Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be getting a timeskip to the start of canon, as we see the information Naruto's gathered about Devils and which Peerage he intends to join. Along with seeing another character he'll be meeting. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

Izumi groaned lightly as her alarm clock went off, making her reach out to turn it off. Taking a few tries before she hit the button but the moment she turned it off, her eyes immediately snapped open and she shot up from her bed.

'What?! My bed?! My room?! How did I get here?! I was-' Izumi thought rapidly, wondering how she ended up back in her room when the last the thing she remembered she was in the park on her date with…

'Yūma?! She stabbed me!' Thought Izumi, scrambling to get out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror only to blink in confusion when she saw her reflection.

Seeing the same pale, fair skin, long, messy brown hair that went down to her hips and light brown eyes. The only thing out of the ordinary is that she wasn't wearing her pajamas, instead only wearing her red lace lingerie that did little to contain her large DD-cup breasts and shapely ass, leaving nothing to the imagination.

The brunette blinked in confusion when she didn't see anything to show that she'd been stabbed, touching her stomach and chest to see if there's some hidden scar or soreness. But didn't feeling anything strange or indication she'd been stabbed.

'By a…spear made of light? And…Yūma asked me to die…then had black feathered wings…and the hottest dominatrix outfit I'd ever seen.' Izumi thought while grinning lewdly for a moment at remembering the sexy leather outfit Yūma had on, only to quickly shake her head.

'Ah! No focus! Your girlfriend stabbed you…I think…but then how did I get back home?' Thought Izumi in confusion since if Yūma had stabbed her, then why was she still alive and how did she get home.

'Could it have really been just a dream?' Izumi wondered, only to shake her head a moment later, doubting she could dream something that crazy.

Figuring she can just ask her parents what happened, Izumi grabbed her school uniform and got dressed before heading downstairs for breakfast. Seeing her parents, Gorou and Miki Hyoudou, already sitting at the table and eating until they noticed her and smiled.

"Glad to see you finally up, sweetheart. We were almost about to check and make sure you didn't sneak out your window or something." Miki said, smiling at their daughter as Izumi sat down and grabbed a plate she began filling with food.

"No, it was just a long night Kaa-san, longer than I thought it was. Did Yūma drop me off and bring me to my room?" Izumi asked while looking at her parents, only for them to give her confused looks.

"Yūma? Is that a new friend you made at school?" Gorou asked, making the brunette raise a brow.

"No…she's my girlfriend, she came over yesterday, you both met her and then we went out together. She was really nice, a little shy, black hair, violet eyes, pale skin. Don't you remember?" Said Izumi, only for her parents to still look at her blankly before they smiled at her.

"Well, whoever this Yūma is, she sounds rather lovely and you're more than welcome to bring her over anytime you like Izumi." Said Miki, with Gorou nodding in agreement.

"Your mom's right, no need to be shy about having a girlfriend, Izumi. Boy, girl, as long as you're happy we're happy. But if you were out on a secret date, then I suppose that explains why you slept in so late. It's surprising you even came home at all last night." Said Gorou while smiling proudly at their daughter for going all the way on her first date, much to Izumi's embarrassment.

"N-no-no-no! It's not like that, we didn't even kiss…though I think I saw her naked and wished I had a camera." Izumi said, muttering the latter part to herself still having the image of Yūma's clothes disappearing burned into her mind before she got the leather outfit.

"Oh my! Are you sure she's shy if she was willing to do that for you Izumi? She certainly sounds like your kind of girl if she got naked for you." Said Miki teasingly, which only embarrassed Izumi further.

"It really wasn't like that! It…was just really weird is all. Neither of you really remember her, yesterday?" Questioned Izumi, not wanting to talk about this stuff with her parents of all people.

'But if Yūma wanted I would've ripped my clothes off so we could have sex, right there in the park! Even hotter if she was a dominatrix, I'd be her slave any time!' Izumi thought lewdly, really wishing that had been the case, it would've been much more fun than whatever had actually happened last night.

