Reading Devil Ninja

Chapter 4

By SandewrPally

Original story by The Engulfing Silence.

It was a good thirty minutes later that Issei was allowed to sit up from his seiza position on the floor, though he stumbled a bit due to his legs having fallen asleep. The amused looks from the rest of the group at the tongue lashing he had received caused the pervert to grumble, before a hand reached out to help him up.

Naruto had a small smile on his face as he pulled Issei up to his feet. The situation with Issei and Rias reminded him of the times that Tsunade would berate (beat) Jiriaya for his perverted ways. Patting the Issei on the back he retook his seat as Margaret stood, the book that they were reading magically appearing in her hands.

"While I am sure you would love to continue, it seems we are out of time for the moment. To get back just repeat the actions that helped you to arrive here in the first place." Margaret stated, as Theodore arrived to escort them out.

Both devils and ninjas nodded, realizing that they probably needed to get back to their respective homes before anything troublesome happened. Rais could only imagine the trouble her brother would cause if he was alerted that she had disappeared with the rest of her peerage. Naruto had similar thoughts, more than worried about the reaction from his friends and pseudo grandmother. As he was getting ready to leave he turned to his parents, who were having a quick talk with Kakashi about him being the current Hokage.

"Hey mom, dad." Naruto stated as he walked up to them. Kakashi nodded as he walked to the exit, more than happy to wait for his student to talk to his parents before they left.

"Soooo-" Naruto started before a soft snort form his mother caused the two men to chuckle, dispelling the small awkwardness of the situation.

"Don't worry about us son. We'll be here when you return." Minato stated as he rested a hand on his son's shoulder. Before he knew it Naruto had drawn both his parents into a hug, tears falling unbidden as the three melted into the shared embrace.

"I-Its good to see you two." The younger Uzuzmaki breath hitched as he tightened his arms around the group. Kushina and Minato merely sent each other small yet warm smiles, happy for this chance to meet and talk with their son. A quick cough from Kakashi caused Naruto to back up before sending him a white-toothed smile as he walked backwards towards Kakashi. Seeing that the Devils had already left Naruto looked back one last time before going through the door, blinding light all he saw as he seemed to lose consciousness.

Konoha

Both Naruto and Kakashi had to blink the spots out of their eyes as they became aware of their surroundings. The first thing they noticed is that they were in the Hokage's office, with several of their fellow shinobi and kunoichi around them. Each of them had questioning looks. Except for Tsunade, who looked ready to beat in both of the wayward ninja's heads if they didn't start explaining.

"So, here what happened." Naruto started, hoping that they wouldn't be sent to the Yamanka's for a mental health inspection.

One explanation later…

Everyone besides Kakashi was looking at Naruto with varied expressions. Tsunade and Sakura were sporting similar twitches in their eyes. Kiba had tilted his head to the side, wondering if his friend had been hit with a genjutsu or something. Shikimaru was rubbing the bridge between his eyes, muttering troublesome for what Naruto counted the fifth time in the short hour he had spent explaining.

"So let me get this straight." Tsunade started as her hand twitched, itching for some sake. "you activated a seal that neither you nor Kakashi could identify, got transported to this 'Velvet Room', met being that may or may not be devils, and read about a you that ended up in their universe. That about right?"

"I may have forgotten to mention my parents were there?" Naruto responded, more than a little embarrassed at forgetting that important tidbit.

Tsunade looked as if she was ready to punch him through a wall, but refrained from doing that.

"Look," Naruto pleaded "Think me crazy if you wish but at least give me a chance to prove that I'm telling the truth. The woman said that we could go back by putting chakra in the seal."

Tsunade and Sakura regarded him for a moment before sighing in resignation. "All right, I'll come with you tomorrow. If what you say is true, I won't have Ino root through your head to make sure you weren't under some elaborate genjutsu."

Naruto let out a sigh of relief before yawning. Saying goodbye Naruto left, followed by the rest of his friends before only Kakashi and Tsunade were left in the Hokage's office.

"You know he was telling the truth." Kakashi commented as he peered over his familiar orange book.

"I know. What do you make of this?"

"For starters, it's hilarious. Other than that I don't know why someone brought them together, or why they are focusing on this particular Naruto."

"And his parents that appeared?"

Kakashi let out a sigh as he closed his book and leaned back in his seat. "The real deal. Even after checking it with my sharigan they were not genjutsu, even had the same chakra affinities."

"I see. Well, I guess there's no use in worrying about it until tomorrow."

"Indeed. Have a good night Lady Tsunade."

"You too Kakashi."

Konoha

As Naruto was lying on his bed he tried to get in touch with the Kyuubi, only to be met with silence.

"Wonder if there is something wrong." The furball would usually heckle me before going to sleep."

Kuoh

Rias collapsed onto her chair leaning back as Akeno placed a teacup in front of her. Giving her queen an appreciative nod Rias took a sip before speaking up.

"What do you make of this Akeno?"

Her queen took a moment to respond, though Rias groaned seeing the familiar mischievous tinkle in her best friend's eyes. "It's not dull, that's for sure. And our dear rook seems to be smitten with our blonde ninja."

Rias promptly ignored the comment about her rook. The girl had been in a daze as the rest of the peerage went home. She was sure that the Neko girl would go back to the Velvet room just to be pampered by Naruto. "You know that's not what I meant. From the three chapters we read it seems to be following our lives? Will we know about the future? About what happens with-"

Rias sighed as she cut herself off. Just thinking about that particular problem was more than she was willing to deal with at the moment. Akeno knew exactly what her King was thinking about, but smiled as she decided to redirect the conversation.

"Enough about that." Akeno stated as she set down her tea "Seems like Koneko wasn't the only one that has a crush on a rather handsome blonde ninja. Something you want to tell your best friend Buchou?"

Rias groaned, knowing that Akeno would hound her about it for a while. Honestly she herself was looking forward to tomorrow, and learning more about Naruto's effect on their lives.

The Velvet Room

In a flash of light Naruto arrived back in the same room that he had yesterday, this time with Tsunade in tow. The Slug Sannin looked around, her trained Shinobi instincts detecting no hostile intentions from the few denizens she could see and detect.

"Tsunade?"

Homing in on a familiar voice Tsunade had to restrain herself from letting out a few tears as she saw Kushina with a happy and somewhat confused look. Her confusion was quickly replaced with elation as the Uzumaki leapt at the Slug Sannin, letting out fresh tears.

"It really is you." Tsunade muttered, before wrapping her arms around the woman that she considered her daughter, even with the relation to her on her Uzumaki side.

"Heh, you got old Baa-chan." A swift smack on top of her head caused Kushina to let out an 'eep' as she rubbed the spot that was hit. Turning her attention to another familiar face she smiled as Minato came up and gave her a hug, more than happy to see one of their best friends and family in all but blood. Off to the side Naruto had a massive knowing grin on his face as they all took a seat. A minute later Margaret came through on of the doors in the hallway book in hand.

"Ah, I see we have a new face in the Velvet Room. I am Margaret, one of the workers of this place."

"Tsunade Senju, fifth Hokage of Konohagakure."

As Tsunade went back to talking with Minato and Kushina Naruto looked around, expecting the devils to have arrived the same time they would. Now that he thought about it how id the time difference work? Time across dimensions? Timemensions?

The three older shinobi and kunoichi looked at Naruto, who was holding his head in pain. Before they could ask what was wrong the door that Naruto and Tsunade had arrived in opened again, this time with Rias, Akeno and Koneko stepping through.

The first thing the three devils noticed was the blonde woman who had a bust that if Issei were here would instantly get his attention. Though any breasts would get the perverted boys attention.

Rias shook her head, glad that Issei had gotten serious about his training for the moment.

"Hello there. I'm Rias Gremory. This is Akeno, my queen and Kone-" Rais paused as she noticed her rook was sending Naruto a pleading look. At least what she thought was a pleading look. For his part Naruto just gave the neko girl a small smile as they proceeded to take a seat on the couches from yesterday. "Koneko, my rook." Rias finished, a little miffed that her rook had not even waited to be introduced to the new person in the room.

Tsunade had gained a tic mark herself, hoping that Jiriaya had not corrupted her pseudo grandson in the way of the pervert. Despite having all faith in the blonde Uzumaki, Jiriaya was not a spy master for nothing. The fact that Naruto had resisted the super perverts more overt attempts meant nothing for his more subtle attempts. She had never been able to get the full details of Naruto's training from Jiriaya now that she thought about it. Making a note to interrogate Naruto later she smiled towards the two devils not being petted into a blissful euphoria.

"Tsunade Senju, fifth Hokage of Konohagakure. Nice to know that my shinobi were not going insane."

"Baa-chan!" Naruto groaned out.

"You have to admit that this-" Tsunade motioned around her, before taking a seat next to Kushina. The Uzumaki matriarch was fawning over how cute how Naruto and Koneko looked. "Seemed more than a little far-fetched."

"Yeah I know." Naruto muttered. "So who is going to read?"

Before anyone could blink Akeno had the book in her hands, opening it to where they had left off yesterday. Rias was worried at how excited she was to read about Naruto and their lives.

Chapter 4: Learning the Ins and Outs of Devilhood

"We're all finished, Rias."

Naruto was wearing a mile wide grin on his face as he waltzed into the clubroom without any sense of propriety and headed straight for the couch. Trailing in behind him was an exhausted looking Issei. The young pervert was breathing hard and looked like he had run twelve marathons without pause.

"What did you do to my pawn now Naruto." Rias sent the blonde an amused look.

Naruto put his free hand to his chin, taking a thinking pose. Which was ruined by the purring girl in his lap.

"Who knows?"

The contrast between the two couldn't be more different. The blond bundle of energy and excitement versus the brunette who looked like he just got finished running 300 kilometers in less than a week. Where Issei looked about ready to fall over where he stood, Naruto was not only as fresh as a spring daisy but was retaining that goofy grin he seemed to where almost twenty-four-seven. It really did show the others just how different the two were.

"It's like comparing Lee to Shikimaru." Naruto commented, earning a snort of laughter from Tsunade.

As had now become an almost customary happening, the moment the young Uzumaki was sitting down, Koneko (who for some reason was always in the clubroom, always) crawled onto his lap so she could be pampered.

