After defeating the strays Rias had officially given Naruto a room, which could translate to one thing, shopping. The crimson ruin princess had made Naruto shop for clothes and bedroom appliances. They started with clothes, he was slightly disappointed that there Rias wouldn't allow him to wear orange but he got over it. Eventually she picked out a blue long sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans and several other casual wear out fits; she also got him training clothes as well which consisted of shorts and a T-shirt. A school outfit and she let Naruto pick out some of his own clothes as long as there was no orange.
He had picked out a black compression shirt that showed of his incredibly lean physique coupled with white baggy sweatpants with a black piece of cloth acting as a loose belt.(Toji outfit) After that Rias left him to alone, and as the excitement of everything that had happened wore off, and being left alone, he remembered.Everything. He remembered how he had failed to keep his promise to Sakura.He remembered how, while he may have succeeded, he would never be able to reciprocate Hinata's feelings. And that hurt. A lot. He never particularly liked hurting people, but at times it was necessary. He had never hurt someone as emotionally as he had hinata. She would never know that Naruto had loved her too. He would never be able to see granny tsunade and tell her she could hand him the hat because he wasn't going anywhere. He felt bad for Kakashi to. That man had suffered so much, he deserved a break.
As his mind raced tears silently spilled down his face. He had to be strong, why may would everyone say when they saw the brave and unshakable Naruto Uzumaki, he had achieved the mangekyouo when he learned Jiraya had died, but if he hadn't then he would have awakened it anew. Jiraya. He had entrusted Naruto his dream and while he had achieved peace it would have been nice to die and see the sage in the after life telling him that he did good. That he was proud. And despite the sadness coursing though him he smiled a teary smile.
He tried to get his breathing under control taking long deep breaths. Finally letting out a large sigh he calmed. Drying his eyes he stood he wouldn't let anyone else down or cause anymore pain. He refused to. He would try and bring peace to this world to. He straightened his back he prepared to walk out of his room he could continue crying later, right now he felt a mass of negative emotions coming from Rias' room. He would be strong for those around him. But he stopped for a minute he hadn't heard the fluffy bastard say anything at all since he arrived. Sitting down in front of his door in the lotus position, he focused. A moment later he found himself in his sewer like mind scape finding the fox who seemed to be asleep he approached but that was when he noticed something funny. Kurama seemed larger than usual."Oi, you furry ashole wake up." Red, slotted eyes snapped open. "Shut up you insufferable blond runt." Then he noticed another weird thing there was 8 planet like balls in the sky. Pointing up the blond voiced his question." What's with the meteors." " I took the liberty of separating the ten tails chakra, and even with my other half it was tiring."
Then he continued " We are all tired out and recovering, it'll be at least a couple of days before we're action ready." Nodding the blonde seemed satisfied with that answer, the tailed beasts were fine. "You act like I can't handle myself." He said it in a mock hurt tone. "If it was just normal people I wouldn't be worried, unfortunately you're a trouble magnet and don't know what's good for you." Now the blond was actually annoyed." I'll have you know I've went the entirety of my time here without getting into a serious fight." "Whatever brat, I just wanted you to know you'll be on your own for a few days. Now shoo I need sleep."
As Naruto disappeared from his mind scape he couldn't help but give a fond grin towards the fox.Emerging in the real world he got to his feet and opened the door, Rias was still radiating negative emotions, and walked to the only other occupant of the apartment's room. He rapt his knuckles on the wooden door he heard a faint "come in." It was barely above a murmur but still loud enough to hear if you focused.
Entering he could see the redhead while still composed seemed anxious."You okay, Rias." It was simple, but he really couldn't think of anything else to say to the beautiful devil."Fine." Her response was curt and straightforward. " I don't know what gave the impression I wasn't though." The girl seemed curious lol as to what his response would be. "I felt like you were distressed." She waved her hand." I'm fine. There's no need to worry." Her voice was firm and left no room for an argument. Sighing, he decided he would talk to her later again, he would just wear her down with constant questioning if need be. He was stubborn like that. He gave a small smile before leaving the room.
