Yo

So I thought I'd give this crossover a try where I inject Naruto as a character in the High school DxD world. My story will strive to be entertaining and original. For those that are not immediately hooked onto this story from the first chapter I apologize but I promise you will be in the later chapters. I like to ease in Naruto's abilities and the plot so it can be a nice surprise. Trust me though when I say it will be a fun read. Anyways I'll go write into it. Please let me know about your thoughts in reviews or PMs.

Near the outskirts of the Kyoto, the visage of a man could be seen standing outside a cave as rain poured from above, drenching him. Despite this, the man appeared unfazed, in a trance-like state, as the water stuck to skin. His head was tilted up water streamed down his form.

He stood stock still at an impressive 6'2", bearing a lithe, yet Spartan-like build. His silvery, blonde hair was matted down his face, covering his eyes to anyone who might catch a glimpse of him at that moment. While his eyes remained hidden, his remaining face was handsome and unmarred.

Slowly, the man's eyes opened and settled in a lazy drawl as he regarded the weather. It is only then with a second glance that a diagonal scar running through his right eye could be seen, adding a roguish feature to his appearance.

This rain was natural, an interesting contrast given he could make it rain anytime he wanted as a result of acquiring a very special sacred gear. Too bad it was at the cost of his anonymity.

It was truly unfortunate, he mused, that so much trouble had be caused over on lousy sacred gear, even if it was a longinus. But the pros still vastly outweigh the cons of this recent dealing.

The rain cleared, and his body was freed of the trance-like state, as he checked his surroundings. He looked back up toward the disappearing clouds and into the endless blue once more. His left eye mirrored the beauty of the sky while his right eye bared a bloody contrast. Yes, he thought, just as this rain was indeed a natural force, in a way so was he. His name was Naruto. A name his mother gave him. A name that embodied him. He was part of nature, just like this rain, except in the form of a natural disaster.

The perfect personification of a wretched namesake given to him in spite and hate. An identification to the monster his circumstance made him turn into. A worthy title to someone who has no purpose other than to wash away everything. He shook himself of any excess water and began his trek back into the cave, sinking into the shadows the crevice made until he became one with them.

It was always like this.

With his arrival there will be rain. Whether he willed it now or not, it was almost like his friend. A distant cousin, if anything to a being he had finally ascended to. After mastering Zenith Tempest, the rain could accompany him anywhere and at anytime. Nothing was more rejuvenating and cleansing. It was almost freeing. Almost. Most importantly though it was the phenomenon that purified the world, even when in the bloodiest times its stained.

It may be a while longer before the chaos from the kidnapping and subsequent murder of Dulio Gesualdo dies down. Before any further plans can be made he supposed he can continue to lay low. This new place looked promising. He did love nature and despite being so close to civilization it was perfect to hide.

After all, who would think a being like him was hiding in the heart of youkai territory?

"Ok! Excellent, there it is again. This time for sure I will find the intruder and show mother and all those geezers I am worthy of being her successor!"

A little girl seemingly no older than seven sprinted out of the mansion that was her home, in the direction of the clouds that began to gather in a clump not so far in the distance. Her golden long hair caught the wind as she jumped over the fence surrounding her home.

Weaving past various guards and attendants, the girl gave a fox-like grin at escaping before she entered the forest. Her matching tails and fox-like ears twitched in happiness. It was time for her to be recognized for her talents. Her mother was an amazing person, and she needed to be as well to in order to be worthy of her. Her natural intelligence came to this conclusion upon discovering the importance of her mother's position in Kyoto and its effect on the world.

While risky, finding out the identity of this mystery intruder who might be responsible for the disappearance of a few locals is just the kind of way she can show her commitment to contribute to order and leadership.

Despite her age she was powerful enough to be confident in herself. After all, she was the daughter of the Kyuubi of Kyoto.

Stopping near the edge of a ravine, the girl's golden eyes peered down in wonder at the figure of a man lying on a boulder, looking up in the sky. He seems to have not noticed her yet as his body is not tensed but relaxed as he puffs away on a cigarette. The girl couldn't help but take notice of a feeling for weariness in the area, as if she was innate danger. Looking around she scanned her surroundings. Usually when a predator entered an area the sound of the forest would deafen but nature was still vibrant, giving no indication for a need to worry.

