SORRY AND UPDATE SCHEDULE: I am in college and I am sure anyone who is in or has been to college will understand the stress that comes with it. Also, my father and I have both suspected it for a while, but I have been diagnosed with severe MDD, or Major Depressive Disorder. It was bad enough that my doctor wanted me hospitalized to make sure I don't kill myself while they work on helping me get better. It has been a struggle gather the will to do anything beyond sleeping, let alone writing. I am working on not completely losing the will to live, but the updates will come a lot slower, and I can't guarantee a set schedule. To everyone who has liked this, I am sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. I will try to do better, but…we all have our demons, and sometimes, even if we do try to face them, we don't have the strength to overcome them.

Comments: I tried to respond to all of you, but I am sure I missed quite a few, sorry, also for people who use the guest review, don't ask when I will update because it will be impossible to respond.

Chapter 4: Sparring

"Now, before we continue, we have a couple of guests joining us today. Since we are reading this, I have decided to let two people important to Naruto join us here today." Beast announced, as the shadows started to swirl around him, recreating the portals that brought them here. The two aforementioned people stepped through. One was a man that looked to be similar to Naruto in terms of physical appearance, while the other was a beautiful woman. (1). "Would you two please introduce yourselves?" Beast asked.

"Hello, my name is Uzumaki Kushina, mother of Naruto. Nice to meet you." The woman said, bowing slightly with a soft smile on her face that seemed to enhance her beauty.

"And my name is Namikaze Minato, I am Naruto's father. Nice to meet you as well." He said with a similarly soft smile on his face as well.

"They are here to offer information on their world and Naruto so that you no longer have need of me to be around. I have already showed them all that has happened so far, including your reactions to the book, so that everyone is caught up. I shall see you when it is time for a break in a few chapters." With that said, Beast sat back down in his shadowed corner and leaned against it to sleep, content to ignore the world.

"…Okay then. Well, it is nice to meet you as well," Sirzechs said with a slightly awkward grin and a sweat drop while staring at Beast, an action mirrored by most of the room. Shall we continue onward?" He asked, receiving nods from the others. He looked to his sister, so she could start on the chapter.

'Hmmmm, looks like the boy has something special about him.' Naruto thought when he eyed the Boosted Gear on Issei's arm. The spar was about to start, Naruto vs. Rias' entire peerage as per his request... he knew they weren't going to win. There was no arrogance in it, at his strongest form he could easily dodge the Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang cast at point blank range. Madara's attack that travelled at the speed of light itself, he was a master at combat and had saved the world many times over... at least 3 times. He had fought in war, and his powers were unrivalled. His chakra was ever growing, and he had a vast army at his disposal the second he wanted to call upon it.

"Buchou, I'm scared. Why did you make us do this?" Issei asked in his most pitiful voice. Rias only shook her head, though she admitted in her mind, what she did may not have been the best choice.

He could grant himself unlimited strength with but a technique, and his battle experience and abilities were in a league of their own.

"Unlimited strength!?" Azazel exclaimed, intrigued by how he can do this.

"Yes, it is called Boil Release: Unrivalled Strength. It burns the chakra in the body to boiling point and the more steam produced, the greater the strength and speed boost gained. The only limit is your chakra reserves, something my son doesn't need to worry about" Minato explained, no small amount of pride in his voice.

He could subdue an army of clones with Magnekyo Sharingan with but a glance and a few threatening words.

He had experience defeating enemies that could easily cut planets in half in ease with a single attack, and was able to withstand being hit point blank by that very attack and block it with a single hand moments later.

A quick image of this happening showed on the screen. Kushina instantly started whooping in joy, seeing how strong her son had become, while Minato had a small grin on his face. The others were watching with wide eyes and slight fear.

He could last days upon days of fighting without food, water, or rest. He could even do it while being assaulted with injury upon injury, which healed in only moments after he got the injury. His chakra recovery rate was outstanding, only taking a short amount of time for his body to recover any lost or stolen chakra.

Issei was actually crying by this point. The other members of the peerage, while not to the extent of Issei, were greatly worried about their other selves.

"Rias?" Rias looked to her older brother at his call, "You have made a terrible mistake," he said in a monotone voice while looking at her with dead eyes.

