Chapter 17

Kana and Leviathan

Next day Morning, Uzumaki Mansion

'That was a great dream' thought Kazehana. She woke up from her sleep and rubbed her eyes off her sleep, she took in her surroundings.

Instead of the bland colours of her room, the room was filled with luxurious furniture and lavish paintings. She also found that her clothes were changed into a set of pyjamas by someone.

"Already awake I see" she heard and turned to see Lavinia Reni, her Club Vice President, standing at the door with a tray of tea. She walked in and put the tray on the table beside her bed. Kazehana stared at her, dumbfounded.

"What? Can't believe what you are seeing?" Asked Reni with a smile.

"She would not be a sane person if she didn't react like that" came a male voice. Kazehana turned to the voice to see Naruto, the man of her dreams leaning on the door, relaxed.

"Wh-what's going on?" She asked finally, as she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Dummy, that's not a dream, that's true," said Reni, sipping tea. Kazehana just stared at Naruto for confirmation. Naruto nodded, acknowledging what Reni said.

"As you wished, I took you in. Didn't you join the Club for that?" Asked Naruto with a smile. A smile that made Kazehana's heart skip.

"Yes, but-"

"You didn't expect that to happen?" Filled in Naruto as he walked closer to her bed.

"Yes. How could I be such naïve to think like that"

"Now, now. No need to be gloomy. Now that you have achieved what you wanted, what do you want to do?"

"Uh, I didn't think about it" she replied sheepishly.

"Hahahahaha" laughed Reni.

"Of course, you didn't. At least you are going to keep your promise, right?" Asked Naruto.

"Y-yes. If it isn't a dream, I heartfully accept whatever you assign me to do" she said with a smile. At last catching up with the fact that she has finally achieved her goal. She is with the man she desired and as promised, she is going to help him.

"Good. As for the question you thought about. These are our original forms. The forms you see in school are just transformations. We should let lose at home at least, you know" said Naruto with a wink and Reni giggled.

Kazehana took their appearances. Naruto's face is mature and had some muscles to his body and he seems to be an 18-19 man compared to the 16-17 year-old look he has in the school.

While Reni looked like someone of Naruto's age, her body is more mature than that is seen in school. In fact, Reni's body is more mature than her own.

"By the way, you also changed. Look" said Naruto and a mirror materialised in front of her. She can see the difference. Her body developed more curves and her chest grew an inch or two with her body growing in height as well. But the most different thing was her muscles.

Whereas before the change, she had a lean build which gave her good strength, now she can see the outlines of muscles and had the feeling that she can crush anything in the world.

"Amazing!"

"Isn't it. See, my Rook piece gave her so much strength" said Naruto.

"Yes, I can see that," agreed Reni.

"Hmm, how about we give her a good nickname" suggested Reni.

"Nickname, you say. That's a great idea" Asked Naruto.

"Kazehana is a big name to say and having a short name to call is going to make things easier," said Reni.

"Yes. Your's and Miya-chan's names are small as well. Then how about, Hana?"

"No, that's too obvious"

"Kaze also not good"

"Kana, don't you think that's good?"

"Yes, and it has the meaning of Powerful/Strong as well. Best fit for our dear Rook" said Naruto.

"Kana-chan. Do you like your name?" Asked Naruto.

"Yes, of course. No one gave me a nickname till now. Kana, I like it" said Kazehana. Things are going so fast for her mind to comprehend and she didn't even notice the mention of a new name.

"So, where do you live?" Asked Reni.

"Ah, I live in an apartment nearby. My parents died in an accident a few years ago and since then I'm an orphan" said Kana.

"Oh, I'm sorry for your loss," said Naruto.

"I'm happy now. I found a purpose in my life now. Thank you, thank you so much, Naruto-kun" said Kazehana and hugged Naruto, tears falling from her eyes.

"Well, if you want a family, you got one. Listen, after your school year ends, you can move in with us to this house. We have a lot of rooms you know" said Naruto.

"Really, can I do that?" She asked in joy.

"Of course, dear. You can" said Naruto. His smile widened looking at the joyous expression of Kazehana.

"Reni-chan, prepare this room for Kana-chan. She seems to like it"

"Of course, Naruto-kun"

"Now, I want to discuss our strategy in school," said Naruto. The mood shifted to seriousness in one second.

"Kana, do anyone else know about you or your clan?" Asked Naruto.

