I swear you guys make me want to cry tears of joy. So many wonderful reviews.

You know except that one guy who complained about Naruhina but I knew it was going to happen eventually.

Also, sorry that this chapter is so late but I dealt with many distractions, namely playing Naruto video games so this chapter was delayed despite the fact that it was basically done for almost two weeks now. So again I apologize for the delay.

Now on to review responses:

RikudoNaruto1:Technically this is in response to a PM because there were some . . . technical difficulties but anyway glad you like the story and I agree not enough stories try to connect the Naruto and DXD worlds; also the barrier was kind of necessary when you think about it otherwise the Devils would have been recruiting from there. Hope you continue to enjoy the story.

Devilscreed:Thank you for your review, it was honestly my favorite of the whole bunch. Also thank you for understanding why Issei is kind of necessary. I should probably have mentioned last chapter that Koneko will be in the harem but I kind of forgot about it in trying to defend the many clichés that were in that chapter so sorry about that. Also, sorry about not responding to your review in the previous chapter; I honestly don't know how I missed it.

Kit (Guest):From what I recall, Madara taught Obito how to use Yin-Yang Release before he died and it doesn't need a Rinnegan to use it, the Rinnegan just makes it easier. As for why Obito didn't put him into a Genjutsu or the like, because he wanted to see how strong Naruto was; that and because he just takes enjoyment out of being an asshole. Also, I thought I was obvious about this but Rin can't be in the harem due to the fact that she has been captured by the Akatsuki. She is also married.

shadespace:I know how you feel, Hinata ending up with anyone else just feels wrong.

Omnipotent Anomaly: Not going to lie, this review made me laugh and I don't even know why. Anyway when it comes to Obito and his reasons I was faced with a dilemma: part of me wanted to make him this understandable antagonist who was basically a good person just doing horrible things for the right reasons – you know, like how he should have been in Canon – and the other part wanted to make him a guy that sets kittens on fire because it amuses him. When I looked over my outline for the story I realized that I was making Obito too evil for the former and thus here we are.

Umbra Venator: Sorry about the Lee thing I completely forgot about that. As for Madara and Kaguya, you'll see. ;) Now, I forgot that the Elemental Nations are some sort of super continent so I shall now retcon. The Elemental Nations are encased in a time-space barrier crafted by the Rikudo Sennin that does not allow access to anyone not of EN descent.

FinalKingdomHearts: I know, that was the point. That and I just enjoy being evil.

To anyone I missed, thank you for your wonderful reviews. I really do appreciate them.

Now before I get to the chapter I think some of you misinterpreted what I said about Rias; it is not that I don't know how to get her and Naruto together, it is that I don't know how to keep her from being a background character after the initial romance.

I do not own Naruto, High School DXD or any other anime's I may or may not reference.

So, now that that is out of the way, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 2: Welcome to Kuoh Academy

'Here we go,' thought Naruto, 'the belly of the beast.'

Naruto Uzumaki, Konoha's Number One Knucklehead Ninja, stood in front of what he considered the gates to Hell. He stood there clad in the Kuoh Academy uniform, with the blazer and white dress shirt open to show an orange shirt with a red Uzumaki swirl in the middle. An orange book bag over his right shoulder and black sneakers with orange laces on his feet the Uzumaki prepared for his worst nightmare come to life: school.

I still feel like your overreacting, said Kyuubi, it isn't that bad.

'Say that to me after spending four years in a place like this with people the same age as you constantly making fun of you for your dream.'

. . .

Like I said I think your overreacting. Upon feeling Naruto's questioning gaze it elaborated, I told you Matatabi was a bitch, didn't I?

Naruto had nothing to say to that so he wisely kept his mouth shut; Matatabi was apparently a sore subject for the fox and not to be mentioned. The last time he did, it would not stop singing an off-key version of "The Song that Never Ends" until he apologized. It was not an experience he would enjoy re-experiencing.

With that he walked through the gates to Kuoh Academy. The school looked more like an expensive mansion than a place where students went to learn and because it recently went co-ed the number of girls vastly outnumbered the boys. Speaking of which, the girls that Naruto passed by all stopped what they were doing to stare at him.

