"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A single sweat drop fell off of Naruto's forehead as he looked down a set of stairs nervously. This was not what he was expecting to do today. Yasaka had dragged him up a set of stairs, which led to a large temple. In said temple, he was then dragged up another set of stairs, which led him to the big golden pillow he was sitting on. Apparently, this was where Yasaka would usually be sitting as the Queen/Leader of the West Youkai Faction. Instead, she was sitting on a slightly less extravagant pillow to his right, with a young girl, who looked almost like a mini-Yasaka sitting next to her.
However, neither the beautiful woman next to him nor the extravagant pillow under him was what was making him nervous. It was the large collection of Youkai officials sitting at the bottom of the stairs staring up at him intensely. By large collection, he meant the entirety of the West Youkai Faction's government, and even some of their family members. Word had spread quickly about the "Youkai God" arriving. He would've been surprised if word didn't spread quickly, considering Yasaka had dragged him down the busiest road in the city excitedly. He suspected the citizens of the city rarely even saw Yasaka, considering she was the Queen and all, much less saw their Queen dragging the "Youkai God" down the street.
"Welcome everyone," Yasaka started, sitting up straight and looking down at the gathered officials. The air in the room shifted, and suddenly Yasaka looked much more dignified and authoritative. She looked much different than the excited young woman who dragged him through the city, and looked much more like a Queen, "You have probably already heard the news, and know why I'm holding this emergency meeting. This is Naruto Uzumaki, the Youkai God, and he's come to save us from our current situation. Please, refer to him as Kami-sama."
Now, no one could ever say Naruto Uzumaki was stupid. He may have failed his graduation exam 3 times, but he made up for his lack of school smarts in other areas. You could never call Naruto Uzumaki stupid, but, right now he was confused, lost in a new world, suddenly made a God, and really hungry for ramen. So, while Naruto Uzumaki was not stupid, his response most certainly was as the entire West Youkai Faction's government and their Queen stared at him expectedly.
"Um… don't call me that? Naruto is fine." Naruto answered with a big smile, only realizing the next day, after a well-deserved nap, that now would've been the perfect time to refute that he wasn't actually the "Youkai God" while he had the entire government's attention.

The look Naruto received from the various government officials was almost comical, as they looked at him in disbelief or obvious discomfort. What they were so uncomfortable with, Naruto wasn't sure, but his question was soon answered.
"Kami-sama is very humble, but refer to him as Kami-sama or you will be executed." Yasaka said as she smiled sweetly at the officials, all of whom nodded rapidly in unison. Did they choreograph that?

"Now, about the situation, Kami-sama. I'm sure I don't need to explain it to someone such as yourself, so I will not take up any more of your precious time than necessary." Yasaka said, looking at him expectedly. He found himself the recipient of the entire room's eyes again.
I have no idea what situation you're talking about, crazy lady. Naruto thought in exasperation.
Naruto glanced across the room comically slow as he thought, taking far more time than necessary to look over at Yasaka. He was sure he looked like a moron, but he needed to think.
I have two options here. Admit I have no idea what they're talking about, or use Talk-no-Jutsu to figure out what's going on. I need to help them to complete that quest and get closer to seeing my friends, and to not die, so figuring out the situation might be the best option, Naruto thought, showcasing that despite how stupid he looked taking 5 minutes, not an exaggeration, to gaze across the room and lock eyes with Yasaka, he was not actually stupid.
What Naruto didn't know was that he looked anything but stupid to the rest of the room. Each official at the bottom straightened their back as Naruto's gaze ran over them, sweat dripping down their backs.
His stare is so intense! One official, Fuji, thought as Naruto stared at him for an entire minute straight while thinking. We only locked eyes for a second, but it felt as if an entire minute passed!
Eventually, Naruto's eyes locked with Yasaka's. His mouth opened to answer, "..." then closed as he considered his words carefully, trying to think of both a way to figure out what they were talking about without them realizing he had no idea about the situation, and how to do so without another crazy misunderstanding happening.
Naruto's eyes stayed locked with Yasaka's for nearly an entire minute, and in that time Yasaka saw her future. A wedding dress. 10 children with fox whiskers and fluffy tails. Kunou helping her little sister with her homework. All of them sitting around a table sharing a meal as Naruto and Yasaka sat at the head, watching them eat fondly.

Yasaka blinked as the vision disappeared and Naruto finally spoke, "Should we be discussing this with a child in the room? This is a serious matter." He said as he gestured to Kunou. Naruto Uzumaki was not stupid, but he was stalling for time to come up with a plan.
Kunou:

Kunou is the daughter of Yasaka, and the Princess of the West Youkai Faction. She is being educated and trained to eventually take over ruling of the West Youkai Faction from her mother.
"Don't worry about Kunou, Kami-sama! She already knows about the situation, my handmaidens have been educating her all about it to help her prepare for when she takes over as Queen one day!" Yasaka hurriedly told him, her face completely red for reasons unknown to Naruto. Behind her, Kunou nodded rapidly in agreement.
"Um… well, she should explain it so I can be sure we're all on the same page. It wouldn't be good if she misunderstood something and was confused about what I'm going to say, or if you guys didn't know as much as I do!" Naruto said, speaking quicker towards the end as he spit out an excuse.
There's no way this works… Sakura would smack me if I tried making such a stupid excuse to her.

