"Just leave me alone for a while. I need some time," said Naruto.
"As you wish." Intetsu vanished in a grey light and Naruto sighed while he massaged his temples. He was standing in the forest and had a massive headache right now. Why did this shit always happen to him?
He opened his eyes and looked up to the sky. The sky already began to had the color orange because the sun was about to set. He simply began to walk and thought about everything that he learned today.
…
"I fucking hate my life," said Naruto to no one. He cursed at his luck like always. Why did he had to get into this entire shit and why couldn't Intetsu simply have chosen another host? If he hadn't Intetsu inside of himself since his birth, he wouldn't never have the ability to adept in every fight and he wouldn't even live anymore.
He frowned and looked up into the sky, watching the clouds a bit. He did it automatically after his experience from before where his mind began to get light as a feather, and he was in some kind of trance state where he didn't think about something in particular and simply let this thoughts flow like water. Just like before became his eyes unfocused and his body moved on it's own and dodged every obstacle that was in his way. Trees, bushes, other things in nature and while he walked through the dense forest, his body even paused sometimes and simply stood there for a few minutes before it simply began to walk again.
"Naruto, be careful! Our target is near us!" said Sakura.
"I know, Sakura-chan. My Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clones) already search exactly where he is," said Naruto while he pushed himself forward and flew a bit further than before.
"I hope you still remember the plan," said Sakura with serious voice.
"Come one, I know I wasn't the smartest in the past, but I became better! You don't need to treat me like the loser I was 2 years ago, alright?" asked Naruto, a bit annoyed.
Sakura flinched a bit when she saw Naruto's blue eyes. They looked at her a bit angrily because she still treated him like a child from time to time. She didn't even do this on purpose. "I'm sorry, I know that. It's just that you have changed so much that I don't recognize you from time to time and when I don't know how to handle the situation, I fall back into old things," said Sakura a bit down.
"Don't worry and focus. I found him, he is 2 miles south from us, let's go," said Naruto and landed on a tree before he pushed himself off the tree and catapulted himself through the air towards his destination. Sakura did the same and became focused.
Naruto crossed his fingers and 5 Kage Bunshin appeared around him. "Scatter and look for potential threats while we deal with Kagusa," said Naruto. All 5 Kage Bunshin said, "ROGER!" and vanished in a flickering motion.
Sakura could never understand how her once idiotic hyperactive teammate who always had this goofy smile on his face became the serious and calm Shinobi he was today. She missed the goofy Naruto from time to time when she was honest. Since the Chunin Finals and the death from the third Hokage, Naruto changed a lot. He took everything more seriously and trained like never before. He trained like a maniac under the tutelage from Jiraiya to become stronger. Team 7 as it was didn't exist after the finals anymore. He left the team with the reason that he needed to become way stronger to be able to protect those he held precious.
From that day onward… let's say he wasn't the same anymore. He basically left the team to become the permanent student of Jiraiya. He learned many things under Jiraiya and just half a year later did he became a Chunin after he brought back Tsunade to the village.
The time after the Finals was tough for Konoha since they didn't have a suitable Hokage. Shikaku Nara took over the role until someone better was found and after long debates and meetings, the decision was made to made Tsunade Senju the next official Hokage.
She smiled slightly when she saw Naruto's backside. Even when she missed the goofy and always carefree Naruto a bit, this Naruto right in front of her was better and much easier to deal with.
"I will cover you, so don't hold back," said Sakura while both already saw their target in the distance. She already made motions with her hand to prepare a Genjutsu while Naruto charged at their target with 30 Kage Bunshin that appeared out of nowhere beside Naruto.
The fight wasn't even worth mentioning since Naruto was faster and stronger than their target. Sakura didn't even have to do anything this time since Naruto just was stronger than the target. In the end were 2 Kage Bunshin holding the target down while Naruto formed with a single hand a Ōdama Rasengan (Giant Rasengan) and slammed it into the target, killing him in the process.
Sakura noticed it a year ago, that Naruto didn't need a Kage Bunshin anymore to use the Rasengan. He always needed a Kage Bunshin but after one year training under Jiraiya had he perfected the Rasengan. He could use the normal Rasengan with one hand and even the stronger version he used just a few seconds ago to kill the target. The Ōdama Rasengan was simply a bigger and stronger version than the normal Rasengan.
