PA: I want to start this off with a quick word, I have been saying that the chapters wouldn't always bee 20k words long... They are really hard to get out you know, like even if it does flow, that is still a large amount of writing.

I have had a few messages about this... and it turns out that Yoruichi is going to become an Egyptian Goddess... Well yep, well I can say that there will be a few modifications... like a permanent tail and some kitty ears.

Anyway, onto reviews:

welltall44: I welcome any and all puns. Though there are a large number of people that are suggesting that pairing so it is likely to go ahead. As for Koneko and Kuroka... Ah, that is... I don't really know how to put that right, I mean, Nona can pass as a young looking woman, but Koneko is still just a little girl and I am not sure I am comfortable writing a story like that. As for Kuroka, well she is in every other High school DxD story of mine as a pairing, we still get a cat girl, but I don't think that the nekomata siblings will be a part of this harem.

Otaku97: I can see where you are coming from in the fact that having so many characters will make each one have less of a chance to be fully fleshed out, but this is also what I wanted to do with this story, to make it stupidly huge in such a way that people feel as if it is almost its own story and not a cross over of two anime. On saying that, this is the first story I am writing in a long time that is not three or less for the main pairing, so I want to test myself as well.

DraxAQN: I do as well, and we will go deeper into that at some point, just not right now as people are still being introduced and we are still learning more about characters. Though Nona is best!

fieryfoxpaws: A child born from an angel and a human is called a Nephilim, though in saying that quite a large number of people have now taken that to be the offspring of an angel and demon... Thank you Devil May Cry, you truly are awesome but you have misguided people so greatly.

The reason he has white wings, is because his father had not fallen at the time of conception whereas Akeno's had.

Dragon Blaze-X: I had a look around for a bit, and some of thee designs were pretty cool, I might even use some for combat armors later on in the story, but in the end, the amount of people that wanted to see Yoruichi as a catgirl was simply too great.

Skyhaou: Not a fan of Baruto, you don't have to worry too much about seeing him in this story.

Dark Durian: Artis still has much to learn, plus she gets into trouble a fair bit.

Blood D. Cherry: More Grayfia scenes will be coming, I can not just flood every chapter with them otherwise it might get a little stale... nah, not Grayfia, but we need to let the other girls have their time to shine as well though!

seisaoftw: No children until Naruto reclaims his throne. He is going to be going to war and he knows that, so he doesn't want to leave any children behind, or drag them into battle with him. In saying that though, your idea while cool, I wouldn't use, mostly because I really, really like Dulio's character. I mean he is lazy and all that, but he also is always going out and tasting new foods so that he can share the different foods around the world to those orphans that live with the church. He is kinda like the big brother to them all and has even said that he considered Asia a sister of sort seeing as she grew up in a church like him... at least I think he did... It has been a while since I read the light novels.

Kami no Sennin: I really love her character as well, I guess their way of testing and stuff could be brought in, though it would be shown in an Omake of sorts, mostly because I don't want it to be part of the story line, but at the same time I also want to include it... if that makes sense?

Wacko12: I was trying to go for a more Starcraft Zerg v Protoss feel, cause that's kinda what Kerrigan and Naruto are built from, haven't played Asura's Wrath, so I don't know if they look anything alike.

coresplinter: Adding more characters from Naruto would cause headaches, this already has a list of characters that is quite immense.

DannyPhantom619: Type 'Saber' into Google and that is the base of Artis' form and character, didn't know if you knew that already or not, but I think most people do.

Im a guest: Joan of Arc is someone I feel gets left out quite a bit from most stories, pour Joan, she deserves some love... hehe.

FritoDoritoPhantom: Here ya go.

Biblio388: Hopefully I can keep it up then ne?

Alucard: Firstly, you are a kickass vampire, just wanted to say that, secondly ta for your words, I am trying to make this story out there, yet at the same time still able to be looked at and go, well that does make sense with the way he has set it up... if you catch my drift, also he will get around to that, but there is still quite a bit of time before the Brave Saint system was even introduced in canon.

Seikishi-Kenshi: It's done!

Water cascading down golden pillars before landing softly into the large baths in the restricted zone. Naruto sat in the middle of the bath, letting the water cleanse his being as another rubbed his back gently. Her delicate fingers lathering his back as she kneaded his muscles. They were tight, strained and tired from being overworked earlier in the day.

A groan slipped from his mouth and the massage on his back paused, "Does it continue to feel well Naruto-sama?" Came the soft voice from the beauty behind him. She still found it difficult to believe at times that she had tried to fight him because of orders from a foolish group of leaders.

"It's great~" Naruto groaned out as she dug in deeper, the woman had fingers like magic, "How was your day?"

"Interesting?" She paused for a moment, as if questioning her answer, "I met Artis... She seems lost..." Grayfia trailed thinking about the blonde woman. She was clumsy at times, yet still tried her best to uphold a visage that showed she was important. Honestly though, to think she had gotten her confused with a sibling of Nona. They didn't even really look alike did they?

Naruto pursed his lips together before frowning lightly, "Artis has always been troubled, she took up a position where she was forced to become a man, yet had to constantly fight against her emotions and needs as a women... She has a lot of my respect for doing such, I guess it is why I am okay with her taking longer than Nona did to find her place."

"Nona... I don't know much about her compared to Artis, yet I have known the former much longer."

"To be expected," A sigh escaped his lips as a pair of arms gently draped themselves around his shoulders, her chin resting in the gap between her arms and his neck softly, "Nona doesn't trust anyone except for myself. Despite the smile she often wears... She is actually a very lonely girl, not even Michael can speak to her normally without her mask coming on."

"Why does she trust you then?" She questioned in her relaxed state before flinching when she noticed what she asked, "Please fo-"

"Why do you trust me Grayfia? I nearly killed you didn't I?"

