Alright so I have actually been given good reason to write this version of THE RETURN OF PRIDE (THOUGH AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS NAMED DIFFERENTLY) so I hope that this actually suits all my reader's better. Anyways I have been getting mixed reviews for the Original version of this but most of it is mainly questions that ask me 'what is this?' and 'why is that?' so I just have to try harder. Anyways please enjoy
Summary: All great legends start somewhere, it is how they end that doesn't matter, but how they come to end that does. The Legend of the Glorious Sun Master is one that is sure to go down in history for sure. Curious, was the sun always so bright?
Sunshine Naruto. Naruto x Harem. Naruto x Sona x Tsubaki x Akeno x Rias x Kuroka x Xenovia x Rossweisse x Yasaka x Koneko x Ravel, Boosted Gear Naruto
Grace, a powerful ability bestowed to the greatest warriors of heaven. Long ago, there were four of these said Grace's. Lightning, Twister, Sea, and the mightiest of all them; Sun. However, when a Great War broke out long before the current era, one of these Graces was taken and awaited for the perfect holder. One whose heart was pure and caring for others. It would wait for well over 3000 years before a man named Escanor was born to bestow itself on him. This Grace was the strongest of Graces, and it had chosen him to be it's carrier. And it was thanks to this that the Legend of the Glorious Sun begun, but not end.
Sunshine, had blessed itself into his very flesh and had allowed him access to unfathomable power and strength for the day, and at noon he was untouchable by both man or god for the entirety of high noon, although such a powerful Grace as strong as Sunshine certainly had its drawbacks. For during his last stand, Escanor had used a forbidden spell to not only enhance his mighty form of High Noon, but he had made it so that it would transform his life energy into the necessary magic required to keep it functioning, and when the last of his energy had died, he burst into ash before his comrades very eyes.
But, not before leaving a message, "The Lion, will be reborn in the midst of sorrow and misery." and he passed on to the next life, allowing his Grace to return to the cycle of reincarnation to wait for a worthy holder to fight with it in battle. It would also wait for 3000 years before the perfect child was born to hold it and fight using its strength.
His comrade in arms and the woman he loved unconditionally wept for him for days, but it was on the sixth day of her mourning that she was overcome with nauseousness. She couldn't understand why she was sick as her magic prevented it, and then she remembered. She and the other's had gotten so drunk that they had all blacked out. She had awoken in Escanor's chamber the next morning stark naked next to him and she had quickly left without saying anything and this was the day before they had gone to battle the demon king…
She quickly began to use her magic to check why she was so sick just to confirm her suspicions, and she could only cry tears of joy when they were indeed confirmed true, she was pregnant with Escanor's child.
Nine months later she would give birth to a set of healthy twins, one boy and one girl. The son she named after his father in honor of his memory and her daughter was named Morgan Le Fay. Both her children would grow up to be powerful fighters, but her daughter definitely took after her in the art of magic. Escanor II was definitely a fighter at heart and he held his name with great pride, much like his father, and had become a holy knight in his father's memory. And upon reaching her 18th birthday, Morgan married Arthur of Camelot as his bride and sired several children in the following years. Escanor himself had married a lovely bride and had settled down to farm the lands so he could look after his brood of surprisingly 10 kids, all twins, for the remainder of his days.
Time moved on and the legend of the Great War faded into myth and legend as the Legend of Arthur and many scarcely believed it to be true.
This tale, is the tale of the last remaining descendant of Escanor the Lion Sin of Pride, one that would live through the ages of history forever.
-Present day-
Rain poured down from the heavens, weeping as if knowing sorrow would fall upon someone. He sat on the roof of the adjacent house, waiting, watching. These were the last remnants of a dangerous house and he had been so happy to find out that the other's had been wiped out by his allies. With this, and possible threats would be cleansed.
From what he was told, it was a family of three. The parents, of course, and a newborn infant that could be molded if he wanted, but he would rather wipe out the possible threat just to be safe. He smirked as he watched the car pull into the driveway, and a blonde man with a lovely redhead that could rival a Gremory climbed out of the car before grabbing the carseat that held their bundle of joy. It was finally time to put an end to the Arthurian Legends of old once and for all.