Walking away he heard shuffling as well as feet hitting the ground at a rapid pace. He turned around and got into a fighting stance, ready to go should there be a threat. He was a little scowled to see issei out of breath and wearing a furious expression. "Naruto," his voice was pleading ", I need your help, the nun I met before the meeting a few days ago, she's been kidnapped by fallen angels." He rose an eyebrow Rias had told the boy to stay away from the nun as she was a sworn enemy to devils. How ever he was never one to let innocent people, no matter what side they fought on, suffer. Relenting he decided to humor the brown haired boy. "Where." "At the abandoned church a couple blocks from here." "Hn." Dammit he was starting to sound more and more like the emo bastards. Deciding his self pity could wait he and the brunette ran at top speed towards the church, he of course left issei behind and the boy didn't show up for several more minutes
Ignoring whatever the bumbling brown haired idiot had to say about bland bastards being fast he kicked the door to the church. What awaited him was over to dozen exiled priests and fallen angels, but before he could engage any one of them, which would have been a totally one sided assault whooping, two figures appeared beside him and issei. It was the white haired loli and the blond knight of the Gremory peerage. Wordlessly they fell in behind him as he went forward. Locking eyes with a fallen, he activated his sharingan. Putting the woman in an a-rank genjutsu she quickly turned and stabbed one of her comrades with a lance made of light, before anymore damage could be done by the controlled women a spear pierced her heart, courtesy of one of the male fallen that had quickly become headless due to kibas quick action.
Immediately pulling out a kunai he rushed the horde. Ducking an overextended spear thrust, he channeled wind chakra through the blade before swiping up taking the man's arm in less than half a second. In quick succession he slashed the man's neck. Raising the knife he blocked a sword swing from an exorcist, using the strength he had gained the rough years of rigorous training he pushed the woman back and disarmed her following it up he got her in the sternum stunning her before his knife plunged through her heart.turning around he shielded his face of an explosion that sent him into a wall.
Using the dust as a smoke screen he blitzed out, axe kicking the poor fallen close to him into the ground creating spider web cracks. Putting his wings to good use he flew to meet the next fall en head on exchanging few blows before defeating him. Sparing a glance towards the others direction he could see the knight and rook had finished their side as well though the pawn was nowhere to be seen. Regrouping with the others he asked the obvious question, "where's issei." Instead of responding the almost emotionless rook pointed to a stairwell they all sprinted to the stairs before descending to the dungeon. Hearing the sounds of battle they shared a look before speeding up. When they arrived they saw the brunette boy battling a fallen though there was a red gauntlet with a green gem on it covering his left hand. Finding an opening as exhaustion caught up with the woman he called out his attack " Dragon shot."
The fallen landed clearly injured she seemed desperate as she changed forms into Yuma Amano, the boy hesitated and the look of rage on his face faltered. She looked prepared to attack when a voice rung out through the clearing "I'd prefer if you didn't harm my cute little servants, raynare." The fallen angel widened her eyes now realizing it was helpless cry's of "buchou" "Rias-sama" and "Rias!" Wrong throughout the small cavern. Accompanying her was Akeno, " ara-ara, looks as though you've been missed." Her voice was mirthful and her eyes gleamed with amusement.
Walking up to the downed fall angel she out stretched her hand where an orb of red energy formed before blasting the fallen into nothing. Issei looked like he thought she would punish him. But then he seemed to remember Asia as he ran towards her, her nude form was crucified on a cross. Pulling her down and into his chest as he sobbed quietly. Walking to the pair the heiress put her hand on issei's shoulder and asked him to move sitting on her knees the woman pulled out a bishop before placing it on Asia's chest, not even a second later it sunk in a Rias chanted a quite incantation. The blonde girl woke looking exhausted but other wise fine. Issei sighed a breath of relief looking at the buxom beauty with a grateful expression. They all decided to return to their respective homes, it had been a long day everyone deserved a bit of rest.
