Arc I: Sunset

Chapter One- Naruto Namikaze?

"Yo! I'm Naruto Namikaze, Nice to meet ya!" He said with a lazy wave.

Chaos ensued, he absolutely hated it.

" Do you have a girlfriend?" One girl said.

"Where are you from?" Another girl shouted.

"Oh great another pretty boy!" This time it was a guy that said that.

"Go back to where you came from!" Shouted another guy, "we don't need another Kiba!"

Another guy said, " I say we kill him." Okay that was avobviously a threat.

"Alright class, settle down!" The teacher said over the loud noise the students were making. He then turned to me " Now Namikaze-San, why don't you sit next to Gremory-San over there." He said as he pointed to a girl.

Said girl was extremely beautiful, she was dressed in the Kuoh Academy uniform for females. Which consisted of a white long sleeved button down shirt with vertical lining, and a black ribbon on the shirt collar. She also had a black shoulder cape which matched the black button down corset , a magenta skirt with white accents and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks.

However it wasn't her clothes but her hair that stuck out the most. It was a distinct crimson color that was similar to the color of blood. It flowed out from the top of her head to the back of her thighs, with a single strand at the top, and lose bangs covering her forehead. Her eyes were a blue-green color like gems and her skin was a porcelain white. She also has some of the largest breasts he had ever seen, which admittedly he had seen a fair amount of large breasted women in his life.

All in all, she was certainly a gorgeous woman by any man's and a few women's standards and.

He walked up to the empty chair beside her and the teacher began his lesson for the day.

All the while, Rias had been staring at him…wide-eyed.

Later

That was right, he was at Kuoh Academy. A prestigious school in the city of Kuoh Japan. Originally it used to be an all girls school, however in recent years it unexpectedly became a co-ed school. Consequently this lead to a larger number of females to males in the student population, which makes it an ideal location for all males. All males except him.

"Vultures… the lot of them" he mumbled to himself.

He was a fairly tall person, standing at a height of 180cm (5'11 ft) tall. He appeared to have black spiky hair and had blue eyes like the ocean, a trait that he had inherited from his father, pale skin and a round face.

He wore the standard Kuoh blazer, which was black with white accents with matching black pants and brown dress shoes. He however had forgone the white button up shirt and decided to wear a orange shirt instead.

All in all he was rather handsome, if a bit plain looking.

Currently he was wandering the endless halls of the Kuoh academy, during the lunch period . One of the reasons was to get away from all the people. Many of which were so faceless that all they could do was talk about the ones who had a sliver of individuality.

Another reason was he was keeping an eye out for something… interesting, so to say.

So far nothing but who knows what he could find.

Slam

His thoughts were ended when he turned the corner and abruptly slammed into something, or should he say someone.

"Sorry about that" he said, as he got up and lowered his hand to help the other person.

"No, no, no… it was my fault" she said as she grabbed the hand and used it to help herself up. The person was none other than the girl he had sat next to in class earlier.

"Well anyways, Miss um?" He asked, fishing for a name.

"Rias, Rias Gremory" she said introducing herself.

"Well Rias, I'm Naruto, Naruto Namikaze" He introduced himself in a similar manner. "But I have to ask… why were you staring at me earlier?" He asked, scratching his cheek a little.

Said girl had the decency to blush a little out of embarrassment for being caught red handed. "You noticed that?" She asked.

He chuckled a little, " it was kinda hard not to notice after you did it the entire class."

Rias then clutched a necklace that he didn't notice before. It was a silver chain with a matching silver vial with some kind of liquid inside. It was rather unassuming on her gorgeous frame that it almost looked unnoticeable.

"I guess you reminded me of a friend." She said, looking away in sadness.

Noticing the change in atmosphere," Was he a good friend?" He asked.

Rias smiled a little in remembrance, "Yes he was"

"Well if you don't mind me asking," He paused."What happened to this friend of yours?"

"He died" she said somberly, " in a fire."

