Hey lads, how y'all doing.

We've now arrived at the rating game, about time if you ask me.

I do hope you all enjoy this chapter but I have to be honest when I say that I'm not the best at writing battle scenes.

Hope you all enjoy.

'hi' Characters thinking

"What's up" Characters talking

'Oh my' Demon or monster thinking

"Enough!" Demon or monster talking

"How intriguing" Announcer's voice

Start:

"YOSH! We can do this everyone, lets win this match for Buchou and go back to Kuoh Academy." Issei declared confidently, drawing out smiles from the rest of the peerage and successfully erasing away most of the tension that weighed down on the group.

Naruto smiled softly. It seemed more and more like the leader of the perverted trio was like a carbon copy of him when he was younger when you took away Issei's perverted tendencies.

Having gotten to know Issei more during the past ten days, The shinobi found himself actually liking the boosted gear user. 'He's cool.'

"Alright so with the way the rating games work, Riser no doubt would want his pawns to arrive in our territory so they can promote themselves, obviously we have to prevent that." Kiba stated simply.

Rias nodded. "Indeed and I know exactly where I want you all to be stationed in order to ensure our victory." Everyone paid deep attention as she went over their battle formation. "The gymnasium is a strategic threshold and whoever gets their first would have a major advantage. Kiba-Kun, Koneko-Chan. I need you both to secure the gymnasium and afford us every advantage you can secure."

The mentioned pair looked at their leader determinedly. "I won't let you down Buchou." Kiba bowed.

"We'll make them regret deciding to come to the gymnasium." Koneko cracked her knuckles.

The crimson haired ruin princess looked pleased at their declaration, she turned her attention to her smiling queen. "Akeno-Chan, just as Kiba-Kun mentioned, there will no doubt be pawns trying to sneak in here to promote themselves and I do imagine that they might also be flanked by other chess pieces, make them regret their strategy."

"Ufufufufu the idea of hurting all those naughty weak devils is making me… excited." Akeno placed a delicate hand on her cheek, her normally seductive voice being especially potent at the end and causing a large blush to erupt on Issei's visage.

Not that Naruto could blame him for his reaction in all honesty. Even he struggled not to blush when faced with the combination of such an extremely beautiful woman talking in such a lewdly exciting way.

Rias sweatdropped but inclined her head. Her eyes darted to her pawn and bishop and immediately both Asia and Issei straightened up once her attention was placed on them. "Issei-kun, Asia-Chan. You both remember those lessons that Akeno-Chan taught you on setting up traps right?" At her words both of the mentioned devils nodded.

"I want you both to set traps around the football arena and on the ground to the right side of the gymnasium, after that I need you both to heavily support Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko. Asia, whenever someone on our team is hurt, let them come to you so you can heal them."

"I'll do my best Buchou, I won't disappoint you." Asia murmured determinedly.

Rias smiled and shifted her attention to her only pawn. "Issei, once you and Asia are done with the traps, you have two objectives." Issei gave her his undivided attention. "The first is to keep building up your power so you can transfer it to either Akeno, Kiba or Koneko. Depending on who needs it more. The second objective is to protect Asia whenever she's healing someone."

Issei slammed his fist on his chest. "Don't worry Buchou. Those dirtbags won't know what hit them. We're walking away today with a victory." He pumped his fist in the air.

Naruto gazed at the red-head curiously. "What abou-" "All right devils, let the rating game between Riser Phenex and Rias Gremory begin." Naruto slumped childishly as the announcer's voice reverberated throughout the entire pocket dimension.

"Alright, Buchou has given us our orders so let's not waste valuable time." True to her position as queen, Akeno led everyone out leaving only Naruto and Rias remaining in the clubroom.

"So what do you need me to do Rias-Chan? I am at your full disposal." The shinobi playfully saluted her, eliciting a small giggle from the normally reserved heiress.

Rias tilted her head slightly, crimson bangs framing her visage in a manner most enticing. "Well first things first, I need you to make ten clones Naruto-Kun. Riser has the advantage of numbers and no matter how capable our own members are, I do imagine that a few will be able to sneak by and reach our territory."

"That would be an issue."

"Precisely which is why I need your clones to sweep the area continuously and make sure that none come close by."