"Well, I used to be a member of the Student Council until last year. After Souna came, we are removed and new members are added. No one knows about my clan in our school"

"Ok, does your clan have any disputes with any factions?" Asked Naruto.

"Um, I don't know," she said with a lost expression.

"I guess we'll deal it with when they come"

"Ok, we'll act normal in school. You go to school, come to our club room and we do our regular activities. But the change comes after that. You come here after club and we'll train you in secret" said Naruto with a smile.

"What? Train? Train for what?" Asked Kazehana.

"Train to be better. I want you to be ready for anything" said Naruto with a stern look.

"I am a wind user as well. So I can teach you how to use it. And there are good exercises I have for your strength improvement as well" said Naruto with a smile. That smile sent chills through Kazehana's spine.

'Why do I feel as if I stepped into a Heaven looking Hell' she thought in her mind. But it was too late to withdraw now.

After fixing few things, Kazehana went to her home to get ready for school.

"She doesn't feel comfortable at all" pointed out Reni.

"I know. That's why I'm taking it slow. Everyone can't be as adaptable as you, Reni dear" said Naruto with a smile.

"Yes, I know that," said Reni with her chest puffing out in pride.

"Why her though? Don't you think you wasted a Rook piece there"

"I can understand what you are talking about. Why to waste a strong piece as Rook on someone weak in Supernatural standards" said Naruto and Reni nodded her head in agreement.

"Tell me, what happens when you train a strong person?"

"They become even more stronger" replied Reni. Her mind started to connect the dots.

"Yes, but their pride will increase to insurmountable levels and that may cause chaos. But when you train a weak person to become strong, even if they become strong, they know the feeling of being weak and they strive to help others instead of picking on weak" said Naruto.

"That is true. I forgot that I came from that stage myself" said Reni.

"Yes, but in your case, you have a Longinus, in Kana's case, she has the blessing of Fūjin," said Naruto.

"Blessing, isn't it like an equivalent to Sacred Gear?" Asked Reni.

"You can compare. But the blessing is more powerful than Sacred Gears. As Sacred Gears are run by God's miracle system, while Blessings are given to certain individuals by the concerned Deity. She doesn't know about it yet. I'm going to pull that potential out of her" said Naruto with maniacal glee.

'You never cease to amaze me, Naruto-kun. To see through hidden things like a blessing is not an easy thing to accomplish. So, she is not weak after all' thought Reni.

'Come to think of it, she didn't use her wind when she fought me. I wonder what happens if she uses that' thought Reni.

Scene Break

After School, Ninja Club Building

"That's it for today, you guys. You did well. Keep practising and I'll teach you more katas next week" said Naruto.

"Hai, Taichou," said all the girls. He was training them in Kenjutsu and 1 girl, in particular, has a good grasp of it than others. He is not going to let these girls be one-trick ponies like how he used to be in his youth before the 4th Great Shinobi War.

'Now I sound like a reminiscing old man' thought Naruto.

"Ara, ara. What a fierce style" came a female voice. All of them turned to see Akeno Himejima, Occult Research Club Vice President standing at the entrance of the Club.

"What are you doing here, Akeno?" Asked Naruto. He sensed her coming. That doesn't mean he is not curious why she is here.

"President wants to talk to you about our schedule on Sunday," she said with a smile.

"Ah, yes. I forgot about it. Thank you, Akeno. I'll be there in a few minutes" said Naruto, rubbing the back of his sheepishly. The girls behind him giggled in joy saying 'handsome' and 'hot'.

Akeno's eyebrow twitched at that, but she didn't respond. If only she was given free rein over these…, she is going to show them why they should fear to say those words in her presence.

Naruto expected her to leave but she stayed put, staring at the other girls who were giggling at his gesture. It is common for him after all.

"Reni-chan, continue their practice. I'll be going" whispered Naruto and went with Akeno.

"Ara, ara. You have a good fan club there" she said with a giggle.

"Yes. They admire me so much, sometimes it becomes a hassle to manage them"

"Ufufufufu. It's good, isn't it?" She asked with a smile.

"Yes. I definitely can't say no to that"

"What are you planning on Sunday?" She asked curiously.

"Why should I spoil all the fun? Wait for it and you'll know" said Naruto with a smirk. After all, he doesn't know what those girls had planned for him.

"That hurt me a lot, Naruto-kun. Aren't you going to share your goodies with your dear Akeno-chan?" She asked in a faux hurt tone.

"Hmm, no," said Naruto with a straight face.

