Review Response:
Nathair1: Makes sense for Aang, but nope, it's Old Man Zuko. Oh, you're talking about the scene when Loona comforts Vulcan. Yeah… Riser matured over the last five years. I don't know why moths either. Yes, Kuroka threw a fit and wanted to go. Naruto will make an attempt to start Akeno on her journey. No, Issei would have gotten to injured.
ShadowBloodedge9396: Oh, yes, Loona will miss Naruto very much. Everyone is willing to learn from Naruto, but Akeno is gonna be stubborn.
PLEASE READ: Thank you for the recommendations.
Vongola Ninja: I see… I am that predictable. Sort of yes, kinda no. I like the idea for Karlamine, I'll think about Isebella and Mira. Karlamine will be good friends with Naruto, Vulcan, Kiba, Xenovia, Irina, and Mittelt in my opinion.
Redmen6blight: I intend to keep the 'Princess Peach' thing going. Yeah, I feel like Naruto WOULD point these out because he is an outsider and knows that it should have been addressed sooner.
Borello: Thank you.

Chapter 52: The Start
Evening, Gremory Villa…
Dusk draped the sky in its orange hue as Akeno and Kiba were preparing dinner while Rias and Naruto were in her study.
As the Knight and Queen cooked, Koneko, Asia, and Issei were playing with Kurotama in the living room.
Their training hadn't officially started, but would start the following day.
"… Asia and Issei should spend the morning with Akeno for magic training." Rias said as she pointed at a paper.
"Why don't we adjust that to the afternoon." Naruto said as he wrote it down, adding 'Afternoon' next to it with Asia and Issei's name.
"I assume the morning is when you want Asia to start her Kami-e training?" Rias asked, sitting across from Naruto.
Naruto was wearing a pair of cargo shorts and a t shirt while Rias wore her sweat suit with a pair of glasses on.
"Yes, I feel starting the day with that is better, that way her magic is pushed to its limit, then when training IN magic, it will push itself further and then expand, granting her MORE magic to use." Naruto said as he wrote that down. "Then Asia has a third part of her training."
"Huh?" Rias said in absolute confusion. "What do you mean she has a third?"
"She has to heal everyone." Naruto said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Oh, right, right." Rias said, feeling sheepish.
It was kind of obvious.
They finished Asia's training regimen.
"Now, Issei."
"I say, your peerage can help him…" Naruto said calmly. "Not that I don't like Issei, but I feel like since he is the one with the MOST need of training, you can mold him how you wish… does that make sense?"
"Yeah, I understand." Rias said as she pushed Issei's paperwork aside.
She kind of had a plan in mind for Issei anyway.
"BUT," Naruto said as he put a hand up to keep the conversation up. "I don't mind adding some of my own flare here and there if I see something I can help with."
"That is appreciated, thank you." Rias said honestly.
She meant that.
Naruto literally could have continued to blow Rias off with his initial refusal to help train her peerage.
"Alright, Kiba, I know we both agreed everyone would wear special weights to restrict movements and help them improve magic use and capacity, but you mentioned he should add martial arts?" Rias asked as she pulled out Kiba's paper.
"Yes, specifically a bastardization of one of my styles." Naruto admitted as he wrote down what he believed would help Kiba.
"You want him to incorporate kicking into his swordsmanship?" Rias asked in confusion.
"Yes, one of my mentors developed a style that utilized kicking. I believe a subdued version could help Kiba in the future." Naruto said with a sweat drop. 'Sorry, Kaku, I know I said I wouldn't teach Yontoryu to anyone, but this isn't Yontoryu.'
"Okay. I see. You know, I like this idea actually." Rias said as she looked up at the ceiling, imagining Kiba using his sword and legs for attacking.
"Alright, so kicking and muscle training for his legs, got it." Naruto said as he wrote that down, handing it back to Rias when he was done.
"Alright, Akeno and myself. We both are bad at CQC, so…" Rias mentioned with some worry.
Naruto smirked, cracking one of his knuckles.
"I can show you both how to throw a punch…" He said with a malicious chuckle.
Rias sweat dropped in fear.
"Or Koneko could. All honesty, you both don't need to become masters, just learn enough to defend yourself in an up-close fight." Naruto stated, all of his previous malice vanishing. "Akeno also has her… issues… maybe after this Rating Game business, Ravel can have Mittelt help Akeno?"
Rias used her hand to make a 'Maybe' sign, which Naruto accepted.
Akeno was stubborn, so it made sense.
"Okay, how about Koneko?"
"What about Koneko?"
Rias swallowed a lump in her throat.