"Ahhh, I get it." Naruto smashed his fist into his palm. "I'd have ten clones ready to intercept any intruders while I would be fighting alongside everyone else on the front."

Rias shook her head solemnly. "Not exactly, you are right about the clones intercepting but as for you… I need you by my side at all times."

Disbelief collided and merged with confusion as he gazed at the ruin princess with startling intensity. "You can't be serious."

"I don't like it either that my precious servants don't have you to fight alongside them but this is the most sensible play I could make."

Naruto rolled his eyes. "And how pray tell is this sensible? We should be fighting alongside them."

Rias didn't miss his implication as she clenched her fists and glared at her newest rook. "Do you seriously think that I wouldn't fight alongside my family if I could? This game is strategic in nature, the moment I lose we all lose… If this was a life or death battle or any other type of battle I'd gladly join them along their side, even lead them against whoever we're fighting but this is a rating game."

"Do not forget that if I lose, it won't be just me suffering from a cruel fate. I can't let that happen Naruto. I will not allow Riser to do however he pleases with my precious family and if staying back means that the possibility of Riser winning is lesser than if I were to participate than I will do exactly that." Rias added, less than pleased with the shinobi's tone.

Nearly fifteen seconds had passed before the blonde jinchuriki sighed. "Alright, I can understand your reasoning wholeheartedly, doesn't mean I have to like it."

The red-head softened her glare. "I know and trust me when I say that I'm not fond of the idea that we are not there to fight with them but this is the most sensible decision."

Naruto nodded. "… I'm sorry for what I was implying, that wasn't fair to you."

"Nothing to apologize for Naruto-Kun, the way you reacted shows that you care. If anything, I respect you even more now."

"There is one thing I don't understand though, you know that I can make a lot more than ten clones so why not let me make more?"

"That's because I want you to be as close to full strength as possible, we're going to eventually have to face Riser and I want you to be as strong as you can be."

Naruto internally frowned, he couldn't fault her decision making as Rias wasn't aware of just how strong and just how large his reserves truly were, based on her knowledge of him, she did make a tactically wise decision.

The blonde had no one but himself to blame for not revealing his power properly. A decision that unfortunately was ingrained into him as deception was a shinobi's most powerful weapon, or so he'd been repeatedly told.

"I understand." Forming ten shadow clones, Naruto nodded towards his clones and watched mutely as the replicas all shunshin away to fulfill their purpose.

Turning towards the heiress, the shinobi quirked an inquisitive eyebrow. "So what do we do until we face Riser?"

"Welllll." Rias purred sensuously, eyes twinkling mischievously as she got up and headed towards the perplexed blonde, grabbing his hand and forcing him to sit alongside her on the couch. "I like to keep up to date with the science world and I learned something very interesting a few months back."

"Ohh?" The blonde gazed at the only other occupant with a healthy dose of intrigue. "Do tell."

"I've learned that when bonding with pets, stroking and caressing them helps in immensely lowering the stress hormone cortisol, that very same act of petting also helps in increasing oxytocin. The hormone that is responsible for helping mothers bond with their babies at birth.

"Not to be rude but how does this topic relate to what we should do in the meantime?" The jinchuriki couldn't refrain from asking.

A small smile plucked at Rias's lips as she gently cupped Naruto's face with both hands much to his embarrassment and secret delight. "Because we need to relax Naruto-Kun and one way to do so is for you to allow me to pet you."

Naruto deadpanned. "Yeah… about that, I'm no pet. Sorry Rias-Chan but I am afraid that I can't help you there." He felt slightly chagrined that she thought of him like a puppy or something. Just the thought had him grimace as he felt his masculine pride take a plunge.

As though she could read his mind, Rias laughed softly. "Please. Trust me when I say that it will be an enjoyable experience for us."

Getting ready to decline her offer once more, the words had instead lodged themselves in Naruto's throat as he watched Rias's beautiful features contort into a cute pout with tears building up in the corner of her eyes. "Uhhh…"

What was he supposed to say to her? What were they even talking about?

"Is that a yes Naruto-Kun?" she whimpered softly, looking all the more like a wounded animal the longer time stretched on. The shinobi dumbly nodded.

The effect was immediate as Rias grinned delightedly, excitedly moving him around until his body sprawled on the couch with his head laid on her lap.