"Yes! Of course Kami-sama, how wise of you! I'm the one at fault for assuming we knew as much about this as you do, Kami-sama! I'm ashamed." Yasaka said, blushing and then looking at Kunou, "Please explain the situation, Kunou."
"Yes, Kaa-san!" Kunou said, sitting up straighter and holding her head up proudly. It was cute how she puffed up her chest in an attempt to look more dignified.
"Our species as a whole is in danger due to the Neekoshoo incident-"
"Nekoshou." Yasaka gently corrected her.
"Ahem, yes, Nekoshou," Kunou said, her face beet red, "As I was saying, our species as a whole is in danger due to the Nekoshou incident. While the Youkai species is broken into many different factions, there has been an unspoken agreement between the Youaki and the devils that any Youkai are safe to be citizens in the underworld. Recently, a Nekoshou by the name of Kookoo-"
"Kuroka." Yasaka corrected her again, this time glancing over at her handmaiden, the one who Naruto assumed educated Kunou, with an annoyed look on her face. Said handmaiden suddenly became very interested in a loose thread on the pillow she sat on.
"Kuroka," Kunou continued, "killed her master, as she had been reincarnated as a devil in his peerage, after going crazy with power from her senjutsu. Her master was a pureblood devil, a part of the 72 pillars, which caused her to become an SS-Class wanted criminal in the underworld. This has enabled many devils to slaughter Youkai, using the excuse that they believed it was Kuroka, or that the Youkai had gone crazy with power."
The idea of going crazy with power from using senjutsu seemed stupid to Naruto, but he realized it was plausible with how toxic the natural energy in this world was. He'd felt it in the forest, and while all it did to him was make it a bit more difficult to utilize chakra, he could see how someone more sensitive to chakra and with less control could have issues with it.
"Roughly 50% of the total Youkai population is residing in the underworld, and over half of them have been killed by devils. The government is closely guarding the exits from the underworld, and all Youkai have been banned from leaving until they capture Kuroka. Thousands of Youkai are trapped in the underworld, and are being killed mercilessly." Kunou said, looking down slightly. Many of the officials clenched their fists, and Yasaka looked ashamed.
Naruto's next words slipped out without him realizing, completely forgetting he was supposed to know about this in his anger, "Why isn't anyone helping them?"
Luckily for him, everyone in the room collectively thought that he was testing Kunou's knowledge on the subject.
"The cease-fire between the 3 great factions, the devils, church, and Grigori, is tentative and could break at any moment. Neither the church nor the Grigori are willing to risk war with the devils. Any other faction is too weak to try anything, so the only options for help come from sacred gear users or fellow Youkai. Sacred gear users, at least those strong enough to help, like Longinus users, are all either a part of a faction, missing, or unwilling to do anything that doesn't benefit them. As for fellow Youkai," She glanced at Yasaka nervously, who nodded in encouragement at her.
"As for fellow Youkai," Kunou started again, "We're scattered into different factions, some at war with each other, so it'd be impossible to unite them all. The West Youkai Faction is the strongest group, but with how poisonous nature's energy has gotten over the past few hundred years, mainly from the Great War and the World Wars, Youkai in general are much weaker, and the more powerful ones risk going insane by using their whole power. Kaa-san has enough control over the Leyline's to fight, but, with the toxic energy limiting her, she wouldn't be able to stand up to even one of the Maou anymore. Even then, she's much weaker outside of Kyoto, so she couldn't go to the underworld to help."
"Hmmph, I could still take a Maou." Yasaka said, head tilted slightly upwards in arrogance with her eyes closed, though one eye was opened slightly as she looked at Naruto to see his reaction, hoping he was impressed.
"Leyline's?" Naruto inquired, his focus on thinking of a solution rather than remembering that he was supposed to know what those were. Of course, everyone in the room conveniently was lost in thought and forgot about that.
Kunou cutely held up a finger and closed her eyes, as if she was a student trying to remember an answer after the teacher called on her, "Lines of energy that run under Kyoto. Due to the huge Youkai and supernatural population here, they are some of the strongest Leyline's in the world. Kaa-san can control them and use the energy to fight."
"What if someone could purify the energy in the Leylines, young Kunou?" Naruto asked, stroking his chin with his finger to look smarter than he really was. It worked, as in everyone else's eyes he suddenly looked like a wise old man.
"That would be impossible, Kami-sama," Yasaka answered instead of Kunou, "but if someone did, then it would allow me to defend Kyoto much better. With the help of the other supernatural creatures living here, it would be defensible against even the devils, as they wouldn't be so brazen as to send all the Maou or their army and leave the underworld undefended and open to an attack from the church or Grigori. However, it wouldn't help the Youkai trapped in the underworld, as I can't access the Leyline's outside of Kyoto."
Naruto closed his eyes, sensing the energy around him. He could feel the massive streams of energy flowing through the ground, all headed to a single point. This building. He could see why Yasaka made her base of operations here, at the center of the Leyline's. However, with all the energy flowing, he could also feel all the poison and toxicity flowing through it. He clenched a fist, and heard everyone around him shuffle slightly as he abruptly entered sage mode. He placed both of his hands on the floor, letting the energy run into his right hand. He felt the poisonous energy enter his body, before being quickly consumed as it combined with his own chakra. His pure chakra shone like the sun, burning away the toxicity. The energy flowed through him, before leaving back into the ground through his left hand. The new energy, bright and pure, continued the job, burning away the poisonous energy around it as it reentered the Leyline.
Around him, everyone sat still and watched in awe. Naruto's body glowed bright yellow as he purified the energy. Yasaka herself could feel the pure energy entering the Leylines again, and was in awe.
He's purifying the energy! His is so pure, so bright, like the sun! Yasaka thought, feeling more powerful than ever.
Every Youkai in the room could feel it. The warm energy flowing around them. Flowing into their bodies. Purifying the toxic energy in them. They never knew natural energy could be so bright, so pure, so powerful!
Naruto wasn't sure how long it took him to purify all the energy. It could've been only a few minutes, or it could've been an entire day, but no one else in the room knew either. They lost sight of the world itself as they stared at his glowing form. The many different Youkai in the room thought many different things, but there was one common thought among them.
Youkai God.
If there was any doubt in anyone's mind before, it was completely gone. This was the Youkai God, here to save them.
When Naruto felt all the energy in the Leyline's was purified, he opened his eyes to another surprise.

Title gained! [Sage]
Naruto blinked at the huge amount of reputation he just got. While purifying energy was certainly impressive, something only sages or powerful chakra users could do back in his world, he didn't realize it was this impressive. This was way more than he had gained doing anything else before. He still didn't know what reputation did. Was there a way to see how much he had in total with each group? A tutorial about it maybe? He'll have to look into that, and his new title, later.
"That… that was amazing!" Yasaka breathed out excitedly, staring in awe at Naruto. She felt powerful. More powerful than ever before. Even before the Great War she had never been this powerful. She felt like she could take Sirzechs and Serafall at the same time right now. She clearly wasn't the only one feeling it, as at the bottom of the stairs the various officials were clenching and unclenching their fists in awe, some throwing a few mock punches into the air. A man even grabbed a nearby handmaiden, attempting to kiss her in happiness, only to receive a lump on his head. Even Kunou seemed in awe at her new strength.
"So, that'll make it a lot easier to defend this place. Next, I'll purify all the energy in the underworld so the Youkai in there can fight back while we figure out a plan to save them. That should work for now, right? I need some ramen first though, purifying that much energy made me even hungrier, I'm starving now!" Naruto said, standing up and stretching. He turned around, and was greeted with the sight of every Youkai's jaw on the floor.

