Chapter 1: Memories and Return

"Ophis, my dear and old friend, I am sorry. But I can't help you with the issue you're having with Great Red." Came the sad and sincere voice from a floating figure within a sea of endless black.
Asura Otsutsuki was a 39 year old Celestial Being-Human hybrid male who had short, spiky brown hair with two locks of it wrapped in bandages framing either side of his face. He possessed stern facial features with a pronounced jaw-line and short goatee. He wore bandages around his forehead, along with a light-coloured kimono with magatama adorned around the collar, sleeve cuffs, and the rim of his robe. The kimono was held closed by a dark-coloured sash. Underneath, he wore a black full-body suit.
Under the man's folded legs were nine pitch black spheres known as Truth-Seeking Balls in a ring formation. The incredibly destructive objects in a safe standby mode were being used to levitate the Son of the Sage Of The Six Paths. The objects in question being capable of turning anything, be it energy or physical matter, into nothingness. Even destroying the Soul of the person too. With the only weaknesses to the powerful balls being Senjutsu and the enhanced Six Paths Senjutsu.

The other person floating in a comfortable fashion within the abyss along with the male looked to the crook of Asura's neck to hide her displeasure, but soon her eyes glare back into the black eyes of the male.
Ophis was a Human-shaped Dragon who looked like a young girl with long black hair down to her hips and grey/black eyes. Her ears differ from a normal Human's as they had pointed tips, although her long black hair made the feature difficult to notice. Her outfit was that of a Gothic Lolita with short white bottoms, a long-sleeved black top, and with pink and purple ribbons. Her attire featured an exposed chest with black x-shaped coverings over her nipples.
"Why can't you help me reclaim my home and silence?" She calmly asked of her dear and worthwhile companion, the one person who she could say was a near equal to her in raw power; excluding his usage of Truth-Seeking Balls and Asura Mode, and her going all out.

"As much as I would love to help you regain your home, I can't come with you to sort it out. My Brother, Indra, has been sighted moving towards the Land of Ancestors. Fully intent on destroying Ninshu and myself with his more weaponised variant known as Ninjutsu." Asura confessed with a heavy sigh as he ran his hand through his hair. Still heartbroken that his older Brother had taken the route of darkness, all because of the choice their Father made decades ago to anoint Asura to be the successor due to his belief that love and understanding was the key to peace, not power and force like Indra believed.
Asura's sigh was also heavy due to the fact that his Father passed away a few years ago too, something that still played on his mind. However he was extraordinarily tired for another and more serious reason.

Frowning for a moment, Ophis continued to look at Asura as a flicker of emotion blurred in her normally monotone eyes. "I, could kill Indra for you?" She inquired as a negative feeling built within her stomach, a horrible thought of Asura dying screamed through her mind for a moment before she casted it aside. But the thought didn't go away, she felt the urge to tear through the barrier between Earth and Gaia, all to protect Asura.

Shaking his head at the suggestion, Asura smiled at his dear friend before he answered the genderless Dragon in the form of a young girl. "No. It's my problem, plus I want to try and save my Brother. While he maybe my enemy, I love and respect him. I want to end the feud with him; return him to Father's philosophy and teachings. To help him understand that you can accept love and people's help to bring about a peaceful future. Not the force of power to maintain order and rebuffing help from others." He expressed firmly and with conviction. However hiding the truth, since he knew that Indra had perfected an ability that Asura too had now managed to finalise. But also he didn't want Ophis to be caught in the crossfire, as he cared greatly for the Dragon.

Momentarily looking away from Asura's eyes to gaze at his chest, Ophis turned her eyes back to the man's ocular orbs. The Human Dragon's core filled with curiosity and worry for a moment before pushing away the strange emotions. While Asura was helping her understand and portray emotions, the emotionless being born from the Dimensional Gap still struggled and found them uncomfortable at times. "Why would you go so far for someone who hates you?" She asked quietly as her eyes glare into the tender and warm eyes of her near equal.

"Because he is my Brother, my friend, my precious person. Ophis, when you have someone precious to you, you would do anything for them. You are precious to me, Ophis. And I must be precious to you too, since you even offered to destroy my Brother." The Son of the Sage Of The Six Paths said sagely before ending with a gentle smile and chuckle, since he had picked up on the sharpness of Ophis' words from earlier.

The Ouroboros Dragon, Ophis, looked away for a moment into the abyss, a warm sensation tickling her cheeks as they redden for a moment. A strange sensation of embarrassment and happiness made her strangely high and euphoric before she relaxed and returned her straight gaze to Asura, cocking her head to the side in an adorable manner. "Precious people… hm. Someone who you would take on the world for? Someone who you love and would protect?" She questioned knowingly, as she had heard Asura speak about that once or twice.

Asura nodded with a big grin. "Yes. I fight to protect the people who I have befriended, you, and my still growing family." He explained as he used his 'Creation Of All Things Technique' to create a cup of Green Tea in front of him, whilst creating a cup of Sweet Tea for Ophis, knowing that the Dragon God loved sweet things.

"Thank you." The Human-shaped Dragon praised as she drunk the tea down, enjoying the sweetness of it as it filled her core with warmth. "Speaking of which; how is your family? Didn't you tell me your Wife was pregnant with another child?" Ophis quizzed, recalling that from their previous conversation a week ago.

"Ah yes, Kanna gave birth not long after we last spoke. We had our tenth child, a daughter this time." Asura explained with a laugh as he recalled how his hand was nearly broken once again through the actions of his Wife, missing the attempted dumbfounded expression on Ophis' face upon hearing that.

Shaking her head at the announcement and returning to her emotionless grace, Ophis carried on with the tête-à-tête by asking the obvious question. "What did you name the child, Asura?" She queried as she took another sip of her Sweet Tea. What her dear companion said next surprised her.

"Ophis Uzumaki Otsutsuki." He replied with a beaming grin before he looked away for a moment with a sheepish expression. "We named her after you, my best friend and companion."

Touched at the fact that her name was used for her friend's newest offspring, Ophis smiled as happiness danced in her eyes that Asura would do such a thing. She looked down for a moment at her cup of Tea in contemplation before returning her impassive eyes and expressionless face to her grinning friend. A brief thought of an offspring from her own body plagued her musings for a second. "Thank you, I am surprised. Naturally. She'll be very powerful, I can tell. But your names are strange; your first and fourth offspring's are called Senju Mokuzai Otsutsuki and Sokudo Namikaze Otsutsuki respectively. But from what you've told me, those two inherited your powers more so than your other children? Does Ophis Otsutsuki follow those two as well?" She investigated, since the Ouroboros Dragon remembered Asura mention that Senju inherited Hagoromo's and Asura's 'body', granting him a powerful Life Force and Chakra well, a fast recovery time, and inherited Wood Release. Whilst Sokudo gained an intense affinity to Wind and Lightning, a bizarrely high natural speed that blew everyone away with his dubbed Swift Release, a larger than average Life Force, a more attuned brain, and sharp eyes.

"Well Ophis Uzumaki Otsutsuki hasn't got Shape-Shifting like you do. However we know that she's incredibly powerful, and even has abilities we've never seen." Asura informed her, because he knew Ophis had the appearance of an old man on Earth due to her changeling nature. "She also has the 'body', and an even more powerful Life Force and Chakra reservoir than Senju. We've also discovered that she ages slower, can recover from exhaustion with much greater efficiency in short periods of time than nearly everyone, can quickly heal herself, has a unique Sensory Ability along with a Suppression Ability to make herself invisible, and can make Adamantine Chains. But also she's taken after my own Dad in one regard from what we can tell, her special Chakra." The Otsutsuki elaborated with faint awe, however his voice was mostly laced with concern, something that's more noticeable towards the end of his speech.

Frowning for a moment, Ophis quickly came to the realisation behind Asura's final words. "Jinchuriki. Her body can contain a Tailed Beast, like the ones Hagoromo Otsutsuki created upon Sealing the Juubi away." She answered in the form of a statement. Of course she knew the story of Hagoromo's battle with the Juubi, having heard it from the man himself when he visited on the rare occasion prior to his death. After all, it's not every day you hear of someone battling a being of that calibre for days on end, defeating it, stripping it of all its power to create a new series of Tailed Beasts, and then Sealing the husk of the Juubi in the sky and wrapping its body in the newly formed Moon that now orbited Gaia.

Asura nodded solemnly, as that was one ability he wished wasn't passed over. Since part of him feared that the Tailed Beasts would be used as weapons of war, and in a manner like that of his Father in which the Chakra Entity was Sealed into a person so they can be used to destroy countless innocents by using the Tailed Beast's power. "I feel like a failure, as much as I've tried to spread Ninshu and its Chakra to connect people's spiritual energy so that they would understand one another without even talking… I think that people are slowly using and perverting it into Ninjutsu like my Brother." He vocalised with a depressed tone as he looked downwards, ashamed that he wasn't able to do more to stop it.

"You can't help people, Asura. You can only do so much, but most people are imbeciles who only think for themselves. You are an exception to the army of idiots, with your own pure heart and Soul. You even broke through the barrier between your world and mine to try and spread the understanding of peace and love over power and force." Ophis stated bluntly and with honesty as she scrutinised her dear friend. Having recalled that many years ago, Asura used his Asura Mode to accidently break through reality, ending up on Earth confused, until Ophis appeared before him. And in true fashion, Asura tried to unite Earth using the same philosophies as Ninshu, just broadening the differences with abilities. Heck, he created Swords that had been dubbed as Holy, and another system known as the Sacred Gear System during his stay.
The Infinite Dragon God then noticed the exhausted state of her friend. "Are you still tired after dealing with the problem on Earth, and faking your death?" She probed indifferently, but in truth she was worried.

Asura Otsutsuki sighed tiredly and looked back to Ophis with a nod. "Yes, but I don't think the thousands of Seals I used on the extremely powerful being will hold it forever. At best I made a short term solution, but that alone was extremely taxing on my body. While my body and powers may exceed that of my Father's in some areas, I didn't have the power to Seal the beast away forever. I even tried to reason with it… but." He explained with a despondent tone, not speaking about how guilty he was about having to fake his death. But he couldn't keep an eye on two worlds anymore, due to the threat of his Brother, but also his responsibilities as a Father to his own children.

