Five years had swiftly passed since Naruto and Koneko first stepped foot into the hallowed halls of their school, their journey marked by diligent training and profound growth. Naruto, in particular, honed his skills with fervor, delving deep into the mysteries of chakra manipulation. From the depths of his dreams emerged two formidable jutsu: a cloning technique and a mesmerizing spinning orb, both born from the enigmatic realm of shadow clones.

Over the span of these five years, Naruto's mentors extended beyond mere mortals, encompassing his uncle,his parents, his aunt Yasaka, and even the venerable deities of the Shinto pantheon. Their teachings illuminated the three facets of Ki, guiding Naruto's evolution with each passing year. In the first, he delved into shōki, the realm of the mind, mastering the art of harmonizing his myriad energies.

The second year ushered in a revelation of Genki, the essence of energy itself. With boundless determination, Naruto learned to soar through the skies without the need for wings, wielding ki as a weapon of unparalleled prowess.

Yuki, the embodiment of willpower, became Naruto's focus in the third year. Through rigorous training, he unlocked the ability to either incapacitate foes with his energy or bolster allies with newfound strength

The fourth year bore witness to a convergence of familial magic, as Naruto trained alongside his mother, uncle, and Rias. Together, they delved into the intricacies of destruction magic and the infamous chains of his mother that bound their legacy. Now, Naruto's mastery over these chains mirrored his mother's own even almost surpassing it, imbued with a searing scarlet hue capable of incinerating any who dared to touch them. His control over destruction magic reached unprecedented heights, molding its essence into attacks and formidable weapons at will.

In the final year of their journey, Naruto and Koneko delved into the depths of their yokai heritage, unlocking latent abilities that lay dormant within their bloodline.

They told Irina about the supernatural revealing the hidden truths of their world. Including who her mother is aka Gabriel, one of 4 seraphs, the highest rank of angels and the 4 leaders of heaven directly under the biblical god.

"Hey, Koneko-chan," Naruto's voice, brimming with excitement, cut through the air like a beacon of enthusiasm. "How about we pay a visit to Uncle Sirzech and Auntie Grayfia?"

Koneko turned her attention towards Naruto, her expression shifting from casual to curious. "Sure, Naruto-kun, but remember that you have to go to Kyoto fo—."

Before Koneko could finish her sentence, Irina, the angelic girl with violet eyes and chestnut hair, burst into the scene, her energy practically bouncing off the walls.

" Hey there, mischief-makers! " Irina's voice chimed like a melody, interrupting the conversation with an infectious energy that could rival a fireworks display. " What's the plan? Anything fun happening? "

Naruto grinned at Irina's arrival, his eyes sparkling with mischief. " We were just talking about paying a visit to my Uncle Sirzech and Auntie Grayfia. Wanna join us, Irina-chan? "

Irina's eyes widened with excitement, her lips curling into an eager smile. " Oh! Count me in! Visiting the Devil duo sounds like a blast, especially after hearing about how he changed Devil society. Also, Uncle Michael mentioned wanting to speak with you in a few weeks. I hope his peerage card thing works out — I reeeeaaaallly want to become one of its testers! "

Haha, so he listened to my suggestion of how to fix the problem with angels falling and not being able to make more which makes you so special cause oh are the first second generation angel that can't fall. Naruto said while happy to hear this news

Koneko couldn't help but stifle a soft chuckle, thoroughly entertained by the palpable enthusiasm emanating from her companions. Their excitement was infectious, drawing her into their whirlwind of energy.

" Looks like our path is set, then, " she remarked with a grin, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. " Off to the underworld, we venture! "

The notion was met with a burst of agreement from her male friend, their voices blending in a symphony of determination.

" Of course, after school, " Koneko added, injecting a touch of practicality into their enthusiasm.

But before they could fully immerse themselves in their post-school plans, Irina's voice cut through the air like a sudden gust of wind, laden with excitement.

" Wait, hold on! I've got something to share with you guys! " Irina's interruption was as loud as it was unexpected, but her enthusiasm knew no bounds.

" Calm down, Irina-chan, " Naruto intervened, attempting to rein in the chaotic energy swirling around them. " We're all ears. What's the surprise? "

Irina took a deep breath, her anticipation practically tangible as she prepared to reveal her secret.

" Okay, listen up, " she began, her voice barely containing the bubbling excitement within. " Our class is going to Kyoto! We're heading to the Fushimi Inari shrine. "

The news hit Naruto and Koneko like a bolt from the blue, their eyes widening in astonishment as they absorbed the unexpected announcement. It was as if a whole new world of possibilities had just opened up before them, igniting a fire of anticipation within their hearts.

