stop moping." She didn't think her carpet could take much more water damage.

"You better hope I don't need a new carpet Issei." Rias stated, as Issei hoped his counterpart didn't need to get his King a new rug.

The thing looked more expensive than his porn collection!

"... I want more head petting."

Everyone sweatdropped as Koneko spoke in the monotone voice she was so well known for. It was even stranger because of what she was talking about.

"Ara, ara."

Everyone except for Akeno that is, who really just looked amused by the girl's unusual antics.

"Of course you would." Rias muttered, much to her queen's enjoyment.

A few minutes after they left, Issei came running into the room, a fire in his eyes. He went straight towards a stunned Rias, who almost took a step back when the perverted male got right in her face.

"Is it true that if I get strong enough I can have a harem!?"

A dull smack could be heard, as Naruto rubbed the back of his head. Kushina had a ticked off look on her face, While Issei was trying to make himself as small as possible. He really hoped that Koneko would not throw more of those kunai at him. Those things looked sharp!

Issei felt a cold shiver of fear as he swiveled to look at his King and Queen, both with their own looks of exasperation and sadism.

Yes, sadism can be an expression if one knows what to look for.

"Uh..." Rias was at a loss for words. Just what did Naruto tell this boy? "I... I guess. If you get strong enough, you can eventually be considered a high-class devil and have your own peerage, which can be like a harem... sort of..."

Rias merely groaned, wondering if the devils were after her for acquiring a Longinus pawn.

Naruto, Kushina and Minato could only send the girl looks filled with pity. They had known experienced plenty of what Issei could potentially become.

She trailed off when she saw Issei's face light up even more. The young man grinned, his eyes burning with an unyouthful (as Gai would say)

Cue the resident pervert and friend of said Gai scoffing.

fire as his hands clenched into fists.

"Uoohhh yeah!" The shout was so startling and loud that Rias took a step back. "I want to be a Devil! Now I can throw away all of my porno mags!" He shouted without shame.

Then he crouched down, a look of utter defeat on his face, his index finger drawing circles on the floor.

"No, I can't do that. Those are my treasures. There's no way I could give them up just because I have a harem... porn and sex are two different things..."

"Good Kami, I feel like I need a shower." Naruto muttered. Idly he moved his kunai pouch to one of his storage seals, as the Neko girl's murderous glare sent all sorts of warning signals for there to be no sharp and pointy objects around at the moment.

The rest of the group could only look at the pawn with pitying looks, ticked off twitches, and sadistic glee.

"When you said we might have an idiotic little brother join our peerage, I hadn't realized he would be so... enthusiastic..." Akeno tried to find the right word to describe the boy. Well, enthusiastic was certainly an accurate description of Issei, though lecherous would have worked much better.

"He's certainly... unique," Rias tried to be diplomatic. Failing that, she turned her head to look at Naruto as he sat back down again and was immediately glomped by Koneko. "Just what did you say to him?"

"Yes, by all means share with the group." Rias said sweetly. The words 'other me' were on the tip of his tongue before he noticed the look on his mothers face.

"I just explained one of the many perks he could get if he works really hard at being a good Devil," Naruto explained with an amused grin as he went back to pampering his cute little kohei. "Being a male, and one who is used to dealing with people like him, I knew how to explain his situation in a way that would help him get over his issues quickly."

"Right," Rias looked over at the now fired up Issei and wondered if using his perverseness to make him get over being a Devil was the best move.

Probably not.

"Agreed." Chimed Kushina and Rias. Naruto and Minato shared a look and, in honor of their late sensei refrained from answering.

Well, if nothing else, at least the boy would now be receptive to her teachings. That is, if he could concentrate long enough to actually learn anything.

"Our race has two enemies."

Once Issei had calmed down from his 'harem high', Rias began to teach the boy some of the basic information he would need to know for his new life as a Devil.

"Angels and Fallen Angels. Fallen Angels are Angels that have fallen from grace, signified by their black wings. They are Angels who were cast out of heaven and sent to hell due to their wicked nature and impure thoughts."