She froze at his words, it was true, she would have died from the injuries he had given her, yet she was here now because of him saving her life, because he freed her. Her chest rose and fell as she took a large breath, "You took me in and gave me a place I belonged when no one else would have. Where others would have tossed me aside because I was too much of a burden, or because of where my ties used to lie, you embraced me and protected me from harm."

"Nona is similar in that regard, sh-"

There was a soft knock at the door before it slowly opened showing Gabriel walking in with a nervous expression on her face, "Umm Naru-kun... There has been a bit of an issue?" She hesitated lightly, unsure of how he would take the news. He rose a brow at her, telling her to continue, "Nona and Artis seem to have, um had a disagreement..."

"Ah," Naruto stood up dragging Grayfia up with him, the silverette sliding down from his shoulders and stepping next to him, bowing her head lightly to Gabriel, said Seraph was having a difficult time keeping her eyes above waist chest level, the bodies of both Grayfia and Naruto were incredibly appealing, she wondered what it would be like to make babies with the both of them, after all she had only really felt the body of Naruto pressed flush against her, but there was a strange appeal to Grayfia's it was not slender like some of the human women strive for, no it was curvy, her legs showed that they had a large amount of power, her hips were wide, good for child rearing yet her waist was slim.

The faintest lines of definition were on her arms along with her stomach while her breasts were incredible, even more so that water was running down her body. Her face perfect even with the very minor amount of makeup on, that being a very faint level of lipstick, something which made her lips look so much more tasty.

Though her eyes were quickly drawn to her blonde husband as he stretched lightly, his muscles rippling as his rugged face tilted to the side with his head as his neck popped back into place. He had been working in the forge all day and was no doubt tired, yet he would not even hesitated to help if he was needed by his Arbiters or wives.

He jumped out of the water just enough for his feet to touch the surface before springing into the air and flipping over, the water that was on him now gone as a pair of pants formed on his legs before he landed on the surface of the bath yet again, "Could you take me to them?" He questioned softly, though with his now more adult face she found it hard to find his 'soft' voice fitting.


Earlier

Artis let out a tired sigh as she sunk into the bath, this was one that was made for the Arbiters, as of now it was fine because there were only two of them and they were both female, though in the future she could not picture the mixed-gender bathing working well... Though it seemed to work with Naruto and the others, though maybe that was because they all loved him?

She felt a pang of pain run through her chest, love. She held love for a mortal, her husband and her child, she had tried a few times to check in on them, but it seemed that Morgan had placed a barrier of some kind over the two, keeping her from being able to find them.

She clutched at her heart lightly as her body sunk into the water, tears forming in the corners of her eyes, she just wanted to see her child. The sound of feet touching the ground alerted Artis to the fact that she was no longer alone, she rubbed at her eyes and looked up to see Nona getting into the bath on the other side, "There was no point in that, I already knew you were crying Cow-boy."

Artis frowned deeply, Nona was always correcting her or pointing out flaws of hers. It was old after the first day, now though nearly a handful of weeks into this strange new life, she had long past had enough, "Call me Artis!" She growled out, near glaring at the child-like woman.

Nona tilted her head to the side as she started to wash her hair, "Stop making mistakes and I might," She retorted calmly.

"Why?" Artis whispered out before gritting her teeth, seeing Nona stare at her in confusion, "Why are you always like this? I am trying! I am doing everything that I can it's just that I am not used to this yet... Can't you just be nice about it?"

"Why should I?" Nona questioned, a deep frown now on her face, no longer was she washing her hair, "Why should I help you? Why should I care if you are trying or not? Just do your job right."

Artis clenched her fists and stood up walking over to Nona who dropped any expression from her face, "What's your problem with me Nona?!"

The woman in question turned her head away, "Every time you make a mistake, Naruto has to fix it. I want you to stop fucking up so that he doesn't have to clean up after you!"

The blonde stared in shock at what her senior had just said, "He does what?"

"Every time we make a mistake, we step out of line or make a fool of ourselves, Naruto cleans it up. He is always protecting us, keeping us safe and giving us a place to return to, so the least you could do is try to pull your act together Cow-boy," Nona hissed out.

Artis shook her head from side to side, "Impossible, he-"

Nona stood up her fists clenched tight enough the blood slipped from beneath her nails, "Shut up shut up shut up! Yo-"

The silverette was cut off as an open palm struck the side of her face, Artis was glaring at her with daggers yet there was still a hint of shock in her eyes, like she hadn't expected herself to do that. Nona though responded in kind throwing a straight jab to the woman's face and sending her flying across the bath and into the other end.

Artis blinked her eyes a few times as she pulled her body out from the wall, her neck which had been jostled and her muscles strained were already repairing themselves, it was happening so fast that she could feel it. She dropped down to the ground and glared at the young-looking woman, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"With me?! I am fine you ungrateful bitch! You slapped me, who the hell just slaps someone?!"

"Someone who is fed up with you treating her like a rug to be walked on! Weeks now, you have been doing just that," Artis craned her neck to the side and felt a large crack as it popped back into place, "I'm not one to be easily aggravated like this, but I feel as though you deserve it."

Artis flashed forward in a burst of speed, her first stretched out to strike only to watch the pale hand of Nona divert it past her delicate face, out past her shoulder before diving in with a solid elbow strike to the older looking woman's stomach.

Nona did not give an inch, when Naruto and herself had free time she would spend it with him sparing. Yes he took it beyond easy on her and she knew that, but Artis was moving in slow motion for her. The elbow was quickly followed be a rolling shoulder that snapped the blonde's head out to the side, possibly breaking some bones in her chin before landing a quick three strikes to Artis' chest, putting a small amount of distance between them allowing her to crouch down ever so slightly to bend her knees and gather strength in her legs for a fly kick that knocked the prissy blonde through the door.