As Koneko took a step back, her foot caught on an unseen obstacle, causing her to stumble unexpectedly. In her flustered state, she collided clumsily with Naruto and ended up touching and feeling " it ", the impact jolting through her body.

" T-th-that's… " Koneko's voice faltered as a rush of warmth flooded her cheeks, her words trailing off into a hesitant murmur.

" ~ My my my ~ , Koneko-chan, I didn't know you wanted me like that. All you had to do was ask, and I would have given it to you, " Naruto said suggestively.

Naruto said after getting caught off guard by the sudden contact, Naruto's mind spun momentarily, trying to grasp the situation. Realization dawned on him, a spark of understanding igniting in his eyes. " Ah, this is... good news, right?" he managed, his tone a mix of confusion and excitement.

Seizing the moment, Naruto swiftly interjected, addressing another person. " Um, Irina-chan, could you just stay here for a moment? I need to talk to Koneko-chan. "

With a super fast motion, Naruto took Koneko and led her away from the bustling crowd, guiding her to a more secluded spot within the cafeteria's confines.

As they ventured into the quieter corner, Koneko's nerves danced like wildfire within her, her heart drumming a rapid beat against her ribs. " Um, Naruto-kun, " she started, her voice a timid murmur, " you... you can release your hold on my hips now. " A blush stained her cheeks with embarrassment, her words quivering with uncertainty." N-Naruto, " Koneko stuttered, her voice trembling softly." Y-Yeah, " Naruto stuttered back, his own voice faltering as he loosened his grip on her waist, a whirlwind of emotions swirling in his mind.

" Hey, Koneko-chan, " Naruto began, his tone carrying a hint of excitement tinged with nervousness, " this field trip couldn't have come at a better time. It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Not only does it provide a perfect cover for my presence there, but I also get to attend my cousin's 8th birthday and witness the next yokai leader selection ceremony. Although, " he added with a casual shrug, " I'm not particularly invested in who gets chosen. "

Naruto-kun, please take this seriously, " Koneko interjected, her voice tinged with concern. " You'll be seen as royalty among the yokai, and that could attract unwanted attention. What if something happens to you, or what if… " Her voice trailed off, worry evident in her tone.

Naruto leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead, a gesture meant to soothe her anxieties. " Don't worry, Koneko-chan, " he murmured.

In Koneko's mind, a whirlwind of thoughts raced. ' He kissed my forehead! This is incredible, even though... even though a kiss on the lips would have been even better! '

As Naruto noticed the deepening blush on Koneko's face, matching the fiery hue of his hair, he became concerned. " Um, Koneko, are you alright? "

Placing a hand on her forehead, Naruto watched as Koneko suddenly slumped, her consciousness slipping away. With lightning-fast reflexes, he caught her before she hit the ground, holding her securely in his arms. " Well, this is unexpected, " he mused, a small smile tugging at his lips. " Time to head to Iri-chan's. Hey, ' Ko-chan ' isn't a bad nickname. "

Rejoining Irina, the trio continued to discuss their plans for the upcoming field trip until the lunch bell signaled the end of their break.

After school, Naruto voiced his concern about their missing friend, Amigae-chan.

"Hey, Koneko-chan, and Iri-chan, do either of you know where Amigae-chan is? I've noticed she hasn't been around for the past week. Any ideas?" Naruto asked, his brow furrowed with worry.

A sense of concern settled over the group as they deliberated on Amigae's whereabouts.

"I've got an idea," Irina exclaimed, her eyes alight with determination. "Why don't we go check on her at her house?"

Naruto hesitated. "That sounds good, but we don't know where she lives."

With a smirk, Koneko revealed that she knew Amigae's address, reigniting their determination to find their missing friend.

As they made their way to Amigae's house, their steps quickened with each passing moment, driven by their shared concern for their friend's well-being.

Upon arriving at Amigae's doorstep, Naruto's senses tingled with apprehension, a feeling of unease settling in the pit of his stomach.

Knocking on the door, they were met with a strained voice from within.

"It's us, Koneko-san and Naruto-kun. We came to check on you and bring you some gifts," Naruto called out, his voice laced with worry.

As they entered the house, a palpable sense of foreboding hung in the air, sending shivers down Naruto's spine.

In Naruto's mind, a flurry of thoughts raced as he detected an unusual energy emanating from within. It felt akin to a sacred gear stirring, possibly causing Amigae pain. Determined to delve deeper, he silently resolved to confront the issue head-on.

"Hey, Ko-chan, Iri-chan," Naruto's voice was calm but firm, his gaze locking onto Amigae. "How about you both go and get whatever you want? I have to talk with Amigae alone real quick. When you get back, we'll all talk."