Ophis nodded. Although she didn't have to worry about the threat of 666 for a while, she would need to address it eventually. However, Asura's views of uniting people for a common goal rung in her mind, maybe she could use that practice in her own way to deal with Great Red, and then later 666? She'd have to think more on that later.
She was then startled by an unfamiliar action from Asura, as she felt his arms wrap around her in a comforting and warm embrace. She looked at the taller male in confusion before poking him. "What are you doing?" The Dragon God requested awkwardly, as a warm sensation built up in her chest and on her face.

"I'm hugging you, Ophis. You are my best, and my most loyal friend. You've been there for me in my depression, in my times of need. I know you find it tricky to interact with people for prolonged periods, but I am thankful that you try your best in the unfamiliar situation. I've enjoyed our meetings and chats, you have been a brilliant companion to me. I'm glad you're my friend, and I shall always be your friend." He confessed to her strongly as he continued to hold her in the hug. Asura then felt Ophis unsurely hug him in return. He smiled at her trying to break through the countless years of emotionless solitude, just to hug him back.

"You are my first friend, Asura." The Infinite Dragon God admitted wholeheartedly in return as the two floated in the embraced position for a long while. Eventually the hug ended as Asura pulled back from her, unwrapping his arms in the process.

"I must go now, Ophis." Asura said as he began using his Six Paths Sage Mode/Asura Mode powers to send his body back to Gaia. His clothing exploded a brilliant golden/yellow/white Holy Light with black magatama patterns and lines across his clothing, with a black circle on his forehead. His skin the only part of his body not covered in the power. Ethereal forms of 12 angelic wings grew behind him, along with a halo above his head, as his Truth-Seeking Balls glowed purple.

"I understand, Asura. I will see you next time." Ophis returned with a small smile as she looked to her friend.

Pausing for a moment, Asura grinned in response, but it was a sad smirk. "Goodbye, Ophis. And remember; don't let hatred and despair grip you in the coming days. I wish you luck." The successor to the Sage Of The Six Paths declared before he flickered away into dust, leaving the Micro Dimension he created.
That was the last time Ophis ever saw Asura.
In that form anyway.

Centuries later in a wooded, small and cosy park, on Earth, a group of people were watching their kids play in a fountain within the pathed grounds on a late summer evening.
The kids were playing one last game together before they were separated due to varying issues with two of the families involved.

One of the parents sighed deeply and dejectedly as she watched her Son play with his friends in the water. "I'm going to miss this, so much. There must be something we can do, our time is almost up! It's not fair." She explained sadly as tears threatened to break at the bottomless feeling in her stomach.
Kushina Uzumaki was a 24 year old woman with a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, and the common Uzumaki red hair. It reached her ankles with shoulder-length strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left. She wore a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress with a wristband on her left wrist and standard boots.
She was the former Jinchuriki of Kurama, the Nine Tailed Fox, although now that was a split roll between her Son and her own Husband.

"I know, Kushina… but isn't this worth it? At least we were able to spend time with our Son before we both die. I know it isn't favourable, but the Shinigami I Summoned using the 'Dead Demon Consuming Seal' allowed us to spend so many years with our Son in the nearby realm of Earth. Something we might not have been able to do on Gaia due to the Shinobi way of life. Our Shinigami is already breaking Kami's rules by letting us live when I'm supposed to be in his stomach, and you in the Pure Land." He reminded, equally as down and agitated as his Wife, but he had come to accept it. Anything to see his precious Son before he was forced to spend eternity suffering inside the Shinigami.
Minato Namikaze was a 24 year old male with bright blue eyes, and spiky blond hair with jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. He wore the standard blue Konoha uniform with two bands on both of his sleeves, a green flak jacket, blue forehead protector, and blue boots. Over which is a short-sleeved long white haori, closed in the front by a thin, orange rope. The haori was decorated by red flame-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for 'Fourth Hokage' written vertically down the back.
He held the Yin Half of Kurama due to the Sealing.

"This isn't worth it, Minato… it's still not fair. We've spent eight years here with our Son, and our new friends. Now we are being ripped away from it all, and Naruto will be torn away from his friends here, and torn away from us." Kushina snapped back angrily as her hair threatened to lift up and part into nine different strands but she calmed down as to not startle the kids not far from her, and the parent of one of them. Her tone however ended on a sour note, as she knew all too well the treatment given to Jinchuriki. Even when it's the people who make them, they seek to abuse and upset their own creations. Pathetic. "The life of a Jinchuriki…"

"If it's any consolation, my own family is having to leave too. We're moving over to England, so sadly a separation was going to come about anyway. I will Pray for you two and your Son on your separate travels, so that God will continue to guide and watch over you three." Came a soothing and well-mannered voice from the left of the Husband and Wife.
Touji Shidou was a 45 year old man with shoulder length light brown hair, sharp green eyes. He wore the standard Priest's clothing, consisting of a white shirt with a black line down the front, white pants, and black shoes. Over this he featured a black long-sleeved jacket with golden accessories along the front and sleeve cuffs. He also had a Cross necklace, along with a Bible in his hand, with Holy Water kept under his jacket.

Looking over at the Exorcist for a moment, Kushina smiled hollowly at him and frowns. "Thank you. But my Son will need more than God's hand to help him when we return to Gaia." She admitted softly. Whilst Kushina wasn't a religious person, preferring more good people in the world than a Deity, she was still touched by her friend's words.
Of course both the Wife and Husband had told Touji the truth of their being here, and also what they are. During one of their many exchanges, the Exorcist had seen Kushina use her Chakra Chains to stop her Son from tripping over, needless to say the discussion following that wasn't about Ramen and how it was the food of the Gods.
And it also didn't help that Naruto himself had shown off his ability to walk on water to Touji's Daughter and her Daughter's friend. Something that the two kids quickly promised to not reveal to anything or anyone else.

But the Exorcist still welcomed the family with welcome arms, and allowed them to not hide their true selves whilst in his presence. And although he was put off with the Shinobi World due to the violence and constant hurt of people being used as weapons, he came to respect Kushina and Minato due to their more peaceful and respectful methods and ideology. Heck, they would have made brilliant Exorcists. He was in awe of the powers the Humans of Gaia could use though, Chakra, and not just one version of it. Their ability to use Elements, manipulate energy, and move at hyper speeds left him dumbfounded, and that was passed with Minato's Space–Time Ninjutsu. However Touji did admit that he felt something Holy coming from their Son, but he couldn't figure out why it was there. Something that Naruto's own parents couldn't answer. But the Church in Italy was able to answer it on the first of many trips the Namikaze/Uzumaki went on due to Naruto meeting someone there during their first visit, but the Church nor the family told Touji everything of what came of it. Only thing that Touji knew the Church did was give Naruto a gift.

"He'll always be there for you and him, Kushina, Minato. Trust in him, and he'll help your Son be the best person that he can be. He'll protect your Son from the evil of your world, and God will return him to his cherished place." Touji continued with the same honest and passionate tone, hiding his own grief for something he had to do lately regarding his late subordinate.

Glancing over to his friend with the corner of his eye, Minato spotted the grief and remorse filling Touji's own eyes. "Are you okay? Do you regret what you've done?" He asked, having seen that look from many Shinobi from missions involving death and/or betrayal.

Staying silent for a moment, Touji's green eyes met the Yellow Flash's own blue ones and he sighed gravely. "I'm not happy with it. He was my subordinate, my friend. I regret what I did, but it needed to be done. I have already Prayed for forgiveness, but I can't forget his face when I..." The Exorcist muttered as he returned his gaze forward to look at the fountain where the kids are still playing. "I might give up being an Exorcist." He continued.

"I know what you mean. I have been in that place before, I too have dealt with such missions and situations. It… sadly… comes with the job. You never know who will be your enemy next. It's never easy. I have lost many friends too." Minato said grimly as he looked along the same path as Touji, barely seeing the nod Kushina gave him, along with the one from Touji, only seeing them due to his gifted eyes.

"You're right. I hope I don't become your enemy." Touji joked with a small chuckle as he remembered the time. "Looks like I must part. My family needs to make it to the plane in time. Irina!" He lowly muttered before shouting the name of his Daughter, catching the attention of the three kids.

"Naruto, it's time to go!" Kushina also shouted.

The trio of kids ran up to the three, all with sad and distraught faces.

"Is it time, Dad?" Came the young and depressed voice of Irina.
She was a light skinned 8 year old tomboy with a short mop of chestnut coloured hair, along with violet eyes. She wore a blue and yellow vest, with tan shorts, and blue trainers.

"It is, Irina." Touji replied softly, hinting that he too didn't want to separate the trio of friends. Especially with how close his Daughter was with one of them.

"I don't want to leave them behind! They're my friends!" Naruto shouts as tears threatened to leak from his eyes.
He was an 8 year old tan skinned male with cerulean blue eyes, spiky blond hair, and three whisker marks on either cheek. He was decked with an orange t-shirt, black shorts, and orange trainers.
The three met each other in this exact park years ago. Although Naruto befriended Irina first, due to her more bubbly nature, soon after the two became friends with Issei. The trio often pranked others, or hung out at each other's homes. The three of them pranked many places together, since they were all troublemakers.
The Church across town was never the same again after the trio pranked it. Nor was the School nearby that only suited to females. The three friends had pranked the two locations thoroughly, and they were never caught.

"I know you don't, Naruto, this is hard for everyone here. But we need to go home, and the Shidou family has to go to England too." Kushina comfortingly said as she held her Son, maybe for the last time due to what was about to happen upon their return to Gaia. It'll be much harder on you, without me and your Dad.

"I'm so sorry, Issei and Naruto!" Irina cried out as she couldn't hold back her own tears anymore.

"Promise me that we'll meet again in the future?! The Three Musketeers must continue! I don't want to lose my best friends, I don't want to be alone again!" Came the voice of the other boy of the group as he pouted childishly, heart-break filled his eyes.
Issei Hyoudou was an 8 year old boy with fair skin, short and uneven messy brown hair, and light brown eyes. He wore a white and red t-shirt, blue pants, and blue trainers.
Everyone there chuckled at his response and plea, if just to help somewhat ease the anguish that the three kids were going through.

"I promise, Issei, Irina, that I will come back and find you. We will be reunited again." Naruto declared firmly as he smacked a fist into his open palm. He wouldn't let his precious people go. "OH! I forgot something! I wanted to give you two a gift!" He slapped his head as he turned to his Dad, since the Fourth Hokage had the items on his person.

