~~X~~

Naruto eyed the lifeless body of Riser for a while, before turning his head over to Rias and her peerage, who had a look of pure horror etched on their faces.

"Still wants to fight me, Rias?"

~~x~~

Rias narrowed her eyes as she looked down at the center of the crater and glared coldly at the intruder. Sensing the danger, all the member of her peerage reappeared in front of her, except for Asia who remained still on her spot.

"Who are you?" asked Rias with gritted teeth, the aura of destruction flared around her wildly.

Naruto didn't even waver a bit by the aura and had a look of disinterest as he gazed at Rias' furious face. "I'm a feeling that no one wants to feel, yet, in one way or another it abides in everyone... I'm Pein" he finally answered.

Rias could only shake in uncontainable fury at his answer. "You monster," she said, "do you realize what have you done!?."

"Yeah I do. I brought justice to Riser Phenex for the sins he had committed in the past." stated Naruto, glancing at the now dead Riser for a second, before turning his full attention towards Rias.

"No matter how much of a nuisance Riser was, but in the end he was a fellow devil." responded Rias with a scowl." And if you think that I'm going to let you run away without any punishment, then you're seriously mistaken!. I Rias Gremory of Gremory House will punish you for the crime that you have committed, Pein!"

Naruto merely stared at her with a bored look. "Stay away from me Rias, you are of no importance to me and I don't want to start an another fight." said Naruto with the same bored look before turning his attention to his paths.

"Are you taking me for granted?" questioned Rias while looking at Naruto straight in the eyes. The ground beneath her soon started shaking due to the power that she was releasing.

"Yes," answered Naruto without any hesitation. "And why shouldn't I," he began, looking momentarily at Akeno and the rest before turning his attention back to Rias " You are the weakest devil of the current generation, Rias. You boast of having three sacred gear users in your peerage, but still are afraid of Riser. Even after inheriting the famed power of destruction, you are unable to make a name for yourself, even now people refer to you as the youngest daughter of Gremory or the younger sister of Lucifer. You say that you understand your peerage and treat them like your own family, but in reality they are nothing more than just some mere puppets for you. You Rias, are nothing more than just a failure to me." he finished with an almost invisible scowl, shocking the devils present around him.

"Don't you dare bring my servants in this matter. I understand them better than anyone in this world." Rias whispered with a dark look on her face, while her peerage members who were standing beside her, nodded at their master's words.

"Have your ever lost an important person in your life?" Naruto asked the angry redhead with an intrigued look on his face.

Rias after listening Naruto's question became still for a moment. "No" she hesitantly answered.

Naruto simply regarded the girl before him for a couple of seconds. "Then how can you understand Akeno, when you don't even know her pain. Her pain of loss is still unbeknown to you, you don't know how it feels like to see a person that you loved dearly die in front of you. Akeno and the rest of your peerage have suffered a lot Rias, but you on the other hand don't even know what true suffering is. True understanding is only created when people share pain, when they all share the loss and suffering dealt to them." Naruto stopped abruptly, while his pair of Rin'negan continued to analyze Rias.

After few breathes he started speaking again." You don't even know about the things that they have been through. Your knight Kiba, lost all of his friends during the Project of Holy Swords. Your rook Koneko was betrayed by her sister and was sentenced to death by the so called superior Devils. They both were innocent, but still suffered a fate worse than the death itself. So now tell me Rias, how much do you understand your peerage?" Naruto asked with a hint of amusement

Rias remained silent after Naruto's words. "I-I…" Her gazed dropped to the floor. "I don't know" she said with a low whisper.

While all this was happening, the peerage of Rias were in turmoil. They all had somewhat of mixed feelings about the whole thing. On one hand they wanted to support their master and tell the stranger about how much their master loves them, but on the other hand they can't simply disagree with the points that were raised by the individual standing in front of them. So they decided to do the smart thing and remained silent...well except for Akeno.

"Ara, it seems like we won't be getting away from here without a fight huh, Rias." Akeno said from beside Rias, but didn't got a response from her king. "Rias?" She said again, now managing to get her king's attention.

"Did you say something Akeno?" Rias asked her queen, still not looking away from the intruder.

