Review Response:
Redem6blight: I hope this chapter pleases you, as you are right, the devils usually get off scot-free in the canon. Here, use this rocket propelled hammer.
Guest: I am coming up with Danzo's intentions as I go along, but I have an interesting idea.
Calderoneric758: Yeah, the masters from Kenichi are monsters. Also, thank you, you gave me the idea for Sabo's first Peerage member.
NaruCrazy: I address this in the Author's Notes at the bottom.
Nicholas: I debated on having Katakuri be apart of Falbium Asmodeus's Peerage, I think I might do that because it would be funny.
Reggad: Whose Dark Stanley?
Atengawchok: I address this in the Author's Notes at the bottom.
WhateverPlus: Thank you.
Borello: Thank you.
Marrowack: Dice… is he the guy Zoro fights at the end, the 'It hurts so good' guy?
PLEASE READ: Yubashiri belonged to Kushina, so Naruto would NEVER give it to anyone. Borrow, yes, but it is HIS and no one else. The Ymir sounds good for Rossweisse. Thank you for the ideas for the Demon Swords. It was just meant to be a throwaway line, but I am going to go with some of your ideas. I WILL ABSOLUTELY DO THE SUPERNOVA! FUCK YES!
Hitmonlee: I actually have someone using the Black Leg Style, they are introduced this chapter in fact. Keep an eye out.
Harem:
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO, ONE PIECE, HIGHSCHOOL DXD OR ANY OTHER ANIME I MAY REFERENCE!

Chapter 19: Point to Prove
Lucifer's Castle, Early Morning…
"We fucked up, badly." Sirzechs groaned in self-irritation as he talked to Grayfia as they got ready for the day.
"You mean with the Asmoda incident with Lady Misla?" Grayfia asked slowly, not wanting to add salt to a festering wound.
"What else?" Sirzechs asked his wife in defeat. "Me and the others selected Gato to lead the town, but he ended up hiding his drug and slave ring under our noses."
He face palmed.
"It got Aunt Misla hurt, on top of Koneko and Naruto." Sirzechs continued. "If we had only paid more attention, we could have caught Gato long ago."
"He was doing a good job, there was no way to suspect him." Grayfia said as she tried to calm him down, but not say it was 'Okay' that it happened. "This just means you, Falbium, Ajuka, and Serafall just have to do better."
Sirzechs hugged his wife.
"I am happy that I have you in my life, my beloved." He told her.
Grayfia hugged him back with a smile.
"Me too."
*KNOCK, KNOCK*
"Lord Lucifer!"
"Come in." Sirzechs called out as he and Grayfia separated before the servant entered.
"Your cousin, Sairaorg called this morning." They said with gasps, having run from the phone to the bedroom. "Your aunt Misla is in a coma…"
Sirzechs's now calm demeanor was destroyed as he heard of the disease.
"Does Lord Bael…"
"He was informed… but it didn't seem to bother him…"
"Typical." Sirzechs said in irritation as he dismissed the servant.
Lord Bael was a shrewd man, having disowned Misla for 'birthing a failure' and Sairaorg for not being born with the Power of Destruction.
"Sirzechs, you have a meeting with the other Satan's and then the rest of the day will be spent on preparing for the Festival of the End." Grayfia reminded him.
"Alright, thank you, Grayfia." Sirzechs said before his kissed her cheek, knowing the moment they left their bedroom, it was business only.
Grayfia kissed his cheek and they left.
Several minutes passed before Sirzechs, Serafall, Ajuka, and Falbium were seated.
"We will put aside the decision for a new mayor for Asmoda until after the Festival," Sirzechs informed as his coworkers agreed. "But first, what shall we do with the speech. The Gallant Toad Sage Jiraiya passed away last year, so we need to alter it to add him to the list of deceased."
As the Satan's gathered, the Three Elders had their own meeting.
Danzo, Koharu, and Homura sat around a circular table.
"So, the kitsune is a Conqueror, like his grandfather." Koharu stated as she frowned. "I had thought I would be dead before another Conqueror would be born."