Naruto, who already knew most of this information being shared to the other boy, didn't pay as much attention to the lecture. Instead, he was focusing his time on the girl who had curled up in his lap. He did keep an ear out, though, just in case Rias said something she hadn't mentioned yesterday.

Rias made it a point to ignore the ninja and Rook, though the twitching of her mouth was seen by several of the group.

"Devils want to retain control of hell while the Fallen Angels are trying to take it over. We have been battling the Fallen Angels ever since."

"Huh?" Issei scratched the back of his head. He looked very confused.

"Never have I seen a more dense person when it comes to subjects not perverted." Naruto deadpanned. A pervert he may have been, but Jiriaya was still one of the more powerful shinobi of the world.

"We Devils make pacts with humans for a price in order to obtain power via their desires, whereas the Fallen Angels take control of humans and use them to destroy Devils. Moreover," Rias continued, heedless of the blank look on Issei's face. "God has tasked many Angels with the goal of destroying both the Fallen Angels and us Devils, making the situation a three-way stand off. It's been like this for a long time now."

That was the gist of everything, though not absolutely everything. This was just the bare bones basic facts. Rias didn't want to bombard Issei with too much information right now. Going into a more detailed lecture about the history of the three factions would probably take several months to learn. What she told him now should be enough for him to understand his situation.

"Do you understand everything I just told you?"

Naruto watched with an amused look on his face as Issei began scratching at his cheek, his confusion more than evident.

I think I need ot let Sona know she owes me a favor or two." Rias whispered her queen.

"Ara ara. Blackmail Rias?"

Rias just smiled as they continued the story.

"Eh, not really. All this stuff about Devils and Angels and Fallen Angels is really too complicated for a normal high school student like me."

Everyone looked at Issei with a massive bead of sweat that literally looked like a drop of water forming on the side of their heads, Naruto especially. He might not be the sharpest kunai in the set, but even Naruto was not that stupid. He could understand things so long as they weren't explained in an overly complicated way. Granted, he probably wouldn't have been able to make sense of Rias' lecture when he was 12, but that would have been more due to a lack of caring than anything else.

He hated listening to lectures.

Kushina smiled, more than a little happy that her son shared her intense hatred, erm dislike of lectures.

Even Koneko was now staring at Issei like he was some kind of idiot (which he kind of was, though Naruto was being hypocritical in his thoughts).

No. Wait. Koneko was actually glaring at him because his inability to understand his situation had caused Naruto to stop petting her. Never mind.

"Wow." Kiba muttered, sarcasm in his voice. "Your denseness caused a petting emergency."

Issei could only look at the pretty boy with a betrayed expression. He was not sure if he wanted to look Koneko's way.

"I don't have any more kunai on me, sorry." Yep don't look over there at the moment.

"What about this girl," Rias decided to try a different approach and handed Issei a photograph she had grabbed from off the desk. Issei took the photo from her and looked at it.

"Yuuma-chan!?" He said in shock. Staring him in the face from within the confines of the photo was none other than the girl who tried to kill him... and suceeded. "Where did you get this!?"

"That's the girl that almost killed you and Naruto-kun," Rias told him. "She's actually a Fallen Angel."

"But then... this means she really does exist!"

"Yes," Rias nodded, "She really exists. I suspect she erased herself from everyone's minds to keep from being discovered."

"AH, so that's how the supernatural has stayed under the radar." Minato stated. He was wondering if they had a means of mind manipulation like some of the more subtle Yamanka techniques.

"But then wait," Issei suddenly paused as he realized something. "If you know about Yuuma-chan, then that means..." he looked over at Naruto, who had gone back to petting a newly blissed out Koneko, stood up and pointed an accusing finger at the blond ass that he felt insanely jealous of. "You knew about Yuuma-chan all along! Didn't you!?"

"Took you long enough to figure out," Naruto smirked.

"Why did you tell me you didn't know her then!?" asked an angry and somewhat distraught Issei.

"Because I thought it would be funny."