Reviews are welcome! No flames please, I'm just writing this for fun. Thanks for all the kind reviews on the first chapter, I wasn't going to write another one for a few days but reading through them inspired me to write this one today. This chapter was fun to write, less comedy focused, but we'll be getting into some action and comedy in the next one, as well as finally exploring the reputation system. Thanks for reading!

"Talking"
Note: The "Yokai" in DxD are actually "Youkai". This is not a spelling mistake, and I'll be changing any "yokai" in previous chapters to "Youkai." (Also this is my favorite chapter so far, enjoy!)
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why are you here?" Naruto asked, his face completely deadpan as he stared at the Super-Devil sitting across from him with a comically small teacup in his hand.

Sirzechs Lucifer is one of the 4 Maou who rule the underworld. He holds the title of the strongest living devil.
Naruto wasn't happy when Yasaka awoke him early in the morning, before the sun had even fully risen, telling him that there was a guest here to see him. He wanted to look through his quest rewards, but that would have to wait for later. He was even less happy that she gave him no warning about who the guest was.
Why is he here to see me anyway? Aren't you the Queen of this place?
Yasaka sat a few feet to his right, and there was a small army of youkai guards in the room. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife as they stood ready to fight at the slightest bit of aggression from Sirzechs.
"I was just checking out the neighborhood before I moved in, and thought it would be nice to meet some of my soon-to-be neighbors!" Sirzechs said, smiling widely at him and holding out his hand for a handshake.
"Oh, that's very thoughtful of you. It's always polite to greet your neighbors and get to know them before you move in." Naruto said, nodding and shaking the strongest devil's hand, before pausing as he processed what the man said. He retracted his hand.
"Neighbors?" He asked, staring at Sirzechs like he was crazy.
"Yup! Nice to meet you, neighbor!" Sirzechs said, seemingly seeing nothing wrong with his statement.
"Why would you possibly want to move near us? Don't you have the underworld to rule?" He asked, resisting the urge to rub the bridge of his nose. He felt like he was dealing with a bunch of children ever since he arrived in this world. Is this how Kakashi felt?
I'm sorry, Kakashi-sensei, for every stupid thing I did as a child. I feel your pain.
"Well, I need a new home, and this area looked nice!" Sirzechs responded, and then looked to the side shyly with a slight blush on his face, prompting all the youkai guards to tense at his movement, "Also, my sister is a huge fan. Could I have an autograph for her?"
Naruto felt a headache form as a hundred different questions popped into his mind, "First off, why do you need a new home, and why here of all places? Aren't we enemies?"
Naruto felt annoyed at the look Sirzechs gave him, somehow managing to keep a kind smile on his face as he looked at Naruto like the question he asked was stupid, "Obviously, I can't live in the underworld anymore, so I need a new house! As for your second question, why would we be enemies?"
Sirzechs leaned in and cupped his hands around his mouth, as if he telling a huge secret, "Don't tell anyone, but I'm also a big fan. I need to keep up my cool image in front of Rias, but I've read your manga 3 times already!"
Naruto sighed, looking to Yasaka for support, but she was suddenly very interested in wiping a speck of dirt off the floor.
She knows something about this. Damn traitor.
Naruto cleared his throat, "Of course, I know exactly what you're talking about. However, my good friend here," Naruto glanced over at one of the youkai guards and gestured to him with his hand, trying to find out his name.
Youkai Guard [Lvl 120]
He's such a side character that I can't even see his name.
"Greg," Naruto made up a name on the spot, "is pretty sheltered, so you should explain so he knows as well."
"Ah, my name isn't Greg-" The youkai guard in question tried to speak up.
"Yes it is." Naruto cut him off.

Greg's eyes widened as he experienced a flashback of all the major moments in his life. His first girlfriend. Graduating from university. Being chosen to be one of Yasaka's honored guards. Meeting his current wife for the first time. He still remembered the meeting vividly.
She was a barista at Starbucks, and she'd asked him how to spell his name. He'd laughed, telling her that he understood, as Greg was a complicated name to spell since it could be spelled multiple ways. He regaled her on how his name was passed down through generations in his family, and they'd hit it off from there.
"Of course it is, Kami-sama. Thanks for considering my thoughts, but I already know what Sirzechs-sama is talking abo-" Greg tried to say before he was cut off.
"Shush, Greg, no you don't. Stop interrupting now, it's incredibly rude." Naruto cut him off.

Greg nodded as his knowledge about the current situation vanished from his head.
"To refer to him as your friend, he must be one of the guards who assisted you in your battle with Zekram! Can I have an autograph from him too? For my sister, of course." Sirzechs said, coughing lightly as he blushed.
Greg wasn't one of the guards who went with Naruto to the underworld, but he was too afraid to interrupt again, so he nodded rapidly.
"As for why I can't live in the underworld, it's quite simple, Greg. During the Youkai God's battle with Zekram, his godly aura was too strong, and purified all the energy in the underworld! The energy is too full of light for any devils or fallen angels to survive down there for long, so we're all moving to the overworld!" Sirzechs explained, before reaching into his long robe and pulling out a paper book, "You can read all about it in this manga! I'm surprised you haven't read it yet, Greg, it's the all-time best-selling manga among the supernatural! Here's a copy."
A manga about my fight with Zekram, and a best-seller? The fight was only yesterday!
Naruto reached out his hand, intercepting Sirzechs in his attempt to hand the manga to the newly dubbed Greg. They both stared at him questioningly.
Naruto's mind raced for an excuse, "I'll keep this for now so I can autograph it for you later, Greg."
He didn't even need the system's help this time, as they bought his excuse. Greg nodded gratefully and Sirzechs looked at him in jealousy.
Naruto looked at the cover, which showcased a shirtless version of himself clashing with Zekram. They were in a beam clash, with his Rasengan smashing into Zekram's Power of Destruction. He flipped over the book, reading the summary on the back.
Based on the true story of the Youkai God's clash with Zekram Bael! A thrilling romance, in which the sexy Youkai God takes on the King of the Underworld to save his lover, the Youkai Queen, Yasaka!
Naruto's eyes skimmed the back covering, wondering how the book came to be. The back was covered in advertisements for the upcoming anime adaptation: The Youkai God's Bizzare Adventure by studio Nappa, but towards the bottom Naruto found the culprit.
Story details provided by the Youkai Queen, Yasaka.
"Yasaka," Naruto said, turning slowly to look at the Youkai Queen. She pretended not to hear him.
"Yasaka," He said again, staring directly into the back of her head.
"Yes, Kami-sama?" She said, turning towards him and whistling innocently.
"Why did you make a manga about what happened yesterday?" He asked, sighing and rubbing the bridge of his nose. He felt like Iruka now.
"Well, you see, Kami-sama," She said, avoiding making eye contact with him, "Konou wanted to know about what happened since she couldn't come with us, so I commissioned a manga to be made."
"A manga about how I fought Zekram to save my lover," Naruto said, deadpanned.
"Welllllllll…" Yasaka said, drawing out the word guilty, "I might have gotten excited and exaggerated the details."
"Did you have to make a manga about it? You couldn't just tell her about it as a bedtime story?" Naruto asked, exasperated.
"I'm very glad you did, Yasaka!" Sirzechs said, drawing Naruto's attention back to him. "You've helped us see how cool the Youkai God is, and the tense relationship between the Youkai and devils is fixed! You've become one of the biggest supernatural icons, Kami-sama!"
Naruto sighed, "That's good, but please just call me Naruto. You're the leader of a whole species."