"Ah. What a pity. By the way, what did you and Beelzebub-sama talk about?"

"Well, this and that an-"

"And how to go on a date with Grayfia," she said with a teasing smirk.

"Yes and about my Evil Pieces," said Naruto as if he was not interrupted and was not scared of going on a date with Grayfia. Akeno missed her step when Naruto agreed to her casually.

"Careful, Akeno-chan. I don't want to answer Rias why you fell," said Naruto, not continuing anymore and catching her from falling. That has two meanings to it and Akeno didn't grasp the second one.

"Ufufufufu, yes. I don't want you to" she said and ushered Naruto closer, "or else, she'll be jealous of me" she whispered into his ear. Naruto smirked at that.

"So I have heard," he agreed. They reached the ORC building and Naruto started acting normally while Akeno felt an increase in magic in the area.

'He stopped suppressing it seems' she thought.

'Ah, the delicious magic of Dragons' she thought to herself, licking her lips.

"Damn, Naruto. This girl has more screws loose than that silver bat" said Kurama.

'Is it. What do you think she is going to do if I agree?' Asked the Clone curiously.

"I'm damn sure that she'll give you a good S&M session," said Kurama, smirking like a fox.

'I thought so. But she is young. I'll let her mature more. She might be good looking, but she is still not up to the mark,' said Clone Naruto.

"Hmm, yes. That is true. She reminds me so much of that snake woman" said Kurama, remembering Anko.

'Yes. They both have some similarities I guess,' agreed Naruto.

'It seems I reached the ORC room, Kurama. Tell this to the original if he opens the connection again,' said the Clone and Kurama nodded.

"Come in," heard Naruto. He and Akeno entered the ORC room. Inside the room was usual members of ORC and Student Council but the setup was different

Rias was in her chair, Sona was on a couch to the right with Tsubaki standing behind and an empty couch was given to Naruto to sit on.

Naruto walked and sat on the couch opposite Sona like a noble, which was not expected by the 2 Devil heiresses.

"Where is Reni?" asked Sona and before he could answer, in an orange magic circle, Reni appeared behind Naruto.

"I told you to continue their practice, not to 'test' them and come here," said Naruto.

"Oops. Well, I thought this was a formality" said Reni sheepishly with a wide smile.

"Yea, right"

"Ok, let's get on with our meeting," said Sona in a stern tone.

"Yes. We met here to discuss a few things. Akeno, if you please," said Rias, handing a paper to Akeno.

"Yes, Prez. The topics of discussion are as follows. First is about Sunday sparring match, second is about Familiars and lastly, the discussion of the plan of action in case of emergencies" read Akeno.

"As for the spar on Sunday, I'm ok with it. I'll bring Reni with me and we'll see whom to fight" said Naruto.

"Agreed. I suggest we fight you" suggested Sona with a calculating look.

"Yes. We don't know your strengths and we should make it our priority. Is it ok for you to spar with us?" Asked Rias with a dazzling smile.

"Yes. I'm ok with it. But if you lose, then I'm not going to fight you till our 2nd year" said Naruto in a confident tone with a smirk. Sona and Rias narrowed their eyes at Naruto.

'Is he thinking he is stronger than us combined?' Thought Sona.

'How arrogant. I'll show him what I'm made off' thought Rias with determination.

"We agree to that. About the matter of Familiars, do you know what they are?" Asked Sona. Naruto had a good idea but decided to entertain them. He nodded in denial.

"Familiars are monsters and supernatural beings magically bound to a Devil as a servant or ally.

Familiars are considered as a basic requirement for Devils. They could assist their masters in various tasks, be used for information gathering and relaying messages, as well as perform any other odd jobs that their masters could think of. Devils may also possess more than one familiar. Familiars have different abilities depending on their species.

On the night of a Full Moon, we have to go to a special forest and, with the guidance of a Familiar Master, capture and bind a familiar we find. Here are our familiars" said Sona and summoned their familiars.

Naruto found them to be of different species and some of them are cute.

'Hmm, interesting. If I remember correctly, Tiamat, one of the 5 Great Dragon Kings, is also one of the available Familiars and a strong one. I should think about it I guess,' thought Naruto.

"Hahahaha" he heard Kurama's laughter.

'What is it, Kurama?"

"Well, from the memories of Skiadrum, he and Tiamat used to have a good relationship. I don't know about making her Jiraiya's familiar, I'm sure she'll be happier to be with you"

'On the flip side, she might be angry at me for having her Skiadrum as well,'' said Naruto.

