Chapter 4

After crossing the portal, Itachi was surprised because he appeared in an unknown forest and when he looked up only the red sky was seen along with a strange sun.

"So this is the underworld?" He was excited because now his plans can go faster".

Akeno, who had also never entered the underworld, was watching around as he grabbed the tip of his Itachi shirt.

While walking with Akeno, Itachi was trying to figure out what he should do now that he was in the underworld, he knew that if he was seen by a high-class demon he would be killed instantly.

Itachi was constantly with his Sharingan activated, so he could react more quickly if he was attacked.

Akeno seeing those frightening but extremely beautiful eyes was shocked because a week ago his eyes only had one tomoe but now there were two tomoe in his eyes.

Itachi had already explained to Akeno about his Sharingan but she still shocked every time she saw him.

After walking for a while, he finally realized something or better someone was walking towards him.

"Hmph, why do I have to marry that fried chicken?"

A young girl with crimson hair was currently walking through the forest while complaining about her recent engagement that her family had arranged for her.

This young woman is precisely Rias Gremory, sister of the current demon king. And she ran away from home after knowing that she would have to marry riser phenex heir to the Phenex family.

Riser is an extremely lewd man who doesn't care about his wives and Rias was very disgusted with him. Even if her parents said it was for the devil's sake she didn't care since she would like to choose with whom to relate in the future.

While walking she didn't realize that she was being followed by a low-level demonic beast.

The demonic beast that was following Rias was known as the demonic armadillo, they say that its flesh is great to be consumed, Rias even if it was a demon never fought with a demonic beast before so if it was attacked it would be extremely dangerous.

Itachi who was seeing this situation together with Akeno decided to wait for the demonic armadillo to attack, since with this he would have an excuse to talk to Rias.

After the Demonic Armadillo got even closer, Rias finally realized that he was being followed and started running screaming.

"If she hadn't been spoiled, she could easily kill this armadillo". He thought Itachi before starting to follow Rias.

"No, come near me!"

The pressure that the Demonic armadillo was emitting made Rias tremble with fear. And Itachi could only sigh with the scene.

"Time to make a move." Seeing that Rias was about to be attacked Itachi saw that it was time to act. "Stay here Akeno." It was the last thing he said before making some extremely fast hand stamps.

Shunshin no Jutsu

"Who is this boy?" Rias was even more scared because an unknown boy had appeared in front of her in a cloud of smoke.

The demonic armadillo that was about to attack took a few steps back because he felt that the boy in front of him was dangerous. Even if he was a low-level demonic beast, he still possessed an intelligence.

Itachi seeing that the demonic beast took a few steps back, did not hesitate to throw himself towards it.

The demonic armadillo seeing the boy advancing towards him tried to attack at the same time just to hit a wooden trunk, and before he could react he felt a huge pain in his back.

Itachi who used Kawarimi in Jutsu to dodge the Tatu's attack, before appearing behind him and hitting his back hard. He knew he couldn't let the demonic armadillo react so he fired dozens of punches at the armadillo and only stopped when he realized that the demonic beast was no longer breathing.

Rias who saw this whole scene was shocked, she never saw this abilities that the boy in front of her was using, besides those red eyes frightened her tremendously.

"Who, who are you?" She said with a brave expression.

Itachi seeing the girl putting on a brave front can only sigh, since if she were brave in fact, she would have killed the Demonic armadillo with ease.

"My name is Uchiha Itachi."

Rias looked at Itachi as if he were an alien, since it was the first time he heard someone with such a unique name.

"Uchiha-san, thank you for saving me, I'm Rias Gremory, heir to the Gremory family". Rias had a proud expression when talking about the Gremory family.

Itachi didn't care about that, his reason for helping Rias was simply that he would like to copy some skills with his Sharingan.

Rias was not ungrateful and invited Itachi to come to his home, which Itachi quickly agreed. When Akeno suddenly appeared, Rias was shocked because he felt the power of an angel fallen on the girl, making Itachi have to explain that he had saved Akeno.

After Rias heard Akeno's story, she wanted to make her queen, only to be turned down, causing Rias to get tangled up the whole trip.

Only upon arriving at the Gremory residence that Rias returned to her normal appearance, Itachi who saw this thought that if Rias wasn't such an idiot maybe it would be worth making her his companion.

"Maybe I should help her?" These were his thoughts at the moment, he knew that in the future great battles would happen, especially the battles against the beast 666, which would be the most devastating battle.

Upon entering the Gremory residence, Itachi felt a chill in his spine, as he was being watched by some powerful demons.

"Rias, why are you with a human and a fallen angel?"

A voice came from far away, and when Itachi saw whose voice it was he sighed in relief, because this voice belonged to Rias' mother, Venelana Gremory. He knew that as he helped his daughter his mother would not make things difficult for him.

"Mom, they are my new friends, they saved me while I walked through the forest.

Venelana seeing her daughter's unusual expression gave a smile of understanding as she looked at Itachi. "He's not that bad." Venelana thought as she analyzed Itachi.

Rias seeing that her mother misunderstood her words, she blushed with shame and began to explain what had happened.

After hearing his daughter's explanation Venelana finally understood what was happening and was grateful that the boy had saved his daughter, even if he was a simple demonic armadillo, he could still hurt Rias.

"Itachi-kun, thanks for saving my daughter". Venelana bowed while thanking Itachi.

"That was something simple for me, there's no need to bow."

Itachi was not lying, even if a hundred Demonic Tatu appeared he could still save Rias, of course he wouldn't want to be in this situation with his current strength, but it shows the confidence he has.

"I would like to know Itachi-kun, do you know any demons, to appear in the underworld? This was a doubt that was in Venelana's mind, after all one rarely saw humans in the underworld.

Rias also became curious and looked at Itachi intensely as if telling him that he wouldn't leave here until he told how he entered the underworld.

Before Itachi could be explained, Akeno already started talking.

"Hm, actually I who brought Itachi-san, to the underworld".

Venelana finally paid attention to this girl who was with Itachi and day impression was very good, in parts because she found Akeno externally cute.

They kept talking for a while before Itachi said he needed to go back to his house.

Rias felt sad because for the first time she was able to make new friends and wouldn't like to get away from them.

Itachi losing this, gave Rias a quiet smile and waved for her to come to him.

Rias who ran towards Itachi, stopped when she felt a little pain in her forehead, making her look at Itachi as if she wanted to bite his face.

Itachi had hit her forehead with two fingers before she went away.

"See you around."

Those were Itachi's last words before entering the portal to return to his home.

Little did Itachi know, that in the future Rias would look for him, to remember those hours they spent talking, what for Rias who was born in a noble family was something rare to happen.

"I hope to find you in the future". Rias spoke in his mind, while he went back to his room.