Abruptly, and breaking the sad mood, the bell rang, signifying the end of the period.

" Well Rias-chan, if I can call you that?" Naruto said/asked.

The girl just nodded her head with a smile, "If I may call you Naruto-Kun."

"It's a deal!" He accepted. "Well Rias-Chan, I better head to class." He said with a wave, as he walked off.

He did however, narrow his eyes at a nearby office. Said office was for the school nurse who just so happened to have black circular glass with long silver hair put into a ponytail.

"I see" she stated as she looked over the chess board.

"You were right, 100 percent" said her [Rook].

Said girl, Koneko Toujou was a short petite girl with short white hair and golden eyes. She had two white bangs going past her shoulders and several lose bangs over her forehead, while the back had a short bob-cut, with two black cat hair clips on each side of her hair. For attire she wore the standard Kuoh uniform, although she had forgone the shoulder cape.

All in all she was incredibly cute, and often reminded people of a cat.

"Yeah you totally called it." Standing next to her was her [Queen, Akeno Himejima.

She had violet eyes that sparkled with mischief. Her long flowing black hair was styled into a high ponytail that reached down to her legs with an orange ribbon, with two strands sticking out from the top and backward. She also had, much to her own reluctance to admit, breasts that were in fact larger than her own. Like her she wore the full Kuoh uniform, except she had black calf-length socks instead of white.

All in all she was a model "Yamato Nadeshiko" or ideal Japanese woman.

"I'm just glad I asked you two to keep a close eye on him." She responded.

"Yup" came the short reply from Koneko.

Akeno then turned to her and asked "what's next, what do we do with him now?"

"We need to make our preparations immediately." She said as she moved her pawn.

Rias Gremory was having a great day, she had found out that one of the students here had a particular scent thanks to her [Rook, a draconic scent. Dragons were known to be strong creatures, with the weakest of their species usually being around a High-class devil in power. For a student to have the scent of a dragon he would have to have dragon blood or a dragon type sacred gear, and she was leaning towards the ladder. Dragon type sacred gears were powerful with even the weakest, that being the sacred gear, Twice critical which was able to double the users power, being useful.

To reinforce this, said student had been targeted by a fallen angel, when one had asked him out on a date. Sure it could have been that the former angel had fallen for her underclassmen but she doubted it.

For the Grigory to target a human, it meant that he was powerful. All she had to do was slip a flier onto his person and when he had a strong desire she would be summoned. And she would be there to save him and hopefully win his loyalty in one fell swoop.

With luck he had the potential to be a strong individual and he could help defeat Him, and get her out of the marriage her family had forced her into.

All in all her plans were set and she was having a good day.

That was until she had met him. He had reminded her so much of Him. He had similar spikey hair and he even had a love for orange judging by his shirt. However the thing that resembled her fallen friend the most was his eyes. Eyes that were so much like the ocean.

But he was gone… and he wasn't coming back

She felt her eyes water, she had long buried these emotions, but since this 'Namikaze' fellow came to kuoh they had been re-emerging.

"Rias. Are you alright?" Asked her [queen] with concern lacing her eyes.

"Its nothing, I'm fine." Wiping the tears she stood up and walked out of the room. She needed to be strong, especially in front of her peerage.

Even if it hurt… after all it had been so long ago.

As she left Akeno and Koneko had deep frowns marring their beautiful faces.

The next day

Issei Hyoudou was having the best day today. Why? You may ask, well today he had a date. A Date! With a Real Girl!

Two days ago he had almost had a heart attack when he had been asked out. And yesterday he had totally freaked out his two friends Matsuda and Motohama, when he showed up with his new girlfriend Yuuma Amano.

She was a girl any man would kill for, with a slender body and large bust. She had long black hair and violet eyes, with an innocent look to them.

First they had gone to a clothing store and tried on lots of outfits. He had even gotten her a pink scrunchie. Then they had gone out for some ice cream, where she had shown a large amount of her cleavage, so much so that he almost choked when she had almost caught him peeking. Then now they were rounding the entire date off at the park, it around sunset.