"Ditto." Replied Naruto with a grin.

Issei really wanted to punch the blonde's face.

The answer he received actually caused Issei to facefault. His face smacking into the ground, the lecherous high school student groaned at his misfortune.

He lifted his head a few seconds later to look at a slightly unsure Rias.

"So wait, you said you had reincarnated me as a devil after she killed me, right?" Rias nodded, still looking a bit concerned by how Issei was acting. "Then, then why did she try to kill me in the first place? I mean, I've never been involved in any of this Devil and Fallen Angel stuff before. So why me?"

"So many questions." Naruto commented, more than ready to tease the young man. Sue him, he hadn't had this much fun messing with anyone for a while now.

"I suspect it's because you have a Sacred Gear," Rias explained as Issei stood back up. She looked very relieved to finally be getting down to one of the main topics she wanted to bring up. Just how things had taken so long to get to this point was beyond her.

"You'd be surprised how perverts came completely derail conversations." Minato muttered, remembering many times Jiriaya had gotten off topic in conversations.

"Sacred... Gear?" Issei frowned, his head lowering and his brows furrowed as he adopted a thoughtful pose. "I could have sworn I've heard that before."

Akeno decided to pick up some of the slack here and began explaining what a Sacred Gear was to Issei. "Sacred Gears are basically artifacts given to humans by the original God from the bible to enact miracles on earth. Only humans or human hybrids are born with Sacred Gears, though they can show up within the ranks of devils and angels if the human possessing the Sacred Gear is turned."

"Sounds fishy if you ask me." Kushina muttered. These items seemed to follow no rhythm, and made those that worked for their strength seem like chumps! Her thoughts were echoed with the rest of the ninja group.

"Issei," Rias got the boy's attention as she pointed at him. "You have one of those Sacred Gears within you. A very powerful one if I'm not mistaken, which is the reason that Fallen Angel tried to kill you. Most likely, she was ordered to by the hire ups who feared whatever Sacred Gear you possess."

Issei stared at the red haired beauty for several long, silent moments.

Right before he exploded and took her words in an entirely wrong way.

"EH!?" The lecherous second year grabbed his crotch, which he was almost positive the girl was pointing to (she wasn't, but he thought she was). "I know I'm a super healthy and viral guy, but are you telling me that my penis is actually a super famous tool nicknamed The Sacred Gear!?"

Several glares, each at a differing levels of intensity, made the pawn squirm in his seat. Even sweet Asia was trying to be supportive, but seemed to be more inclined for a scolding look.

"Sorry, here you go." At that statement a Kunai imbedded itself in the wall next to his head. Paling rather rapidly he noted that Koneko had a pouch Naruto was wearing when he first showed up.

"Condiser this survival and etiquette training." Naruto supplied, as Koneko eyed a rather dangerous looking shuriken. "From what you said Asia can heal almost anything, so have fun."

Issei was absolutely certain that the blonde was talking to Koneko more than him.

Within his mind, Issei conjured up an image of various women coming to claim his 'Sacred Gear' for themselves. He saw them seeking it out, fighting over it, killing over it. Wars started simply because all the women in the world wanted his famous 'Sacred Gear'.

By this point Akeno had lightning arcing through her fingers, as Kiba backed away, dragging Asia to sit with the ninja's for the moment. Rias merely sent her pawn an all too sweet smile. One that usually preceded beating from one of the various clubs he would peek on.

It would have been nice to see so many beautiful ladies fighting over his Sacred Gear, but if a war got started over him, then wouldn't his life be in jeopardy? Who knows how many women would fight over him and try to claim him for themselves. What if he ended up getting caught in the crossfire of one of those wars and was accidentally killed? What then?

As Issei's mind began taking a most unusual and lecherous turn, the others in the room watched the perverted boy's mind run rampant. No, really. There was actually a large viewing bubble that appeared over Issei's head and was showing his thoughts to all of them like it was some kind of movie.

"Another ability of the perverted. Koneko deadpanned, as Akeno electrified several kunai before handing them back.