"I…think you are right" she responded with a slight quiver in her voice.

"He is definitely right," the mother of the monster they were reading about said in a lightly teasing tone. Rias only slumped and put her hands in her face, not wanting to look at anyone at the moment.

These children were not a match for him, not in the slightest.

"No, you are not." Azazel seemed to take amusement at Rias and her peerage's plight. The peerage, Rias included, seemed to wilt at that statement, despite knowing its truth. This only furthered his amusement, along with Kushina's and Minato's.

"Kick their ass old man!" Boruto called out with a large shit eating grin on his face.

Grayfia once more frowned at the use of such crass language from, in her eyes, a child, especially considering the adults seemed completely okay with it. Sirzechs, noticing this, shook his head, knowing his wife didn't appreciate things like that.

Hinata was just sitting with a small smile behind him, while Himawari built a new sandcastle with Hanabi. Everyone knew how the fight was going to end. They didn't doubt for a second that Naruto was going to win without having to so much as move from his spot if he didn't want to.

"I…do not doubt that statement. Not one bit" Michael muttered with a wry smile, shaking his head. Kushina looked to him with a wide grin and holding up a peace sign.

"What did you expect from my Naruto. He is the strongest ninja to exist" she stated with pride.

"The strongest?!" a few shouted.

"None stronger before or since so far" Minato responded, pride once more evident in his voice.

'I would be surprised that Hinata is okay with Boruto cursing... but then again... Naruto was no better.' Hanabi thought as she made the sand wet with some water, helping Himawari build it up into a wall.

"So he is the cause of their crude language," Grayfia stated, not liking someone from such standing acting in such a way.

"And what's wrong with my son's language, 'ttebane," Kushina said, looking a bit annoyed with the silverette.

"One of his station should act and speak in a more refined manner than he does. He won't set a good example for his people and his child if he acts in such a manner," Grayfia responded in a cool voice.

Kushina quickly stood up in an aggressive stance. "Why should he have to act-

"Kushina!" Minato called out, placing a hand on her arm. "No fighting, remember. We don't want to be taken away from here, do we?" Minato's calm voice seemed to calm his wife somewhat, however she continued to glare at Grayfia. "Lucifuge-san, how my son acts and speaks is up to him. He has done more than enough to earn that right, and I don't appreciate you looking down on him for it." Minato glanced at her with a cool gaze, showing neither anger or annoyance. Grayfia merely turned her head back to the screen, tactfully choosing to end the argument there.

"I plan to... come at me whenever you wish, and come at me with the intent to murder me, or you won't so much as pose a challenge." Naruto lectured the group in front of him, while Rias stood at the side lines to study Naruto and see how her peerage would fare against him. Her fastest member moved first, and Naruto watched Yuuto move in slow motion as he created a flaming sword out of nothing and rushed towards Naruto with it pulled back.

"Wait, why is it in slow motion?" Rias asked.

"It looks to be showing it from Naruto's perspective of time. He is much faster, after all. He needs to be able to react to the speed he travels at." Minato accurately guessed.

The boy had a darker look on his face than before, like he was taking Naruto's advice to heart.

"Uh, Kiba, what is with the look?" Issei asked, slightly creeped out by his 'friend'. Kiba just stared at the screen, not answering Issei. Issei only seemed to get more worried.

"Raaah!" Yuuto shouted, and while to some he appeared in front of Naruto in a second, to Naruto it took him awhile to get there. His flame covered sword ended up being caught mid swing as Naruto held the fire blade with his fingers, not even so much as bothered by the flames on it. Naruto gripped the blade, and cracks formed on it, before it shattered into pieces.

"Well, that didn't work" Gabriel said, looking at the screen, "He doesn't even have the slightest mark on his skin from that."

"Not the wisest move you could have made" Azazel muttered. Kiba looked annoyed at the remark, before schooling his face into the mask of a gentleman once more, conceding the point.

Lightning came at Naruto, but he waved his arm and surrounded himself with a shockwave of wind to negate the lightning.

"Wait, a shockwave of wind!? Not manipulating it, but a raw shockwave, and not even to from blocking attack, but using the shockwave to block the attack!? How fast is he!?" Rias shouted, surprised at his actions.