"Sorry Izumi, but no one came over yesterday and you never told us anything about anyone named Yūma. But if you have a girlfriend then feel free to bring her over, whenever you like." Gorou replied, smiling at the brunette while Miki nodded in agreement.

"Or if you have a nice boy you'd like to introduce to. Maybe one that'll be…what did you always say…the Harem King of your harem?" Miki said with a teasing smile, while Izumi blushed in embarrassment.

Something only her parents and closest friends were aware of was Izumi's desire to have her own harem of beautiful girls, along with finding the one that'll be her Harem King.

'And then he'll have fuck us all so hard until we can't even move! While I'll be the Harem Queen and make sure he keeps coming back for more of my body to use, however he wants!' Izumi thought while giggling pervertedly, imagining getting her ideal Harem King making her scream for more as he reshaped her pussy for his use only.

Only to be pulled from her thoughts when she saw parents smiling at her in amusement, making the brunette blush at realizing she had giggled loud enough for them to hear.

"Oh look at the time, I gotta get to school! Love you, bye!" Izumi said, quickly finishing her breakfast before rushing to get her stuff and head to Kuoh Academy, much to her parents amusement.

"I told you she'd get a girlfriend, first." Stated Gorou, smirking at her wife pleased that he was right, making Miki roll her eyes.

"You don't know that; we still haven't seen any girlfriend. So she might still get a boyfriend, first." Miki retorted, having made a bet on Izumi getting a boyfriend first while Gorou betted on their daughter getting a girlfriend first.

*With Naruto*

Meanwhile, standing on top of a skyscraper, a now seventeen-year-old Naruto looked at Kuoh Town with narrowed eyes. With the whiskered blonde currently wearing his armor, along with the addition of a long brown cloak with ragged ends and covering the lower half of his face, giving him the appearance of a wanderer.

'Kuoh, where the Peerages of Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri are currently living. With the entire town being under the governance of the Gremory Heiress.' Naruto thought, not liking that he had to be surrounded by so many humans, but if wanted to become a Devil and discard his humanity, he'll bear with it.

After his encounter with Connla, Naruto had begun researching Devils, the Peerages they form and their Evil Pieces. Eventually learning about the Gremory Clan who were famous for the kindness they show to their servants. Meaning that as long as he performed his core duties as a Devil and followed any ground rules Rias established, he'd have more freedom than with any other Devil he'd have as a King.

Which would make things much more tolerable until he reached the rank of a High-Class Devil and would no longer be bound to her. Especially since, from his research, Naruto also learned about Stray Devils. Devils who have left or killed their King and turned into feral beasts as a result. Leading to them being hunted down by Devils, Angels, Exorcists and Fall Angels alike.

'I just need to find her now and make my offer, and make it clear this will only be temporary. Though, I'm sure she won't turn down a willing recruit, let alone one with so many Sacred Gears.' Naruto thought smirking, knowing Rias wouldn't resist getting someone with his power and Sacred Gears.

Aside from training with, and mastering, the power he got from Night Reflection, the Uzumaki had also gotten more Sacred Gears for his collection. With him having gained a Twice Critical from a Stray Devil that tried making a meal out of him. As well as a Sword Birth and Gravity Jail from members of the Hero Faction that were sent after him.

Not that he was surprised more members were sent after him, given Naruto didn't doubt that killing one member alone would be enough to get him on the Hero Faction's list.

'Not that I mind, every member they send is another power I gain and one less vermin alive. I only wonder what Sacred Gear they'll give me next time.' Naruto thought, eager for more members to be sent after him to increase his collection.

Before the Uzumaki sunk into the shadows to begin searching for Rias and extend his offer to join her.

*Later-With Izumi*

"So, are you really sure neither of you have heard of Yūma?!" Izumi asked while swinging her bokken at a training dummy.

