Chapter 079

Naruto blinked as his musings were interrupted, he looked at Mio who was staring back at him with concern.

"...Are you ok? You blanked out there for a minute there." Mio said with fresh concern, how could she not? The blond was missing since earlier today, then he comes back with a singed arm and clothes. Now he is flat-out blanking out on her!

This was all very concerning for the young girl.

Maria walked up to the pair as well, focusing her inquisitive eyes on the blond. "Naruto-sama. Obviously something happened to you today. While I'm sure that you had your reasons in hiding your activities from us...I think that we have a right to know anyways. Please tell us what is going on Naruto-sama."

Naruto glanced at the succubus for a moment before glancing at his psuedo-sister.

"Ok ok, fine. Just sit back down and let me think for a second ok?" Naruto complained while rubbing his temples. This cloak and dagger stuff was hard enough on the shinobi when considering his personality, holding it all up against this scrutiny was flat-out impossible now.

Suspicion would be the only emotion that wouldn't be in short supply if he didn't explain himself. But he wasn't ready to explain himself entirely just yet.

After both Maria and Mio sat down again, he began to talk.

"Look, there has been a lot of stuff that has been going on around Kuoh Town lately. I wanted to keep you guys out of it because of your circumstances, but I guess I can't do that anymore." Naruto said while scratching his cheek, he was actually going to try and train them anyways. He couldn't help but remember how much Azazel-san liked interesting things, and while he trusted the man to an extent...that didn't extend to his friends' well-being.

After all, wasn't someone like Mio a very intersting person?

There were inevitably going to be people like that, that isn't even including the stray devils and the devils that just wanted to kill Mio. So they both needed training eventually, the question was when and how?

Well, he didn't need to worry about those questions anymore. Especially since he has a favor from the little sister of a Maou.

At least...he will tomorrow anyways.

The ninja thing on the other hand...

"Look...there's a reason why I'm not just explaining the entire situation to you two. Part of it is kinda personal and the the other part is for your safety. So if I explain the circumstances behind the burnt clothing...then can you drop the questions for a little bit? I promise that I will answer your questions as soon as I can." Naruto promised while eyeing the duo cautiously.

Maria and Mio locked eyes with one another. All evidence was pointing to some secret that Naruto knew that he wouldn't share. It was a pretty safe bet that it was quite serious as well, the wound on his arm was proof of that.

Mio closed her eyes in resignation. The blond simply never made things simple did he?

She opened her eyes with determination, Naruto took them in during bad circumstances without any hassle or questions. The least they could do was to return the favor by giving him time to answer their concerns.

"Ok Naruto...we get it. We won't ask about who you are anymore. But at least tell us what is going on. Maybe we can help!" Mio said with her hand to her chest, wanting to convey her honest thoughts. Maria nodded energetically to her words and made her own thoughts known.

"Yes Naruto-sama! You've been nothing but good to us for the short time we've known each other! If you're having trouble with something...don't hesitate to come to us!" Maria said with enthusiasm.

Naruto gave them both grateful smiles at their understanding. He needed time to reconcile with something that he has been ignoring for a long time...

His fears.

He knew...he knew that he shouldn't be afraid. These two trusted him and he trusted them in return.

But sometimes it wasn't enough. He once thought the same thing for his closest friend after all...

He shook his head to move away from the darker thoughts which began to cloud his head. He would deal with it later.

At least he kept telling himself that.

"Alright. What do you two know about the fallen angels?" Naruto asked seriously, while settling down into his own chair. Mio's eyebrow rose in confusion at the seemingly random question, but Maria caught on to the implications of the sentence and had her eyes widen in alarm.

"Naruto-sama. Are you saying that fallen angels attacked you?" Maria asked hesitantly, were the fallen angels aware of their presence here? That was the only thing that she could think of that could cause such hostility if it was true.

Naruto shook his head in the negative though. "Before you get confused, let me finish with my explanation. None of this will make sense until I'm done and I ask that you guys keep your questions until then."

Both young devils nodded and let him continue with his explanation.

"Well, the fallen angels weren't the one who attacked me...if anything I sorta attacked them now that I think about it." Naruto stated with a sweatdrop forming on his head, he seemed like a bad guy if you didn't take into account his motives...