Needless to say, the sweatdropping would not be stopping any time soon.

Issei quickly leapt form the couch, running for his life as Koneko chased him with the newly electrified Kunai, with some normal Shuriken. He didn't get far before Koneko caught him by his collar.

"The second room on your right is a training room." Margaret supplied, earning a small nod form the neko girl before dragging a despondent Issei into said room.

"May Kami have peace on his soul." Naruto said as he clapped his hands in prayer for the pervert, which was repeated by everyone else, some with more amusement than others.

After the incident where everyone got an unwilling glimpse inside of Issei's mind, the group of Devils collectively agreed to forget about the incident all together. No one felt safe thinking about what they saw, the perversion that the newest member of the peerage possessed. Yes. It was much better to just pretend the whole 'viewing bubble' thing never happened. Safer for their sanity that way too.

"Anyways, Issei, we're going to try to bring out your Sacred Gear," Rias continued. This was, of course, after she had managed to convince the boy that, no, they were not talking about his penis. It took a lot longer to convince him that his phallus was not a 'Sacred Gear' then it should have, but really, what else could they have expected when dealing with a boy known for his lecherousness throughout the school. "I want you to close your eyes and take a stance that makes you feel empowered."

"Could have worded that better." Rias muttered. Sure, she was trying to help her pawn out, but surely it couldn't be that difficult for her counterpart.

Right?

"A stance that makes me feel empowered?" The boy parroted, looking a little lost. He was now standing as opposed to sitting. Mainly because Rias had prompted him to stand and who was he to deny a beautiful girl what she wanted? Still, that didn't make him any less confused by her words. What did she mean take a stance? Was she talking about Sentai poses or something? Like Kamen Rider?

Naruto watched in amusement as the boy bent his legs and put his hands together like he was holding something in them. It was obvious the blond-haired Uzumaki was enjoying himself. And why wouldn't he? Issei looked absolutely ridiculous.

Most of the room burst out in laughter, while Rais could only hold her head in her hands.

Great, her pawn had almost ruined those shows for her now. A Small scream from the training room caused her to smile a little, her vindictive feeling a little satisfied.

"This is the Dragon Wave from my favorite manga, Doraku Soporu."

It was such a strange pose that Rias could not help but feel a small drop of sweat trickle down the side of her face. Really, what exactly was this boy doing? Did he expect the Sacred Gear would manifest as some kind of powerful energy blast that would annihilate everything in it's path?

"Don't you mean the Kamehameha Wave from Dragon Ball Z?" asked Naruto, butting into the moment.

"No!" Issei retorted with a scowl. "I'm not talking about that sell out of an anime! Doraku Soporu is way better than Dragon Ball Z, though I will admit it was pretty good until after the Cell Saga."

"It's like when you argue over your food of the gods." Kakashi muttered, earning a glare from not only his student, but his mother as well.

"Bah! If DBZ's a sell out, then Doraku Soporu is a copy cat. They totally stole the Dragon Wave from Master Roshi's Kamehameha Wave."

"Who asked you!?"

"Boys," Rias said with frazzled calm. "No fighting. Naruto-kun, just keep..." a vein popped up on her head. She couldn't believe she was about to say this. "Keep entertaining Koneko-chan. Issei, focus."

Rais could only sigh in exasperation. At least Koneko was currently not getting cuddly with Naruto at the moment. She was doing a more important job of punishing her wayward pawn.

"Yes, Buchou/Sure thing, Rias."

"Ara, ara," Akeno held a hand up to hide the amused smile on her face. "Things really do seem to be getting interesting these days." She gave a demure giggle. "These two are most definitely unique individuals."

Kiba chuckled. "That's a bit of an understatement. From what I've seen, nothing's going to be boring with these two around."

Naruto could only chuckle, more than agreeing with Rias' knight's statement. Kakashi also smiled, but for an entirely different reason.

Rias sighed as she listened to the conversation of her peerage and began instructing Issei on how to properly activate his Sacred Gear. Meanwhile, Naruto focused on the cutie sitting on his lap.