'Do not blush! Do not blush! Do not blush!' Naruto repeatedly chanted to himself. determined to maintain his composure for once.

Whether he succeeded in his objective or not… Nobody knows.

(Now I could write the scenes describing the fight and the rating game but let's all be honest, almost all of you are not exactly interested in the fight scenes going on this rating game, hell I too am not interested so let's agree by unanimous vote to skip to the end.

I'll just briefly go over what happened, Kiba took out a total of four pawns along with both a knight and a bishop, in his exhausted state he could not defend himself against Xuelan and was taken out. Koneko fights her and knocks her fellow rook out along with two pawns but was taken out by a surprise attack from Riser's queen.

Yubelluna attempts to take out Issei and Asia, the duo who were powering up and healing the peerage with their sacred gear but Akeno intervenes.

Akeno puts up a good fight and wins the first round but Yubelluna uses the Phenex tears to fight again, Akeno ultimately wins thanks to a combination of a massive build up in energy given to her by Issei and due to Asia throwing herself in Yubelluna's final attack in order to shield the thunder priestess.

Before Akeno fought Yubelluna, she fought and defeated the other rook remaining.

Issei is naturally distraught by Asia's sacrifice but pulls himself together, Ravel attempts to knock out Akeno in her exhausted state but Issei interferes.

Issei wows Ravels and thus her crush on the red dragon emperor is born, she surrenders.

Naruto's clones take out the remaining two pawns attempting to sneak in and promote to queens.

Akeno and Issei are taken out by a large fireball courtesy of Riser who's the only opposing devil left.

Naturally Riser's feeling quite victorious even when the game is not over as he is almost full strength, he patiently waits for Rias to show herself along with her new rook.)

Satan Conference room.

Sirzech clenched his fists as he eyed the wide screen television showcasing his sister's performance and stats with worry and concern.

'Calm down Sirzech, only Riser is left to face in order for Rias to win, and let's not forget that she has that rook of hers to help.' The crimson Satan successfully avoided the unpleasant thoughts lingering in the deeper parts of his mind telling him that her rook was worthless and she'd lose.

He tried his best to focus on the positive. Seeing as though she possessed what was previously his mutated rook and that was the piece that his sister's newest piece was tagged with, that meant that Rias obviously saw something incredibly impressive in him to use such a piece.

If she was desperate to fill her peerage then using either her remaining bishop or knight would work, but to deliberately use the mutated rook… There was no doubt in his mind that Rias had a valid reason for reviving him with that particular piece.

A reason that he will come to find out pretty soon by the looks of it.

"Wow Rias is doing so well for her first rating game against an experienced devil! You must be so proud of your sister Sirzech!" Serafall commented cheerfully.

"I most definitely am, I just hope she wins." Sirzech murmured worriedly.

"She will definitely win Zech-Tan, you have nothing to worry about." Serafall grasped his shoulder comfortingly.

Off to the side, Grayfia clenched her jaw in jealousy and looked away. She was well aware that nothing was going on between the two satans just as she knew that matters pertaining to Sirzech's love life was not her business.

But even with all that happened she still couldn't help but want to comfort him even till now. To be the one holding his hand and whispering comforting words to him. A reality that seemed would never be hers to grasp ever again.

Grayfia felt her chest tighten and looked down miserably.

She wondered glumly if she ever would be happy, truly happy ever again.

"Oh look! We finally get to see Rias and her new rook in action!" Serafall's voice brought her back to the real world, Grayfia gazed at the display, orbs the color of frosty ice locked in on the blonde man standing alongside Rias.

'He became a devil huh… well I do hope that he actually manages to help you win Rias.' The silver queen of annihilation brushed aside her earlier feelings and watched the proceeding rating game quietly.

Pocket Dimension: Rating Game Arena

A large tsunami of apprehension washed over Rias as she stood before Riser.

It was only due to the hatred she harbored for the man trying to force her into marriage and due to the presence of her powerful rook, that she managed not to collapse as her heart drummed rapidly with trepidation and anxiousness.

"I have to admit Rias, you have performed a lot better than I expected." Riser smirked cockily, not even bothering to glance at the man next to his fiancé.

