Hey guys, well as you can see this is chapter 3. Ok as I said in the last chapter this chapter is somewhat similar to the canon, episode 3. Didn't really plan on making chapter versions of the episodes. I hope the next chapter is a bit more unique to say the least. Also you may notice that I skip some stuff. Half of it was that I didn't feel like it was important. The other half is I was too lazy to write it.
Now I don't own Naruto or DxD, if I did I would have done them differently. And I would be rich.
Ninja in a Devil's World
Chapter 3
"Ffffuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccckkkkkkkk" Naruto yawned out. "Stupid devil weakness. Stupid night training with Jiraiya; barely any sleep. Stupid promise to Murayama and Katase; not letting me send a clone to do school."
Naruto just kept mumbling out complaints. He didn't really mean any of the stuff he said, he was just really tired. But he was better than yesterday morning, even with the intense midnight training. Hopefully he was adapting to the sunlight, since it was hard enough staying awake for class without the light draining away his strength.
"At least last night's training is paying off already" the genin said to himself. Seeing and hearing no one around, Naruto brought up his right hand and started channeling chakra into it. If anyone was around, they wouldn't believe their eyes if they didn't have knowledge of the supernatural. The reason for this was that Naruto's hand was glowing blue with power.
Soon enough a low pitch swirling noise was heard, and started getting high in pitch. The air seemed to move around Naruto rapidly and condense in the center, where his hand was. After about another 20 seconds, a fully formed rasengan was in the blond pawn's hand.
"Useless" Naruto sighed out as he dispelled the rasengan in his hand. While it was impressive and spoke volumes of the difference in chakra control Naruto had when he first learned it, it was still better to use his shadow clones to help him. A rasengan that takes about half a minute to form is of no use to him; he would be attacked or killed before he even finished half way.
But it wasn't unexpected that it would take some time to master the rasengan. It was an A-rank technique made by the Yondaime Hokage that took three years to create and even a few months for Jiraiya, one of the strongest ninja of Konoha, to learn how to use. If Naruto learned it without effort, he would be a genius, but he is not, so it's going to take a lot of hard work to master it.
'Riser Phenex. The future husband of Rias, huh.'
Thinking back to last night's discussion, Naruto managed to learn of the agreement the silver haired maid Grayfia was talking about, which was about the upcoming marriage between Rias Gremory and Riser Phenex. Jiraiya knew all about as it was part of the file on Rias that Azazel gave Jiraiya. According to the Fallen Angel Governor's file, Rias has been fighting the engagement ever since she met her future husband at age 6. Currently she had no luck in her attempts at getting out of the arrangement.
Jiraiya suggested that they use this to their advantage. Both Azazel and Jiraiya felt that in the end the only way out for the redhead was to challenge Riser to a Rating Game. She had a very, very low chance of winning the game, until Naruto became part of her peerage. Now she had a real shot of winning the fight and freeing herself. It could shoot to near guaranteed with some training and strategy planning with the older ninja.
The advantage Naruto would get is showing off his skills to the Underworld and hopefully furthering his promotion. On the plus side, even if he didn't get promoted soon, Rias would owe him and they could ask her for help with their project. Jiraiya already was trying to incorporate the Fallen Angel magic portals they use. That magic may be enough, but then again it may not, so acquiring the inner workings of Devil's teleportation magic would be helpful.
"Speaking of magic, I need to narrow down on one to learn. Ero-sensei chose some good recommendations" the high schooler mumbled, as he flipped through the small booklet that contained the magic styles that Jiraiya picked. It contained the name of the style, what it did, and some possible ideas of how Naruto could possibly use it that the book didn't say.
There were a good dozen or so of magic styles he was currently reading through. Jiraiya read through the thick book Rias gave him and chose the best. And all of them interested Naruto frankly. Thankfully it was possible for him to learn and master all of them, pros of being able to live potentially thousands of years.
Like Ice-Make, also known as Sculpting of the Ice King. Basically the user can create a variety of objects out of ice to be used for offensive, defensive or miscellaneous purposes. This magic was broken down into two forms, Static Ice-Make and Dynamic Ice-Make; though masters of Ice-Make could easily use both forms. Static Ice-Make was creating objects inanimate objects, such as weapons, or by affecting the environment around them. Dynamic Ice-Make focuses on creating animated ice sculptures, usually in the form of animals. With this Naruto would replicate the Hyōton.
It was noted that applying Norse Magic to Ice-Make made it exponentially more powerful.
While it sound awesome, the training didn't sound very fun, as it called for training in the nude in the middle of the freezing winter, while it is snowing. Not cool, pun semi-intended. Plus there was a warning that ninety percent of users will randomly strip without noticing. Naruto didn't want that, as he will be labeled as a pervert.
Another magic style on the list was Great Tree Arc, also known the Impossible Forest of Avalon. Essentially the naming said it all, it uses magic to make trees in combat; basically a magic version of Mokuton. While the magic allows one to manipulate the properties of trees, including its roots, branches, and leaves, it can also manipulate the properties within the earth. It is possible to condense the power of the earth into the fruit of the created trees, doing such allows them to create fiery explosions, providing them an additional range of offensive attacks.
