Chapter 6 - Fighting 101


Next Day

Dojo, Uzumaki's Compound

"I'm ready sensei!" An eager Issei shouted in his training outfit. Last night dinner at Naruto's was a real eye opener. Inside his dojo was only Issei, Asia, Rias, and Akeno. He was disappointed on the turn out. He could tell that Rias had the same feelings, but she didn't have the heart to force her servants. Her love for them was far greater than her own desire for freedom from the contract.


Flashback

"You suck." Naruto deadpanned towards Rias. Everyone in the room could only sweat-drop at his statement.

"Ah Naruto-san, what do you mean by that?" Asia asked innocently.

"Master means that Rias's peerage is a bad choice for battle." Himari explain for the man that she swore to serve and protect for the rest of her life. "Rias choose all her piece more whimsically. All her piece do have great potential, but at their current strength, they will be more of a weakness than power. Then there is to take account that the entire peerage focus mainly on power." While Naruto was nodding to all her points.

Kunou then took over the explanation to Asia as she was now beginning to see the point. "Rias is more of an offensive wizard-type." Issei raised his hand.

"What do you mean by 'wizard-type'?" He asked. He understood that offensive meant that she attacks more than defend.

"Issei-san, a person can be generally judge by their fighting style. A wizard-type is a person that uses magic as their fighting style. Rias-san will fall under that category because she uses her inherited power, the Power of Destruction. Akeno-san falls under the same category because she uses lighting magic. Then we have the speed-type which they use their speed to take advantage of their opponent. They need to be faster than their opponent to win. This is where Kiba-san will fall under as an offensive kind because he uses his swords in conjunction with his knight piece that gives him a boost in speed. Then we have a guardian-type, they fight while taking a lot of damage. That would be Koneko-san falls under, but she has more power to deal with damage, so she could also fall under a warrior-type. A person that uses physical strength to beat their opponent, so Koneko-san is more a hybrid of the two, so I can't really say if she is offensive or offensive without learning more. Keep in mind that there are more types out there." Kunou answered.

"In all, the balance of the team is off. Your peerage will be able to overwhelm people in the future, if they achieve their potential, but now, the team won't stand a chance against a well balance team. You have no support or defense orientated form. Everyone is offense. You have no real support or anyone to take aggro and survive. Koneko doesn't have the needed defense to be a front line tank." Naruto finished.

Issei began to understand how combat styles work in conjecture with team battles. It was pretty simple. He could definitely agree with Koneko part because he been on the other end of her fist before. "What type would I be?" He asked. Curious because he only heard the other devils.

Kunou open her mouth, but closed it because she couldn't find the answer. She continued this for a few more seconds. Making Issei falter, while others laugh. "...Y-You don't really have a fighting style. You may have the Boosted Gear, but you don't really use magic or any physical skills to classify in any of the types. Sorry."

"All come on!" He shouted in frustration. He took a minute to rant till he calm down. "How about you guys?" This peak Rias's and Akeno's interest. They didn't know that they were wizard-type. Well, that was due to them not being around combat as often, so they really didn't learn about it. They wanted to know what their friends fighting style.

"I'm an offensive weapon-type. Shigure would fall under the same category." Himari answered.

"Wouldn't that mean Yuuto is a weapon-type too?" Rias asked. Her knight did have the Sword Rebirth sacred gear.

"Not really. Yes he does use a weapon, but there is no real sword technique in his fighting style. He uses his speed to make it look like he does. A weapon-type use weapon technique. Kiba is just making quick slashes. It can't really be considered a weapon skill." Himari explain. Her swords skills were far superior than Kiba's. Kiba would fall under western sword play with no real technique behind their attack.

Rias nodded, understanding the difference. She figured that sword skills wasn't just swinging a sword because if that was true, everyone will be classified as a weapon-type.

"I'm a supportive-offensive nature-type. nature-type are usually for youkai because a nature-type is usually found using chakra and/or senjutsu." Kunou answered. Both chakra and senjutsu were energy of life and youkai are known for that power.

Naruto gave a small embarrass chuckle. "I'm considered as a dragon-type."

"Dragon-type?" Akeno, Rias, Issei, and Asia asked. Clearly unaware of such a term exist.

"A dragon-type is more of a person using pure destructive power. You would usually find a dragon-type fighter as someone in the Top Ten or a wielder of a Longinus." Naruto explain as vague as possible. He didn't want to explain the true reason why he's considered a dragon-type.

"I still don't understand how you would be classified as a dragon-type." Rias pressed for information.

"Well, the dragon-type doesn't classify to any of the other type. It more classify itself as almost everything. I have great control with the holy sword, Kusanagi, I wield an Essence Flame, I'm a unique senjutsu master, and a powerful chi user." Naruto added on. 'There is also my Heavenly Body Magic. That is want truly makes me a dragon-type. A fighter that uses a certain power that is only found amongst the most powerful beings, dragons and gods.' Naruto thought to himself. They didn't need to know that.

Rias then understood. "Your power is the most diverse and all very powerful... All very destructive. So a dragon-type is just complete overwhelming power." She thought out loud. "Should I assume that there are no such thing as offensive, supportive, or defensive for a dragon-type?" She asked. Only for Naruto to nod. A dragon-type is pure power. There is nothing that need to be said.

