A/n: In this chapter, we will be given small glances at the rest of Naruto's future peerage. And maybe even have some of them recruited. And we'll even get a glance into Naruto's past. Miyuki, be a dear.

Miyuki: The Author owns nothing. Naruto, Bleach and Highschool dxd are all owned by their respective creators.

A/n: You heard her. Let's go.

(Ranbu No Melody)

(Berseria cliffside, 6 am)

Naruto was currently sitting on the edge of a cliff with a large drop into the roaring ocean below. The water thrashed against the rocks before throwing it up. He sat there as he stared off into the distance. Wanting to catch the beauty of when dawn finally broke with his own eyes. His right eye had a special ability in which whatever it had seen, would never be forgotten.

'What this eye sees will forever be trapped within the sight of this eye.' He thought to himself as he looked to his blade which layed upon the grass next to him. 'But, what this eye cannot see, does not exist to me.' He continued as he thought back on his past.

His time in the orphanage, to the reason behind him leaving and the one thing he would always remember. His mothers words to him and the emotions within her eyes when she said it.

(Small Flashback)

Naruto, at the age of ten, was currently walking away from the Orphanage which he called home before he heard something that made him stop. Turning, his eyes widened as the nun who was basically a mother to him stood at the entrance. A bandage over her right eye as tears fell from the left. He looked away slightly before she walked over to him. When she stood in front of him, she brought him into a hug. One filled with the love of a mother, something he wanted for all his life.

"It's not your fault." She said as he looked into her one brown eye.

"But-" he tried to protest only to be cut off.

"But nothing, you did nothing wrong. You protected your mother, and I couldn't be more proud of you." She said as a tear formed in Naruto's blue eye. "There we go." She said before holding him tighter. "Your only human dear, things like this will happen. It's how the world works, but I know that you will come out of it a stronger man." She said as he nodded as the tear trailed down the right side of his face.

"I will. I will become as strong as possible in order to keep you safe." He said as he returned the hug.

"I know you will. You my child after all. I will always love you, no matter what. Naruto." She said as his eyes widened even more before he smiled.

"I love you too...Kaa-chan." He said before they broke they hug and he walked off.

(Flashback end)

'I know the true love of a mother, the pain of betrayal. The sting of death. And the need to protect. All of these things I have experienced, all of them I know.' He thought to himself as he stood to his feet. 'I also know the truth. Despair is nothing, I will overcome my curse. And I will become stronger because of it.' He thought with determination in his eyes as Murcielago heard his thoughts.

'You can do it partner. Don't let it control your life, your life is yours to control.' Murcielago thought as he trusted his partner.

Looking towards the distance once more, Naruto allowed a smile to come across his face as he thought on his current peerage members. Turning away from the cliff, he started walking away. Though he stopped and watched as he saw the sun rising in the distance.

'Everyone, once I gather my peerage, I will return. Xenovia, should we meet again, I hope you can understand.' He thought to himself before returning to his home.

(Meanwhile)

The clanging of blades could be heard as a blue haired teen with a green fringe battle a older man. In her hands was a large sword. One of the holy weapons of the church. Excalibur destruction. She was panting as the man sheathed the two blades he was using.

"Time we take a break." He said with an Irish as she looked annoyed.

"I can't take anymore breaks. I must get stronger." She said as the man smiled.

"For the boy isn't lass?" He asked smiling.

The girl looked away with a small blush on her face.

"Aye lass, it's good your trying to get stronger for someone else's sake, but what will you do when you find the boy. You know what happened to him." The man said as she nodded.

"I remember you telling me. He was thrown out for false accusations." She said gripping her blade tightly.

"Aye, a lie it was." He said as she glared at him.

"You lied." She said glaring at him.

"To keep you safe. If you had known then you would've gone out of your way to attack the people who got rid of him." He said as she looked away. "When we found out, you let your anger control your actions." He said as she started glaring at the ground.

"And what was I supposed to do!?" She shouted as she stared at the priest. "Tell me Father Anderson!" She screamed as the man, Anderson sighed.

"Have patience and get stronger. I know how your feeling Lass, I quite enjoyed the young lad when I first met him." He said remembering the blonde boy he grew attached to.

"How much more training do I need to do?" She asked.