This would come as a surprise to most people, but this wasn't the first time he'd had a girl sitting on his lap. Or even the one hundredth time.

Naruto could only blush in embarrassment as his mother regarded him with a narrowed eye.

Of course, that sounded a lot more explicit than it actually was. The last time a girl sat on his lap had been when he was telling the children in Konoha a story about his past exploits (pranks), during the rebuilding process after Nagato destroyed the village. That time it had simply been the harmless act of a child wanting to be close to her hero as he shared his past with her and the other children.

All three of the adult ninja smiled, more than happy that Naruto received the praise and respect he deserved after so long. Naruto gave a small heartfelt smile, remembering when he had entertained the children of Konoha while they were rebuilding it. The devils also smiled at the heartwarming statement.

What was happening here was a bit different. Koneko had all the cuteness and adorableness one would expect of a kid (ie, her loli-like face), yet possessed the sensual body of a budding teenage girl (she may have been much more petite than Rias or Akeno, but that didn't mean she didn't have breasts or amazing hips. And dear god, she had the tightest little butt he had ever felt). This did cause a number of problems, as well as one problem that could become a serious issue if he let it grow.

And as soon as the heartfelt smiles came they went. Kushina, along with rias were looking at Naruto with cautious looks, while his sensei was secretly crowing that Jiriaya had converted him. Minato decided to stay out of it for the moment.

He figured that all the brain rushing to his sons face was more than enough punishment at the moment.

Thankfully, Naruto had experience when it came to keeping himself calm while in the presence of beautiful girls. You don't become the apprentice of Jiraiya and not get desensitized to things like nudity and sexual acts happening to and/or around you. Naruto had three years of dealing with women who worked at whore houses, taverns, and brothels. While most people never realized it, the blond had actually grown very used to nudity during that time and had never been bothered when seeing it in front of him.

"That is both a good and bad thing." Kushina stated out loud. Naruto only nodded, not needing to add more fuel to the fire that was his pride slowly roasting away.

Rias now knew why the blonde didn't act like the normal teenager at least.

It probably helped that he had created Oroike-chan (his female form when under henge) when he was younger, which required a lot of knowledge about women's bodies.

Kushina just gained a tic mark, while Minato could only shake his head. Kakashi remembered fondly when he heard that the Third had been beaten by Naruto's self-made technique. The blackmail was too good for the next few mission he took without the team.

Not that he would ever tell anyone that. He wasn't going to let himself get beaten over something that happened a long time ago. No way, no how.

The phantom pains from one of Sakura's beating for that particular technique came to the blonde ninja's mind. Especially the one that he shared with Konohamura.

A sudden spike in energy had Naruto's head snapping over towards Issei. It was strange, but ever since Rias healed his destroyed chakra coils, his sensing abilities had been much better than before. He wondered if it had something to do with his smaller coils no longer causing his own chakra to fluctuate so wildly.

Naturally, as soon as he began wondering about that he stopped. Thinking about chakra theory gave him a headache. That was why he left the theory to Sakura.

Naruto just chuckled, a little embarrassed at his less than stellar memory.

Looking at Issei, Naruto had to raise an eyebrow when he saw the thing that had appeared on his arm. It looked like a red, armored bracer with yellow accents and a green jewel on top of the back of Issei's hand. His fingers were uncovered, making it look like some kind of high tech disc shooter or something.

"That's your Sacred Gear," Rias said with a satisfied smile. She was quite proud of her pawn's accomplishment, despite the fact that activating his Sacred Gear really wasn't much of one. That didn't matter when dealing with someone of Issei's stature. In moments like this, Rias would take even the most minor of accomplishments with great satisfaction.

Rais merely looked away, trying to keep an air of formality. Which was promptly lost when a fresh scream came from the training area.

"Amazing!" Issei marveled at his bracer covered hand. "This looks awesome!"

Naruto had to agree, it did look kind of cool. It would have been better if it was orange, but since it was red, he wouldn't complain too much.