Naruto came back to reality when the memory ended. He looked around and saw that he was at the edge of the forest. He could see Kuoh in the distance and a few birds that were flying out of the forest behind Naruto.
'What the?' He didn't know what just happened. Firstly, he watched the clouds and went into that state again like before but after just a few seconds he found himself in the body of Naruto, who looked almost identical to himself. He didn't watch the scene from the outside this time. He was the Naruto in the memory this time and he did everything himself. It was weird… like he knew everything he did in the memory. Creating clones, jumping long distances without breaking a sweat, getting memories after a clone dispelled, talking with Sakura, arguing with her for a bit and the fight, it was like he really did all of this himself and not someone else. He even remembered the feeling when he creates this weird blue rotating sphere over his right hand, with which he killed the enemy in the memory.
He held up his hand and looked at it.
…
He shook his head and lowered his hand. He began to walk again, having enough for one day. It just became worse and worse. He just wanted to go to his apartment to sleep a bit. He didn't need more shit he had to deal with for now. All the information from Intetsu was enough.
"So that was what happened?"
"Yes Buchō, I saw it with my own two eyes. The rumors about his talent in martial arts were true. He used different martial arts to take down the thief first and afterwards did he use martial arts in the beginning to fight against a stray devil who had strong regeneration abilities. I also saw his Sacred Gear for the first time. Just like we thought, his sacred gear took the form of a sword," said Koneko Tōjō.
Koneko was a petite girl with white hair and gold eyes. The front of her hair had two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back had a short bob cut. She also wore a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair. She wore the girls' school uniform, without the shoulder cape.
She stood in front of a desk. The room was lit only by a few candles. Right in the middle of the room was a table with a candlestick on it, momentarily illuminating the room. Right and left was a black leather couch, where 4 people could fit on it. Directly behind the table and further along the back wall of the room was a solid wood desk that had elegant carvings carved into the wood.
Behind the desk was a single leather chair where the person who was speaking to Koneko was currently sitting. There was another window in the room with curtains on it. There was even a functional shower in the right rear corner. Directly next to the double doors, which led to the room, there were cupboards for books, glasses and other things on the right and left. A few pictures of landscapes or houses hung on the walls, which did not appear to be of that age. There were also some animals in the landscapes that shouldn't have existed at that time.
The person sitting on the leather chair at the desk was looking into Koneko's golden eyes with her blue-green eyes. She was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous body, white skin and already said blue-green eyes. She had a very curvy figure with massive breasts, unlike Koneko's. Many say that this woman was the number 1 beauty at the Kuoh Academy. She wore her normal attire, which consisted of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt (short sleeves for spring/summer), with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white accents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks. This was the normal school uniform of the Kuoh Academy for females. After all, this woman was a student of the Kuoh Academy. She was also the president of the occult research club.
Her name was Rias Gremory, sister of the current Satan Sirzechs Gremory or Sirzechs Lucifer. She did not view her peerage members as servants but as family members. The Gremory were known to treat their peerage members as a second family and not as servants or slaves.
"And what? I still don't like it that you really reincarnated him into a devil," said another voice in the room. The voice belonged to another beautiful woman in the same age as Rias. She was a beautiful young woman of average height with a beautiful face, white skin, and ruby eyes. She had long crimson hair tied into twin tails using yellow ribbons. She has a bewitching body, her were boobs massive just like Rias' and a voluptuous figure.
She too was wearing Kuoh Academy girls' uniform which consisted of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, a black shoulder cape and matching button-down corset, and a magenta skirt with white accents. That was Stella Vermillion, another member of the Occult Research Club.
"We talked about it, Stella. I couldn't let someone like Naruto Uzumaki die, you know why," said Rias with narrowed eyes. She knew how much her Knight hated man because of their looks and their pervert nature.
"Still, he is just like everyone else. You don't even know if he really joins us. That man is only trouble and even when he isn't a pervert like 99% of man, he is just a delinquent who does nothing but fight for no reason," said Stella while she crossed her arms beneath her massive breasts.
"Ara ara, are you possibly interested in him, Stella-chan? You know more than you let on," said another heavenly voice inside of the room. The Occult Research Club was known for a few things, but one thing stood out: All members were female and every one was a real beauty with an appearance not from this world. This was how every student from Kuoh Academy saw it.
Stella went red and turned her head to the side, being extremely angry. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING, AKENO? AS IF I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A DISGUSTING MAN LIKE THAT!"
