"Intelligent guidelines, but I still was able to find out much more from watching you do that stuff than just hearing you say that stuff," Rias immediately retorted.

"Guess that makes sense," Naruto reluctantly granted. Turning back to Yuuto, Naruto continued with a grin, "Nice spar, Yuuto-san.

You're good. We'll need to do this agi-Fuck! My kunai." Naruto's attitude abruptly changed when he caught sight of the weapon he had used to block Yuuto's sword.

The edge was chipped to the point that it was useless to Naruto. Naruto quickly exclaimed in annoyance, "This sucks ass. I've only got eight of these left.

Seven now." Naruto had basically forgotten the two storage seals on his wrist before coming here. He'd only had a dozen kunai in one when he arrived, and they weren't the highest quality kunai.

Four had broken from his training over these months. To see another one bite the dust was a bitter pill to swallow. He didn't need them, but they were some of the few mementos he had left from his original world.

Yuuto didn't quite understand why Naruto was upset about the loss of a little knife, but it was clearly important to him on some level.

So he smiled apologetically before saying, "Sorry. I didn't realize. My demonic swords will damage most human made weapons."

"It's okay," Naruto replied sadly. Naruto then quickly shook his head like a dog to rid himself of the feeling.

Feeling sad just wasn't him. Forcing himself to feel upbeat, Naruto turned to Rias and asked, "What's next, Rias-chan?"

Rias answered with a smirk, "Now I need to see how you would fight against a spell user."

Yuuto immediately chuckled as he understood. Naruto was left confused until he heard a soft voice, "Ara ara, looks like it is my turn. Let's have fun, Naruto-kun. Ufufufu."

Naruto paled. Looking at Rias, he looked at her with a face begging for help. She just chuckled in amusement before walking towards the sidelines.

Like a man facing his death, Naruto turned around in grim acceptance to face the smiling Akeno. It didn't matter if she was hot. At that moment Naruto was looking the Shinigami in the face.

Giving one last attempt to stop this, Naruto asked in desperation, "What happened to the five foot rule?"

"Ufufufu," Akeno giggled out, not comforting Naruto at all. She then lifted a hand, which started sparking dangerously.

She then informed him with her inner sadist starting to peak out, "You seem to be operating under a false assumption, Naruto-kun.

I don't need to get within five feet of you to hurt you, and that's all that matters to me."

Naruto immediately groaned out, "I'm screwed, aren't-Geh." Akeno cut him off by shooting a bolt of lightning at him, which was a pretty good answer as well

Ten minutes later Rias called a stop to the spar.

On one side stood Naruto. Considering he had spent ten minutes sparring a sadist trying to fry his ass with lightning, he was looking pretty good.

He was rather singed and burnt from a few close calls, and his hair was sticking up even more than usual due to all the static.

Still, he was alive and not suffering nerve damage from electric shocks. That was enough for him. The biggest issue was that he was breathing heavily, and looked tired.

The first due to all the screaming and panicking he had been doing. The second due to his nearly exhausted chakra reserves. Another minute or two and he would have dropped.

Akeno was rather untouched overall. However it was clear by her face that she was fuming and disappointed regardless of her untouched state. The spar had clearly not pleased her.

Rias, Yuuto, and Koneko were all showing various levels of bewilderment and amusement. The reason was clear.

The ground of the training field was littered with burnt and destroyed logs. Every time Akeno had been about to hit Naruto, he'd managed to replace himself with a log he pulled out of his ass. A lot of logs.

Akeno let out her frustrations by growling furiously, "Where the hell did you even get all these logs?"

Naruto just gasped for breath before admitting, "No idea. I didn't pay attention in class much. Iruka always mentioned something about praising the lord of the log or something, but I just thought that was because he was slipping something into his coffee.

I can't believe I didn't use this technique more as a kid. Sasuke was right. I was a dumbass. Not that anyone uses it after a certain point. Either way, I'm ready to start praising the lord of the log."

"Tsk. What a shame. I lost my chance. I'm sure your cries of pain would have been so beautiful," Akeno muttered in dejection.

"I hate sadists so much," Naruto cried out from her words.

"Okay, that's enough," Rias told them while clapping her hands to gather their attention. Looking at Naruto, she continued, "So you clearly have some interesting abilities.

That switching thing is clearly useful at evasion. That you didn't attack Akeno indicates you don't have any ranged attacks. Am I right?"

"Yeah. I can recreate several low powered wind techniques with my current reserves, but it will take some time and practice.

For now I'm stuck at short range," Naruto replied with no shame over his current limitations. Emphasis on current.

"Wind, huh? That could be useful," Rias muttered in thought. Looking at him, she then asked, "Do you currently know any other techniques?"

Nodding, Naruto told her, "Yep. Two. A third seems to not work on devils."

"Will you show us?" Rias asked. She usually would have ordered him to, but she was trying to get him to trust her.

"Sure," Naruto replied easily. These were all low level techniques, so it didn't matter much. He quickly started explaining, "That was the Replacement Technique.

As you saw and the name implies, it allows me to replace myself with something of roughly equal mass. Usually a log."

He then ran through a few hand seals before being engulfed in a puff of smoke. It cleared to show that he had turned into a perfect coy of Rias.