This would be so fun, killing the last remnants of the knights of the table.
Waiting until they went inside, he silently jumped off the roof of the house and walked across the street and up the driveway to the house. He silently opened the door and simply allowed himself in, regardless if he was invited or not. He smirked as he heard the two parents in the living room and the baby in its own room or maybe even a crib nearby, this would be perfect. He walked into the door of the room and cleared his throat, "Hello dear madam. My name is Rizevim Lucifer, son of Lucifer himself, and I shall be the one to put an end to your miserable lives today." he greeted her.
"It doesn't matter if you are the son of Lucifer or God himself, get out of this house!" the redhead yelled out as she turned around to face him, her hair flying about in her anger.
Rizevim simply snorted as he held his hand up and pointed at her, "Dare to attack me, and you won't get far human." he stated.
"Oh yeah, well we'll see about that!" she yelled as she grabbed a sword, it looked oddly familiar to Rizevim but he couldn't place where he had seen it, from the fireplace mantle and pointed it at him.
"How pathetic, to use a piece of scrap against me." he said as he pulsed his power and it suddenly fell from her grip shocking her.
"W-What the, why can't I grip the sword?" she asked herself in shock.
Rizevim gave a dark laugh, "Surprising isn't it. The power of the Legendary Commandments that the dark half of my Grandfather created. This one in particular is called Benevolence. It prevents those with hatred in their hearts from hurting anyone in my presence. I have others in my possession, but they are currently out on loan to some… associates of mine for the time being. I am still looking for three other's to loan out the Commandments to while I hold on to the Commandment of Benevolence as it is so useful to me at the moment." he said in a bone chilling voice.
The redhead merely glared at Rizevim, "I don't care. So what, you have some strange voodoo ability that forbids me from holding my ancestor's sword Caliburn. I'll still make you pay for threatening my family." she called out.
Rizevim merely raised a brow, so that's why the sword looked familiar, it was the legendary Sword of Kings. It was the sword that Arthur himself pulled from the stone. Many thought that it was Excalibur that was pulled from the stone, but it was in truth Caliburn that he had pulled from the stone. Oh sure the Excalibur had been in a stone, but the stone that held Caliburn was the one that only sealed itself until it chose a wielder. Legend has it that the souls of previous holders sealed their very memories inside so that the next wielder could learn their power and grow infinitely stronger.
After all, this sword was the most powerful sword in existence. With no less than 15 different holders and 1000 techniques created and improved by each holder, it was a sword meant for killing even gods.
Rizevim smirked, "Impressive. To think that such a powerful weapon would find itself here. I can only imagine what your ancestor would say if he saw it." he said, "But then again, the last living relative of Arthur Pendragon is only capable of holding the sword due to the blood in their veins. Not really what you would call 'worthiness' but more along the lines of 'I am the descendant of such a hero it qualifies me to hold it' so it is basically a cheat to hold it. You aren't even really worthy of holding it as Arthur would be able to resist my Commandment and even strike me down without moving from his spot. How pathetic." he said as he created a sword out of his dark magic and allowed it to float from his hands.
"I hope you said your prayers cuz this the end." he said as he sent it flying forward where it pierced the redhead in her belly.
The woman coughed up blood before she fell to her knees beside the ancient sword and glared at him, "Go to hell, you monster." she said before she fell to the ground in a puddle of blood.
"Hmph, I was born there, so I don't need to." Rizevim responded before he walked through the house. He had thought the husband was in the room with the wife, but apparently he had been wrong. He was curious though, how did a descendant of Morgan Le Fay meet up with a descendant of that man and procreate? It is certainly unheard of, and he had never thought it would happen. Apparently small miracles did happen in the strangest way.
He shook his head and walked through the house and spotted the husband in the kitchen with his back to him, "You seem awfully calm for a man about to die." Rizevim noted.
"Although I may be about to die, the sun shall never set, as a new dawn approaches. The Grace has long since been bestowed to the one worthy of it, and it will light the darkness for all who seek fulfillment in God's light. Do as you wish, for I am ready to meet my maker." the blonde said as he got to his knees.