'Why are they staring at me?' he thought to himself, slightly freaked out.

Well, it could be that because of your blonde hair and whisker marks they think you are some kind of delinquent, the Kyuubi inferred.

'Well that is just typical.'

Another explanation is that they are horrified by the amount of orange on you right now, it continued with an obvious amount of disdain, Seriously, what is your obsession with the colour?

'Hey, orange is an awesome colour,' Naruto defended.

Awesome or not, in your profession that colour is really stupid. The Kyuubi said, then continued, You know, because shinobi are supposed to be stealthy.

'This coming from the giant demon fox whose fur is orange?' Naruto asked, pointing out the hypocrisy in the fox complaining about his clothing choices.

Hey, do not dis my fur!

'Then don't dis my orange when you are no better!'

You want to know what the difference between you and I is?

'This should be good,' Naruto thought and waited for the inevitable.

On you orange looks stupid because as a shinobi wearing it is just screaming for someone to kill you! The Kyuubi criticized and then added, Which means you are putting me in danger as well.

'And on you?' Naruto lead in to see where the fox was going with this.

On me it is damn intimidating!

. . .

'Okay, you are going to have to explain that one to me.'

As you so kindly pointed out earlier, the fox began sarcastically, I am a GIANT. DEMON. FOX. I couldn't be stealthy even if I wanted to be, but then again I don't need to be given that I am basically a walking force of nature. So instead, the fact that people can see me coming from a mile away, scares the crap out of them because instead of being an idiotic target – like you – I am a relentlessly advancing omen of doom! Hence, it is intimidating as fuck!

Naruto could see the Bijuu's point on the intimidation factor but felt the need to point out, 'I have been hiding from ANBU after my pranks in the village since I was old enough to pull them, and I did it all while I wore a bright orange jumpsuit. I think my stealth skills are fine.'

Fine, the fox conceded, but when we die because of your idiotic clothing choices, I'm blaming you.

'Fine,' Naruto replied and then continued on his way until he made it to his homeroom, with his anxiousness increasing with every step he took. He finally reached his homeroom and waited for the teacher to introduce him while mentally freaking out.

He finally heard his name being called, walked in to the classroom and stood at the front.

When he was asked to introduce himself he decided to just act natural and do what he would normally do. So, with that spirit, he rubbed the back of his head, gave his signature grin and said, "Hi, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, it's nice to meet you!"

A little informal maybe, but since when has Naruto even known the meaning of the word.

He observed the class and he spotted Rias smiling at him and Akeno beside her. He also spotted another Devil that he did not know; she had short black hair, a slim figure and glasses over a pair of violet eyes.

'Probably one of the Devils in Sona's Peerage if not Sona herself,' thought Naruto.

He had observed all of this in less than a second – shinobi training for the win! – when he noticed that the entire class of students had been staring at him and suddenly they exploded into conversation though what they were talking about was varied.

For the girls it was:

"Oh my God!" (He winced at this) "He is so hot!"

"I know, did you see his whisker marks? Adorable!"

"I think he might be just as good looking as Kiba-kun."

One of them gasped, "Blasphemy!"

"You know I'm right."

And as for the boys:

"Oh great! Another pretty boy!"

"Now he is going to get all of the girl's attention!"

"I think I saw Rias-onee-sama smiling at him earlier!"

"Damn it!"

"Why!?"

And just when I think my opinion of your species cannot get any lower, this happens.

'Kyuubi,' Naruto thought, 'What the Hell is going on.'

Remember when I was going over the reasons that those girls kept staring at you? It asked.

'Yeah.'

Turns out it was the third option that I did not mention due to the fact that, given past evidence, it was incredibly unlikely to happen.

'Get to the point.'

Fine, the fox conceded, the girls seem to be staring at you because they think you are hot and the boys are glaring at you because they are jealous of the attention you are getting.

'If they think I am good looking than why are they staring at me like I am a piece of meat?' he asked getting kind of freaked out by said stare.

Oh, that's easy, replied the Bijuu, Remember what your friend Sakura was like before she got a dose of what we like to call reality?

'No,' Naruto thought in horror, 'By the Sage, No!'