One that she had for a while.
"Could she learn Kitsunebi-ryu?"
The bomb had been dropped.
Naruto took a deep breath.
He knew it was going to happen eventually.
Now was the time he felt.
"She already knows."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"… what?"
"I taught Koneko how to do Kitsunebi-ryu year ago." Naruto said calmly.
Rias's hands grabbed his shoulders, the glasses falling from her face as magic bellowed from her body.
"SHE HAS KNOWN HOW FOR HOW LONG? WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL ME!" She yelled in anger.
"Because I told her to keep it secret from you."
"WHY?"
Naruto's hands slipped between Rias's arms, gently pushing them outward, forcing her hands off of him.
"Well?"
"What would you have done if Koneko told you she knew Kitsunebi-ryu?" Naruto calmly asked.
"I would have approached my family with the challenge of a Rating Game for my freedom!"
"With only THREE members to your peerage? Not including poor Gasper of course." Naruto said with his voice becoming sarcastic. "Which would have led to a humiliating defeat."
"How do you know I would have lost? What makes you so confident?" Rias asked.
"Because you'd put all your faith on Koneko." Naruto said as he held up one finger. "You'd base all your strategies around her." He held up a second finger. "She'd get worn out from having to carry the team." He held up a third finger. "Then she'd get overwhelmed and you'd lose."
Naruto's fourth finger was risen.
"But she has Shadow Clones."
"Oh, yes, divide up her magic to make clones, weakening her." Naruto stated, knowing the ins and outs of HIS technique he taught Koneko. "Numbers aren't everything, I thought you knew that, Rias."
Rias's cheeks tinted red.
"I had Koneko keep it secret so she wouldn't need to shoulder that responsibility." Naruto said in a lighter, comforting tone. "Look, you have five Pieces now, excluding Gasper. A Pawn with a powerful SG and a Bishop with exceptional healing powers. You have a better chance now than you did before. Hate me if you wish, Rias, but don't you dare be upset at Koneko for my decisions."
Rias sat down as Naruto stood up.
"Let's just get this ten-day training period over with, because I don't want to spend my time going through eight worlds for Peach to be in another Castle." Naruto stated as he walked out the door.
"I AM NOT PEACH!" Rias yelled as the door closed.
Sinking into her chair, Rias put a hand on her head, thinking about the new information she had received about her Rook.
'Fuck, he is right.' Rias thought as she pinched her nose. 'My plan was to get Issei as strong as possible and rely on him. I would have done that with Koneko. He is correct and I can't help but agree, Koneko keeping that secret was for the better.'
Looking back at herself, Rias felt shame because she knew Naruto was right.
Sighing, Rias stood up, putting her glasses away before leaving her study, ready to eat.
Dining Room…
"… I just… can't…" Issei said as he looked at their meal.
He was sweat dropping at the pile of dishes around Naruto.
The kitsune was slurping the ramen and the broth like it was water and he was a dehydrated man who walked the dessert in three days.
The pile was to the ceiling.
Beside Naruto, on the table, Kurotama was lapping at a bowl of ramen herself, with two empty bowls next to the one she was eating out of.
"He can sure pack it away." Akeno chuckled, very amused.
"That's Naruto for you." Koneko said as she finished her fourth bowl. "He's always loved Ramen."
Naruto finished his current bowl, tossing it onto the very unstable pile of bowls.
"ANOTHER!" Naruto yelled, a fishcake on his cheek.
In front of EVERYONE, Koneko leaned in, and ate the fishcake off of Naruto's cheek.
Naruto blushed as Kurotama gasped.
Asia, Rias, and Akeno had wide eyes, hands over their mouths.
Kiba smiled, silently applauding the Nekoshou for her bravery.
Issei began tearing up.
'Lucky bastard.' He thought as Koneko swallowed the fishcake after chewing it, looking away with a crimson hue on her cheeks, a small victorious smile on her lips.
Meanwhile…
Ravel felt a chill run down her spine.
"Everything okay?" Manami asked as she put her hand on Ravel's back.
"Yeah, just… a chill… like someone got ahead of me." Ravel said as she explained what she believed it meant.
Gremory Villa…
"After dinner, let's all shower and then watch a movie?" Rias asked, wanting to build strong comradery between her peerage members, especially with Issei and Asia still being relatively new.
"Co-Ed?" Issei asked, her heart racing with hope and imagination.
"I don't mind." Akeno said.
N-Neither do I…" Asia stuttered with a cute blush.
"No." Koneko bluntly stated.
"Well, that is how it is then." Rias said with a chuckle as Issei groaned.