At the moment the brunette was training with the Kendo Club, being an unofficial member thanks to her friendship with Murayama and Katase allowing her to train with them on occasion. With both girls being with her hitting their own training dummies as well.

Murayama had fair skin with long dark brown hair, two long strands on either side of her face and tied into two twintails with red ribbons, and goldish-brown eyes.

While Katase also had fair skin, shoulder length salmon pink hair held back by a white headband, and brownish-red eyes.

"For the last time no, we've never seen any Yūma girl before nor have you ever mentioned her until today." Katase said while letting out a sigh, wondering if their friend was going a little crazy.

"And thank you so much for describing every little detail you could about her Izumi. It was very useful knowing how big her boobs were." Murayama muttered sarcastically with a faint blush on her cheeks.

Given unlike her parents, Izumi didn't hesitate to tell her friends everything about what Yūma looked like, from the size of her breasts, her heart-shaped ass, her hips, everything she remembered. The brunette even needing to be stopped when she started trailing off and started describing everything she wanted to do to Yūma.

"Well you never know! Maybe it would've jogged your memory, she was really hot that you couldn't just forget her!" Izumi said, starting to feel like she's stepped into the Twilight Zone.

No matter who she asked, no one seemed to remember Yūma at all. Having asked Murayama and Katase when she first got to school, as well as asking their other friend Aika Kiryuu. Since Izumi made sure to introduce them to Yūma, proving she got a girlfriend. But they all just looked at her like she was crazy, having no memory at all of meeting Yūma or that she even existed at all. Izumi even tried showing them Yūma's number and email on her phone, only to find it wasn't there anymore, much to her disbelief.

'Ugh! Maybe I am going crazy, maybe I did just dreamed the whole thing.' Izumi thought, sighing as her body went on autopilot in her movements as her mind began wandering.

"Uh…Izumi?" Murayama said, looking at her with wide eyes.

'That would make sense since it would be strange. A really cute girl suddenly approaching me and confessing she loves me, then asking for a date.' Thought Izumi, not hearing Murayama, unaware of how she starting moving faster than normal.

"Izumi?" Said Katase, also looking in shock at the sight of their friend and how fast she was striking the dummy.

'Then on the date she suddenly asks me if I could die, grows black wings and is suddenly wearing a black leather outfit straight out of hentai. And then stabs me with a glowing pink spear. None of it makes any sense, but it just felt too real!' Izumi thought while trying to make sense of what happened.

"Izumi!"

Startled at the shout, Izumi's eyes widened in shock as she swung her bokken at the dummy, only for the head to be sent flying from the strike. Something that got the attention of the entire Kendo Club, shocking them at the sight of the dummy's head knocked off and the state of Izumi's dummy.

"Eh?" Izumi muttered, blinking as she looked at her dummy, seeing several spots getting worn out and even slightly cracked.

"Uh…Izumi…h-have you been training on your own?" Katase asked in disbelief, wondering if their friend has been secretly training alone to get that strong and fast.

"N-no, it…it must just be a good day…I guess." Replied Izumi, wondering where this sudden new strength and speed came from.

The brunette knew she was already in better shape than most people, but she'd never done something like this before, leaving her shocked and confused.

"Clearly! The way you were moving, it was incredible! What do you think about officially joining the Kendo Club?!" Said Murayama with an eager smile as Katase soon smiles as well.

"Yeah! You'd be able to train with us much more often and get even better than you are now! You'd probably be unbeatable in tournaments!" Katase added, hoping Izumi would accept and join the team officially.

Izumi looked between them nervously, even more so when some of the other team members voiced their agreement that she should join.

"U-u-uh…I-I-I…" Izumi stuttered while trying to think of a way to get out of this.

Before feeling relieved when they heard someone clearing their throat, getting everyone's attention.

"I'm sorry for the interruption ladies and hope I'm not bothering you, but would it be alright if I joined your training session?" Someone asked, getting everyone's attention with most of the girls getting hearts in their eyes when they saw who it was.