Yep, the Kyuubi replied cheerfully, Congratulations Ningen, you now have Fangirls!

Raynare was a relatively young Fallen Angel at twenty years old and, since she had not been tempered by war as so many others had, she was rather ambitious and reckless. Her greatest dream was to be recognized by Azazel, the Governor General of the Fallen Angels, whom she adored and idolized. It was because of this ambition that she had risen the ranks so quickly and was now stationed at Triangle Base – a Grigori research and development headquarters in the Bermuda Triangle – as the head of its security, despite her relatively young age. This base was important to Azazel and she would protect it no matter what.

As she was enjoying some down time, she was approached by one of her subordinates, Mittelt. She was a girl with blonde hair, styled in twin short side ponytails, and blue eyes wearing Gothic Lolita attire.

"Raynare-sama," she said, trying to get her leaders attention.

"What is it Mittelt?" she asked, thoroughly annoyed, "Can't you see I am on break?"

"But there was a disturbance in the barrier around Triangle Base," she said frantically, "I think someone is trying to get in."

"And you came to me instead of telling some of my men to go check on it because . . .?"

"I did," the younger Fallen replied, "But that was half an hour ago and they haven't reported back yet. Not to mention that whatever caused the disturbance is apparently almost here."

Now that got Raynare's attention. An unknown enemy was infiltrating them and an entire squadron, which was composed of around a dozen Fallen, mysteriously disappears when sent to investigate it.

She had a really bad feeling about this.

"Alright," she said, coming to a decision, "You grab Kalawarner and Dohnaseek and meet me outside in front of the base."

"What?!" Mittelt asked, "Why?"

"We are going to welcome our guest, of course," said Raynare menacingly, "And then we are going to make them realize how stupid it was of them to come here."

Raynare then spread her wings and flew out of the base and on to the rocky ground in front of it. The island that Triangle Base was located on was a small and entirely made of craggy, volcanic rock. With the Grigori headquarters being made of dark stone and designed in a way that made it look like an evil castle it honestly looked more like a Dark Lords base than a science institution.

As Raynare waited she was eventually joined by Mittelt and her companions Kalawarner and Dohnaseek. Kalawarner was a tall and buxom women with long navy blue hair that obscured her right eye and brown eyes while Dohnaseek was a middle-aged looking gentleman with short, black hair and dark blue eyes.

"It took you guys long enough," Raynare commented.

"Some of us have other duties besides being a watch dog," shot back Kalawarner, irritated by the younger Fallens attitude.

"I was in discussion with Commander Maalik," said Dohnaseek, "He is most intrigued to see who has the audacity to come this close to Grigori territory. I find myself looking forward to if they can put up a good fight."

Raynare rolled her eyes at her companion's typical responses. Kalawarner was incredibly loyal to Azazel and did not like how Raynare was trying to get closer to him. Dohnaseek on the other hand was an old veteran of the Great War and a massive battle freak who enjoys combat and war; he and the man in charge of Triangle Base, Commander Maalik, got along extremely well.

"Well, it seems you will not need to wait long," said Raynare, "Because he is coming."

They all looked out at the water to see a black dot moving across the water. As it came closer they saw that it was a person wearing a black cloak with the hood pulled up to cover their face and they appeared to be walking on the water, like a Dark Messiah come to the Fallen to administer judgement.

Eventually the cloaked individual reached the island and stood in front of them. When he looked up they could see what appeared to be a white, fleshy mask that formed itself in a spiral like pattern with the spiral focusing on the right eye. Said eye was crimson with a ring around the pupil and three tomoe circling that ring.

The cloaked man continued to look at them for a few moments and then sighed, almost as if disappointed.

"Only four," he said, in an aside to himself that the Fallen could here quite clearly, "They send out only four to face me."

"What did you say?" Raynare asked, tone and body language just screaming that she wanted to kill this disrespectful insect.

"I said that I am surprised that they only sent out four of you," the Masked Man clarified, "Understandable considering that I managed to easily deal with the last dozen or so of you that came my way." Then he paused, "Unless, of course, you have simply arrived here to take me to whoever is in charge; that would make a great deal more sense."