"I sure had fun today!" Yuuma said right next to him.

"Yeah, this was the best date ever." He replied It was then that he had almost touched her hand, and he nearly died, it was so amazing.

'Dude I think this is my chance to make a move' he thought to himself. It was then that Yuuma grabbed his hand, both of their faces were on fire. 'I'm touching her!'

She then abruptly let go of his hand and ran up to the nearby fountain. She then turned back to him, hands behind her back, she asked " Can I ask you a question? In honor of our first date, there is something I'd like you to do."

She then walked forward and bowed. Did

'I'm totally gonna get to kiss her! This rocks!' Issei mentally screamed.

"Sure, you can ask me for anything at all." He said quickly.

"Hum" she hummed, then tilted her head up. Her eyes losing all the innocence they had before. She asked, "Would you die for me?"

"What did you say?" He asked, cleaning his ear a little to hear her better. " Sorry, something must be wrong with my ears I don't think I heard you correctly. Could you maybe say that one more time please?" He said with a awkward laugh.

She then got up close, so close he could feel her warm breath on his skin and said in a whisper, "I want you to die for me."

She then backed away and her clothes had exploded off her body, leaving her completely in the nude. She grew taller, her breasts grew bigger and her eyes gained and evil glint. However the most notable thing was the dark, crow-like pair of wings that sprouted from her back.

It was then in a magical girl-like fashion, sparkles seem to surround her. Clothing materialized upon her perfect skin. However instead of the innocent clothing she had on before, these were a lot more provocative. Now she had on leather strap-like objects around and under her breasts, a thong-like piece held around her hips by three thin straps, gloves that ran right up her arms with small lengths of chains hanging from them, shoulder guard-like objects on her shoulders with three large spikes sprouting from her right shoulder, and black thigh-high heel boots.

All in all instead of the innocent school girl, she now looked like a mature woman with a fetish for S . Judging by her new smile, she was likely an S.

'She looks like a demon!' He mentally screamed, as he fell backwards. 'Are those wings!'

"Well I have to admit, I did have some fun today. Considering how naive and childish you are things could have been much, much worse." She then took a look to admire the pink scrunchie he had given her earlier." Thanks a lot for the gift, very sweet. But even so-" she held out her hand an a red light began to form in front of her into the shape of a spear. " it's time to die." Her voice was deeper, more malicious.

"Y-Yuma, Please!" He said in shock of her transformation.

She then threw the spear at him and he felt nothing but pain in his chest. Blood rushed out from the wound and he tried his best to apply pressure to the hole where his chest used to be.

"I'm sorry, but the fact is you were far too great a risk to us. I had no choice but to dispose of you" she said tauntingly. "If your looking for someone to blame, why not blame him! He gave you your sacred gear."

'What in the hell is she talking about?!' He thought, as blood erupted from his mouth and he fell onto his back.

"Oh! Thanks again for the lovely date, it was fun!" She said as she flew off, leaving behind black feathers when she assented .

All the while, as he lay dying on the floor in a pool of blood, he could only think of one thing, 'what a bitch.'

'Am I really about to die like this? Alone and pathetic, a giant virgin? If you were gonna kill me, couldn't you have let me squeeze or jiggle your jugs first? I only got to look at them for a second, but I could see how bouncy they were. Oh Yuuma!' Bringing his hand up with all the strength he had left, he could only stare at the blood that covered it.

'Red, the same color as her hair.' He thought about Rias Gremory in his final moments , ' darker than any hair I've ever seen. Just like the color running down my hand. Long beautiful, crimson hair… just like this.'

His hand collapsed to the ground and his breathing became even more ragged. 'Wait, why the crap and I talking like this? I'm about to freaking die! It's over! Damn, I can't even move anymore! Trying to touch a pair of orbs, what a stupid way for a person to die.' He admitted,' to be honest I know I've lived a shallow life, next time around one gonna try real hard to be a better person… the only thing I can think about is Rias. With her pretty red hair, and huge guzongas. If I'm gonna die, then why can't I do it by motorboating those glorious fun bags?'