Minato and Kushina smiled at their child's love of orange.

"That Fallen Angel, Yuuma, thought that your Sacred Gear posed a threat, which is why she killed you."

"Eh? But wait," Issei looked over at Rias. "I'm still alive. So how...?"

"Just as you were about to take your last breath, you summoned me," Rias answered before he could finish his question. "Akeno, give Issei a simplified pentagram."

Akeno took out one and passed to the ninjas. The three seal masters were more than interested as they scrutinized it, leaving Kakashi to continue reading.

Akeno handed Issei a sheet of paper. On it was a circle, a pentagram. It looked very complicated, with a lot of strange characters and symbols that Issei couldn't make heads or tails of. Still, it did look kind of familiar...

"I told you before that a Devil requires a signed contract in order to utilize a humans power," Rias lectured as Issei stared at the pentagram. Naruto also listened from where he sat, but didn't move. Or to be more accurate, he couldn't move. Koneko was still purring in his lap. "With this, humans can summon devils, after which they forge an agreement based on the fulfillment of a humans wish, taking power equivalent to the wish they grant."

"So like the summoning contracts, but to a lesser extent." Naruto commented as Minato nodded along.

"Summoning contracts."

Naruto nodded as he explained. "Powerful ninjas can sign a summoning contract, which allows them to summon powerful allies. Dad and I are signers of the toad contact, while Kakashi sensei was a summoner of the dog contract.

Even Naruto, who wasn't actually as stupid as he sometimes acted, thought the whole thing was needlessly complicated. He got the basics of it; Devils make a contract and grant a human their wish and in return are given power.

It was sort of like how summoning creatures required something from those who summoned them; toads required subservience to a degree and Snakes required sacrifices. In return, they would aid you in battle.

"So you a least have some idea about it." Rias commented, earning a grin from Naruto.

Still, learning the more intricate details of something had never been Naruto's strong point. It didn't help that he had a very short attention span.

"A very, Very short attention span. Kakashi commented without preamble. Naruto merely sent his sensei a fox-like grin, planning the numerous pranks he could do.

"In recent times, humans who can draw this kind of pentagram have become very rare, almost non-existent. That's why we were giving out simplified pentagrams to people with strong desires." Both Issei and Naruto looked at Rias. "Issei, you happened to be on the street that day, where you received one from one of our familiars passing out the forms."

Issei scrunched his face up as he tried to remember that moment. It took some effort, but he eventually remembered receiving the sheet of paper from a cute girl when he was waiting for Yuuma to meet him for their date.

Of course, remembering that moment also made him remember Yuuma stabbing him in the stomach. Needless to say, Issei could not help but feel a bit depressed.

Another scream punctuated the last sentence. Everyone just wrote it off while thinking 'He'll be fine.'

Rias continued on, either unaware or ignoring Issei's increasing depression. She placed the back of her fingers against her cheek and offered the lecherous pervert a coy look. "In your dying moment, your wish was to at least die in the arms of a beautiful girl. When I was summoned, I discovered that you had a Sacred Gear so I saved your life."

Issei nodded his head to everything he was being told. It made sense to him, sort of. He didn't really get a lot of what they were telling him, but he understood the basics. He had been killed, Rias saved him by turning him into a devil, and if he wanted to become a harem-king he would need to grow stronger. And really, that last part was all he needed to know.

Yes, not even being a Devil meant anything to him so long as he could get his harem.

He was perverted like that.

"Not there!" A shout/scream came from the training room. The silence that permeated the scream gave way to Koneko dragging a comatose Issei and dropping him on the floor to be healed. An instant later Koneko had curled up in Naruto's lap, more than satisfied with the beating she had given her fellow peerage member. Asia frantically started healing the pervert, who was earning no sympathy from the rest of the group.

Despite not being the kind of person who enjoyed learning new things, Naruto did find himself strangely fascinated when Rias began explaining the Devil hierarchy.

There were apparently four different classes of Devils; lower, middle, upper and elite class, otherwise known as the ultimate class.

