Naruto X Dxd Shadow Emperor

Ch-9 (Familiar)

As a few weeks passed, Naruto found himself immersed in the daily routine of Kuoh Academy. The bustling hallways, lively classrooms, and the constant announcements over the school's intercom made him inwardly sigh. In Naruto's opinion, the school environment was quite annoying, but he reassured himself with the mantra, "All for the sake of the mission."

Naruto navigated through the academic challenges, keeping a low profile while maintaining focus on his primary objective. He attended classes, participated in mundane school activities, and interacted with his peerage members and other students. Despite his nonchalant attitude, Naruto couldn't shake the feeling of being an outsider in this unfamiliar world.

Kimiko, Shikamaru, Shigemi, and Seiko, who had also enrolled in Kuoh Academy, adapted to the routine with varying degrees of interest. Shikamaru, known for his laziness, often found himself complaining about the troublesome nature of academic life. Shigemi, with her elegant demeanor, maintained a quiet presence, observing the dynamics of the school.

Seiko, the elf, showcased her adaptability, seamlessly blending into the student body. Kimiko, though relatively new to the supernatural world, managed to balance her studies and interactions, proving her capability as a valuable member of Naruto's peerage.

Through the monotony of school life, Naruto kept a watchful eye on the unfolding events, knowing that the calm surface often concealed hidden dangers. The mission to protect Kuoh City and Sealing the Gate remained his top priority, motivating him to endure the annoyances of daily school life.

One day, Naruto and his peerage learned about the various clubs in Kuoh Academy. Seeing that Sona and Rias had their own clubs, Naruto decided that he wanted a place of his own. Refusing to join the Occult Research Club as suggested by Sona and Rias, Naruto and his group took over the Drama Club. Shigemi used her magic to modify the memories of the entire school, making them believe that Naruto was the founder of the newly established Drama Club. From that day forward, Naruto and his group became known as the Drama Club members

One day, Rias Gremory extended an invitation to Naruto and his group to join her and her peerage at school for a casual gathering. Naruto, along with Kimiko, Shikamaru, Shigemi, and Seiko, accepted the invitation. As they arrived at the school, they were greeted by the familiar faces of Rias, Issei, Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, and the rest of the Gremory peerage.

The Base of ORC became the setting for this unexpected meeting. The students from both groups exchanged friendly greetings, forming a mix of supernatural beings, each with their own unique characteristics.

Naruto, maintaining his calm and collected demeanor, offered a nod of acknowledgment. "Good to see you all again," he said with a small smile.

Rias reciprocated the sentiment, "Likewise, Naruto. It's been a while."

Issei, always enthusiastic, chimed in, "Hey, Naruto-san! How's it going?"

Kimiko, Shikamaru, Shigemi, and Seiko exchanged pleasantries with the members of Rias's peerage. The atmosphere was surprisingly congenial, given the diverse backgrounds and supernatural nature of those present. Little did they know that this gathering would set the stage for new friendships and unexpected adventures in the days to come.

During the conversation, Issei couldn't help but express his curiosity. "Hey, Naruto, I've got some questions for you. Last night, Rias and Sona asked me about all the people you've met, the gates you've sealed, and how many strong opponents you've defeated. They want to know how strong you actually are."

Naruto, maintaining his calm demeanor, replied, "Well, I've been around, you know? Sealing gates, taking care of business. As for strength, I'd like to think I can handle myself pretty well." He offered a nonchalant smile, leaving an air of mystery around his true capabilities.