"Here you go, Son." Minato said with a smile as he handed Naruto the items, hiding them from the two recipients in question.

"Thank you." Naruto voiced as he turned to face his two friends. "Close your eyes." He requested with a kind smile. Upon seeing their eyes shut, he wrapped a metallic bracelet with a green gem around Issei's right arm, before putting a beautiful silver and baptised Cross necklace around Irina's neck. "Okay, you can open them."

Both kids opened their eyes and looked at the gifts that Naruto had made for them.
Issei gasped in shock at the awesome bracelet. He soon hugged Naruto tightly, not wanting to let him go, but also to thank the blond haired boy for the present. Upon pulling back to stand next to Irina, the tomboy moved forward.
Irina took everyone by surprise though by kissing Naruto on his lips shyly before embracing him.

Issei stood there with a petrified surprised face upon seeing the act before him. Since he believed that Irina was a boy. He didn't know what to make of it, but he was happy for the two nonetheless. He wasn't one to judge.
Minato chuckled at the scene, recalling his own experiences with Kushina. And he was the shy one in their relationship too.
Kushina gushed at the situation, seeing her Son's face that could put her hair to shame in colour. However she felt even worse for tearing them away from each other.
Touji also smiled at the scene, and silently Prayed to God that the two would be reunited again in the future.
Irina pulled away from Naruto, also red faced as she thumbed the new Cross around her neck.

"Your items will glow when I return from Konoha/Gaia, but will also let you know if the other is alright. Issei's will glow green, Irina's will glow white, and mine will glow orange. Those are our colours." Naruto lectured the two with a blush still burnt onto his cheeks, pulling out a ring to place on his right ring finger.
As if on cue, Naruto's and Issei's glowed a bright white to show that Irina was happy right now. Before Irina's and Naruto's shined green, until Issei's and Irina's shone orange. With Issei and Irina missing Naruto's second ring on his left ring finger glow blue.

"It's time." A disembodied voice echoed through Kushina's and Minato's minds, the Shinigami was ready to bring them back to Gaia.

Kushina then looked to the grownup next to Issei as she motioned for Naruto to join her side, a tear running down her cheek.
The man next to Issei was Gorou Hyoudou. A 39 year old who had fair skin, with short spiky brown hair, and dark brown eyes. He also wore glasses, along with a white office t-shirt and black pants, finished with black shoes.
Since the older Hyoudou didn't know of the Namikaze/Uzumaki family secret, and also of Touji's issues with the Supernatural, Kushina distracted the man using the oldest trick in the book. She pointed to the sky and shouted. "WHOA, LOOK AT THAT! THOSE CLOUDS ARE SHAPED IN THE FORM OF A WOMAN'S BREASTS!" She exclaimed, making the people who knew what was really happening chuckle or sweat-drop at her antics.

As soon as Gorou's attention was diverted, the Namikaze/Uzumaki and all their features turned a cyan blue as their bodies were being slowly beamed away to their home world of Gaia in the Gaia Realm. Tears ran down the cheeks of Kushina as Minato looked on with sorrow.
Naruto smiled brightly at his two friends. "I never go back on my word. I know we'll meet each other again in the future. Maybe not for a while, but I promise! And I don't break a promise." The smaller child bawled out as his body started to disintegrate alongside his Father's and Mother's.

Issei and Irina grabbed Naruto's hands tightly, tears now decorating their faces.
"Promise me. For better or worse, we will still be friends!" Issei declared strongly, as his hand inched to Irina's own spare one and clasped it.
"Yeah!" Irina agreed as she looked on, firmly gripping Issei's hand.

Naruto smiled a wide and foxy smile, a true smile. "We will." He chimed. And I promise to find you again, Blue... I know our goodbye was rough... but we made a promise. And I will keep my end of it.
Then the family of Namikaze/Uzumaki flickered away into small balls of light, leaving the solemn group behind in the park, before they too dispersed and went on their separate treks.

Years later, in the Micro Dimension between Gaia and Earth, a grown up Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki floats unblinking in the abyss. Seemingly unconscious.
The wounded 16 year old has long and shaggy red hair with jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face, similar to his father's, and still has the whisker marks along with the brilliant blue eyes. He wears a ruined black and orange slim jacket, with a long black headband for his forehead protector, black pants, along with black ankle reaching boots that have red leather straps. In addition, he wears fingerless black gloves wrapped in red leather straps. On the back of his jacket is the Uzumaki Clan symbol. He wears mesh armour underneath his jacket, and he still wears the rings.

He is beyond tired, hungry, thirsty. He just finished battling his friend, Sasuke Uchiha, for the final time, finally bringing his friend from the darkness and ending the Cycle Of Hatred.
He groans painfully, the aches and cries of his body hurting him as his body continues to fix itself with his Healing Abilities. Naruto had ended the 4th Shinobi World War; he battled the undead army Obito and Orochimaru/Kabuto created, he had engaged the Juubi, he had attacked the resurrected Madara Uchiha, he had redeemed Obito Uchiha and saved him from darkness, he fought and Sealed away his Demon ancestor in the form of Kaguya Otsutsuki, and finally ended it all with pulling Sasuke back to the light. With finishing the 4th Shinobi World War by ending the Infinite Tsukuyomi Illusion that had been cast on Gaia by Madara being his final action before he was pulled here.
The young hero had ended the feud between Asura and Indra, and brought peace to the world of Gaia.

The reincarnation of Asura blinks as he looks around the vast sea of blackness, wondering personally if he died in the battle against his friend. "Am I dead? Is this my afterlife?" Naruto speaks tiredly, not moving an inch so his body can continue repairing itself, and so that his Chakra can regenerate. The Uzumaki/Namikaze/Senju hybrid, since Minato was a mix between a Namikaze and Senju, thinks back on his life for a moment. I lived a great life, I guess. I mean, I should be older, since I spent eight years on Earth with my parents before were forced back to Gaia and I was reverted to a baby… and then had to live 16 years without the love of a family. In the cold village of Konoha where I was either ignored, bullied, or pressured into being a weapon… I saved my world, redeemed and saved many people from the path of darkness… yet even though I could have, I never broke a promise, and I never hurt the innocent, and I never became something that I wasn't. I never let those three out of my mind, I still remember my closest and truest friends. Issei, Irina, Blue, I hope you three are still well, wherever you are. I just wish I could have seen you three one last time before moving on to the Pure Land. He thinks to himself heavily as he sighs, partly wishing to take his last breath so he can move on and maybe reunite with Issei, Irina, Blue, and his parents in the next life.

"Naruto, can you move?" Booms the familiar deep voice from within Naruto's mind, the voice of his oldest companion.

Yang Kurama? He mentally questions back to the Tailed Beast within him. Although not the only one now, as he can feel the presence of the others too, and he still senses the other two that moved in with him midway through the 4th Shinobi World War. Are all you guys alright?

"We're all fine, a little dazed though." Yin Kurama articulates for everyone within Naruto's body with its own deep voice. Answering for: Zero-Tails, Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, Yang Kurama, itself, and the Kurama Clone. "One minute most of us were stuck in the Planetary Devastations your 'friend' trapped us in, the next we were all pulled into you as your body was yanked through a vortex. And well, here we are, in this Micro Dimension that Asura created by accident years ago." It continues with a yawn, wishing to fall asleep so it can regain the power it lost during the battles against all the Impure World Reincarnation forms, the controlled Jinchuriki and their Tailed Beasts, Obito, Juubi, Madara, Kaguya, and Sasuke.
Something that all the Tailed Beasts, and Naruto, also want to do.

"So, Asura made this? Can we leave? I don't feel like floating in an abyss for the rest of my long life, you know. It'll get really boring, since I might end up living forever with how potent my stupendous Life Force is, and I age much slower too. Plus with the Regeneration." Naruto comments out loud to himself. He can't be bothered to use the Creation Of All Things Technique to build everything for him, he doesn't want to be the God of some place. Plus he might go a bit crazy if the only people he talks with are the voices in his head.
Even if they are good company.

"Aww, thank you for that." Sounds the more female and sultry voice of Matatabi, the fiery Two Tailed Bakeneko/Nekomata/Nekoshou mix. Glad that her new Jinchuriki is content with all of the Tailed Beasts within his body, although the ones made by Hagoromo will have to get used to the Kurama Clone, the strange Fox/Dragon/Hydra hybrid created by Kabuto that was fused with the Spear Of Heaven and Saezuri to complete it.

"How do we get out of this place?" Naruto nearly demands as he flips his body into a standing form instead of floating on his back.

Figuring out the positions of both Earth and Gaia within the Micro Dimension, Yang Kurama looks towards the closest point of Earth. Seeing how he heard Naruto's pleas to return to that place once again. "Turn right, then use your Six Paths Sage Mode. You won't need your Asura Mode to open the bridge to the near Realm, as you're much more powerful than Asura was. Even without us in your body, Naruto." The lighter furred Nine Tails orders, before complimenting its host with pride and honesty. Having watched Naruto grow into a wonderful person, and with the largest heart it has seen, even larger than Asura's and Hagoromo's own. And that's saying a lot.

Naruto nods with a beaming smile upon hearing Yang's words of inspiration, blushing faintly at the praise. Reflecting on his Universal Understanding of Chakra and all its abilities, he soon finds the ability to open pathways. He then opens his right palm to show a pure white circle, the Six Paths Yang Power. His eyes turn yellow and his pupils take on a cross-like shape. His body now bolstered with the Six Paths Sage Mode, the form before his Asura Mode, Naruto uses what Chakra he gained back, and some from the Tailed Beasts, to open a doorway to the world beyond. However, due to his exhausted state, he falls out of his Six Paths Sage Mode form and pants heavily. The door remains open but soon starts to pull back on itself.

"MOVE!" Bellows the more reptilian and distorted voice of Clone Kurama.

Naruto then quickly floats through the portal, just falling out of the Micro Dimension in time, barely missing the door close on his foot during his tumble out of it. He falls face first into a relaxing field surrounded by trees, not far from a mountain and a river. The Child Of Prophecy, the one who united the Shinobi World, now lies on the grass of the peaceful place. "Fucking Hell." He groans out, sighing faintly not long after upon feeling a lovely breeze caress his form. Ignoring the midday Sun overhead. He also uses his Chakra Suppression Ability to make himself invisible to Sensors.