The person was a handsome young man with fair skin, with short blond hair, bluish-grey eyes and a mole underneath his left eye. With him wearing the Kuoh Academy boys' uniform, which consists of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes.

"Yuuto-senpai's here!"

"Kuoh's Prince wants to join our training!"

"Of course you can join senpai!"

"Spar with me senpai?!"

'Thanks for the distraction!' Izumi thought, relieved that Yuuto's arrival had distracted the Kendo Club, giving her a chance to slip away.

She could also understand why the girls all went crazy over the Prince of Kuoh Academy, having had her fair share of fantasies and wet dreams featuring him. But other than that, the whole Prince Charming thing wasn't her type. With Izumi preferring guys that had an edge to them.

'An edge that'll let them be really rough and wild when claiming me~!' Izumi thought while smiling lustfully, wanting a Harem King that isn't afraid to take what he wants.

Though she's still grateful that Yuuto's arrival gave her the distraction she needed to get away from the girls. As while she might like Kendo as hobby, especially given the fact that swords are fucking badass. Plus it helped that the girls on the Kendo team are incredibly beautiful and she always got a front row seat to them changing before and after training. The brunette just didn't have the same passion and drive that Murayama and Katase had for it.

'I might even have to take a break from training with them, at least until I can figure out what's going on with me.' Thought Izumi as she changed into her school uniform and got her stuff before leaving the school.

But once she was outside, Izumi was surprised to see the street lights were already on and the sun was beginning to set.

'Woah, I didn't think I stayed that long with them. I better get home before it…gets…dark…what the…?' Izumi thought while rushing out of the school grounds, only to begin slowing down when she noticed something strange.

Despite it already nearly being dark, she could still see perfectly like it was daytime, much to Izumi's confusion. Even more so when she stopped at the entrance of a dark alley, yet she could still see down it without any issue.

"I'm not nuts… My eyes are freaking out on me." Izumi muttered starting to feel freaked out by what's happening.

"This is weird…I feel so different…like there's something inside me that's changing." Muttered Izumi while looking down at her hand, unsure and worried at what was happening to her.

Before the brunette's eyes widened when she heard some screaming, making her look down the street to see a mother and her young daughter arguing. Something that shocked Izumi given how far away they were, it should be impossible to hear them at all.

'That doesn't make sense, how can I hear them from so far away?! What's happening to me?!' Izumi thought before she took off running, needing to find out what's going on.

*Later*

Izumi kept running until she got to the park, heading down a familiar path until she got to a fountain, one she recognized and knew she's seen before.

"I've been here before. Yeah…this is it; this is where I took Yūma. It was real…it couldn't have been a dream…I remember everything about it…" Muttered Izumi, knowing for a fact it wasn't a dream, that she wasn't crazy.

Yūma was real, they did go out, they came here at the end of their date, then…Yūma stabbed her with that spear.

'And then…I…I remember…red…the color red…my…blood? No…no, no, no…there was something else, I know it! It was red, a bright crimson red like…like…' Thought Izumi, squeezing her eyes shut as she tried remembering what happened after she was stabbed.

Only for Izumi to freeze when she felt a sudden pulse rush through her body, as if something was telling her she wasn't alone anymore and that she should start running.

"Well, this really is unfortunate. Me running into you, that is…" Someone said, with Izumi turning to see she really wasn't alone as someone stepped out of the shadows approaching her.

Seeing it was a middle-aged-looking man with short black hair and dark blue eyes. His attire consisted of a pale gray trench coat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, a pair of black gloves, and a black fedora.

'Oh man, why won't my body stop shaking?' Izumi thought, wondering why it felt like every instinct was screaming for her to run from this guy.

When he looked up at her, Izumi went to step back only to be shocked when she instead jumped back several feet, not believing she jumped that far.

"Looking for a way out?" The man asked tauntingly, making Izumi take off running away from him.