"Not much more. Your doing quite well as you are now. No doubt you and Irina will be sent to investigate Kuoh." He said as she raised a brow.

"Why is that?" She asked as he gave her a confused look.

"Have you not heard that the Excalibur fragments have been stolen?" He asked as she looked away embarrassed. "What goes on inside that head of yours?" He asked as she blushed.

"Girl stuff." She replied as he nodded.

"Right. Anyway, time for you to rest, then I'll explain the reason you are going to Kuoh soon. And listen this time Xenovia." He said as she nodded.

The blue haired girl walked over to stand next to the blonde haired priest as he patted her on her head.

"You've improved since you first day here. Naruto would be proud." Anderson told her as she smiled.

"When I see him, I'm gonna make him pay for making me worry." She said.

Anderson only laughed as he continued to walk away with Xenovia following.

(Back with Naruto)

Naruto was currently walking around Abel looking for something to make his small group when he heard a cough come from behind him. Turning around, he pointed a finger towards the person only to see Esdeath and Kurome. Both having bandages covering some of their body. Lowering his finger he watched as they walked closer till they stood by his side.

"I thought we were to meet at your place." Kurome said as she looked towards Naruto.

"We will. I just need to grab some things for my peerage." He said as they stopped at a vendor and he grabbed a spring onion.

"You cook for your peerage?" She asked as Naruto nodded.

"Yep. My Queen is a cook as well. She makes a decent scone that's for sure." He said before grabbing some flour.

"That's good. I like eating food." She said as she pulled out a bag and started snacking on biscuits.

Once Naruto was done, he returned to his home with Esdeath following a smile on her face while Kurome was eating her biscuits. He opened the door and walked into the kitchen and placed the food down. Once he had done that, he walked into the living room to find Velvet glaring at Esdeath as Miyuki was within her lap. Ravel sat next to her, ready to step in and protect her.

He walked over before he sat down in between them. Turning to Velvet, he nodded slightly as her glare lessened but still remained.

"Esdeath, what can you tell us of the Fallen angels that are based here?" He asked as he glanced at her.

"Nothing much unfortunately, just that they are up at the church. And there is only one fallen Angel. He has a few corrupt priests with him but other than that it won't be too hard to take them down." She said as Naruto closed his eyes thinking it over.

"So what? If they wanted Miyuki, they should've tried taking her. I've been getting hungry lately." Velvet said as the glare was still in place.

"Calm down Velvet. We will handle them soon." Naruto said calmly as Velvet's glare was turned to him.

"How can you tell me to calm down when those people sitting in front of me tried kidnapping my daughter?" Velvet asked enraged as Naruto glanced at her.

"They were simply following their contract. As such they are not to blame." Naruto said as Ravel gave him a look.

Turning to his bishop, he nodded slightly as Ravel walked off as Naruto turned back towards Esdeath and Kurome.

"For tonight you will be on our side. Acting as a double agent. You return back to the church while the three of us follow and when the Fallen least expects it. We ambush him." Naruto suggested as Ravel returned with a chess set.

Esdeath looked towards Naruto who simply gave her a blank stare while Kurome raised a brow in confusion. Velvet looked towards the pieces before she rounded on Naruto.

"You can't be serious?" She asked as Naruto sighed.

"Completely. With Esdeath's abilities with her rapier and her Ice magic. I think she would be a good Rook. She has the speed and she does tend to fight in close combat. Where as Kurome would be a decent pawn. She managed to cut through my Hierro and cut my arm off. That speaks wonders of her abilities." Naruto explained as Velvet's glare lightened.

"You better know what your doing." She said as Naruto nodded.

"Don't worry about it, if they try anything, I will show them my power." He said as he glared at Esdeath and Kurome.

Kurome was taken back by the glare Naruto sent in their direction. Not expecting someone who seemed to have no emotions suddenly give her a glare filled with hatred. She could just feel the power that he hid away. As though she was being forced beneath the waves of the ocean itself.

Esdeath however smiled at the fact that Naruto didn't lie about his intentions should they betray him. Nodding she looked towards him before she turned her attention to Velvet.

"You have nothing to worry about Velvet-san. We will do nothing to your daughter. But we do have one condition." She said as her smile widened.

"And that condition is?" Velvet asked as Ravel placed the set down in front of them.