About 60 minutes later, Naruto cracks his back, releasing a pent out moan of pleasure at the relief it gives him. Now without his battle wounds due to his Healing Abilities, he uses his Creation Of All Things Technique to rebuild his clothing, so that they look like they just came out of the dryer. His body is also refreshed, having cleaned himself in the river nearby, before he dried himself using his Boil Release carefully to remove the water.
"I guess I should figure out where in Kami's name I am, or is it God's name? Hm." Naruto ponders to himself before shrugging his shoulders and leaping into the air, landing on a tree branch before he continues his act of jumping to find some civilisation.
After a moment of tree hopping, Naruto stands on a tall tree to look at something incredible. Before him is a massive town, beautiful and pleasing to look at. Buildings of old and new, and all of it surrounded by nature.
For a moment though he questions the location, since he hasn't seen anything like it on Gaia. Well sort of, but this blows all of those places out of the water. Upon closer inspection though, a faint memory rears its head in, as some of the buildings look oddly familiar to him. The Uzumaki hybrid then gasps loudly as the name of the place now reveals itself, a place he wanted to get back to years ago. "Kuoh Town? I'm back on Earth?! T-that means I can visit my old friends again! Issei, Irina, I will find you both, I promised you years ago that we would meet up again." He looks down to his ring, seeing it flash green and white in surprise almost at his sudden arrival. "I hope I will see you too, Blue." He mutters longingly as the ring on his left ring finger glows a vibrant blue.
However, then Naruto realises something. He technically has been missing for 8 years from this place, give or take. And he doesn't even have a place to live either. "Crap."

"Yep." All the Tailed Beast comment in agreement.

A year later, a now 17 year old Naruto Uzumaki is walking along a quite path in the morning, enjoying the crisp air hitting his face as he continues on his journey.
The year had been rough on Naruto, but also fantastic. Relearning about Earth was beyond crazy, but due to the over usage of Shadow Clones he was able to quickly gather the necessary knowledge needed to sort himself out in this somewhat alien world. The technology was also something he had to relearn, since the gap in technology between Gaia and Earth is noticeable in most respects. Although that can be put down to the Humans of Earth not having powers like those of Gaia.
He had to confront the Government and Police to let them know that he was alive and well, but that he had moved into the wilderness and away from everything for a few years until his parents died. Of course it was all a lie, but it was a half-truth. So he regained his Papers and soon acquired a Passport, but that led to another issue.
He also needed money to even get anywhere in this world, and while he had a Scroll from his parents that held a good sum of money from their time here, it wasn't enough for him to continue without an extra source. So that forced him to release the now extremely popular Icha Icha Series, his own version of it of course, which is loved by both females and males due to the incredible passionate romance, brilliant plot, action, and intense ecchi moments. His series, inspired by his Godfather's own brand, sold and continues to sell well, bringing in plenty of cash for him to live happily. So his need for the countless Shadow Clones in their own Transformation Technique selves floating about getting the money in wasn't needed, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
But Naruto would never show the film version that was made back on Gaia, the Icha Icha Paradise movie, as it starred him. And he'd rather not get hounded by everyone for seeing him in such an… intimate and physical film that featured him in its ecchi scene.
He got his own place too, about 30 minutes away from the nearby School. A recently made massive two story house. The ground floor of his near mansion had 10 rooms, same as the first floor above. However his basement was the best, since he made a space where he could train in all of his abilities without attracting the attention of the outside world. The environment can be altered, and it could regenerate due to the Seals Naruto used.
So he kept in shape too, and continued training so he could use all the abilities he had locked in his head due to the Universal Understanding of Chakra and all its abilities.
His house was also heavily defended with Seals and Barriers to stop blasts from either a near Juubi Tailed Beast Bomb in the case of Chakra/Magic, or a Tsar Bomba in the case of technology. It also hid his power more when he was in the house.

However during his stay, he encountered certain people with different feels to them. Light, Corrupted Light, and Dark among some he found. Which forced him to find a reason to the strange feelings. And although he nearly got caught a few times by members of those Factions, he managed to find the cause to the sensations.
Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils.
Although Naruto had no problem with any of them, since he'd rather meet them and judge them in person and not by what each Faction said about the other, he didn't want to catch their attention if he could help it. However this led Naruto to discover more about the Supernatural of Earth, along with Magic and Sorcery, as well as Holy Swords and strange items that Humans could be born with known as Sacred Gears. Although both of them felt so familiar to him for an odd reason.
He also had an issue too; since he was aware that some people of Earth also could use Senjutsu, something had pissed the Earth off something chronic as the feel of nature was so negative and evil. But Naruto began the slow process of Healing the Earth using his slight variation of Senjutsu and Six Paths Senjutsu. However he kept it to a minimum as to not catch the attention of others.
However from what he learnt regarding the people who use Senjutsu on Earth, they used it differently and couldn't automatically power themselves up. They could still be incredibly powerful even though they couldn't directly match the power of Magic or Light. But their abilities still aren't anything to sneeze at. Their Senjutsu had the power to control the flow of life energy. By controlling the flow of Ki, a person could strengthen physical bodies or cause Vegetation around them to bloom or to wither. Knowing Senjutsu allowed the reading of Ki and Auras and to spy on the target's state from afar. Disrupting the opponent's Ki or severing it could cause direct damage to living things. And there was a Healing side to their Senjutsu too, but it involved the Bedroom Method. They could also use something called Touki, a power that could be used to enhance their strength, speed, and toughness.
One/two races he found to use Senjutsu were the Nekomata, but the more rarer and potent Nekoshou could use Senjutsu more predominantly. However the latter was nearly wiped out due to one of its members apparently getting drunk on Senjutsu and killing some prat, resulting in that race to be put on the verge of extinction. An utter load of crap in his mind, and he was half tempted to slap the people involved with the order silly for nearly killing a race out of fear and because one Devil got offed. It also brought back memories of how his Uzumaki Clan was wiped out due to fear and their power.
So he studied the Senjutsu of this world too, since he was already a True Sage of his world, there's always stuff to learn on this one. Plus he could explore his powers more.
He also began teaching someone nearby who couldn't control their powers to Sacred Gear that could freeze Time, and to tame their darker aspects. He appeared to them in their mind using Asura Mode and the application of Ninshu. Naruto had helped this person so much that they were freed from being Sealed, but he continued to visit the person.

He also encountered the Governor General of the Fallen Angels and Grigori, Azazel. Interesting man, quirky and fun, if not reminiscent to both Shikamaru and Jiraiya, the latter being his deceased Godfather. Azazel was a pacifist, a thinker, lazy, and a pervert. The two though spent time exchanging stories, since the Fallen Angel was able to figure out that Naruto wasn't from around here.
Plus Azazel managed to help aid Naruto with the current situation between the many Supernatural Factions. And help him with some of the unfamiliar technology of Earth.

During his recent travels a month or two ago he bumped into someone of great importance, whom is the reason as to why he's now walking to a nearby School. A handsome man with shoulder length crimson red hair and blue/green eyes, who apparently was ditching paperwork to get some fresh air, saw Naruto and became curious. Since with the Suppression Ability to hide his presence, the man in question saw the veil that made Naruto invisible, and so he confronted him.
However the older gentleman soon grew interested as he saw something of himself in Naruto, the same pain and experience of war in the young man's eyes. He soon introduced himself to Naruto, the name of the man being Sirzechs, and chatted for a moment before the two made it to Naruto's home, where the talk got more… interesting. Since Naruto instantly addressed the Elephant in the room, as he picked up on Sirzechs being a Devil.
And not long after the two began exchanging abbreviated stories of their true selves, until the Crimson Satan decided to enrol Naruto as a Second Year Student in the nearby School called Kuoh Academy that recently became co-ed. Although Naruto soon mentioned that he pranked that place years ago.
Oops.
Although it got Sirzechs to laugh upon learning how the prank was pulled.

So now he stands before the brick walls and metal gates of Kuoh Academy, with a large fountain not far from him, and then the looming multi-floored Academy behind it. Honestly it looks like a castle or mansion, so beautiful and incredible, so aesthetically pleasing. With the nature of the forest filling in the gaps between the numerous buildings, that just makes it Heaven for Naruto.
The Child Of Prophecy is wearing the boy's uniform for Kuoh Academy, which consists of a black blazer with white accents, over a white long-sleeved dress shirt with a black ribbon on the collar, and matching black pants. He still wears his black and red boots that reach his ankles, along with the black and red fingerless gloves, and the rings. He also has the blue/green gem necklace Tsunade gave him years ago from winning the bet.
Naruto Uzumaki takes a breath before stepping past the gate of the educational institution campus. He survived School once, he can survive it again.
Although he soon attracts the attention of everyone in the local area outside the Academy, but that soon escalates the moment he walks through the giant glass doors of the School's front entrance.

It's a wide room with large windows and pillars that hold up the pathways above them. Stairs lead upwards to the numerous floors above. The walls have notice boards on them, along with some paintings of the Academy itself. Several plants are also presented around the room to add more tone to the odd mix of traditional and modern design of the building.
Naruto looks around for a moment along some of the hallways in the Front Entrance Room that'll lead to the Classrooms or Offices. As he looks towards the piece of paper in his hand to figure out where his room is, his sensitive ears pick up on the comments made by the others.
Positive ones by the girls, and negative ones from the boys.

"Who is he?"
"He looks hot!"
"He looks so dreamy!"
"Do you think he's single?!"
"Do you think he's got a big-"

"Fuck, another pretty boy!"
"Should we rough him up?!"
"He's going to take all the girls!"
"Great! First Yuuto, now him!"
"Damn it!"

Hell on Earth! Naruto mentally cries out as he ignores the blushing and nattering girls, along with the jealous and angry boys. He walks further into the School, smiling brightly at them with his famous foxy smile, until he catches the feel of something above him; a Devil presence to be exact. Glancing upwards, he sees who it is, and blushes deeply. Holy. That's a Devil? She looks more like an Angel/Goddess.