A sigh left the petite girl's lips, she was going to hear it about the door, "You don't deserve my respect, that means that I can only treat you as beneath me," She knew that Artis could hear her, because she could hear the sounds of the blonde picking herself up down the corridor, 'And I don't know how to treat you as anything between.' She thought to herself, before Naruto found her and gave her a purpose for life, she was little more than a prisoner forced into labor so that she could eat.

Trash.

No worse than trash, she knew a life that she would not wish on anyone. To see Artis who was so lucky, who had so many things given to her, flounder around and still be making such simple mistakes after all this time, really bothered her.

Nona stood by what she said, to this day she could not understand why Naruto chose her to be an arbiter, she grit her teeth lightly and clenched her fists, what was it about Artis? What about the big breasted woman made her so important?

Was it her looks?

Doubtful, with the way Naruto looked now he could get almost anyone, plus it seemed like Artis was set on this man she loved. Blood dripped down her white knuckles, love... Artis was showered in it while she lived under the name of Arthur, even finding a man to love her despite the facade she put on.

Nona... The closest thing to love she had felt was when Naruto stopped her from jumping into the spike pit. One was dying in a war she didn't want to fight, while the other chose to take her own life to stop her mistreatment.

One scorned, one loved. One worshiped, one discarded when her use was over.

She could still hear the faint sounds of whips being cracked as anguished cries roared in the near distance. Nona looked slightly up as Artis entered the room again, blood leaking from her forehead causing her hair to flatten against her wet skin. A scowl etched deeply on her face, "You're skilled..." It was a statement, one that came from the cracked lips of Artis.

Nona pursed her lips slightly, "Not enough, no where near enough. I am an ant compared to the powers out there, compared to Naruto I feel like I am even less."

"Why do you dislike me so much, it can not all be because of my performance can it?"

"...I..." Nona mumbled something out which Artis couldn't catch.

"Could you repeat yourself?"

"... I don't know how to treat you. You aren't worthless, yet you also don't deserve my respect as someone above me... I don't know how to take it slow and can only give everything my all, you frustrate me because you can make mistakes and look back at them with an awkward smile..."

The scowl left Artis' face as she blinked in shock, though Nona just continued speaking, "You're different from me, not just in how we look, I watched your life, well parts of it... I am negative, you are positive."

Artis was about to say something only to think back on Gabriel's words, 'not everyone here had a happy childhood Artis, please be mindful of that.' Back then she could not figure what the Seraph was speaking about, but now, was it possible that she had been speaking about Nona?

Had she just been spoiled so much that it seemed like her life had been bad to her? Inwardly she frowned, or there was the chance that Nona just had it so much worse that her own life looked like a positive experience, "I am not sure that I follow you?" She questioned softly. At best it seemed like Nona wasn't going to attack, hopefully that remained the case, yes her body might be much more sturdy than the wall of a castle, only she was not used to feeling herself crash through metal and stone like it was nothing. Her back was burning along with the areas that Nona struck, she hadn't even seen the small girl move, there was no chance for her to react.

"I'm not going into it, mostly because I don't want to... but you had love and were supported, you had warmth and felt happy... The only thing I had came to me as I was about to end it all... Naruto," Nona gave a pained smile before lightly shaking her head, "Get out of here, I'll fix up the door and the bath."

That explained a lot for Artis, Naruto saved the poor girl from herself, she practically worshiped him because of it now. He gave her a home, a place to call her own and people that gave her smiles on a daily basis... To Nona, this must be a paradise, then she came in and started to make mistakes putting extra work on the subject of her admiration. She to would be angry if she were in Nona's shoes.

Though having the younger looking woman tell her to just leave it to her bugged her a little, "Really I ca-"

"Oi Artis... I said I have it, just go, I don't know play with those udders of yours or something okay?" Nona flashed her a wide smile, there wasn't any emotion behind it, but it seemed like it was a gesture made to express that she was somewhat happy?

Honestly Artis didn't know anymore, Nona was like a book that was written in a different language to her, then it dawned on her, that was the first time that Nona had called her Artis since they first met. Not bitch, not Cow-Boy, not whore, sow, Udder-Brain, Milk-Mother, or even Spunk Bubble. How did she even find ways to come up with all of them?

"I... Uh... Thanks Nona?" She offered, still completely confused.

The silverette gave a small shrug of her shoulders before freezing in place as she looked past Artis, "Too late..." She squeaked out.

Artis turned around to see a pair of bright eyes looking at the two, his face formed into a mixture of irritated and displeased, she turned back to Nona and nodded her head, "Agreed."

Nona saw his chains flicking around rapidly before holding up a large metal slab, one which looked similar to the door, only it had become distorted and warped, his bright eyes scanned over the two as he walked forward, ignoring their state of dress, or lack there of as he placed a hand gently on the head of Artis, "Try not to break my door next time Artis, and Nona... Try not to throw Artis into my door," He snapped his fingers and the metal molded back into its original state, "The baths are meant to be a place to relax, if you feel the need to beat on each other, please use the training grounds..." He pointed over to a corner of the room before making a gesture with his finger as if he was calling someone over, "Did you think I wouldn't notice you Dear Sister?"

The air distorted slightly as Lilith walked away from the corner, showing herself to the others. For Artis it was her first time meeting this person, yet they felt strangely familiar, she looked up at Naruto with her eyes, taking in his hidden form before looking to 'Lilith' surprised that they looked incredibly similar, only his blue was replaced by black on her.

Lilith pressed her lips together in thought for a moment before placing a finger on her chin and quilting her head slightly, "Do you want me to undress as well Brother? Or is this not a naked party for you?"

Nona and Artis looked at one another, now taking in their appearance. The latter quickly covered herself while sporting a rather large blush while Nona pursed her lips slightly before clicking her fingers and having a towel appear in the air next to her, She wrapped it around herself gently and looked at Lilith who seemed to be fiddling with the strap the barely held her dress on her seductive body, "I believe it would be preferred if you kept your clothing on Onee-sama," Came the surprisingly stern, yet at the same time, warm voice of Gabriel.