Naruto frowned, hardly amused with the devil's cocky personality. He never had a high opinion of Riser, a rather natural predicament after everything Rias had told him about the man. But the way Riser easily disregarded everyone's efforts and acted as though his friends were simply pieces played by Rias…

Now that he was actually face to face with the guy, Naruto could see just how irritating he was and such an irritation came from just being in the Phenex devil's presence for less than a minute.

"Enough Riser! Can't you see that I don't want to marry you!?"

Riser laughed amusedly, quite entertained by Rias's angry question. "I'm afraid what you want doesn't matter my dear, this marriage has to happen for all of devil kind, the fate of our race depends on it. The number of pure blood devils have been diminishing at an astonishing fast rate as the years passed by. That was a fact that was recognized by our fathers." He waved his arms, as though the evidence of his claim was all around them.

"You call me selfish for wanting this to happen but are you not the selfish one with how you prioritize your own needs over the needs of the underworld? The needs of our home" Riser asked her smugly.

The ruin-haired princess clenched her teeth in frustration, unable to rebut against her fiancé's admittedly good point. It was a point that oftentimes had her wondering if she was doing the right thing by vehemently denying this engagement from happening.

"Or perhaps it's the underworld that is selfish for trying to force Rias into this marriage in order to bolster the number of the pureblood." Rias snapped her gaze to Naruto. Eyes wide with surprise as her rook came to her defense. "Besides, what kind of home sacrifices its children's right to choose? Not a very good one, I know that."

Riser shifted his attention to his fellow blonde. "And you are?" he asked unconcernedly.

"Naruto Uzumaki, the guy who will kick your ass… by the way, I'd look behind you very quickly."

Riser grunted. "You must take me fo… ahhhhhh!" A shadow clone snuck up behind the arrogant devil and roundhouse kicked him towards the duo.

Naruto quickly dashed towards him, swiftly closing the gap between them as Riser stumbled and tried and failed to catch his footing on time, the newly reincarnated devil gave out a punishing uppercut to the other devil's jaw, sending him straight in the air much to the shock of all who were watching the proceedings of the match.

"N-N-Naruto!" Rias gazed at her newest servant with immense shock. She was well aware that he was immensely strong, the memory of the defeat he delivered to her and her peerage still fresh in her mind, but the way he had effortlessly sent her betrothed into the air…

Her plan from the very start was that she and Naruto along with any other of her remaining servants would attack Riser together.

The red-head hated to acknowledge the concept of Riser being strong, she detested the idea even that he was a capable warrior, but even she had to admit that he was powerful and yet her rook seemed to be even more powerful than him!

The shinobi peered over his shoulder to toss the red-head a confident and firm look. "Don't worry Rias, I promised you that you'd be free to marry whoever you want and I plan to see through that promise."

Rias stared at her rook for a few seconds before ultimately nodding. "O-okay."

The shinobi returned his attention to his opponent and just in time to notice the incoming fireball headed his way.

Jumping to the side, Naruto once again dashed towards his Riser who was this time ready for him, within seconds the combatants engaged in hand to hand combat, A talented prodigy going up against a disciplined hard worker.

Through all the weaving and strikes, it was abundantly clear to the spectators just who was the more skilled fighter. Riser, though capable and gifted in the art of martial arts, had nothing on the shinobi who trained day and night in order to fulfill his dream of becoming a Kage.

Ducking underneath a punch that would have broken his nose, Naruto retaliated with a hook to the liver that had Riser wheezing painfully before he saw stars as the shinobi dragged his elbow in an upward slash that connected with his opponent's jaw and sent fumbling back.

Riser growled and pedaled back in towards his fiancé's rook, throwing a powerful low kick that would have uprooted the new devil from the ground had he not jumped over the appendage. The third son to the house of Phenex followed up his attack with a forward kick aimed towards the jinchuriki's chest.

Naruto quickly side-stepped from the kick, bringing his forearms up to defend from the spinning back fist that came right after, a quick punch to his exposed stomach caused Riser to kneel over in pain before Naruto grabbed hold of his arm and flung him towards the windows above.

It was a couple of seconds later that the Phenex devil's form emerged from the roof of the building. The shinobi squatted briefly before he jumped, landing on the rooftop of the school and internally berating himself for choosing not to learn how to fly when he learned about his new wings.