Rias Gremory is an 18 year old tall female with beautiful white skin, blue/green eyes, and a buxom figure. She has long and stunning crimson hair that reaches down to her thighs with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. She wears the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform, which consists of a white long-sleeved button-down shirt, with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white accents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks.
The Devil heiress looks down to the newcomer with curious eyes, however her eyes widen before narrowing when she can't even sense anything from the man. But also when his eyes reach her own, almost like he sensed her. Putting a hand to her ear, she uses her Magic to call Koneko to check him out. However when she blinks and opens her eyes again, the red haired male isn't in her view anymore. She also makes a note to get her old friend, Sona/Souna, involved to check the new person out.

During his walk down the well-kept corridors bustling with life of both organic and nature, Naruto stops still upon picking up on another Devil ahead of him, one that has the scent of a Neko and a Senjutsu user. Narrowing his blue eyes, he stops still in front of a closed Classroom door labelled 2-B. He blushes at seeing the female not far from him. He hums faintly too in respect. Wow, she's beautiful. And her hair is like snow or Marshmallow.

Koneko Toujou is a 16 year old petite girl with white hair and hazel eyes. The front of her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She also wears a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair, one of which contains something that Naruto picks up on. She wears the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform like Rias, just without the shoulder cape.
Her cold eyes instantly lock onto Naruto's own as she uses her enhanced Sensory Ability to scan the body of the new Student. However those soft eyes of her target show nothing but loss and pain, yet still with untold amount of love and warmth. But what catches Koneko's surprise is when Naruto opens himself up; allowing her to see the ocean that is his Chakra and Senjutsu, but the warmth of all of them nearly makes her lose control and expose her Neko features.
Upon steeling herself though, she sees ethereal heads of several creatures behind the red haired boy: A Leech with a mask and hair strands, a Tanuki with dark patterns and four pointed star eyes, a fiery Bakeneko/Nekomata/Nekoshou monster, a Crab Turtle with the left eye open, a Monkey with horns and elongated fangs, a Dolphin Horse with four horns, a Slug, a Rhinoceros Beetle with heavy Knight-like armour, the next being an Ushi-Oni, two Foxes with different ear lengths, and the last one being a mix between a Fox and Dragon. However the scene soon ends when Naruto winks at her with a warm and inviting smile before he knocks on the door. His power fully hidden once more. Koneko blushes at the wink before she calms down and turns around, aiming to take this controversial information to President Rias. But also she makes a note to figure out the red haired male more due to that intense Chakra she felt.

"Come in." A rough voice sounds from the other side.
Within the dull and grey Classroom, which is filled with wooden desks in rows for the Students all facing the front where the Teacher's own is placed just before a whiteboard filled with Math equations. There are windows that look out to the rear of the Academy, as low lights dangle from the ceiling.
The person who answers the knock on the door is a middle aged male with wild brown and grey hair and black eyes. He wears a grey smart suit with black shoes. He is called Grant Bridges.
He looks to his near full class of Students and smiles. "Class, we have a new transfer Student. Please welcome him as you would."

The door towards the back opens to reveal Naruto Uzumaki with a kind smile. "Thank you." He sounds out as he closes the door. However one noticeable Student next to a window looks at him with surprise at the whisker marks on the new male's face.

"You're welcome. Come to the front and introduce yourself." The Teacher, Grant, returns before requesting the young man politely.

Walking through the desks in a quick fashion, Naruto soon makes it to the front and stands before the class. He gives off a dazzling smile as an aura of cheerfulness emanates from him. "Hello, my name is Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki, and I look forward to being friends with all of you. Please treat me well." He exclaims as he sticks his thumb out.

Just as the class is about to shout out in awe at his looks and merry personality, a surprised gasp echoes from the person next to the window.

"Naruto? Is that really you? Y-you came back after all? Like you promised?" The male says with wide eyes as he steps out of his chair and slowly walks to the red haired male. Trembling as he now stands in front of Naruto, his hair covering his eyes.
The now 17 year old Issei Hyoudou has spiky brown hair with two short locks of hair behind his head, and light brown eyes. He wears the Kuoh Academy boys' uniform, which consists of an opened blazer with white accents, over an opened white long-sleeved dress shirt with black highlights and a black ribbon on the collar, over a red t-shirt, matching black pants, and blue and white sneakers. He also has the same green crystal bracelet around his wrist.
It had been a rough weak for Issei; he had a Girlfriend who ended up randomly stabbing him out of the blue with a Light Spear after an amazing few weeks' worth of dates, died, somehow survived only to be stabbed again, then nearly died only to wake up next to a naked Rias in his bed. Everyone thought he was going crazy since nobody apparently heard of his Girlfriend.
However Issei believes that she was forced to do it, but that's a gut feeling. Or that could still be the tingle of Light affecting him from being skewered twice within 24 hours. It also didn't help that he couldn't talk much to Aika Kiryuu and Kiyome Abe, since they were away or ill. But he got the same responses from them regarding the missing Girlfriend of his when he called them.
He also had strange dreams too, but they felt like memories more than anything. Instead of being himself, he's his Girlfriend in places he'd never seen before, experiencing things he had never personally experienced.
And now his old best friend, the one who he saw vanish before his eyes, is now standing in front of him, taller than him and now with red hair. But he can easily see that Naruto had been through a rough time lately too. The orange glow of his bracelet in response to the ring of Naruto's glowing green shows that it is indeed his old friend.

"'I never go back on my word. I know we'll meet each other again in the future. Maybe not for a while, but I promise! And I don't break a promise.' I believe I said those words to you before I left you so long ago. After all, the Three Musketeers must reunite again, right?" Naruto replies with a chuckle, reciting the words he said just before he vanished years ago. "It seems you changed plenty since we last spoke, Issei."

Issei then hugs Naruto tightly, only amplified by his recent powers and strength due to being resurrected as a Devil two days ago. However the hug doesn't bother the whiskered male. "You did come back."

Naruto returns the embrace and pats his back. "Of course I did." He then whispers in his ear lowly so that nobody else can hear his next words. "You feel like a Devil, Issei." His words are answered by the shocked look on Issei's face.

The girls in Classroom all shout out in despair, all telling Issei to take his paws off of the new hottie, or something along those lines, as they don't want him to infect Naruto with his perverted nature.

Even if Issei is known as the Perverted Gentleman.

"Settle down now, class. Take your seats. Naruto, you will sit next to Issei." Grant barks out, before settling into a relaxed and still rich tone.

Getting a nod from Naruto and Issei, the latter moves first until another knock is heard on the door. The Teacher gains a tick mark on his forehead.

"It's all go today, huh?" Naruto comments with dry humour, getting a small laugh from the Students, and a look of gratitude from Grant.

The door soon opens to reveal another teenager, to which a loud choir of screams from the females of the room assault as the form of a perfect male greets them in a gentlemanly fashion.
Yuuto Kiba is a 17 handsome young man with short blond hair, blue/grey eyes, and a mole underneath his left eye. He wears the Kuoh Academy boys' uniform; which consists of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes.
"Hey there, good afternoon." He greets kindly to the females of the room before he spots Issei next to the newest Student. "Please excuse me for a moment." Yuuto says before making his way to Grant, using a silent Spell on the Teacher so that he can go about his business without issues. He then tries it on Naruto, but to his surprise the Spell doesn't even work against the red head. So Yuuto, filling that information for later, smiles and greets Issei. "Hello, Issei Hyoudou."

"What do you want?" Issei sharply returns, not liking Yuuto Kiba too much due to his good looks and popularity with the girls.

"I'm here on behalf of Rias Gremory. Would you kindly follow me?" Yuuto requests Issei with the same handsome smile on his face.

However the girls don't like this development at all. Although some are happy and let their thoughts runaway at the thought of the Gentleman of Kuoh and the Perverted Gentleman being in a relationship.
"He'll corrupt you, Yuuto!"
"I will never accept them!"
"OH, God, they make the perfect pair!"
"I want both of them!"
"How about Yuuto, Issei, AND Naruto?!"

Picking up his suitcase, Issei soon makes a remark to the eccentric fan girls around them. "I won't drain him of his juices. Stop spouting nonsense." He mutters before turning to look at Naruto. "We'll meet after?" Issei quizzes with a smile, hoping to catch up for lost time with his former best friend. Hoping that the two will be best friends once again.

"Sure thing." Although you could have worded what you said to the girls better, honestly. 'Drain him of his juices.' Naruto replies with a foxy smile as he watches Issei leave the Classroom with Yuuto. He soon takes his seat and the session continues where it left off prior to all the interruptions. Since he studied plenty in his free time during his recent… escapades across the town, and parts of the world, using his Shadow Clones to learn, he knows that this will be a breeze. But he still mentally groans at one important fact.
He is at School, again.
Yay School?
Maybe he should have ignored Sirzechs.

With Issei and Yuuto though, the two are now standing in an older three story building hidden within the campus of Kuoh Academy. A location better known as the Occult Research Club.
The club room interior, which was a cleared out classroom, is a wood-panelled room with Victorian-style couches and chairs along the walls. One side is set up to be able to be used as a bath, and a large Gremory Family Magic Circle is also there to allow teleportation to and from clients. There are chalkboards on two of the walls, and two notice boards. Also following the Occult motif are tables with skulls and candles on them, odd runes on the chalkboard, and gothic paintings. There are some plants in the room too.
Koneko is sitting on the settee eating sweets, having just finished telling the currently standing and focused Rias what she felt and saw from Naruto, whom leans back on the desk behind her in contemplation.

There are two other people sat on the opposite sofa to Koneko.
Akeno Himejima is an 18 year old beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair is tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place. She wears the customary Kuoh Academy girls' uniform, but with black calf-length socks.
The other is the nervous Gasper Vladi, a 16 year old androgynous-looking male with platinum blond hair and pinkish-violet eyes. His hair is styled in short bob cut with several small fringes over his forehead, and he has pointed ears. He oddly enough wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform with thigh-high socks.

Rias, upon noticing Issei and Yuuto, smiles warmly before welcoming them to/back to the Club. "Well, everyone's here now." She then gestures to the couch, silently asking for the two arrivals to sit down. Upon seeing the two take their seats, the red haired President of the ORC continues from where she left off. "We welcome you to the Occult Research Club. But in truth this is a mere façade. Nothing but a hobby. I'll be frank with you, Issei, everyone around you are Devils."

Startled at the blunt explanation, Issei feels his heart stop for a moment before blinking and retorts with a small stutter and sarcasm. "That was indeed very frank."