"Surprisingly Koneko finishes most of her contracts first." Rias commented, trying to divert her attention from both sets of Ninja and Neko girl.

Rias' delicate right eyebrow began twitching. This was also customary.

Akeno glanced at her King, noticing the same eye twitching in annoyance.

"I see," she took breath, then blew some of her bangs out of her face, causing her long, beautiful red hair to sway. "That was much faster than I expected it would take. I had over 15,000 fliers in there, and you guys finished it within a single day."

"That is a lot of fliers for a first time devil." Rias commented, more than impressed with Naruto and Issei. Though she suspected Naruto was responsible for more fliers than Issei.

"What can I say?" Naruto was grinning broadly as Koneko purred in his lap, his hands idly caressing her hair and ears. It was a very good thing he had been taught how to control his body's functions by Jiraiya ("What is this woman doing to me!" "Resistance training, gaki. You need to learn how to resist a woman's sexual allure or you may fall prey to seduction assassinations." "That would have been much more believable if you weren't writing in that damn book of yours, ya perv!")

A look from both his mother and pseudo grandmother caused Naruto to start sweating. He looked to his father, who shook his head, then to the devils who had more than amused looks.

"All right yes that actually happened." Naruto admitted, more than happy that either Kakashi or Issei were not present. Kushina and Tsunade both let out sighs, knowing that Jiriaya had the best of intentions. Most of the time.

or the girl's cute little rear pressing up against him would have caused a very awkward situation to arise. Thank Kami for small miracles. "I'm just awesome like that."

Naruto looked away from the gazes directed to him. He wasn't sure what would happen if he did mention that yes, he was having a reaction to the cute girl in his lap.

"And what am I?" Grunted Issei as he sat down and cast an annoyed glare at Naruto. "Chopped liver?" The perverted boy didn't know how anyone could constantly be that bright and cheery, but it was beginning to piss him off.

Naruto smiled, along with his parents and Tsunade. That was one thing that they loved about their blonde knuckleheaded ninja. Rias and Akeno had amused expressions as the queen continued to read.

No. Wait. He was just pissed that the cute little Koneko once again chose to sit on Naruto's lap and not his. He was a good guy, wasn't he? What did that guy have that he didn't?

"Should it be listed alphabetically or categorially?" Naruto mused, earning some chuckles from the group.

Elsewhere Issei had the urge to punch Naruto in the face before having to doge another swipe from Kiba.

A lot of things, but Issei would be better off not knowing that.

"Well," Naruto's grin turned positively mischievous. "I didn't want to say anything but..." he trailed off suggestively, leaving Issei's head to slump down and a small rain cloud to randomly appear over his head. Said cloud of rain soon began sprinkling a light drizzle onto the brown haired boy's head, causing his hair and shirt to get wet.

Everyone just looked on, a little freaked out by the more outlandish cloud than anything.

A grieving pervert was the norm for those that knew Jiriaya. Or Issei for that matter.

Why was everyone always picking on him? Was it because he was perverted? It wasn't like he could help that. Everybody was perverted to some degree or another. So what if he was just a bit... okay, a lot more open about his lecherous intentions than others. That just meant girls wouldn't need to worry about him having a secret agenda. What you see is what you get with him.

That's not always a good thing, Issei.

"It is most assuredly not." Tsunade ground out. She already had to deal with one Jiriaya. That was more than enough for one lifetime!

"Here you two are." Akeno graced the pair with her beautiful smile as she set down a cup of tea in front of each of them.

"Thank you, Akeno-chan." Naruto grinned at the Nadeshiko girl as she stood back up and pressed the carrying tray against her bosom.

"That grin looks disturbingly familiar." Tsunade muttered, much to Naruto's agreement.

Akeno smiled in return.

"You're very welcome, Kitsune-kun."

"Naruto shrugged before accepting the tea that Theodore had provided. There were worse nicknames that the devil could have thought of.

"You're not going to stop with that, are you?" asked Naruto. His answer was a giggle and a shake of the head from Akeno.

The blond sighed, but did not dwell on Akeno's nickname for very well. There were far worse things he could think of then to be called Kitsune-kun. At least she had gotten it right and called him a fox instead of a cat.

Not that there was anything wrong with cats. He just didn't like it when people nicknamed him incorrectly.

Memories of some of the more creative nicknames came to mind. Based on the look from his mother, she knew his pain very well.

"Hmmm..."

Naruto eyed the tea with a speculative gleam. Then he looked down at the girl nuzzling his chest with her nose and cheek, whose head he was still petting with both hands.

He went back to looking at the tea.

"Just how am I going to drink this?"

Rias chuckled, felling more than a little vindicated at the blonde's predicament. She was rather certain her counterpart was as well.

Rias nearly snorted as the blond tried to take one of his two hands away from the task of pampering Koneko, only to have the girl snatch it back and place it on her head. She then looked at him with those large, amber orbs, causing Naruto to cave like a wet paper towel.

"Even I have to admit that is rather cute." Tsunade stated, much to the agreement of the rest of the group. Kushina was cooing at the image, before turning to the couple next to her. Naruto was groaning as he set down the tea and started to pet her with both hands.

As the boy looked on, hopelessly trying to figure out how he could drink his tea while petting Koneko, Rias felt a sense of vindication. It served him right for getting so close to the Rook anyways. They had just met all of four days ago and already the two were practically inseparable!

He was a member of her peerage, not Koneko's. Koneko didn't even have a peerage!

"My my buchou. So jealous of your rook." Akeno commented sweetly. Rias chose not to answer and preserve some dignity.

"Since you've both finished handing out fliers, let's move on to the next step."

Rias decided the best thing to do would be to separate the two by starting Naruto and Issei on the next part of the new lives they would be leading as Devils. It was for their own good anyways. They needed to begin forming contracts and Koneko already had several that needed to be completed. Really, it was for the best all around.

"Someone's in denial!" Kushina sand, causing blushes to appear on rias' and Naruto's face. Koneko just sent her king a small glare. She was in too much pleasure to do much else.

She ignored the voice that told her she just didn't like seeing Koneko hogging all of Naruto's attention. It wasn't like she was jealous or anything. No. Definitely not.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Several snickers came from the assembled group as Rias turned away with a blush. It was a good reason!

"Alright!" Issei cheered, clenching his hands into fists and pumping them in excitement. "I've finally graduated from doing miscellaneous jobs!"

"If our first task was handing out fliers in order to build our base of clientele, then our next one is forming contracts with the humans who have taken our fliers. Am I right?" Naruto speculated.

"Huh, it's not unlike the jobs that are assigned to the villages Shinobi." Tsunade commented, earning her several nods while Naruto was scowling.

He better not have to chase any damn cat!

"That's right," Rias said, pleased that he was so quick on the uptake. It was even enough to make her forget her minor irritation towards Koneko for sitting on Naruto's lap and getting pampered by him. "Akeno, if you would?"

"Of course, Buchou," Akeno stepped into the center of the room. Naruto watched with interest as the raven-haired girl closed her eyes and furrowed her brows in concentration.

The ground beneath her began to light up. A large circle about a meter or so in circumference drew itself on the ground, glowing a deep red.

This drew the attention of the three trained Fuinjutsu users, who were analyzing the runic pattern on the screen.

It was a very complex circle, with lettering of a language Naruto did not understand running alongside the outer layer. There were multiple, elongated ovals that spanned across the entire construct, six in all, forming what looked almost like an atom.

About a foot from the outer layer was another circle. This one kept getting cut off whenever it ran into a line from the ovals. Running along the inner edge were several symbols, and located within the approximate location of where the line would be inside of the ovals were larger versions of the same symbol. There was another oval surrounding it and within the oval was a twelve pointed star formed from the multiple elongated ovals that spanned the entire circumference of the whole circle. Located between each point was a symbol and in the center of the star was one final circle.

"Interesting." Minato commented. "It seems like the runes coalesce to the user…or group in this case."

"Probably more utility in that one seal than several mid-grade seals back home." Kushina muttered, more than impressed with the array. She couldn't wait to see some of its functions.

Naruto had seen many things in his life, and though he was not a master at the art, he had been pretty damn good at making seals after Jiraiya taught him during their three year training trip. Even with everything that he knew on sealing and all the seals he had seen, the Uzumaki had never seen something that looked so damn complicated. And this girl was making it like it was nothing.

It was damn impressive.

"Why thank you Kitsune-kun." Akeno replied to the comment in the book, though directed it to the present Naruto. Naruto just gave a thumbs-up to the Queen of Rias' peerage.

As Akeno began to chant in an unknown language (to him at least), Naruto decided to let his curiosity overtake him. "What exactly is this?"

Rias turned from where she was watching Akeno to him. "Right now we're engraving your inscription inside of the magical diagram." She tapped her chin for a moment, quickly thinking of the best way to elaborate further. "The best way to explain it would be to call it the proof of our relationship, after which this magical diagram will become the basis for all the magical powers that you'll be using."

"I'm impressed you managed to figure out the functions of this. Most people not of the supernatural have trouble even identifying the simple seals." Rias said. Minato and Kushina merely smiled, knowing that in terms of seals they were more than qualified for them.

Naruto wondered if he should tell her that he wouldn't need this magical diagram thingy, since he already had his jutsu, but figured that if they went through all the trouble of doing this for him, it would be rude to refuse.

Besides, while he didn't really care to learn magic, it wouldn't hurt to have another trump card available. As the old saying went, it was always good to have an ace in the hole.

"I feel like I should discipline your other self." Rias commented. A little miffed at the rather dismissive mention of learning magic. At least he would learn it.

"Naruto." Said blond looked up to see Rias holding her hand out towards him. "Give me your hand."

The blond nodded and stood up. Or he tried to. There was a bit of a problem that prevented him from actually walking over to Rias.

"Koneko…" Rias said as she looked to the currently blissed out rook. As if feeling the gaze of her King Koneko merely gave her a blank look before going back to purring against the blonde's chest.

What could she do? The blondes touch was magical to say the least.

Koneko. Getting out from underneath Koneko proved to be a bit of a struggle. It seemed the white-haired first year just did not want to get off Naruto. The girl's grip on him tightened and her face seemed to bury itself deeper into his pectoral muscles. She made the cutest mewing noises that nearly had Naruto caving in right then and there, and when she looked up at him with those eyes, those large, teary, amber orbs, the blond just about died of moe.