He figured that if he did have the option to become human once more and God knew that he hoped. then learning how to fly wouldn't matter since he'd lose the ability to do so. A mistake on his part. Naruto hoped that he wouldn't further regret his decision anymore than he already had.

'I will never make a mistake like this ever again.' He vowed to himself.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Naruto frowned as he noted the bruises decorating the older devil's body fading away right before his eyes. "Amazing isn't it?" Riser voiced out, having caught the glances sent at his previously found wounds. "My healing abilities along with many other factors is what separates me from you, low-class trash." He sneered.

"Let me guess, factors you possess and I don't because of the difference in our blood?" Naruto suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, already knowing the answer to his own question.

Riser nodded cockily. "Precisely, it's because I am a pure-blooded devil from the house of Phenex and because you're just a pathetic reincarnated devil that I will always win, the idea of you even winning is laughable." He stated with utmost confidence, evidently forgetting the thrashing that he just received at the hands of the reincarnated devil he was ridiculing.

Naruto hmphed. 'It always comes to me facing some arrogant ass thinking they're the best in the world just because of their blood.'

With a burst of speed that wasn't shown before, Naruto seemingly teleported in front of Riser, driving his fist into the older man's visage.

The Phenex devil growled and threw a cross that unfortunately failed to land as the jinchuriki sidestepped and thrust a kick aimed at the side of the pure devil's knee.

Riser immediately buckled, kneecap landing roughly on the tiles of the rooftop. His torment didn't end there as his head rocked upward, blood spewing from his broken nose courtesy of Naruto taking a single step and kneeing him in the face.

Sensing imminent danger, the shinobi backed away swiftly as flames burst all around the older devil, Naruto observed patiently as the flames washed away to reveal Riser looking unharmed and well, an arrogant smirk plastered on his visage.

"Hahh, don't you see!? I can't be beaten, no matter how many times you hit me it won't matter, I'll just keep regenerating back into prime condition. Meanwhile all you'll be accomplishing is wasting both our time and your energy." Riser confidently declared.

"Give up now and spare yourself the humiliation and pain that will come your way." He added haughtily. Wholeheartedly believing that he could easily wipe the floor with the younger blonde.

Naruto looked at the pure-blooded devil with boredom. "Listen dude, here's some advice for ya. Never underestimate your opponents, and since you're so charming let me give you another one. Don't talk so much in a fight unless you really have to."

Riser grinned. "The advice is appreciated, allow me to repay you with this." Shooting both hands in the air, the devil from the house of Phenex formed a massive fireball and chucked it at the immobile blonde. Watching with sadistic glee as the flames swallowed his opponent.

The pure-blooded devil threw his head back and laughed uproariously. "WHAHAHAHAH! What an idiot!" Riser feigned wiping a tear from his eyes and gazed at his soon to be wife standing quite a distance away with mischief and humor. "I have to say my darling Rias that you really do know how to choose your pieces."

"I agree." Rias smiled much to his confusion, before he could ponder any longer as to her reason he felt two arms encircling his stomach before his world was flipped over as Naruto delivered a beautiful German Suplex that buried Riser's upper torso underneath the rooftop of the academy.

Backpedaling as flames once more burst from the older devil's form, Naruto relished the look of shock and bewilderment that now graced the phenex's features. "How? I watched you burn!?"

"Not really." Naruto waved a finger around as though he was admonishing a child. "You watched my clone burn, remember that one clone that kicked you in the back from the beginning? That was the one."

A look of realization crossed over the pure devil's visage before his features contorted into a look of fury and utter disdain. "You will pay for the disrespect you insolent low class trash!"

Raising his hands upwards, Riser concentrated and poured an intense amount of energy even for him and formed an even larger fireball, gargantuan in size when compared to its previous size. With sadistic joy the pureblood hurled his attack at his fiancé's rook.

Releasing the gravity seal that weighed heavily on his body, Naruto grinned as his body felt even lighter than a feather. Running far enough to the side so as to avoid the blast radius that surely would come, Naruto then dashed straight towards the Phenex devil, jumping and twisting and side-stepping the barrage of fire attacks thrown by the devil as he tried desperately to stop the younger blonde from rapidly closing the distance between them.

Once close enough, Naruto struck a vicious punch that had Riser spewing saliva before the shinobi followed it up with a left hook that had the older devil tumbling back so as to regain his balance.