"The black winged man you saw yesterday, and your Girlfriend from the day before… Yuuma, are Fallen Angels. Once serving God among the Angels in Heaven, they were cast down to Earth and the Underworld for wickedness and Sin of varying shades." Rias continues with the same serious yet gentle smile and tone, getting a sharp gasp and look of shock from Issei upon hearing his Girlfriend(?) being mentioned. "Fallen Angels try to manipulate Humans to destroy us Devils. For hundreds of years now, there has been a constant struggle for Hell. Not only that, but us Devils also have to contend with Angels who come down to hunt us. It's a three way standoff, or Cold War, between the three Factions of Angel, Fallen, and Devil. We Devils also work with Humans in a variety of ways, either through Contracts or transforming them into Devils too." The red haired Devil further explains before noticing the unsure and confused expression on Issei's face. "Are you following me so far?"

"Um, this is getting kind of complicated. I mean, I've encountered people with powers before, but the whole Supernatural(?) hiding on the world is too complicated for a High School Student like me." The Perverted Gentleman answers whilst rubbing the back of his head, fidgeting at the information overload.

Frowning for a moment and slipping the information away for later, Rias grabs a photo and slides it across the table to Issei. "Yuuma Amano, correct? The one you dated for a while? She was real, there's no doubt about that. A lovely picture I must confess, you two looked so happy. She's a Fallen Angel like I stated earlier." The Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess elaborates with folded arms, her tone honest as is the smile on her beautiful face. Yet her eyes hold an hidden agenda.

"Matsuda and Motohama can't remember her at all! Like she didn't exist. Aika and Kiyome also don't recall her. Her address, phone number vanished too, but I know they were real. I know she is real." The newly made Devil growls out as his body trembles, since he felt the whole world went against him when his closest friends, those who he had shown Yuuma, couldn't even recall her.

Unperturbed against the angry voice from the brown haired boy, Rias enlightens. "She used her powers, in a similar manner to how I used my powers on your Parents this morning." The President of the ORC smiles at the boy, knowing that he understands now what happened. She continues upon seeing him put two and two together. "Once a Fallen Angel completes their mission, or in the case of yours when she completed her mission, she erased all trace and memories of her existence from the people around you." Rias Gremory elaborates with a straight face before slipping into a more saddened one. Since even though she's a Devil, she cares deeply for people. Due to her own family nature, and because she has spent many years in the Human world. "Her mission then being along the lines of killing you, due to finding out that you have something dangerous in your body. She killed you using a Light Spear."

Issei looks at his hands as the faint echo of the pain runs through his stomach from where Yuuma impaled him. "'Blame God for putting the Sacred Gear inside your body.' That's what she said to me." He shakily parrots the words spoken to him by his estranged Girlfriend.

"Sacred Gears are traits and powers that certain Humans have. It is said that most of the greatest figures in history possessed them. They, at times, have the power formidable enough to threaten Devils, Fallen, Angels, and other members of the Supernatural world. Some are known to be able to rival the Gods themselves in ability and strength. They were made by God to help enact miracles and unite the world." Akeno herself clarifies in place of Rias this time, a polite look gracing her elegant features as a somewhat hidden mischievous side glints in her eyes.

Nodding in agreement, Rias notions to Issei's left hand. "Raise your left hand. Then close your eyes and imagine the strongest being that comes to mind. Focus." She orders warmly as she keeps her eyes on Issei.

Trying to focus initially, Issei's focus is disturbed by the fact that he can see Rias' black and near see-through thong through her crossed legs. Putting away his inner pervert, he closes his eyes and takes a breath, remembering the calming exercise that Naruto used years ago. He was going to mimic Goku from Dragon Ball, but he goes for an easier pose. He then opens his left palm, the fingers wide apart as he tries to mimic an ability that his friend showed him years ago. Focusing his inner self, his concentration reaching its peak as he struggles with it. A spark of green lightning erupts from his left arm as he raises the hand up into the air above him, like when Naruto created that large sphere of energy years ago. Issei bellows out a cry as suddenly a green gem appears on the back of his hand, along with an incredible fanged and clawed gauntlet of red and gold. Dragon like in nature, and extremely powerful. Looking at the new part of his body, Issei's eyes widen as he inspects it, bringing it close to his face. "Woah, this is so cool! It looks better than the Water Dragon and the Rasengan Naruto could make with Chakra." He comments with astonishment, gaining curious eyes directed to him for that comment about Naruto, with the sweet eating Koneko being more interested now. He then makes the gauntlet vanish like it was never there to begin with.

Putting away the information about Naruto for later, Rias moves the conversation forward by pulling out a familiar flyer to Issei. Aiming to answer his unasked question. An item covered with runes and pentagrams, along with roses, and with the words 'We grant your wish' written on it. "On the verge of death you summoned me with the last of your will, your desire to see a beautiful women before your time called me. I in turn resurrected you as a member of the House of Gremory, daughter of Duke Gremory, an Upper-Class Devil. As my servant Devil, Issei." She declares with a devilish yet proud smile as sharp black wings shoot from her back, almost Bat like in design. The pitch black wings aim downwards before arching up.

The others in the room stand up and join Rias in her demonstration. With Issei's own appearing just after he jumps out of the chair in shock.

I'm no longer a Human? Issei thinks to himself in disbelief, the shock of it all wearing thin on his sanity.

"Welcome, Issei. We will treat you well and help you in this new life of yours. You also won't have to worry about your Parents, they'll be protected by the Gremory. But, onto other matters." Rias welcomes again and promises with the calm smile as she gets a stack of flyers and places them on the table in front of Issei, along with a demonic looking device with a red screen that shows a map of Kuoh. "Devils collect power and money by forming Contracts with Humans and receiving compensation. Most typically don't draw Magic Circles anymore to summon us, so we hand the circles out to potential clients/contractors. Since you are new to this, you will need to learn the basics before allowing a Familiar to perform such mundane tasks." The Devil heiress then leans uncomfortably close to the teen, her lips and breath tickling Issei's ear as he stops putting the flyers in his suitcase. "Work hard and promote yourself to a High-Class, and you will get servants for yourself one day. A… harem, so to speak. But only if you put enough effort into your task and near future, Issei." She whispers sensually before pulling back and relaxing on the couch, knowing that her words will strike the inner pervert of Issei, his desire. Although that desire is almost universally known as he spoke about it often enough in the Academy.

"S-so if they're servants, they will obey me, right? I can do whatever I want with them too, right? E-even perverted things?" Issei repeatedly questions as his mind slowly descends down the proverbial gutter of perverseness.

Closing her eyes and forcing a smile at the… antics of Issei, Rias quickly replies to the onslaught of questions. "Yes. If they're your servants." She then thinks to herself. "We'll teach you how to use a Magic Circle later, but first you must do two Summoning Requests. They were Koneko's, but I think a crash course into this life will make you understand this early life for you, correct?"

"Thank you." Koneko finally says, glancing at Issei for a moment before returning to her sweets and thinking about the newest student and his… intoxicating Chakra. And with that Senjutsu… how has he not gone insane… like SHE did?

"No, I should be thanking you." Issei returns with a bow. He then looks back to Rias. "So does that mean I'm getting a Contract?"

Rias smiles and grabs Issei's hand before using her Magic to draw a symbol on his left palm. "This is a Carved Seal, proof that you're a member of the Gremory House. Are you ready to do this?"

Steeling his nerves due to the rush of everything, Issei responds. "Not really, but no time like the present?" He admits with an easy and unsure smile.

"Glad to hear it, best be quick on that bike. Also I request two things of you; you must call me President during formal settings, and the other being the issue of Naruto. Bring him in when you can." Rias says sweetly before putting her hands on her hips. Since now the Devils have an issue in the form of the unknown Naruto.

"Naruto? Um, sure, I'll bring him in." The brunet answers with a distraught frown, worried for his recently returned friend. "I best be going then!" Issei adds as he leaves with a spring in his step. He then leaps out the door in excitement. "YES! I'm one step closer to my dream of being the Perverted Gentleman Harem King!" He exclaims in bliss from outside the ORC.

Looking at the door for a moment, the group within sweat drops at the boisterous words of their newest member.

"Well… our newest Brother seems… enthusiastic?" Akeno mutters, trying to find the right words to describe Issei. Although she chuckles at him.

"I'm sure he'll fit in nicely." Gasper adds unsurely, however he is personally sure that Issei will make a fine addition to the Occult Research Club, and the Peerage as a whole.

"He'll make a good member, with the right motivation. Besides… we'll have to be ready for our/my future problems." Rias explains firmly with frazzled calm, hitting at more personal things that involves her. An issue that she really wants to break, and she will do anything and EVERYTHING to get out of it.
A damn Contract that her family put her in years ago, one that strained her love for them. An act that she still hasn't forgiven them for.

The other members of her Peerage look at her with looks of understanding, since Rias' issue is fast approaching.

"If need be, I'll try to get Naruto into my Peerage as well. Though it might take all of my remaining Evil Pieces. Although the Mutated Pawn Pieces, which constitutes to more than 8 Pawn Pieces, I used on Issei shows just how powerful his Sacred Gear is… at least I still have 4 Mutated Pawns left." Rias explains and laments with a sigh, knowing that time is running out to her coming Arranged Marriage. She then looks over to Koneko. "If Issei doesn't meet Naruto tonight, try to familiarise yourself with him tomorrow and get him to open up. I must try to gain his attention. Hm, still… that power that Koneko discovered…" Rias Gremory orders with faint desperation before pondering on what Koneko described when she saw the giant monsters behind and within the aura of Naruto. She sighs and pulls out an orange book with the words 'Icha Icha: Forbidden Love' written across the front.
The other members of her Peerage also kick back and do whatever, with Akeno reading Rias' book too, Koneko and Gasper reading another book entitled 'Icha Icha: Vampire Knight Attraction', and with Yuuto drinking some Tea that Akeno made although he too glances at the book that Koneko is reading.

An hour or so later in the dead of night within the quiet backstreets of Kuoh, Issei is solemnly walking down the road with his bike next to him. Reflecting on his first two missions; his first being a failure after bickering with the man over who knew and loved Dragon Ball more, the other one being a strange success since he was able to pull off dressing like a Magic Girl well enough.
The image of him and the male dressing up and posing as Magic Girls is a memory that he will never be able to chain up in the darkest recess of his mind and forget.
Part of him is super annoyed that he wasn't able to hang out with Naruto this evening, but strangely enough he kept and keeps feeling someone was/is watching him. It started when he left the ORC and it still hasn't lifted.
He stops still for a moment and clutches his head, getting a vision/memory again; him as his Girlfriend again in a strange place with lakes instead of oceans, and meeting with some older male with two toned hair. Issei shakes his head before continuing.