Giving a nod, Akeno repeated herself. "I said we should make a plan for a fight, we cannot defeat him without a proper plan." Looking at her king, she saw that Rias was still looking at the blonde mystery boy now named Pein. "Ara Ara, are you perhaps interested in this Pein boy Rias?"

Taking her gaze away from the boy, Rias looked over at her queen. "Akeno, I would be lying if I said I am not, he's a mystery. While he call himself a human, I would say he's telling a half truth, by his voice, his clothing and the weapons that he pulled out on Riser and his peerage, I can surely say that he's a supernatural being." She explained after analyzing Naruto for a while. "But despite all that he's still very powerful individual and we should not let our guard down in front of him."

Giving Rias a nod Akeno herself stared at Naruto for a while, during the staring their eyes met for a second and in that mere second Akeno clearly saw everything hidden behind his metallic rippled eyes, the loneliness, the unimaginable suffering, and the pain of losing a loved one just like her, but there was a slight difference between their pain, in her struggle, she had friends to support her, but in his, he only had himself.

'Who you really are, Pein?' Akeno thought to herself, her cheeks adorned a faint pink tint due to the mention of Pain.

"I see..." Naruto curtly nodded. "looks like you finally realized your mistake Rias. But don't worry Rias, because today you will know and understand the pain of your peerage." The former shinobi said, from the corner of his eyes he noticed the shaking of Issei and prepared himself, knowing that from here on out things will get more interesting.

"Shut up monster!, I'm going to destroy you for killing those innocent girls and berating my buchou." Iseei shouted with all his might and before Rias or any other devil could say anything to stop him, Iseei revealed his sacred gear and launched himself towards Naruto with his left hand extended in order to use his power 'Boost'.

Naruto waited as Issei came at him with his shining sacred gear in his left hand. Letting him close the distance, Naruto finally acted when Iseei's left hand was mere centimeters away from his face. He released a burst of enormous amount of chakra from his left hand.

'Shinra Tensei!'

As soon as chakra left his hand, the full power of the attack was revealed. The air exploded and the ground shattered, forming a whirlwind of incredibly dense flying debris that was aimed right at Issei.

"Eh?" Was all Issei managed to get out, caught completely unaware by the sudden turnabout. That was his last act before he was engulfed by the tornado of dirt and rubble. The debris collided with Issei and sent him crashing onto the ground far away from Naruto. The entire attack didn't just stop at Issei. It continued onwards into the widely spread forest behind the previously destroyed academy. Uncountable trees were uprooted by the sheer amount of the gravitational force and the a thick layer of ground was peeled off from the surface, leaving behind a new formed valley of debris.

"W-What?" Iseei found himself paralysed by the boy in front of him; his mere presence radiated power and his cold gaze seemed to stare right through them.

"So you are the container of Welsh Dragon" Naruto's voice was hard and blunt, emotionless even and he didn't seem to blink even once, just boring his gaze into the frightened Red Dragon Emperor. "You disappoint me Issei Hyoudou. I thought you will prove out to be a great challenge, but it seems like I was wrong in my assumptions. You can't even dodge my simple attack." Naruto said, as he looked around to the crumpled form of the ground, before returning his steely, even gaze to the rather important figure in front of him.

"But I must commend you Issei; even after knowing that I'm far above you in prowess, you still had the courage to confront me." Issei tensed as Naruto turned to fully face him, his full attention now on the much younger man.

"How are you so powerful? How can you overpower the attack of my Sacred Gear?" Issei knew the answer was obvious, as he can clearly see the strange eyes that were fixed in the eye sockets of the boy, but he still thought it best to ask; every second this Pein was occupied, his fellow peerage members had more time to prepare.

"I will always be stronger than you Issei. And for how am I so strong, well the answer is simple... Pain, a thing that you lack and I have." Issei's eyes squinted in confusion. "Pain?" Iseei blinked, as he slowly rose up to his feet again.

"Yes Pain!, Pain nourishes courage, and courage is the key to power. Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life." Naruto spoke in a sonorous tone so that the people around them can hear him too.

Akeno who heard the whole explanation, couldn't control herself and jumped between the intruder and Issei, Kiba and Koneko soon joined her and took their position by her side.

"Ufufufu, this so much fun, ~Pein-kun~. But unfortunately I can't let you do more damage to our precious Dragon-kun and I too want to be a part of this fight. " Akeno remarked, a blush on her face. She even licked her lips sensually, showing the battle was arousing her.

