Hello guys. This is a lame idea I came up with after months of hiatus. I just suddenly want to write something again and can't stop myself so here it is.

Be warned though, like A Nephilim's Tale, this 'Naruto' may not really in of character. However, he isn't that out of character too as I depict this 'Naruto' as an experienced commander, a veteran soldier, a passionate teammate and a good friend overall.

My knowledge about DxD is limited so sometimes I will think up something to cover my lame story or just shamelessly change the DxD world to suit my story. You can point it out as you like, as I also want to know more and learn more about DxD.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything used in this fanfic.

ReLIFE: Highschool DxD - Paradox

Prologue

*cough*

Lying in his own pool of blood, a blond youth coughed up blood as he blankly stared at the starless night sky above. It had been a hard and long fight but he had managed to do win, THEY had managed to win even if the price was too much. The blond weakly brought the edge of his bloody lips up in an attempt to smirk when he remembered Trihexa's struggle after falling into their trap. Even if the Beast of The Apocalypse was considered God-Like with its unlimited power and whatnot, against the alliance of the whole supernatural side, defeating it was doable.

However… as he had mentioned before, the price for that was too much…

There were millions of casualties and among them was his entire peerage who had fought valiantly and died a heroic death. His Queen had sacrificed herself to block a devastating surprise attack coming from Trihexa when the giant beast became enraged. He had watched her form slowly turned into particles of light due to using her soul to fuel the defensive barrier before she completely vanished into thin air.

His first Rook was next on the list and he didn't even know how he had lost her. He had only realized it after their soul link disappeared. But now that his mind was clear since he was near the door of death, he remembered that she had gone together with a group of close-quarter fighter to the very frontline when the battle began. He didn't want to think of that possibility, but she had mostly likely been trampled on when Trihexa began its mad rampage.

His second Rook who realized that the battle would be lost if Trihexa continued its rampage had also chosen to sacrifice herself to trap the giant beast in a Time-Stop Barrier. Her valiant effort and heroic sacrifice had bought the Alliance 3 minutes to lunch a counterattack against the giant beast.

Next was his one and only Pawn whose power could easily be comparable to his Queen if she was in her true form. During the 3 precious minutes bought with the life of his Rook, his Pawn had charged straight up to Trihexa in her true form and forced it into a brawl with her while also receiving various magic attacks from their Alliance. However, The Beast of The Apocalypse had proven to be too much even for a legendary beast like her to handle in a 1-on-1 fight and in the end, he could only watch her being torn apart and devoured while keeping his tears back and continue the assault.

Thankfully, the battle went pretty smooth after that but instead of accepting its defeat, Trihexa had mustered up all of its power to fire a devastating attack at the alliance. And that was how his last remaining peerage member died. When Trihexa was still charging the ball of immeasurable power in his maw, his Knight had activated her Balance Breaker and flew straight into its gaping mouth, successfully stopping the giant beast from firing its breath attack but with her life as the price.

The battle quickly came to an end after that with Trihexa being unable to attack with its breath anymore since its inside was heavily damaged. However, the damage inflicted on the Alliance side was still massive which just proven why Trihexa was comparable to Great Red and Ophis.

*cough*

Another bloody cough and the blond felt his vision becoming more and more hazy as time went on. He knew that he only had in him one last breath. However, instead of crying in sorrow when the thought of dying crossed his mind, the blond smiled. He had lived his life without many regrets and at this very moment when he was about to die, he could proudly say that he was satisfied with it.

'…Ah…Rias…' Images of a beautiful red hair young woman appeared in his head causing him to widen his eyes, although weakly since he didn't have much energy left in him. The smile completely disappeared from his face as the thought of leaving behind his wife and his unborn child saddened him to no end. But even if he wanted to hang on, he couldn't. His injuries were too fatal to be cured even with Phenex's Tears.

*cough*

At least, she could live in a new, peaceful world now that The Three Factions had finally agreed on a peace treaty, putting an end to the long lasting Great War. And the Haagenti House would still be able to continue on with her as the next House Head and the child in her stomach too, would one day lead the house to glory. With her friends around, Rias would surely overcome his death in no time.

Now that he thought about it, the Sekiryuutei was still around too. Although the young man was a little pervert, with him around, he wouldn't need to worry about Rias. If it was with that man… even if Rias wanted to move on, he wouldn't get angry at her. The long life of a devil would get boring and lonely without a partner after all...

...But, even after deciding that it was for Rias's happiness, a corner of his heart felt pained at the image of Rias standing together with Issei...

'...I...see…' Naruto thought to himself as he slowly closed his eyes, a bitter smile on his face. Devils are sinful creatures which grow stronger the more they take after an aspect of The Seven Deadly Sins. For example, a devil who took after the aspect of Lust would grow stronger the more mates he had while a devil who took after the aspect of Gluttony would gain power from eating. As for the blond man, his aspect was Greed. As long as he still greed after something, as long as he never stop striving for more, he would never stop growing.

And because he was greedy, he wasn't satisfied with the ending he just got. He wanted more… The last image which popped up in his head was a peaceful and happy scene in which he was standing together with his peerage, Rias and his child…

Day XX, Month XX, Year 20XX, Naruto Haagenti aka The Last Haagenti and Vice Commader of DxD breathed his last breath on the final battlefield against the Beast of The Apocalypse, Trihexa.

He died a Hero.

The short Prologue end here.