"What a night…" Issei grumbles out tiredly before a sense of foreboding fills his being. The sky becomes a crescendo of purple and blue as the shadows in the area grow. "That feeling? It's just like last time. Huh?" He turns around and looks towards an approaching figure. "Miss Kalawarner? Are you okay?" The Devil boy smiles at her, since she is one of the Teachers from his previous School that he liked and actually listened too. It didn't help that she is a beauty and is nice to chat with, if not a bit arrogant at times. He still meets up with her now and then too, when he needs help with School work, along with another Student of Kalawaner's called Mittelt, a younger female who Issei also gets along with.

"Hey, Issei. What are you doing out at midnight?" Kalawarner is 24 year old tall and buxom woman with brown eyes and long, navy blue hair that obscures her right eye. Her attire consists of a maroon, trench coat-like top with a wide collar, a matching miniskirt, and black heeled shoes. The trench coat top is open at her chest, giving view to her breasts and cleavage. She also wears a gold necklace around her neck, one that Issei had given her. She appears to wear a white shirt underneath her top, but it can only be seen from the bottom.
She is close to Issei, having taught him for many years as a Personal Tutor before he moved into the School ranks at the other School across Town.
In her most frank opinion, Issei is an attractive and fit male specimen. Honestly, she also wanted to rob him of his virginity the moment he turned 16 and ride him into oblivion, but that didn't happen due to a mission she was given. And annoyingly she wasn't given the mission to get closer to Issei like Raynare/Yuuma was, but she still will get closer to the brunet.

"I was just handing out flyers for a Club I'm now involved in, Miss." Issei answers respectfully as the ominous feeling only increased and didn't ease. Is she a… Fallen?

"You look rough, Issei, are you alright?" Kalawarner probes more as she stands in front of the shorter brunet male. However she instantly picks up on him being a Devil. What? When did that happen?

Sighing deeply, knowing that he can't lie to her as she can easily pick up on any form of lie, he explains to her what's been happening. "Well I had a Girlfriend called Yuuma and dated her for two weeks before she ended up stabbing me two days ago. I survived then got stabbed again yesterday… my first best friend reappeared, and now I'm in a Club handing out flyers. This week has been utter shit so far, I haven't slept well in days now because of the nightmares of Yuuma stabbing me keep me awake at night." Issei cries out, his body trembling at the rush of negative thoughts. The feelings of despair, inadequacy, and fear fill his thoughts as he just wants to scream to the Heavens about how unfair and unjust it all feels. He is then brought into a tight embrace by Kalawarner, his head ending up between her generous assets, causing an immediate reaction throughout his body, two places on his body more so. However he instantly picks up on her tensing bizarrely, almost like Yuuma did when he held her hand.

"I-issei, you need get away, now!" Kalawarner shouts as she pushes the boy back, screaming out as her eyes glow red and dim almost like she's being hypnotised. Suddenly two large black wings, almost angelic like in appearance, shoot from her back. Her eyes remain red, however they are dim and empty, hollow even. A shell of her former self. Kalawarner's eyes lock on Issei's own as she hastily creates a golden Light Spear and chucks it towards the even more heartbroken and depressed boy.

However Issei jumps out the way in time, his palm open to show the Gremory Family Seal. The appearance of it shocks Kalawarner still for a moment, allowing the brown haired teen to climb back to his feet again as his watery eyes look to yet another precious person attempting to kill him. T-this can't be happening, did I piss God off so much that everyone is trying to kill me?! He mentally cries in anguish, however he grits his teeth in pain upon mentioning the name of God. N-no! I won't die here! I will make my promises a reality, I made a promise to my best friend!

The older Fallen Angel tries to fight the oddness of her body, but fails quickly as something glows on the back of her neck with a sickening shade of black. She creates another Light Spear before jumping into the air. "A member of the Gremory? All the more reason to end you!" She screams before she throws the Corrupted Holy Light with deadly accuracy. S-sorry, Issei!

Refusing to die here now and cross into the next life, Issei screams out as green light explodes from his left hand, the familiar gauntlet appearing once more in conjunction with his Devil wings. He then fires an omnipotent beam of green light towards his now twisted ex Teacher destroying the Light Spear and hitting Kalawarner in the process.
But the beam doesn't hurt the Fallen Angel, instead it… destroys her clothing in an almost dazzling display, showing Kalawarner's birthday suit for the realm of night to see. The gauntlet wielder looks down in awe at the weapon, before looking to his now nude ex Teacher, only to bleed from his nose at the incredible sight.

"S-sacred Gear?! I must end you now!" Kalawarner yells she primes another Light Spear, only for a voice to stop her.

"I wouldn't do that, you flying sack of feathers!" Comes the voice from above. Standing on the streetlight is Naruto himself, his eyes sharp as his right hand is outstretched with a green/blue swirling sphere of intense energy hovering over the palm, the sphere being orbited by three smaller ones. "Try it, and you'll see just what a Planetary Rasengan can do."

"I don't have time for this! I should notify HIM before coming back to kill you, Devil. Then I will kill you, Human!" The Fallen Angel snarls out before she quickly blasts away at high speeds out of the area. T-thank you! The bubbling sky and sicking feeling vanishing too. The only evidence of her being there are the pieces of shredded clothing.
However the red haired Child Of Prophecy notices a black Seal on the base of Kalawarner's neck, causing his eyes to narrow in suspicion.

Naruto then banishes his violently rotating Chakra spheres before suddenly appearing next to the tense but happy Issei. "You keep finding yourself in all sorts of situations, don't you? And I thought my luck was bad when it came to people hunting my ass." Naruto jokes as he pats the similar sized teen's back, before removing a fragment Kalawarner's broken bra from Issei's shoulder, chuckling at the blush on Issei's face because of that.

"Hello to you too." Issei returns sarcastically with a smile. He then drops his mood and hugs the red head, quivering in distress. "W-what's going on with everyone I care about, N-naruto? First my Girlfriend kills me, and then my former Teacher tries to do the same… did I do something wrong in my life?" He shouts, tears welling up in his eyes, but he tries to keep a strong front for his friend.

"Don't be silly, Issei." Naruto says soothingly as he holds him softly. "You didn't do anything wrong. But listen… I think something is controlling Kalawarner, and I believe it could be the same with your Girlfriend too. Think to what happened just now with your Teacher, she was alright until when?" The red head questions, hoping that the destabilised Issei will connect the dots.

"W-well… with Yuuma everything was going well for the two weeks we dated, however she felt different on the final day, the day I was stabbed… she tried not to make physical contact with… me…" Issei realises with a startled gasp and choked breath. His eyes widening as he comes to the answer.

"You are correct. Just now I saw a Seal on Kalawarner's neck. I think someone put a switch on both her and your Girlfriend… to only change and try to kill you should they touch you. I think someone is trying to kill you, maybe for that Sacred Gear you have." Naruto explains, seeing as all the dots connect to that conclusion. Especially since how the Fallen Angel reacted to Issei's gauntlet like it was the next plague. Which is strange, since Azazel loves these things. "Just remember that not everyone is bad, Ise, not all Fallen are evil. I mean, there are some Devils I've encountered that are almost Angels with how nice and kind they are. Seriously though, the stereotypical Devil apparently likes sacrificing virgins and wants to enslave/destroy all of Humanity, but you and those from Kuoh Academy haven't done that. But alas I've met some bastard Devils too who I destroyed without mercy. What I'm saying is, don't judge a race or group by the actions of one or two people. Your Girlfriend and Teacher still love and care for you, and we will save them. I promise." Naruto declares to him with intense passion and conviction.

Staying still for a moment and digesting the words of the now red haired friend of his, Issei soon pulls away from Naruto as he realises their close proximity, an embarrassed blush burning across his face. "Sorry for hugging you, and thank you so much." He clears his throat before remembering something. "Naruto, listen. I was asked to take you to see Rias when I encountered you next. So, can you follow me to the ORC?" He borderline begs, not wanting to fail another task given to him by his President. Since he's failed one and now pissed off the Fallen again.

Sensing something behind him, Naruto smirks and shakes his head. "No need. Since the party is here." He says before turning around to face all the members of the Occult Research Club in all their glory. Naruto then waves cheerfully at them. "Hello!" Although he blushes faintly at seeing Akeno there. I swear to GOD!

Most of the Peerage sweat drop at the casual response, with Akeno giggling at the cheerful innocence of the red haired boy.
Before Rias can greet the strange male, Gasper quickly runs and jumps towards Naruto.

"SAGE NARU!" He shouts before hugging the red head tightly.

Naruto looks at the younger crossdressing male and pats his head. "Hey there, Time Skip Gasper. Good to see you outside of your mind." The True Sage Smiles at the boy. "Has everything been well with you?" He gets a rapid yet shy nod from the smaller male.

Rias looks on with the widest eyes, discovering that the spirit that Gasper said had helped him control his Forbidden Balor View Sacred Gear is the same person who she is contemplating getting into her Peerage. "Y-you're the one who helped him? How did you do it?" She enquires with urgency and with grateful intent. However she can pick up something strange from him, but she puts it in the back of her mind for now.

Looking over to the crimson haired Devil for a moment, Naruto replies to her truthfully. "I used Senjutsu along with Ninshu. I found him using a version of Sage Mode by tracking sadness and worry through the plants and world. Then I used Ninshu to connect to his spiritual energy and appear in his mind. From there I kept working with him to control his Time Powers, since all power can be controlled and practiced through sweat and hard work. It took a while, but Gasper was able to control it." He informed the heiress with an inviting smile that speaks nothing but good intention.

"You guided me, Naruto." Gasper mutters shyly with a nervous smile.

"But you did all the work." Naruto argued humbly, since it was all Gasper in the end and how much dedication he put into training that paid off.
Naruto is then caught off-guard when Rias jumps at him and embraces him tightly, causing him to blush as her body presses against his. He somehow wraps an arm around her too, with poor Gasper being smooshed between them. The smaller boy's suffering though causes Akeno to chuckle almost sadistically.