With a wave of her hand, Akeno created a multitude of thunder strikes. They came from all directions, surrounding Naruto completely.

In a blur of motion that the devils had no hope of following, Gakidō (Preta Path) appeared beside Naruto and formed a huge circular barrier around them. The constructed barrier easily endured and absorbed the thunder that attacked them from all sides.

"Ara ara, Pein-kun. You really are powerful" Akeno bubbled in a joyful voice. Naruto didn't answer, as he just carried on analyzing Akeno. Akeno didn't seem to care though, and soon changed into her miko outfit and declared in a sultry tone, "But I think it is time to finish up this duel." Lifting her hands into the air, a large yellow magic circle formed above Akeno. The demonic power was apprehensible, indicating that Akeno was clearly putting everything she had left into this attack.

Gakidō readied himself for an another attack, but stopped when he felt the hand of his leader on his shoulder. He slowly turned his head over to his leader and looked straight into his eyes. "I will handle this, you join the rest of the Paths above the crater and do your preassigned work." Naruto ordered his fellow path. The Gakidō nodded and soon vanished in a purple blur.

Like a lightning rod, a bolt of thunder shot down from the sky and collided with Akeno's magic circle, the thunder was summarily absorbed by the circle. With that as her cue, Akeno moved her hands in front of her and pointed them out to Naruto. The magic circle then regurgitated the thunder it had absorbed, this time aimed directly at Naruto.

Naruto stopped a short distance from the attack, barely ten metres separating him and the booming bolt of thunder. Naruto sensing the attack getting closer, decided to reciprocate the favor. His eyes abruptly started glowing ominously as he started forming three hand seals. 'Ram - Snake - Rabbit'. After finishing the seals he clapped his hands in a praying manner.

"Takemikazuchi : Rakurai - (Creation of Thunder God : Thunderbolt)"

A few seconds later, clouds started gathering in the sky and the loud booming thunders could be heard everywhere, soon the sky started to get darker. Naruto waited for few moments, before he motioned his hand down, commanding the thunderbolt to attack.

Following Naruto's command, the enormous ethereal purple bolt of lightning left the sky and rocketed towards the Akeno's thunder bolt. As soon as the attacks collided Naruto's purple thunderbolt easily overwhelmed Akeno's lighting and kept on moving towards the group of devils.

"H-He... He obliterated my ultimate attack like it was nothing." Akeno remarked in shock, her previous demeanor completely fading away. She just stared with wide eyes, trying to comprehend what had just happened… then suddenly she saw the purple lighting that was surging towards them.

"Move!" she shouted at her fellow devils, as she took off to the sky to avoid the attack. Kiba and Koneko overcoming their shock, sensed the attack just a moment before it hit them. Moving to the side, Kiba easily avoided the attack due to his speed boost. Koneko on the other hand narrowly avoided the attack from connecting perfectly. Instead of hitting her back, the lighting connected with her left side of the body. She screamed in pain as the electricity surged through her system. Blasted away from the ground, she wasn't capable of recovering in time to prevent hitting again with the ground. Her body dug a trench in the ground before she came to a stop. Knowing that soon she will be unconscious, Koneko turned her head towards the frightened Rias who was coming towards her and whispered. "Run away from here Rias-senpai!"

Akeno tried to make it back to Koneko, but was interrupted by some missiles of Shuradō (Asura Path) that collided with her voluptuous form. The missiles kept on coming and damaging her, until she lost her consciousness too. Her burned and battered form then fell from the sky and made a hash impact with ground.

"Koneko...Akeno!" Kiba spoke with pain in his voice. Sending a deep glare towards his opponent, he called out, "Prepare yourself Pein," Kiba was about to attack, but stopped when he felt surge in demonic power that drew his attention. Moving in the direction, he came upon a sight he hadn't expected. His King was the source of the demonic power and she was clearly concentrating on something. Based on the amount of demonic power and concentration, it was a high level spell.

Rias' whole body was engulfed in a red aura and she was shaking uncontrollably. "You have done enough, now get ready to embrace your end Pein." with that said she finally released all her demonic towards Naruto.