Unfortunately there are limitations to this magic. First off the Great Tree Arc magic isn't strictly Devil Magic, it technically falls under the category of Fairy Magic. While it is possible to learn by yourself or from someone else, it is very unlikely that you will master this magic without being taught or aided by Fairy Magic. Overusing this immense Magic without Fairy Magic will eventually cause the caster's body to transform into a giant tree.
Illusion Magic was an interesting topic and choice that Jiraiya picked. Naruto was really not sure about learning this magic. Basically it's similar to genjutsu, and Naruto sucked in that, so Illusion Magic shouldn't be any different. However Jiraiya did make a strong argument about him learning it, which finally convinced Naruto at least consider it.
Unlike genjutsu, Illusion Magic didn't really require very good control to use the most basic form. However control was needed to make complicated and realistic illusions. On the other hand, if Naruto learned this and got back to Konoha, his Illusion Magic could possibly be unbreakable, since it used magic instead of chakra. On the down side it is possible that the methods used to break genjutsus can break through illusions made with Illusion Magic.
But then Naruto came up to his and Jiraiya's favorite two.
"Jutsu Shiki and Dark Écriture are the most interesting. They could be especially helpful now that Jiraiya is going to start teaching me seals.
Jutsu Shiki, Entrapping Words of the Bandits in some circles, is a form of Letter Magic in which the user is able to create barriers in certain areas by surrounding it with Magic Runes. Those who step inside these runes will be trapped and forced to obey the rules that the user set up beforehand. These rules range from age or time limits, to tasks that must be completed, such as defeating others within the spell boundaries. Due to the nature of thisMagic, it is more suited for trapping rather than for direct combat. In addition, it also takes a significant amount of time to cast.
"This would have been great to know back when I was pranking everyone in Konoha. They would be trapped while I got away. The only bad part is the significant amount of time to cast; its only useful for ambushing" the wonna-be Hokage said out loud after reading the description of Jutsu Shiki. This momentarily drew the attention of people nearby, but they quickly went back to thinking about themselves.
Dark Écriture, also known as Forsaken Writing of Sinner, is a form of Letter Magic that allows the caster to write runes, without a writing tool such as a pen or a quill, for various types of effects. Essentially, the spells used for this Magic work only on what the caster writes with it. The properties of the Magic is centered on the writing of the runes; however, if rewritten correctly, the effects will change. The runes can be written on an object, person, or even in midair for the effects to take place.
The runes can be written for different purposes, such as traps, and offensively can be cast upon an opponent to inflict either physical or mental injury. The caster can also conjure an element for usage of this Magic, like poison. Death is also a possible effect. However, simple usage of this Magic that is convenient for the user, such as teleportation or flight, can also be used. Another type of spell is actual transformation, in which the caster is able to transform themselves and be granted a different appearance, even strength. Note that transformation is quite painful and possibly permanent.
"Dark Écriture seems the better of the two, as it can do what Jutsu Shiki does; I think. Maybe it doesn't have the 'force to obey rules' like Jutsu Shiki. Meh, I will just learn both to cover my bases. Wonder if Dark Écriture can cast seals Ero-sensei is going t-" Naruto didn't get to finish his outer thought as he collided with someone.
Reacting quickly, he threw his hands forward to catch himself. And he did. Opening his eyes, he saw what he crashed into. It was a pretty young girl with long blonde hair and green eyes. Her hair flows all the way down to her back, with split bangs over her forehead and a single strand sticking out from the top, sloping backwards.
Her attire consists of a dark teal nun outfit with light blue accents, a white veil over her head with light blue accents, a brown satchel slung on her right hip, and brown boots with black straps in an X-shaped pattern. She also wears a silver cross necklace around her neck.
Right now Naruto had either of his hands beside her, holding himself up. If he hadn't caught himself, he would have landed directly on the girl's bosom, making a fool of himself. 'Ninja reflexes, thank Go-SHIT!' Naruto thought, before he got a powerful headache instantly.
The new devil withdrew his right hand to massage his head to try and relieve his sudden headache. Unfortunately he forgot that he was preventing himself from falling and fell directly into the girl's breast. Normally that would be sort of good, but there was something between him and the breast that was bad.
A Cross.
Naruto's face landed right on the cross. Immediately he felt a burning sensation where the cross made contact with his skin. It felt like boiling water or acid instead of silver. The blond jinchuuriki immediately rolled of the girl, clutching his face, saying fuck into his hand over and over again.
The blond girl rose to her feet and then started bowing towards Naruto saying in a thick accent "I'm sorry!"
Suppressing the pain of the holy object, which faded for the most part almost instantly after he was separated from it. "No, no, it's my fault. I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking. Forgive me, for falling on you" as Naruto got up and dusted off his clothing.
"Ano, uh, why where you…rolling, uh, ground?" the girl said in her accent, which soon turned to Italian, falling back to her native language after not being able to say what she wanted with her meager Japanese skills.
Just as she realized that she spoke in Italian, Naruto replied back in perfect Italian, "Oh that. Um, my hand slipped and when I fell face first, one of the corners of your cross hit my eye. But it's alright dattebayo!"
Looking around Naruto saw an open suit case on the ground nearby and some clothing on the ground. Luck was on his side and none of the clothing where her underwear; that would be embarrassing for both of them. "Here, let me help you since I'm at fault here." Naruto then started picking up her clothing.
