two do consider to subscribe my channel and Share my video to your friends and check out the description as well let's start the video as he had stared death in the eye or rather his best friend during his final moments nuto had gone through every moment in his life that had meant something up to that point until eventually he was claimed by what should have been Eternal Darkness it was at that moment that he should died in his final moments he talked with her about anything and everything that felt appropriate reminiscing about the days in the academy before everything went wrong their first mission that had gone horribly wrong once they'd encountered a couple of Rogue nin from Kiri and up until the retrieval Mission they' shared a couple of quick jokes about that fight and the irony that their last one had been here as well it felt a bit poetic that the place that started the last parts of their Journey was also the place that ended it before he felt his Consciousness start to leave him he'd seen the people that helped him before his eyes his parents the old man sand Dame the pervy Sage Kakashi Sensei and all of his friends he made along the way in the end he couldn't really say that he had many regrets his biggest regret was that he hadn't made it to Hokage but he had managed to save her and in the end that's what really mattered to him their endless game of cat and mouse had come to an end right where it had started so he died with a smile on his face well that was what he had believed at least it was safe to say he'd been surprised and flabbergasted once his Consciousness had developed enough to understand that he wasn't dead no he'd been reborn in a world that was beyond strange at least to him since everything that had once been normal to him was practically a fairy tale here well everything in this world was what should have been a fairy tale the irony of the Fate that he had tried to deny for his entire life it wasn't that bad aside from the fact that he missed everyone in the place he used to call home his new family had also questioned why he hadn't referred to the mansion as his home for quite a while but he managed to blame it on the stupid of being a kid until he had gotten enough used to the place he couldn't quite get used to the idea of not being an orphan anymore either it was quite surreal in this place he had parents that loved him an older sister and an older brother as well everything he'd ever wanted really though he still felt that something was missing and he didn't need to think long about it before an image to mind he often thought about his past like this sitting in his room just staring out of the window as the image of her face the rare time she smiled came to mind even after 17 years he could still remember her face clear as day then again people always said the first thing you forgot was the sound of their voice and he missed it a great deal he let out a soft sigh as the image faded from his eyes and watched his reflection in the window well it was ironic he couldn't stop himself from letting out a few Chuckles in this life he'd probably gotten the appearance that his first mother Kina had hoped he gotten back in the elemental Nations well he'd once been blonde he was now reded his hair was as usual pretty messy but his facial structure reminded him more of his new older brother and his eyes had the same blue green look to them his wardrobe had also gone through a bit of a change well that was probably what you had to expect when you got reborn as a son of the House of grory currently it was his sister that was the ays and she was in an unfortunate situation she was betrodd to the youngest son of the House of Phoenix an absolute [ __ ] if you were to ask him nuto leted out a small grunt as he stood up and watched himself in the reflection he could be seen wearing a long red jacket that was was unzipped thus revealing the black long sleeved shirt beneath to finish it off he was wearing black pants boots and brown shoulder guards on top of the jacked B orange was usually his preferred color he couldn't quite help but love red as he told his mother back when he met her in the seal that held carama he'd have loved to have her red hair and now well he did have that hair though he was still missing a lot from his old home it was one of those situations where every time he went to bed in the evening he' felt a clenching in his chest while thinking back to the count memories he had he really missed them all and while he cared deeply for his family here there wasn't much he wouldn't trade for a chance to speak to everyone back home again at least just for a little while especially because he didn't know if they were all right whether or not they were still trapped in the infinite suomi he could only wonder about it since there were no real answers to his question no matter how hard he looked for them as he sat there in the window of his room in the Underworld just thinking he soon found himself brought out from his line of thought the magic circle of communication appeared before his ear which made him raise his brow in Surprise Naruto are you awake a soft feminine voice spoke about as he nodded well not that she could see it so it was probably more for himself than anything he chuckled a bit and moved down from the windowsill and went to lay down in his bed staring up at the ceiling as he kicked his boots off yeah I'm awake what can I do for Urias is everything all right a silent laugh met his ears as he folded his arms under his head just wanted to hear your voice it's been a bit since I've seen my little brother after all how is life treating you well enough just training and studying a bit every now and then I hate books though Dad can't give me a break about it he snorted with a small pout Bri has let out another small laugh at that yeah I can imagine just hanging there are you coming to kuo anytime soon nuto let out a soft hum as he readjusted himself on the bed I don't know I probably could I don't feel like staying down here much longer anyway let's just say that Dad and I are budding heads about more than just the whole studying thing it's a bit of a problem really please go easy on him I think I got an idea why you're arguing so much rid softly I'll try but it's not easy I don't like what's going to happen with you I wish I could do something but that old man is even more stubborn than you can be he joked idly and ran a hand through his Crimson locks his older sister well he couldn't see it was smiling on the other end of the line as she spoke softly to him not much we can do about it I really don't want to either you know that maybe just maybe we can find a solution I don't want to just have someone picked out for me you know I want to be able to pick the person myself nuto once again nodded yeah I know I'll talk to you soon R I'm going to go out and train here in a bit I need to get some frustrations out of my system all right take care nuto come visit soon even aeno misses you she joked slightly as the connection along with a magic circle disappeared from his ear and he sat up again theid sat up and put on his boots again as he started to wander around his room which was fairly large well they did live in a mansion so he had everything he could dream of inside his room like if he didn't need food he could live there in there with no trouble at all it made him chuckle a bit since he was once forced to live in an apartment where you couldn't even count on the water temperature or whether or not the fridge was cooling properly he'd never forget that spoiled milk from before he got on team seven well he normally despised the idea of Fate he had to thank it for one thing though he'd somehow despite the ridiculously low chance managed to keep his old name nuto so he at least had that for as long as he was going to be in this world and since he'd found out Devils almost lived forever well there was a chance he'd be here for a really long time he wouldn't jinx anything though since he had quite the history of getting into trouble but the last chuckle at that thought he exited his room and began walking down the hallway of the Mansion be stop would Echo slightly off the walls as he minded his own business but he did politely greet the maids that occasionally passed by him as they were carrying out their duties for the day where are you going at this hour Naruto theed stopped in his track as the familiar sound sound of a voice he grown up with met his ears he stood completely still as he closed his eyes for a second taking in a breath before he turned his head to meet the Gaze of a man with long red hair that looked a lot like him Nudo fidgeted a bit in place as he replied just going out to train to vent some frustrations I guess I won't take long zeoticus let out a slight hum as he gathered his hands behind his back may I ask why you're frustrated a younger Reed clenched his fist and dug his nails into the palm of his hand as a sour look fell upon his face I'm quite sure that you know why I'm angry and yet you still don't seem to care so why do you want to address it again do you like making me matter or something his father narrowed his eyes slightly as he became visibly a bit tenser I don't like that tone you're using well that's an odd coincidence I don't like the decisions you make Naruto shot back with a roll of his eyes zeoticus frowned as his lips fell into a thin line what is this really about you've been hostile for quite a while it worries your mother and me we figured you were long past this phase Naruto threw his arms out in a shrug as he turned around to face his father then you tell me how I'm supposed to feel you're forcing my sister to marry some kind of a self-obsessed [ __ ] and for what it makes you look good I don't get it it is her Duty I've explained this many times in the past son zeoticus defended stressing his sentence through his teeth a grimy snorted at it with a mocking chuckle you're right like it's apparently my duty to believe whatever crap you feed me how can you do that to her give me one good reason outside the usual crap that makes it seem like you got any right to do what you're doing zota stepped up to him with a shake of his head she is the ays to the house of gry she has a duty to this house and this is it it'll give us a tie to the Phoenix can't you see how much is at stake me what about yourself can't you see that it's ruining her life you got no right to mess around with her life like it's some kind of chess piece in some stupid game Naruto shouted back as he slammed his fist against the wall the older grimy rubbed the bridge of his nose you will never learn it seems why can't you understand that is the head of a house in a society like ours you sometimes need to make decisions that serve a higher purpose I don't know maybe because it's beyond stupid and irrational you are forcing Rya my sister to be degraded into some kind of object if that's how you treat your family then I want out strip me of my name I don't give a crap if that's family love of the grimy I'd rather have no last name Naruto hissed out through gritted teeth refusing to look his father in the eyes zeoticus unfolded his arms from behind his back and gave the young man a small I'm starting to believe I've spoiled you too much I had high hopes for you yet you stand before me as nothing but a child nuto laughed as he walked up to his father standing just a few inches away and you're an old man and a fool I think it's about time that you back off before you force me to do something I'll regret son zeoticus warned in a dangerous tone the younger redid rolled his eyes as he stood right up in his dad's face oh I'm starting to want you to make me come on then before any of them could say anything further a form stepped in between them and put pushed Naruto slightly backward with a gentle push then Alana zotus asked as he looked down at his wife with a sense of curiosity in his gaze the brown-haired woman shook her head and held a hand on her youngest child's shoulder how about you go to our room zotus I'll speak with our son and resolve this issue letun not make any Bad Blood come into this family he is being disrespectful he does not know his place in this house zota said with a shake of his head then Ali our room now I said I'd handle this and I plan to do so the head of the grimy family shot a look between his wife and his son before he sighed and left without another word The Echoes of his footsteps would soon start to faint until they could no longer be heard jerk Naruto snorted and crossed his arms over his chest looking out of the window as he tried to calm himself down then Alana shook her head and patted his arm I know you're having a hard time coming to terms with the arrangement I just hope that you know that well your father sees this as the best for the house his views as a dad are completely different don't you think he'd rather Aria true love somewhere Nudo Shrugged his shoulders how should I know all he seems to care about is our damn name his mother let a faint smile Grace her lips as she reached up to touch his cheek and turn his head look at me your dad loves R don't misunderstand his actions for anything they're not I can't understand them if I don't know what he is thinking he answered in a soft tone well he was angry at his dad his mother hadn't done anything wrong as far as he knew then Alana just patted his hand and readjusted his jacket take a trip to kuo go visit your sister I think both you and your father need a bit of space to think clearly plus Aria always knew how to calm you down I doubt she would have an issue this time too then the reded scratched the back of his head fine I plan to go there soon anyway then be on your way say hi to Ras for me I'll try and talk with zeoticus but I can't promise much you know how it is make sure she is all right I can understand if she is stressed out his mother finished with a small squeeze of his hand before she started walking down the hallway in the same direction his father had went as he watched her disappear around the corner he let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding if velana was anything like kha she probably had everything under control it made him laugh a bit there really was nothing like a mother's wrath oh well he'd have to take an opportunity to kick his old man's ass another time the reded Walts through the streets of KU leading toward the academy as he whistled a soft tune to himself it was mostly just to pass the time as he made his way to the occult research club though as he got there he sweat dropped at the side of the very much empty room hello he called out into the room and blinked but there came no response it was quite odd because he for sure knew the Trias was around the clu room at this time they should be out doing contracts but it felt like something was wrong Naruto clicked his tongue as he looked around the place for a bit and took a seat in Ria's chair at the lone desk in the room swinging his feet up onto the table he sat with his fingers folded across his stomach as he counted the seconds passing which wasn't for very long since his impatience started to show but a grunt he stood up again and began to exit the building well if there was one way to surprise her he could always just track her down he let out a soft chuckle as he opened the door leading outside and leaped into the air folding out his wings which he still was quite amazed about and flew in the direction he could feel Ria's magic signature though something was off and that was the amount that was leaking around in the area either she was having a violent argument with a Keno again or there was trouble either way he decided that he probably should hurry a tad bit more as he flew over the city of kuo the lights of the street lamps below him passed by in blurs as he got to the outskirts of the town and had to raise a brow at the side of a church that's weird he commented as he stopped in the middle of the air a couple of hundred feet away so he could look in through the windows his blue green eyes eyed the situation inside carefully which wasn't something his former self would have done but since he'd been born a new he'd have a lot of opportunities to learn to be better the scene in front of him caused many questions to rise in his mind the church looked well destroyed but the people in there were what caught his attention on the the left side toward the door he could see his sister and what appeared to be four members of her peage if he were to judge by their uniforms he knew three of them aeno keno and kibba but the last one that had to be someone new and judging by the red Gauntlet he was wearing he had to be a user of a sacred gear even with that in mind he looked worse for where with a whole dripping blood in both his legs leaving him nothing but a [ __ ] in the current situation that looked like it was about to escalate any second but who is that he asked out loud next his eyes narrowed at the group of on the opposite side of the church he could see five individuals and the thing they had in common was the fact that they were Fallen Angels they were quite a colorful Bunch with three women and one guy but there was something strange about particularly one of them four of them were looking like they were about to drop unconscious from exhaustion and wounds and had one pair of wings however the woman at the front had six wings and she looked perfectly fine nuto hum thoughtfully as he flew down to the entrance of the church and leaned in against one of the support beams to listen in on the conversation well he'd usually just rather drop down through the ceiling this was a more sensitive matter that he couldn't quite just disturb in case he got the wrong idea you know I can't just let you go without further Ado after such an incident it wouldn't look well for the house of grimy he could hear his sister say as he crossed his arms over his chest though the next voice seemed just a tad bit uninterested I don't see that you have much of a choice well there might be five of you and five of us you're still severely outnumbered your servant can barely stand and he is guarding a corpse Bri is Ed well lay might not be able to fight it doesn't look like your crew can do much better we've already established we Superior in that matchup so what will the addition of you increase in terms of chances the woman sighed slightly that will not be an issue either way the chances are in my favor I don't see the need to make any more out of the situation the odds are not in your favor lady grory nuto shook his head as he figured that was his cue to get involved well he probably shouldn't but he'd be damned if anyone talked to his sister that way without him having a say in what was going to go go down next leaning up from the wall he cracked his knuckles and entered through the front door then how about we even the odds he called out as his footsteps began to Echo throughout the church his appearance catching the attention of the people inside who all had mixed opinions upon seeing him Ras looked both pleased and surprised but there was also a hint of anxiety on her face she probably had no idea what her unpredictable little brother was about to do or why he was here in the first place the Fallen Angels looked both skeptical and annoyed the favor they were certainly had was starting to look slimmer by the second Naruto what are you doing here Rya asked as she took a step back to meet him halfway there standing quite close to him as she kept her eyes glued to the group of fallen in front of them upon hearing the