"We join your peerage. We are getting quite tired of running around and taking the random odd jobs. So maybe having joining a peerage will give us a place to properly calm home." She said as Velvet turned to Naruto.

"What do you think?" Velvet asked as Naruto closed his eyes in thought.

Thinking it over, he opened his eyes and turned his attention back to Esdeath and Kurome.

"I'll consider it. But, I will properly decide after we take out the Fallen here. Besides, it gives me time to see if your worth it or not." He said as he stood to his feet. "I know about your skill with a Rapier and your ability to control ice. It could be very handy in certain situations." He said before he turned to look at Kurome. "While I know nothing about you Kurome-san." He said as Kurome nodded.

"My blade is my representative of my Sacred Gear." She said as Naruto raised a brow.

"And is there anything else?" He asked as she nodded.

"That aura that appeared around me when I cut off your arm is thanks to it." She continued while munching on a cookie. "You'll find out more tonight." She finished as Naruto nodded.

"Alright then." He said simply before looking towards Velvet. "They are on our side now. You don't have to trust them yet." He said as he walked into the kitchen with Velvet staring at Esdeath and Kurome.

"You cross us, I will not hesitate to eat you." She said before standing up and walking off.

"She's not serious right?" Kurome asked slightly scared.

"Who knows Kurome-chan. All I know is that hell have no fury like a angry mother." Esdeath said laughing slightly as Miyuki was peeking at them from around the corner.

Esdeath saw her before she put a gentle smile on her face before she walked over and knelt down.

"Your the mean lady from the other day." She said as Esdeath's smile disappeared. "Are you here to take me away from mama and papa?" Miyuki asked as it seemed like she was ready to run.

"No young one. I'm not gonna break up your family. In fact, I wanna join it and keep you safe." Esdeath explained as her smile returned.

Miyuki still looked suspicious of her before she backed away slightly.

"How can I know your not lying?" Miyuki asked as Naruto appeared behind her.

"Because if she is lying, papa is gonna be annoyed." He said as Miyuki ran and hid behind his leg as a frown was locked on his face.

"Oh, I haven't seen you annoyed?" Esdeath asked teasing him.

"My tolerance is very high, but it can only be pushed so far." He answered. "Move into the kitchen, I've made lunch." He said before picking Miyuki up and walked to the kitchen as Esdeath followed him after letting Kurome know.

Once they entered the dining room, they saw a large table located in the middle of the room. Looking around Esdeath saw a rune on the wall. Raising a brow she walked and inspected it while Kurome made her way to the table. Ravel noticed that Esdeath's attention was on the rune smiled smugly.

"Impressed?" She asked with a tone filled with smugness.

"Very, I didn't think anyone in this bunch of misfits knew how to use runes to manipulate the space of an area." She said as Ravel looked shocked.

"How did you?" She tried to ask only for Esdeath to smile.

"Know about the rune?" Esdeath asked rhetorically. "Your not the first person I've encountered that uses them." She said as Ravel looked down.

"Don't worry about it Ravel, your still very useful." Naruto said as he placed Miyuki down on a chair before Velvet walked in with bowels of food.

"Yea, you have a certain charm about you that we enjoy. Plus you have your fire abilities and your experience from your previous peerage." She said as Ravel felt her ego swell.

"Well then, I guess you are right. I am a pretty awesome piece in this peerage." She said as Naruto let a smile grace his features.

"There's the tsundere of the peerage." He said jokingly as Ravel blushed.

"Quiet baka!" She screamed as Velvet laughed.

Esdeath smiled at the interactions of what seemed to be a family instead of a high class devil and his peerage. Looking towards Kurome, she saw a smile on the girls face as she stared at the group. Once all the food had been eaten and the dishes had been cleaned, Naruto had just put Miyuki to bed before he felt a magic circle appear behind him. Gathering his energy to his hand, it formed his usual javelin as he stood ready in case they were going to attack him. Turning slightly he saw his king standing there with her usual blank façade. His javelin disappeared as Miyuki opened an eye to see Grayfia there.

'Who is that woman?' She thought as Naruto bowed.

"What are you doing here Grayfia-sama?" He asked as Grayfia's blank expression disappeared and was replaced with a small smile.