He then realized that he never really introduced himself. 'Good thing Katase and/or Murayama aren't here, they would have smacked me for manners.' "Oh that reminds me, my name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki! May I have the name of the young lady I ran over?"
The young girl didn't say anything for a few second, causing Naruto to think that he may have frightened her or something. But then he heard a soft "My name is Asia. Um… Can you please help, I got lost and need help?" Turning to her, Naruto saw that she looked very shy, but happy, as she had a beautiful smile.
"Sure, sure, whatever you need. It will be my way of saying sorry" chuckled Naruto. "So where are you heading? Need to find your hotel?" Naruto asked, concluding that she was on a trip as she had a suit case with her.
"No, I was assigned to this town church."
"Oh you're a nun! Wow that's cool. I can't believe I didn't realize it, you looked the part. I think that nuns are great people, next to doctors. Both of them help people with their troubles. Though maybe a nun is higher than a doctor on my list; the ones I know are pretty violent. If a nun could heal people, than they possibly be the second highest on my list" Naruto then just went into a mini rant. He but however he still noticed that Asia flinched when he mentioned a nun healing people 'I wonder what that was about.'
"Sorry I started ranting" he finished, laughing lightly.
Chuckling cutely, Asia said, "its fine. I'm so glad to have meet someone like you already. I immediately got lost in the city trying to find my way to the church. I tried to ask for directions, but no one understood me. But then I ran into you. You were so nice to me and knew Italian. Have you ever been to Italy?"
Naruto blinked blankly at that. 'I know Italian? Must be another devil perk.' Naruto then made up a quick half-truth lie, "No I haven't been to Italy. But my guardian has traveled all over and learned many things. He has taught me some of the stuff he has learned."
"Um, Naruto, do you know where the church is?" asked a hopeful Asia.
"Nope, sorry" Naruto said while scratching the back of his head. He then saw Asia get a bit sad, and he didn't like that look on her face. Her face should never have to have a look other positive ones. The ninja thought of something to change her mood, "But don't worry. I could look up the address and how to get there on my phone. The wonders of modern technology, right?"
"Wow that's amazing. It must be God's will" Asia said will clapping her hands together.
'Son of a bitch! Not again' Naruto thought as he bit the inside of his cheek to not show Asia the sudden headache he just had from her invoking the Holy Lord's name.
Naruto pulled out his phone and unlocked it. Before he opened a map application he saw the current time and knew that he really didn't have any time to spare to help Asia, or else he would be late for school. But he already said he would help her, and that was like saying a promise; at least to him it was.
"Asia, I got to go to the restroom for a second, clean my hands from the fall and all. I will be back in a sec" Naruto turned and quickly walked towards the restrooms in the park; he barely heard Asia saying ok.
Once in the restroom, Naruto made sure that no one was around and then create a shadow clone. He handed the clone his book bag. The clone should be alright for at least the first three periods, as they were usually calm and it had a very low chance to get dispelled. However fourth period was gym and today they were playing football, also known to Americans as soccer. The real Naruto walked out of the bathroom first. The clone would wait a minute, on the unlikely chance that someone was watching, before sprinting to school.
The real Naruto met up with Asia again. "So let see if we can't find the church you're looking for. Hmm, were are in luck, there's only one church in this town, so we don't have to walk around checking all of them. Bad news is that the church is on the other side of the town. Might take us a good half an hour to get there."
"Sorry, for troubling you. I-I can go by myself" Asia said in her shy voice.
"It's no trouble at all. I don't mind, better than what I was going to do anyways. Plus you should have someone walk you there. Even though this is a good town, it has its bad apples. Now let's get a move on" the ever friendly Naruto said.
Soon the two blonds were out of the park and heading down the street. It was a busy street, having many shops, restaurants, and street vendors. Even on a weekday the street was still busy, but not as busy as weekends. As they walked Asia looked all around wanting to explore the places.
"Go on, why don't go inside some of the stores and check out some of the cool stuff they have there. Have some fun before we get to the church" encouraged Naruto.
But before she could look around, her stomach let out a loud growl. Naruto tilted his head and asked, "Didn't you eat something on the plane? Or get anything at the airport?"
"Ano, I was so nervous about being on a plane that I wasn't paying attention when they were handing out snacks. And when we landed, I was excited about heading to the church, so I forgot to eat something there" Asia said with a small blush of embarrassment, and poked her fingers together.
'Hm where have I seen that before?' Naruto thought, after seeing Asia's expression. Somewhere in a universe, deep in the Dimensional Gap, a busty Hyuuga sneezed.
Naruto let out a small laugh and said, "I get that way sometimes myself. Come on, I will go buy something for us to eat. Wish that there was a ramen shop around. But I see a crepe vendor, hope you don't mind something sweet for breakfast."
"Its fine, you don't have to" Asia said, trying to get Naruto to stop.
"Nonsense, you are now my friend, and I don't let a friend in trouble stay in trouble," Naruto said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the crepe vendor. He had no idea the impact his words had on her.
Soon enough they were sitting at a small table next to the vendor, enjoying their crepe; Naruto got chocolate-hazelnut and Asia herself got strawberry-lemon.
"So Asia," Naruto started, "How was it growing up in Italy? Why did you become a nun?"
With that Asia told Naruto a bit of her life story, while Naruto did the same.