name of the newcomer the Fallen Angel with six wings eyes widen for a brief moment a look that couldn't quite be described was on her face until she visibly calmed herself down again it was like she'd seen a ghost which caused both a sense of curiosity and fear to go through her subordinates behind her the redid Shrugged his shoulders I thought I'd come and visit my sister but I guess you were already having guests though trust me they were not invited she shot back with a snort yet you do not seem keen on letting us go one of the Fallen Angels with blue hair mouth through gritted teeth the Grimmy air scratched the back of his head okay so can I get a rundown of the situation and the names here because like they might be fallen but I'd feel weird about calling them Fallen one Fallen two you get what I mean his older sister that to fight the urge to show an amused smile well from left to right there is the one that started all of this Rainer and her three accomplices Dona kower and middled what about the one in the front Naruto asked next as his eyes narrowed slightly at this aeno bit the inside of her cheek that is my sister sori At The Mention Of that name a flash of pain went through his head nuto visibly grunted as several images of his past life came to mind again and he grasped his forehead it was a name he hadn't expected to hear again and once he took a look at her it only made it worse because she looked just like her with a tad bit of differences but it was the same Raven her and anik's eyes he felt a bit of nausea build up within him as he could have sworn it was her that even a stranger with a picture from the elemental nations would say it was the same girl but it was impossible are you okay Rya asked with concern as she touched his arm with a worried gaze the younger redid gave a quick nod as he was brought out of his line of thought yeah I'm all right so what's the situation R aside and took a step forward not truly convinced but decided to let it go for now let's just say they haven't been playing nice and Rainer even went as far as to both kill and torture my new pawn isay and killed a holy sister to Steal Her Sacred gear on our territory with the amount of disrespect and actions against our house I cannot let them go with just a lifted finger the younger brother bit his tongue as he let out a grunt you there he called out to the one at the front trade offer give us one of your subordinates as a penalty for the actions done against our family and we let the rest of you go sori narrowed her eyes at him I don't have the power to do that it is not within the orders I've been given you know this can only end one of two ways and I gave you the most peaceful solution he retorted with a hand on his hip the raven-haired woman gave him a curious stare I'm well aware I've given my Solutions she paused and looked back with a look that turned Stone Cold serious you for leave now brainer shook her head as she stood back up to her feet lady sori we couldn't possibly I gave you a direct command and you'd only make everything worse I'll make sure Azazel hears of this she interrupted quickly effectively silencing the red-eyed woman reluctantly let out of her wings and flew out through a broken window behind them soon followed by the rest of the Fallen Angels Ras took a quick step forward what do you think you're doing I wasn't done yet as the crimson-haired girl finished her sentence her Queen was quick to follow up that's enough what can you possibly hope to accomplish by this it has gone too far and you know it Siri sighed with a small frown as she took a step forward as well as I said I have my orders well the inconvenience it causes for you doesn't please me I'd rather not betray my direct superiors in a similar fashion as the others they have caused enough problems with the current situation but a quick glance between the two women Naruto reached forward and placed a hand on Ria's shoulder why don't you let me handle this one it should be me her subordinates have H members of my purage Ria's quickly replied nuto shook his head that's true but she hasn't and given I'm an intruder here as well why don't you just let us Misfit sort this one out go take care of your new purage member he looks ready to break down or pass out or both I can't really tell buet didn't please her she couldn't deny that her page did need some attention well they'd been winning with little difficulty aside from aay who got quite beaten up the tables had turned completely once aeno sister had shown up even Kiba and keko had some bruises soas knew that the raven-haired woman was quite a formidable opponent compared to the others Pine but don'tk get hurt Rya relented as some of her caring sides began to show oh don't worry it'll be fine after all I'm the strongest he chuckled and began walking a couple of steps forward toward who'd inevitably become his opponent of the day the Dark-eyed woman shook her head as she dropped down from the altar she'd been standing on I don't know if you've been in a fight before but there is usually not this much talking she commented with what appeared to be a small grin on her face I'm well aware Naruto commented as he stopped in place eyeing the woman in front of him part of him couldn't the flickering image out of his head that it was the same girl he'd once been on a team with he knew better though he'd lost in that last fight and died so well he could easily imagine that SCP Ed headband on This Woman's forehead and recognized they shared the same name he knew it wasn't her it was not the girl he'd spent several years chazzing after back in the elemental Nations so she began visibly on edge as she stared him down the situation was tense to most it it just be because of the inevitable fight however to them it was because they both felt like they were seeing someone they hadn't seen in a lifetime ladies first Naruto commented with a slight chuckle making both R and keko roll their eyes in the background the woman rolled her her eyes please spare me of the false chivalry it's disgusting she retorted quickly as she thrust her Palm forward and immediately Thunder could be heard aruto looked around him quickly unable to spot any lightning though as the magic became noticeable he flipped backward as a bolt of pure white lightning struck down through the ceiling lighting the carpet of flame however it didn't stop there no instantaneously afterward lightning bolts began crashing Through the Windows sending glass shards flying all over the church the benches following the example of the carpet as the entire place was soon filled with a mix of smoke and Flames thinking quickly he leaped up against the wall to get down beside her he clapped his hands together as he channeled his power of Destruction before he thrust both of his palms toward the ground it wasn't a largely concentrated burst of power but it was enough to create a brief shock wave that forced her to dash backward and out of the window behind her as he saw that his plan had worked in regard to getting her out into the open he quickly followed her however to avoid some kind of Ambush he used the window on the opposite side of the church and instead used his wings to fly quickly over the roof since R had to be focused on Gathering her purage and taking care of them he figured a lot of smoke and fires wouldn't help her before he could re-enter the fight he was forced to maneuver around a barrage of light hurled at him at well light speed he retracted his wings and spun down between them rearing his fist back as a red glow started to form around it sori narrowed her eyes as she raised her hand to form a defensive magic circle to meet the impact of the incoming reded and was forced to widen her eyes in Surprise when his fist effortlessly shattered the defensive spell like it was a mere glass pain she forced herself to hold back a chuckle as she flipped backward and slammed a fist into the ground as dark clouds started to gather above them Nudo did a quick Grimace as he figured out what she was intending and quickly thrust his hand toward the incoming lightning bolts letting a stream of red destructive power almost looking like Crimson Flames seemingly devour them their plan had worked as intended the Fallen Angel dashed forward and spun around on her feet letting her heel swipe straight toward his chin the reeded saw it coming and ducked quickly beneath it using what he determined to be an opening to send a roundhouse kick toward her stomach which she seemed to effortlessly catch in the palm of her hand keeping a tight grip on the sole of his foot as he commented I'm surprised I haven't met many that are skilled at hand-to-hand combat likewise she shot back quickly and pushed his foot up into the air and let go before she dropped down to swipe her leg at his lone foot that was still located on the ground nuto let out a swift grunt as he jumped into the air and spun around to evade the attack they'd sent him crashing down on his rear and responded quickly by placing his palm against the ground and angled his body to swipe a kick to the top of her head The Raven hered Fallen Angel leaned back as she watched his foot fly by right in front of her eyes annoyed with how persistent he was she blitzed forward and launched a series of kicks and punches at him aiming for every anatomic weak spot she could potentially strike with her full strength but it wasn't working no matter how they were moving around his hands and legs were matching her speed perfectly it was frustrating yet exhilarating in at the same time with the exception of her father and a handful of others in the gregori it was rare that she found an opponent that was as adaptable as her in the Marshall Arts though it was easy to see that her fighting style was much more refined than his even though he could keep up with her the two let out a shout as The Souls of their feet clashed once again the force of the impact sending them sliding in each their Direction respectively before they regained their footing nuto decided at that point he'd been on the defensive for long enough and swirled his palms around in front of him letting his wrists touch as a red magic circle appeared from which a giant seemingly flaming serpent flew out toward the Dark Eyed Woman she narrowed her eyes and evaded it by flipping sideways over it forming three quickl Spears that she shot straight through the snake's midsection watching it explode into a small shock wave that sent her hair swaying around in the hair behind her Tori grunted as she thrust her hand to the side of a small magic circle from which she quickly pulled out a sword a Japanese jaudo to be specific this game has gone on long enough she called out as she channeled her magic through the blade letting The Shining ble get coated in Pure White crackling lightning Naruto couldn't help but feel a sense of deja vu at the sight but quickly shook his head and mirrored her action one thing he' picked up from his memories of his sori along with the training he'd undergone in the Underworld was to never underestimate the art of swordsmanship this world had many blades with all kinds of different yet terrifying Powers so it was more than beneficial to be able to wield one in case you were either forced to fight with a blade or you found yourself in the possession of one aidid sighed as he grabbed onto the H of a sword that his older brother had gifted him a couple of years ago and dragged it out of its magic circle revealing a crimson broadword with a Rapier styled Hilt then let's get a move on I was getting bored he retorted as he let the power of Destruction coat is already Crimson blade making it appear like it was a flame in contrast to her lightning covered chudo the woman rolled her eyes as she dashed forward slashing the crackling blade at his neck that he quickly blocked a mix of sparkles encased in Crimson flames and white lightning Flew Over the field and through the trees with each lightning fast Clash from afar their blades would merely look like a pair of twin windmills glowing colorfully that had occasionally slamed together sending shock waves all over the area as the speed got more and more picked up between them despite feeling confident in his swordsmanship Naruto had to admit that she was way better or just more experienced with the blade each deadly stab and slash would put a more and more on the defensive the occasional opening would allow him to get a bit more aggressive and push her a couple of steps back but she'd returned the gesture tenfold afterward he was starting to VIs ible sweat as they flew through the woods watching the tree lines blur past their field of vision as they avoided branches and boulders in their way eventually the reeded couldn't keep up anymore and felt his blade swiped out of his hand as he landed on the grass with Siri a few feet away from him he could hear his blade swirling down through the air before it embedded itself within a boulder I guess I still got a bit to learn he commented as he snapped his finger letting the magic circle retract the blade away from the human realm Zori eyed the action and held up her Blade the metal doing a small clink as she pointed the tip of her blade at him does that mean you are ready to admit defeat I would rather not have to spill your blood if I don't have to I have no desire for hostility between our factions theid drubbed the back of his neck as he slammed his foot into the ground using the cloud of dirt and debris to back flip up on top of the boulder his blade had previously been embedded into sorry I can't do that I made a promise to Ria and I'm not going to break it I don't go back on my word call it a personal code if you wish he chuckled as he reared his palm back into the air whilst in a Crouch down position and thus decided that he might as well take the fight a step further since he'd found himself enjoying the fight a bit more than he should he hadn't gone all out also because he didn't want to start a new war despite having found himself with a whole new power in this world nuto had done everything in his power to recreate his very own invention a thing that had come in clutch several times in the elemental Nations when he'd gotten a good Mastery of the power of Destruction he'd worked his hardest at combining that with the concept of the RAS and shuriken which resulted Ed in the enormous spinning Crimson shuriken in his hand at this moment the concept of cutting with a wind was replaced with a red and black blades borne out of the concept of Destruction itself though before he could do anything with his creation his heart stopped in his chest as The Cloud of debris cleared between them he was met with a sight that had haunted his dream for several years but his field of vision now clear a pair of eyes as equally shocked and terrified as his own were staring right back at him or rather the spiraling shuriken in his right behind his back and at the same time his eyes were staring at the huge bow Compass of crackling lightning and the tip of the deadly arrow that was aimed toward the small spot right between his eyes a flash of pain shot through his head again as he fell down to one knee and grasped his forehead the Rasen shuriken faded out of his existence as he couldn't stop the images flickering in front of his eyes the view in front of him kept switching between one of the last things he saw before he died the very last battle he Frau in his old life as yamaki Naruto Siri didn't seem to be any better the moment she laid eyes upon his attack she had taken a step back and lost control of the lightning in her grasp making it explode across the ground beside her as she dropped down to a crouching position her eyes practically shook as she stared him dead in the eye no that's impossible Naruto grunted out as he clenched his eyes shut to stop his blurry vision from spinning around so much that it couldn't seem to focus on the woman in front of him she like him stopped and covered her mouth with her hand as her large onyx eyes roamed across his being but instead of seeing him she saw the faint outline of a familiar blonde Man Behind him is that really you she thought to herself too unsure of the idea and hurt to speak out loud as if on Q they lifted their heads for one last eye contact before their worlds went dark and their bodies lumped down to meet the soft grassp beneath their feet their heads were just inches away from each other so that the last thing there was each other's faces the young gry arys let out a worried sigh as she sat sideways on the couch within the occult research Club specified clu room in front of her she looked down or more specifically on her lap where the head of her younger brother was currently resting she stared down at his closed eyelids as she tried to remain calm while LLY combing his hair with her fingers occasionally he grunted or Twitch in his sleep as if he was having a nightmare that she couldn't wake him up from even if she tried no matter what she could stare with her blue green eyes whilst making sure her beloved brother at least was comfortable until he came back from whatever was Haunting him their mind was filled with questions at the same time she couldn't piece together what had happened to him as soon as she and the keno had made sure the purage was all right and not on the verge of death she'd rushed after him and much to her surprise she had found nuto passed out in a field of grass with sweat pouring down his forehead at the same time the Fallen Angels had returned not to fight but merely to retrieve one of their own himim meori her Queen a Keno's younger sister had also passed out and she couldn't help but wonder how she and nuto had come to that state or what had happened to them Ras knew her brother was strong way stronger than she was while she'd had other priorities whil still somewhat trying to remain at a decent enough level of strength nuto had prioritized training she'd often teased him or nursed his wounds or both whenever he came back from training which was a thing she deeply admired about him he was a hard worker in many ways she thought she could wish that someday she could be like him even when he told her that she easily could it had felt like a distant and impossible task one which would only shatter the remains of her self-esteem even if that had never be his true intention with a suggestion of her training to become like him Bri is a voice called from her left making the Crimson hair girl turn her head to meet the tired Violet Hues of her Queen She cleared her throat and forced a small smile onto her face you can go home aeno I'll wait here for a little while longer I'd rather not move him anymore until he has woken up the dark-haired girl switched her gaze between her King and her younger brother letting out a soft sigh as she reached down to touch his forehead almost cursing out in surprise at how feverish his skin felt do you think he is going to be okay he doesn't have a choice if he isn't I'll kick his ass she huffed but aeno couldn't be fooled by the front Ria's put up she could easily tell that the girl was much more worried than she'd openly admit she shook her head I wonder what their connection is even when they first saw each other it was like it wasn't the first time I've never heard him talk about her though Bri blinked in surprise at the suggestion of the two being connected but in the end just Shrugged maybe they knew each other maybe not we can only play guessing games until this idiot decides his nap time is over I know he isn't poisoned and he isn't injured I just can't fathom why