"I came to visit my only piece and I find him putting a little girl to sleep." She said as Naruto looked towards Miyuki slightly.

"Grayfia-sama, I have a favour to ask you." Naruto said as she raised a brow.

"What is it?" She questioned as Naruto's gaze was locked onto Miyuki.

"My peerage and a potential two others are going to be investigating the nearby church to clear it of the Fallen inhabiting it." He explained as she nodded slightly. "I feel as though they might attempt some form of underhanded tactics and try and get Miyuki while I am gone. So please look after her until we returned." He finished with a bow as Grayfia closed her eyes in thought.

"I will do it. Just try and come back safe." She said as Naruto nodded before he walked out of the room.

"Don't worry about me." He said as he closed the door before he left the house.

Once outside, he found his peerage standing in front of the door waiting for him, all ready for battle. Reaching a hand out, his sword appeared as he walked in front of them all before he glanced at Esdeath.

"Lead the way." He said as Esdeath walked ahead with Kurome at her side.

Looking towards Velvet and Ravel, he nodded before following after the others with his Queen and Bishop following him.

Eventually after a long walk out of town. Naruto and his group found themselves standing outside of a church. Looking at his group, he raised his right hand as a red static ring appeared around it before the door was blown away. Lowering his hand, he walked into the church with his group following. When they entered it, they found someone standing in the middle of the church looking at a broken glass window with a picture of Jesus on it. (Don't know what they are called really)

"My my, it has been some time since I last saw you boy." The fallen said as he turned around showing a fierce glare. He had a red and black eye for his right and a blue and black eye for his right. (The black part is the whites of his eyes) Short, spikey grey hair was atop his head as Naruto slightly unsheathed his blade.

"Uruse, bakemono." Naruto said as the fallen laughed. (Quiet, monster)

"Is that really anyway to treat me after not seeing me for so long?" He asked teasingly as Naruto pulled his sword out completely.

"You ruined my life. Separated me from my mother." Naruto said as a glare appeared on his face. "You hurt her." He finished as his energy started leaking out.

"Oh yes the blonde bimbo." He said ignoring the boys glare. "How is the bitch now?" He asked laughing. "Enjoying the facial makeover I gave her." He continued as Naruto lowered his sword.

"She's fine. Nothing I couldn't fix." He answered simply before he noticed that they were surrounded.

"Not like it matters. I think once I'm done here, I'll pay your home a little visit and finish what I started back then." He said licking his lips as his eyes landed on Velvet and Ravel. "After savouring these delightful treats thoroughly." He ended as Ravel shivered and covered herself while Velvet only glared at him.

No one noticed Naruto's grip on his blade tighten to the point where blood started to leak from his hand. Though the grip loosened as he raised his blade once again.

"I'll make you regret everything you've ever done." He stated as the fallen only laughed.

"You'll make me regret everything I've done? Don't make me laugh boy. I am the Fallen Angel Ornias. You can't defeat me." He said as Naruto's energy flooded the room.

"Tozase, Murcielago." His voiced echoed out as Ornias backed away slightly in fear when the energy disappeared.

"What the hell is that form?" He asked as Naruto's skin peeled slightly as his eyes changed to their golden colour.

"This is the power of my Sacred gear. But your about to see more of it. This is for my mother." Naruto said as a glare appeared fiercer than before, as he was covered in his energy again.

Esdeath and the others, bar Ravel, were shocked when it faded leaving Naruto in his Balance Breaker.

"I will admit." He started as his wings stretched out completely. "Your the first person to actually make me angry." Naruto explained as he disappeared and reappeared behind Ornias with one of his wings curled.

It flung it fiercely and sent Ornias outside as he simply stood on the air as it was a proper platform. Turning his attention to his group as the moon was behind him. He gave them a blank stare as it unnerved others while Velvet understood what was being said.

Her left arm unwrapped itself as she turned to one of Ornias's followers.

"Your gonna pay for trying to take my daughter away." She growled before charging them as Ravel's wings appeared as fire burned in her hands.

"I got your back Velvet." She said as she blasted a couple of runners with fire balls reducing them to ash.

Naruto stared at the two of them before his attention went towards Ornias who had just flown back into the church. His three sets of wings fully on display.

Esdeath watched as they stared each other before what looked like a light spear appeared in Naruto's hand.