Artis looked at the two woman in shock, "Onee-sama?" She had a small understanding of the Japanese language, yet still found it was strange for Lilith to be addressed as her sister.

Gabriel though a kind smile to the young arbiter, though it was Naruto that answered, his eyes flickering over to Lilith, as if conveying a silent message to the woman who gave a sheepish laugh, "Gabriel married into my family. That said, she is a part of my family, just as much as Lilith is. Lilith is older, barely, but she is still older, thus for her to be referred to as 'Onee-sama' is not strange. Though if we were on my home world, even if she was younger it would be the correct way to call her, as if someone was stronger than you, they were above you in all sense of the matter," He saw the confusion on Artis' face and paused, his lips pursing together in thought before he gave a small nod, "I never did tell you... but I am not from this world. I have been alive for a while longer than humans have been on this planet."

Artis watched the blonde male intently as a bath robe was draped over her shoulders by Gabriel. She found it hard to believe that he was from a different planet, 'A lot of Angels misunderstand Naruto, that is because they continue to believe that he is an Angel to begin with.' Those were the words that Michael had spoken to her, she had thought them over and over, Naruto was not an Angel, yet he was not a Devil either.

She knew this, though to think he was older than either of them, older than humans themselves. She felt herself drawn back to their first meeting. She had truly believed him to be an angel in that moment, he stood so beautiful above a field of death, he knew what to say and he took her in without any worry.

A different planet, if that were the case, there were more than likely people at his own level of strength, she had a taste of Nona's own, it was scary to face someone that outclassed her so completely, but to Nona she was still not strong enough. She could only think that Nona had been referring to Naruto.

To be able to help him with what he had planned. That scared her so much, she had heard a few conversations with Michael asking Naruto if everything was going to his plan, though the blonde seemed to be somewhat evasive when it was brought up, almost as if he was scared to answer the question out loud.

"I think I understand," She gave a small nod only to watch Naruto place a hand on his chin and shrug.

"No you don't."

He did that often, always telling her that she didn't understand what he was explaining to her. It aggravated her, surely she would have understood if she said so right? Though she had glanced over some of his notes at a time, Nona had been carrying them to his forge, to think that he understood drawings and symbols like that just by glance. She was lost for hours trying to figure out what the few she could remember could possibly mean, yet Nona said that they were only drafts for reference, hardly containing anything compared to his actual notes.

She placed a hand softly on her chest, he had given her wings and made her so strong in what seemed like a moment for her. Did they truly see the world in such a different manner that she would never understand him? She glanced to Nona, she would have to try to understand her silverette comrade before she tried to do the same to her 'boss' so to say.

Artis stiffened as she watched Naruto walked up to her, crouching down slightly to be on the same level as her, he dabbed lightly at her forehead with a washcloth he had summoned, she assumed, wiping away the blood that had poured from her skull from the impact without any questions.

"Have the two of you come to an understanding?" His voice was soft and comforting, the kind that made you feel safe around him.

"I... I would like to think we understand each other better than before," Artis replied, not entirely sure if she was saying the right thing. He finished with the washcloth and it burst into flames before he ruffled her hair lightly, she turned to look and Nona who seemed to give a small shrug, seemingly not bothered by her words.

Naruto turned to Nona, his eyes narrowing a slight fraction, not enough for Artis to pick up yet the person his gaze was directed at certainly did, "I... I will try to be more lenient and slow down explanations."

"And your temper?"

"I thought you liked my 'temper'?"

A sly smirk formed on the blonde face as he walked forward and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, "I do, and in the future it won't be a problem, yet Artis is still not used to her body, so you have to be careful... In fact your relationship reminds me very much of the one myself and Michael used to share when we were younger... Much younger."

A melodious giggle gained their attention and drew their eyes to Gabriel who lifted a hand to try to muffle the sound but it was too late, seeing that she was caught she decided to just go with it, "Naruto and Michael had a fight that nearly tore heaven in half once. It was over something really small as well from memory yet it continued to escalate until it was something that you could ask any angel about... Oh, it was about a type of food..."

"Ramen is not just a type of food Gabriel," Naruto stated sternly, a sigh leaving his lips as he ran a hand through his hair, pausing slightly for a moment before he frowned, "Another failed test..." He muttered more to himself than anyone else as he vanished from the room.

Lilith looked around and saw the confusion on their faces before pouting herself, "He is always getting caught up in his projects, he is trying to make a new Omega..." Her words were enough to gain the attention of Gabriel, "Yes the power source is quite unstable at the moment."

"I thought the former Omega was perfect at what was designed to do?" The blonde Seraph questioned.

The conversation going way over the head's of the arbiters, Lilith though didn't seem to worry much about their confusion, she had just mentioned it to make sure they understood that Naruto was not calling them failures... He wouldn't do that to them, yet his words could have been taken as such, "Its output has been increased by over one-hundred percent. The old power source can not sustain it anymore."

Gabriel pinched the bridge of her nose gently, "That would explain his frustration."

"Indeed," Grayfia muttered surprising many as most had forgotten that she was there, "It also explains why he has spent so much time in his forge of late. Perhaps I should visit Ajuka and see if they can think of something together?"

Her question was passed between Gabriel and Lilith before the latter vanished much like Naruto had earlier. Grayfia pursed her lips together, "It irritates me when they do that."

Gabriel widened her eyes slightly, "Oh good, I am not the only one then."


Greece, Athens, Arcopolis.

Naruto walked calmly down the large streets, ignoring the stares of confusion from those around him. They could tell that he was different. He was by himself, this was going to be a taxing conversation without others around him as it was. Having to explain details as they continued would only serve to irritate him.

He entered a grand garden that was part of the temple there, ignoring the looks that were directed at him as he found the large pond that was incredibly well maintained. He walked out to the middle, standing on top of the water as he drew a large circle with his index finger.