he is still asleep like this he looks miserable and peaceful at this same time but a careful eye roaming down nuto aeno let out a quick breath if anything happens let me know I can even stay here with you if you want I can bring a spare change of clothes and spend the night the Gary shook her head no go home aeno I'll take care of him no matter how stupid he can be it's my responsibility used to say the same once oh well have a good night R aeno bid fwell giving the king of their purage a quick nod before she left through the double doors the hinges creaked audibly throughout the room until the loud thump signaled that that the doors were closed again for about half a minute she sat there completely still she just looked at him and wiped his sweaty forehead with a piece of cloth before she pushed him up against the cushions with her cheeks turning a faint pink she scooted down the cushions of the couch to lay down by his side the lack of space that it fit two people forced her to wrap her leg around his and pull her arm over his torso as she rested her head on his shoulder not that she'd complain as she felt the heat of his body warm her up she placed the palm of her hand against his cheek and dragged her nails caressingly down before they landed on top of the left part of his chest feeling the heartbeat in his chest she closed her eyes letting the Comfort lull her into a gentle sleep nut's eyes slowly fluttered open his blurry gaze repeatedly trying to focus despite how the entirety of his body felt weak and heavy he couldn't lift a leg even if he tried to so all that was left was for his eyes to stare up at the dark sky above him he slowly tilted his head down to the side grunting in pain as his blue eyes settled on the form laying beside him his blurry gaze would look down to the place their arms were meant to be but all that could be seen were an outline of blood dripping down the Rocks a sense of worry spread through him as he watched her closed eyes his eyes drawn to her chest until he saw it slowly rising and falling he breathed out a sigh of relief before turning his head back to look up at the sky she's still alive thank Kami he sighed as the relief spread through making him relax just a tad bit through all the pain in his body he lay there for quite a while if here to guess 10 minutes went by before she showed any sign of Life aside from her steady and soft breathing arudo smiled a bit at that but didn't turn his head to look at her you've finally come too a seori at the sound of his voice he could see her hurriedly turning her head from the corner of her eye before she winced out in pain a look of shock and horor spread on her pretty face as she realized the damage their last attacks had done to each other he let out a chuckle as you can see if either of us moves too much we'll bleed out and die he stated in an awfully calm tone as he just stared at the Moon why she started in all but a soft whisper her lone open nice staring at the sight of his face why would you go that far you you never attempted to cut me off not even once why do you keep involving yourself with me she finished in another soft whisper the tone of her voice starting to betray her Nudo smiled again as he turned his head to watch her with a grunt his blue eye locked with her Onyx one their faces just a tiny bit apart because you're my friend though that sentence had felt like a lie for a long time a sense of deja vu washed over her as her eye widened at that but what exactly does that mean to you anyway he turned his head back to look away from her letting himself feel the deepest parts of his mind before speaking freely since this might as well be his last chance to let her know what he really meant it's just that when I see you take on stuff and you get all messed up it kind of hurts me too sori let out a soft gasp at the Proclaim her remaining hand twitching idly at her side as she felt a hard clench in her chest and something prickling at the corner of her eyes the number of thoughts running through her head making her feel dizzy in an instant everything they'd been through and all he'd ever said and done to get her to come back back to where she belonged come back to him it made the pain in her chest feel so much worse as each similarity the two had grown up Came Crashing Down over her like an avalanche their memories her own and his playing before her eyes as if the connection their bond allowed her to see everything there ever had been it hurt but it wasn't before the last one that she openly felt the tears begin to drip down her cheeks the moment she saw herself in the group with everyone else the realization of all the time she'd felt alone with no one to understand her she had never really been alone they had all been right there but she hadn't been able to see it she felt that it became harder to breathe as she saw the mental image everyone and she was right there standing by his side like she'd never left because he'd never cut her off not even tried to as they came to again nuto was the first one to open his eyes his eyes flickered around as he saw the blue sky above them and heard the gentle sound of birds in the distance don't tell me this is really Heaven this time he chuckled faintly s let out a faint giggle as she looked back at him looks like we passed out and slept until morning we failed to die again she laughed gently the blonde tried to sit up but the pain in his body immediately forced him to laid back down damn guess it's too soon to move he sighed and just when I thought I could punch you to wake you up he grunted out in disappointment their eyes widened a bit before she burst out into a fit of Giggles despite the pain in her chest she couldn't help it what so funny he asked next SII turned her head to watch him again you really want to keep fighting he growled out in annoyance of course I'll fight you as many times as it takes I accepted H I lost arudo blinked slowly before a tick mark formed on his forehead you idiot this has nothing to do with winning or losing my friend was sulking as usual and I just wanted to punch her to wake her up she gave him a soft smile before she closed her eyes and turned her head back hey Naruto I accept you if I die here the chain of War will end the battle since the sage of Six Paths this is another type of Revolution I'll decide this issue myself once and for all the blonde gave her an outraged look as he Frau with all the strength he could find in his body to move a little closer the blood still dripping from the place his arm used to be until his face was just beside hers how can you decide anything by dying you might as well live and help me instead if you're just going to do that he paused quickly before he started again what I want to do is cooperate with all of the Shinobi and that includes you of course who says everyone else will agree to that she whispered softly aruto let out a snort oh come on do it again let out some more crap like that there is no telling when I may stand up to defy you again in the future Siri continued as she eyed her eyes to stare at him surprised at how close his face was their noses just inches from touching he shook his head you won't do this kind of thing anymore was his reply filled with confidence how can you be sure of that she asked next her lower lip slightly trembling at this Naro decided that enough was enough he could keep giving her half the truth or he could say what he meant all along what that had been the actual feeling in his heart throughout all this time they'd been chazzing each other it's quite simple for something that's felt so complicated for such a long time he chuckled and gave her a small smile I love you seori and I would have chazzed you in the next life too if that's what it'll take for you to finally open your eyes the look of surprise on her face spread like a wildfire as her cheeks began to heat up to turn a considerable red despite the bloodless she'd undergone she fumbled a bit with her words until she felt the clenching in her chest slowly begin to unravel and a surge of Happiness began to fill her up instead shut up you loser I I love you too and thank you for everything she expected some kind of reply from him but when she looked toward his eyes she noticed they were closed again Naruto that's not funny with a loud grunt she rolled onto her stomach panting heavily as she raised her shaky hand to feel his face it felt cold and sticky but as she moved her fingers down to push them against his throat her eyes slowly widened at the lack of a pulse tears began to drip down her face again as her cheeks slumped down again against his arm no words were able to leave her mouth not that anyone could hear them he was dead the youngest gr sat up with a loud gasp as his eyes hurridly flickered around the room to figure out where he was his chest Rose and fell as he held a hand over his heart feeling the rapid heartbeat inside his chest as he tried his hardest to catch his breath those last memories I've never dreamt of them before but how I was dead wasn't I he thought to himself the Panic spreading throughout his being until he felt a pair of warm arms wrap around his torso and and something soft and Squishy pressed against his stomach you're finally awake I was worried he heard someone say and he slowly lowered his gaze to see the Sleepy face of Ria laying up against his side slowly sitting up but not unwrapping her arm from the grasp she had on him Nudo scratched the back of his head I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you worry about me I guess I'm an idiot telling you I'll handle things and then you had to take care of me briya shook her head and flicked his nose nonsense wek siblings we take care of each other gutted the younger reeded had to nod and defeat allowing R to give him a relaxed yet Victorious Smile as she gave him a quick and tight squeez did you have a nightmare you were restless I almost thought you were poisoned or sick kind of Naruto admitted as he scratched the back of his head I can't remember it too much though you know how it is with dreams the red-haired girl shook her head and sat up straight though she leaned in against his side so she wouldn't fall off the couch you always were a lousy liar so why don't you just get to the point and tell your big sis what is wrong heart of him felt a bit unsure of what to do next but he decided he might as well give her at least some of the truth even if it wasn't the complete one it was somewhat a nightmare and I died I guess felt very real did it have something to do with the girl from today Rya asked next reaching up to slightly play around with his hair just Tiding it up a bit he raised a brow at her but didn't comment on it she'd always been very touchy with him she liked to just sit around and mess with his hair and since she found it so humoring he never decided to comment on it or ask her why she was doing it no it was someone else it was just weird there had been a battle but it wasn't really part of the dream it was just like the last moments you know that time where your life flashes before your eyes she gave him a quick nod and a smile as she leaned up to place a small Peck against his forehead I know what you think of but you're safe and alive so don't worry about things like that Nudo chuckled and returned the nod all right so what happened with that girl the blonde one I think Bri has let out a tired sigh in short the fallen angels that came wanted to Steal Her Sacred gear Twi healing and they succeeded so she unfortunately died my new pawn essay is quite down in the dumps about it because they' become good friends the Fallen C rer is the one that got it now couldn't you just have revived her with the evil pieces Naruto asked curiously she nodded her head with a small shrug following I could have but it didn't seem right she was a holy sister and all that and while I'd love to save everyone I only have so many pieces I can't save everyone that gets caught in the crossfire between rebellious faction groups the rud of let out a soft hum I think you should still do it she is a Healer and she is probably kind if she didn't care if a say was a devil I don't know him but he seemed to care for her the brief few seconds I saw him in the church it it also make him happy do you really think so isn't it a gamble it's not that I don't want to I'm just a bit unsure like what would you were cuch as do it he let out a few Chuckles and tapped his index and middle finger against her forehead you don't always have to compare yourself to us you're your own person Rus and life is all about taking Chan sometimes they work sometimes they don't what matters is what you decide to do with them afterward even if she doesn't get the gear back she can still become strong and a precious person to your purage you make it all sound so simple but you don't even have a purage yet she teased idly and rubbed her forehead Nudo Shrugged with a sheepish smile drias before it's too late I got a good feeling in my gut about it I don't want to force you to do anything of course but I got a feeling that it's going to work out great she shook her head a bit at his antics and slowly crept down from the couch and stood up to her feet doing a small stretch that put her chest a bit more on display fine I'll take your advice thank you it's nice to have someone to ask advice from once in a while B he caught himself staring a bit too much at the slight jiggle he quickly turned his head away and inwardly cursed his former Godfather for the occasional thoughts he got in situations like these don't you have a Keno for that Naruto asked next briz gave an immediate nod of her head of course she is my queen and second in command it's just a matter of pers perspective and with things like this well I without a doubt appreciate her help it just helps a bit that another one with evil pieces can give me their thoughts as well the look of understanding crept onto his face as he swung his legs over the couch and stood up himself that makes sense oh well I'll go out and take a bit of air while you do all of that I guess I need to clear my head a bit after that weird dream before he could wander off she reached forward and grasped onto his wrist come to my place after please um why is something wrong Naruto questioned with a raised eyebrow briia Shu on the corner of her lip as if she was looking for the right words to use let's just say I'm still worried and I don't want to leave you out of my sight because then you might find yourself in trouble again uhuh and you sure it isn't just you wanting to sleep together in the same bed like when we were kids he teased her with a small smirk the pout formed on her lips as she elbowed him in the side fine go find a bench to sleep on then I'll be there don'tk worry now go on and tell her I said hi or don't she doesn't know who I am he realized with a dead pan expression Bri rolled her eyes a bit but smiled nonetheless I let her know while I inform her of what happened I'll have to take her to see aay after it'll help both her and him through this experience so it might take a bit before I'm home you sure you can stay entertained for that long nuto let out a small snort as he crossed his arms over his chest oh I'm sure I'll be fine if you say so I'll be there in a little bit have fun she smirked and started to leave through another door in the school building as he stood there alone he let out his tired sigh he didn't enjoy lying to Ria about his nightmares her memories but he was afraid of what she'd come to think of him for all he know he stole the place of who was supposed to be her actual little brother so he didn't know whether or not he was some kind of impostor regardless he couldn't dwell on it he'd done that enough no matter what he thought or said wouldn't change the fact that he was her little brother now and he quite enjoyed that having an older sister like her was amazing even if he caught himself staring at her more often than he should that had to be jer's fault right he shook his head to clear himself of those thoughts as he made his way out of the occult research Club folding out his wings as he leaped into the air and started gliding through the air and over the city just tapping his chin as he tried to figure out where he should go in all honesty there was only one place he really wanted to go to and that was the Gregor's base he wanted to kick down the doors and stare sori in the face and make sure it was really her part of him was still unsure it felt too good to be true if she was here as well then all those times he missed could finally be over he could be reunited with her once again one of the things he wanted most in the entire world nuto let out a small sigh as he landed on a nearby water tower on the outskirts of the Town holding out his palm as he summoned the queen piece of his evil pieces set he'd often wondered what she should do in regard to his purage because where he came from he was just a jenin he had of course wanted to become Hokage and be the leader of their home and everything but now that he actually stood with the position of the king for a page he wasn't sure what to do even after giving Ria advice about taking chances he was being hypocritical having doubted every idea he gotten since he got the set of evil pieces though there was one thing he wouldn't ever doubt and that was who this piece truly belonged to letting the White Queen piece fade away from the palm of his hand nuto sat down on the edge of the water tower one foot dangling over the ledge and the other placed firmly on the top to support his arm as he rested his cheek against the palm of his hand if it really was her then she'd probably be here sooner or later with how they departed from the elemental Nations there were so many things things left unsaid so many things they hadn't been able to do her onx eyes opened as she stared out over the Nephilim Institute one of the many bases of the gregori after he fight in the human world against some of the Devils she'd passed out after seeing someone she thought had died a long time ago in fact she'd seen him die felt him die at her sight as a consequence of her own actions the thing that had haunted her for her entire existence afterward even once she'd been Reborn the mental image had haunted her in her sleep sometimes Her Imagination would get the better of her making the image that much more gruesome and terrifying to think about the think that he was alive that he was here and in the same place as her was a thing that made her feel a thing she hadn't in a long time hope in the time she had spent as a fallen angel she tried to write her wrongs as much as she could but it never felt enough at this point after seeing his face she knew there was only one thing left in this world that could make her feel at peace with herself again is forgiveness in the midst of her train of thought a knock sounded on her door making her turn around with a small blink of her eyes come in she called out standing near the window in her room as she watched The Door Creek open revealing the large form of her father Ariel gave her a quick nod as a greeting as he scratched his beard with a thoughtful look on his face pardon the intrusion I know you said you wanted a bit of a lone time I however wanted to hear how you were doing after the mission in kuo the faint outline of a smile lifted her lips as she returned the nod I'm fine father thank you I see it was just unusual to hear the report from rerk little group he continued trying not to voice too obvious disappointment in regard to the Fallen Angels