"Well, we're just working on our teamwork, trying to improve our strengths and cover our weaknesses, you know, the usual." Naruto's normal reply made Sirzechs silently sigh in relief as he didn't think Naruto was going get him for the ramen issue.
"Oh, I'm also doing 'stealth' training with some of the girls.
Or not.
When Sirzechs finally turned around to face Naruto, his fears were all but confirmed by the look on Naruto's face. Desperate and in denial he asked, "Naruto, why do you have the 'I'm going to prank Sirzechs so hard that he won't be able to show his face to the public' look on your face, Naruto, Naruto…?
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked seemingly clueless, walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry Sirzechs, I'm sure that 'nothing' bad is going to happen to you. Anyways, I got to go, goodnight Sirzechs."
After saying that, Naruto went on his merry way humming a jaunty tune and leaving behind a certain Satan Red frozen in dread.
(Flashback End.)
Last he heard, Sirzechs was still hiding in his room with his hair coloured bright pink and going to the toilet every ten minutes caused by the laxative put in his drink or should he rather say, the whole bottle. All the while having nightmares about the deadly combination of tar, rubber ducks and feathers used against him.
The twins immediately proclaimed that Naruto was the best master they ever had when they saw the aftermath of their pran…Stealth lessons. This didn't mean much, considering that their only previous master was Riser and he was a major jerk but he took what he could get.
In fact, they were so inspired by his skill in 'stealth' that they were now recruiting the other members of the Peerage to join in. The ones who were most interested were the flaming chainsaw wielding twins, Ile and Nel.
He convinced them to train in other methods of close combat aside from their chainsaws because while they were great as intimidation against weak opponents, the flaming chainsaws were next to useless against a strong foe.
At first they resisted separating with their beloved chainsaws but eventually relented when Naruto dodged all their attacks for a better part of an hour with his hands inside his pockets.
He became fast friends with Karlamine as they both had a cheerful personality and cared for their comrades. However, she did have one quirk though, she was bluntly speaking, a sword maniac. If one was unfortunate enough to mention something remotely related to swords in her presence, she would literally talk about them for hours on end.
One such unlucky victim was Kiba, who was subjected to a 3 hour long talk that was only interrupted because both Rias and Naruto intervened on behalf of Kiba's sanity. Siris, the other sword wielding member, had a personality much like Koneko to Naruto's surprise. Siris normally had an emotionless expression and spoke only when she needed to. She even liked being petted on the head like Koneko. It was almost as if she was a taller, more grown up version of her.
Isabela, the girl with the mask covering half her face, despite her appearance, was without a doubt the most respectful member of the Peerage. She bowed low to Naruto during their first training session and humbly requested him to train her as she said she finally knew just how much room she had left to improve, a request that Naruto readily accepted.
She was paired up with Xuelan as their respective fighting styles complimented each other. Isabela was a brawler who could both dish out damge and take it while Xuelan relied more on using her agile body to dodge attacks and counterattack with her martial art moves.
Marion and Bürent at the beginning behaved like stereotypical maids towards him. However, they dropped their maid routine when they saw that he wasn't like Riser and warmed up him like the others.
The two weakest members, Shuriya and Mira were disheartened by Naruto's blunt words about their strength at first were encouraged by Naruto to not give up. So now, Shuriya was training to become a combat medic while Mira acted as a scout that harassed the enemy in battle.
Ravel who was a part of the peerage became Naruto's assistant of sorts, supervising some of the members' training while he was busy helping the others. She kept up her training too as she was beginning to see that the Peerage as a whole was getting stronger with his help and she didn't want to fall behind.
However, the girls' first meeting with Rias's Peerage was interesting to say the least...
Ravel and Rias both tried to hug his arm and glared at each other. Yubelluna challenged Akeno for something about 'finding out who is his true Queen'. Karlamine once again bugged Kiba about his ability to create demonic swords while Kiba did his absolute best to avoid her.
Li and Ni were trying to get Koneko to reveal her true form with Koneko ignoring both of them and instead settled for glaring at Siris who was sporting a satisfied smile because she was being petted on the head by Naruto, her special spot. She eventually made her way to Naruto and tried to take over Siris's spot, resulting in a silent battle for Naruto's petting, not that Naruto was aware of it.
Issei was crouching in the corner drawing circles on the ground muttering something about the position of 'Harem King' being taken already with rainclouds raining over his head. Asia wanted to comfort him like she always did, however she was occupied with Shuriya asking her for tips on healing skills while the rest of Naruto's Peerage watched on.