"Hmm, yes. That's a likely possibility as well. But be careful near her. All these bats and crows might not be able to differentiate you from Jiraiya, but Dragon's have a very good sense of smell. When you go to her, erase your smell, ok?" said Kurama.

'Yes, I'll keep that in mind' said Naruto.

"Reni-chan, do you want a Familiar?"

"Well, yes. It would be good to have one of those" said Reni with a fond smile.

"Well, we'll go when the next full moon presents," said Naruto.

"Yes, I'll tell you how to go. Moving on to our next topic" said Rias not waiting for any objections to be raised.

"In case of emergencies, as in if the town is at danger or a strong threat to us, what will you do?" asked Sona inquisitively.

"My role as a Kuoh overseer is a secret and I like to keep it like that. By adding me into your ranks openly in such a public gathering has exposed me to the Supernatural world out of blue.

If I'm correct, some had already painted a target on my head. I don't know who will be after me and what abilities they have and am not scared of them.

But I'm not going to expose you to that threat as well. I'll stay low until such an emergency arises and once it comes to that, I'll take care of it. I promise I'll be diligent in my duties as Kuoh overseer.

In case you want my help, you can ask. For example, take Sona-chan's case. She wants me to teach her chess and I agreed. I'm more than happy to help you.

However, I'm not going to involve myself in every petty squabble. I'll only get involved if the threat level is SS-Class or higher. Hope you can understand" said Naruto seriously.

The intention was clear. Naruto is not going to be involved in their affairs. That point was very clear.

"Ok, we agree to that," said Sona and Rias after some discussion. Naruto nodded and they continued their discussion in other matters.

Unknown Location

We see a half-naked Katerea in the hands of Naruto (cough) (cough) Jiraiya with a peaceful expression. Katerea had very passionate and sinful days with Jiraiya.

The experience can be called the epitome of pleasure. No one came close to the experience she had here and she felt an intense longing for this pleasure and the person who gave it.

It's had been 4 days since they started their blissful session and she couldn't last any longer and so they were relaxing with a beautiful view of the sky and stars.

"Raiya-kun, I have a request to make," said Katerea slowly and cautiously. Though the subject is very sensitive, she thought of disclosing it slowly. She doesn't want such a wonderful man angry at her after all.

"You can ask me, Katty-chan," said Jiraiya with a smile. He changed her perspective of him. She thought him to be a perverted old idiot who tricked those filthy scum into doing his bidding.

But she was wrong. Though she had lust for him and wanted to experience him in all his glory, she didn't expect him to be such a gentle and caring man. This only attracted her more to him.

"I don't know how to start, but I am from the Old Satan faction," she said and closed her eyes for any harsh remarks and fear of harsh expression on his face. She doesn't want to see him angry at her. She can't imagine that. That is how far this man came to her heart in 4 days.

"And" prodded Jiraiya, without making any remarks or using any magic to restrain her.

"Um, my name is Katerea Leviathan, descendent of Original Leviathan. I also one of the generals who participated in the Devil Civil war and lost" she stopped there as if reminiscing a bad memory.

Jiraiya put his hands on her shoulders and squeezed them. This managed to soothe her and she continued again.

"After we lost, we were cast off Hell and are living in hiding. I don't want to tell you this, but you made me so comfortable with you, that I couldn't resist" said Katerea. Now that most of the beans were spilled, she is waiting for his response.

"So what can I do for you? I'm here on business with my lovely customer and am duty-bound to do what you want. But if that wish is against my codes, I simply won't do it. You told me you have a request, tell me, what do you want from me" said Jiraiya, still with a smile on his face.

"Ah, I want you to join me and be part of the Old Satan Faction" she yelled out in hurry. She couldn't believe that the Great Katerea Leviathan, Blood Descendant of Original Leviathan, Ruler of Hell has become such a mess with her emotions haywire and her heart pounding.

She couldn't blame the man in front of her. He did what he usually does. Give joy and happiness to his customers as he said. His books were not only perverse and suitable for perverts, but they also had good humour.

They just make the reader happy. They did that to her. She liked them a lot and are a great influence on this event.

In 4 days, he crossed so many bridges and barriers that no one in centuries couldn't cross. He made her like the blubbering mess she was right now.