Rizevim shrugged. He could ponder what the man meant later, but right now he had a family line to extinguish. Crafting another sword using his magic he thrust it through the man from behind and watched as he fell dead and then left his cooling corpse to search for the brat. It didn't take long cuz the sound of crying could be heard from the room down the hall. So he decided to take his time going to the babe. When he reached the room to the newborn he smirked when he noticed a tuft of orange hair in the crib. He honestly didn't have anything against the child, but he just wanted to be sure that there would be no resistance when he brought the world to its knees when he ended the world. Pulling out a shimmering dagger he raised it up over his head and brought it down.
However, what even Rizevim didn't expect was a blistering heat to burst forth as a ball of flame struck him in the face forcing him to drop his dagger as he cried out in pain, and as the searing heat burnt his flesh, he could see-if only just-a man holding his hand out towards him as the words, 'You shall not touch him' were uttered by the spirit of one Escanor as he guarded his last descendant with his very will from the beyond.
Rizevim glared at the apparition before he simply turned around and left the house as fire began to lick at the walls of the house. Hmph, so the brat managed to summon a bit of fire, so what? Now he'd burn to ash with his parents. Escanor looked down at the child and smiled, and then he walked to the living room, the spirits form flickering as he stopped at the mother's body. Placing a hand on his heart he nodded to her and picked up the sword next to her and proceeded to vanish into thin air, taking Caliburn with him. As he vanished he thought back to the babe in his crib, 'A worthy one indeed. He shall inherit more than my power in the future. I see many great things happening with him.' thought the spirit as his form broke into particles of light and spread across the newborn's body.
First response quickly arrived at the burning house and put the flames out. They soon found the bodies of both parents and the still crying babe in his crib. The funeral for one Kushina Uzumaki Pendragon and Minato Namikaze Pride was a sorrowful event for both friends and relatives. But in the end none were able to claim custody for little Naruto who was soon placed in an orphanage.
As he grew, he soon learned that he had been given some strange ability. It only showed itself during the day, but he knew that growing big enough to stand at an adult man's height at five was certainly not normal. So, the matriarch of the orphanage kept him hidden around the afternoon hours, making him feel more depressed that nobody would adopt him. But he also figured that nobody would simply because of his curse.
-5 years later-
He sat in the park all on his own with a downtrodden look on his face. Why did nobody want to play with him? Was it because of his strange transformation during the day, or was it because they saw him as a freak of nature. Why had God cursed him with a curse like this, it was unfair. Why wouldn't anyone play with him? The sound of approaching footsteps alerted him causing the ginger haired boy to turn. He notices that it is four young girls roughly the same age as him. Three of them have jet black hair, but the length of their hair differs. One is cropped at the shoulders while the other two have hair that is is able to reach the middle of their back.
The redhead has hers long enough to reach her back but it is kept in a braid of sorts to make it seem neat and proper. The one thing he did notice was that their outfits were practically the same. The only difference was the color scheme they had. The redhead had a red dress that went to her knees and had a white ribbon around the waist. The short black haired girl had a blue dress with a pink ribbon. The black haired girl that had waist length hair wore a green dress with a white ribbon. And the last girl had a purple dress with a red ribbon. Sheesh it was like he was staring at sisters or something.
"H-H-Hello." he greeted shyly.
"Hi/Hello/Greetings/Good afternoon." they all greeted back.
"Uh, what do you want? Are you here to make fun of my curse or are you here to play?" he asked warily.
This got looks of confusion from the quartet of young maidens before they pushed that to a side, they could find out what he meant later. However the redhead answered first, "No, we're just here to play. We don't know about a curse." she said honestly. She then shook her head, "My names Rias, Rias Grmeory. THis here is Akeno." she said pointing to the girl in a purple dress, "And this is Sona, Sona Sitri." she said motioning to the girl with a bob haircut before motioning to the girl with two different colored eyes, "And this is Tsubaki Shinra." she introduced everyone.