After the small trip of showing Asia around, they had finally could see the church that was now a couple of blocks away. What was originally supposed to be a thirty minute escort to the church, had turned into nearly two hours. Naruto really didn't care, his clone was taking care of class and showing Asia the town was entertaining.
However he really need to get back before gym started.
As the two blonds walked closer to the church, Naruto started feeling an oppressing sensation baring down on his body. It felt like when he and his team walked into Zabuzu's mist and they didn't know. The feeling wasn't quite killing instinct, but something else.
But it wasn't anything the blond hero couldn't handle.
Naruto walked up to the front gate of the church with Asia. "Whelp this is as far as I go. Hope you had an enjoyable time with my awesome self?" Naruto asked with a grin.
Asia bowed and softly said "Thank you very for showing me the way and the city. Why don't you come in for some tea?"
Naruto almost couldn't refuse. Asia was looking at him with her big green eyes that made her adorable. "I-I-I can't. I have something I got to do and I have put it off enough today." Asia looked heart broken when he said that, "BUT! If you ever want to hang out, I'm nearly always available. And I know of at least two girls that wouldn't mind becoming your friend. Okay?"
"Okay, I hope we can see each soon" Asia said, as Naruto walked away, both waving at each other.
Turning his head forward, the devil ninja's smiling face disappeared and became hard. 'The three fallen angels are inside the church. What do they want with Asia?' Naruto thought. He saw them looking briefly through the window before they retreated. It was only a second, but more than enough time for Naruto.
'If they harm her, I will show them hell' Naruto though as he leaped to the roof tops. Asia was his friend now, so he was protective of her.
In less than 5 minutes Naruto was on his schools roof top. He summoned and then dismissed a clone to alert his copy in class to head to the rest room, so that they may switch. Luckily for him, second period was over. However third period just started so a bathroom request wouldn't be filled.
Naruto was hanging out on the roof top. It took another twenty minutes before the clone could get away from class. Once they met up, the clone dispelled, and Naruto went to class. The only downside was that Rias saw him.
Good thing he could out run her easily. However he knew that he would be in trouble after school. 'I'm so screwedaren't I?'
The whiskered devil made it back to class with no one the wiser. School eventually ended, though it didn't seem as long as it usually was to Naruto. No doubt that the clone taking the first two and a half classes made if feel like that. Naruto was thinking of just repeating that every school day. But decided against it, eventually he would feel like it was too troublesome to even go to school at all.
Naruto, Katase, and Murayama immediately headed to the Occult clubroom in the old school building.
"So Naruto-kun, why did you send a clone to first period?" Katase asked suddenly.
That shocked Naruto, who thought he got away clear.
"Um…"
"I would like to know the same thing," the three of them heard from the entrance of the clubroom. They all saw Rias standing there. Her hips where cocked to the side and her arms folded under her bust. She looked very serious…and very sexy.
Naruto now found himself surrounded by the three girls. He tried to run away but they caught him and dragged him into the club room. He stood up and started scratching his cheek, while he gave out a nervous laugh. "Something came up while on the way to school. And I frankly had to check it out."
The three girls, who all technically run his life now (two girlfriends and a master), gave him a hard look. Rias was the one that spoke up, "And did this something have anything to do with anything of holy nature?"
"Eh, no?" Naruto said lamely.
"Don't lie to me! I can clearly feel minor traces of leftover holy energy around you. Unless you were stupid enough to ignore your instincts and started hanging out in a popular church, you were dealing with someone of holy nature" Rias said not amused by Naruto's weak attempt to lie.
Naruto sighed and decided to tell them what happen. "Well you see on my way to school I literally bumped into this nun-" "A NUN!" Rias yelled, interrupting Naruto.
Naruto gave her a look that said 'shut up and let me tell my story.' Rias understood the look and let him continue. "Yes a nun. Anyways she fell after I walked into her and I helped her up. She looked so lost and tried to apologize with her merger Japanese. I started talking to her, in Italian somehow by the way, and helped her recover her clothing that feel out of her suitcase. After that I offered to help her out. Rias don't interrupt me please," Naruto said giving Rias a look as she was about to open her mouth.
"Apparently Asia, that's her name by the way, has been reassigned to the old church of Kouh. However I'm getting the feeling that it wasn't a good reassignment and that she may even no longer be part of the church."
"Why do you think that?" asked Katase.
"Even though she looked happy, I could see the sadness she was hiding. And while we were walking, we talked. She told me that before she came her that she was part of a large church that was close to the Vatican; so that means she might have been very special. But now she has been reassigned to a rundown church in Japan; which is by the way housing the fallen angels from the other day. Moving from a big popular church to a rundown one and one that currently houses the fallen angels, that doesn't seem like official church procedures" explained Naruto.
"There is something I don't get though?" Murayama said.
"What?"
"The walk from here to the church is like thirty minutes. You were gone for two and a half hours."
"Oh that. It was Asia's first time in Japan, so while we walked towards the church, I showed her around. You know letting her look at some stories. Plus she was a bit hungry, she forgot to eat breakfast."
"Naruto," Rias suddenly stoke out. "You shouldn't interact with the other factions, they are dangerous. You have already seen what the Fallen Angels are capable, they already tried to kill you and they nearly killed Murayama, if you hadn't summoned me. Even if this new nun friend of yours isn't part of the church, she is now part of the Fallen Angel Faction. Fanatic biblical members are dangerous, doing anything in the name of their lord. Those that turn from them and joined the Fallen Angels, are usually insane and even more dangerous. So stay away from them; that's an order."