Akeno Himejima was the viz-president of the occult search club and one of the 4 queens of the Kuoh Academy. Stella and Rias were part of those "4 queens" as the students called them.
Akeno was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair was usually tied in a very long ponytail, reaching all the way down to the floor with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place. Just like Rias and Stella did she have a very seductive and curvy body with massive breasts. Her breasts were even a bit larger than Rias' and Stella's.
Like most of the girls at Kuoh Academy, she wore the customary Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, along with black calf-length socks.
Akeno held a hand in front of her face to hide her smile. "Ara, ara…"
"That's enough, Akeno," said Rias and looked at her Queen. Akeno was the first peerage member she recruited and reincarnated into a devil. She was her second in command and one of her best friends. She would lay her life into her hands just like into the hands from her other peerage members.
"As you wish, Buchō," said Akeno with an innocent smile. It wasn't rare that Akeno brought Stella or another member of the Occult Research Club into a state of anger. She loved to tease other people and especially her 2 club members. She sat down on the right leather couch and looked at Rias.
"Stella, he is very important. He is one of the last living Uzumaki, he could even be the last one," said Rias. "Besides that, I think he would fit very well into our group. He has the right abilities to complete our group," argued Rias.
Stella calmed down a bit when Rias talked to her again. "Even Koneko doesn't mind his reincarnation and she hates boys just like you," said Rias. "She knows that he is different from the others."
Koneko sat on the other leather couch and was eating some sweets she got from Akeno just a few seconds ago. She simply nodded her head to Rias and continued to eat her sweets.
"I am still against it. Just think about the thinks Vali told us. He does nothing else beside fighting in the underworld of the human world to find stronger opponents. He even ignored the price money when he won a fight. He simply left the fight when he won and ignored everyone," said Stella.
Rias sighed and shook her head. She loved every single member of her peerage. They were her family, and nothing would change that but even her family gave her a headache sometimes. Stella had a strong mindset and didn't change her mind so fast. She was stubborn and it didn't matter what Rias told her right now, she would not change her mind.
"Well, I'm sorry Stella but you have to life with it. He is a devil now and he will join us, no matter what you think about that. I am sure you will change your mind once you get to know him," said Rias.
"Don't say this like you know him personally. It could still be that he won't even join us. Just know that I will kill him if I ever see him peek at one of us or if he threatens us," said Stella before she took her school bag and left the room.
"She won't change her mind that fast," said Akeno.
"No but she had told us all her mind before. It was my decision to reincarnate Naruto Uzumaki. I will have to life with her behavior," said Rias.
"Let's forget that topic for now… she made a good point with one thing: Naruto Uzumaki is not the type of man who would bow down to anyone when the reports from Vali were right and we know that her reports are always right," said Akeno with a more serious voice and face. Right now, wasn't she playing around, she talked with her King about a serious topic.
"It could really be that he would attack us, Rias. I have nothing against Naruto Uzumaki, but the possibility is still there, and you know that," said Akeno.
"Yes, I know…" Rias explained her plan to Akeno to get Naruto's trust and the guarantee to get him to join their peerage.
After a few minutes were the conversation over and Koneko stood up from the black leather couch. "Buchō, are you sure? The fallen angels in the city could hinder your plan," said Koneko.
"Yes, Koneko. It is very important that we succeed or else his existence will become public knowledge. So far, my family had hidden his existence successfully but now that he is a devil and he knows about the supernatural world, we can't simply hide his presence anymore. It is time for us to act," said Rias.
"I follow you, Buchō," said Koneko.
Rias smiled at her Rook. "I know that, Koneko," said Rias.
"It's only the question when will we do it? He is at his apartment currently and is simply sleeping. He doesn't even come to school just like normally. He only comes to school when he needs another set of uniforms and when exams were written and since the next exam is in 2 weeks, he doesn't have a reason to come here," said Akeno.
"Oh, he has a reason to come to school. When he fought the fallen angel, his last uniform got shredded and he don't have any left," said Rias.
"Oh, I understand, that will be fun," said Akeno while she licked her lips a little with a seductive smile.
"Akeno, control yourself," said Rias.
Akeno raised both eyes for a second before she held a hand in front of her lips. "Ara ara, I'm sorry Buchō. I didn't even realize it," said Akeno innocently.