"I told you, my son holds the title for strongest shinobi in our world. There is little that can stand come close to him in power, let alone as his equal." Kushina seemed to gush pride as she spoke.

Yuuto already had a sword, and this one was made of ice... most likely having the power to freeze things. He spun around, and he didn't see it, but Naruto's skin started to gain a layer of steam about it.

"I…take it that is the technique mentioned earlier," Michael asked. Minato merely nodded his head.

The second Yuuto's blade touched Naruto, the entire thing evaporated in an instant, surprising the boy. Just because they had no chance to win, didn't mean that he wouldn't be taking them seriously.

"I am unsure how to how to feel about that about that," Rias stated, happy he took them seriously, yet scared for the same reason. The adults all chuckled at her statement.

It was Yuuto's bad luck that Naruto was immune to attacks that involved Fire, Ice, or Water by the largest degree.

"Any other immunities we should be aware of" Akeno asked, despite the fact it would do nothing for them.

"You'll just have to wait and see" was the response from a grinning Kushina.

"Boost!" A voice on Issei's arm called out, and Naruto raised an eyebrow at that call. That was a strange ability, but even in his distracted state he snapped the next blade Yuuto sent at him in half before it could be used to cut him. The small one, Koneko,

Said small one grumbled at being called such, much to the amusement of the others.

came at him from above with a straight punch aimed at his head. He glanced up at her for a second, before he grabbed her wrist and used her as a battering ram while smashing her body into Yuuto and sending the two of them flying into the sand.

Kiba and Koneko winced at that with Koneko shooting him an apologetic glance. Kiba waived it off, though if it was because he didn't blame her or because it never happened to this version of them was known only to him.

"Ara Ara Ufufufu, it looks like somebody is stronger than he looks." Akeno said as she flew in the sky above them. She was a long distance, ability spamming fighter it would seem. It was her that created the lightning that was sent at him earlier. Of course, he had seen her fingers crackling with power earlier. It was easy to guess what her ability was, but she didn't seem to be limited to using a single element. Water started to form at her hand, while Koneko and Yuuto collected themselves and got straightened out.

"Well, it looks like I am entering the fray" Akeno said with a smile that did not match the dark feeling coming off of her. Issei and Asia scooted away from her slightly.

Yuuto created a sword with a hole at the top of it, and Naruto raised an eyebrow at the strange design on it. He surged forward, and Akeno unleashed a torrent of water at him. His options, to his opponents, seemed to be either destroy the sword and get hit by the water, or stop the water and get hit by the sword. They were making attacks from two separate directions, Akeno had figured that lightning was useless against Naruto, so she switched to another element.

A useless element, steam came off of Naruto's skin and the water evaporated when it came in contact with him.

"To be fair, you should have noticed that when he melted the ice sword" Gabriel said in a careful tone, trying not to offend her. Akeno merely looked down to try to hide her embarrassment.

'Not just ice, but water too! That steam is super-heated to such high levels that it can instantly evaporate water and ice!' Yuuto thought as Naruto used his freshly enhanced strength to shatter his sword with a flick of his finger. The shockwave sent Yuuto back, but before he could go flying Koneko went behind him and pushed against his back, levelling him out.

"Ah, thank you for that, Koneko." Koneko merely replied with a small thumbs up.

"Boost!" Issei's gauntlet called out again, and Naruto could feel the energy inside of Issei double. Naruto raised an eyebrow, it had been 10 seconds since the last 'Boost' and his energy had doubled last time as well. It would look like the ability of the gauntlet was to double Issei's power every 10 seconds... sadly, that kind of ability wasn't without a major drawback. Naruto didn't know what that drawback was yet, but he had little doubt that it would become apparent to him.

Issei seemed to shrink in on himself at that comment, knowing he needed to work on his stamina, while Asia tried to cheer him up.

Even as he broke another of Yuuto's swords and grabbed Koneko's head, before pushing her to the ground and sending her pushing through the sand.

'Lightning and Water won't work... so Fire!' Akeno thought with a slight frown on her face as she sent a stream of flames towards him.

"Yes, because it worked so well when Kiba used his fire sword" Azazel said in a condescending manner, once more taking amusement from her reaction to the foolish action of her counterpart.