Naruto just looked at Rias for a couple of minutes and then said, "If Asia was a threat to me I would have done something about it; maybe not kill her, but I would have done something. Remember how I reacted to you when you told us about you being a devil? Also don't forget that I did kill a fallen angel by myself. That should tell you that I'm not as helpless as you think."
"And as for banning me from interacting with the Church and Grigori. I can stay away from the Church, for now. But as for Grigori, that's impossible to do; after all my sensei currently has a business relationship with the faction leader, Azazel" Naruto finished.
What Naruto said shocked everyone in the room, which was all the peerage members; the others walked in while Naruto and the girls were talking.
"WHAT!?" shouted everyone.
"Yea I was shocked too when I learned that. Which was the day I became a devil by the way" Naruto said.
"Why is your sensei working for the Fallen Angels!?" demanded Rias.
Naruto didn't say anything about how the question sounded. "My sensei and I really aren't from around here. Our home is far away, like past heaven and the underworld far. We got here on accident and wanted to go home. My sensei can go home due to a spell, but the same spell can summon me back home. Reason is something to do with my power, it interferes with the summoning spell, causing it to be slightly dangerous for me. Second is that back home they don't have access to anything that could power the spell to summon me."
"So my sensei decided to use the knowledge of this place to find a way to stabilize the spell and cut the cost energy cost of summoning me. This is why he is working with Azazel. Plus I get the feeling that Azazel may be a pervert, since those types of people pretty much flock to my sensei. By the way, remember how I said that my sensei could help train everyone to make the stronger for your Riser problem? He said he would help, though he would want some information of devil teleportation in exchange."
A monotone voice suddenly spoke up, "But then why did the fallen angels attack you the other day?"
Naruto turned to Koenko and said happily, "No idea!" That almost caused everyone to faceplam. "But I doubt it was on the orders of Azazel. Azazel really likes my sensei since he is helping him with his sacred gear research. Most likely they are rogue members."
Everything became somewhat quiet after that. It looks like everyone was thinking over everything Naruto just said.
(Timeskip)
It has been a few hours since Naruto told his fellow peerage members about the business relationship his sensei had with the leader of the fallen angels. It had been awkward for a few minutes, but luckily something came up and the tense feeling in the air disappeared.
The topic was a stray devil around they needed to get rid of it. Naruto thought it would have been a fun fight against a stronger and more experienced devil, but sadly he was wrong. However he did learn something new, though it was a bit horrifying.
Stray devils are devils that were once part of a peerage, but have turned away from their master and live the life of a rogue. They usually kill their devil master, since the king of a peerage can sense where the members of their peerage are. Stray devils don't look like normal devil, which basically look human. Stray devils are monsters and what you expect demons to look like from mythology. This is because without a king to regulate the power of their peerage members, their devil power would mutate their bodies into inhuman shapes.
Pure-blood demons can also become stray devils, though it was rare that their bodies would mutate since they usually could control their power enough to stop that from happening
Tonight Rias and her peerage only dealt with a low-class former bishop who had become a Visor type stray; a stray that left for their own selfish desires. She was in a deserted house that was near a semi-public street. The house was gaining infamy for being haunted and all types of people were ending up dead near the house; half eaten. The local kids were actually starting dares of going to the house and some of them didn't come back.
The stray demon was a very ugly looking thing; it really did look like a monster. However it wasn't all that tough to deal with, in fact anyone of Rias' peerage members could have taken it down by themselves; even Murayama and Katase. The only reason Naruto could figure as to why she brought everyone, was so that her three new pieces could see a stray devil, and to show off the abilities of the other evil pieces; which Naruto, Murayama, and Katase could get temporarily through promotion.
While they already knew what piece gave what powers, it was better to see how they applied in real life. Kiba was the knight piece, which gave him the ability of enhanced speed. And he was fast, as fast as a mid rank chunin to Naruto at least. Naruto couldn't help but wonder if the knight speed was solely from the knight piece or if he trained to get to that level of speed. Naruto could also understand why Kiba was a knight, his abilities to make swords overcame his weakness of basically having no physical strength to deal damage.
Seeing the rook power in Koneko was amazing, Naruto thought that is was right that it was worth more pieces than the knight piece. The petite girl showed off her super strength and tough defense by easily surviving being chomped on by the bigger stray devil, without any damage to herself; only to her clothes. Naruto gave Koneko his jacket to cover herself.
While Rias didn't have a bishop, Naruto got to see how one fought like thanks to Akeno, even if she was the queen. In Naruto's opinion the busty girl was limiting her potential since she looked like she only fought with magic; she should have been a bishop if that was the case. A queen piece had the traits of a rook, knight, and bishop, though at only eighty-five percent of the real pieces. Like Naruto said, she fought like a bishop, not a queen. If she learned something like Gai's and Lee's Gōken (Strong/Iron Fist), then she would be using all her potential.
