Chapter 093

It was true. One of the few times he ever bowed to someone was to Rias, and that was because he needed to convince her in his sincerity. He needed her to give him a chance to earn her trust when she had absolutely no reason to.

Another example was with Azazel, while he was annoying...he wasn't really an asshole about it. More like it was friendly ribbing.

So he treated the man well because of it.

This guy was just a flat-out asshole. How could he not call him out on it?

"Hoooh? So you're an honest guy huh? Well, I don't dislike people like you." Toujou said with a small grin. He then motioned for the blond to sit down. "Come. Take a seat."

Naruto nodded and sat down, quickly taking a quick survey of his surroundings just in case.

The 'Great Hero' then motioned towards his plates, in a split-second a man came in and took the plates. He blurred away once he was finished.

The blond looked at the old hero with curiosity, why didn't that man from before interfere with his manhandling of their leader?

He narrowed his eyes, unless he was ordered not to by him...just what was his game exactly?

"...Uzumaki-san. I hear that you were responsible for my daughter's change in outlook. I have to thank you for that." Toujou finally spoke with a small smile.

Naruto snapped his head back to the older man. "Ah...there's no need to thank me for that. I wanted to be her friend anyways so it wasn't too big of a deal..." the blond said while bringing his hand to scratch the back of his head.

"...Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to ask you something Uzumaki-san. What is your ambition in regards to the world as a whole?" Toujou asked bluntly while he steepled his fingers together.

Naruto gave him a dubious stare.

"Don't give me that look kid. Don't you know how irregular you are?...No one knows much about you. Not even Yuki-kun here knows that much..." Toujou said with narrowed eyes and a serious voice. "In a world where everyone knows what their enemies are and their basic abilities...you are an 'unknown'. You are dangerous in more ways than one Uzumaki-san, for the simple fact that we have no idea who or what you want. So...I'm asking you about your intentions."

The shinobi blinked at this, he didn't think that his entrance into the limelight could cause these many issues. So basically he was messing up the balance of power or something like that...?

"...When you put it like that, I can understand I guess. Well Toujou-san...I want to promote peaceful talks between as many supernatural factions as possible. Not really anything more than that to be honest." Naruto said seriously.

The older man stared at him for a moment, keeping eye contact without saying anything. He finally leaned back into his chair with a thoughtful look on his face.

"...I suppose that makes sense. Your actions against the fallen angels speak well of your intentions. So I have a proposal for you then, if you're so intent on continuing your path." the old hero said with a smirk.

The blond looked on in interest at this, not at all noticing that someone was giving the 'Great Hero' a disapproving frown.

Yuki wasn't happy about what her father was about to do. But he told her to stay out of these talks, she just hoped that Naruto would understand later.

"So what do you suggest then Toujou-san?" Naruto asked, tilting his head in curiosity.

"I suggest that you kidnap the little sisters of the current Maous."

Naruto felt his blood suddenly turn cold.

"...Wait...what?" Naruto asked hesitantly, unsure that he heard what he said correctly.

The older man looked on in curiosity, seemingly not aware about the magnitude of what he just suggested.

"You didn't hear me? I suggested that you should kidnap the little sisters of Lucifer and Leviathan." he said again simply.

Naruto shook his head slowly. "No...I heard you. But...are you insane? How the hell can that promote peace in any way...?"

Toujou gave him a wicked grin at that question. "Think about it. If you team up with my faction and hold the little sisters of two Maous...you can force them to the bargaining table. Force them to offer a favorable peace deal with one or both of the other biblical factions. If the other factions are provided with a favorable and binding peace deal...then even if there are some who don't want peace, many of them would accept for the excellent terms wouldn't they?"

The shinobi just stared at him, wide eyed at what he was suggesting.

Toujou continued. "It's not like many don't want such a peace you know? Despite the methods, it wouldn't be totally against their collective wills to make peace. All you'd be doing is pushing it along. Besides...it's not like they'd be able to stop you could they?...My daughter told me of your creative ways of getting out of danger...if you wanted to...you could do this couldn't you?"

He could.

He could.

He could see it in his mind's eye...it wouldn't be hard.

He could crush Rias and Sona as well as their Peerages. He could hide them away, use fuinjutsu to muffle their energy signals so that they couldn't be found.

Once the ransom was sent out to the Maous, Lucifer and Leviathan would no doubt do their best to locate their missing siblings...but they wouldn't find him. Not unless he wanted them to.

He could meet them in person...and they would no doubt attack him and retrieve their sisters from him...

Only to find that they were clones and henged versions of their precious family members.

The stalemate would stretch out, with the Maous desperately searching for their lost loved ones, until he finally gave them an ultimatum.

Bargain or they die.

He wouldn't be serious, but they didn't know that.

Maybe Lucifer could resist the threat, but he doubted that Leviathan could.

He could do this...

"...You could see it now can't you? The peace deal that's formed between factions that loathe one another so thoroughly could begin a chain-reaction. It could be the jumpstart that could cause other supernatural factions to follow their example. Isn't that what you want Uzumaki-san...?"

Yeah. He did want that...

"...Yeah I do want peace between the supernatural factions...that is one of my end goals." Naruto said quietly, acknowledging that fact.

Toujou grinned. "Then we are in agree-"

Naruto slammed his hand onto the table, turning the small wooden structure into splinters.

The old hero stared in shock as he peered into cerulean eyes that...changed.

Blue eyes that now had a slit instead of the usual pupil.

"...But more than a simple peace between the supernatural factions...I want long-lasting peace...! One that promotes coexistence rather than teeth-grinding tolerance!" Naruto snarled, thoroughly pissed off at this man's words.

"Your way...do you really think that everyone will just accept it with a smile!? That the Maous who felt the fear of the loss of a family member would be ok once all is said and done!?" the shinobi shouted, enraged at the idea. Furious at the idea.