"It is something we need to handle carefully." Homura replied. "If left untrained, the boy could attack comrade and enemy alike. We need to get him a tutor."
"Indeed," Danzo said as he rapped his fingers against the table. "I have offered to train the boy in haki, but Sairaorg seems hesitant to allow it."
"Probably because it is YOU he doesn't trust." Homura joked.
"I do recommend someone who we all trust with the Grandson of the Ashura and the Son of the Red Reaper." Koharu added as she pulled out a file. "We could call back our mediator with the Yokai Faction."
"No, Yamato's job is too important for her to leave just to train Uzumaki." Danzo rebuffed. "She needs to stay and continue working with Yasaka and Sengoku."
"Odd that you are against this, Danzo." Koharu mentioned, pointing at her fellow Elder. "You would normally be on board with a Conqueror being trained."
"You forget, Koharu," Homura said as his eyes narrowed behind his glasses. "Danzo's kind has a special diet, and one that can be dangerous at that."
Danzo snarled slightly, his bandaged eye and sealed arm tensing.
"I'll have you know that my men are not affected by my… nature. The boy would be safe under my care." Danzo reassured.
The three Elders could not come to a conclusion, so they decided that it would be best to save the conversation for a different time, and proceeded with their usual meeting.
Evening, Lucifer's Castle…
"Wow…" Naruto said as he saw how huge the castle was.
"I know, its huge." Regulus said as they entered.
"I have lived in a castle, but not like this…" Naruto said as he felt a bit anxious being in a new place that he had never been to before. "It's too much."
"Naruto!"
Naruto was tackled by Koneko.
"Hey, Koneko." Naruto said as he hugged her, rubbing their faces together. "You doing alright?"
"Yeah, I have… well, I have had a few nightmares, but they are not super bad." Koneko told him.
Naruto's smile faltered slightly.
"Come on, you two love birds." Regulus laughed, making the two children blush.
Meanwhile…
"You mean it, brother?" Ravel asked with stars in her eyes.
"Yep, my masters deemed my training complete." Sabo said with a smile as he put his hand on his Rook.
Yes, Sabo had his first (Currently Only) Piece.
"Yep, the masters were kind enough to let me become your brothers Rook." She said as she knelt down to Ravel's level. "And Sabo told me all about you, Ravel. You are cuter than he said."
"Kisara, don't." Sabo said with a blush.
Kisara is a beautiful young girl of average height. She has fair skin, full lips, and bright green eyes. She sports a slender frame with a fairly small bust size, curvy hips and round buttocks. She also has well defined muscularly toned legs. She has shiny, unkempt red hair which she wears with a green cap. She wore a similar steampunk style to Sabo, but with some Aztec like additions.
She wore knee high boots on her feet, with pants that had been cut in a certain way to let restrict her leg movement, with one leg completely bare. Around her waist was yellow sash like wrap with the ends in front of her.
She wore a steampunk overcoat above what appeared to be a regular red t-shirt that was cut short, showing some of her mid-rift.
Peaking out from under the shirt, was what appeared to be the bottom of a Sun Tattoo.
"Really? He hasn't told me anything about you." Ravel said as she looked at Kisara. "You're so pretty, so I am surprised he never mentioned you."
"Ravel!"
Kisara giggled at her King's antics.
"Don't worry, Sabo is just a goofball." Kisara said with a chuckle. "But I am happy he has a cute little sister."
Ravel blushed.
"ANYWAY," Sabo said as he tried to get the conversation off of himself. "Ravel, did you make any friends since I left?"
"Yep!" Ravel said as she smiled. "I got two familiars. A Tenko called Onimaru and a Hellhound called Loona."
"A real Tenko and Hellhound?" Kisara asked as she got stars in her eyes.
She really loved animals, cats especially.
"Yes, I can introduce you to them later." Ravel said in excitement.
"Familiars are nice, Ravel, but do you have any friends that are your age?" Sabo asked with some concern.
Ravel had not been much of an outgoer when it came to interacting with other devils.
Ravel's face saddened.
"No…"
"Well, I guess we can change that." Sabo said as he had a sudden idea as he took Ravel's hand.