The water outside of the circle was disturbed while the liquid inside of it stayed perfectly still, capturing his image for a few moments longer before swallowing him whole. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, already knowing that the transportation was rapid, yet at the same time very different from his own method.

His feet hit the ground of his destination, Mount Olympus. He also felt a large number of blades and spears pointed at his person, he cracked open an eye and looked at the people. They were a mixture of hero's that were able to live on the bottom of the mountain of the gods to protect it. His lips thinned as he stared at the path he had to take before walking forward, ignoring the splutters of those around him.

"H-h-halt!" One managed to get out in a somewhat commanding tone.

Naruto gazed at him, a faint interest in his eyes, or maybe it was just the direction of which the light was hitting them. He rolled his shoulders lightly and spread his wings out wide, watching as thee hero's jumped back out of the way, less than a moment later a bolt of lightning struck the path in front of the blonde, "Ah, it seems that they know that I am here now."

Everyone listened to thee rumbling sound that came near before the Pantheon came down from thee high clouds above, the hero's bowed deeply, sending out glares to the blonde who seemed defiant in their gaze, "Y-you should bow before your betters!"

Though what happened next froze them in place, Zeus, an older man with graying hair that came down to his shoulders, it was kept in place by a thin golden band, a white toga covering his body while his feet were covered by straw sandals. This was thee leader of the Pantheon, and the strongest being in existence to the hero's, thus when they saw him and those that followed him bow to the blonde stranger they were surprised, "You have changed my Prince," Came a surprisingly soft tone from the leader of the Pantheon.

"The situation has changed, thus I needed to as well, I can not save my people from tyranny if I can not change myself into a leader that is worthy of them... Zeus, does your Pantheon still follow me and my dream?" A strange look passed through the eyes of Naruto, like he was worried about the answer he was about to receive.

Zeus though took a strong step forward and clapped the boy on his shoulder, "Because of the state that Greece is in at the moment, we can not truly offer aid, though we still believe in you my Prince."

There was a small cough that drew their attention to someone in the back. She too was wearing a toga and sandals like Zeus was, though her skin was an olive in color as her hazelnut hair was pulled back into a wavy ponytail, her eyes were a pale blue that looked somewhat out of place on her body, though it caused you to be incredibly drawn towards them, "I have heard so much about the Prince, yet I never met him. Seeing as my acolytes have theirs orders and my temples are about learning not warfare, I see no issue with giving my own assistance to the Prince, as well as learning more about him at the same time."

A small giggle came a little further back from a beautiful redhead, she looked nearly the same as Naruto's mother once had only her hair was wavy and a brighter shade of red, it was, one of his grandmothers, Aphrodite, "Is little Athena pleased by the appearance of my handsome grandchild?"

Naruto rose a brow in the direction of the named Athena, "A new Goddess?" He questioned only for Zeus to give a hearty laugh.

"Indeed, one of my daughters, she might even be as smart as you my Prince," Zeus looked to his daughter and gave a wide smile, "Why don't you say hello to the true ruler of all that is known my dear?"

Athena rose a brow as she studied the blonde, "I am Athena, daughter of Z-"

"Zeus and Metis, the Titan Slayer and Titan respectively. The way that you hold yourself would pose the suggestion that you are confident with your abilities, yet from what I have seen, you only guide and have never made a large splash of your own... Otherwise you would have drawn more of my attention... Though you are offering your 'assistance', I can not truly see what you hold to offer me," Naruto rose a hand to his temple and rubbed it softly, "Your family has gotten much bigger since I saw you last Zeus. Though what did happen to Metis, was she not with you when you arrived to Earth?"

A pair of arms draped themselves over the blonde's shoulders as a set of perky breasts rubbed against his back, "Naruto... Why don't we save this boring talk for later no?"

"Aphrodite... I would prefer it if you kept your hands to yourself. I am no longer a child that needs to be coddled. In fact I find your current performance to be quite insulting. Also, because of the nature of your abilities and your 'wilder' tendencies I have had to talk multiple mates... Do you understand how difficult that has made my living arrangements, not to mention that I will need to explain all of this to Kerrigan... No, I believe that you can do that, that is if you wish to continue displays like this after all," He spoke calmly, though those in front could see the slight twitch in his brow.

Aphrodite though tightened her grip around her grandchild, though if one were to look at them without knowing that relationship, one may consider them to be close friends, or even lovers. They appeared to be the same age and it was clear that the woman found the male attractive, "Now that isn't very nice. Though if you are having trouble I could always show you some of my techniques to really help build the pleasure in the bedroom?"

Naruto clicked his fingers and a black bolt of lightning broke through the air calling out Lilith who appeared next to the blonde with a curious look, "Oh brother~ Did you finally call me for a threesome?"

The red-haired goddess blinked in shock at those words, as did many of the others around them, not knowing that there was a sibling to Naruto, "E-excuse me?" Aphrodite questioned in slight shock.

"Meet Lilith, this is what happens when I separate myself into half for too long," Naruto waved his hand in her general direction, "I don't need to say which half she was do I?"

"I would say that I was the better half, hearing the stories of what you did once we parted makes it sound so boring. Though I must admit, I do not remember our Grandmother being so beautiful," Lilith remarked licking her lips slightly.

Aphrodite widened her eyes before jumping off of Naruto and wrapping her arms around the black-haired beauty, groping every inch she could find, "Yes, yes you are differently a decedent of mine."

"To deal with a sexual deviant you need only to add another," Naruto remarked dryly before turning back to Athena, "Do you wish to come of your own will?"

"I do. As I said, I have heard tales of you, yet I actually know very little of you. From what I have heard, you are a tactical genius and have been for quite the number of years. I have also heard that you made great advancements back on our home planet, despite being so young, even going as far to be revered as an equal to the 'Dark Gods'," Athena explained simply blinking twice at the blonde, "So yes, I do find you interesting and offered myself to your cause, though I do not agree with the act of war, sometimes it is unavoidable, from what I have heard of Virgil, there is no other option."