his daughter had been sent to apprehend Siri sighed slightly I assure you that I'm fine however there was something I wanted to ask you but a quick raise of how brow bariel just nodded ask away she crossed her arms under her chest as she leaned in against the wall her eyes gazing out over the Institute what can you tell me about those Devils the gry house and had it been any other house of the 72 pillars it might have been an issue the Gory isn't a specifically High ranked house with the exception of as Lucifer since he is one of the current satans the Bale married into the house long ago so the three children of the current head of the house all seem to possess their inherent ability bariel started rubbing his bear as he tried to sort through all the information he had available Tori hummed at that I see what about the children barakah leted out a grunt as he took his seat near the wall the oldest is cices and the next one in line to the house of gy would be his little sister Rus and then there is the youngest of the bunch Naruto gry At The Mention of the last name she felt a small clench in her chest as she grasped the fabric of her shirt what can you tell me about nuto it still felt weird to say his name but at the same time it felt good is there reason for the sudden interest barula asked she shook her head quickly with a small shrug even if it was a lie no not aside from that he is the one I supposedly fra against both still remaining a bit skeptical bariel decided to believe her for now well he is a promising young man we don't know much about him since he isn't as public as the rest r resides in kuo and cices is the current Lucifer so it's easier to hear information about them Naruto however has seemed to remain in the Underworld most of the time can you tell me what we do know at least she tried again fidgeting a bit with the sleeve of her shirt still unable to decipher why his daughter was like this bariel continued nonetheless as I said he is a promising young individual reports state that in regard to combat prow he is very talented current rumors spreading around the underworld call him the second coming of CES s eyes widened a tad bit in surprise but at the same time she gave a small smile no matter where he was he always strived to work hard and that made her happy at least that meant he was most likely still the same knucklehead she remembered I see what's going to happen with rer and the others they did manage to steal a sacred gear even that the sacred gear didn't belong to a devil the major problem lies within that it all happened within Grim's territory despite the obvious warning from the arys herself a Isel is still pondering on what decision to make though there is a chance that it'll be handed back he pondered she gave him a confused look removing a sacred gear is like a death sentence and there is no guarantee that the sister is alive unless she was reincarnated through one of the evil pieces regardless should this become an issue with the Devils the first and most obvious way to fix the problem would be to hand back what was stolen bariel sighed not being a big fan of it himself but it was a suggestion from one of the other Fallen inch charge aside from him Siri fidgeted a bit in place as she turned her gaze back to her father what if there could be struck a devil with a grer the look of amusement lifted his face what would that involve unsure the sacred gear is returned they most likely have someone in either of their purage that would benefit from a sacred gear should the sister still be deceased if they're open to the idea we could introduce the suggestion of them reincarnating Rainer she herself would benefit from being in a place where her Prejudice for Devils wouldn't be tolerated and her lack of strength wouldn't be tolerated as much as it does here Siri pondered out loud Baro let out a grunt at that as a small smile lifted his lips well it's an Innovative idea we can't count on it no one says they want rer as a reincarnated devil as we all know she isn't the strongest she herself admitted that as part of the reason she wanted Twilight healing in the first place along with that she did damage to Ria's gory's purage and also mock them for their race I'm not sure that she would take that offer that well sori nodded in agreement which is why I'd suggest we send the invitation to her brother R gets the gear and we let Naruto gy get the offer in regard to reincarnating her that way she avoids the death sentence gets to work on her Prejudice and will get stronger everybody wins except Rainer bariel commented better than being dead Siri countered the large man sighed and stood up from his seat I'll take it up with Azazel though we'll need a messenger and at the moment we do not know where nuto gry is RZ is as usual within kuo but the younger brother hasn't been seen since the church incident a couple of days ago sori responded quickly as she readjusted her black locks allow me to be the messenger I'll track him down you seem quite interested in this boy it makes me wonder why bariel voiced out loud she Shrugged he is an interesting character he just gave a nod at that figuring that it was about everything his daughter would allow him to know if that's all I'll go have a talk with Azazel I'm glad to see you had a swift recovery daughter your condition had me worried she raised a curious brow I was just passed out hardly anything to fuss about though there was one other thing a bit of a side question I suppose well ask away what's on your mind braul asked Siri looked a bit uncertain at first as she eyed her father chewing on the inside of her cheek before she let her thoughts be known if I were to hypthetically leave the gregori one day what would happen bariel looked shocked at the question as he stood up what brought this on all of a sudden nothing I just never saw myself living here my whole life well I know that as a fall in my lifespan is considerably longer than a human's I didn't think I'd be here to the end of time she said with a small shrug her father looked beyond skeptical does this have something to do with the gri boy that you're all of a sudden so interested in do you know him starting to get a bit annoyed she shot him a mild glare no and even if I did it wouldn't be your business just answer the question father what would happen should I decide one day to go out on my own bariel sighed and rubbed his forehead since you don't know any faction secrets that could potentially harm us nothing would happen though you'd be on your own and without the protection of the gregori and if you one day were to cross us without it being intended you would label yourself an enemy in the eyes of the faction I would be able to protect you I can take care of myself she grunted and crossed her arms again I just don't understand you Siri ran a hand through her black locks it is what it is father one day I'm not going to be here anymore please don't make it out to be some kind of big deal if I am not going to get in trouble it's only really a problem for you well that verbal blow hurt he couldn't deny that she was right if that's your decision I won't stop you good I'm not going to leave right now but in the future as I've seen myself elsewhere still unable to let the thought go bariel himself crossed his arms over his armor I feel like you at least owe me to know whether or not it has to do with a boy you don't look me in the eye in regard to him so I know you aren't being truthful you're my daughter and I want to protect you I feel like you could at least be honest with me because of that I'm not leaving because of Naruto gry so just stop asking about it see I'm looking you in the eyes right now she finished and gave him a blank stare technically she wasn't lying she didn't leave because of a boy whose name was gry in fact it was a completely different surname it was just a coincidence that they shared the same first name I I'll go talk to Azazel about your idea at least refrain from leaving until that mission has been put down or accepted bariel finished and walked out of his daughter's room closing the door behind him in the process the raven-haired girl let out a loud and tired sigh as she slumped down in her bed turning her head to stare out of the window as she fidgeted with the sleeves of her sweater now all she had to figure out was where he was seems like they had one more game of cat and mouse before things could be settled and for once the roles seemed to have been reversed with her being the one chassing him the young redid let out a slow sigh as he stood on top of the water tower looking over kuo the rain dropping from the sky annoyed him a great deal as he folded out his wings and brought them over his head to Shield himself from the rain pulling the hood of his jacket over his hair he crossed his arms over his chest and settled for just staring out over the city for the time being he hadn't felt like going back to Ria's place yet ever since the incident with the Fallen Angels he'd stuck around in kuo just to be on the safe side plus he'd rather not deal with his father at the moment while his mother was more understanding of him he'd rather not get into another argument when his mind was currently elsewhere at the same time he couldn't stop thinking about Rus it both hurt and angered him that the wedding ceremony was coming closer with each passing day there was close to nothing he wouldn't give to be able to just kick down the doors to the Phoenix Manor and give Riser such an intense beating that they'd been forced to cancel the contract even if he were going to be in serious trouble for it he chuckled sourly at the thought even Rus didn't want that so he was going to have to stay put for now at least despite how much annoyance it was he'd stay put and wait until he could do something the redid let out a grunt as he kicked a small pebble down the water tower and thought about it being time to fly home however the second he folded his wings out from above his head and was prepared to jump down from the ledge his blood ran cold in his veins the presence appeared behind him which made him turn around in a heartbeat with his sword summoned to his hand his blue green eyes stared at the person person who just arrived in front of him stood a tall man with black hair golden bangs and a black goatee though the most eye-catching feature and the thing that was also making him feel almost scared were the 12 jet black feathered wings sprouted from the man's back looking like a never fading black what do you want Naruto asked as he took a step back feeling his heel dangerously close to the edge of the water tower as his eyes stared into the man's vial at once a sound chuckle traveled through the air as he put a hand on his hip am I to assume you know who I am if the number of wings you have I have my guess though I'm starting to feel like this is some kind of joke with how many Fallen Angels seem to be trespassing Around Here Naruto commented and tightened his fingers around the blades handle the man rolled his eyes come on put the pointy thing away and let's talk we both know if this were a fight you'd already be dead you didn't even see me coming before I let you with an uncertain gaze nuto relaxed a bit and let his sword disappear into a magic circle what do you want he asked again in case your guess was wrong my name is as is governor general of the gregori in all honesty it's a pleasure to meet you I hear many great things about you a Isel revealed grinning a bit as he crossed his arms theed nodded his head likewise ain't every day I get to talk to a faction leader I'm not related to he chuckled a bit as Isle mimic the small AF I can imagine so I know my little subordinates have caused some trouble and I'm here to work out a solution they were out of line and that's what that is but I'd rather not have it become a trouble I can't solve without getting involved with ser I assume you got an offer coming or something wouldn't make sense for you to come in person otherwise nuto said with a raised brow the Fallen Angel nodded I most certainly do you see we have something in our possession that doesn't quite belong to us which is apparently the whole objective of what caused this issue he let out a slight snort yeah your crows stole sacred gear from a nun here in our territory and continued to disrespect my sister and her purage almost killed some of them too look I'm a man of my word and I don't particularly like host I prepared to return the gear to the girl if she is somehow still alive either that or I let someone in your purage or your sister's purage take it sound good Azazel said simply wiping some raindrops from the fabric of his maroon colored coat Theo narrowed his eyes a bit I'm not buying it oh why is that AEL wondered the young man Shrugged with a skeptical gaze I'm not overly convinced that you're going to sacrifice one of your own people just to give a girl of the church Her Sacred gear back as Isel side look as cold and cruel as it may sound if this issue had been only about the girl we could have cared less about it this is an issue I'd rather stay between the small groups and not the factions as a whole who knows what could potentially happen from stepping on the toes of not just one of Lucifer's siblings but both rumor do say that he is quite fond of the two of you so what offer is it that you're proposing Naruto tried again seeing a bit of logic in what the man was saying the small grin lifted azazel's lips as he spoke calmly what would you say to have a new member in your peage the Reds lone foot steps echoed through the empty streets of kuo his mind wandered off as he strolled through the night and in the direction of where his sister was currently residing within the town B his mind had been occupied by his sister's arranged marriage and the return of his first love today it was something else entirely the things were all interconnected this time and it was all because of that man someone he couldn't decide whether to like or despise bazel he was an Odd Fellow with an even more odd and twisted kind of humor whether or not it was some kind of Joker game to him he couldn't figure it out regardless he couldn't deny that the man made sense his eyes glimmered as they looked up at the Moon it was a full moon tonight one of those nights when everything seemed brighter than usual he felt as though there were something different about this particular night but he wasn't sure what it could be as he was occupied with his own thoughts he suddenly stopped as someone called out to him from behind nuto blinked a couple of times before he stuck his hands inside his pockets and turned around his blue green eyes eventually settled on the face of a young man with brown hair who was wearing the that same uniform he'd seen at the kuo Academy who he'd come to know as the newest addition of Ria's purage someone he wasn't totally sure whether or not to Lo like yet generally he seemed more than grateful that the nun had been reincarnated even going as far as to drop down to the floor with his forehead against the floor panels well he thank him repeatedly for convincing his sister to take a leap of faith but on the other side he was more than ready to poke his eyes out of his skull the guy was more than perverted and every time he had the audacity to practically worship his sister's bus lines in his presence he had to be stopped by Ria before he'd accidentally evaporate him with his power of Destruction spells I do right Naruto asked as he kept a polite smile on his face the brown-haired boy quickly nodded his head yes sir a Lord I'm not sure what to call you actually the reded had to Blink out of sheer amusement at that Naruto is fine you don't need to call me by any fancy title though well all right then the boy said out of surprise yet still bowed his head slightly with an awkward scratch to the back of his head as an awkward silence filled the streets again Naruto Frau the urge to let out a sigh as he asked so was there anything you wanted to ask me or were you just curious about my title aay quickly waved his hands oh no it was more like how do I say it I wanted to thank you again for everything you did for Asia I know that butu was skeptical of it at first you've already thanked me the other day though and the day before that Naruto mused out loud yeah but I mean you saved her life I don't think thanking you once or twice is enough to make up for it the boy answered with a small laugh nuto let out a slow hum as he Shrugged his shoulders a bit Ria is a smart girl she'd probably done it regardless I just pushed her a bit in that direction that's all there is really no need to thank me despite the look of uncertainty on the student face he decided to not argue any further with a guy that could probably turn him into a pile of Ashes not that he thought he would but regardless there was something else he had wanted to ask there actually was something else oh ask away though I'm on my way home so I'd prefer if it wasn't some favor that it take all day narut responded with a raised brow aay quickly nodded I was wondering about how you became that strong I mean but you seemed to easily pass over the strongest of those fallen angels for you to fight when you volunteered I'd guess that means you're pretty strong the Red's expression went blank as he let out a small sigh at that so that's what this is about he thought to himself before clearing his throat I'm not going to lie to you it takes a lot of hard work yeah I figured that was the case the brunette sweat ropped with a tired expression nuto just gave a slow nod I've been training almost every day since the day my father deemed me ready to start learning about how to use my inherent abilities though it was more my mother that taught me about it I guess that's a bit irrelevant to your question the student scratched the back of his head it's just that I feel like a liability you know I always need someone to come and save me whether it be butu or someone like Kiba and keko it just doesn't feel fair for them to always have to come to my rescue whenever I get myself into trouble that whole Fallen Angel issue Wasa my fault too the grimy air crossed his arms over his chest as he let out a quick sigh listen you can't control the actions of others the issue itself was never your fault to begin with they acted on their own intentions were you too weak to really do anything about it yeah you were I'm not going to be a [ __ ] and lie about it to your face just to make you feel better but the issue itself wasn't on you biss had a defeated look on his face he quickly tried to gather whatever courage he had left and smacked his own face shaking his head he looked back up how do I become strong I know you have answers can you help me wouldn't it make more sense to go to your king and ask for help first I know that you might think I have some answers for you but well I'd love to help it's not really my place nuto asked as he scratched his cheek as say bowed his head down after that I know I should be asking but you but as I said I feel like they've bailed me out enough as it is I want to start paying them back for what they've done for me and I don't want to do that by making them train me it' be like buying presents for your family with their own money it doesn't seem right the look of understanding spread on nut's face before he started chuckling covering his face as he let out a couple of more laughs that both seemed to confuse but also slightly irritate the brunette I guess you have a point that's why I'd like your help when something like this