"You thinking of that fox kid, right?" Kisara asked Sabo, whose smile just got bigger.
Meanwhile…
Rias, Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko walked with Naruto, Sairaorg, Kuisha, Coriana, Misteeta, Beruka, Liban, Ladora, Regulas, and Gandoma.
"I hope I don't run into Riser…" Rias said as she felt her stomach turn.
"Who?"
Rias glanced at Naruto, who asked.
"Well…"
"Rias is engaged to this really perverted guy named Riser Phenex." Koneko told Naruto, who she was holding hands with as they made their way to the ballroom.
"Oh… wait, Phenex? The same house as Sabo?" Naruto asked curiously.
"You know Sabo?" Rias asked in surprise.
"Yeah, he helped save me and…" Naruto paused before he finished. "Pervy Sage."
Koneko felt Naruto squeeze her hand.
'Pervy Sage?' Rias thought.
"Evening, Rias."
"Sona."
Sona Sitri stood with her Queen, Tsubaki.
"Sup, Sona."
"Sairaorg."
"AHA, found you!"
The Kings turned and saw Sabo, Ravel, and Kisara approaching them.
"Sabo." Sairaorg said with a smirk.
Sabo and Sairaorg knuckled each other before giving the other and hug.
"Guess what, I am back due to finishing my training." Sabo said in excitement.
"Awesome, we got to fight soon." Sairaorg said as he put his arm around Sabo.
"Nice to see you again, Sabo." Sona said as she shook his hand.
"Same here." Rias said.
"Don't forget me."
"GUTS!" Koneko shouted as she ran up and hugged said King.
"You doing better?" he asked as he hugged her, Casca arriving as the rest of their peerage were getting food and enjoying themselves.
"We were worried about you." Casca said as she knelt and checked the white haired girl over.
"I am fine, Casca." Koneko restated, but appreciated the concern.
"Anyway, is Naruto here?" Sabo asked as he looked through the group.
"You called?" Naruto spoke out as he heard his name.
"How you been, kid?"
"Well, I am a Rokushiki master now." Naruto stated with a childish grin. "Of the basics of course, but it still counts."
"That's a big step, I am proud of you." Sabo said as he patted Naruto's head, ruffling his hair.
Naruto frowned as he fixed his headband.
"Naruto, this is my sister, Ravel." Sabo said as he stepped aside, putting his hand on Ravel's back and gently nudging her forward. "I would like it if you two became friends."
"h-Hello." Ravel said as she did her best to present herself perfectly. "I am Ravel Phenex, Fourth Child of the House of Phenex."
"Uhm… I am U… Naruto Bael." Naruto corrected, nearly forgetting he was using the name Bael. "It is nice to meet you."
Naruto took Ravel's hand and kissed it.
Ravel blushed hard enough to emit steam as Koneko felt the hair on the back of her neck stand on end.
Sabo laughed as Kisara covered her mouth with a light pink tinge on her cheeks.
'Young love~" She thought.
"What… is that not what I was supposed to do?" Naruto asked in confusion as he stood up.
"NO, you Weren't." Koneko said as she stepped between Ravel and Naruto, glaring at the Phenex.
"Well, we have some time before the Festival is suppose to start, so why don't you three go off and play, get to know each other." Sabo urged as he wanted his sister to have friends her age.
"Okay." Naruto said as he took Ravel and Koneko by the hands and led them away, eager to make a new friend.
"They are cute." Kisara said as she looked at the children. "I hope they become good friends."
"I say Naruto and Koneko are cuter." Casca added, smirking as Kisara gave her a glare.
"You going to explain?" Sairaorg and Rias asked Sabo.
Sabo smiled and explained his reasoning.
All the while, Zodd, and other members of the Satan's Peerages walking around as security.
Few Minutes Later…
Riser Phenex was walking through the crowd.
'Riser can't find Ravel anywhere…' he thought in irritation.
The Ceremony to start the Festival of the End was going to start soon, and he wanted his sister to not get lost.
"… then we were chased out of the village by a mob of angry women. They thought he kidnapped me."
"No… that's horrible."
"Sounds like Jiraiya to me."