Having been taught to always exploit openings in battle, Naruto didn't give his opponent a chance to recover as he tensed his right leg and swung it towards the older devil, his heel pivoting as he swung his hips in order to maximize his kicking power.

The sound of Riser's nose breaking as his shin made contact with the man's face was loud and satisfying to the blonde's ear. He watched as the devil's body was thrown far back, frowning as the man's wound healed instantly.

'I won't get anywhere with taijutsu, at least not for quite some time... If I do know something about regenerating it's that no matter how much you heal, you will still feel pain, that's not mentioning that it is dependent on his reserves. Of those two things I'm sure.' Naruto narrowed his eyes as the perfect idea came to mind. 'I know exactly what I must do.'

Noticing the massive wall of fire heading his way, Naruto jumped, eyes widening in surprise as Riser flew towards him, hand encased in fire so he could burn the one who had disgraced him since the start of their bout.

The shinobi swiftly formed a shadow clone that hurled him away from the older blonde, torn between being annoyed and feeling respect for his opponent.

"I noticed that throughout the entire fight that you have not once unfurled your wings…" Riser chuckled, flapping his wings as though he were mocking the reincarnated devil for his inability to fly. "Could it be that you still don't know how to fly? Hah, too bad for you I suppose. What kind of devil doesn't know how to fly!?"

Naruto deadpanned. "You talk too much." Bringing his hand into his signature cross formation, the blonde shinobi created roughly around a hundred clones, trying his utmost best and failing to suppress the wide and smug grin that was now plastered on his visage due to Riser's flabbergasted expression.

"What's wrong man? You act like you've never seen someone do this before?" No matter how hard he tried, the jinchuriki just couldn't stop himself from taunting the irritable man above him.

Riser narrowed his eyes dangerously. "It doesn't matter how many of you there are, I will burn you all!"

Sensing the incoming danger, Naruto and his clones all scattered away into groups of two, each pair distanced far away from one another so as to not be targeted all at once. Scattered like this Riser could not pinpoint the original from the numerous replicas below him.

That didn't stop the older devil from trying to incinerate them as he fired his magic again and again against any group in his line of sight, some of his attacks connecting and successfully dispelling the clones while others not so much.

As though Naruto possessed telepathy, all the remaining pairs attacked together in perfect sync, each clone grabbing a hold of their brother replica and hurling them head first towards the devil above as if they were missiles.

Riser reeled back in shock before quickly flying around to dodge the numerous blonde projectiles fired towards him.

Though the Phenex devil was an excellent aerial user, he could not get away unscathed for long from the barrage of clone missiles, as evident when one of the clones was catapulted towards him and had him gasping for breath when the replica's head was smashed into his guts.

Right away he lost control of his flight and was sent crashing down into the roof of the school.

Before he could get up, he was jumped by the many clones around him who proceeded to pummel him, bombarding him with attacks that had him dazed. Punched, kicked, kneed, elbowed, even bitch slapped.

Riser experienced it all.

He could hardly concentrate on fighting back when his very physiology went against him by directing his power to heal wounds inflicted on him by Satan knows how many clones.

Ignoring the pain felt all around his body, he focused as much as he could and mustered the energy he still had in him not used to heal to him, centralizing all of it in one single point, the pure-blooded devil released his power and was satisfied to hear the surprised and fearful yells of the clones as they dispelled from the sudden fire that emerged and burnt them.

Getting up almost painfully, Riser winced as the bruises that now decorated his body healed much, much slower than usual. He noted with great shock that he was actually breathing heavily, greatly winded from his battle with his fiancé's rook.

Meanwhile said rook was still breathing evenly, looking like he hadn't exhausted himself at all since the start of the fight. The discovery made the older blonde frown.

It was almost unfathomable to believe that he, a high-class devil belonging to the house of Phenex, was struggling to take care of just a single low-class devil trash.

The very thought made his blood boil as he glared hatefully at the shinobi.

"I will not lose… to an inferior low-class like you… I… am Riser Phenex… and you… will bow… to me." Riser said through harsh wheezing.

Naruto's lips thinned as he addressed the older devil. "Tell me something Riser, why do you desire Rias so much? It's clear you don't love her and I doubt it's because of fame and prestige since I understand that the Phenex clan is a major influence in the underworld… So why?" He questioned genuinely.