happens again I want to be able to do more than just sit and whine on my ass isay sighed tiredly the grimy cued his chin thoughtfully so let me get this right you're asking me for training if you just want me to pull out a spreadsheet with all the answers then you got the wrong guy I'm of the menet that there are no shortcuts either you do it or you don't is G tobly as he looked nervously at the reded if that's what it's going to take then yes but I got a feeling I'm going to regret it I wouldn't be doing a tried if you didn't regret asking afterward nuto replied with a slight sadistic grin that it most likely make a certain Hima claim him to be a man of culture thank you very much sir I hope not to disappoint you isay responded with another bow of his head briming at the title nuto waved his hand in the air yeah yeah drop the sir WYA come around to my sister's Club tomorrow wek begin there however if I am to do this there is one thing I'll need from you theay lifted his head with Curiosity on his features what is it I don't have much but if it's something I can do then name it the dark and grim look spread across Naruto's face as he got an almost demonic smirk on his face a red and black AA surrounded his being as he looked the frightened brunette right in the eyes if I ever hear you make another perverted comment about especially my sister or anyone else or I hear that you have while I wasn't there in person I'll kill you the new inheritor of the boosted gear took a step back with a gulp I uh I don't know if I can do that you know the comments just fly out of my mouth I swear I only mean it as compliments then you learn to control yourself because I won't accept it call me Petty but that's my one and only offer Naruto said in a tone that meant it was the end of it as he gave a Carefree shrug the Hy who let out a defeated sigh as he slowly nodded his head Okay I accept your terms if it means I'll become stronger then fine I'll do it Theo clapped a few times with a satisfied grin very good then it settled now run along I want to get a good night's rest been way too long since I've been able to sleep properly without some kind of interruption oh of course sorry if I took up too much of your time I'll be on my way now and don't worry I'll be there tomorrow as soon as classes end I promise the boy called out as he began jogging back in the direction he came from throwing his hand up in a wave until he disappeared completely from sight the reeded had to raise a brow at the sight doesn't he have wings he chuckled a bit with a small Shake of his head before folding out his own jumping into the air as he flew toward the place Ria was currently living he'd never stopped being surprised whenever he got into Ria's home compared to a certain citri who had her home here linked with her stronghold R had settled for a classic apartment even while he knew their parents had offered to build her a whole castle if the need should arise perhaps it was because she wanted to seem normal and be able to experience the Japanese culture properly well he knew it was part of the reason but he was unsure if it was the whole reason a loud yawn escaped him as he hung up his jacket inside his room well the guest room he was borrowing at least he pulled off his shirt and threw it inside the washing bin he had in the corner of the room and soon let his pants follow though before he left he grabbed some clean clothes and got ready to take what it deemed a well-deserved shower as he opened his door he peeed out and looked up and down the hallway making sure the coast was clear so he wouldn't give RZ a jump scare with his partial nudity once he'd seen there was no one he skipped out and closed the door behind him when he entered the bathroom he stretched and put down his clothes es scarting his boxers and socks in the corner of the room he flicked on the light and turned on the shower waiting for the steam to start Rising above the shower curtain before he entered and let a pleased sigh Escape his lips as the warm water started raining down over his bare body he placed his palms against the wall as he leaned down his head to let the water run through his red locks closing his eyes as he just let his mind blank out to the point he didn't even hear the door open and close not even the sound of clothes discarded seemed to catch his attention but when the light seemed to brighten inside the shower from the curtain being pulled open he opened his eyes with a confused look on his face until he felt a hand on the upper part of his back he did a small jump and was about to turn his head and elbow whoever had snuck up on him in the face but when he heard the voice of who was there he visibly relaxed again could you move over a few feet you're filling up the entire space Theo raised a brow as he fr the urge to turn around what are you doing in here Ras if you wanted to take a shower first you could have just told me he chuckled sheepishly the Crimson haired Beauty let out a few Giggles is it so strange we used to bathe together yeah when we were kids we're pretty much adults now don't you think it's a bit weird he mouthed with his lips in a thin line Bria shook her head as she kept a small smile on her face no it always brought me a sense of comfort and I didn't really want to be alone tonight I know it's a cliche but my thoughts always seem to get the better of me at night as he heard that Naruto gulped and slowly turned around to face her when his eyes landed on her he couldn't stop himself from looking her up and down seeing everything from her smooth skin to he generously sighed chest in the dim light before he looked back up at her eyes clearing his throat he scratched the back of his head is something wrong the grimy arys gave a small Smile as her cheeks heated a bit up from the wandering glance of her sibling not commenting on it as she bit the inside of her cheek I guess want to tell me what's wrong then he asked next tilting his head down to look into to her eyes again she let out a soft sigh as she gave a slow knot of her head it's just that I don't know what to do I feel like I'm doing something wrong like I'm not fit to be king of my peage or the heis of our house no matter what I do it always feels like I need to depend on you or zetes to do things for me theud raised an outraged brow now what kind of nonsense is that I've been here for a handful of days and you've been more than fine on your own all this time where is all of this coming from is it really nonsense though I feel like I'm some kind of bad luck charm look at the mess that happened here if I had been a better King then perhaps this mess with the Fallen could have been avoided maybe I wouldn't have been married off to Riser I don't know what to do anymore she admitted as she looked back down at her feet splashing a bit of the water around the drain with her toes to keep herself distracted the younger redid shook his head a bit with a small roll of his eyes as he reached forward he CED her cheeks and tilted her head up staring down at her with a serious gaze you're not a bad luck charm do you want me to name all the times it's been the exact opposite everyone your purage is alive and well because of you you've saved them R if anything you're a good luck charm so don't put yourself down like this R gave a soft Smile as she reached up and grabbed his hands on her face feeling her cheeks heat up a bit more as she gave a quick laugh I'm sure the situation would have been handled much smoother if it had been your etches though Nudo had a dead pan expression as she removed one hand from her face to flick his finger against her forehead stupid she let out a small Yelp as she rubbed her face what was that for for being an idiot you're your own person Ria you don't need to compare yourself to anyone not me and not cices you've done an amazing job and I'm very proud of my big sister he spoke out truthfully as he gave her a bright smile no amount of words could begin to describe to look of shock and affection on the red-haired girl's face as she giggled at him I thought I was supposed to be the older sibling yet you seem to be the one that has to comfort me all the time the former blonde rolled his eyes comes from the girl who had to take care of my past out ass keep sprouting nonsense I'll flick your forehead again don't do that fine fine I'll behave just keep what I say in mind you have nothing to prove to me or anyone else I'm sure that everyone in your purage agrees especially your newest addition he even asked me for help to train him so he could please the rest of you don't worry you're doing great Naruto smiled as he leaned his forehead and pressed a small Peck against her forehead a slightly flustered expression crept on T Ria's features as she leaned forward with her arms stretched out her chest pressed up against his torso as she wrapped him up in a tight hug with her shoulder resting in the crook of his neck thank you Nudo had a look of surprise on his face as he felt his sisters very naked breasts press up against his chest he cleared his throat as he looked down at her um you do know I can feel everything right so she asked and rolled her eyes a bit just clutching him a bit tighter the younger grimy had to sigh at his sister's Antics but wrapped his arms around her nonetheless feeling her soft body wrapped up around him he rested his cheek down against the top of her head well he wouldn't openly admit it because she was his sister it felt good there was no doubt in his mind that RZ was a very beautiful good and had a well a great body and part of him felt like he was only letting himself feel that because he had a former life and she had first become his sister after his death and his reincarnation it was probably just some kind of way to cope with it all and he knew that well Clans in the elemental Nations had practiced less than decent acts with their families to keep Bloodlines pure he did feel a small amount of guilt for enjoying this yet with how happy she seemed he found himself caring less and less by the second and he did enjoy it himself so why should he pretend that he didn't they weren't saying anything so the only person he'd be lying to would be himself and he wasn't a fan of liars to begin with I really don't want to get married to Riser um Naruto hummed as he opened his eyes again Bria shook her head a bit you heard me heun not the one I want to marry he gave a slow nod in response though At The Mention Of someone else she wanted to marry a mix of curiosity but also a tad bit of jealousy coarsed through his veins I did hear you and I know that you don't want to I just don't know why you brought it up that's all I'm not going to let it happen though please believe me I'd rather punch his face in than see you unhappy who do you want to marry though I know but I don't know if there is anything we can do our father seems to insist and a girl has her secrets she sighed followed by a quick diggle as she Drew small circles with her finger on his naked back nuto quickly shook his head and pulled back placing his hands on the girl's shoulders just trust me on this no matter what you aren't getting married to Riser no one should be able to force you to do something like that you should be able to choose yourself thank you really it means a lot to me just knowing that you're on my side is helping she smiled and pulled back herself patting him on the shoulder now turn around we're wasting a lot of water I'll wash your back the taller redid rolled his blue green eyes as he turned around doing a small jump as he felt his sister's hands begin to rub some soap up and down his back it felt a bit cold after his body had been heated up by the water but it was still a pleasant feeling a bit like getting a message look at me getting a massage from a pretty girl he teased as he chuckled Rya shook her head and took some soap and smacked him on the back of his head it's not for free I expect you to return the favor I swear you can be so good for a few minutes and then switched back to being a knucklehead a minute later but a non-caring shrug Naruto looked over his shoulder oh come on you know you love me luckily for you I do she smirked and gave him another smack to the Head your turn I want to get some sleep soon been the long today and I feel like tomorrow is going to be even worse Alo Naruto asked out of curiosity as he turned around and spun his finger in front of Ria to signal for her to turn her back so he could return the favor for her Rya hummed softly I don't know just school and all got to teach a say how to be more productive with his contracts too also need to go to the familiar forest with him in Asia soon seems like so much to do and so little time to do it she said as she turned around her body doing small Jiggles with each small step there baruto poured some soap into his hands as he got ready to watch her back but he placed them on her shoulders his vision started to wander South and his gaze remained there for quite a bit he shook his head after a bit as he started to wash her back rubbing his hands up and down the upper and lower part of her back along her spine and up her sides he could feel his fingertips slightly gracing the side of her chest but tried to pay it no mind as he finished up as he did so he could hear Ria's occasionally let out a pleased sigh such a sweet sound that encouraged him to keep giving some of the more sensitive parts of her a bit of a rub which she leaned into I swear the pervy Sage haunts me from beyond the grave and From Another Universe he sweat dropped and let out a sigh so low that she couldn't hear it from the water though what he couldn't see was a small frown present on Ria's face as less than decent thoughts began to fill her mind their current situation reminded her that there was still one thing she wanted to do or rather that she had to do before it was too late before it was too late and before she'd be married to Riser if things didn't go their way in the end Zori let her dark eyes Wander Over the layout of the Nephilim Institute as she walked down the pretty Barren hallways swung over her shoulder was a small bag filled with what she'd call the essentials she'd potentially need a gentle sigh left her lips as she listened to each of her footsteps sending Echoes bouncing off the walls around her it wasn't her favorite idea to leave like this but at the same she'd rather not face the potentially hurt expression there' be on her father's face after everything she'd been through and done it was the last thing she wanted to do she didn't find any satisfaction in hurting people like that especially now that he'd done everything he could to raise her properly as a father should he'd given her a home and a future within a pretty powerful organization and perhaps as a potential leader within the gregori in her in she just always knew that was more his dream than her own for the last many years the mere concept of having a new plan seemed a bit foolish to her she felt like she'd wasted that chance when she'd been responsible for the death of someone very dear to her and extremely close to her heart so she always felt that it' serve well as a punishment at least until she found that he was alive just like her he'd been shoved into this new reality it gave her a new drive to try and make up for the countless mistakes she'd done and all the pain she had caused him despite how good the gregori had been to her there wasn't really much doubt in her mind about where her place should be where her real place was though as she exited through what she'd call the main entrance to the Institute her eyes widened a tad bit in surprise at the sight of her father sitting at the bottom steps of the stairs leading up to the doors I figured you'd be asleep by this time she called out and walked down toward him slowly Baro lifted his head with a slight smile on his face well I figured I should be awake to see my youngest daughter off say chewed a bit on the inside of her cheek I didn't want you to find out like this he let out a slight grunt I bet you'd prefer that I didn't find out at all it's not that I just didn't want to disappoint you well I probably couldn't avoid that regardless but it have been easier not to witness it she mumbled out and adjusted a few of her dark locks the large man stood up from his seated place and shook his head at her I knew that it' happen eventually so don't worry and I also know it's because of the grimy boy aisel had the same suspicions you don't have to tell me why or how he is connected but I hope that you thought it through at least I have she quickly responded Ariel gave a satisfied nod then that's all I could have asked for I uh I'm going to assume that'll mean you'll be seeing more of your sister very soon zi stopped a bit in her tracks at that mention it was a bit of a touchy subject between them they often tried to avoid the subject of her mother or sister but it seemed black tonight was going to be different she is the queen of Naruto G's sister so yes I'd imagine we're forced to interact more in the near future ah well go easy on her I know that well it hasn't always been easy to get along within this family bariel said with a reluctant sigh the dark-haired girl and nodded her head I wasn't going to torment her however I'm certain she'll be reluctant to interact with me as you said the relationships have been rather strained ever since mother died bariel nodded don't blame her for it it caused her a lot of hardship to go through I don't blame her it wasn't her fault the man gave another satisfied nod that's good to hear I know your tone was different when you were younger Siri let out a quick chuckle I was a kid back then and I know better now than to try and force accusations on her family is as important as it is difficult I'd reckon no healthy family would be Problem free contrary to popular belief but you let me know how she is doing not all the time just once in a while despite our current relationship I'm still her father she nodded of course a breath of relief escaped the large man's lips as he folded his arms behind his back aisel has agreed to let you go from the gregori however we need you to do one more thing first what's that SEI asked curiously bariel grunted you managed to convince AEL your little idea of how things should play out in regard to the issue that happened within kuo he event went ahead and met with a boy despite how we talked about you being the messenger he hasn't given us a response yet but if that's where you're going we'd like to know his answer to the proposal to say that she was surprised would be an understatement but she gave a reluctant nod of her head sure is Rainer up to dat sure I am the dark-haired girl raised a brow as she turned around letting her eyes land on the form of the skimpy clad woman leaning against one of the support beams her arms crossed under her large chest as she stood with a tired expression on her face Siri gave her a blank stare as she mimicked the action of Crossing her arms and you've accepted it the woman let out a sigh not like I have much of a choice and if Azazel thinks it's a good IDE I guess it is what it is is the damn Devil Boy really that special if special means being able to vaporize you in a second then yes Siri replied dry brainer rolled her eyes is it true that he can make me stronger the younger girl Shrugged her shoulders if the purage systems work the way that we think then yes your strengths and attributes would be boosted in tune with how strong he is I guess it isn't too bad then she sighed but refused to look the younger