"By my word, you will die here." He said before Ornias charged him with a light spear of his own.

She turned her attention to Kurome who was watching as Velvet tore throw Ornias' followers like they were nothing while Ravel covered her.

"Shall we help our new friend Kurome-chan?" Esdeath asked as she pulled out her rapier.

Kurome unsheathed her sword and pointed it the sky as she turned to the closest set of followers.

"Your all gonna make some fine toys for me." She said before rushing them with Esdeath following her.

Meanwhile, Naruto was watching her them out of the corner of his eye before he turned his attention back to the fallen in front of him. Ornias came rushing towards him wildly swinging his spear. Naruto scoffed before he disappeared using Sonido. Ornias stopped only to spin around as Naruto's wing flung him away yet again. Where Ornias flew from the attack, Naruto would be waiting with his wing folded again just to bat him away and do it all over again. Eventually he got bored and swung upwards sending Ornias to the sky before he appeared above him.

Ornias opened his eyes the pain from being used as a pinball stopped only to see Naruto above him a finger aimed towards him.

"Die. Cero Oscuras." Naruto said before Ornias was enveloped in his attack.

The attack struck the ground as the remaing followers were cornered by a very pissed off Velvet. She raised her demonic hand and swung as hard as she could tearing the throats of them out as she calmed down. Licking the blood that landed near her mouth, she looked towards the crater formed from Ornias' body as Naruto lowered himself to the ground.

Ornias stood to his feet and tried to form another light spear only for Naruto to be standing next to him holding his wrists.

"You can't win against me." He said before he broke both of Ornias' wrists.

"Let me tell you something Ornias, the moment I looked at you, I knew I was gonna win." Naruto said as Ornias glared at him.

"And how do you know that scum!?" Ornias screamed enraged at the young boy.

"Because I couldn't see myself losing to such a pathetic being like yourself." Naruto said as he returned to normal and turned around with his hands in his pockets. "Whatever this eye can see, is forever trapped within it's sight. I saw the real you that day and I knew I would need to get rid of you in the future." Naruto said taking a slight pause. "But what this eye of mine cannot see, simply does not exist." He finished as Ornias' glare only increased.

"I'll kill you! Once my arms heal, I'll slaughter you and rape all those close to you! Especially the blue haired girl Xenovia!" He screamed with a deranged smiled as Naruto turned to him with a blank expression.

"What was that?" Naruto asked as no one saw the true emotion behind his emotionless mask.

"You heard me! Maybe I'll even take your dear mother! You stopped me before I could continue so maybe I will finish the job!" He screamed again as drool ran down his chin.

Naruto faced him completely as he walked towards Ornias and stood in front of him before raising his hand. Energy violently gathered within the palm of his hand as Velvets demonic arm glowed slightly. Red lighting sparked lightly as a black orb with a red core formed within Naruto's hand.

"This is for everything you have done to me. To my mother." He said pulling his arm back. "Farewell, monster." Naruto continued throwing his arm forward as the attack collided with Ornias' face. "Saigai Rasengan!" He shouted as the orb exploded sending rubble everywhere. (Calamity Rasengan)

The area in front of Naruto was completely destroyed, and Ornias had been reduced to nothing. The power of the attack combined with it's explosive nature due to Naruto's lack of concentration made the attack very devastating.

Though it did have a backlash. Naruto's arm that held the attack suffered. Skin had been peeled away and rotation burns continued further up his arm. But his hand and wrist were missing, the power behind the attack seemed to have affected himself and caused his hand to be destroyed in the process.

He backed away as his regeneration kicked in. The damage to his skin being taken care off until his hand and wrist grew back. Once that was done, Velvet's arm stopped glowing as Naruto stared at the crater in the middle of the church.

'Mother...thank you for giving me strength.' He thought to himself as a smile came across his face.

Turning to Esdeath and Kurome, he gave them a blank stare as Esdeath gave him a smile.

"We were meant to ambush him. And yet he knew of our arrival and had his men ready to surround us." Naruto started slowly. "Did you let him know that we were coming?" He asked calmly as Velvet turned to the two with a glare.

"Yes. I did." Esdeath said her smile still present.

"You bitch!" Velvet screamed as Naruto stepped forward.

"Why did you let him know we were coming?" Naruto asked confused.