A bright red light began to emerge from his person, and with it a bright red magic circle appeared in the sky.

Emerging from her summoning circle, a woman with blood red hair was brought forth in a shower of sparkles.

"I have come! You are the one who summoned me are you not?" Her hair and clothing billowed out in the wind.

'Who is that?' He thought.

"Since death is upon you, I will gladly take you in." It was then, not that he could see, bat-like wings began to emerge from her back. "From this moment forward, you will live your life for my sake."

Unknown to them, high up in the trees a person could be seen watching the entire scene. It was none other than Naruto 'Namikaze', the boy she had met earlier that week.

He chuckled to himself, " Way to go Rias-Chan . You always did have a flair for the dramatic." He said as If he were familiar with her for a long time.

It was then another being made it's presence known. "She must be pretty lucky to have gotten the Red Dragon Emperor in her peerage, though I doubt the White-one would be happy with his performance today."

It was a small creature, about the size of a dog. It resembled a fox, with a red-orange coat of fur. It however had a human-like torso with completely opposable thumbs on its clawed hands. It had black fur around its red menacing eyes that were slitted like a cat, with two rabbit like ears protruding from its head. However it's most notable feature was it's seven tails, that flowed like a fire around its back.

This was Kurama, his familiar that just so happened to be with him through everything that has happened in his life within the past decade.

Chuckling, "No, I doubt they will like how much of a pervert he is." He said fondly.

"Still no word of the snake?" The fox asked.

His eyes, the lost the happiness that they once had as he narrowed them."No but we do have confirmation he is within the school."

"I know, but I don't understand why he should choose here of all places." Kurama said lazily.

Naruto nodded, "Kuoh is a supernatural hotspot, simply by existing, this place attracts all sorts of strong creatures." He said, pointing at the fallen Red Dragon Emperor that was being dragged off to be healed as an example.

"But that is just the entire city,"he continued, "the snake is specifically in Kuoh Academy. Which is home to two High-Class Devils that just so happen to be related to two Maou. My guess is that he plans to do something with one or both of them. So for now we wait for him to make a mistake, as I continue to play the student."

Kurama grinned, showing his enlarged canines. "Well, with the death of his master, the snake will no doubt make a move soon."

Naruto showing a grin of his own, "I guess you're right." He agreed.

"Do you think that little red is onto you?" The demon kitsune asked.

"I think she has some feeling that I'm not who I say I am." He then gestured to the pair of bracelets that had strange writing on them, he had hidden underneath his uniform sleeves."But thanks to these seals I'm just a normal student."

He then gestured to the back of his neck, moving a few strands of his black hair. There was a piece of paper with similar writing to what he had on his bracelets.

He then channeled some magic into the seal.

His appearance changed, his black hair was now a bright yellow, similar to that of the sun. His pale skin became a lot more tan, which was another trait he had gotten from his father. Three whisker-like birthmarks marred each cheek.

All in all, if the boy earlier had been handsome, this boy would certainly be called exotic.

"Still I don't know why you chose a look so similar to yourself." Kurama admitted.

He shrugged to himself, "Most people don't pay attention to those around them enough to actually put it things together"

"And the orange?" Kurama asked.

"Hey don't dis they orange! Especially when I don't get to wear it often enough." He said, defending his favorite color.

"Do you plan for it to stay that way?" The fox asked.

He frowned."As far as she knows Naruto Uzumaki is dead, and it's best that it stays that way… for her sake."

Deciding to change the subject, he turned to the fox and asked, "How are the others doing?"

Kurama gained a thoughtful expression, as he put his paw/hand under his chin. "Rabbit, Shark and Owl are about finished with their mission, so they should return soon. Dog, Deer, Monkey and Raven are still on guard duty with the big fox. Your [Queen] is training as usual. And , Cat, Tanuki, And Slug, are off on their own ." He said giving the locations of his other peerage members.