Naruto felt for his counterpart. He always had a weakness for cute, and the girl in his lap currently was the epitome of said cuteness. Kushina merely cooed again, more than happy at the affections she felt Naruto deserved after his rather lonely childhood.

For the first time since watching Koneko get pampered by Naruto, Rias found something amusing in the whole situation.

Rias felt rather conflicted. Well, maybe conflicted was the wrong word.

Confused. Yeah, let's go with that.

Eventually, after many promises of more head petting and pampering, Koneko allowed the blond to leave his spot on the couch, albeit, she had the cutest pout on her face. Even Rias was tempted to tell Naruto he could sit back down when she saw that expression that seemed to be the epitome of adorableness.

'Must resist the adorable girl.' Were the thoughts of both Rias and Naruto. Rias knew why Koneko had become something of the mascot of Kuoh academy.

Kushina finally gave in to the cuteness, snatching the girl from her son's lap and began petting Koneko. The girl was startled for a moment, before melting into the Uzumaki matriarch. Koneko felt like crying as she snuggled into the motherly embrace of Kushina. She was reminded of the times her sister had held her like this before her abandonment.

As if sensing the girls distress Kushina began cooing to the girl, making the neko girl further relax. Rias was reminded of her own mother along with Akeno, who continued to read to not remember the bitter memories from her death.

Not that she would give in to temptation. Naruto was her servant, not Koneko's, and that was that.

On a side note, Issei ended up passing out from a nosebleed when he saw Koneko's pout.

Naruto and Minato laughed outright, while Tsunade merely groaned in exasperation. It seemed across dimensions perverts were more similar than they should have been.

Standing next to Rias, Naruto held out his hand, watching as the red-haired beauty took it in her own and turned his palm towards the ceiling. Taking her pointer finger, the devil who gave him a second chance at life began drawing a circle similar, albeit much less complicated, to the one that Akeno had made.

"This tool will allow you to utilize the magical diagram to teleport to your summoner," Rias explained as Naruto examined the circle. After a few moments consideration, he determined that it would be easy enough to replicate this circle on his own from now on. Though he had no clue what he would use it for.

"Lots of things, which more than likely will be explained in the book." Rias said, making the ninjas nod.

"Akeno, are you ready?"

"It's ready, Buchou," Akeno nodded, "You can start any time."

"Okay, Naruto, stand in the middle of the magical diagram."

Doing as told, Naruto stepped into the circle. Almost immediately he felt the power being emitted by the glowing circle. It was similar to, but not quite the same as chakra. The best way he could describe it was that it felt more pure, or maybe more dense. It almost reminded him of Kurama's awesome chakra, just not as powerful.

"An interesting point." Tsunade commented "I can tell that there are differences, though I would need to exam your energy more closely before making any conclusions."

Rias and Akeno looked at each other before nodding, wondering if their chakra was the same as the yokai faction.

"This magic circle is what you will be using to teleport to various jobs," Rias continued explaining. "The summoner will have a similar magic circle from those fliers you passed out yesterday." The light from the circle began to glow more brightly and Naruto's hair began wavering as if caught in a breeze. "Do you remember what to do once you get there?"

"Make a contract with the summoner in exchange for granting their wish," Naruto recited. "I got it. You don't need to worry about me, Rias!" The blond grinned as he gave the girl a thumbs up. "I've got this in the bag!"

"The confidence is rather refreshing." Rias stated.

"Trouble with Issei?" Naruto asked. The moan of tiredness was all the answer he needed.

Rias could not help but be taken with his enthusiasm. She smiled, and said, "Very well then. Have a safe trip, Naruto."

Light soon engulfed his vision. The blond had to actually close his eyes it was so bright. When the back of his eyelids darkened, telling him it was finally safe for him to open them, he did so...

"Huh so teleportation is one of the uses." Minato commented. Rias decided a small explanation was in order.

"The teleportation has several limitation though. It can only go to where there is a contract, someone in the same peerage is, or established teleport points. An example would be trying ot go into a fellow devils territory without any warning. It could still be done, but the power required would be doubled. They also act as identifiers for the various families.

The ninja's nodded in slight awe at the functions of the magic circle. Akeno continued once Rias nodded for her to do so.

… and promptly frowned. He was definitely no longer in the clubroom, that much was for sure. But the room he had entered wasn't exactly what he had been expecting from someone summoning a devil.

What had he been expecting? Basically, he had been expecting some kind of satanic looking room with a dark atmosphere and maybe an alter or two for sacrifices or something. That's the kind of thing satanic cultists had decorating their house's, right?

Rias and Akeno sent Naruto looks that screamed 'really?' before shaking their heads. Naruto just sweat dropped at his counterparts thoughts before shrugging them off.

What he got instead was a bright, cheery room with white walls, a cream colored floor and pink, flowing curtains. It was a very girly room. The kind he would have expected from, well, a really cute girl.

Rias groaned as she realized where Naruto was for his first contract. It would not be the best for first impressions.

Naruto himself was worried as both his mother and grandmother sent him deadpan looks.

"Ah!"

Turning around, Naruto found himself being met by said really cute girl, thereby confirming his suspicions about the person who such decore belonged to. The girl in question had long black hair in princess curls, electric blue eyes and pale skin. She was very cute, which Naruto would freely attest to.

She also didn't look much older than 11 or 12.

"Naruto, I must apologize for my knight. This is one of his usual clients."

Naruto just watched on, more than ready for this part to be done, if the look on Rias and Akeno's faces were any indication.

This wouldn't end well.

"Um..." This couldn't have been the person who summoned him, could she? "Excuse me, but I was wondering if you could ―"

"Mou~!" The girl interrupted him by crossing her arms over her chest and adopting an adorable pout. If Naruto had motherly instincts, they would have kicked in just now. "I was hoping to get Kiba-kun when I summoned a Devil."

Naruto's right eye twitched. So this girl really did summon him then...

Dear God, they were getting younger, weren't they?

"That…is slightly a disturbing thought." Tsunade commented, while the two devils only looked away with a little embarrassment on their faces.

Contracts were contracts after all.

"Still," the girl walked over to the blond, examining him from head to toe.

"O-Oi, what are doing?" asked Naruto as the girl moved behind him and pinched his butt. He squeaked and held both hands against his offended rear end. "What was that for?"

Naruto's face paled rapidly, ass both Kushina and Tsunade couldn't hold in their snickers at the reaction from having his butt pinched.

'It is a nice butt.' Rias thought before her blush returned full force.

The girl completed her circuit and took a position, standing in front of him. There was a large smile on her face and her cheeks were stained red.

"You're kinda cute too," she admitted at last. Naruto felt like he had passed some kind of test or something. He wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.

"It sure feels like it shouldn't" Naruto muttered as the girls expression was displayed on the television screen. Idly he felt Koneko rub into his chest with a little more force.

"That's... good to know... I think..." He was actually kind of disturbed by this girl. What sort of 11 year old pinches people on the ass?

"A perverted one." Tsunade muttered. She knew that somewhere out there was a female version of Jiriaya.

The Universe was not that cruel though. Right?

Well, whatever. Time to get down to business, he supposed. This girl had summoned him after all.

"So, do you have a wish you would like me to grant...?" he trailed off, inviting her to tell him what she wanted.

"One can sense you're hesitation Kitsune-kun." Akeno slyly commented, earning a roll of his eyes as a response.

"I want you to take my virginity!"

Several reactions, all amusing to the audience, came form the assembled Shinobi and devils. Rias let her head fall into her hands, lamenting that her knight would make sure he never let this contract into Issei's hands. More for her pawns sake than anything.

Akeno was giggling at the situation Naruto had got himself into, setting down the book as she tried not to laugh outright. She did have an image to maintain after all.

Minato could only remember the more ardent fangirls when he had just graduated from the academy. The thrashing that Kushina had given many a fangirl were probably still infamous in Konoha.

Both Tsunade and Kushina had quickly turned their own versions of feminine fury towards the blond, but it receded rather quickly once they remembered who Naruto really was.

Koenko was sending a death glare at the girl in the story, though she did remember Kiba's rather embarrassed actions some times when he would return from a certain contract.

As for the blonde Uzumaki himself?

Naruto's mind had shut down before he came back. "Oh hell no!" he quickly stated, much to the silent amusement of the velvet room occupants as the rest recovered from the surprise. "What the hell?"

"I'll continue." Akeno stated before any more could be said.

…

…

"Eh?" Naruto stared at the girl blankly for several seconds. He then reached out with his hand and dug his pinky into his ear. When he was satisfied that all of the ear wax was gone, he looked back at the girl. "I'm... sorry, could you repeat that? I don't think I heard you properly the first time."

"Not that it will change anything." Rias stated, much to the despair of Naruto. Seriously what was with his luck. His first contract came form a girl that wanted him to take her-

He promptly chained, stabbed and dropped that thought in the darkest recesses of his mind. Maybe Kurama would throw a Bijuudama at it for good measure?

"I want you to take my virginity."

"Ah, so I wasn't hearing things," Naruto murmured. Somehow, he knew this was all Kiba's fault. That girl had mentioned Kiba when he first showed up. It couldn't be anyone else's fault.

"My other better make Kiba pay." Naruto hissed out. Akeno gave a small smirk, more than willing to hello the punishment of her cute peerage member.

Well, it could be Issei's, but even Naruto wasn't willing to place the blame with him this time.

Either way, when Naruto saw Kiba again, he was a dead man.

Kiba paused in the middle of a swing as a cold shiver of fear ran down his back. He made a note to not go into the velvet room for now before he dodged a punch form Issei and sent the pawn flying back with a strike to his privates. The knight could only wince in pity.

And speaking of Issei, he wondered how the other newest member of Rias' peerage was doing. Surely, he couldn't be any worse off than Naruto was, right?

"For some reason I bet he isn't." Kushina commented. She was actually looking forward to the situation that the boy would find himself in.

~KatCHRP~

Issei's situation was not much better than Naruto's. In fact, it may have been even worse.

Unlike Naruto, who had enough magical energy to teleport due to his recently healed up chakra coils and being in peak physical condition, Issei's magic was practically zilch. He had absolutely no magic to speak of. This had caused him a problem when he was using the magic circle that would have summoned him to the person he was going to make a contract with.

It hadn't worked.

