Naruto: the black dragon emperor

Chapter 16 Asia becomes a devil and Rias despairs

Occult Club

In the center of the Occult Research Club's main room, a large magic circle glowed brightly before fading, revealing the group of protagonists—minus one. The Datenchi had already returned to Naruto's house. As the light dimmed, Naruto carefully placed Asia's lifeless body onto a nearby table.

"We're back," Rias said, her commanding voice breaking the silence. "Is anyone injured?" She scanned her peerage with a sharp gaze.

"Tsubaki and I are fine. No need to worry," Sona replied with her usual calmness. Then, with a pointed look at Rias, she added, "But you might want to hear what Naruto-Kun has to say."

"Right." Rias turned to face Naruto, but before he could speak, Issei raised his hand.

"Yes, Issei?" Rias asked, a flicker of irritation in her tone.

"Buchou, I've got several wounds from those light swords," Issei smirked, clearly hoping for some special healing. "Could you, uh, please take care of me?"

Without missing a beat, Rias replied flatly, "Akeno, heal Issei."

"Of course, Buchou," Akeno said sweetly, moving towards Issei. The boy's imagination went wild, but his excitement quickly deflated when Akeno began healing him with magic in plain sight of everyone.

"This won't take long, Issei. Stay still," Akeno said with a serene smile, ignoring his disappointed expression.

Meanwhile, Koneko spoke up, her deadpan voice cutting through the moment. "Senpai, could you continue with your request?"

Naruto nodded, his demeanor shifting to something more serious. "Rias, I need you to reincarnate Asia as one of your demons." His calm but firm tone took everyone by surprise. "Let me be clear—this isn't about serving you. I want her alive. I do have another way to bring her back, but it would drain nearly all my life's energy. That's not a risk I can take right now."

Kiba bristled, anger flashing in his eyes. "Is this some kind of joke?" he snapped. "You're acting like reviving someone is as easy as breathing. Stop spouting nonsense."

"Kiba-san, calm down," Akeno said gently, stepping in before things escalated. "Naruto has already shown us enough to believe in his abilities."

Rias folded her arms, her crimson hair gleaming in the dim light. "Very well, Naruto. I'll reincarnate her, but in return, she'll be part of my peerage. She will fulfill her duties as my servant. Understood?"

"That's fine," Naruto replied evenly. "But I have a few conditions."

Rias raised an eyebrow but nodded. "Go on."

"First, Asia will live with me," Naruto stated firmly. "Second, you and everyone else in this club will treat her with respect. If I see otherwise, I'll personally tear this building apart."

Rias hesitated but nodded again, a flicker of unease crossing her face. "Agreed. And the third?"

Naruto's expression darkened, his bright eyes narrowing. "Most importantly, I don't want Issei anywhere near her. If he tries to get close, there will be consequences."

"What?" Issei burst out, clearly offended. "You can't just—"

"Issei," Rias interrupted, her voice sharp. "I accept Naruto's terms. But Naruto, what exactly happens if Issei doesn't follow this rule?"

Naruto smirked coldly. "Do you remember what happened to Dohnaseek?"

The room went silent as the weight of his words sank in. Even Rias shivered slightly, recalling the brutal fate of the Fallen Angel.