She still waited for his response. He just stared at her, without any malice or bloodlust. The idea may be outrageous to someone who just got reincarnated to a Human-Devil hybrid and had the capacity to further advance in the Ranks of the Devil society with his mind.

But for the life of her, she couldn't sense any bloodlust or malice in his dark eyes. They drew her closer even more than before as if mesmerising her.

For Jiraiya (Naruto), he didn't expect her to be like this. She was like a baby in a candy store seeking all the candies attention onto her.

She was lonely for soo long that she couldn't recognise it. Jiraiya can see it. She is happy for the 4 days they spent together and though he expected nothing less from a woman who spent time with him, she is different.

He saw a dramatic change in her. He heard of Old Satan faction leaders from Ajuka and other Devils often. They were always portrayed as beings of evil, wicked, brutal, bad, scum, wrong, brutes, as well as vicious, and it is also understood that these Devils want to kill every single person they don’t like.

But the woman in front of me was different. She is trying her best to make him follow her or at least change to her side with so much effort.

'Did she get changed so much by me in 4 days that she couldn't ask for it with a straight face?' Thought Jiraiya.

'Wow. I didn't expect this. But this makes my plan easy. But I'm not going to tell her completely about it and allow suspicion to arise among the ranks of the Old Satan Faction' thought Jiraiya.

"Hahaha. You are a very beautiful and strong young woman, Katty-chan. I can understand what you are asking and know that you know full well what my position in Devil society is" he responded in a calm tone. He gauged her reaction and saw her eyes drop in disappointment.

'Is this girl for real? It's not like I charmed her or something and I am willing to manipulate her with my powers if it comes to that, but she did a complete 180 on me with her soft and caring attitude.

I must be so loving towards her without any expectations or other motives, she just fell for it. Poor girl. I know and experienced that I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but damn, this is totally out of syllabus' thought Jiraiya. He thought and decided what to reply to Katerea.

"But my answer, for now, doesn't matter. I'm not going to send my client with a sour face to their daily life when they spend time with me. So let's leave it for now. We'll discuss it later" said Jiraiya, not wanting to spoil the mood and Katerea nodded in understanding.

She can understand why he is avoiding it. It's not like her offer is not tempting or something. He just decided to deal with it later. And so they spent more time knowing each other and swimming in the land of pleasures for the next 3 days.

Meanwhile, Somewhere in Astaroth Territory, Underworld

A man was seen sitting on a throne like structure. He was a gentle-looking, handsome young man with dark green hair and golden eyes, with the features of an aristocrat. He wore a pale brown shirt with deep white edges to them with a white fur collar and a white cape hanging from them. He also wore green pants with chains wrapping around them. He has eyes closed or squinted. This is Diodora Astaroth, Heir to the House of Astaroth which holds the rank of Duke in Devil Hierarchy.

He sat in a chair that resembled a throne and a man was seen bowing beside him. He is wearing a black pinstripe suit. Inside the suit, he wore a white dress shirt along with a gold tie and on close observation, they can be related to that of a priest's clothes. He also wore black-framed glasses with brown eyes and a thin frame.

"Tell me, Cheado, did you find anyone suitable for me?" Asked Diodora in a calm and pleasant tone.

"Unfortunately, not, my lord. I have been keeping tabs and will find someone soon" said Cheado in a nervous tone.

"Now, now. Don't be nervous. I'm not pressuring or anything. I will give you all the time you want, in the meantime, can you find me some information about this one" said Diodora and an image was projected into the air with the help of a Magic Circle.

She is a beautiful young girl in her late teens with long flowing blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes. She appears to wear standard Magician robes with a hood down and smiling towards the camera. By the look of her clothes, Cheado could know which organisation she belonged to.

"Y-yes. She belongs to the Grey wizards. But why the sudden interest in her? I thought you were only interested in Nuns and Holy-Maidens" asked Cheado in confusion.

"Hahahahaha. Yes, you are right. But I just thought of this just for a change. Her last seen location is in Kuoh Town. Go fetch details on her. Be careful, I know the Gremory were kind, but I don't know what she'll do when she finds who sent you" said Diodora.

"Y-yes, of course. I'll take care of it" said Cheado. He knew well what would happen if he was found and his life is at risk, but he agreed.

'Soon, when I get my hands on you. Oh, the look of despair, hurt and loneliness you feel' thought Diodora. Not knowing about the danger he put himself by just making this decision and deciding to go after the girl named Lavinia Reni.

And Cut.

That’s it for this chapter folks. Hope you like it.