Riser heard these sentences and turned, seeing Ravel… with Naruto and Koneko.
"I know, it is stupid, but Pervy Sage was quite the…" Naruto was interrupted when Riser pulled him away from Ravel.
"What are you doing with Riser's sister?" Riser demanded as he glared at the kitsune.
"Uh… talking?" Naruto replied with heavy amounts of confusion.
"You aren't worth the breath used to speak, so be gone." Riser demanded, not wanting his sister to be around those beneath her.
"Brother!"
Riser ignored Ravel as Naruto looked at Koneko, who shrugged.
"You said Riser? You work for him?"
Riser had a vein bulge on his forehead.
"Riser is Riser Phenex."
Naruto snorted, not able to hold it in enough.
"Geez, how old are you? Why the hell are you speaking in the third person?" Naruto pointed out with an insulting smile. "You sound like a baby!"
Riser tsk'd.
"You little bastard!" Riser shouted as he swung on Naruto.
Naruto pushed Koneko to the side, taking Riser's punch to the face.
"…wo… Brother, your hand." Ravel gasped.
Riser looked at his hand, eyes widening.
The skin on his knuckles being torn off, blood and bone visible before fire engulfed it to heal him.
"That hurt, asshole." Naruto said as he held his cheek, having used Tekkai to defend but his cheek still stung slightly, showing how strong Riser was physically.
"You got lucky I was holding back, brat."
"I'd rather be a brat instead of being inbred, like you." Naruto shot back.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" Riser shouted as his hands were covered in fire, drawing everyone's attention to him and Naruto.
Naruto's hand grabbed Yubashiri from his frog wallet.
Riser and Naruto lunged at each other.
"Enough!"
Riser and Naruto were grabbed by the back of their heads by Zodd's, who smashed them into the ground.
"What is going on?"
"My King." Zodd said to Sirzechs with a bow. "These two got to excited and thought it would be good to fight here."
Sirzechs kept his composure, but face palmed in his mind.
'Why did this have to happen?' He thought as Zodd released Riser and Naruto.
"Riser… Riser won't stand for this humiliation!" Riser stated as his body healed.
"Bring it, Stutter?" Naruto insulted.
"Enough!" Zodd shouted, drawing a gigantic Horse-Slaying sword, holding it between the two males. "If you two take one more step toward each other…"
"Hold on, Zodd." Sirzechs said as he smiled, an idea entering his mind. "I have an idea."
"My Lord?" Riser asked in confusion.
"We the Satan's were having a hard time coming up with some entertainment to start this years Festival." Sirzechs said as he looked at Naruto and Riser. "So, why don't we start it with a fight between Riser Phenex and Naruto Bael."
'Bael?' Riser thought as he glanced at Naruto, who was dusting himself off. 'This brat is a part of the Bael Peerage? He is weak. Why would Sairaorg resurrect this weakling? But if it is a fight, Riser can win.'
"Riser accepts this honor, my Lord." Riser said as he bowed.
Sirzechs turned to Naruto.
Naruto looked past Sirzechs and saw Koneko and Ravel.
Ravel shook her head.
Koneko gave a thumbs up.
"I wouldn't mind helping you… sir." Naruto said as he bowed, being polite.
"Perfect." Sirzechs said as he clapped his hands. "Please, return to your peerages and explain the situation and in five minutes, you will be sent to the arena."
"Huh?" Naruto said in confusion.
"Riser will win, pipsqueak."
Naruto scowled as he glared at Riser.
"Try if you can, Niwatori." Naruto said, thinking of the Yugioh Niwatori card.
Riser smirked.
"Let's make this interesting, brat." Riser said as he posed with his left arm under his right, his right index finger pointing up. "A bet. If Riser wins, Riser gets that sword."
Naruto's eyes twitched in irritation.
"What if I win?"
"If you win, Riser will do or give anything you want." Riser said, not really believing he himself could lose.
"Fine." Naruto said as he and Riser shook hands.
'I won't lose, prepare to lose that sword.'
'Yubashiri was my mom's, there is NO way I am going to give it up.' Naruto thought as he walked away.