'I don't know what's happening, but I'm making sure to get far away from that creep!' Izumi thought while focusing on just escaping, only to soon notice black feathers descending from the sky.

"Feathers?! Yūma?!" Izumi said while looking up, wondering if she's here too, but instead saw the guy flying above her with black wings.

Before he suddenly shot forward and landed right in front of the brunette, making Izumi stumble back away from him.

"Such cowardice. I can't abide lower-class beings. So let's see, it seems that your friends and master are nowhere to be found. You show no signs of disappearing, nor are any magic circles being deployed… Therefore I will assume you're nothing but a Stray, correct?" The man said before holding his hand out forming a blue spear of light, much to Izumi's shock.

"Wh-wh-wha-what the hell are you talking about?!" Said Izumi, wondering what he's going on about.

Calling her a "stray", whatever that meant, while talking about magic circles and her apparent "master".

"That means killing you won't be a problem! But…you also aren't bad looking for a Stray, so I suppose it won't hurt to have some fun before killing you." Said the man, smirking as he looked Izumi up and down, making her shiver in disgust and horror.

While Izumi didn't mind showing off her body or being admired. The way this guy was looking at her made her skin crawl, knowing exactly what he had in mind.

"Yeah, how about instead…you go fuck yourself, instead!" Said Izumi before she turned and began running away again, only to stop when the guy suddenly appeared in front of her.

Something Izumi expected given how fast he seemed to be, with her immediately throwing a punch at his face. Only to grunt when his hand shot up and grabbed her fist, though not stopping there Izumi threw another punch, which he caught again.

"Nice tr-" He said, smirking before grunting in pain when Izumi quickly reared her head back and slammed it into his, knocking the man back.

Before he gagged slightly when the brunette then slammed her knee into his stomach, making him double over from the breath being knocked out of him.

"Like I said, go fuck yourself, asshole!" Izumi said as she tried escaping while he was distracted, only to cry when his hand shot and grabbed her wrist before he then threw her against a tree.

"You've got some fight in you, good. It wouldn't be fun if you didn't resist." Said the man with his smirk growing, eager to see that fight taken out of her.

"Try it and I'll-" Said Izumi before doubling over in pain when the man buried his fist in her stomach knocking the wind out of her, along with spitting up some blood.

"The only thing you'll be doing is screaming in a few moments. And just to know what you'll be screaming, the name's Dohnaseek." Said Dohnaseek before he then ripped Izumi's shit off, much to her horror.

"NO! Get off of me, you fucker! You're fucking dead! I'll shove your own dick up your ass if you touch me!" Izumi said while struggling to get him off her, gasping when slapped her across the face sending the brunette falling to the ground.

"You talk a lot, maybe I'll put that pretty little mouth to a better use before getting to the real fun." Dohnaseek sneered before grabbing and ripping her skirt off next, leaving Izumi in just her underwear.

'NO! No, no, no, no! No, this can't be happening! Someone, anyone, help me please!' Izumi mentally screamed, not wanting to lose her virginity like this, at the hands of some winged psycho that was also going to kill her.

Though just as Dohnaseek grabbed her to tear off her underwear as well, he froze when he suddenly sensed something coming towards them.

"Wh-what the…hell?! What is this…this pressure, this…this power?!" Dohnaseek muttered, feeling his entire body shaking, while Izumi felt some hope someone arrived to help her.

"Humans, Fallen, Devils, it seems no matter the species there will always be vermin to be exterminated." Naruto stated, getting Izumi's and Dohnaseek's attention as they looked up to see the Uzumaki flying in the air above them.

With the whiskered blonde glaring down in Dohnaseek in disgust, having sensed something happening in the park and went to investigate. Arriving in time to see the Fallen Angel rip a girl's clothes off and hearing what he planned to do.