"Wow." Tusnade said "Not even most of our civilians are that weak. In terms of chakra at least."

Rias could only hold her head down in shame at the weakness of her pawn at the time. It was rather embarrassing once Sona got wind of it. The subtle teasing from her fellow king was not appreciated.

According to Rias, he just did not have enough magic to use a summoning circle.

It was just another reason to hate Naruto. Not only did their cute little Kohai, Koneko, love sitting on his lap and nuzzling against him, he could use summoning circles just fine. Stupid, blond bastard.

Both Naruto and Kushina merely laughed at the pervert's attitude towards Naruto. He had that way with those of the perverted persuasion.

With the summoning circle out of his reach for the time being, he had been forced to ride his bike to his first contract. This sucked big time because the person who had summoned him lived nearly thirty miles away, meaning he had to really haul ass if he wanted to get there before it was too late.

Only his desire to become a harem-king gave him the strength needed to carry on.

"Well at least he has some motivation?" Minato questioned, as Rias nodded with little enthusiasm. He was getting better at least!

Sweaty and tired, Issei had finally arrived at the residence he had been summoned to and rang the doorbell before waiting for whoever had summoned him to answer the door.

He didn't know what kind of person would be waiting for him on the other side, but Kiba had said that he was often summoned by beautiful girls. Hopefully, the blond prince's information was accurate. It would be totally awesome if he managed to get a hot girl as his first contractor.

"And he just jinxed himself." Naruto said, with his parents and Tsunade agreeing with him. Rias and Akeno smiled, remembering when Issei had come back from this particular contract. A little Karma was good once in a while.

After a few seconds of waiting, the door cracked open.

"Nyo..."

"Nyo?"

Issei blinked several times, having not expected that to be the first thing he heard from the person he was to be making a contract with. Then he sighed. Great. Not only was his contractor a man, he also had something as weird as a catch phrase.

Naruto was trying very hard not to laugh. From his experiences with the various oddballs of the Shinobi world he had a plethora of images at the wield catchphrase. The most common one with two green spandex wearing Taijutsu masters.

The door opened further and Issei began the necessary introduction. "Sorry for intruding, but I... was... wondering..." he trailed off, his eyes widening in horror.

"Welcome nyo~"

Standing on the other side of the door was what could only be some kind of monster. It was large, beefy, built like a brick shit house with muscles on its muscles and arms bigger than Issei's head and definitely not female.

Not that it wasn't trying to at least look female. It was just doing a very horrible job of it.

It was wearing its hair in twin pig tails with ribbons tied into bows. It was also wearing a sailor fuku uniform that showed off its disgustingly hairy legs, with a pair of white wings sticking out from behind its back. Issei abstractly recognized the clothes as a Magical Girl uniform, but that wasn't something he was immediately focused on. It was more an after the fact detail.

Naruto was the first to start laughing, causing a domino effect as the rest of the group started as well. This was gold! Even Koneko had a small smile at the situation the pervert had found himself in.

Rias had rather fond memories of her pawns reaction to this particular contract. He had succeeded after all like a good little pawn.

The... thing, for that's all it could be in Issei's mind, loomed over him like some kind of indomitable fortress of pink.

"I've waited for so long nyo~"

Issei, who was staring up at the thing with wide, teary eyes and snot dribbling down his nose, just barely managed to speak, such was his fright. "Your... wish...?"

"I want you to turn Miru-tan into a magical girl nyo~"

By this point everyone had gotten started a fresh batch of laughter. Akeno was the only one to get herself under control as she kept reading, though the amused twinkle in her eyes did not diminish one bit.

"Eh?" He really should have expected that, what with the cosplay and all, but for some reason he hadn't. In fact, he was so startled that he was knocked out of his terror of the monstrosity before him. "I think you need to go to another world for that..."

"I've been to another world, but no one has the ability to give Miru-tan magical girl powers." The hell? This thing actually went to another world? "At this point, I have been forced to make a request from my enemies, the Devils, to grant my wish."

"I know I should feel bad for the pervert but this is too good." Said Naruto between bouts of laughter.

"E-Enemies!?" Oh shit! Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! This was not good! So not good!

"I want you to give Miru-tan... I WANT YOU TO GIVE MIRU-TAN MAGICAL GIRL POWERS NYOOOOOO~"

"WAAAAAAHH! I'M GONNA DIE!"

By now everyone was getting themselves under control, though several chuckles and amused expressions still popped up. Naruto was more than happy to share some of his bad luck with Issei.

Yes, Naruto may not have been the luckiest guy in the world for his first contract, but at least he didn't end up with Miru-tan. You've got to be thankful for the little things in life.

Right.

~KatCHRP~

Naruto walked into his first class much earlier then he usually did, which was normally just as the bell was about to ring.

"Ah, I'm guessing Kitskune-kun is searching for his handsome prey." Akeno stated rather huskily. Naruto could only sputter as the implied meaning of her sentence came to his mind.

"O-Oi!" Naruto sputtered out, before grumbling something about sadist people in his life.

Several people looked at him as he entered, their jaws dropping as the 'foreign' kid arrived to class early for once. Everyone knew that he hated class. Hell, he always slept in class. If that didn't say 'all my hate' then nothing did.

Naruto could only sheepishly chuckle as his mother gave him a stern look. While secretly happy to get the attention from his mother, he knew a lecture when he saw one.

Really, it was a wonder Naruto had grades as good as he did.

It was a good thing that no one knew he was a top class ninja.

Taking a quick glance around, Naruto easily spotted his target, which may have had something to do with the fact that said target smiled and waved at him as if they were old buddies.

"And the fox finds his prey." Rias commented in a stage-whisper, earning a twitch of annoyance from Naruto while the rest of the Ninja's snickered. Rias just smiled, more than happy to tease someone for once.

He immediately began walking over to the person he had been hoping to see since last night.

"Hey, Naruto-san," Kiba greeted with a smile on his bishounen face. "How was your first ― OWCH!"

More eyes widened as Naruto smacked Kiba in the back of the head. Several gasps were heard by the female population, which was quickly followed by several death threats for hurting their Prince. Naruto ignored them.

"Ugh. Fangirls." Kushina and Naruto grumbled, though for entirely different reasons.

In Konoha a certain pink-haired medic sneezed, before grumbled as the paperwork she had been on flew form her hands.

"You..." the blond hissed angrily as he leaned in to whisper to the boy. There was no need to give away the knowledge that they were Devils accepting contracts to fulfill people's wishes to everyone. "You knew about Saya's wish, didn't you? That's why you gave her contract to me, isn't it? You bastard!"

"Ah," Kiba winced as he rubbed the large bump on his head. Naruto had a surprising amount of strength for a newly minted Devil. "So you're first contract was with Saya." When Naruto's glare intensified, Kiba winced. "Did you... you know?"

"Why would he even ask that?!" Naruto cried out indigently. Good Kami he had morals!

"What?" Naruto gawked at him for a second before scowling. "Of course not! Who do you take me for? Issei?" When Kiba just chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, Naruto sighed. "Ugh, I think I've been scarred for life."

"Just another one to add from Jiriaya's teaching." Minato stated, giving his son a look of understanding and pity. Tsunade nodded, more than ready to interrogate the blonde Uzumaki for details about the training trip they had taken.

"Yeah, Saya can be a bit... difficult," Kiba admitted, sitting down. After a moment or two the spiky headed blond followed suit and sat down with a sigh. "Just out of curiosity, what did you do to convince her to sign her contract?" He then looked at the boy with a frown. "She did sign the contract, right?"

"Of course," Naruto told him. "I gave it to Rias this morning. As for what I did," the blond barely managed to withhold a shudder. "I gave her a massage."

"That is a surprising way to get that done." Rias commented, having a good idea form Kiba's reports about what he had to do to get the contract signed.

"I want to ask but I think the book will already have the answer." Naruto responded with a sigh.

"That doesn't sound so bad," Kiba said. Usually, he had to do things that were a lot more... vulgar in order to convince her to sign the contract. He had often wondered just how long he would be able to get away with simple kisses on the cheek and allowing her to do some minor groping before the precocious girl demanded more.

The ninja's could only stare deadpan at the two devils. Their response?

To ignore the stares and keep reading.

"She kept trying to make me give her a full body massage."

"Ah... ahahahaha..." Kiba grimaced at Naruto's deadpan expression.

"So many pranks I could do." Whispered Naruto, a full blown sadistic expression on his face.

Rias was somewhat hoping the blonde in the story would not injure her knight too bad. Both mentally and phycologically.

As the bell for class rang, he made a reminder to give Naruto a list of possible females who may demand the same thing that Saya did.

On the plus side, none of them were that young. That should at least keep him from getting hit again, right?

Naruto was a little glad that the devil was not here at the moment. He was not certain if Tsunade would punch him across the room before lecturing him.

~KatCHRP~

"Issei, I forbid you from ever going near the Church again."

The moment Naruto heard these words as he neared the doors to the Occult Research Clubroom, he knew something was up.

Rias perked her head up, wondering if having Naruto there would cause anything different to happen. Though the situation had ended fine, it would be interesting to see the blonde's actions he would take.

Deciding not to just barge in there as he was wont to do, the blond instead leaned up against the wall right next to the door so he could listen in without being too noticeable. It sounded like Issei had done something wrong... again.

"He has gotten better." Rias said, though the confidence she hoped to exude was a little bit less than she would have liked. Akeno merely licked her lips, wondering if she could motivate her fellow peerage member with some 'punishment' as well.

"To Devils like us, the Church is considered enemy territory," Rias continued. Naruto could almost imagine her standing behind her desk, her hands pressed flat against its surface as she looked at Issei with a combination of exasperation, concern and disappointment. "If someone like you or I were to step into the Church, it would create a major incident that could cause the small moment of relative peace between Angels and Devils to become strained. It's also a good way to get a light spear to the heart."

The ninja's made the parallels between their dimension and the devil's. It was easy to see them from the perspective of the Elemental nations before the fourth Shinobi War

Naruto smiled as he heard the worry in her voice. Even though her words may sound harsh to some, he could tell it was just because she did not want to see Issei get hurt.

Rias sent Naruto a grateful smile. She had hoped Issei had heard here when she explained it to him, but events after their initial discussion seemed to not sway the perverted boy.