"Nope, I like Kami-sama better!" Sirzechs said with a smile.
Bastard. Well, at least that'll help with my quest.
"So, no more killing Youkai, yeah?" Naruto asked.
Sirzechs nodded, slipping back into a serious persona, "Yup. The criminal who started the ordeal, Kuroka, was caught recently when she tried to break into her sister's transport vehicle. My knight was onboard and caught her. They'll be executed today. Their death, along with our species' new fandom for you, will ensure there is no more violence."
"Let me guess, her sister's name is Shrione?" Naruto asked, remembering his quest.
"Yeah, you really are as wise as the manga portrays, Kami-sama." Sirzechs said, looking at him with respect in his eyes.
Great, the two I need to save are the only ones in danger. Whatever, I would've saved them anyway even if I didn't have this quest.
"Any chance we can not do the whole executing thing?" He asked.
"It warms my heart to see you care so much for those of your species, Kami-sama, but I'm afraid not. There are still many devils calling for Kuroka's head." He answered apologetically.
Naruto thought for a moment, and then an idea formed in his head. "If you can't stop the execution, then I can't get you an autograph."
Sirzechs drooped comically, looking like a kid who was just told Santa wasn't real, "B-but my Rias-tan wants one really badly… she'll think I'm a super cool big brother and give me a hug if I get her one!"
Naruto fake sighed dramatically, "What a shame… I would love to get an autograph for such a big fan, and maybe even meet her in person, but I can't with the guilt of their execution weighing on me so heavily."
Naruto nearly burst out laughing as the strongest devil looked like a panicked child, "Wait! The Astaroth clan is in charge of the execution. If I force them to free the sisters, it'll be overstepping my authority as a Maou and could start another civil war. I could convince them to let the younger sister go, but they'll never willingly let Kuroka go free."
"Oh? Well, I guess if you think preventing a war is more important than your sister having a day-long vacation with the Youkai God, then I can't change your mind." Naruto said, a foxy smirk appearing on his face.
Sirzechs looked panicked, staring down at the table as he genuinely considered starting another civil war so Rias would think he was cool.
Fine, I'll throw him a bone. A civil war between my new neighbors would be annoying.
"Though, I guess if you just tell me when and where the execution will be held, I can call it even," Naruto said.
"Really? Thanks, Kami-sama! It'll be in 10 minutes, at the new Astraroth estate!" Sirzechs said, sighing as he calmed down from his panic.
Naruto's eyes nearly popped out of his head, "10 minutes!?"
Sirzechs nodded, and now it was his turn to smirk, "It's pretty soon, but I could set up a teleportation circle to get you there right away. Of course, in return, I'd need you to tell Rias that we're best friends later."
This isn't the even trade you think it is. Telling your sister we're friends in exchange for you giving me a straight path to steal your most wanted prisoner is not fair. I thought the strongest devil would be a better negotiator.
"Deal." Naruto said, holding his hand out. Sirzechs grinned and clasped his hand, shaking it.
After letting go of his hand, Sirzech stood up and gestured his hand toward an open space on the floor. The space glowed, and a series of circles enclosing each other appeared, with symbols Naruto couldn't decipher sprinkled throughout them.
"Step in whenever you're ready. It'll take you right outside the bounded area enclosing the execution grounds." Sirzechs said, gesturing with an open hand toward the circle.
"Please, let me accompany you Kami-sama!" Yasaka said, standing up from her seat.
Naruto stood as well, "No, not this time. The situation is unknown and dangerous. I can't promise I can look out for you."
Yes, I can, but I really don't want to babysit you guys again.

"Kami-sama, it warms my heart that you care for me so much that you don't want me to go to keep me safe, but I can hold my own!" Yasaka said, stepping over to the circle.
"You are so kind, Kami-sama, but allow us to help you!" A Youkai guard said, and they started walking towards the circle as well.

Outside the Bounded Area
Naruto stared up at the large purple forcefield dome, allowing the man walking up behind him to remain believing he was stealthy. They were in a dense forest, with trees much shorter than those in Kyoto.

Souji Okita is the knight of Sirzechs Lucifer. He is a former Samurai captain.
"You stand out like a sore thumb, Youkai God." The man behind him spoke. He looked to be in his early 20s, and was covered head to toe in samurai equipment.
"Yeah, I've been told that before. Have you ever seen a ninja who dressed in an orange tracksuit?" Naruto shot back, turning around to face the man.
"You would be a terrible ninja, Youkai God. Your hair would give you away" The man said, chuckling.
You couldn't be more wrong.
"I'm sorry I must do this, Youkai God. My master is a fan of yours, but I've been hired by the head of the Astraroth clan to ensure no one crashes the party." Souji said, drawing his sword from his hip.
"No hard feelings," Naruto said simply, and a moment later Souji appeared in front of him, a gust of wind filling where he once was. His sword slashed at Naruto but was met by a kunai that slipped out from his sleeve.
He's fast.
Souji took a step back, then flung a flurry of slashes towards Naruto, but none of them landed. Naruto jumped back, before leaping upwards into a tree. A second later, he was forced to jump into another one as the tree split in half.
"Why are you running, Youkai God? You need to defeat me quickly if you want a chance at preventing the execution." Souji said, looking at him curiously.
Naruto smirked, dodging another slash from Souji, "Oh, I have all the time in the world."
Souji sent a sharp wave of wind towards him, but Naruto leaned backward, allowing the blade of wind to fly past him and cut in half the branches above him.
"Oh? Why's that, Youkai God? Are you so confident in your abilities that you think you can play around with me first?" Souji asked, stopping his strikes and standing still.
Naruto smiled widely, his teeth showing, "Nope! It's because I'm not the real Naruto! I'm just a distraction."