It seems whatever caused this disturbance is gone then and this person is just nobody. Inwardly the girl sighed in defeat as she turned her back to return home only to suddenly catch something in the periphery of her vision. Turning around she looks back on the boulder only to see the boulder's previous occupant missing.

"Wha? Where did he go?" Her question was answered as a hand rested on the top of her head. "No way, you?!"

Realizing he was behind her, she quickly turned simultaneously preparing to have to defend herself. When her eyes met his, though, she froze.

Heterochromatic eyes stared back at her in a lazy drawl. His left eye, a cyan blue, his right, a bloody red. She found it impossible to read him as his eyes were so distracting. Not because of their color but what she saw in them. Each eye held similar but completely different stories. Like his very soul is locked in a schism. And yet the chaos one might imagine from such a deadlock was not visible to her.

He seemed eerily calm. It scared and strangely excited her.

There is something so… primal about him. I can't stop from staring.

For what might have seemed like hours, the two stared at each other, the girl frozen as she contemplated the mystery that was before her and the man, on his haunches level with the girl, his hand gently holding her in place.

Finally as if seeing something that satisfied him the man slowly stood up while walking to a nearby tree and sitting down, his back lying against the bark, head tilted to the side as he closed his eyes.

The moment her view of his eyes was disconnected her trance-like state was broken and the emotions she felt during her spell began to translate into action. With courage beyond her years, she approached the man, who her senses began to scream was the predator she sensed earlier. Like a mouse wandering into a snake hole, her instincts told her to run as far as should could. She was not a mere mouse though but a fox and if this man was indeed a snake then she would fight.

Stopping in front of the man, she cautiously reached out and poked him on the forehead. His eyes slowly opened, peering at her in curiosity. This time though the effect of his eyes were a lot less than her first experience. With her mission accomplished in getting his attention, she cleared her throat before speaking, mentally assuring herself he would not harm her.

"Hey mister. My name is –

"Do you think you will go well with rice, potatoes or noodles?"

His abrupt interruption to her introduction grinded any thoughts of a peaceful conversation to a halt. Did he just imply that he will eat me?

"Excuse me?!

"You see those are my favorite carbohydrates and normally I can choose a complement to go along with my meat but for the life of me I can't seem to deduce which one would go better with fox."

Oh dear. She began to back up from him only to stop herself when she saw his face. There was a smirk adorning his handsome features and if in a different scenario this might have been the birth of a crush. Tossing away her idle thoughts her analysis of his character was the only way to help her now. It was how she was able to get away with so much back at home. She was gifted with empathetic powers at birth, which prove invaluable when dealing with other people. In this whereas before his eyes threw her off now she can really look at him.

Smiling to herself she once again stepped forward, making the sitting man raise a brow in interest.

"Hmph, well if I had to choose a worthy starch for someone such as myself it would have to be neither of those options. You obviously have quite a limited palette stranger because anyone who has eaten fox knows wrapping up the meat in bread is the best."

Her answer was, in her mind the most irrational but given that she had no other options other than being the wild card, she gambled.

The man seemed to genuinely consider her answer before a lop-sided grin cracked on his face. "You know, I like to think of myself as a food connoisseur little lady, and I have never heard of that. You aren't yanking my chain are you?" he asked in a bored tone but it had an undertone to it she could not recognize. Deciding to play this game to the end she began to grin herself.

"Hahahaha you amuse me stranger! Anyone around here can tell you I'm correct. Besides don't you know fox is best when aged? Our species is like fine wine in that regard. So since I've taken a liking to you how about we exchange names and see each other again in a decade from now, give or take a few years?" The girl's smile was firmly plastering on her face but the bead of sweat running down her neck indicated otherwise. Please work, please work, please work!

The silver-blonde haired man contemplated her answer before coming to a conclusion as he looked back at her. Cracking another smile his face darkened before the girl felt the weight of the world crashing down on her. It was only a moment, but in that second or two, not only was she instantly on her knees paralyzed in fear, but he was inches away from her. Fear came in a tidal wave as she realized her curiosity cost her life to this madman. To think she dreamed of proving herself as a future successor to the Leyline, but now her story will be cut short as a meal for a psycho? Closing her eyes she waited for the end.

Any thoughts she had of a premature demise was cut short though when the man began to chuckle, then laugh openly in her face. Blushing, she pointed her finger at him.