Her words had caught everyone's attention, the 'Dark Gods' were not spoken about, and for a very good reason. While they made a large number of advancements, they were a stain on history, one that was erased by Kaguya. The majority of them anyway, Kaguya though could not bring herself to strike down her own sister and instead sent her to the void where she would be trapped for the rest of time.

Everyone knows of the Lady in the Void, yet very few actually know who she is. Naruto himself found out when he merged with the void, basicly it was kept to the royal line and those that lead the mythologies on Earth. Though it was more the fact that it seemed like the Pantheon did not know that Athena held that knowledge, about the 'Dark Gods' that is.

"Virgil is not dumb, he will be expecting me to build an army to go against him. It will be a war that will shake the foundations of our worlds once more. It is for that reason, that I brought a large amount of Gods from the core worlds with me, I hold no doubt that many more will join us as we approach, but this was the most that myself and Jiraiya could bring without making it seem far fetched for guard detail," Naruto felt a small pain in his chest at the mention of the white-haired male, he really did hate that he wasn't able to save his godfather, the person that had taken care of him for so long that he may as well have been his parent, "It also leads to the reason why I am here, two of them actually, the first was to check that you were still allied with me," He held up a finger and saw the Pantheon smile at him as if telling him it was a stupid question, "Okay then, and secondly, I need help building a power source that can handle the output of two capital ships."

Zeus widened his eyes in shock, "What could you be building that requires that much energy?"

"I am upgrading Omega."

The father of the Greek Pantheon let out a laugh, "I had thought that that machine was already perfect, at least that is the feeling we had from your previous game."

"Far from the truth," Naruto let out a small sigh, "I want to increase his power to that of a God-slaying class Golem."

"He isn't?" Zeus questioned in slight shock as many of the others also held the same look of surprise on their faces.

"No," The blonde male remarked with a slight shake of his head, "While he can fight on the level of Gods, his current power output is only at the level of a High-class nation ruler. Omega's sense of tactics and his whits in battle have allowed for him to make up this difference. I had made him at that level, purely so I knew that I could best him in combat if I absolutely had to. Now though, I can push his limits further and have, I just need a new power source."

Zeus stroked his beard in thought, he saw the confusion on his daughter's face, "Omega is a creation of the Prince. A Golem of sorts that fights by his side. It shows the pure level of skill that the Prince holds in crafting something that is able to mimic and learn combat from those it watches, twisting their styles and making it into its own unique type of combat to deal with any threats to the Prince. Ares fought against it once."

The mentioned orange haired god rubbed at a patch over his right eye, the tissue behind it holding a scared and empty socket, "The Prince can't have more than one, it's a good thing on that as well, Omega is stupidly smart, not quite at the level of the Prince... but having more than one would allow them a chance to rebel."

"Why is it called 'Omega'? Does that not mean the end?" Athena questioned, rightly so she believed as well.

"Because Omega signals the end of the match, when that Golem enters the field, the end is drawing near. Once Omega was created, along with Alpha and Beta, the Prince never lost a match," Zeus looked to the blonde who was giving a stoic expression, "Though I believe this talk of long ago is just a waste of time now?"

"Indeed. Athena... If you are ready gather your things and you shall come to my district in Heaven. Lilith, if you are done trying to grow a penis so that you can rape your grandmother, would you care to join me in our trip back?" Naruto waved his hand to the side and promptly felt the soft touch of his sister's fingers in his palm.

She gave him a sultry smile, "I will come whenever you call Brother," Lilith ran her hand down his arm, pausing at his neck before leaning inwards and nibbling lightly on his collarbone, "I have been a good girl haven't I?"

"You have..."

"I have also convinced Ajuka to come and help with Omega," She purred lightly rubbing her breasts against his chest.

"I haven't seen Ajuka in some time, it will be nice to catch up with him, between the three of us we should find an outcome," Naruto remarked, snaking an arm around the waist of Lilith, "What do you want?"

"I want a reward. One that you will find very, very nice for you as well Brother. We should talk about it later, in private okay?" Purred the demoness.

Naruto though rose a brow before inwardly shrugging, he would humor her. Athena vanished in a flash of light, claiming to be going to get her things, which left Naruto with the gods and Lilith once more, only now his grandmother decided to join his sister... Sometimes he disliked his family.


Heaven

Athena's feet hit the ground and her eyes went wide as she took in her surroundings. Not to mention she was also trying to ease her squeamish stomach from the rapid break down and rebuilding of her body from the method of transportation. The large golden pillars that stretched high into the sky, past the clouds and her line of sight were incredible. It was a sight that she couldn't describe with words alone, not to mention that the feeling this place gave off, it was like nothing mattered, it was so... peaceful.

There was a low whistle from her left, looking over she saw a strange man with green hair looking around just like she was, "It is brighter than I expected... So this is how the other side lives... Interesting, I wonder how they get work done if they always feel this good?"

"Ah you must be Ajuka and Athena, we have been waiting for you," A shorter blonde woman spoke kindly to them, behind them, as if watching over her shoulder was a silverette, "My name is Artis, behind me is Nona, we will be your guides."

Nona stared at Athena for a while before sighing, "I will take Ajuka around, you two titty girls can spend your time together..." She trotted forward before stopping in front of the mentioned male, "Naruto will be joining us at the end of the tour so to say, he was dragged into the Seraphim council as soon as he arrived back. Until then, we, his Arbiters shall take care of you."

Ajuka studied the woman in front of him for a few moments, "Sometimes these things happen, though I could understand Heaven's feelings on the matter at hand, having a Devil and a Greek Goddess appear in Heaven must shake things up a little no?"