Rias who was watching and gaping at the entire one-sided battle perked up, paying deep attention to the conversation.

"That's easy… haven't you looked at her." He pointed his arm towards the uncomfortable red-head. "She's a beauty, the top prize. She belongs only with the best and I am the best. I deserve her." Riser declared.

Naruto grew disgusted. "Rias is not a prize, she's a woman with dreams and feelings."

"What she is, is a whore with big tits and a fat fucking ass. I see no other use for her other than her taking care of my needs."

The shinobi shook his head, sickened by the man's revolting fantasies. "I've heard enough."

Bringing out his hand, Naruto concentrated his chakra on the palm of his hand, manipulating his energy and forming it into a large bright blue sphere. "Rasengan"

With his newfound speed, courtesy of his intense training with the gravity seals, Naruto vanished before Riser's eyes just to appear before him, slamming the beautifully glowing ball right into the devil's chest.

"AAArrrghhhh!" The youngest son of the Phenex household screamed, experiencing pain like never before as the attack kept digging in deeper into his body.

It was with utmost relief for the older blonde that the sphere then exploded, sending his body ramming into the wall behind him. it hurt that the sphere exploded but at least he no longer had to feel it digging into his skin any longer.

Naruto dropped his arm, surveying the damage given and feeling a swell of pity for his opponent before he quelled it. The Rasengan was a powerful jutsu, destructive in nature and most assuredly capable of demolishing large mountains if the larger variant of the technique were ever used for such purposes.

The jinchuriki recalled perfectly that one time when his Godfather created a massive one-handed rasengan and destroyed a medium sized mountain because he called bullshit on its destructive capabilities. Ever since that day he hadn't ever doubted his master's word when it came to getting stronger.

'If only Jiraiya-sensei could see how I finally made the rasengan one-handed without the use of shadow clones.'

He hadn't trained as extensively as he should have the past ten days when it came to chakra control but the young shinobi was proud to note that he could finally form the rasengan one-handed. A rather major accomplishment for the blonde as his abundance in chakra always made it difficult to have a stellar control in it.

Now the next step was for him to be able to form a massive rasengan one handed and he would be good to go.

Before the shinobi could ponder any longer on his thoughts, the sound of Riser's grunting brought him back to reality and Naruto felt internally sheepish as he could already picture Kakashi-sensei chiding him for not paying attention in a battle.

"Was that your arghhh b-best shot?" Riser asked, clearly feigning to be alright when that attack took a lot out of him.

Naruto shook his head. "No, that was the weakest variation actually."

"W-W-WEAKEST!?"

The shinobi nodded. "Indeed, let me show you another one." Quickly creating a shadow clone that didn't waste any time in fulfilling its purpose, it brought its hands underneath the original and together they formed another Rasengan.

The Rasengan formed was absolutely massive in size, possessing roughly around the same magnitude that Jiraiya's Rasengan had when he destroyed the medium sized mountain during the training trip.

With its job now done, the clone dispelled leaving the original to grin menacingly at his opponent. "At around this size, the Rasengan can destroy mountains, I imagine that won't bode well for you when it hits."

He stepped forward and Riser fearfully cried out. "W-WAIT!" The shinobi raised an eyebrow. The high-class devil didn't waste time in explaining his intentions. "I give up! Just please don't use that against me!"

Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "Alright."

The flickering blue ball then dissipated quickly much to Riser's relief.

"Riser Phenex has surrendered, Rias Gremory is the winner of this rating game." The announcer's voice rang out.

The shinobi watched the man's form disappear quickly before he turned to look at shell-shocked Rias standing quite a long distance away.

Naruto gave her a small gentle smile. "I never go back on my word."

END.

Damn, this chapter was quite difficult to write. This right here is the first proper battle scene I've ever written and writing battle scenes is just not easy. (The battle scene in the first chapter doesn't count.)

Now that I'm done with this, I can finally start moving this story away from canon, so HURRAY!

I do hope you all enjoyed the chapter and my bad if the battle scene just wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.

Chapter 7, 8, and 9 are on my p.a.t.r.e.o.n feel free to check it out. Link: www.#patr#eon.#com/Demon_Knight939

Anyway, take care everyone and stay cool.

Peace.