"You know, when she finds out we are here, she isn't gonna be happy." The fox said after some thought.

Naruto knew exactly who he was referring to, he gained a bittersweet smile, "Yeah, she was always so overprotective." He missed that.

Naruto then leaned forward a little, "Tell them all to get ready, because I have a feeling that something Is gonna happen soon."

"Do you think it is the Red Clouds?" Kurama asked.

Instantly, Naruto got a dark expression at the mention of them. His eyes turned a blood red, the pupil shrunk and there appeared to be three tomoe encircling it. " I don't know, but for now we continue to wait for the snake to make its move."

Kurama nodded, he then disappeared in the darkness.

Naruto was alone with his thoughts, and all he could do was stare at the setting sun.

"Well Tomato-Chan i hope you are prepared, because dark storms are coming." He said in remembrance of his childhood friend.

Flashback ( 12 years ago)

"Naruto! Naruto! Naruto! We're about to leave Y'know!" A woman shouted.

Said woman was extremely beautiful, and appeared to be in her mid-twenties with fair-skin, a slender build and violet eyes. And she was wearing an ornate green dress that had a slit in the front to shown a moderate amount of her chest.

However, the feature she was most known for is her long red hair, which depending on who you asked was the color of a tomato. If you did ask those people and they responded as such it's likely that they wouldn't say that for very long as she had a reputation to beat those who called her that specific name.

Her name was Kushina Uzumaki, his mother. And currently, she was pissed.

How did he know? You might ask.

Well you could tell because currently, her hair was arranged itself into nine tail-like protrusions that were somehow defying physic, as they were floating.

Oh… and did he mention that her eyes were glowing, because they were… a menacing white.

He was in deep trouble it was best to hide.

"Now, now Kushi-Chan, I think I know how to get him to come out." Said a man.

Said man was almost an older version of himself. He had similar tan-skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. Like his own, his hair was spiking out, but his was longer, with two jaw-length bangs that framed his face. He was also wearing a very-expensive looking blue suit, with a white shirt and matching my blue tie.

This man was his father, Minato Uzumaki, formerly of the Phenex clan.

"Oh Naruto!" He shouted,"if you come out I'll try to teach you my signature technique."

"Really!" He called out from his closet, not thinking about his current situation at all.

It was then that he was pulled out by his mother from his collar. And it was then he realized his mistake, his mother raised her fist into the air and-

Smack

Out of the closet came out a young six year-old boy, with golden hair, blue eyes and three whisker marks on each cheek that made him look extremely cute.

He was currently nursing the lump on the top of his head, courtesy of his mother.

"Nope" his father said with an eye smile.

Pouting, he grumbled. "I don't understand why I have to go and meet some stuck up rich guys all the time."

"Well Naruto," his mother chastised as she waved her finger in the air. " today we are visiting the gremory estate, with Lord and Lady Gremory."

"I hear they have a daughter around your age, who knows you could be friends." She said in thought.

His mother then clasped her hands together and flowers appeared around her, which totally contrasted with her mood just a few minutes ago. "Or maybe she could be your girlfriend in the future, and you two fall in love, and get married. But don't have kids too soon, there are too many kids having children with hussies these days , Y'know." Tears then welled up in her eyes, "Oh Minato! Our kid is growing up too fast, it just felt like yesterday I was changing his diapers , Y'know!"

"MOOOOM!" He whined, interrupting his mother's ramblings.

Minato just chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, "Oh, I don't think we have to worry about that for a while Kushi-Chan."

His mother blushed out of embarrassment, "I know, it's just sometimes I start to ramble on and on, and it just doesn't stop. But I try to stop but I can't help it and it just gets out of control more and more, Y'know… And I'm gonna be quiet now." She said after she realized she had been rambling again.