"When we fought before, I could tell that you were holding back. You had multiple chances to kill me and your speed aided you in that little factor as well." She started shrugging slightly. "So I knew that you could kill him no matter what." She finished as Naruto looked at the crater.

"Thank you then." Naruto said confusing everyone. "I find it strange how he didn't transform or have any other way to defend himself. But still, thanks to you, I was able to clear my head and deal with some old problems." He said as he closed his eyes.

Though something strange occurred. When his eyes were closed, he found himself staring at a picture of him and Xenovia. He watched as a feminine hand traced his face before his vision faded away. Opening his eyes, he placed his hand over his left eye. His face showed confusion before he wrote it off as nothing.

"Let's go home. I can preform the ceremony. Though, if you betray my trust again Esdeath." He trailed off as he pointed a finger towards her. "You'll suffer the same fate as Ornias. I wish for my peerage to trust one another, not have to watch out in case they will be stabbed in the back." He continued as Esdeath nodded.

"Don't worry, I won't betray your trust again. If something comes up, I will talk with you and your Queen." She said smiling as Naruto nodded.

"What about you Kurome?" Naruto asked.

"Meh, where Esdeath goes I go. So let's do this Naruto-sama." She said shrugging as Naruto nodded.

He turned to face the door and walked on ahead. Velvet sent a glare towards them while Ravel simply followed after her King. Esdeath followed after them shortly as Kurome fell into pace behind them.

They eventually arrived at Naruto's house to find Grayfia sitting on a couch with Miyuki sleeping in her lap.

"Who are you?" Velvet asked as Grayfia turned to their group.

"So this is your peerage. I am quite impressed." She said smiling as Naruto nodded.

"Thank you Grayfia-sama." Naruto said bowing as Velvet turned to him.

"Who is this Naruto?" Velvet asked confused and slightly worried for Miyuki.

"She's Grayfia Lucifuge. I represent her Queen within her peerage." He explained as Velvet looked at her.

"I must thank you for looking after Naruto, he seems to have changed slightly." She commented smiling.

"In what way?" Naruto asked confused.

"Your emotions are showing more. Your dropping the mask you've hidden behind for so long." She said as his eyes widened.

"How long have you known?" He asked, shocked at how she knew about his mask.

"Since I first met you. You may be able to hide the emotions on your face, but not in your eyes." She said as Velvet nodded.

"She's right you know." She said as Naruto turned to her. "You tend to keep an emotionless face most of the time but your eyes always showed the emotion." She finished as Naruto sighed.

"You guys are the few to see through that thing." He said with his eyes closed. "Moving on, what do you need Grayfia-sama?" He asked opening his eyes.

"There seems to be a problem with the Vampire's and the Youkai. They came to us devils asking for help. The vampire's that is." She said calmly Naruto nodded.

"Strange, I thought Vampire's liked dealing with there problems by themselves." Esdeath said as Velvet thumbed her chin in thought.

"They must have asked for our help seeing as we are neutral in the situation. That way we won't be biased for anything." Velvet theorised as Grayfia nodded.

"Smart group. Yes, the Vampire's wanted the devils there as a neutral party." Grayfia said as Naruto nodded.

"So you wanted me and my peerage to go and represent the devils." Naruto said as Grayfia nodded.

"Correct. You will be there to find out what happened and try and get both sides compromise, without ant casualties." She said as Naruto nodded.

"Alright then. My guess is that you'll bring us to the Vampire's tomorrow." Naruto stated instead of asking.

"That is correct." Grayfia said as she picked Miyuki up.

"What are you doing?" Velvet asked.

"I'm going to put Miyuki into her bed and then return to my home. Don't worry Velvet, I wouldn't bring harm to my Queen's peerage." She said before walking off.

"Well, guess I should turn you two into devils. Though, we will need a bigger house soon." He said as he brought out his Mutated Rook and two of his pawns.

(End)

So I will end this here. I know it's smaller than usual but, I feel as though I could do better if I did shorter chapters for this story. Now for some who may be confused with the conversation between Esdeath and Naruto. First was Naruto having an a ideal thought with Esdeath and Kurome placement. The second part was Esdeath telling him she wanted to be part of the peerage. Sorry if that part was confusing. Anyway, hope you enjoy, later.