Naruto, being the Son Goku, Matatabi, Kokuo, and Kurama Jinchuriki was able to withstand flames of this level even in his base form. He had been able to take Fireball and Dragon Flame jutsus against his bare flesh even as a kid. Ninja naturally had a higher elemental resistance, elements that would kill a normal person took a LOT more to hurt them.

Flames of this level would not even hurt him.

"Well then, at what level would it work, then?" Asia asked.

"Ameterasu, flames so hot it burns other flames. Even then, it would only affect his base form and maybe his sage mode." Minato stated. Everyone except Kushina froze at that, not knowing how to react to that knowledge.

He just looked up at Akeno with a slight smile on his face, getting on her nerves more than a little. She stopped the flames and bit her lip, Water, Fire, and Lightning were all useless against the opponent in front of her. She didn't have anything left in her arsenal, she might be really strong and fast, but she was a Wizard type. She fought long distance, using Magic, as her prefered form of combat. She had solely trained herself in Magic, she wasn't a martial artist, so her speed, strength, and durability wasn't suited for this kind of battle against a person with more speed, power, and durability than her.

"Boost!" Issei's gauntless called out again, and like Naruto suspected, Issei's power doubled from it. With the first two boosts, Issei was over 8 times stronger than he was at the start of the battle, and with the next one he would be 16 times stronger... but it would seem that all that energy was being stored in the gauntlet. Unless Issei could release that energy, or transfer it to his attacks, it didn't mean as much... and he was visibly a little more tired than before.

His stamina, the more he used that Boost ability, the more drained his stamina became.

"Well, he figured you out quickly." Once more Asia had to cheer up the depressed Issei.

'This guy has no weaknesses in his guard, he is aware of what all of us are doing at all times.' Koneko thought as she started to run around Naruto, keeping a distance of 12 feet at all times. She was the slowest of the group, second slowest right in front of Issei... third slowest, with Asia and Issei being behind her, though Issei would become faster if he released the energy inside of him.

Both Asia and Issei slumped at that, apologizing for being so weak in pitiful tones.

Asia wasn't even trying to fight, which got a raised eyebrow from Naruto.

"But, I am a healer" Asia tried to defend herself, only for Minato to speak up.

"Most healers from our world were able to fight. The only ones that didn't have some level of combat skills were for civilian healers only. The best healer from our world was also our Fifth Hokage and an accomplished shinobi, being recognized as one of the physically strongest to exist.

Yuuto created another sword, two swords, and then a third sword that he held in his mouth. All the same basic design about them, Naruto was impressed that he had such a steady stance with them. The boy was well trained, he would give him that.

Kiba looked up at the praise, pride flowing into him at Naruto's words.

Naruto pointed his hand at Yuuto while Akeno charged up a much larger volume of lightning than before, if that level of lightning didn't work she would just make more of it, and make it more potent than before.

The swords that Yuuto had on him flew out of his grasp towards Naruto, who let two of them pass him and fly towards Koneko. When Akeno unleashed a bolt of lightning at him, Naruto magnetized the sword in his hand, before he threw it at the sand. Akeno's lightning changed direction without her say-so, and it struck the heavily magnetized sword.

"He can even control magnetism!?" Akeno shouted, disappointed he had a counter for everything she could throw at him.

"There, now lightning is useless." Naruto told her with a bored tone. The only elements that could really affect him, or rather that he lacked a perfect defense against, was Earth and Wind. Even then, he could crush Earth, and he was the strongest Wind user in his world. While he didn't have a real defense against Wind, there was no way that somebody was going to beat him at using it, thus meaning the only real element that stood a chance at injuring him was Earth.

"And he has the raw strength and durability that he doesn't really need a counter for maybe most Earth based techniques." Minato added, seeing at their hopeful looks at finally finding a weakness to exploit, again, not that it would do much.

"Boost!" Issei's gauntlet called out, and Naruto let him gather up his energy without bothering to go after the boy.

Instead, the boy would come to Naruto.

"Why would I-oh," said boy started to ask, only to see what happened on the screen.

"Come here." Naruto said as he pointed his hand at Issei, and between the magnetic forces at work and the metal scale arm that Issei had. The boy was forced off his feet and pulled towards Naruto, Issei was dragged by his arm, preventing him from attacking when Naruto caught his gauntlet fist.