"Alright, we'll let's go." He said, gesturing to the time. He then leaned down towards his ear, and whispered "and who knows, maybe I'll end up teaching you the first step of my rasengan if you behave."

"Fine" he sighed , wanting to get this entire thing over with.

One train ride later.

The Gremory estate was large, larger than his own family's house. It was grand, with a multitude of exotic plants. it was larger than it needed to be and was only good for one thing, a show of wealth. As devils, showing your own power was in your blood, but still. It just seemed too much.

After the guards let them in, the inside was much the same as the outside of the house, grand. The halls were heavy in the color red, with ornate and intricate paintings lining the walls.

They were led to a room by a maid, they had no doubt chosen one of the more beautiful ones they had on staff.

She stopped at a door, and bowed. "Lord and Lady Gremory are waiting inside." She said as she opened the door.

Inside were three people, two adults and one child.

The man, no doubt Lord Gremory. He had the appearance of a man in his mid-thirties, though he was likely much older than that. He had vibrant red hair that was tied into a loose ponytail, with a black hair band. He had bright blue-green eyes, with a short beard along his chin.

His wife, Lady Gremory had brown hair and violet eyes. Her hair was short, only going down to her upper back with two bangs framing her face and a single strand at the top. She wore a elegant white dress that was cut low to show off her large chest, it also showed the beautiful necklace with a violet gem that matched her eyes.

"Greetings, Lord and Lady Uzumaki. I hope your travels here have served you well." The Lord of House Gremory greeted.

His father stepped forward, " Greetings, Lord and Lady Gremory, our trip here was most pleasant, it is an honor to be here."

"Excellent! And might I say, the pleasure is all mine." He then gestured to his wife, or more specifically, the child hiding behind his wife.

The child, about his age, and judging by how much she resembled her mother, she would no doubt grow up to be beautiful. Like her mother her hair was long, with two bangs framing her face and a single strand at the top. However like her father she inherited his luscious crimson red hair and blue-green eyes.

She was obviously nervous.

"Allow me to introduce my daughter." He gestured to the child.

She stepped up and said the first thing that came to her mind.

"Whiskers"

He saw red, " Who ya callin whiskers! Ya Tomato!" He called out in rage.

Rias puffed her cheeks out at the remark and gave him a vicious glare. She was about to retort, only to turn pale as she got a look of her mother's stern look.

The Lady's of the two houses had enough reserve of their emotions to remain a calm-neutral, their husbands however did not. They were chuckling at at the scene, but they quickly regained their composure.

"Sorry about that." His father said while rubbing the back of his head.

Lord Gremory chuckling, " No need, I should be the one to apologize."

Lady Gremory bumped her child with her elbow to signal for her to speak.

She bowed, "My apologies, my name is Rias Gremory, heir to the Gremory Clan."

"Whatever you say tomato" he grumbled.

Smack

"Ow!" he said, nursing the bruise his mother had inflicted upon him.

To which he received a similar injury to what he had gotten earlier from his mother .

Sighing he conceded, " I apologize as well" he said with a bow, " My name is Naruto Uzumaki, heir to the Uzumaki clan."

Lord gremory clasped his hands together, "Excellent! Now Rias, why don't you take young Naruto here and show him around the estate. I know these things can get a little boring for you."

"Alright Father." She said, as grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door.

"Come on Whiskers-Kun, I have so many places to show you!" All the while he was kicking and screaming for her to let go.

"Kids these days." Zeoticus said in mirth.

XXX

Rias had certainly been enthused to show him her estate, even if it was needlessly large. Maybe she just didn't get a lot of time to spend it with children their age.

He had given up on trying to free his hand from her vice-like grip. It was like he just met a younger version of his mother.

That thought had terrified him.

"And this is my room!" She said, stopping at a door.

"Sweet" he went up and opened the door.

"Wait!" Rias said in a panicked tone.

Inside was a what you would expect of a normal bedroom. It had a large princess style bed, a window to look out of with a nice view, and it even had a large Tv.