"You think we will just let you in after you killed a dozen of our comrades?!" asked Mittelt incredulously.

"I never said I killed your allies," corrected the Masked Man, "I merely said that I dealt with them. Here let me show you."

After he said these words a spiralling vortex seemed to open up around his right eye and from it appeared a group of Fallen Angels, a dozen of them to be precise; it was the patrol that Mittelt had sent to check on the disturbance and never reported back. She was happy to see them okay but a few moments later she, along with the others, noticed that all of them had blank, emotionless faces and three tomoe circling their pupils. It did not take a genius to see that they were under the control of the Masked Man in front of them.

"Now then," said the human, "You have two choices. You can either, submit peacefully and, not to sound cliché, take me to your leader, or we can go with your second option."

"Which is?" asked Raynare, dreading the answer.

"Simple," said the Masked Man while gesturing to the Fallen Angels he controlled, "I can increase their number by four."

Naruto currently stood in the Occult Research Club's clubroom with the rest of Rias' Peerage. There was Rias and Akeno, whom he had already met, alongside her Knight Yuuto Kiba (who Naruto had spent the last eight hours being compared to) and her Rook Koneko Toujo. Both of them are in Kuoh Academies Middle School division and both of them are viewed as idols in the school with Kiba being the "Knight of Kuoh Academy" and Koneko being the schools "Mascot." Along with Rias and Akeno being known as "Kuoh Academies Two Great Ladies" the ORC had come to be called the "Idol Club" by the rest of the student populace and those poor souls dreaming of what goes on there between the schools most popular students.

Naruto was just worried that, as the Kyuubi had jokingly said earlier, soon he would have a "really cheesy nickname."

Rias had just introduced him to the rest of her peerage and after greeting Kiba he had got into what can only be described as a staring contest with Koneko. Both of them staring at the other, sizing each other up and, on Koneko's part at least, munching on sweets.

"You can use Chakra," she stated emotionlessly, reminding him of Gaara or Sasuke.

"Yep, you can too," he replied, knowing the second part because the Kyuubi had confirmed that she was a Nekomata just like Kuroka; he knew she seemed too much like a cat for it to be a coincidence.

She narrowed her eyes at him for knowing she could use chakra and simply replied, "Hm."

'Yep,' Naruto thought to himself, 'Definitely getting a Sasuke vibe from her. Just, you know, cuter and nicer.'

Naruto looked around at the members of Rias peerage and noticed that one of the members was missing: her bishop. Sirzechs had informed him about the Dhampir's problems and Naruto could not help feeling a little sorry for the guy; he knew very well what it was like to fear a power you could not control.

Hm, said the Kyuubi from within his subconscious, Interesting.

'What?'

Every single one of them.

'What are you going on about now?' Naruto asked in exasperation.

Huh, what? The Kyuubi responded, Oh, nothing, don't mind me, just making an observation that is all.

'Whatever,' Naruto thought, he didn't have time for the fox's games. He then focused on the room he was in and what he saw made his right eye start twitching.

He had finally met Rias' peerage and they were all staring at him. It was then that Naruto realized that he had been staring off into space for the past few minutes in a daze. Again.

'Damn it Kyuubi!'

Commander Maalik of Triangle Base could honestly say he was having a terrible night.

First he had to deal with that upstart Raynare, always going on about how she would prove herself to Azazel and gain his acknowledgement. She was under the belief that this base was important to Azazel when in actuality this was where he sent all of his failed experiments. The only reason Maalik had told her that bull about this base being important was because before that she was always complaining about how her great talents could be more useful elsewhere. So yeah, that was a headache he had to deal with on a daily basis.

And now he had to deal with the fact that almost every single one of the Fallen under his command had gone silent. Seriously, the only Fallen that he could still contact were the two in the room with him.

Triangle Base was where all of the rejects went; it was more along the lines of a punishment to be sent here as far as Maalik was concerned and the force of Fallen Angels here only had one-pair of wings each with Maalik being the only exception with his three-pairs of wings. The fact that whatever had intruded into the base was apparently devastating the local force did not sit well with him.

So here he was, in Triangle Bases main room – which was more of a large square arena – waiting for what he could only assume may very well be his last fight.