She really was a good person, caring for those under her as if they were a part of her family.

"It's what we Gremory are known for." Rias stated noble like, though the happy grin on her face marred the image she was trying to portray.

The rest of the group had amused smiles as Akeno continued.

"And don't go near anyone who has any relationship with the Church. Especially the exorcists. They are some of the worst enemies our kind has. They have been blessed by God, so they have enough power to destroy a Devil, especially a lower class one like you are right now. If a Devil were to be hit by their divine powers, they would be completely annihilated, with no hope of ever being reincarnated."

"Ouch." Hissed Minato. "To have such weakness to a particular power is somewhat unsettling."

"It's a part of our lives." Rias responded, knowing all about the inherit weakness of her kind to holy and light powers.

Hearing this, Naruto raised an eyebrow. That was a useful little tidbit of information.

"Indeed." Responded the ninja's, though Kushina was sending a new round of coo's to the girl in her lap. Koneko was just purring as she went further into blissful oblivion.

He had heard of exorcists before, of course, but most of what he knew came from listening to people talk about these exorcism movies that seemed to be popular among horror fanatics. And those were always about evil spirits, not Devils.

Ugh, Naruto never wanted to watch an exorcist movie, ever!

Naruto had a small shiver of fear pas through him. They made entertainment about stuff like that?

"This is very important! Do you understand?"

Issei did not say anything. And if he did, it was not loud enough for Naruto to hear even with his enhanced sense of hearing. Even so, he could still imagine the perverted boy shrinking in on himself, looking absolutely intimidated by Rias' stare.

Naruto had to admit, she had one hell of a stare.

"It's an art." Rias responded, with Tsunade and Kushina nodding in agreement.

"Ara, ara," a familiar voice said in his ear. Naruto sighed as he realized his time spying was done. "What are you doing, Kitsune-kun?"

"Just waiting for Rias to finish lecturing Issei, Akeno-chan."

"And listening in on their conversation, right?" Akeno asked slyly. Naruto shrugged, not at all bothered that she knew he was spying on them. It wasn't like what he was doing was harmful.

"Now there's two of them." Rias muttered. She already had to be on the lookout for her queen and her penchant for catching her in embarrassing Moments. She didn't needanother one!

"Something like that."

Since Rias was no longer lecturing at Issei, Naruto figured they were done anyways and decided to make his presence known.

Barging into the room with his typical lack of subtlety, the blond greeted the two as he always did. "Yo, Rias," he grinned at the red head, getting a smile in return. Then he looked at Issei, his grin widening into one that was decidedly vulpine. "... Ero-Debegame."

Snickers followed the nickname, with Naruto just grinning like his counterpart.

"Why do you keep calling me that!?" Issei looked like he was about to cry. Or maybe he was about to hit Naruto. It was always difficult to tell between the two.

"Cuz you're a perv," Naruto stated in a cheery fashion. Issei looked like someone just shot his puppy, while Rias and Akeno began giggling at him. "Don't worry though," the blond shinobi patted the boy on the back, only to get his hand shrugged off. "There's nothing wrong with being a lech. It's simply your way of life."

"Same thing I told Jiriaya after our training trip." Naruto said. He had a small smile on his face as he remembered that particular memory.

"Then why do you keep making fun of me for being perverted?"

"Because it's fun!"

Naruto merely laughed, agreeing with his counterpart. He noted that Minato had started to chuckle along with the other two kunoichi. Rias and Akeno could only send the blond amused looks before continuing to read.

Issei's eye twitched violently.

Rias covered her hand to hide her giggling. At the same time, Akeno coughed into hers. Not just to stifle her own giggles, but to get Rias' attention.

"Ara, ara, now that we've all had our fun at Issei's expense." Said boy looked like someone had just struck him with lightning, which was very apt, considering who was talking about him. "I have an order of suppression from the Arch-Duke."

Naruto watched as Rias' expression morphed from its amused expression to a much more serious one. He raised an eyebrow, tempted to ask about what an 'order of suppression' was, but decided not to, figuring he would get an answer soon enough.

He had no idea how right he was.

"I remember this stray. Mostly because it was the first time Issei had been with us." Rias commented. Naruto was just excited to see some more combat.

~KatCHRP~

Naruto found himself standing alongside Akeno, Koneko, Kiba, Issei and Rias later that night. The full moon was out, its moonbeams shining down upon them and casting an eery glow on the abandoned mansion they stood in front of. It was here that Rias had led them to after receiving the 'order of suppression' from that Arch-Duke guy.

Rias could only groan into her hands. It seemed like both versions of Naruto were not that good in terms of social etiquette. Tsunade could only send the Gremory heir a look of pity, more than familiar with the blonde's penchant for forgetting important figures.

Said mansion looked like it had once been a grand home filled with ostentatious decorations that would be par for the course of most homes where rich, snobbish people lived. Now it was rundown and abandoned. A derelict building that looked like it had been the victim of several decades worth of neglect. The walls were cracked and stained. Moss and vines had overgrown much of the structure. The windows were broken yet the inside was too dark for even Naruto's vision to pick anything out. The place was truly in great disrepair.

"Listen up you two," Rias attracted Naruto's and Issei's attention. "This will be important for you two to remember, as it's something that we will likely be called on to do again in the future."

"Hmm. From what I can guess this 'suppression order' is similar to our nune-kin missions." At the questioning look from both devils Minato elaborated. "Missions that involve disposing or capturing rouge Shinobi."

Both devils nodded, though most if not all suppression missions ended with termination.

Naruto instantly perked up as he focused his attention on Rias. At that moment, she sounded very much like a Jounin about to instruct her genin. It was actually kind of nostalgic.

"Rogue Devils are underling Devils much like yourself, except they ended up betraying their masters and went rogue. Most of them that strike out on their own act like nothing more than rabid dogs. And much like rabid dogs, they need to be put down. One of the laws of our kind is that if a Rogue Devil is found, they are to be destroyed with extreme prejudice."

"Very similar." Tsunade commented. Naruto was sure that his counterpart would fit right in.

Naruto found himself nodding his head as he stored the information way. It was actually very familiar to him, as it reminded him of how shinobi villages dealt with their missing ninja.

Missing ninja were not only security risks due to the simple fact that they had gone rogue, but also contained a lot of secrets within their bodies that could be used to by other villages if they fell into the wrong hands. That was why they needed to not only be killed, but their bodies destroyed entirely.

That made him wonder, when Rogue Devils were killed, did they need to take the head back as proof of the kill? And could people earn bounties by killing them?

For a second, Naruto pondered the idea of hunting Rogue Devils for cash. It might be a good idea to earn money.

The three elder shinobi looked to Naruto with pride in their gazes. Naruto could only smile back, soaking up the silent praise.

He quickly discarded the idea, however. He understood the necessity of eliminating people when they became dangerous to the safety of innocents, but he had never enjoyed killing.

"Another reason that makes you special." Kushina said, making the younger Uzumaki tear up a little.

"I take it that's why we're here?" asked Naruto, gesturing towards the empty house. "There's a Rogue Devil in there and we've been ordered to destroy it?"

Rias flashed him a pleased smile. "Yes, that is it exactly. We've recently received reports that humans have gone missing around here. Normally, we wouldn't bother with rumors, since there are a number of humans that go missing all the time, but these reports claimed that the missing were all seen entering this house and never came out. That's normally a sign that a Rogue Devil has taken up residency and is luring humans in to eat them." She paused, then added, "It helps that the Arch Duke informed us that there was a Rogue Devil in our territory."

"Sounds like a nasty business," Naruto muttered while Issei paled at the knowledge that there were Devils who ate humans.

That is somewhat disturbing, but as shinobi you see a lot of bad things." Minato stated. The devils nodded in agreement. From the brief glimpses they had gotten from the story and whatever the ones with them had stated it was not a very nice place.

"It is," Rias admitted solemnly.

The group soon made their way into the house. The stench of blood clung heavily to the air. Naruto, with his enhanced senses, nearly gagged on the scent. It was only because he had grown so used to the smell of blood during the Fourth Great Ninja War that he was able to keep the bile wanting to rise in his throat down.

Issei was not nearly as lucky. The boy's face was green and he looked like he might vomit at any moment.

Everyone could only pity the perverted boy. In essence he was a civilian after all.

Naruto felt some sympathy for the kid. He had been just a regular person before he got caught up in all this due to that Sacred Gear in his arm. It really wasn't fair to him that he had to deal with this new lifestyle that he was in no way prepared for.

"It sucks, but sometimes we just have to roll with it." Naruto commented. More than familiar with Issei's situation.

Among those who seemed to have trouble dealing with the scent was Koneko, whose nose was crinkled in disgust and her face took on a shade of green similar to Issei's. She probably had enhanced senses like Naruto did, being what she was.

Naruto could only send the neko girl a small grin. He was glad there was someone who shared the pain of enhanced smell with him.

Naruto closed distance with her and absently handed her a cloth soaked in perfume.

Don't ask where he got the perfume or the cloth. Just go with it.

The Neko girl was sending him a pleading look, wondering if the blonde Uzumaki had something like that she could use whenever. Seeing the look Naruto took a kit he had developed with Kiba to help with their enhanced sense of smell.

"Here you go. A good friend of mine helped me to develop that." The Neko girl merely put the Kit in her pocket before crawling back to Naruto and curling in his lap. Naruto could only sheepishly chuckle as his mother gained a small air of depression and Rais gained an annoyed look once again.

Minato merely rubbed his wife's back, more than familiar with her mood if someone took something cute away from her.

Koneko smiled in thanks as she gratefully took the cloth and used it to cover her nose.

"Issei, Naruto," Rias said as they fully entered the mansion. The sound of their footsteps echoed loudly in the empty hallway. "This will be a good chance for you to see how we Devils battle." She paused for a second, then added, "I should also probably take the time to explain how the servant system works and what traits you gain as one."

"Ah we finally get more than the barebones." Minato stated. He had been interested in what the Evil Piece system actually entailed.

Issei scratched the back of his head in obvious confusion. "What do you mean by traits?"

"Cue lecture mode!" Exclaimed Naruto, laughing at the glare Rais sent his way.