Ravel ran up to Riser… and kicked him right in the shin.
"GRA…. RAVEL!"
"You are an ass!" Ravel shouted, choked and tears in her eyes. "He is my friend and you… you… Fuck you!"
Ravel ran off to find their parents.
To say that Jonathan and Layla were shocked… was a massive understatement.
Sairaorg…
"YOU DID WHAT!"
"HE STARTED IT!"
Sairaorg bit his lip, choosing his words carefully.
Naruto was standing before him and Kuisha, the rest of the peerage and the rest of the guests being debriefed on the 'entertainment' that would be Naruto Vs Riser.
"Look, Naruto." He said as Naruto looked at his King. "You reacted to his provocation."
"He was being an asshole. Why shouldn't I kick his ass!" Naruto asked.
"Because what does this fight end with?" Kuisha asked in concern. "Both of you will be hurt."
"You think I can't win?" Naruto asked as he pulled away from his King and Queen. "You guys think that I can't do it. That I am a loose cannon… or that I am a monster."
"What are you talking about?" Sairaorg asked, standing up and looking Naruto in the eyes. "This isn't about what you can or can't do."
"You…" Naruto started, pointing at Sairaorg, biting his lip before looking away. "…"
"What?"
"…"
"Naruto, you have to speak up." Kuisha said as she knelt next to him.
"I don't want you to see me as incapable or a lai…liabl…"
"Liability?"
"Yes, that."
Sairaorg didn't say anything as he saw the pieces slowly fall into place.
Flashback…
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Sairaorg shouted as he grabbed Naruto. "YOU DID THIS, SO DON'T TOUCH HER!"
"SAIRAORG, WHAT THE FUCK!" Kuisha shouted as she watched Sairaorg push Naruto away from the bed.
Naruto held his arm, tears in his eyes as the words Sairaorg shouted.
Sairaorg stopped in his tracks as he saw this.
End Flashback…
'That…'
"Naruto…"
"Riser Phenex, Naruto Bael, the Arena has been completed, we are now going to send you to it." Grayfia announced over the loud speaker.
Magic circles appeared under Riser and Naruto, both of them appearing in a bland arena.
It was fifty-foot by fifty-foot area of stone.
"Riser, Naruto, you have thirty seconds before the match starts." Grayfia announced as a thirty second timer appeared before them and started to count down.
"Riser looks forward to his new sword." Riser goaded.
"As if, fuck face." Naruto said as he had Shigure and Yubashiri appear at his hip, drawing Yubashiri before taking a Kendo Stance. "Try taking Yubashiri from my hand, if I don't take your hand that is."
"Boasts of the loser." Riser said as he threw off his coat dramatically.
5…
4…
3…
2…
1…
"Start."
Naruto raised Yubashiri above his head as he used Soru to closed the distance, swinging down as he transformed into his hybrid form, now standing equal to Riser in height.
Riser raised his arms to block.
Yubashiri took off Riser's arms.
Chapter 19, DONE!
Sabo's Rook, Kisara, is Kisara from Kenichi, but I made some… changes to her fighting style. *Chuckle*
I made some changes to the previous chapter, so if you didn't notice, I think you'd like them if you read the chapter again.
To all who are angry at me for Misla's disease being activated when Naruto used Conqueror's Haki… do you guys remember who TOLD Sairaorg? It was Danzo. He wants Naruto. Lying to Sairaorg about the activation of Misla's disease is not beneath him. I thought it would have been cool to have it like a mystery of how it actually happened, but I was proven wrong, thus I made the edits.
Besides that, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
The Satan's discussing how they screwed up, the Elders trying to figure out what to do with Naruto's untrained haki potential, and now the fight between Riser and Naruto.
It was difficult trying to figure out how Riser would get the fight started, as in Werefox, he threw Kushina's pelt off a balcony and this pissed Naruto off beyond anger.
So, I decided a goofy reason would be better. If it doesn't sit well, I apologize. Some help or recommendations on how it could have been better is appreciated.
Besides that, if you liked the chapter, please leave a review. If you didn't like the chapter, leave a review anyway as it helps me become a better author.
