Chapter 035

- You know, Naruto-kun... So far, based on your history and skills, everything leads me to believe that you were some kind of mercenary? - She asked.

Naruto shrugged.

- Something like that, I think. He laughed. - But I prefer the title "ninja".

- Ninja?

- Yes, it seems much more heroic and dignified... - He replied. And unlike what you can imagine, I was very heroic and dignified.

Rias raised an eyebrow in disbelief. Her smile said: "I don't believe it."

- Same? - She asked.

- It is serious! I saved a princess once and a priestess, who asked me to be her future husband or something... she didn't work out. He laughed. - So I protected a spoiled boy and his boastful father, won a ramen eating competition and convinced an old woman to become the new leader of the Village. I defeated a powerful villain who killed my Master and everyone who came after him. arrogantly. I was incredible! - Naruto laughed

Rias nodded.

- If you say so... - She stated calmly.

There was a slight silence, both were thinking about the same thing: The night of conversations they had had a few days ago.

- I... I mean... How do you feel about this? - Rias struggled to formulate a sentence.

Naruto sighed.

- Frankly, I'm getting better. - He said. - I lived my life and died there, in the same way as my wife. It's not like I was teleported here in a spatial fault because of a very powerful jutsu. He shrugged. My life there is - over, now I live here...

- That is good. - Rias nodded positively. - But no desire to return?

-I would be lying if I said "no". - Naruto admitted. - But most of this feeling is "nostalgia". Besides, what would I see? My old children? My grandchildren? Great-grandchildren? My old village? And if time is different between both our worlds and a thousand years have passed there... What will I do? No thanks. Better to keep quiet in mine. - He shrugged again. - I'm happy these days, despite everything.

And I'm happy for you, Naruto-kun~! - Rias hummed.

Naruto smiled, pulling her into a hug.

And it's all thanks to you, Rias. He said, kissing the top of the girl's red head, who was smiling foolishly. Thank you very much! I wouldn't have seen the whole situation if it weren't for you. Sorry for being an asshole a few days ago...

- No problem, Naruto-kun. She said. - Everyone suffers... Everyone needs help.

- And I hope I can repay this help. He said, - separating from her.

Rias opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it, with a complicated expression, which she quickly hid.

A-Anyway, how are you and your old self? - She laughed. 157 years, that's a long time for a human! -

- My genes were good. He laughed. And.... - Well, I think part of me is old and the other part is young, but we are both "Naruto's" and I hope that in the future we can reach a compromise.

May I know what you will do when you reach this concession? Rias asked. Or it's one of those plans to become the "Ninja King Demon God of the Nine Hells".

Naruto's smile turned mysterious.

-... I will paint this world orange! - He admitted, seeing Rias' shoulders fall and she had a face like: "really that"?

Really? - She asked. - May I know why orange?

- Is there a more beautiful and perfect color? - Naruto said with his eyes shining. It's the perfect mix - of Yellow and Red...! - He was interrupted.

- Ara? Is this some kind of dirty suggestion, Naruto-kun? - She said touching her long red strands.

Naruto blinked, before smiling.

- Maybe~! - He hummed. - You know? My mother was a redhead and my father was blonde, I am blonde and was married to a redhead, and my first son, Koga, was blonde and married a redhead! He laughed, looking away. If this world is the same as the past, Rias-chan~! You better be careful, okay?

Rias laughed.

- Yes, I will, Naruto-kun. She said. I'm not the type of person who thinks about dating or anything like that...

And even? Naruto raised an eyebrow. - You should, it's always good to have someone.

Rias blinked and was preparing to respond, when the blonde concluded.

-And what you do with this person is very nice. - He said, with such a serious look, that the redhead didn't know if he was joking or serious.

Rias stared at him in disbelief before laughing.

Laugh a lot, laugh out loud..

- What...? - He didn't understand, pouting. And truth!

- Ara ara... Buchou and Scum-kun seem to be getting along well~! - Akeno appeared there by surprise, making them both turn to her. Should I be preparing to become an aunt?

Rias laughed.

Don't talk nonsense, Akeno~! - He said. Naruto-kun and I don't have that kind of relationship!

-... I see. She said, while looking at Naruto.

Their eyes met and something strange happened.

Neither of them knew exactly what... But this had been happening for a while and neither of them knew what to do. It was so strange!

Naruto sighed.

- Yes, Rias and I have nothing more than a friendship. For some reason, he decided to leave this very hinted to Akeno..

The brunette simply smiled and covered her mouth with her hand.