"... Mercy?" Issei asked hopefully.

Issei looked on with the same hopeful expression, a look that was quickly wiped from his face at the next line Rias read.

"That isn't the face of mercy!" Boruto called out, knowing that Naruto's bored face was not a good one for his opponents. Naruto magnetized Issei's arm, and the swords in the area started to fly towards Issei at a high speed. Thankfully, they only knocked him off his feet by coming in contact with only his metal arm.

Yuuto made another sword, but it only went flying towards Issei.

"Well, that certainly poses a problem," Kiba muttered under his breath.

"Akeno, you can't use Lightning without hurting Issei... and Yuuto, you can't create anymore swords made of metal without risking injuring your comrade... what are you going to do?" Naruto asked them all with a raised eyebrow. Because of the Magnet Release, metal based attacks were useless against him... just like how sand based attacks were also useless against him... and acid based attacks... and a lot of attacks actually.

"Is there anything not useless against him!?" Issei shouted, rather annoyed at the, in his eyes, pointlessly over-powered blonde.

"Pure energy based attacks, I think." Kushina said in a wondering tone, a finger to her chin as she looked up in thought.

"That is dirty." Yuuto said to Naruto with a look of anger, his only swords that didn't need metal was a sword made of flames and a sword made of ice. His other swords were metal, though they had special abilities, and thus would be attracted to Issei.

"We are shinobi, we tend to be rather pragmatic in the battlefield. There isn't really a concept of dirty finding in our world." Minato said, looking at Kiba.

"I have to agree with them, using your opponent's power against them has always been a viable strategy since ancient times," Azazel stated, with the adults around the room nodding, Michael and Gabriel a bit more hesitantly.

"I got it!" Issei said as he made the gauntlet disappear, and the swords dropped to the ground. Ending the magnetized state his arm was in, and Naruto nodded. Issei had a pretty good idea... but he had undone all of the Boosting that he had been doing, bringing his power back down to what it had been. His stamina was still depleted though, even when he resummoned the Boosted Gear.

"Good job Issei." Rias called out from the side lines, a little proud of his idea... but still seeing the faults in it as well.

Issei slumped at that, Asia once more comforting him, while a few chuckled at his embarrassment.

One fault... Naruto pointed his hand at Issei again, and he was yanked towards Naruto with his gauntlet landing in his hand. Naruto magnetized it again, before he threw Issei aside.

"Oh, come ON!" Issei yelled, annoyed at having his Boosted Gear magnetized once more, while the chuckles got louder and increased in number.

"It was a good idea, but you see... your Boosted Gear is a crutch. 1000 x 0 is still 0 you know." Naruto reminded Issei of a fact. If Issei had no skill without the Boosted Gear, then anyone that could negate it or turn it into a weakness would instantly be able to defeat him. Naruto was a man of many skills, taking one away from him left him with a dozen more he could use. If he lost them all, he was a master at Taijutsu with extreme speed and power.

"He is completely right" Sirzechs states, hoping his words would cause his sister's servant to become stronger to protect her. "You need to expand your skillset rather than relying on a Sacred Gear you got by chance." His words were slightly harsh, considering Rias's glare and the way Issei shrank in on himself, but if it meant his sister was safer for it, he was willing to risk her anger at him. The boy would just need to find that motivation to get stronger.

Issei was forced to put away the gauntlet on his arm, returning it to normal.

'If Issei summons the Boosted Gear, then Naruto will magnetize it and make Issei the target for Akeno and Yuuto's ability... severely cutting down their battle power. Akeno's only hope to land a hit is Lightning, and Yuuto can't win without his blades... Koneko is the only one not hampered by that ability.' Rias thought with a gulp. Somebody that could negate the abilities of pretty much her entire peerage. Issei couldn't risk having his Boosted Gear magnetized over and over again, because it would make him the weakness of the group.

"Is there really nothing we can do?" Rias asked in a defeated tone, knowing she would lose, but not wanting to admit defeat just yet.

Koneko was standing behind Naruto, waiting for the moment to try and get at him. She was playing the waiting game at the moment.