Seeing a large ball of red energy form in Rias' hands, Gakidō and Chikushõdõ (Animal Path) quickly appeared beside Naruto and created two barriers, one to absorb and another to defend. Unfortunately, Rias' attack was on a different level than Akeno's. Both the barriers after a while shattered before the force, and Naruto was forced to scatter to avoid being destroyed. His paths on the other hand were not so lucky and were obliterated by the Power Of Destruction.

Rias got back to her feet, smoke covering the area she was in. She waited as it cleared to show the two completely lifeless body of the two intruder. She didn't pay them much attention, instead started looking around the field to sense Naruto.

"Tsk, I was hoping to destroy that bastard with this attack, but that bastard escaped again. At least we got two of them," Rias remarked in dissatisfaction. Arms suddenly burst from the ground beneath her, six to be precise, and each one made to grab her legs. Rias was unable to react in time and was pinned to ground harshly. She tried to free herself, but her every attempt was proven to be futile, no matter how much hard she tried the six mechanical hands didn't let her go and held her tightly to the ground.

Kiba who saw this, tried to help Rias, but before he could do anything, he was pulled towards a certain direction. After floating in mid air for a while, he was abruptly slammed onto the ground. Two dark chakra rods seemingly out of nowhere descended towards his helpless form and pierced his left lung and the

lower part of his abdomen. "Ahhhh" Kiba screamed in anguish and pain. The pain soon became too much to bear and Kiba after a while lost his consciousness.

Naruto walked over to where the lifeless body of Kiba was. Naruto kicked him none too gently to roll him onto his stomach. Stepping till he was standing over Kiba entirely, Naruto crouched down and sat on the back of Kiba.

Rias' eyes became wide, her heart practically stopping as she felt warm liquid drip down her face. It was so sudden, so fast, she hadn't even known what was going on before Kiba was slammed on the ground and was pierced by those rods. Her hand clenched once as her mind became clouded by a primal, burning rage. "You killed him!" she snarled in fury, making Naruto turn his gaze onto her.

"Yes...You killed my people and in return I killed yours" Naruto answered in a deep and sonorous voice.

Rias' hand slowly opened and closed, balling into a fist before relaxing over and over. "Why you are doing this?" she meekly asked, tears now flowing freely on her cheeks.

Naruto stood up from his position and frowned. "To make you feel the same pain that I felt when that poor kid died in my arms." Naruto continued to walk forward, seemingly unconcerned with his surroundings as he didn't even glance about, always keeping his vision fixed on Rias.

Rias' confusion got the better of her and his eyes showed it as she blinked at the man walking towards her. "What will you achieve by making us feel your Pain?"

The blonde-haured Rinnegan wielder smiled faintly at her, his arms going wide as if to mock the very situation they stood in the midst of. "Peace"

"Peace..." Rias said with gritted teeth."How could you preach about peace standing in the very midst of an attack you instigated?" Rias asked him venomously.

Naruto's small smile slipped away as his face once again lost any sign of emotion. "When the power of Fear overcomes the fear of power, the World will know Peace."

Naruto stopped a short distance from the redhead, barely ten inches separating the two individual.

Rias would have retorted more harshly, but was stopped as two dark chakra rod pierced her lower abdomen and her right thigh, embedding her more deep into the ground. "All destruction, by violent revolution or however it be, is new creation on a wider scale." Naruto monotonously whispered into the ears of Rias. Rias tried to say something, but was unable to do so as she too went unconscious.

Standing up from his position, Naruto then looked at the shaking form of Asia who had tears on her beautiful face. Naruto regarded the blonde for a moment, before making his way towards her.

"How are you little Aisa?" Naruto's voice finally broke the painfully deafening silence, snapping Asia out of her thoughtful trance, their eyes still firmly glued on one another.

Suddenly a red blur out of nowhere flashed beside Asia. As light faded away, Asia was surprised to see Iseei standing beside her. Iseei glared at Naruto while gritting his teeth. Naruto just met his eyes sternly. "Stay away from her Pein!" he said in an emotionless tone, as his body was completely engulfed in an armour made of some red metal.

Naruto closed his eyes for a moment, before smiling ever so slightly at the now modified Iseei "So we finally going to fight seriously, Red Dragon Emperor?" Naruto asked in amusement while his eyes glowed ominously.