That question was all Rias needed to begin her lesson. "I've already explained the relationships between the Devil, Angel and Fallen Angel factions. The three-way war between those three factions left all sides exhausted in both moral and strength. A large number of pure blood Devils lost their lives, and there simply weren't enough of us to make up for the losses we suffered. Because of this, we needed to find a way to build our forces back. This was how the Evil Piece system was put into place."

Everyone took a pause before Minato spoke up. "As much as I am loathe to admit it we had a similar way. During wars the curriculum was expedited to make sure the graduating Shinobi would be able to get to the battlefields within a few months of training with their Jonin-sensei's."

Tsunade groaned, knowing exactly what Minato was talking about. She was sure that was the reason that Sarutobi had aged so much in his first tenure as Hokage. Naruto and the devils had a sad look at the fact that essentially children would be sent to a war. Even the factions had tried not to involve children most of the time. For Naruto he be thankful that war had not been going on while he was attending the Academy.

Issei gave Rias a look that said he had no clue what she was talking about. Naruto didn't either, but figured she would explain and thus kept himself from reacting too overtly.

"I'm guessing he would react like you brat." Tsunade commented with a smirk. Naruto merely huffed as he continued to pet Koneko.

"Do either of you know what Chess is?"

"Isn't that, like, the European version of Shogi?" asked Naruto, frowning a bit. Rias gave him a nod.

"Bet Shikimaru would love that." Naruto muttered, knowing his friends obsession with Shogi.

"In a manner of speaking. It's very similar to Shogi, but different at the same time. The pieces in Chess are King, Queen, Knight, Rook, Bishop, and Pawn. Each piece has it's own unique traits."

Before Akeno continued a chess board, complete with pieces. It was a simplified set, done in white and velvet blue.

"We can teach you once we take a break." Rias commented, more than a little unnerved with the causal display of power from the velvet room attendants.

The group began searching for the wayward Rogue Devil as Rias continued explaining how the Evil Piece system worked. So far there had been no sign of the one they had been ordered to exterminate.

Naruto was just surprised by how clean the place was. Aside from some overturned furniture and a thick layer of dust, there was nothing to show it was being used by anyone. Given that this Rogue Devil was supposed to be eating humans here, he would have expected there to be blood splatters or even a half-eaten corpse of two. At the very least there should have been signs of a struggle.

"Only devils that have gone completely insane, or have given completely into their bloodlust leave behind tracks that can lead to them. More often than not it's an order or coincidence that stray devils are found." Rias explained. The Shinobi nodded, familiar with that aspect of finding and eliminating rouge shinobi.

"For the same reason, each servant undergoes training in a different ability. Although they do not have many skills, they are very powerful in the ones they do know." Rias paused for a moment as she looked inside a room that had once been a sitting area. Nothing but discarded chairs and broken tables were there now. "Because of this, the Evil Piece system has become very popular since it's conception. It's actually gotten to the point where those resurrected as an Evil Piece are being used in a competition called a Rating Game between nobles."

"Rating Game?" asked Issei, a clueless look on his face.

The shinobi gained interested looks. It sounded just like their version of chunin and jonin exams. They were, after all, not only for the sole sake of promotions. Business often picked up for a hidden village if they made a good impression at the exams

Rias placed a hand against a pair of large double doors as she answered him. This was the last place they hadn't looked. "To put it simply, a Rating Game is essentially pitting servants resurrected under the Evil Piece system in a live fire exercise similar to Chess. It's actually gotten to the point where it could influence a Devil's position and rank within the nobility."

"The similarities are unnatural." Kushina commented. She had more trouble than most with the exams. From what she gathered form Naruto, Tsunade and Kakashi Naruto had an even worse time, though the village coming under attack during his first ones may have set the precedent. She could only hope that climbing the ranks of the devils would be easier for her son.

Naruto scratched his chin as he read between the lines of her words. "Which means that, at some point, you're going to be expected to participate in a Rating Game, right?"

"I'm still not a mature devil, so it's a ways off," Rias assured Naruto as she pushed open the door. There was a loud rattle followed by the creaking of hinges that had long gone unused as the door opened slowly. "I still can't officially enter the arena."

The disappointed look on Naruto's face caused Rias to giggle. Naruto reminded her somewhat of her cousin, though she wasn't sure if the world could survive the meeting between them.

Or her sanity.

The room beyond was pitch black. Darkness beyond darkness that no amount of enhancements would be able to pierce clung to the room like a cloak.

"And what about 'unofficially'?" asked Naruto, his words making Rias smile. The blond really was quite smart.

"Ugh," Issei groaned as he rubbed his head. "I don't really understand any of this. And what piece am I anyways?"

Naruto and his parents had a feeling the answer would be humorous at the very least.

Naruto perked up. He was also curious to know what piece he had been resurrected under.

"Naruto, Issei, you two are..."

"What a Delicious scent," a voice interrupted Rias from saying anymore. Everyone present turned their attention towards the darkness of the room they were entering. With the doorway open, some light began creeping in, illuminating a bit of the room beyond, though not by much.

"Ugh, that voice reminded me of Orochimaru." Naruto shivered, more than happy that the Snake Sannin had turned over a new leaf form the end of the Fourth Shinobi War.

"It's coming," Rias murmured darkly as she glared around the room. Noticing her look, Naruto allowed a kunai to slide into his right hand and held it in a reverse grip.

"But it's also mixed with something foul..."

"I think she's smelling herself," Naruto said out loud, his words causing Akeno to giggle while Rias and Koneko smiled. Kiba looked somewhat amused, but was also sweat dropping at the very Naruto-ish comment. He had heard more than enough of those in class.

"Humph. Everyone's a critic." Naruto commented. Tsunade could only shake her head, pity for the blonde boy sent out for having to deal with the blonde Uzumaki. Kushina and Minato decided to stay out of it. Kushina was sure that Naruto had inherited the worst part of one side of the parent's humor.

"Rogue Devil Vizor, we are here to destroy you!" Rias shouted into the darkness beyond. Naruto eyes sharpened as his ears picked up a dull thud some feet away. He still couldn't see anything due to whatever had moved being covered in darkness, but judging by the rhythmic thuds that followed, whatever it was, was coming towards them.

"That is never a good sign when it makes that much noise." Naruto said, before grinning ferociously. "Too bad for them though."

Rias would never admit it but the look Naruto was sporting had caused her to be a little aroused. Akeno was a little less subtle in her feeling towards the current look on Naruto's face. A sensual blush had made its way onto her face, and Form the small pants she knew Akeno was more than a little aroused.

The tight feeling in her chest was promptly ignored for now.

Something flew out of the darkness. Naruto and everyone who had combat experience, that is to say, everybody except Issei, tensed and prepared to react. They relaxed a moment later, though only slightly, when they realized what it was that had flown out of the darkness and now lay on the ground with blood pooling around it and staining the wood paneling of the floor.

Issei did not relax. If anything, he began to panic.

"A-A corpse!?"

"Yep, defiantly a civilian." Kushina commented. Though to be fair most people weren't devils or Kick-ass awesome shinobi!

Once again, Naruto felt a moment of sympathy strike him as the boy turned green and began to practically hyperventilate. It was clear to him that his fellow servant was in no way prepared for this kind of lifestyle.

"Rias groaned, remembering those first few weeks. It had been a hard transition, but it was her first servant that had been totally ignorant of the supernatural.

"What a nice scent. It smells so delectable that I just want to eat you up. Perhaps when I do, I'll get the chance to see if your blood is as red as your hair."

Both Rias and Kushina huffed,. It was not the first time they had heard that taunt. And probably wouldn't be the last.

Naruto's eyes snapped towards the source of the voice to find that he could finally see who it was; a somewhat attractive female with messy hair, red eyes and no shirt to cover her jiggling boobs.

"Why would that be one of the first things you notice?" Tsunade growled out. Naruto just shrugged, chalking it up to what he could adequately describe first. He hoped that was enough of an answer. It may have also helped that Koneko had sent the woman into cuteness overload with a quick glance.

Or at least, she would have been a moderately attractive female if it weren't for the fact that her lower half was anything but human. Naruto didn't know what kind of beast she was, but the lower portion of her body looked like an accident between a lion and some kind of arachnid. Four large legs with pawed feet kept the thing standing and balanced. There was a prehensile tail sticking out of her hind quarters. And her entire body was covered in fur.

Truly, she was an ugly mother fucker.

"Agreed." Were the four exact responses of the shinobi. Really what else could be said?

"Oppai! Naked oppai!"

Naruto face-palmed as he heard Issei's shout. He sees what had to be the ugliest chick in the entire world, and that's the first thing he says?

Rias had the decency to blush at her pawns actions. The ninjas sent her looks filled with pity, knowing more than anyone the difficulty of a good-hearted pervert.

Granted, her top half was... alright. Nowhere near as sexy as Rias or Akeno, and she wasn't even cute enough to compete with Koneko's tight little body, but it wasn't like her upper body was bad. However, that bottom of hers just killed it.

"Naruto." growled Tsunade, while Kushina could only deadpan stare at her son. Naruto had a feeling the 'other me' defense would not work here.

It wasn't even that she had way too much junk in her trunk, just that the trunk she did have was the ugliest damn trunk he had ever laid eyes on.

Well, Naruto supposed Issei wasn't known for being the most lecherous existence at school for nothing. There was a reason he had taken to calling the boy Ero-Debagame, after all.

"It just fits so well." Naruto commented, with a wide grin. Rias snorted in amusement. Oh, how did the name fit for her pawn.

"What an unsightly appearance," Rias crossed her arms under her chest. "It suits you well."

"What a pretentious little girl," Vizor snarled out. Naruto noticed that her human hands were holding onto two bloody javelins. "I'm going to enjoy staining your corpse with fresh blood as dark as your crimson hair."

Both Rias and Kushina groaned. What was it with taunted red-haired people and wanting to see if their blood matched?

"Hmph," Rias smirked and took up a gesture of haughty poise. "I guess it's true what they say about smaller dogs having a louder bark."

Vizor seemed to realize that she had just been insulted. She did not take too kindly to it.

"Y-You bitch!"

"Wow." Kushina mockingly drawled "Such a witty comeback." The group snickered, more than amused with Kushina's comment.

"Seems to be a fan favorite." Naruto commented, remembering a certain sound kunoichi with a penchant for cursing.

Rearing one of her Javelins back, she prepared to throw it, or maybe to close distance and stab Rias. Naruto didn't know. She never got the chance.

