The man looked up at her, his face covered in tears and snot while his bottom lip quivered.
Rias forced a smile, causing her brother to smile as well.
He gave her a small smile before disappearing from the clubhouse.
“What will you do now Rias?” Akeno spoke as she watched the unmoving form of her king.
The red-headed girl let out a sigh before turning towards the door.
“For now, we leave them alone.
We have more important things to attend to tonight.” The girl stated while looking at the setting sun in the distance.
Tonight, was the night where she would gain another member of her peerage.
Naruto was whistling idly to himself as he made his way from the bank to his house.
After tricking Sirzechs and taking a large amount of his money from him, Naruto had kicked the man out and went about the rest of his day.
At the end of it, he closed up his shop and made his way to the bank with his rather sizable check.
He had been waiting all day to deposit the cash and had decided that he would do it personally.
Luckily, he had managed to make it to the bank just before it closed and deposited the large sum of money.
The teller had almost had a heart attack at the amount being put in.
She personally called the owner of the check, Mr.
Lucifer as he liked to be called, to see if the check was actually stolen.
The man had reluctantly admitted that the check was real and gave the woman the authority to process it.
Naruto could hear the frustration in the man’s voice through the short phone conversation and it only served to make the occasion even better to him.
Naruto’s whistling slowly decreased in volume as he thought of items to add to the menu of his shop.
He had recently been experimenting with making Daifuku which was a rice cake with a sweet filling.
The rice cake portion was rather easy but Naruto was attempting to add a twist to the traditional filling. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
He had clones working around the clock in order to discover the greatest combination of rice cake and sweets.
Naruto’s attention was taken away from his sweets when he noticed a very brief flicker of light appear in front of him before immediately disappearing.
His eyes widened slightly when he saw a literal barrier sprout out from the ground and erect itself over a rather large piece of land.
The energy coming from the barrier seemed rather familiar to the blond.
To the normal human eye, the barrier was most likely invisible but to Naruto’s trained eye, it was just sitting here in plain sight.
“Well, might as well step in.” The boy placed his hands on the barrier and began to focus his chakra into it.
The portion in front of him began to waver as Naruto’s chakra invaded it.
After several seconds, a small portion of the barrier shattered like glass, allowing Naruto free entry into the barricaded area.
He stepped into confines of the red barrier, noticing that it seemed to only stretch around the park.
He began to walk deeper and deeper into the park, attempting to find the origin of the barrier.
After only a half a minute of walking, Naruto stumbled upon a very interesting sight.
Laying in the center of a rather large field was a dead boy.
This was the very same boy that had visited his shop only a couple of hours ago asking for treats in a rather perverted fashion.
The boy had to be dead as there was a gaping hole in his stomach and the grass surrounding his corpse took on a crimson color.
But that wasn’t the most surprising part.
What was most shocking was the fact that Rias, the same girl that had walked into his shop and interrogated him, was standing over the dead boy with several chess pieces in her hand and a bright red light surrounding her form.
He saw the girl place the chess pieces on the boy’s chest before stepping back and shouting a few words.
The chess pieces on the boy’s chest began to glow the same shade red before slowly sinking into his chest.
Naruto’s curiosity continued to grow as the boy’s stomach magically began to knit itself back together as if it wasn’t just torn apart a couple of seconds ago.
“A technique capable of bringing back the dead.
I haven’t seen anything like that since the Edo Tensei.
I wonder what part the chess pieces play in it.
Are they just a catalyst that holds what’s necessary for the revival and her energy sets off the chain reaction or are they just for show?
Do the pieces contain some sort of sealing array?
Also what is this energy I keep feeling that is coming from this girl?
I need to find out more about this resurrection technique.
If she is able to control him just like Kabuto was able to, then I have a very bad situation on my hands.
I don’t want to fight another army of undead super powered assholes.
But I don’t think this will be the best time.
My arrival here would be very suspicious and could cause the girl to act irrationally.
Best if I just send a shadow clone to tag her for the next couple of days.
I have a feeling this will turn out to be troublesome in the end.” Naruto’s mind was racing as he watched the girl effortlessly pick up the boy and place him over her shoulder in a fireman’s style carry.
A red seal began to glow under her feet before she disappeared in a bright flash of red.
“Life is about to get a lot more interesting.
I can feel it.” Naruto thought to himself before fading away in a swirl of wind and leaves.
The only evidence of the events that happened the night before was the circular patch of blood stained grass in the center of the park.