The lower class Devils were the ones like him, Issei, and the other members of Rias' peerage; humans and hybrids who were reincarnated as Devils. Essentially, all new Devils were of the lower class. The middle class was where Devils finally gained recognition and were given the titles of either baronet/baroness or knight/dame. After that was the upper class, where Devils could be given titles such as Marquess, Margrave/Margravine, Count/Countess, Viscount/Viscountess, or Baron/Baroness. And finally, there was the elite or ultimate class. This was the highest level one could ascend to among the Devil hierarchy, with titles consisting of Demon Lord, Great King, Arch Duke, Duke and Prince/Princess.

"Huh. So it's like the ranking system we ninja use." Naruto commented, earning a nod from the rest of the ninja's. at the questioning look form the devil's Kakashi explained.

"Our system form weakest to strongest goes Genin, Chunin, Jonin and Kage. We don't have any of the fancy titles, though monikers sometimes pop up."

Naruto really didn't care much for the titles, or for gaining nobility. He had seen what most nobles were like. The Hyuga had been a bunch of stuck up pricks with their own heads shoved so far up their ass it was a wonder they could smell those incredibly fragrant gardens that littered their ridiculously large and expensive residence.

Kushina snorted, more than agreeing with her son's assessment of the Hyuuga clan.

No way in hell Naruto wanted to be like those guys.

Though, thinking on it, wasn't Rias a part of the nobility? She was a really awesome person from what he had seen so far. He enjoyed spending time with her. And she couldn't be the only one among the nobility who wasn't a stuck up snob.

Right?

It was Rias who snorted this time, more than remembering the various nobles of the underworld. Especially one womanizing bastard.

Well, whatever. Being a noble still didn't interest him. However, he did manage to pick up something from all this. Those who were considered Ultimate class Devils were supposed to be the strongest rank among their species. He supposed it was similar to an S-rank ninja, which were supposed to be ninja who had skills on par with a kage but weren't actually kage's, like the Sannin or members of the Akatsuki. They were recognized as the best and strongest amongst their peers.

In other words, they were the ultimate bad asses.

And so, Naruto finally found himself with a new goal in life. He would become an ultimate class Devil. No, he would become The Strongest Ultimate class Devil. The undisputed most powerful Devil in the entire world. Yes. That was his new goal.

"That's an, admirable goal." Rias hesitantly stated. From the vicious grin on the blonde ninja in fornt of her she could tell he was completely serious.

Too ambitious? Remember, this was the kid who, at the tender age of eight, decided he was going to become Hokage. Uzumaki Naruto never does anything half-assed. It was all or nothing with this guy.

"So if I become a noble, having a harem will no longer be a mere dream!?"

And there was her pawn's less than admirable goals to consider. The twitch of an unconscious Issei was his only response.

And, of course, there was also that guy. Naruto sighed and shook his head at Issei's words. The boy had a one track mind when it came to life. Harem this, harem that, harem-king. It was a wonder the boy had any thoughts in his head other than harem.

Truly, this boy must be Ero-sennin's reincarnation or something. That was the only logical explanation for how there could possibly be someone so perverted in this world.

"Agreed." Chimed three fourths of the ninja's. Kakashi merely continued reading, not dignifying the looks he was receiving from the other three ninjas.

"That's right," Rias smiled at the pair. "I expect you two to work hard from now on."

"Yes, Buchou/You've got it, Rias."

"Good, and for your first task," Rias showed them a flier with a pentagram on it. "You two are going to be handing out these fliers."

"EH!?"

~KatCHRP~

Issei felt like crying as he stood on the sidewalk, trying to hand out fliers to people. He knew he shouldn't be taking this so hard, but he just couldn't see how handing out fliers to people would help him gain a harem. Who ever heard of a harem-king handing out fliers?

Clearly, this boy never heard the term baby steps before.

"Or any steps for that matter." Rais muttered, remembering her current struggles with her pawn. Maybe this story would give her some ideas as to better motivate her pawn without the use of his perversions?