And quite frankly Rias was the same way. Sure the Power of Destruction she inherited from her family was amazing, something that any bloodline loving ninja village would love to get their hands on. But Rias only used its power, she didn't have any physical combat ability it seems. She almost got hit by the severed arm of the stray devil as it flew towards her, if Murayama and Katase hadn't destroyed it with the swords Kiba gave them. Even if those two hadn't saved her, Naruto was watching and would have Kawarimi (Body replacement) with her and taken care of the arm.
Naruto was going to bring back all he observed to Jiraiya so that they could train them all. Kiba was well off overall from what Naruto could see, he just need a bit more attacking power, so something like chakra flowing could be the best bet for him. Koneko was also good, but she lacked long range attacks and was somewhat slow, so a bit of speed training is a must. Akeno and Rias really need to learn some type of close combat defense, preferably not a magical kind. However Naruto doubted they could teach them much before the fight with Riser, so they would probably focus on their strengths, which is magic; so maybe some energy control exercises.
After completely annihilating the stray devil, Rias had them do their contracts, it would be the first ones for Naruto, Katase, and Murayama. Naruto already knew that he should expect anything from the contract, even if it was strange, thanks to his experience the other day with Akeno. He seriously hoped that he would get a normal contract and not something disturbing.
But it looked like luck wasn't on his side today.
His first contractor was this really, really buff body builder dude. Normally that wouldn't have been strange at all, but what made it creepy was that he was a crossdresser and was wearing some weird anime costume obviously meant for females. And he was asked to be called Mil-tan. Naruto should have guessed that his wish was to be a Magical Girl.
Akeno wasn't the only sadist in the peerage apparently. Mil-tan told him that none of the previous devils could grant his wish. So to Naruto it seemed like Rias wanted to mentally scar him and have him fail. But Naruto wasn't like every other devil and thought of a way to make his client a Magical Girl.
Naruto simply gave Mil-tan, oh he is so going to have nightmares from this, a seal tag with a transformation seal on it. Naruto charged it up to last about four hours and explained how to use. So with that Naruto completed a supposedly impossible task with some minor mental scarring and got a big bonus for his efforts. Rias was both shocked and amazed that Naruto completed the contract.
After that Naruto got another contract, which was actually one of Koneko's. She however already had another contract so she couldn't make it, so it was pawned off to Naruto. And with his luck it was also a strange man. But luckily he wasn't as strange as Mil-tan.
The summoner was a guy named Morisawa, a regular of Koneko. And with his taste it was easy to see why. The man was a lolicon and an anime enthusiast. Usually his contract with Koneko was that she dress up in cosplay outfits. Morisawa was a nice enough guy, though he said if there wasn't any loli to dress up for him than he wouldn't sign the contract.
But Naruto is Naruto, so he solved the problem in the same way he solved his last one; transformation! He created a couple of shadow clones that transformed into petite girls like Koneko, though their features varied. The clones dressed up for Morisawa, who thankfully wasn't a pedophile, and didn't try anything with his clones; he really didn't want those memories. The contract signed and teleported back to the clubroom. Took all of 15 minutes to do.
So now Naruto was on his third contract of the night. Immediately Naruto knew that there was something strange going on. Usually when he teleported to a client's home, he appeared in front of their door. But this time Naruto appeared in the middle of the street; thankfully it there wasn't any cars driving.
As Naruto got closer to the house he could feel something strange, it felt like when he was getting closer to the church. When he opened the door, Naruto smelled the scent of blood coming from the house. He brought out a kunai to defend himself, a handful of shurikens, and created a clone, just in case.
Soon he heard the muffle screams of someone in pain and begging. Immediately he heard a loud laugh in response to the pain and begging. Naruto seriously hoped that it wasn't his client who was part of a satanic cult and he was about to sacrifice someone.
Our blond devil and his clone silently continued onward into the house, approaching the screams. Hiding in the shadow, Naruto saw some guy in white torturing a man that was bound and gagged on the wall. The bound man had broken fingers, busted teeth, bruised face, and currently he was getting his finger nails ripped off; which was more painful as the fingers were broken.
On Naruto's silent orders, the clone launched a kicked at the man in white; Naruto really didn't care if that man was his client. But the man in white had some skills as he dodged the kick, and the clone landed on the wall. Fortunately the man wasn't skilled enough to stop the side kick Naruto launched right after his clone that sent him tumbling into the nearby wall.
The clone, knowing what to do, took the bound man and high tailed it out of there. His creator was going to fight the man in white, and it would be best if he had all the room he could have and not a potential hostage nearby. Plus the clone seriously need to get the guy to a hospital or else he might die. Naruto didn't really know, he wasn't a medic.
Naruto got a good look at his opponent. He was a young man with short white hair and red eyes. He was dressed in clerical clothing and had a disturbing grin on his face currently. Naruto was sure that this guy wasn't his client and probably an exorcist that belonged to the Heaven or Fallen Faction; most likely fallen with his grin.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't a devil" the exorcist said. He then gave a mocking bow and said, "My name is Freed Sellzen. I'm a priest for a certain exorcist organization!"
"A priest? You? Yea right." Naruto fired back.
Freed started to do a strange dance and said, "I am, unlike you, you worthless price of shit devil. It seems like you have interrupted me from my duty of punishing that man for summoning a devil. I guess I will just have to take it out on you!"