The large metal double doors that led into the room were suddenly, and violently, sent blasting off of their hinges and flying straight at Maalik with him ducking just in time for them to miss him. The other Fallen with him were not so lucky, so now he stood alone against whatever came through that door.

When the smoke cleared, he saw a masked figure wearing a dark cloak and what could only be a great majority of the forces under his command; most of them had blank faces and three tomoe around the eyes but he took notice of the fact that Raynare and her cohorts lacked this.

'That bitch,' he thought, 'When I am done here I am going to give her Hell for this.'

"Who are you and what do you want?" Maalik demanded of the Masked Man.

"Who I am is unimportant," the man answered, "And as for what I want, I want all of you to serve me as the beginning of my army here in the supernatural world."

Maalik was galled by the sheer audacity of the man in front of him, "You think we will serve you just because you ask?!"

"Well, considering most of the people formerly under your command are now under my command, I think I would be inclined to believe that, yes you will serve me."

Maalik's only response was to create two light swords, one for each hand.

The Masked Man sighed. "So, you're going to be one of those guys I see."

"I will free my subordinates from your control, you masked freak," Maalik declared.

"You know, that is not the first time I heard something like that, only this time it is the leader attempting to free the subordinates instead of the other way around. You will fail just as Zabuza did." The Masked Man then proceeded to walk forward and looked up at Maalik, with his eye morphing from its three tomoe pattern to a different pinwheel-like pattern.

"I suppose I can spare some time to play with you," the Masked Man taunted, "Don't disappoint me."

Maalik charged at the Masked Man, intent on impaling him on the end of his blades of light.

Naruto had just returned home when he could swear he felt the Kyuubi flare its chakra throughout his chakra coils.

'Kyuubi.'

Don't worry, I just noticed a pest in here and I felt like I had to deal with it, the fox replied defensively, I am not trying to take over your body or anything like that.

'That doesn't exactly fill me with confidence,' he replied back.

As Naruto walked into the house that he and Jiraiya shared he saw the Toad Sage seated at the table going over some documents.

"What are those?" Naruto asked, gesturing to the papers strewn about the table.

"Huh?" Jiraiya replied intelligently, "Oh Naruto, these are reports I asked Tsunade to send me."

"Baa-chan?"

"Yeah," Jiraiya confirmed, "You see ever since we ran into that Uchiha I have wanted her to send me everything she has on the Uchiha Clan. Considering you were planning on going after that Uchiha friend of yours and Itachi Uchiha is a member of the Akatsuki, I probably would have asked for the information anyway."

"So," Jiraiya continued, "How was your first day of school?"

Naruto heaved a great sigh as he sat at the table and put his head in his hands as he recounted the day to his Godfather. When he was done Jiraiya appeared conflicted as to whether he should strangle him or hold him while crying manly tears of joy.

"Let me get this straight," the Sannin said eventually, "You simply walked in, smiled, and introduced yourself and suddenly you had Fangirls."

"Pretty much, yeah."

"How?" Jiraiya asked sounding almost desperate, "How did you manage to do what I have been trying to do for years without being an Uchiha or Orochimaru."

"I don't – wait did you say Orochimaru?"

"Yes, yes I did."

"The same Orochimaru I met?" Naruto clarified, "Pale skin, snake like eyes, obsession with Uchiha's in general?"

Jiraiya nodded, "Yeah, before he became the man he is today he was quite the chick magnet. Don't ask me how, it has been decades and I still don't know how he did it."

"Huh."

The two toad summoners would spend the rest of the night wondering what girls saw in those guys that they did not see in them. It was eventually decided that a girl would need the Byakugan to see how awesome they were based on all past evidence.

All in all, it had been a very strange day for Naruto and he was glad it was finally over. Now all he had to do was go to sleep and start it all over again tomorrow.

He has said it before and he will say it again, Sage how he hated school.

Obito Uchiha stood in the control room of Triangle Base along with the facilities former commander, Maalik. After their battle – if it could even be called that – all of the Fallen had sworn their loyalty toward him and he had the beginnings of his army as well as a place filled with information and rather interesting objects to put to his own uses.