"N-Naruto Pendragon. S-So, you you don't mind playing with a monster like me?" he asked hopefully.
This caused the short haired young girl to give a giggle, "You're funny. There's no such thing as a monster." she said to him.
"B-But, the lady at the orphanage says I'm cursed. She says I can't be adopted by anyone because I am a monster." said the young boy.
"Ara Ara, you are anything but a monster." the young girl with a purple dress told him.
"Yeah, to me you look like a normal boy." the other girl said.
"Seeing the mood about to turn somber, the redhead simply spoke up before anything else depressing could be said, "Why don't we play a game of tag?" she asked.
"Yeah, but who will be it?" the bob haired girl asked.
"He will. That way he can have a turn first and then we can play in order of age." the redhead said smiling.
The other little ladies quickly agreed, much to the boys confusion, and then the game begun, after they taught him how to play tag like they knew how to play, and the day was soon filled with laughter.
Until noon that is.
Naruto felt his body heating up, and he felt his eyes widen in terror as he looked up to the sky. He felt his heart skip a beat, he needed to get out of here before they saw his transformation. He couldn't let his friends see him when he turned into the monster. He quickly stopped running after his new friends and begun to run into the woods that surrounded most of the park, the grass underfoot drying up and turning brown as it died. He pushed past many trees to try and get away from the area lest he be discovered by the girls. He couldn't, he just couldn't, let them see him during noon. He pushed past a tree and he felt his fear rise as he watched the tree topple over as he hit it with his shoulder.
The curse was getting worse. Noon was almost upon him, and he still hadn't fled far enough yet. He had to reach the grotto, just until he reached the grotto. Be burst through the foliage and hit his knees as he collapsed. Damn, he was too late. He felt his shirt burst into flame as his muscles bulged with unrestrained might. Fire licked across his body as the sun reached its peak. THE ONE, had reappeared. He gave a cry as he rose up and begun to run again, the ground burning away as he ran on. Where was the grotto, why hadn't he reached it yet?! He gave a grunt as he pushed a tree to the side and then felt himself falling freely through the air.
A crash and he felt himself land, but he remained unscathed as he was currently invulnerable to all forms of harm. This minute of high noon was his curse, and he couldn't stand it. It was the longest minute of hell he had ever experienced in his life. Climbing to his feet, he charged forward intent to find the grotto. He just had to find the grotto and remain there for fifteen minutes to allow his body to cool down enough so he could return. Unbeknownst to the boy, four figures flew above him and watched as he run through the foliage. They could only marvel his transformation and ask themselves why they had never met anyone with as much magic as a Maou before.
However they soon felt as his power begun to wane as the sun moved out of its position of noon. This was perplexing. How was he getting weak all of a sudden if he had just been as powerful as two of their leader's not even a moment ago. Was this the curse he spoke of? They soon watched as he collapsed to his knees breathing roughly before he allowed himself to roll onto his back to look up at the sky while he seemed to not notice them above. Why. Why did his curse have to make him so strange? The four devils, well three and a half as there was a hybrid amongst them, all looked at one another before a unspoken agreement was made.
If he wanted to reveal this secret to them willingly, they had to reveal their true nature to him as well. Returning to the playground they waited for Naruto to return. Acting as if he hadn't run off they resumed their playing as if there was nothing wrong. Of course when one dealt with five year old's nothing ever went the way you planned cuz, they're five years old. So when the time for Naruto to leave came, the girls bid him farewell til the morrow and then Rias, the redhead, and Sona, the bob haired girl, found their siblings and told them about the boy with strange abilities that made him grow strong as them at noon and weaker as sunset approached.
Of course, thinking that Rias and Sona were using their imaginations, Sirzechs Lucifer and Serafall Leviathan thought nothing of it. The next day came soon enough and the girl's met up once again with Naruto. Seeing his new, and possibly only, friends approach Naruto gave a happy wave, "Hi girls." he said happily.
"Hi Naruto-kun." Akeno said smiling.
"You guys ready to play a game of hide and seek?" he asked hopefully.
"Yeah, let's do this." Rias said smiling.