girl in the eyes bariel grunted at the exchange he still has to accept the offer offer first and I expect that you'll behave as a former member of the gregori this is the wish of both Azazel and the rest of us so you better not dirty our name the woman audibly gulped with a slow nod I'll do my best sir good bariel responded before turning his attention back to his daughter well I know Youk be part of a different faction I hope and expect that you'll keep her in line she doesn't respect the grory air yet but she respects you sori nodded without having to think twice about it I'll keep her in line she knows what happens if she decides to play play games around me she replied and shot a glance back at Rainer who looked visibly shaken at the comment you don't need to talk like I'm not here I get it all right I [ __ ] up big deal but I'm going to make up for it at least I'm not going to be dead if I agreed to this reain or ground out it was clear that the woman was upset but since she was determined to be of use to the gregori it appeared as she'd at least accepted her fate what they could only hope was that she'd learned to be determined to be of use to someone else bariel scratched his beard thoughtfully I wish you luck daughter I guess this is where we say goodbye for now don't look that Sumer we'll see each other again soon enough Siri smirked as she reached over to give her father a quick hug which the man accepted as they parted Siri decided to send one last look in the direction of rer I had thought you'd be much more verbal about this Arrangement oh she was but one small glare from Azazel and she found her place again bariel cut in the woman Shrugged as much as I despise Devils if it's what it takes I'll do it zi gave her a small glare I'm quite unsure of why and how you came to the conclusion that Devils were to be despised there are people just like us they just have different genes and living standards in reality we're all quite similar the key difference was just that you fell from heaven brainer seemed to be a bit shocked but voiced no further opinion before she retreated back inside the Institute leaving the father and daughter Duo behind seems like you might have hit the nail on the head I bet she didn't expect that Baro mused the girl chuckled if she first figured that out now I fear nuto has a lot of headache in the future which I bet you'll help him with whatever the relationship is between you two I do wish you luck daughter be safe out there and remember you'll always have a place here well unless you decide to make an enemy of the gregori but I know you better than that bariel finished a small humor filled grin on his rough features SII rolled her eyes as she folded out her six wings I'll see you around father don'tk get too bored without me she finished before ascending to the heavens flying over the Institute leaving behind the gregori for the time being though stood there a slight look of determination crept onto his features as he flew off himself there was a person he had to meet to be on the safe side the meeting set up by Azazel himself just to ease the worries of a father arudo sat on Boulder by a river in the northern forests of kuo as he rested his chin in the palm of his hand he idly tapped his jaw as he mentally counted the seconds passing by in his head though was a change in the wind occurred behind him he took a quick breath you know with the number of Fallen Angels I'm meeting these days I'm not sure whether or not to count my myself lucky or unlucky he chuckled as he stood up as he turned around he came face to face with a man that looked very different from what he'd imagined like seriously this enormous person he couldn't begin to Fathom how he could be the father of not just a Keno but someone else as well but he came face to face with was a man that had the appearance of a middle-aged Gruff looking fallen angel with black hair a matching beard and a large body the expression on his face was blank yet seemingly his eyes were trying to stare directly into his soul what is that supposed to mean nuto quickly waved his hands in front of him in a defensive manner oh uh nothing really it's just that I've met more fallen angels in the last two weeks than I have in my entire life combined that's all I see the man replied his features slightly easing theed scratched the back of his head so I heard that uh as Isel said you wanted to meet me for some reason I'm not really sure why but I assume it has something to do with that offer he proposed the man gave a slight nod partially my name is bariel as you may or may not know already my daughters are aenima and seor huima you've met both before Nudo nodded in return yeah that's right I wanted to see what kind of person you were with my own eyes rer is depending on your answer going to end up in your care and for reasons my daughter has decided not to share with me she has left the gregori we all know it's because of you but none of us can place a reason as to why though since it's my daughter's wish I'll not pry but as a father I still wanted to take a look at the man who seemingly was the influence behind her choice barul revealed the grimy Heir took a step back she left the gregori damn I didn't expect that I can't really say why to be honest Everything feels a bit like a blur these days had I known that so much would happen here I might have stayed back in the Underworld he half joked which seemed to bring a rough chuckle out of the man I can imagine it's not easy being an heir you seem like a decent enough young man so should my daughter decide to join you I'll not stop her not that I would have regardless I don't want to control her the just nodded his head in understanding don't worry you're her dad it's completely normal to be worried and cautious it's all pretty weird around here I bet my old man would also be rubbing his head out of confusion if I said I wanted to do something like that I'm glad to hear that you understand may I ask whether or not you thought more about the offer proposed by our governor general baril asked next the reded shook his head not really no there is a lot going on at the moment I got a lot on my mind but I promise I'll have an answer soon enough it's just a hard pill to swallow I feel like I'm the one determining whether or not someone has to Die the 10- wied man shook his head not really if you were to accept the offer it' be more like a sign of Goodwill were you to refuse she wouldn't be executed however you wouldn't get the holy sisters sacred gear back and the issue would leave behind potential yet minor strain between the factions it's at least good to hear everyone wants to find a peaceful solution Naruto chuckled with a deadpan expression bariel nodded aizel and the gregori have no interest in war quite on the contrary well this issue alone wouldn't start a new war we'd rather prevent anything that could begin the escalations that had lead to Bloodshed arudo hummed as he fidgeted with the sleeve of his jacket yeah he said as much so uh what's the woman like I won't lie to you Rainer will be a handful to deal with she has a natural distaste for Devils but if my daughter will end up near you as we think she will I have no doubt she'll help you keep Rainer in check bariel explained but the thoughtful expression Naruto chuckled I guess that means she is respected I half expected as much she is my daughter but even if she wasn't she made it that way if anyone tried to mess with her even during her younger days she quickly put a stop to it through her own efforts and willpower nuto couldn't help but smile at that it sounded exactly like the seor that he used to know and it gave him a familiar sense of Happiness spreading throughout his body if she really was like the girl he remembered and loved then perhaps there was hope and if she'd really left the gregori because of him he didn't want to get his hopes too much up but the wave of excitement and impatience flooding him were too noticeable to plainly ignore I won't take up any more of your time I simply wish to have a word with you before my daughter arrived here baru revealed arudo blinked at that she is already on her way here barel Shrugged not here specifically but she is looking for you unless she hurries I'd imagine it' be around half an hour before she is within the town I do hope that if she decides to join you you'll treat her with respect I know the rumor about the pages of the grimy that you treat each other like family I hope that is true true but a determined look Narito nodded you don't have to worry at all if she should decide that then I'll treat her well just like you guys I don't want to start any hostility in all honesty I just want us all to get along a small smile lifted baral's lips as he prepared to leave I'm glad to hear that I bid you luck my daughter can be a bit of a handful I think you'll manage though you don't have to tell me I chazzed her around for years he internally sweat dropped as he watched the large man fly off into the distance well that wasn't strange at all he mouthed out with a breath of relief as he slumped back down against the boulder the worry left his body as he leaned back to stare up at the star-filled sky above him many questions filled his mind again but he couldn't help but smile he wanted to talk to her again for so long even if it was just for a mere moment and now she was on her way here well he was worried he was also ecstatic the only thing stopping him from sprinting out into the town of kuo to meet him was the amount of worry he had there was no telling what riar akeno's reactions were going to be especially the latter had a very strange relationship and view of her family and he'd rather not be a problem for them or cause any complications because of actions that he'd taken but no matter how much he thought about it he knew that the only way to experience what the future had in store was to face it bria's footsteps crunched into the gravel beneath her feet as she rubbed the bridge of her nose this evening had been like most others she'd hung out in their clu room as the rest of the pures was out working with their contracts and Gathering new ones at least until her familiar came to her with some distur disturbing news which was the reason an expression of unease was present on her face as she walked toward the Church where the incident with the Fallen Angels had occurred with her Queen and toe not that aeno was fairing any better she looked torn between being nervous and angry andrias couldn't find it in her heart to blame her it wasn't every day that something like this happened in fact if aeno hadn't been there when her familiar arrived she'd probably have kept this meeting a secret for a bit though since she was there she had quite heavily insisted on coming along just to be on the safe side of everything Peno are you sure that coming along was a good idea Rya eventually asked in a quiet tone the dark-haired girl just gave a swift nod as she tried looking as determined as possible absolutely Rya the last time my sister was in time a lot of bad things happened I'm not letting you go in there alone as your queen it would be beneath me to let something like that occur just because of my personal feelings Bas wanted to argue that she was coming along because of those exact personal feelings she decided against it for the time being upsetting her best friend was the last thing she wanted to do at the moment even if she had a good point if you insist ride and walked up to the large doors leading inside the church walking straight through the entrance as the doors were open the grimy ais's eyes locked onto the side of a familiar black-haired girl that was sitting at the edge of the altar her fingers interlocked as her dark eyes followed them I must say that I'm surprised to find out you wanted to meet given that the last time you were here someone died zi stood up from her seated position and bowed her head down slightly I'm sorry about the death of the the holy sister it wasn't within my intention then what was your intention aeno chimed in her violet eyes locked on her younger sister with a Stern gaze the kenoia internally frowned as she gazed toward her Queen's trained posture the younger himim frowned a bit at the tone I was merely tasked with bringing our Strays home alive I'm sure you understand what a chain of command means had I forsaken my orders I could have been branded a traitor the keno snorted as if you're his daughter he'd not let anyone harm as much as a hair on your pretty face say let out a soft sigh he'd go to the same lengths for you I just wish you'd see it that way don't make me laugh Bri clenched her eyes shut for a second hostilities aside what is it that you want better speak fast because you're not welcome here aeno added through gritted teeth the grimy turned her head to her Queen aeno take a Brea or I'll handle this conversation I think you should go take a bit of air the girl seemed to want to protest but stopped herself before she could and turned around and walked out of the church with haste in her steps closing the doors behind IND her though staying close enough in case a battle would occur as the doors shut close Rya turned her head back to her Queen's little sister I'll ask again now that we're alone what is it that you want you may not believe me but I do not want any hostility I merely wish for the chance to speak to your brother that's all Siri answered without skipping a beat Ras crossed her arms beneath her chest why should I allow that the dark-haired girl raised a brow I just assured you I mean no harm I just want to talk to him that's the funny part because the last time time the two of you were left alone both of you were passed out on the ground my brother was in so much turmoil such a nightmare fueled sleep I could barely stand it Ria's voed loudly enough for her to hear as expected a solemn look spread on Siri's features as she clenched her fist tightly I once again apologize I did not wish to cause anyone harm Bri let out a soft sigh yet you did cause harm fortunately my brother has a very big heart and convinced me to see past my doubts and use one of my pieces on Asia so before I make a decision I want to know what your deal is what happened between you and my brother I don't know I'm being honest one minute we were fighting and the other I passed out it's only recently that I learned that he was knocked out as well sori explained keeping eye contact to try and show that she was being truthful the reeded bit the inside of her cheek it is hard to believe do you think I'll believe that a potential third party was there and left after knocking you both out not bothering doing any of you harm despite putting in enough effort to render you unconscious s let out a grunt as she crossed her arms at this point I'm starting not to care what you believe I've been respectful so far because of my opinion of your brother but even that along with the offer extended by the gregori still doesn't seem to be enough to satisfy you what offer by the gregori this is the first I hear of it Rya snorted the dark-haired girl raised a brow you mean to tell me that he hasn't told you well allow me to Enlighten you then before I left the gregori service I was part of a talk an offer was extended to your brother a formal apology for what some of hours had done r as narrowed her eyes ad bit at that what was the offer Siri Shrugged nonc caringly the governor general doesn't want any more bad blood between the factions so he extended an offer to someone that he thought would listen the holy sisters gear would be returned to her and he'd have the chance to get a member for his peage a member you mean to tell me that the gregori is just giving away one of their own R is questioned with doubt zide it's either that or death you know very well what the price is for extracting a sacred gear the Reed's eyes widened in shock the gregori is offering reer of all people to join my brother I'm not sure whether or not to laugh or I don't even know do you not remember the damage she did here she is practically the fuel for the nightmares that my page has had the past few weeks and the gregori thought that A fitting punishment that didn't mean her execution was for her to be given up to the very same people it's an ancient deal it's called slavery though the only reason the deal was brought up in the first place is that even the gregori has heard of how the gmy treats their pures like family s argued with a soft sigh Bri bit the corner of her lip as she awkwardly tapped her foot against the church's floor why wouldn't Naruto tell me of this Siri Shrugged because it's a big decision I wouldn't blame him if I were you he got to choose whether or not to sentence someone to their death and if he doesn't he'll be known as the guy that let the girl that caused this incident live among you either way he loses some apology from the gregori Ria snorted as she clenched her fists not liking the idea one bit if someone forced her brother to do something like that she'd want their head on a spike a dark-haired girl gave the grimy a look no amount of money or anything similar would have been able to serve as a good apology not only is Azel giving the girl back what was rightfully hers but he's also giving up the person that was responsible it isn't the Gregor's fault that the removal of a sacred gear means certain death I guess we owe that to the big guy you mean God Siri Shrugged again isn't he the one that created this Twisted system you get a supposed gift something that people will hunt you for people want to steal it and if they succeed you die I'd rather call that a curse and here I thought I wouldn't agree with you on anything I'm surprised a slight smirk seemed to lift sori's lips as she blink slowly so what will it be can you show me the way to your brother I'm supposed to be the messenger so when he has an answer I'll pass it along to the gregori briz let out a grunt as she Shrugged at the other girl I would love to help but my brother is as unpredictable as the wind I don't keep track of where he is going xun's lips curled upward again more and more seemed to indicate this was indeed a Naruto there wasn't much that indicated anything else really but everything seemed too good to be true at the moment some would ask if she was crazy leaving her home behind to chase someone who perhaps wasn't even the person she thought he was she didn't care though the chance of it being him was enough for her so she wouldn't let anyone try and convince her otherwise until he looked her in the eye and claimed he had no clue who she was she'd continue to believe that the red-haired man was indeed her knucklehead I see will you allow me to go look for him myself then Siri asked Ras looked her over given that you've shown no signs of wanting to aggravate me or the house of gory I'm tempted to say yes however the fact that the last time Fallen Angels came around here there was so much trouble I don'tk know why should I Siri returned the glance yet didn't seem to be the least bothered you don't have many reasons to let me but plenty of reasons as to why you should say no I won't blame you for your answer but I'll find him with or without permission I'd just rather that I do it the proper way and you think I'd let you you're in gry territory if the Gregor already extended this apology I'm not sure it' be a clever decision the Fallen Angel chuckled a bit as I said before I'm no longer part of the Gori so my actions are those of my own we both know I'm the strongest of the two of us and with that I mean no