"Ah, a good attempt, Youkai God, but I won't fall for your trickery," Souji said, taking a fighting stance again and holding his sword in front of him.
Naruto's smile faltered even more, "W-wait I'm actually not the real Naruto! This is where you're supposed to be all shocked that you've been duped and run in to stop the real one, only to realize you're too late!"
"You are a terrible liar, Youkai God. Someone as old as I can see through you easily. Now that you know your trick won't work on me, let's battle seriously!" Souji said, pointing his sword towards Naruto in a challenge.
"No, I'm really, ah, whatever. It doesn't matter. Stab me with your sword, then I'll explode into a cloud of smoke, and we'll flashback to how the real Naruto and Yasaka stopped the execution while you run into the dome in a panic." Naruto said, opening his arms to give Souji a free shot at stabbing him.

"You can't fool me, Youkai God! I've seen your manga! You're planning to make me the villain of your next one! You want me to stab you to gain the eerie of the readers, then you'll make a comeback and defeat me while injured to look even more heroic! Us samurai live private lives, Youkai God, I won't allow myself to become the antagonist of your next manga!" Souji shouted, sheathing his sword and glaring at Naruto.
Naruto sighed, pulling out a kunai and stabbing it into his stomach, popping himself into a cloud of smoke.
"WHAT! I was tricked! You pretended to be a bad liar to trick me, Youkai God! You truly are even more clever than I thought!" Souji shouted, before sprinting into the bounded area.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 minutes earlier, inside the bounded area.
The execution ground was… unimpressive. Naruto expected something extravagant, considering this was a noble devil's estate. Instead, there was a foldable table sitting in the middle of a big field, on which was sitting the two Nekoshou sisters. Their hands were tied together behind their backs, and their eyes looked glazed, as if under some type of drug or magic.
There was a devil in a full set of armor, looking like a medieval knight. He had a large halberd in his hand. Naruto assumed he was the executioner. Around them, there were various devils from different classes there to watch the execution. Devil society made a big deal about showcasing one's prestige in society, so the lower-class devils were relegated to sitting on cardboard boxes, while the higher-class devils, such as nobles and heads of households, had folding chairs.
Naruto and the group of Youkai, consisting of Yasaka and 3 guards, were crouched behind a bush in the forest that surrounded the open grass field.
"Why are they sitting on cardboard boxes?" Naruto whispered to Yasaka.
"Honestly, I have no idea. Usually, an execution this significant would be a huge spectacle, with wine for the guests and fireworks afterward." Yasaka answered, looking as confused as him. Naruto glanced over at a small wooden crate sitting on the far right side of the field, which had a bowl of punch and a plate of crackers on top of it. Not wine.
Naruto's curiosity got the best of him, and he stealthily snuck his way over to a large devil sitting on a cardboard box. He was far too big for the box, and it was crumpled beneath him.
"Hey, why are you sitting on a cardboard box?" Naruto asked him.
"Oh, hey Youkai God. It's because all the devils had to leave the underworld so quickly, so the Astaroth family didn't have time to get any real furniture, but didn't want to delay the execution," The devil answered, turning his head back to look at the execution folding table. Then, his eyes widened, and he did a double take, "Wait, Youkai God?"
"No, that's not me," Naruto said, waiting for his system to kick in. It didn't.
"You're definitely the Youkai God. I read your manga, I know what you look like. How the hell are you here? I need to tell somebody!" The devil said, moving to stand up. Naruto's hand clamped on his shoulder, pushing him back down.
"No, no, definitely not me. There's no Youkai God here. In fact, the Youkai God isn't even real." Naruto said seriously, staring into the man's eyes. This time, the system decided to help him out.

The man slouched back onto the cardboard box, staring in boredom towards the Nekoshou sisters again as he completely forgot about Naruto's existence.
Naruto snuck his way back to the group of Youkai as a man walked towards the table the Nekoshou were on, speaking loudly to the group of devils, "Welcome, my fellow devilkind! We've gathered here today for the long-awaited execution of Kuroka, the heinous criminal who killed her master, along with her sister Shrione!"
A round of cheers went off at his words, and the man puffed out his chest. He looked to be in his 50s, had dark black hair, was fairly short, and had a pudgy face.
"And don't forget, it is I, Lord Astaroth, who set up this execution!" The man, revealed to be Lord Astaroth, boasted as the crowd around him cheered. He turned to the executioner, "Now, let the execution begin!"
"Time to go," Naruto said. He swiftly created two shadow clones and then stood on their hands as they flung him over the crowd of devil's heads, landing right next to Lord Astaroth.
"What th-" Lord Astaroth was interrupted by Naruto's fist smashing into his face, sending him careening into the crowd of devils. Naruto's foot swept out, taking the executioner's legs out from under him.
"Intruders! Get them!" A shout came from the crowd, and Naruto found himself in a series of attacks as the guards stationed around the field came flying at him.
These guys are so slow. I'd run laps around them even when I was a kid.
Naruto dodged one devil's sword easily, stepping forward and slamming his elbow down on his head. The next guard tried to punch him and was swiftly thrown over his shoulder, blocking a blast of fire magic from a guard behind him with his body.
Yasaka and the Youkai guards caught up with him, bursting through a side of the crowd and launching into the guards. As the Youkai dealt with the guards, Naruto started walking towards the Nekoshou sisters.
He looked down at the sisters, smiling awkwardly as he tried to put them at ease, "I'm here to save you, alright?"
The black-haired one, Kuroka, nodded weakly. Naruto walked around to the back of the table and swiped his hand through the rope holding the white-haired catgirl first, "That was a piece of cake."
He saw Shirone nod weakly at his words. He moved to the other rope, easily tearing through it. The two girls turned around to look at him, and he smiled again to put them at ease, "You're safe now, I promise. I'll never let another Youkai die by their hands."
What Naruto didn't know, was that the two Nekoshou sisters were seeing something much different from him.
They were drained of energy, hungry from not eating that day, and their minds were addled from the sedative drugs they had been forcefully fed to ensure they didn't try to escape. A combination of these factors caused them to hallucinate slightly.
Kuroka saw Naruto approach them, glowing like the sun. He smiled handsomely at her, "I'm here to save you, my love."
Kuroka nodded weakly, her heart pounding in her ears at his words, and she felt a tug in her chest.
He loves me?
Shirone blinked her eyes as she heard him walk around behind the table. His hands brushed against hers and then sliced through the rope. She looked over her shoulders, her eyes locking onto his. She felt herself get lost in them.
"I'll get you a piece of cake," She heard him say, and her heart started pounding.
How does he know I love sweets?
The two Nekoshou turned around to face Naruto as he spoke again, his smile lighting up their world like the sun, "You're safe now, I promise. I'll never let someone I love so much die."
Both catgirls stared at him, their mouths hanging open slightly in awe. His energy felt so safe, so warm, so comforting Their hearts were beating faster than ever before, and they shared a single thought as their pupils were replaced with hearts.
Soulmate.
+1000 Affection with Kuroka (Loved)
+1000 Obedience with Kuroka (Loved)
+1000 Affection with Shrione (Loved)
+1000 Obedience with Shrione (Loved)
Naruto blinked as he stared at the large amount of reputation he gained.
I guess they're really thankful I saved them.
He blinked again as he saw another notification, his head filling with the memories of his shadow clone.
+100 Reputation with Souji Okita (Liked)
I guess he respected my cleverness… which wasn't clever at all. The system is just way too good.
He was pulled out of his thoughts by a shout behind him.
"You might be strong, Youkai God, but your friends aren't! I read your manga, and I know how much you value your fellow Youkai and the power of friendship, so if you don't want this guy's head blown off you better do what I say!" Naruto turned around and saw a blue-haired teenager holding one of the Youkai guards in a headlock, a magic circle on his palm as he directed it at his head.
Diodora Astaroth:

Diodora Astaroth is the heir to the Astaroth Clan.
"Well, Youkai God? You better listen! I bet you regret bringing your friends along with you now, huh?" Diodora mocked him.
Naruto readied himself to blitz the poor kid and save the guard when an idea came to his head.
It worked earlier, what if I…
"What do ya mean? I didn't bring anyone." Naruto said, staring at Diodora.
Diodora blinked in surprise, not expecting that response, "What? I'm literally holding him hostage right now."
"No, you're not. I'm the only Youkai here." Naruto said, ignoring the bewildered stares of the devils around him.

Suddenly, as if broken out of a trance, every devil blinked in unison.
Diodora released the Youkai guard and aimed his hand at Naruto, "He's just one man! We've got a whole crowd of noble devils here, we can beat him!"
Diodora's head snapped back as the Youkai guard he was holding hostage hit him with a punch, and Diodora looked up from the ground at Naruto with fear in his eyes, "Be careful, he's so fast I didn't even see him move!"
I can't believe this is working.
Another devil from the crowd rushed forward, swinging a wild haymaker at Naruto, but Yasaka swiftly swung her tail into his gut and sent him flying into the forest.
"How did he do that?! He didn't even move! Can he attack with just his mind?" A devil screamed in panic.
A devil launched himself at Naruto, but ended up barreling straight into a Youkai guard that he believed wasn't there and fell to the ground, "He made a barrier around him! We can't even get close to him! What do we do?"
Naruto couldn't help himself and burst out laughing.
This game is pretty fun after all.
The next few minutes consisted of the devils trying various strategies to attack Naruto, ranging from coordinated attacks to wild rushes, but never getting close as the Youkai whom they were fully convinced didn't exist took them down. Even Souji, who'd been unfortunate enough to arrive just as he was speaking with Diodora, didn't manage to get close.
Out of all the devils in the area, there was only one who never joined the battle. There was only one man who didn't stare at Naruto in fear and shock.
On the outskirts of the battle, Sairaorg Bael watched the devils make a fool of themselves. He left in the middle of the battle, returning to the Bael's new home in the overworld, and regaled his peerage about the bout of insanity that overtook the noble devils at the execution. About how they were all defeated by invisible enemies, shouting about a Youkai God that didn't exist.
What Sairaorg Bael didn't know, was that the Youkai God had talked to him earlier that day, convincing him that he didn't exist after they spoke about the cardboard box Sairaorg was seated on. Sairaorg was affected by Naruto's system twice, resulting in him being unable to visualize either Naruto or the Youkai with him. Sairaorg Bael regaled his peerage about the noble devils at the execution going insane, not knowing that he was the most insane one of them all.
A tale spread throughout the entire supernatural realm, about how the Youkai God successfully saved the SS-Class criminal Kuroka and her sister from execution, fighting off a hoard of hundreds of noble devils without even a scratch on him. The tale spread and became more and more exaggerated as witnesses who fought against him chimed in, speaking of how he could defeat enemies with his mind and had an unbreakable barrier around him.
The tale spread throughout the entire supernatural realm and became a legend regaled for years to come. Or, it would've, had this conversation not happened.
"Yasaka," Naruto said, staring at the crowd of unconscious devils around them, "is this going to start a war?"
Yasaka shook her head, a serious look in her eye, "Don't worry about that, Kami-sama. I'll do my duty as Queen and ensure everything is smoothed over with Sirzechs."
Naruto looked at her with a newfound respect.
Damn, I guess she can act like a real Queen when she gets serious.
What Naruto didn't know, was that "smoothing things over" referred to her commissioning the next part of his manga, and allowing Sirzechs to have a copy for his sister before it was publicly released.
And so, the tale of the Youkai's God rescue mission was never spread throughout the supernatural world, because a manga telling the story was instead.

(Changes will be coming to Naruto's stats soon, I promise! I was going to include it in this one, but I felt like this ending was too good. The next chapter will likely be a lot of stat/quest stuff!)
Wouldn't the pure energy get polluted when it merges back with the rest? It makes sense to purify at the central point, since it keeps circulating back to it, so it would be more simple/efficient to do so there. It's because this building is the central point of the Leylines, where all the energy flows. All the energy in the city will eventually pass through here, so by purifying the energy here, it'll flow throughout the city and purify everything."