Honestly, taking this place for his own had been almost too easy with his liberal use of Genjutsu. He had worried that his illusions would not work on these supernatural creatures due to their lack of a chakra network but his fears were unfounded. He could still control them, it just took more chakra than usual and a fair bit more concentration; to a Genjutsu master like himself, or even Itachi, it was childs play. Now that the base was his, he needed to learn what it was he had acquired.

He had sent several Kage Bunshin to peruse over the documents that were littered around the base and he was not disappointed with what he found most of them were on.

Sacred gears.

The mere notion of these objects that would give normal humans fantastic abilities made him wonder what they would do to someone who was already powerful.

Someone like him.

When he was younger Obito was viewed by everyone as an idealistic idiot that was too stupid to be a ninja. However the reality was that Obito was one of the smartest people that the Uchiha Clan had ever produced and the reason he seemed like an idiot was because he was too reckless to actually use his brain first.

All of that changed with his defeat by Minato-Sensei.

That defeat had caused him to become more cautious in his plans and for him to also, you know, make plans. Now that he was actively thinking things through he could honestly say that he was at least as smart as your typical Nara and the information that he learned about Sacred Gears cause his mind to start whirling with scenario after scenario.

He could not help the downright evil smile that spread over his face.

He would return to the Elemental Nations soon and finish up his business there but when he was done he would return here and begin his plans in earnest.

'By the time I get back they will have probably extracted the Sanbi from its host,' he thought to himself and then realized the implications of that.

'Which means Rin is dead.'

. . .

. . .

. . .

'Meh.'

Honestly, he did not see why he should really care, I mean if she returned his feelings then he could see why but after he died she pretty much immediately jumped on Kakashi.

And if he really felt in the mood he would just bring her back after he became a God so, as far as he was concerned, no harm done.

But he had a little bit more time before he had to return to his Akatsuki project and he had an idea on how he would spend that time.

He looked down at the folder he was holding, one of many in the base that detailed the experiments of the Governor General of the Grigori, Azazel. Each one of these folders was listed as a failure by Azazel for one reason or another; mostly it had to do with things like morality and ethics and other things that Obito never really bothered with after his sharingan first awakened.

The one he had taken an interest in though was not a Sacred Gear, no, it was the Fallen Angel's answer to a Devil system and Obito felt like he could use it to his advantage. Conveniently enough, while he was in Suna, he managed to procure the necessary materials and they were currently locked away in his Kamui dimension, most likely rotting away by now.

He started to head to the location of the item in question leaving Maalik and the other Fallen behind him. He looked down at the folder and could not help the irony of the name that the Fallen Angel gave to the item that was meant to bring salvation to his species that would instead be used be used by Obito to bring about the beginning of his rule. He found the name oddly fitting, himself.

Project: Dark Heart.

A/N:Okay a smaller chapter this time but a few things are happening so I hope that it ties you over until the next chapter. Originally this and the next two chapters were all meant to be one chapter but I realized that it was getting a little too large and so I split it up into a three-parter.

Now about the chapter:

Triangle Base:I actually created this for an arc that occurs much later in the story and I figured that this would be the perfect place for Obito to begin his entrance into the supernatural world. You may have also noticed some familiar faces.

Maalik: In biblical texts, Maalik was the Angel of Hellfire who would cause suffering to those who were trapped in purgatory and Hell. Given that Triangle Base was a place where weak Fallen and people who piss the Grigori leaders get sent, he was the best person to command it.

Project: Dark Heart: I am going to be keeping this a secret for now, but for those of you intuitive enough, or with a similar mindset to me, I have left clues in the chapter to help you figure it out. I, personally think I made it a little too obvious.

Anyway, thank you for reading the chapter and do not forget to review.

Also, I have closed the poll due to the fact that it is pretty obvious now that the results are not going to change. The winner is . . . a secret. Sorry, but it would pretty much ruin any of the drama later if I told you if Naruto and Hinata would end up together but I will tell you this, Naruto will have to work to get a happy ending; I am not going to just hand it to him.

Anyway, thank you for reading and sorry again for this chapter being so late.

Have a good day!