"Oh... No, Gabriel and Grayfia got into a little spat when they heard that Athena was coming. It turns out that they are still rivals, even after all of this time," Nona pressed a pair of fingers into the side of her temple rubbing it lightly, "To be honest the Seraphim aren't all that worried about the two of you being here, they instead spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to tell Naruto to keep Grayfia and Gabriel under control..." Nona trailed off lightly as she grabbed onto Ajuka and Athena before dashing over to the other side of the room as the roof collapsed, "And someone insulted Grayfia..."

There was a light groan as a blonde-haired male stood up from the rubble, dusting himself off and pulling small bits from his hair and wiping away that which was stuck in his stubble, "A seraph shouldn't make comments like that Raphael," Came thee lecturing voice of Naruto as he floated down to the ground, lightly slapping the Seraph's cheek, "Now look at what you have done, putting on such a shameful display for our guests... Whatever will we do with you?"

"We should not mingle with the likes of them. We do not need it! With Father gone, we are the supreme! The Ultima-" He was cut off as a fist entered his stomach, spit flying out and splattering onto the pristine white clothing that Naruto was wearing, though it consisted of only a shirt and slacks, it still looked special.

"Raphael... We have decided to extend a branch of peace to the other factions... Going against this decision is treason to the Seraphim Council... Do we need to remind you of how traitors are dealt with? Surely you can remember Rebibael correct?" Naruto spoke calmly, though there was a certain edge in his voice, a commanding one that many were not used to, Nona herself having only heard it a time before, or maybe two.

Raphael lowered his head, refusing to meet his gaze, "... I may have spoken out of turn..."

Naruto nodded at his words, seemingly pleased with the answer he got, "Very well, all is forgiven, though a second time will not be. Do well to remember that... Uriel if you could please take Raphael to be treated, I believe that I have a few floors to repair before we can continue."

There was a bright flash as the two vanished leaving the guests alone with the arbiters once more, Nona let out a tired sigh, "We really should begin. We have prepared rooms for you in the restricted district, so you need not worry about being disturbed during your stay. Only those with the extended permission of Naruto are allowed to enter, and you have both made that rather exclusive list," She waved her hand lightly for Ajuka to follow, "We have been granted full access to the facilities of the restricted section for the tour, judging from the information I have on you, I believe we should start our tour from the research labs and continue through to the library."

Ajuka gave a small nod, "That sounds nice, though is everything okay? It seems like Naruto might be having a bit of trouble with the Seraphim council..."

"There are reasons for that, it is not my place to speak of them, though Naruto is more than capable of dealing with the issues that arise," With those final words Nona lead Ajuka away leaving Artis and Athena.

The blonde gave a nervous smile to the Goddess, "Please do not mind Nona... She is uh, a little stuck in her ways. She is a good person, honestly, though it can cause her a bit of trouble from time to time with the way she acts. In saying that, are you ready to begin Lady Athena?"

Athena looked around in confusion for a few moments, question was clear on her face, "I was under the impression that King Arthur resided in Heaven and worked for the Prince... Would I be able to meet with him before the tour starts?"

"Umm, you already have Lady Athena..." Artis gave a nervous chuckle as she scratched at the back of her head, "I am Arthur."

"Impressive, though this also makes me worried, is the Prince someone that will surround himself with only beautiful woman, even going as far as to turn men into the former?" The brunette tapped her lips a few times before frowning slightly.

Artis let out a squeak before frantically shaking her hands back and forth, "No, heavens no. It was just that women were not seen as worthy rulers, so I posed as a man... This isn't the first time a misunderstand like this has happened, but believe me, Naruto has been nothing but kind and understanding to my situation."

"The Prince of Chaos is sympathetic... I wouldn't have guessed that," Athena muttered more to herself than as a statement to Artis.

"The Prince of Chaos?" The young blonde questioned in confusion.

The blue-eyed brunette tilted her head to the side ever so slightly, "Do you not know who you serve?"

"Um, I know that Naruto isn't what he appears to be as well as that he is from a different planet, but other than that... no, I don't really know..." Artis looked away for a moment, did everyone but her know?

"The Prince comes from the family that rules over everything. The air you breathe belongs to them, the water around the planet does, as do the stars that litter the night's sky. Everything you see, everything you touch, is theirs. Prince Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Ōtsutsuki, is the rightful ruler, yet at the current time his Uncle, now dubbed Virgil Kin Slayer by the Pantheons, rules. He took the lives of Naruto's parents and because of his young age, Naruto had to give the throne to his Uncle, who quickly changed laws so that he would hold it until he is overthrown," Athena quickly explained watching as Artis listened with wide eyes.

"In short, you serve the true ruler of everything known, as do we all, even if Heaven does not know it yet," Athena gave a light wave of her hand, "Though I believe that you wished to show me around this 'Restricted Area'?"

Artis nodded her head lightly, still wrapping her mind around what she just found out, "I.. Yes, I plan on showing you to the bedrooms first, that way we can end the tour in the Libraries where I believe you may wish to spend an extended amount of tim-"

"There is no need. If I need to know something, I will merely barter with the Prince for the information."

The young Arbiter inwardly started to cry, it was all becoming too much for her, why did she get stuck with the Goddess who seemed to only want to do what she had pre-planned? Why couldn't she get Ajuka? He seemed so much easier going than Athena. A light bulb appeared over her head, "How about we do just a quick tour of the facilities and then we can spend a drawn out time in the baths?"

"I have experienced the baths of Olympus I-"

"These ones have the essence of Eden inside of them, "Her words seemed to strike a cord with the Goddess, which was good, even though it was a small lie in a sense, they had Naruto's essence, though he did create Eden, so maybe not.

"I shall let you lead me," Athena stated curtly, after all, none of her 'dearest' sisters could claim that they had bathed in the waters of Eden.