'No... it isn't just Issei... I can't use metal swords against him period. Any metal sword can be taken from me, and those swords can be used to rob Akeno of her ability to strike him with lightning.' Yuuto thought with a grimance. Issei having his Sacred Gear out or not, he still couldn't use metal swords against Naruto. The man had a way around them, making them useless against him unless you caught him by surprise. Flames were already shown to be about as useful as throwing sand at him, and Ice or Water had zero affect.

"I…didn't think of that, dammit, the situation is even worse" Rias muttered, annoyance very clear in her tone.

'This isn't good, he has something that counters all of our abilities.' Even Akeno was thinking as she floated down to ground level. She had no more tactical advantage to being in the air, it was only slowly draining her of her physical stamina.

'This is a Checkmate.' Rias thought with some disappointment. Her peerage lost, there was no way that they would be able to win this one. The only person that had skills that weren't being negated was Koneko, and she was a pure hand to hand combat user. She wasn't fast, but she was strong and durable. She had shorter reach though, and by the time she got to him she would be been knocked away with ease.

This was like an embarassing game of chess, all of her pieces were being held back by a single king that had yet to take a step in any direction. Heck, Asia wasn't even a fighter, she was the healer of the group, so she couldn't be counted on for this.

Asia seemed to shrink in on herself, Minato's words from earlier still fresh in her mind.

Rias formed a ball of black flame-like energy in her hands, before she shot a surprise attack at Naruto to see if it would make any different. The ability of her family, the Power of Destruction.

The Power of Destruction was an ability linked to her genetics, one that granted her with explosive destructive power. Not the power to destroy anything, that was something that her brother and his massive amounts of power was normally able to do. She just had a large amount of destructive ability, but anyone stronger than he would be able to block or stop the attack. It wasn't a perfect one-hit ability, and she knew it, but it was the only chance that she could think of at the moment.

Rias looked up, a foolish look of hope on her face. The adults only shook their heads, knowing it wasn't going work, Minato and Kushina especially.

Naruto didn't even look at it, Naruto twitched his finger and a wall of sand popped up. The attack exploded when it came in contact with the sand, showing that it had weakened the sand defense, but not penetrated it.

Rias looked down once more, her confidence in her ability shot, seeing it didn't even break through a sand barrier.

'Chakra enhanced sand, able to deflect even the Amaterasu, a flame that burns through pretty much anything. Those looked like black flames, but these... no that wasn't a flame, it was a pretty powerful energy attack... anyway, it seems the Shukaku Jinchuriki ability is a very strong defense.' Naruto thought with a small smile on his face. He never once said that Rias wasn't allowed to join in on the fight after all.

Rias again looked up, not with any foolish hope, but a look of small gratitude at his thoughts, recognizing it as a small nod to her skill in strategy.

Koneko finally made her move and began to rush towards Naruto, but when she got to him he mule kicked her in the face and sent her flying, her nose bleeding by the time she landed in the sand.

"Koneko-chan, I got you!" Asia called out as she ran over to the girl and her hands glowed green, before she healed the injuries of the younger woman. Naruto raised an eyebrow, he was right, that girl wasn't a fighter, she was the group medic.

"My earlier point still stands. What happens if someone were to try and attack you? You need to at least be able to defend yourself. A dead medic is as useful as no medic at all." Minato's words were harsh, but no less true. Asia looked down, her mind at war with itself over keeping her peaceful values or learning to fight and being able to heal her friends rather than die unable to do anything for them.

"This is starting to get boring." Boruto said with his tone growing more and more dull. He had thought that these people would have more than one or two abilities each. They weren't even abilities that could be used more ways than one. Issei increased his own power, Yuuto summoned swords, Akeno shot various elements but she did them in a straight line, and Koneko was a martial artist... kind of. That Asia girl was a strict healer, and even the leader of the group seemed to be a one trick pony.

The entire peerage deflated at hearing Boruto's thought. Sirzechs looked at his sister in sympathy, but he agreed with the blonde boy's words. She needed to expand her skillset if she wanted to be safe in this world.

"Boruto, that is rude, I am sure they are trying their hardest." Hinata said with a motherly tone. She didn't encourage it when people looked down on others, what Naruto was doing now wasn't looking down... it was teaching a lesson and knowing his own strength well enough to know who could and could not challenge him.