The clearly insane exorcist pulled out a gun and a sword hilt from his robe. Soon a blade of light appeared from the sword hilt. Freed launched himself towards Naruto intending to take off the blonde's head with his light sword, but the ninja was faster than the so called priest and dodged it by ducking out of the way.
Not taking his eyes off of Freed, Naruto saw that he was now aiming to take his movement by aiming at his legs. He managed to dodge them before they could hit. He threw his shurikens at the crazy man, who shot them out of the air quite easily.
They were merely a distraction however as Naruto appeared within Freed's personal space, swinging his dual kunai towards the priest's unguarded points. Unfortunately Naruto didn't do any damage to Freed and they were now locked in a stalemate with their blades; however Naruto was pushing Freed back slowly. Normally he would have been overpowered already, but the damn light from the sword weakened him a bit; and while insane, Freed was skilled.
Raising his gun forth, the stray exorcist tried to blow Naruto's head off, but thanks to some amazing reflexes, Naruto dodged the bullets. The suddenly loss of force against him unbalanced Freed, and the shinobi used that time wisely.
Quickly forming handsigns the blond casted a Fūton: Daitoppa (Wind Style: Great Breakthrough), sending a powerful gust of wind at Freed. However the priest managed to recover enough of his balance to fire his gun again. The two attacks met each other in the middle and the bullet pierced the gust of wind.
The wind managed to change the direction of the shot, though it still hit Naruto. It got the palm of his right hand, causing a lot of pain, and preventing him forming hand seals to use jutsus. Naruto's jutsu on the hand smashed Freed into the wall behind him, destroying the wall.
As Naruto was about to make his way over to Freed, to kill him before he got up, he felt someone behind him and then heard a girly scream. He turned around and was about to throw his kunai at the person, when to his surprise he saw Asia standing over the blood that his client let out while being tortured by Freed.
The genin was so surprised to see the blond nun there that he dropped his guard down in shock. Unfortunately he got a kick to the face from Freed, sending him to the other side of the room. Though Naruto managed to recover quickly enough.
The white hair exorcist turns to Asia and ask in his twisted voice, "Asia-chan are you done setting up the magic barrier?" Asia couldn't respond as she was staring at the blood and fingernails. "Oh that's right you're a beginner. This is our job, Asia-chan, to kill off the worthless people that side with the devil. It's God's will!"
She turned to Freed, in shock at what he said. "N-no way!" She then caught sight of Naruto as he got up. "Na-Naruto!?"
Naruto scratched his cheek and said "Yo Asia. How are you doing?" like he wasn't in the middle of combat and had a hole in his right hand.
Freed turned and look back and forth between Naruto and Asia. "You two know each other?"
"I'm the one that took her to the church, something I'm really regretting. If I had known a person like you was there, I would have set fire to the church and taken Asia under my care. Consequences be damned" Naruto replied with a serious face.
"Naruto, what are you doing here?" Asia asked, still surprised at what she had seen so far.
"Did I forget to mention I was a devil?" asked sheepishly. "Guess it never came up in conversation."
Asia started to tear up. Freed started laughing at that. "Unfortunately Asia-chan it seems like your friend lied to you. It doesn't matter, devils and humans are incompatible. Not to mention that we can't live without the protection of the Fallen Angels. An-"
"That's where you are wrong!" Naruto interrupted loud. "Asia doesn't need your protection, I can protect her myself! Besides if you really were working for Grigori, you would have been killed already when your little crow friends tried to attack me. I don't doubt Azazel told the Fallen to say away from me, considering my sensei is working with him."
"Maybe," Freed said in his insane voice, before he ran towards Naruto to slash him. But as Naruto was about to take him down, Asia jumped in front of the blond protectively. She begged for Freed to leave Naruto alone. But her words were wasted on a monster, and he used his sword to cut up Asia's clothing.
Freed then went on a rant about something, Naruto wasn't really paying attention. Though he managed to catch the part about not harming Asia. After that Naruto saw red, as Freed grabbed her hands and placed them against the wall. He started threatening to rape her.
Stupidly Freed put down his light sword and turned away from Naruto to rape Asia.
In that instant, Naruto channeled a large amount of energy into his right fist, uncaring about the hole currently in it. He was upon Freed in the next instant with a large amount of his chakra and devil energy circling his fist. It looked like his fist was surrounded by a rasengan; instead of him holding on.
The would-be rapist was sent flying deeper into the house causing and taking a lot of damage. Naruto threw his kunai at him, which lodged deeply into his gut. The ninja was hoping it was a slow and painful lethal wound.
He slowly turned to Asia. He saw that she was kneeling on the floor covering her chest. Seeing that he took off his shirt as Koneko had never given back his jacket, and handed it to his nun friend. "Are you okay Asia?" Naruto softly asked as he did a quick check to make sure that she was all right.
Asia could only see Naruto staring down at her with kind eyes and a small smile; he looked very handsome to her. She looked down and saw his bare chest. She was about to blush and look away, when she saw his still bleeding right hand.
Disregarding his mild nudity, Asia grabbed her blond friend's hand and placed her own over his. A pair of rings manifested on both of her middle fingers. Soon a green field of light wrapped around Asia's hand, which also wrapped around his Naruto's. He could feel and see his injure healing.
"Amazing, this looks exactly like Iryō Ninjutsu (Medical Ninja Techniques)!" Naruto said as he looked at Asia. "I believed that if you had any ability, it would be something related to healing. It's just the way you are Asia." That got a small blush from Asia, who tried to keep focus on the hand wound.