"Good lord, you are a horny mother fucker, aren't you." Naruto said as he continued to eat.
"And what? You aren't?" Issei bantered.
"I am, but I learned from the best… DON'T do it in public." Naruto said as he stood up.
"Oh, yeah? Like who?"
"Jiraiya, the Toad Sage." Naruto said as he put his hands together. "That guy was a BIG pervert, and sometimes, I'd have to motivate him to train me."
"Oh, how so?" Issei asked, sitting in his chair sideways, not liking Naruto's attitude.
Kiba, Akeno, Asia, Rias, and Koneko leaned forward, wandering what Naruto had to do.
Koneko saw chakra flood Naruto's body.
'A transformation?' She thought before Naruto was enveloped in a puff of smoke.
It died down.
Issei was rocketed into the wall by a geyser of blood via his nose.
Naruto was now a smoking hot woman with blond pig tails, butt naked with wisps of cloud covering her breasts and lower region.
Curves, CHECK!
Big Breasts, CHECK!
Thick Thighs to save Lives, CHECK!
An ass so big it was a bongo, CHECK!
"Oh, Issei~" this woman said as she approached him, the clouds following her. "Can you please train as hard as possible… for me~"
"YES!"
Issei grabbed her shoulders… only for Naruto to end the transformation, a cocky smirk on his face.
Only for said smirk to vanish when his face became an intimate lover of the floor, with a large welt forming on his head.
"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Koneko shouted, her fist smoldering.
"… yes, ma'am…"
Twenty Minutes Later, Baths…
"You two need to learn how to not get in trouble." Kiba laughed as Naruto and Issei sat across from him, both with welts on their heads.
"Fuck you, pretty boy." Issei mumbled.
Naruto flipped Kiba off.
Meanwhile in the women's bath, Koneko scrubbed her body with a scowl… and red face.
The image of the female Naruto turned into was BURNED into her memory.
It was arousing.
Koneko shook her head pretty violently as Asia entered the bath, leaving Koneko the only one in the cleaning area.
'Bad, BAD Koneko, don't…' Koneko thought as her body was heating up to badly.
It YEARNED for intimacy.
… with Naruto.
Her mind wandered.
Imagining.
Imagining what?
All sorts of erotic things she wanted to do… with Naruto.
Grabbing a bucket, Koneko poured FREEZING water over herself.
'Bad!' She thought, forcing herself to cool down.
Now clean, and cold, Koneko entered the bath.
She stared at Rias, Akeno, and Asia.
Specifically… their breasts.
Lowering into the water, Koneko stared upward, trying to keep her mind focused.
'I am here to help Naruto and Rias.' She repeated in her mind.
She heard the water shift, causing her to dully turn, seeing Rias before her.
"Koneko…"
"Yes, President?"
Rias bit her lip, avoiding eye contact.
"Thank you."
Koneko quirked an eyebrow.
"For… huh, for not allowing me to go crazy." Rias admitted.
Koneko deadpanned in confusion.
"Ugh… context?" She asked with said confusion in her tone.
"Naruto explained to me he taught you Kitsunebi-ryu and kept it from me."
Koneko went stiff.
'Shit.' She thought, starting to get worried.
Rias's arms wrapped around her Rook.
"Naruto explained why he made you keep it secret, and I am happy you wanted the best for me." Rias said in her Rook's ear, softly.
"You're welcome." Koneko said as she hugged Rias back.
This moment was soft and tender between King and Rook.
The bathes were enjoyed, the devil's dried off and got dressed in their pajamas of choice, now in the living room sitting on the couches and watching a movie.
Except for Naruto.
He was outside on the deck, going over everyone's papers, double checking their training regimens.
Naruto wanted to be sure he didn't miss anything.
Sighing, Naruto looked up at the stars.
A sense of nostalgia washed over him, making him smile.
Being this far out in the country side, where the stars were not as obstructed by light pollution reminded Naruto of his travels with Jiraiya.
All the time camping out in the woods.
"It's cold out here."
Naruto looked behind him to see Koneko, who sat next to him with a large blanket around her, one arm extended, offering him space with the blanket.
Naruto moved over and sat in the blanket, Koneko closing her arm, allowing both of them to share the blanket, staring at the stars.
"You okay? You're being very quiet." Koneko asked in concern as Naruto leaned into her.
"Just… wondering…"
"Wondering what?"
Naruto smiled softly.
"If this is what Pervy Sage felt when he was training dad… and me." He stated.
"What do you mean?"