"Why is it called dragon-type?" Asia asked. She understood why the fighting style had their own name, but this one didn't make sense to her.

"Asia, dragons are concentrated power given form. Dragons are power. By saying a person is a dragon-type, that would mean that the person uses great power." Akeno explained as she knew about the power of dragons.

"Pretty much." Naruto stated. "The only person that comes to mind that is a dragon-type that isn't a god or dragon, is your brother, Rias." Rias wasn't surprised by that tidbit. She knew that the Power of Destruction was extremely powerful. It would make sense to classify Sirzechs. "Even if I train your entire peerage with only a weak worth of training, it won't be enough. Your team is too unbalance and they're not ready to face powerful foes."

After a moment of silence...

"How about me?"

All eyes went towards the source of the voice. It was Asia that asked the question.

"What do you mean Asia-chan?" Issei asked.

"I mean, how about I help Rias-senpai?" Asia answered. Surprising everyone.

"Asia... You do know that would mean you becoming a devil." Naruto asked her seriously. Giving up your humanity isn't something that can be made easily, in his opinion. "If you become a devil, that would mean you won't be able to pray to God or any other deity for the rest of your life or touch any holy objects."

"I know, but I still want to help Rias-senpai. She was nothing, but kind to me and I don't feel right letting this happen." Asia replied.

"She is a healer-type, but even adding her, the difference of strength won't be much." Himari thought out loud. Rias was still shock that Asia, the devoted Christian, would become a devil to help her.

"Would you be mad at me if I became a devil?" Asia asked the members of the Shinto faction with tears in her eyes. She didn't want to lose her friends for helping her other friends.

Kunou rush over to hug her. "Never. You will always be my friend. No matter what." Kunou declared.

Naruto gave a small smile. This was the potential of humanity that he always saw where everyone else overlook. 'It's not the potential of power, the potential to do great evil, or the potential for something good. Humanity's potential is to do what they believe in and not allowing anyone stop them. Gods, devils, dragons, or angels. All will fall if they get in our way.' He thought. He could see that Asia was going to become a devil no matter what. She was worried about her friendship with them. "No Asia. I won't stop being your friend."

"That's great!" Rias jumped in joy. She was always planning to recruit her. Just in the more morally corrupt way. This was the best way to recruit people into devil-hood. Even Naruto won't stop anyone, as long they knew exactly what they were getting themselves into.

After dinner, Asia became Rias's bishop. Sadly, she had to move out. Her devil body couldn't handle living in such a holy place for an extended period. Her body was still adjusting to being a devil and she never built any resistance to any holy artifact. It would take a long time for her to be able to tolerate being in the presence of any holy object for an extended time. She would never be able to touch or read any form of holy object without feeling pain for the rest of life. Something that she agreed to, to help her friend.

End of Flashback


"I hoped that Kiba and Koneko would show up." Rias said sadly. She knew that Kiba was struggling with not attacking Naruto on sight due to his ownership of the holy sword, Kusanagi. Then there is Koneko that became terribly afraid of Naruto because of Kuroka's presence. She became quite reclusive during school time. Hoping to avoid Naruto and his group at all cost because of her fear of her sister.

"At least you didn't force them. I can respect that." Naruto tried to console her.

"Well, Issei. Let's start with you. Summon your sacred gear." Naruto told Issei.

"Yosh!" He shouted as he summon the Boosted Gear.

"Good. Issei, the problem is that you don't know how to fight." Depressing him. "I would usually start off by beating the shit out of you to get a vibe from you, but I can't bring myself to do that, so..."

"So what?" Issei asked. He didn't like to hear that he would get beat up, but understood. He never fought anyone. Well, never got into a real fight. He needed to know how to fight, so he would suck it up.

Before he answered, a gust of wind blew into the dojo and Shigure stood next to Naruto with her katana drawn with blood already on it. Issei fell down as he grip his stomach. He realize he was slash by Shigure.

"That's impossible." Rias muttered. She notice that Shigure's sword is a simple steel katana. A devil's body is far too durable for such a human weapons to hurt them.

Shigure understood her disbelief. She figured she lived a very sheltered life and didn't understood anything that didn't involve the devil race. "A sword is only the extension of my body..." She told her in her usual stoic voice.

"This is why she is considered a weapon-type. A true weapon-type fighter won't need a special weapon. Their skills apply to themselves, not their weapons. They could use anything as a weapon. Magical or not. One time when I was hunting devils around Japan earlier in life, I saw Shigure kill a devil with a wooden spoon." Naruto told them. The devils didn't believe him, except Asia. She could only praise how strong Shigure is. Which made the swordswoman very proud of herself.

"Try to not die..." Shigure told Issei as she slowly approach him with her katana. Ready to draw more blood.

"EHHHHHHHH!" Issei screamed as he started to run away from the crazy lady.

"Should we help Issei-san?" Asia asked Kunou.

"No. Issei needs to know how to fight. The best and quickest way to be dropped into the battlefield. This would be the safest way." She answered.

Everyone watch as Issei tried to run. Eventually, Issei gave up and tried to fight back. Failing of course.

"How long would this take?" Akeno asked out loud.

"I think we should leave them be. Shigure will only allow him to leave if he face her properly." Naruto told her as he begin to walk out of the dojo. "Come along." The others followed. Himari took a few pictures of Issei running away and crying from Shigure. She had a problem with her Master's childhood friends.