"Yuuto!"

"Got it!"

Kiba darted forward, his hands held out on either side, his body becoming nothing more than a blurry streak. Twin swords appeared within his grasp as he reached Vizor, who switched targets from Rias to him.

"Impressive speed." Minato commented. While it had nothing on Jonin and above Rias' knight was showing his strength.

"Knights are commonly the faster types of the peerage." Rias explained "The drawbacks are the weaker constitution, making them more of a hit and run unit in rating games.

"Well, perhaps I should continue our lesson from earlier," Rias said as she watched the proceedings with a single hand on the curve of her shapely hip. Kiba had just dashed in at speeds that Vizor had no hope of keeping up with, his twin swords flashing and slicing off one of her arms in a spray of gore. As the Rogue Devil roared in agony, Rias spoke some more. "As you can see, Yuuto is a Knight, which focuses on incredible speed."

"Die insect!" Vizor roared as she lifted a foot to squash Kiba flat. The young swordsman did not move an inch as the foot began descending, for at that moment, Koenko jumped in, her hands stretched out above her head.

"Koneko-chan!" Issei shouted in shock.

"Don't worry, Issei," Rias said as she and the others not involved in combat yet watched as the foot tried to stomp Koneko into the ground.

It didn't, or rather, it couldn't, as the white-haired first year managed to hold the woman's foot above her head without breaking a sweat.

The ninja's turned their eyes to the neko girl in Naruto's lap. That little thing had that much strength? Tsunade and Kushina had a look of approval, while Naruto was wondering 'Is it just me or do I like girls with insane strength?'

The simple answer. Yep.

"Koneko is a Rook," as she continued speaking, the ground beneath Koneko's feet cracked as she liberally shoved the foot she had been holding above her head off, causing Vizor to stumble, "And a Rook's trait is insane strength and defense."

"Just like the gaki." Tsunade chuckled. Naruto could only roll his eyes. Sure he had some great strength, but at least he wasn't Lee or Gai-sensei. The thought of him wearing those green spandex was a vomit inducing thought.

Naruto noticed the questioning looks from the devils, even the one in his lap. "What she means to say is that normally I'm up in the front of the fight. Much like Koneko-chan." Naruto had to chuckle at the small blush on the neko girl's cheeks before she buried herself back into his chest.

In retaliation for getting shoved away like a fifty pound weakling, Vizor's tail lashed out and Koneko struck the young girl. Said amber eyed cutie was sent flying and only stopped when she smashed her into a wall. The force behind the attack was so great that the wall actually crumbled and Koneko was blown through it.

"That level of attack won't work on Koneko," Rias said, smiling as she twirled a strand of hair between her fingers.

Indeed, when the smoke cleared, Koneko looked completely unscathed. Not even her skirt was scuffed in any way.

"Damn. Almost like Gaara's defense." Naruto muttered, more than a little jealous. Sure he had regeneration that was in most times excellent, but not having to heal injuries sounded great.

Tsunade merely nodded, knowing all about Gaara's sand defense form the war and talking with Naruto.

"Time for you to be blown away..."

Using the incredible strength granted to her as a Rook, Koneko shoved herself off the ground and was blasted into the air, her left hand clenched into a fist and held above her head. She looked kind of like superman, or supergirl, as she was way to cute to look like that boyscout with the penchant for wearing underwear over his pants.

"Please tell me that's not a real thing." Naruto muttered, a little green.

"It's a popular for mm of entertainment called comics." Rias commented. She was more of an anime fan than superhero and comic books. She noticed Naruto shaking his head before the story continued.

Like a rocket, the cute little first year crashed straight into Vizor's underbelly. The power behind her attack had so much force to it that the much larger Devil was blown off the ground and launched in a parabolic arc before descending and crashing straight through a wall.

Koneko clapped the dust off her hands, that bored look still on her face. "...So weak."

"It's like a younger, cuter version of Tsunade. Strength wise." Kushina commented before adding. "Let's hope she doesn't' have a gambling or drinking problem."

"Only to sweets." Akeno commented, loving the expression of depression on the older blondes face. Servers her right for having a bust like that at her age.

"Hehe," Naruto smiled as he walked up to the girl he had taken such a shine to, and began rubbing her head. The blank expression turned into one of bliss as she leaned into his hand. "You really are something, Koneko-chan." Koneko just purred in response.

Another purr caused Rias to turn away from the scene. Both of them.

Still standing where she had been since the start of the battle, Rias' eye twitched at the scene. "Can you two not do that here? We're still in combat, you know?"

"Yes leave the petting and pampering for later." Akeno stated, enjoying the annoyed glare sent her way by her King.

"Ah, right." Naruto chuckled sheepishly as he took his hand off Koneko's head, causing the first year to pout. "My bad."

"So cute!" Kushina squealed, her thoughts mirrored by everyone else. Rias had an idea of where Naruto's love of cute things had come from.

"Ugh," Vizor moaned in pain, "How can a group so young be so strong."

"And now you'll get to see the last member of my peerage after you two," Rias decided to ignore what had happened between Koneko and Naruto. There was no reason to get upset over it anyways. It's not like she was jealous or anything.

Several looks of amusement made the Gremory Heir turn away, folding her arms under her bust.

'Stupid Oppai" Koneko commented. Naruto laughed, sure the young girl was a little jealous of the rather generous bosoms of three other women. Rias had gained a tic mark from her rooks comments.

It wasn't her fault! Blame genetics!

"Akeno?"

"Of course, Buchou," Akeno was all smiles as she clapped her hands in front of her face. There was something seriously disturbing about that pleasant and beautiful smile. Issei felt a shiver crawl up his spine. "Now, I wonder how I should do this?"

"Kami it's another Anko. The universe is good enough with one. But two?" Tsunade muttered, letting out a large sigh as she came to terms with the fact Anko had been reincarnated into this girl sitting across form her.

It hadn't been the first time they had mentioned this 'Anko' and was rather curios to meet the woman they compared her with.

As a smiling Akeno began to slowly walk towards the struggling to stand Vizor, Rias continued her lecture. "Akeno is my Queen."

"Y-You bitch..."

"Ara, ara," smiling despite the insult, or maybe even because of it, Akeno tilted her head and looked down at the Rogue Devil. "You're still so energetic it seems. I guess that means you can withstand more punishment."

"You even have her freaking grin!" Naruto shouted, a little shiver of fear going down his spine. Akeno merely sent a sweet smile his way.

A flash appeared within the room.

"Then, how about I try something like this!"

ZZZZZTTT!

Akeno raised her hand and sparks of lightning shot from her fingertips, into the air, then descended upon the hapless Vizor.

"GRAAAAA!"

"Lightning? And it seems you have high mastery over it." Minato commented, earning a curious look from Akeno. "Lightning is one of the more direct attack elements Shinobi can wield."

"As a Queen, Akeno has all the abilities of a Pawn, Knight, Bishop and Rook. She's the invincible Vice President of our club," as Rias spoke, Naruto found himself paying extra attention to Akeno. He had noticed something... off, about her as she began zapping lightning at Vizor.

Naruto snorted in amusement. Sure off let's go with that.

Akeno's breathing had picked up drastically, despite an attack of that level not being anywhere near enough to tire someone like her out. There was a heavy blush staining her cheeks as well, and she was squeezing her thighs together and shuddering in ecstasy every few seconds.

Akeno was giggling to herself, fondly remembering that particular hunt. Rias just groaned, hoping to just get through this part of the book quickly.

"Oh my," Akeno licked her lips as she stared at the charred body of Vizor, the small flush on her cheeks increasing to a brighter red. "It looks like you can still continue. I wonder how long you can keep this up?"

Leaning over to Tsunade Naruto whispered "I don't think her and Anko should ever meet."

"Agreed." Responded Tsunade, sweat dropping at both the girls' expressions of ecstasy.

Naruto had seen that look before. It was a look he had seen a few times on particularly drunk women when he entered a brothel with Ero-Sennin during their training trip. He would recognize that expression anywhere.

Kushina and Tsunade merely let out a sigh, knowing htat the pervert was probably laughing his as off in the Pure Lands. Minato could only smile, remembering his own troubles with Jiriaya's 'training trips'.

"Akeno mainly specializes in attacking her opponents with magic."

Akeno, her breathing erratic as if she had just finished a six hour romp fest, lifted her hand again, a large smile on her flushed cheeks. The way she licked her lips was as freaky as it was enticing.

Naruto had to turn away, a blush appearing on his face. It wasn't his fault that he had been turned on by the Snake mistress licking his blood.

Or the fact she had dragged him off for some 'fun' time after saving Konoha.

"She is also the world's biggest sadist."

"She might be your world's biggest sadist, but ours is Mitarashi Anko." Tsunade stated with some hesitance.

ZZZTTTT!

"GYYAAAAA!"

That was the sound of Vizor being electrocuted again, and again... and again... and again.

"She would a great interrogator." Kushina whispered to Minato. The Yondaime Hokage could only chuckle as Rias laid her head into her hands, attempting to hide an embarrassed blush at her friend and queen's actions.

Akeno, it seemed, loved toying with her opponents. Naruto was strangely reminded of Anko as he watched the Yamato Nadeshiko work, god bless that crazy snake lady's sexy soul.

"So you can notice women…" Tsunade commented, an amused glint in her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah go ahead. Make fun of my denseness for romantic feelings." Naruto responded.

As Issei shivered in fear from watching Akeno take sexual pleasure from causing mass amounts of pain, Kiba made to reassure him. "Don't worry too much. The Vice President is very gentle with her allies."

ZZZTTTT!

"GRRRAAAA!"

Issei shivered again as he turned around and saw Akeno blasting what now looked like a well done steak with more lightning.

Naruto whistled as he walked up to the pair. "Is it wrong that I find Akeno to be extremely sexy right now?"

Naruto could only blush cherry red at his counterparts comment. Everyone let out a chuckle, even more so when they noticed the Neko girl pout up from her position on his chest.

Staring at the blond like he was something diseased, Issei quickly moved away, hoping he would not get infected by whatever Naruto had.

"Oi! If anyone should be diseased it should be the pervert!" The snickers form everyone else made him realize that they were directed to him.