Curiosity danced in Ko-chan's eyes, but she nodded in agreement. "Yeah, sure, but why?" she inquired, concern evident in her tone.

"She sounds sick," Naruto explained, his voice laced with a hint of urgency. "I want to check if I know what her illness is so that I can call you or Koneko-chan to get the medication."

With a shared understanding, Naruto initiated a telepathic connection with Koneko, his thoughts echoing through her mind with clarity and purpose.

;"I want you to keep Iri-chan busy," Naruto instructed, his mental tone unwavering. "Take her to a few stores or go to places she wants to go she still new to the supernatural and hasn't seen the dark side of it and I have a bad feeling so take her and leave.";

With a nod of understanding, Koneko turned to Irina, seamlessly diverting her attention away from the impending conversation. As they departed from view, Naruto's focus returned to Amigae house

Little did he know, a perilous encounter awaited him, one that would test his strength and resolve in ways he never imagined

As Naruto approached Amigae's door, a sense of unease settled over him, his footsteps echoing in the silence of the hallway. With no response to his knock, he resorted to a touch of magic, allowing him to unlock the door with a flick of his wrist effortlessly. The door creaked open slowly, revealing the dimly lit interior of Amigae's room.

Stepping inside, Naruto's heightened senses immediately went to work, scanning the room for any sign of his friend. His nose twitched as he picked up the familiar scent of Amigae, mingled with an unfamiliar aroma that sent a shiver down his spine. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't quite place the mysterious scent, a troubling sign that something was amiss.

"Hey, Amigae, how are you doi—" Naruto's words caught in his throat as his gaze fell upon the scene before him.

There, lying on the floor, was Amigae, her form hunched over in pain. Naruto's eyes widened in horror as he took in the sight of a tengu sword embedded in her chest, its blade gleaming ominously in the dim light. His gaze then drifted to her arms, where a pair of black, wolf-like paw gauntlets adorned her wrists, a stark contrast to the innocence of her usual attire.

"N-naruto-kun, h-help m-me," Amigae's voice was weak, and strained as she struggled to speak through the blood that spilled from her lips.

Fear and anger surged through Naruto as he witnessed his friend's suffering. Without a moment's hesitation, his magical energy burst forth, enveloping the room in a swirling vortex of power. His tails grew 2x bigger than before and fused, turning into one, formidable appendage that crackled with untamed energy that was 2x stronger than the original 9.

With fierce determination, Naruto conjured a spinning ball of chakra, infusing it with fox fire and destructive magic. With a swift motion, he hurled the ball toward the tengu, the force of his attack striking true as it obliterated the creature in an explosion of light and heat.

As the dust settled and the room fell silent once more, Naruto knelt by Amigae's side, his heart heavy with worry. With trembling hands, he reached out to her, offering whatever comfort he could in the face of such devastation.

Desperation etched across his face, the boy posed a haunting question: "If I could heal you, but you'd transform into a devil, would you accept?" Trembling, she stuttered, "I-I would, if I c-could stay with you..." Her voice trailed off as life ebbed away. In a bold move,

In a bold move that sent shivers through the shadows, Naruto summoned his evil pieces, their presence looming ominously in the darkness. Among them, his knight piece glowed with an unsettling intensity, casting an eerie halo around him. With unyielding resolve, he seized the pulsating emblem, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade.

"I, Naruto Gremory," he proclaimed, his words ringing with a potent blend of command and conviction, "lay claim to Amigae Mitsuse. From the clutches of death, I summon her to be my knight, the very essence of protection for our peerage. Let her wield the sword at my command, the shield of our family. No one shall lay claim to her but me, for she is to become my loyal servant."

As each word reverberated through the air, the scarlet knight piece descended with purpose, it's crimson glow enveloping Amigae's form. At that moment, her fate was sealed, her essence melding with the darkness as a new chapter of her existence sealing her fate with a new transformation of life as she knew it.

As exhaustion weighed heavily upon him, Naruto's weary gaze shifted to the swirling mass of chakra that comprised his one tail. In the midst of his weariness, he couldn't shake the sensation that this single tail held more raw power than his original nine tails combined. The immense strain of his recent battles bore down on him, threatening to overwhelm his senses.

Struggling to maintain consciousness, Naruto's vision blurred and wavered as darkness encroached upon his periphery. With a final, futile attempt to resist the overwhelming fatigue, he reached out to grasp onto his dwindling strength. But it was in vain.

In the end, the relentless exhaustion claimed him, dragging him into the depths of unconsciousness as his body succumbed to the weight of his immense power and the trials that accompanied it.
