Everyone in the Gremory territory got acquainted with the name Naruto that morning.
.
.
Rias fumed, frothing at the mouth, glaring daggers at Naruto while her peerage members held her back. The blonde on the receiving end of her death stare had his pinky in his ears, trying to scoop wax off it.
The massive dining hall they were in seemed empty even with the students and lord and lady gremory present. Naruto sat beside Millicas who was adjacent to his grandmother. Coincidentally, the Ruin Princess sat opposite of Naruto with her peerage members by her side.
Rossweisse stared at the commotion going on, wondering what Naruto did this time to garner her ire. Sona and her peerage were in the same state staring at the duo with raised eyebrows.
"Rias, behave yourself," Lord Gremory commanded. It'd be unbecoming of the princess to treat their guest like that in the presence of the great demon lords.
As if on cue, Naruto perked up when the aura in the room shot up a notch. New, unfamiliar devils strode in with the grace and elegance of nobles. Among them, he spotted two couples having the same shade of blonde hair and light blue eyes as his.
They could pass off as Namikazes any day.
The four great Maous, Azazel, and Michael were also present waltzing in behind the nobles.
Naruto was invited to lunch by the devil family's clan head in the Gremory territory. Millcas hastily gave him a crash course on the members of the devils present, seeing his new friend's confused face.
Bael.
Phenex.
Sitri.
Astaroth.
"So… Many… Devils…" Naruto whispered breathlessly.
A small hand tugget at Naruto's sleeves. "Naruto-nii-san,"
"Young Milli. There are a lot of devils here." Naruto placed his palm over his mouth as he whispered to his little friend.
Lord Gremory welcomed them all and signalled for the maids to serve lunch.
"So, this is the man who trained Issei Hyoudou?" Lord Bael asked after taking a seat.
The plain clothing on Naruto and his aura instantly made them reevaluate the blonde. He could pass off as any ordinary human in the street.
"The man who also devised a way to seal the Phenex clan's regeneration abilities," Lord Phenex spoke, eyeing the blonde with veiled suspicion.
The devil lords present focused their gaze on Naruto, expecting an answer, a word from the blond.
Naruto replied with a carefree attitude, "The one and only."
Every devil present straightened their backs at his deft reply. Was he dumb? Didn't he know the implication of his actions?
The maid of the Gremory household came in and gave an announcement. "The rating has been updated, Rias and Sona are fighting together."
Both kings looked at each other in surprise before turning their sight to Naruto.
"Meh. That means I'll have more students to discipline." he shrugged.
Rias countenance twisted as she threatened to boil over in anger.
"Naruto-san, they are among the uprising young devils. I fear such arrogance will be your downfall." Lord Sitri commented.
"No, I know my students' capabilities. I can very well handle them… alone." Naruto replied.
The devil lord and ladies present perked up at his words. He was going to fight them alone? Not only one peerage but two all alone, no backup whatsoever?
"You are full of hubris, human." Lord Bael said cutting into a piece of marinated meat with the delicacy and grace worthy of his status.
"You are underestimating me, devil." Naruto was never one to be intimidated by his enemies.
Everyone glanced between Naruto and Lord Bael who held off a staring contest. The leader of the Bael smirked at the blonde after a few moments. He held his gaze well, something very few devils could do.
"I will look forward to the rating game, only then will I know if I had grossly underestimated you or not." he added.
"Are you sure you don't need peerage members?" Lady Gremory asked.
"I'd like to join Naruto-nii's peerage!" Millicas raised his hands up before Naruto could reply.
Everyone laughed at the young devil, Sirzechs being the loudest, except Rias.
"I just want to help my friend." Millicas whispered dejectedly.
His mood was lifted the moment Naruto placed his hand on his head. "When you grow older." He mouthed to the boy, a grateful smile gracing his features. Millicas beamed in return and nodded, finally finding a drive to grow older faster.
"Mom, I'm ready for… those Vegetables." Millicas said with a constipated look marring his cute face.
Grayfia raised her eyebrow in confusion. Let it be known that her son, Millicas, hated vegetables with a burning passion.
"You always say eating vegetables will make me grow up faster and I really need to grow up right now. Maybe if I had one of those mushrooms from Super Mario" Millicas added as if he sensed her confusion, trailing off at the last moment.
The mothers present shared a laugh at the loyal little friend Naruto gained. Rias shuddered with a groan, leaning back in her chair, rubbing her neck in exasperation.
Her mother had fallen and now, her brother too? Those two were becoming friends faster than Tobirama could say suiton.
"Is Naruto-san currently allied with any faction?" Lord Astaroth asked with a gleam in his eyes. The question made everyone perk up in interest, even his students.
"Like I said before, I'm independent. I belong to no faction."
"Join my peerage."
They were all surprised but they kept it well hidden. Those who knew Naruto could only shake their head at lord Astaroth's futile attempt.
"I should have seen this coming." Lord Phenex grunted.
"Why?"
Naruto's reply caught everyone off guard. Given his jerky exterior, what they expected was a witty reply, a jibe at worst. A snort or blatant disregard at best.
"Why? Well for starters, Power."
"I have enough power already"
"You are just a human being. As a devil your potential is limitless."
"Potential," Naruto snorted. "No offense but, I will not be reincarnated into a slave."
The reincarnated devils in the room cringed while the full-blooded ones shifted uncomfortably.
"Well, you don't have to look at it that way, when they becom—"
"They are not slaves!" Rias slammed her fist on the table, cutting her mother off.