"W-what's so funny you crazy cannibal?"

His laughter died down slowly as he looked at the girl who had entertained him for a while. "What's funny kid is how naïve and amusing you are."

"Y-you mean you're not going to eat me?" she asked in trepidation.

"Hahaha of course not idiot. Seriously who eats people these days? Not me. Besides if I really wanted to I'd probably wait till you're older like you said. Foxes do age well I've heard hehe."

Just like that the fear that gripped her was released and replaced with fiery indignation. "How dare you mess with me like that! Don't you know who I am?!" Her response garnered another curious glance from the man.

"Hmm and who are you then brat?"

"Isn't it polite manners to introduce yourself before asking it of others?"

A light smile graced the man's face as his interest for this girl grew. "Cheeky little brat aren't you? Okay my name is Naruto. Now what is your name chibi?"

Huffing at the nickname she puffed her chest out and looked directly at him. It's Kunou. My name is Kunou and one day I will be the Kyuubi who rules all the youkai! Remember it Naruto!" Her declaration was bold yet incredibly naïve. Despite her ignorance and idealistic thinking her face showed true confidence. Naruto briefly entertained the idea of scaring her again but thought against it. I'm feeling particularly whimsical today aren't I? Normally I'd never approach someone but then again this little girl managed to find my signature despite how well I hid it. No one has done that so far in this territory. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Time to disappear now.

Drifting out of his thoughts he eyed Kunou before turning around "Well that's interesting. Well it was nice meeting you Kunou. Thanks for the laughs. I'll see ya around." He began to walk away only to stop when he felt a tugging on his pants. Looking down Kunou stood in a cute pout as she seemed angry about something. "Hmm? Kid can't you see I got places to be? Shoo." He motioned her away with his hand, which only seemed to anger her more as her face flushed.

"You must really think I'm a idiot if you thought I could be fooled by misdirection Naruto! I'm pretty sure you already know why I came, but I'll ask you anyways. Are you the cause for the fluctuations in energy around the vicinity recently?"

"Jesus brat how old are you? Are you a midget adult or something because that is quite the colorful vocabulary."

"Old enough to make keeping the peace in my home a priority!" She spoke with such finality the blonde couldn't help but admire her resolution. Sigh… Just this once. What the hell.

"Well well it seems I was indeed wrong about you Kunou." Her eyes seemed to brighten as he finally used her name. "Though you are still a brat." And just like that she grit her teeth in fury.

This guy is insufferable!

As if sensing her breaking point Naruto grabbed her by the hand and led her to the boulder he lay on when she first saw him. Laying down he looked up at her. "I suppose I could deal with you a little more seriously though. To answer your question it was indeed I you were sensing this whole time making those energy fluctuations."

A gleam entered Kunou's eye as if she just solved a great puzzle. "So then the weather changes congruent to the energy fluctuations must also be you right?"

"Got it in one missy" He answered with a smile.

"Wait, wait why are you being so forthcoming with this information?" The fox could not shake off the suspicion of how convenient this interrogation has been so far. Was he just playing her or did he not really care about the consequences of her knowing this information?

He seemed to contemplate an appropriate answer being just shrugging and continuing to look at the sky, making her face vault at his lackadaisical attitude. Suddenly his eyes opened as he tilted his head to a certain direction before sighing. "God damn it. Hey brat," he started before closing his eyes. "You should go home now. It looks like it may rain…"

Her response was only to stare at him in confusion before her senses went haywire. Look around she noticed it was dusk, but more importantly there was not a single sound in the forest.

"Hmm I didn't think I'd be found out so soon. You must be pretty good then right? It'll be fun killing you. That girl will be icing on the cake."

Spinning around Kunou gazed at a shadowy figure just in edge of the clearing. The figure was massive and the only clear thing she noticed were his eyes. They promised pain and death. It was true evil. Surprisingly the feelings running through her now was tame compared to when Naruto scared her. Did that mean he might be stronger than this man? She can only hope as it was her only chance at survival.

Naruto seemed to disappear from the top of the boulder only to reappear standing in front of the fox-child, with his hands in his pockets. "So much noise today. Jeez can a guy get some peace and quite?"

The figure responded by stepping into the clearing and revealing himself to be a deformed devil. "There will be plenty of peace and quiet in my stomach fool. Just like the others I've killed so far. Now die!" the devil ran at full speed towards them, mouth drooling in expectation of his next meal.