"Am I teaching you all the correct things? Are my methods working or causing harm? Am I the teacher you need? Am I BEING the teacher you need?" Naruto aired his quandary to his best friend. "Sparring with you is one thing Koneko, because I am teaching you everything I know to the best of my abilities, but… the others…"
Naruto slumped into Koneko, his head on her chest above her heart, hearing it beat faster from this action.
Koneko put her hand on his head, rubbing his head.
"I think you'll do fine." Koneko stated.
"It's not the only thing I am worried about." Naruto added.
Koneko continued to pet Naruto, allowing him to speak.
"What if Rias loses? I could lose you… forever…" He said, his voice becoming timid and sheepish.
He moved to hide his face, due to it becoming red.
Koneko's hand stopped petting Naruto.
Turning to see her face, Naruto saw Koneko's usually calm demeaner replaced with embarrassment filled blush.
"You won't." She whispered.
She leaned down, kissing Naruto's temple.
Part of Koneko instantly regrated this action.
Part of her was embarrassed.
The rest of Koneko was horny… and SO was Naruto.
The taller teen sat up, only to lean down and lock lips with Koneko.
Both the Fox and the Cat passionately hugged each other in the heat of the moment.
Koneko's back hit the porch couch's cushion, Naruto on top of her as their lip lock never broke.
Naruto's hand wandered, touching her stomach.
Koneko's hand grabbed his wrist, pulling it up to touch her breast over her clothing.
His hand covered her breast, and Koneko LOVED it.
Feeling his hand touching her spiked her arousal even further.
The door opened suddenly.
"Naruto, your cat is being noisy, you need to…" Asia said as she walked onto the porch. "Is something wrong? Are you two, okay?"
Steam emitted from the two yokai's faces like they were on fire.
"No, we are fine, Asia." Naruto said, standing up and quickly entering the house to hide his… boner. "Kurotama!"
Koneko stood up, her body still very hot, glared at Asia when the blonde Bishop wasn't looking.
'Damn clam-jammer.' She thought, avoiding Asia's gaze. 'Now I gotta take care of this heat myself…'
Next Morning…
"Oh, fuck these are heavy." Issei whimpered as his arms caused him to hunch.
"I can't move." Asia stated in panic.
"I think the ones on my legs are heavier." Kiba pointed out.
After a hearty breakfast and stretches, all members of the Gremory Peerage were wearing slide on cloth weights that Rias and Naruto had bought the day before.
They looked like compression bands that went on the arms and legs with magic glyphs on them.
"These won't allow ease of movement without magic application or a tremendous amount of physical force." Naruto explained as he gestured to Koneko, who looked completely fine while she moved around, her limbs slightly sluggish but movements normal.
"Alright, like this?" Akeno asked as she channeled magic into her weights.
The rune like glyphs on the weights glowed, Akeno's arms lifting up with ease, where they were previously slightly struggling.
"Yep, and not only to they act as traditional weights, they will hold the magic in them, and force your magic to get stronger by subtly sapping more magic as you move." Naruto continued. "Every time you tear a muscle it heals, becoming stronger. Tear your 'Magic' and it will get stronger!"
Naruto clapped his hands.
"Now, I'll summon some Shadow Clones, and train you all."
Naruto turned to Asia.
"Asia, you are with me." He stated, looking at Koneko then Issei. "Koneko, you and a clone with start helping Issei with basic combat training."
Koneko deadpanned.
She didn't want to really help Issei, but nodded regardless.
She understood Issei was important to the group, so why not.
"Sure."
"Kiba, spar with the clone and follow its instructions."
"I'll try."
"Akeno, Rias, your clone will go over basic hand-to-hand."
"Yes, sir."
"AND, BREAK!" Naruto said as he crossed his fingers, summoning a few Shadow Clones. "Come on, Asia, follow me."
Naruto walked off in a brisk pace while Asia… hobbled to follow him.
"Uhm, Naruto, it is hard… to walk…" Asia said, feeling physically drained as she channeled her magic into the weights to just walk normally.
"That's good, Asia, it means one part of your training is being done." Naruto said as the two distanced themselves from the others. "Now, I'll start teaching you, the Evasion Skill: Kami-e."
Chapter 52, DONE!
Training now begins. Let's see what happens.
Rias being mature and realizing she would have put a lot of pressure/responsibility on Koneko if she knew about her usage of Kitsunebi-ryu.
The weights look like compression bands for arms and legs, they serve two purposes. 1 to strengthen the body and 2 to expand the amount of magic the wearer has.
Damn, surprised Koneko didn't hurt Asia for interrupting her special moment with Naruto.