Naruto felt devil magic appear behind him, and he turned to see what it was; and it was a magic circle. Since he turned around, he didn't see Freed charging at him, until it was almost too late. He quickly brought out his kunai and hoped that he made it in time to block the light sword.
Be it wasn't needed as the light sword was stopped by something else. Or should I say someone else.
"Kiba!? What are you doing here?"
"Uzumaki-kun, I'm here to help" Kiba said as he held Freed back with his blade.
"I would have been okay, if you guys hadn't distracted me with the magic circle."
"Ara, Ara, don't be like that Naruto-kun" Akeno said as she suddenly appeared from the magic circle.
"That was rude Naruto." "You should be thankful that came to help you." Katase and Murayama said as they walked out from the magic circle.
Koneko followed them out and only said "Exorcist."
"How did you even know to look for me? Do these Evil Pieces have danger detectors or something?"
"Koneko's and Akeno's clients were also being targeted by exorcists after they showed up. Buchou tried to contract you, but a barrier stopped us" answered Kiba.
After that there was a trade of barbs between Kiba and Akeno to the white head exorcist. Naruto really didn't care, he was waiting for Asia to finish up the healing, so that he could kill Freed.
"You should just disappear" was what brought Naruto back into the conversation, as he saw Rias release a blast of her Power of Destruction at Freed. Unfortunately he managed to dodge it and the attack managed to only wipe a table out of existence.
'She is doing to need to work on making her attacks faster' noted Naruto.
"It seems like you been messing with my adorable servant" Rias said, not even fazed that her attack missed it target.
"Adorable? You have the wrong adjective Buchou. I'm not Asia or Koneko. If anything I'm ruggedly handsome" Naruto corrected, but was ignored.
Rias then started flaring up her power, which truthfully was actually a lot; it would be equivalent to Jonin level.
Freed started to sweat a little from the power Rias was releasing. "You're the real deal. You look pretty damn powerful." He looked prepared to run away. But that changed when Koneko sniffed the air and said "Multiple Fallen Angels and Exorcist" and then a white and violet portal appeared above them.
The crazed exorcist was no long afraid and said, "This is where I make a comeback."
"Buchou?"
The red head devil thought it over for a second and said, "Akeno prepare a jump now. Our top priority was retrieving Naruto."
Akeno started forming a magic circle to teleport them out. Koneko threw a heavy cabinet at Freed, who couldn't dodge it, and got hit. Naruto picked Asia up and entered the circle. And in a flash of light, they were off.
As they reappeared in the club room, Naruto quickly noticed something missing. Asia was no longer in his arms. She wasn't in the room with them.
"Where's Asia!?"
"She couldn't come with us," their president started, "as I told you before, this magic circle is tuned into those that are members of my household. Asia wasn't, so she was left."
"Then we should have stayed and fight them off. Isn't this your territory? Don't people, kings especially, fight off those that come to invade it!?" demanded Naruto
Though Naruto was acting rude, Rias didn't hold it against him. He wasn't thinking straight, he just wanted to save his friend. "While that nun maybe your friend, she is still an enemy to us. I wouldn't risk the life of the others just to save her Naruto. I'm sorry, but that is my decision."
She could see that Naruto was still very upset that the nun was taken away. It seems like he bonded to her already. It was hard to lose someone. She decided to give him some hope. "I don't think that they will harm her. They need her. They want the sacred gear inside her. Before I would have told you to worry as removing sacred gears usually killed the former wielder. But somehow the Fallen Angels have found a way to safely remove sacred gears. They already did so with Issei."
'Remove sacred gears safely and it's a recent thing. Must be what Jiraiya said about helping Azazel.'
Everyone saw Naruto get lost in thought. They though he must be relieved that Asia wasn't in any danger, but they were wrong.
"I think that's enough for today," Rias said clapping her hands close. "We will meet back here tomorrow. Enjoy."
With that everyone headed home.
(Timeskip)
Naruto lay in his room as he tried to sleep. No matter how many times he tossed and turned he couldn't manage it. Plagued with the guilt of not helping Asia, he blond couldn't get her out of his mind. Deciding to do something about it, even if it meant ignoring Rias' order, Naruto got out of bed.
He crouched down and reached under his bed bring out a scroll. Opening up, revealed several seals. Running his hands across from them and channeling his chakra, the contents of the seals were released. Sitting on the seal was a pile of weapons and an outfit.
Well I am done with the third chapter guys. Hope that you like it. Man, I'm on a roll. Hopefully I can keep this up, though there is about 20% chance of that happening. Only the third week of college and its slowly becoming work.
I got the fourth chapter already planned out, so hopefully I can update this story soon. But I'm not sure if I want to cut this Intro/Fallen Angel Arc and finish it next chapter, or finish it the following chapter. What do you people think?
Also I think the poll for which sacred gear Naruto should have is basically over. Number one isn't going anywhere apparently. I would tell you, but I feel like revealing it during the fight with Riser. But I will tell you the winner if you can figure out this math problem. LOVE * IS = BLIND. Each letter is a number 0-9, so the L in both LOVE and BLIND are the same number; as is the I in IS and BLIND. Figure it out if you want too, I don't care.