Grayfia and Gabriel had their heads bowed, even as the others exited the room. Directly in front of them sat Naruto, his eyes closed while Michael sat across from him. The two girls were kneeling in the middle of a circular room, it was the chambers of the Seraphim Council.

For Gabriel this was a change, normally she was on the outside of the circle, looking at the person speaking, not being the one looked at. To be honest the judgmental stares had greatly affected her during her case. Though they did have some right to this, after all level 3 and 4 of Heaven needed to be repaired after her little 'Spat' with Grayfia.

Michael was giving a nervous smile to those still in the room, namely; Gabriel, Himself, Grayfia and Naruto. Lilith had vanished, no one really knew where she went, at least Naruto didn't seem to panicked so she must have said something to him at some point.

Yet still that was how the situation stood at the current time, "We didn't mean to cause you such troubles Naruto-sama," Grayfia all but whispered out, but because of how quiet the room was, she may of well as shouted it to the well... Heavens.

"I understand that sometimes you just need to release yourself," Naruto started letting out a sigh. He to could get pent up frustration from time to time, "Just when such a time comes, please keep yourself to the Restricted Area. Fights that spill out into the rest of Heaven draw much to much attention to us all... We do not want for the lower ranked Angels to get the wrong idea and believe that we are under attack. The issue is not so much that your fight carried over into the lower districts, but more over the fact that it happened now. Peace, if we can even call that between the factions is so fragile that the slightest slip could fracture it permanently."

Gabriel flinched at his words, she hadn't thought like that, he had been working so hard to mend the damage caused to the bonds of the three factions, yet her fight with Grayfia that carried into the civilian districts could have been seen as a declaration of war by the Devils, and her continuation could have been seen as the signal to start.

Grayfia couldn't look up, if she did than she might see disappointment in his eyes, that was a look she did not want cast at her. She flinched as the sound of a chair moving was made, "Reflect on your actions. Michael, I believe you wanted to meet some of our allies?"

"That does sound like it could be a nice change of pace. I believe they should be in good moods after the tours given by your arbiters," The chief Seraph spoke calmly as a soft smile spread across his face.

Naruto gave a small nod as he opened the door, "I believe so, Nona doesn't think that Ajuka is a pain, so she is putting in some effort, while Artis has just gotten out of the baths with Athena."

"Ah, should I have someone prepare tea for us in the garden?"

"A sound idea Michael..." Naruto paused as he was about to close the door, his brow quirked slightly, "Are you two going to continue sitting there, or are you going to come with us?" He nearly had to jump back as blurs of silver and gold appeared on either side of him.

The door to the council chambers shut with a soft click as the strange shoes of Naruto scuffed ever so lightly against the floor, almost like the kiss of a butterflies wings against the soft skin of someone basking in a meadow.

Grayfia was just as soft in her strides, ghosts would strain their hearing just to check if these people were actually touching the ground. It was something that Naruto had drilled into them. Their feet and body should be light at all times, so at any moment you can dodge, dip or weave out of a fatal blow.

Though the silverette had grown much to accustomed to life in Heaven, the food was much better than what she was used to, not to mention she was often forced out of her self imposed role of 'maid'. She found it hard to believe that she was once only a servant girl to the long time friend of her current lover. She inwardly grit her teeth, biting back the feeling, how had they been friends? What could have possibly happened to turn an angel so damned crooked?

It was a thought she often found herself drawn towards. She had heard that it was because of Naruto that he became like that, that he had just been 'made' wrong. Made from her lover's 'dark side'. Though Lilith was a being made from entirely that side, not just the leftovers, the raven-haired woman seemed far from evil.

'Jealousy'

A whisper, ever so faint reached her ears. There was a strong chance that Lucifer knew full well that Lilith was a portion of Naruto, a perfect half of his soul, did Lilith turn him into that wretched creature she once knew? The raven-haired woman that wanted nothing more than to share the bed of the being she came from.

Apparently Lilith had loved Lucifer at a time, her hatred only came for him when he stole her child and locked her away. It made for a large amount of confusion, this Lilith was not the one she knew. No, the Lilith she knew, as far as Grayfia could tell, had been Lilith's daughter. Lucifer had given her the same name as her mother and used her to replace the empty space that had appeared, even though Lilith loved him.

Was he that scared that she would turn against him? Turn against him like Jiraiya had? Like Naruto, Michael, Gabriel and all the other Angels had? Why did such a thing happen?

'Obsession'

Again, the whisper came. Though it didn't make sense, what could he have obsessed over so much that he was banished from heaven?

Her lips pursed ever so lightly in thought, she dare not speak of it to the others, any talk about Lucifer was quickly diverted away. It was clear that they didn't like to talk about him, yet even still Naruto still called the man his friend.

It left an awkward feeling in her chest, making her wonder, just what Lucifer did to earn the wrath of everyone in heaven, yet to still be called a friend by the one who should be ruling the plane.

The one who should be ruling the plane... That was Naruto, yet, despite how everyone felt he would not stand up and take the place of Jiraiya. It was something that she could not understand, or was it perhaps that he was still mourning for the losses that came from the Great War?

She looked at his back, it was wide and made you feel protected, yet... he was missing something.


PA: And there is the fullstop, this chapter was focused on flushing out a few of the other characters and introducing some, like Lucifer, just cause he is dead don't mean that his part is over. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

So what do you think of Athena, she has made her way onto the stage... Poor Artis, she really didn't get much luck this chapter did she?

Also for Athena I was trying to give her a smart yet snobby-ish kind of attitude, like not full blown, but also enough that you might go 'Is it just me or is she kinda a bitch?' sort of thing, I don't know if that fully came across right, but yeah she is interested in Naruto because she has never met him, yet always heard stories of the 'Rightful Heir' and such like from her father.

Also I started going pretty deep into the different mythologies, like even deeper than before, and I realized something... These gods just fuck anything, like they don't even seem to care after a certain point.

And with that charming piece I shall leave you to your things, P.A out!