"Thank you for helping my family member." Rias confesses, showing genuine care and happiness because now her family can all roll out and spend time together. She then pulls back and coughs into her hand with a faint blush.

"I can't tell if I should be proud or jealous of you, Naruto." Issei comments with an annoyed tone of voice as he tries to figure out his feelings about the matter. The white haired female of the group then addresses him.

"Pervert." Koneko says coldly as she turns her attention back to Naruto. Since he mentioned something about a Sage Mode.

Ignoring the remark, for the most part, Rias cocks her head to the side. "Sage Mode?"

Closing his eyes for a moment and taking a short and relaxing breath, Naruto quickly gathers Senjutsu as an orange pigmentation appears around his eyes and on his eyelids. His signature mixes with that of nature around them as he takes in the natural energies around them, making him seem even more invisible to their senses. He then flares some of his Senjutsu power in surprise to the others, with some shuddering and in awe of his power. His wave of power sends a shockwave through nature too. He then opens his eyes to show his light orange ocular orbs with Toad-like pupils, displaying nothing but incredible power. "This is Sage Mode, well one form of it anyway." Nature around them seems to vibrate and sing in response.

Rias shudders at the power being released, and being so close to it. But also because how warm the Chakra/Senjutsu feels. However she notices his eyes; grave eyes, pained eyes. They're like my Brother's own when he thinks back to the Great War and the Devil Civil War… what happened to you?
Issei can't help but be jealous of his friend's incredible power. But he knows that something must have happened for Naruto to have gained such power in the first place, and it makes him worried. What did you go through? I can see the horrors of something terrible in your eyes.
Gasper is used to it, but it's still a surprise as he just wants to fold in on himself.
Yuuto has some sweat running down his head at the sensation of Naruto's power, even though it feels protective.
Akeno however rubs her thighs together and licks her lips at the incredible show of power, pure dominating power.
Koneko though reveals her Neko features to the world, her white Cat ears and tail revealing themselves as she purrs contently with wide eyes.

Elsewhere though on top of short building, a black Cat with golden eyes overlooking a Fish Shop freezes upon sensing someone use Senjutsu, and a slightly different variation to her own. The feline looks up, its future meal now forgotten as tries to track the Senjutsu origin. Senjutsu? But who can use so much of it, nya? And is that Chakra too? I must find who you are. I hope you're cute and a hunk, nya! Just before she can take off though, a Magic Circle that looks like an infinity symbol opens up under her and teleports her away. Nya?

Back with the others, Koneko realises something, Naruto mentioned it was ONE form of it. "One form of it?" She barely breathes out as she eyes him inquisitively with sharp eyes. "H-how can you stop the negative feeling?" Koneko also asks tightly, as she can't feel anything bad coming from the boy. If anything she's a little jealous, because when she tapped into it years ago she felt nothing but rage and hatred. Yet here's this Human using Senjutsu and not succumbing to the Earth's darkness.

Looking at the Neko tenderly, knowing that she must have gone through something to make her scared of using it. He can tell she has the power to use it, but it hasn't been tapped in a LONG time. "I have a higher form of Senjutsu above this one, my current one was taught to me by Toad Sages back home. But with the negative feeling… it's more than one answer. You see I conquered my darkness and accepted it, I become one with nature itself and not abuse it where as most people on this world just take it without care, and I am calm when I balance the Senjutsu with my Chakra. It picks on your emotional state too, trust me. Plus you need control with my Senjutsu, or any form of it, since too much and you will turn to stone or gain animal features in the case of mine. You don't want a wort-y face, trust me." Naruto replies honestly with seriousness, however he ends with a chuckle, recalling all the near fatal attempts at mastering Sage Mode with Jiraiya during the training trip.

"So your other form is the True Sage Mode? May we see it?" Issei requests in awe, almost pleading to see the power of his best friend.
Plus it might give him a goal to reach so he stand beside Naruto as an equal and battle together against all the people who dare stand against them.

Looking at the brunet for a moment, Naruto looks down and takes a deep breath as his Sage Mode vanishes. Closing his eyes again for even less time than before, his eyes open to reveal the difference in ocular appearance with the iris being yellow as his pupils take on a cross-like shape. Unlike before though when Naruto flared his power, when he does it this time it FLOORS everyone at the intense, their expressions show just how startled they are as nature around them seems to almost glow this time and even grow healthier. "Six Paths Sage Mode." Naruto explains with a relaxed smile as he taps all of them on the head so that their bodies can handle it, allowing them to all stand up again. Although Akeno is panting in what can only be described as pleasure, with Koneko just purring and figuratively swimming in the wave of his almost divine Chakra and Senjutsu.
Not knowing that someone far away is in shock at the familiar aura and power that he is giving off.
Naruto then shuts down his Six Paths Sage Mode and his eyes return to their loving blue. "No doubt you all have questions. We'll go to my house, it's not far from here. You are all welcome to spend the night too." Naruto says with a wide grin before he turns around and begins walking away.

"What shall we do, President?" Yuuto asks as he moves into a protective front and gets ready to Summon his Swords in case Naruto suddenly attacks the Peerage. Barely catching a pouting Koneko hide her Neko features after much difficulty.

Biting her lip in contemplation for a moment, Rias quickly decides to run after Naruto, the rest of the ORC following after her as they reach the red haired Sage and keep pace with him. The group not making much talk on the way to Naruto's house, although the protective aura of Naruto doesn't vanish.

Floating above a section of the Great Wall, an adult looking Ophis is looking on with wide eyes, having felt the extremely familiar presence on Earth, one that has now suddenly vanished again. It was the same signature she detected a year ago, but she wasn't able to lock it down. Now though it's a different story. It's the energy of her first friend, the one who she misses dearly. The one who stopped talking all of a sudden many years ago.
She mostly looks the same, clothing wise, just with more ribbons and strings, and a black open Lolita dress. Her body however is more womanly as she's in the form of an adult female, and her hair now reaches past her butt. She also wears a loose black veil.

"Asura. You came here?" The Ouroboros Dragon indifferently questions as warmth rushes to her face, with more warmth generating in her chest. However those positive emotions and thoughts are soon shadowed by negative ones. "What happened to you? Why didn't you speak to me again after that meeting?" Ophis calms down quickly from the emotional high as she looks over to the direction of Japan.
As much as she wants to go visit Asura herself, she can't. With her controlling the Khaos Brigade and issues with locating her spawn called Lilith, she doesn't have the time. So with that thought in mind, she used her Magic Circle to Summon a valued and reliable member, one personally from the only group in the Khaos Brigade she can stand. "Kuroka, I have an important mission for you."

The black Cat sitting on the Great Wall next to Ophis then transforms.
Kuroka is a 20 year old beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair with split bangs and two large hoops, along with hazel-gold eyes with Cat-like pupils. Her attire consists of a black kimono, a yellow obi, a set of golden beads, and an ornately detailed headband. The kimono features a red interior and it is open at her shoulders, giving view to her large breasts. She also wears black and purple sandals. Her Nekomata features are exposed too, which are pair of black Cat ears and two black tails.
"Nya. What do you need, Ophis? Is it something to do with that Senjutsu wave?" She replies as she stretches, working out the kinks in her body after being stuck in her Cat form for ages. Of course Kuroka felt the massive secondary wave of Senjutsu that followed the first one, and she was amazed at just how rich and powerful it was. It even dwarfed the first burst, and both came from the same location and same person due to the signature.
Now she just wants to find that person even more.

"Yes. I want you to find them for me, and call me when you do locate them. When you find them, call them by the name of Asura Otsutsuki. Whatever you do, don't fight him." The Infinite Dragon God further says apathetically, however she ends sharply and with warning in her monotone voice. Although Ophis knows for a fact that Kuroka will test Asura anyway.
Poor Kuroka.

"Sure thing, nya! Can I check on Shirone too whilst I'm there?" The Nekoshou asks as she opens her vibrant purple Magic Circle to leave.

"So long as you focus on the mission, you can do what you want." Ophis replies as she keeps her intense eyes in the direction of Japan.

"Thanks, nya." Kuroka then vanishes through the Magic Circle and makes tracks to Kuoh to find this powerful being seemingly made from Chakra and Senjutsu. Although the Neko wonders why Ophis is so interested in him. Maybe another member for the Khaos Brigade? That near endless power alone was enough to garner a position. But from the way Ophis spoke of Asura, she isn't wanting him in the group.
Oh well, at least Kuroka can have some fun with Asura before contacting the Dragon God.

Well, here we are; my newest Fan Fiction attempt. I recently got into High School DxD, and I'm absolutely enjoying it. But I was shocked at the amount of Crossover Fan Fiction I discovered, so I thought I'd give it a bash. So go a bit easy on me with regards to the DxD side of things, since I'm still playing catch up and only know bits and bobs of later arcs.
There won't be any bashing in this too. I'm trying to depict the characters the best I can, some more extreme than others.
Of course I have altered some characters, like Issei, a fair bit since I don't really care for how he acts in canon for the most part. Plus it might be refreshing.

Harem(s):
Issei = Aika Kiryuu, Asia Argento, Kalawarner, Kiyome Abe, Le Fay Pendragon, (older) Lilith (maybe), Mittelt, Ravel Phenex, Raynare Amano, and Tsubasa Yura (maybe).
Naruto = Akeno Himejima, Irina Shidou, Koneko (Shirone) Toujou, (older) Kunou (maybe), Kuroka, Ophis (maybe), Rias Gremory, Rossweisse, Xenovia Quarta, and Yasaka.

Naruto forms:
Base, Sage Mode, Partial Transformation (All Tailed Beasts), Partial Transformation (All Tailed Beasts)(w/Sage Mode), Nine Tails Chakra Mode, Nine Tails Chakra Mode (w/Sage Mode), Tailed Beast Mode (All Tailed Beasts), Tailed Beast Mode (All Tailed Beasts)(w/Sage Mode), Six Paths Sage Mode, and Asura Mode. (Maybe another down the line.)

Naruto Battle Avatars: All Tailed Beasts, Asura Influenced Tailed Beasts, Asura Battle Avatar.

Tailed Beasts: Zero-Tails, Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, Yang Kurama, Yin Kurama, and Kurama Clone. (Maybe another down the line.)
And yes, I've added the Zero-Tails as one. I also added the Kurama Clone because it's badass, to me anyway.