Akeno Himejima was an angel from the outside but deep inside of her was a hidden side that was only known by the members of the occult research club. In secret was she highly sadistic in battle and didn't show any mercy or remorse towards the enemies she slayed, casually keeping up her smiling elegant persona over an enemy's death and showing an expression of pleasure and lust upon delivering them pain.
Hearing how Naruto's uniform got shredded was a statement that he got a lot of pain which turned her on automatically. It was fucked up, but that was Akeno Himejima in her living flesh.
"I ask myself if Vali is successful this time," said Rias while she leaned back in her leather chair.
"We can only wait and see. She searches for her rival for a long time, and it could well be that she still needs time to find her," said Akeno.
"Yes, I know," said Rias.
Vali was her only pawn and the strongest member of her peerage and family. Vali's full name was Vali Lucifer. She was a direct descendant of the original lucifer and had inherited massive demonic power. She was also a half devil and because of that did she had the chance to get a sacred gear, which she got. Her sacred gear was the Divine Dividing, one of the original Longinus Sacred Gears. With her lineage and her sacred gear was it clear that she would become the strongest member of Rias' peerage at one point or another.
Rias had found her when she was still young. Rias gave her a place to belong to and after Vali joined her, both became best friends pretty quickly. Vali thanked Rias everything that happened to her. She gave Vali a place, a family and the feeling to be welcome even when she was the great-granddaughter from the original lucifer. The Gremory clan took her in and showed her what it meant to have a family. Vali would always be on Rias side no matter what would happen.
"Could you say his name again?" asked a woman with long black hair and black eyes. She stood in a room which looked like an office. She stood in front of a desk where a man sat in a leather chair.
"I said that we got reports about a person with the name of Naruto Uzumaki and I want you to confirm the reports. No one has seen an Uzumaki for 200 years and if it would really be true, then we have to act. He lives in Kuoh, and we know who rules over Kuoh," said Azazel.
Azazel was a tall man appearing to be in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs and black goatee. He also possessed twelve jet-black feathered wings that grew out from his back.
Azazel wore a V-neck maroon long-coat with a wide, open high-collar that opens up at the hem. The long-coat also featured two black belts around the waist and four black bands on each arm, two of the bands at the wrist and the other two near the elbow. He wore grey slacks and brown shoes.
That was Azazel, the leader of the fallen angels in the Grigori Group.
…
The woman didn't speak at first. It looked like she remembered something from her past because she looked a bit absent with her look. Azazel didn't know what was going on in her head, but he didn't say something.
"I will do it," said the woman.
"Are you sure? You know who lives in Kuoh. You told me that you didn't want to meet your rival even when Draig said it would be your fate," said Azazel.
"It is," a green orb appeared on the hand of the woman. The deep and powerful voice of Draig echoed through the office.
"And I said that I don't believe in fate," said the woman with an annoyed voice. "Don't annoy me with this topic again, Draig."
"Then why are you going to Kuoh? Albion will be able to feel me when you go there instantly, and his partner wants to find you and fight with you. Albion's partner knows that this fight can't be prevented. In one way or another will you meet your rival and you both will fight, that is your fate as the red dragon empress."
"My visit to Kuoh has nothing to do with this topic," said the woman. She knew that fate didn't exist. Someone showed it to her more than one time that fate didn't decide what you did with your life. You're the craftsmen of your on road. Everyone decides for themselves what road they wanted to walk.
"I will grant you your requests, but I am a bit curious… why are you so interested in Naruto Uzumaki? You never showed interest in anything. You are not our Ice Queen for nothing. No matter what was, you never showed interest in the things I asked you to do," said Azazel.
"That is not of your concern, Azazel," said the woman. "Just know that I will take the job and fulfill him like always." With this she turned around and left the office.
Azazel sighed when he looked at the door from his office. He stood up and turned around to look out of the window, watching over the facility of his organization. The sun was just about to vanish on the horizon, and he simply hoped he wasn't too late.
If Naruto Uzumaki was really real, then he couldn't allow someone to get him. The Uzumaki were haunted in the past and for 200 years everyone thought that they were really eradicated, and no one was left. The Uzumaki had the key for something that was wanted by many and still no one had been able to get the key from the Uzumaki. The Uzumaki never revealed anything no matter how much torture they went through.
Azazel and his group were one of the rare groups that didn't haunt the Uzumaki. He didn't want what the Uzumaki had sealed away all those thousands of years ago. He didn't want another war. He hated the war and simply wanted to do his research.