"You…who the hell you are?!" Dohnaseek demanded, glaring at Naruto while clenching his fists to try and suppress their shaking, only for Naruto to just narrow his eyes much to the Fallen angel's anger.

"Answer me you little shit!" Shouted Dohnaseek, forming a Light Spear and flew up at the Uzumaki before throwing the Light Spear at him.

Only to be shocked when Naruto caught the spear before he seemed to begin absorbing it into himself, with Dohnaseek's eyes widening when Naruto then forming his own purple Light Spear. Before screaming in pain when Naruto lunged forward and stabbed right through his stomach. Pushing Dohnaseek back towards the ground where he pinned him.

"I don't waste my time…on lower lifeforms." Naruto said, standing up and aiming his hand at Dohnaseek as he gathered energy in it.

"Earthbreaker." Said Naruto, once he gathered enough energy before unleashing it pointblank at Dohnaseek.

The Fallen didn't even have a open to scream in agony as his body was engulfed by the blast and completely vaporized a moment later.

With Izumi looking in shock as the blast faded, revealing nothing left of Dohnaseek except a hole where he once was.

'W-woah…th-t-that was…' Izumi thought, shaking as she looked at Naruto, flinching when he turned towards her.

Her earlier fear returning when he removed his cloak, thinking he was going to try raping her too, only to be surprised when he instead tossed the cloak at her.

"Th-thanks." Izumi stuttered as she quickly covered herself up with the cloak, thankful to not be completely exposed.

Though before either of them could say anything, their attention turned towards a red magic circle when it appeared with girls appearing out of it, much to Izumi's surprise when she saw them.

The first was an incredibly beautiful young woman with a voluptuous body, fair skin, blue-green eyes, and a buxom figure with very large DD-cup, borderline E-cup, breasts. Her most distinctive feature is her long, beautiful crimson hair, that reaches down to her thighs with an ahoge sticking out from the top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face.

The second was an equally beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, having even larger breasts than the first girl, very long black hair, and violet eyes. Her hair is tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place.

And the third was a more petite girl with fair skin, white hair, and gold eyes. The front of her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She also wears a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair.

All three were also wearing the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform which consists 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. Though the third girl wasn't wearing the shoulder cape.

'Rias?! Akeno?! Koneko?!' Izumi thought, shocked to see Kuoh Academy's Two Great Onee-Sama's and mascot suddenly appear.

While Rias narrowed her eyes at seeing her newest Peerage member on the ground and a strange, armored boy standing over her. Scowling when she saw the torn remains of Izumi's clothes.

"You! Step away from her now and explain what you are doing in my territory! Otherwise you will be eliminated without hesitation!" Rias said, intending to make him regret ever being born if he hurt a member of her Peerage, even if Izumi isn't aware of that at the moment.

"Ufufufu, please…resist." Said Akeno, smiling sadistically with lightning sparking around her hands, eager to fry him if he did anything.

"Perverted trash." Koneko stated cracking her knuckles.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at the threat, starting to reconsider joining Rias if they were foolish enough to attack him. But before anyone could make a move, Izumi managed to get up and stood between them, waving her arm while the other held the cloak over her body.

"Wait! Wait, wait, wait! He didn't do anything to me, he actually saved me! There was this creepy guy with black feathered wings! He showed up when I came here and started saying a bunch of crazy stuff! Then said something about me being a stray or whatever, and was going to kill me. He…he's the one who ripped my clothes off and was going to…you know. But this guy is the one who stopped him, the creep's…well he was right there." Izumi explained before motioning to where Dohnaseek once was, surprising the three Devils before they relaxed that Naruto wasn't the threat.

"I see…then I apologize for jumping to conclusions. But given the state of things and lack of context, you can understand why we would assume. You have my thanks for coming to Izumi's defense." Said Rias, nodding to Naruto who merely grunted in response.