Hopefully?

"Cheer up, Ero-Debegame!" Naruto said cheerfully as he handed out another flier to someone, who smiled at him as they took it. Unlike Issei, who seemed to be having very little luck in handing out fliers, the blond was very good at sensing people who had strong desires. It was strange, while Naruto had been good at sensing negative emotions before thanks to Kurama, he had never been able to sense people's emotional state beyond that.

Was this a part of being a Devil? It did sound kind of like something they would be able to do. Well, whatever, he didn't care for semantics. The point was he could, and that was all that mattered to him.

"A good use of a devil's natural talents." Rias commented, more than impressed with the amount of fliers the blonde was distributing.

"Easy for you to say," Issei felt his jealousy spike as the blond managed to get another cute girl to take one of his fliers with a smile. How was he doing that!? "You're not having any problems handing out fliers."

"That's become I'm just that awesome," Naruto replied with a bright smile. Issei felt like punching his fellow reincarnated Devil's face in. "Anyways, the reason none of those people are taking your flier is because they don't have any desires. At least, none that would be enough for them to take a flier from a strange kid passing them out."

"I'm not strange," Issei pouted a bit before an uncertain look came to his face. "Am I?"

"Yes." Cam the response from various people in the group. An annoyed look came upon the now awake pawn. Asia merely rubbed the despondent pawns back in comfort.

Naruto laughed before finding another target, a female with brown hair and doe like eyes, and handed her a flier. There sure were a lot of women who had strong desires. He wondered why that was?

Naruto groaned, more than realizing his counterpart's dense mind when it came to the female population. Ha had gotten better in the last few years.

Kakashi merely giggled, knowing that his student was still one of the most dense romantic wise.

Then again, most woman seemed to have more wants then men. Males were easy with their desires, it usually consisted of a few things: food, money, alcohol, and sex. Guys were just uncomplicated like that. Girls on the other hand seemed to have a lot more things they wanted and some of that stuff was hard to get, like new expensive clothing and jewelery.

Did that mean he would have to get girls some jewelery? He hoped not. His bank account didn't have enough to afford stuff like that, though he could always steal it, he supposed.

Kushina merely sent her son a scathing look, which Naruto waved off.

"I would never do that, unless it's for a mission." The answer seemed to get his mother off his case.

Shaking his head, Naruto returned to the here and now. "Anyways, the reason you're not doing so well is because you're just trying to hand out fliers willy nilly. You need to find someone who has really strong desires, strong enough that they will take a flier from someone they don't know."

"How do I do that?" Issei was looking very awkward and confused by Naruto's words. Just how did you tell if someone had strong desires? Were they supposed to look or act differently than everyone else or something?

"You're a Devil, aren't you?" Naruto asked rhetorically. Another female passed him and he handed her a flier with a smile. "You should be able to feel out people who have strong desires."

"I'm getting the hang of it." Was one pawns rather un-confidant response. The restof the peerage merely smiled, encouraging Issei.

Issei frowned as he tried to 'feel' out people with strong desires. Unfortunately, this led to him getting slapped when he ended up staring at a girl for so long that his natural propensity for perversity had him looking at her breasts.

"Ugh, it's useless..."

"Yeah it looks like it." Naruto commented, more than a little amused hatt the pervert couldn't even concentrate correctly.

Naruto chuckled as he handed out another flier. "You know, if you keep sucking this bad, I'm going to hand out all these fliers before you hand out even one."

"I hate you," Issei grumbled as he glared at Naruto, who just smiled back.

"I bask in your hate."

Naruto merely smiled as Kakashi closed the book to hand it off. Before she accepted it Rias sent her pawn a rather inquiring look.

"So." Rias started with a small, sweet smile "What did we learn Issei?"

The Flinch, along with what he assumed a satisfied look form Koneko, caused Issei to start sweating.

Greetings everyone. Sorry for the delay, and i really have no reason than my own laziness.

Please forgive my laziness, as he has been properly caffeinated up.

Until next time