"Ha..." Akeno sighed, her body shuddering with post orgasmic bliss as she held a hand to her cheek. "It seems that still wasn't enough to kill her." Issei sweat dropped as he looked at Vizor. She may not be dead, technically, but she was most certainly not what he would call alive either. "I suppose I'll let the President have the final blow."

Rias walked up to the thoroughly defeated Vizor, stopping just a few feet away. Her was face blank, a perfectly composed mask befitting a Devil of her high standing.

"It's like looking at a Hyuuga or any stuffy noble." Naruto whispered to his mother, who snickered in amusement. For some reason Rias had the urge to slap the blonde Uzumaki silly at the moment.

"Do you have any last words?"

"Kill me..."

"Very well then," Rias smiled, her eyes sharpening and turning a tad feral. Naruto would admit, it was even sexier than watching Akeno get aroused by causing pain.

The blushes on both Rias and Naruto's faces had reached atomic levels, as they caught each other's gazes. They quickly looked away, though Rias noted that Kushina was leaning forward as if scrutinizing her. The Gremory Heir squirmed a bit in her seat, a little unnerved at the Uzumaki matriarchs look.

He must be turning into some kind of masochist.

Naruto could only sputter, not being able to come up with a denial.

Damn that Jiraiya. It seemed some of his ways were sticking.

"Ashes to ashes and dust to dust."

As Rias held up her hand, what looked like a ball of black energy erupted above her palm. With an almost absentmindedness, she held it out towards Vizor and then let it loose.

The effect was impressive. The energy slammed into Vizor, creating an inferno of dark flames that, upon vanishing, revealed the Rogue Devil they had been sent to kill was no more. There was nothing left, not even drop of blood to stain the floor with.

"What makes it more impressive is the little effort it took to completely dispose of the body." Minato muttered in slight awe." It took considerable effort to completely dispose of a body, more so if the fight had dragged on across a broad space. Even drops of blood were disposed of to prevent secrets form leaking out.

Naruto whistled. "Now that was impressive." And he wasn't lying. Though he had seen much more impressive battles and attacks; and if he could be so bold, felt that his battles against people like Nagato, Tobi and Madara were far more impressive, it did not mean what he had seen here was any less incredible. He had never seen something get so thoroughly destroyed to the point where there was not even charred remains.

"It's over everyone," Rias smiled at her peerage, "Let's go back and have some tea."

Kushina snickered before pointing towards Tsunade "Or Sake, and copious amounts of it."

A quick chakra enhanced smack had Kushina rubbing a lump on her head. A satisfied Tsunade motioned for Akeno to continue.

Everyone began to leave. It wasn't like there was any reason left to stay in the dump of a mansion, and with no more reason to stay, no one wanted to continue smelling all the blood that Vizor had left in the house.

"Excuse me, Buchou..."

"Hmm?" Rias turned to look at Issei, "What is it?"

I was just wondering..." Issei began, "You never explained what my role was."

"It's like watching new genin capture Tora." Naruto said, more than happy to see the pervert's reactions.

He somehow knew it would be hilarious.

"I have to admit, I'm curious to know what I am as well," Naruto said. Truthfully, he didn't think he would need whatever abilities he gained from his piece, but he was curious nonetheless.

'I still haven't figured out what that piece my counterpart used on him was.' Rias thought with some confusion. Maybe Sona would be able to help identify it.

"That's right," she eyed the two, "I forgot to tell you what you two are. Issei, your role is..." Issei grinned and rubbed his hands together, probably thinking he was something awesome like a Knight or Rook. "...Pawn."

He was disappointed.

A new round of laughter proceeded the image on the screen of the pawns reactions. The face on the screen went through several different reactions, each one hilariously overdone.

"You mean to tell me I'm the lowest rank there is!?" Issei began crying. Large streams of tears like waterfalls came pouring out of his eyes in mass quantities, running down his face. Strangely enough, these tears did not stain his clothes. How odd.

"Power of the perverted." Naruto muttered, remembering the strange powers Jiriaya would somehow exhibit.

"There, there," Naruto patted the boy's shoulder. "It'll be alright."

"I would do something like that!" Naruto said in-between laughs. Koneko had a small smirk, one that did not go unnoticed by her peers. It was the most expression they had seen of the rook, including yesterday. Despite Rias' annoyance she figured this would be therapeutic for the Nekoshou girl.

"Don't patronize me!"

"Ne, Rias," Naruto said, "I'm curious, what piece am I?"

"You?" Rias frowned, her countenance shifting from amused to uncertain. "I... I don't know."

'Dang.' Rias thought. It was weird her counterpart knew nothing about the evil piece she used to resurrect the blonde Uzumaki.

"What do you mean?" asked Naruto, now also frowning. "How can you not know?"

"The Piece I used on you was very special. It was given to me by my older brother." She paused to gather her thoughts. "It's called a Mutated Piece. It's basically a Chess Piece that was normal at one point, but mutated and became something else. It contains all the original powers of the original piece it was, but it's no longer a proper representation of that piece and is much stronger than it was originally."

"Another thing to note is that mutated pieces are rare, even among the more powerful devils." Rias stated, getting a nod form the ninjas. It made sense since this version of Naruto seemed to be after the fourth Shinobi War. If the pieces determined what could be resurrected it would make sense that the more powerful the piece the easier the resurrection.

"And Issei took all Eight of your pawns?" Naruto commented. Rias merely let out a long suffering moan.

"Let's not talk about that." She was still a little miffed, especially with Sona rubbing it in her face.

"I see. So you can't determine what it was then?"

Rias shook her head. "I'm afraid not." She smiled and tried to add some brevity to the situation. "I guess that means we're going to discover what your Piece is together."

"Such a romantic moment Buchou." Both Naruto and Rias Shot up, glaring at the Queen of Rias' peerage.

"I agree." Kushina stated, much to the embarrassment of the two.

"Mom!"

Naruto found himself smiling as well. Truthfully, he didn't care what his piece was. Naruto would not need whatever trait it gave him. All he needed were the skills he had honed to perfection back in his home world.

He would be the strongest Devil in the world regardless of what his Evil Piece was.

That was a promise.

Dettebayo.

Naruto let out a groan, wishing for that particular phrase to not be at the exact end of the chapter. Akeno got the groups attention as she raised a delicate eyebrow.

"Theres another part called the Omake."

Omake ― A Request Gone Wrong!

Rias was sitting at her desk late at night, working on some paperwork.

It wasn't something she enjoyed doing. Paperwork, that is, but it was something that needed to get done. As the heiress to an old and powerful clan of Devils, and the owner of the city, it fell upon her to do it.

It was just another reason she didn't like being the heiress to a powerful family. She could almost see why her brother was always trying to skip out on his paperwork.

Tsunade and Minato could emphasize with the girl. Paperwork, the eternal enemy of any leader.

Exhaling a deep breath, Rias finished the last of the papers. Setting down her pen, she grabbed the last sheet of paper and moved it from the 'unfinished' section to the 'finished' section on her desk.

The busty young red head leaned back in her comfortable leather seat, her arms stretching up behind her head, causing her breasts to jiggle enticingly. Had Issei been there at that moment, he would have likely been blown straight through a wall by a nosebleed.

"That poor wall." Naruto said, a smile tugging at her lips. The blush at seeing Rias' breasts caused Kushina and Minato to chuckle.

Just as Rias was about to stand up and head to the room containing her bed, a bright, orange light filled the room. Blinking, she looked over at the floor, where a summoning circle she recognized as belonging to Naruto appeared.

A second later said boy appeared within the single.

Rias raised an eyebrow.

"Naruto?"

Her voice had him snapping his eyes over to her, a frantic look in them.

"I've seen that look before." Tsunade said. Kushina nodded, having a good idea of what was wrong with her son at the moment.

"Rias!" Like a man who had just seen his life raft after being tossed into a raging maelstrom, Naruto rushed over to her. Rias would have leaned back as the blond-haired Uzumaki placed his hands on her shoulder and began shaking her back and forth. "Quick! You have to hide me! You have to save me!"

"Hide you? Save you?" Rias gripped the frantic blond's forearms to stop him from shaking her. "What's going on, Naruto? And why are you shirtless?" She looked at him again, then blinked. "And is that glitter?"

The group was laughing at the scene, whereas Naruto was just confused

"What in the hell?"

It was indeed. Covering Naruto from head to toe was mass quantities of glitter. His defined, male body sparkled and shone with each movement, even as thousands of tiny sparkles flew off him from his frantic movements.

The blue-eyed Devil looked almost like he had been shot at point blank with several glitter canons.

"Never mind that!" Naruto's panicked eyes flickered around the room, as if he were expecting to be attacked any second now. "You have to protect me!"

"Protect you?" Rias' eyebrows furrowed. "From what?"

"From them!"

"Fangirls." Kushina growled. Naruto had paled, remembering the fangirls he had gotten after saving Konoha form Pain. He understood why Sasuke tended to avoid anything fangirl wise.

Rias was just about to open her mouth and ask who 'them' was, but never got the chance. At that exact moment, the door to the Occult Research Club Room was busted open.

"Oh God! They found me!"

Rias blinked as several dozen girls, all covered in glitters and sparkles and glow-in-the-dark armbands rushed into the room.

"What exactly did you get yourself into?" Rias asked, a little miffed about all the glitter getting everywhere. It may not have been her office but by Maou she liked it clean!

"I have no clue." Was the deadpan response from the blonde in question.

"There he is!"

"Let's get them!"

"Come back here, Naruto-kun!"

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!"

Quicker then Rias could actually follow, Naruto bolted towards the window. Seconds later, the glass was shattered as the blond jumped through the window without even bothering to open it.

"That is defiantly coming out of your pay."

"Yeah I know." Naruto grumbled.

"AFTER HIM GIRLS!"

It wasn't long after Naruto had left that the girls filed out of the room, leaving Rias alone. Said buxom beauty could only sit there, staring at the now broken down door and busted window with wide, blinking eyes.

"What just happened?"

"Isn't that the million Ryo question?" Minato said, before taking the book from Akeno. Before he could start a knock came from the door the group had come through. Theodore was there in an instant, opening the door to let whoever had arrived. Rias had a feeling she should have hidden the book when a familiar head of crimson hair was the first thing she noticed.

Heh heh heh. kami i love cliffhangers. even obvious ones.

In Light we find victory

SandewrPally