(Important schedule update for this story at the bottom of the chapter)
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto groaned as a ray of sunlight shined over his face through the window in his room. He turned his head to the left, grabbed his pillow, and stuffed his face into it, feeling the warmth surrounding his face.
This world's pillows are so warm and soft…
Naruto felt his other pillows press into his side, and he let himself fall back into sleep's embrace.
…
Wait, I only have one pillow.
…
Also, pillows aren't supposed to move on their own.
Naruto opened his eyes and glanced up, a pair of amber eyes staring back at him.
"Yasaka." Naruto's muffled voice spoke.
"Yes, Kami-sama?"
"Why are you in my bed?" Naruto asked, his face flushed red.
"I didn't want to be left out. I didn't think you'd mind, you seemed very comfortable stuffing your face into my breasts." The Youkai answered, smirking down at him.
"Left out?"
Naruto groggily pulled his face out from between Yasaka's breasts, ignoring her smirk turning into a frown as he did, and glanced at the pillows pressing into his other side.
"Nooooo, 10 more minutes nyaa~" A silky voice belonging to the black-haired catgirl laying next to him whined as she wrapped her arms around him, pressing her face and breasts into his side while her legs wrapped around his. She had a loose bathrobe wrapped around her, but the knot in the front had come untied, and her breasts would've been completely visible if they weren't pressing into him.
As much as Naruto loved the situation he was in, Naruto Jr. was rapidly growing in his pants and he wasn't sure he'd be able to control himself if it continued. Naruto sighed as he sat up, pulling himself out from their grasp, but was stopped as a small squeal came from under his blanket. He blinked as he stared at the blanket that was covering him up to his neck.
I know this world is weird, but I don't think blankets are supposed to make that noise.
Naruto carefully lifted the blanket to look under it and was greeted by a pair of gold eyes staring up at him. A small catgirl with a bob of white hair on her head was lying on his chest.
"Are there any other Youkai hiding in my bed that I should know about?" Naruto sighed, glancing at Yasaka with tired eyes. She opened her mouth to respond but was interrupted as a head popped up from behind her shoulder,
"Nope, just us four, Kami-sama!" Kunou informed him helpfully, smiling brightly at him from over her mother's shoulder. Naruto pinched his nose as he fought off a headache.
Well, at least this world won't be boring.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I was glad this world would be exciting this morning, but this wasn't the excitement I was thinking about.
Naruto's hand moved in a familiar pattern as he signed his name on the front of a manga.
"Thank you so much, Kami-sama!" The young red-haired devil in front of him exclaimed, bouncing up and down on the spot as she stared down at her signed copy of his manga. Giving her an autograph would've been fine, as he'd already promised Sirzechs he'd spend a whole day with the girl in return for the execution grounds location the day before, but he hadn't agreed to give an autograph to the long line of people behind her.
"Why is there a mile-long line in front of this table, Yasaka?" He sighed, turning to the Youkai queen sitting next to him, "I agreed to spend the day with Rias, not the entire population of the underworld."
"It costs a lot of money to publish a manga, Kami-sama, especially to get one drawn and released overnight. We're running low on funds, so I thought we could charge for some autographs!" Yasak exclaimed, trying to sound excited but sounding more sheepish than anything.
"Can you sign this one too, Kami-sama?" Naruto didn't get the chance to reprimand the Youkai queen as his attention was dragged back to the young female devil in front of him, who was now holding out another manga toward him. He took it from her and looked at the cover.
…Another one?
"What's this?" Naruto asked, glancing over at Yaska and showing the front of the manga to her. It was in a similar style to the previous one, with a shirtless Naruto standing on the edge of a cliff with a large valley in front of him. On the other side of the page was a similar-looking cliff, with a shirtless muscular black-haired man glaring across the valley at Naruto. Kuroka and Shirone were in handcuffs at his feet.
"The next chapter of your manga, Kami-sama." Yasaka said, having the decency to at least look embarrassed.
"You're battle with Lord Astaroth was so cool, Kami-sama! The way you saved the Nekoshou sisters was amazing!" Rias said excitedly, stars in her eyes as she stared at Naruto in awe, bouncing up and down in place. Naruto glanced at the cover again.
"Is this meant to be Lord Astaroth?" He said, gesturing to the muscular shirtless man on the cover.
"Yes, Kami-sama." Yasaka nodded.
"That looks nothing like him." Naruto deadpanned.
"Well, we were actually flat broke after just the first chapter, Kami-sama. Lord Astaroth financed the release of the second chapter, but in return, we had to make him look a bit better," Yasaka said, looking at him apologetically, "but don't worry, Kami-sama! I didn't budge on any of the details, you still defeated him in the manga just as spectacularly as you did in reality!"
If you consider taking him down with one punch spectacular, I guess so.
Naruto sighed, signing his name on the cover and handing it back to Rias before standing up, "I'll be right back, I left my… something in the bedroom."

Yasaka nodded, "Of course, Kami-sama. I'm sure they won't mind waiting a moment for you to get your something."
This world is so stupid.
Naruto walked back into his bedroom, walking past the sleeping Nekoshou sisters who were cuddled together in his bed and headed into the bathroom. His hands flashed a series of symbols and a moment later a replica of him appeared from a plume of smoke.
"Take over giving autographs for me, okay? Just do whatever Yasaka says, and do- never mind. You're me, you already know what to do." Naruto said, opening the door back into the bedroom and gesturing for his shadow clone to leave. Said clone gave him a nod that was too serious for someone going to sign autographs and walked past him. Naruto walked back into his bedroom, and sat on the edge of the bed, being careful not to wake up the sleeping Youkai sisters on his bed, then glanced up into the air.

Naruto glanced at the 185 available attribute points he had.
These numbers don't seem to mean much, but it's always good to be well-rounded, right? Maybe I'll really get smarter.
He dumped half of the points into INT and the other half into CON. He stood up stiff as the changes took effect, his hand clutching his head.
All these interactions… all this knowledge… I feel as if I can see the future. All the knowledge about this world is flooding into my head… Serafall, Ophis, Azazel… every important figure is flooding into my mind. I'm a genius… wait.
Naruto blinked as he stared at the door between his room and the room where his clone was giving out autographs.
No, I didn't get smarter at all. My clone just popped and I got his memories. Why the hell did he do all that?!
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Minutes earlier, with Naruto's shadow clone
Naruto walked back into the throne room, the line of people waiting for autographs looking a bit different from before. There were roughly 20 people inside the throne room, the rest of the line stretched out the door and into the streets of Kyoto. The people in the room had previously been a mixture of excited and bored - excitement at getting an autograph, and boredom from waiting in line. The room was now tense.
"Why are you here, Ophis?" Sirzechs said, his hand glowing with the Power of Destruction as he stood protectively in front of Rias. He wasn't the only one ready to fight, as nearly everyone else in the room was staring wearily at the short girl standing in front of the table, even Yasaka. The short and petite girl had long black hair and was wearing a black gothic dress that left her chest completely exposed, her nipples being covered by tape in the shape of an x. Her face was completely emotionless as she stared at the battle-ready man.
"I want an autograph." She said simply. She turned toward Naruto as he walked into the room again, holding up the two manga in her hand, "Sign these."
"Look, lady, if you want an autograph you need to wait in line like everyone else," Naruto said dismissively, sitting back in his chair behind the desk.
"Do you know who I am?" Ophis asked, a slight bit of emotion coloring her normally emotionless face as she stared at Naruto incredulously.
"Nope, doesn't matter to me. Go get in line. Want me to sign yours too, Sirzechs?" Naruto asked, turning toward the man who was standing protectively in front of his sister. He seemed frozen in place, as was the rest of the room at Naruto's dismissive response to Ophis. Jaws were on the floor as they stared at Ophis, waiting for the ticking timebomb to explode.