The stray devil was surprised to find that instead of fear, the man only smirked before raising one arm. "Begone." And just like that the devil was bisected by a wind sword, before being continually sliced through. Over and over Naruto sliced the devil into nothing but pieces, his eyes showing nothing but apathy for the carnage.

Kunou on the other hand stared hard as Naruto literally decimated this threat. That devil was the reason for the disappearances. He must have been pretty powerful in that regard. How strong is Naruto that he destroyed him so quickly? And this lack of feeling while doing it… What is he?

After a few more seconds, the wind blades died out leaving a pile of bloody chunks that used to be the stray. Lowering his hand Naruto tilted his head to Kunou expecting to see the girl hyperventilating and terrified. He wouldn't normally have been so violent in killing this stray but he was hoping this sends the girl running to the hills, but to his chagrin this girl seems to have a knack for surprising him.

"Naruto that was amazing! What an awesome attack! Hey I've got an idea. Can you be my sensei?!" She jumped in excitement as Naruto began to sweat drop.

"Kid. You are officially weirder than any little brat I've met before. Congratulations."

"Does that mean you'll be my sensei?"

"No…"

"Wait why?"

"Because I don't feel like it."

"Oh come on what do you have to do other play with clouds all day anyway? You'll be training the future Kyuubi and leader to the yuukai you know? This is an honor." At this point she closed her eyes and puffed her chest up, nodding to herself.

Naruto simply stared at the fox-child in a blank stare before sighing. "If you're so smart don't you know how ridiculous to trust a stranger to train you? Besides I bet anyone at your home can teach you right? Why me?"

"Because you're really strong! Not only that but you don't seem like a bad person, not to mention you're not bad looking either!" Despite how embarrassing that sentence might have been to a normal person, Kunou kept a straight face with only a light blush adorning her.

Naruto couldn't help but grin as he answered her. "Well you definitely win points for originality girl. I can tell you would be interesting to have around, but I'm still leaving. It was fun while it lasted but honestly you don't want someone like me hanging around you for long." Walking away, Naruto once again felt a tug on his shirt. Groaning he turned around only to see a completely different girl, with her eyes fixed at her feet.

"Naruto wait… the truth is no one has ever interacted with me like this before. I'm considered a freak by all my peers. I can't help that I'm different from others and no one seems to want to be my friend because of it either. I want to be acknowledged by everyone and to do that I decided I must become strong."

Kunou's eyes became fierce as she stared dead set on Naruto's, making his hackles rise in attention.

"I will become so strong that they will accept me but most importantly I will get strong so I can surpass my mother and protect her too."

Naruto never stopped looking at her as she told her story. His eyes lacked their lazy drawl, being replaced with a more focused gaze as his mind processed this heart felt request.

"You're right I could get a trainer at home but no one is willing to really teach me yet because I'm too young. Please consider it." Kunou bowed as she closed her eyes and waited for an answer.

"Mom… One day… I'll be strong. So strong that no one can oppose me. I'll surpass everyone, even you, so I can protect my precious people. Especially you…"

Naruto eyes narrowed as he turned around and began to walk away while lighting another cigarette. Hearing his footsteps Kunou thought the worst as she bit her lip in frustration and sadness. Right before she was about to run back home to avoid showing her pathetic state anymore a voice stopped her.

"Just… follow the energy fluctuations I make when you next feel them to find me and maybe I'll teach you a thing or two. I'm not your master or anything like that though understood?"

Kunou's smile could not have been bigger as her eyes sparkled at her success. "Yes! I'll do just that. I'll be going now sensei. I'll prepare for tomorrow!" the girl gave one more wave before running back into the forest and out of sight.

"Yeah yeah. Whatever" Naruto turned his back only to gaze at the sky as it began to blacken. Yes… right on time.

As a beginnings of a downpour appeared Naruto took one last drag of his cigarette before he began to sink into the earth as shadows swallowed his body. "So… there are still fools like that around huh? I'll play around with you for now girlie, you may come handy after all, but you have no idea just who you're dealing with. I look forward to seeing you eventually realize just how futile and damning that goal of yours is.

Glowing heterochromatic eyes glared at nothing before he was fully immersed into the shadows as if he was never there.