'Oh my Maou, he looks so much like Forte!' Rias thought to herself as while she was able to keep up a formal front, she couldn't help but fangirl internally at how similar he looked to one of the best characters in the MegaMan Battle Network and the MegaMan NT Warrior series, as well as one of her all-time favorite Anti-Hero characters in general.

"Whatever." Naruto muttered while looking at them, as the Devils regarded him before Akeno's eyes widened as she really got a look at him.

"You…it's you." Akeno stated, getting the others' attention, seeing the way she was looking at Naruto.

"Akeno?" Rias said, looking at her best friend in confusion.

"Buchou, that's him. The day we met, he's the one who saved me." Said Akeno, much to Rias' surprise as she looked at Naruto in renewed interest.

Remembering the day she met Akeno, what had happened just before she arrived and offered her the chance to come with her.

*Flashback*

"Pl-pl-pl-ple-please! Suou-sama, uncle, please I'm sorry! I'll leave, you'll never see me again, just…just please don't kill me!" Akeno begged as she crawled away from her great-uncle, Suou Himejima, who stood in front of her and was surrounded by several other relatives.

"It doesn't matter, this is about duty and honor. And it is my duty as Head of the Himejima Clan to eliminate any who dishonor the clan. Your blood, your heritage, it is an afront to our tenants and beliefs. Death is the only solution to rid us of such a stain." Said Suou neutrally, knowing he was duty-bound as Clan Head to execute Akeno.

"No! Please! I'll disappear forever, I'll leave Japan, n-n-n-n-no one will e-e-e-ever know I e-e-e-existed!" Akeno said desperately, not wanting to die like this.

"Accept it and know it will be over soon." Suou stated before summoning his Spiritual Flames to finish it, quickly.

But before he could unleash the fire on Akeno, they were shocked when a black blur suddenly appeared and rushed around. Watching in shock as the Himejima Clan members with him were cut down before they could even react. With it only being because of Suou's years of experience that let him avoid joining them. Forming a barrier of flames in front of him, blocking a dark energy sword.

With Akeno and Suou being shocked to see the attacker was a boy who looked to be about the same age as Akeno, if not slightly younger, that had attacked them.

"Humanity truly is nothing but a disease. Always seeking to kill anyone in their way, even their own family." Naruto said in disgust, having seen what was happening from the air and went to get a closer look.

When he saw what could only be a girl his age, if not slightly older, about to be killed by her own relatives. With her own uncle being the one willing to finish her, Naruto didn't hesitate to move in and begin killing them.

"Do not speak as if you know of such matters, boy!" Said Suou, angered at the death of his clansmen and being talked down to by a child, before he made a few hand gestures causing the flames to shoot forward at Naruto.

With Naruto jumping back away from the flames before they could burn him, skidding back across the ground as he held his hands out.

"Hell's Rolling!" Naruto said forming two black wheels he launched at Suou, only for the elder to make some more gestures creating a magic barrier dispelling the wheels.

"You're right, I don't know, because the last thing I care about is understanding humans and their justifications for killing whoever they want! Air Burst!" Said Naruto, firing a high-speed green blast at Suou.

The sight of the blasts speed surprised the Himejima Clan Head, knowing he wouldn't have time to put up a barrier or dispel it. Before he moved as fast as he could, just barely avoiding being blasted to pieces by it, only to gag in agony when Naruto took the chance to lunge at him. With Akeno gasping and covering her mouth as Naruto's fist was buried in her grand-uncle's chest, with blood dripping down from Suou's mouth.

"What I want, is for all of you to die like the vermin that you are." Naruto said, smirking as he twisted his fist making Suou cough up blood.

Only for Naruto to be shocked when Suou began screaming loudly while flames began swirling up around his arm and into his body. Much to Akeno's and Suou's shock at the sight, knowing what it was and what was happening.

"S-Su-Suza-" Suou said unable to do anything as somehow, this boy stole the Vermilion Bird from his body and with it the Himejima Clan's status as one of the Five Principal Clans.