What you wouldn't expect, was the large amounts of anime; plushies, memorabilia, posters, figures and a wide collection of manga that all lined the walls. She had a little bit of everything from action to romance to thrillers, no specific genre. It told him one thing about Rias he would have never guessed.

It just screamed she was a japanophile.

Looking back at the owner of the room he could see her blushing madly out of embarrassment, she wouldn't make eye contact with him at all. She had even let go of his hand in her panic.

"You probably think I'm werid… don't you?" She muttered out.

"Yes" he said, without a moments hesitation.

That just made her shrink in on herself more. She covered her now redder face with her hands and she kept her gaze firmly on the floor, as if she wished it would swallow her whole.

He felt like an ass for barging into her room like that.

He laid a hand on her shoulder.

"But… it also makes you cool." He said, surprising the girl.

She peeked her eye out from her hands and asked timidly, "it does?"

"Of course it does!" He said, reaffirming his earlier statement. "It makes you different from the other boring people I've met!"

"And that makes me cool?" She asked, shocked by his statement.

"Yup!" He confirmed.

"Would you… would you want to watch some with me?" She asked.

He'd never watched any of this stuff before, " I uhh… Sure."

Her smile brighten the entire room, it was beautiful.

And before he knew it he was watching an anime with the girl he had just met a few hours ago.

It was fun.

XXX

"Oh they're so cute!" His mother squealed.

Venelana giggled at the scene, while Minato and Zeoticus had smiles on their faces.

The scene they were staring at was Naruto and Rias curled up next to each other, asleep on Rias's bed. Both had a content smile on their faces as the laid in each other's embrace.

It seems they had fallen asleep while watching their show.

"Aww, young love!" Zeoticus sighed wistfully.

"Let's get the cameras," his father shouted.

End Chapter.

An: And that is the end of chapter one. I don't have an idea of where this story is going and plans for the next chapters.

A little short of a chapter, being about 5.5k words.

Next chapter should be longer, either bringing us to the end of the Asia Argento Arc or the climax of it.

Originally I planned for me to write this chronologically, which would add like 5-10 more chapters (not kidding). Then I decided to write it at the start of canon and explain the things in flashbacks at the end or beginning of chapters, plus I might make full chapters of long flashbacks sometime .

I think it just makes things easier and provides a lot more to the mystery.

Why does everyone think Naruto is dead?

Why is Naruto in Kuoh?

Why is Naruto a devil? (If you did figure that out already)

Who are the red clouds?

Why does Naruto have the sharingan?

How do they know Yasaka and the White Dragon Emperor?

Who is "the snake" that Naruto is waiting for?

Who is Naruto's mysterious overprotective [Queen]?

Who are Naruto's other peerage members?

What's the pairing?

When does the next chapter come out?

Will I make more cute young Naruto and Rias moments?

So many questions, so little answers. Some of which I don't even know the answers to because I keep changing the peerage members every single day, which really makes things a lot more difficult.

Try to guess who I put in the peerage by their ANBU style code name.

Tiger , Owl, Shark, Monkey, Deer, Dog, Raven, Cat, Rabbit , unnamed [Piece] and unnamed [Queen]

I did change the peerage a bit, so no more Tengu and Skull

Plus I added Tiger and Rabbit instead (srry)

I might change the peerage members code names because I just keep changing who is in the peerage or because a different name fits the character better.

Some stories I might've take inspiration from are:

' Naruto:The Devilish Sage' by Plasma Assassin- Which is a good read and I'm sad to see it hasn't been updated in a while.

'Servant? I Think Not' By- it's really good and shows a lot of the characters from other pantheons

Devil's body with soul of an Angel- it is good and adds perspective to some of the characters, but the main character is a bit of a Gary Sue

Little bit of 'Devil Ninja' by The Engulfing Silence and 'Breakthrough' by NarutoPlug (which is really good and I recommend it)

Ja Ne