And soon the game of hide and seek begun. And then, noon approached with swift feet. As Naruto felt his transformation begin again, he swiftly took off towards the place he called the grotto. And this time, the girls followed behind just as he left. As naruto reached the grotto, a lovely place that had a waterfall and lovely garden of sorts, the girls burst through just as Naruto collapsed. Rias walked up and stopped several feet away, his body heat to much to handle, "Naruto-kun, is this why you ran off yesterday?" she asked him.
"This is my burden. And you shouldn't have followed me here. This is the only place that can contain this curse. If it were to get out of control you could get hurt or worse." he said to her.
"Naruto-kun, while we didn't say this yesterday, do you think we could reveal a secret of our own?" Sona asked him.
"What secret, how your mother and father left you after a curse was given and wanted nothing to do with you?" he asked as tears of anger spilled from his eyes. That was what the orphanage matriarch told him. How his parents must have hated him enough to simply drop him off at the doorstep.
Akeno gave a sad sigh as she watched his noon form fade away, "Well, no, but it is a secret that is much like your own." she said as the other's nodded, "See, we're not exactly humans." she said poking her fingers together.
Naruto gazed to the lovely girl in confusion, "What do you mean?" he asked.
Several pops later and the four girls unveiled their wings to him, "We're devils, Naruto-kun. Much like you we have gifts as well." Tsubaki said as she created a mirror using her Mirror Alice power from her Sacred Gear.
Rias held up her hand an conjured a small ball using her Power of Destruction while Sona called up a ball of water and Akeno created several sparks of lightning, "Your power isn't a curse. It's a gift that is meant to be used. How you use it depends on you, and if you use it for the greater good then you can become a hero to many." she told him with gentle smile on her face.
"R-Really? Do you think I can make this curse work good enough to become a hero?" he asked.
"Of course." Rias smiled at him before getting to her feet.
As the day ended, the children all bid each other farewell and Naruto returned to the orphanage. As he entered the door, the old lady that ran the place scoffed at the young man, "And so you came back from playing with those so called friends did ya demon?" she asked.
"Yeah, and they are my friends Gilda-san, so never doubt for a moment that they aren't." he said to her.
"That hubris can get you hurt. Remember this though, as long as you have that cursed power of yours, no one will love you. You will forever be alone, and unloved." she told him before she walked away.
Later that night a blue glow filtered into Naruto's room before one Sona Sitri appeared beside his bed. In her hand he held a solitary Rook piece that allowed her to turn normal humans or even devil's or fallen angel's into her peerage member's. Placing her hand over his chest she recited her chant and watched as the piece sunk into Naruto's chest with a smile. Such a powerful peerage member would certainly be worth using a Rook Piece.
Time moved on and Naruto would eventually learn of his place in Sona's Peerage as a rook. Although he didn't like that she had turned him unwillingly, her reasoning was simple. To allow him to grow and make other's learn to believe in his power. To turn his cursed gift into a beacon of hope. Of course after hearing her reason he immediately loved the idea and traveled to the Underworld with her to see the sights she spoke of time and again. It was there he met one Ajuka Beelzebub and showed him his hated power. It took mere moments for the genius to figure out how to suppress his powers and create a gadget just for that purpose.
And now 11 years had passed and Naruto had been enrolled to the formerly all girl school of Kuoh Academy. It had changed to allow boys to enroll, but this allowed the more perverse of them in due to the young men wanting harems for themselves. Naruto however went to the school to look after his greatest friends. Akeno Himejima, Rias Gremory, Sona Sitri his King, and Tsubaki Shinra the queen of the peerage he was part of. Of course with all the perverts attending someone had to run interference for the girls' sanity, and who better to do that than a honest gentleman like Naruto Pendragon.
Of course he never got the memo of the job as middle man would be a rough one.
There were three persistent... young men (Read: Cockroaches of the school) that attended, and it had been deemed a miracle that they had yet to be expelled from the school. Naruto simply called them the perverted idiots, the school had dubbed them The Perverted Trio. He had once again run into them peeping on the Kendo Club and had simply tied their shoes together before he had nicely notified the young women of what the trio were doing. Of course it was just so fun to watch as three dumb perverts get the snot beat out of them and he couldn't help but give a satisfied smirk each time it happened.