"Dark Arm Blade!" Said Naruto quickly forming a dark sword and swung it, slicing Suou's upper body diagonally in half.

Both halves of his body fell down, with whiskered blonde dispelling the blade before he then looked himself over with a frown. Not feeling anything different about himself nor did he feel anything wrong.

"Hmph, he should've had better tricks if that's all he had." Naruto said, believing whatever that was had been some last minute trick of Suou's to take him down with him.

Naruto then looked at the girl he saved for a moment before he took off flying away with his business done. With Akeno watching him fly away in shock and disbelief at what he'd done, but also relief at his arrival.

"Wh-whoever you are…thank you." Akeno said, knowing she'd be dead if it wasn't for him, the ravenette hoping she might get the chance to thank him properly one day.

*End Flashback*

It was after that she and her father's Bishop, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, had arrived at the scene. Having gone to investigate after learning someone had saved a human contracted to the Gremory Clan, only to find Akeno surrounded by the bodies of her relatives.

With Rias not hesitating in offering to let her come with them, while her family worked things out with the rest of the Himejima Clan to stop hunting Akeno. Thankfully, with the sudden loss of their clan head and the Vermilion Bird, as well as some of their best practitioners in addition to those they lost in their prior confrontations with Baraquiel, the Himejima Clan couldn't afford to continue hunting Akeno. Requesting that she stays away from their territory, now seeing her as an ill omen for their clan. With Akeno staying with her ever since before eventually becoming Rias' Queen when she got her Peerage set.

Though there wasn't anything they could do about returning the Vermilion Bird to the Himejima Clan, since they didn't know the identity of the one who took it nor how he was able to take it at all.

"Well…it seems I owe you for saving both Izumi and Akeno. But first, tell me who are you and why are you in Kuoh?" Questioned Rias, while also wondering if this was the same person who saved Gasper from Vampire Hunters as well.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. And I'm here to join your Peerage, Rias Gremory." Naruto replied, much to the Gremory Heiress's shock.

So, what did you think, good. Yep we see things start with Izumi the day after her date with "Yūma" checking herself for where she was stabbed only to see she's perfectly fine. Only to be further confused when her parents don't remember "Yūma" either, leaving Izumi confused and wondering what happened before she heads to school.

Then we see Naruto also in Kuoh Town, aware that Rias' and Sona's Peerage are here and that the town is under Rias' governance. With him intending to join Rias' Peerage due to the Gremory Clan being famous for their kindness to their servants, which would allow him more freedom outside of his standard Devil duties and any ground rules Rias will set.

Before we then go back to Izumi training with the Kendo Club, with no one at school remembering "Yūma" either leaving her more confused, even more so that she doesn't have her contact information anymore. Though Izumi then begins noticing several strange things, how she's now stronger and faster, even more so than usual, being able to see in the dark and overall feeling something change inside her.

Leading to Izumi going to the park where "Yūma" stabbed her, trying to understand what happened, only to end up encountering Dohnaseek who plans to kill her, believing she's a Stray Devil, but not before he "has some fun" with her, much to Izumi's horror. With her being overpowered despite her new boost in strength, having her clothes ripped off by the Fallen Angel.

But before he can do anything, Naruto arrives having sensed something happening and went to investigate, being disgusted when he arrived and saw what was happening. With him vaporizing Dohnaseek with an Earthbreaker, but not before absorbing a Light Spear taking the power for himself. Before he then gives Izumi his cloak to cover herself, much to her gratitude.

Finally we see Rias, Akeno and Koneko arrive, with the lack of context making them believe Naruto was the one who attacked Izumi, only for her to clear up what happened. While Akeno recognizes Naruto as the one who saved her years ago, leading to a flashback of him killing those who hunted her down, including Suou. While we see he had unknowingly taken the Vermilion Bird from Suou, believing it was instead a last-minute trick.

Rias then questions who Naruto is and why he's there, only to be shocked when he reveals he wants to join her Peerage.