"Ok." Ophis said emotionlessly, turning and walking out the door to head to the back of the line. A flurry of whispers broke out as she did.
"Did he just command the Ouroboros Dragon?"
"She actually listened to him?"
"The Youkai God really is amazing!"

Maybe she really was a big deal? Oh well, that's Boss's problem now.
"Come on Sirzechs, we got a lot of people waiting." He said, gesturing for Sirzechs to hand him the manga in his hand.
"Thanks, Naruto-chan!" Sirzechs exclaimed, turning to Rias as Naruto signed the manga, "I can call him that because we're best friends. Your big brother is pretty cool, huh?"
"Yeah! That was awesome!" Rias looked up at him in awe as Sirzechs grabbed the manga and they stepped out of line to leave the building. His next customer was… a magical girl?
"Hello, Youkai God-chan! Can I call you Naru-chan?! You can call me Levi-tan in return!" The girl in front of him had long black hair, and huge breasts that looked even bigger on her short body. She was dressed in a completely pink magical girl outfit.
A grin appeared on Naruto's face, "I like your style, Levi-tan! I always go for an outfit that's completely the same color too."
"I can tell, Naru-chan! You look awesome!" The chipper girl exclaimed, ignoring the fact that he never agreed to let her call him that, as she gestured to his full orange tracksuit. He'd been wearing it when he arrived in the world, and after Yasaka saw how much he liked it she had a few sets of the same outfit made.
Well, maybe there are some people with good taste in this world after all.
Naruto's grin widened at the girl's cheerful attitude, signing her manga, "I think we'll be good friends, Levi-tan! How do you feel about ramen?"
"Eh, it's alright I guess."
Naruto's hand slipped on the last line of his signature, completely ruining the autograph as his hand went to clutch at his chest. He slumped over on the table in despair, "You broke my heart… Levi-tan…"
"Eh?! Are you okay Naru-chan?! What's wrong?" The magical girl said in surprise as she started shaking his shoulders.
"How did you manage to kill the Youkai God already, Serafall-san?" A blonde man said from his spot in line behind her.
"Mouuuuu, I didn't do anything, Aza-chan!" She pouted at the man. Naruto sighed as he sat up.
"I'm fine. Here's your signed manga, Levi-tan."
"Thanks, Naru-chan! I'll come visit sometime to hang out more! Oh, you need to meet my So-tan too! You'll love her! Bye, Naru-chan!" The girl rambled on excitedly as Yasaka ushered the girl out of the line.
"Wait, Levi-tan. I need to say one more thing." Naruto said, crossing his hands together as he stared seriously at Serafall's back. Yasaka paused and let Serafall turn back towards him, "Ramen is the food of the gods, got it?"

The magical girl suddenly stiffened, her eyes nearly glazing over as she looked like she came to the biggest realization of her life, her head nodding rapidly at him, "The food of the gods, Naru-chan…"
Yasaka pushed the dazed girl out the door as she continued nodding into space.
Maybe I shouldn't have done that. Oh well, it's Boss's problem now.
"Let me cut you, or I will kill you and all your loved ones."
"O-of course, Dragon-san!"
"Purifying the whole underworld, huh? How'd you do it? Did you get help from a sacred gear user?" The blonde man, Azazel, asked Naruto as he handed him the two mangas in his hand.
"Nope, all me. It's not hard when you're the coolest ninj- ahem, being in the world!" Naruto exclaimed, jutting his thumb into his chest.
"I am going to cut you. Don't resist, or I will erase your existence."
"G-go ahead!"

Azazel's eyes widened, suddenly looking at Naruto in a new light, "The coolest being in the world? I didn't realize you were so cool, but it makes sense looking at you now. You're totally badass!"
"Glad someone else can see it. You're pretty cool yourself!" Naruto said, grinning at the blonde man.
"The name is Azazel. I own this little organization called the Grigori. Let's get some drinks sometime, on me!" The blonde man responded, holding out his hand. Naruto gripped his in a firm handshake, grinning back at the man as a friendship formed.
"I will be cutting you. Do not resist."
"I w-wouldn't dream of it, Dragon-san!"
Naruto blinked as the next person in line stepped up, "Didn't I tell you to go get in line?"
"I did get in line, Youkai God," Ophis responded.
"How did you get to the front already? I've only signed three autographs since I saw you a few minutes ago." Naruto narrowed his eyes at the small girl.
"Everyone in front of me decided that I should cut in front of them, Youkai God. Ask them if you do not believe me." She looked over her shoulder to the line stretching out behind her, all of whom nodded rapidly at her gaze.
Naruto sighed as he grabbed her manga and signed them, "Fine. Here you go."
"I look forward to living with you, Youkai God." She said simply, turning and walking away from the table.
"Yeah yeah, me too," Naruto said dismissively as he looked at the next person in line.
Wait… living together?!
He looked up to question the mysterious girl but she was already gone.
Oh well, it's Boss's problem now. He should've done this himself if he didn't want this to happen.
"Hey, coming through! Great Red here, move outta the way! I gotta get an autograph!" A large man, towering over 10 feet in height, and in a biker outfit shouted as he pushed his way through the line. Naruto raised his hand to stop the man and tell him to wait in line, but the man took his raised hand as a sign for handshake,
"Nice to meet you, man! Huge fan!" He gripped Naruto's hand tightly, so tightly that the shadow clone popped. The man blinked as Naruto vanished.
"Did I forget to brush my teeth this morning or something?"

The present time, with real Naruto.
"You're literally me… how did you mess this up so badly?" Naruto sighed as he walked out the door into the throne room. If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself. Or, not do it yourself, since the shadow clone that was himself just messed everything up. Whatever, you get the point.

Naruto Uzumaki is a Hero from another world, who has been reborn with the power of the Gamer system! His goal is to save the Youkai and see his friends again.
Also shitty drawbacks, one mind controls others in a massive reality warping way (and that honestly feels like a shitty excuse to throw in some Ciaphas Cain from WH 40k level shit or Momonga from overlord, but it's not the same when it's enforced by a power, specifically in a world with gods).[LEGENDARY] Debuff - [Confusion] - Everybody will misinterpret what you're saying constantly.
[LEGENDARY] Debuff - [Bad Timing] - Your perks will deactivate at the worst possible times.