Naruto could care less about what happened to three simpletons and went his merry way. As one of Two Great Gentlemen of Kuoh Academy, Naruto merely saw it as his duty to ensure the girls had it easy, and he would certainly put perverts in their spot if it meant that other's could have peace of mind. Walking through a door he smiled as he saw a woman he loved more than anything, but unfortunately could not have, reading a piece of scripture. He knocked on the wall to let her know he was there and she looked up, "Sona-sama, I am here." he told her politely.
"So you are. Was there any problems in your excursion last night with the stray devil?" she asked him.
"None, but then again they cannot match the might as one such as I, even when the sun has gone down for some rest." boasted the young man smiling.
Sona smiled softly as she heard her rook. He was proud, no doubt about that one, but he would only answer to one out of five people personally. One was of course herself as his [KING] of the peerage he had been brought into. The others were Rias, Tsubaki, Akeno, and Ajuka-sama. He simply said he would listen to the Green haired as he had found a solution for his curse to be held back for the day. The necklace he wore around his neck acted as a suppressant, sealing away all his power for the day and it stored it inside for later uses. He of course had a different item to use, but that was strictly for Rating Games they would later participate in.
He respected those that respected him, and for those that didn't he simply ignored. The worst of those he did not respect were of course the Perverted Trio: Issei Hyoudou, Matsuda and Motohama. And let it not be said that Naruto didn't enjoy torture cuz those three were constantly on his list of those to torment. Sona nodded, "Very nice Naruto, so I assume you are here for another assignment before our newest recruit comes by?" she asked.
"If you deem it worthy then I shall accept regardless." Naruto said as he placed a hand to his chest like some old knight.
Sona gave a light giggle, he was so hapless with his sense of duty it was cute. No wonder Rias was considering doing the deed with him to get out of her arranged marriage with him. Maybe she should-no bad Sona, bad Sona no pervy thoughts. She shook her head and cleared her throat, "Well, seeing as Rias is scouting Issei as a possible member for her own peerage, and we have just brought Saji-san into the ring as one of us, I was thinking you can help Rias out by going to her and offering your help in bringing him in. And no, you can't smack him around for being a perv. As much as I hate to say it." she scowled causing him to scowl in annoyance as well.
"Hmph, very well it is as you desire Sona-sama, then I shall not... smack him around." he said reluctantly.
Sona nodded, "That's alright Naruto-kun. Now before I let you handle the rest of your classes, how was your night? Seeing as you hardly sleep unless it's time for day and night to transition around." she said.
"The night was a lovely breeze. But compared to-er herm, forgive me but uh, it was a delightful evening Lady Sona." he said as red tinged his cheeks from embarrassment. He had about to go into some poetry spiel there. Sona gave a light giggle at his reddening was just so cute to see him get flustered like that. Just when you thought he couldn't get embarrassed, this happened.
-1 week later-
Naruto nodded his head as he heard his master's words, "So Issei-san has become one of us, but he is only worth 7 pawns due to his Sacred Gear. Interesting." he said.
"Yeah, but he holds no potential as a fighter. His magic count is practically at zero and apparently he has only accepted his turning simply because he can create a harem if he gets strong enough. It's honestly disgusting to think about. And yes,while I realize there are devils that hold all female peerage's that is no way for a devil to simply want to gain ranking. it's so rude." Tsubaki said in disgust.
"So the only thing of value is the Sacred Gear residing in him?" Saji asked.
"Precisely Saji-san. Other than that he might as well be a ordinary human." Sona said.
Naruto cleared his throat, "Sona-sama, if I may ask, when do you wish for me to introduce myself as a devil to Issei-san?" he asked his [KING] politely.
"This evening if you would. Seeing as that is when the ORC gets together that should be the best time to do it." Sona told him.
"As you wish Sona-sama." Naruto said.