Sirzechs appreciated Hinata's words. Hey, just because he agreed with Boruto didn't mean he enjoyed seeing his sister like this. The peerage seemed to perk up some at the words of ther boy's mother.

These children, when you were 31 years old and your opponents ranged between 15 and 17 years old, they were considered children by even her standards... anyway, all of the odds were stacked in Naruto's favor, and while he was the type to hold back, he was always serious when he fought.

Serious and going for kill were very different things.

That seemed to cheer up the peerage even more, seeing as they were no longer moping and were once more listening intently or, in Rias's case, reading in a more normal tone of voice.

"Is it over yet? Dad, come make a sand castle with Aunt Hanabi and me!" Himawari called out to her father, while Naruto thought about it for a moment.

"Sorry sweetie, Daddy has to win first. Then I can play with you." Naruto said with a bright smile on his face.

A few of the girls aww'ed at that, once more seeing the loving father under the powerful warrior.

"Aaaaaah!" Issei yelled as he started to run towards Naruto. Naruto was slightly surprised the boy had the guts to try and fight him without the Boosted Gear... but the end result was Naruto grabbing the boy's face and keeping him at a distance. It was almost comical, Issei throwing punches and Naruto just using his face to hold him at arm's length distance. Issei landed a few more seconds of wildly throwing punches and kicks, before he began to wore himself out.

Most of the people laughed as Issei shrunk in on himself , however, the battle hardened adults felt something was off, as if there was more to the situation.

"What was that supposed to do?" Naruto asked Issei, who grinned.

"Surprise attack." Issei said as Yuuto appeared behind Naruto with a sword, and Akeno was already shooting lightning at him. Naruto simply reached back and touched the sword, before the lightning changed direction and flew towards Yuuto. The boy threw the sword at the sand in front of Naruto, and he saw that the lightning was coming at him again. Yuuto threw the sword in a way that Naruto was standing between the sword and the lightning.

Issei perked up, knowing he did something like that to set up the surprise attack, while the adults nodded, recognizing the need for such a strategy.

Not good enough, like earlier, Naruto swing his arm and used the wind as his ally to reflect back the lightning so that it went around his body and struck the sword.

"Looks like even still, it wasn't enough," Rias sighed.

"Good job, you attempted to use my abilities against me... but it doesn't work so well. You see, earlier I could have either completely negated the Lightning with Wind or ended the sword's magnetization. I could have brought the sword to him and threw it at the lightning... your plan completely relied on me being surprised and not reacting in time, or not noticing your plan." Naruto explained to them where they went wrong. He let go of Issei and looked towards Rias, who was gripping one of her arms when she realized that winning was impossible.

Impossible, as in they didn't even have the slimmest of hopes.

Rias sighed again, however, she took his advice to heart, learning what she could so she wouldn't make similar mistakes again.

He had abilities that cancelled out all of their abilities, or at the very least could force them to stop using what abilities they had.

"This really is checkmate... I surrender. You win." Rias admitted with grit teeth, like everyone, she hated to lose... and she was humiliated by this as well. Her peerage was defeated by one man, who didn't even seem to have to try hard to defeat them. It was a very... annoying experience to understand what it was like to lose.

"Okay then, Daddy's coming Himawari." Naruto said as he walked away from the battlefield and went right towards helping his daughter."

"And he goes straight to his daughter, as if our defeat was nothing." Akeno muttered.

The outcome was to be expected.

"Well, who wants to read next," Rias asked, still upset over her loss.

"I will!' Kushina shouted, excited at the chance to read about her baby boy(2)."Chapter Five…"

Well, another chapter done. Remember to read my A/N at the top for information on why I took so long for this chapter and why I won't be doing a set update schedule. I am glad people are still favoriting and following my work despite not updating for over a year, especially since I am the type who ignores a story not completed that hasn't been updated in a year, maybe I should stop, hehe. Still, thank you, I know this has been a long time coming and I am working on getting better so that I can get more chapters out to you guys. It was all of you who, by following, favoriting, and asking for an update, let me know that I actually have some worth to this screwed up world. So, I will keep on fighting, for all of you.