disrespect I want to talk to your brother I'd prefer not to insult his sister to do so the crimson-haired girl let out a brief breath you have until tomorrow morning discuss your business with him and leave and trust me if you're still here it won't be me that you have to worry about Ras finished and turned around as she began to leave their footsteps echoed throughout the church until the large doors creaked open leaving the dark-haired girl behind SII gave a slight smile she knew this was merely thrix as the aist to House of the 72 pillars showing weakness would potentially be a bad thing she was right to do so and for that she wouldn't blame her however she doubted that her trip here would be done by tomorrow if anything it had just begun the Hima began to leave as well after she figured enough minutes had passed she'd rather not walk outside just to be forced to endure another conversation with a gry and her sister not that she didn't love her sister because she did however there was too much bad blood between them at the moment something she hoped she could fix in the future but at the moment it didn't seem likely as he walked out of the church and closed the door behind her she began walking down through the woods preparing to fly off as soon as she was far enough away but she couldn't dismissed the feeling of someone following her you might as well come out now she called out as she stopped walking and turned around the Moonlight that was lighting up The Path she was standing on soon revealed someone else as well the dim light of the Moon reflected off her dark locks as a pair of violet eyes stared into her own black ones Siri felt a bit of unease creep up inside of her as she grasped the sleeve of her shirt I didn't think you'd want to talk to me aeno the dark-haired girl kept staring at her for a while before she finally responded neither did I the younger sister stared at aeno as she thought about what to say despite having lived a past life there was no doubt in her mind that she truly did love her new sibling regardless of past or present there was no arguing against the fact that they had the same blood flowing through their veins I'm sorry she eventually mouthed out the Kendall looked down to the side why a bit surprised about actually getting an answer Siri responded you're in pain I never meant to haunt you why would you be Haunting Me I'm free now Siri sighed so you mean to tell me that the reason you said I'm not welcome isn't because of who I am the quick chuckle escaped to Keno's lips if I said yes it be a lie do you hate me Siri asked hesitantly it wasn't a question out of spite merely out of curiosity she'd once hated her older brother passionately and now the roles had been reversed in this life it seemed like it was her turn to be hated the only difference was that she didn't have a brother this time only a sister that had been wrong she didn't blame aeno if she did hate her she more than anyone understood what hatred could do to a person and what kind of things it could make you do just to make those clouded thoughts disappear from your head the Kenall looked shocked at the question despite common belief it wasn't a thought she'd had before sure there were certain thoughts about her father and her opinion of him but hating her sister she hadn't thought of it like that before she bit the inside of her cheek as she gathered her hands in front of her no I don't hate you if she wasn't surprised before sori was quite flabbergasted now you don't I thought all along that you despised the very side of me you wouldn't be wrong I won't deny that seeing your face makes me angry aeno started gazing over at the slightly crestfallen expression of her younger sister before finishing but I won't deny either that seeing it also brings me joy Siri looked into her sister's eyes at that I don't understand the small shrug lifted a Keno's shoulders Ria's brother once told me something I'm not particularly fond of men but he said to me that well my Prejudice was to be expected it shouldn't make me put the blame where it doesn't belong he's the first man I've come to like after our family's incident I'm not a man though sori mumbled with a raised brow though a slight bit of jealousy also seemed to creep up inside her the Kendo let out a quick chuckle I know but it's because of him that I've come to understand one person doesn't describe the whole group it's no secret I lo father but you're not him so well seeeing a face that reminds me so much of our mom I can't hate you do you know him well Nito gy I mean seori asked in all but a whisper unsure of where this conversation would go aeno just gave a slight nod of her head Rya was the one that saved my life when I joined her I met her little brother truth be told I loed the very sight of him I wanted nothing more than for him to leave me alone however he is a persistent one sir let out a few giggles this indeed sounded much like the Naruto she used to know he wouldn't leave you be despite being confused about her sisters laughing she decided to ignore it oh no despite how much I blatantly bullied him he was always there the next day with that stupid grin on his face as he told me the joke of the century gosh I hated him for that I see Siri answered with a slight smile beo let out a brief sigh why are you so interested in him I listen in on your conversation well I was mad and still am Ria is my king I wouldn't leave her side just because of this as I said I'm to be a messenger before I'm free of the gregori completely I never meant to stay there my entire life but I'll admit that he is interesting I want to know as much as anyone else why I passed out in our fight she answered while a bit of it was partially a lie there was also a bit of truth to it aeno gave a slow nod of her head Ria gave you until tomorrow to meet him I leave now so I won't take up more of your time the darkhaired girl finished as she turned around and began to walk away a bit surprised about the sudden leaving Siri lifted her head to stare at the back of her sister can we talk again soon the older sister paused in her steps as she clenched her eyes tight for a second turning her head in sir's Direction but not looking at her well I don't hate you I still feel weird talking to you I took a leap of faith coming here despite what I feel you're still my sister I felt like you deserved as much I appreciate the chance I'll wait for you if you want to talk again the keno couldn't help give the smallest of smiles go to the nearby waterfalls he likes to hang around there for some reason she finished and began walking away in direction of which she came until she was no longer in sight though what she failed to notice was how sori had visibly stiffened At The Mention Of where he liked to be butterf Falls she let out a few soft Giggles the irony a smile lifted her lips a bit as she folded out her wings and leaked into the air she hadn't been to kuo before the other day so she'd have to find a map but the thoughts still occupied her mind it was truly ironic that the person she'd longed to find the most had always been in the exact place she left him at a waterfall blue green eyes watched over the water as it fell in front of his eyes as a soft sigh escaped his lips here anaan threw his Crimson locks as he sat down on the grass field by the river and rested his elbows on top of his knees as he simply kept watching the waterfall in front of him the morning sun was starting to rise behind him last night had been without any sleep so he'd found himself here again whenever he visited the human world as some would call it he often came by this place there were of course some similar places down in the Underworld but none of them was quite as remarkable as this one probably because this one reminded him of his past life and the person he used to be however the lack of the two great statues of Madara and hashar raenu were lacking had there been something like those monuments he'd probably have bought a house nearby it easily reminded him of his time as Naruto Uzumaki some would say that the saying gone but not forgotten would be the ideal phrase for his situation but he disagree he was neither gone nor forgotten in fact he'd argue that he was still the same person just a different variant of him Bashi had once told him that experience goes a long way in changing a man to become someone or something else and he'd been right his death and having to endure childhood a second time had done both Horrors and wonders to him it had broughten his perspective of what kind of person he was it was also like a test to see whether or not he so firmly believed in the words he'd spoken back in the elemental Nations his catch forces that said never go back on his word and that there were no shortcuts in life nuto let out a soft breath as he rubbed his face despite how much he tried to avoid thinking about it all he just couldn't she was coming soon and he'd see her again a meeting he desired so much but now he was scared he'd Frau the aotus reanimated Shinobi an army of white zetsu tailed beasts and a supposed Goddess that had been the source of chakra in his old life yet reuniting with a person he'd loved the most was the thing that was scaring him the most it made him laugh one could say he was feeling a bit pathetic perhaps he was though oddly enough it all seemed to vanish the moment he heard some water splash behind him throughout all the years he'd come here on occasion not once had there been anyone besides him which left only one person in mind the crimson-haired devil stood up with his back still facing the way he'd heard the gravel crunch beneath a pair of feet his eyes still pointed toward the waterfall but not focusing on it at all nuto as the sound of her voice met his ears he could feel his breath hitch in the back of his throat You know despite how many times I've been called that there is only one person that knows where it's truly from after today it might be two people that know when the words left his lips he turned around and as his body moved his eyes slowly landed on the same woman he'd fought during the Fallen Angels incident a person he very much wished to believe was from the exact same place that he was her expression wasn't something he'd expect of his former teammate it was only on rare occasions that she seemed to be overflowing with both happiness but also sadness I want you to say my name sori he asked with a raised brow the woman shook her head and took a step down the road she was standing on the water of the river separating them for the time being my real name if you are who I think you are then youd know what I mean by that Nudo couldn't help but chuckle a bit as his lips lifted upward into a smile any doubt in his mind had been washed away by her request as he folded his arms in front of him I think I can do you one better and what would that be she questioned uneasily theed continued to smile as he began to speak your name was SE AA the little sister of Itachi one of the finest Shinobi I had the honor of meeting Rookie of the Year well I was the dead last and a key part of sealing kagaya atset tsuki and also the person I had the pleasure of chazzing all around the world once and with each word leaving his mouth he'd take another step down the road and toward her as he got down as far as he could the tip of his boots just touching the gravel he chuckled a bit and also the person I had the pleasure of chazzing all over the elemental Nations but I could have gone without the hole in my shoulder he teased but really is you sayori whispered out her body suddenly froze in solid in place she didn't understand it all she'd ever wanted for the past 17 years was just on the other side of the road Nudo also noticed her strange Behavior so he frowned a bit before he forced a few words through his lips are you scared the soft snort left her as she idly touched her arm why would I be scared because I sure as hell am he admitted through a sheepish chuckle as he scratched the back of his head Z had to smile a bit at that she could easily see the Sheepish blonde she'd come to know in the reflection of who he was now even if his appearance was different he was still the same dovee her entire body still felt tense as if she was reliving all the things she'd done to harm him in the past she could only shakily grasp at her own sleeve forcing her eyes away from his but when her gaze lowered her heartbeat began to Quicken once she saw him lift up his arm extending a hand in her direction as if she moved on autopilot her eyes lifted to meet his again but they were met with no hostility only the same kindness she'd always known well aside from the few things from when they were competing as Jen but even then it had never been out of Cruelty she'd lift her hand in a shaky Manner and accept the one extended to her with a sudden Rush of warmth spreading through her her eyes which she couldn't get away fast enough before were practically glued to his as if waiting for the secret or trick the infamous prankster was about to pull but it never came not so bad right he asked after a bit which in turn made her throw out a quick chuckle as if that was the queue she'd been waiting for she reached up and wrapped her arms around him as tightly as she could staring into his shoulder as she could feel the warmth of his body keeping her eyes open to make sure that if she blinked he wouldn't just disappear from her again it felt a bit silly but it was a fear she'd acquired way too often had she woken up in the middle of the night dreaming of something that turned out to be just that a dream nuto himself was shocked by the action for a minute but in the end he couldn't find it in him to fight the temptation to return the Embrace so he did and brought her in as close as he could it's good to see you she nodded slowly against him as her fingers clawed into the fabric of his jacket I'm sorry bed raised his brow as he gave her a confused look for what if you mean our little fight a few weeks ago then you don't have to apologize I wasn't hurt if anything it was just an involuntary nap Siri shook her head and placed a hand on the left side of his chest her breathing getting clamber as she felt his heartbeat no that's not what I meant I'm sorry for everything us being here it's all my fault come on now don't look at it like that it takes two to fight as we did he reassured and gently rubbed her back and looked down at her as she tilted her head back their eye contact regained though he immediately knew something was off not once in his life had he ever seen her cry well if you didn't count their final moments together at least so as a few tears started to roll down her cheeks she rapidly shook her head again you don't get it you tried to save me and bring me home and what I did in return was to take your life I killed you she mumbled between a few soft sobs if you killed me then I killed you too wek both here now aren't we he argued back and wiped a few tears away from her cheeks she remained silent though her body would occasionally do a small twitch as she tried to keep herself calm her thoughts were racing inside her head everything that she'd ever done felt like it was all coming back to her now I know I did terrible things and hurt you I don't want you to hate me please don't nunk eyes widened slowly as the meaning of her word settled in his head I don't how could you not I tried to kill you several times and succeeded I doomed our world I hurt our friends I betrayed you and everyone else she suddenly shouted at his face the ation clearly evident on her face though what he did next shocked her she felt his hand cup her cheek and lift her head but before she could protest or question his actions she felt her heart skip a beat in her chest as his face inched closer and his lips softly pressed against her own the pleasant warmth spread throughout her as she felt him kiss her a sensation she'd wished to experience throughout so many years both in this life and in her former gently she grabbed onto his jacket to keep him there in place and returned the kiss her eyes fluttered closed to focus on this moment closing off all her senses to their surroundings that all of a sudden seemed like the least important things in the world instead she settled for focusing on the lone thing that truly mattered to her he wasn't 100% sure what had come over him at this moment but it was safe to say that he didn't regret a thing not one bit this was something he'd wanted for the majority of his former life so to experience it now allowed him to feel the most satisfying feeling he'd only ever dreamt of experiencing back in his days of being a Shinobi her lips were full and pillowy as he kissed her he could tell she was startled but soon enough she had returned the gesture it only made him tighten his grasp on her which she seemed to lean into almost instantly if he tried to tell this would be an actuality to his old self back in his Jen and days there was no doubt in his mind that he wouldn't believe it one bit but at last it had finally happened the moment felt like an eternity that was over in almost a second like how you'd explain to people that when you were in love you'd feel like you'd known each other for your whole life in a sense they had as the need for air became a necessity he'd slow pull away her lips looked a tad bit puffier afterward and he caught himself staring for a bit before his gaze returned to her dark Hues I could never hate you because I love you I think we established that a long time ago no he chuckled slightly as he raised his fingers to play a bit with her hair sori looked up at him with a sense of doubt in her eyes do you really as he registered the question Naruto raised a brow out of confusion have you ever known me to be a liar why would I lie about something like that she slowly Shrugged as she wrapped her fingers around his wrist to keep it in place we were different people back then in a very different world Nudo hummed thoughtfully as he slowly let go of her despite a reluctance to lose her grip tapping his chin thoughtfully he stepped down the river bank and grabbed a nearby Rock and skipped it across the water surface I don't know about that but a growingly curious stare she stepped down beside him and watched him toss the stones one by one don't know about what they gave a small shrug as he examined a stone in the palm of his hand do you think you're different but you're no longer in a well I don't have a Sharingan anymore so that itd be a dead giveaway she retorted with a slight smirk Naruto had to roll his eyes a bit but couldn't help but smiled back at her familiar quirky attitude shingan or not and a is in a it's the same for me you Zaki chakra or not I'm still the same me well on the inside I guess I'm sure my current jeans would beg to differ from my former statement she gave him a quiet stare before eventually just nodding her head I guess there's some truth to that it's what I believe at least as long as I can remember my surname was once uzamaki then that's part of who I am always will be he chuckled and picked up a stick from the ground drawing a couple of lines from his memory of the map of the elemental Nations and the world well there's just more in it now we grew up in a world with only five major Villages and a handful of smaller ones it was all on one continent and a couple of islands around it here more than I'd be happy to count if we were to include all the places from the different factions and pantheons Z stared at his hand as he drew a map on the ground for her own memory it wasn't very