-Later that day-
Naruto walked into the old schoolhouse and then arrived at the room Rias and her group could usually be found in for the afternoons. He could hear voices in the room where Rias and the other's usually met meaning that they were introducing themselves to Issei. Opening the door he gave a wave, "And I have arrived, are you surprised?" he asked.
"Ara Ara, Naruto-kun shouldn't just barge in and make a commotion." Akeno said gently.
"B-B-Buchou, he's a Devil too?" Issei asked shocked, "Since when is the Gentleman of Kuoh Academy a freaking Devil?" he asked.
"Since 11 years ago." Naruto answered.
"It was a rhetorical question!" Issei shouted.
Rias sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose, "You will have to forgive Naruto, his Sacred Gear is either a unregistered or possibly even a new one, and we are still learning about it. One thing we do know is that it boosts his hubris to unbelievable levels. However, he is a part of a different peerage. He merely helps us train, and seeing as you are the newest addition, it's time to get you ready." she said as Naruto walked over to a cabinet and begun to rummage through it.
Walking back to the confused Issei Naruto explained what she meant, "My Sacred Gear allows me to harness the power of the sun for the entire day. As noon approaches my strength grows until noon reaches its peak. After that my power begins to dwindle until the night. I wear this necklace around my neck to store power and it has steadily gather power from the last eleven years since I have donned it. If I were to absorb the amount of energy from the necklace now I would be releasing the equivalent of seventeen nuclear bombs blowing at once. However if I merely unleashed part of my power I would be untouchable." he boasted as he walked over with a stack of papers, "Your first job as a devil, is to increase the number of contracts you have. It is simple." he said handing them to Issei.
"All you have to do is hand these flyers out to those with a abnormal amount of desire. They take the flyer and call you to do something for them. Upon doing what they want, you get paid. Nothing like the dark ages, but something that is easier to accept. Money, things of value or even things they do not need or want. There are exceptions to what we are willing to accept, but I am sure you understand." Naruto said.
"I get it. Hand the flyers out, go work, get paid. It really is simple." Issei said, "So when do I get a harem?" he asked.
Naruto snorted in disappointment, "You are nowhere near the level for such a reward. However, if you do manage to get promoted to High Class Devil then you may search out other member's for a peerage that can be a part of the dream you have conjured." he said before he turned to Rias and Akeno, "Rias-sama, Akeno-sama I shall take my leave. I was only here to explain the work of being a Devil and I have fulfilled my part. Sona-sama is expecting me soon and I have to hunt tonight and I must prepare."
"Yes, we'll see you there." Rias said as Naruto nodded and took his leave.
Issei looked at his master in confusion,"What does he mean hunt, hunt what?" he asked, "And who is Sona?" he asked.
"After you return here we are going to join Naruto and the peerage he is part of to take out a stray devil. You are going to need to know what happens for this hunt, but they will be explained when we reach the spot we need to be tonight. As for who Sona is, you will see tonight. Now, I believe you have something to do." she said looking to the stack of papers in the new devils hands.
Issei nodded his head and ran out the door to begin his journey to become Harem King. Akeno watched as her [King] gave a heavy sigh, "Rias, what's the matter?" she asked in concern.
"If it weren't for his Sacred Gear I wouldn't have even glanced at him. And now that he is one of us, I can't help but shudder each time he looks at me. It's so disgusting the way he glances at me, it makes my skin crawl. I feel like I am in Riser's presence each time he leers at me." she said shuddering.
"Well, why not extract his Sacred Gear and then give it to someone who can use it. Issei isn't all that special and he isn't worth more than a single pawn if he didn't have it." she said.
"Like who?" Rias asked.
"Well, Naruto-kun has always been talking about taking the necklace off due to it starting to reach the limit of its sealing ability and he could take it to use. And this does happen we can trade him between both your peerage and Sona's peerage. He will certainly deal with your problem with you know who."Akeno said.
"You know, I will have to discuss this with Sona. I think she might actually like it." Rias said smiling.
So yes, as you can see I am going to have the story betray Issei after the Riser Arc simply because he is so useless. Naruto having it will allow him to be able to fight during the night and during the day all he has to do is remove his suppressant. It is a perfect combination if I say so myself.