accurate and he had surely mixed a few Nations around but it made her smile nonetheless I've missed this about you my artistic skills he asked with a raised brow but a quick snort she shook her head the way you think I used to think it was annoying when we first got put on team seven but I started to feel different after our mission to wave as much as you got on my nerves it pushed me to do better he chuckled a bit I think we pushed each other a lot getting a slightly more somber look on his face as he spoke the next sentence I missed you I never thought I'd see you again he finished as he scratched the back of his head but you did she replied as a smile began to lift her lips nuto looked a bit surprised as he scratched the back of his head it wasn't often he'd seen her truly smile back in the day but as always it was a beautiful and welcome sight I guess I did she chuckled a bit at his behavior before the question that had been burning in the back of her mind finally escaped her lips so what happens now proof be told he'd wondered that himself there were a lot of things he wanted to do and back in the day he'd probably have jumped at any excuse to keep her as close as possible what do you want to happen now I uh I left the gregori I don't want to beat around the bush anymore I feel like I've run away from you most of my life felt like it was about time that I did the opposite she admitted trying her best to maintain eye contact but finding it a tad bit difficult he'd lie if he said he didn't feel a ton of relief at this moment well her dad had already said she'd left because of him there was no telling what it truly meant I'm glad I don't want to beat around the bush anymore either Siri gave him a smile again as she rubbed the back of her neck so um is it true that Devils get their own like pieces to create teams technically yes but it's referred to as a purage all highclass Devils get a purage set that is like CH pieces which will then turn people into a devil connected to the said king of that purage he explained to the best of his ability she gave him a slow nod so just like my father explained it appears so Naro responded Siri gave him a look for a bit before her cheeks visibly darkened a bit do you have any free spots left in your peage I mean theed couldn't help but chuckle a bit which in turn made her give him a blank stare what are you laughing about she asked in a semi-heated tone he stopped chuckling at that as he stepped closer you beat me to it he responded and reached down for her hand slowly lifting her Palm up as he placed something there and closed her fingers around it this is yours if you want it sir looked up as she rested her hand in his her eyes staring over him as a small smirk grazed her pink lips if this is upon Pawn piece I'm beating you up again again he questioned with a raised brow she nodded don't act like I didn't beat you back in the valley when we were jenin arudo hummed a bit as he chuckled technically we were Jen and both times we frought in the valley sori rolled her eyes as she slowly unfolded her hands to catch a glimpse of what she assumed was a purage piece however as soon as she did she could feel her heart skip a beat and a sense of uncertainty wash over her as she gazed down at the Red Queen piece that was in her Palm in a matter of seconds afterward she snapped her head up to him watching ing his expression that seemed as chill his eyes what is this a page piece he answered swiftly du she said in an exasperated tone but are you sure this is the queen right arudo gave a slow nod of his head yeah I mean don't you want it she waved her free hand in the air in front of him dismissively before she took a deep breath I do it's just that after everything I've done would you really trust me with this responsibility isn't the job of a queen to be the right hand of the king the former blonde let out a slow breath as he curled her fingers up around the queen piece again I can't think of anyone that deserves it more than you sure we've had our less than fortunate moments but you're also the person I can in all honesty say I trust the most to have it plus you know me better than anyone else ever could but I do suppose it's hard to beat the fact that I know you used to be a knucklehead blonde with no sense for fashion whatsoever she teased with a glint in her eyes ahha very funny Naruto sighed with a roll of his eyes she continued to smirk at him as she fidgeted the evil piece around in her hand so how does it work do you need some kind of ritual for it the grimy scratched the back of his head from what I hear it can be pretty taxing since it turns you into one of us so I'd imagine we should first go somewhere you can rest I know my sister said something along the lines of people occasionally passing out after receiving an evil piece though guess I'll have to check into a hotel then she sighed and rubbed her temples gudo tilted his head and thought how come zi raised a brow at him given that I've left the gregori I figured I could just stay at a hotel or something until I figured out some new living arrangements oh I see Naruto hummed as he tapped his chin well I've been staying at my sister's place for a while now I suppose it's about time that I found my own place given that I may stick around here for a bit I don't really feel like going back to the underworld anytime soon why not seori asked curiously Nudo sighed loudly and scratched the back of his head letun just say that my father is a fool and I'd rather not destroy our home by trying to kick his ass she shook her head a bit at his Antics seems like some things don't change anyhow you coming Siri tilted her head coming where theed gave her a look to find an apartment or a house I don't know something to live in I don't particularly care what just as long as it isn't a box under a bridge somewhere you want us to live together aren't we skipping some steps she teased as she walked up to his side and began to walk with him the gravel crunching beneath their feet as they made their way back into town without flying just taking their time enjoying each other's company dudo Shrugged as far as I understand kings and queens usually live together if you're thinking of getting us a castle I'm picking a box under a bridge instead she said with a dead pan expression of course not though we might have to consider something Spacey if we decide to have our future purage live with us he noted out loud s looked up at him from the corner of her eyes as they passed under the crowns of some trees shielding them from the Sun and casting Shadows around them that's true do we have the money for that oh trust me money isn't an issue he chuckled with a grin she had to shake her head at him again as her lips crawled upward into a small smile slowly she'd reach over to grasp his hand and intertwine their fingers enjoying the warmth he emitted as she mentally noted that while he might look different he was still the same as he had stated money hadn't been an issue so for the majority of the day they just walked sound and talked with various real estate agents trying to find some kind of house they liked there were a lot of hits and misses though there was one that they settled for in the end which they both liked while the house itself was was nice they'd also picked it because of how close it was located to kuo Academy so whenever he had to go there to talk with his sister it wouldn't be that long for a trip plus SEI wanted to reconnect with her sister eventually as well so living somewhere nearby would most definitely help in that regard the house they'd agreed upon was a two-story building with a nice master bedroom and more than a handful of spare ones two large bathrooms a large joint kitchen and living room aside from that they had what appeared to be a meeting room coincidentally there was long table with a total of 16 chairs around it it had made him chuckle a bit to which sori had to Elbow him in the side so the real estate agent wouldn't think he was a weirdo he chuckled a bit at the thought as he walked around the table and trailed his fingers along the wooden surface as he got toward the end of the table and the largest chair he pulled it out from under the table and took a seat and let a soft breath Escape his lips as he leaned back the equivalent of chairs was the same as the number of purage pieces you were given so if he needed to make some Grand announcement once he had assembled a full purage well he'd have both space and seats enough for everyone as he leaned back he gazed out the window behind him and at the Setting Sun he'd have to go over to Ria's place before too long to gather his belongings and also inform her that he had gotten his own space it did probably make her a bit sad at first since they'd always been close and sticking together he just didn't think it' end well if he tried to have seori stay there with the both of them especially without a proper explanation of what had happened it' be a recipe for disaster as he was sitting there his own thoughts he was brought back to the present by the sound of the door creaking open so this is where you were hiding he heard seori comment as she entered the room and walked up to him he smiled a bit as he patted the seat to his right and watched her take a seat with an amused look not hiding just thinking so are you ready to get the queen piece well as soon as I pick out a bedroom sure she nodded with a casual shrug we could always stay together I mean the master bedroom is big enough for two he suggested and scratched his cheek their eyes widened a tad bit before she giggled at his behavior well all right then though I want the right side of the bed no way that's the best side he argued she Shrugged exactly and it's mine nuto let out a sigh as he rested his elbow on the table and his chin in the palm of his hand fine you can have the right side glad to see that we agree she continued to tease as she leaned back in her seat as he watched her soon his lips would fall into a small frown as some thoughts came to mind something wrong he blinked slowly before he scratched his scalp kinda I guess well it depends on you me she asked curiously nuto bit the inside of his cheek as he tapped his fingers against the table do you remember I said that I didn't want to go home because I can't stand my dad you called him a fool if I recall it correctly he nodded at that thing is he essentially married my sister off to a guy from another house someone she pretty much despises as you probably know a number of devils have been pumbing down because of wars and crap so it's all based on politics but I still hate it not sure what that has to do with me but yeah he doesn't sound Pleasant she grunted trying not to voice out too openly what she really thought it was still nut's new dad so it probably wouldn't be the best to curse him aruto chuckled a bit the evil pieces were created so we could regain our numbers however my dad wanted to improve the relationship with another house and thus arranged for R to marry this Riser guy no matter what we've done we've been unable to break it off I haven't given up though but she isn't the only one with some kind of arrangement the young woman's eyes widen slightly at that as she gritted her teeth behind her lips so you are engaged what no I probably worded that wrong well I might as well have been since the number of devils in our house is lower than ever he gave me a choice to make he started and fidgeted uneasily in place what choice seori asked as she reached over to grasp onto his hand for some support he smiled at her as he wrapped his fingers around her hand you probably won like it I had the choice between an arranged marriage contract with someone from another pillar that or since I'm a male devil produce airs with more than one woman that'll all take the last name gory there was a long moment of silence and Naruto could feel the sweat drip down his nose as he looked down at the table not being able to look her in the eye it was probably something he should have led with when they met and before he kissed her but since he'd been too caught up in the moment of meeting the love of his life it had all disappeared from his mind as soon as he saw her so you're to have concubines correct as he heard her question he turned his head to her and gave a slow yet unsure knot of his head in a sense I suppose I figured that since a lot of male Devils have taken Mistresses to replenish our numbers I'd at least have the chance to be with some women that I could come to like felt like a more safe gamble than to put all money on 50/50 50/50 she asked slowly Nudo turned his head to her and nodded yeah there is no telling whether or not I'd have been able to get along with a fiance through an arranged marriage especially if it had been forced upon her like Ria I see s mumbled as her eyes were slightly shadowed by her dark locks the gri let out his soft breath as he looked over at her and squeezed her hand I'm sorry I should have said it sooner if you want reconsider taking the queen peace now I understand would I be just another concubine to you she slowly asked as his mind registered the question his eyes widened quickly and he rapidly shook his head what of course not I've said it before and I'll say it again I love you if I had to pick any woman to marry it it be you her body did a small twitch at that as she lifted her head her dark Hues were wide open as she stared at him before she burst into a fit of Giggles did you just indirectly propose to me a surprise was evident on his face as he looked toward the other end of the room I suppose I did so what we already cheated the whole till death do us part crap he said with a small Huff Tori smiled a bit at him as she stroked the back of his hand with her thumb I can't say I like it but I get that it is politics and part of your family's decision just please promise me one thing what's up he asked with a slow tilt of his head she let out a slow breath as she bit the inside of her cheek at least pick some good girls and don't just treat them like concubines like you and your sister they might not have much of a choice or perhaps they like you I can't say that I like it and in honesty I'd rather keep you to myself but I've let too much I couldn't control dictate my former life I won't make the same mistake again also I'd like to know who you will you know what I mean if I to be your queen I want to know such things so I can help and protect you nuto could easily tell that it was probably both stressful and to some degree pain ful to say all that and he couldn't blame her back when he had been told about the arrangement he'd at least found peace in the fact he could at least get a good relationship with the girls but that didn't mean he hadn't thrown a fit like someone his age would like Ria he' practically torn the door off its hinges and hurled it out the window in protest despite all of that his father had been as stubborn as a boulder unmoving in regard to his decision all he could do was to make the best out of it and at least he'd have the person he cherished the most by his side which made him happy everything seemed a bit easier now that she was here it made him chuckle a bit as he recalled all the times he practically cursed anyone that had suggested him being in love with her especially Eno that yamanaka could hit all the right nerves well it was to be expected of the queen of Gossip thank you and I promise I won't do you anyone else wrong if I have to do this I'll do it the right way he reassured that's nice to hear now about that Queen peace can we get it over with I'm honestly quite tired as it is and if it makes me pass out well I can get the sleep of a lifetime she chuckled slightly the Grier looked a bit surprised you sure you still want the peace she rolled her eyes I just said I won't let things out of my control dictate my life anymore this is within my control and I want to and I want to stay with you to become your queen seems like a small and pleasant price to pay she finished with a teasing grin on her face the reded couldn't help but stare at the suggestive smirk on the woman's face as began to feel a bit heated in order to clear his mind he coughed into his hand and stood up to his feet right well letun get going then what's wrong you looked a bit heated she kept going as she stood up as well purposefully leaning up against him so her chest was slightly pressing into his torso he looked down at her for a second before her olded his eyes you really like to torture me huh perhaps it's funny she noted and backed away and began to lead the way toward the master bedroom upstairs the floor would slightly Creak with their footsteps as they entered the dark room the redid would reach over the flick on the lights while s yri stood in the middle of the room and looked around he'd soon join her as he reached his hand forward and she placed a queen piece in the palm of his hand again she took a seat on the bed and waited patiently for what was about to happen I uh need direct skin contact to make it work the easiest he spoke in a calm tone as he climbed up onto the bed behind her seated form and knelt on the mattress sir's cheeks flushed a light pink as she began to unbutton her purple vest and the button-up shirt beneath inch by inch more of her creamy and pale skin would be revealed as she slid the fabric down her shoulders and arms letting him stare at her naked back as she leaned forward nuto took a deep breath as he raised his palm upward and the queen peace began to Glow as it floated out of his hand and toward her back he could see the Goosebumps begin to rise on her skin as she let out a soft groan as the queen PE centered her back and before she could ask if he was done she was taken back by surprise as two Wings sprouted from her back normally she had six wings but now she had two one with dark feathers and the other one like that of a devil she slowly reached back to touch her new Wing before turning back to look at nuto again did it work nuto nodded slowly yeah it worked it's like your sister One Wing of each well she hides her fullen angel one but a don't tell her I said that how are you feeling but a quick stretch she leaned back against his chest almost completely forgotten she was mere inches away from being half naked tired you should get some rest he commented as he placed his hands on her arms so she wouldn't fall over from exhaustion she gave him a quick look through half- lited eyes what are you going to do nuto gave her a small Smile as he rubbed her skin which she seemed to enjoy as she leaned further into him I'm going to go see my sister tell her about having found my own place and get some of my stuff that's over there then I'll come home that sweet she smiled followed by a soft yawn um what is he asked curiously she Shrugged a bit as she was failing to keep her eyes open you already called this home I guess I did he smiled down at her as he was about to say something else though he stopped him self he noticed her breathing began to get slower and her body heavier I guess she fell asleep he inwardly chuckled as he pulled the covers back on the bed and readjusted her clothes carrying her Bridal style as he laid her down on the mattress and tucked her in as he had made sure she was looking comfortable he slowed back out of the room as silently as he could flicked off the lights and closed the door behind him with a soft click I guess it's time to go Siri as then he sighed and began to walk down the hallway readjusting his jacket as he prepared himself for the conversation to come
